South Sudan gang rape - the UN responds

The UN's special representative in South Sudan, David Shearer, has responded to reports of brutal sexual assaults on women in the Bentiu area, late last week. He told Newsday's James Copnall it seemed there was a rogue group preying on women, who need to be brought to justice. Mr Shearer said the UN had urged the government to make sure its soldiers were under control.
