"This programme contains some strong language." "More of us than ever are angry with society and fed up with a system where capitalism is king." "The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer." "The system is broken." "Many are turning their backs on their freedom to risk police arrest and a stretch behind bars." "Being handcuffed and being in a cell is really scary." "To fight for the issues they passionately believe in." "Don't talk about it right now because of this." "Research fracking, have you got children?" "Do you care about anything?" "I found something way bigger than what I had." "This is the story of four activists who are taking protest to the extreme." "We're occupying it, we're taking it." " And using the tools of a modern revolution..." " Power to the people!" "...to force their way to change." "Shame on all of you." "But what happens when you sacrifice everything for the most important thing of all?" "This is what we're talking about." "It feels pretty good." "Can these lawbreakers really create change by fighting the system?" "And is it worth putting the world to rights by doing wrong?" "Moments like this, they make it so..." "It's just like, you just really feel like you're achieving something and doing something and it's just so exciting." "This programme contains some strong language." "Today, in central London, tens of thousands have gathered to unite in protest for their cause." "THEY CHANT" "One of their ringleaders is 27-year-old Danielle." "For the safe, clean future we want, we have to get rid of dirty fossil fuels!" "My name is Danielle and my cause is climate change." "All right, let's go!" "'How can people who know about this get on with their daily lives?" "'" "How are people not panicking about this as much as I am?" "Danielle is one of a new breed of environmental activists." "Oxbridge educated, highly organised and ready to risk her freedom and future for her cause." "At University, I was really lucky that I was able to study climate change and the science and that was really important for me." "And I met lots of people that helped me question the world that we live in and how people have changed the way it is and I think all of us have gone through that terror moment and have kind of..." "Lain awake, just been like," ""Wow, wow, we have to do something about this."" "Danielle works full-time for an environmental charity and is part of a radical cell of activists who target global energy giants they hold responsible for environmental damage." "The group spend months planning and training for daring and often illegal occupations, to wage their war on climate change." "We can't fight like with like, we don't have huge money, we don't have access to politicians in the way that big companies do." "They use all the tools available to them to make sure they get their way and we need to use the tools available to us." "Their latest target, West Burton Power Station in Nottinghamshire, owned by EDF Energy." "They protest the plan to build 20 stations like it across the country." "At the point that you're on your way and the only feeling, for me, is terror." "Time is going at 100 million miles an hour and there's so much of you that wants to turn around and go home." "The goal for Danielle and 20 fellow activists, to scale and occupy two of the 300-foot high metal chimneys, bringing work to a standstill." "(The power station's just there, I can hear it," "(you can see all the smoke." "(These bags are really heavy." "(My back really hurts.)" "(This is brilliant.)" "The power station is on private land and under 24-hour guard." "We had a real close call, we were waiting in the bush, all of us there, for the signal to go and then one of the security vans turned up and saw us, our hearts sank and we're like, "OK, it's all over, it's all finished."" "And then, we kind of looked at each other and were just like," ""We've worked to long"" ""for this not to work."" "And we just turn round and all just legged it as fast as we could." "This is aggravated trespassing, it carries the risk of arrest and a prison sentence of up to six months." "It's the scariest thing I've ever done." "Took us a while to get to the top." "My overriding memory of it is the wind, it was just so windy." "Once the working chimney was shut down, the goal was to try and occupy it for a whole week, to stop production and make a stand for the environment." "We were just kind of sheltering underneath a tarp, you're just kind of sleeping on this ledge, 300 foot in the air and the wind would pick up and it would be making so much noise that you couldn't hear the person next to you speak." "I've never been to the loo at great height in high winds." "After you've gone through that experience with someone, after you've been through the highs, the lows, the good, the bad, the ugly, that's the kind of friendship that you won't get" "after, you know, 1,500 visits to the pub." "The group managed to last the full week on the chimneys, claiming to stop 20,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions, costing what EDF claimed as £5 million in damage, disruption and loss of revenue." "With their mission accomplished, Danielle and her group finally made their descent into a sea of waiting police." "Being handcuffed and being in a cell is for me, really scary." "Danielle escaped with a suspended