Prince Harry is in the United States on BBC London: A 21-year-old man is

:01:44.:01:50.

have pulled a woman alive from the rubble of the clothing factory 17

:01:50.:01:54.

days after it collapsed. Soldiers said they heard a woman screaming

:01:54.:01:59.

from inside the debris. An official said she might have been able to

:01:59.:02:03.

survive by drinking water which had been pumped into the building. The

:02:03.:02:08.

collapse has claimed over 1000 lives and is the worst industrial disaster

:02:08.:02:16.

in Bangladesh. Out of the rubble she is carried,

:02:16.:02:20.

long after all hope had been lost. Still in the purple clothes she was

:02:20.:02:26.

wearing when the building buried her to weeks ago. Reshma is her name,

:02:26.:02:31.

her rescuers say she is in good shape despite what she has been

:02:31.:02:35.

through. Soldiers had heard her shouting as they cleared a lower

:02:35.:02:39.

floor of the clothing factory which collapsed last month. They brought

:02:39.:02:44.

in special cutting equipment to free her from the wreckage.

:02:44.:02:54.
:02:54.:02:54.

It is a miracle which has happened here. 17 days back the building

:02:54.:02:59.

collapsed. When I came to the scene today, I was talking to an army

:02:59.:03:05.

official in charge of the rescue operation. Suddenly I heard a woman

:03:05.:03:11.

was screaming inside the rubble. Stunned relatives clutching a

:03:11.:03:16.

relative of Reshma could not believe what was happening. So many days it

:03:16.:03:20.

has been bodies being brought from the ruins. With the death toll

:03:20.:03:25.

standing at over 1000, no one had dared hope anyone would still be

:03:25.:03:31.

found alive. Through the shocked crowds, fresh

:03:31.:03:35.

marbles rushed to hospital on a stretcher or the rescuers say she

:03:35.:03:42.

can walk. She had apparently been trapped in a prayer room. One

:03:42.:03:46.

incredible story of luck and survival from one of the worst

:03:46.:03:50.

industrial tragedy is the world has ever known.

:03:50.:03:58.

Let us get more from our correspondent. It is astonishing,

:03:58.:04:05.

what more do we know about her and how she is?

:04:05.:04:10.

It is a miraculous moment in a scene which is otherwise of in the imagine

:04:10.:04:18.

a ball horror. It is absolutely incredible because, 12 days ago,

:04:19.:04:23.

when I was there at the site, it was the last time they found anyone

:04:23.:04:29.

alive. This had become a clear rock operation, they did not think anyone

:04:29.:04:34.

else was left alive. There she was, as they were pulling away sections

:04:34.:04:41.

of the lower floors. They heard sounds. She shouted out, I am here!

:04:41.:04:45.

She waved to get their attention. They brought in cutting equipment.

:04:46.:04:51.

Then, a short time after they found her, they were able to pull her

:04:51.:04:57.

alive from the wreckage. She seems in quite remarkable shape

:04:57.:05:01.

considering she has been trapped inside these ruins the 17 days

:05:01.:05:08.

integers that were approaching 40 degrees. Almost barely unscathed,

:05:08.:05:15.

quite incredible. And yet, this is a brief spark of good news in what is

:05:15.:05:20.

otherwise an unprecedented disaster in Bangladesh.

:05:20.:05:24.

The radical cleric Abu Qatada says he will voluntarily returned to

:05:24.:05:27.

Jordan if and when the Jordanian government ratifies a treaty drawn

:05:27.:05:34.

up with Britain in March. The treaty forbids the use of evidence obtained

:05:34.:05:44.

by torture. His lawyers are calling for his immediate release on bail.

:05:44.:05:49.

For nearly a decade, Abu Qatada has been slugging it out with the

:05:49.:05:54.

British authorities. He was not at this hearing today but we had a

:05:54.:05:57.

dramatic announcement from his lawyers he had instructed them to

:05:57.:06:01.

throwing the towel. Teresa May is the sixth Home Secretary to deal

:06:01.:06:07.

with the case and she may be the one to get Abu Qatada onto a plane. The

:06:07.:06:10.

years, he has been locked in a legal battle with the British

:06:10.:06:13.

authorities, fighting attempts to send him back to his native Jordan.

