Good afternoon. Three young women who disappeared in separate | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
incidents more than a decade ago in the United States have been found | :02:03. | :02:09. | |
alive at a house in Cleveland, Ohio. They had all been feared dead. | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
Amanda Berry, who was 16 when she disappeared managed to escape from | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
the house where she had been held and raised the alarm. Three | :02:17. | :02:24. | |
brothers have been arrested. Elation and disbelief. This | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
community presumed they would never see the young women again. Then the | :02:27. | :02:34. | |
unthinkable happened. We love you baby! We missed you! | :02:34. | :02:40. | |
On the emergency call, her voice was frantic, panicked. Amanda Berry, | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
who had gone missing ten years ago, pleaded for help. | :02:44. | :02:54. | |
:02:54. | :03:10. | ||
She had escaped after a neighbour heard her screams and helped her | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
out of the house. I looked and I see this girl and she's just going | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
nuts on the door, I am like, what's your problem, are you stuck? Just | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
open the door. She says, I can't, he got it locked. I look, it's only | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
enough to reach a hand out to grab the mail and close the door. And we, | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
you know, naturally going to pry it open, that didn't work. We had to | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
kick the bottom, that door was cheap and she climbed out, went to | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
my house and we called 911. Amanda Berry was found with two other | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
women, Gina DeJesus who vanished while working home from school when | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
she was 14 and Michele Knight who had been missing since 2003. All | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
three women are being assessed in hospital. Currently, they're safe. | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
We are in the process of evaluating their medical needs. They appear to | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
be in fair condition at the moment. This is really good, because this | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
isn't the ending we usually hear to these stories. We are very happy. | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
family reunited. This photo shows Amanda in the middle with her | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
sister, with them is a six-year-old girl, also found at the house. | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
Police have not confirmed that this is Amanda's daughter. Instead, they | :04:21. | :04:28. | |
focused on the women's escape. just truly, truly amazing and it's | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
a blessing to the community and to the members of the police | :04:32. | :04:38. | |
department and their families that they're alive. Three men are now in | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
police custody. Ariel Castro and two of his brothers. He had once | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
been a school bus driver. He lived in the house where the women were | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
discovered, a house that's now a major crime scene. Forensic teams | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
are examining the property as the police try to work out what | :04:54. | :05:01. | |
happened to the young women in the ten years they were missing. | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
We will have more on that extraordinary story later in the | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
programme. I will be speaking to a correspondent live from the scene | :05:07. | :05:13. | |
where the women were found. The comedian Jimmy Tarbuck has been | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
arrested over and allegation of child sexual abuse dating back to | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
the 1970s. Police say the entertainer, who was detained last | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
month, was questioned about an assault on a young boy. The 73- | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
year-old has been released on bail. This report contains some flash | :05:27. | :05:34. | |
photography. He is one of the most enduring | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
names in light entertainment in this country. Jimmy Tarbuck, with | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
some of his contemporaries, after last year's Royal Variety Show. | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
Down the years he has been a regular at this annual event and | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
for the Royals he has become a familiar face. In 1994, the Queen | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
appointed him an OBE for his services to show business and | :05:53. | :05:59. | |
charity. Now, he has become the latest celebrity arrest. In a | :05:59. | :06:08. | |
statement North Yorkshire Police The complaint relates to an | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
incident that occured in the late 1970s when the victim was a young | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
boy. It's more than a week since he was | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
questioned. The police only confirmed the arrest over the | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
weekend after questions from the media but didn't name him. There | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
has been no response from the entertainer himself. He lives on | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
