Climate Activists Declare "Shell Must Fall" Outside Shareholders' Meeting
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the Netherlands, dozens of climate activists followed social
distancing guidelines Tuesday as they protested outside the headquarters
of Shell Oil in The Hague, where the fossil fuel giant held its annual
shareholder meeting. This is Greenpeace organizer Helena Spiritus.

Helena Spiritus: "We're in front of Shell's headquarters because we are
in the middle of a climate crisis, we're in the middle of a biodiversity
crisis and a pandemic, and Shell is still behaving as it's business as
usual."
