:02:17. > :02:20.after police told them they were investigating allegation that's the
:02:20. > :02:24.News of the World intercepted their daughter's phone in the days after
:02:24. > :02:29.she disappeared. Police are looking into claims that Glenn Mulcaire, a
:02:29. > :02:34.private investigator, working forts paper, listened to messages left by
:02:34. > :02:41.desperate friends and family. There's been no comment from news
:02:41. > :02:45.group newspapers, publishers of the News of the World.
:02:45. > :02:50.Milly Dowler, the teenager who disappeared in the blink of an eye.
:02:50. > :02:54.Her killer was only found guilty at the Old Bailey two weeks ago, but
:02:54. > :03:00.now it's possible a newspaper may have been guilty of intruding into
:03:00. > :03:04.her privacy, even as the police searched for her. In the days after
:03:04. > :03:08.she went missing, Surrey Police kept her pay-as-you-go phone,
:03:08. > :03:12.topped up with credit in case she switch today on. This evening the
:03:12. > :03:15.Guardian says it has a well placed source who alleged that Glenn
:03:15. > :03:20.Mulcaire, an investigator paid bit News of the World, accessed phone
:03:20. > :03:24.messages on Milly's mobile. It's claims that because the phone's
:03:24. > :03:29.account was active and able to receive voice messages, it became
:03:29. > :03:34.full and no more messages could be left. The Guardian says Mulcaire
:03:34. > :03:38.deleted some of them, leaving space so he could intercept further voice
:03:38. > :03:42.mail. For the Dowler family it appeared Milly herself might have
:03:42. > :03:48.erased the messages. It gave them hope she was alive. That was not to
:03:48. > :03:51.be. It's distress heaped upon tragedy to learn that the News of
:03:51. > :03:56.the World have no humanity at such a terrible time. The fact they were
:03:56. > :03:59.prepared to act in such a heinous way, that could have jeopardised
:03:59. > :04:02.the investigation and gave them false hope is despicable. You have
:04:03. > :04:06.to ask the question - who was at News of the World thinking it was
:04:06. > :04:09.appropriate to hack into the phone of a missing young girl and what
:04:09. > :04:15.was Glenn Mulcaire thinking of at the time to take those
:04:15. > :04:19.instructions? At the time this was alleged to have happened, Rebekah
:04:19. > :04:23.Brooks, now the News International chief executive, was editor of the
:04:23. > :04:27.News of the World. It was a paper that campaigned for the naming and
:04:27. > :04:32.shaming of convicted paedophiles. Neither News International or Glenn
:04:32. > :04:36.Mulcaire has responded to these allegations. Milly Dowler's case is
:04:36. > :04:43.just one part of the ongoing police investigation into phone hacking.
:04:43. > :04:47.The Metropolitan Police said inquiries were ongoing.
:04:47. > :04:52.Tom's with me now. Have the publishers of the News of the World
:04:52. > :04:57.reacted to this? This is an ongoing story. Literally in the last minute
:04:57. > :05:01.or two we've had these words from News International, "We have been
:05:01. > :05:04.cooperating fully with operation wheating since our voluntary
:05:04. > :05:07.disclose newer January restarted the investigation into illegal
:05:07. > :05:10.voice mail interception. This particular case is clearly a
:05:10. > :05:15.development of great concern and we will be conducting our own
:05:15. > :05:22.inquiries as a result. We will obviously cooperate fully with any
:05:22. > :05:24.police requests on this should we be asked." These are very serious
:05:25. > :05:28.allegations. There will be questions asked about whether the
:05:28. > :05:33.police investigation itself was hampered because police were
:05:33. > :05:36.watching this phone very closely to work out what was happening. Any
:05:36. > :05:41.tampering with it will have been difficult for them. Tom, thanks
:05:41. > :05:45.very much. Let's talk to our political editor,
:05:45. > :05:50.Nick Robinson, now. What political significance, if any, are these
:05:50. > :05:53.latest revelations going to have? think overall the significance is
:05:53. > :05:58.this: When the hacking allegations first came out, they didn't get a
:05:58. > :06:02.lot of attention. Some people regarded them as an obscure
