:00:58. > :01:02.Senior MPs are calling for a wider investigation into allegations of

:01:02. > :01:06.racism in the Metropolitan Police. It follows the suspension of eight

:01:06. > :01:09.officers and a civilian staff member. In total, ten separate

:01:09. > :01:11.incidents of alleged racism are being investigated by the

:01:11. > :01:19.Independent Police Complaints Commission. Our home affairs

:01:19. > :01:23.correspondent June Kelly reports. Not for the first time, Scotland

:01:23. > :01:29.Yard in the spotlight over race. The deputy commissioner facing the

:01:29. > :01:33.cameras, with 10 incidents being investigated, 19 people under

:01:33. > :01:37.suspicion and nine of them suspended. It all began with the

:01:37. > :01:47.arrest in Beckton in London of 21- year-old Mauro Demetrio. He

:01:47. > :01:58.

:01:58. > :02:02.That arrest took place after police regained control of the streets

:02:02. > :02:06.following the summer riots. The investigation into this incident

:02:06. > :02:09.and the others is being carried out by the Independent Police

:02:09. > :02:14.Complaints Commission but the Inspectorate of Constabulary should

:02:14. > :02:20.also get involved, says one MP. is important somebody else should

:02:20. > :02:25.look at it and the inspectorate led by Denis O'Connor are capable of

:02:25. > :02:29.doing a report and sending out a clear message of what is expected

:02:29. > :02:33.by the public and the police service on this issue. It was

:02:33. > :02:38.Scotland Yard's failure to investigate the murder of Stephen

:02:38. > :02:41.Lawrence which shone a light on the Met's attitude to race. In the

:02:41. > :02:46.Macpherson report that followed, the force was branded

:02:46. > :02:55.institutionally racist. More than a decade on, a report into last

:02:55. > :03:03.year's riots found that the Met had issued a Rudd positive or quality

:03:03. > :03:07.contact. This will tear open an open wound, it is extremely serious.

:03:07. > :03:12.The relevant authorities have to communicate, engage and reassure

:03:12. > :03:17.very quickly. But I feel also they have to say that the vast majority

:03:17. > :03:21.of police men and women are not racist. The focus on diversity

:03:21. > :03:25.after the Stephen Lawrence case has slipped in recent years, according

:03:25. > :03:30.to one long-serving police officer. Race was taken off the agenda and

:03:30. > :03:34.these cases show that race needs to be put back on the agenda and we

:03:34. > :03:37.need to see greater accountability and transparency. Race will always

:03:37. > :03:43.be a highly sensitive issue for Scotland Yard and those at the top

:03:43. > :03:48.want to show they are acting decisively in this latest crisis.

:03:48. > :03:53.Just how damaging is this? Matthew, I think the fact that in

:03:53. > :03:57.recent days we have had public statements from the Commissioner,

:03:57. > :04:02.Bernard Hogan-Howe, and the deputy commissioner, that is an indication

:04:02. > :04:06.of how damaging they realise this is. The top brass of stressing is

:04:06. > :04:10.that this organisation employs 50,000 people and 32,000 of those

:04:10. > :04:14.of police officers, and they say the people under investigation

:04:14. > :04:18.represent only a tiny minority of them. They say they are heartened

:04:18. > :04:22.by the fact that some of these allegations have only come to light

:04:22. > :04:26.because of whistle-blowing inside the force. They say that represents

:04:27. > :04:31.a change of culture. But after the riots, Scotland Yard acknowledged

:04:31. > :04:37.that it has to do more to engage with ethnic communities and it is

:04:37. > :04:40.in those communities that the damage will be most severe.

