Baghdad resident 'there is a wave of sadness in the air'

The Iraqi government has promised to increase security in Baghdad, where there's growing anger over its failure to prevent Sunday's devastating bomb attack. Hayder Al-Shakeri, 25 years old and a resident of Baghdad, says streets are empty, people are angry at Islamic State, who claimed responsibility, but they are also angry with politicians and security officials for not protecting Iraqi citizens.
