Authorities in London removed two climate change <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/australia-pledges-14-billion-injection-against-climate-change-199565">activists sitting on the roof of a train</a> and another glued to the window to pressure politicians to take more radical measures to protect the environment.

Police officers used harnesses and ropes to bring down the man and woman sat on top of the Docklands Light Railway train at Canary Wharf station.

Mark Ovland, another protester from Bristol used superglue to attach himself to the window of the same train and was also physically removed by authorities.

The group has been&nbsp;demanding the government declare a climate and ecological emergency, reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2025 and create a citizen's assembly of members of the public to lead on decisions to address climate change.

Several young and old, were arrested and dragged down Oxford Circus on Wednesday as their protest blockade continued for the third day today.

The Extinction Rebellion group has ratcheted up its protests in recent weeks, blocking Marble Arch, Oxford Circus and Waterloo Bridge, smashing a door at the Shell building and shocking lawmakers with a semi-nude protest in parliament.

Nearly 300 people have been arrested so far this week after campaigners blocked some of the capital's most iconic locations, many camping in tents on the streets.

The group advocates non-violent civil disobedience to force governments to reduce carbon emissions and avert what it says is a global climate crisis that will bring starvation, floods, wildfires and social collapse.

Authorities clamp down on climate change protesters in London

London City Airport was due to reopen on Tuesday after the removal of a World War II bomb which had been discovered close to the runway.

The 500-kilogramme (1,100-pound) German bomb was found early on Sunday morning in King George V Dock, during planned works close to London`s most central airport.

As bomb disposal experts from the police and Royal Navy worked to move the unexploded ordnance, the airport was shut down and two successive exclusion zones imposed.

London City Airport chief executive Robert Sinclair announced flights would resume on Tuesday after the bomb was successfully removed from the dock.&nbsp;

&quot;The exclusion zone has now been lifted and the airport will be open as normal on Tuesday,&quot; he said in a midnight (0000 GMT) statement.

&quot;To everyone who has been affected -- whether you were due to fly on Monday, were evacuated from your home or had your commute to work disrupted by the DLR (Docklands Light Railway) closure -- thank you for your patience and understanding,&quot; Sinclair added.

Monday`s shutdown affected up to 16,000 passengers who were due to fly from London`s fifth-biggest airport, although some airlines switched their flights to the city`s other hubs.

London City Airport opened in 1987 in the disused docklands. It handled 4.5 million passengers in 2017 and is mainly used by business travellers.

The bomb disposal operation initially saw the evacuation of up to 500 residents, who were allowed to return to their homes on Monday evening while others were evacuated from another area after the 1.5-metre (five-foot) shell was moved within the dock.&nbsp;

The Newham Council local authority established a rest centre and asked residents to stay with family or friends if possible.&nbsp;

Removal of the fused device had depended on the tides, which left authorities waiting until around midnight before they could transport the bomb further along the River Thames to be safely dealt with.

Jonny Campbell, the naval officer in charge of the bomb disposal divers, said the ordnance would be towed along the river after being removed from the sea bed.

&quot;We will then attach high-grade military explosives before carrying out a controlled explosion,&quot; he added.

London was heavily bombed during the &quot;Blitz&quot;, the Nazi German air attacks of September 1940 to May 1941.
