Greta Thunberg has told a mass rally in Glasgow that the COP26 climate summit has been a "failure".

The Swedish activist joined thousands of young people for a march through the city.

She addressed the crowd when it arrived in George Square, saying "immediate and drastic" cuts to emissions are needed.

BBC News reports the march was organised by Fridays for Future Scotland, a group founded by youngsters inspired by Thunberg.

It was one of the largest of a series of demonstrations that are being held throughout the summit, which is being held in the city.

Many children in Scotland skipped school to attend the march.
