More revelations in the News of the World hacking scandal, it is

accused of intercepting Milly Dowler's phone. When Milly

disappeared friends and family left desperate messages. Now police

investigate claims the paper listened to the calls. Glenn

Mulcaire is accused of carrying out the intercepts.

It has distressed me to know the News of the World has no humanity

at such a terrible time. We will look at whether these

developments could affect News International's business plans.

A British soldier who disappeared from base has been found dead after

a massive search operation. Britain's ageing population, an

The News of the World is at the centre of new allegation of illegal

phone hacking. Police have told the family of Milly Dowler, the young

girl who disappeared in 2002 they are investigating claims that her

phone was intercepted while officers were looking for her. It

is alleged that Glenn Mulcaire, a private investigator working for

the paper. Listened to messages left by friends and family,

deleting some of them so he could make space for new ones. The News

of the World says it is shocked by the fresh revelations.

Milly Dowler, the teenager who disappeared in the blink of an eye.

It is little more than a week since her killer was convicted. But now

her family has been told a newspaper may have illegally

intruded into even her privacy. Glenn Mulcaire was a private

investigator for the News of the World. The Guardian newspaper says

according to two key sources he was responsible. It is alleged to have

happened in the desperate weeks of searching following Milly's

disappearance. Police topped up her mobile phone with credit, in case

she switched it on, but it remained off. Voice mail messages from

friends and relatives accumulated. It is claimed Mulcaire was

accessing them. Her mail box wag full. -- was full. Mum Mul Mulcaire

is reported to have hacked into her voice mails. For the Dowler family

it appeared Milly may have erased the messages. It gave them hope she

was alive. That was not to be. They have released a statement. It has

des tressed me to learn the News of the World have no humanity at such

a terrible time. The fact they were prepared to act in such a way that

they could have jeopardised the police investigation and gave them

false hope is despicable. The response from News

International, the News of the For the last 12 months I have been

staggered about how extensive this phone hacking is concerning myself.

Now the police are discovering all this new information. The Milly

Dowler case is unbelievable. You hacked the messages and then you

wipe them off so you can get more messages while this girl is dead

and they are trying to get stories. At the time Rebekah Brooks was the

paper's editor. She is now the Chief Executive of News

International. No allegations have been made against her, but she is

under pressure. This is one of the few episodes

that happened when she was editing the paper and she is clearly going

to have to answer questions g about what she knew about what was going

im-- reaction. What impact do you think this is going to have? What

this does is not to change the nature, but to fundamentally change

the character of this hacking story. When this began, this was a

fascination to people in newsrooms up and down the country, not

frankly a fascination to people in their front rooms. When it became

clear that hacking involved celebrities, interest grew, but

again thrftion a sense -- there was a sense in which the Prime Minister

and others could shrug their shoulders and think this was

something that was gripping to some. That has changed. I have come from

a function at which senior politicians were rubbing shoulders

with senior journalists. They were shocked when I told them those who

didn't know it, exactly what had happened and I'm told that that was

the reaction in News International today because this was not a story

that they found out and revealed to the police, but something they

heard about and knew nothing they insist about I'm told that

executives around the boardroom table had their heads in their

hands in part because Rebekah Brooks, who is the Chief Executive

of News International who only last week set up a series of new

procedures for dealing this this crisis was editor of the News of

the World at the time. Now, she says, I'm told, that she is she is

shocked and she knew knew nothing about it, but her friend Andy

A British soldier who went missing from his base in Southern

Afghanistan has been found dead after a massive search. The soldier

was from the Highlanders, 4th Battalion The Royal Regiment of

Scotland. His family has been informed. He left his base in

central Helmand alone early this morning something described as

British soldiers in Helmand move together and with plenty of fire

power. The missing soldier was outside the wire on his own. We

joined a patrol last week not far from where he was found dead. The

British Army had two summers of hard fighting in central Helmand.

They hope they have pushed the Taliban out of places like this.

But the insurgents are still here on the fringes of the pa patrols or

hidden among the local people. British troops know that, so was

the soldier kidnapped or did he leave his checkpoint voluntarily?

The MoD says the soldier was reported missing in the early hours.

A Taliban spokesman said he was killed in crossfire as troops

attempted a rescue. But NATO couldn't confirm any gun battle and

British forces mounted a search operation. The Prime Minister was

in Helmand today to discuss transition to the Afghan security

forces. His schedule was curtailed because every aircraft was needed

for the search. Clearly today's incident is regrettable. All day my

thoughts and prayers have been with that young man and his family and I

just said when I got here, don't bother about flying me around

Helmand province, throw everything you have got at trying to fin this

person. Afghan troops too were drafted in

to help with the effort to fin the missing man.

