Reaction from the UN and Turkey to Syria's fatal mortar attack on a Turkish village. Plus the latest from Powys on the search for April Jones.
News from home and abroad with Dotun Adebayo.

23 years after a fatwa was issued calling for his death following the publication of 'The Satanic Verses', Dotun speaks to Salman Rushdie about his latest book - his memoirs 'Joseph Anton'. The title is the pseudonym he had to live under during his years in hiding. In this long interview, the author discusses that time of his life, admitting to feelings of depression and despair.
