Arrests are made after the collapse of the building in Bangladesh

:00:05.:00:08.

that's claimed at least 350lives. Rescuers today pulled more

:00:08.:00:11.

survivors from the ruins of the clothing factory - we're at the

:00:11.:00:21.
:00:21.:00:22.

scene. This is now the 4th person in succession they've brought out

:00:22.:00:25.

alive from this hole. It's a huge boost for the rescue effort. But

:00:25.:00:29.

there are still many more people trapped in the rubble beneath.

:00:29.:00:32.

Armed drones in Afghanistan controlled by RAF pilots in the UK

:00:32.:00:37.

- the move sparks anger from anti- war campaigners.

:00:37.:00:40.

The teenager killed in the minibus crash on the M62 - tributes are

:00:40.:00:45.

paid to Bethany Jones from family and friends.

:00:45.:00:47.

And, onboard the first commercial flight of Boeing's 787 Dreamliner,

:00:47.:00:57.
:00:57.:01:12.

after the entire fleet was grounded Good Evening. Rescuers have pulled

:01:12.:01:15.

another 29 survivors from the rubble of a factory complex in

:01:15.:01:17.

Bangladesh after Wednesday's 8- storey building collapse which

:01:17.:01:27.
:01:27.:01:27.

killed at some 350 people. Two factory owners have been arrested

:01:27.:01:30.

on suspicion of having ignored warnings that the building was

:01:30.:01:33.

unsafe. From Dhaka, our South Asia correspondent Andrew North has just

:01:33.:01:43.
:01:43.:01:46.

sent this report. Every move back, he he shouts.

:01:46.:01:54.

They need space. A woman has just been pulled from the rubble alive.

:01:54.:01:59.

Rescued after four days buried under layers of concrete. The

:01:59.:02:03.

search back in full swing after criticism the army was ending it

:02:03.:02:07.

too early. There is no deadline. This operation will continue so

:02:07.:02:15.

long as there are survivors. Then, they get a man to the surface. This

:02:15.:02:19.

is now the 4th person in succession they've brought out alive from this

:02:19.:02:22.

hole. It's a huge boost for the rescue effort. But there are still

:02:22.:02:26.

many more people trapped in the rubble beneath. It's a race against

:02:26.:02:32.

time to get them out. They're using holes drilled deep through the

:02:32.:02:36.

ruins to search each level. But it is painfully slow and dangerous

:02:36.:02:46.

work. In places they are only just beginning. Equipment is in short

:02:46.:02:56.

supply. Talk to me, he shouts. Or make a

:02:56.:03:00.

noise. A few hours ago, there were sounds

:03:00.:03:10.
:03:10.:03:11.

from inside this wall of debris. We heard a voice, a woman's voice,

:03:11.:03:15.

he says, now it's silent, but we are not giving up.

:03:16.:03:21.

The strain is telling on rescuers who have been working non-stop for

:03:21.:03:26.

days. Everywhere there are reminders of the cut-price clothing

:03:26.:03:31.

factories that were operating here. Two of the owners have now been

:03:31.:03:35.

arrested. With hundreds of people still missing, everyone is taking a

:03:35.:03:45.
:03:45.:03:46.

different view now on the cost of cheap clothes.

:03:47.:03:49.

Hundreds of anti-war campaigners gathered outside a military base in

:03:49.:03:51.

Lincolnshire today where RAF pilots have started operating remote-

:03:51.:03:54.

controlled drone aircraft over Afghanistan. The MoD confirmed this

:03:54.:03:56.

week that control of armed intelligence and surveillance

:03:56.:04:01.

flights had moved there from a US facility in Nevada. Here's our

:04:01.:04:08.

defence correspondent Caroline Wyatt.

:04:08.:04:11.

The RAF's hi-tech drones have been flown for several years over

:04:11.:04:14.

Afghanistan by British pilots working in America at an air base

:04:15.:04:21.

in the Nevada desert. Now, though, the squadron piloting the UK's

:04:21.:04:24.

Reapers is based in Lincolnshire and the first missions flown

:04:24.:04:30.

remotely from here this week attracted protests today.

:04:30.:04:36.

Demonstraters from groups such as Stop The War Coalition, CND and the

:04:36.:04:39.

Drone Campaign Network gathered to express fears about the use of

:04:39.:04:44.

drones. There's something something sinister about the idea military

:04:44.:04:46.

personnel in Lincolnshire can attack or kill people in far-off

:04:46.:04:51.

countries at the push of a button. So what is a Reaper drone? And what

:04:51.:04:58.

can it do? It's 11 metres long with a wing-span of 20 metres. It can

:04:59.:05:03.

carry four hellfire missiles as well as at least two laser-guided

:05:03.:05:08.

bombs. As used by the RAF, it can stay in the air for more than 16

:05:08.:05:17.

hours at a time with around 95% of the UK's for surveillance. It stems

:05:18.:05:24.

partly from the CIA's use of drones, sometimes causing civilian

:05:24.:05:28.

casualties. RAF pilots have to obey strict rules of engagement over

:05:28.:05:33.

