rendition, pay-out, La Marseillaise

After a moment of silence to remember the victims of the‪#‎ParisAttacks‬ the French National Assembly breaks into a spontaneous rendition of La Marseillaise for the first time since the liberation of France after WW1 on 11 November 1918.

UK pays £2m over Libya rendition
The UK government agrees to pay more than £2m to a Libyan dissident and his family who say MI6 was involved in their illegal rendition.




Sami al-Saadi and his family were forcibly transferred to Colonel Muammar Gaddafi's Libya in 2004.
Their lawyers say the pay-out ends the family's legal action against the UK, in which they were arguing MI6 was instrumental in their kidnap.
