Europe: Family Affairs

In Albania today there are 10,000 men and boys suffering the effects of the centuries-old tradition of the blood feud. Meanwhile, in France 100,000 people live in polygamous families. Reporter Edward Stourton looks at these two dramatic stories from opposite ends of Europe which show how modern-day ethics are driven by history and tradition, and asks how close are we to achieving equality between the sexes.
