Police are criticised for missing chances to stop a psychiatric

patient killing for a second time. Nicola Edgington made several calls

:00:10.:00:15.

for help before the murder. The footage that shows her running away.

The victim's family want answers.Whilst the family are

:00:22.:00:25.

believed that a very dangerous woman has been taken off the

:00:25.:00:30.

streets, they remain concerned at the many questions that remain over

:00:30.:00:32.

the actions of the authorities. We'll be asking why the authorities

:00:32.:00:36.

didn't do more. Also tonight, the Queen leaves hospital. She's

expected to spend the next few days resting. High hopes of a win in the

:01:18.:01:27.

Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six. The police watchdog

:01:27.:01:30.

has highlighted a series of missed chances that might have prevented

:01:30.:01:33.

the murder of a grandmother by a psychiatric patient who had already

:01:33.:01:37.

killed her own mother. 32-year-old Nicola Edgington was today given a

:01:37.:01:40.

37-year jail sentence for killing Sally Hodkin in southeast London

:01:40.:01:46.

two years ago. In the hours before the murder, Edgington had made

:01:46.:01:49.

several calls asking the police to help her because she thought she

:01:50.:01:58.

was going to kill someone. June Kelly is at the Old Bailey.George,

:01:58.:02:03.

this is a young woman who, eight years ago, inflicted a terrible

:02:03.:02:08.

tragedy on her own family and then did the same to another family. Two

:02:08.:02:11.

things have happened today. The police watchdog produced its report

:02:11.:02:16.

and also Nicola Edgington was given a life term by a judge at the Old

:02:16.:02:20.

Bailey. This is Nicola Edgington just after she has committed murder

:02:20.:02:25.

on a suburban street. Using a stolen butcher's knife she's also

:02:25.:02:30.

almost decapitated a victim. She runs into a shop after hearing

:02:30.:02:35.

police sirens. A short time later, she is under arrest. Nicola

:02:35.:02:39.

Edgington had killed before, stabbing her mother to death in

:02:39.:02:44.

2005, and was conflicted -- convicted of manslaughter. Six

:02:44.:02:48.

years later, Sally Hodkin became her second victim. She did not know

:02:48.:02:58.
:02:58.:03:01.

her, it was a random attack. Today, Outside the Old Bailey, the

:03:01.:03:06.

family's lawyer spoke for them. Whilst the family are believed a

:03:06.:03:09.

very dangerous woman has been taken off the streets, they remain

:03:09.:03:13.

concerned at the very many questions that remain over the

:03:13.:03:17.

actions of the authorities. Nicola Edgington was released in

:03:17.:03:22.

psychiatric care in 2009 because she was considered safe. Two years

:03:22.:03:26.

later, in the early hours of the morning, she took a taxi to a

:03:26.:03:31.

hospital in south London. From the hospital, she made a series of 999

:03:31.:03:41.
:03:41.:03:50.

She was not detained and then left to the hospital and went on a bus

:03:50.:03:54.

for Bexleyheath in south London. She went into Asda and bought a

:03:54.:04:00.

knife, and use it to attack another woman who managed to escape. Nicola

:04:00.:04:03.

Edgington stole a knife from a butcher's shop and a short distance

:04:03.:04:08.

away, murdered Sally Hodkin. Today, both medical staff and the police

:04:08.:04:11.

were attacked by the police watchdog for failing to use their

:04:11.:04:16.

powers to detain her and the police are also criticised for not

:04:16.:04:20.

checking on her history. Both the police and hospital staff are

:04:20.:04:23.

lacking in crucial information about Nicola Edgington which

:04:23.:04:26.

potentially could have changed the way in which she was dealt with at

:04:26.:04:30.

the hospital. This was a young woman who should have had more

:04:30.:04:35.

support according to those who work in the mental health field. It's a

:04:35.:04:38.

worrying indictment of the psychiatric system because if they

:04:38.:04:42.

can't cope with that a relatively few people with mental illness who

:04:42.:04:46.

have such a history of violence, it casts doubt on how they cope with a

:04:47.:04:51.

majority of people who are never ever violent. But, in court, the

:04:51.:04:55.

judge told Nicola Edgington, she had to take responsibility for what

:04:55.:05:00.

she had done. Very different approaches from the trial judge and

:05:00.:05:04.

