:00:08. > :00:13.Government, the radical cleric Abu Qatada suddenly gives in and agrees

:00:13. > :00:16.to leave the country. He says he will return to his native Jordan if

:00:16. > :00:26.it ratifies a treaty agreeing not to use evidence against him obtained by

:00:26. > :00:29.

:00:29. > :00:32.torture. We have a fully worked out plan to get this man out of our

:00:32. > :00:35.country, and if he goes of his own accord I will be one of the happiest

:00:35. > :00:38.people in Britain. The BBC has seen new evidence which

:00:38. > :00:39.may link the radical cleric to Islamic extremism in Denmark. We'll

:00:40. > :00:43.bring you the details. Also tonight:

:00:43. > :00:47.Against all the odds and after 17 days, a woman is pulled alive from

:01:40. > :01:43.Good evening. After defying the Government's

:01:43. > :01:47.efforts to deport him for nearly a decade, the radical cleric Abu

:01:47. > :01:51.Qatada has unexpectedly agreed to leave the country. His lawyer said

:01:52. > :01:53.Qatada would be willing to return to his native Jordan once it ratifies a

:01:53. > :01:58.treaty guaranteeing that evidence obtained through torture won't be

:01:58. > :02:08.used against him. And the BBC has seen evidence that may link the

:02:08. > :02:09.

:02:09. > :02:13.cleric to Islamic extremism in Denmark. June Kelly has more.

:02:13. > :02:17.For years he has been locked in a legal battle with the British

:02:17. > :02:20.authorities, fighting attempts to send him back to his native Jordan.

:02:20. > :02:25.The UK recently signed a treaty with the Jordanians which is set clear

:02:25. > :02:31.the way for his return. Today, Abu Qatadapoz-mac barrister stand a

:02:31. > :02:34.legal hearing when using his clientpoz-mac official name he said,

:02:35. > :02:42.if and when the Jordanian parliament ratified the treaty, Mr Othman will

:02:42. > :02:45.voluntarily returned to Jordan. have a fully worked out plan to get

:02:45. > :02:50.this man out of our country and if he goes of his own accord, frankly I

:02:50. > :02:54.will be one of the happiest people in Britain. Home Secretary has been

:02:54. > :02:57.on a mission to end the saga by gaining assurances from Jordan that

:02:57. > :03:02.evidence obtained through the torture of others will not be used

:03:03. > :03:10.against Abu Qatada. I believe these guarantees will provide the courts

:03:10. > :03:18.with assurance that Qatada will not be tried using evidence obtained by

:03:18. > :03:26.torture. In Jordan, one experienced Letisha and is still sounding a note

:03:26. > :03:30.of caution. -- politician. The fact he says he is coming will enter

:03:30. > :03:36.leaders not mean he will come. He could change his mind and find

:03:37. > :03:42.something else as a pretext not to face justice in Jordan for crimes

:03:42. > :03:46.that the Jordanian system says he has committed. Over the past year,

:03:46. > :03:50.Abu Qatada has been out of prison on bail but was sent back to jail for

:03:50. > :03:53.allegedly breaching his bail conditions. The bail terms banned

:03:53. > :03:56.him from having certain technological kit in his home but

:03:56. > :04:05.today it emerged that when police raided the house, they found 17

:04:05. > :04:09.mobile phones, three US the sticks and 55 recordable CDs and DVDs. But

:04:09. > :04:14.did he break terrorist laws when on bail by sending extremist messages

:04:14. > :04:18.to followers? This is what Scotland Yard is investigating. Detectives

:04:18. > :04:22.have seized material from his home and are summoning Internet sites.

:04:22. > :04:27.And the BBC has learned that their enquiry has led to Danish police

:04:27. > :04:31.arresting and charging a man over possible terrorist offences. In the

:04:31. > :04:36.last year, company and Copenhagen with extremist links published a

:04:36. > :04:40.number of online articles in the radical clericpoz-mac full name. The

:04:40. > :04:46.BBC has seen this material. One passage talks about jet -ists

:04:46. > :04:49.sacrificing their lives and encouraging others to follow them.

:04:49. > :04:59.It is not possible to verify whether this and all the other material is

:04:59. > :05:03.

