:00:24. > :00:26.that a critically ill five year old boy, who's gone missing with
:00:27. > :00:31.Ashya King was taken out of Southampton General Hospital, where
:00:32. > :00:36.he was being treated for a brain tumour, on Thursday afternoon.
:00:37. > :00:38.Live now to Duncan Kennedy who joins us
:00:39. > :00:51.Duncan? Well, Rachel, you get a growing sense of frustration here
:00:52. > :00:55.among the police over why it's taking so long to find a family of
:00:56. > :00:59.nine, travelling in a people carrier across Europe. But the fact is,
:01:00. > :01:03.Ashya, and his family are still missing although as you said this
:01:04. > :01:09.morning they do have a significant new lead. It is now two days since
:01:10. > :01:13.Asher was taken from hospital and the police say they are desperate to
:01:14. > :01:17.find him. This video shows his family on a recent trip to Spain,
:01:18. > :01:21.that is where the police search is now being concentrated. Officers
:01:22. > :01:26.think that his parents may have links with southern Spain, having
:01:27. > :01:30.gone there on holiday. They have asked Spanish police to join the
:01:31. > :01:36.operation to find the five-year-old, who remain seriously ill with a
:01:37. > :01:40.brain tumour. They have close links in Spain, we are working closely
:01:41. > :01:48.with the police, our colleagues will be going to a presiding judge to
:01:49. > :01:53.extend the search over Spain. The search is now pan-European in scale,
:01:54. > :01:57.it began at two o'clock on Thursday, at Southampton General Hospital when
:01:58. > :02:01.he was removed by his parents. At four o'clock is whole family went to
:02:02. > :02:05.Portsmouth where they got on a ferry to France. At eight o'clock on
:02:06. > :02:09.Thursday night the hospital at Southampton alerted the police he
:02:10. > :02:13.was missing. By that time they were in France. Nobody knows why his
:02:14. > :02:18.parents took him from the hospital, but there is no suggestion they have
:02:19. > :02:23.broken the law. In fact the police say that the priority is not why he
:02:24. > :02:28.was taken, it is simply where is he? That is why the focus on Spain is
:02:29. > :02:32.now so important. The story of the missing boy has led to huge
:02:33. > :02:37.interest, especially across social media. Not only have the police been
:02:38. > :02:40.using it to find him, but a family friend has asked people not to judge
:02:41. > :02:46.'s parents, describing them as a loving family. But there is
:02:47. > :02:51.frustration among the police over why it is taking so long to find
:02:52. > :02:53.him, he is still missing and still in danger. Duncan Kennedy, BBC News

:05:31. > :05:33.night at St Mary's being treated by doctors and having x-rays taken
:05:34. > :05:38.after he was apparently attacked by a complete stranger. It was about
:05:39. > :05:44.7:45pm, in Notting Hill gate, members of the public were asking
:05:45. > :05:48.for his photograph. When this man suddenly lashed out, as he was
:05:49. > :05:52.punching Mr Galloway apparently, it kept shouting about Israel, the
:05:53. > :06:03.Holocaust and at one point actually called the MP Heckler. Mr Galloway
:06:04. > :06:09.'s spokesman thinks this attack could have been caused by his
