The parents of Ashya King are spending a second night in police custody in Spain away from their seriously ill son.

The family are being held because of a european arrest warrant issued for suspected neglect.

Breet and Naghemeh King have appeared in a spanish court however the judge is refusing to reveal what the couple have been charged with.

Spanish Police have an armed guard over Ashya who has a brain tumour and is on a high dependency unit within a spanish hospital.

His parents have not seen him for 48 hours and other family members have been blocked from seeing Ashya.
