Far right in Czech Republic: the politicians turning on Roma

Foreign Affairs Correspondent

In the city of Most, just north of Prague, some local parties are advocating building a separate area for Roma people and using slogans which hark back to Nazi-style propaganda. A warning: this film contains views which many will find offensive.
