Climate protesters disrupt Wimbledon match

Climate activists interrupted a match on one of Wimbledon’s show courts on Wednesday, scattering orange confetti and jigsaw pieces.

Two Just Stop Oil protesters ran onto Court 18 during the first-round match between 21st-seed Grigor Dimitrov and Japanese qualifier Sho Shimabukuro.

Just Stop Oil wants the UK government to end all new oil and gas exploration and has promised not to let up in its protests until it does so.
