Emma Thompson speaks at XR

Oxford Circus, London. Fri 19 Apr 2019



 People sit around the Berta Cáceres to protect it from the police

 Only a small number of people can be on the yacht at one time - and someone makes an announcement about

 the start of the day's activities shortly

 close to the boat someone sings

 and an induction session is taking place in a nearby tent

 One of the Christian XR members sits with others

 to protect the Berta Cáceres

 

 On one side of the boat is the message 'Tell the Truth'

 and on the other are banners 'System Change Not Climate Change' and, part covered, 'Rebel For Life

 

 

 Emma Thompson arrives and talks with some of the protesters

 and shows off her 'There is no planet B' bag

 The singers are performing on the boat, and Emma Thompson has to wait for them to finish and come down

 

 

 

 

 After they have come down she climbs the ladder up into the Berta Cáceres

 and speaks

 People listen and photograph her

 

 after her speech she raises her fist in a salute

 

 Later she talks to a TV crew
