Riots Intensify in Mexico

Hundreds of demonstrators in 12 Mexican states have continued to block motorways in protest against a 20% increase in the price of petrol.

"Penya out" - that's the chant from the protestors - five days after the price hike came into force. With opposition politicians joining the call for an end to the looting and vandalism, we spoke to our correspondent in the region, Will Grant. Also, we discuss concerns for global sea levels as an iceberg with an area of over 5-thousand square kilometres is about to split off from Antarctica.
