Government, the radical cleric Abu Qatada suddenly gives in and agrees

to leave the country. He says he will return to his native Jordan if

it ratifies a treaty agreeing not to use evidence against him obtained by

torture. We have a fully worked out plan to get this man out of our

country, and if he goes of his own accord I will be one of the happiest

people in Britain. The BBC has seen new evidence which

may link the radical cleric to Islamic extremism in Denmark. We'll

bring you the details. Also tonight:

Good evening. After defying the Government's

efforts to deport him for nearly a decade, the radical cleric Abu

Qatada has unexpectedly agreed to leave the country. His lawyer said

Qatada would be willing to return to his native Jordan once it ratifies a

treaty guaranteeing that evidence obtained through torture won't be

used against him. And the BBC has seen evidence that may link the

cleric to Islamic extremism in Denmark. June Kelly has more.

For years he has been locked in a legal battle with the British

authorities, fighting attempts to send him back to his native Jordan.

The UK recently signed a treaty with the Jordanians which is set clear

the way for his return. Today, Abu Qatadapoz-mac barrister stand a

legal hearing when using his clientpoz-mac official name he said,

if and when the Jordanian parliament ratified the treaty, Mr Othman will

voluntarily returned to Jordan. have a fully worked out plan to get

this man out of our country and if he goes of his own accord, frankly I

will be one of the happiest people in Britain. Home Secretary has been

on a mission to end the saga by gaining assurances from Jordan that

evidence obtained through the torture of others will not be used

against Abu Qatada. I believe these guarantees will provide the courts

with assurance that Qatada will not be tried using evidence obtained by

torture. In Jordan, one experienced Letisha and is still sounding a note

of caution. -- politician. The fact he says he is coming will enter

leaders not mean he will come. He could change his mind and find

something else as a pretext not to face justice in Jordan for crimes

that the Jordanian system says he has committed. Over the past year,

Abu Qatada has been out of prison on bail but was sent back to jail for

allegedly breaching his bail conditions. The bail terms banned

him from having certain technological kit in his home but

today it emerged that when police raided the house, they found 17

mobile phones, three US the sticks and 55 recordable CDs and DVDs. But

did he break terrorist laws when on bail by sending extremist messages

to followers? This is what Scotland Yard is investigating. Detectives

have seized material from his home and are summoning Internet sites.

And the BBC has learned that their enquiry has led to Danish police

arresting and charging a man over possible terrorist offences. In the

last year, company and Copenhagen with extremist links published a

number of online articles in the radical clericpoz-mac full name. The

BBC has seen this material. One passage talks about jet -ists

sacrificing their lives and encouraging others to follow them.

It is not possible to verify whether this and all the other material is

his work. June Kelly is with me now. Why has Abu Qatada suddenly changed

his mind. What do you think could be behind this? Abu Qatada has been

here for 20 years and his children were born here but it is understood

his desire to stay in Britain, his battle with the authorities, was not

because he was wedded to this country, which clearly did not want

him, but because he did not trust the Jordanian justice system. With

this agreement, it feels he will get a fair trial, but the question is

can the Jordanians get a conviction if they do not use evidence obtained

through torture about the people? Abu Qatada will have factored that

in. The timescale is crucial. Theresa May has said she believes

this agreement can be ratified by the British Parliament by the end of

June. So then it is over to Jordan. A Jordanian minister told the BBC

today that although he believes the parliament there would ratify the

deal, he could not say when, so we may now be in the endgame but it is

simply how long the endgame will go on for.

17 days after a factory collapsed in Bangladesh, and with all hope gone

of finding any more survivors, a young woman has been pulled out

alive. The young seamstress ate dried food and water that she found

around her, and remarkably is said to have no serious injuries. Andrew

North has the story. Rescued after 17 days, the miracle

moment when pressure is put into the light. Even she had given up hope of

escape. Four days it had just been clear up operation, until one rescue

worker spotted movement in the rubble. I was cutting iron rods when

suddenly I saw a pipe moving in a whole. I looked and heard someone

shouting, please save me. Immediately, called the Army and

firefighters and they saw her two and confirmed it was a woman.

Abandoning heavy equipment, rescuers used their hands to dig her out.

