:00:09. > :00:12.Tonight at 10: A new attempt to deport extremist preacher Abu

:00:12. > :00:17.Qatada. He is back in custody after a special commission considered the

:00:17. > :00:22.case for sending him back to Jordan. He is wanted on terrorism charges,

:00:22. > :00:25.but the process of excluding him could still take months. I believe

:00:25. > :00:29.the assurances and the information we have gathered will mean that we

:00:29. > :00:33.can soon put Abu Qatada on a plane and get him out of our country for

:00:33. > :00:38.good. We will be asking how much more time the legal process might

:00:38. > :00:44.take. Also tonight: The man who killed 77 people in Norway last

:00:44. > :00:49.year says it was an act of goodness and he would do it again.

:00:49. > :00:54.In Syria, the BBC finds more evidence that the five day-old

:00:54. > :00:57.ceasefire is failing to hold. is clear proof that the Government

:00:57. > :01:01.are not abiding by the ceasefire they have told the world they are

:01:01. > :01:06.sticking to. An unexpected rise in the rate of inflation, driven by

:01:06. > :01:10.the price of food, fuel and clothing.

:01:10. > :01:15.And Discovery, the oldest of the space shuttles, hitches a lift to

:01:15. > :01:19.its new home. I will be here with Sportsday,

:01:19. > :01:21.later in the are on the BBC News Channel, including action from the

:01:21. > :01:31.Champions League semi-final as Bayern Munich and Real Madrid lock

:01:31. > :01:44.

:01:44. > :01:48.Good evening. The extremist preacher Abu Qatada is back in

:01:48. > :01:52.custody tonight. It follows the Government's latest attempt to

:01:52. > :01:55.deport him to Jordan, where he is wanted on terrorism charges. He

:01:55. > :02:00.appeared before the Special Immigration Appeals Commission this

:02:00. > :02:04.afternoon. Abu Qatada's deportation was blocked in January by the

:02:04. > :02:09.European Court of Human Rights, which said he was not likely to get

:02:09. > :02:13.a fair trial in Jordan. It was early afternoon when the man

:02:13. > :02:18.who has praised Osama Bin Laden suddenly emerged from his home in a

:02:18. > :02:21.London suburb. For legal reasons, we cannot identify the house. Abu

:02:21. > :02:28.Qatada is still said to be a figural influence for extremists

:02:28. > :02:33.and he was back under arrest. The UK authorities were beginning moves

:02:33. > :02:37.to deport him and he was on his way to a legal hearing. Within hours,

:02:37. > :02:41.the Home Secretary was telling the Commons that a deal had been done

:02:41. > :02:45.with Jordan, paving the way for Abu Qatada to be sent back there to

:02:45. > :02:49.stand trial. British courts have found that Abu Qatada is a

:02:49. > :02:53.dangerous man. He is a risk to our national security and he should be

:02:53. > :02:56.deported to Jordan. We have obtained from the Jordanian

:02:56. > :02:59.government the material we need to comply with the ruling of the

:02:59. > :03:03.European Court. I believe the assurances and information we have

:03:03. > :03:07.gathered will mean that we can soon put Abu Qatada on a plane and get

:03:07. > :03:11.him out of our country for good. When it comes to the timescale,

:03:12. > :03:17.Labour accused the Government of adding to the delayed. There was

:03:17. > :03:20.too much drift earlier this year. We had a troubling level of

:03:20. > :03:24.confusion this afternoon. Can she assure the House that she is in

:03:24. > :03:28.control of events and that the deportation that everybody wants to

:03:28. > :03:31.see his back on track? The European Court had ruled that Abu Qatada

:03:31. > :03:35.could not be returned to Jordan because evidence obtained through

:03:35. > :03:42.torture might be used against him. The Jordanians have given a

:03:42. > :03:50.guarantee that will not happen and are promising an open the hearing.

