COP26 latest news LIVE: XR activists march in Glasgow as protests run into third day

Protests have run into their third day outside the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow.

Extinction Rebellion activists have marched through the city centre on Wednesday afternoon to “confront the threat of greenwashing”.

Images show people gathered with banners reading “COP26 act now!” and “No more blah, blah, blah” in reference to a speech made by Greta Thunberg.

Earlier Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced plans for the UK to become the “first ever net zero aligned financial centre” earlier in the day.

He told delegates at the COP26 summit in Glasgow it will soon be mandatory for firms to publish a “clear, deliverable plan” setting out how they will transition to net zero.
