:08:45. > :08:50.April Jones last year. The jury were told Mark Bridger had approached two
:08:50. > :08:54.our girls shortly before she days period. Until October 1st last year
:08:54. > :08:58.April Jones's everyday life revolved around school, family and friends.
:08:58. > :09:03.On that evening April had been playing on her bike outside her home
:09:03. > :09:08.when she disappeared. Today April's parents Coral and Paul were in court
:09:08. > :09:13.to hear how their daughter's path was to cross with the man accused of
:09:13. > :09:17.her murder. Mark Bridger claims he accidentally killed April Jones in a
:09:17. > :09:23.road accident. The prosecution say his actions reveal something very
:09:23. > :09:28.different. He listen in the dock as the jury was told Mark Bridger had
:09:28. > :09:32.split up with his girlfriend that day. In the afternoon he viewed
:09:32. > :09:36.violent indecent images on his computer and propositioned women
:09:36. > :09:41.online. He then drove to the Bryn-y-Gog estate where April lived.
:09:41. > :09:46.First he approached two young girls, offering to arrange a sleepover with
:09:46. > :09:51.his daughter. Shortly afterwards the prosecution say he abducted April.
:09:51. > :09:59.In his police interview he told police officers it was an accident,
:09:59. > :10:03.I crushed her with a car. I don't know where she is. I wish I knew
:10:03. > :10:09.what I had done with her. I need to say sorry to her family. I wouldn't
:10:09. > :10:14.have dumped her, she was a human being. When officers said his
:10:14. > :10:18.actions had been sexually motivated he challenged them, saying, show me
:10:18. > :10:23.the evidence. Search for evidence was to become the largest in UK
:10:23. > :10:27.police history. Hundreds scoured the hills above Machynlleth, reports
:10:27. > :10:32.came through that Mark Bridger had been spotted carrying a black bin
:10:32. > :10:37.bag. What forensic teams did find was April's blood in his home and on
:10:37. > :10:41.his clothes. Today it was revealed the defence agree it matches April's
:10:41. > :10:46.DNA. Just as April's disappearance shocked the community of
:10:46. > :10:50.Machynlleth, so too have the details of this trial. Tomorrow the jury
:10:50. > :10:57.will visit the town and see for themselves the place where April
:10:57. > :10:59.disappeared. Three fellow students of the
:10:59. > :11:04.surviving brother suspected of carrying out the Boston marathon
:11:04. > :11:09.bombings have been charged with helping him. Two are accused of
:11:10. > :11:14.removing incriminating evidence from Zhokhar Tsarnaev's room. A third is
:11:14. > :11:20.said to have lied to police. Mark, what more can you tell us about
:11:20. > :11:23.these three students? All just appeared in court charged with those
:11:23. > :11:29.offences, hands and feet shackled. The lawyers of one of the men said
:11:29. > :11:33.he was horrified and shocked by the Boston bombing with. He didn't deny
:11:33. > :11:37.he had carried out something but said he didn't know what he was
:11:37. > :11:41.doing. The FBI are very detailed about what they say happened. Two of
:11:41. > :11:47.the men, from Kazakhstan, are accused of removing a black backpack
:11:47. > :11:50.from the suspect's room and putting it and a laptop in a black plastic
:11:51. > :11:56.sack and putting that in the rubbish. The third man is accused of
:11:56. > :12:01.covering this up and lying about it. The police also detail how they say
:12:01. > :12:09.it all began. They say that the three friends saw police photographs
:12:09. > :12:15.of the suspect, texted him and said, it looks like you. He replied LOL -
:12:15. > :12:19.laugh out loud, come to my room and take what you want. Mark, thank you.
:12:19. > :12:23.Bomb disposal experts have carried out controlled explosions on a