sentence for aggravated trespass and 150 hours of community service, and a warning that next time, the law would not be so lenient." "You're aware of the consequences for your career, so making that initial step to be like, "OK, I'm going to"" ""go for it" was actually really hard and quite scary and obviously, my family really didn't like it." "Your dad doesn't talk to you for a week and your mum's hugely distressed and says "But you'll never be a lawyer!"" "And you have to remind her that you were never going to be a lawyer." "Oh, it's up here, right?" "Yeah." "Tonight in London, two sisters who call themselves 'the Animal Police' are also risking a night in the cells." "The shops of Oxford Street are teeming with Christmas shoppers, a perfect target for the sisters latest covert assault." "Today's target is a high street chain selling rabbit fur and the aim of the operation is to hit the big brands where it hurts through their customers." "My name's Phoebe and I'm an animal rights activist." "My name's Jayne and I'm animal liberation." "Two years ago, 23-year-old Phoebe and 33-year-old Jayne found their calling." "We used to go out clubbing every weekend but I guess we found better things to live for." "Yeah, I don't see the point in that any more." "We woke up and we wanted to wake everyone else up." "Because animals are suffering and they need someone to stand up for them." "And it's really cool to stand up for things." "When they aren't out protesting," "Phoebe and Jayne can often be found at Phoebe's flat in North London." "The best thing about coming home is our animals cos they're just lying there and it's like they just understand what we've just been doing and they're like," ""Yeah, girls, welcome home."" ""Another day out protesting."" "And we're like, "Yeah."" "The sisters protest anything they deem exploitative to animals, most of which they research online." " Is that a real lion?" " Yeah, look." "It's not a CGI." "Hang on, there's other animals in the background." "Wait..." "It's using animals for entertainment purposes." "And it's the fact that this is one of the biggest boybands, so they have loads and loads and loads of people watching this." "It's horrible." "Is just completely unnecessary." "Why can't we just leave them alone?" " SOBBING:" " It just upsets me." "Nothing is off-limits for protest and the sisters regularly target businesses using animals for anything, from entertainment to food or fur." "I mean, we're only watching this once for like, what, a minute?" "But this is their entire life and look..." "They're just been thrown around like they're bags of shit." "When you're watching this footage, it's really, really hard." "You just can't stop crying cos obviously it gets to you and when you go out there, yeah, that's when it turns to fire." "Is he police or security?" "He's just security." "I don't think he's even noticed us yet." "We should just sneak in." "'That moment when you're protesting." "'All you see is what you've been watching 'and this is your only moment to get it out.'" "Phoebe and Jayne have vowed to protest until fur is eradicated from the high street." "Hi, did you know that French Connection sell angora rabbit fur?" "The latest brand on their hit list, French Connection, maintained they use rabbit fur ethically and not through the controversial method of plucking the fur from live rabbits." "Did you know that the shop that you work at sells angora rabbit fur?" "No, don't touch my property, don't touch my property." "Get off the, don't touch me, get off me!" "Get off the!" "Don't..." "You just want to stop people from seeing the truth, it's disgusting." "Shame on you." "Shame on you." "Yeah, you can close the door, you're not going to stop it though." "French Connection, animal abusers!" "French Connection, animal abusers!" " Don't give your money to this store." " Shame on you." "Let's get our megaphone." "Shame, shame, shame on French Connection." "We have to do something, if it's not us, then who will it be?" "And if it's not now, when will it be?" "Where is your conscience, where is your guilt?" "For the blood that you have spilled." " Your money." " Your fault." " Your greed." " Your fault." " We live our whole lives by it." " It's in everything we do." " It's our mission in life." " Yeah, it's what we live for." "Change the world, for whatever cause you believe in, go out and do something about it." "Shame, shame, shame on you." "Activism has always been the territory of the young." "From the political radicalisation of the 1960s to protest war and racism, to the feminism and gay rights groundswell of the" "'70s and '80s, spreading out to animal rights and the environment." "The burning political issues for today's young activists, poverty, climate change, inequality, reflect a wider disillusionment with the society where prospects are bleak and capitalism is king." "People don't feel that they want to engage with the current political system because they see that it doesn't work for them, they see that it makes no difference, they see that they're not served." "But it's technology and social media that has changed the way that this generation unites to fight against the powers that be." "Frontline fundamentalists, Phoebe and Jayne, post weekly videos of their protests online to educate their followers about animal welfare." "So, here we are at