Iraqi inquiry sees video of abuse

A video of a British soldier screaming abuse at hooded prisoners in Iraq has been played at a public inquiry into the death of an Iraqi civilian.

Baha Mousa, 26, died after his arrest at a Basra hotel.

The film showed Cpl Donald Payne, who was jailed for inhumane treatment in 2007, swearing at prisoners forced to hold "stress positions".

Caroline Hawley reports.