those who work in the mental health field, and in response to the

:05:04.:05:07.

report by the police watchdog, the police said it's constantly

:05:07.:05:12.

reviewing its procedures. On the health front, the trust involved

:05:12.:05:15.

has already carried out an internal review and it has acknowledged it

:05:15.:05:20.

should be more alive to problems posed by a Nicola Edgington. Two

:05:20.:05:24.

nurses have been sacked. The NHS commissioning Board has announced

:05:24.:05:28.

there is to be an independent investigation into what it called

:05:28.:05:33.

this tragic and harrowing case. Thanks very much. Thank you. The

:05:33.:05:36.

Queen left hospital this afternoon after being treated for symptoms of

:05:36.:05:38.

gastroenteritis. She thanked hospital staff before being driven

:05:38.:05:46.

away from the King Edward VII's Hospital in central London. Our

:05:46.:05:48.

Royal Correspondent, Nicholas Witchell, is outside Buckingham

:05:48.:05:55.

Palace. She looked quite so brightly this afternoon. She did.

:05:55.:05:59.

Looking at her, you want think she is leaving hospital as a newly

:05:59.:06:04.

discharged patient. She looked, for all the world, like the Queen

:06:04.:06:09.

always looks. She looked relaxed and composed after less than 24

:06:09.:06:13.

hours in hospital. She is now at Buckingham Palace, spending the

:06:13.:06:17.

night here with some fairly firm advice from her doctors to rest and

:06:17.:06:22.

take things easy for the next few days. I wonder whether the key to

:06:22.:06:28.

the whole hospital admission doesn't lie in the world -- word

:06:28.:06:31.

"Assessment" In a statement yesterday. Doctors will want to be

:06:31.:06:34.

sure what is causing the sickness so it seems logical that there

:06:34.:06:39.

would have been tests and possibly scans, that sort of thing. Once

:06:39.:06:42.

that was complete, and the Queen feeling much better, it was

:06:42.:06:47.

possible for her to leave hospital. Have a hope and expectation is she

:06:47.:06:51.

will be able to resume public engagements, all being well, next

:06:51.:06:56.

week. Thanks very much. In a world- first, doctors in America believe

:06:56.:06:59.

they have effectively cured a girl born with HIV, the virus that can

:06:59.:07:02.

lead to AIDS. Doctors believe the key to the baby's recovery could be

:07:02.:07:06.

the very early treatment she received within hours of being born.

:07:06.:07:09.

The case in Mississippi could have implications for the treatment of

:07:09.:07:13.

babies born with the infection around the world. Our Medical

:07:13.:07:20.

Correspondent Fergus Walsh reports., in three decades of the battle

:07:20.:07:26.

against the human -- HIV virus, victories like this have been rare.

:07:26.:07:32.

It happened in Mississippi. An HIV- positive mother turned up in Labour

:07:32.:07:36.

at hospital and passed on the infection to her baby. Doctors

:07:36.:07:40.

began drug treatment which was meant to continue for life but

:07:40.:07:44.

after 18 months, her mother stopped bringing her for medication. Five

:07:44.:07:49.

months later, doctors expected the worst but tests could find no signs

:07:49.:07:55.

of infection. We believe that perhaps the initiation of very

:07:55.:08:03.

early drug therapy prevented the formation of the viral forms in the

:08:03.:08:08.

T-cells. It sets the stage for the agenda going forward. HIV attacks

:08:08.:08:11.

the immune system targeting cells known as CD4 or T cells inserting

:08:11.:08:13.

its genetic material, hijacking their function and making extra

:08:13.:08:23.
:08:23.:08:24.

copies of itself. Drug treatment can keep the infection in check but

:08:24.:08:27.

the virus remains hidden in cell reservoirs which is why a cure is

:08:27.:08:33.

not currently thought possible. But here the baby was given combination

:08:33.:08:36.

anti-retroviral therapy within hours of birth. And this apparently

:08:36.:08:43.

prevented the virus taking hold. Although some genetic material

:08:43.:08:46.

remains, it appears unable to replicate or infect and so the

:08:46.:08:52.

child is what's known as functionally cured. In Britain, HIV

:08:52.:08:56.

testing is routine in early pregnancy. Medication for the

:08:56.:09:00.

