Climate activists are staging a 10th straight day of protests in Berlin. They blocked key roads during rush hour and brought parts of the German capital to a standstill on Friday. Members of the group Last Generation glued themselves to the road and caused long traffic jams for commuters driving into the city. The group is trying to draw attention to the threat of global warming and the need for governments to step up measures to curb greenhouse gas emissions. Last Generation has acknowledged that its protests are provocative but argues that creating friction can encourage debate about climate change. Some German politicians have called for tougher police measures and sentences against the activists.

Germany has ordered Chad’s ambassador to leave the country, responding to the central African nation’s expulsion last week of the German ambassador. Chad’s government on Friday gave German Ambassador Gordon Kricke 48 hours to leave, citing his “discourteous attitude” and accusing him of failing to respect diplomatic customs. A brief statement gave no further details about the reason for his removal. Kricke returned to Germany over the weekend. Germany retaliated on Tuesday against what it called “the unfounded expulsion of our ambassador.” Chad’s ambassador in Berlin, Mariam Ali Moussa, was summoned to the Foreign Ministry and given 48 hours to leave.
