The mother of Keith Bennett, one of the children killed by the Moors | :00:06. | :00:08. | |
Murderers, has died. Winnie Johnson passed away early this morning | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
without ever learning where her son was buried. She'd campaigned for | :00:13. | :00:19. | |
half a century for Keith's killers to reveal where his body was hidden. | :00:19. | :00:29. | |
:00:29. | :00:29. | ||
Today people paid their respects to her on Saddleworth Moor. She just | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
wanted the best for her son, like any mother would. It was very | :00:33. | :00:39. | |
difficult for her. She just carried on, didn't she, until the end. | :00:39. | :00:46. | |
In South Africa families of miners involved in the police shooting | :00:46. | :00:53. | |

the final Test against South Africa Good evening. Winnie Johnson, the | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
mother of one of the victims of the Moors murderers Ian Brady and Myra | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
Hindley, has died. Keith Bennett was 12 when he was abducted in | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
Manchester in 1964. His remains have never been found. Mrs Johnson | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
fought tirelessly to get Brady to reveal the location of the grave. | :01:38. | :01:48. | |
:01:48. | :01:50. | ||
Her family say they will continue It is nearly 50 years since 12- | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
year-old Keith Bennett was murdered, and through that time, his mother, | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
Winnie Johnson it made it her life's work to find his body on | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
Saddleworth Moor. Ian Brady and his accomplice Myra Hindley murdered | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
five children in the mid- 1960s, but the bodies of just four were | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
found. Keith Bennett was the only one missing. Winnie Johnson always | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
said she wanted to find Keith before she died. But she became ill | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
and pleaded with Ian Brady all the information. She spoke to me last | :02:20. | :02:28. | |
December. I have had 40 years of it, over 40 years. And I want it to | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
come to an end and I want Keith back. I lost him before and I found | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
out I had cancer and I said I wanted to know where Keith is | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
before the end. I did not know I was going to leave or if I would | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
die, so I wanted the truth. This morning it was confirmed that | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
Winnie Johnson had died peacefully overnight. Her son Alan Bennett | :02:49. | :02:59. | |
:02:59. | :03:06. | ||
She's a marvellous lady. Courageous, great fortitude, and she continued | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
that battle. She had to lead a normal life with the rest of her | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
family at the same time as never giving up the search. Saddleworth | :03:16. | :03:23. | |
Moor tormented her for years and are concealing Keith Bennett's body. | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
You could argue she was an extra victim of Hindley and Brady, | :03:27. | :03:33. | |
because without their help to find Keith, she suffered for years. | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
Winnie Johnson lived 30 miles from Saddleworth Moor, but it is here | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
that she is remembered. Some of making the journey here this | :03:40. | :03:48. | |
evening to pay tribute to her. was an amazing woman. She was not | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
in the best of health going over the Morse, and it was a torment for | :03:52. | :04:00. | |
her. She just did it. She found the strength to do it. Over the last | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
six or seven years we have been touched. We just wish everything | :04:05. | :04:11. | |
could be found now. I am sure she is with him now anyway. Just | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
yesterday it was reported Ian Brady had written a letter to Winnie | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
Johnson revealing the location of Keith's body. Police are now | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
looking for that letter, but even if it exists, it will have come too | :04:23. | :04:33. | |
:04:33. | :04:34. | ||
late to give Mrs Johnson her last The former boss of Barclays Bank, | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
Bob Diamond, has hit back at claims that he misled MPs over the bank | :04:37. | :04:45. | |
rate-rigging scandal that cost him his job. A report by MPs ruled that | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
the banker gave 'highly selective' evidence over revelations that his | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
bank conspired to fix inter-bank lending rates. Mr Diamond said he | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
was disappointed and strongly disagreed with several of the | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
committee's statements. Ben Thompson reports. | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
This was wrong and I'm not happy about it. For more Barclays boss | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
Bob Diamond giving evidence to MPs last month about the Bank's role in | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
the global rate rigging scandal. But today's report calls his | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
evidence and question and says Mr Diamond's submissions were at times | :05:13. | :05:19. | |
highly selective and fell short of what Parliament expects. It goes on | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
to criticise the Bank itself saying the board presided over a deeply | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
flawed culture with management turning a blind eye. It was such | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