Unfortunately I am meeting to you on the day we missed a soldier from

which I am sorry. We were called by a Taliban

commander. They had shot the soldier, he said, because they

couldn't retreat with a captive while under fire. We thought we

would lose a lot of our own men, he told us. That's at odds with the

Taliban's official statement that the soldier died in crossfire. All

that is certain is his body had gunshot wounds. The soldier's

killing took place in an area known as the Green Zone. This plain has

plenty of cover. It has concealed and nurtured the insurgency over

the past five years. On a day when the Prime Minister arrived to

trumpet the British Army's progress in this difficult territory, the

Taliban delivered a reminder of how The former Bosnian Serb military

commander, General Ratko Mladic has been removed from the UN War Crimes

Tribunal after repeatedly shouting at the judges.

court and wouldn't continue without his lawyer. The judge entered not

guilty pleas to the eleven charges he faces.

A French novelist, Tristane Banon, says she is file a complaint

against Dominique Strauss-Kahn. Tristane Banon accuses Mr Strauss-

against him could be close to collapse.

A review into funding personal care for the elderly in England has been

welcomed by the Government. Under the proposals people with assets up

to �100,000 would not have to pay. At the moment the threshold is a

quarter of that. The report's author, Andrew Dilnot, says the

changes would cost an extra �1.7 billion if implemented now. Alison

We're living longer which brings its joys, but who pays for the help

we need when we get old? Kate is 86 and has Alzheimer's. She and her

daughter struggled to cope with no help from the social care system.

Hilary looks after her 24 hours a day, doing everything from helping

her wash to cleaning. And in future if her mother goes into a

residential home, the house would be sold to meet the bills, leaving

her homeless. Old people are not seen as

interesting or a priority. So it is left to people like me to struggle

along as best you can and there are lots of us doing it and it is

frustrating. Today's review aims to give people

certainty over what they might have to pay for care. It says no one

should have to pay more than a suggested �35,000 during their

lifetime for residential and home care. After that, the State takes

over. Currently anyone with assets including their House of Just over

�23,000 has to fund themselves in residential care. It recommends

raising that threshold to �1 hung,000. -- �100,000, but there

would be living costs in care homes capped at between �7,000 and

�10,000 a year. At the moment if they are unlucky

if they have significant care costs, they are not supported by the State

nor can get financial protection. There is no protection against this

risk. It is the only big risk which we face. We need the State to step

in and provide certainty and provide reassurance so people know

the worst case is something they can manage.

In Scotland social care is generally free. Northern Ireland

means-tests for for residential care and Wales has a similar system

to England. Reform of the English system is overdue.

Talk to almost anyone who is involved in social care and they

describe a system that's under pressure and in crisis. The Dilnot

Commission has offered its solution, the question is what happens next?

And that will be down to the Government. The commission said

currently its changes would add �1.7 billion to the social care

bill, but that would rise. The commission recognise

implementing their reforms would have significant costs which the

Government would need to consider against other funding priorities

and calls on constrained resources. Carers like Hilary want to see

decisions made soon. The Government How would the plans outlined today

work in practice, and are they really fair?

Andrew Dilnot has come up with a creative answer to an age-old

problem. How would it actually work? An elderly person's needs

would be assessed against a national framework to see what care

they require. The local council would then conduct a means test. If

their wealth, including the value of their home, exceeded �100,000,

then initially they'd be expected to defend their own care. But the

local authority also assesses how much it would have paid if that

person had not had sufficient assets. Let's imagine in this case

its �350, so our elderly person pays, as the council tots up how

much it would have spent. When that figure reaches 35,000,

responsibility switches from the individual to the state. It's

ingenious, but is it fair? The poorest people would say just �100

to their name would pay nothing. People with �100,000 could pay up

to 30 % of their assets. But the super-rich, with assets of �100

million, would fork out less than 1% of their bill before the state

steps in. The squeeze to metal takes the biggest hit. But

campaigners argue the new system is still fairer than what we have now.

What Andrew Dilnot is really trying to do is ensure that there is more

fairness for people in the middle. At the moment, as you say, people

on middle incomes lose out the most. To minimise the risk still further,

it's hoped people will buy insurance policies to cover any

care they need and, if they wish, a top-up to get something better than

the basic state provision. But this all depends on what happens next.

