Madonna's adoption ruling postponed

Madonna must return to court in Malawi on Friday to learn if she can adopt a second child from the African country.
The singer attended an hour-long hearing in Lilongwe to ask for permission to take 4-year-old Chifundo James out of the country.
Chifundo has been living in an orphanage since her 18-year-old mother died, shortly after giving birth.
Madonna has said it is 'amazing' to be back in the country where she adopted David Banda in 2006.
The girl at the centre of the case, whose name translates into English as Mercy, is in the same orphanage that was home to David, who is now three years old.
Madonna entered the court of Judge Esme Chombo through a back door without answering questions from the media.
The case was heard in private but afterwards a lawyer for the singer confirmed Madonna was seeking an 18 month interim adoption order.
Madonna is in the country with David Banda and her two biological children, Lourdes and Rocco. She is applying to adopt Mercy as a single parent.
