Jailed Ukrainian ex-premier Yulia Tymoshenko has been moved from prison to a hospital, where she is expected to be treated by a German doctor. She is expected also to end a hunger strike on her doctor's advice.

Tymoshenko was moved from her Kharkiv prison cell to a local hospital Wednesday morning. She was accompanied by neurologist Lutz Harms, a Berlin doctor who is expected to treat her, Ukrainian media reported.

"Tymoshenko was transferred from her penal colony to hospital for a course of treatment recommended by an international medical commission," the prisons service said in a statement.

Harms had apparently advised her that she must end the hunger strike and submit to treatment or could face permanent health problems.

Anders Behring Breivik produced "cries of joy" during the massacre he carried out on the Norwegian island of Utoeya last July, in which 69 people died, his trial has heard.

In the first of several witness accounts on Wednesday, Tonje Brenna said she heard Breivik cry "woo-hoo" as he shot people on the island.

Another witness said he saw Breivik fire at those trying to swim to safety.

Breivik admits the murders, but denies criminal responsibility.

He killed 77 people on total - 69 at a youth camp on Utoeya and eight in a bomb attack in the capital Oslo earlier on 22 July 2011.

A police officer will face prosecution over allegations he assaulted a 15-year-old black teenager who was handcuffed in the custody area of a London police station shortly after last summer's riots.

Metropolitan police constable Joe Harrington is to be charged with assault "occasioning actual bodily harm" over allegations he attacked Terelle Ferguson, now 16, at Forest Gate police station.

The decision to charge the officer was announced by the Crown Prosecution Service, which had previously decided there was no realistic prospect of prosecution in the case. Alison Saunders, the chief crown prosecutor for London, said it was "regrettable" that prosecutors previously came to the wrong conclusion in the case.

"I hope the seriousness with which the CPS has taken this matter gives the public confidence that we are an organisation which will review our decisions, openly accept when we've got them wrong and then take the correct course of action," she said.

Turkey will not deport Iraqi Vice President Tareq al-Hashemi despite an international Red Notice for his arrest issued by Interpol on Tuesday. In Iraq, Hashemi is accused of running a death squad.

In spite of being put on Interpol's most wanted list on Tuesday, the Turkish government said on Wednesday it sees no reason to extradite the Iraqi Vice President, who is in Turkey for medical treatment.

"We will not extradite someone whom we have supported since the very beginning," Deputy Prime Minister Bekir Bozdag was quoted as saying by the Anatolia news agency.

Bozdag also pointed out that Iraq was not cooperating enough in Turkey's efforts to detain supporters of the Kurdish rebel group PKK, which carries out attacks inside Turkey from bases in northern Iraq.

Al-Hashemi is being tried in absentia in Iraq on charges of terrorism. He is being accused of guiding and financing death squads that targeted government officials, security forces and Shiite pilgrims.

The Labour leader, Ed Miliband, has rounded on the government's legislative programme for the next 12 months, saying it offers "no change, no hope" for the unemployed and families hit by the recession.

"For a young person looking for work, the speech offers nothing," Miliband told MPs. "For a family whose living standards are being squeezed, this speech offers nothing. For the millions of people who think the government isn't on their side, this speech offers nothing."

The Labour leader delivered a hard-hitting attack on the prime minister, whom he accused of turning into "David Brent" within two years of taking power, after the government laid out its plans for the year ahead, including reform of the House of Lords.

Miliband told a packed Commons chamber that the government had created "the worst unemployment for 16 years, a million young people out of work and the first double-dip recession for 37 years".

Commenting on the Queen's speech, in which 19 bills had been unveiled, he said: "They promised recovery but they delivered recession - a recession made in Downing Street. They have failed."
