  • An activist burns a flare at the Garzweiler lignite open cast mine ahead of the imminent clearance of the nearby village of Luetzerath, western Germany on January 8, 2023. – Police prepare the planned evacuation of the village occupied by activists, who demonstrate against the demolition of the village for the extension of the neighbouring open-air coal mine.