:06:14.:06:18.

The UK recently signed a deal with the Jordanians to clear the way for

:06:18.:06:27.

his return. Today, his stand a hearing in London. Using his

:06:27.:06:37.
:06:37.:06:40.

client's official name, his Theresa May signed a deal with

:06:40.:06:43.

Jordan which she hoped would be a breakthrough.

:06:43.:06:47.

I believe these guarantees will provide the courts with the

:06:47.:06:50.

assurance Abu Qatada will not face evidence which might have been

:06:50.:06:55.

obtained by torture. The hearing was meant to focus on

:06:55.:06:59.

whether Abu Qatada should be released on bail. Two months ago he

:06:59.:07:03.

was returned to prison for allegedly breaching his bail conditions. But

:07:03.:07:09.

did this preacher of influence break terrorist laws here went on bail, by

:07:09.:07:13.

sending extremist messages to followers? That is what Scotland

:07:13.:07:17.

Yard is investigating. They have seized material from his home and

:07:17.:07:22.

are examining Internet sites. The BBC has learned their enquiry has

:07:22.:07:27.

led to Danish police arresting and charging a man. In the last year, a

:07:27.:07:32.

company in Copenhagen with extremist links has published online articles

:07:32.:07:39.

in the name of Abu Qatada. The BBC has seen this material. One passage

:07:39.:07:42.

talks about jihadists sacrificing their lives and encouraging others

:07:42.:07:45.

to follow that path. It is impossible to verify whether this

:07:45.:07:50.

and everything else published in his name is the work of the radical

:07:50.:07:54.

cleric but, while the British investigation continues, it seems

:07:54.:07:59.

Abu Qatada has now decided he will face Jordanian justice.

:07:59.:08:05.

So what is the timescale? To May has indicated this deal could be

:08:05.:08:09.

approved by the British Parliament by the end of June. One of our

:08:09.:08:16.

colleagues in Jordanian -- Jordan has said he did think the government

:08:16.:08:23.

would approve the deal but he could not say when.

:08:23.:08:27.

The British Olympic sailing champion Andrew Simpson has drowned during

:08:27.:08:33.

training for the America's Cup, he was trapped between his catamaran

:08:33.:08:38.

ten minutes after it capsised. Doctors were not able to revive him.

:08:38.:08:42.

Andrew won sailing gold medals in Beijing, and a silver in London last

:08:42.:08:50.

year. The world of competitive sailing,

:08:50.:08:54.

based in Weymouth, has gone into shock hearing this news about Andrew

:08:54.:09:00.

Simpson. He practically grew up in the waters around here. During the

:09:00.:09:05.

2012 Olympics he won his silver medal. He won gold in Beijing for

:09:05.:09:10.

years before that. Universally, he has been described here as a

:09:10.:09:14.

loving, generous man. They cannot believe he died doing the sport he

:09:14.:09:20.

loved. In the choppy waters in San

:09:20.:09:25.

Francisco, his catamaran lies upside down. It had flipped over during a

:09:25.:09:31.

training session. Moments after, the accident divers were on the vessel

:09:31.:09:35.

but it was too late. The 36-year-old Olympic champion was trapped

:09:35.:09:41.

underneath and could not be saved. We honestly had a tragic day today

:09:41.:09:47.

on the bay and our thoughts and prayers are with Andrew Simpson's

:09:47.:09:54.

family, his wife and kids. Andrew Simpson was a double Olympic

:09:54.:09:58.

medallist with his close friend Iain Percy. They triumphed with gold in

:09:58.:10:04.

Beijing five years ago, an inspiration for team and country.

:10:04.:10:10.

Then last year, in the 2012 Olympics, they almost clinched a

:10:10.:10:14.

second but were beaten into silver medal position by a few seconds.

:10:14.:10:22.

