:01:24. > :01:28.arrested in Malaga last night and are due in court tomorrow
:01:29. > :01:32.facing extradition proceedings. Today, Hampshire Police defended
:01:33. > :01:34.their decision to launch Let's go live now to Malaga
:01:35. > :01:40.and our correspondent there, Tom Burridge, who's outside the hospital
:01:41. > :01:54.where Ashya's being treated. Good evening. Hampshire Police have
:01:55. > :01:58.confirmed today that Ashya King has been moved from high to low
:01:59. > :02:02.dependency at Malaga's main Children's Hospital. He was moved
:02:03. > :02:06.here late last night. Although it is important to keep stressing that his
:02:07. > :02:10.parents did nothing wrong, all that is the suggestion at least, when
:02:11. > :02:12.they removed him from hospital in Hampshire on Thursday, they were
:02:13. > :02:19.arrested late last night in a hotel not far from Malaga.
:02:20. > :02:23.After a long journey, all the way from Hampshire, this is the hotel
:02:24. > :02:29.near Malaga where Ashya King's parents checked in with their seven
:02:30. > :02:32.children yesterday afternoon. This woman was working on reception and
:02:33. > :02:37.recognised their car after reading about the search on a Spanish
:02:38. > :02:40.website. She alerted the police. TRANSLATION: They did not seem
:02:41. > :02:46.surprised to see the police. They were calm, who operative and just
:02:47. > :02:51.worried about their son. Ashya King is seriously ill with a brain tumour
:02:52. > :02:54.and was taken in a ambulance to Malaga's main Children's Hospital
:02:55. > :02:58.where he is now being treated. Last night, his parents were arrested by
:02:59. > :03:03.Spanish police. They are being held at a police station in the region. A
:03:04. > :03:06.police source told me they were arrested on suspicion of
:03:07. > :03:13.maltreatment of a child. It is an allegation they strongly denied.
:03:14. > :03:16.Before his arrest, Ashya King's father released this YouTube video,
:03:17. > :03:20.insisting they were taking good care of their son. We were most disturbed
:03:21. > :03:25.today to find that his face is all over the Internet and newspapers,
:03:26. > :03:30.and we have been labelled as kidnappers. There has been a lot of
:03:31. > :03:37.talk about this machine. As you can see, it is all plugged in. We have
:03:38. > :03:40.got loads of these feeds, here. There is nothing to suggest that his
:03:41. > :03:44.parents broke the law when they removed their son from the hospital
:03:45. > :03:48.in Hampshire. Southampton General Hospital says it is delighted that
:03:49. > :03:51.he has now been found. There has been significant debate about the
:03:52. > :03:56.appropriateness of police involvement in the case. Today,
:03:57. > :04:00.Hampshire Police defended their actions. Medical experts were
:04:01. > :04:04.telling us that if he did not get the care he needed, there was a
:04:05. > :04:07.potential threat to his life. Faced with those circumstances, I make no
:04:08. > :04:11.apology for the police being as proactive as we possibly could be,
:04:12. > :04:16.to find him and ensure he gets the help he needs. Ashya King's parents
:04:17. > :04:22.say they removed him from hospital so he could have a treatment called
:04:23. > :04:26.proton beam therapy. The complex and sensitive nature of this young
:04:27. > :04:29.boy's story, and that of his family, means it is hard to predict what
:04:30. > :04:31.will happen next but everyone shares one priority: The health of the
:04:32. > :04:33.young boy. So as we've heard, Ashya's parents
:04:34. > :04:36.want a special treatment for his It's not currently available
:04:37. > :04:41.in the UK but in some circumstances, the NHS pays
:04:42. > :04:46.for children to be treated abroad. Jon Brain has been finding
:04:47. > :04:57.out what it involves. Behind the raw emotion of a
:04:58. > :05:02.desperate family's fights to help their critically ill son is a
:05:03. > :05:08.dispute over medical practice. We asked the NHS. Ashya King's father
:05:09. > :05:13.believes his team should be treated with something called proton beam
:05:14. > :05:18.therapy. It is so much better for children with cancer. It zones in on
:05:19. > :05:23.the area, whereby normal radiation passes right through his head, and
:05:24. > :05:28.comes out the other side, destroys everything in his head. So what
:05:29. > :05:31.exactly is proton beam therapy? In conventional radiotherapy, cancer
:05:32. > :05:36.cells are bombarded with high-energy x-rays in a bid to destroy them.
:05:37. > :05:39.Proton beams there are people direct the radiation precisely to where it
:05:40. > :05:43.is needed, with minimal damage to surrounding tissue. This makes it
:05:44. > :05:50.particularly suitable for some complex childhood cancers. Morgan
:05:51. > :05:55.were sent to the US for proton beam treatment for his tumour. His mother
:05:56. > :06:01.can sympathise with the family. I understand totally where they are
:06:02. > :06:07.coming from. You have to do everything in your power to make
:06:08. > :06:13.your child right, and you would do anything. The NHS does pay to send
:06:14. > :06:18.people aboard the treatment -- abroad for the treatment. Last
:06:19. > :06:24.year, 143 cases were considered, and 122 approved, of whom 99 were
:06:25. > :06:27.children. It costs around ?100,000 per patient. But medical experts say
:06:28. > :06:35.it is by no means suitable for everyone. The efficacy in many brain
:06:36. > :06:40.tumours has not improved at all. It is not widely regarded as the best
:06:41. > :06:44.treatment for many tumours. It appears that the doctors treating
:06:45. > :06:47.Ashya felt that in his case, conventional treatment in the UK
:06:48. > :06:59.would give this little boy the best chance of making a recovery.
:07:00. > :07:02.Ashya's parents are due to appear at an extradition hearing in Madrid
:07:03. > :07:07.early tomorrow morning. Hampshire Police officers are in Malaga. And
:07:08. > :07:11.the British Embassy is involved. At this stage, it is still unclear what
:07:12. > :07:15.will happen to Ashya, in a stable condition in hospital behind me, and
:07:16. > :07:20.his six siblings who I believe are still in Malaga. It could depend to
:07:21. > :07:21.a large extent on what happens at the extradition hearing for his
:07:22. > :07:24.parents in Madrid tomorrow morning. The BBC understands the government
:07:25. > :07:27.is planning to introduce temporary bans on UK-born jihadists in Iraq
:07:28. > :07:32.and Syria returning to the UK. The government had been
:07:33. > :07:34.considering ways to remove citizenship from those suspected of
:07:35. > :07:38.being involved in terrorist acts. Our political correspondent
:07:39. > :07:48.Vicki Young is at Westminster. The government has been wrestling
:07:49. > :07:52.with what to do about British jihadis. Why have they settled on
:07:53. > :07:56.what is effectively a travel ban on them coming home? Speaking to those
:07:57. > :08:00.who have been working on this, they don't want to announce a raft of
:08:01. > :08:04.measures and then watch them slowly unravel in the courts over the
:08:05. > :08:08.coming weeks and months as has happened in the past. There are
:08:09. > :08:10.several areas they are looking at, one is prevention, beefing up

