Two Greenpeace activists have boarded a French warship lined with asbestos off the coast of Egypt, to protest against its journey to India.

The Clemenceau is heading for the Suez Canal on its way to the ship-breaking yard in Alang, in western India.

India‘s Supreme Court has asked the ship not to enter Indian waters until it made a final decision on the issue.

says India is not equipped to deal with the ship’s high levels of toxic waste.

The warship is expected to arrive in India in early March this year.
