COP26 RECAP: Extinction Rebellion protests underway in Glasgow | Joe Biden leaves Scotland | Nessie arrested
Police have made five arrests as hundreds of climate activists marched through Glasgow as part of demonstrations around the Cop26 summit.
The protest was one of several in Glasgow on Wednesday, as the Cop26 summit discussed the financial system.
Police Scotland said on Wednesday evening that five arrests had been made.
Two of the arrests took place after a number of officers were sprayed with paint.
The Prince of Wales met Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio at Cop26 when the two environmental campaigners learned about Stella McCartney’s sustainable fashion.
McCartney said the celebrity appeared “gobsmacked” more designers were not “joining forces” with her push for sustainability and ditching leather for eco-friendly materials.
DiCaprio chatted privately with Charles after they were separately given a guided tour by the designer of her innovative sustainable garments and accessories dubbed the “Future of Fashion”.
