UK police said traffic has been diverted in central London as demonstrators protesting against the jailing of nine Insulate Britain activists blocked Lambeth Bridge.

The group was jailed this week for breaching an injunction designed to prevent the road blockades which have sparked anger among motorists and others affected by the protests.