:06:02. > :06:05.argument within the media. Then they got more profile because
:06:05. > :06:09.celebrities were involved. I suspect there are plenty of people
:06:09. > :06:14.at home who are not exactly gripped by this story. The shocking news
:06:14. > :06:19.now that it may be that a victim of a terrible crime had her phone
:06:19. > :06:23.hacked will shove it right up the news agenda and into the date-to-
:06:23. > :06:28.day concerns. Why does that matter for Government? Long-term, because
:06:28. > :06:31.David Cameron has connections with News International. Secondly,
:06:31. > :06:36.because the Government is now taking a very sensitive decision
:06:36. > :06:40.about whether to allow the takeover of BSkyB and some people are
:06:40. > :06:44.already arguing they should not. I should say that my information on
:06:44. > :06:48.that is that they regard it as illegal to take this sort of factor
:06:48. > :06:51.into account when considering the issue of BSkyB, because the only
:06:52. > :06:56.thing they are supposed to take into account is not whether you
:06:56. > :07:00.like or dislike Rupert Murdoch or what his firms have done, but
:07:00. > :07:04.whether it would destroy what is called pleurality, the number of
:07:04. > :07:07.different voices in the media. I think it means that it is more
:07:07. > :07:13.likely that the Prime Minister is asked for a statement on all this.
:07:13. > :07:16.One last thought is, I've been talking to someone senior at News
:07:16. > :07:20.International. They're insisting what lies behind that statement
:07:20. > :07:23.that you've just put out is real shock from them, that this was
:07:23. > :07:27.taking place. Apparently, what it currently happening is that the
:07:27. > :07:32.police are finding information from Glenn Mulcaire's notebook, they are
:07:32. > :07:35.informing people who may have been victims of phone hacking. Then it
:07:35. > :07:39.finds its way into the public domain. They didn't know about this
:07:39. > :07:42.either, or so they say. Thank you. An official report into
:07:42. > :07:46.care for the elderly in England has recommended that there should be a
:07:46. > :07:50.limit on how much families have to pay. At the moment many fear
:07:50. > :07:54.they'll have to use all their savings or sell their homes to fund
:07:54. > :08:02.care. The Government's welcomed the review and rejected suggestion it's
:08:02. > :08:07.will be shelfed on grounds of cost. One in four babies born today can
:08:07. > :08:13.expect to live to 100. That may bring many joys, but as we age, we
:08:13. > :08:17.need more help and the difficult question is who pays for that care?
:08:17. > :08:20.Hilary Breakwell is 86 and has Alzheimer's. It's her daughter who
:08:20. > :08:25.cares for her, looking after her every need 24 hours a day, from
:08:25. > :08:29.helping her wash, to cooking and cleaning. Hilary's struggling, but
:08:30. > :08:34.gets no help from the social care system. And in future, if her
:08:34. > :08:38.mother goes into a residential home, the house would be sold to meet the
:08:38. > :08:42.bills, leaving her homeless. people are not seen as interesting
:08:42. > :08:47.or a priority. So it's left to people like me to struggle along as
:08:47. > :08:50.best you can. There are lots of us doing it. It is incredibly
:08:50. > :08:55.frustrating. Today's review aims to give people certainty over what
:08:55. > :08:59.they might have to pay for care. It says no-one should have to pay more
:08:59. > :09:04.than a suggested �35,000 during their lifetime for residential and
:09:04. > :09:10.home care. After that, the state takes over. Currently anyone with
:09:10. > :09:15.savings and assets, including their house of just over �23,000 has to
:09:15. > :09:18.fund them self-in residential care. It raises that threshold to
:09:18. > :09:23.�100,000. There would be accommodation and food charges in
:09:23. > :09:27.care homes, capped at between �7,000-�10,000 a year. At the
:09:27. > :09:31.moment if they're unlucky and have significant care costs, they're not
:09:31. > :09:35.supported by the state, nor can they get private sector financial
:09:35. > :09:39.protection. So there's no protection against this major risk.