:03:50. > :03:54.In Jordan he will face a full trial. This full trial will be before a

:03:54. > :03:59.civilian panel, with in the State Security Board. Today, Abu Qatada

:03:59. > :04:02.was before a British judge. He refused to stand up for him. This

:04:02. > :04:05.evening he was told that his bail was being revoked and he was going

:04:05. > :04:10.back to prison. When it comes to what happens next, the judge said

:04:10. > :04:14.that things could move quickly. He said if the party's act with great

:04:14. > :04:19.haste, this very long running saga could be brought to a rapid and

:04:19. > :04:23.conclusive end. So, a familiar returned to custody for a man who

:04:23. > :04:27.spent a decade battling British or authorities. Successive governments

:04:27. > :04:34.have sought to detain and deport him. Ministers now feel they are on

:04:34. > :04:38.the front foot. But tonight it was Abu Qatada who was smiling.

:04:38. > :04:42.June is with me in the studio. We have some people talking terms of

:04:42. > :04:46.weeks, possibly. Others are talking in terms of months. What is your

:04:46. > :04:51.sense of the timescale? Because this has been such a marathon, I

:04:51. > :04:55.would say on the side of longer, rather than shorter. The judge said

:04:55. > :04:58.that if everybody acted quickly it can be done and dusted in a matter

:04:58. > :05:02.of weeks. Theresa May was far more cautious. She said it could take

:05:02. > :05:06.months for the hall appeals process to be exhausted. Human rights

:05:06. > :05:10.groups are extremely sceptical about these assurances from Jordan.

:05:10. > :05:13.This has brought into sharp focus the role of the European Court of

:05:13. > :05:17.Human Rights. Theresa May said today that Britain could not simply

:05:17. > :05:20.ignore the court and break the law. But she did say this country would

:05:20. > :05:24.look at what goes on in other countries like France, Italy, to

:05:24. > :05:34.see if lessons could be learnt and perhaps laws changed here to enable

:05:34. > :05:35.

:05:35. > :05:38.the UK to deport foreign nationals A man accused of killing 77 people

:05:38. > :05:43.in bomb and gun attacks in Norway last summer has told his trial that

:05:43. > :05:46.he would do it again. Anders Breivik said he carried out the

:05:46. > :05:56.killings to defend his people and his country, and claimed that his

:05:56. > :06:01.actions were based on goodness, not Norway's most notorious killer was

:06:01. > :06:04.driven to court on schedule. One of his defence team also arrived.

:06:04. > :06:12.most important thing today is that he gets to explain why he did what

:06:13. > :06:19.he did. Once more, he punched out a salute. This, as far as he is

:06:19. > :06:25.concerned, at least, was to be his day. His voice, his words, his own

:06:25. > :06:30.twisted justification. Slowly, deliberately, he appeared around

:06:30. > :06:36.the court, resting his eyes for a moment on the public gallery,

:06:36. > :06:42.looking to see who was to be his audience. The cameras were asked to

:06:42. > :06:52.leave. He walked calmly, slowly to the stand, clutching 13 pages of

:06:52. > :07:06.

:07:07. > :07:11.the printed out statement that he For over an hour, Breivik presented

:07:11. > :07:15.us with his world view, his belief that as a white, Christian

:07:15. > :07:20.Norwegian he was no more a terrorist and indigenous peoples

:07:20. > :07:25.fighting occupation. These were not innocent children, he told the

:07:25. > :07:29.court, of the teenagers he had killed at the Labour summer camp on

:07:29. > :07:35.the island of Utoeya. They were actively working to uphold

:07:35. > :07:40.multicultural values. Yes, I would have done it again. This is what he

:07:40. > :07:44.would have done again. Some Norwegians angry that a man who has

:07:44. > :07:51.admitted to these crimes is now being given a platform to express

:07:51. > :07:56.his views. But a survivor from the island massacre he studies in

:07:56. > :08:00.Ireland -- Liverpool, Bjorn Ihler, disagrees. Some people have

:08:00. > :08:03.questioned even holding this trial? I think it is important for the

:08:03. > :08:06.survivors and those that need to live on what this to hear the

:08:07. > :08:14.reason why it happened. We have gotten to know a lot about that

:08:14. > :08:18.today. Did Anders Breivik also get what he wanted today? As the

:08:18. > :08:27.cameras focused their lenses, there was a smile. The killer have

:08:27. > :08:31.In Syria, there is growing evidence seen by the BBC that the ceasefire

:08:31. > :08:35.which started just five days ago was failing to hold. Anti-

:08:35. > :08:39.government activists accused President Assad's forces of

:08:39. > :08:42.carrying out attacks on opposition areas. There is a small team of UN

:08:42. > :08:49.observers in the country, but they admit that monitoring the ceasefire

:08:49. > :08:55.is difficult. Syria restricts access for journalists. Ian Powell

:08:55. > :09:02.-- Ian Pannell has been in Idlib province.

