Nineteen arrested as climate change protestors are evicted

Nineteen climate change protestors have been arrested after scores of eviction specialists and police moved in to evict them from a wood they have occupied for seven months.

At least 60 protestors were estimated to have secured themselves in treehouses, underground tunnels and makeshift tarpaulin cabins on the site of an opencast coalmine in rural south Lanarkshire.