:09:39. > :09:42.It's the only big risk we face of which that's truth. We need the
:09:42. > :09:47.state to step in and provide reassurance so people know the
:09:47. > :09:49.worst case is something they can manage. In Scotland social care is
:09:49. > :09:53.generally free. Northern Ireland means tests for residential care.
:09:53. > :09:59.Wales has a similar system to England. Reform of the English
:09:59. > :10:02.system is now long overdue. Talk to almost anyone who is involved in
:10:02. > :10:07.social care in one way or another, they describe a system under
:10:07. > :10:12.pressure and in crisis. The Dilnot Commission has offered its solution
:10:12. > :10:16.- the question is what happens next? And that will be down to the
:10:16. > :10:19.Government. The commission says currently its changes would add
:10:19. > :10:24.�1.7 billion to the social care bill and that would rise. But it's
:10:24. > :10:26.clear it will be a fight to get extra money. The commission
:10:26. > :10:29.recognised that implementing their reforms would have significant
:10:29. > :10:34.costs, which the Government will need to consider against other
:10:34. > :10:37.funding priorities and calls on constrained resources.
:10:37. > :10:40.Government has promised legislation in the spring, but there are real
:10:40. > :10:47.concerns that the time table may drift, which would worry many like
:10:47. > :10:51.Hilary, who are coping with the pressures now.
:10:51. > :10:54.A British soldier has gone missing in southern Afghanistan. A massive
:10:54. > :10:58.search, involving aircraft and ground troops, has been launched,
:10:59. > :11:02.after he dais peered from his base in central Helmand. He left the
:11:02. > :11:10.base alone, in the early hours of this morning, something described
:11:10. > :11:15.as "highly unusual". This is how British soldiers
:11:15. > :11:23.usually travel in Helmand, in groups, never alone, with good
:11:23. > :11:28.reason. We joined a patrol there last week, not far from where the
:11:28. > :11:32.soldier went missing today. The British Army's had two summers of
:11:32. > :11:38.hard fighting in hell mapbld. They hope they have pushed the Taliban
:11:38. > :11:41.out of places like this. But the insurgents are still here, on the
:11:41. > :11:46.fringes of the patrols or hidden among the local people. That's why
:11:46. > :11:51.it's so inexplicable that anyone would go out alone, yet that seems
:11:51. > :11:55.to be what happened. The MoD says the soldier was reported missing in
:11:55. > :12:00.the early hours. A Taliban spokesman said he was killed in
:12:00. > :12:05.cross-fire, as troops attempted a rescue. NATO could not confirm any
:12:05. > :12:10.gun battle. There's now an extensive search operation. The
:12:10. > :12:16.Prime Minister was in Helmand today to discuss transition to control by
:12:16. > :12:19.the Afghan Security Forces. The schedule was severely curtailed
:12:19. > :12:23.because every single aircraft was needed for the search. Today's
:12:23. > :12:27.incident is hugely regrettable. All day my thoughts and prayers have
:12:27. > :12:30.been with that young man and his family. I just said when I got here,
:12:30. > :12:34.don't bother about flying me around, throw everything you've got at
:12:34. > :12:38.trying to find this person. We were called by a Taliban local commander
:12:38. > :12:44.in the area where this happened, before any official announcement
:12:44. > :12:49.was made. He told us insurgents had killed the soldier because they
:12:49. > :12:52.couldn't retreat with a captive once NATO started attacking.
:12:52. > :12:55.That's at odds with the Taliban spokesman's statement that the
:12:56. > :13:02.soldier was shot in cross-fire. Both accounts claim the soldier is
:13:02. > :13:05.dead. The search forts missing soldier was carried out here in the
:13:05. > :13:09.area known as the Green Zone, on a day when the Prime Minister arrived
:13:09. > :13:18.to trumpet the British Army's progress in central Helmand, what
:13:18. > :13:22.happened here was a reminder of how dangerous the Taliban still remain.
:13:22. > :13:24.We can speak to our deputy political editor James Landale,
:13:24. > :13:28.who's been travelling with the Prime Minister in Afghanistan. As
:13:28. > :13:32.Paul was saying there, a real reminder of the dangers our troops
:13:33. > :13:36.are facing on the very day the Prime Minister is there.
