Climate activists dye famous Rome fountain black after floods kill at least 15

Climate activists have dyed one of the most famous landmarks in Rome black in response to devastating floods that killed at least 15 people in north-eastern Italy this week.

Protesters from the Italian equivalent of the UK's group Just Stop Oil turned the popular Trevi Fountain black today, saying floods in the country this week were "a warning" of the impact climate change is having on the world.

About a dozen activists threw a vegetable-based carbon liquid into the central Rome fountain while holding a banner reading "let's not pay for fossils".
