So a deal has been done. Tonight ITV News can reveal that after weeks of negotiations in a secret location the government has agreed to pay millions of pounds to former Guantanamo detainees and others who say they were subjected to degrading and inhumane treatment. And even torture.
More than seven people will receive money. Experts have told me that at least one will very likely receive more than a million pounds, others will get hundreds of thousands of pounds.
Why is the government doing it?
