Homeless protesters who've been camping out in Manchester's St Peter's Square go to the High Court later, to fight an eviction notice. The campaigners were originally in the nearby Albert Square - but were evicted from there two weeks ago. Hear from one of the protestors Joanne who has no-where to live - and normally sleeps on the street. She says the protest has been worth it. Manchester City Council say: "The conduct of some members of this camp has been entirely inappropriate - in a public area used by families. Members of the camp have daubed offensive graffiti on the Town Hall Extension. There's also been public urination, street drinking, litter and loud music being played". Jonathan Ali reports for BBC Radio Manchester.