Very ambitious. I got the impression from that early age, 15 years old,

:10:22.:10:27.

like most teenagers, where you could see that he wanted to go forward. He

:10:27.:10:32.

was very keen on the sport. Obviously he went on to greater and

:10:32.:10:35.

bigger things. In a statement, the multiple Olympic

:10:35.:10:45.
:10:45.:10:54.

sailing in is a high-performance machine, designed for waterborne

:10:54.:10:58.

speeds of up to 40 knots. It makes it highly efficient but

:10:58.:11:04.

also brings dangers. Each crew member carrying just a small tank of

:11:04.:11:08.

oxygen in case it subsides -- capsises.

:11:09.:11:14.

These are the Formula one cars of the sailing world, 72 foot long.

:11:14.:11:19.

Clearly in a capsise, some serious things can happen.

:11:19.:11:23.

Andrew Simpson was married with two young children. In the words of one

:11:23.:11:28.

colleague, he lived by his family and for sailing. Both are now in

:11:28.:11:35.

mourning for a humble man, and a champion competitor.

:11:35.:11:39.

The America's Cup organisers are now investigating the accident and say

:11:39.:11:43.

they usually have divers and doctors on the scene to prevent this kind of

:11:43.:11:47.

tragedy, but something has clearly gone wrong in this case. The world

:11:47.:11:51.

of sailing has lost one of its most flamboyant and greatest of

:11:51.:11:59.

ambassadors. The chief executive of the Co-op

:11:59.:12:03.

bank is to stand down with immediate effect. The announcement comes after

:12:03.:12:08.

the ratings agency Moody's downgraded its debt ratings and

:12:08.:12:17.

warned of further downgrades. Details of a grooming ring which

:12:17.:12:20.

sexually abused teenage girls in Shropshire can be reported for the

:12:20.:12:27.

first time. The men were British of Pakistani origin and their victims

:12:27.:12:33.

were white but police say the grooming was not racially motivated.

:12:33.:12:38.

Their victims were teenage goals who suffered appalling sexual abuse.

:12:38.:12:43.

These men were sentenced to more than 50 years between them. The

:12:43.:12:49.

ringleaders were brothers, Ahdel and Mubarek Ali, who were found guilty

:12:49.:12:54.

of 26 charges including rape, human trafficking and child plus --

:12:54.:12:58.

prostitution. The others were convicted of related crimes.

:12:58.:13:01.

These men clearly knew what they were doing, they targeted young

:13:01.:13:06.

girls. They were able to identify quite effectively there are

:13:06.:13:09.

vulnerabilities. These were people who used others as commodities and

:13:09.:13:15.

used them to their own gain. They preyed on their victims at

:13:15.:13:19.

night in the market town of Wellington near Telford. The

:13:19.:13:24.

youngest was aged 13. Some of the men worked in the takeaway trade and

:13:24.:13:28.

girls were abused in back rooms on the premises. Others were taken to

:13:28.:13:33.

locations across the Midlands and to Yorkshire to be sexually exploited.

:13:33.:13:37.

Most of them were lonely and vulnerable youngsters who were plied

:13:37.:13:41.

with drugs and alcohol. They would be given things like

:13:41.:13:51.

mobile phones, bought presents. Anything a teenage girl, she wants

:13:51.:13:56.

to be thought of as attractive, as something special having a slightly

:13:56.:14:02.

older boyfriend. It appeals to the vulnerability of teenagers.

:14:02.:14:08.

Some of the abuse dated back to 2006 and the historic nature of the

:14:08.:14:12.

allegations made it a challenging investigation. It took officers

:14:12.:14:16.

three years to piece together what was happening. Some of the girls

:14:16.:14:22.

were taken from here to other parts of the country and it was one of the

:14:22.:14:26.

first times that human trafficking legislation was used in cases of

:14:26.:14:30.

child sex exploitation. Police say operation Challis exposed

:14:31.:14:37.

a ring of dangerous predators who set out to control their victims.

:14:37.:14:46.

They hope that the convictions will the man accused of imprisoning three

:14:46.:14:50.

women in his home for over a decade could face the death penalty. Ariel

:14:50.:14:53.

