another 29 survivors from the rubble of a factory complex in Bangladesh

:00:29.:00:32.

after Wednesday's eight-storey building collapse which killed at

:00:32.:00:37.

least 348 people. Two factory owners have been arrested on suspicion of

:00:37.:00:42.

having ignored warnings that the building was unsafe. From Dhaka, our

:00:42.:00:46.

correspondent Andrew North has just sent this report.

:00:46.:00:56.
:00:56.:00:59.

Everyone move back, he shouts. They need space. A woman has just been

:00:59.:01:04.

pulled from the rubble alive. Rescued after four days buried under

:01:04.:01:09.

layers of concrete. The search back in full swing after criticism the

:01:09.:01:13.

army was ending it too early. is no deadline. This operation will

:01:13.:01:19.

continue so long as there are survivors. Then, they get a man to

:01:19.:01:25.

the surface. This is now the fourth person in succession they've brought

:01:25.:01:28.

out alive from this hole. It is a huge boost for the rescue effort.

:01:28.:01:32.

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

:01:32.:01:38.

a race against time to get them out. They are using holes drilled deep

:01:38.:01:45.

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

:01:45.:01:52.

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

:01:52.:02:02.
:02:02.:02:06.

short supply. SHOUTING TALK TO ME, HE SHOUTS or make a noise. A few

:02:06.:02:16.
:02:16.:02:16.

hours ago, there were sounds from inside this wall of debris. We heard

:02:16.:02:21.

a voice, a woman's voice, he says, now it is silent but we are not

:02:21.:02:26.

giving up. The strain is telling on rescuers who have been working

:02:26.:02:32.

nonstop for days. Everywhere there are reminders of the cut plies

:02:32.:02:37.

clothing factories that were operating here. Two of the owners

:02:37.:02:41.

have now been arrested. With hundreds of people still missing,

:02:41.:02:51.
:02:51.:02:51.

everyone is taking a different view now on the cost of cheap clothes.

:02:52.:02:57.

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

:02:57.:03:03.

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

:03:03.:03:07.

a minibus which was in a collision with a lorry. Eight people are still

:03:07.:03:11.

234 hospital. Bethany Jones was on her way to a hen night in Liverpool

:03:11.:03:16.

but she was killed in a crash on one of Britain's busiest motorways. She

:03:16.:03:20.

was among 20 family and friends of the bride Stephanie Firth. They got

:03:20.:03:25.

on to this minibus yesterday in the small West Yorkshire town of South

:03:26.:03:30.

Elmsall. They were said to be in high spirits but the celebrations

:03:30.:03:35.

came to a tragic end just a few miles from home when there was a

:03:35.:03:40.

collision between the minibus and a lorry. Today Bethany's family paid

:03:40.:03:50.
:03:50.:03:53.

South Elmsall is really today just coming to terms with what happened

:03:53.:03:57.

yesterday. Nearly every single person we've spoken to in the high

:03:57.:04:03.

street and in the shops here new -- knew someone on that minibus and

:04:03.:04:08.

they describe Bethany as a lovely, Bonnie girl who had her whole life

:04:08.:04:12.

ahead of her. Bethany was well known and liked in the town where she

:04:12.:04:17.

worked. Sending them all love, thoughts and prayers. Hoping the

:04:17.:04:20.

girls pull together. It is strange how everybody does pull together in

:04:20.:04:25.

times like this. Devastated really. Everyone's trying to come to grips

:04:25.:04:29.

with it. Today, the driver of the lorry arrested by police on

:04:29.:04:32.

suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving has been released

:04:32.:04:35.

on bail. Eight of the hen party, including the bride, are still in

:04:35.:04:40.

hospital. The others are recovering at home. All are mourning the loss

:04:41.:04:50.
:04:51.:04:51.

of their friend Bethany. In Italy, after months of political

:04:52.:04:55.

uncertainty, a deal has been reached to form a new Coalition Government.

:04:55.:05:01.

The new Prime Minister will be the centre-left leader Enrico Letta. His

:05:01.:05:05.

main coalition partner is the party of the former Prime Minister Silvio

:05:05.:05:09.

Berlusconi, the new Government will be sworn in tomorrow.

:05:09.:05:12.

