The US Supreme Court has blocked a lawsuit brought by Mexico that sought to hold American gunmakers accountable for playing a role in country's struggle with drug cartels.The court voted 9-0 to reject the suit, in the process upholding a 2005 law that shields gun manufacturers from liability if weapons they produce are misused.

Mexico's government had argued that the "flood" of illegal guns across the border is a result of "deliberate" practices by US firms that they say appealed to cartel members with their products.The decision overturns a lower court's ruling that allowed the suit, brought against Smith & Wesson as well as other manufacturers, to proceed.The case is the first time the court has taken up the shield law, known as the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, or PLCAA.

At a hearing in March, the court appeared sceptical of Mexico's challenge, with justices on both sides of the ideological spectrum questioning the validity of the suit.A community theatre has been given a council grant after announcing it would close without urgent funds.

Cheltenham Playhouse announced last month that it needed to raise an initial £50,000 by the end of June as it did not have the "depth of funds" required to survive.

Neil Burge, acting chair of the Board of Trustees at Cheltenham Playhouse, said the "first milestone is within reach" after receiving a £25,000 grant from Cheltenham Borough Council, which owns the theatre.The care Mrs Readhead received formed part of both RCP reviews carried out on behalf of the hospital trust.

Pre-op checks had indicated Mrs Readhead's left side was to be used for the TAVI, as her right side had some blockages because of calcified arteries.The manufacturer of the TAVI device that was to be implanted had also written a technical report clearly stating that access via the patient's right artery was unsuitable.

On the day of the operation however, the TAVI medics went in through Mrs Readhead's right leg by mistake. Realising their error, they paused to consider their options but decided to continue - despite the procedure being an elective rather than an emergency operation.They attempted to deploy the TAVI three times.
