Greta Thunberg joins banned French anti-motorway protest

Climate activist Greta Thunberg is expected to join a banned anti-highway protest near Toulouse, France, where tear gas was fired and arrests were made.
Thunberg, known for her fight against climate change, wore a Palestinian scarf and joined other protesters in calling for the cancellation of the planned A69 motorway, which critics say is harmful to the environment and ignores the climate crisis.
Despite the authorities' ban, the protest organizers went ahead with the rally, resulting in at least two arrests and the use of tear gas by the police. Activists have occupied private land to create a "zone to be defended.
