Channel 4 News' John Sparks reports on what is believed to be the worst single example of violence against the Muslim Rohingya community in Burma's north-west.

US President Barack Obama urged Burma to end the violence between Muslims and Buddhists, as part of his historic visit to the country this week.

There are claims that up to 110,000 Muslims, known as Rohingya, had their homes burnt in recent months in the Rakhine State.

John Sparks travelled to the tiny village of Yin Thay to verify the claims, and heard dozens of Rohingya were killed recently.
