BBC News Online
Three video clips of an Afghan insurgent being killed by former Royal Marine Alexander Blackman have not been released to the media because of risks they could become propaganda, judges say.
The clips were recorded by another marine on his helmet-mounted camera. Appeal judges said the footage would "significantly endanger" a large number of people.

The Ministry of Defence argued that, if they were made public, any broadcast would be recorded by terrorist organisations and used as propaganda to radicalise others.
The judges, headed by Lord Chief Justice Lord Thomas, agreed, saying: "Releasing it would therefore present a real threat to life, the members of the armed forces and the wider British public, and to British interests overseas."

the South West and London and provided a "vital link" to Somerset communities.

The upgraded route is long overdue.
"A dual carriageway will help existing businesses thrive and create opportunities for new companies as well as boosting tourism.
“The upgraded route is long overdue, but we are now taking action to cut congestion on the A358 to give motorists quicker, safer and more reliable journeys.”
A couple who inflicted "horrendous injuries" on a 10-week-old baby have been jailed at Bristol Crown Court.

Five judges at the Court Martial Appeal Court in London passed the sentence this morning after changing his conviction from murder to manslaughter two weeks ago.
