Protesters held over Parliament trespass
Three people have been arrested for trespass during a protest against Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper's visit to Parliament.
Campaigners against "tar sands" say they got onto the roof to interrupt his speech to the Lords.
Shortly before he started speaking at 1200, the doors slammed shut on the robing room and shouting was heard.

Campaigners want the UK government to support EU moves to label tar sands as more polluting than conventional oil and discourage its future import.
