428 people have now been arrested in the UK capital.
CLIMATE CHANGE ACTIVISTS brought London to a standstill for the fourth day running in demonstrations that have led to over 400 arrests.
Meanwhile, a judge denied bail to three people who appeared in court charged with obstructing the transport system at financial hub Canary Wharf yesterday. “No one should be allowed to break the law without consequence,” he said in a statement, adding that he expected police “to take a firm stance”. More than 1,000 officers were being deployed to the streets of the capital each day this week, according to Javid.
The group wants the British government to declare a climate and ecological emergency, reduce greenhouse gas emissions to zero by 2025, halt biodiversity loss and be led by new “citizens’ assemblies on climate and ecological justice”.
