Good evening. Three British soldiers have died in Afghanistan after their

:01:37.:01:40.

vehicle was hit by a roadside bomb. Corporal William Savage, Fusilier

:01:40.:01:43.

Samuel Flint and Private Robert Hetherington, all from the Royal

:01:43.:01:45.

Regiment of Scotland, were travelling in a heavily armoured

mastiff, thought to be the safest vehicle the Army in Afghanistan has

:01:48.:01:56.

ever had. Six other soldiers were injured. Our defence correspondent,

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 294 seconds

:02:06.:07:01.

Caroline Wyatt, has more. The three in 1967 he raped a 15-year-old girl.

:07:01.:07:05.

The actor was arrested early this morning at his home in Wilmslow. He

:07:06.:07:09.

spent the day being questioned about two rapes which are said to have

:07:09.:07:15.

happened in the Lancashire town of Haslingden between April and July

:07:15.:07:21.

1967. . If someone has done something wrong... Bill Roache did

:07:21.:07:26.

an interview with a New Zealand TV channel in March in which he called

:07:26.:07:30.

for anonymity for those accused of sex crimes. Anybody can make an

:07:30.:07:34.

allegation but until it is proven or at least goes to court there should

:07:34.:07:40.

be anonymity for both parties. These people are instantly Stig mall tied.

:07:40.:07:47.

Some will be innocent, some will not. This was Bill Roache being

:07:47.:07:51.

shown the design of the new Coronation set which is being built

:07:51.:07:54.

in Salford. He is not currently appearing in the soap and it is

:07:54.:07:59.

understood he will stay off screen while legal proceedings against him

:07:59.:08:04.

are ongoing. Tonight the Crown Prosecution Service has said that

:08:04.:08:09.

there's both sufficient evidence and enough public interest to justify

:08:09.:08:14.

bringing these charges. As for Bill Roache himself, he's made no comment

:08:14.:08:18.

so far. We understand he is due to issue a statement tomorrow. He is

:08:18.:08:23.

due to appear in court later this month.

:08:23.:08:27.

The trial of the man accused of murdering April Jones has been told

:08:27.:08:32.

that brood found at his home matches that -- blood found at his home

:08:32.:08:37.

matches that of the five-year-old. He denies abducting and murdering

:08:37.:08:45.

April Jones last year. The jury were told Mark Bridger had approached two

:08:45.:08:50.

our girls shortly before she days period. Until October 1st last year

:08:50.:08:54.

April Jones's everyday life revolved around school, family and friends.

:08:54.:08:58.

On that evening April had been playing on her bike outside her home

:08:58.:09:03.

when she disappeared. Today April's parents Coral and Paul were in court

:09:03.:09:08.

to hear how their daughter's path was to cross with the man accused of

:09:08.:09:13.

her murder. Mark Bridger claims he accidentally killed April Jones in a

:09:13.:09:17.

road accident. The prosecution say his actions reveal something very

:09:17.:09:23.

different. He listen in the dock as the jury was told Mark Bridger had

:09:23.:09:28.

split up with his girlfriend that day. In the afternoon he viewed

:09:28.:09:32.

violent indecent images on his computer and propositioned women

:09:32.:09:36.

online. He then drove to the Bryn-y-Gog estate where April lived.

:09:36.:09:41.

First he approached two young girls, offering to arrange a sleepover with

:09:41.:09:46.

his daughter. Shortly afterwards the prosecution say he abducted April.

:09:46.:09:51.

In his police interview he told police officers it was an accident,

:09:51.:09:59.

I crushed her with a car. I don't know where she is. I wish I knew

:09:59.:10:03.

what I had done with her. I need to say sorry to her family. I wouldn't

:10:03.:10:09.

have dumped her, she was a human being. When officers said his

:10:09.:10:14.

actions had been sexually motivated he challenged them, saying, show me

:10:14.:10:18.

the evidence. Search for evidence was to become the largest in UK

:10:18.:10:23.

police history. Hundreds scoured the hills above Machynlleth, reports

:10:23.:10:27.

came through that Mark Bridger had been spotted carrying a black bin

:10:27.:10:32.

bag. What forensic teams did find was April's blood in his home and on

:10:32.:10:37.

his clothes. Today it was revealed the defence agree it matches April's

:10:37.:10:41.

DNA. Just as April's disappearance shocked the community of

:10:41.:10:46.