mother can minimise the risks of HIV being passed on. So this case

:09:00.:09:04.

is unusual. Mother to child transmission is completely

:09:04.:09:09.

preventable if you are diagnosed early enough and give them other

:09:09.:09:13.

treatment. In the rare cases like this, it does occur, however, this

:09:13.:09:17.

is an interesting piece of data because it suggests we may be able

:09:17.:09:22.

to do something in cases where the baby is already infected. There

:09:22.:09:27.

could be something unusual about the girls genetics which makes so

:09:27.:09:31.

resistant to HIV. Full details have yet to be handed to scientists for

:09:32.:09:36.

scrutiny. But it is, the very least, a promising development in the

:09:36.:09:40.

fight against this virus. A There are new questions tonight about the

:09:40.:09:43.

government's flagship programme designed to boost bank lending to

:09:43.:09:49.

small businesses and households. The latest figures, covering the

:09:49.:09:52.

last three months of 2012, show lending was down by nearly �2.5

:09:52.:09:54.

billion compared to the previous quarter. Our Chief Economics

:09:54.:10:03.

Correspondent, Hugh Pym, reports.'it was the Bank of England

:10:03.:10:06.

and the Government's recipe for boosting lending in the economy,

:10:06.:10:11.

the scheme was launched last summer but this business owner says it has

:10:11.:10:15.

not made things easier for her. She wants to develop her cooking

:10:15.:10:20.

business and open a restaurant but so far, banks have turned it down.

:10:20.:10:23.

I don't think the banks are reasonable because I'm creating

:10:23.:10:28.

jobs. I'm creating jobs for the community here, I'm going to create

:10:28.:10:33.

something I'm passionate about and also its expanding the business.

:10:34.:10:37.

While she is passionate about developing a new side, banks are to

:10:37.:10:41.

think hard about where they learn their money. The Bank of England

:10:41.:10:45.

wants to encourage more borrowing. Under the scheme it lends money to

:10:45.:10:49.

banks and building societies, this will be at an extra low interest

:10:49.:10:52.

rate as long as they pass the funding on to companies and

:10:52.:10:56.

households, but if their lending falls, they will have to pay a

:10:56.:10:59.

higher interest paid to the Bank of England. The latest figures show,

:11:00.:11:02.

while banks and building societies took some of the Bank of England

:11:02.:11:06.

money on offer, their lending to businesses and consumers actually

:11:06.:11:10.

fell in the last few months of last year. The government says it may

:11:10.:11:14.

take a while for the money to work through the system. It takes time

:11:14.:11:19.

to build and the comparison is what would have happened without it, and

:11:19.:11:23.

what we saw his interest rates were beginning to rise because it was

:11:23.:11:28.

difficult for banks to get hold of funds and loans were not available.

:11:28.:11:31.

There is evidence from the housing market the scheme as having an

:11:31.:11:34.

impact. Lenders say they have been able to get access to cheap loans

:11:34.:11:38.

at the Bank of England and pass on the benefits to homebuyers.

:11:38.:11:42.

Mortgage rates on many products in recent months have come down. But

:11:43.:11:45.

while it may be helping borrowers in the housing market, officials of

:11:45.:11:49.

the Bank of England admit the scheme is not increasing finance

:11:49.:11:52.

for small businesses and labour argues the latest news is deeply

:11:52.:11:56.

disappointing and the government should be done a lot more to kick-

:11:56.:11:59.

start the economy. HSBC has reported pre-tax profits of nearly

:11:59.:12:04.

�14 billion. That's a fall of 6% and slightly lower than had been

:12:04.:12:13.

predicted. The Bank posted the profits despite paying more than a

:12:13.:12:16.

billion pounds to the US authorities to settle drug money

:12:16.:12:18.

laundering charges in Mexico. Horsemeat has been found in minced

:12:18.:12:21.

beef served in school dinners in Leicestershire. The council, which

:12:21.:12:24.

supplies more than 200 schools across the county, said tests

:12:24.:12:27.

showed the beef contained less than 1% horse DNA. It's been permanently

:12:27.:12:34.

taken off school menus. The Vatican is to investigate the former head

:12:34.:12:37.

of the Catholic church in Scotland, Cardinal Keith O'Brien, who last

:12:37.:12:41.

night admitted sexual misconduct. The scandal comes as Roman Catholic

:12:41.:12:44.

cardinals have started a week of closed-door meetings in Rome before

:12:44.:12:52.

choosing a successor to Pope Benedict. From there Allan Little

:12:52.:13:01.

sent this report. Cardinal O'Brien's admission casts a shadow

:13:01.:13:07.

over the most important decision the Church has to make. The

:13:07.:13:11.

cardinals gather today to stop the process to elect a new Pope. If the

:13:11.:13:14.

allegations against Cardinal O'Brien had not been made public,

:13:14.:13:20.

he would be here among them. The former leader of the Church in

:13:20.:13:24.

