Hello, very good afternoon. Police are questioning the mother of | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
three-year-old Mikaeel Kular after the discovery of a body of a young | :00:26. | :00:32. | |
boy in woodland in Fife. Mikaeel's disappearance in Edinburgh on | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
Thursday sparked a massive police search. This afternoon a body was | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
removed from woods at the rear of a bungalow in the town of Kirkcaldy. | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
Our correspondent, Robert Hall is there. Robert. Tonight, Scotland's | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
First Minister echoed the views of the community in Edinburgh, | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
referring to a harrowing development in a story which touched people's | :00:52. | :00:57. | |
heart. Late this afternoon an ambulance rolled down the road under | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
the trees close to this residential street taking the child's body away. | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
In rain soaked woodland, 20 miles from Mikaeel Kular's home in | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
Edinburgh, the forensic teams move carefully around the discover I ril | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
which dashed the hopes of so many. An investigation into the | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
disappearance of Mikaeel Kular has been wide-ranging and fast moving. | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
As a result of these inquiries, I can confirm that we've recovered the | :01:26. | :01:35. | |
body of a young boy in Fife shortly before midnight. Mikaeel's face had | :01:36. | :01:44. | |
become familiar to all of us, the smiling three-year-old who | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
reportedly vanished from his bed. The search for him has ended on a | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
quiet Kirkcaldy housing estate, close to a bungalow which, the BBC | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
understands, belongs to an aunt. Today, the house, and its garden, | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
containing a child's trampoline, have been sealed off. The police | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
activity is concentrated in the wood beyond the garden fence. Mikaeel's | :02:05. | :02:12. | |
mother, 33-year-old, Rosdeep Kular, has been held in police custody. The | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
hunt for her son began, according to senior officers, after she told them | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
he had gone missing. The Kular's live at Ferry Gait Crescent in the | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
east of Edinburgh. Police were alerted at 7.15 am on Thursday | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
morning. By 5.00pm that evening, emergency services, backed by | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
hundreds of volunteers, had begun a search which would last two-days. As | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
darkness fell the police operation moved across the Firth Firth of | :02:39. | :02:46. | |
Forth to Kirkcaldy. At 1.10 am this morning they announced a body had | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
been found. So, so sad. Poor wee boy. Throughout the day families in | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
Edinburgh and Kirkcaldy have been laying flowers in Mikaeel's memory. | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
When I heard the news, it was -- I was devastated that this is what | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
happened. We wanted to come and pay our respects. Myself and it's | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
absolutely heartbreaking. Heartbreaking. Forensic work in and | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
around the house in Kirkcaldy is expected to continue for many hours | :03:16. | :03:22. | |
yet. Rosdeep Kular was formally detained at midnight last night. | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
Under Scottish law there has to be a maximum of 24-hours within which she | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
is either charged or released. Police Scotland say they do hope to | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
provide an update within that time frame. Kate. Robert, thank you. The | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
Senior Conservatives have been paying tribute to Lord McAlpine, the | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
former party treasurer who has died at the age of 71. His family said he | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
passed away peacefully last night at his home in Italy. Lord McAlpine, a | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
close adviser to Margaret Thatcher, was more recently wrongly implicated | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
in a child abuse scandal. Alex Forsyth reports. A towering figure | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
who made a huge contribution to public life. That's how Lord | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
McAlpine has been described in tributes today. He was a powerful | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
player in the Conservative Party as both Deputy Chairman and treasurer. | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
His support of Margaret Thatcher was unwaivering. He was a loyal aide and | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
friend. But former colleagues remember the man, as well as the | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
politician. He was almost renaissance man. He'd done many | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
things and been good at pretty well all of them, industry, commerce, the | :04:30. | :04:37. | |
arts, politics. He was trustworthy. He was funny. Puckish almost in his | :04:38. | :04:44. | |
manner. He made many good friends. Lord McAlpine's longstanding support | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
for the Conservative Party was briefly broken when he backed the | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
eurosceptic referendum group in the 1997 general election. He soon | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
returned to the fold. Over the years, his fundraising expertise | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
raised millions for the party and helped bank roll three successful | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
general elections. In 2012 he was wrongly implicated by the BBC's | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
Newsnight programme in child sex abuse allegations for which he | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
received an apology and substantial damages. Lord McAlpine was known as | :05:17. | :05:28. | |
