CPS considering whether to charge Dr David Southall with assault
Paediatrician David Southall could face assault charges 19 years after he carried out oygen deprivation tests on a five-year-old.

The Crown Prosecution Service has revealed it is considering an alleged assault on a boy of five involving a paediatrician Professor David Southall.
Until recently Dr Southall was struck off the medical register after a General Medical Council panel found he had accused a mother, Mandy Morris, of murdering her 10-year-old son, Lee.
He was interviewed by South Wales Police about experiments that took place at the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff 19 years ago.
Bens parents claim he was brain damaged during a sleep study involving oxygen deprivation.
Dr Southall denies any wrongdoing and claims he is being continually hounded by critics.
During the experiments in Cardiff, children were given short bursts of reduced oxygen or increased carbon dioxide.
Ben has difficulty with coordination and weak speech. He still lives with his parents in Swansea.
Professor Southall faced similar allegations over his treatment of premature babies in the early 1990s while working in Stoke on Trent.
South Wales Police said that a file had been sent to the Crown Prosecution Service in April.
Dr Southall said he had been interviewed last October by police and that he was expecting a decision by the Crown Prosecution Service within the next couple of weeks.
"It's of serious concern to me," he said. "After what has happened to me I have lost a lot of faith in the justice system.
"These allegations have been hanging around for ten years, but I was only interviewed last October."
The controversial doctor was reinstated earlier this month as a paediatrician following a legal challenge after being struck off by the General Medical Council in 2007.
The appeal judges found that the GMC had failed to give adequate reasons.
The case has been sent back to the General Medical Council by the Appeal Court.
Dr Southall made it clear he has no intention of practising as a doctor in the UK, but he does want to return to child protection work.
"I have had 12 years of trauma, and opponents really will have won if I do not go back to child protection work," he said.
