group on Tioman, a small Island off the country's south east coast.

:00:29.:00:32.

Gareth Huntley was working for a turtle project on the idyllic

:00:33.:00:38.

tropical island of Tiomen and went off alone for a walk of about three

:00:39.:00:41.

When he didn't come back, his friends started searching for him.

:00:42.:00:47.

That search is now global, with friends and family launching

:00:48.:00:49.

a Facebook campaign to put pressure on the authorities in Malaysia.

:00:50.:00:55.

Gareth's mother is leaving the UK today and hopes to arrive on Tiomen

:00:56.:00:58.

I think anybody you speak to who knows Gareth will only have

:00:59.:01:07.

He's so thoughtful and understanding.

:01:08.:01:13.

And I'm obviously I'm biased because I'm his mum.

:01:14.:01:15.

Gareth had been travelling in Asia for about six months.

:01:16.:01:17.

He was due to start a new job soon in Singapore.

:01:18.:01:20.

His family here say the British Government needs to do more.

:01:21.:01:24.

My mother and father have spoken to the Foreign Office and they've

:01:25.:01:27.

We got told one day that there were search dogs

:01:28.:01:36.

It turned out there actually weren't.

:01:37.:01:40.

So that's obviously very concerning for us.

:01:41.:01:42.

My brother is out there, still. And we need to find him.

:01:43.:01:45.

This police boat, tied up at a pier on Tiomen, is evidence

:01:46.:01:48.

that the Malaysian authorities are now searching for Gareth.

:01:49.:01:51.

A police team of about 20, with a dog, is said to be on the island.

:01:52.:01:55.

With his family and friends say more needs to be done, and more quickly.

:01:56.:02:05.

The parents of a teenager who died say they

:02:06.:02:07.

can't grieve properly because mistakes in her care mean they don't

:02:08.:02:10.

19 year old Georgina Weaver was admitted to East Surrey Hospital

:02:11.:02:14.

in Redhill with debilitating headaches but a proper post mortem

:02:15.:02:17.

Georgina Weaver was studying animal care and wanted to be a vet.

:02:18.:02:26.

Her two dogs are now a daily reminder for her family

:02:27.:02:30.

Georgina suffered severe headaches for several years and was rushed

:02:31.:02:33.

Within a week, her life support machine was switched off.

:02:34.:02:39.

The ICT unit was in tears, because she affected everybody on that ward.

:02:40.:02:43.

Because they said it was so unusual to have a young adult,

:02:44.:02:48.

Georgina had a suspected brain condition called

:02:49.:02:53.

But the exact cause of her death couldn't be established because the

:02:54.:02:59.

It's an unusual condition in that the brain, in effect,

:03:00.:03:05.

So, part of the base of the brain is lodged the hole through which

:03:06.:03:12.

The hospital has since apologised for delaying

:03:13.:03:17.

the postmortem and said the staff involved no longer work there.

:03:18.:03:22.

Tomorrow would have been Georgina's 20th birthday.

:03:23.:03:37.

Her parents are building a memorial garden for her.

:03:38.:03:39.

But they say failings in her daughter's care have

:03:40.:03:43.

A 19`year`old man has been arrested at Heathrow airport on suspicion

:03:44.:03:52.

Officers said the arrest was in relation to Syria and have since

:03:53.:03:58.

It was not thought to be in response to any immediate risk or threat.

:03:59.:04:07.

Now, they've won the Women's FA Cup 12 times and Arsenal Ladies hope to

:04:08.:04:11.

make it 13 when they take on Everton tomorrow.

:04:12.:04:13.

The North London side have struggled this season and say they're not

:04:14.:04:16.

Arsenal has always been the dominant team in women's football. At times

:04:17.:04:30.

are changing. Everybody can beat everybody. We know it's going to be

:04:31.:04:33.

a hard game. Everton are not going to come into this game and want to

:04:34.:04:37.

get beat, like anyone. It's going to be a hard game but hopefully we can

:04:38.:04:38.

get the win and retain the trophy. Lets take a quick look

:04:39.:04:41.

at the weather. Apart from the chance of an isolated

:04:42.:04:43.

shower, tonight will be dry. Tomorrow will feel warm with sunny

:04:44.:04:46.

spells and light winds but the possibility

:04:47.:04:50.

of a few isolated showers later. That's it. We'll be back tomorrow

:04:51.:04:52.

evening, just after 10:45. Hello. So far, so good. Most of us

:04:53.:05:17.

have had a dry start of the weekend. Some of us will be turning wetter

:05:18.:05:21.

tomorrow. For that change we look to the far north-west of the UK.

:05:22.:05:25.

Overnight into western Scotland, thicker cloud. Patchy hybrids of

:05:26.:05:28.

rain moving in. Some of that reaching Northern Ireland late in

:05:29.:05:32.

the night. Elsewhere, dry. Where you are clear, you will see some patchy

:05:33.:05:36.

mist and