hard work getting the evidence out of Mr Diamond, quite frankly. And | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
the committee has made clear their discontent about it. Not what | :05:37. | :05:47. | |
:05:47. | :06:00. | ||
Parliament expects. But Mr Diamond So why didn't authorities act | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
sooner? Reports say the regulators including the Bank of England and | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
that FSA were too obsessed with box-ticking and collecting data | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
rather than focusing on the wrists. For its part, the Bank of England | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
says it does not oversee LIBOR submissions and the responsibility | :06:17. | :06:24. | |
for that lies elsewhere. Mr Diamond and his chairman did quit following | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
scandal. But the report also makes recommendations for reform. It says | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
there should be bigger fines to deter wrong doing, new criminal | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
laws to prosecute those found guilty and better regulation to | :06:37. | :06:43. | |
spot fraud as it happens. Today's damning report is the first but not | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
the only enquiry into rate reading. It is likely the full extent of the | :06:46. | :06:52. | |
scandal could take many more months to emerge -- rate reading. | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
A soldier from 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards has been killed in | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
Afghanistan. The Ministry of Defence said the soldier was killed | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
by "enemy action" in the Nahr-e Saraj district of Helmand Province. | :07:01. | :07:11. | |
:07:11. | :07:11. | ||
A prominent South African politician has called for the | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
resignation of the country's president, in response to the | :07:14. | :07:20. | |
killing of 34 miners on Thursday. Julius Malema, a former ANC youth | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
leader, was cheered as he denounced the police who killed and injured | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
the protesting miners and as he called on Jacob Zuma to step down. | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
Some relatives of the victims of the shooting are still waiting for | :07:29. | :07:39. | |
:07:39. | :07:41. | ||
information at nearby hospitals. After the shooting, the grieving | :07:41. | :07:49. | |
begins. This is Primrose, and she is grieving for her missing | :07:49. | :07:55. | |
relative. We met her outside the hospital. That is where she tried, | :07:55. | :08:03. | |
in vain, to get some answers. here looking for my family who got | :08:03. | :08:10. | |
lost on Thursday. When I phoned him, I did not get a response. The phone | :08:10. | :08:19. | |
is on its voicemail. Reaction from Thursday's shooting is not confined | :08:19. | :08:26. | |
to mourning the dead. Anger is still visible and stronger monks | :08:26. | :08:32. | |
the miners. This is what Thursday's shooting has done. These miners are | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
angry at the government and the police. The former leader of the | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
ANC has told them that he is still on their side. But President Jacob | :08:42. | :08:49. | |
Zuma has abandoned them. He also called for a leadership change. | :08:49. | :08:59. | |
:08:59. | :09:10. | ||
Through these killings, South Africa's long history of being one | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
of the most unequal societies on the planet has come into sharp | :09:14. | :09:22. | |
focus. As night falls, there is still a heavy police presence | :09:22. | :09:29. | |
watching over a third largest platinum producer in the world. -- | :09:29. | :09:36. | |
The Russian Orthodox Church has urged the countries' authorities to | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
show mercy towards the jailed members of punk band, Pussy Riot. | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
Three of the group were sentenced to two years in jail for singing a | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
protest song in Moscow's main cathedral. Their lawyer has said | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
they will not appeal to President Vladimir Putin for a pardon. | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
The Mars rover, Curiosity, is to test its laser by vaporising part | :09:53. | :09:59. | |
of a rock. The million watt beam, fired for a fraction of a second, | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
will allow NASA scientists to study what the rock is made from. | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
Curiosity's main mission is to survey Mount Sharp but it'll take | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
the rover several months to get there. | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
The Duke of Edinburgh is spending a fourth night in hospital in | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
Aberdeen, where he's being treated for a bladder infection. Prince | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
Phillip, who's 91, was admitted on Wednesday, during his and the | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
Queen's annual summer break at Balmoral. Lorna Gordon is outside | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
the hospital for us. Lorna, what do we understand the doctors are | :10:22. | :10:32. | |
:10:32. | :10:34. | ||
It is thought that doctors are treating the infection itself with | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
antibiotics, but they are also advising the 91-year-old to take it | :10:39. | :10:45. | |
easy. So once again, today, no visitors from the Royal Family, but | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
one assumes a chance for Prince Philip to focus all his energy on | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
getting better. Although Buckingham Palace tends to not give a running | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