this private estate in Kingston upon Thames in Surrey and his | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
manager has declined to comment. This case has added to the debate | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
over whether such arrests should be made public from the start. One | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
child protection campaigner believes they should. By putting | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
the name out there, whoever it might be, whether it's a celebrity | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
or a non-celebrity, sometimes that gives victims an opportunity to | :06:49. | :06:55. | |
come forward, have they suffered at the hands of the alleged abuser? | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
Jimmy Tarbuck's cheeky style made him a national name when tphefs his | :06:59. | :07:06. | |
20s. I am Jimmy Tarbuck, I am the only one here you never heard of. | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
This was an appearance at the London Palladium. He went on to | :07:10. | :07:18. | |
host the TV show from there. 40 years on, he was a contestant on | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
the Strictly Come Dancing, although he had to leave the show early for | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
health reasons. He is now on bail and hasn't been charged with any | :07:26. | :07:33. | |
offence. His old friend, Kenny lunch, seen with him -- Lynch, seen | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
here, said he didn't believe a word of the allegations. | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
The case for Britain to leave the European Union is now clear, that's | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
according to the former Conservative Chancellor, Lord | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
Lawson. Writing in The Times, the Peer says the economic gains of a | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
British exit from the EU would substantially outweigh the costs. | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
He's become the most senior Tory to confirm he will vote to leave the | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
Union if a referendum is held in 2017. Our political correspondent | :08:00. | :08:06. | |
Ross Hawkins reports. Over 20 years have passed since he | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
last sat behind a Minister's desk. But one of Margaret Thatcher's | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
Chancellors is causing trouble today by simply saying Britain will | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
be better off out of the European Union. This is a very important | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
issue for this country. I have reached a conclusion on it, but | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
others may reach a different conclusion. Let us not be | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
frightened of debating one of the biggest and most important issues | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
for this country. That is a challenge to David Cameron. The | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
Prime Minister's plan if he wins the election is to renegotiate with | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
Europe, put the results to the people in a referendum, and as he | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
explained in January, if he gets a good deal... I will campaign for it | :08:43. | :08:49. | |
with all my heart and all my soul. However committed his heart and | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
soul, Lord Lawson said the renegotiation would be no more than | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
a figureleaf, in other words, doomed to failure. After UKIP's | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
recent success some Tories say the party should pay close attention to | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
the former Chancellor. Important to reflect the mood of the people as | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
expressed in those local elections, it's a helpful pwer vention. The | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
party leadership does have to to listen to this plea. Senior | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
Conservatives suggested it's a plea that should be discussed when a | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
vote is closer. The great thing is that our Prime Minister has offered | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
an historic in-out referendum on Europe. All of those arguments | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
about whether you think it's better to be in or out and anything else | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
that's been said can be properly debated. The Prime Minister's team | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
are confident that he can get results, but some in the party will | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
wonder whether a mainstream figure like Lord Lawson saying he will | :09:43. | :09:48. | |
vote no might encourage other Conservatives to do the same. It | :09:48. | :09:56. | |
fell to the Lib Dem deputy prime minister to argue it would be risky. | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
It jeopardises potentially three million jobs in the world's largest | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
borderless single market. others the battle is on to convince | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
people it's time for a British Prime Minister to walk out of the | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
European Union for good. Stkpwhrp. Let's hear from our | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
political correspondent in Westminster, picking up on that. | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
How much of is a headache is this for the prime Prime Minister? | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
