Film director Roman Polanski is determined to fight his detention in Switzerland and extradition to the US, his lawyer has said.

Herve Temime said the Oscar winner was "in fighting mood" and his legal team would seek his release "without delay".

He added that the 76-year-old was "shocked and dumbfounded" by his arrest three days ago.
