Remembering victims of so-called honour killings

Events will be held across the UK to remember victims of so-called honour killings. The day of memory is held on Shafilea Ahmed's birthday - she was the 17-year-old girl killed by her parents for living a "westernised" lifestyle. West Midlands Police are trying to crack down on such crimes. They've organised a conference attended by victims, campaigners and social workers to try and tackle the issue. Our reporter Poonam Taneja has been at the conference in Birmingham.
