Extinction rebellion protests banned from London

Extinction rebellion activists say they have left London’s Trafalgar square after police issued a ban on the group’s climate change protests.

In a statement issued on Monday evening, the metropolitan police said demonstrators protesting in the capital after nine in the evening could be arrested.

The group  stated that it would let Trafalgar square go but added that the international rebellion continues.

The protests, which began last Monday, have seen more than 1,400 arrests.

A number of demonstrations have been staged across the capital by the group, which is calling on the government to do more to tackle climate change.
