Rupert Murdoch's British papers delayed as climate protesters stop the presses
The distribution of several British newspapers was disrupted on Saturday after Extinction Rebellion climate change activists blockaded printing presses used by Rupert Murdoch's News UK, the publisher of The Times and The Sun.

The group said late on Friday that nearly 80 people had blocked roads leading to two printworks, at Broxbourne in Hertfordshire, north east of London, and at Knowsley, near Liverpool. The protests continued through to Saturday.
Hertfordshire police said they had made 13 arrests.
The Murdoch-owned Newsprinters works also print the Daily Mail, the Daily Telegraph and the Financial Times.