Zippo Circus, this is one of the last circuses with animals, so we want to try and expose how they're kept and how they're treated and get it stopped completely." "The sisters' activism spreads to anything they deem exploitative, including entertainment." "Have you got any animals in the circus?" "We have." "You know we have, Jayne." "How do you know her name?" "It's all over Facebook now." "Is there any way we could actually see the animals in this circus?" "If you buy a ticket, yeah." " No, we don't want to contribute to that." " Well, there you go then." "Excuse me, why are you taking pictures of us?" "You're not supposed to be in this bit, you're supposed to be outside." " Why won't you let us have a look?" " Why should we?" "What have you got to hide?" " So you'll let us look at..." " You're here, feeding people utter rubbish." " What have we done?" " Saying that they're ill-treated..." " If they're not, why don't you...?" " We've just turned up!" "Why don't you defend yourselves and let us look at what you haven't got to hide?" "Why are you walking away?" "I've got nothing to hide." "As with many of their protests, the result is a visit from the police." "We're not here to stop you doing what you're doing but we do need to advise you of the limits of..." " Can I just ask if you've seen the animals in there?" " Today?" "No." "Can you please go in there and check the animals out because we're not sure if they're actually all right in there or not and they won't let us see the animals inside." "I'm not the route to answer that for you." "Given the job that you have, are you concerned?" " I will not be engaging in that conversation." " Why walk away?" "Why don't you want to talk?" "We're not normal, in terms of how the rest of society is." "We're always going to be seen as different until more and more other people start changing." "I've got some more stickers." "Yeah, I've got these." "During the week, Jayne and Phoebe work as dog walkers but under their Animal Police doctrine, all other time is sacred." " Weekends are for activism, they always are." " Yeah." "So, don't really have time for other things like that." "It doesn't sound quite as much fun." "It's fun, it's fun, just in a different way." "What you're doing is inspiring and you get more out of it than as if you spent your whole night drinking and you forget your night the next day." "'It's hard sometimes, talking to people about the cause that 'you're fighting for and they just don't care.'" "I remember once, in the early stages of activism, going out with my friends after and it just didn't feel right because I was telling them about all the things we'd been getting up to and they just didn't care and I was telling them about the" "lives we were saving and they were just like, "OK, yeah, next drink?"" "On the other side of London, on a council estate in Newham, it is friendship that has brought 27-year-old Sarah to fight for her cause." " Social housing is a right!" " CROWD:" "Here to stay, here to fight!" " Sarah, hah-hah!" " Hello!" " How are you?" " Fancy seeing you here." " How's it going?" " What's going on?" "There's four council flats in this building and they're all perfectly good flats, empty." "It's the same all over." "Carpenters Estate, so we're occupying it, we've taken it." "Yeah!" "A year ago," "University graduate Sarah joined a group of unlikely activists." "Young women she'd grew up with in one of the poorest areas of London, made homeless by a supposed lack of council properties." "Today, they've occupied an empty block of council flats on the." "Carpenters Estate to highlight the issue of social housing and to try to pressure the council into making the properties available to the families who need them." "These flats have been left empty for years, and for years, homeless people being told, "There's no housing for you"" ""and you're going to be moved out of London."" "That's disgusting." "There's no justifying that." "For local girl Sarah, this cause is deeply personal." "Between the ages of about 14 and 15, me and my mum and my younger brother were homeless for about a year." "Waiting to be housed in permanent housing." "That was probably one of the most difficult points in my life, it's really driven me." "I don't want any other child or any person to ever have to go through that." "CHANTING" "The empty flats are now on prime real estate in London's lucrative property market and have been boarded up by the council for several years and deemed uninhabitable." "This is our show flat." "There's nothing wrong with it at all, it's carpeted, it's got wallpaper." "We've got a brand-new kitchen in here." "Brand-new bathroom." "I cannot believe they've been allowed to get away with it for so long." "This is disgusting." "It's a fucking disgrace." "Sarah grew up around the corner from Carpenters, where her mum, Fiona, still lives." "Remember when we were moved to a bed and breakfast in south London?" "Yeah, yeah." "There was hundreds of people in the same place." "Yeah, like, all families in one bedroom." " And then I had to go to school from Southend." " Yeah." "I remember getting home once and they'd chucked you out of the bed" " and breakfast." " They don't think about what that does to your children." " That was horrible, I was walking around." " That was very, very damaging." " It's hard." " It was so