:00:20. > :00:22.A forensic team in Malaysia is examining a body
:00:23. > :00:25.believed to be that of the London backpacker, Gareth Huntley, who went

:00:33. > :00:37.The body was found close to where the 34`year`old
:00:38. > :00:48.Jennifer Pak sent this report from Tioman Island.
:00:49. > :00:55.Life on the island looks back to normal. Local children play and
:00:56. > :01:01.tourists explore. But not f`r from this beach there has been a manhunt.
:01:02. > :01:06.Gareth Huntley was volunteering at a sea turtle project but took time off
:01:07. > :01:12.last Tuesday to take a walk in the jungle alone. Rescued queues have
:01:13. > :01:17.looked neither trail on land and from the air. I could not fhnd
:01:18. > :01:24.anything. Malaysia and police say because of this, the dense jungle.
:01:25. > :01:28.You can imagine how easy it is for someone to hide in there. Btt this
:01:29. > :01:34.is where a man's body was found 100 metres away from where he h`d been
:01:35. > :01:38.volunteering at. Only a few paces away where rescue workers h`d been
:01:39. > :01:43.staying for the past three days It raises a lot of questions. How
:01:44. > :01:49.horror was the search and w`s this an accident or foul play? It is an
:01:50. > :01:57.agonising wait for Gareth Htntley's mother. Malaysia and police say it
:01:58. > :02:02.will take two days to confirm whether the body is Gareth Huntley.
:02:03. > :02:10.Many people here make a livhng off tourists. It is still a safd place.
:02:11. > :02:16.People will still want to come. I just want to tell the peopld, it is
:02:17. > :02:20.very safe to come here. These rescue workers are the last to leave the
:02:21. > :02:21.island. The search for Gareth Huntley has been called off, but
:02:22. > :02:25.many questions still linger. An officer from Essex Policd has
:02:26. > :02:28.been arrested in connection with an investigation into
:02:29. > :02:31.an allegation of a sexual offence. The force say the man was arrested
:02:32. > :02:35.on May the 8th and has been suspended from his post pending
:02:36. > :02:40.the outcome of the investig`tion. Hundreds of people had to bd

:02:49. > :02:52.hundreds of people being ev`cuated Sonja Jessup can tell us more
:02:53. > :03:04.about happened. There was no fire, but a buhlding of
:03:05. > :03:12.this size, nobody was taking any chances. It was evacuated this
:03:13. > :03:18.afternoon and 900 people had to walk down all of those stairs to safety.
:03:19. > :03:25.Roads were closed off as emdrgency services moved in. 55 firefhghters
:03:26. > :03:29.came out and what they found was smoke in the basement. They said the
:03:30. > :03:34.response was necessary becatse of the size of the building. It is a
:03:35. > :03:41.large building and the baselent area is a large complex. However, we have
:03:42. > :03:45.been involved in various exdrcises within this building prior to its
:03:46. > :03:50.opening and apps `` after it is open to make sure our planning w`s in
:03:51. > :03:58.place. No fire, but it did have an impact on the area? The main thing
:03:59. > :04:00.is nobody was hurt. Emergency services say in terms of getting
:04:01. > :04:06.everybody out, everything wdnt smoothly. But local traders who lost
:04:07. > :04:17.business, don't see it that way We lost money, about ?1500. It is very
:04:18. > :04:21.bad. What caused the smoke? That still remains a mystery, but what we
:04:22. > :04:27.are told is it is not being treated as suspicious.
:04:28. > :04:30.Nearly three years after thd London riots, businesses in some affected
:04:31. > :04:34.areas say they're still fighting to get their livelihoods back.
:04:35. > :04:35.Among the complaints are insurance companies dragging their fedt
:04:36. > :04:38.and having layers of bureaucracy to deal with.
:04:39. > :04:40.So now, the government has pledged to speed things up.
:04:41. > :04:47.Here's our Political Correspondent, Karl Mercer.
:04:48. > :04:53.Behind the gates they used to be shops. Behind the hoardings,
:04:54. > :04:57.businesses would thrive. But on the road into Croydon there is `
:04:58. > :05:06.reminder of what happened in 20 1. Just ask Deborah. You can sde more
:05:07. > :05:10.waste growing each day. The businesses around here are
:05:11. > :05:21.collapsing. They are building more flat spot not taking care of the
:05:22. > :05:30.damage that was done in the riot will stop this is what is bdhind the
:05:31. > :05:32.hoardings, the remains of a business this family owned for 30 ye`rs here.
:05:33. > :05:34.It is sad to see 30 years of work go down the drain for no reason.
:05:35. > :05:35.Scaffolding stands where her launderette once did and her battle
:05:36. > :05:39.for compensation was only sdttled a month ago. There was no single point
:05:40. > :05:44.of contact. The assurance w`s separate. We had an assessor who
:05:45. > :05:49.dealt with some people but then there was another whole laydr of
:05:50. > :05:54.government who dealt with this. It was a nightmare. Just down the road
:05:55. > :05:59.is this man, whose jewellerx shop was looted, and although he has had
:06:00. > :06:05.some compensation his claim has not been settled despite plenty of
:06:06. > :06:12.promises from people in powdr at the time of the riots. David Caleron
:06:13. > :06:16.came two days after the riots. My shop is in one of the worst effect
:06:17. > :06:22.on areas. He sat next to me and said, don't worry. You will get your
:06:23. > :06:32.compensation. It is cases lhke these that have prompted the government to
:06:33. > :06:40.look at the act. We are proposing a new raw rope to be set up in the
:06:41. > :06:42.wake of widespread rioting so there would be a system which would mean
:06:43. > :06:49.things would hope Willie happen faster in future. The government
:06:50. > :06:50.consultation will run until August the 1st, almost three years to the
:06:51. > :06:55.day since the riots hit London. That's it from me for tonight,
:06:56. > :07:09.so let's get A decent day tomorrow. Overnight, we
:07:10. > :07:16.will have clear skies. That will allow temperatures to dip away a
:07:17. > :07:19.little bit. Single figure temperatures outside of town but in
:07:20. > :07:26.the centre of London, about ten or 11 degrees. Plenty more sunshine to
:07:27. > :07:32.come. Hazy now and then thanks to the high cloud but temperattres as
:07:33. > :07:43.high as 24 degrees. Looking forward to the weekend, thundery showers. As
:07:44. > :07:50.you will have seen, I cannot promise you sunshine and blue skies, but I
:07:51. > :07:53.can promise warm. Warmer conditions will be growing up. The heat at the
:07:54. > :07:59.moment is across parts of Spain and south-west France. You can see the
:08:00. > :08:04.orange colour is developing. To the west we have low pressure. Winds
:08:05. > :08:10.circulating anticlockwise and those developing southerly winds will
:08:11. > :08:16.bring the warmth towards us. We could get some bursts of rain
:08:17. > :08:20.tonight. But most will be dry. Cloudy and misty over parts of
:08:21. > :08:21.Scotland with extensive hill and coastal fog out towards the
