Two remaining Greenpeace activists who secured themselves to a North Sea oil rig in protest against George W Bush's withdrawal from the Kyoto Treaty are expected to leave today.

Six activists boarded the Santa FE 135 oil rig off the coast of Scotland yesterday morning, but four left last night after a court ordered them to remove themselves.

Greenpeace said the remaining two will abandon the protest today.
