US authorities: 13 dead due to GM's faulty ignition switch

In America officials say 13 people have died in the past ten years because of an ignition problem with cars built by General Motors. GM has now recalled well over two and a half million of those cars but there are still accusations that the company didn't act quickly enough to correct the problem. Well, today - The U.S. Congress will try to establish who is to blame for those deaths. Public hearings will be held in Washington - and GM's new CEO Mary Barra will be in the hotseat. It won't be the first time she's spoken about the deaths: in March, GM posted this clip of her on its website when the company announced it was expanding its car recall. The BBC's Michelle Fleury has spoken to the relatives of some of the victims.
