Salmond 'brokering' end of Iran death penalty

The former Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond says he has been trying to broker a deal with Iran, that could see the end of the country's death penalty.

Mr Salmond - now the Scottish National Party's foreign affairs spokesman - raised concerns about human rights with Iran's foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, during an official visit to Tehran.

Razia Iqbal asked him how Mr Zarif responded.
