	968 detained at climate rally urging bold pact http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1260677523 COPENHAGEN - Tens of thousands of protesters have marched through the chilly Danish capital and nearly 1,000 were detained in a mass rally to demand an ambitious global climate pact, just as talks hit a snag over rich nations' demands on China and other emerging economies. The mostly peaceful demonstrations in Copenhagen on Saturday provided the centerpiece of a day of global climate activism stretching from Europe to Asia.

Police said they rounded up 968 people in a preventive action against a group of youth activists at the tail end of the demonstration.