Afghanistan. They're fundamentally watching over British forces and

:05:33.:05:36.

their Afghan allies in Helmand Province. They're not out to kill

:05:36.:05:42.

bad guys in the Yemen or Pakistan. This is supporting British troops

:05:42.:05:47.

and Afghan nation rebuilding. UK is due stop its Reaper missions

:05:47.:05:57.
:05:57.:05:58.

over Afghanistan after 2014 when British combat operations there end.

:05:58.:06:00.

In the United States, a 41-year-old martial arts instructor has been

:06:00.:06:03.

charged in connection with poisoned letters sent to President Obama and

:06:03.:06:06.

two other officials. Everett Dusky - whose house in Mississippi was

:06:06.:06:09.

searched by police several days ago - is charged with possessing a

:06:09.:06:12.

biological agent with intent to use as a weapon. Letters containing

:06:12.:06:19.

Ricin were sent to the president, a senator and a Mississippi judge.

:06:19.:06:22.

The teenage girl killed in a road accident on the M62 yesterday has

:06:22.:06:25.

been named by police. Bethany Jones, who was 18 and from Pontefract, was

:06:25.:06:32.

on a minibus which was involved in a collision with a lorry. Eight

:06:32.:06:36.

people are still in hospital. Olivia Richwald reports. Bethany

:06:36.:06:40.

Jones was on her way to a hen night in Liverpool but she was killed in

:06:41.:06:45.

a crash on one of Britain's busiest motorways. She was among 20 family

:06:45.:06:49.

and friends of the bride Stephanie Firth. They got on to this minibus

:06:49.:06:55.

yesterday morning in the small Yorkshire town of South Elmsall.

:06:55.:06:57.

They were spade to be in high spirits but the celebrations came

:06:57.:07:01.

to a trapblg tragic end a few miles from home when there was a

:07:01.:07:04.

collision with the bus and a lorry. Today, Bethany's family paid

:07:04.:07:14.
:07:14.:07:22.

South Elmsall is today coming to terms with what happened yesterday.

:07:22.:07:25.

Nearly every single person we have spoken to in the high street and in

:07:25.:07:29.

the shops here knew someone on that bus yesterday. They describe

:07:29.:07:36.

Bethany Jones as a lovely, bubbly and bonny girl who had her life

:07:36.:07:41.

ahead of her. Bethany was well inform known and -- well-knowned

:07:41.:07:45.

and liked in the town where she worked. Sending them all love and

:07:45.:07:50.

prayers, hoping the girls pull together. It's strange how

:07:50.:07:53.

everybody does pull together in times like this. Everybody's trying

:07:53.:07:58.

to get to grips with it. Today the driver of the lorry, whoefs arrest

:07:58.:08:08.
:08:08.:08:11.

-- who was arrested by police on suspicion of causing death by

:08:11.:08:14.

dangerous driving has been released on bail. Eight of the hen party,

:08:14.:08:16.

including the bride, are still in hospital. The others are recovering

:08:16.:08:20.

at home. All mourning the loss of their friend Bethany.

:08:20.:08:22.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission is investigating whether

:08:22.:08:25.

a Taser stun gun, fired at a man who'd doused himself in fuel,

:08:25.:08:28.

caused him to die of serious burns. The commission said its inquiry

:08:28.:08:31.

would examine why officers had used the weapon against the 32-year old

:08:31.:08:37.

from Plymouth. Angus Crawford reports. To his family he was a

:08:37.:08:42.

fantastic son and a dear brother, Andrew Pimlott now dead from

:08:42.:08:46.

horrific burns. Police called to this house found him holding a can

:08:46.:08:49.

of fuel, it's not clear what happened next but he was engulfed

:08:49.:08:55.

in flames and a Taser was used. The police watchdog, the IPCC, says our

:08:55.:08:59.

investigation will be looking at what information was known to the

:08:59.:09:09.
:09:09.:09:17.

