THOUSANDS of people will march across Britain this weekend as part of global days of action to demand that international leaders rapidly phase out fossil fuels.

More than 40 demonstrations are happening in Britain tomorrow and Sunday, including in London, Edinburgh, Manchester and Plymouth, as part of some 400 actions worldwide.

They follow a warning last week by the United Nations that the world will fail to stop the climate crisis unless fossil fuels are rapidly phased out.
