:00:22. > :00:25.In the last hour, Downing Street has revealed that

:00:26. > :00:28.the Education Secretary, Michael Gove, has apologised to the

:00:29. > :00:31.Prime Minister over his part in a row with the Home Secretary,

:00:32. > :00:35.Theresa May, over the handling of alleged Muslim extremism in schools.

:00:36. > :00:38.At the same time, Mrs May's special advisor has resigned

:00:39. > :00:43.It comes two days before the inspection reports are

:00:44. > :00:47.published into claims that Muslim hardliners tried to take control

:00:48. > :00:55.I'm joined now by our political correspondent, Chris Mason.

:00:56. > :01:01.Remind us of the background. This was a huge public row that blew up

:01:02. > :01:05.between two of the most senior Conservative Ministers of all on the

:01:06. > :01:08.day of the Queen's Speech, the day that the Government wants to present

:01:09. > :01:12.a united front and set out its programme for the year ahead. There

:01:13. > :01:17.was this row between Theresa May and Michael Gove over how the Government

:01:18. > :01:20.should approach these allegations in Birmingham surrounding 21 schools

:01:21. > :01:26.and suggestions of extremist Muslim involvement. So, that is where all

:01:27. > :01:30.of this began. The Prime Minister was clearly furious that his big day

:01:31. > :01:34.had been overshadowed. He demanded there should be an investigation by

:01:35. > :01:37.the country's most senior civil servant. The Prime Minister wanted

:01:38. > :01:41.to act decisively and it means both Ministers have now taken a hit. One

:01:42. > :01:46.apologising, the other losing a close advisor. Both of them made to

:01:47. > :01:53.forfeit something. What are the implications? The Government has to

:01:54. > :01:56.pick itself up now and try and present that united front it would

:01:57. > :02:00.have loved to have done a couple of days ago and couldn't. The Prime

:02:01. > :02:04.Minister will hope they can do that. There is a bigger question about

:02:05. > :02:08.education policy, dealing with those allegations that have been made and

:02:09. > :02:13.we are not at the end of that. On Monday, Ofsted will publish 21

:02:14. > :02:17.reports into those schools there with their conclusions. Michael Gove

:02:18. > :02:18.will be before MPs in the Commons answering questions. We haven't got

:02:19. > :02:23.to the end of this yet. Thank you. The new Ukrainian President,

:02:24. > :02:27.Petro Poroshenko, has been sworn Mr Poroshenko said he would work to

:02:28. > :02:32.make Ukraine a full member of the European Union - and he

:02:33. > :02:35.pledged that Crimea, which was annexed by Russia in March, would

:02:36. > :02:39.always be Ukrainian territory. Russia's President Putin has ordered

:02:40. > :03:00.that security be strengthened along In Kiev, this was a day of pomp for

:03:01. > :03:04.a new President. Petro Poroshenko is the billionaire businessman who has

:03:05. > :03:08.promised to restore peace to his country. Hand on The Bible, he took

:03:09. > :03:15.the Oath of Office. Then, he announced his plan for ending the

:03:16. > :03:21.violence in eastern Ukraine. He promised an amnesty to those who

:03:22. > :03:25.laid down their arms and who had no blood on their hands. There would be

:03:26. > :03:30.more autonomy and insurgents would be allowed to return home.

:03:31. > :03:35.Yesterday, President Poroshenko met President Putin in France. Today,

:03:36. > :03:41.the Kremlin leader ordered tighter security along Russia's border with

:03:42. > :03:47.Ukraine. This is why. In recent days, there's been fierce fighting

:03:48. > :03:50.across the border. Armed separatists battling Ukrainian forces. It's

:03:51. > :03:58.known that some of the insurgents have crossed over from Russia. We

:03:59. > :04:05.went to see a training camp for one pro-Russian militia in Donetsk. They

:04:06. > :04:10.call themselves The Russian Orthodox Army and they believe God is on

:04:11. > :04:17.their side. Their commander rejected any talk of peace.

:04:18. > :04:24.TRANSLATION: If Putin and Poroshenko do a deal behind our backs, we will

:04:25. > :04:29.still carry on fighting until we reach western Ukraine and then, we

:04:30. > :04:33.will drink champagne. President Poroshenko may have

:04:34. > :04:38.presented a peace plan, there may be some signs of diplomatic activity,

:04:39. > :04:45.but eastern Ukraine is awash with weapons and fighters. Ending this

:04:46. > :04:51.conflict isn't going to be easy. There is no greater challenge than

:04:52. > :04:55.to deliver peace and prevent the country from splitting apart.

:04:56. > :04:58.Portuguese police have told the BBC that "several suspects"

:04:59. > :05:01.are likely to be questioned in the very near future over the

:05:02. > :05:07.It comes as forensic teams continue their examination of a section

:05:08. > :05:09.of private scrubland near to where Madeleine went missing in

:05:10. > :05:19.From there, Jon Kay sent this report.

:05:20. > :05:22.After a week searching this Portuguese wasteland,

:05:23. > :05:27.British officers are now working through the weekend.

