Arthur Simpson-Kent was detained two days after Ghanaian police

:00:12.:00:15.

He was found near a hide-out on the beach.

:00:16.:00:23.

The bodies of Sian Blake and her sons were found

:00:24.:00:26.

in the garden of their home on Tuesday.

:00:27.:00:28.

They'd been missing for nearly three weeks.

:00:29.:00:31.

We'll have the latest from our correspondent in Ghana.

:00:32.:00:33.

Egypt says it's stepping up security for tourists,

Leithead reports. For three weeks, after fleeing

:01:33.:01:39.

Britain, Arthur Simpson-Kent made his way west, down the long

:01:40.:01:43.

coastal road from the capital Accra. In towns along the way,

:01:44.:01:48.

we met members of the extended Simpson family, some

:01:49.:01:51.

who thought they recognised As we drove, word came from a small

:01:52.:01:54.

beach resort that the photograph being shown on social media,

the man wanted by police in the UK, was the man people here had

celebrated New Year with. You saw him around

:02:05.:02:08.

NeY year, you say? The owner of this cafe

:02:09.:02:13.

had raised the alarm. The local assemblyman had

:02:14.:02:19.

called the police chief The police went there

:02:20.:02:22.

and they arrested him. He was having just

:02:23.:02:28.

a knife, just a knife. The body of Sian Blake and her two

:02:29.:02:36.

children were found in her back garden earlier this week,

also down and the police catch him. This was the spot where

:03:07.:03:28.

Arthur Simpson-Kent was sitting cutting a coconut when the police

:03:29.:03:34.

came and surrounded him. He turned round, saw them,

:03:35.:03:37.

put his hands in the air. He had a knife but

:03:38.:03:44.

didn't threaten them. He simply walked away

in Busua, on the coast of Ghana. Egypt's Tourism Minister has said

:04:00.:04:03.

the country will announce heightened security measures

:04:04.:04:06.

in the next few days, after three tourists were injured

:04:07.:04:08.

in an attack at a hotel in the Red Sea resort

:04:09.:04:11.

of Hurghada last night. Security forces shot and killed

:04:12.:04:14.

one of the attackers James Reynolds reports

:04:15.:04:16.

now from Hurghada. His report does contain some details

:04:17.:04:21.

which you may find distressing. These are the moments

:04:22.:04:28.

after the attack at the Bella Vista Two men, each carrying knives,

:04:29.:04:30.

set out to find an easy target. The two attackers

:04:31.:04:36.

decided to bypass this, the protected main entrance

:04:37.:04:39.

of the Bella Vista resort. Instead, they came in through this

:04:40.:04:43.

restaurant next door, and they began stabbing

:04:44.:04:47.

people having dinner. 27-year-old Sammie Olovvson

:04:48.:04:52.

from Gothenberg told me he was stabbed in

front of his father. I'm bleeding in the neck,

:04:56.:04:58.

and I'm feeling like I'm maybe he hit an artery

:04:59.:05:01.

because it's bleeding so much. The attackers made it

:05:02.:05:08.

into the hotel lobby. Minutes later, security

forces arrived and The assailants had with them

done to Egypt's Red Sea region. The hotel stabbings

follow last October's suspected bombing of a Russian

:05:28.:05:33.

passenger plane in the resorts It's a safe country,

:05:34.:05:37.

but I'm very sorry for them because the tourists will be not

:05:38.:05:43.

back for many years, maybe, because what happened

:05:44.:05:46.

with the Russian plane last year and now this,

:05:47.:05:49.

I think it will break them. It's hard to fight attacks

and welcome visitors The body which regulates the City

:05:54.:05:58.

has defended abandoning an inquiry into banking culture

and behaviour of staff. The acting head of the Financial

Conduct Authority rejected suggestions that she'd

gone soft on the banks, Critics have accused the Government

:06:15.:06:17.

of ordering the investigation Our business correspondent,

:06:18.:06:23.

