As hundreds of thousands marched to the main stage during Friday's climate march in Madrid, two young children - a brother and sister aged 8 and 11 - staged an act of civil disobedience from a bridge overlooking the protest. While demonstrators marched beneath them, the two children rappelled from an overpass, dangling from ropes in mid-air to hang a banner calling for climate action.
