BRUSSELS: Thousands of Belgians both north and south of the Flemish-French language divide joined a weekend singalong to fight climate change, with organisers claiming more than 60,000 people took part.
The weekend “Sing for the Climate” event aimed to film as many people as possible singing the same song in scores of towns and villages -- titled “Do it Now” and based on the melody of Italian classic “Bella Ciao”.
Organisers aim to put footage together in a clip ahead of the next UN climate change conference in Doha.
“We want to remind national and international politicians of their responsibility and show them that we are many,” the organisers said on their website.
Three films cluster

LOS ANGELES: Police drama End of Watch and horror thriller House at the End of the Street tied for the top spot at the North American box office this weekend, with Clint Eastwood’s Trouble With the Curve close behind.
Each of the top films brought in $13m respectively at US and Canadian box offices.
The gritty End of Watch, written and directed by the writer of 2001 crime drama Training Day, David Ayer, brought in $13m at US and Canadian box offices.
House at the End of the Street, which features Jennifer Lawrence in her first role since this year’s blockbuster The Hunger Games, also brought in $13m.
Baseball movie Trouble with the Curve was hot on the heels of the top films, taking in $12.7m, according to box office estimates. The film is Clint Eastwood’s first starring role in four years.
