Thousands of Extinction Rebellion protesters have descended on Parliament Square in central London to kick off 10 days of civil disobedience, demanding government action on the climate crisis.

Scotland Yard said 90 people had been arrested. The activists want to force climate change to the top of the political agenda as MPs return from their summer break.