:04:40. > :04:43.A man and a woman have been arrested, on suspicion of murder

:04:43. > :04:47.following the death of a six-year- old girl at a campsite in the New

:04:47. > :04:55.Forest. Officers and paramedics were called in the early hours of

:04:55. > :05:00.this morning. Robert Hall is there. Matthew, the call was made just

:05:00. > :05:03.after midnight. A busy time of year. A lot of people arriving at

:05:03. > :05:08.campsites for the Easter break. When the paramedics and police got

:05:08. > :05:12.here, they found the little girl in a very serious condition. The

:05:12. > :05:17.events leading up to the incident are sketchy. Some people have

:05:17. > :05:21.spoken about screams. Whatever the circumstances, it has led to a

:05:21. > :05:25.police investigation which has intensified as the day has gone on.

:05:25. > :05:29.A popular campsite in one of the UK's most peaceful spots but

:05:29. > :05:33.tonight it is divided by the tapes of the police crime scene, as the

:05:33. > :05:38.remaining visitors debate what could have happened. Inside,

:05:38. > :05:42.forensic experts have spent much of the day working in and around the

:05:42. > :05:46.large blue family-sized tent. The paramedics called to the side told

:05:46. > :05:50.police they found the six-year-old fitting and not breathing. She

:05:50. > :05:55.suffered cardiac arrest and doctors at Southampton General Hospital

:05:55. > :06:00.were unable to revive her. A 13- year-old man and a 40-year-old

:06:00. > :06:05.woman, from Gosport, have been arrested on suspicion of murder --

:06:05. > :06:13.30-year-old man. We are still undertaking an investigation around

:06:13. > :06:18.the camp site of the deaf last evening. -- of the death. Late this

:06:18. > :06:20.afternoon, a blue Volkswagen goth was removed, as police continue to

:06:21. > :06:26.question visitors, many of whom were clearly shocked by what

:06:26. > :06:32.happened. I am just sad, it is a sad thing to happen, when you are

:06:32. > :06:38.on holiday anyway, you know. Dreadful. I have got two children,

:06:38. > :06:41.so we are a bit worried. Tonight, with the campsite closed to new

:06:41. > :06:44.arrivals, police said they would remain here for as long as

:06:44. > :06:50.necessary to complete their investigations and to offer

:06:50. > :06:55.reassurance at a difficult time. I understand that the post-mortem

:06:55. > :06:59.began early this afternoon and it could take up to seven hours, so it

:06:59. > :07:03.could be late this evening or maybe even tomorrow morning before the

:07:03. > :07:05.police are able to give us a further update.

:07:05. > :07:09.Thank you. Police in Northern Ireland say they

:07:09. > :07:19.have recovered a bomb containing a significant amount of explosives.

:07:19. > :07:20.

:07:20. > :07:30.The device was left a roundabout in Army bomb experts made it safe. It

:07:30. > :07:32.

:07:32. > :07:34.could have caused death or serious A ban on tobacco displays in

:07:34. > :07:37.supermarkets, throughout England has come into force. From today,

:07:37. > :07:39.cigarettes and other tobacco products, have to be kept, out of

:07:39. > :07:43.sight. Similar bans are planned throughout the UK.

:07:43. > :07:47.Out of sight, out of mind. That is the idea. From today, the

:07:47. > :07:52.supermarkets will have to cover-up cigarettes, opening the screens

:07:52. > :07:55.only when serving customers and restocking. The aim is to protect

:07:55. > :08:01.children from tobacco promotions and encourage a shift in social

:08:01. > :08:05.attitudes, preventing smoking as been regarded part of us --

:08:05. > :08:11.everyday life. One-fifth of adults smoke, a proportion that has

:08:11. > :08:15.remained steady in recent years after decades of false. Social

:08:15. > :08:19.norms are incredibly important. You just have to look around to see the

:08:19. > :08:23.effect of that. The tobacco industry has used their marketing

:08:23. > :08:27.and promotion to normalise smoking, which is incredibly dangerous, so

:08:27. > :08:33.this is just taking a way it one more way in which they can achieve

:08:33. > :08:38.that. The ban applies to shops with an area of more than 280 square

:08:38. > :08:44.metres. Newsagents and small shops will not have to cover up tobacco