They erupted in cheers as she was carried away. In hospital, the

19-year-old 's astonishing story began to emerge, telling doctors she

never thought she would see daylight again. It was very difficult to make

myself heard. I kept banging whatever I could with my legs but no

one could hear me. She survived on a tiny bit of food and sipping water

but that was almost gone. Just 40 minutes after they found her,

rescuers pulled her out from what was so nearly her to. Every day

temperatures were in the high 30s, but her family never gave up hope.

And they were there to see her extraordinary rescue. She had not

even collected her first pay packet, they said, because she only started

working there a few weeks ago. It is more than two weeks since the eight

story clothing factory complex collapsed, and no one had been found

alive for 12 days. At least 2500 people have been rescued, but more

than 1000 are already confirmed dead, and they are still finding

more bodies. Only hours earlier, that is all the rescue teams were

expecting. Everyone is celebrating her epic escape, but no one can

forget the disaster that nearly claimed her, too.

A report by West Yorkshire Police has found "no evidence" that Jimmy

Savile was protected from arrest or prosecution because of his

long-standing relationship with the force. But the review did

acknowledge failings in the way intelligence about allegations of

abuse was handled and that victims were let down. One of Savile's

victims today called the findings "a whitewash", as Danny Savage reports.

For much of his life, Jimmy Savile lived in West Yorkshire. In his

later years, he used to host the so-called Friday Morning Club at his

flat in Leeds, a social gathering often attended a serving police

officers. One man who was there insists there was nothing underhand

going on. They acted with utmost professionalism. They never

discussed police affairs. We would never think of asking favours or

advice. It was not that kind of relationship. But this was in a

county where since Jimmy Savile died, 68 of his victims have come

forward. One was just five years old at the time. They saw that in the

media and the newspapers and thought, I cannot go to the local

police because they are very close to Jimmy Savile. There is no doubt

that because he was a is a liberty people felt it was difficult to come

forwards, but we have not found anything that suggests police

officers were protecting him, or because of the relationship he had

with police officers. It was because he was a celebrity, whether they

would believe it or not. In 2009, Surrey police investigating his

crimes at Duncroft School wrote, asking him to contact them, but the

predatory paedophile then lost the details, so a West Yorkshire

inspector contacted Surrey Police saying he was a personal friend of

Jimmy Savile, and that, Jimmy gets so many of these type of complaints.

When this Surrey officers got in touch, today's report says Jimmy

Savile had told them there was a West Yorkshire inspector who

normally deals with the sort of thing. It is one of a number of

issues in the report now referred to the Independent Police Complaints

Commission. This has left one Duncroft victim dismayed. It sent

shivers through me. I thought this was over and done with when he died.

That was the end of it as far as I was concerned. I never thought I

would have to think about it again. All this now, it's just a bit too

much. While West Yorkshire Police say there is no evidence that their

officers protected Jimmy Savile, they admit that they failed his

victims by not joining together information. Enquiries do continue,

and we are unlikely to have heard the last about Jimmy Savile's crimes

in West Yorkshire. The British Olympic gold medallist

Andrew Simpson has drowned during training for the America's Cup. The

sailor was trapped beneath his catamaran for around ten minutes

after it capsized off the coast of California. Doctors were unable to

revive him. Andrew, who was known to his friends as Bart, won sailing

gold in Beijing and silver in London last year. Duncan Kennedy reports.

