A man has been arrested after scaling Big Ben's Elizabeth Tower at the Palace of Westminster in central London. Emergency services were called at 07:24 GMT on Saturday to reports of a protester who had climbed up the tower holding a Palestinian flag. The barefoot man reached a ledge several metres up the tower and refused to leave.

The man scaled the U.K. building on March 8 and refused to come down, putting traffic in the area at a standstill and prompting negotiators to reach him via crane
