More than 30 Just Stop Oil protesters have been arrested after they glued themselves to roads surrounding Trafalgar Square in an attempt to block off the London landmark.
The Metropolitan Police said that 32 people had been arrested for "wilful obstruction of the highway" after supporters of the environmental protest group "glued and locked themselves" on to the road at the top of Whitehall near Trafalgar Square at midday.
Catherine Rennie-Nash, 72, a Just Stop Oil supporter who was part of the demonstration, said it was about "asking the British Government not to allow 130 new oil and gas licences in the North Sea"."Who voted for this?"
