Description
US actor and activist Jane Fonda calls on the Vienna Opera to end its partnership with "criminal" fossil fuel companies that were trying to "make themselves socially acceptable" by sponsoring cultural institutions while "killing the planet". Fonda arrived in Vienna at the request of Austrian building tycoon Richard Lugner, who since 1992 has been inviting VIPs to accompany him to the world-famous Vienna Opera ball. "These fossil fuel companies are criminal, they are killing people, killing the planet," Fonda tells journalists in Vienna. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
