Police in Bangladesh arrest the owner of the factory which

:00:09.:00:17.

collapsed killing noorly 400. On the run -- nearly 400. On the run,

:00:17.:00:25.

he was captured by commandos. Rescuers continue their desperate

:00:25.:00:28.

efforts to search for people alive. They are about touching distance,

:00:28.:00:34.

so it is a case where it is unbelievable, shocking and hopeful

:00:34.:00:41.

all at the same time. We will have the latest from the scene. Wealthy

:00:41.:00:45.

pensioners should consider handing back some benefits, like free bus

:00:45.:00:49.

passes, that is according to the Work and Pensions Secretary. The

:00:49.:00:54.

gunman who shot two police officers in Rome, as Italy's new Government

:00:54.:00:59.

was sworn in. It is Best Actress again for Helen Mirren. This time

:00:59.:01:09.
:01:09.:01:19.

for her stage performance of the Hello. Good evening to you. The

:01:19.:01:23.

owner of the building that collapsed in the Bangladeshi

:01:23.:01:28.

capital, Dhaka, killing nearly 400 has been arrested. Mohammed Sohel

:01:28.:01:34.

Rana was captured at the Indian border. This evening, a fire

:01:34.:01:40.

hampered the efforts of rescuers. Our South Asia correspondent has

:01:40.:01:46.

sent this report from Dhaka. They stopped him as he tried to

:01:46.:01:50.

flee across the border - the most wanted man in Bangladesh, now in

:01:50.:01:54.

custody. The owner of the factory complex that collapsed this week.

:01:54.:02:00.

As he is bundled into a car and driven away, he's terrified, but in

:02:00.:02:06.

his ruined building people are still fighting for their lives.

:02:06.:02:11.

He has crawled back from deep inside the ruins.

:02:11.:02:17.

This rescue workers has incredible news. There's a man in there, he

:02:17.:02:21.

says, he's weak, but he's still alive.

:02:21.:02:27.

He's been trapped in the rubble, in total darkness for five days.

:02:27.:02:36.

Now it is a race to keep him alive while they try to get him out.

:02:36.:02:42.

But the rescuers nearly have to be rescued themselves. There is so

:02:42.:02:49.

little air inside the hole they have dug. They are about touching

:02:49.:02:54.

distance. So, it's pretty much of a case where it is unbelievable,

:02:54.:02:58.

shocking and hopeful, all at the same time.

:02:58.:03:06.

Then another volunteer goes back in. Only the smallest can squeeze

:03:06.:03:11.

through. Deep inside this wall of debris, they have found another man

:03:11.:03:15.

alive. He is a cloth cutter, but there is huge amounts of rubble

:03:15.:03:19.

around him that they have to clear if they are to get him out and his

:03:20.:03:25.

cries are getting fainter and fainter. And time is running out -

:03:25.:03:32.

fast. They say this part of the building could collapse too.

:03:32.:03:37.

Heavy-lifting gear has been brought in to start the clear-up.

:03:37.:03:42.

The cranes are ready and hopes that more survivors will be rescued are

:03:42.:03:51.

fading. Here, wealthy pensioners should

:03:51.:03:56.

consider returning some of their benefits - that is according to the

:03:56.:03:59.

Work and Pensions Secretary, Iain Duncan Smith. In an interview he

:03:59.:04:06.

said he would encourage those who could afford it forego TV licences

:04:06.:04:11.

and free bus passes. The Liberal Democrats have urged the Government

:04:11.:04:16.

to means test some benefits. Getting older does have some

:04:16.:04:21.

benefits, as well as a winter fuel allowance, there's a cheap bus pass

:04:21.:04:25.

and a free TV licence. With less cash in the pot, the question for

:04:25.:04:30.

policy makers is whether the wealthiest pensioners should still

:04:30.:04:35.

get them. The Work and Pensions Secretary, Iain Duncan Smith, says

:04:35.:04:39.

universal pensioner benefits are an anomaly. He told the Sunday

:04:39.:04:42.

Telegraph, wealthy pensioners should consider returning their

:04:42.:04:52.
:04:52.:04:53.

