:00:08. > :00:10.Heathrow's unacceptable immigration queues. The warning from the

:00:10. > :00:13.airport operator just three months before the Olympics.

:00:13. > :00:20.Passengers are left angry and frustrated as the Home Office is

:00:20. > :00:26.blamed for imposing extra security checks with fewer staff.

:00:26. > :00:29.There's at least 800-1,000 people here waiting for one person at

:00:29. > :00:33.passport control. Downing Street leaves the door open

:00:33. > :00:37.for a separate inquiry into Jeremy Hunt's dealings with News Corp, but

:00:37. > :00:41.only after he's given evidence to the Leveson Inquiry.

:00:41. > :00:45.Still on the run - detectives release new CCTV images of James

:00:45. > :00:49.Allen, the prime suspect in a double murder.

:00:49. > :00:56.Police say a massive van bomb abandoned near the Irish border was

:00:56. > :00:59.primed and ready to go. Southampton are promoted!

:00:59. > :01:09.The Saints go marching up. Southampton returns to the Premier

:01:09. > :01:17.

:01:17. > :01:20.Good evening. The company which runs Heathrow, BAA, says a shortage

:01:20. > :01:25.of Border Agency staff is causing major queues at the airport and has

:01:25. > :01:28.called on the Government to address the problem urgently. Passengers

:01:28. > :01:30.have faced long delays again this week, which the chairman of the

:01:30. > :01:38.Home Affairs Committee says are damaging Britain's reputation ahead

:01:38. > :01:42.of the Olympics. Philippa Thomas reports.

:01:42. > :01:45.This is the state of the entry point into England. One traveller's

:01:46. > :01:51.tale, from Joe, who took two and a half hours to clear immigration

:01:51. > :01:58.from Israel on Thursday. There's at least 800-1,000 people here,

:01:58. > :02:02.waiting for one person at passport control. He was one of hundreds of

:02:02. > :02:06.frustrated travellers. This was Heathrow's Terminal 5 last night.

:02:06. > :02:16.Passiers called it a disgrace. MPs say it's damaging Britain's

:02:16. > :02:17.

:02:17. > :02:19.reputation. And Heathrow's owner simply says it's unacceptable.

:02:19. > :02:21.BAA says there shouldn't be a trade-off between border security

:02:21. > :02:25.and a good passenger experience. But that seems to be exactly what's

:02:25. > :02:30.happening. The good news is that the border of the United Kingdom is

:02:30. > :02:34.strong, and will remain strong. Some disruption, sometimes, will be

:02:34. > :02:38.necessary to make sure that our country stays safe.

:02:38. > :02:44.The immigration service's union says job cuts have left too few

:02:44. > :02:49.staff to do the job properly or safely. There simply is no way to

:02:49. > :02:53.deliver the 100% secure border we are required to deliver with the

:02:53. > :02:56.staff left. There is no way this can do anything other than get

:02:56. > :03:00.worse. At Heathrow today there's been no reports of any significant

:03:00. > :03:05.delays at immigration. But that's small comfort for the immigration

:03:05. > :03:09.Minister, who has to square the the circle of low staffing and high

:03:09. > :03:14.security demands. Damian Green has been warned today he will soon be

:03:14. > :03:19.called to give evidence about this issue at Westminster. It is not

:03:19. > :03:23.acceptable that people should fly in and wait many, many hours before

:03:23. > :03:27.clearing immigration. It doesn't happen in any airport in the world,

:03:27. > :03:30.including the United States of America, which is also rightly

:03:31. > :03:34.concerned about security, and it shouldn't happen here.

