Good afternoon to you. Police have charged a man with the murder of

five-year-old April Jones. Mark bridge rer, who is 46, has also

been charged with her abduction and attempting to pervert the course of

justice. This afternoon, officers said they remained focused on

finding April, as Alexandra MacKenzie reports. Mark Bridger has

been if police custody since Tuesday., the day after April Jones

disappeared. He's now been charged with the murder of the five-year-

old girl. My conclusion is that there is

sufficient evidence to charge Mark Bridger with the murder of April

Jones. It's many the public interest to do

so. I have also concluded that there is sufficient evidence to

charge the defendant with attempting to pervert the course of

justice and child abduction. Today, our thoughts are very much with

April's family, friends and those who knew her and the community

within Machynlleth. The last few days has seen us deal with one of

tf most fast-moving and complex cases. April Jones had been out

playing with friends on Monday, a special treat for doing well at

school. Since then, a painstaking search has been under way.

60 speciallist trained officers from the emergency services and

Coastguard Rescue Teams have spent the week doing what they can. They

were joined by many from the local community.

This morning, that community woke knowing there's little prospect of

finding April alive. There is a change in the mood, but at the same

time people are still, as I Sam, holding on to that hope that April

will be found alive -- as I am. If that is not to be, then it's

crucial that April is found for the family and for the community.

The pink rib upons remain, a symbol of unity and hope, pink is April's

favourite colour. The vigils for the missing girl have been held

every night. Tomorrow, the people of this town will come together to

remember her at a special church service.

The Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, says he backs the legal limit on

abortion being lowered from 24 weeks to 12 adding his voice to

whether Cabinet Ministers pressing for a change in the law. David

Cameron insusted the government has no plans to reduce the limit and

said Mr Hunt was simply expressing a person opinion, as Vicki Young

reports -- insisted. Pst an emotive and personal issue, abortion

divides political parties and over the years they've brought

protestors on to the streets. Jeremy Hunt's told the times that

he personally believes the time At the moment, abortion is legal in

England, Scotland and Wales up until 24 weeks of pregnancy. The

latest figures show there were just under 190,000 abortions for women

living in England and Wales last year, but most abortions, 91% of

them, are carried out before 13 weeks.

Some experts who give advice on unwanted pregnancy point out that

it's often very vulnerable women who seek later abortions.

They are a small number of women but they are no less deserving of

care than women who present earlier. It's important that the Health

Secretary recognises the reality and needs of women's lives and that

women will need access to later care.

David Cameron was out meeting nurses today, keen to highlight his

commitment to the NHS and how the Government has protected the Health

Service budget. He was forced to respond to the abortion debate and

made us clear he disagreed with his Health Secretary. Members of

Parliament vote according to their conscience. I've said I would vote

for a modest limit. Jeremy Hunt's intervention in this controversial

area will be welcomed by many Conservatives gathering here for

their Party Conference. Although the government has no plans to

change the law, there are many backbenchers who'd like to try and

force a vote on the issue. The radical Muslim cleric, Abu

Hamza, who was extradited from the UK to the United States overnight

is to apear in court in New York later today. He's being held in

Manhattan and faces 11 separate terror charges. From there,

Alastair Leithead reports. Arriving in the dead of night,

after years of legal challenges. After landing on American soil, Abu

Hamza was taken directly to a maximum security holding cell.

He and two other men also wanted by the US on terrorism charges are now

being held here in New York ahead of their first court appearance.

Two others also extradited have already pleaded not guilty

elsewhere and were jailed until their trial.

Just do it... In the 1990, Abu Hamza used

London's Finsbury Park Mosque as a platform for his messages of hatred.

Dismissed as troublemaker, his angry sermons went on to inspire

acts of violence. Abu Hamza's extradition to America is to face

11 charges relating to hostage- taking, conspiracy to establish a

militant training camp and calling for holy war in Afghanistan.

The terms of his extradition mean he cannot be given the death

penalty. Abu Hamza is due to appear at this

federal court for the start of a long legal process. It's eight

years since the US first requested his extradition, four years since

the British Government approved it and the question he's left behind

is why did the process take so long? This has been a deeply

frustrating process. These individuals have been or said to

have undertaken some very serious crimes, they're terrorist suspects

and we should be able to, most people would say, be able to see

them removed from this country in a shorter process. For years, Abu

Hamza's been the face of the battle against extremism. Now it's America

which seeks to bring him to justice. The back Stany politician, Imran

Khan, is leading a convoy of hundreds of supporters from the

capital Islamabad to tribal areas near the Afghan border in protest

against the American dron attacks. The former cricketer says drone

strikes are morally wrong and politically harmful. Mr Khan has

been accuse odd trying to capitalise on the widespread anger

against drone strikes. A former Butler to the Pope has been

sentenced to 18 months in prison after being found to be leaking

confidential papers to the press. Alan Johnston reports from Rome.

He's seen the -- he seemed the perfect butler, attending the

Pope's every need. Paolo Gabriele was always at his master's side and

with the Pope, he rode in a world of privilege. All this is over now,

because the butler broke the rules. A Vatican judge sentencing Gabriele

to 18 months in jail, guilty of stealing the Pope's secrets and

revealing them to the world. Gabriele told the court he'd seen

evil and corruption in the Vatican. He was worried about unresolved

mysteries. He said the Pope was not fully informed and that that made

his master easy to manipulate. He said he wanted to help the Pope

by revaeling the rot so he leaked documents to the media -- revealing.

The Vatican says there was no need for this. There are four or five

people in the whorld who have the chance every day to talk o the Pope

and get five minutes with him with no distractions. Began Gabriele

could have done it that way, instead he went off and caused the

scandal that became. Those who watch the Vatican closely still

wonder about this affair - did the butler really act alone as he

insists he did? There is a widespread sense here that the

butler's trial has left unanswered questions. Although the Pope's

conducted hids own inquiry into the scandal surrounding the leaks,

whatever he's found out, he's keeping secret. The Pope will want

to move on and he's expected to pardon Paolo Gabriele to forgive

his way ward butler. Football now and in the Barclays
