No alternative now but for a full rendition inquiry
David Miliband has admitted two US "extraordinary rendition" flights landed on UK territory in 2002. The foreign secretary said in both cases US planes refuelled on the UK dependent territory of Diego Garcia. He said he was "very sorry" to have to say that previous denials made in "good faith" were now having to be corrected. Former Foreign Secretary Jack Straw and former Prime Minister Tony Blair made statements in 2005, 2006 and 2007 saying there was no evidence that rendition flights had stopped on UK territory.

Welsh Lib Dems stand up on blood donation
The Welsh Liberal Democrats Spring Conference this weekend called for an end on the blood donation ban which prevents gay and bisexual men, and female partners of bisexual men, from donating blood. DELGA Chair Jen Yockney welcomed the news saying, "the ban dates to the early days of the HIV/AIDS virus when transmission routes were less well understood and AIDS was still seen as a 'gay disease'. With the balance between homosexual and heterosexual infections now very different, and wider understanding about safe and safer sex, the current policy is long overdue reform."
