Police clash with anti-coal demonstrators in German village

Police clash with anti-coal demonstrators in the village of Luetzerath, in western Germany, which is due to be destroyed to make space for an open-cast coal mine extension.

Luetzerath -- deserted for some time by its original inhabitants -- is set to disappear to make way for the extension of the adjacent open-cast coal mine, one of the largest in Europe, operated by energy firm RWE.