:09:02. > :09:08.It started early. A helicopter gunship, staking its claim to the

:09:08. > :09:14.skies, unleashing its deadly consignment at will. This is what

:09:14. > :09:18.passes for a ceasefire in President Assad's Syria. We were told

:09:18. > :09:23.soldiers were advancing into villages nearby and we were told to

:09:23. > :09:33.leave. It was a taste of the fear and panic to many Syrians have

:09:33. > :09:37.The last 30 minutes, this helicopter has been flying over

:09:37. > :09:41.this part of northern Syria, where we have been living. We have heard

:09:41. > :09:45.the sound of it firing every few moments, down into the ground.

:09:45. > :09:49.There are a lot of Free Syrian Army rebel fighters in the area, but

:09:49. > :09:51.their role so a lot of civilians. This is clear proof that the

:09:51. > :10:00.Government and not abiding by the ceasefire that they have told the

:10:00. > :10:04.world they are sticking to. More gunfire, there. Commander Abu

:10:04. > :10:08.Muhammed told us they had been shooting and shelling. There was

:10:08. > :10:13.supposed to be a ceasefire, he said, but there isn't. He and his men

:10:13. > :10:17.stayed behind, a vain attempt to defend the villagers. The area is

:10:17. > :10:22.home to thousands of civilians. People who say their only crime has

:10:22. > :10:27.been to call for freedom. Those who could get out, did. No time to

:10:27. > :10:32.collect belongings and only seconds to escape. The children of these

:10:33. > :10:42.hills already know the meaning of fear. This ten-year-old said,

:10:42. > :10:48.simply, I'm scared. TRANSLATION: What should I say? Kofi Annan is in

:10:48. > :10:53.his country, I am in my country. Killing, shelling, humiliation.

:10:53. > :11:00.What can Kofi Annan do? Nothing. Today was proof that no one can

:11:01. > :11:08.shield these children. We watched many families fleeing to safety. We

:11:08. > :11:15.watched many rebel fighters, beaten back and bloodied. It is a bullet,

:11:15. > :11:23.a bullet in his chest. The army shot at us from their vehicles and

:11:23. > :11:26.helicopters, he said. I was wounded, with two others. From what we saw,

:11:26. > :11:30.today's battle was started and finished by the Government. Kofi

:11:30. > :11:40.Annan's peace plan calls for an end to violence. But it seems the words

:11:40. > :11:41.

:11:41. > :11:45.of the international community mean A teenager who killed a pensioner

:11:45. > :11:50.during last summer's rioting in London has been sentenced to eight

:11:50. > :11:54.years in detention. Darrell Desuze was seen on CCTV smashing windows

:11:54. > :11:58.and looting shops in west London. He was also caught punching Richard

:11:58. > :12:01.Mannington Bowes. The pensioner suffered brain damage when his head

:12:02. > :12:06.hit the pavement. The 17-year-old admitted manslaughter.

:12:06. > :12:10.There has been an unexpected rise in the rate of inflation, due

:12:10. > :12:15.largely to an increase in the price of food and clothing and fuel. It

:12:15. > :12:25.rose to 3.5% last month, up from 3.4% in February. It is still well

:12:25. > :12:27.

:12:27. > :12:30.above the Bank of England target of Inflation measures price increases

:12:30. > :12:35.for a whole range of goods and services and it has been falling

:12:35. > :12:44.back since the autumn. But not now. The latest figure for the annual

:12:44. > :12:48.rate was up slightly at 3.5% in March. One reason was the impact of

:12:48. > :12:53.rising fuel prices around the economy. This transport business

:12:53. > :12:56.has been hit hard by surging diesel costs. It distributes goods for

:12:56. > :13:02.customers including retailers and it has had to put up its delivery

:13:02. > :13:06.prices. I'm sure if we continue to pass on the costs to our customers,

:13:06. > :13:09.which we have to do otherwise it means job losses or as going out of

:13:09. > :13:12.business, I am sure they will have to pass it on to customers as well.

