Armed protesters take over US federal building

Armed protesters have taken over a federal building in the US state of Oregon to protest the prosecution of two men.

Dwight Hammond and his son Steven have been ordered back to jail after a court ruled their sentences for an arson attack in 2012 were not long enough.

Campaigners say they could remain on the land for years and would not rule out violence if authorities try to remove them.