unstable, mentally." "If I wasn't doing this, I'd be thinking about all those problems." "If I didn't do something about it, I'd end up feeling quite bitter or quite angry or a bit powerless, so..." "Doing what I do seems like the only option for me." "I don't have an alternative life." "If this occupation is to reverse the fortunes of these residents, they will need to use every trick in the book to pressure the council into action." "Basically, there's housing actually taking place, and I've spoke to Polly Curtis at the Guardian about..." "It's Sarah's job to harness the power of the press as quickly as possible, before her grip is evicted or arrested." "CHANTING" "I've never done media stuff before, so this is terrifying for me." "They're so scary." "There's quite a lot riding on it, really, isn't it?" "CHANTING" "This weekend, in Blackpool, a march is underway to protest plans for fracking, a new and controversial method of drilling for gas." "Environmentalists from all over the country have been mobilised to protest." "I've got my map, I've got my driving licence counterpart because I'll need that to hire a van." "Climate change activist Danielle is using the weekend to stage her latest illegal occupation and after her recent charge for the power station protest, the risk of arrest and prison time is a very real." "Unbelievable, the amount of work that goes into it." "It's been months in the planning." "It's quite nerve-racking." "The worry is that the police have found out where you're going and you'll be stopped." "This time, her target is energy giant Cuadrilla, the company at the forefront of the fracking plans for Lancashire." "Obviously, the location is secret." "I'm not even allowed to tell my boyfriend or my friends, no-one knows." "OK..." "As the weekend's protest gathers momentum, Danielle and her cell of 12 activists have their sights set on a different target." " So, where am I going?" " Just go right, here." "It's just so hard on these things because tensions are running so high and everyone just wants to get there and I worry that we're going to blow our cover before we're ready." "Just outside Blackpool are Cuadrilla's offices, where the goal is to occupy and stoke up a media campaign from within." "Would it be worth these, the two suited ones getting out before?" "Yeah." "Two decoys are sent ahead to their positions to await instruction." "You two, get out now and don't look back at us, we'll be watching you." "Good luck, guys." "Thanks for the lift." "Let's just drive off a few, then let's get out so we don't run into that security guard immediately." "For Danielle, the stakes are higher than ever." "After receiving a suspended sentence for her last occupation, if she's caught, she could face up to six months in prison." "Just go right, here." "It's personally..." "The worst case scenario, is ending up in a cell." "Erm, that would be worst case." "Danielle's job is to orchestrate the team to infiltrate Cuadrilla's office before storming the building, without knowing who or what they will encounter." "Our two front people have set off and they're looking really smart, they're going to try and get in as businesspeople who just want to chat." "They just hold the door open and then as soon as we get the signal, we're just going to leg it and see if we can get in after them." "But the decoy's cover has been blown." "Shit." "They've been intercepted." "The interesting complication is that there's now a police officer." "Fuck." "With the police momentarily occupied, it's now or never." "Get going." "Easy, no violence, no violence." "Get him out, let him get out." "Once inside, a Cuadrilla employee is ushered out to avoid any claim of false imprisonment." "The first call Danielle makes is to her lawyer for advice on the group's rights if they're arrested." "Hi, this is the office occupation team." " Just to let you know that we're occupying an office." " RTP, in!" "Hang on, hang on..." "Guys, if we lock ourselves to things or we lock the doors, either way the same potential offence is aggravated trespass." "'I never really thought that I would be a kind of person 'that got arrested." "I'm kind of...'" "I'm actually really nonconfrontational as a person but I kind of got to the point where I felt so strongly about this issue I was prepared to take that risk." "I don't think as much about my career as I maybe should do." "If someone doesn't employ me because I've got a criminal record for, you know, climate change activism, then quite frankly, I don't want to be employed by them." "An hour into the occupation and the police have called in backup but so has Danielle." "The protest has gone viral and the media coverage she was hoping for has started to grow." "Fellow activists arrive on the scene to support the occupation and potentially provide Danielle with a smokescreen for escape." "Now, the reality of coming out and going straight into a police cell is quite real." "Yeah, I mean, let's see if we get away with it." "But for another young activist, the media itself has become the target." "I'm Yas and I'm a feminist." "18-year-old Yas is on a mission to eradicate sexism from the media, starting with Page Three of The Sun." "Good morning, mischief-makers, there is double security here at Sun HQ and only one way in, I'll keep you updated throughout the day." "If you'd like to stop receiving