:03:34. > :03:39.The pressure on the Home Office is building ahead of July's Olympics,

:03:39. > :03:44.when Heathrow will be the gateway to the Games, but the Border Force

:03:44. > :03:52.insists it has a strong plan in place to ensure Olympics' arrivals

:03:53. > :03:55.flow smoothly. Downing Street says the Prime

:03:55. > :03:58.Minister would take action against the Culture Secretary, Jeremy Hunt,

:03:58. > :04:01.if his evidence to the Leveson Inquiry suggested a breach of the

:04:01. > :04:03.Ministerial Code. But there was no sense, it insisted, in starting a

:04:04. > :04:05.separate inquiry before Mr Hunt appeared there next month. He's

:04:06. > :04:08.accused of breaching the Ministerial Code while overseeing

:04:08. > :04:14.News Corporation's bid for BSkyB. Our political correspondent Ben

:04:14. > :04:18.Geoghegan reports. Jeremy Hunt insists he's done

:04:18. > :04:22.nothing wrong, but Lord Justice Leveson says he won't give his

:04:22. > :04:25.verdict into whether or not he broke the Ministerial Code. Instead,

:04:25. > :04:31.it's the Prime Minister who will decide the fate of the Culture

:04:31. > :04:35.Secretary. Mr Hunt has been under growing

:04:35. > :04:39.pressure this week. His critics say he acted as a cheerleader for News

:04:39. > :04:43.Corp during the company's attempt to take over BSkyB. Today, there

:04:43. > :04:48.were renewed calls for Sir Alex Allen, the Government's independent

:04:48. > :04:50.advisor on Ministers' interests, to carry out a separate inquiry.

:04:50. > :04:55.longer the Prime Minister resists this, the more people will conclude

:04:55. > :04:59.he has something to hide. That he is engaged in a coverup. He must

:04:59. > :05:02.refer this to Alex Allen, and frankly, I think the integrity of

:05:02. > :05:05.his Government depends on this happening. In my view, Jeremy Hunt

:05:05. > :05:09.shouldn't still be in his post, given the evidence against him.

:05:09. > :05:13.Labour accused Mr Hunt of breaching the code Ministers have to follow,

:05:13. > :05:17.they say he didn't take responsibility for his advisor,

:05:17. > :05:20.Adam Smith, who resigned last week. They also accuse him of not giving

:05:20. > :05:24.parliament accurate and truthful information about the BSkyB bid.

:05:24. > :05:31.And they claim he gave details of a statement about the bid to News

:05:31. > :05:35.Corp before telling MPs. Jeremy Hunt will be giving evidence

:05:35. > :05:39.to the Leveson Inquiry next month. The judge didn't allow him to

:05:39. > :05:42.appear earlier than planned. His supporters insist he will be

:05:42. > :05:46.vindicated. He is going to be tested under oath, all his evidence

:05:46. > :05:51.will be published and there for everybody to see and if there is

:05:51. > :05:54.any suggestion that at some point he may or may not have breached the

:05:54. > :05:58.Ministerial Code that can be followed up. We need to avoid the

:05:58. > :06:01.muddle two-of? Separate inquiries. The Prime Minister will come to his

:06:01. > :06:05.decision about the fate of Jeremy Hunt once the Culture Secretary

:06:05. > :06:09.gives his evidence to the Leveson Inquiry. But that's not due to

:06:09. > :06:11.happen until the middle of next month, and the danger is that

:06:11. > :06:15.instead of talking about the Government's policies, the Prime

:06:15. > :06:19.Minister will be forced to spend the next few weeks defending his

:06:19. > :06:21.Minister, instead. And the Prime Minister, David

:06:22. > :06:29.Cameron, will be appearing live on the Andrew Marr Show, tomorrow

:06:29. > :06:32.morning, at 9.00am on BBC One. The United States and China are

:06:32. > :06:34.enagaged in high level talks about the fate of the prominent blind

:06:35. > :06:37.activist Chen Guangcheng, according to an American-based human rights

:06:37. > :06:43.group. ChinaAid says Mr Chen, who recently escaped from 19 months

:06:43. > :06:47.house arrest, is now under American protection in Beijing. Next week

:06:47. > :06:50.the US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, is due to visit China.

:06:50. > :06:55.Let's speak to out Washington Correspondent Paul Adams. A

:06:55. > :06:59.development that has the potential to seriously overshadow this trip?

