Turkey clashes in Istanbul after boy's funeral

Turkish police have fired water cannon and tear gas near Taksim Square in Istanbul during a protest triggered by the funeral of a teenage boy wounded in anti-government clashes last year.

Berkin Elvan, 15, spent 269 days in a coma after being hit by a tear gas canister as he went to buy bread.

BBC Turkish's Selin Girit reports from Istanbul.
