actually get final closure. my late husband actually started this process prior to when antonia was born, looking into infected blood. and to now have it actually coming to an end and to have people say that people have been... he shouldn't have had it. he shouldn't of had it there was no reason for him to have that blood. it could've been prevented. it is undescribable. i know you wanted to come on the tv to talk about it because you want to give a bit more coverage to how this kind of thing impacts people from ethnic backgrounds. x�*fes. kind of thing impacts people from ethnic backgrounds.— ethnic backgrounds. yes. he had sickle cell anaemia, _

the high court in london has, at least for now, blocked the extradition of the wikileaks founder, julian assange, to the united states. it granted him permission to appeal against the order that he should stand trial for leaking military secrets that endangered lives. the court had previously sought assurances from washington that mr assange's free speech would be protected and that he would not face the death penalty if convicted. during the hearing, mr assange's lawyer said us promises given so far were inadequate. julian assange has spent more than a decade resisting deportation and facing the espionage charges. our legal correspondent, dominic casciani, has been telling us about the key points from today's ruling at the high court. the us says it's given assurances that this is not the type of case with free speech comes into play. but this has not satisfied the judges in london. they said we will have a full apparel on this point

the other point of assurances from the other point of assurances from the use as thatjulian massage will not face the death penalty, that is been accepted by his team now for the that is no longer an issue. for more on this _ the that is no longer an issue. for more on this i _ the that is no longer an issue. for more on this i spoke tojulian sanchez brother and he had more on how they are showing is doing. he: had a restless night last night for that we're all on tenterhooks because he could have been extradited or the extradition could've been ordered today which would have been in a horrible outcome forjulian. i think the judges today understood the gravity of what was at stake. in rejecting these assurances, particularly the assurance against freedom of expression. they understood what this means in terms of legal precedent that would say that the us can use it secrecy laws to actually attack their fear mode of expression and anybody in the united kingdom. wise is taken so long? it’s and anybody in the united kingdom. wise is taken so long?—

for the when pulses are sent to the damaged area. not all the patients showed this dramatic improvement, some didn't improve at all. three quarters of the 60 patients that tried it had some benefit. this is how it works. the brain sends instruction to move arms and legs through nerves and the spinal column. if there is a break those signals are weakened. but the signals are weakened. but the signals are weakened. but the signals are boosted by electrical pulses from electrodes around the damaged area when coupled with physiotherapy. this is the device that the patients use, it sends pulses of high—frequency electricity to these electrodes which are attached to the patient�*s spine. these are attached here and here, they returned the electrodes to complete the circuit. melanie reed

you're absolutely right. this garden is so essential to re—boost that message that we need to have horticulture and gardening and just general outdoor learning in the curriculum. the children we've worked with do outdoor learning once a week it really comes through in this garden. i think fostering that connection with the natural world at a young age is absolutely essential. the ticking visit your garden? the king bed. we had about eight children here. they got to meet the king and queen for that they were absolutely thrilled with that. good to talk to you- _ absolutely thrilled with that. good to talk to you. thank _ absolutely thrilled with that. good to talk to you. thank you - absolutely thrilled with that. good to talk to you. thank you for joining us. good luck with the opening of the chelsea flower show which of course is tomorrow for anyone who is in the local area. you've been watching the world today. christian is waiting in the wings. stay with us on bbc news.

hello. thanks forjoining me. it's been a warm monday and a fine end to the day for many of us with scattered, fairweather, clouds, hazy sunshine. but also one or two heavy showers and thunderstorms have been breaking out across parts of wales, also northern ireland. and these downpours may last for a while. for many of us, though, the evening and night is looking dry and generally quite clear. but later on in the night, thick cloud may bring some rain to parts of east anglia, lincolnshire and maybe the midlands, but it'll be quite localised here. quite nippy for some of us in the north around four or five degrees. but for many major towns and cities it's closer to ten. so here's the forecast then for tuesday and overall it won't be quite as sunny, at least a lot of hazy sunshine out there and at times really quite thick cloud. also a greater chance of encountering the showers. and they will be breaking out

across parts of south western england, wales, where especially here in western, northern ireland and also the highlands. but there is a possibility of running into a bit of rain almost anywhere in the uk. temperatures where the sun does come out for any lengthier period of time could get up to around 20 or 21. but for most of us, the highs will be in the upper teens and really quite gloomy along the north sea coast at times. and that rain may turn quite steady in east anglia and lincolnshire during tomorrow evening. then wednesday it's all change. a large area of low pressure will sweep out of the east southeast and this is really quite substantial rain. so rain early in the day reaching eastern counties. then it will spread right across northern england into scotland. now to the west and to the south the rain will be more showery, meaning that there will be some sunshine. so belfast i think cardiff, plymouth, portsmouth, london should get at least a bit of bright weather. but remember showers from time to time. further north, though, the rain will be heavy. now talking about the rainfall being its being substantial. look at the accumulation over the course of the week in some

areas, 30 to 40 millimetres of rain, perhaps even as much as 100 around the murray firth, which could cause some problems. so a thoroughly wet wednesday into thursday. and as you can see, most of us in for at least some rain, least of which will fall in the south. now, here's the outlook for the rest of the week and into the weekend. it does look as though things could dry out as we get towards friday and saturday so that heavy rain won't last for too long. that's it for me. bye— bye.

hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. my office charges netanyahu and gallant as co—perpetrators and as superiors in the commission of these alleged crimes. translation: the attorney general, in the same breath, mentions - the prime minister and the minister of defence for the state of israel alongside the abominable nazi monsters of hamas. there should be no equivalence

between israel and hamas. i none. the prosecutor at the international criminal court seeks an arrest warrant for benjamin netyanyhu, along with israel's defence minister, and three hamas leaders. we'll get the thoughts of the united states former war crimes ambassador. it's taken decades to get here, but the long—awaited report into the scandal of infected blood given to nhs patients has reported with a shocking account of error, betrayal and cover up. those affected feel the truth has come out at last. we will hearfrom those who have lost loved one because of that negligence. and a victory forjulian assange. the high court in london has blocked his extradition to the united states at least for now granting him permission to appeal. he has spent five years in belmarsh.

is it fair to keep pursuing him in this way?
