Police attempt to clear Extinction Rebellion protest camps in London

Arrests made under section 14 order as officers in Whitehall begin removing tents

Police have begun attempting to clear Extinction Rebellion protest camps from around Westminster as they imposed a section 14 order banning demonstrations across central London.

Arrests were made under the order from early on Tuesday morning, beginning at the movement's westernmost encampments on Millbank and moving into Whitehall in the late afternoon, where hundreds of tents had been pitched outside Downing Street.
