Insulate Britain protesters blocked major roads connecting to the M25 despite a new court injunction. Kent Police arrested 32 protesters after they targeted two roads near Dartford, including a slip-road for junction 1a of the M25 and the A206 at Crossways Boulevard. Some of the activists glued themselves to the road surface, causing traffic to back up. Insulate Britain said in a statement it was “not concerned with endless injunctions”. . 📷 PA Media . . . #insulatebritain #protest #climate #insulate #dartford #kent #kentpolice #m25 #injunction #protesters #activists

Heavy rain and strong winds overnight have led to flooding of homes and businesses, and the closure of roads and rail lines across the South East. Knockholt in Kent had the highest rainfall figures in the country. The M23 was closed in both directions between Crawley and Pease Pottage (junctions 10 and 11) but has reopened. No trains are running between Crowborough and Uckfield, and through Greenhithe following landslides. A low-pressure system named Storm Aurore moved in from France, bringing heavy rain and 45mph winds in the worst affected areas. #stormaurora #weather #bbcsoutheast #knockholt #m23 #crawley #crowborough #westsussexfireandrescueservice #eastsussexfireandrescueservice #metoffice #flood #flooding #storm 📸 Sue Marsh, Eddie Mitchell

Little Amal - who stands 3.5m high – arrived in the UK as part of an initiative to raise awareness of the problems faced by young migrants. She was constructed by the Handspring Puppet Company, which previously made the equine stars of the stage version of War Horse. Little Amal, whose name means "hope" in Arabic, started her 5,000km journey in Gaziantep, Turkey on 27 July and has travelled across Greece, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium and France. 📸 PA News #littleamal #amal #warhorse #handspringpuppetcompany #folkestone #kent #bbcsoutheast #refugee

Private firms have been called in to remove piles of rubbish built up during Brighton's ongoing bin strike. Mountains of waste have accumulated around the city for almost two weeks amid attempts to end the dispute. Brighton & Hove City Council said it had only called in third parties as blocked pavements and vermin became a "growing and serious" health issue. It is hoped crunch talks on Sunday will bring an immediate suspension of strike action. . . . #brighton #hove #brightonbins #brightonstrike #strike #binstrike #industrialaction #sussex #brightonandhovecitycouncil
