Indigenous Australian elders have expressed outrage at an "Aboriginal dance" routine by Russian ice dancers at the European figure skating championships in Estonia.

The Russian world champions, who wore dark-skin bodysuits adorned with leaves and white body paint markings, said they were surprised to learn that they had been accused of causing serious cultural offence.

Neave Barker reports from Moscow.
