Plan to block UK oil refineries
Extinction Rebellion is planning to block UK oil refineries next month.
The climate change protesters said they were going to "take a stand to stop fossil fuels once and for all".
The protest group Just Stop Oil will also be blocking refineries across the UK, with other groups to be confirmed.
Extinction Rebellion said the action would begin on April 9 with the aim of causing enough disruption "to create a tipping-point moment".
The group also warned that, following the blockades of refineries, it would "flood" London with people to create their largest number of roadblocks.

Offshore wind industry reminded on supply-chain pledges
Scotland's net zero and energy secretary has issued a clear reminder to the offshore wind industry that supply-chain pledges are more than simply "indications".
Michael Matheson says it is the view of the Scottish Government that the local content commitments made as part of the ScotWind process are "expectations" of what should be delivered.
Industry was warned too that, if the offshore wind boom doesn't deliver long-awaited manufacturing jobs in Scotland, it would be deemed a "failure".
More than 10 years after Scotland was tipped to become the "Saudi Arabia of renewables", the flood of green jobs that were anticipated are yet to be seen.
Energy Voice says that, up until now, the majority of manufacturing work for offshore wind farms in Scottish waters has been carried out overseas.
There is an expectation that ScotWind, and the 17 projects it will deliver, will change that though. Bidders in the process were required to submit a supply chain development statement (SCDS) detailing how they would use Scottish industry.
Nickel headache for electric-vehicle manufacturers
Electric-vehicle (EV) makers are bracing for a setback as the price of nickel soars, says the Telegraph.
As one of the most important components in lithium-ion battery cells, used in most EVs, nickel is a vital material for the likes of Elon Musk's Tesla to build and sell cars.
It is the third-largest component in a car battery, following graphite and lithium.
The metal is essential for increasing how far EVs cars can travel in one charge - the more nickel in the battery, the higher the energy density and the greater the range of an EV with the same weight.
But, as Russia's invasion of Ukraine adds to already surging raw materials costs, car makers will be forced to fork out more cash to make batteries, already the most expensive part of EVs - or find alternative sources.
On Tuesday, nickel surged to record highs amid concerns over supply disruption from Russia, a key supplier, threatening to curtail Musk and other auto executives' ambitions of rolling out more-affordable EVs and dampen broader adoption.
‘Huge’ judgment call for Chancellor
Chancellor Rishi Sunak faces a "huge” judgment call over whether to borrow more or allow household budgets to be squeezed, new research suggests.
The Institute for Fiscal Studies says the soaring cost of living and war in Ukraine present fresh challenges ahead of the Spring Statement on March 23.
Without extra protection, many households will struggle to keep up with bills, it suggests.
The BBC says the cost of living recently hit a 30-year high.
Prices surged by 5.5% in the 12 months to January, up from 5.4% in December, due to rising energy, fuel and food prices.
Inflation, which measures how quickly the cost of living increases over time, is now rising faster than wages and is expected to climb above 7% this year.
