The Arctic Circle club shaking up European football

A Norwegian football club from inside the Arctic Circle has just made it into the last 16 of Europe's Champions League.

Bodø/Glimt - a team from a remote town of 40,000 people that often faces harsh winter conditions - beat last year's runner-up Inter Milan to make it through to the next stage. They've already beaten two other world famous clubs - Manchester City and Atlético de Madrid - in the group phase.

Newshour's James Menendez caught up with Joe Foster, the club's international marketing manager, and asked him for his reaction to the Inter Milan win.
