The UK High Court has ruled that families exiled from the Chagos Islands by the British government decades ago have the right to return.
The families were exiled in the mid-1960s and early 1970s so that the US could build a major airbase on one of the islands, Diego Garcia.
The families argued that they should be allowed to return to other islands in their Indian Ocean "paradise".
The ruling is the latest twist in a series of judicial battles.