England and Wales told me the vast majority of priests honoured their

:13:24.:13:29.

vow of celibacy. The Church's teaching would not change. If it

:13:29.:13:37.

Cardinal O'Brien lived up to the promises he made, that something

:13:37.:13:42.

he's very sorry for. He's apologised. I don't think it takes

:13:43.:13:52.

away from the teaching of the Church and shouldn't do.' Cardinal

:13:52.:13:56.

O'Brien was a vociferous critic of homosexuality, calling gay marriage

:13:56.:13:59.

a grotesque subversion. But last night, he admitted his own sexual

:13:59.:14:06.

conduct had, Times, fallen below what was expected of him. We are

:14:06.:14:09.

sad and the Cardinal can find it in himself to apologise in a statement

:14:09.:14:12.

to gaze Scots on their friends and families, for they had full and

:14:12.:14:18.

vicious language he is used against gay people. At St Mary's Catholic

:14:18.:14:22.

Cathedral in Edinburgh there is a sense of stunned disbelief.

:14:22.:14:28.

shocked. I'm shocked. A very shocked. This has profoundly shaken

:14:28.:14:32.

the Catholic Church in Scotland. Its former leader is accused a

:14:32.:14:36.

staggering hypocrisy. One leading lay Catholic said that it publicly

:14:36.:14:39.

preached against homosexuality while privately known many of its

:14:40.:14:43.

priests were again. A prominent historian said it was the worst

:14:43.:14:47.

crisis since the Reformation and the shockwaves are felt right here

:14:47.:14:54.

in Rome. This morning, the cardinal's prayed for divine

:14:54.:14:57.

guidance and swore an oath to keep their proceedings secret. The

:14:57.:15:02.

Italians among them are said to want a swift transition. But others

:15:02.:15:05.

from the developing world want a Pope who will reform the Italian

:15:05.:15:15.
:15:15.:15:18.

dominated Vatican. The battle lines Our Religious Affairs Correspondent,

:15:18.:15:26.

Robert Pigott, is in Edinburgh for us tonight. What is the reaction to

:15:26.:15:33.

these latest developments? George, the loyalty of congregation's

:15:33.:15:38.

including here at St Mary's Cathedral has been remarkable. But

:15:38.:15:41.

during the day people have been comparing his frequent

:15:41.:15:46.

announcements about homosexual behaviour, with his admission of

:15:46.:15:49.

homosexual conduct and coming to the conclusion he has been

:15:49.:15:55.

hypocritical. And the man appointed by the Pope as the caretaker in

:15:55.:16:00.

this diocese, will say publicly in a mass, the most ringing criticism

:16:00.:16:04.

of the Church has been one of hypocrisy. He will say it has been

:16:04.:16:10.

made with some reason. So a big admission by the man appointed to

:16:10.:16:15.

care take this diocese that there is concern for the Church. He will

:16:15.:16:19.

go on to say it is transit tree. But what the Church will be his it

:16:19.:16:26.

will suck the the same loss of moral ability Ireland did and in

:16:26.:16:30.

the United States. These are unstable times, and the trouble for

:16:30.:16:34.

the Church is, although Cardinal O'Brien was popular, he will take

:16:34.:16:41.

that with him. The Church will fit it will bequeath to it the sense of

:16:41.:16:46.

hypocrisy and double standards he seems to be admitting to.

:16:46.:16:50.

How do you turn around the lives of England's most troubled families?

:17:33.:17:36.

Government figures show that about 120,000 families are responsible

:17:36.:17:38.

for much of the anti-social behaviour that blights so many

:17:38.:17:43.

communities. The Government says a scheme to help those families is

:17:43.:17:47.

just beginning show results. Mike Sergeant has been with a family in

:17:47.:17:56.

