More than 100 people arrested in London climate change protests

AKIPRESS.COM - Police have arrested more than 100 environmental protesters as the Extinction Rebellion demonstrations that brought chaos to central London enters their second day, Guardian reports.
Thousands of people blocked four well-known landmarks on Monday - Waterloo Bridge, Marble Arch, Parliament Square and Oxford Circus - to demand urgent action over the escalating climate crisis.
The blockades continued throughout the day but as night fell officers began to arrest people on Waterloo Bridge in an effort to clear it.
Protesters who had spent the night defying police on the bridge were joined by more supporters this morning.
Several people were locked and glued on to a lorry parked across the bridge while others sat around eating and drinking as police and a steady stream of morning commuters looked on.
