:00:19. > :00:24.friends near her home. She is still missing tonight. We are still

:00:24. > :00:28.pursuing all lines of inquiry with the view that April is still alive,

:00:28. > :00:31.and we will continue to do so until we find her.

:00:31. > :00:38.Hundreds of volunteers from around Machynlleth have fanned out across

:00:38. > :00:43.the countryside to help in the search. We never think this sort of

:00:43. > :00:48.thing will happen here but tragically it has. We have just

:00:48. > :00:51.come down to see what we can do for. Also on tonight's programme: The

:01:21. > :01:29.child abuse by the late Jimmy Savile. Scotland Yard is looking at

:01:29. > :01:34.the case. Later on the BBC News Channel, I

:01:59. > :02:03.News at 6pm. Police in Mid-Wales have arrested a 46-year-old man in

:02:03. > :02:06.connection with the disappearance of a five-year-old girl. April

:02:06. > :02:11.Jones was playing with friends near her home in Machynlleth at 7pm last

:02:11. > :02:14.night when she got into a vehicle, possibly a van. Police who have

:02:14. > :02:17.spoken to April's friends say it appears that she entered the van

:02:17. > :02:24.without a struggle. Let's go straight to Jon Brain in

:02:24. > :02:31.Machynlleth. George, a dramatic day in mid-Wales.

:02:31. > :02:35.We often hear the phrase "close- knit community". It is a cliche but

:02:35. > :02:40.in this incident, it feels appropriate. An entire town has

:02:40. > :02:45.turned out to look for a missing five-year-old girl and in the past

:02:45. > :02:49.hour, police had made an arrest. This report contains flash

:02:49. > :02:54.photography. April Jones, a happy five-year-old,

:02:54. > :02:58.described by those who know her as a lovely little girl. Today,

:02:59. > :03:04.virtually the entire town has been out looking for her, but in the

:03:04. > :03:10.last hour, a dramatic development. Police have arrested a man on

:03:10. > :03:16.suspicion of her abduction. We are continuing our investigation to

:03:16. > :03:22.find April. However, within the last hour we have arrested a 46-

:03:22. > :03:26.year-old man from the Machynlleth area, who has been detained at

:03:26. > :03:31.Aberystwyth police station. We made the arrest just outside Machynlleth

:03:31. > :03:36.and we are hopeful that this individual will assist us in

:03:36. > :03:41.locating April, who is still missing. We are still pursuing all

:03:41. > :03:48.lines of inquiry with a view that April is still alive. We will

:03:48. > :03:53.continue to do so until we find her. The search for April began last

:03:53. > :03:58.night and has not stopped. Volunteers joining police officers

:03:58. > :04:02.to combed fields and woodland in a 30 mile radius. But the police had

:04:02. > :04:08.feared she could be anywhere. Yesterday, she got into a vehicle

:04:08. > :04:14.near her home. Today, detectives said the best. There is nothing to

:04:14. > :04:17.suggest there was a struggle when she got into the car. April got

:04:17. > :04:22.into a drive a's side and that may well be that she got in with the

:04:22. > :04:27.driver, but it could mean that it is a left-hand-drive vehicle.

:04:27. > :04:32.was out riding her bike and playing with friends near her home on the

:04:32. > :04:38.Bryn Y Gog estate yesterday evening. One of her friends said she saw her

:04:38. > :04:43.getting into the driver's side of a light coloured van. At that time,

:04:43. > :04:47.April was wearing a purple coat, and a white polo shirt with black

:04:47. > :04:53.trousers. Police were alerted to her disappearance within an hour

:04:53. > :04:57.and soon, 200 residents had gathered at the leisure centre.

