Squatters fight for homes

Squatters who have been living in south London for nearly 30 years are fighting to keep their homes.

Up to 150 people live in properties on St Agnes Place, Kennington, which includes the headquarters of the Rastafarian community.

But Lambeth Council now wants to reclaim the properties to turn them into social housing.

The squatters have been threatened with legal action but say they are prepared to use "direct action" to defend their homes.
