[Just Stop Oil] 
SEVEN Just Stop Oil activists were arrested after they blocked access to departure gates at Heathrow airport today.
The protest was part of the Oil Kills movement, a wave of actions co-ordinated by groups across 12 countries that have targeted 20 airports so far.
The climate groups are demanding that their governments establish a fossil fuel treaty to end the extraction and burning of oil, gas and coal by 2030.
