If travelling with him, four other terrorist subjects. The men were

not in court for the ruling. Their supporters had gathered outside and

there were scuffles. Then came the decision to seal the fate of the

rabble rousing cleric who had been turned into a pantomime villain

according to his lawyers. The lawyers argued that the decision on

his extradition should be delayed again so his mental condition could

be assessed. They said he needed a brain scan to see if he was fit to

plead. But the judge said he was unpersuaded by the argument. Like

the others, he had taken his battle to stay in the country through

every court here and then gone through the European system and

finally announced last week his latest challenge in the British

courts. For some of the men, this has gone on for 14 years. In his

case, it has been eight, and the judges said the system needed to be

reviewed. One of the six Home Secretaries to deal with the case

agrees. It just cannot be efficient and more importantly cannot be just

with proceedings like this, that they take eight or 14 years to

complete. It is not fair and it is unjust to everyone. Just do it!

thousands of young British Muslims. In 2006, he was just opera fences

in this country. Meanwhile, the Americans also wanted him and the

extradition process got under way. He and the others are now facing a

range of charges in the United States. Abu Hamza is looking out 11

counts, including complicity in the kidnap plot in Yemen and conspiring

to set up a terrorist training camp in the US. These two men are also

accused of involvement in bombings in East Africa, while of Ahmed --

search for the missing five-year- old April Jones has turned into a

murder inquiry, after police arrested Mark Bridge on suspicion

of her murder. They've been holding him for three days and have now

been given an extra 24 hours to question him. April was last seen

on Monday evening after she got into a vehicle whilst playing with

friends. This has become a very different search. For the last few

days officers have been working to reunite a 5-year-old girl with her

family. But this morning the police revealed their fears that they may

be looking for a body. April Jones disappeared on Monday evening and

the man arrested on suspicion of her abduction is now being

questioned about an even more serious crime. Mark Bridger has

been arrested on suspicion of the murder of April Jones. He remains

in custody at Aberystwyth police station. He was taken to court

today, where detectives were given more time to continue questioning

him. Tomorrow afternoon Mark Bridger must either be charged or

released. At the house where he was living the search goes on. Even the

bins RM deed as police tried to build a picture of their suspect.

Everywhere there are reminders of April. Her mother asked for people

to wear and display pink ribbons. In Machynlleth, the symbol has

become -- the ribbon has become a symbol for increasingly desperate

hope. She is such a small girl. But she will be fine. We will find her.

Across the acres of land that stretch out of Machynlleth,

specialist teams are doing all they can. And there remains that close

focus on the reverse. No one knows what could be important. These

teams have been working for several days. Many are now having to go

over land and water that they have surged before. But they are

desperate to see if there's anything they may have missed, any

signs that could lead them to April. A wide variety of skills has been

needed in this investigation. As well as technology, like sonar

equipment. At April's school they continue to pray for her. It's now

known that Mark Bridger attended a parents' evening here on Monday, as

did April's mother and father. still have hope until somebody

tells us anything different. And as this community gathered together

this evening they were hoping for news from the search, while all the

time dreading what it could be. Three Kenyans who were tortured

during British colonial rule in the 1950s have been told they can sue

the British government for compensation. Today's High Court

ruling went against the government, who argued that too much time had

elapsed for the trial -- for the case to go to trial. It was a

moment some had been waiting for for more than half a century. Ever

since Kenyan independence, Britain has resisted calls to hold a to

account for horrific abuses carried out during their colonial period.

This is a historic judgment which will have repercussions for years

to come. The now we judge in London has ruled that the UK does have a

case to answer. For the Kenyans who brought the case and their

supporters in Nairobi there have been an anxious wait. This man was

one of them. He was severely beaten. A second man was castrated. The

third, a 15-year-old girl, was raped. I can't believe this! These

old people gave their lives so that we can be free. This is the first

acknowledgement. Of what they are sacrificed. From the early 1950s,

Mau Mau guerrillas fought an increasingly bitter battle against

the colonial authorities. More than 100,000 people were detained in

brutal conditions, often for long periods and without trial.

Initially the UK government argued that responsibility for the abuses

transferred to the new Kenyan republic following independence.

That was rejected by a judge. Now they argued that the key decision

makers in this case are all dead and unable to give their account of

what took place. At the time they knew it was pretty awful.

Subsequently there has been a reluctance to square up to it.

Partly because it is one of many colonial legacy cases that Britain

faces. And the lawyers have been advising the government that if you

let go 11 it will open the floodgates to others. The British

government earlier this year admitted that its forces tortured

prisoners during the colonial period, nevertheless it is

appealing today's decision. This could be just the beginning of

another long, drawn-out legal case. But here, as far as they're

concerned, they won an important battle here today. But these are

elderly people. Time is not on their side. Why do you want them to

go to their grave without the conclusion of their case that they

have sweated to bring justice? of these Mau Mau veterans may not

live to see the justice they seek. But their case could have far-

The director general of the BBC has written to staff to tell them he

has been in touch with the police in relation to the allegations

against Jimmy Savile. Police are investigating claims that he abused

under-age girls in the 1960s and 1970s. The UK is it an increasing

risk of power cuts in a few years' time, because of a loss of

generating capability. That's according to Ofgem. They say EU

laws are leading to the closure of nuclear, wind and gas-powered

plants. Is this a vision of Britain in just a few years' time, with

power cuts plunging businesses and households into darkness? According

to the industry regulator, there is now a greater risk of this

happening. Our report, which looks at this their electricity capacity

on the system, shows that there spare capacity is going down from

around 14% now to around 4% in three years' time. Any decrease in

that will increase the risk of shortages. According to today's

report, that means the probability of a blackout has increased, from

one in 3,300 years at the moment to just one in 12 by 2015. The problem

is that many of our older, more polluting power stations have to

close because of EU environmental targets. Didcot in Oxfordshire has

been powering thousands of homes since the late 1960s, but it will

now shut next year. It has been known for some time that nine coal

and oil-fired power stations would have to close by the end of 2015.

