Dozens of protestors are injured after violent clashes with police on the proposed route of the Dakota Access pipeline. We hear from native American and tribal rights lawyer Tara Houska who says the huge pipeline, which would transport oil from North Dakota to Illinois, would destroy ancestral sites and potentially contaminate their drinking water. Plus, what might president-elect Donald Trump's business links to the company behind the project mean for its future?
