Climate protesters in London are targeting the city's financial districts.

The London Stock Exchange has been blockaded, and a group of demonstrators have also climbed onto a train in the Canary Wharf area.

It's due to be the final day of protests that have been taking place since April 15, where Extinction Rebellion want the government to take urgent action to cut carbon emissions to net zero.

Over 1,000 people have been arrested in total.
