Hs2

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak cancelled part of a high-speed rail project on Wednesday, ending weeks of uncertainty and provoking anger in his own Conservative Party with his move to reinvent his premiership as one of tough decisions and action.

Britain's new high-speed rail line HS2 will get "Europe's fastest trains" that will be built in the country by a Franco-Japanese joint venture, according to a joint statement Thursday.

Climate change activists, including one of the founders of Extinction Rebellion, targeted Britain's transport ministry in central London on Tuesday to protest against a proposed high-speed rail project known as HS2.
