> Swedish climate academic Andreas Malm condemned the UK government for revoking his electronic travel authorisation, saying he had been given no explanation. He speculated that the ban may be linked to a planned London appearance with Huda Ammori, co-founder of Palestine Action, and said he would join the event by video link.
