Extinction Rebellion activists chain themselves to the gates of the University of Glasgow

MEMBERS of Extinction Rebellion locked themselves to a gate at the University of Glasgow today to demand that a green new deal be implemented.

The protesters, who are all students at the university, are calling on the institution to adopt a climate strategy developed by students and staff last year.
