Climate change campaigners have taken to the streets of Cardiff today calling for the Welsh Government to "tell the truth about climate change".

The Extinction Rebellion group has called on the government to declare a Climate Emergency.

The Welsh Government says it recognises the 'urgency' needed to tackle the problem and says it will soon be publishing a low carbon delivery plan.
