Many die in Turkey wedding attack

At least 44 people have been killed in an attack on a wedding party in south-eastern Turkey.

Attackers armed with bombs and automatic weapons stormed the wedding in a village near the city of Mardin.

The Turkish Government say it may have been part of a long-running feud between two local families. Eight people have been arrested.

Mike Wooldridge reports.