Joe Lynam, reports. Many people blamed the banks

:06:24.:06:29.

and their behaviour for the collapse in markets and the deepest

:06:30.:06:34.

recession in modern history. The regulator, the FCA,

:06:35.:06:36.

was investigating whether a certain culture existed in banks

:06:37.:06:38.

which enabled scandals, That probe was suddenly

:06:39.:06:41.

dropped on New Year's Eve. Today the FCA's acting boss

:06:42.:06:47.

rejected claims that it had We are not being told

:06:48.:06:51.

what to do by the Government. We have objectives which are set

:06:52.:07:02.

for us by Parliament in statute. We are determined

:07:03.:07:05.

to deliver on those. If you look at what we have been

:07:06.:07:07.

doing over the past six months, whilst I've been in the role

:07:08.:07:11.

as chief executive, you will see we have continued to take action

:07:12.:07:13.

against the industry, both in terms of penalties

on firms and in terms But some members of the all-party

on the regulator to The FCA hasn't reached

:07:25.:07:26.

its own conclusions. The former Business Secretary,

:07:27.:07:31.

Vince Cable, thinks without a strong regulator, which he says the FCA

:07:32.:07:39.

had, banks may revert to type. We know from historical

experience that, of course, if the banks are simply

left alone, that a lot There's a certain amount of evidence

:07:49.:07:51.

that a lot of bad things are still happening, that's why

:07:52.:07:57.

you need tough regulators. The Government flatly rejects any

:07:58.:08:00.

suggestion it leaned on the FCA Far from going soft,

:08:01.:08:03.

the Government says it has introduced a raft of measures

:08:04.:08:08.

to make the banks far safer and far less willing to take risks

Aberdeenshire this morning. The German Chancellor,

Angela Merkel, has said migrants who commit crimes should

lose their right to asylum. It follows a series of robberies

and sex attacks in Cologne Police in the city used water cannon

and tear gas against supporters of the far-right Pegida movement,

who were protesting about the attacks and about

reports from Cologne. The far-right Pegida movement say

the attacks on New Year's Eve prove the decision to admit over a million

migrants to Germany last year Here in Cologne, they waved

provocative slogans and called And today, the Chancellor responded

to a growing unease in Germany. She announced plans for the swift

deportation of asylum seekers TRANSLATION: When crimes

have consequences. Most of those on the streets

against the newcomers, Angela Merkel is sending out

a dangerous new message. She knows that her own party,

chosen to demonstrate here shows that the events in Cologne

:10:39.:10:50.

have crystallised the debate over immigration - not just

:10:51.:10:53.

here in Germany but across Europe. The challenge for Angela Merkel

:10:54.:10:59.

is to reassure an anxious public that she has a plan to bring

:11:00.:11:03.

the situation under control and also make it clear to everyone

that there are limits Mexican authorities have been

by parading him in front Guzman had escaped from a maximum

now from Mexico City. Paraded in front of the television

:11:32.:11:35.

cameras, the authorities didn't miss a chance to make sure everybody

:11:36.:11:38.

could see that Mexico's most notorious criminal

:11:39.:11:41.

had been captured. This is a dose of revenge

after he was originally re-arrested Last summer, he slipped down a small

:12:25.:12:28.

hole in the shower of his prison cell and made a run for it,

:12:29.:12:36.

in a mile-long, man-made tunnel. It's unclear whether Mexico

:12:37.:12:39.

will try to keep hold of its most notorious criminal or if the US

:12:40.:12:42.

will want him extradited. What is clear is as El Chapo returns

to the prison he escaped from last July, the authorities are hoping

they can hang onto him The former BBC DJ and TV presenter

surprising scores. All the results will be

Sportscene with highlights Adam Wild rounds up the day's big

:13:36.:13:37.

stories, starting with non-league Eastleigh - who very nearly knocked

:13:38.:13:42.

out Bolton Wanderers. The third round of the FA Cup is so

:13:43.:13:54.

often dangerous ground. At least Lee four time cup winners Bolton

:13:55.:13:57.

Wanderers discovered just that. How much the surface contributed to the

:13:58.:14:01.

own goal isn't entirely clear, but with a non-league side ahead and

:14:02.:14:06.

spectators on the pitch, it perhaps saved them from falling further

:14:07.:14:10.

behind. Eastleigh so close to a famous victory were denied by a late

:14:11.:14:15.

equaliser. A replay now follows. Not the dream ending, but still for

Jacobson wasn't about to let that opportunity go. For Arsenal, their

ambition goes much further than just the next round. Having won the last

two FA Cups, three goals against Sunderland began their journey

:14:54.:14:58.

towards another. Little drama for them, there was little of anything

:14:59.:15:00.

from Manchester United. This rare shot against League One Sheffield

:15:01.:15:05.

United greeted with ironic applause from their own fans. It took an

injury time penalty from Wayne Rooney for them to progress, relief

certainly. Celebrations - not just yet.
