The Foreign Office has announced fresh sanctions against Russia, which it says will limit Vladimir Putin's access to foreign military equipment.

The sanctions cover 22 individuals and businesses outside Russia supporting Putin's illegal invasion of Ukraine, as well as three Russian companies importing electronics vital to Russia's military equipment used on the battlefield", the Foreign Office said in a news release.

Let me give you two quick examples. I remember a case back 10 years ago now, horrible GBH in a pub, someone had their hands nearly severed, two people convicted, they went into custody and so on.

And yet, whilst they're in custody, it emerged that the indictment, that's to say the charge sheet upon which they had been tried, was defective because it hadn't been signed. And as a result, the court of appeal, I think the supreme court, decided to quash those convictions and they were released.
