Woman attacks judge in court - video

Attacking the judge is not exactly the best way to get your point across during a domestic violence hearing.

But Melissa Hardwick did just that at a family court in Monticello, Kentucky, USA. And now she faces new charges.

Judge Jennifer Edwards had just handed out a ten day sentence during the hearing after a domestic violence complaint had been filed against Hardwick by her estranged husband.

Hardwick then snapped and lunged at the judge before security staff restrained her.

Rare double hand transplant in Kentucky - patient's bandages removed

Dr Richard Edwards's hands were so badly burned in an accident five years ago that he found it difficult to perform simple tasks.

Now he has two new ones thanks to a rare double hand transplant by surgeons at The Jewish Hospital Hand Care Center in Louisville, Kentucky.

The BBC reports on what happened when the bandages were removed and Dr Edwards saw his new hands for the first time.
