The World Energy Council Assembly was hosting a dinner to recognise the “achievements” of top fossil fuel bosses when the campaigners stormed in shouting: “No awards for climate criminals".

Attendees in tuxedos sipped champagne as the activists were dragged out of the ceremony.

“The image could not be any clearer – they don’t care,” Fossil Free London said in a statement.

“As long as they are making money they will continue… they knew burning their product would kill an untold amount of people.”

Later, two other officers unzipped the bag and found he was hot and had vomited – then zipped it up again and didn’t tell anyone. Neither of them had to give evidence at the inquest.

After a final report found police were responsible for the 1989 tragedy but will not face any accountability, Hennessy spoke to Novara Live on Wednesday night.

Venezuela Airspace Closed By Trump Amid US Military Buildup

Runtime: 0:13
Date posted: 8 months ago
Description: US president Donald Trump has forced the closure of Venezuelan airspace, raising fears of a military invasion under the pretext of a so-called war on drugs.

Many observers, including Colombian president Gustavo Petro, say the US aggression is part of a plan to seize control of the country’s vast oil reserves.

Trump has previously spoken of his desire to steal the country’s oil. "When I left, Venezuela was about to collapse,” he said in 2023, referring to the end of his first presidential term. “We would have taken over it, we would have kept all that oil."

His administration now claims, without evidence, that it is targeting “narcoterrorists” from Venezuela. The US has killed at least 83 people in airstrikes against boats in the Caribbean Sea, drawing condemnation from human rights groups.

In recent months there has been a large build-up of US warships, jets and troops off the coast of Venezuela. The US government’s ow...

This week on Downstream, Ash Sarkar is joined by one of the most controversial political figures on the Left: Roger Hallam. Whether you like or loathe his tactics, it’s hard to deny the disruptive impact he has had through the activist organisations he has led; Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil.

He joins us fresh from his latest stint in a prison cell, where he wrote a treatise for Your Party called ‘Grasping the Enormity of the Moment’. It’s a blueprint for a radical change, in which he sets out his vision for an emancipated future, and strategies for how to get there. Does Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana’s party still have potential? What is the point of sending activists to prison? And what role will Zoom calls play in the coming revolution?