But what has come as a surprise is that this one, Didcot, and a

handful of others, will start to close from March next year. This

new power plant in west Wales could be part of the answer. It can

supply 3.5 million homes with electricity, but it relies upon

imported gas. The Government's Energy Bill, which is expected in

November, is intended to pave the way for more investment. Companies

say it cannot come soon enough. absence of having the Energy Bill

to give the legislative and regulatory framework has left

uncertainty, which has made investment decisions not come

forward. But critics say gas is not much greener than coal. While it is

said to be popular with the Chancellor, for his Lib Dem

coalition partners, the Energy Bill is all about delivering a low

carbon future. We have got some very ambitious reforms which or

heating Parliament later in the year, to bring forward the

investment we need to make sure we keep the lights on, keep bills down

and get greener energy. So, it is the end of the era of cheap coal.

Most experts believe energy prices are heading higher. How much higher

will depend on whether the Government gets its energy strategy

right. Coming up tonight - a pre- election boost for President Obama,

as jobless figures in America drop to their lowest level in nearly

four years. In Pakistan, thousands are expected

to take to the streets this weekend in protest against American CIA

drones. For the American government, they are a vital tool in the war

against terror, but for many Pakistanis, they are seen as a

violation of the sovereignty. From Islamabad, Orla Guerin reports. In

the skies overhead, day and night. In the tribal belt in Pakistan,

there is no escape from CIA drones, and no knowing where they will

strike. It was a drone that killed Al-Qaeda's number two in June, a

big victory for the White House. It says they are precision weapons,

which limit collateral damage. We met some of those on the receiving

end, who beg to differ. Between them, they have lost 12 relatives,

all civilians, they insist. Muhammad Yusuf buried two uncles

and two who are. When I saw the bodies in PCS, heart wanted revenge,

he said. It still does. The remote control killers are President

Obama's weapon of choice. They hunt down the enemy without boots on the

ground. Some argue the alternatives would be worse. Drones are the

least bad option. They displace fewer people than either the

Caliban or the military. But one former British soldier with first-

hand experience says drones make it too easy to kill. James Jeffrey was

in Afghanistan in 2009 monitoring live pictures from drones. He saw

what looked like a man planting a roadside bomb and was about to call

in a strike - then, someone else appeared. The individual who walked

up was a lot larger, indicating that it was probably a child in the

middle of the road, just plain. At that point, the engagement was

totally called off. It was an unsettling experience, because I

had come fairly close to engaging that target, which was a child.

the forefront of opposition to the drones, Imran Khan, the former

cricketing hero turned politician. This weekend, he hopes to lead

protesters into the tribal areas, a dangerous place. He told us the

drones are backfiring. Are they decreasing the number of militants?

Are they winning the war? Is there less extremism? Everything is

getting worse. There is more extremism in Pakistan than ever in

our history. This lawyer, Shazad Akbar, is collecting missile

fragments for use as evidence in court. He sees them as murder

weapons. Washington sees drones as a key tool in the war against Al-

Qaeda. But here, and abroad, their use is raising more questions.

Syrian activists say the city of Homs has been subjected to its most

severe bombardment in five months. Aircraft and artillery are said to

have targeted the Khalidiya neighbourhood. Activists have

reported fierce clashes in Aleppo as well as shelling in Damascus.

Unemployment in America has fallen to its lowest level since President

Obama took office. The jobless rate has fallen to below 8% for the

first time in nearly four years. It could help boost the President's

poll ratings. From Denver, Colorado, our North America editor, Mark

Mardell, reports. Snow in downtown Denver slows down the rush hour,

but millions of Americans have no need for morning haste.

Unemployment has remained high, even as the economy recovers.

Unemployment rose after Barack Obama became President, peaking at

just over 10%. Today is the first time it has been under 8% for a

long time. This morning we found out that unemployment has fallen to

its lowest level since I took office. The President was widely

derided for a lacklustre performance in the latest TV debate.

We made mistakes, and I cannot allow that to happen, that is why I

am running for a second term as the President of the United States.

Blaming unemployment on the President has been central to the

Republicans' case. Mitt Romney told a rally that today's improvement

does not mean much. unemployment rate has come down

very slowly, but it has come down nonetheless. The reason is

primarily due to the fact that more and more people have just stopped

looking for work. If the same share of people were participating in the

work force, today, as the day the President got elected, the

unemployment rate would be about 11%. Some think he has got a point.

Tons of people are taking part time work, tons of people are still out

on the sidelines. And all of these people are sitting around and

waiting for much bigger change to occur in the labour market. This

man would like to hire new people. He runs a small business in Denver,

making bags for fishermen, but he is uncertain about the strength of

the recovery. We do not feel yet that we can put the capital

expenditure in which we really want to. We might be able to afford it,

but we do not know if it is the right time. These figures might not

make a huge difference, but they help President Obama. They stop the

media going on about his debate performance, but the next set of

figures may matter more, coming out just four days before polling day.

an antidote to post-war austerity, a jet-setting fantasy figure, a

sophisticated Western spy who could outsmart the baddies from the

Park in Buckinghamshire. There is humour, menace, power-play with a

nasty villain, and as always, a vicious henchmen. Now I am here, I

am thinking, I might as well have a round of golf. I need an opponent.

But does this action man actually bear any resemblance to reality?
