Controversial anti-protest law enforced during King Charles' reign sparks dissent.

Parts of the controversial Public Order Act, which gives British police stronger powers against peaceful protesters, will come into force ahead of King Charles III's coronation. The law targets groups such as Black Lives Matter and Extinction Rebellion, and protest tactics such as locking on could lead to a six-month prison sentence or unlimited fine. Human rights activists accuse the government of suppressing freedom of speech, while opposition politicians claim it's a distraction from other issues. The cost of the coronation is estimated to be between £50 million to over £100 million, with Buckingham Palace saying the true figures will be shared in due course.
