Hopes of finding four missing British sailors fade after their | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
capsized yacht is discovered in the Atlantic Ocean. The boat's life raft | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
had not been deployed. The Prime Minister says his thoughts are with | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
the families and friends of the crew. | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
After significant UKIP gains in the local elections, both Labour and the | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
Conservatives count the cost. And the Pope arrives in Jordan at | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
the start of his first official trip to the Middle East. | :00:29. | :00:53. | |
Good afternoon. Hopes of finding the four British sailors missing in the | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
Atlantic have all but faded after the yacht's life raft was found on | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
board the capsized vessel. The search has now been called off a | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
week after contact was lost with the men. Prime Minister David Cameron | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
said his thoughts were with the families and friends of the crew. | :01:07. | :01:18. | |
Duncan Kennedy is in Southampton. Well Cheeki Rafiki should have | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
arrived back in Southampton this weekend but early this morning came | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
confirmation from the US Coast Guard that they had found the upturned | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
hull and also crucially, the life raft. So for the families a week of | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
anxiety has turned into a day of tragedy. The photographs but brought | :01:38. | :01:47. | |
hope to an end. The turned Cheeki Rafiki and no sign of life. The | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
queue has been sheared off making stability all but impossible. The | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
Coast Guard also confirmed that the life raft was still on board. The | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
search for Andrew Bridge, James Male, Paul Goslin and Steve Warren | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
had spread over a week but has now been called off. The family of Steve | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
Warren issued a statement this morning saying we are sad that the | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
US has not suspended the search for Stephen and his friends. From the | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
beginning we together with the other families involved had continued to | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
hold out hope that he would be found alive. Many private yacht took part | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
in the search and this morning those who helped to organise them spoke of | :02:27. | :02:33. | |
a sense of loss. It is very personal to us we feel it is one of our | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
family out in the water and I think that sailors feel that way | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
worldwide. It is a situation where it could have been me and if it was | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
me I would want everyone to be a parent looking. The Cheeki Rafiki | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
had been returning from Antigua when it sent out distress calls. Today | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
the battle of Mac charter company said this was a terrible moment for | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
the families and friends of the crew of the yacht. We all share their | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
sorrow after this tragedy. This is where it all went wrong. Photographs | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
of the boat will now be studied by experts. The loss of the keel a | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
focal point for any questions. The keel will have failed | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
catastrophically, dropped off, and the boat would have capsized within | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
seconds. They would have been no time to respond to that. It will now | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
be down to the British Government to salvage the boat ahead of any | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
enquiry but for the families of the men, the public expressions of hope | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
now turn to the private pain of grief. | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
George Osborne has said the Conservative Party will respond to | :03:42. | :03:43. | |
voters' concerns which were expressed in the local elections | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
across England. The Chancellor said he respected the UKIP leader Nigel | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
Farage and the people who had voted for his party, but added they did | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
not have the right answers for the country. Labour has also been | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
defending its election performance. The party gained 338 seats, though | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
it didn't capture several target councils in the North and the | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
Midlands. The Conservatives lost 231 council seats. While the Lib Dems | :04:07. | :04:16. | |
lost 307 seats. UKIP won 161 seats. Our Political Correspondent Alan | :04:17. | :04:18. | |
Soady's report contains some flash photography. | :04:19. | :04:27. | |
It is probably not the only points that Nigel Farage will be having | :04:28. | :04:34. | |
this weekend. His party is still celebrating its strong performance | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
in the local elections and insisting it was not just a one-off protest | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
vote. But they are correct to the main parties when it comes to the | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
general election. The Chancellor George Osborne admits his party | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
needs to take the performance of UKIP seriously but he has rejected | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
calls from a few Tory MPs to form an electoral pact with UKIP. They will | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
not be packed because they want a Conservative government you have to | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
vote Conservative and that is the message we have to make clear to | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
people in the next year. There are only two people who can be by | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
Minister after the next election, David Cameron or Ed Miliband and if | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
you do not want Ed Miliband you have to vote Conservative. It is not just | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
amongst conservatives whether our jitters over UKIP. The election | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
results have seen the party picking up support in traditional Labour | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
heartlands. Some senior Labour figures have said their party needs | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