:05:28. > :05:31.But their investigation goes beyond the scanning and the digging.

:05:32. > :05:36.The authorities here now say it's likely that several local suspects

:05:37. > :05:39.will be questioned about the disappearance of Madeleine McCann

:05:40. > :05:45.We understand it will happen in next couple of weeks

:05:46. > :05:51.They have been focussing on one particular sighting

:05:52. > :05:55.of a man carrying a child down this road in Praia da Luz

:05:56. > :06:01.Last October, detectives released two photofit images of an

:06:02. > :06:09.A number of men whose phone records place them near the apartment where

:06:10. > :06:12.Madeleine was staying are also of interest to the police.

:06:13. > :06:17.Seven years on, I would hope they would actually have learnt...

:06:18. > :06:20.Robert Murat was the first suspect in this case.

:06:21. > :06:23.He was later cleared of any involvement, but still lives

:06:24. > :06:27.with the stigma and given the massive media interest, he believes

:06:28. > :06:32.future suspects shouldn't be identified unless they are charged.

:06:33. > :06:35.I would hope those people would be protected, but if they aren't

:06:36. > :06:40.protected and their names come out, that can be devastating.

:06:41. > :06:44.But before any suspects are questioned, next week two more areas

:06:45. > :06:47.of this resort are set to be searched.

:06:48. > :06:55.Malaysian authorities have confirmed that a body found in the jungle IS

:06:56. > :06:59.that of the missing British backpacker Gareth Huntley.

:07:00. > :07:02.Mr Huntley disappeared last month while trekking to a waterfall

:07:03. > :07:04.on an island in the south-east of the country.

:07:05. > :07:07.His body was found on the banks of a stream

:07:08. > :07:17.near a conservation project where he'd been working as a volunteer.

:07:18. > :07:19.The Queen has ended her state visit to France with a tour of a Paris

:07:20. > :07:22.flower market which the city has renamed in her honour.

:07:23. > :07:24.Accompanied by the Duke of Edinburgh and French President Francois

:07:25. > :07:27.Hollande she was shown around what is now called

:07:28. > :07:29.the "Marche aux Fleurs - Reine Elizabeth Deux".

:07:30. > :07:37.The three-day visit was held to mark the D-Day anniversary.

:07:38. > :07:41.A World War Two veteran who went missing from his care home

:07:42. > :07:43.and travelled to France for the D-Day anniversary, has returned

:07:44. > :07:48.Bernard Jordan is 89 and was a Royal Navy officer in the war.

:07:49. > :07:52.He decided to make his own way to Normandy after he was told it was

:07:53. > :08:03.89-year-old Bernard Jordan travelling back across the Channel

:08:04. > :08:08.at the end of his own personal Normandy landing.

:08:09. > :08:11.No longer missing in action, he returned to his care home

:08:12. > :08:14.in Hove this morning, two days after spiriting himself out of

:08:15. > :08:19.the country on a ferry having failed to get on an organised D-Day trip.

:08:20. > :08:22.Tired and in the hands of a national newspaper, it was

:08:23. > :08:30.He was in fantastic form, really good, in high spirits, a bit tired

:08:31. > :08:34.A bit embarrassed as well by all the attention he's getting,

:08:35. > :08:40.Bernard Jordan spent the war in the Navy trying to outwit

:08:41. > :08:44.It was that experience and cunning which enabled him

:08:45. > :08:47.to latch on to another party of veterans at yesterday's ceremonies,

:08:48. > :08:53.an exercise in military planning worthy of Eisenhower himself.

:08:54. > :08:57.With his own 48-hour Normandy campaign over, Bernard says he

:08:58. > :09:01.wants his life here to return to normal.

:09:02. > :09:05.But having hidden his medals under his coat as part of his escape plan

:09:06. > :09:08.from here, there may now be calls to to forge a new one for veterans

:09:09. > :09:13.just like Bernard, who show his kind of spirit and determination.

:09:14. > :09:33.It's been a thrilling day at Epsom. Our sports correspondent was

:09:34. > :09:36.watching on. The Epsom Derby has become unmissable and this sport of

:09:37. > :09:40.kings has one very fierce royal supporter. The Queen had dashed back

:09:41. > :09:47.from France to be here for what the bookies had deemed a one-horse race.

:09:48. > :09:50.COMMENTARY: There they go. Reputation rather than results had

:09:51. > :09:54.made Australia the red-hot favourite. Aidan O'Brien had called

:09:55. > :09:58.him the best horse he's ever trained, some were sceptical, but

:09:59. > :10:03.two and a-minutes was all it took to win over the doubters as O'Brien's

:10:04. > :10:05.son steered the colt clear of Kingston Hill with over a length to

:10:06. > :10:09.spare. COMMENTARY: These two fight out the

:10:10. > :10:16.Derby. Australia from Kingston Hill. Australia's won it!

:10:17. > :10:20.So, amidst all the hype, the hot favourite has delivered. Australia's

:10:21. > :10:24.victory makes it an historic day for Aidan O'Brien. He becomes the first

:10:25. > :10:28.trainer to win this race three times in a row.