There are more than 12,000 Tasers on the streets of England and Wales

:09:17.:09:22.

in the hands of specially trained officers. In 2011, they were fired

:09:22.:09:26.

more than 1,000 times. Police say because they're replacing the use

:09:27.:09:32.

of firearms, they're actually saving lives. But there have been

:09:32.:09:35.

increasing number of complaints about their use. Here, while the

:09:35.:09:40.

man is on the ground. In another, a Taser was used on a blind man when

:09:40.:09:46.

police mistook his cane for a sword. There needs to be better training,

:09:46.:09:50.

better understanding of why the Taser needs to be used in that

:09:50.:09:53.

scenario and the circumstances in which it's used has to be restreugd.

:09:53.:09:57.

-- restricted. Frontline officers have called for a tripling in the

:09:57.:10:02.

numbers of Tasers, for them it's a lifesafer, protecting the police

:10:02.:10:05.

and public. But campaigners fear it's becoming a weapon of first

:10:05.:10:14.

choice, leading to injuries and, on rare occasions, even death.

:10:14.:10:17.

After two months of deadlock, Italy has a new government. The new Prime

:10:17.:10:20.

Minister will be the centre-left leader Enrico Letta. His main

:10:20.:10:23.

coalition partner is the party of the former Prime Minister Silvio

:10:23.:10:27.

Berlusconi. E new coalition government will be sworn in

:10:27.:10:32.

tomorrow. Boeing's 787 Dreamliner has

:10:32.:10:35.

completed its first commercial flight since the entire fleet was

:10:35.:10:38.

grounded in January after a series of battery problems. The trip -

:10:38.:10:41.

from Addis Ababa to Nairobi - went off without a hitch and our

:10:41.:10:48.

transport correspondent Richard Westcott was on board.

:10:48.:10:54.

On the move again after three-and- a-half months. The Dreamliner is

:10:54.:10:57.

finally airborne following a safety scare that grounded the entire

:10:57.:11:03.

fleet. This panicy scene is why it was grounded. An emergency landing

:11:03.:11:09.

in Japan after a pwaltary over-- battery overheated. Bare lay week

:11:09.:11:14.

after -- barely a week after another battery caught fire. In

:11:14.:11:17.

Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Boeing engineers are fitting more than a

:11:17.:11:21.

dozen new safety measures, including this steel case capable

:11:21.:11:27.

of containing a battery fire. It is being fitted to the 50 Dreamliners

:11:27.:11:31.

currently parked up around the world. This is the forward cargo

:11:31.:11:35.

hold of the plane where they put your luggage normally. If we move

:11:35.:11:38.

further towards the front of the plane it's cramped. There is wires

:11:39.:11:41.

everywhere, you can see the engineer working. This is where

:11:41.:11:44.

they're going to put that new battery with all the safety

:11:45.:11:53.

modifications. Back on board, flight 801. A simple 90-minute hop

:11:53.:11:56.

from Addis Ababa to Nairobi wouldn't normally attract senior

:11:56.:11:59.

executives from Boeing. Today, though, they were lining up to tell

:11:59.:12:02.

the world the plane is safe. have looked at all the possible

:12:03.:12:06.

causes for the incidents we had in January. We addressed those causes

:12:06.:12:10.

with a solution for the battery and then, of course, we enclosed the

:12:10.:12:14.

battery in a stainless steel case to ensure should there be a problem

:12:14.:12:17.

it's isolated, we will be able to continue safe safe operations.

:12:17.:12:22.

are about 15,000 feet above Ethiopia and so far the flight has

:12:22.:12:25.

been boring, which is just what Boeing want. This safety issue has

:12:25.:12:30.

put a huge dent in their reputation. Now it's all about rebuilding trust

:12:30.:12:34.

with these people, with the passengers. Safety regulators say

:12:34.:12:39.

the plane is fit to fly. But are people convinced? You saw it was a

:12:39.:12:43.

Dreamliner, what's the first thought? My heart started beating

:12:43.:12:46.

because I knew about the history with the battery problems. When you

:12:46.:12:51.

travel there's always a risk, even in cars. I know issues about the

:12:51.:12:54.

battery but I thought if they put it back in the sky they must have

:12:54.:13:00.

done some checks. Three British airlines, Thompson, BA and Virgin,

:13:00.:13:05.

have the plane on order. It's been a bumpy ride for the world's most

:13:05.:13:08.

advanced airliner. For now, at least, it seems Boeing's Dreamliner

:13:08.:13:18.
:13:18.:13:21.

nightmare is over. Time for the sport. Thank you very

:13:21.:13:28.

much. Good evening. It has been a dramatic day across

:13:28.:13:31.

the football leagues. Match of the Day follows on BBC One, so please

:13:31.:13:35.

pop out of the room if you don't want to know any results. We'll

:13:35.:13:38.

have details of the twists and turns in League One and Two in a

:13:38.:13:41.

moment but we'll start with the Premier League. Brendan Rodgers's

:13:41.:13:44.

