:02:04. > :02:09.after suffering months of abuse at the hands of Magdelena Luczak and

:02:29. > :02:35.acts of unimaginable cruelty are beginning life sentences behind bars
:02:35. > :02:40.for a murder that was shocking and deeply disturbing. Four-year-olds
:02:40. > :02:46.Daniel Pelka was killed by a fatal blow after being beaten and starved
:02:46. > :02:51.for months. His mother, Magdelena Luczak, and stepfather, Mariusz

:02:56. > :03:00.sentences that can be imposed, to reflect the evil of their crime. The
:03:00. > :03:07.couple looked on in passively as the judge told them, he was subjected I
:03:07. > :03:12.both of you to deliberate, escalating and incomprehensible
:03:12. > :03:18.brutality. For reasons which are unfathomable, Daniel became a target
:03:18. > :03:24.for derision, abuse and systematic cruelty. The scale of his suffering
:03:24. > :03:28.was truly horrific. We hope that the sentence today
:03:28. > :03:35.brings closure to this case for the family of Daniel, both in this
:03:35. > :03:41.country and in Poland. This is Daniel on his last day at
:03:41. > :03:44.school, the last time he was seen alive. He was terrified and
:03:44. > :03:50.starving. His mother bribed him not to tell teachers what was happening
:03:50. > :03:54.with the promise of a chocolate bar. But it is clear there were many
:03:54. > :03:57.opportunities to save him, opportunities that were missed.

