Watch live as Extinction Rebellion activists stage protest in London

Environmental campaign group Extinction Rebellion have gathered in Trafalgar Square for two full weeks of climate protests across London.

A giant pink table inviting Londoners to “come to the table” and discuss climate change has been erected by Extinction Rebellion protesters near Leicester Square.

In a statement, the group said: “Beginning on Monday August 23, Extinction Rebellion will take to the streets again, with plans to disrupt the City of London to target the root cause of the climate and ecological crisis - the political economy.”