Castro, who's 52, appeared in court in the United States yesterday,

:14:53.:14:56.

charged with kidnap and rape. But he could also face charges of

:14:56.:14:59.

aggravated murder over the alleged forced miscarriages suffered by one

:14:59.:15:07.

of the women. Our correspondent David Willis sent this report. Grim

:15:07.:15:11.

details of the women's decade long ordeal behind the walls of this

:15:11.:15:18.

shabby suburban house are slowly starting to emerge. With their

:15:18.:15:24.

alleged Kaptur Ariel Castro now the one in captivity, it's been said one

:15:24.:15:29.

of the women was impregnated several times and forced to miscarry which,

:15:29.:15:34.

as well as rape and kidnapping, would mean aggravated murder charges

:15:34.:15:36.

according to the local prosecutor. Charges which carry the death

:15:36.:15:42.

penalty. This child kidnapper operated a torture chamber and

:15:42.:15:47.

private prison in the heart of our city. The horrific brutality and

:15:47.:15:50.

torture that the victims and duelled for a decade was beyond

:15:50.:15:55.

comprehension. One of those victims Gina DeJesus, enjoyed a rapturous

:15:55.:16:01.

homecoming earlier this week. During her captivity, her mother would

:16:01.:16:07.

sometimes pass Ariel Castro on the street and exchanged pleasantries.

:16:07.:16:17.

You know how may times I've been through those streets? It was two

:16:17.:16:25.

blocks and a half away from me. Ariel Castro 's mother Lillian

:16:25.:16:29.

Rodriguez have asked for forgiveness for those held captive. My son is

:16:29.:16:34.

sick, she told reporters, I had nothing to do with what he did. At

:16:34.:16:38.

the same time, as three families are being reunited, another is being

:16:38.:16:47.

torn apart. Our top story this lunchtime. 17 days after the

:16:47.:16:49.

Bangladesh building collapse, a woman is pulled alive from the

:16:49.:16:56.

debris. It's thought she survived on water pumped through the rubble. And

:16:56.:16:59.

still to come. The cyber crime that spanned the globe. Thieves steal

:16:59.:17:08.

almost �30 million. Later on BBC London, the three-hour school

journey for some sorry pupils which some parents say is illegal.

:17:17.:17:19.

Disappointment for Watford as they lose to Leicester in the play-off

:17:20.:17:26.

semifinals. Plans to build a huge new airport to the east of London

:17:26.:17:29.

have been strongly criticised by a group of MPs. The Transport Select

:17:29.:17:32.

Committee is urging the government to reject the idea and to press

:17:32.:17:34.

ahead with expanding Heathrow as soon as possible. They say Heathrow

:17:34.:17:44.
:17:44.:17:47.

needs at least one more runway, and possibly two.

:17:47.:17:55.

Richard is near Heathrow for us now. All most controversial parts of this

:17:55.:17:58.

report is that it might be worth looking at a scheme to move

:17:59.:18:06.

Heathrow. That is terminal five behind that pylon. Move it about one

:18:06.:18:09.

mile towards us here and there will be four new runways in amongst those

:18:09.:18:15.

trees. It would put the M25 in a tunnel with a runway going over the

:18:15.:18:20.

top. There will be years before we get any decision on an airport but

:18:20.:18:27.

it's one of the most poisonous issues in politics. London, the

:18:27.:18:31.

provision of a third airport for London is no problem according to

:18:31.:18:35.

the developer & Co. It's not exactly a new idea. Governments have been

:18:35.:18:38.

talking about new runways for decades but despite numerous

:18:38.:18:46.

reports, and fancy scale models, none have been built. Today's report

:18:46.:18:51.

says those delays are bad for business. The MPs want a bigger

:18:51.:18:56.

Heathrow and quickly. It is essential that the UK is connected

:18:56.:19:01.

globally to the rest of the world. That is important for jobs and for

:19:01.:19:08.

our economy. Unless we expand the airport, we will lose out to

:19:08.:19:11.

