Sudan's Foreign Ministry says that a Christian woman sentenced to death | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
for refusing to convert to Islam will be released from prison. The | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
BBC has been told she could be freed within days. There has been | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
widespread international condemnation of the treatment of | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
Meriam Ibrahim, who gave birth to a daughter in her prison cell this | :00:45. | :00:45. | |
week. From Sudan this afternoon, the first | :00:46. | :00:54. | |
sign that international outrage may save the life of Meriam Ibrahim. Her | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
husband, Dani Wani, a Christian and American citizen, is in the country | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
to try to rescue her. The couple, here, on their wedding day. She was | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
raised as a Christian, but her father was a Muslim. She has been | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
sentenced to death for renouncing Islam. Dani Wani has recently been | :01:12. | :01:19. | |
to visit her in jail. TRANSLATION: Her psychological condition seems to | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
be slightly better. The girl, of course, she is still small but in | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
good health. An image from inside the prison. Dani Wani, cradling his | :01:28. | :01:34. | |
new daughter. She was born in the cell this week, while her mother was | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
in chains. Earlier, protest outside the court were she was not only | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
sentenced to death for renouncing Islam, but to 100 lashes for | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
adultery, since her Christian marriage is not considered valid | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
here. The case has prompted international condemnation. Britain | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
cannot threaten to withdraw aid, because none of it goes directly to | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
Sudan's authoritarian government it has been edging the leadership to | :02:04. | :02:10. | |
show restraint. It does nothing for Sudan's International reputation, a | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
reputation that needs to be rebuilt. They are holding a national | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
dialogue, trying to engage with politicians to engage their | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
political process. This could be a positive first step to ensure that | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
she is released on humanitarian grounds and is allowed to have the | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
religion she chooses. Sudan's Constitution guarantees religious | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
freedom. Within the last few hours, a senior Sudanese official has told | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
the BBC his government will overrule the sharia court and ensure that | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
Meriam Ibrahim is released in the coming days. Encouraging news for | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
one family. But in Sudan, women and religious minorities still face | :02:50. | :02:50. | |
serious discrimination. Police in Dorset investigating | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
the disappearance of a nurse, have found a body hidden | :02:57. | :02:58. | |
in a car in Bournemouth. Rui Li was last seen | :02:59. | :03:00. | |
after finishing work at Poole Two men have been arrested | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
on suspicion of murder. From Bournemouth, | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
here's Jannat Jalil. The body was found late last night, | :03:08. | :03:18. | |
one week after Rui Li was last seen alive. It had been hidden in a Fiat | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
punto, parked in a quiet residential street, around five miles from her | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
home. Forensics officers had been examining the car and surrounding | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
area. Colleagues describe the 44-year-old nurse as a conscientious | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
professional with a gentle nature. Two men, a father and son, aged 60 | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
and 26, who detectives say new nurse, had been arrested on | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
suspicion of murder and are being questioned. A CCTV image of Rui Li | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
driving her Porsche, with personalised number plates, as she | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
left work last week, has been released in the hope it will jog | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
memories. We need to find out a lot about her life, her family, | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
background and friends. Just because we found a body, does not mean that | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
this investigation is anywhere near being over at this time. The body | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
has not yet been identified, but Dorset Police say they believe it is | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
that of the missing nurse. Although she was last seen alive on Friday, | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
she was not reported missing until Tuesday. Officers say it is | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
absolutely crucial to the investigation to establish where she | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
was over the bank holiday weekend. The car where the body was found has | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
now been taken away for further examination. Police have searched | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
several addresses in Bournemouth and are appealing for anyone with | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
information about either of the cars or Rui Li's personal life to contact | :04:39. | :04:39. | |
them. There are reports that a number | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