updates at any point, text "Murdoch's a monkey" to this number." "See you on the ground, agents." "So fun." "Today, Yas is hoping to spring a surprise protest on the world's biggest media mogul." "We've had news from a secret source, somebody who's been asked to be kept anonymous, we're waiting for Rupert Murdoch to go into Sun HQ." "I got here for 7am this morning, I didn't sleep." "It was really last minute, we just found out yesterday, so everybody's been, like, frantically rushing to try and organise something." "There are some things which you just won't get another chance to do, so you've just got to seize the moment." "Be afraid, Murdoch, be very afraid." "Yas joined the war to end Page Three two years ago at the tender age of 16." "Hi, my name is Yas Necati and" "I'm a 16-year-old student activist and blogger from North London." "I'm here today to celebrate the birthday of the No More Page Three campaign because we're turning one, so happy birthday, everybody!" "Yas' fledgling protest began with attempts to infiltrate." "Sun HQ to protest against what Page Three meant to her." "I'm a bit scared that my Vans might give me away." "This boy brought a copy of The Sun into school." "In a classroom, he was intimidating the girls, you know, comparing their bodies to the models and just being really, really rude and I got into an argument with him and that's the first time it registered that this page was a really horrible," "horrible symbol of institutionalised sexism." "Whoo!" "It was a lightbulb moment and there's no going back." "But fighting for her cause hasn't always been easy." "It's really hard to be a feminist in secondary school, you know?" "I got called all sorts of names and had all sorts of things shouted at me on the way home." "It was really quite unpleasant but I got through it, you know?" "Now 18, Yas has become a power player in the No More Page Three campaign, which she helps run from her bedroom in North London." "Campaigning has definitely given me a purpose in life." "I think teen years are really hard because you're trying to figure out who you are and I was really lucky that I came across feminism because I was so confused and then suddenly I felt like I finally fit somewhere." "The campaign has now gathered more than 200,000 signatures in support of ending Page Three." "Social media is amazing, it's, like, the core of a lot of the campaigning that I do." "Online petitions or organising protests and a lot of them are done through Facebook groups." "It's also a good way for Yas to track her favourite target." "Rupert Murdoch, he is completely non-responsive to us on Twitter and all sorts." "Rupert Murdoch doesn't want to talk because he thinks that he's too good to talk, so it's up to us to try and get to him in another way but there's no other way to get to the Sun than to annoy them." "An hour outside of today's protest at Sun HQ and so far, there's been no sign of the target." "So, basically, when Murdoch gets out that car, the idea is that people will be trying to take pictures of him, so my job is to get in the background of the photos with my." "No More Page Three T-shirt, which I'm hiding from security." "Police officers on the way." "This is what we're talking about." "Oh, it's security." "Oh, my gosh, there's ten of them." "Oh, this is exciting!" "Might just walk closer towards the building." "See what we can do." "Oh, my gosh, is that him?" "Shit, did we just miss him?" " I think we might have, you know." " Aww." "That was incredible." "He just walked in, that was it, it was over." "That is a weird..." "It's just because of that car, I never thought that would be his car." "Yeah." "In Central London, some 200 people have gathered for a charity fun run to raise money for their cause, the British Heart Foundation." "But Jayne and Phoebe's activism knows no bounds, and they see this event as a perfect place to protest for theirs." "I mean, are you worried that anyone's going to take it badly?" "Well, we know that a lot of the runners have been training for quite a few months that do this, so there could be some quite big reactions to us." "I imagine they'd be a bit pissed off because they don't really know what's happening with the experiments on animals." "They don't know about that side, but we're there to tell them." "We've got to find these dog people." "The charity does the majority of its medical research testing using cells grown in a lab, computer models and human volunteers." "We need to talk to these dogs." "However, it does a very small amount of testing on dogs. 0.3%." "Boycott British Heart Foundation!" "They experiment on animals!" "But no amount is acceptable to Phoebe and Jayne." "Animals like dogs." "What about the animals?" "Shame on British Heart Foundation!" "What do people say when you say you're boycotting a charity?" "It is not always the best reaction." "12,000 animals are dead already because of pointless experiments." "Because people love this idea that a charity is something really good and the only do good things." "If you give your money to British Heart Foundation, you are funding experiments on animals..." "You're either on the right side of change or you're on the wrong side change." "It's as simple as that." "Shame on you!" "Shame on British Heart Foundation." "Shame... shame on British Heart Foundation." "Shame on British Heart