:04:57. > :05:02.They joined the police in searching a 30 mile radius of the town and

:05:02. > :05:07.surrounding area. Have you got a car? Which every year do you know

:05:07. > :05:12.best? Hundreds of people offering their help at the local leisure

:05:12. > :05:19.centre. Some have come from up to 60 miles away, although most live

:05:19. > :05:27.nearby. We have been searching until 3am, they went home for sleek

:05:27. > :05:31.for a couple of hours, and they were ready at daylight. This women

:05:31. > :05:36.open-toed garage because the volunteers needed petrol for their

:05:36. > :05:41.search. -- the woman here opened her garage. We have stayed open

:05:41. > :05:47.since last night forced job as the search continues, head teacher has

:05:47. > :05:52.been describing the five-year-old. April is a very bubbly and vibrant

:05:53. > :05:57.member of the school community. Her parents are very supportive of the

:05:57. > :06:02.school and Spen hours of their own time helping the school, so our

:06:02. > :06:06.thoughts are with them at this very difficult time. This investigation

:06:06. > :06:10.is continuing to develop. We have news that both wrote nearby has

:06:10. > :06:17.been cordoned off and a woman was seen in tears being driven through

:06:17. > :06:27.the police cordon, believed to be a relative of April's. There is a

:06:28. > :06:33.hotline for anybody with The Labour leader Ed Miliband has

:06:33. > :06:36.said he will head a one nation Labour Party into the next election.

:06:36. > :06:38.In a highly personal speech, Mr Miliband vowed to rebuild Britain

:06:38. > :06:42.and outlined his vision of a country in which everyone played

:06:42. > :06:50.their part. This report from Manchester contains some flash

:06:50. > :06:55.photography. Imitation, it is said, is the

:06:55. > :06:59.sincerest form of flattery. Today Ed Miliband live at a conference

:06:59. > :07:03.speech that did not just echo one of the slogans and some of the

:07:03. > :07:09.rhetoric of his Tory opponent, but the way David Cameron once famously

:07:09. > :07:14.delivered them. With no nerves. Only one problem, where is my

:07:14. > :07:19.speech? I want to do something different today. Different, because

:07:19. > :07:23.the Labour leader was relaxed and jokey, different, he claimed,

:07:23. > :07:27.because he learnt his political fray from the teachers at his

:07:27. > :07:31.comprehensive school and refugee parents who fled the Nazis.

:07:32. > :07:38.believe that we can overcome any odds if we come together as people.

:07:38. > :07:43.Millions of people look at us in politics and think we are all the

:07:43. > :07:48.same. I guess you could say I am out to prove them wrong. That is

:07:48. > :07:53.who I am. What this beach was really about was a single assertion,

:07:53. > :08:00.that he could unite the country in difficult times -- the speech. That

:08:00. > :08:04.he was a man to deliver a 140-year- old Conservative slogan. 1 nation,

:08:04. > :08:11.a country where everyone has a stake, where prosperity is fairly

:08:11. > :08:14.shared, one nation, where we have a shared destiny, his sense of shared

:08:15. > :08:19.Endeavour and a common life that we lead together. That is the Britain

:08:19. > :08:24.we must become! The Prime Minister had lost the right to use that

:08:24. > :08:29.slogan, he said, when his chief whip called police officers plebs

:08:29. > :08:35.and his economic policy divided the country. This year, borrowing is

:08:35. > :08:40.rising, not falling. Let me say that again. It is rising, not

:08:40. > :08:45.falling. If the medicine is not working, you change the medicine. I

:08:45. > :08:50.will tell you what else you change. You change the doctor and that is

:08:50. > :08:55.what this country needs to do! year, the faces at this conference

:08:55. > :09:00.were worried about whether he had really got what it takes. This year,

:09:00. > :09:06.they were relishing his performance. Have you ever seen a more

:09:06. > :09:11.incompetent, hopeless, out of touch, U-turn, pledge breaking, make it up

:09:11. > :09:20.as you go along, are back of the envelope, miserable shower that

:09:20. > :09:25.this Prime Minister and his government...? The policy was no

:09:25. > :09:29.way to be seen, there was no think tank slogans and detailed policies,

:09:29. > :09:34.just pledges to stand up to companies that rip off consumers, I

:09:34. > :09:40.don't train staff and employ apprentices, and... I have a

:09:40. > :09:46.message for the bank. We can do is the easy way or the hard way.