:12:27. > :12:32.short-stay car park was cordoned off after concerns were raised about the
:12:32. > :12:35.vehicle. Officers couldn't locate the driver of the van or view all of
:12:35. > :12:40.its interior. A report into the new out-of-hours
:12:40. > :12:44.medical helpline NHS 111 says the standard of service has been
:12:44. > :12:47.unacceptably low in some areas of England. The line, which replaces
:12:47. > :12:51.NHS Direct, is being phase inside across the country. The report
:12:51. > :13:01.written for the NHS England Board says although the service has
:13:01. > :13:12.
:13:12. > :13:17.improved it is still in a fragile line in England was meant to be
:13:17. > :13:22.replaced by NHS 111. But the introduction of the new system was
:13:22. > :13:28.fraught by difficulty. This call centre in Newcastle is run by the
:13:28. > :13:35.ambulance service. Like the old NHS Direct they can offer advice but
:13:35. > :13:41.also book appointments at clinics or dispatch ambulances if necessary.
:13:41. > :13:46.There are a myriad of services out there. NHS 111 is a much more
:13:46. > :13:51.efficient service to do that. north-east of England is one region
:13:51. > :13:56.where the scheme operated as a pilot scheme to make sure it worked
:13:56. > :14:00.properly. The idea is it bridges the gap where patients are too ill to
:14:00. > :14:05.see their local doctor but not ill enough to call an ambulance. It
:14:05. > :14:10.seems to be working smoothly here but the picture across England is
:14:10. > :14:20.very mixed. A briefing paper shows how patchy the situation is. It
:14:20. > :14:34.
:14:34. > :14:41.witnessed that fragility first-hand. Last month she was working the night
:14:41. > :14:46.the Manchester service went live. Callers were kept waiting and the
:14:46. > :14:51.system collapsed. Patients' health and lives were put at risk. Patients
:14:51. > :15:01.did suffer as a consequence and I am scared if they are going to do it
:15:01. > :15:07.again. Of the 46 111 services across England, seven are yet to go live. A
:15:07. > :15:12.number are suspended. I am confident it is a great service in the
:15:12. > :15:16.majority of the country. It needs to be a great service everywhere we
:15:16. > :15:22.deliver it. The NHS in Scotland and Wales are planning on rebranding
:15:22. > :15:30.their advice lines to a 111 style service. But in England, the advice
:15:30. > :15:36.for confused patients is to call your surgery.
:15:36. > :15:41.Once again, the outbreak of a new type of bird flu in China poses a
:15:41. > :15:48.threat to human health according to scientists. The H seven M9 outbreak
:15:48. > :15:54.emerged a month ago. So far there have been 24 deaths. The virus is
:15:54. > :16:00.not able to spread between people which is needed if it was to be a
:16:00. > :16:03.new flu pandemic. Fergus Walsh is here. How worrying is it? There is
:16:03. > :16:08.genuine uncertainty amongst scientists about how much of the
:16:08. > :16:13.danger is posed by this new virus. Every time a virus passes from
:16:13. > :16:19.animals to humans it has to be taken seriously. This virus has been found
:16:19. > :16:29.in chickens in all of China's 31 provinces. 126 people have been
:16:29. > :16:31.infected in the areas marked in red. It seems many picked up the
:16:31. > :16:34.virus in live poultry markets. One in five of those infected have died
:16:34. > :16:39.and many more gravely ill. This is one of the hospitals which

:16:45. > :16:51.Those infected range from toddlers to the very elderly, suggesting

:17:22. > :17:28.five anyone? Another bird flu virus still causing death in Asia. One
:17:28. > :17:33.virus is lethal to poultry but the other causes no ill effects. It
:17:33. > :17:42.makes it difficult to know which flocks are affected. Both viruses
:17:42. > :17:48.are constantly mutating. Could it trigger a pandemic? It is like
:17:48. > :17:56.rolling the dice or winning the lottery, the more you do it the more
:17:56. > :18:00.likely the mutations are to crop up. For limiting people's exposure to
:18:00. > :18:05.chickens and people's exposure is the best thing we can do to minimise
:18:05. > :18:11.the chance the virus could turn into a pandemic. Many people will be
:18:11. > :18:15.sceptical about the risk of a flu pandemic after the 2009 swine flu
:18:15. > :18:19.outbreak turned out less serious than feared. But pandemics have