Liverpool were without Luis Suarez as he starts a 10-game ban for

:13:44.:13:46.

biting another footballer but even with their leading goalscorer

:13:46.:13:49.

missing, Liverpool hit Six goals past Newcastle for an emphatic

:13:49.:13:51.

victory. Newcastle are now just five points above the relegation

:13:51.:13:56.

zone. Everton beat Fulham by 1-0. Manchester City were 2-1 winners

:13:56.:14:01.

against West Ham. Three red cards were shown in a

:14:01.:14:04.

game that saw Southampton lose 3-0 to West Brom. Stoke beat Norwich,

:14:04.:14:07.

While Wigan are still in the relegation zone after a last minute

:14:07.:14:09.

own goal meant finishing with a 2-2 draw with Tottenham.

:14:09.:14:12.

Griffin Park saw a dramatic end to the League One season. Brentford

:14:12.:14:15.

could have sealed promotion to the Championship when they were given a

:14:15.:14:18.

late penalty but when Marcello Trotta missed that spot kick, their

:14:18.:14:22.

opponents Doncaster took full advantage. Billy Paynter broke away

:14:23.:14:25.

to set up James Coppinger who calmly slotted home to claim the

:14:26.:14:31.

League One title in the last seconds of the game. The 1-0 win

:14:32.:14:38.

returns Doncaster to the Championship at the first attempt.

:14:38.:14:41.

In the Scottish Premier League, there were wins for Aberdeen and

:14:41.:14:44.

bottom of the table Dundee while Hibernian and St Mirren drew 3-3.

:14:44.:14:47.

Saint Johnstone's hopes of European football are still alive after a 1-

0 win over third-placed Inverness Caledonian Thistle. Steven Maclane

:14:51.:14:56.

with the winner after Inverness had been reduced to ten men.

:14:56.:14:58.

Tony McCoy has been confirmed as Jump Racing's Champion Jockey for

:14:58.:15:01.

the 18th successive year. McCoy missed the end of the season after

:15:01.:15:05.

breaking his ribs but is eager to ride again in two or three weeks'

:15:05.:15:10.

time and is targeting a 19th Champion jockey title. Irish side

:15:10.:15:13.

Munster were knocked out of Rugby Union's Heineken Cup at the semi-

:15:13.:15:15.

final stage by Clermont Auvergne this afternoon. Napolioni Nalanga's

:15:16.:15:20.

try helping the French side to a 16-10 victory in Montpellier. So

:15:20.:15:22.

Clermont Auvergne will face either Saracens or Jonny Wilkinson's

:15:22.:15:26.

Toulon in next month's final. Those two sides meet at Twickenham in the

:15:26.:15:29.

second semi-final tomorrow. And the World Number One, Mark Selby, has

:15:29.:15:31.

been knocked out of the World Snooker Championship by Barry

:15:32.:15:38.

Hawkins this evening. That is all the sport. Thank you very much.

:15:38.:15:48.
:15:48.:15:56.

That's all from us here at the BBC Good evening. Saturday's showers

:15:56.:15:59.

have fizzled away and now temperatures are tumbling down to

:15:59.:16:04.

plus two or three. By morning, maybe minus two or minus three.

:16:04.:16:08.

Across England and Wales a touch of frost under largely clear skies.

:16:08.:16:11.

For Scotland and Northern Ireland it's more cloud here and outbreaks

:16:11.:16:15.

of rain and a strengthening wind. That adds up to a milder night.

:16:15.:16:18.

Temperatures staying above freezing here. For England and Wales,

:16:18.:16:23.

certainly in rural areas, we could get as low as minus two or three.

:16:23.:16:27.

Gardeners, you have been warned. Towns and cities, tending to stay a

:16:27.:16:31.

touch above freezing. But wherever you are it's going to be a cold

:16:31.:16:35.

start to Sunday. A damp start to the central belt of Scotland and

:16:35.:16:37.

parts of Northern Ireland. It will brighten up here. This thicker

:16:37.:16:41.

cloud will some rain dribbling south across England and Wales. If

:16:41.:16:45.

you are stuck under that it's going to feel quite cold. Further north,

:16:45.:16:48.

there will be some sunshine but it will feel cold with strong and

:16:48.:16:52.

gusty winds peppering western Scotland with showers. Not too many

:16:52.:16:55.

through the central belt and for Northern Ireland some afternoon

:16:55.:17:01.

sunshine here here. Across much of northern England and the Midlands

:17:01.:17:04.

Wales and south-west England if you are stuck under this thick cloud

:17:04.:17:12.

with rain it will feel cold. Milder across the south-east and East

:17:12.:17:16.
