School climate strikes "empower" children

Amnesty International's director in Scotland says it's "educational" and "empowering" for schoolchildren to be involved in the climate strikes.

Asked on ±«Óãtv Debate Night about whether pupils should be allowed to be out of school, Naomi McAuliffe says that it's important for children to join protest marches.

Fridays for Future has seen children across Europe hold strikes outside their school gates to put pressure on governments to tackle climate change.

An international day of action is to be held on Friday 15 March.
