Just Stop Oil protests disrupt M25 for third day
The motorway was blocked and gantries were climbed by Just Stop Oil activists in Essex, Hertfordshire, Kent and Surrey.
They said the action was to "demand that the government halts all new oil and gas licences and consents".Specially trained officers worked to get to those at height down from the gantries on Tuesday, where Prime Minister Rishi Sunak told world leaders the war in Ukraine was a reason to act faster to tackle climate change.
The Metropolitan Police said 16 protesters had previously been arrested on the motorway in a joint operation with other counties' police forces.Follow BBC South East on
