Just Stop Oil activists protest in central London against fossil fuel projects

JUST STOP OIL protesters returned to central London today to demand an end to fossil fuel projects following the devastating floods in Italy and Somalia.

And in Somalia, a quarter of a million people were forced to leave their homes after the Shabelle River burst its banks.
