Ashya King was taken out of Southampton General Hospital, where

:00:27.:00:31.

he was being treated for a brain tumour, on Thursday afternoon.

Live now to Duncan Kennedy who joins us

:00:37.:00:38.

Duncan? Well, Rachel, you get a growing sense of frustration here

:00:39.:00:51.

among the police over why it's taking so long to find a family of

:00:52.:00:55.

nine, travelling in a people carrier across Europe. But the fact is,

Ashya, and his family are still missing although as you said this

morning they do have a significant new lead. It is now two days since

:01:04.:01:09.

Asher was taken from hospital and the police say they are desperate to

find him. This video shows his family on a recent trip to Spain,

:01:14.:01:17.

that is where the police search is now being concentrated. Officers

:01:18.:01:21.

think that his parents may have links with southern Spain, having

:01:22.:01:26.

gone there on holiday. They have asked Spanish police to join the

:01:27.:01:30.

operation to find the five-year-old, who remain seriously ill with a

brain tumour. They have close links in Spain, we are working closely

Thursday night the hospital at Southampton alerted the police he

was missing. By that time they were in France. Nobody knows why his

:02:10.:02:13.

parents took him from the hospital, but there is no suggestion they have

:02:14.:02:18.

broken the law. In fact the police say that the priority is not why he

:02:19.:02:23.

was taken, it is simply where is he? That is why the focus on Spain is

:02:24.:02:28.

now so important. The story of the missing boy has led to huge

:02:29.:02:32.

interest, especially across social media. Not only have the police been