:04:15. > :04:20.indications that things were not well with him, but these did not go
:04:20. > :04:25.further, or as far as they should have done, in the view of the board
:04:25. > :04:28.at that time. And that is obviously what we are looking at, to try and
:04:28. > :04:34.understand what it was about behaviours and systems in this
:04:34. > :04:39.particular case that did not work as well as they should. There has been
:04:39. > :04:45.a succession of terrible child abuse cases. In each of these cases there
:04:45. > :04:49.were serious questions about why agencies were not robust enough.
:04:49. > :04:54.This is about the needs of the Child leading your practice. And if you
:04:54. > :04:59.have to blow the whistle and be unpopular, and difficult as a
:05:00. > :05:05.professional, that is your role on behalf of the child. No child can
:05:05. > :05:08.defend their own rights. Adults have to do it. People here in Coventry
:05:08. > :05:13.are shocked and ashamed at what happened to Daniel Pelka in their
:05:13. > :05:18.city. In this neighbourhood, they knew Mariusz Krezolek had a temper,
:05:18. > :05:25.but they had no idea he and Magdelena Luczak could ease so
:05:25. > :05:30.cruel. They showed no remorse jeering the nine week trial. Why
:05:30. > :05:36.they tormented and murdered Daniel may never be known. -- they showed
:05:36. > :05:39.no remorse jewel ring the trial. In Poland, the father of Daniel
:05:39. > :05:41.Pelka has reacted with anger at the abuse of his son, but Daniel's
:05:41. > :05:44.grandmother has blamed the British authorities for not intervening
:05:44. > :05:54.earlier to stop her daughter from killing him. From Poland, Steven
:05:54. > :05:54.
:05:54. > :05:57.Evans reports. In his flat in Poland, Daniel
:05:57. > :06:07.Pelka's father remembers his murdered son in the only Dick Cheney
:06:07. > :06:08.
:06:09. > :06:11.has. I know who killed, and you know who killed. He expressed
:06:11. > :06:19.satisfaction at the long jail sentences imposed on the couple who
:06:19. > :06:28.killed his son. He told me that deep in his heart he wanted them to
:06:28. > :06:36.experience the same pain that his child experienced. This is the town
:06:36. > :06:43.where the mother who murdered the sun came from all stop it was once a
:06:43. > :06:48.big textile city that went into decline. Daniel's mother left her
:06:48. > :06:57.rundown home in Poland barely in her 20s. She must have hoped that
:06:57. > :07:02.Britain would offer a better life. Daniel's grandmother finds it hard
:07:02. > :07:09.to grasp what has happened. She is ashamed to show her face. She feels
:07:09. > :07:13.she has lost a grandson, and is now a daughter. She told me that her
:07:13. > :07:18.daughter had come under the spell of a new partner, but she said Britain
:07:18. > :07:26.was also to blame. How, she said, could the authorities not see what
:07:26. > :07:36.was going on? Daniel's father speaks some English from his time in
:07:36. > :07:39.
:07:39. > :07:48.Coventry. I am satisfied when I know about what is said in court today.
:07:48. > :07:52.She and he get 30 years, and I'm very happy. The family of this
:07:52. > :07:57.little boy wondering how such an innocent child could be murdered so
:07:58. > :08:00.callously by those who should have loved him.
:08:00. > :08:02.The Equality and Human Rights Commission says it's investigating
:08:02. > :08:08.whether recent immigration checks carried out at London Tube stations
:08:08. > :08:10.and railway stations amount to unlawful discrimination. The move
:08:10. > :08:14.follows complaints that people were targeted solely because of the
:08:14. > :08:24.colour of their skin. But the government has strongly rejected the
:08:24. > :08:26.
:08:26. > :08:30.suggestion that the checks are based on race. June Kelly reports.
:08:30. > :08:35.The temperature is rising in the immigration debate. This was the
:08:35. > :08:39.scene outside a shopping centre in Southall, west London, where there
:08:39. > :08:42.was an operation to find illegal immigrants. And this is the
:08:42. > :08:47.government's message to those who are in the UK but should not be. The
:08:47. > :08:57.reaction has been mixed, but the vans have propelled immigration once
:08:57. > :09:01.again to the top of the political agenda. Stay where you are.
:09:01. > :09:04.Yesterday, there were raids across the country targeting suspected
:09:04. > :09:11.illegal immigrant. It is an issue on which politicians of all parties
:09:11. > :09:13.want to appear tough. When it comes to official figures, last year there
:09:14. > :09:18.were 14,000 enforcement operations involving immigration staff,
:09:18. > :09:23.resulting in 9000 arrests. Those figures include stopping people at
:09:23. > :09:27.places like tube stations, which happened at this station this week.
:09:27. > :09:31.As they tried to root out people here illegally, it is claimed
:09:31. > :09:35.officials were focused on those from ethnic minorities. They were
:09:35. > :09:39.searching a lot of people for IDE, but mostly Asian guys. I thought
:09:39. > :09:45.that was a bit prejudiced as there are a lot of white people around
:09:45. > :09:50.this area. Anyone who did not look white they were apparently stopping.
:09:50. > :09:55.Basically they were doing racist profiling. The rules state that
:09:55. > :09:57.immigration operations must be based on intelligence. Officials are
:09:57. > :10:01.instructed they must have reasonable suspicion that someone could be an
:10:01. > :10:06.illegal immigrant before they stop them. They are told to monitor
:10:06. > :10:09.behaviour and decide if people are acting suspiciously. Now, the
:10:09. > :10:14.Equality and Human Rights Commission says it is looking at whether such
:10:14. > :10:19.street operations, as they are called, are actually lawful.
:10:19. > :10:21.Ministers are mounting a defence. They are not about the colour of
:10:21. > :10:26.someone's skin, not about their ethnicity. They are about whether
:10:26. > :10:30.they have leave to be here. We welcome migrants coming here to work
:10:30. > :10:35.or study. We have many people who have great skills to bring to the
:10:35. > :10:39.country. We just do not want people who come here to break the law.
:10:39. > :10:45.Ranged against the government, one of Labour's newest peers, Doreen
:10:45. > :10:49.Lawrence. Her son was murdered in a racist attack, and she says she
:10:49. > :10:53.intends to take up the issue. Some have said the immigration debate is
:10:53. > :10:57.toxic. With less than two years to the election, politicians know that
:10:57. > :11:03.immigration is one of the key issues for voters and they are well aware
:11:03. > :11:08.that many support a rigorous approach.
:11:08. > :11:11.The British Embassy in Yemen is to close this Sunday and Monday because
:11:11. > :11:14.of security concerns. Yesterday, Washington announced it would close
:11:14. > :11:21.some US embassies on Sunday as April caution against an unspecified
:11:21. > :11:27.Al-Qaeda threat, and it has now issued a worldwide travel alert. Our
:11:27. > :11:30.security correspondent is here. is clear there is concern about an
:11:30. > :11:34.Al-Qaeda attack in coming days, particularly fears focused around
:11:34. > :11:39.the Gulf and perhaps Yemen. Yesterday, the US said it was asking
:11:39. > :11:44.a number of embassies to close across a swathe of North at the car,
:11:44. > :11:49.the Middle East, even south Asia, 21 embassies and consulates in all. --
:11:49. > :11:52.north Africa. Today, it issued travel advice to citizens in the
:11:52. > :11:57.Middle East and North Africa warning of the potential of an Al-Qaeda
:11:57. > :12:01.attack in August, and now the UK has asked its embassy in Yemen to close
:12:01. > :12:06.on Sunday and Monday, and also asked embassies in other countries in the
:12:06. > :12:11.Gulf to increase their vigilance. What lies behind this it appears is
:12:11. > :12:14.intelligence of a possible threat from Al-Qaeda, an attack on the
:12:14. > :12:20.final stages, perhaps emanating from Al-Qaeda in the Arabian peninsular,
:12:20. > :12:24.based in Yemen. It is clear there is real intelligence about this, but
:12:24. > :12:29.perhaps not specific intelligence about a potential target, hence why
:12:29. > :12:33.the US has issued such a blanket warning to embassies in a region
:12:33. > :12:35.across the Middle East and North Africa. Real concern, but not
:12:35. > :12:38.necessarily clear what the target might be.

