Dakota pipeline protest

Many of the demonstrators ignored an official deadline on Wednesday to leave their protest camp, and some set fire to makeshift wooden structures.

A federal judge has rejected a request by two Native American tribes for an emergency order blocking the pipeline.

The two tribes say the pipeline creates a risk of water pollution and endangers sites they consider sacred.

President Trump has signed an executive order authorising the Dakota Access Pipeline to proceed.

But are you willing to clear out your bank account to show your opposition to the Dakota Access Pipeline?

Actress Susan Sarandon hopes so. She has launched an online petition that calls on people to tell big banks to stop investing in the company behind the pipeline.
