A mum from Weston says she's borrowed enough money to fly her injured son home from Israel, where he's been stranded for over a week.

20 year old David McLaughin fractured his spine after falling from his hotel room's balcony - and insurers Axa have refused to pay out for his treatment or travel until they've investigated whether he was drunk.

David's mum Liz has told Nova News he needs surgery but faced a bill of tens of thousands of pounds to have it out there - so she's flying back to the UK with him on Saturday having checked him out of the hospital.
