A journalist remembered

Cameraman and journalist Martin Adler, who did many films for Channel 4 News, has been killed in Somalia.


He was an award-winning photographer and cameraman - a regular contributor to this programme for over a decade.

But he was brutally murdered - while covering events in Somalia's turbulent capital Mogadishu.

He had made many films for Channel Four news and other broadcasters, many from some of the most dangerous parts of the world.

He's the latest journalist to be killed in Mogadishu - last year a BBC producer was gunned down in similar circumstances.

Our foreign correspondent Jonathan Miller, who worked with Martin for many years, reports:
