'Procedurally sound' The independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, David Anderson QC, will meet police for an urgent briefing on the matter. He and senior British politicians have called on police to explain why Mr Miranda, 28, was detained.

Pressure is mounting on police to justify the detention of a journalist's partner under terror laws. Senior politicians and an independent reviewer have said police must explain why David Miranda was detained for nine hours at Heathrow Airport. Mr Miranda's partner is a journalist who published documents leaked by US whistleblower Edward Snowden. Police have not said why Mr Miranda was held, but he said he was kept in a room and quizzed by "six agents". Keith Vaz, chairman of the Home Affairs Select Committee, and shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper said police must explain why terrorism powers were used.

London (CNN)  -- He may be the future king of Britain, but for now Prince George of Cambridge is just a little "rascal" according to his proud father Prince William. Sitting in his garden at Kensington Palace on a warm summer day, the Duke of Cambridge, second in line to the British throne, told CNN that George is already quite a character in his first official interview since the birth in London on July 22. "He's a little bit of a rascal, I'll put it that way," William told CNN's Max Foster. "He either reminds me of my brother or me when I was younger, I'm not sure, but he's doing very well at the moment." "He's growing quite quickly actually.