a headache, Lord Lawson brings respectability and credibility to | :10:27. | :10:33. | |
the no campaign. He is not one of the usual suspects, a Eurosceptic | :10:33. | :10:41. | |
rent a quote. He brings credibility to the no campaign, to those maybe | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
thinking about backing the no campaign. But although he is a | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
significant figure, the difficulty is even more pronounced than that, | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
and that's Mr Cameron wants to renegotiate a better deal but Lord | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
Lawson is saying that's not possible. You might as well put a | :10:57. | :11:03. | |
pipe in his mouth and wander around Europe like Harold Wilson and have | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
have no success. Mr Cameron wants to stop his party, as he puts it, | :11:07. | :11:13. | |
banging on about Europe and the real danger is of the lounge bar | :11:13. | :11:20. | |
bore syndrome and every time Mr Cameron tries to shush his party | :11:20. | :11:27. | |
over refer over Europe, the man at the bar says, and another thing | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
about Europe. Thank you. HSBC has announced a year doubling | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
in its global pre-tax profits for the first quarter of the year, due | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
in part to a large fall in losses from bad debts. It reported a pre- | :11:38. | :11:45. | |
tax profit of �5.4 billion, an increase of 95% compared with the | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
same quarter in 2012. The bank's chief executive said he couldn't | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
give any assurances over potential future job losses. | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
Staff at some of the largest Post Offices are taking part in another | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
day-long strike in a dispute over closures, jobs and pay. The action | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
will cover about 370 Crown Post Offices, they're the bigger | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
branches found on high streets in many towns. Some of these are due | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
to be franchised in an effort to reduce losses. The Post Office says | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
the action is extremely disappointed. | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
A young friend of the five-year-old April Jones has described seeing | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
the girl get into a grey Land Rover. A DVD of police interviews with the | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
seven-year-old witness, who can't be identified because of her age, | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
was played to the jury in Mark Bridger's trial. He denies | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
abducting and murdering April who went missing last October near her | :12:37. | :12:45. | |
home. The trial's been sitting this morning without the usual | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
formalities, judges and barristers taking off robes and gowns so that | :12:48. | :12:53. | |
they could hear from the very first witness, the child who was playing | :12:53. | :12:59. | |
with April Jones outside her home on the night she disappeared, the | :12:59. | :13:01. | |
seven-year-old friend who is the only person who saw what happened | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
to April when she went missing. April Jones' disappearance in | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
October last year triggered a seven-month search that was to | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
become the largest in UK police history. The five-year-old had been | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
playing on her bike outside her home when, according to the friend | :13:17. | :13:23. | |
she was with, April got into a stranger's car. With her teddy bear | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
for comfort, today that friend gave her account of the last time she | :13:27. | :13:33. | |
saw April. Appearing through video link the seven-year-old's identity | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
has been protected for legal reasons. The jury was shown her | :13:36. | :13:46. | |
:13:46. | :13:56. | ||
original police interview in which Mark Bridger says that his Land | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
Rover accidentally ran over April, denying abduction and murder. He | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
sat in the dock and listened while the seven-year-old's description of | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
him was played to the court. She was asked to repeat the description | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
of April's disappearance. She said she wasn't crying, she was happy, | :14:12. | :14:17. | |
she got in the back of the van and it drove off the same way it came. | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
The police search of Mark Bridger's house found several blood stains | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
that matched April's DNA and small fragments of bone in the fireplace | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
which experts say come from a child's skull. But April's body has | :14:30. | :14:39. | |
never been recovered. The defence has started asking | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
questions to the girl, asking her to recall different areas on the he | :14:42. | :14:47. | |
is state where she -- estate where she had been playing with April. | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
She will continue giving evidence this afternoon. Thank you. | :14:50. | :14:54. | |

World War. A memorial's been dedicated to those 48,000 young men, | :15:46. | :15:53. | |
many of whom were conscripted. It has been designed by a form former | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