Lapped by the waters of San Francisco Bay, the upturned half

submerged catamaran of Andrew Simpson, a 70 foot vessel flipped

over, trapping him underneath for several minutes. Divers and

colleagues rushed in to help the 36-year-old Olympic champion but

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

point in that manoeuvre is that the boat ended up upside down,

capsised, broken into many pieces. And all of the crew, except for

Bart, were located immediately. Andrew Simpson beat the world at the

Beijing Olympics with his old friend Iain Percy. The pair took gold in

the Star class and became sailing superstars themselves. They almost

repeated it at last year's Olympics but were just beaten by a few

frustrating seconds into the silver medal position. That silver was one

here off the coast of Portland in Dorset, where Andrew Simpson grew

up, and where he honed his skills to become one of the greatest

competitive sailors in the world. His close friend and multiple

Olympic gold medallist Sir Ben Ainslie said today is a sad day for

all of us in the sailing community. Andrew Simpson was a great person,

it reflects sailor and a good friend to all of our team. He was all was

happy on the water as well as of the water. He always had a smile on his

face. This is the catamaran Andrew Simpson was in at the time of his

accident. Filmed earlier, it is more a machine than marine sailboat,

skimming the wave tops at speeds of up to 40 knots. Crew members wear

helmets and carry small bottles of oxygen in case of capsizing. These

are the Formula one cars of the sailing world. Very large boats, 72

feet long. Clearly, in a capsize, serious things can happen. Andrew

Simpson was married with two young children. In his wake, there is a

loving family and a sporting legacy that helped propel him and British

sailing to euphoric new heights. has been described as one of the

biggest bank robberies ever. A global crime syndicate has been

accused of stealing �29 million from 40,000 cash machines across 27

countries, all in the space of just a few hours. Experts are warning

that this kind of crime is becoming increasingly common, although not on

global wave of bank raids in one of the most lucrative cyber crimes yet

uncovered. These men are amongst those arrested for their part in

what prosecutors are calling a virtual criminal flash mob. In a

matter of hours, they withdrew huge sums from cash machines using cloned

debit cards. The New York team were captured on camera as they toured

the city, filling backpacks with cash. This was a 21st-century bank

heist that reached through the Internet to span the globe. Instead

of guns and masks, the cyber crime organisation used laptops and

malware. It was an audacious robbery that started in the virtual world.

They hacked into computers at companies which produce prepaid

debit cards, already loaded with a specific amount of money, FIFA banks

in the Middle East. They removed the cash limit on the cards and copied

and transferred the data onto thousands of blank cards with Mike

-- magnetic strips. They would this to be good to teams in more than 20

countries around the world. Because UK cards depend on a chip for

security, the crime would be harder to replicate here. I think banks

that are not using chip and PIN already will be looking to see if it

would be a sensible investment on the security side. Also, it will be

a reminder to banks that they have to be very careful in defending

their own back-end financial systems from hacking. Why not just a view

compromised card accounts were needed to drain funds from cash

machines around the world. American prosecutors said that new technology

eliminated borders for criminals and that posed a serious threat to the

global financial system. Seven men have been jailed for their part in a

grooming ring in Shropshire which abused teenage girls and sold them

on to other men. The men were convict did at a series of trials,

receiving sentences of up to 18 years. The media were unable to

report the link between them until the heart of Shropshire. A community

of less than 25,000 people. It was here that the ringleaders, I tell

Arley and Mubarek Ali befriended vulnerable teenage girls. They plied

their victims with drugs and alcohol and sold them to other men. A jury

convicted the brothers of 26 charges, including rape, human

trafficking and child prostitution. Five other men were also convicted

for their part in the sexual exploitation of children. Police say

that more than 100 girls were at risk. They were able to identify

quite effectively their victims. These were people who used others as

commodities and used them to their own gain. They preyed on their

victims at night. The youngest was 30. Some were abused in local

takeaways. Others were taken to locations across the Midlands and to

Yorkshire, by men that they thought were their boyfriends. We would be

given things like mobile phones, they would be wined and dined,

bought presents. It is everything, actually, that a teenage girl, she

wants to be thought of as attractive, she wants to be thought

of as something special. There is something about having a slightly

older boyfriend. It actually appeals to the very vulnerability that being

a teenager is about. Inspector Richard Langton has been working

with the local community. All of the victims were white. The police say

that the crimes were not racially motivated. It has been a very

difficult time. There has been a lot of shock, in many respects, that

this kind of crime was going on in an environment such as this and

affecting the Pakistani and Muslim community. Police say that they

uncovered a ring of dangerous predators operating in this area.

They hope their convictions will deter others.

David Cameron claims to have made real progress on resolving the Syria

crisis in talks with the Russian president, Vladimir Putin. In a

meeting in the Black Sea resort of Saatchi, annual Sandford reports. --

Sochi. The body language was still awkward, but this was the most

positive meeting between a British Prime Minister and Vladimir Putin in

seven years. They spent two hours in close

discussions on Syria, concentrating on how to get the warring parties

around the table. Afterwards, David Cameron claimed they had made real

progress. It is no secret that we have had differing views on how best

to handle the situation. But we share fundamental aims to end the

conflict, stop Syria fragmenting, to let the Syrian people choose who

governs them and prevent the growth of violent extremism. David Cameron

meets Barack Obama next week and will update him on Vladimir Putin's

private thoughts on Syria. In public, he only had this to say.

