The Commonwealth leads on gender equity, but women still earn $19,000 less on average. Stonehenge spray-painted orange by climate protesters. Follow updates here.
London: Two climate protesters who sprayed orange paint on the ancient Stonehenge monument in southern England were arrested on Wednesday after two bystanders appeared to intervene and stop them. The latest act by Just Stop Oil was quickly condemned by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak as a “disgraceful act of vandalism”. Labour leader Keir Starmer, his main opponent in next month’s election, called the group “pathetic” and said the damage was “outrageous”.
English Heritage, which manages the site, said it was “extremely upsetting” and said curators were investigating the damage. Just Stop Oil said the paint was made of corn starch and would dissolve in the rain. Video released by the group showed a man it identified as Rajan Naidu, 73, unleash a fog of orange from a fire extinguisher-style paint sprayer at one of the vertical stones.
