Public order bill to be amended to protect journalists covering protests

Suella Braverman will propose changes after arrests of reporters at a Just Stop Oil demonstration

Journalists are to get an extra protection from being arrested at protests after a campaign following the the detention of a reporter and photographers at a Just Stop Oil demonstration last year.

Suella Braverman, the home secretary, will introduce an amendment to the public order bill, after peers had voted through a change to stop those reporting on protests from being subject to police action.
