A protest against carbon emissions and a 23 billion pound plan to add a third runway to London's Heathrow airport cancels at least 13 flights. Gavino Garay reports.
Britain's Supreme Court rules that Europe's busiest airport Heathrow can build a third runway, overturning a legal decision to block the plan on environmental grounds.
