Extinction Rebellion activists block printing of UK newspapers

Extinction Rebellion (XR) activists have today (September 5th) delayed the distribution of national newspapers after blocking access to three printing presses owned by Rupert Murdoch.

More than 100 protesters targeted Newsprinters presses in Broxbourne, Hertfordshire, Knowsley, Merseyside, and near Motherwell, North Lanarkshire, according to reports.

XR accuses the editors and owner of failing to properly report climate change.

Thirteen people have been arrested in connection to the protests.