:13:36. > :13:40.Yeah, and therefore hugely unfortunate timing for the Prime
:13:40. > :13:43.Minister. He was here to assess what he think sz real progress on
:13:43. > :13:46.the ground and to have this happen. What was interesting, on the same
:13:46. > :13:50.day that all this happened, the Prime Minister, as well as talking
:13:50. > :13:53.about the progress he believes is being made in training the Afghan
:13:53. > :13:58.Security Forces here, he also told us that the number of British
:13:58. > :14:02.troops he wants to withdraw next year will be quite modest. He said
:14:02. > :14:07.there will be no radical change in numbers before the end of next
:14:07. > :14:11.summer's fighting season. He will give a precise number later this
:14:11. > :14:14.week. My understanding is it's around the 500 mark. The Prime
:14:14. > :14:19.Minister is still determined to get all British combat troops out of
:14:19. > :14:22.Afghanistan by the end of 2014. But he is now clearly heeding the
:14:22. > :14:25.warnings of commanders on the ground saying, you don't have to
:14:25. > :14:28.rush it. If you do, you will lift the pressure on the Taliban when
:14:28. > :14:31.the sheer weight of numbers in Helmand are really making a
:14:31. > :14:36.difference. Thank you. The cost to taxpayers of
:14:36. > :14:40.funding the Queen's spending fell by �1.8 million last year.
:14:40. > :14:45.According to Buckingham Palace, there was a drop of more than 5% to
:14:45. > :14:48.just over �32 million. Much of the savings came from reducing the bill
:14:48. > :14:56.for maintenance of the royal residences and a pay freeze for
:14:56. > :15:00.The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are having a relaxing day on Prince
:15:00. > :15:04.Edward Island, the smallest province of Canada, on the 5th day
:15:04. > :15:07.of their tour of the country. They arrived in a horse-drawn coach to
:15:07. > :15:13.the delight of thousands of well- wishers, who waited patiently for
:15:13. > :15:18.hours to see the royal couple. Nicholas Witchell is there. A much
:15:18. > :15:22.more relaxed mood today. Not the greatest of weather. We are on the
:15:22. > :15:25.Atlantic coast. This afternoon, Williams spent more than an hour
:15:25. > :15:29.learning a new search-and-rescue helicopter flying technique. We
:15:29. > :15:38.will see a little bit of that any moment. The day began in the
:15:38. > :15:41.capital of Prince Edward Island, Unsurprisingly, on an island named
:15:41. > :15:47.after Queen Victoria's father, this is a place which is keen on all
:15:47. > :15:52.things royal. Yet, unfortunately for Prince Edward Island, not many
:15:52. > :15:55.royals ever get here. Today, the island hit the jackpot when the
:15:55. > :16:01.most sought after royals and the world didn't just come to town,
:16:01. > :16:05.they rode through it in a horse- drawn carriage. Excited? Well, you
:16:05. > :16:13.could say that they were. The townspeople, that is. And William
:16:13. > :16:17.and Kate looked pretty pleased to be here as well. They got out of
:16:17. > :16:23.the carriage for a walkabout, outstretched hands by the score. As
:16:23. > :16:30.many shaken as possible. And what is this? Well, it is Kate TAMBA
:16:30. > :16:34.baby. -- Kate and a baby. And moments later, William and a baby.