:13:12. > :13:15.Then we will see higher prices on the High Street. All of this

:13:15. > :13:18.creates headaches for the Bank of England. Its policy makers have

:13:18. > :13:23.been saying for a while that inflation will fall steadily

:13:23. > :13:28.through this year. Most economists still agree with them. But they

:13:28. > :13:32.point out that Today's news is hardly helpful to the bank's case.

:13:32. > :13:37.It probably is a blip today. We should see inflation rates

:13:37. > :13:40.continuing to fall from here. But the poor Bank of England has been

:13:40. > :13:46.forecasting inflation would be back Biarritz 2% target for quite some

:13:46. > :13:50.years. I think it does add another element of uncertainty. It's a bit

:13:50. > :13:57.of uncertainty problem. Better news for households with the wider

:13:57. > :14:01.measure of inflation, RPI, showing a slight decline. The International

:14:01. > :14:07.Monetary Fund raised its forecast for the UK and global economy this

:14:07. > :14:10.year, helped by recovery in the US. IMF chiefs said that the eurozone

:14:10. > :14:18.crisis wasn't as bad as a few months ago, but it certainly wasn't

:14:18. > :14:23.over. Things have quietened down, since. But an uneasy calm remains.

:14:23. > :14:29.One has the feeling that any moment things could well get very bad

:14:29. > :14:33.again. Prospects for UK growth this year depend partly on consumer

:14:33. > :14:36.spending more and that is going to be difficult if inflation stays

:14:36. > :14:41.well ahead of average pay rises, continuing the squeeze on household

:14:41. > :14:44.Coming up on tonight's programme: As Bahrain prepares to host the

:14:44. > :14:54.Grand Prix this weekend, anti- government protests continue, with

:14:54. > :14:55.

:14:55. > :14:57.new allegations of human rights A controversial method of gas

:14:58. > :15:03.extraction which triggered two earth tremors near Blackpool last

:15:03. > :15:05.year can begin again - that's the decision of a panel of experts. The

:15:05. > :15:11.process, known as fracking, involves injecting water and

:15:11. > :15:13.chemicals into shale rock at high pressure to release natural gas.

:15:14. > :15:16.It's seen as a relatively cheap future source of energy, but

:15:16. > :15:26.critics are warning of serious risks, as our science editor, David

:15:26. > :15:29.

:15:29. > :15:34.In the fields of Lancashire, a new and controversial form of energy

:15:34. > :15:39.comes a step closer. This is what is called fracking, a process where

:15:39. > :15:42.the deep rock is shattered to release gas. It involves high

:15:42. > :15:47.pressure and according to a new report for the government, it

:15:47. > :15:51.caused two earthquakes last year. But the tremors did no damage, the

:15:51. > :15:55.experts say the drilling should be allowed to continue, but with an

:15:55. > :16:00.early warning system. Her by monitoring these very small events

:16:00. > :16:05.and seeing them happen all the time, we can predict the larger events.

:16:05. > :16:10.They need to use that technique. Fracking works thousands of feet

:16:10. > :16:15.underground. At the drill turning sideways into the rock. There coat,

:16:15. > :16:19.explosions fracture the formations of shale. Water, sand and chemicals

:16:19. > :16:24.are forced in, breaking open the Rock, which releases the gas and

:16:24. > :16:28.that company promises to watch for any seismic activity. We will be

:16:28. > :16:33.monitoring for very low levels of seismicity and our goals to work at

:16:33. > :16:37.levels where it won't be felt. it is hard to imagine that below

:16:37. > :16:41.these fields lie huge reserves of gas and the country desperately

:16:41. > :16:45.needs new forms of energy so for these independent experts to say

:16:45. > :16:50.that fracking can be saved is a major step forward. But what do

:16:50. > :16:56.local people think? I think they should invest more in wind turbines

:16:56. > :17:01.and solar panels. Leave the gas where it is. If it helps sort out

:17:01. > :17:06.our future fuel problems, I think it is great news. Opinions matter

