LONDON, Oct. 11 (Xinhua) -- Environmental campaign group Extinction Rebellion is launching a fifth day of protests across London, calling for urgent action to tackle climate change and wildlife losses.

Hundreds of people have been arrested since the protests began on Monday.

On Monday, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson labelled the group of environmental protesters "uncooperative crusties", and urged London police to use the "full force of the law" against them.