to talk about issues like immigration. The Labour leader Ed | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
Miliband himself coming in for personal criticism from several of | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
his own MPs. They claim he has failed to connect with the voters | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
but allies have defended his performance. Just look at those | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
results. We did win those local elections. We are on course to get | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
the majority, if you look at results in those key marginal seats, that is | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
something we have to continue to work at over the next 11 months and | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
everyone will get behind Ed Miliband and continue to do that. The vote in | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
the local elections have been counted but the results of the | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
European elections will come tomorrow. There may be more -- more | :06:14. | :06:24. | |
soul-searching to come. Reports are coming in of drive by | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
shooting in the Californian city of Santa Barbara, in which at least | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
seven people have died. It's understood it happened near the | :06:31. | :06:32. | |
campus of the University of California at Santa Barbara and the | :06:33. | :06:40. | |
gunman was amongst the dead. Fire crews who tackled yesterday's | :06:41. | :06:42. | |
blaze at the world famous Glasgow School of Art say they have saved | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
the building's structure and the majority of its contents. The | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
building was designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh and it was feared | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
initially that most of its works had been destroyed. Joining us from | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
Glasgow is our Scotland Reporter Kevin Keane. Kevin, the damage not | :06:56. | :07:05. | |
as bad as first feared? Indeed. Although from this position | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
looking up the hill it does look quite badly damaged. All of the | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
windows on the higher levels have been smashed. Part of the roof | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
appears to have collapsed as well and is still smoke smouldering from | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
higher up floors. But told 90% of the structure itself has been saved | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
and 70% of the contents of the building has been saved as well. And | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
much of that has been down to the hard work and efforts of the Fire | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
Service crews who were here throughout the night trying to do | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
their best. Understanding the historical importance of this | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
building to the city. The Scotland culture Secretary Fiona Hyslop has | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
been down this morning meeting some of the teams who have been involved | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
and she says historic Scotland and the Scottish funding Council are | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
engaging with the School of Art to talk about how it could be rebuilt | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
in the future. In Thailand the crackdown following | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
the military coup is continuing. The military government has ordered 35 | :08:06. | :08:07. | |
more people, including prominent academics, to report to them. | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
Yesterday 150 politicians from both sides of the political divide were | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
summoned. From Bangkok our correspondent Damian Grammaticus has | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
sent this report. Face-to-face. High security and | :08:22. | :08:29. | |
protesters. Increasingly bold. Starting to confront the Army. | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
Opposition to the coup beginning to show. The army here in Thailand said | :08:36. | :08:43. | |
that any gathering of more than five people is illegal for this March in | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
Bangkok today is a direct challenge to the military. The coup leader has | :08:47. | :08:59. | |
shouted obscenities. The police said they were waiting for orders from | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
the military, who seemed unsure how to respond. What do you want to | :09:05. | :09:15. | |
happen now? But Thailand's new military dictatorship as detained | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
political leaders, shut down media and imposed a curfew. It is trying | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
to stifle opposition. It is a risky path at its my -- as it might simply | :09:26. | :09:33. | |
deepen divisions in Thailand. Pope Francis has arrived in Jordan | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
at the start of a three-day visit to the Middle East which will also take | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
in the West Bank and Israel. He was greeted at the airport by political | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
and religious dignitaries, before being driven to meet King Abdullah | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
and Queen Rania. Later he'll celebrate mass at Jordan's | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
international stadium. We can speak to Quentin Somerville in Jordan now. | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
Quentin, what's the purpose of the visit? Well it is about to get very | :09:55. | :10:02. | |
loud here at this stadium because the Pope is just about to enter the | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
stadium. After he celebrated Mass here with 50,000 of the faithful, he | :10:08. | :10:14. | |
will then go and meet Syrian refugees. Many Christians have been | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
affected by that conflict. Some half a million have fled. He has called | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
ready for an end to that conflict as he arrived here to begin this | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
three-day tour. Much of the focus will be on his next stop. He will | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
visit the occupied territories and Israel. The Vatican support the | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
creation of a Palestinian state alongside Israel. Those peace talks | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
aimed at achieving that of course recently collapsed. This is a | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
plain-spoken and direct talking Pope and he is bound to have something to | :10:47. | :10:53. | |
say about Middle East peace. That is all for now. We are back at 20 to | :10:54. | :11:04. | |
seven. Good afternoon. It has been a hugely | :11:05. | :11:12. | |
appropriate sphere for a good part of England and Wales this morning. | :11:13. | :11:13. | |
Some | :11:14. | :11:15. |