:17:06. > :17:11.because fracking isn't only on the cards in Lancashire. Shale gas is

:17:11. > :17:14.being investigated in southern England, Wales and in Northern

:17:14. > :17:17.Ireland. And a Lancashire protest a believes it is not properly under

:17:17. > :17:23.control. Because it is in its infancy, and we don't feel the

:17:23. > :17:29.regulatory bodies are prepared or informed well enough for what is

:17:29. > :17:34.about to happen if it goes into a commercial stage. America has led

:17:34. > :17:37.the way in Shell Gas. Prices have fallen dramatically. That would be

:17:37. > :17:42.very welcome in Britain, but there's a long way to go before

:17:42. > :17:47.that might happen. Some shale Gas offers a bonus at just the right

:17:47. > :17:51.time. For others, climate change means we should avoid new fossil

:17:51. > :17:54.fuels. The arguments are not yet over.

:17:54. > :17:57.Britain has urged the Chinese authorities to keep politics out of

:17:57. > :18:00.the investigation into the death of a British businessman, Neil Heywood.

:18:00. > :18:04.The case has caused a big scandal in China, where a senior politician,

:18:04. > :18:06.Bo Xilai, has been removed from his posts and his wife has been

:18:07. > :18:09.detained on suspicion of Mr Heywood's murder. David Cameron

:18:10. > :18:19.raised the case today with a senior Chinese official, as our diplomatic

:18:19. > :18:25.correspondent, James Robbins, Five months after Neil Heywood died,

:18:25. > :18:29.more and more stories, accusations, rumours, are flying around China.

:18:29. > :18:34.Political intrigue seems to be making the truth even more elusive.

:18:34. > :18:39.So when the Prime Minister met the man ranked No. 5 in China's

:18:39. > :18:42.political hierarchy, it gave him an opening. I warmly welcome you to

:18:42. > :18:47.Number Ten Downing Street. For a chance for David Cameron to tell

:18:47. > :18:53.the Chinese leadership Britain expects to complete echt --

:18:53. > :18:55.explanation. What really happened at this hotel in the city of

:18:55. > :18:59.Chongqing last November? It is here that the body of the British

:19:00. > :19:05.businessman was found. At first the Chinese said Neil Heywood had died

:19:05. > :19:08.of excessive alcohol. He was very close to this man, Bo Xilai, a

:19:08. > :19:14.rising political star now brought down by accusations that his wife

:19:14. > :19:16.was involved in murdering Mr Halewood. In the Commons, the

:19:16. > :19:20.Foreign Secretary was accused of directing far too slowly to the

:19:20. > :19:25.changing stories from China, but William Hague insists that is not

:19:25. > :19:29.the case. We have demanded an investigation. The Chinese

:19:29. > :19:34.authorities have agreed to conduct such an investigation. The message

:19:34. > :19:38.from Britain is now unusually blunt. The government, by insisting the

:19:38. > :19:42.Chinese investigation into Neil Heywood's death must be free from

:19:42. > :19:45.political interference and must expose the truth, seems to be

:19:46. > :19:51.suggesting that it has real fears the precise opposite could be the

:19:51. > :19:55.outcome. And the truth, whatever it is, may be the casualty because it

:19:55. > :20:02.is the power struggle within the Communist Party which dictates this

:20:02. > :20:05.story. Bo Xilai, once on the up, was brought crashing down very

:20:05. > :20:11.deliberately by opponents of his Marussia populism. Those opponents

:20:11. > :20:16.tend to favour if greater role in the private sector, for the rule of

:20:16. > :20:19.law as opposed to greater police powers, and a greater role for

:20:19. > :20:24.civil society. There's another reason the truth about Neil

:20:24. > :20:27.Heywood's death may never be known. Within a few days his body had been

:20:27. > :20:31.cremated in China so there's no possibility of an inquest in

:20:31. > :20:35.Britain. Coroners Rules require the return of a body, not cremated

:20:35. > :20:37.Ashes. Spain has threatened diplomatic and

:20:37. > :20:42.economic retaliation following Argentina's announcement that it

:20:43. > :20:46.plans to nationalise the energy company YPF. The business is mainly

:20:46. > :20:48.owned by the Spanish oil firm Repsol. The European Commission

:20:48. > :20:54.said it expected Argentina to uphold its international

:20:54. > :20:57.commitments. As preparations get under way for

:20:57. > :21:01.Sunday's Grand Prix in Bahrain, a leading human rights group reports

:21:01. > :21:04.that torture and ill-treatment are continuing in the Gulf kingdom.