Will the Government Act and push this controversial scheme into the

long grass? This is an issue that is here now, it's a crisis now for

people trying to find money to pay for their own care. It's not going

to go away. We think the big message to government is provide a

clear timetable which sets out when you are going to put the reforms in

place. Tonight, Labour leader Ed Miliband said he wanted to work

directly with David Cameron and Nick Clegg to thrash out an all-

party consensus, with the government saying it would like to

see reforms implemented as quickly as possible. But there are worries.

That as so often before on this vital issue, progress will be the

victim of politics. Coming up... On the road in Libya. Are the rebels

willing to push on through to Tripoli? We have a special report

from John Simpson. The fact is that the pro-Gaddafi soldiers aren't

particularly enthusiastic about fighting on this -- and this side

are under orders not to push too far forward too quickly.

this drought, hungry, thirsty, desperate Somalis are pouring into

The United Nations say this is not a famine yet but that it could be.

At the moment, they are classifying it as a humanitarian emergency - a

situation they say is rapidly deteriorating. It hasn't rained

properly around this region but two years running. These people are

facing their worst drought for decades. Aid workers here say they

do now have an early warning system to alert the world to impending

famine. The trouble is, they say, In Libya, rebel commanders in the

west of the country say they are waiting for an uprising in the

capital, Tripoli, before making a final attack on the city. NATO has

again defended its operation, after a meeting with Russian officials

failed to resolve disagreements over the military intervention.

John Simpson sent this report from the rebel front line at Kikla, in

the Nafusa mountains. Nafusa, the magnificent mountain range

overlooking the plane that leads to Colonel Gaddafi's stronghold of

Tripoli. From this point, according to our GPS, Tripoli is only 52

miles away, close enough for this rebel commander to get a mobile

phone signal, so he can talk to his family. At present, the villagers

here have mostly been abandoned during the fighting over the last

few weeks. The rebels cleared Colonel Gaddafi's troops out of

here fast. This is the heartland of Libya's Berber people. For decades,

Gaddafi's regime has stamped down hard on their language and culture,

but now they're strange alphabet is making a comeback in the streets.

The rebel gains feel permanent. Colonel Gaddafi's forces seem to be

too weak and dispirited to recapture this territory. A number

will end fairly soon. TRANSLATION: Around a month and a

fortnight ago and says there are others who want to escape, too.

afraid that Gaddafi would kill their families? Yes, they are

afraid for that. They kill their families or they keep them in

prison. Tripoli is now only a couple of hours' drive from here

Just over there are the pro-Gaddafi forces. There's a supposedly as

Ivor by the water tower there who fires over in this direction from

time to time. But the fact is that the pro-Gaddafi soldiers aren't

particularly enthusiastic about fighting. And this side are under

orders not to push too far forward too quickly. In fact, today passed

with no firing on either side. It is frustrating for the rebel

soldiers, but they are confident that by next month they will be in

suffering from cancer. A familiar face on stage and screen, Anna

Massey also appeared in a number of Hollywood films. But she was

perhaps best known for her BAFTA winning role in the TV adaptation

of Hotel du Lac. Most recently, she appeared in one of Jimmy McGovern's

Moving On dramas on BBC One, credited as her last screen

appearance. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have spent the 5th day of

their tour of Canada in the country's smallest province, Prince

contest but Prince William's team had the edge and one by half-a-

be directed at Gretna Green. The artist says it could represent a

thistle or a Saltire. It would represent a Priam -- triumph for

public art or simply obscured the horizon? I'm looking for the X that

marks the spot where you cross the border into Scotland. For many,

it's a bit like playing tennis. You never quite know when you are in

and when you are out. For the people of dumb present Galloway,

they want to change all of that with a bit of in-your-face public

art. To assert their Scottish nationality and offer an iconic

welcome. I'm at the point way England becomes Scotland. Down

there is the River Sark that divides the two countries, and over

there is the motorway up and down which 5 million vehicles travel

each year. This is where the new landmark is going to be built. And

here is what it looks like. A giant metallic sculpture with needles

protruding, built on a rather attractive moulded piece of land.

These are the two men behind the design that they hope captures the

essence of Scotland in one, albeit very large, busy all statement.

When those 5 million people drive up the motorway and see your

artwork... I want them to be energised. To feel energy. And the

more traditional feel. This is what he means by traditional - kilts and

what does a contemporary Scottish novelist make of this proposed new

piece of branding? It's a very forward looking piece of art. It

says to the world, you can't just put this in a tiny bottle and say

Scotland is this or that. There is something indefinably definable

about Scotland. I think it's a very outward-looking and international

piece of art. The aim is to have the landmark built for the

Commonwealth Games in Glasgow in 2014. But planning permission is