Machynlleth, so too have the details of this trial. Tomorrow the jury

:10:46.:10:50.

will visit the town and see for themselves the place where April

:10:50.:10:57.

disappeared. Three fellow students of the

:10:57.:10:59.

surviving brother suspected of carrying out the Boston marathon

:10:59.:11:04.

bombings have been charged with helping him. Two are accused of

:11:04.:11:09.

removing incriminating evidence from Zhokhar Tsarnaev's room. A third is

:11:10.:11:14.

said to have lied to police. Mark, what more can you tell us about

:11:14.:11:20.

these three students? All just appeared in court charged with those

:11:20.:11:23.

offences, hands and feet shackled. The lawyers of one of the men said

:11:23.:11:29.

he was horrified and shocked by the Boston bombing with. He didn't deny

:11:29.:11:33.

he had carried out something but said he didn't know what he was

:11:33.:11:37.

doing. The FBI are very detailed about what they say happened. Two of

:11:37.:11:41.

the men, from Kazakhstan, are accused of removing a black backpack

:11:41.:11:47.

from the suspect's room and putting it and a laptop in a black plastic

:11:47.:11:50.

sack and putting that in the rubbish. The third man is accused of

:11:51.:11:56.

covering this up and lying about it. The police also detail how they say

:11:56.:12:01.

it all began. They say that the three friends saw police photographs

:12:01.:12:09.

of the suspect, texted him and said, it looks like you. He replied LOL -

:12:09.:12:15.

laugh out loud, come to my room and take what you want. Mark, thank you.

:12:15.:12:19.

Bomb disposal experts have carried out controlled explosions on a

:12:19.:12:23.

suspicious van at Gatwick Airport. Part of the North Terminal's

:12:23.:12:27.

short-stay car park was cordoned off after concerns were raised about the

:12:27.:12:32.

vehicle. Officers couldn't locate the driver of the van or view all of

:12:32.:12:35.

its interior. A report into the new out-of-hours

:12:35.:12:40.

medical helpline NHS 111 says the standard of service has been

:12:40.:12:44.

unacceptably low in some areas of England. The line, which replaces

:12:44.:12:47.

NHS Direct, is being phase inside across the country. The report

:12:47.:12:51.

written for the NHS England Board says although the service has

:12:51.:13:01.
:13:01.:13:12.

improved it is still in a fragile line in England was meant to be

:13:12.:13:17.

replaced by NHS 111. But the introduction of the new system was

:13:17.:13:22.

fraught by difficulty. This call centre in Newcastle is run by the

:13:22.:13:28.

ambulance service. Like the old NHS Direct they can offer advice but

:13:28.:13:35.

also book appointments at clinics or dispatch ambulances if necessary.

:13:35.:13:41.

There are a myriad of services out there. NHS 111 is a much more

:13:41.:13:46.

efficient service to do that. north-east of England is one region

:13:46.:13:51.

where the scheme operated as a pilot scheme to make sure it worked

:13:51.:13:56.

properly. The idea is it bridges the gap where patients are too ill to

:13:56.:14:00.

see their local doctor but not ill enough to call an ambulance. It

:14:00.:14:05.

seems to be working smoothly here but the picture across England is

:14:05.:14:10.

very mixed. A briefing paper shows how patchy the situation is. It

:14:10.:14:20.
:14:20.:14:34.

witnessed that fragility first-hand. Last month she was working the night

:14:34.:14:41.

the Manchester service went live. Callers were kept waiting and the

:14:41.:14:46.

system collapsed. Patients' health and lives were put at risk. Patients

:14:46.:14:51.

did suffer as a consequence and I am scared if they are going to do it

:14:51.:15:01.

again. Of the 46 111 services across England, seven are yet to go live. A

:15:01.:15:07.

number are suspended. I am confident it is a great service in the

:15:07.:15:12.

majority of the country. It needs to be a great service everywhere we

:15:12.:15:16.

deliver it. The NHS in Scotland and Wales are planning on rebranding

:15:16.:15:22.

their advice lines to a 111 style service. But in England, the advice

:15:22.:15:30.

for confused patients is to call your surgery.

:15:30.:15:36.

