Family members of Bloody Sunday nominated for Nobel Peace Prize

The leader of the SDLP in the North says he will nominate the families of Bloody Sunday victims for the Nobel Peace Prize.

It has been 51 years since 13 people were shot dead by the British Army in Derry, with a 14th dying a few months later.

Colum Eastwood says it would be a fitting tribute for the families' "long fight for truth and justice."

Speaking at a commemoration in Derry today, he says the nomination would send a strong message.