Burnley. Troubled families can suck in the

:17:56.:18:01.

resources of a town like Burnley. Costing money from the police,

:18:01.:18:06.

doctors and social workers. There are 375 families on the list with

:18:06.:18:12.

problems such as truancy and anti- social behaviour. 12 months ago,

:18:12.:18:16.

and local resident, Jayne and her son needed help. She was struggling

:18:16.:18:23.

to cope as his behaviour spiralled out of control. There was holes in

:18:23.:18:27.

doors, nine has been thrown, cups being thrown at your head if you

:18:27.:18:31.

said anything wrong to him. People knocking at the door, your son has

:18:31.:18:37.

done this, your son has done that. But with support, life is back on

:18:37.:18:42.

track. Jordan got the help he needed and now wants to train to be

:18:42.:18:51.

a chef. I am 110% confidence. 12 months ago I did not see a way out.

:18:51.:18:56.

Be each success story suggests it is possible to improve the lives of

:18:56.:19:02.

some of these people, at least for a while. The question is whether

:19:02.:19:06.

targeted information can -- intervention can make a permanent

:19:06.:19:13.

change. Each family gets money from the Government if it can get a

:19:13.:19:17.

family of the list. Nichola Parker has been working with some of the

:19:17.:19:22.

most challenging cases. We can turn their lives around. We have a

:19:22.:19:27.

number of success stories. We have had good improvement in attendance

:19:27.:19:31.

at school. We have children with aspirations now. If families refuse

:19:31.:19:36.

help, the threat of punishment is not far away. Critics say that is

:19:36.:19:41.

the problem with Government's attempts to help the issue, seeking

:19:41.:19:46.

to penalise families without tackling ill-health, and bad

:19:46.:19:52.

education. Many intervention come with the threat of sanction, and

:19:52.:19:59.

that is not a stable foundation to build long-term change. Jayne and

:19:59.:20:02.

Jordan benefited from a belief they could be saved from a dysfunctional

:20:02.:20:06.

existence. The question is, how many other troubled families can

:20:06.:20:12.

make a permanent change to Police in Northern Ireland believe

:20:12.:20:14.

they've foiled an attempted bomb attack by dissident republicans

:20:14.:20:18.

after discovering four live mortar bombs in Londonderry. Three men

:20:18.:20:21.

were arrested after the devices were found in a van. Chris Buckler

:20:21.:20:31.

is in Londonderry for us. Those mortar bombs were driven into the

:20:31.:20:36.

city, coming close to the houses behind me. A heavily populated area.

:20:36.:20:40.

Rhodes had been closed and people have not been able to get to their

:20:40.:20:44.

houses. But it is not the disruption concerning people, it is

:20:44.:20:48.

the potential for death and destruction. Inside this ban,

:20:48.:20:52.

mortar bombs were primed and ready to be used. They were stopped by

:20:52.:20:56.

the police just minutes away from Derry City centre. Officers have

:20:56.:21:01.

spent the day examining the weapons. The mortar tubes were in the back

:21:01.:21:05.

of the vehicle and the roof had been cut back so they could be

:21:05.:21:09.

fired directly from the ban. Police believe the intended target was a

the fact it was so advanced will be of concern to the police and the

public. There are reasons behind those

worries. This is the most significant find in recent months,

but beyond that, while mortar bombs had been used in Northern Ireland

before, this is a new development that dissident republicans. It

Prince William has called for more action to tackle the illegal

:22:43.:22:45.

killing and trading of endangered animals like elephants and rhinos.

:22:45.:22:48.

He made the plea in a video message to nearly 200 governments meeting

:22:48.:22:51.

in Thailand this week. They're trying to stop the deadly trade in

:22:51.:22:54.

wildlife. From Bangkok our Science Editor, David Shukman, reports.

:22:54.:22:56.