Some like Ann Davis, in Watford, can afford to give their heating

:04:53.:04:58.

allowance to charity, but she would prefer to opt-out of receiving it

:04:58.:05:03.

all together. Out-out in a sense that we declare it, so the money

:05:03.:05:09.

doesn't disappear, or get spent or get put in case of - it can be used.

:05:09.:05:12.

There's no point in the odd �200 disappearing into Government. It

:05:12.:05:18.

will not do anything. The question of whether pensioners should be

:05:18.:05:23.

means-tested is something all parties are grappling with.

:05:23.:05:27.

Conscience they are reliable voters. There are no plans to start means

:05:28.:05:31.

testing, but the Liberal Democrats say that is the wrong approach.

:05:31.:05:36.

When money is tight, you have to have the right priorities. It is

:05:36.:05:41.

right to ask wealthy, perhaps multi-millionaire pensioners to

:05:41.:05:45.

make sacrifices, just as we ask families on lower incomes. Labour

:05:45.:05:50.

has get to reveal its plans. With budgets increasingly thin, the

:05:50.:05:58.

debate about where to draw the line is getting more urgent.

:05:58.:06:03.

A gunman has opened fire outside the Italian Prime Minister's office.

:06:03.:06:09.

It happened as the new Prime Minister was being sworn in at the

:06:09.:06:13.

Presidential Palace. The gunman was arrested. He told investigators he

:06:13.:06:19.

acted out of anger at politicians. Confusion after gunshots are fired

:06:19.:06:25.

in the very heart of Rome. Two policemen were injured - shot

:06:25.:06:29.

down right in front of the Prime Minister's office. People rushed to

:06:30.:06:33.

help this officer as he lay on the ground.

:06:33.:06:38.

Police have arrested Luigi Preiti, an unemployed man in his 40s.

:06:38.:06:45.

Reports say he was angry with Italy's politicians.

:06:45.:06:49.

Italy's interior minister says this seems to have been an isolated

:06:49.:06:53.

shooting and the man showed signs of wanting to commit suicide. The

:06:54.:06:57.

two policemen are said to be in a serious condition. People at the

:06:57.:07:03.

scene were shocked. I saw the panic in the face of the people and

:07:03.:07:08.

everybody started to run and to scream and of course it was really

:07:08.:07:13.

a strange feeling. He was pointing the gun in this direction towards

:07:13.:07:17.

the police and he fired five or six more shots.

:07:17.:07:22.

The shooting comes at a dramatic moment in Italy. It took place just

:07:22.:07:28.

as a new Government was being sworn in about half a mile away.

:07:28.:07:32.

Italy's new Prime Minister wasn't here when the shooting happened. He

:07:32.:07:35.

was across town, being sworn in as leader. The police have told us

:07:35.:07:40.

they are not sure if there is any connection between the two events,

:07:40.:07:45.

but this is a sombre start for Italy's new Government.

:07:45.:07:50.

The swearing in ceremony ends two months of political deadlock. The

:07:50.:07:54.

Governing coalition is an uneasy alliance between the centre-left

:07:54.:07:58.

and Silvio Berlusconi's centre- right party. It has got to deal

:07:58.:08:02.

with the country's huge economic problems, which are a worry not

:08:02.:08:11.

just for Italy but for the whole of Europe.

:08:11.:08:15.

The Conservative Cabinet minister Kenneth Clarke has described the UK

:08:15.:08:19.

Independence Party as a collection of clowns who are against

:08:19.:08:25.

foreigners and immigrants. His comments came after UKIP accused

:08:25.:08:30.

the Conservatives of running a smear campaign against its would-be

:08:30.:08:33.

councillors. Our correspondent is with us now. It comes days before

:08:33.:08:37.

the local elections. Elections across some parts of England which

:08:37.:08:40.

could be bad for the Conservatives. There is fresh evidence tonight of

:08:40.:08:45.

how serious the Tories are treating the threat from UKIP, because they

:08:45.:08:49.

wheeled out Boris Johnson, writing in a newspaper tomorrow about Nigel

:08:49.:08:52.

