SIX Extinction Rebellion (XR) activists were arrested today after campaigners from the group launched a wave of actions across the City of London to demand insurance firms sever ties with fossil fuels.
An 80-year-old retired healthcare worker was among those arrested after activists targeted the offices of insurance brokers WTW, covering the premises with fly posters and chalk spray paint.