:16:35. > :16:40.And then William and Kate and the baby. You can just guess the sort
:16:40. > :16:44.of speculation that these pictures will give rise to. By now, the
:16:44. > :16:48.island was feeling the effects of being on the Atlantic coast. It was
:16:48. > :16:52.raining and blustery. A good moment for a flight lieutenant William
:16:52. > :16:55.Wales of the RAF search-and-rescue service to demonstrate his flying
:16:55. > :17:01.skills. The Canadians have a special technique for search-and-
:17:01. > :17:04.rescue. They land the helicopter on the water. So, cross your fingers,
:17:04. > :17:12.because the second in line to the throne is about to try it for the
:17:12. > :17:17.first time. The approach was steady and then splashdown. For a moment,
:17:17. > :17:21.it looked like Flight Lieutenant Wales was joining the submarine
:17:21. > :17:25.service. But all was well. Sighs of relief all round. There were more
:17:25. > :17:33.than a dozen landings in all. At this rate, one wonders what the
:17:33. > :17:40.Duke of Cambridge will be trying Guess what, that's precisely what
:17:40. > :17:44.he did go on to do. A Dragon Boat race, to be precise. Both he and
:17:44. > :17:50.Kate participated in the Dragon Boat race, along this lake, a few
:17:50. > :17:53.minutes ago. Kate was initially Steering. But then I think she
:17:53. > :17:59.found that steering was a little bit complicated and she took a
:17:59. > :18:04.paddle in the other boat. Quite a competitive spirit. I think
:18:04. > :18:08.William's boat may have won. At the moment they have declared a
:18:08. > :18:11.diplomatic ties. Kate did have some experience in a dragon boat. There
:18:11. > :18:15.was an all-woman crew that she joined some time ago, but she
:18:15. > :18:25.pulled out because of the publicity. What is striking people is the way

:21:55. > :21:59.months we have been following what has been happening in the City of
:21:59. > :22:09.Coventry. Is the private sector stepping in to create the jobs
:22:09. > :22:10.
:22:10. > :22:16.We are back, with the workers of Coventry. This city is like a Mini
:22:16. > :22:19.UK economy. They are trying to find out if the job losses on this side,
:22:19. > :22:24.the public sector, can be soaked up by the other side, the private
:22:24. > :22:29.sector. So, what has been happening? We caught up with two of
:22:29. > :22:37.the group. Trevor Bailey has been creating jobs. Paul Odera has been
:22:37. > :22:43.on the receiving end of public sector cuts. Paul is a community
:22:43. > :22:49.worker. But funding is being cut back. Most days he is volunteering
:22:49. > :22:54.instead of earning a. I am the sole breadwinner in our family. It's
:22:54. > :22:59.pretty uncomfortable. I would imagine there are a lot of people
:22:59. > :23:05.in my position. It's not looking pretty out there. Here is why he is
:23:05. > :23:13.worried. We have learned that in the space of 12 months 724 public
:23:13. > :23:17.sector jobs have been lost across Coventry. Here at Coventry airfield,
:23:17. > :23:23.Trevor Bailey is doing what the Government needs, creating new
:23:23. > :23:30.private sector jobs. His got 15 new workers to help get more visitors
:23:30. > :23:33.for these vintage planes. It's an absolutely of faith, no getting
:23:33. > :23:37.away from it. Entrepreneurially, you've just got to have this vision,
:23:37. > :23:41.this is what it is about, there is a market, people will want to come
:23:41. > :23:45.and enjoy it and they will want to come back. This isn't the only
:23:45. > :23:48.company in Coventry that is creating new jobs. Over the last
:23:48. > :23:53.three months, from the dairy group of businesses that we have been

:24:01. > :24:06.off just yet. It is very finely balanced. We are a resilient
:24:06. > :24:09.economy, but, equally, things are still very fragile. Although the
:24:09. > :24:14.order books are looking good and it's great to hear the private
:24:14. > :24:17.sector talk about growth in jobs, we do need to remember that we only
:24:17. > :24:20.seem marginal growth so far and there was a lot more to do to see
:24:20. > :24:25.Coventry, and I'm sure elsewhere in the country, back up there in terms
:24:25. > :24:29.of a real growth economy. So, it's too early to say how things will
:24:29. > :24:38.play out. This side, the private sector, is creating some jobs. But,
:24:38. > :24:47.like everywhere else, Coventry has And you can get more details on