:08:44. > :08:49.until April, 2015. Retailers say this has already cost them more

:08:49. > :08:53.than �50 million. People who smoke are addicted to nicotine and they

:08:53. > :08:57.want to smoke. Putting cigarettes behind a display than will not

:08:58. > :09:02.change that. The only way we would change that is by culture, and by

:09:02. > :09:07.tackling parents and the next generation of smokers. This is the

:09:07. > :09:11.latest in a string of anti-tobacco measures, which in recent years has

:09:11. > :09:15.seen a ban on smoking in public places. The legal-aid to buy

:09:15. > :09:21.cigarettes has been raised to 18, and a ban on cigarette vending

:09:21. > :09:24.machines -- the legal age. Further measures are being considered. A

:09:24. > :09:32.plan to force manufacturers to put cigarettes in plain packets is

:09:32. > :09:38.expected to be put out to consultation shortly.

:09:38. > :09:48.A US Navy jet has crashed into a block of flats in Virginia.

:09:48. > :09:55.

:09:55. > :10:01.Schools could be hit by more In navy two seater jet from the

:10:01. > :10:05.near by a naval air station just west of downtown Virginia Beach

:10:05. > :10:10.crashed minutes after take-off. It is not clear why. Something

:10:10. > :10:14.obviously happened very quickly. One of the two pilots was found

:10:14. > :10:19.strapped to his ejector seat when he was rescued by local people.

:10:19. > :10:23.Apparently, he was apologising profusely for having crashed into

:10:23. > :10:28.the neighbourhood. Pilots are trained to avoid crashing into

:10:28. > :10:33.civilian areas and it does seem as though, according to eyewitnesses,

:10:33. > :10:37.the plane circled and dumped fuel before finally crashing. They

:10:37. > :10:42.crashed into an apartment block. We think five or six of the buildings

:10:42. > :10:48.in that complex were completely gutted. We are told by emergency

:10:48. > :10:53.services that between three and five people are in hospital, and

:10:53. > :11:00.one of those may be the pilot, but no word of any fatalities or life-

:11:00. > :11:03.threatening injuries. Thank you.

:11:03. > :11:07.There are new macro concerns over the strength of the economic

:11:07. > :11:11.recovery in the United States. The latest employment figures shows a

:11:11. > :11:14.fall in the number of jobs being created after three months of

:11:14. > :11:18.strong growth. Manufacturing is one of the few

:11:18. > :11:22.bright spots in today's report. This company in Maryland makes

:11:22. > :11:32.conveyor belts for the food industry. Its main export market is

:11:32. > :11:34.

:11:34. > :11:42.Britain. I would probably 12 places a week to try to find a job. I went

:11:43. > :11:47.to three different states. 59-year- for three weeks ago but he says it

:11:47. > :11:52.is too soon to use the word "recovery" -- Michael White.

:11:52. > :11:57.don't think it is recovering, if it is it is not noticeable. People are

:11:57. > :12:02.still out of jobs and jobs are hard to find. Elsewhere the retail

:12:02. > :12:06.sector shed jobs last month, as did the construction industry, and with

:12:06. > :12:12.his job riding on the economy you could today sense the President's

:12:12. > :12:18.disappointment. We welcome the news that our businesses created another

:12:18. > :12:21.121,000 jobs last month, but it is key to every American that there

:12:21. > :12:26.will still be ups and downs along the way and that we have got a lot

:12:26. > :12:29.more work to do. The underwhelming numbers matter to countries like

:12:29. > :12:35.Britain, which are looking to America to drive the global

:12:35. > :12:41.recovery. The reason this matters is because a stronger America will

:12:41. > :12:45.be able to import more from Europe, but the second reason, which is not

:12:45. > :12:49.stressed much, is that financial markets, when they do well in

:12:49. > :12:54.America, they tend to do well around the world and that helps

:12:54. > :12:59.growth in Britain. The US economy is still growing. It is creating