:09:46. > :09:49.Evette you six it yourselves, between now and the election, or

:09:49. > :09:56.the next Labour government will once and for all ensure that the

:09:56. > :10:02.high-street bank is no longer the arm of the can -- of a casino

:10:02. > :10:07.operation and we will break you up. The spirit of the Olympics, he said,

:10:07. > :10:12.had rebuild Britain after the war. To come together, joined together,

:10:12. > :10:15.work together as a country. Words that sounded and looked like the

:10:16. > :10:20.last leader of the opposition speaking at his conference before

:10:20. > :10:25.the last election. If we come together, work together, we will

:10:25. > :10:30.get rid the is together. Miliband's message was that he

:10:30. > :10:34.understood why many people voted for David Cameron, but only he

:10:34. > :10:40.could deliver the promise. country for all with everyone

:10:40. > :10:45.playing their part. A Britain we have rebuilt together. The man who

:10:45. > :10:48.declared that new Labour was dead today did his own rebranding,

:10:48. > :10:54.unveiling the one-nation Labour, as its replacement.

:10:54. > :10:59.What do you see when you see Ed Miliband? This party decided today

:10:59. > :11:04.it's all its next prime minister. The test of this speech though, is

:11:04. > :11:09.to you? This up like the beginning of what can be the longest election

:11:09. > :11:14.campaign in history -- this felt like. The mood can be summed up in

:11:14. > :11:17.two words: Game on. The 30-year-old teacher who ran

:11:17. > :11:21.away with one of his pupils to France will return to Britain on

:11:21. > :11:23.Thursday after a court in Bordeaux agreed to his extradition. Jeremy

:11:23. > :11:28.Forrest appeared before judges today, four days after he was

:11:28. > :11:32.arrested on suspicion of abducting 15-year-old Megan Stammers. Our

:11:32. > :11:39.correspondent is there for us now. Matthew, what did Forrest say in

:11:39. > :11:43.court? George, he was pretty confident

:11:43. > :11:49.actually is. He confirmed his name and date of birth and then in

:11:49. > :11:53.answer to a number of questions, and helped by an interpreter, he

:11:53. > :11:58.answered yes, yes, yes, until the most important one when he said, no,

:11:58. > :12:04.he would not be contesting his extradition. A lot of journalists

:12:05. > :12:09.and photographers at this, so my report contains flash photography.

:12:09. > :12:14.Five days after his arrest, the maths teacher from Eastbourne was

:12:14. > :12:19.brought to court in Bordeaux. regrets? Not to rule on whether he

:12:19. > :12:26.is guilty, simply to work out whether France will extradite him.

:12:26. > :12:30.They hit him from view as best they could. -- they hit him. In court,

:12:30. > :12:36.he looked fairly relaxed and said he would not tried to stop his

:12:36. > :12:41.extradition. He has agreed to be extradited back to the UK as soon

:12:41. > :12:45.as possible and we look forward to the full story emerging. He is very

:12:45. > :12:49.appreciative of the support given to him by his family, in particular

:12:49. > :12:57.his parents. Naturally, Jeremy is most concerned about the impact of

:12:57. > :13:01.this episode on all those affected. That presumably means Megan

:13:01. > :13:05.Stammers in particular. Jeremy Forrest and the school girl half

:13:05. > :13:10.his age had last been spotted on a cross channel ferry. They were

:13:10. > :13:15.eventually found on the street in Bordeaux. He had been to several

:13:15. > :13:19.bars looking for work. They stayed at this hotel for one night. The

:13:19. > :13:25.manager says Jeremy Forrest checked in under a false name for.

:13:25. > :13:30.wanted a room for two persons, and he said to me, she is waiting

:13:30. > :13:34.outside, and that is it. Megan Stammers flew home on Saturday,

:13:34. > :13:38.leaving her teacher behind in a French prison. The judges will be

:13:38. > :13:44.back in court on Thursday and are expected to all the extradition can

:13:44. > :13:50.go ahead. Jeremy Cooke Forest could be back in Britain by the weekend,

:13:50. > :13:54.with the police are keen to talk to him -- Jeremy Forrest. A quick

:13:54. > :13:59.legal footnote. Jeremy Forrest was detained on the European arrest

:13:59. > :14:03.warrant on suspicion of child abduction. Under the terms of that,

:14:03. > :14:07.he can only be charged with a specific crime, so even if Sussex

:14:07. > :14:12.police think there is evidence of other crimes related to this matter,

:14:12. > :14:15.they will be on shaky legal ground. A collision between two passenger

:14:15. > :14:20.boats off Hong Kong has left at least 38 people dead and dozens

:14:20. > :14:23.injured. One of the boats, which had been hired for a party, was

:14:23. > :14:27.carrying more than 120 people when it collided with a passenger ferry

:14:27. > :14:30.and sank. Seven crew members have been arrested.

