Is Max Mosley right to ask the European Court of Human Rights to restrain Britain's press?

Sarah Montague speaks to Max Mosley, former president of the FIA, who is asking the European Court of Human Rights to restrain Britain's press. Should it rule in his favour?

In 2008 a British tabloid newspaper accused Max Mosley, then president of Formula One's governing body, of taking part in a Nazi-themed orgy. It even had photos from a video that it posted on the web. Max Mosley sued the paper and won. The judge ruled there was no evidence of a Nazi theme so there was no public interest in running the story. But we all still know about his private life and that is why Mosley is now asking the European Court of Human Rights to restrain Britain's press. Is he right? And should it rule in his favour? HARDtalk's Sarah Montague speaks to Max Mosley.