:05:03. > :05:10.his work. June Kelly is with me now. Why has Abu Qatada suddenly changed

:05:10. > :05:13.his mind. What do you think could be behind this? Abu Qatada has been

:05:13. > :05:17.here for 20 years and his children were born here but it is understood

:05:17. > :05:20.his desire to stay in Britain, his battle with the authorities, was not

:05:20. > :05:24.because he was wedded to this country, which clearly did not want

:05:24. > :05:28.him, but because he did not trust the Jordanian justice system. With

:05:28. > :05:32.this agreement, it feels he will get a fair trial, but the question is

:05:32. > :05:36.can the Jordanians get a conviction if they do not use evidence obtained

:05:36. > :05:42.through torture about the people? Abu Qatada will have factored that

:05:42. > :05:45.in. The timescale is crucial. Theresa May has said she believes

:05:45. > :05:50.this agreement can be ratified by the British Parliament by the end of

:05:50. > :05:53.June. So then it is over to Jordan. A Jordanian minister told the BBC

:05:53. > :05:58.today that although he believes the parliament there would ratify the

:05:58. > :06:02.deal, he could not say when, so we may now be in the endgame but it is

:06:02. > :06:05.simply how long the endgame will go on for.

:06:05. > :06:08.17 days after a factory collapsed in Bangladesh, and with all hope gone

:06:08. > :06:11.of finding any more survivors, a young woman has been pulled out

:06:11. > :06:19.alive. The young seamstress ate dried food and water that she found

:06:19. > :06:28.around her, and remarkably is said to have no serious injuries. Andrew

:06:28. > :06:33.North has the story. Rescued after 17 days, the miracle

:06:33. > :06:40.moment when pressure is put into the light. Even she had given up hope of

:06:40. > :06:48.escape. Four days it had just been clear up operation, until one rescue

:06:48. > :06:52.worker spotted movement in the rubble. I was cutting iron rods when

:06:52. > :06:56.suddenly I saw a pipe moving in a whole. I looked and heard someone

:06:56. > :07:02.shouting, please save me. Immediately, called the Army and

:07:02. > :07:09.firefighters and they saw her two and confirmed it was a woman.

:07:10. > :07:16.Abandoning heavy equipment, rescuers used their hands to dig her out.

:07:16. > :07:19.They erupted in cheers as she was carried away. In hospital, the

:07:19. > :07:28.19-year-old 's astonishing story began to emerge, telling doctors she

:07:28. > :07:31.never thought she would see daylight again. It was very difficult to make

:07:32. > :07:37.myself heard. I kept banging whatever I could with my legs but no

:07:37. > :07:43.one could hear me. She survived on a tiny bit of food and sipping water

:07:43. > :07:47.but that was almost gone. Just 40 minutes after they found her,

:07:47. > :07:53.rescuers pulled her out from what was so nearly her to. Every day

:07:53. > :07:58.temperatures were in the high 30s, but her family never gave up hope.

:07:58. > :08:02.And they were there to see her extraordinary rescue. She had not

:08:02. > :08:08.even collected her first pay packet, they said, because she only started

:08:08. > :08:11.working there a few weeks ago. It is more than two weeks since the eight

:08:11. > :08:18.story clothing factory complex collapsed, and no one had been found

:08:18. > :08:21.alive for 12 days. At least 2500 people have been rescued, but more

:08:21. > :08:26.than 1000 are already confirmed dead, and they are still finding

:08:26. > :08:31.more bodies. Only hours earlier, that is all the rescue teams were

:08:31. > :08:35.expecting. Everyone is celebrating her epic escape, but no one can

:08:35. > :08:38.forget the disaster that nearly claimed her, too.

:08:38. > :08:41.A report by West Yorkshire Police has found "no evidence" that Jimmy

:08:41. > :08:45.Savile was protected from arrest or prosecution because of his

:08:45. > :08:47.long-standing relationship with the force. But the review did

:08:47. > :08:51.acknowledge failings in the way intelligence about allegations of

:08:51. > :09:00.abuse was handled and that victims were let down. One of Savile's

:09:00. > :09:05.victims today called the findings "a whitewash", as Danny Savage reports.