:12:59. > :13:07.jobs. Just not at a pace that inspires confidence, either here or

:13:07. > :13:11.around the world. Teaching unions have warned that

:13:11. > :13:15.schools could be hit by more strikes. But two biggest unions,

:13:15. > :13:18.the NUT and the NASUWT, are in dispute with the government over

:13:18. > :13:25.pension changes. The government says the public sector schemes need

:13:25. > :13:30.reform to make them affordable. Teachers out on strike in the

:13:30. > :13:34.capital just last week. Part of a year of industrial action over pay,

:13:34. > :13:39.pensions and conditions. Judging from the rhetoric at this weekend's

:13:39. > :13:45.teaching conferences, there could be more to come. This man thinks

:13:45. > :13:48.teachers are losing on all fronts. -- this woman. She has taught for

:13:48. > :13:54.12 years and says the job is be made less satisfying, with fewer

:13:54. > :13:57.rewards. Teachers are very disillusioned with what is going on

:13:57. > :14:03.in terms of government initiatives, disillusioned with the changes to

:14:03. > :14:07.pay, pensions, terms and conditions. We are in the classroom because we

:14:07. > :14:12.are passionate about teaching. We want to teach and educate children

:14:12. > :14:17.but morale is very low. Teachers' pay, like that of other public

:14:17. > :14:21.sector workers, has been frozen for two years, and pension changes mean

:14:21. > :14:26.they will have to contribute more and work longer. Teachers are also

:14:26. > :14:29.angry that they can be observed in the cars are more frequently by

:14:29. > :14:33.headteachers and fact more easily if judged poor. That has been

:14:33. > :14:37.described by one union leader as the bullies' charter. This union

:14:37. > :14:42.took its members out on strike last year and since then they have been

:14:42. > :14:45.engaged in work to rule. The atmosphere is charged, with talk of

:14:45. > :14:49.further industrial action, and members will vote on this tomorrow

:14:49. > :14:54.for. I think the assault on the profession is the worst I have ever

:14:54. > :14:58.seen. It is driven not by raising standards in schools, not by trying

:14:58. > :15:03.to tackle the economic crisis, but it is actually driven by any

:15:03. > :15:07.rational contempt that this government seems to have for

:15:08. > :15:12.Education and four public services. But the Education Secretary Michael

:15:12. > :15:15.Gove says he wants higher standards and will not tolerate failure.

:15:15. > :15:23.Without compromise on either side, further industrial action cannot be

:15:23. > :15:27.Sport now, and for a full round up of the day's action, here's Lizzie

:15:27. > :15:30.Greenwood at the BBC Sport Centre. Good evening.

:15:30. > :15:33.England are in a commanding position to win the second Test

:15:33. > :15:37.against Sri Lanka in Colombo. Sri Lanka started stubbornly but

:15:37. > :15:41.finished the day on 218 for six in their second innings, just 33 runs

:15:41. > :15:48.ahead of England, who must win the match to keep their number one Test

:15:48. > :15:52.ranking. Alex South watched the action.

:15:52. > :15:56.This is foreign territory for England. A decent performance with

:15:56. > :16:02.the bat finally gave the bowlers a chance to win a game, as opposed to

:16:02. > :16:06.just staying in one. Jimmy Anderson clearly relished the opportunity. A

:16:06. > :16:11.world-class performer again stepping up. Sri Lanka in all sorts

:16:11. > :16:16.of trouble, England guilty of not taking chances. Examples included

:16:16. > :16:21.an easy stumping missed, and a night watchman dropped. In the

:16:21. > :16:28.stands, the army was not so barmy. It was a holy day, so no alcohol

:16:28. > :16:32.was being served. Graeme Swann provided the perfect tonic. The

:16:32. > :16:37.batsman was furious. He claimed not to have hit it. The review could

:16:37. > :16:42.not show either way. Graeme Swann and England started to turn the

:16:42. > :16:46.screw. And whenever Sri Lanka tried to relieve the pressure, another

:16:46. > :16:52.chance presented itself. The prized wicket of Mahela Jayawardene are

:16:52. > :16:56.was just a fingertip away. Once again, it seemed the Sri Lankan

:16:56. > :17:00.captain was standing between England and victory. The series

:17:00. > :17:07.top-scorer, with another 50, helping his side moved in front. In

:17:07. > :17:11.truth, there was little drama. That was until Graeme Swann's last over.

