:00:34.:00:39.

Ainslie. Many others are also honoured, as Daniela Relph reports.

:00:39.:00:44.

At the end of an astonishing year for him, the final triumph, now he

:00:44.:00:49.

is Sir Bradley Wiggins and trying to get used to it. I have always

:00:49.:00:53.

been uncomfortable with the title and using it and elevating myself

:00:53.:00:58.

above other people, having a name in front of your name, but in terms

:00:58.:01:02.

of recognition and accolade, you know, as a sportsman in this

:01:02.:01:07.

country it is the highest honour. There was a knighthood for veteran

:01:07.:01:13.

Ben Ainslie as the stars of Team GB dominate. Paralympian David Weir

:01:13.:01:17.

receives CBE, and the same honour goes to Jessica Ennis after her

:01:17.:01:26.

heptathlon victory. And Mo Farah is now also a CBE. Andy Murray gets an

:01:26.:01:30.

OBE for services to tennis, and Sarah Storey, Paralympic champion

:01:30.:01:35.

in both swimming and cycling during her career, she is now going to be

:01:35.:01:42.

a dame. He is unbelievable to think that is my new title. No, it is a

:01:42.:01:46.

real honour, there is no other way of describing it. You do not end

:01:46.:01:50.

these by right or anything, you have to be recommended because of

:01:50.:01:57.

the things that you have done. from sporting success, there is a

:01:58.:02:03.

CBE forcing and songwriter Kate Bush. Cherie Blair also receives a

:02:03.:02:07.

CBE for services to women's issue and charity. And Quentin Blake,

:02:07.:02:12.

most well known for his work with year-old Dahl, is knighted.

:02:12.:02:17.

citation mentions illustration, and that is something that I taught for

:02:17.:02:25.

20 years, I have done it for about 60 probably now, so it is very,

:02:25.:02:30.

very valuable to me. As ever, the list also recognises those who have

:02:30.:02:34.

contributed to their local communities. Agnes is honoured for

:02:34.:02:39.

her services to crofting in Shetland for more than 50 years.

:02:39.:02:46.

hope it will be an honour for the crofting way of life in the

:02:46.:02:51.

Highlands and Islands. But this is the year when the Queen's New

:02:51.:02:59.

year's honours will be marked by the successes of London 2012.

:02:59.:03:02.

Six men have been charged with murder in India after a woman who

:03:02.:03:06.

was raped by a gang died in hospital. The assault has provoked

:03:06.:03:10.

protests around the country and a national debate about violence

:03:10.:03:14.

against women. Andrew North reports from Delhi.

:03:14.:03:18.

They do not even know her name, but this country of 1 billion people is

:03:18.:03:23.

now seized by the death of one woman. How long can women be scared

:03:23.:03:27.

of walking in the streets? It is not a safe city, there is no

:03:27.:03:33.

question about that. Dr authorities have kept protesters away, nervous

:03:33.:03:37.

about a backlash from a city seething with anger. It was two

:03:37.:03:41.

weeks ago that the medical student was attacked after she boarded his

:03:42.:03:47.

bus, shown here on CCTV footage. On board, six men tortured and raped

:03:47.:03:51.

her for an hour. The brutality of the attack triggered nationwide

:03:51.:03:56.

protests. Delhi police were accused of over-reacting, using water

:03:56.:04:01.

cannon, tear gas and batons against demonstrators. The government is on

:04:01.:04:04.

the defensive, too, over its decision to fly her to Singapore,

:04:04.:04:10.

but officials said everything was done to savour. But in the end, she

:04:10.:04:14.

succumbed to her injuries because the scale of those injuries was

:04:14.:04:22.

very brave. Her body is due to be flown back to India, to a country

:04:22.:04:27.

that is increasingly losing patience with its leaders. One

:04:27.:04:32.

woman is raped in Delhi every 14 hours. Many more attacks go

:04:32.:04:34.

unreported, either because women do not believe they will be taken

:04:35.:04:38.

seriously or because of fears about the stigma they will suffer. But

:04:38.:04:42.

the brutality of the attack on his anonymous medical student has

:04:42.:04:48.

turned her into a symbol of protest, against a government that is widely

:04:48.:04:52.

seen as indifferent to the views of women across India.

:04:52.:04:58.

-- the abuse. The basics year-old girl spent her first night with her

:04:58.:05:02.

mother in the UK since being abducted by her father and taken to

:05:02.:05:08.

Pakistan three years ago. -- a six-year-old girl. Atiya

:05:08.:05:12.

Anjum-Wilkinson was traced after her mother's MEP raised the case

:05:12.:05:17.

with Pakistan's foreign minister, as Sian Lloyd reports.

:05:17.:05:21.

Three years have passed since these family photos were taken of Atiya

:05:21.:05:26.

Anjum-Wilkinson just before she was abducted. Today, now aged six, she

:05:26.:05:30.

is beginning to get to know her mother again after arriving back in

:05:31.:05:37.

the UK last night on a flight from Islamabad. Atiya was taken to

:05:37.:05:41.

Pakistan by her father, Razwan Ali Anjum. Mother and daughter were

:05:41.:05:48.

reunited at an airport hotel. just want to cuddle Atiya, I just

:05:48.:05:54.

want to hold Atiya. I do not think I have any other emotion. Atiya was

:05:54.:06:04.

traced to a village 60 miles outside Lahore, where she had

:06:04.:06:10.

living with relatives of her father. Their MEP wants changes in the way

:06:10.:06:14.

that such cases are treated. There is nothing I have done over the

:06:14.:06:18.

last five weeks that I could not have done three years ago, so there

:06:18.:06:23.

is a fundamental need to review the protocols that we have in place in

:06:23.:06:27.

situations of this sort. For Atiya, life back in Britain may seem

:06:27.:06:34.

strange at first, but her mother will begin the new year in a way

:06:34.:06:40.

she thought she could only hope for. Then the last hour, it has been

:06:40.:06:43.

announced that William Rees-Mogg, who edited the Times for 14 years,

:06:43.:06:49.

has died after a short illness. He edited the paper during the 1960s,