Foundation." "Shame on you, shame on all of you, especially if you have a pet dog." "This is what you're funding for." "This is what you are running for." "Shame on all of you." "They kill them, they give them heart attacks on purpose." " They watch them die." " Disgusting, shame on all of you." "You back off." "Back off!" "Your mummy should have washed your mouth out with water." "It's so sad, there are dogs running here today with these people." "They could be used in experiments, too." "Most people don't even know what kind of a charity they're supporting." "There are dogs dying right now because of this." "You don't think you're going to get as affected by it as you do." "I never expect to cry, but I usually do end up crying." " The police are over there, look." " Oh, yeah." "We had a lucky escape." " TANNOY:" " So we apologise for any protest today." " Can you hear that?" " Apologising for protests." "How about you apologise for all the lives that you've taken?" " Yeah." " We will never apologise for what we are doing." " Not ever." " Ever." "Why would we?" "Because we know it's the right thing to do." "...to put an end to suffering." "BOTH:" "An end to suffering!" "OK?" "Ready?" "Next." "'It feels empowering and you feel responsible.'" "You feel like the chosen one." " We say that a lot, don't we?" " Mmm." "Special ones." " Do you ever worry that you're wrong?" " No." "How could we be wrong?" "Pretty good, thanks." "Very good." "In Blackpool at the offices of energy giant Cuadrilla, it's been two hours since Danielle and 11 other activists barricaded themselves inside to protest fracking." "Media coverage has grown, giving Danielle the platform she was hoping for." "Can you explain the idea behind this action?" "So we are occupying the North West headquarters of Cuadrilla in a protest against the company and their fracking practices." "So we are here today just to be a thorn in their side and to show them this huge resistance to what they are doing, and they've just got to go." "Thanks to a social media campaign waged from inside the building, supporters have grown outside... but so have the numbers of police." "The risk of arrest for aggravated trespass is very real but Danielle has a plan." "So we've got nine people to secrete out the windows and we need your help getting them out." "Intel from outside alerts the group that the police are planning to storm the building." "Protesters outside are instructed to ramp up their demonstration at the front of the office to capture the attention of the police." "Plods around. 'The stakes are so high.'" "So there's always this kind of big building of stress and tension and fear." "OK, I'll start lining people up here." "Is it going to work?" "Isn't it going to work?" "Are we going to get caught?" "Are we not?" " Looks like they've made the plan, yeah." " Yeah, I'd get out now." "OK, keep going, keep going." "Come on, secreters, keep going, keep going." "There's a huge amount of adrenaline." "Easy, keep it easy." "Well done." "Well done, everyone." "Well done, everybody." "Whoo!" "Feels pretty good." "After three hours inside under the noses of the law, the group make their escape." "Let's just keep cool." "Don't come this way." "The trick now is to blend in with the other protesters." "MUSIC:" "Groove Is In The Heart by Deee-Lite." "Yeah, we did it." "Danielle's successful day at the office has managed to make fracking front page news." "This is my, like, absolute favourite... favourite bit of the day, though." "When you go back and everyone's got back from an action and they're all just like... euphoric with, like, the adrenaline and it's so exciting." "And we seem to have got away with it." "I love it when that happens, I love it when that happens." "In Newham, it's day five of the Carpenters Estate occupation." "Hiya." "This is just notes from people from around London." "Messages of solidarity for what's happening here, which is really nice, so they've got this across here." "Sarah has been put in charge of raising media interest to protest for social housing for the local community where she grew up." "I don't really know many other groups of friends who try this hard to support each other and especially in London, not that many people my age feel like they are part of a community." "I think ordinary people are starting to fight back, starting to organise a little bit more." "That is basically what taking direct action is, is making yourself absolutely impossible for them to ignore you until they start listening and things start changing." "So far, Sarah has used every channel available to pressure the council into action and it looks like it's starting to work." "What's so interesting about this campaign is that it touches on so many issues, from shortage of housing to rocketing rents and a young population that feel that they may never get on the housing ladder." "And that's perhaps why what started as a protest by mothers has become something much bigger." "Hello, I'm Russell Brand, This is The Trews." "I'm on the way to the Carpenters Estate in Newham that has been occupied by a group of women that have been made homeless by the council and have decided to occupy an empty, unused property." "With a weekly YouTube news show that regularly reaches over 100,000 and serious media pulling power, bringing Russell Brand on board is a major coup."

