Over two dozen climate activists from Just Stop Oil have been arrested after they blocked The Mall outside Buckingham Palace in protest against the expansion of oil and gas projects in the UK.

The Metropolitan Police said 25 arrests had been made at The Mall, after members of Just Stop Oil, a spin-off from Extinction Rebellion, blocked the road for two hours and 15 minutes.