Bevin boy. It is at the national National Memorial Arboretum in | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
Staffordshire. A beautiful morning here and a | :16:00. | :16:10. | |
:16:10. | :16:11. | ||
mellow day for many of the Bevin dos who've come to see what they've been | :16:11. | :16:20. | |
waiting for, recognition of their service. They What I've heard here | :16:20. | :16:25. | |
today is a real sense of comradeship among these survivors of the bees | :16:25. | :16:32. | |
and a great sense of -- survivors of the Bevin Boys and a great sense of | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
pride. More than six decades on and finally the recognition they longed | :16:36. | :16:42. | |
for. Elderly now, but like the rest of their generation they waited for | :16:42. | :16:52. | |
:16:52. | :16:56. | ||
the call-up papers to come. From 1943, 10% of those called up, | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
some 48,00018-25-year-olds were ordered to serve not in uniform but | :17:00. | :17:05. | |
the coal mines. The rationale was simple - without coal there could be | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
no war production. Without gunners fighter planes there could be no | :17:10. | :17:16. | |
victory. Today then the unveiling of a memorial, simple and workmanlike. | :17:16. | :17:21. | |
For Harry Parks a triumphant moment after so many years of fighting for | :17:21. | :17:27. | |
the Bevin Boys to receive an official national thank you. | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
Countess of Wessex is doing us the great honour to dedicate the | :17:32. | :17:37. | |
memorial I designed and had built, there's only two of us that worked | :17:37. | :17:44. | |
to get this here, and she will give us back our dignity, that says we | :17:44. | :17:49. | |
served our country, and that's what's been lacking. What's life | :17:49. | :17:54. | |
like for those young men we've heard so much about, the Bevin Boys? | :17:54. | :18:00. | |
was of course all smiles for the wartime newsreels. What wasn't | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
recorded it was hurt. There was little glory in the hard graft of | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
the mines, especially when your brothers and your mates were in | :18:07. | :18:12. | |
action on the front line. Being accused of being cowards was very | :18:12. | :18:18. | |
hard to take, because we weren't. It wasn't our fault we were in the coal | :18:18. | :18:27. | |
mines. We didn't have a uniform. All we had was a hard hat and a pair of | :18:27. | :18:32. | |
steel-toecaped boots. It is hard tonne how many of the Bevin Boys are | :18:32. | :18:38. | |
still with us. But those here today are remembering so many of those who | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
haven't livered to see this moment of recognition and pride. They've | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
longed for this day over many decades, and that pride is here for | :18:44. | :18:51. | |
all to see today. Frankly the before inboys have waited too long for -- | :18:51. | :18:56. | |
frankly the Bevin Boys have waited doing for this but they have a sense | :18:56. | :19:00. | |
of satisfaction today. Has confirmed that the Queen will not attend the | :19:00. | :19:02. | |
Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting this year. Will it from the | :19:02. | :19:07. | |
first time in 40 years she hadn't done so. Every two years leaders | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
meet to discuss global issues. This year Prince Charles will represent | :19:11. | :19:18. | |
the monarchy at the gathering in Sri Lanka. The reasons given? Distance, | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
distance from London. Buckingham Palace say they are reviewing their | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
long haul flights and that's the reason she isn't going this time. | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
This is the first time that the Palace has acknowledged that her | :19:30. | :19:36. | |
advancing years, 87 a couple of weeks ago, is having an impact on | :19:36. | :19:40. | |
her ability to perform her duties. The Commonwealth is important to | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
her. Prince Charles will go in her place, an important opportunity for | :19:44. | :19:49. | |
him. The Palace is keen to play down any suggestion that her | :19:49. | :19:54. | |
non-attendance is a judgment on the suitability or otherwise as a venue | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
for this Commonwealth meeting. There were eyebrows raised when it was | :19:58. | :20:03. | |
chosen. A lot of criticism about Sri Lanka's human rights record. The | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
Palace saying the reason she isn't going is entirely due to this | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
distance, the travel issue. I think there'll be those who feel it is in | :20:11. | :20:16. | |
some sense perhaps, I've heard the expression a subtle snub, but | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
clearly on this occasion this is a Commonwealth meeting that the Queen | :20:19. | :20:24. | |
is content to absent herself from. Nick, thank you. | :20:24. | :20:29. | |
David Cameron is hosting an international conference on the | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
future of Somalia. The Prime Minister said he hopes aid and | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
advice can help the new Somali Government stabilise the country, | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
around warned that failure to support the country could lead to | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
terrorism and extremism. Andrew Harding is in Mogadishu. It's a | :20:45. | :20:52. | |
country that faces many challenges. Do things look like improving? | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
are certainly changing dramatically in the past year. There hasn't been | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
