Scotland Yard has received the paperwork required to arrest WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, sources say.
A fresh European Arrest Warrant has been issued by the authorities in Sweden where he is wanted for questioning over claims of sexual assault.
Mark Stephens, who represents the 39-year-old Australian former computer hacker, said he would fight any move to extradite his client.
But the move means there is no longer any legal impediment to holding Mr Assange and making him appear before City of Westminster Magistrates' Court.
Mr Assange is believed to be in hiding in south-east England as the latest publications on his whistle-blowing website fuel global uproar.
A British soldier who died in southern Afghanistan on Sunday may have been killed by friendly fire, the Ministry of Defence has said.
The soldier, from the 3rd Battalion The Parachute Regiment, was shot while on patrol in the Nad-e Ali District of Helmand Province.
Initial reports indicate that his death may have been caused by an attack on an insurgent position by a US aircraft, an MoD spokesman said.
The spokesman said: "Further to the announcement of the death of a soldier from 3rd Battalion Parachute Regiment in Nad e-Ali yesterday, initial reports suggest that the death was caused as a result of a friendly fire incident.
"The incident will be the subject of a full investigation; however, first reports indicate that an attack on an insurgent position by a US aircraft, requested by and agreed with British forces on the ground, may have been the cause.
The interior design did not become my lifework overnight. I used to create coziness and a “royal lifestyle” to my friends and workmates; I used to consult a lot that later resulted in something more than just an interior design.
Corr.: - Dear Lydia, You are well-known not only in Moscow, but also in Europe due to unique interior design compositions created by you. Please tell us about you, about the beginning of your creative development in the world of design.
L.D.: - The interior design did not become my lifework overnight. I used to create coziness and a “royal lifestyle” to my friends and workmates; I used to consult a lot that later resulted in something more than just an interior design. It was a change in conscience, ways and lifestyle. So, later I made up my mind to run my own business, and on graduating from Design Craftsmanship School in Manchester I started to create interior compositions myself (photo by tommerton2010).
Corr.: - Your customers are very likely to get interested in the English interior style, aren’t they?
L.D.: - Not at all. Most clients would like the design of their houses, country estates and apartments to create a unique coziness. It’s also important that the interior not feed up, but include such elements that one will be able to look on differently. I can judge by my experience that the classical style is the most popular with clients as of today. A classical interior with elements of English design is always in style, it creates a unique air of coziness and stimulates a person to do the honors of the house. What is a British home? The more bathrooms and bedrooms it has, the stronger necessity for inviting guests a person feels.