Behind the scenes at Bangkok airport, the cargo terminal is a

:22:56.:22:59.

hive of activity. For many years this hall was a notorious as an

:22:59.:23:01.

easy route smuggling, drugs and something that has become almost as

:23:01.:23:06.

valuable - the body parts of endangered animals. Customs

:23:06.:23:10.

officers show of one of the most recent calls. This ivory from Kenya

:23:10.:23:18.

was intercepted on its way to China. The authorities say Segers like

:23:18.:23:22.

these prove how they are clamping down on this gruesome and illegal

:23:22.:23:29.

trade. -- seizures. This is just part of one load, but it involved

:23:29.:23:34.

the slaughter of 79 elephants. Demand for ivory is from China,

:23:34.:23:40.

where it is seen as bringing good fortune and prices keep going up.

:23:40.:23:44.

This weighs just over three kilograms and can be sold for about

:23:44.:23:51.

�4,000, about $6,000. Double and treble that in China. The trade

:23:51.:23:56.

begins with a trail of blood in the African bush, 25,000 albums were

:23:56.:24:01.

killed in 2011, almost certainly more last year. -- elephants. To

stop the slaughter, a conference is happening in Thailand with a video

appeal by Prince William bull stock we must do more to reverse this

crime. If not, we could see populations of these creatures, or

:24:18.:24:22.

an entire species disappear from the wild. We simply must not let

this catastrophe unfold. To tackle the trade, this in you forensic

their attempts to commit crime. But now Batman has been bringing

:25:19.:25:22.

perpetrators to justice over here. A man dressed as the caped crusader,

:25:22.:25:24.

walked into a Bradford police station and handed over a wanted

:25:24.:25:27.

man who he'd detained after making a citizen's arrest. Danny Savage

:25:27.:25:37.
:25:37.:25:38.

It sounds like the most exciting thing ever to happen at this police

:25:38.:25:42.

station in Bradford, but when that man brought in a suspect, the

:25:42.:25:48.

reality was a bit more sedate. Leaning against the front desk for

:25:48.:25:52.

an officer, the caped Crusader chatted to the man he is handing

:25:52.:25:57.

over, who has been charged with handling stolen goods and fraud.

:25:57.:26:01.

But the identity of the man in the costume remains a mystery. Although,

:26:01.:26:06.

as he would expect from a man of his pedigree, he disappeared into

:26:06.:26:11.

the night. Across town, someone believes they have met the man

:26:11.:26:16.

behind the mask. Do you think you have solved -- sold the costume to

:26:17.:26:24.

the man? I believe I did. How do you know? He was very specific. He

:26:24.:26:30.

wanted a grey outfit. Anything more you can tell us? I believe he lives

:26:30.:26:35.

on let the avenues. Do you feel safer knowing that man is on the

:26:35.:26:41.

streets of Bradford? Are caused, he is looking after us if he is not in

:26:41.:26:46.

the police station. It is nice someone is out there wanting to do

:26:46.:26:53.

good. But to dress up, you can attract the wrong attention. This

:26:53.:26:57.

impersonator was attracting attention today, turning heads. But

:26:57.:27:02.

the question remains - who is the Bradford Batman?

:27:02.:27:11.

Let's take a look at the weather It has been beautiful. But we are

:27:12.:27:17.

going to see some boggy patches overnight. It will turn fine and

:27:18.:27:22.

sunny again tomorrow. Increasing amounts of Sunshine spreading

:27:22.:27:27.

across the near Continent. It was cold and grey across parts of north

:27:27.:27:32.

east England. Most of us having a fine end to the day. Temperatures

:27:33.:27:38.

falling away quickly already. A widespread frost. Those areas of

fog developing, but Italy across parts of central and eastern

:27:42.:27:50.

England. Out of the Times Centre, below freezing. Let's concentrate

on the fog. The Vale of York, Trent Valley into East Anglia, nasty

:27:55.:28:00.

patches for the early morning commute. Freezing fog as well. You

:28:00.:28:07.

could run into nasty patches as you drive to work. Check out your BBC

:28:07.:28:12.

local radio station. The fog will clear and for many of us it is set

:28:12.:28:17.

to beat a stunning day. Pleasantly warm, up into the mid-teens in a

:28:17.:28:23.

few places. The fog should lift by late morning. There will still be

:28:23.:28:29.

one or two areas of low cloud in areas of north-east England. Parts

:28:29.:28:38.

of western Scotland keeping cloud. Temperatures recovering nicely.

:28:38.:28:44.

Some places could get as high as 15 degrees. Enjoy it, it is not going

to last. Low-pressure winding itself up and spilling into us that
