'Protest' On Runway At Heathrow Airport

Climate change demonstrators claim to have got onto the north runway at Heathrow airport to launch a protest.

A spokesman for direct action group Plane Stupid said around a dozen demonstrators cut through a fence to get onto the runway at 3.30am.

He said the protesters were campaigning against airport expansion and would remain on the runway for as long as possible.
