OK John let's go with the Telegraph :-


Lord Janner is fit to attend court to answer charges of historic sex abuse, chief magistrate Howard Riddle has ruled at Westminster Magistrates Court.
The former Labour peer and MP, 87, who has Alzheimer's, faces a trial over 22 child sex charges in 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.
His lawyers claimed he was not fit enough to appear in court over the charges.
However after hearing medical evidence from two psychiatrists as to the extent of his dementia, Mr Riddle said it was his opinion that he should attend court.

After a short adjournment, Lord Janner's lawyers said they had not been able to make arrangements for him to attend at "such short notice" and appealed for an adjournment of seven days.

Mr Riddle adjourned the hearing until Friday August 14.
