Climate change protesters target BBC HQ

Around 50 Extinction Rebellion climate protesters yesterday blocked the main entrances at the BBC’s London headquarters, with one journalist reporting that the building was on “lockdown”. “We, the people, have decided to do your job and Tell the Truth from the BBC Broadcasting House about where we’re headed if we don’t change course,” Extinction Rebellion said in a statement on its Facebook page about the latest stunt. “We hold you accountable for your criminal and corrupt complacency for totally marginalising the seriousness of the #PlanetaryEmergency.” The group has carried out a wave of demonstrations in the British capital and around the world since Monday. The protests in Britain have seen more than 1,000 people arrested since Monday.
