what we haven't seen yet is them move in like at oxford circus, to try to ta ke like at oxford circustake people away. what protesters have been doing is lying on the ground, so the police are forced to carry them away from here. but the message from the police is people have had enough of this. this is stretching their resources, it's taking resources away from fighting other types of crime, and we really heard that usual plea from the commission at the metropolitan police saying please, if you want to protest, there is a lawful designated site. that is at marble arch. by remaining here, you are breaking the law, the police have gotan breaking the law, the police have got an order saying that people cannot be here. but the protesters are saying well, they are making their point, they are determined to stay here, and that's what we've got a bit ofa stay here, and that's what we've got a bit of a standoff. certainly the police are very keen to bring this to an end, but equally, you've got the protesters saying we are here for the long haul. particularly with a long bank holiday weekend

that is down at oxford circus.numbers are nothing like as busy as they had been during the course of the week. it is a lovely sunny morning, of course, which is bringing people out on the streets anyway, but on this particular occasion, the police almost seem to outnumber the protesters at the moment. that is probably because the protester numbers have reduced over the last 24 numbers have reduced over the last 26 hours. in part because of police action, as they have tried to move them away and persuade people to congregate elsewhere. jenny, that is where police would like the protesters to be. what sign that they are going to co—operate with that? as you can see, there is quite a significant presence here. there are quitea a significant presence here. there are quite a few people based here in the road, and if you look around here, on the green there is a significant number of tents and people that are basing themselves here, so it seems that some people have listened. but on my way here i walked past a number of

behind me here, there is a pink yacht parked in the middle of oxford surface.a road like this could be under water as the ice caps melt, and that is the message they want to spread, they believe there is a climate emergency and we have to act now. whether they are here tomorrow will be up to the police and the tactics they choose in the hours to come. no thank you, dominic, at a traffic less 0xford thank you, dominic, at a traffic less oxford circus, a rare sight. the rate of inflation was unchanged last month, at 1.9%. economists had expected a slight increase. lower food prices offset the price rises in the cost of clothes and petrol. the liberal democrats have announced their candidates for the european elections. the pro—european party will campaign for another referendum on eu membership, in the hope of persuading voters to back remain. the party leader, sir vince cable, has called for anti—brexit parties to work together, saying it would be better if they were "fighting under the same banner". the former president of peru — alan garcia — has died after sh

so we wait to see whether or not really this is coming to an end here at oxford circus.did allude to the fact that this is a very strange protest for the police to be monitoring, and trying to control, because this is a form of civil disobedience, in which there is no violence. very much civil disobedience, but i'm very peacefully. the protesters are saying they don't want confrontation. the fact is that they've been simply lying down on they've been simply lying down on the ground, and that has meant the officers are being carried away, and when they are carried away, they haven't seen any sort of resistance, in fact the cloud have been cheering for the protesters for their efforts. so for the police, an unusual situation, very unusual that we've had these hundreds of arrests, and the strain that that puts on resources . and the strain that that puts on resources. unusual as well that protesters have occupied a number of sides, but the police are trying to get the message across that london has to keep on moving, and if people do want to protest, they can do it lawfully

we are in oxford circus in the heart of central london.ere tonight but are fewer police and protesters than earlier today where the pink boat became a focal point of the gathering here in oxford circus, was removed by police. i'm talking to protesters from extinction rebellion, joe and douglas. joe, why are you still here in the sixth day now? so i arrived on monday. i haven't been an activist before but something about extinction rebellion is really exciting. i came on monday expecting to leave after a few days and i'm still here at the end of day five. basically, it's a really positive, empowering movement. when party politics is so divided and so bitter, this is basically proving a really exciting alternative for what is happening in our democracy. protesters here have been keen to make sure that this is a calm, peaceful protest. how difficult is that for you? what would you say to the many, many people in london who have been disrupted? so yeah, as far as nonviolence and peacefulness goes, that is essential to everything we do. nothing

our reporter matt cole is at oxford circus.om this busy london interchange, which as you can see at the moment, is busy with people and protesters, no policies are no traffic, it has been like that since monday. in the last 30 minutes or so, officers has been handing out leaflets to one people under section 14 of the public order act in 1986 that if they do not move they will be arrested and that is what has been happening. the climate change protesters who would not move have been dragged out one by one, taking away more than a dozen of them ina taking away more than a dozen of them in a fleet of police vans which we understand will be returning to collect more people who are not moving. we understand that the protest at ca nary moving. we understand that the protest at canary wharf has concluded, the demonstrators who tracked —— climbed on top of the train and one who glued himself to it have been removed. this operation, at the moment, there are several hundred protesters still here. they have been dancing and singing and re

oxford circus has now been cleared. that was yesterday afternoon.people have come down and just to give you an idea the police pretty low profile taking photos with the tourist today and a lot of people milling around and seeing what is going on and then that direction where they have been camped for the last seven days. but there has been some confusion about what future form these protests are going to ta ke form these protests are going to take because earlier today a document was seen take because earlier today a document was seen by the bbc, an internal document from one of the organisers suggesting that the direct action, the disruption that has been caused so far was going to be scaled back after this first week and in week two was going to shift more to political action, so talk of trying to get discussions with the mayor of london and also the met police. the protest are seeing what they wanted to do was move away from this site but put all the protesters at westminster so talk that maybe this could be coming to an end in its current form b

just between here and oxford circus. there is that pink yacht that says tell the truth.at, we just wondering weather they will try and move it on in some way this afternoon. these people seem very determined, nearly 600 people arrested but very few of them charge. why have they been arrested? they them charge. why have they been arrested 7 they have them charge. why have they been arrested? they have been arrested to try and resolve the problem. of course, would you see them being released and coming straight back or being replaced. why then do the police need to be that if there is not much to police? from the point of view of the protesters, it was naive of emma thompson shouting. she should maybe stick to acting instead of telling police how to do their job. the bottom line is, there are people who think that this amount of the shopping should not take place and the police should be concerned, getting involved with people moving in on themselves, thejuly to stop. there are people not associated with the protest coming down, who may have ulterior motives, the police ha

elsewhere, campaigners from the group extinction rebellion are continuing to block sites including oxfordand waterloo bridge. since monday, more than 500 activists have been arrested, with some roads in the city still blocked. kathryn stanczyszyn reports. camped out at four central london locations, these climate change campaigners say they are in for the long haul. i've got to get back to work. i've taken a couple of weeks of holiday for this so, yeah, as long as it's counting, really. it does mean another day of major disruption for the capital, already thought to be costing millions to businesses. for some, enough is enough. i pay my taxes and i think it's outrageous that the police force and cressida dick... because you don't believe in law and order. you obviously think people should be able to disrupt and block a major bridge. this is not legitimate protest. but extinction rebellion says this is going exactly as it's meant to, as nonviolent civil disobedience is the best way of getting the government to sit up and take notice. they have apologised to those affected but say this acti

let's speak now to the dean of the government school oxford university.you for being with us on bbc news this evening. if the customs union option is being looked at by mps sympathetically, judging by the numbers on the vote last week, what are the limitations it would impose? because we hear a lot about what it wouldn't allow us to do. would it give us any advantages? the great advantage of a customs union is that you negotiate with all of your european partners as one, so if you are trying to do a deal with any large countries or group of countries, you have a huge market size to negotiate with, and that is the currency of trade negotiations. the policy side of it is the outside of the eu but as members of the customs union, we would be part of the negotiations, but we wouldn't have been setting the policy to start with. that's right. britain has a very clear choice. it can do it all on its own, and switzerland has done that in switzerland has some 200 treaties with the european union which regulate all of the things that need to be regulated, and it ha