commentary on situations like this, we are given to believe that Prince | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
Philip is continuing to respond well to treatment. The Queen was | :11:03. | :11:09. | |
out and about earlier today and was looking reassuringly relaxed. She | :11:09. | :11:15. | |
was seen at leaving her private estate at Balmoral, driving herself | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
in a Range Rover, and returning a few hours later. The Royal Family | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
and the Queen are said to be in constant touch with Prince Philip | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
in hospital in Aberdeen, and, one assumes, in constant touch with | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
doctors as well. Those medical experts are probably likely to be | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
looking to see why his bladder infection has recurred. Whether | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
there is some kind of underlying problem they need to be treating. | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
So, tonight, for a 4th night, Prince Philip remains in hospital | :11:46. | :11:53. | |
It's been the hottest day of the year so far, at least for some. The | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
BBC Weather Centre reported a peak temperature of 32.3 Celsius at | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
Cavendish in Suffolk. London and the South East of England enjoyed | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
the best of the sunshine, although western areas have been hit by rain. | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
Forecasters say tomorrow could see even higher temperatures in the | :12:05. | :12:13. | |
Sport now, and for a full round-up of all the day's action, here's | :12:13. | :12:22. | |
Lizzie Greenwood-Hughes at the BBC No need for post-Olympic blues. | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
Plenty of sport this weekend with the new Premier League season under | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
way, and more on that in a minute. But things are getting very tight | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
on day three of the decisive final Test between England and South | :12:32. | :12:37. | |
Africa at Lord's. England must win to keep their world No. 1 status, | :12:37. | :12:42. | |
so plenty of pressure on their new young batsmen going for his maiden | :12:42. | :12:52. | |
:12:52. | :12:59. | ||
Well, we will try and bring you the cricket video in a while, but in | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
football, seven matches featured on the opening date of the opening -- | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
of the new season. If you don't want to know the scores, then this | :13:07. | :13:16. | |
The new dawn for Liverpool was overshadowed by West Brom who won | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
3-0. A disappointing start for Brendan Rogers who said afterwards | :13:20. | :13:25. | |
he expected more days like this. And no dream start for the new | :13:25. | :13:31. | |
Tottenham manager. Spurs losing 2-1 away to Newcastle. There were | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
plenty of goals in West London as Fulham beat Norwich 5-0. And | :13:35. | :13:42. | |
Michael Laudrup's new Swansea side thrashed QPR by the same margin. | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
West Ham marked their return to the division by beating Aston Villa and | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
a penalty salvaged a draw for Reading against Stoke. Newly- | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
promoted Ross County nearly caused an upset in the Scottish Premier | :13:52. | :13:57. | |
League. They were beating Celtic for most of the match after this | :13:58. | :14:03. | |
free-kick early in the second half, their first goal in the SPL. But | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
Chris Commons equalised deep into injury-time leaving Celtic unbeaten, | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
but far from convincing ahead of their Champions' League qualifier | :14:10. | :14:16. | |
on Tuesday. Elsewhere, Hearts drew with Inverness to go to the top, | :14:16. | :14:26. | |
:14:26. | :14:30. | ||
And in the Third Division Rangers manager Ally McCoist paid tribute | :14:30. | :14:35. | |
to the near 50,000 and see what Stemp beat East Stirlingshire at | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
Ibrox. -- you watched them beat East Stirlingshire. Now we can | :14:40. | :14:45. | |
bring you the cricket BT. A battle of the bowlers on day three between | :14:45. | :14:50. | |
England and South Africa. Replacing Kevin Pietersen's runs and taking | :14:50. | :14:56. | |
his place in the headlines, so not a bad effort. They say when the sun | :14:56. | :15:01. | |
is out at Lord's, batting is easy. But not today. No sooner had the | :15:01. | :15:07. | |
new ball arrived, Prior succumbed. Fishing outside off stump to give | :15:07. | :15:13. | |
South Africa just what they wanted. They call it the nervous 90s for a | :15:13. | :15:23. | |
:15:23. | :15:29. | ||
reason. And it was all too much, just five runs short of a maiden | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
century, he could not make it over the line. A disappointing way to | :15:33. | :15:39. | |
end a fabulous innings. Graeme Swann ended things on a high, and | :15:40. | :15:42. | |
giving England the slightest of Leeds, but in truth the game was | :15:42. | :15:47. | |
even, and that is good enough for the tourists to take a much prized | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
world No. 1 spot away from England. Andrew Strauss needed wickets very | :15:52. | :15:58. | |
badly and got his waist. -- got his wish. Graeme Smith was out, and | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
then followed by Alvar Road Peterson. Jacques Kallis calm | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
things down blending solidity with a fair amount of flair whereas | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
Hashim am I was riding his luck. He had already been dropped when he | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
nearly dragged on. With time running out, a vital breakthrough. | :16:15. | :16:18. |