:13:49. > :13:57.with the word "bank" and probably, regrettably, with RBS, that is the
:13:57. > :14:03.issue he must address. Judging by the stock market's reaction to the

:16:25. > :16:30.results from the election aren't in yet but Robert Mugabe's ZANU-PF
:16:30. > :16:35.party looks to have won by a large margin. African observer missions

:18:40. > :18:44.begun test drilling for oil at a site in West Sussex after nine days

:19:10. > :19:16.morning, drilling for oil finally began. We do want to drill an ex
:19:16. > :19:22.mrorgs well. There has been one drilled on the same site in 1986. It
:19:22. > :19:27.didn't cause any issues I am aware of. There have been 50 other wells
:19:27. > :19:30.in Sussex which haven't caused any issues. We are not en dangerering

:19:50. > :19:52.clear could cause earthquakes and pollute the water supply. They are
:19:52. > :19:57.saying there is no evidence of any harm or water contamination. It is

:20:06. > :20:13.action. This is what they are worried B Caudrilla plans to drill
:20:13. > :20:21.down 3,000 feet. If they find oil, they may seek to high draw ically
:20:21. > :20:24.fracture the well. That involves injecting water particles and sand
:20:24. > :20:28.under pressure into the soil to flush it back up to the surface. It

:21:18. > :21:23.really what it is all about. This is oil that was pulled out of the
:21:23. > :21:29.ground at a site not far from here in West Sussex. Caudrilla will argue
:21:29. > :21:34.we need to use techniques like fracking to get more of this out of
:21:34. > :21:39.the ground to meet our energy needs. The question being played out here
:21:39. > :21:42.in Balcombe, in microcosm is - do we as a society want that to happen? As
:21:42. > :21:46.prices rise and incomes are squeezed, it's becoming increasingly
:21:46. > :21:50.difficult for most people to make ends meet, according to a major new
:21:50. > :21:54.report. It found that over half of adults in the UK are struggling to
:21:54. > :21:58.pay their bills. That compares to seven years ago,
:21:58. > :22:02.before the banking crash, when 35% said they found it hard to keep up
:22:02. > :22:07.payments. There are signs that the economic is
:22:07. > :22:11.on the mend but with prices high, and money still tight, most people
:22:11. > :22:15.say they're struggling to cope and the pressure is building on streets
:22:15. > :22:18.across the UK. Families are feeling the heat and so
:22:18. > :22:23.are businesses which serve them, like this chip shop in Crewe, which
:22:23. > :22:29.is offering more affordable fish strips, also a potato fritter in a
:22:29. > :22:36.bap for just 30p because customers have tire actually no cash by the
:22:36. > :22:41.end of the month. The money in your till goes from �10 and �20 down to
:22:41. > :22:45.pound coins and �5 notes. You see it on a monthly basis. Many more people
:22:45. > :22:51.across the UK are running out of money finding it hard it make ends
:22:51. > :22:54.meet. Back in 2006, before the financial crisis, 35% of adults said
:22:54. > :23:00.they were struggling to keep up with their bills and their credit
:23:00. > :23:04.commitments. Now it's 52% when asked the same question, who say they are
:23:04. > :23:09.struggling. In some parts of the UK, it's even worse than that. The
:23:09. > :23:13.English region, where it is highest is the north-west. At 60%. But
:23:13. > :23:16.Northern Ireland is even higher than that, with 66% saying they're
:23:16. > :23:21.struggling and even in the West Midlands, which has the lowest
:23:21. > :23:26.figure, 44% are still under severe financial pressure. London, Wales,
:23:26. > :23:29.Scotland are all about average. The research indicates that hundreds of
:23:29. > :23:33.thousands, like Rachael, a bar manager in Crewe are struggling,
:23:34. > :23:39.even though they aren't on low incomes. She and her partner make
:23:39. > :23:43.nearly �40,000 between them but can't afford childcare, so work
:23:43. > :23:48.opposite shifts. All we do is work, go home, work, go home, there is
:23:48. > :23:52.nothing else other than working. In itself, it is a lovely thing to do,
:23:52. > :23:57.but it is all we do. Rachael is hoping things will get better but it
:23:57. > :24:01.is likely to take time. Earnings have not kept up in line with
:24:01. > :24:05.inflation. That makes us all feel worse off. Over the next few years,
:24:05. > :24:09.those on benefits are also going to feel a particular additional
