Climate change protest halts Barclays AGM

According to reports, the bank's chairman was forced to halt the meeting as security was called in.

The AGM was held yesterday at Manchester Central convention complex in the city centre.

Environmental activist group Extinction Rebellion said later its members, and those of its sister movement Money Rebellion were behind the disruption, which it added was launched to demand banks to stop financing fossil fuels.

Similar disruptions were also held at Standard Chartered PLC's AGM held in London yesterday, the group said.

Video footage of the Barclays meeting shows shouting and heckling, with security officers called to attend and requests for people to be taken from the building.
