Hundreds of Activists Protest at COP25 in Madrid, Spain
-------------------------------------------------------

Here in Madrid, Spain, at COP25, the U.N. climate summit, hundreds of
activists gathered Wednesday outside the conference's main plenary halls
to demand rich countries take more drastic action to address the climate
crisis. Activists report being pushed and forced out of the building by
police and U.N. security. More than 300 protesters were forced outside.
A number of them had their credentials temporarily removed. We'll have a
full report on yesterday's protests later in the broadcast.
