> Police said they had used water cannon to disperse activists blocking a major road in the city and arrested “a total of 1,579 people … 40 of whom will be prosecuted” on charges including vandalism.

Climate activists blocked parts of a motorway in The Hague to protest against Dutch fossil fuel subsidies.
More than 1,500 people have been arrested during a demonstration by the Extinction Rebellion climate group in The Hague, Dutch police said.
Several Dutch celebrities were among the protesters, including Carice van Houten, best known for her role as Melisandre in the hit TV series, Game of Thrones.
The Dutch news agency ANP reported that she was arrested but later allowed to return home.
It did not specify if she was among those who would be prosecuted.
