Ten activists arrested after Greenpeace demo on Forth Road Bridge ends
Ten protestors have been arrested at the end of a demonstration which saw them suspend themselves from a bridge in a bid to halt a tanker carrying fracked gas. The Forth Road Bridge outside of Edinburgh was closed on Friday after the Greenpeace activists suspended themselves from the structure in order to block the tanker, which was headed for the Ineos petrochemical plant at nearby Grangemouth. Police Scotland said it had been alerted to the protest shortly after 1pm on Friday. That was after the group suspended themselves from the bridge using ropes, ending up about 25 metres above the water level at high tide. On Saturday morning Greenpeace announced it had ended the demonstration, saying they had 'achieved what we set out to'. The campaign group said its demonstration had prevented the Ineos tanker from delivering the gas for a full 24 hours, as the vessel could only travel to Grangemouth during high tides. As a result the specially trained activists began climbing down their ropes early on Saturday morning. Greenpeace said all 10 had descended safely and were voluntarily transported to Port Edgar in South Queensferry, where it said they were arrested by officers from Police Scotland on suspicion of culpable and reckless conduct. Police Scotland confirmed that five men aged between 35 and 40, and five women, aged between 25 and 42, had been arrested. The force added that further inquiries were ongoing, and that the Forth Road Bridge remained closed to traffic as of Saturday morning. After the demonstration ended Amy Cameron, programme director at Greenpeace UK said: 'We've achieved what we set out to. 'By blocking Ineos, we've drawn global attention to the company's bottomless appetite for plastic production, false solutions and profit for its billionaire boss Jim Ratcliffe.' Describing the 'plastic pollution problem' as being 'massive', she added: 'Less than 10% of plastic is currently recycled globally, and this is set to rise to just 17% by 2060, while the amount of plastic we're producing is set to triple. 'The only solution is to address the problem at source which means securing a strong global plastics treaty that imposes legally-binding caps on plastic production.' Ms Cameron continued: 'Ineos are cutting jobs at Grangemouth while trying to open a massive new plastics plant in Belgium, leaving Scottish workers high and dry. 'If Jim Ratcliffe really cared about skilled jobs in Scotland he'd invest his billions in supporting his workers to transition into the green industries of the future, instead of throwing money at Formula 1 racing teams and football clubs.' Greenpeace insists its protest was safe and caused 'minimal disruption' – stressing that the climbers had spent weeks training for the demonstration, also pointing out that the Forth Road Bridge carries low volumes of bus, cycle and pedestrian traffic.

Mama June Shannon admitted to hospital
Mama June Shannon was admitted to hospital, just hours after a psychic warned her about health issues. The 45-year-old reality TV star met with a psychic during her daughter Jessica Shannon's bachelorette party, who told her she was carrying a lot of stress and "may have a heart attack" because of it. Hours later she found herself in severe pain and her husband Justin Stroud insisted she go to hospital because of the psychic's warnings. In scenes from Mama June: Family Crisis, she can be heard saying: 'It is way worse than it has ever been.' Doctors in the emergency room "determined that ovarian cysts are causing her severe pain" and June is now 'considering her treatment options'. June has suffered a number of health issues in recent years, revealing last month that along with having to undergo a total hysterectomy, she had other ongoing ailments. She told 'I am still dealing with the medical issues, and I don't want to go public with those until we find out where we are and what the treatment is going to be. 'So, the only thing that I've came public with is a hysterectomy, not the other health issues.' June is also sober following her public battle with addiction five years ago. She said: 'I'd say I'm five and a half straight, sober. No cigarettes, no alcohol, no nothing. You know, I don't even think about who that person was.'