Once again, the outbreak of a new type of bird flu in China poses a

:15:36.:15:41.

threat to human health according to scientists. The H seven M9 outbreak

:15:41.:15:48.

emerged a month ago. So far there have been 24 deaths. The virus is

:15:48.:15:54.

not able to spread between people which is needed if it was to be a

:15:54.:16:00.

new flu pandemic. Fergus Walsh is here. How worrying is it? There is

:16:00.:16:03.

genuine uncertainty amongst scientists about how much of the

:16:03.:16:08.

danger is posed by this new virus. Every time a virus passes from

:16:08.:16:13.

animals to humans it has to be taken seriously. This virus has been found

:16:13.:16:19.

in chickens in all of China's 31 provinces. 126 people have been

:16:19.:16:29.

infected in the areas marked in red. It seems many picked up the

:16:29.:16:31.

virus in live poultry markets. One in five of those infected have died

:16:31.:16:34.

and many more gravely ill. This is one of the hospitals which

:16:34.:16:39.

has treated patients for severe pneumonia and multiorgan failure.

:16:39.:16:44.

Those infected range from toddlers to the very elderly, suggesting

:16:45.:16:51.

humans have no immunity. Flu experts say it is a serious threat. I think

:16:51.:16:57.

we are concerned because we have to be prepared for some events. Alarmed

:16:57.:17:07.

that some viruses are concerned -- confined to one region of China. It

:17:07.:17:14.

is not spreading among humans. have been here before. Remember H

:17:14.:17:22.

five anyone? Another bird flu virus still causing death in Asia. One

:17:22.:17:28.

virus is lethal to poultry but the other causes no ill effects. It

:17:28.:17:33.

makes it difficult to know which flocks are affected. Both viruses

:17:33.:17:42.

are constantly mutating. Could it trigger a pandemic? It is like

:17:42.:17:48.

rolling the dice or winning the lottery, the more you do it the more

:17:48.:17:56.

likely the mutations are to crop up. For limiting people's exposure to

:17:56.:18:00.

chickens and people's exposure is the best thing we can do to minimise

:18:00.:18:05.

the chance the virus could turn into a pandemic. Many people will be

:18:05.:18:11.

sceptical about the risk of a flu pandemic after the 2009 swine flu

:18:11.:18:15.

outbreak turned out less serious than feared. But pandemics have

:18:15.:18:19.

killed millions in the past so the essential work to create a vaccine

:18:19.:18:25.

and track this new virus will continue.

:18:25.:18:29.

Pope Francis has described the working conditions in dude by the

:18:29.:18:33.

people killed his factory collapsed in Bangladesh last week as slave

:18:33.:18:39.

labour. The number known to have died has passed 400 and further 149

:18:39.:18:43.

people are still listed as missing. Thousands of people have marched

:18:43.:18:48.

through the capital Dhaka demanding better conditions. If other's vigil

:18:48.:18:56.

for his daughter. -- a father's vigil. Every day he

:18:56.:19:00.

returns to the complex hoping to find her. What hope can there be now

:19:00.:19:08.

as they clear the rubble? The full horror exposed of what happened when

:19:08.:19:16.

the eight story building collapsed in a pancake of concrete. His other

:19:16.:19:19.

daughter somehow survived. She stitched clothes in the same

:19:19.:19:29.
:19:29.:19:30.

factory, just feet away from her sister. I cried out her name after

:19:30.:19:34.

the building came down, she says, I am sure she was alive but I could

:19:34.:19:40.

not see her. She says she was making clothes for

:19:41.:19:45.

brands like Benetton, earning around �40 a month, money the family

:19:45.:19:55.
:19:55.:19:58.

depended on. Where did my girl go? If only I could find her. Even if

:19:58.:20:01.

she is dead at least I could bury her and then I would know in my

:20:01.:20:07.

heart I had found her. This is just one family in this

:20:07.:20:11.

immediate area which has been devastated by the collapse of the

:20:11.:20:15.

family complex. There are dozens of others who lost relatives in the

:20:15.:20:19.

disaster. People here have been coming up to us wanting to tell us

:20:19.:20:23.

their stories. The industry may have given them jobs but feeding the

:20:23.:20:29.

West's appetite for cheap clothes has exacted a dreadful toll on this

:20:29.:20:32.

community. Simmering anger over the disaster spread to the capital today

:20:32.:20:42.

with thousands: The building owner a murderer. Protests have forced

:20:42.:20:45.

factories to stop production but British companies in Bangladesh are

:20:45.:20:53.

still at work. Could they do more, I asked, to enforce better standards?

:20:53.:20:59.