:09:05. > :09:09.For much of his life, Jimmy Savile lived in West Yorkshire. In his

:09:09. > :09:12.later years, he used to host the so-called Friday Morning Club at his

:09:12. > :09:18.flat in Leeds, a social gathering often attended a serving police

:09:18. > :09:23.officers. One man who was there insists there was nothing underhand

:09:23. > :09:28.going on. They acted with utmost professionalism. They never

:09:28. > :09:33.discussed police affairs. We would never think of asking favours or

:09:33. > :09:36.advice. It was not that kind of relationship. But this was in a

:09:36. > :09:41.county where since Jimmy Savile died, 68 of his victims have come

:09:41. > :09:44.forward. One was just five years old at the time. They saw that in the

:09:44. > :09:48.media and the newspapers and thought, I cannot go to the local

:09:48. > :09:52.police because they are very close to Jimmy Savile. There is no doubt

:09:52. > :09:56.that because he was a is a liberty people felt it was difficult to come

:09:56. > :09:59.forwards, but we have not found anything that suggests police

:09:59. > :10:03.officers were protecting him, or because of the relationship he had

:10:03. > :10:10.with police officers. It was because he was a celebrity, whether they

:10:10. > :10:14.would believe it or not. In 2009, Surrey police investigating his

:10:14. > :10:20.crimes at Duncroft School wrote, asking him to contact them, but the

:10:20. > :10:23.predatory paedophile then lost the details, so a West Yorkshire

:10:23. > :10:28.inspector contacted Surrey Police saying he was a personal friend of

:10:28. > :10:31.Jimmy Savile, and that, Jimmy gets so many of these type of complaints.

:10:32. > :10:35.When this Surrey officers got in touch, today's report says Jimmy

:10:35. > :10:38.Savile had told them there was a West Yorkshire inspector who

:10:38. > :10:42.normally deals with the sort of thing. It is one of a number of

:10:42. > :10:48.issues in the report now referred to the Independent Police Complaints

:10:48. > :10:52.Commission. This has left one Duncroft victim dismayed. It sent

:10:52. > :10:55.shivers through me. I thought this was over and done with when he died.

:10:55. > :11:01.That was the end of it as far as I was concerned. I never thought I

:11:01. > :11:06.would have to think about it again. All this now, it's just a bit too

:11:06. > :11:09.much. While West Yorkshire Police say there is no evidence that their

:11:09. > :11:14.officers protected Jimmy Savile, they admit that they failed his

:11:14. > :11:17.victims by not joining together information. Enquiries do continue,

:11:17. > :11:22.and we are unlikely to have heard the last about Jimmy Savile's crimes

:11:22. > :11:25.in West Yorkshire. The British Olympic gold medallist

:11:26. > :11:28.Andrew Simpson has drowned during training for the America's Cup. The

:11:28. > :11:32.sailor was trapped beneath his catamaran for around ten minutes

:11:32. > :11:35.after it capsized off the coast of California. Doctors were unable to

:11:35. > :11:45.revive him. Andrew, who was known to his friends as Bart, won sailing

:11:45. > :11:48.gold in Beijing and silver in London last year. Duncan Kennedy reports.

:11:48. > :11:53.Lapped by the waters of San Francisco Bay, the upturned half

:11:53. > :11:57.submerged catamaran of Andrew Simpson, a 70 foot vessel flipped

:11:57. > :12:00.over, trapping him underneath for several minutes. Divers and

:12:00. > :12:08.colleagues rushed in to help the 36-year-old Olympic champion but

:12:08. > :12:12.could not save him in time. The boat nosedived, and all we know from that

:12:12. > :12:21.point in that manoeuvre is that the boat ended up upside down,

:12:21. > :12:30.capsised, broken into many pieces. And all of the crew, except for

:12:30. > :12:35.Bart, were located immediately. Andrew Simpson beat the world at the

:12:35. > :12:40.Beijing Olympics with his old friend Iain Percy. The pair took gold in

:12:40. > :12:45.the Star class and became sailing superstars themselves. They almost

:12:45. > :12:52.repeated it at last year's Olympics but were just beaten by a few

:12:52. > :12:55.frustrating seconds into the silver medal position. That silver was one

:12:55. > :12:59.here off the coast of Portland in Dorset, where Andrew Simpson grew

:12:59. > :13:04.up, and where he honed his skills to become one of the greatest

:13:04. > :13:08.competitive sailors in the world. His close friend and multiple

:13:08. > :13:12.Olympic gold medallist Sir Ben Ainslie said today is a sad day for

:13:12. > :13:20.all of us in the sailing community. Andrew Simpson was a great person,

