British grandfather back home after release from Saudi jail

A British grandfather who spent a year in a Saudi Arabian prison for alcohol possession has returned to the UK.

Karl Andree, 74, was arrested by Saudi religious police for being in possession of wine, which is illegal in the country.

His family said he had been sentenced to 360 lashes, but Saudi and UK officials have said "there was never any question" of Mr Andree being flogged.
