Nine arrests in London as climate activists glue themselves to bridges

The wave of “rebellion of one” protests on Saturday, organised by Extinction Rebellion (XR), involved hundreds of activists who blocked roads by sitting alone wearing signs expressing their fears about the future.

Nine people were arrested on Saturday, including activists who glued themselves to bridges in London in protest at a lack of government action two years after parliament declared a climate emergency.
