25:02Now PlayingIn the centre of Albania's capital, Tirana, thousands have been taking to the streets.
The targets of the protests are not just the government, but also Donald’s Trump daughter, Ivanka, and her husband, Jared Kushner.
The pair have been working on a new multi-billion dollar luxury tourism project that will see part of Albania’s unspoiled coast turned into luxury hotels and villas, sparking what some have dubbed the, 'Flamingo Revolution’', due to risk to the local flamingo population.
We speak to Emily Wither, the reporter behind the BBC documentary, 'Albania: Land, Money and Sea', about how a stretch of Albanian coastline has become the latest battleground in the Trump family's global business ambitions.