:24:09. > :24:12.squeeze, as cuts are introduced. People do find ways to manage. There
:24:12. > :24:15.was news today that bankruptcy are falling but there is still a squeeze
:24:15. > :24:20.on family budgets throughout the on family budgets throughout the
:24:20. > :24:23.country. In cricket, Australia have been
:24:23. > :24:31.fighting back on the second day of the Second Test in Manchester
:24:31. > :24:34.following a brilliant performance from their captain, Michael Clarke.
:24:34. > :24:39.Good morning, welcome to sunny Manchester. The Manchester morning
:24:39. > :24:43.came with a weather-warning. Forecasts for Australia, rawedant.
:24:43. > :24:46.Another great day. At the crease, Michael Clarke,
:24:46. > :24:49.Australia's captain. He had already had a century. Now he could make
:24:49. > :24:55.England suffer. Australia had been waiting for this. England were out
:24:55. > :25:03.of ideas. Steve Smith got himself out. He still took some catching,
:25:03. > :25:08.though. Time at last to welcome a new batsman to the crease. Listen.
:25:08. > :25:14.BOOS David Warner, everyone's favourite villain. The moon tried to
:25:14. > :25:21.punch England's Joe Root in a pub. The crowd had not forgotten. A
:25:21. > :25:26.precious review was wasted, when clearly out. Clarke, all class, had
:25:26. > :25:32.made 187 when England got rid of him. So Clarke gone but England's
:25:32. > :25:38.rose still wilting. Australia were still batting by tea. They were past
:25:38. > :25:42.500. It got worse when Australia decided to bowl. Joe Root gone.
:25:42. > :25:46.Bresnan came out, didn't survive and didn't review his wicket. Australia
:25:46. > :25:52.were an inch away from running out Alastair Cook. They have the victory
:25:52. > :25:54.scent again. It may require rain to distract them.
:25:54. > :25:59.The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have formally registered the birth
:25:59. > :26:02.of their son, Prince George. The registrar for Westminster City
:26:03. > :26:05.Council travelled to Kensington Palace for the signatures on the
:26:05. > :26:09.birth certificate and in the section where the parents have to put their
:26:09. > :26:14.occupation, his mother put simply "Princess."
:26:14. > :26:18.With British and other NATO combat troops due to leave Afghanistan by
:26:18. > :26:23.the end of next year, Afghanistan is boosting its own military forces,
:26:23. > :26:26.including building a new Air Force virtually from scratch. In an
:26:26. > :26:32.unexpected breakthrough for women's right, among the recruits is the
:26:32. > :26:35.first woman in the country to qualify as an airline pilot. She's
:26:35. > :26:43.dreamt of this moment since childhood. Today, Nilofer Rahmani is
:26:43. > :26:48.ready to take to the skies. Afghanistan's first female aeroplane
:26:48. > :26:54.pilot is blazing a trail for the women of her country but reaching
:26:54. > :27:00.these heady heights hasn't been easy. It was difficult because you
:27:00. > :27:06.know the female situation, and the roles for women here. I just want to
:27:06. > :27:13.change the culture or the old minds that we can do it. I want to do it.
:27:13. > :27:20.She's joining a military operation which is at a crucial stage, with
:27:20. > :27:23.NATO combat troops due to leave by the end of last year. The of a
:27:23. > :27:27.Afghan s are taking the lead role in fighting insurgents. Women have
:27:27. > :27:34.played a part in Afghan security forces for many years but still make
:27:35. > :27:39.up less than 1 # % of the total. -- 1%. When she became her country's
:27:39. > :27:44.first helicopter pilot, this woman had to battle overwhelming
:27:44. > :27:48.prejudice. Now she's calling on women to join up. TRANSLATION:
:27:48. > :27:54.Afghanistan women, the future of this country is in your hands. We
:27:54. > :28:02.have to work shoulder-to-shoulder to build this country. The command ers
:28:03. > :28:06.claim their contribution is valued. We are very proud of them. Afghan
:28:07. > :28:11.women are showing what Afghan men can do for their country. Women in
:28:11. > :28:13.this country are still largely treated as second class citizens. A
:28:13. > :28:18.recent United Nations report described their conditions as among
:28:18. > :28:22.the wost in the world. Here in Kabul -- cost. Here in Kabul it's
:28:22. > :28:26.estimated that less than two dozen females drive a car which makes
:28:26. > :28:33.Nilofer Rahmani achievement even more remarkable. She's not taking