European companies. They recommend building a new third runway at the

:19:11.:19:15.

airport but they don't stop there. The report suggests looking at the

:19:15.:19:19.

more radical scheme, shifting Heathrow about one mile to the west

:19:19.:19:25.

and building four new runways. might be cheaper to move London to

:19:25.:19:32.

the east, frankly. What you need to look at are the real long-term

:19:32.:19:39.

benefits from having a new airport. He favours a brand-new floating mega

:19:39.:19:44.

airport on the other side of London. But this report said it would just

:19:44.:19:48.

be too expensive, costing the taxpayer up to �30 billion just to

:19:48.:19:53.

build a new road and train line to get people there. Instead of

:19:53.:19:57.

expanding airports, the government needs to invest in green transport

:19:57.:20:02.

so they need to make trains work and be affordable to ordinary people and

:20:03.:20:06.

also we need to look at modern technology because we can have

:20:06.:20:12.

business meetings now online and reduce the need for travel. Airports

:20:12.:20:16.

are toxic issue which is why the government has set up an independent

:20:16.:20:20.

commission to find an answer but they won't be reporting back until

:20:20.:20:28.

after the next general election in two years time. The first phase of a

:20:28.:20:33.

new airport could be in operation in three years. History shows, even

:20:33.:20:39.

then, there's no guarantee anything will happen. You heard me mention

:20:39.:20:44.

that commission. A quick word on a timetable. They are going to come

:20:44.:20:49.

back with a shortlist of the best schemes and after the election, 18

:20:49.:20:52.

months later, a final recommendation, so it will be down

:20:52.:20:57.

to the next government, whoever that is, to finally decide what to do.

:20:57.:21:05.

Okay,, thank you. OK, Richard, thank you. A West Yorkshire Police report

:21:05.:21:08.

has found no evidence Jimmy Savile was protected from arrest or

:21:08.:21:11.

prosecution by his relationship with the force. But it highlighted an

:21:11.:21:13.

over-reliance on personal friendships between Savile and some

:21:13.:21:15.

officers, and said mistakes were made in handling intelligence. Our

:21:15.:21:21.

correspondent Danny Savage has more. He spent most of his life in West

:21:21.:21:25.

Yorkshire and knew many police officers here. But a far-reaching

:21:25.:21:28.

enquiry into the relationship between West Yorkshire Police and

:21:28.:21:33.

Jimmy Savile had to be carried out by the force. 68 victims have now

:21:33.:21:36.

been identified in the county, all of them coming forward since his

:21:36.:21:46.
:21:46.:21:47.

death. We had intelligence but did not join the dots. Why did victims

:21:47.:21:52.

hesitate for so long? People felt it was difficult to come forward. We

:21:52.:21:56.

have not found anything to suggest police officers were protecting all

:21:56.:21:59.

because of the relationship be had with police officers. It was

:21:59.:22:04.

actually because it was a celebrity. And whether they would be believed

:22:04.:22:09.

or not. But West Yorkshire Police say they did make mistakes. In

:22:09.:22:15.

2007, the Surrey police investigated his crimes at this school and ask

:22:15.:22:20.

West Yorkshire colleagues about any files on him and despite that,

:22:20.:22:24.

Savile was still used afterward as the voice of talking signs in a

:22:24.:22:34.
:22:34.:22:34.

crime prevention campaign. This has left one victim dismayed. It just

:22:34.:22:38.

sends shivers through me. I really thought this was over and done with

:22:38.:22:42.

when he died. That was the end of it as far as I was concerned. I never

:22:42.:22:50.

thought I would have to think about it again. All this now is just a bit

:22:50.:22:55.

too much. His penthouse flat in Leeds was the venue for his

:22:55.:23:00.

so-called Friday morning club, a social gathering often attended by

:23:00.:23:04.

serving police officers. West Yorkshire Police say there is no

:23:04.:23:09.

evidence of improper relationships with officers. Today's report also

:23:09.:23:13.

revealed his youngest victim in West Yorkshire was just five years old,

:23:13.:23:19.

another shocking revelation about the secret life of Jimmy Savile. A

:23:19.:23:23.

police officer has told a jury how she was sent to the cottage of the

:23:23.:23:27.

man accused of murdering April Jones to help arrest him. Detective

:23:27.:23:29.

constable Sarah Totterdale said Mark Bridger's home smelled of detergent

:23:29.:23:32.

and was hot. Mr Bridger denies abducting and murdering April, who

:23:32.:23:35.

went missing near her Machynlleth in October last year. Our Wales

:23:35.:23:42.

