London Police made more than 70 arrests as demonstrators blocked several bridges from 10am on Saturday in a call for the Government to take greater action against the looming climate crisis.

Activists from the Extinction Rebellion group blocked five bridges – Blackfriars, Waterloo, Westminster, Lambeth and Southwark. All roads later reopened, with protesters moving towards Parliament Square. Read the full story here.

The protesters called on the Government to halt fracking programmes and "work hard to reduce carbon emissions to zero long before 2050," which is the current goal.