a cull toured man. A cultured man. Lord McAlpine who has died at the | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
age of 71. The Liberal Democrat leader, Nick Clegg, says the party's | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
former Chief Executive, Lord Rennard, should not rejoin the | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
party's group in the House of Lords unless he apologises to women who | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
claim they've been sexually harassed. An internal investigation | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
found the claims were "broadly credible", but could not be proved | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
beyond doubt. Lord Rennard has always denied the allegations. Two | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
Britons are now known to be among the 21 people killed in a suicide | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
bombing in Afghanistan. One of those who died was a Labour Party | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
candidate in the forthcoming European elections. The the bomb was | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
detonated outside a busy restaurant frequented by Westerners in the | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
capital city Kabul. From Kabul, Carolyn Wyatt sent this report. The | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
wreckage of what had been a special place. For Westerners and wealthier | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
Afghan alikes. One of the rare restaurants in this city where they | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
could mix and relax. All that shattered in a heartbeat by a | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
suicide bomber and two attackers armed with AK-47 s they went through | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
the restaurant, shooting dead families and colleagues out for | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
Friday night dinner. Amongst the dead, four of the UN staff here, as | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
well as the Head of the International Monetary Fund in | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
Afghanistan. Today, it was confirmed that one of the British victims was | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
a Labour candidate for the European elections called Del Singh. Today, | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
his friends paid tribute to him and expressed their shock. The other | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
Britton skilled was former soldier, Simon Chase, a father of two from | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
Liverpool. He had settled with his fiancee in Northern Ireland where he | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
worked as a doorman in a bar. The staff that worked with him commented | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
that he was a true gentleman, great friend and had a nature that | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
couldn't see the wrong in anyone. They are obviously very upset today. | :07:17. | :07:25. | |
Security here was seen as tight. The suicide bomber bypassed all of that | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
by simply blowing up the entrance, with it the sense that anywhere in | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
Kabul could be seen as secure. Today, the clearing up began in | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
earnest, neighbours of the restaurant are still in shock. This | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
woman lives in the house opposite. She told me what happened. All of a | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
sudden the blast happened. I screamed. We jumped. There was | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
machine gun, heavy firing. The I was shaking. I hide myself behind the | :07:57. | :08:03. | |
curtain to stay safe, in a safe place. A lot of people has passed | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
away and got killed. I can see the blood outside. So that's sad. It | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
makes me very upset. Hopefully, I'm going to get over it. But it's not | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
eatsy. I knew the owner of the restaurant, I knew the guards. This | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
year, Afghanistan faces elections, then the withdrawal of NATO combat | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
troops. This attack, in the heart of the capital, has again shattered | :08:27. | :08:35. | |
hopes of peace. Now in tennis, Andy Murray has reached the fourth round | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
of the Australian Open after beating Feliciano Lopez in straight-sets. He | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
described the win as a "big step up" as one of the first serious tests to | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
his form after undergoing back surgery. Patrick Geary has more. It | :08:48. | :08:54. | |
might not look it but by Melbourne's recent standards this was a close | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
day, much more pleasant conditions to watch and play tennis. Andy | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
Murray will certainly have felt more at home. It took him a while to | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
calibrate his radar against Feliciano Lopez. The Spaniard could | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
duck out of that, but there was no avoiding Murray in full flow. When | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
if matters he has an uncanny ability to be in the right praise place at | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
the right time. It earned him the first set in the tie-break. The | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
world number 27 was being out witted by the second set he seemed to know | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
his fate. Lopez's serve went again in the first game of the third. The | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
Gulfing class between the players growing as the match went on. By the | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
end Lopez had no answer to Murray, who is yet to lose a set in three | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
matches. Today was a big step up for me. It's the best win I've had since | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
my surgery. I'm happy with that. In the interview room Murray is talking | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
down his chances of winning this Grand Slam. On the court he is | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
suggesting otherwise. There's more throughout the evening on the BBC | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
News Channel, as ever, we are back with the late news at 10.00pm. Now | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
