US whistleblower Edward Snowden 'in transit area' at Moscow airport

Fugitive US whistleblower Edward Snowden is still in the transit area at a Moscow airport, according to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The 30-year-old IT expert is wanted by the US for revealing to the media details of a secret government surveillance programme, which he obtained while working as a contractor for the National Security Agency (NSA).

The BBC's Steve Rosenberg went to the Sheremetyevo airport to find out where Mr Snowden could be hiding.