of people have been injured, after being struck by a vehicle at a rally | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
car event in the Scottish Borders. Police and ambulance crews are | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
at the scene.The accident happened during the | :04:50. | :04:51. | |
Jim Clark Rally,at Little Swinton The family of a man from London | :04:52. | :04:53. | |
who's missing in Malaysia, have called for more to be done to | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
help find him. Gareth Huntley who's 34, | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
hasn't been seen since Tuesday. He disappeared while on a walk | :05:03. | :05:04. | |
on the small island of Tioman, where he'd been working with | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
a conservation group. His mother has urged David Cameron | :05:08. | :05:22. | |
to intervene. If he could contact the Malaysian authorities, to ensure | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
that everything possible is being done, any pressure, anything that | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
will help to get people out there looking for Gareth. Anything he can | :05:32. | :05:33. | |
do. Edinburgh's new tram service has | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
finally opened for business, three years late | :05:40. | :05:41. | |
and ?200 million over budget. At one stage, there were calls for | :05:42. | :05:48. | |
the whole thing to be scrapped as the cost grew to more than ?770 | :05:49. | :05:49. | |
million. This is a day many in Edinburgh | :05:50. | :05:59. | |
thought they would never see. For some, it was a celebration after | :06:00. | :06:01. | |
years of controversy. It is here now, I think we have to | :06:02. | :06:11. | |
embrace it and make the most of it. I don't think there is any debate if | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
they are a good idea any more. The kids seem to enjoy going on them. It | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
has taken six years of drilling, digging and disruption to build this | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
tram network. A bitter dispute between the company in charge and | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
the contractor caused delays. Costs doubled and businesses say they lost | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
trade. The pain for some might not be over. If these trams proved | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
popular, and they have already needed extra services today, there | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
are plans to extend the line all the way to Leith on the outskirts of | :06:45. | :06:46. | |
Edinburgh. That might prove controversial. I'm really concerned | :06:47. | :06:53. | |
that the disruption, returns. Other people of Edinburgh, please don't | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
let this happen again. Why is the City Council so determined to make | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
this work? In a city that can't take any more cars, what we are trying to | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
do is encourage people to use public transport. This is part of that | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
package. On the first day, the new trams have proved to be very | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
popular. The curious crammed on to see if the project had been worth | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
the high price tag. Operators will hope that the novelty will not wear | :07:21. | :07:31. | |
off. An American soldier held by the Taliban in Afghanistan for three | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
years has been freed. Officials say Bowe Bergdahl was handed over in | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
good health. He was freed in a deal that included the release of five | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
Afghan detail is from Guantanamo Bay. They were handed over to A*, | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
which mediated the transfer. He was the only US soldier being held by | :07:51. | :07:52. | |
the Taliban in Afghanistan. There's been | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
a dramatic conclusion to the A try in the very last minute | :07:56. | :07:57. | |
of extra time saw Northampton crowned Champions, | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
after victory over Saracens in the Premiership final at Twickenham. | :08:02. | :08:03. | |
Here's Olly Foster. Saracens had been circling this | :08:04. | :08:13. | |
trophy, topping the league in the regular season and favourites at | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
Twickenham. With Northampton Saints more sinister begin with, Owen | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
Farrell punish them. He scored from distance. Saints threatened the try | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
line. Ben Foden gave them a half-time lead. Farrell briefly | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
kicked Saracens back in front. But Stephen Myler's boot was more | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
reductive, as he chipped through four George Pisi. Saracens were kept | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
at bay with some big hits. At Saints really needed to bash and Bosch. | :08:39. | :08:45. | |
Marcelo Bosch, with the try. This would have won it, but a long, hard | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
season was stretched by another 20 minutes. Two successful Hodgson | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
kicks butt Sarries ahead. But in the final minute, Alex Waller somehow | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
grounded the ball on the line. Sarries were sunk. Northampton's | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
first premiership title settled by no more than an inch with seconds to | :09:05. | :09:05. | |
spare. In cricket, Sri Lanka have won | :09:06. | :09:16. | |
the 4th One Day international Century from Kumar Sangakkara | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
helped the tourists to 300 for 9. It leaves the sides even | :09:20. | :09:23. | |

Ministry told the BBC that a woman sentenced to death for refusing to | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
convert from Christianity to Islam will be released within days. | :09:44. | :09:45. | |