:13:20. > :13:24.it reflects sailor and a good friend to all of our team. He was all was

:13:24. > :13:28.happy on the water as well as of the water. He always had a smile on his

:13:28. > :13:34.face. This is the catamaran Andrew Simpson was in at the time of his

:13:34. > :13:39.accident. Filmed earlier, it is more a machine than marine sailboat,

:13:39. > :13:45.skimming the wave tops at speeds of up to 40 knots. Crew members wear

:13:45. > :13:49.helmets and carry small bottles of oxygen in case of capsizing. These

:13:49. > :13:58.are the Formula one cars of the sailing world. Very large boats, 72

:13:58. > :14:02.feet long. Clearly, in a capsize, serious things can happen. Andrew

:14:02. > :14:06.Simpson was married with two young children. In his wake, there is a

:14:06. > :14:16.loving family and a sporting legacy that helped propel him and British

:14:16. > :14:17.

:14:17. > :14:20.sailing to euphoric new heights. has been described as one of the

:14:20. > :14:27.biggest bank robberies ever. A global crime syndicate has been

:14:27. > :14:32.accused of stealing �29 million from 40,000 cash machines across 27

:14:32. > :14:36.countries, all in the space of just a few hours. Experts are warning

:14:36. > :14:46.that this kind of crime is becoming increasingly common, although not on

:14:46. > :14:49.

:14:49. > :14:53.global wave of bank raids in one of the most lucrative cyber crimes yet

:14:53. > :14:58.uncovered. These men are amongst those arrested for their part in

:14:58. > :15:01.what prosecutors are calling a virtual criminal flash mob. In a

:15:01. > :15:06.matter of hours, they withdrew huge sums from cash machines using cloned

:15:06. > :15:13.debit cards. The New York team were captured on camera as they toured

:15:13. > :15:16.the city, filling backpacks with cash. This was a 21st-century bank

:15:16. > :15:21.heist that reached through the Internet to span the globe. Instead

:15:21. > :15:26.of guns and masks, the cyber crime organisation used laptops and

:15:26. > :15:32.malware. It was an audacious robbery that started in the virtual world.

:15:32. > :15:36.They hacked into computers at companies which produce prepaid

:15:36. > :15:40.debit cards, already loaded with a specific amount of money, FIFA banks

:15:40. > :15:46.in the Middle East. They removed the cash limit on the cards and copied

:15:46. > :15:50.and transferred the data onto thousands of blank cards with Mike

:15:50. > :15:56.-- magnetic strips. They would this to be good to teams in more than 20

:15:56. > :16:00.countries around the world. Because UK cards depend on a chip for

:16:00. > :16:03.security, the crime would be harder to replicate here. I think banks

:16:03. > :16:08.that are not using chip and PIN already will be looking to see if it

:16:08. > :16:12.would be a sensible investment on the security side. Also, it will be

:16:12. > :16:16.a reminder to banks that they have to be very careful in defending

:16:16. > :16:19.their own back-end financial systems from hacking. Why not just a view

:16:19. > :16:24.compromised card accounts were needed to drain funds from cash

:16:24. > :16:29.machines around the world. American prosecutors said that new technology

:16:29. > :16:33.eliminated borders for criminals and that posed a serious threat to the

:16:34. > :16:37.global financial system. Seven men have been jailed for their part in a

:16:37. > :16:42.grooming ring in Shropshire which abused teenage girls and sold them

:16:42. > :16:45.on to other men. The men were convict did at a series of trials,

:16:45. > :16:55.receiving sentences of up to 18 years. The media were unable to

:16:55. > :16:56.

:16:56. > :17:02.report the link between them until the heart of Shropshire. A community

:17:02. > :17:06.of less than 25,000 people. It was here that the ringleaders, I tell

:17:06. > :17:12.Arley and Mubarek Ali befriended vulnerable teenage girls. They plied

:17:12. > :17:16.their victims with drugs and alcohol and sold them to other men. A jury

:17:16. > :17:22.convicted the brothers of 26 charges, including rape, human

:17:22. > :17:26.trafficking and child prostitution. Five other men were also convicted

:17:26. > :17:32.for their part in the sexual exploitation of children. Police say

:17:32. > :17:39.that more than 100 girls were at risk. They were able to identify

:17:39. > :17:44.quite effectively their victims. These were people who used others as