:14:30. > :14:35.Scotland Yard has confirmed that it is dealing with an allegation that

:14:35. > :14:38.Sir Jimmy Savile raped an underage girl in London in the 1970s. The

:14:38. > :14:43.force said it was looking into the claim to see if it merited a full

:14:43. > :14:47.investigation. The BBC said today that it would make direct contact

:14:47. > :14:57.with police to provide full support over any allegations. June Kelly is

:14:57. > :15:00.There have been a number of new developments today. Surrey police

:15:01. > :15:04.received a complaint which they passed on to officers here at

:15:04. > :15:08.Scotland Yard because the offence is alleged to have taken place in

:15:08. > :15:14.London. We have a statement from Scotland Yard in which they say the

:15:14. > :15:17.allegation is under review by their Sapphire unit, which investigates

:15:18. > :15:23.rape and the sexual offences, and they say inquiries continue. They

:15:23. > :15:26.say it is not an investigation but it could become one. We have also

:15:26. > :15:28.had a statement from the BBC tonight, and they say they are

:15:29. > :15:33.horrified that some of these alleged offences could have

:15:33. > :15:37.happened on BBC premises, and they say the BBC investigations unit

:15:37. > :15:43.will now be contacting police and offering to help them with any

:15:43. > :15:46.inquiries. Also on the BBC front, there are questions about why the

:15:46. > :15:50.Newsnight programme dropped an investigation into Jimmy Savile. It

:15:50. > :15:53.has been claimed there was internal pressure inside the corporation.

:15:53. > :16:03.But it has denied that and said it was taken for editorial reasons,

:16:03. > :16:04.

:16:04. > :16:13.Our top story tonight: Police looking for April Jones in mid-

:16:13. > :16:18.Wales have arrested a 46-year-old man. And coming up... Even 007

:16:18. > :16:21.could not keep its top-secret, Adele's new Bond theme leaks on to

:16:21. > :16:27.the internet. Later on the news channel, the

:16:27. > :16:30.British Chambers of Commerce say Britain is already out of recession,

:16:30. > :16:40.and the Wall Street bank JP Morgan Chase is being sued over Mortgage

:16:40. > :16:42.

:16:42. > :16:46.Space scientists across the world are attempting a cosmic clean-up

:16:46. > :16:50.with thousands of pieces of junk hurtling around in Orbit.

:16:50. > :16:54.Organisations such as NASA and the European Space Agency are trying to

:16:54. > :16:58.find the most effective way of collecting the debris, as David

:16:58. > :17:01.Shukman reports. If they do not succeed, it could crash into

:17:01. > :17:11.satellites, bringing down everything from mobile phone

:17:11. > :17:14.networks to TV signals. One of the strangest space experiments is

:17:14. > :17:21.about to begin, a hardcore and being fired at a satellite, the aim

:17:21. > :17:27.to find out a way of clearing up all the junk in space. -- A harpoon.

:17:27. > :17:30.This is the chant that the harpoon is meant to tackle, old rockets and

:17:30. > :17:34.satellites in the same area of space at the working satellites

:17:34. > :17:38.that we depend on. Collisions have already happened. The idea is to

:17:38. > :17:44.approach each piece of wreckage, like the satellite on the left, and

:17:44. > :17:48.fire the harpoon to capture it. This way, the junk can be steered

:17:48. > :17:52.into the atmosphere to burn up. It is an urgent task. Space has become

:17:52. > :17:57.a critical part of our infrastructure, we use it every day

:17:57. > :18:01.for weather forecasting, telecommunications, GPS, and the

:18:01. > :18:05.space junk that is up there poses a real threat to satellites which are

