A protester has climbed on top of a train near a power plant in North Yorkshire.

The Axe Drax campaign group said one of its activists 'halted the train', which was carrying wood pellets and heading to Drax Power station in Selby.

Images on social media show the activist, dressed in orange, waving a flag bearing the Extinction Rebellion logo. It comes as the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow draws to an end.

Drax said there had been 'no impact'.