:17:44. > :17:49.commodities and used them to their own gain. They preyed on their

:17:49. > :17:52.victims at night. The youngest was 30. Some were abused in local

:17:52. > :17:58.takeaways. Others were taken to locations across the Midlands and to

:17:58. > :18:01.Yorkshire, by men that they thought were their boyfriends. We would be

:18:01. > :18:07.given things like mobile phones, they would be wined and dined,

:18:07. > :18:10.bought presents. It is everything, actually, that a teenage girl, she

:18:11. > :18:14.wants to be thought of as attractive, she wants to be thought

:18:14. > :18:19.of as something special. There is something about having a slightly

:18:19. > :18:24.older boyfriend. It actually appeals to the very vulnerability that being

:18:24. > :18:28.a teenager is about. Inspector Richard Langton has been working

:18:28. > :18:33.with the local community. All of the victims were white. The police say

:18:33. > :18:36.that the crimes were not racially motivated. It has been a very

:18:36. > :18:41.difficult time. There has been a lot of shock, in many respects, that

:18:41. > :18:45.this kind of crime was going on in an environment such as this and

:18:45. > :18:48.affecting the Pakistani and Muslim community. Police say that they

:18:48. > :18:54.uncovered a ring of dangerous predators operating in this area.

:18:54. > :18:58.They hope their convictions will deter others.

:18:58. > :19:02.David Cameron claims to have made real progress on resolving the Syria

:19:02. > :19:07.crisis in talks with the Russian president, Vladimir Putin. In a

:19:07. > :19:13.meeting in the Black Sea resort of Saatchi, annual Sandford reports. --

:19:13. > :19:16.Sochi. The body language was still awkward, but this was the most

:19:16. > :19:21.positive meeting between a British Prime Minister and Vladimir Putin in

:19:21. > :19:26.seven years. They spent two hours in close

:19:26. > :19:29.discussions on Syria, concentrating on how to get the warring parties

:19:29. > :19:35.around the table. Afterwards, David Cameron claimed they had made real

:19:35. > :19:41.progress. It is no secret that we have had differing views on how best

:19:41. > :19:44.to handle the situation. But we share fundamental aims to end the

:19:44. > :19:50.conflict, stop Syria fragmenting, to let the Syrian people choose who

:19:50. > :19:54.governs them and prevent the growth of violent extremism. David Cameron

:19:54. > :19:59.meets Barack Obama next week and will update him on Vladimir Putin's

:19:59. > :20:04.private thoughts on Syria. In public, he only had this to say.

:20:04. > :20:08.TRANSLATION: We have common interests in putting an immediate

:20:08. > :20:14.end to violence in this country and preserving Syria as an integral and

:20:14. > :20:24.sovereign state. With the Civil War worsening, Russia has been one of

:20:24. > :20:32.

:20:32. > :20:36.continued to fulfil contracts to supply weapons to Syria, although it

:20:36. > :20:41.has started to distance itself from President Assad. This is the first

:20:41. > :20:47.time a British Prime Minister has been invited to Vladimir Putin's

:20:47. > :20:50.residence. Relationships are improving and David Cameron was keen

:20:50. > :20:55.to use that to make progress on solving the crisis in Syria. It was

:20:55. > :21:00.the poisoning of Alexander Lukashenko that destroyed relations

:21:00. > :21:06.seven years ago. Afterwards, Britain ended all cooperation with Russia's

:21:06. > :21:10.security services. Today, the leaders travelled together to the

:21:10. > :21:15.venues for the Winter Olympics. David Cameron said because of the

:21:15. > :21:24.games MI5 would resume cooperation with Russia. Officials stressed

:21:24. > :21:27.afterwards that it would be a temporary measure.

:21:27. > :21:32.Police in the United States have launched a criminal investigation

:24:42. > :24:47.Afghanistan. And that means a lot here. At Arlington National

:24:47. > :24:52.Cemetery, Harry was taken to the graves of US servicemen that died in

:24:52. > :24:56.Iraq and Afghanistan, in what Americans call the war on terror. He

:25:09. > :25:16.Harry Wales. A second wreath was laid at the tomb of the unknown

:25:16. > :25:19.American soldier. Captain Wales was in an environment with which he

:25:19. > :25:22.clearly feels an affinity. At the Walter Reed military hospital, he