Farage and UKIP. He will urge Conservatives to keep calm and

:08:52.:09:02.

carry on. There's no doubt Tories are worried about UKIP. They have

:09:02.:09:08.

no MPs. It is polling 10-12% in national polls. UKIP believes it is

:09:08.:09:12.

on the march. It is putting up 1700 candidates in these elections. It

:09:12.:09:17.

is taking it very seriously. Now, have they been subject to a smear

:09:17.:09:22.

campaign? I think many would say, wake up, this is what national

:09:22.:09:26.

politics feels like for UKIP and they better get used to it. Are

:09:26.:09:31.

they clowns, are they are protest party? They say, yes, we are a

:09:31.:09:38.

protest party. We welcome all and sun dri. The problem is that stance

:09:38.:09:41.

cannot last forever. If they do well, there will be more scrutiny

:09:41.:09:46.

and it will be more intense. Thank you. Three bombs have exploded in

:09:47.:09:50.

north-western Pakistan, killing 11 people. They are the late nest a

:09:50.:09:54.

series of attacks targeting politicians in the run-up to next

:09:54.:09:57.

month's general election there. After five years of democratic rule,

:09:57.:10:01.

the country is struggling with terrorist attacks, inflation and

:10:01.:10:08.

power cuts. Now the country has been gaining ground and could

:10:08.:10:12.

change and challenge that political landscape.

:10:12.:10:21.

Now we report from Punjab. One more call before he hits the

:10:21.:10:24.

road. Imran Khan is chasing every vote.

:10:24.:10:29.

The former cricket star is now a serious political player.

:10:29.:10:34.

He is seen off by well-wishers, who believe in his promise of a new

:10:34.:10:40.

pack stand and his party - the Movement for Justice.

:10:40.:10:45.

We joined him on the campaign trial in Punjab - the key battleground.

:10:45.:10:51.

He said voters are weary of the established parties. People have

:10:51.:10:56.

already decided. They try these guys over and over again. I believe

:10:56.:10:59.

in Abraham Lincoln saying, you cannot fool all the people all the

:11:00.:11:04.

time. He has made corruption an election issue and claims most of

:11:04.:11:09.

the political establishment belong behind bars. 80% of people in high

:11:09.:11:15.

positions in Pakistan are criminals. I'm not exaggerating. I doubt about

:11:15.:11:22.

the other 20% too. 80% for sure, in f they were in a western democracy,

:11:22.:11:27.

they would have been jailed. Khan road show comes to Sheikhupura

:11:27.:11:33.

and he is rushed into a rally - one of several each day. He claims a

:11:33.:11:36.

political tsunami is coming which will sweep him to power.

:11:36.:11:41.

That is unlikely, but he has mobilised a new generation and his

:11:41.:11:47.

rivals are watching carefully. The message at rallies like this

:11:47.:11:52.

one is, it is time for change in Pakistan. That has a powerful

:11:52.:11:57.

appeal, especially with the young. Imran Khan will be relying on them

:11:57.:12:01.

come polling day. He needs a high turnout if he is to make his

:12:01.:12:07.

political break through. On stage, the cricket legend

:12:07.:12:14.

promises to bowl out his opponents. He has also promised to end

:12:14.:12:20.

corruption in 90 days. Critics say he is naive and dangerous. They say

:12:20.:12:23.

he's soft on the Taliban. Supporters insist he's their

:12:24.:12:31.

saviour. We are campaigning for Imran Khan.

:12:31.:12:36.

We love him. He's the hope for Pakistan. We believe he's the man

:12:36.:12:40.

who can take us from all these crisis.

:12:40.:12:44.

Then Khan was on the road again, heading to the next rally. When the

:12:44.:12:50.

votes are cast, he could be part of a new coalition Government or a

:12:50.:12:59.

major voice in opposition. Either way, he'll be hard to ignore.

:12:59.:13:04.

Dame Helen Mirren has tonight been crowned Best Actress at the Olivier

:13:04.:13:08.

Theatre Awards for her latest portrayal of the Queen, this time

:13:08.:13:18.
:13:18.:13:22.

in the stage play. There was a surprise for Luke Treadaway. From

:13:22.:13:27.

traeding the boards to walking the red carpet. Dame Helen Mirren take

:13:27.:13:31.

to the public stage for the Olivier Theatre Awards. Now we all know

:13:31.:13:37.

that UK PLC is in the dull droms, not British theatre though, which

:13:37.:13:40.

is having a golden age, particularly in the subised sector.