a famine for some time. The piracy off the coast has pretty much | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
stopped. There's a new Government, a new Parliament, and the bat | :21:03. | :21:07. | |
approximately against Al-Shabaab, the Islamist militants who used to | :21:07. | :21:12. | |
control half this city and most of the countryside, hasn't quite been | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
won but they have been pushed deep into the countryside. Although | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
they've launched a few attacks here, they are a much weakened force now. | :21:20. | :21:27. | |
Britain is already heavily involved here. It is giving something like | :21:27. | :21:32. | |
�80 million this year alone. Corruption is a big problem, making | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
sure the money is spent wisely and well is difficult, but the British | :21:35. | :21:39. | |
Government says the money is being targeted above all at hungry | :21:39. | :21:44. | |
children. A lot of malnourishment, and looking at maternal health, and | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
trying to help the new Government here rebuild. It is training staff. | :21:48. | :21:54. | |
It is paying salaries. It is helping advise the new Somali Army. | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
Essentially this country has been devastated by 20 years of anarchy, | :21:58. | :22:02. | |
so it is having to rebuild from scratch. Foreign money from Britain | :22:02. | :22:08. | |
and elsewhere is playing an absolutely crucial role in that, and | :22:08. | :22:14. | |
making sure Somalia doesn't slip into into anarchy once more. | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
Officials in Bangladesh say the number of people confirmed dead | :22:18. | :22:24. | |
after a building collapsed last month has risen to more than 700. | :22:24. | :22:29. | |
Corkers clearing the site in -- workers clearing the site in Dhaka | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
have pulled hundreds of body from the rubble. | :22:33. | :22:38. | |
There'll be an apology today to the thousands of Irishmen who chose to | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
join the British Army during the Second World War. On their return | :22:42. | :22:49. | |
from the war the former troops were called deserters and traitors. They | :22:49. | :22:54. | |
lost their pensions and were banned from taking jobs in the Government. | :22:54. | :22:57. | |
Ireland's war Memorial Gardens were built to honour the service given | :22:57. | :23:03. | |
during years of conflict. However, between 1939 and 1945 the country | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
remained neutral. In order to fight, many soldiers left the Irish Army | :23:07. | :23:12. | |
and join the allies. They became known as the deserters, a title | :23:13. | :23:19. | |
designed to carry shame. This would be pa source of pride, this | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
photograph, for many families. would think so, but these lay in the | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
attic. Reid's father was one of the men who signed up with the British | :23:29. | :23:36. | |
Army. You learn as a kid your father was a trait o you should be ashamed | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
of him. Of Irish soldiers chose to fight. However, there were | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
consequences for them when they returned after the war. They weren't | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
allowed to hold a job paid for by the state for years, and they lost | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
all of their pension rights. This evening the Irish Government will | :23:51. | :23:56. | |
announce details of a pardon and amnesty for the so-called deserters, | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
a victory after a long ballot by campaigners. It would be a | :24:01. | :24:07. | |
recognition that the experience that they went through post-war was | :24:07. | :24:14. | |
unfair. There were practical concerns about soldiers deserting. | :24:14. | :24:18. | |
Many felt they were needed to protect against invasion, but | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
families say there could be no excuse for the discrimination they | :24:21. | :24:26. | |
suffered when they returned home and tried to find a job. I was with him | :24:27. | :24:36. | |
:24:37. | :24:37. | ||
at times when he went out looking for work. Being told... It is hard, | :24:37. | :24:43. | |
you know? A pardon should ensure that in future their actions will be | :24:43. | :24:51. | |
remembered only with pride. They wore sparkly jump suits, performed | :24:51. | :24:55. | |
in massive platform shoes and counted their album sales in the | :24:55. | :25:01. | |
hundreds of millions. Now the permanent museum dedicated to the | :25:01. | :25:07. | |
Swedish pop group Abba opens in Stockholm. It offers the choice to | :25:07. | :25:16. | |
be a Dancing Queen alongside life-sized models of the group. | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
Their catchy tunes are almost as popular today as they were nearly | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
four decades ago and this museum to to the supergroup is expecteded to | :25:24. | :25:29. | |
be a huge hit. Many no doubt wish they should have been in the band. | :25:29. | :25:32. | |
Thanks to attractions like this, they virtually can, with the | :25:33. | :25:38. | |
familiar Abba promise that alongside holographic hospitalations of the | :25:38. | :25:45. | |
group, you can dance, you can jive... As well as the interactive | :25:45. | :25:49. | |
exhibits there are displays showing items from Abba's past, ranging from | :25:49. | :25:54. | |
instruments to some of their famously flamboyant costumes, all | :25:54. | :26:00. | |
donated by the group. Bjorn Ulvaeus of the group speak at the launch but | :26:00. | :26:08. | |
disappointed some by confirming that the 1982 split will be permanent. | :26:08. | :26:14. | |
(Inaudible) as you all know, we've never re unite reunited, and so I | :26:14. | :26:19. | |
