Flaming protest near climate summit venue

Dressed as a gyrating Prime Minister Boris Johnson, and "big oil," the protesters set fire to a small boat labeled "your children's future," throwing bank notes into the air.

The aim of the protest was to show the connections between the oil industries and those in power, the protesters said.

Johnson's government has cast COP26, which begins on Oct. 31, as the last big chance to slow rising temperatures, and it hopes to persuade leaders to adopt tougher climate targets.
