Climate protesters try to block UK's Johnson as he goes to palace

Demonstrators briefly tried to block the wide ceremonial road leading to Buckingham Palace on Wednesday as Britain's incoming Prime Minister Boris Johnson was driving up it in a convoy to meet Queen Elizabeth to begin his term as leader.

A group of mostly female protesters in red linked hands across the road while others briefly unfurled a "Climate Emergency" banner as they sought to interrupt the passage of a car being accompanied by police outriders. The car moved slowly around them before reaching the palace shortly afterward.
