Officer airlifted from demonstration site with head injuries

A police officer was airlifted from a major climate-change protest with head injuries after hundreds of demonstrators descended on one of Britain’s biggest coal-fired power stations.

The casualty followed a day of clashes between police and a section of the protesters, with a total of 21 people arrested at Ratcliffe-on-Soar near Nottingham.
