From AFP News Agency.
A 29-year-old man who scaled London’s Big Ben on 8 March, and spent the day perched on the historic clock tower with a Palestinian flag, has been charged with intentionally or recklessly causing a public nuisance and trespassing on a protected site, Metropolitan Police said. He is due to appear in court today. London’s Metropolitan Police force, which was first alerted to the climber around 7am GMT, said the man who was identified as Daniel Day was arrested after the "protracted incident". The man spent more than 16 hours on a ledge several metres up the landmark, even as emergency crews urged him to come down from the Elizabeth Tower in central London, more commonly known for its clock bell, Big Ben.