:06:59. > :07:02.It could, Tim. There is no sign of that at the moment. In fact, a

:07:03. > :07:10.pretty studded silence from Beijing and Washington on the whereabouts

:07:10. > :07:15.of Mr Chen. But clearly this is an affair which, if it continues into

:07:15. > :07:19.next week, towards Thursday, when this set of discussions - routine

:07:19. > :07:23.discussions involving Hillary Clinton and the Treasury Secretary

:07:23. > :07:27.Tim Geithner are due to start, then it has the potential to be hugely

:07:27. > :07:32.embarrassing. The United States needs China's help on a range of

:07:32. > :07:36.issues, on Syria, on the nuclear ambitions of Iran and North Korea,

:07:36. > :07:42.so the last thing it wants is to be involved in a diplomatic row about

:07:42. > :07:45.someone who has sought refuge in the US Embassy. The Chinese for

:07:45. > :07:51.their part don't want anything of this kind going on, just as they

:07:51. > :07:54.get ready for their once in a decade reshuffle of top leadership

:07:55. > :07:59.positions. They may choose, if this all does blow up in their faces, to

:07:59. > :08:02.accuse the United States of meddling in internal affairs. But

:08:02. > :08:07.clearly this is an affair which from the perspectives of both

:08:08. > :08:10.governments is one they do not want to see lingering because it really

:08:10. > :08:19.could overshadow some important business that they need to get on

:08:19. > :08:21.with. Thank you. A British soldier shot dead in

:08:21. > :08:24.Afghanistan yesterday has been named as Guardsman Michael Roland,

:08:24. > :08:27.from 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards. He was in the Nahr-e-Saraj district

:08:27. > :08:33.of Helmand Province when he came under small arms fire. His

:08:33. > :08:36.commanding officer said he would be missed hugely by the Battalion.

:08:36. > :08:39.Detectives hunting James Allen, the man wanted in connection with two

:08:39. > :08:42.murders in Middlesbrough and Whitby, have appealed to anyone who may be

:08:42. > :08:45.shielding him to give him up. Police say the 35-year-old may be

:08:45. > :08:48.trying to change his appearance by growing his hair and have urged the

:08:48. > :08:54.public to contact them immediately if they see him. Danny Savage

:08:54. > :09:00.reports. This is double murder suspect James

:09:00. > :09:04.Allen. CCTV cameras in shops in the Scarborough area filmed him on

:09:04. > :09:09.Tuesday and Wednesday last week. That was after the body of 81-year-

:09:09. > :09:13.old Colin Dunford was found in Middlesbrough and around the time

:09:13. > :09:19.that 50-year-old Julie Davison was found dead in her flat in Whitby.

:09:19. > :09:26.Both had suffered severe head injuries. As the manhunt continues,

:09:26. > :09:30.police today had this message for anyone helping James Allen.

:09:30. > :09:35.determination is 100% to catch James Allen as soon as possible.

:09:35. > :09:39.And bring him to justice. Someone will know where he is. This is not

:09:40. > :09:45.a time for loyalty. There can be no loyalty at a time like this. Now is

:09:45. > :09:49.the time to help the police. Detectives believe the 35-year-old,

:09:50. > :09:55.who has tattoos on both arms, is still in the region. They've

:09:55. > :09:58.confirmed that he stayed in this bed and breakfast in Scarborough

:09:58. > :10:03.last Wednesday night and this evening they say he was definitely

:10:03. > :10:08.seen in Leeds, but where is he now? Wanted posters are being put up

:10:08. > :10:12.across the region in a bid to find him. Detectives say they've had

:10:12. > :10:16.numerous calls about possible sightings from members of the

:10:16. > :10:20.public in north Yorkshire, West Yorkshire and here in Middlesbrough.

:10:20. > :10:30.And they're encouraging people to stay vigilant. But for now, though,

:10:30. > :10:31.

:10:31. > :10:33.more than 100 officers are involved in this manhunt.

:10:33. > :10:36.An eight-year-old boy who's believed to have fallen into the

:10:36. > :10:38.River Wear in County Durham has been named as Ian Thomas Bell.

:10:38. > :10:41.Specialist police divers are continuing their search. It's

:10:41. > :10:47.thought he fell into the swollen river at around 7.00pm last night

:10:47. > :10:49.while playing with friends. Police have charged the man at

:10:49. > :10:51.centre of yesterday's siege in Central London. 48-year-old Michael

:10:51. > :10:58.Green has been charged with offences including false

:10:58. > :11:01.imprisonment, creating a bomb hoax and criminal damage.