:21:04. > :21:06.Amnesty International says it has evidence of people being imprisoned

:21:43. > :21:48.as it has been for more than a year. Bahrain's Shia majority is refusing

:21:49. > :21:53.to be silenced. This is what we are seeing more and more with these

:21:53. > :21:58.demonstrations. They start off peaceful, but then young men come

:22:07. > :22:12.are charging down towards us. Formula One chiefs say Bahrain is

:22:12. > :22:20.peaceful and safe. They should tell that to the people who live in

:22:20. > :22:25.This is the image Bahrain's Sunni dominated government would like the

:22:25. > :22:31.world to see. Mini-bar Rainey's are delighted Formula One is back. But

:22:31. > :22:36.in the poor villages, this is how the graffiti artists see it. The

:22:36. > :22:40.cast during teargas is being driven by its Formula One supremo Bernie

:22:40. > :22:46.Ecclestone and Bahrain's King Hamad. As race day approaches, this man is

:22:47. > :22:52.on hunger strike and close to death. He is a democracy activist

:22:52. > :22:56.sentenced to life in prison last year by a military court. My father

:22:56. > :23:01.basically looks like a skeleton with skin on it. His daughter saw

:23:01. > :23:05.her father last on Sunday. She says he could now draw -- die at any

:23:05. > :23:08.time. Losing him would be the worst thing that could ever happen. I

:23:08. > :23:13.don't know if I could continue living without him, but I do know

:23:13. > :23:17.this is a cause worth dying for and I do know my father will continue.

:23:17. > :23:20.He is not a person who would give up. Amnesty International has

:23:20. > :23:24.declared him a prisoner of conscience and is demanding his

:23:24. > :23:29.immediate release. But Bahrain's justice minister says only the

:23:29. > :23:34.courts can decide that. I think the court will decide on this. He might

:23:34. > :23:42.be dead. I hope not. We are providing the best medical care

:23:42. > :23:47.possible. If he does die, the streets here could explode again.

:23:47. > :23:52.The young Shia Borinis who take to the streets each night apart bit

:24:17. > :24:20.unions have announced plans for a one-day strike over pension reform

:24:20. > :24:24.on May 10th. More than a million public sector workers went on

:24:33. > :24:37.Discovery, has hitched a ride to its new home - a museum on the

:24:37. > :24:39.outskirts of Washington. It was bolted onto a jumbo jet for a final

:24:39. > :24:43.flight over the capital as thousands lined the streets to

:24:43. > :24:46.watch the spectacle. Discovery was first launched in 1984 and flew

:24:46. > :24:56.more missions to space than any other shuttle, as Paul Adams

:25:05. > :25:09.short flight on top of the 148 million miles already travelled.

:25:13. > :25:18.but this was the workhorse of Nasa's fleet. More miles and more

:25:18. > :25:24.missions than any other shuttle. In Washington, tourists and office

:25:24. > :25:29.workers strained for a glimpse. It wasn't hard. Discovery making the

:25:29. > :25:35.first of three breathtaking passes over the capital. At 1,500 feet on

:25:35. > :25:38.the back of a jumbo jet, Discovery is a remarkable sight. This final

:25:38. > :25:42.fly-past over monument to Washington, Lincoln and Jefferson

:25:42. > :25:47.is a fitting end to an astonishing journey, one for the Triumph and

:25:47. > :25:53.tragedy. The shuttles have all done and something profoundly inspiring

:25:53. > :25:56.will have also gone. Just over a year ago, it was still business as

:25:57. > :26:01.usual. That is if you count taking a robot to an international space

:26:02. > :26:06.station as usual. But now it is work done and discovery is heading

:26:06. > :26:11.for this museum to replace the prototype already here. Back on the

:26:11. > :26:17.National Mall, Discovery indulged the crowd one last time. America is
