The Waco siege 15 years on - extended

It is over 15 years since the Waco siege, a 51-day stand off centred on a religious cult called the Branch Davidians and its leader David Koresh. The botched raid by federal officials, looking for illegal firearms, ended in a huge fire. During the whole episode, more than 80 people lost their lives. One of the Branch Davidians who survived was a British man from Nottingham. Reporter Jon Manel speaks, in an extended interview, to the man who, after spending more than 14 years in prison, has returned to the UK.
