Eleven people have been arrested in climate protests which targeted two oil sites in Scotland
Police liaison officers speak to protesters from This Is Rigged at the Grangemouth oil refinery in Scotland.
Police attended demonstrations on Wednesday by activists from the This is Rigged group at the Ineos refinery in Grangemouth, Fife, and at the Nustar Clydebank oil terminal in West Dunbartonshire. The demonstrators claimed to have stopped oil leaving the sites after sitting on pipes and on top of a tanker.
The campaign group posted on Twitter:"Grangemouth supplies 90% of Scotland's oil. We have stopped oil leaving this site, as well as Nustar Terminal in Clydebank. We have no plans to stop. "Groups of people are currently occupying pipework and a fuel silo and blockading terminal gates, while another group has immobilised a car park full of tankers at the Grangemouth facility."The action is the first in a sustained series of actions, in which the group has vowed to shut down the Scottish oil industry."