:13:40.:13:46.

It has developed the nabg of taking taxpayers' money, turning them into

:13:46.:13:52.

West End winners. And it turned out tonight multiple

:13:52.:13:57.

award winners T national theatre production of The Curious Incident

:13:57.:14:02.

Of The Dog In The Night-Time won seven - including Best Play and

:14:02.:14:06.

Best Actor for its star, Luke Treadaway.

:14:06.:14:13.

The role, the Olivier, between them, life changing? I have never seen a

:14:13.:14:18.

part like it before. For everyone who is involved and who has helped

:14:18.:14:23.

it come to life, the play, this is for them.

:14:23.:14:29.

I like maths and outer space... National Theatre's production is

:14:29.:14:34.

playing to full houses. It is just down the road from this play - the

:14:34.:14:41.

Audience. When I walk into a room, heads fail to turn. Oh, how lovely.

:14:41.:14:46.

It won two awards, including Best Actress.

:14:46.:14:56.

The Queen won a BAFTA this year. I think she will be thrilled to get

:14:56.:15:00.

an Olivier as well Each time I feel people are responding to the Queen.

:15:00.:15:04.

There is a feeling of love and respect coming generally towards

:15:04.:15:08.

the Queen. I think I am coasting along on that wave of love and

:15:08.:15:17.

respect. Sweeney Todd enjoyed a successful

:15:17.:15:23.

West End run. It got awards for both its actors.

:15:23.:15:28.

Thank you very much indeed. Tonight was about celebrating British

:15:29.:15:34.

theatre, which despite the nature of our financial times is probably

:15:34.:15:38.

shows there is no business like show business!

:15:38.:15:47.

OK, let's take you to the sport now. Thank you very much. Good evening.

:15:47.:15:52.

QPR and Reading were trying to avoid relegation today. Match of

:15:52.:15:55.

the Day 2 and Sportscene follow this programme. Please pop out of

:15:55.:16:01.

the room to f you don't want to know what happened. QPR and Reading

:16:01.:16:05.

were decided by a goalless draw. Both are relegated. 25 points a

:16:05.:16:11.

piece, with three games remaining is not enough to regain Premier

:16:11.:16:18.

League status. Manchester United were given a guard of honour by

:16:18.:16:24.

Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. An early mistake by Robin van Persie

:16:24.:16:31.

gave Theo Walcott the chance to make amends. Chelsea beat Swansea

:16:31.:16:37.

2-0 with Frank Lampard scoring his 201st goal for the club. He needs

:16:37.:16:45.

one more to equal the record held by Bobby Tambling. Scottish Premier

:16:45.:16:50.

League champions received a guard of honour from Motherwell.

:16:50.:16:52.

They are guaranteed to play European football next season.

:16:52.:16:57.

Saracens were knocked out of the Heineken Cup by Toulon in today's

:16:57.:17:00.

semi-final at Twickenham. Jonny Wilkinson, who is the Toulon

:17:00.:17:04.

captain, was the difference between the two sides kicking seven

:17:04.:17:14.
:17:14.:17:14.

penalties, plus a drop-goal to help his side to a 24-14 victory.

:17:14.:17:22.

The eyes indicate Jonny Wilkinson is not a man given to sentiment. It

:17:22.:17:27.

was a chance to compare himself to Farrell. The first kick went to

:17:27.:17:32.

Farrell. With it when the early lead. Wilkinson went through the

:17:32.:17:37.

famous routine. The same pose as ever and the same result, as ever.

:17:37.:17:41.

Of course playing Number Ten is not just about kicking, you need to be

:17:41.:17:46.

good with your hands too. Saracens had a chance of a try. This forward

:17:46.:17:51.

pass from Farrell meant it was not allowed. Toulon stayed ahead. A

:17:51.:17:56.

lead Wilkinson enforced when ever and wherever he got the chance T

:17:56.:18:01.

French club needed to get clear - Wilkinson got into range. He knows

:18:01.:18:06.

when a drop goal is needed. Too fast for his younger rival, who

:18:06.:18:13.
