Berlin Brandenburg airport was briefly shut down on Thursday after a group of climate demonstrators broke in and glued themselves to the runway in protest over greenhouse gas emissions.

The airport was forced to close its runways for takeoff and landing for nearly two hours after protesters from the Letzte Generation (Last Generation) environmental group broke onto the site and stuck themselves to the tarmac while others rode bicycles across the shunting area.