We try to make sure we use compliant factories. Can retailers do more?

:20:59.:21:05.

Yes, they probably could, but it is the consumer -- is the consumer

:21:05.:21:11.

willing to pay more? As they care away the remains of the building,

:21:11.:21:14.

Bangladesh is still counting the cost with thousands thought to be

:21:14.:21:21.

dissing in the wreckage below. -- hundreds thought to be missing in

:21:21.:21:27.

the wreckage below. Campaigning for the local elections

:21:27.:21:35.

in England and Wales tomorrow. Our political editor Nick Robinson is in

:21:35.:21:42.

Westminster. What is at stake tomorrow? It will be an anxious 36

:21:42.:21:47.

hours for Mr Cameron, Mr Clegg and Mr Miliband. If you live in one of

:21:47.:21:54.

the big cities, you are unlikely to have a vote. The reason for the

:21:54.:22:00.

anxiety, what is at stake, is the foundation stone of the next general

:22:00.:22:05.

election. Of course, local elections matter for local reasons as well.

:22:05.:22:09.

David Cameron is braced for the loss of many hundreds of Conservative

:22:09.:22:14.

councillors. He knows that will cause his party a headache but a

:22:14.:22:19.

migraine will because if many of those seats and traditional Tory

:22:19.:22:24.

votes go to the UK Independence party. It will mean Nigel Farage,

:22:24.:22:32.

the man who you may think talks plain common sense or is a clown, or

:22:32.:22:37.

may become an important player in British politics. Ed Miliband has

:22:37.:22:41.

had a wobbly week. He expects to make significant gains but if they

:22:41.:22:46.

are in the wrong places people may say he is not on course for Number

:22:46.:22:52.

Ten. Nick Clegg will hope the pain has stopped. All of us will be

:22:52.:22:58.

reminded of the old saying, all politics in the end is local.

:22:58.:23:03.

A judge at a military court has ordered that an SAS sniper should

:23:03.:23:07.

face a retrial on the charge of illegally possessing a weapon.

:23:07.:23:11.

Sergeant Danny Nightingale pleaded not guilty to illegally possessing a

:23:11.:23:15.

pistol and 300 rounds of an edition. His original conviction was

:23:15.:23:20.

quashed by the Court of Appeal. One of the biggest movies of the year is

:23:20.:23:23.

expected to be Star Trek into darkness which premiers in London

:23:23.:23:32.

tomorrow. It's director, JJ a brands is with

:23:32.:23:37.

turning the franchise around. Our arts editor has boldly gone to meet

:23:37.:23:47.
:23:47.:23:48.

him -- J J Abrahams. Space, the final frontier. Captain

:23:48.:23:56.

Kirk going boldly where no one has gone before. A long time ago in a

:23:56.:24:05.

galaxy far, far away. The two most famous spaceships have one man at

:24:05.:24:14.

the helm, J J a brand. How would you go to a two-hour epic? I do not

:24:14.:24:19.

know! First of all you surround yourself with people who are better

:24:19.:24:25.

and smarter than you are. Then you start asking questions. The key for

:24:25.:24:31.

me is to try as hard as I can to not look from the outside in and ask the

:24:31.:24:37.

question, this is a story about a man or a woman and you get there and

:24:37.:24:42.

keep telling the story yourself and to each other. As soon as you look

:24:42.:24:46.

from the outside and think, the fans will like this, you are screwed, you

:24:46.:24:56.
:24:56.:24:56.

are behind. For a movie which is about technology in the future,

:24:56.:25:01.

coming from a guy who is interested in technology, there seemed to be an

:25:01.:25:06.

argument throughout where the heart ruled the head, where man is better

:25:06.:25:14.

than machine. The idea that technology can supersede or become

:25:14.:25:17.

more important than the human intellect, the human heart, there is

:25:18.:25:22.

a threat and I think when you walk down the street and everyone is

:25:22.:25:27.

staring at their screens, we are kind of living it right now. As the

:25:27.:25:36.

father of three kids, I see how technology threatens family life.

:25:36.:25:45.

This is madness. Do you worry about becoming too associated with

:25:45.:25:52.

franchises? Yes, it is one of the main reasons why I initially said no

:25:52.:25:56.

to Star Wars but it felt like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and

:25:56.:26:03.

it forced me to stop and reconsider what the rulebook was. If I take on

:26:03.:26:13.
:26:13.:26:13.
