The man wanted for questioning in Britain about the murder of Alexander Litvinenko has settled a libel action against the Russian daily newspaper, Kommersant. It will pay 1m roubles (£19,925) to a charity nominated by former KGB bodyguard Andrei Lugovoy for an article published last summer. Kommersant is owned by Russian metals magnate Alisher Usmanov, but remains one of the few Russian national newspapers to continue investigative and at times critical news reporting. (Via Reuters)
