UK trial hint for Cuba detainees

The US has hinted it may release the Britons being held at Guantanamo Bay, so they can be tried in the UK instead.
The offer was indicated by US Secretary of State Colin Powell, visiting the UK along with US President George W Bush.

Mr Powell told BBC One's News at Ten: "The president is very sensitive to the views of the prime minister and the British people about the detainees."

Flanked by his UK counterpart Jack Straw, he said: "We expect to be resolving this in the near future."