:24:47. > :24:51.what is happening with public- Now, it is a rare tribute paid only
:24:51. > :24:55.to the most revered of American presidents. Today, Ronald Reagan
:24:55. > :25:05.joined the likes of Eisenhower and Roosevelt in having a statue to his

:25:08. > :25:13.memory in London. The unveiling Its July 4th, it Independence Day

:25:17. > :25:24.Grosvenor Square to celebrate former President Ronald Reagan. A
:25:24. > :25:27.new statue is ready to be unveiled. Today revives memories of an
:25:27. > :25:34.extraordinary political partnership between President Reagan and the
:25:34. > :25:37.then Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, in the 1980s. Both were
:25:37. > :25:42.outspoken cold-war warriors, hugely controversial figures. Critics of
:25:42. > :25:48.President Reagan hated his rearming of America to challenge Moscow. But
:25:48. > :25:52.he also negotiated arms reductions with President Gorbachev. And he
:25:52. > :25:57.ignored the charges of dangerous naivety when he said this in front

:26:05. > :26:12.Gorbachev, tear down this wall. Berlin Wall did come down, of
:26:12. > :26:15.course. Today, Britain saluted Ronald Reagan. The Foreign
:26:15. > :26:20.Secretary brought a message from Lady Thatcher, who hope to attend
:26:20. > :26:26.but was not well enough to come. Ronald Reagan was a great President
:26:26. > :26:32.and a great man. A true leader for our times. He held clear principles
:26:33. > :26:36.and acted upon them with purpose. And Ronald Regan's legacy was
:26:36. > :26:42.hailed by Condoleezza Rice as an example for today, particularly in
:26:42. > :26:47.the Middle East. It gives us hope and optimism to continue to stand
:26:47. > :26:51.for those who are still trapped into money. The reputation of some
:26:51. > :26:56.political leaders fades with time. But for Ronald Reagan it seems to
:26:56. > :26:59.be the reverse. Critic's during his presidency often regarded him as a
:26:59. > :27:04.second division actor who had no business trying to play a part on
:27:04. > :27:12.the world stage. Those critics are much less vocal now. Ronald Reagan

:27:15. > :27:19.A nice day today. But this summer nothing seems to last more than a
:27:19. > :27:22.few days. The weather is on the slide and it will be turning wet
:27:23. > :27:27.and cooler. You can see where it is coming from, cloud careering in
:27:27. > :27:31.from the West. For the time being it is dry out there. It should be a
:27:31. > :27:33.fine enough evening, pleasantly warm. Later in the night, rain will
:27:33. > :27:38.arrive across Northern Ireland, Wales and the far south-west of
:27:38. > :27:43.England by about dawn. Temperature is not really an issue overnight.
:27:43. > :27:46.Not particularly cold, never more 13 degrees will be typically. A wet
:27:46. > :27:50.start to the day across south-west England. 8 o'clock in the morning,
:27:50. > :27:56.Devon and Cornwall see some outbreaks of rain, heavy bursts for
:27:56. > :27:58.a time. Rain pushing into good part of Wales. Heavy bursts for a time
:27:58. > :28:03.across Northern Ireland. That rain will not last forever. Things will
:28:03. > :28:06.improve from the West later on in the morning. The rain is pushing
:28:06. > :28:10.into western fringes of Scotland. A good part of Scotland will start on
:28:10. > :28:14.a dry note. Bright this in more eastern areas. Much of northern
:28:14. > :28:17.England is getting out to a fine enough start. Eastern parts of
:28:17. > :28:21.England, down towards the south- east, the lion's share of the
:28:21. > :28:24.sunshine. It's going to warm up quite nicely across this part of
:28:24. > :28:28.the world. One warm warm day. Elsewhere will be cloudy. There
:28:28. > :28:33.will be some rain. That will gradually move further eastwards as
:28:33. > :28:36.we go through the day. With the cloud and rain it will be notably
:28:36. > :28:41.cooler and today across a good part of the UK. It typically will be
:28:41. > :28:45.held in the mid- to high teens. For one more day across East Anglia and
:28:45. > :28:50.south-east it will be warm. 27, maybe 28 degrees in north London.
:28:50. > :28:53.If you're heading to Hampton Court Flower Show, it should be fine
:28:53. > :28:58.before the rain arrives later. That sets the scene for the next few
:28:58. > :29:03.days. Much cooler, and we will all see heavy bursts of rain at times.