Correspondent Hywel Griffith is at Mold Crown Court. Yes, the police

:23:42.:23:46.

officers were sent to Mark Bridger 's home and forced their way in and

:23:46.:23:51.

had two aims, to arrest him and find April. They searched for her in the

:23:51.:23:55.

attic, even in the chimney, but there was no sign of her, all of

:23:56.:23:59.

Mark Bridger. The jury has also been hearing today from the team who

:23:59.:24:04.

managed to track him down and arrest him, walking from Machynlleth to his

:24:04.:24:09.

home. The first words he said to them with this, "I know what it's

:24:09.:24:15.

all about. It was an accident. I don't know where she is." After he

:24:15.:24:19.

was arrested, and took in for questioning, he continued to talk,

:24:19.:24:23.

described as being an emotional wreck, telling them he had been

:24:23.:24:26.

looking everywhere for her and couldn't remember what happened, he

:24:26.:24:31.

wanted to say sorry to April 's parents. He denies the charges of

:24:31.:24:39.

abduction, murder and perverting the course of justice. The jury will

:24:39.:24:42.

return here on Monday to hear more evidence on the case. OK, thank you

:24:42.:24:45.

very much. Prince Harry has begun a week-long tour of the United States.

:24:45.:24:48.

He's started by meeting America's First Lady Michelle Obama and joined

:24:48.:24:51.

her in honouring America's military mothers and their children at a

:24:51.:24:55.

White House reception. Our royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell sent

:24:55.:25:02.

this report. His reputation has preceded him. The

:25:02.:25:07.

last time he was in the USA there was a game of strip billions which

:25:07.:25:12.

made headlines around the world. This time he's here on official

:25:12.:25:17.

business with a serious agenda, the first stop was Capitol Hill, the

:25:17.:25:20.

subject was landmines. Yet the object of greatest interest for many

:25:20.:25:29.

was Harry himself. Crammed into corridors, hiding behind pillars,

:25:29.:25:34.

and leaning over balconies, where members of staff from America's

:25:34.:25:38.

parliament building extending a warm and almost exclusively female

:25:38.:25:44.

welcome to Harry. He, though, was not to be diverted from the serious

:25:44.:25:48.

matter of landmines. It was a cause famously taken up by his late

:25:48.:25:52.

mother, Diana, who supported the clearance charity and it was of her

:25:52.:25:57.

that he spoke. My mother, who believed passionately in this cause,

:25:57.:26:02.

would be so proud of my association with it, and in her special way, she

:26:02.:26:08.

adopted as their own. She would join me, along with you all, I'm sure,

:26:09.:26:15.

praising you for the amazing work done in the past quarter-century.

:26:15.:26:19.

is in the USA for one week, concentrating in particular on the

:26:19.:26:21.

shared sacrifice of British and American armed forces. At the White

:26:21.:26:27.

House, he unexpectedly joined Michelle Obama and military mothers

:26:27.:26:32.

and children. Well? Surprise X? LAUGHTER

:26:33.:26:38.

The theme of paying respect to America's military will continue

:26:38.:26:42.

here at Arlington National Cemetery where he will pay tribute to

:26:42.:26:50.

America's war dead. In the solemn surroundings of a cemetery where

:26:50.:26:54.

America remembers those who served in the Armed Forces and perished in

:26:54.:26:57.

war, Harry will go to the tomb of America's unknown soldier to place

:26:57.:27:01.

his wreath, in particular remembrance to those who have died

:27:01.:27:08.

in Iraq and Afghanistan. A global crime syndicate has stolen just over

:27:08.:27:13.

�29 million in a matter of hours by hacking into a debit card database.

:27:13.:27:17.

It's being described as one of the biggest bank heists ever. Seven men

:27:18.:27:20.

have been arrested in New York, but the US Justice Department believes

:27:21.:27:24.

they may just be a local part of the syndicate, with the ring-leaders

:27:24.:27:27.

overseas. Richard Galpin reports. New York was just one of dozens of

:27:27.:27:34.

cities around the world targeted in this highly sophisticated plot. Cash

:27:34.:27:40.

machines here drained almost $3 million in just ten hours. The men

:27:40.:27:45.

who allegedly took this money now been arrested, seven of them in

:27:45.:27:49.

total. CCTV cameras allegedly identifying one of them at a series

:27:49.:27:55.

of cash machines. Their role was comparatively simple, working their

:27:55.:27:59.

way across New York taking money out of cash machines with counterfeit

:27:59.:28:03.

debit cards sent to them by the ringleaders. And this was happening

:28:03.:28:09.

at the same time in many other countries. They become a virtual

:28:09.:28:13.

criminal flash mob, going from machine to machine, drawing as much

:28:13.:28:20.

money as they can be for these accounts are shut down. This was a

:28:20.:28:22.