TRANSLATION: We have common interests in putting an immediate

end to violence in this country and preserving Syria as an integral and

sovereign state. With the Civil War worsening, Russia has been one of

continued to fulfil contracts to supply weapons to Syria, although it

has started to distance itself from President Assad. This is the first

time a British Prime Minister has been invited to Vladimir Putin's

residence. Relationships are improving and David Cameron was keen

to use that to make progress on solving the crisis in Syria. It was

the poisoning of Alexander Lukashenko that destroyed relations

seven years ago. Afterwards, Britain ended all cooperation with Russia's

security services. Today, the leaders travelled together to the

venues for the Winter Olympics. David Cameron said because of the

games MI5 would resume cooperation with Russia. Officials stressed

afterwards that it would be a temporary measure.

Police in the United States have launched a criminal investigation

into a huge explosion at a tax is fertiliser factory last month that

killed 14 people, after weeks of treating it as an accident. They

have arrested one of the paramedics Texas town. The blast was as strong

as an earthquake and could be felt 50 miles away. It left 14 people

dead, 200 injured. Until now it had been treated as a terrible

industrial accident. The explosion of ammonium nitrate, a type of dry

fertiliser. Now the Texas Rangers have been ordered to conduct a

criminal inquiry. Firefighters and emergency services were quick on the

paramedic Rice read. He gave an emotional interview shortly after

the explosion. The first responders on the scene, the people that are

around, that actually making this happen, we would like to just tell

everybody that we hear you. He has been charged with possessing a

destructive device, the materials to make a pipe bomb. Officials say they

are not speculative nifty arrest is connected to the explosion, but they

are not ruling it out. Police allege that after the explosion he left a

box with the materials inside with a friend who became suspicious and

called them. They say that no evidence has been uncovered to link

the arrest to the explosion, but no stone will go unturned investigating

what destroyed the town. Levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere

have reached their highest recorded level.

CO2 is a factor in global warming and campaigners are calling it a

landmark moment. Explain the significance of this. This is

something of a milestone. It has long been regarded of this. It

doesn't really change anything overnight. If you go back over the

last 1 million years, we have natural climate change, ice age,

warm periods. The CO2 level never got above 280 parts per million. Now

we are at 400 parts per million. And its rising. So, what does this mean?

Scientist 's have known for ages that carbon dioxide can warm the

atmosphere. They are wrestling with the precise effect it could have in

coming decades. Here is the thing with carbon dioxide. Once it is in

the atmosphere, it hangs around for at least a century. Even if the

impact is not immediate, we may be risking storing up trouble for a

future generation. After last night's smiles and high

spirits at the White House, Prince Harry's American visit took on a

more sombre tone today. He paid tribute to the country's war dead at

Arlington National Cemetery, before visiting wounded soldiers at a

military hospital in Washington. He is a serving soldier with genuine

front-line experience, fighting alongside the Americans in

Afghanistan. And that means a lot here. At Arlington National

Cemetery, Harry was taken to the graves of US servicemen that died in

Iraq and Afghanistan, in what Americans call the war on terror. He

placed a wreath upon which was a handwritten card addressed to

comrades in arms of the United States of America and signed captain

Harry Wales. A second wreath was laid at the tomb of the unknown

American soldier. Captain Wales was in an environment with which he

clearly feels an affinity. At the Walter Reed military hospital, he

met some of those who have suffered life changing injuries as a result

of military service. They chatted easily, as servicemen do. He was

hearing about the latest American ideas on rehabilitation. His last

visit to the United States, with that infamous game of strip Elliott

in Las Vegas, was a personal disaster for him. -- strip

Elliotts. This time, so far, it is a very different story. For this

trip, the party prince has stayed at home. A disappointment, perhaps, for

the largely female audience that turned out to greet him at an

exhibition about landmines on Capitol Hill. They crowned the