:11:01. > :11:04.Police in Northern Ireland say a massive van bomb found in Newry,

:11:04. > :11:06.close to the Irish border, could have caused death and widespread

:11:06. > :11:09.devastation. The device, containing 600lbs of explosives, is thought to

:11:09. > :11:15.have been left by dissident republicans and was primed and

:11:15. > :11:19.ready to explode. Clare Savage reports.

:11:19. > :11:23.The 600lbs of explosives packed into this van weighed more than the

:11:23. > :11:28.Omagh bomb. The vehicle abandoned with the engine running outside

:11:28. > :11:31.Newry city in a remote border area. So far no paramilitary group has

:11:31. > :11:36.claimed responsibility for this latest bomb but it's thought

:11:36. > :11:43.dissident republicans are behind it. 600lbs is about about twice the

:11:43. > :11:48.size of the bomb in the courthouse here two years ago now. It would

:11:48. > :11:53.cause devastation to any town in the Province. To give you an idea,

:11:53. > :11:57.anybody within about 50 metres would be killed, anybody about 100

:11:57. > :12:01.metres would be seriously injured. Politicians are outraged and say

:12:01. > :12:04.people need to stand up to dissidents. Fundamentally, there

:12:04. > :12:08.needs to be a security and community response to these actions

:12:08. > :12:11.and we need to deal with these republicans dissidents as quickly

:12:11. > :12:16.and effectively as we can. Overnight in North Belfast a much

:12:16. > :12:20.smaller bomb was discovered under a car in a garage in a residential

:12:20. > :12:24.area. 80 homes had to be evacuated. Detectives have now left the scene

:12:24. > :12:27.and they haven't said who the intended victim was, but that the

:12:27. > :12:32.bomb wasn't planted under the vehicle of a police officer, a

:12:32. > :12:37.loyalist, or a member of Sinn Fein - the usual targets of dissident

:12:37. > :12:41.republicans. As that alert was taking place, the police carried

:12:41. > :12:44.out searches near the houses of suspected dissident republican

:12:44. > :12:54.terrorists, guns and ammunition were found. The dissidents might

:12:54. > :12:57.

:12:57. > :12:59.have been thawarted this time but the threat still remains very real.

:12:59. > :13:02.The world must help Burma make its journey towards democracy

:13:02. > :13:04.irreversible - the words of EU foreign policy chief, Baroness

:13:04. > :13:08.Ashton today as she opened a European Union office in Rangoon.

:13:08. > :13:10.It comes less than a week after the EU suspended all sanctions against

:13:10. > :13:15.the country apart from an arms embargo. Rachel Harvey's report

:13:15. > :13:20.from Rangoon contains some flash photograhpy.

:13:20. > :13:24.Another day, another VIP visitor to the cramped offices of Burma's

:13:24. > :13:29.opposition. Lady Ashton, the latest to seek the views of Aung San Suu

:13:29. > :13:35.Kyi and to offer support for the reforms under way here. There are

:13:35. > :13:38.bound to be hitches along the way, but a bit of nifty diplomatic

:13:38. > :13:43.footwork helps and a clear message of understanding that Burma's

:13:43. > :13:47.political transition is both young and fragile. We know that changes

:13:47. > :13:53.take time. They need to be well embedded and they need to be

:13:53. > :13:59.guaranteed so that people can feel confident in their own future.

:13:59. > :14:03.What can they look forward to? In much of Burma, time has stood still.

:14:03. > :14:07.Left behind by the years of isolation and corruption under

:14:07. > :14:11.military rule. There's no doubting the political reforms that have

:14:11. > :14:14.taken place in Burma over the past year or so, but if reform is to

:14:14. > :14:18.have any real meaning, then it needs to filter out to the

:14:18. > :14:23.countryside, to places like this, where the majority of people still

:14:24. > :14:27.live. There is no running water here, no

:14:27. > :14:34.proper sanitation, the only power comes from a carefully maintained

:14:34. > :14:38.generator. Even in harvest time, farm labourers like this make no

:14:38. > :14:45.more than $2 a day. It isn't enough to look after his family. He has to

:14:45. > :14:49.borrow money to get by. I want my sons to be farmers, too, he says,

:14:49. > :14:53.but I also want them to have a better life than me.