21st-century bank heist, that reached through the Internet to span

:28:22.:28:28.

the globe. It was months ago the unknown cyber masterminds hacked

:28:28.:28:33.

into companies making prepaid debit cards for banks in the Middle East.

:28:33.:28:38.

Having removed the limits on the cards, they stole the data.

:28:38.:28:41.

Transferring it onto any plastic card with a magnetic strip. These

:28:42.:28:47.

were then distributed to teams around the world. And while the

:28:47.:28:51.

money stolen here in New York as elsewhere was not taken from

:28:51.:28:55.

individual accounts, belonged to the banks, the big worry now is that

:28:55.:29:02.

personal accounts could be targeted next. Time for a look at the

:29:02.:29:12.
:29:12.:29:15.

weekend. It was beautiful in the sunshine and temperatures rose on

:29:15.:29:21.

Sunday afternoon, 21 Celsius. This weekend, slightly different, more

:29:21.:29:25.

typical for spring. Breezy, cooler with showers around but don't write

:29:25.:29:29.

it off completely. Some sunshine particularly in the East on Sunday.

:29:29.:29:34.

That could be the headline for this afternoon. Sunny spells and cloud

:29:34.:29:38.

bringing showers from west to east and it's still pretty breezy out

:29:38.:29:47.

there. Not the violent winds of yesterday but it feels cooler in the

:29:47.:29:51.

breeze, and south-west England staying fairly damp. Elsewhere,

:29:51.:29:53.

between the showers, some sunshine and temperatures higher than

:29:53.:29:56.

yesterday, may be reaching the high teens in a little bit of sunshine.

:29:56.:30:01.

We will have the breeze overnight pushing in some showers. It stays

:30:01.:30:04.

fairly wet across western Scotland and the rain returns to Northern

:30:04.:30:08.

Ireland. It will be cooler with temperatures dropping to seven

:30:08.:30:13.

Celsius so a fresh start to the weekend. For some, a fairly wet

:30:13.:30:17.

start, too, particularly across the North West with outbreaks of

:30:17.:30:22.

rainfall western Scotland to start the day. A little bit dry across

:30:22.:30:26.

Aberdeen. Sunny spells in Northern Ireland and showers, and that's how

:30:26.:30:30.

it will look throughout the day. A soggy start for Cumbria and

:30:30.:30:35.

Lancashire and Wales and eastern areas could start up with sunshine,

:30:35.:30:39.

but those showers will arrive. Lots of cloud in the south-west is well

:30:39.:30:44.

and showers are never too far away. The breeze will push bands of

:30:44.:30:48.

showers across the country, and you would be very lucky to stay

:30:48.:30:52.

completely dry but between them, there will be some sunshine. The

:30:52.:30:58.

breeze will make it feel cool once again. Temperatures, 10-11, maybe

:30:58.:31:03.

into the teens across the south-east. That it will be feeling

:31:03.:31:07.

cooler by the time we get to the end of the FA Cup and if you are going

:31:07.:31:12.

to the final, be prepared for some heavy showers. In fact, right across

:31:12.:31:15.

the country through the evening. They will fizzle out in the second

:31:16.:31:21.

half of the evening. Most places becoming a little bit dry because if

:31:21.:31:25.

you look hard enough, there's a little bump in the isobars, a brief

:31:25.:31:28.

ridge of high pressure before the next weather front arrives and it

:31:28.:31:32.

will bring more outbreaks of rain across western areas on Sunday that

:31:32.:31:35.

there should at least be some sunshine for a while but

:31:35.:31:45.
:31:45.:31:49.

temperatures, 12-15. A long way from of our main story. . A woman has
