10.20PM     Thousands of Strike 4 Climate protestors march throughout New Zealand

Tens of thousands of school students marched around the country at more than 40 events organised for New Zealand's third School Strike 4 Climate today. 

Thousands of adults joined in to be part of the international movement that has been sparked by Greta Thunberg.
