Climate change activists have turned out in their hundreds for the final day of crunch talks at the Cop26 climate summit in Glasgow.
A protest is currently taking place at the gates of the Scottish Event Campus (SEC) where the conference is being held.
Hundreds of people have staged a walkout and have left the 'blue zone' inside the SEC to join the protests outside.

Protestors are now singing and chanting as they wait for the next speeches to begin.
One climate activist turned up to the protest in his swimming trunks, saying it's an eye-catching way to get his message about sewage pollution across.

Demonstrators asked delegates at the summit to choose between fossil fuels and a liveable planet.
Some of the activists' banners on display outside the conference venue read “no future in fossil fuels”, "which side are you on?" and “clean gas is a dirty lie".

Meanwhile, a demonstration warning of the climate crisis took place in the city's Royal Exchange Square this morning.
Oxfam Scotland activists wore 'big heads' of the world leaders, including Boris Johnson and US President Joe Biden, and mockingly threw small buckets of water onto a simulated bonfire beneath a blow-up planet Earth.
Jamie Livingstone, head of Oxfam Scotland, says the draft Cop26 deal on the table at the moment isn't strong enough and that world leaders need to go further.

Eight people were arrested on the penultimate day of Cop26 in Glasgow, including protesters at the Scottish Power building.
During one protest, activists threw paint over the Scottish Power building on St Vincent Street as demonstrations continue during the crucial climate conference.
Scientist Rebellion members glued their hands to the property and splattered the building with green paint to represent the "greenwashing of Scottish Power".