:18:05. > :18:09.providing this data. The first step in these laboratories and Hard

:18:09. > :18:15.picture is to test what the harpoon does to the fragile skin of a

:18:15. > :18:19.satellite. -- in Hertfordshire. Two powerfully shot could create even

:18:20. > :18:25.more junk. What they are aiming at is the kind of aluminium structure

:18:25. > :18:29.that most satellites are made of. No surprise that the harpoon has

:18:29. > :18:35.made it through. With these barbs, it could block on, so harpooning

:18:35. > :18:39.could be part of the answer. It is one of several techniques being

:18:39. > :18:43.investigated which is evidence of the growing awareness of the threat

:18:43. > :18:48.of space junk. Last weekend, the skies above Britain were streaked

:18:48. > :18:52.with what may have been space junk burning up. There should be more of

:18:52. > :18:56.this. The costs of harpooning in Orbit are not yet known, but the

:18:56. > :19:01.legacy of the space-age is proving dangerous, and cleaning it up is

:19:02. > :19:06.starting to look burgeoned. -- urgent.

:19:07. > :19:09.Mark Duggan, whose shooting by Metropolitan Police back to last

:19:09. > :19:13.summer's riots, was trying to set up a drugs deal in the minutes

:19:13. > :19:17.before he was killed. That evidence was heard today in the man accused

:19:17. > :19:23.of supplying him with a gun. The 29-year-old boy shot dead by police

:19:23. > :19:29.in Tottenham. We can go live there now to join Matt Prodger. Just run

:19:29. > :19:32.through the evidence heard in court today. Well, George, the defendants

:19:32. > :19:36.in the trial, Kevin Hutchinson- Foster, was talking about the

:19:36. > :19:40.events that led up to the moment when police intercepted a Minnie

:19:40. > :19:45.can hear in Tottenham last year. The passenger was Mark Duggan, and

:19:45. > :19:50.he was shot shortly after he got out. Police say that they later

:19:50. > :19:53.found an illegal handgun here on the grass here, about 10 feet from

:19:53. > :19:58.where he felt. Kevin Hutchinson- Foster denies supplying Mark Duggan

:19:58. > :20:02.with a handgun, but he said he was speaking to him about a drug deal

:20:02. > :20:05.in the minutes before the shooting. For that reason, and because he had

:20:05. > :20:09.been branded a snitch by some members of the community, he said

:20:09. > :20:13.he was fearful when arrested by police and wanted to distance

:20:13. > :20:17.himself from any association with Mark Duggan. The reason the

:20:17. > :20:20.shooting was significant is because it sparked the riots in Tottenham a

:20:20. > :20:26.couple of days later, and the question of whether Mark Duggan had

:20:26. > :20:30.a gun when shot by police as lingered ever since.

:20:30. > :20:34.Barack Obama and his Republican challenger for the US presidency,

:20:34. > :20:38.Mitt Romney, are preparing to go head to head in a TV debate on the

:20:38. > :20:41.economy. Both men know they must get their message across to viewers

:20:41. > :20:44.in a handful of swing states tomorrow night, and among them is

:20:44. > :20:52.Ohio, where both parties are reaching out to middle-class

:20:52. > :20:56.families. Steve Kingstone reports. At home with the Shorts, a modern-

:20:56. > :21:01.day middle-class family whose triumphs and Strettle show a

:21:01. > :21:09.snapshot of Barack Obama's American Pie. -- struggles. The head of the

:21:09. > :21:13.family is one of America's unemployed. I am 53 years old, a

:21:13. > :21:18.construction labourer, and I have been laid off for 15 months.

:21:18. > :21:22.talk about President Obama and Mitt Romney. I would honestly like to

:23:51. > :23:55.growth and jobs, how will they do what? Well, the bottom line is that

:23:55. > :23:58.they have very little room for manoeuvre. This Government has no

:23:58. > :24:05.taxation or borrowing powers, it can simply divvy up the money that

:24:05. > :24:12.comes from Westminster, �15 billion also for next year. There is an
