London: Activists glued to building
LONDON --A group of environmental activists protesting the airline industry's effect on the world's climate glued themselves to the door of a government building Friday.

Police said about six people glued their hands to the door of the Department for Transport in central London, while several more chained themselves to doors and two climbed onto a roof.

Ten people were arrested on suspicion of aggravated trespass or criminal damage, the Metropolitan Police said.

Hundreds of activists are holding a weeklong "climate camp" at London's Heathrow Airport to oppose a proposed new runway and highlight what scientists say is air travel's damage to the environment.