Hundreds of anti-war campaigners have gathered outside a military

:05:12.:05:18.

base in Lincolnshire today where RAF pilots have started operating remote

:05:18.:05:23.

controlled drone aircraft over Afghanistan. MoD corn firmed control

:05:23.:05:33.
:05:33.:05:35.

of armed intelligence had moved there from a US facility in Nevada.

:05:35.:05:39.

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

:05:39.:05:46.

Afghanistan by British pile olts working in America at an air base in

:05:46.:05:51.

the Nevada desert. Now, the squadron's based in Lincolnshire.

:05:51.:05:57.

The first missions flown remotely from here earlier this week

:05:57.:06:02.

attracted protesters. Demonstrators from stop Stop the War Coalition and

:06:02.:06:06.

CND gathered to express their fears about the use of drones. There is

:06:06.:06:10.

something sin ter about the idea that military personnel in

:06:10.:06:14.

Lincolnshire can attack or kill people in far-off country at the

:06:14.:06:20.

push of a bottom. What is a Reaper drone and what can it do? It is 11

:06:20.:06:26.

metres long with a wingspan of 20 metres. It can carry four Hellfire

:06:26.:06:30.

missiles as well as at least two laser-guided bombs. As used by the

:06:30.:06:39.

RAF, it can stay in the air for more than 16 hours at a time with around

:06:39.:06:45.

95% using Reaper missions for surveillance. It stems partly from

:06:45.:06:51.

the CIA's use of drones. Sometimes they cause civilian casualties. RAF

:06:51.:06:56.

pilots have to obey strict rules of engagement over Afghanistan. They

:06:56.:07:02.

are watching over British Forces and their Afghan allies in Helmand

:07:02.:07:07.

Province. They are not out to kill bad guys in the Yemen or Pakistan.

This is supporting British troops and Afghan nation rebuilding.

is due to stop Reaper missions after 2014 when British combat missions

end there. North Korea has announced it will try an American-Korean man

:07:24.:07:28.

who it accuses of attempting to overthrow the Government. Kenneth

:07:28.:07:33.

Bae was arrested last November as he visited the country. The latest

:07:33.:07:37.

development could further inflame tension between the US and North

:07:37.:07:43.

Korea with relations already deeply frout after the north said it was

:07:43.:07:48.

going to launch military strikes against America. Nling Dreamliner

:07:48.:07:53.

has completed its first commercial flight after being ground in the

:07:53.:07:55.

January after serious battery problems. The flight went off

:07:56.:08:03.

without a hitch. On the move again after

:08:03.:08:06.

three-and-a-half months. The Dreamliner is finally airborne

:08:06.:08:13.

following a safety scare that grounded the entire fleet. This

:08:13.:08:18.

panicky scene is why it was grounded. An emergency landing in

:08:18.:08:23.

Japan after a battery overheated. And barely a week after another

:08:23.:08:29.

battery caught fire in a plane in Boston. In a hanger in Addis Ababa,

:08:29.:08:33.

Boeing engineers are fitting over a dozen new safety measures, including

:08:33.:08:38.

this steel case capable of can Taining a battery fire. It is being

:08:38.:08:42.

fitted to the 50 dream liners currently parked up around the

:08:42.:08:47.

world. This is the forward cargo hold of the aeroplane where they put

:08:47.:08:51.

your luggage normally. If we move forward to the front of the plane is

:08:52.:08:56.

it really cramped. This is where they will put that new battery with

:08:56.:09:04.

all its safety modifications. Back on board flight 801. A simple

:09:04.:09:08.

90-minute hop from Addis Ababa to Nairobi wouldn't normally attract

:09:08.:09:11.

senior executives from Boeing. Today, though, they were lining up

:09:11.:09:16.

to tell the world the plane is safe. We've looked at all the possible

:09:16.:09:19.

causes for the incidences we had in January. We've addressed those

:09:19.:09:23.

causes with a solution for the battery and enclosed the battery in

:09:23.:09:28.

a stainless steel case to ensure should there be a problem, it is

:09:28.:09:34.

isolated. Safety regulators say the plane is now fit to fly. But are

:09:34.:09:37.

passengers convinced? You got off the bus. Saw it was a Dreamliner.

:09:37.:09:44.

What went through your head? heart started beating. You EU I knew

:09:44.:09:50.

about the problems. It is always risky when you travel even in cars.

:09:50.:09:54.

I thought if they put it back in the sky, they must have done checks.
