New York terror suspect Sayfullo Saipov defended by mother

The mother of the man accused of killing eight people in a terror attack in New York has said she believes her son is innocent.

The BBC's Will Vernon tracked her down in Uzbekistan, the country that was home to terror suspect Sayfullo Saipov until 2010 when he moved to the US.

It's the first time the BBC has been allowed to report from the country in over a decade.
