Court broadcast of judges remarks to be allowed



Television cameras are to be allowed into criminal courts in England and Wales for the first time.
Justice Secretary Kenneth Clarke said he would end the ban to improve public understanding of justice.
Broadcasting will be initially allowed at the Court of Appeal, with a plan to expand to crown courts.
Only the judge's sentencing remarks will be broadcast, rather than footage of offenders, victims, witnesses and jurors.
