LONDON, April 15 (Reuters) - The start of the annual Grand National horse race was briefly delayed on Saturday after a large group of animal rights protesters forced their way into the Aintree grounds to disrupt one of the highest-profile sporting events in Britain. Police said they had arrested 118 people on suspicion of offences including criminal damage and causing public nuisance after protesters sought to scale the perimeter fence and access the track to prevent the 40 horses from starting the race. Officers were seen pinning some protesters in pink tops to the ground while others were pulled from ladders. "Just after 5pm a large number of protesters attempted to gain entry to the course," Assistant Chief Constable Paul White said. Animal rights protesters say the Grand National exploits animals for entertainment and can lead to the death of horses.

And it is possible an agreement will somehow be struck before the work stoppage goes into effect. But NewsGuild spokesperson Wen Zhuang said there are no more planned sessions on the schedule, which would make it far more difficult to hammer out a last-minute agreement. And as Vanity Fair’s Charlotte Klein reported Tuesday, management is also working to find content to fill the paper during the day of work stoppage.
