Presented by Gavin Esler



Is it getting more difficult for the government to control protests?

In recent weeks we have seen violence on the streets and sit-ins in colleges over tuition fees. High street stores have been invaded over tax avoidance and online businesses targeted by "hacktivists" in support of Wikileaks.

Tonight, we examine the changing nature of protest and the role technology is playing, with Paul Mason looking at what is happening on the streets and Susan Watts turning to the cyber world.

Plus in the studio we will be hearing from direct action group Ukuncut.

Also we ask what will be the legacy of veteran US diplomat Richard Holbrooke who has died at the age of 69. What impact did he have on international peace and security, and how will his passing affect the Obama administration?

Plus, we catch up with the residents of Hartcliffe in Bristol as they prepare for Christmas and have an interview with the youngest and last surviving of the six noted Mitford sisters, Deborah Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire.
