U.K. Labour Leader Corbyn to Call for National Emergency Vote on Climate Change
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Britain, Labour Party Leader Jeremy Corbyn says he'll force a
parliamentary vote this week on whether to declare a national climate

comes after more than a thousand activists were arrested around London
this month in a wave of nonviolent protests known as "Extinction
Rebellion."