take the opportunity now to say that we are not going to either. Over the | :26:19. | :26:24. | |
past few years the museum has been touring cities, including Sydney and | :26:24. | :26:30. | |
London. Stockholm will now be its permanent home. It just is so good | :26:30. | :26:37. | |
to be part of music history really. I'm a boy in a candy shop. It feels | :26:37. | :26:43. | |
great. More are expected to come and pay tribute to the Swedish | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
supertroopers and in their own way say... Thank you for the music, for | :26:47. | :26:56. | |
giving it to me. More on our main story. The three | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
women found alive in Cleveland Ohio a decade after their experience. | :27:01. | :27:06. | |
Let's speak to an ABC correspondent at the scene. How are the women and | :27:06. | :27:12. | |
have they been reunited with their families? , they have been reunited | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
with their families. They were taken to the hospital shortly after they | :27:16. | :27:20. | |
left here, so they could be examined by doctors, as vector vectors figure | :27:20. | :27:24. | |
out what exactly these women went through over the last ten years. | :27:24. | :27:27. | |
This is the neighbourhood where everything happened. It is still the | :27:27. | :27:31. | |
morning hours here. People are waking up in a state of disbelief. | :27:31. | :27:34. | |
They just cannot believe that something like this could have | :27:34. | :27:39. | |
happened right here on their block, in their neighbourhood. As you can | :27:39. | :27:43. | |
see, there are investigators outside the house. Camera crews from all | :27:43. | :27:47. | |
over the country really here just trying to figure out what exactly | :27:47. | :27:52. | |
happened. The three young ladies were inside that house. According to | :27:52. | :27:56. | |
one neighbour that I spoke with, she said she heard some pounding. | :27:57. | :28:00. | |
Someone scratching. That's when she decided to come over and see what it | :28:00. | :28:05. | |
was. It turned out that that was one of the missing young ladies that was | :28:05. | :28:09. | |
screaming, trying to get someone to notice her. When she heard that, she | :28:09. | :28:13. | |
walked over and didn't know what to do. The neighbour didn't know what | :28:13. | :28:17. | |
to do, so she grabbed another neighbour and explained to her what | :28:17. | :28:21. | |
was going on. Together they got a third neighbour, a man, who helped | :28:21. | :28:26. | |
them push down that door and get those women out of the house. She | :28:26. | :28:30. | |
says they came out of that house frantic, running out there, | :28:30. | :28:35. | |
screaming for help, saying, " please call the politics I need help." The | :28:35. | :28:38. | |
investigation still continues. Authorities have three suspects in | :28:38. | :28:42. | |
custody and really just trying to piece together what's may have | :28:42. | :28:46. | |
happened over the course of the last ten years. An extraordinary story. | :28:46. | :28:56. | |
:28:56. | :28:57. | ||
It is another lovely day out there. Blue skies across the country. For | :28:57. | :29:01. | |
many place this is afternoon we've got more sunshine and very warm | :29:01. | :29:07. | |
indeed. The satellite picture shows that we've had more cloud this | :29:07. | :29:11. | |
south-east England. That's produced a few showers. Our weather front in | :29:11. | :29:16. | |
Scotland has been pushed northwards, still producing misty low cloud in | :29:16. | :29:20. | |
the northern isles. For the rest of Scotland a much better day, and much | :29:20. | :29:24. | |
better temperatures the as well. Highs in Glasgow of 20 degrees. | :29:24. | :29:29. | |
Northern Ireland, well broken cloud this afternoon. Still can't rule out | :29:29. | :29:33. | |
the odd sharp shower, but will you be unlucky if you catch one this | :29:33. | :29:37. | |
afternoon. Many places will be dry. Already temperatures in the low 20s. | :29:37. | :29:42. | |
Maybe a bit of high cloud in parts of Devon and Cornwall. Always a | :29:42. | :29:47. | |
touch cooler around the coast. For inland areas of England, this | :29:47. | :29:50. | |
afternoon temperatures responding in that sunshine. We could get to 24 | :29:50. | :29:54. | |
degrees. That will make it the warmest day of the year so far. But | :29:54. | :30:00. | |
make the most of that sunshine and warmth, but it isn't set to last. | :30:00. | :30:03. | |
Northern Scotland holding on to the best of it tomorrow, but eventually | :30:04. | :30:07. | |
the cold air swinging in for the end of the week. Temperatures are going | :30:07. | :30:12. | |
to be on the fall. It is going to turn much cooler. With that we'll | :30:12. | :30:15. | |
see cloud, outbreaks of rain and strong winds at times. The first | :30:15. | :30:19. | |
signs of that change happening this evening across south-west England, | :30:19. | :30:24. | |
with thicker cloud and rain. Ahead of that we'll keep some clearer | :30:24. | :30:27. | |
skies, but that cloud acting as a blanket. For England, Wales and | :30:27. | :30:32. | |
Northern Ireland, a mild night, with temperatures in double figures. Into | :30:32. | :30:36. | |
single figures for northern Scotland. Here we keep the clearer | :30:36. | :30:38. | |
skies. The best of the sunshine tomorrow for the north-west | :30:38. | :30:45. | |
Highlands. We might have one more day of warmth, 20-21 degrees. A | :30:45. | :30:50. | |
different day elsewhere. A main band of rain pushing north. Wine that | :30:50. | :30:53. | |
sunshine and showers. Some of the showers could be heavy, with | :30:53. | :30:58. | |
thunder. Temperatures even with afternoon brightness reaching highs | :30:58. | :31:03. | |
of 15-17 degrees. That system the main front pushes northwards to be | :31:03. | :31:07. | |
replaced by the centre of this low in central areas. For Thursday it is | :31:07. | :31:11. | |
looking cloudy with outbreaks of rain and potentially strong winds. | :31:11. | :31:16. | |
Gusts of 50-60 miles per hour across Wales and south-west England. | :31:16. | :31:20. |
