Thousands Protest as Boris Johnson Begins Term as British Prime Minister
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Johnson's first day as prime minister was marked by massive street
protests. Thousands marched through Central London despite a scorching
heat wave, and activists from Greenpeace briefly blocked the new prime
minister from reaching Buckingham Palace to meet with the queen, by
forming a human chain in the path of his motorcade. The demonstration
was quickly dispersed by police. Later in the broadcast, we'll go to
London to speak with Ash Sarkar, who was in the streets at yesterday's
protests.