"Because remember when you talk to people in charge, they go," ""Oh," you know, like, "we're doing this for economic reasons," ""we can't be wasteful," but this is, like, this is wasteful." " The police have arrived." "Let's go and have a look." " Keep it shut." "Just leave it for now." "Basically, this campaign has made me feel so brave." "I don't care if the police came or if the bailiffs come, we've never felt so brave, because we've been standing side-by-side." " Look at what they've done!" " They've done so well."

"Backup has finally arrived from fellow." "No More Page Three campaigners." "There's, like, police men with Tasers walking around and people in black suits and everything."

"He's short, he might even be the same height as me, that's seriously how short." " And he's got a really horrible face." " And he sort of walks like this..." "For Yas, becoming the voice of the No More Page Three campaign has brought plenty of positives, but it's also made her a target."

"So, you know... 17 pints on a Friday and every day, all the trimmings - black pudding, you know, sausage, everything, bacon, you know, the whole lot." " We are proud of how he's changing already, though." " Yeah." " INTERVIEWER:" " When did you turn?" "A few years ago?" " Yeah." "How many years has it been, then?" "It's been, like, just over two years." "As soon as you become vegan, everything becomes different." "The way you're, like," " looking at the world..." " You question everything."

"They're saying we're not allowed to be writing stuff on their property, so we're just doing it on the pavement instead." " So people are still going to see it." " INTERVIEWER:" " What are you writing?" "We are writing things that everyone deserves to know." "You know you can't actually cover up murder." "You can take away the chalk, but you can't take away the writing." " You've got quite a confrontational style, haven't you?" " Do you think?" "It's not your property, just like animals are not your property either." "We are loud but, you know, there's a reason why we're loud." " People need to hear." " Yeah."

"We've had nothing but positivity from the people around the area, the media attention has been amazing..." "Newham ultimately are finding it extremely hard to justify themselves."

"Huge, huge victory for everybody who has campaigned against page three across the years and we are all really excited, really happy." "It's just absolutely incredible." "It hasn't really sunk in yet, like you know, just..." "Yeah, I think all of us as, you know, as a campaign, we're all just, kind of like, can't really believe this is happening." "Twitter has been absolutely hectic." "We are getting literally 100 notifications a minute, it's just absolutely... just astonishing." "So many thousands of women have been fighting for this for so long and the fact that people standing up and saying," ""Actually, "we don't really agree with this,"" "has caused them to change their minds I'm just so thrilled."

"Oh, look at that!" "Whoo!" "♪ No more page three... ♪" "Just one day after Yas celebrated victory with the end of page three," "The Sun began to print it again." "For Yas, the fight is well and truly back on." "I keep saying this, but we do really need to chain ourselves to Sun HQ." " Yay!" " Maybe not today but, yeah, refuse to move." " What do we want?" " No more page three!" " When do we want it?" " Now!" "Even if nothing changes, which it will, but even if it doesn't, it's, like, at least you know that you spent your whole life trying to do the right thing rather than just being complacent" "and not doing anything at all." "What do we want?" "No fracking!" "When do we want it?" "Now!" "Danielle continues to devote her life to fighting climate change regardless of the personal cost..."