:17:11. > :17:17.The fans sing a song that says that Graeme Swann will tear you apart.

:17:17. > :17:20.How apt. If he gives them the chance to keep their number one

:17:20. > :17:22.status. It's been another great day for the

:17:23. > :17:25.British team at the World Track Cycling Championships. Victoria

:17:25. > :17:29.Pendleton claimed the women's sprint title, showing she's still

:17:29. > :17:32.the one to beat at the Olympics this summer. But there was also

:17:32. > :17:35.some criticism ahead of the London Games from the father of team-mate

:17:35. > :17:43.Sir Chris Hoy about the ticketing policy for familes. James Pearce

:17:44. > :17:47.has more from Melbourne. Down but not out. Victoria

:17:47. > :17:51.Pendleton crashed to the floor in the first race of a semi-final, got

:17:51. > :17:56.back up and not only won the next two races to beat her big rival,

:17:56. > :18:00.Australia's Anna Meares, but one hour later was on the floor again,

:18:00. > :18:04.this time in celebration after she had won the final, too. My dad

:18:04. > :18:07.always said, do not do track cycling unless you were prepared to

:18:07. > :18:11.crash, because it happens occasionally. My mum was terrified

:18:11. > :18:16.that I would hurt myself when I started racing. It has not happened

:18:16. > :18:20.too often, so it is one of those things. It was the kind of gutsy

:18:20. > :18:24.performance that Sir Chris Hoy knows all about. While he prepared

:18:24. > :18:28.to compete, his parents were taking their seats in the stands. They

:18:28. > :18:32.have come to Melbourne to support him, as they have travelled the

:18:32. > :18:35.world to cheer him on throughout his career. They were in Beijing to

:18:35. > :18:38.join the celebrations when he won three gold medals at the last

:18:39. > :18:42.Olympics. But they might have to miss some of his events in London.

:18:42. > :18:46.Each athlete is only being allowed to buy two tickets for their

:18:46. > :18:51.sessions. While Chris Hoy is focusing on his competition in

:18:51. > :18:54.Melbourne today, he could be faced with an agonising decision. His

:18:54. > :19:00.wife is here supporting him alongside his parents. He also has

:19:00. > :19:03.a sister. Who should get his two tickets? His father says it is

:19:03. > :19:09.unfair and he is urging the organising committee to release

:19:09. > :19:13.more for families. Please consider how you would feel if your son or

:19:13. > :19:19.daughter had worked for 10 to 12 years, slave to, trained really

:19:19. > :19:24.hard, got to this level, and then you were told, sorry, you are

:19:24. > :19:27.outside and you will have to sit and watch at home. All of the

:19:27. > :19:31.British athletes are in the same situation. For most of them, two

:19:31. > :19:35.tickets simply are not enough. Ticketing has always been the most

:19:35. > :19:38.difficult issue for London 2012's organising committee to handle.

:19:38. > :19:41.These comments from one of the parents of Britain's highest-

:19:41. > :19:45.profile Olympians will make that job even tougher.

:19:45. > :19:49.Lee Westwood started his second round at the Masters as still the

:19:49. > :19:52.man to beat with nine straight pars at Augusta today. But he's had his

:19:52. > :19:56.work cut out keeping his overnight lead. The Englishman bogeyed the

:19:56. > :19:59.11th before coming straight back with a birdie at the 12th. He's

:19:59. > :20:03.currently on five under. America's Jason Dufner has just overtaken him

:20:03. > :20:05.though and leads on six under par. Rory McIlroy is having a much
