Ian Bailey was arrested today after a High Court appearance where the third European Arrest Warrant from France was endorsed.

In May, a French court found the freelance journalist guilty in his absence of the murder of Sophie Toscan du Plantier.

His solicitor Frank Buttimer spoke to Ivan today and gave his reaction.
