Iceland: UK damaged our banks

The UK and Icelandic governments fail to reach a deal over safeguarding customers' deposits. John Sparks reports.

But it's unclear if the British government will be reimbursed for compensating savers who had money in the collapsed banks.
And the Icelandic government is now blaming Britain for damaging its banking system.
