Two major protests are under way in London amid a huge £4.5 million police operation.

Armoured vehicles, police horses, dogs, drones and helicopters have been deployed along with around 4,000 officers on duty as the Met aims to avoid clashes between Tommy Robinson’s Unite the Kingdom march and the pro-Palestine Nakba Day rally.