:08:23. > :08:25.passports to stop them travelling abroad and this controversial idea
:08:26. > :08:28.of stopping them coming home. People are already questioning whether that
:08:29. > :08:32.would be legal. Another potential sticking point is the surveillance
:08:33. > :08:35.of suspected terrorists. These kind of measures have been watered down
:08:36. > :08:39.in the past and David Cameron is under great pressure to toughen the
:08:40. > :08:42.rules again but there is no doubt when MPs return tomorrow and listen
:08:43. > :08:45.to what he has to say after the summer break, they will once again
:08:46. > :08:47.be agonising over the threat from home-grown terrorists. Thank you for
:08:48. > :08:49.joining us. In Iraq, government forces are
:08:50. > :08:52.reported to have entered the town of Amerli, which had been under
:08:53. > :08:55.siege by Islamic State extremists. The US carried out limited air
:08:56. > :08:58.strikes in the area against the militants, and now aid
:08:59. > :09:02.supplies have been dropped in. Our Middle East correspondent,
:09:03. > :09:12.Jim Muir, is in northern Iraq now. You have been close to where the
:09:13. > :09:20.fighting has been taking place. What did you see? A lot of militia men,
:09:21. > :09:24.Shia militia men, mainly, and also Kurdish forces, who has been taking
:09:25. > :09:30.part in the operation, mainly by bombarding and shooting at nearby
:09:31. > :09:35.Islamic State positions. And of course, there was celebration
:09:36. > :09:39.pushing up from the South, south-east and south-west, had
:09:40. > :09:43.broken in. Those are Iraqi army forces, backed by Shia militia. They
:09:44. > :09:48.seem to be the main force on the ground. The way for this was
:09:49. > :09:52.prepared by American air strikes. It is the first time the Americans have
:09:53. > :09:56.used their airpower slightly indirectly, in support of manoeuvres
:09:57. > :10:00.on the ground by the Iraqi army and Sheila militia, some of whom were
:10:01. > :10:05.involved in fighting the Americans in their last two years of the
:10:06. > :10:09.occupation. -- Shia militia. It is kind of an ironic situation but the
:10:10. > :10:13.air strikes, according to those on the ground, made a big difference,
:10:14. > :10:16.combined with airdrops of emergency supplies to the thousands of people
:10:17. > :10:18.trapped in the town. The siege has now been, mercifully for them,
:10:19. > :10:22.broken. Thank you for joining us. Russia's President, Vladimir Putin,
:10:23. > :10:26.says any agreement to end the conflict

:13:04. > :13:06.your vacuum cleaner is? It seems plenty of people do,

:13:13. > :13:23.carbon emissions, No one likes doing the housework, so
:13:24. > :13:26.the quicker it can be done, the better. But soon, it might take a
:13:27. > :13:30.bit longer as a new cap on the amount of energy vacuum cleaners can
:13:31. > :13:33.use comes into force. From Monday, no vacuum cleaner in Europe can be
:13:34. > :13:38.made or imported which consumes more than 1600 watts will stop that is
:13:39. > :13:42.around 11% less than the average device sold in Britain. All new
:13:43. > :13:47.devices must have a clear label rating its ability to pick up dust,
:13:48. > :13:50.energy efficiency and noise level. Wholesalers and retailers still have
:13:51. > :13:55.some time to tell their -- to sell their existing stock. The reduction
:13:56. > :14:01.in CO2 emissions was agreed by all the countries in the EU. This is not
:14:02. > :14:06.one of those cases where the EU is meddling in the British consumer's
:14:07. > :14:10.affairs. But many consumers are not taking the chance. Sales have spiked
:14:11. > :14:13.by almost 50% in some stores and certain brands have sold out

:14:29. > :14:34.honest, if somebody wants a stronger hoover, it is up to them to use more
:14:35. > :14:38.electric. This cap on the wattage used by vacuum cleaners may not be
:14:39. > :14:41.the end of it. And EU wide study is underway to find other devices which
:14:42. > :14:49.may need to be capped, like electric lawn mowers, kettles and even
:14:50. > :14:56.electric hairdryers. Some people are hot under the collar about it. It is
:14:57. > :15:00.absolutely ludicrous. If you are reducing the power, it takes longer,
:15:01. > :15:05.so the client is unhappy but if you reduce the power, you hold it for
:15:06. > :15:09.longer, which means they use as much energy anyway. But the cap might be
