A man climbs onto the BBC Broadcasting House in protest against a controversial statue

Matt said officers were called at 4.15am to reports that a man had climbed onto the scaffolding at the front of the building and was hitting the Prospero and Ariel statue with a hammer.

The statue, carved by Eric Gill, has been on display since 1933, but campaigners have called for it to be removed because the sculptor recorded in his diaries that he sexually abused his daughters.