:14:53. > :14:57.For the first time in decades, that doesn't just seem like a distant

:14:57. > :15:03.dream. A new EU office, a sign that aid

:15:03. > :15:06.and expertise is starting to flow. But I put it to Lady Ashton that

:15:06. > :15:11.the decision to suspend, rather than lift sanctions, might raise

:15:11. > :15:16.questions about the EU's commitment to Burma. I hope not. And nothing I

:15:16. > :15:20.have heard today suggests that. But it does in a sense send a signal

:15:20. > :15:26.that we have only just begun here and this is still quite fragile.

:15:26. > :15:29.It's a word people have used all day. It needs to be nurtured and

:15:29. > :15:33.supported, but we also need to be sure it's for real and it's long-

:15:33. > :15:37.term. Overturning decades of dictatorship

:15:37. > :15:47.isn't easy, but there is now at least a flicker of hope that life

:15:47. > :15:50.

:15:50. > :15:56.here might slowly start to improve. Sport now. Let's go to Olly Foster

:15:57. > :15:59.at the sports centre. Only three years Southampton were

:16:00. > :16:03.in administration and relegated to League One, but they will be back

:16:03. > :16:05.in the Premier League next season. It was the final day of the

:16:05. > :16:07.Championship and they beat Coventry 4-0 to seal automatic promotion

:16:07. > :16:11.along with Reading. Rob Heath reports.

:16:11. > :16:15.Southampton's players were quick to acknowledge a record crowd. Those

:16:15. > :16:20.lucky enough to squeeze in were hoping and expecting to be flying

:16:20. > :16:24.high in England's top division next season. Relegated Coventry weren't

:16:24. > :16:29.likely to leave the Saints deflated. So it proved.

:16:29. > :16:35.Southampton struck early when this shot was deflected in by Billy

:16:35. > :16:40.Sharp. Just three minutes later Fonte made it two. The supporters'

:16:40. > :16:50.nerves settled. After After half-time The Saints

:16:50. > :16:53.

:16:53. > :17:00.marched on. Fittingly, it was Southampton's

:17:00. > :17:05.talisman, Lallana got the fourth. The fans ignored pleas to stay off

:17:05. > :17:14.the pitch. Their side had, after all, burst through the championship

:17:14. > :17:18.roof, back in the Premier League for the first time in seven years.

:17:18. > :17:21.There are 25 Premier League goals coming up on Match of the Day

:17:21. > :17:24.straight after the news. If you don't want to know who scored them,

:17:24. > :17:28.then you should know the drill by now. Wigan's great escape is still

:17:28. > :17:33.on. They were 4-0 up by half-time against high flying Newcastle. That

:17:34. > :17:37.was the final score and Wigan are three points off relegation now.

:17:37. > :17:40.Robin Van Persie scored his 35th goal of the season, but only the

:17:40. > :17:42.equaliser as Arsenal were held 1- 1at Stoke and Luis Suarez scored

:17:43. > :17:45.his first Liverpool hat trick, the third an incredible strike from

:17:46. > :17:48.just inside the Norwich half in their 3-0 win. There were four

:17:48. > :17:51.other matches today. Everton beat Fulham 4-00l. Bolton

:17:51. > :17:54.are still in the relegation zone after drawing at Sunderland. It was

:17:54. > :18:04.4-4 between Swansea and Wolves. West Brom against Villa was a

:18:04. > :18:05.

:18:05. > :18:07.rarity - goalless. It's the final Old Firm match of the season

:18:08. > :18:17.tomorrow but there were four matches today. Important win for

:18:17. > :18:19.bottom club Dunfermline against Aberdeen. Ulster are into Rugby

:18:19. > :18:22.Union's Heineken Cup Final after beating Edinburgh 22-19 in Dublin.

:18:22. > :18:25.Ruan Pienaar kicked 17 poinst and Pedrie Wannenberg scored their only

:18:25. > :18:29.try. They'll now face either the defending champions Leinster or

:18:29. > :18:32.Clermont Aubvergne who play tomorrow. That's all from the BBC
