Eco-luvvies Daisy Lowe, Mark Rylance, Ruby Wax and Juliet Stevenson today joined Extinction Rebellion protesters in Trafalgar Square as they shut down the landmark and surrounding roads on the first day of a fortnight-long campaign of chaos planned for London. For the next two weeks XR plan to cripple the capital with 135 protesters arrested already since the protests began at around 7am today. One senior member warned ahead of the protests that if police shut them down: 'We have other plans that are more disruptive'. Today streets around Westminster are packed with police threatening to arrest anyone blocking roads - but witnesses said they were being swamped because of the number of eco-zealots gathering on streets and bridges.

WARNING GRAPHIC CONTENT! Accident at a moto show in Brazil. The injured girl biker is doing well. 🤪 #losers
Terrible road accident in UK. The BMW jumped a red light at high speed and collided with the white van before flying out of control into Rio's Peri Peri in Coventry. Three men emerge from the wreckage of the car and flee, totally ignoring the van driver, a man in his 30s, who is clearly shocked and in pain. 😱
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell upbraided President Donald Trump on Monday for his announced withdrawal of U.S. troops from northern Syria, calling it a 'retreat' that 'would increase the risk that ISIS and other terrorist groups regroup.' Trump's Republican allies, one after another, condemned his decision. Some focused on potential harm to American interests in the Middle East. Others warned that the troop pullout could doom hundreds of thousands of Kurds to a Turkish genocide. The president responded by warning the Turks not to test his 'great and unmatched wisdom' and threatening to 'destroy' the country's economy if they did anything 'off limits' – an apparent reference to the possibility of Turkey invading Kurdish territory in Syria.

Former US President Jimmy Carter got right back to work Monday, helping to build Habitat for Humanity homes in Tennessee - just one day after a fall at his home left him with 14 stitches on his forehead. Video captured by NBC News Monday in Nashville, Tennessee, showed the 95-year-old expertly wielding an electric drill as he put together pieces of wood for a corbel, which would be used in the building of the Habitat for Humanities homes later in the day. The bandages covering his stitches and the bruises around his eyes can be seen peeking out from under the brim of Carter's cap as he works. He seems to be completely untroubled or slowed down by the injuries that stemmed from his having taken a spill at his Georgia home on Sunday - his second fall in six months. 🕺🏻
Hundreds of environmental activists with the group Extinction Rebellion descended on New York City's Financial District on Monday morning to protest against climate change. Twenty-six people were arrested at around 10.30am after protesters poured fake blood on the famous Charging Bull statue near Wall Street. One woman was arrested for reckless endangerment after she climbed on top of the bull waving a green Extinction Rebellion flag. The protesters staged a 'die-in' by covering themselves with the fake blood and lying in the street. #NY #NYPD
