14/10/2013 BBC News at Six

Police have released more details about a man they want to trace in

connection with the disappearance of Madeleine McCann. They've issued two

new e-fits of the man. He was seen by eye-witnesses the night Madeleine

disappeared. A white man with dark hair and the child was described as

three to four years old with blonde hair and wearing pyjamas. That is

why we are so. We'll have the latest live from the holiday resort in

Portugal. Also tonight: Jimmy Savile's abuse

could have happened in as many as 30 hospitals, the inquiry is extended.

Another attempt to get through a Buckingham Palace gate. Police

arrest a man with a knife. George Osborne says he wants more

trade with China, and he eases visa rules for visitors from the country.

And remembering Britain's worst pit disaster. More than 400 miners died

at Senghenydd on this day in 1913. Coming up in the sport on BBC News,

Roy Hodgson says he has faith and trust in his players ahead of their

final World Cup qualifier against Poland on Tuesday.

Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.

Police investigating the disappearance of Madeleine McCann in

Portugal six years ago say it's vitally important that they speak to

a man seen by eye-witnesses at the time. They've issued two e-fit

images of the suspect. The family who saw him say he was carrying a

blonde child towards the harbour. Our special correspondent Richard

Bilton joins us now from Praia da Luz.

George, it is 6.5 years since Madeleine McCann disappeared from

that apartment block behind me. For 2.5 years, the British police have

been looking for clues. Today they released an e-fit which they think

could be important. Is this the man who holds the key to the Madeleine

McCann case? Two different e-fits of the same man seen carrying a child

towards the beach. The sighting was in the evening of the 3rd of May. It

was a man walking down the street with a child in his arms. The man

was a white man with dark hair and the child was described as three to

four years old with blonde hair, possibly wearing pyjamas. That is

why we are so interested. The sighting was at this junction near

the apartment where the McCann family were staying. It was made by

an Irish family. At 10pm it changes the timeline of that night. We know

that at 8:30pm, Madeleine and her brother and sister were left in the

apartment when her parents went for a meal in the complex. At five past

9pm, Jeremy Campbell checks on the children. At ten o'clock Kate McCann

checked and realised the children had displayed -- Gerry McCann. That

new e-fit stares out of what degrees TV screens today. It is in most of

the newspapers as well. Locals welcomed the latest effort.

TRANSLATION: So many years have gone by. Let's hope she is found now. It

is not just the local press. Six years on and this case still

fascinates the world. The Crimewatch material will be shown in the

Netherlands, Germany and Ireland. It is generating headlines across

Europe. Sometimes people see something and they think, I was

there. But six years is a long time. What police want to do through

Crimewatch is make that crucial night, live. They have produced a

detailed reconstruction of what they think happened. We are not the ones

who have done something wrong here. It is the person who has gone into

the apartment and taken the little girl away from her family. The

attention once again returns to the small town of Praia da Luz. The

mayor hopes this will make a difference. We would like to see

this finished. British police say this is an important moment, a trawl

for fresh clues six and a half years since a girl does hear it.

It is not just about the e-fit. British police are still looking for

41 people they say are persons of interest and they are working with

30 different countries to try and track those people down. It is also

worth bearing in mind they do not expect an imminent conclusion. They

said investigations like this are long slog. Thank you. You can see

the full Crimewatch appeal on BBC One tonight at nine o'clock.

The investigation into Jimmy Savile's alleged abuse of patients

is to be extended. The BBC understands detectives are looking

into allegations of abuse at as many as 30 hospitals. Today, the Health

Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, said new information has come to light. So

far the enquiry has focused on three hospitals, Broadmoor, Stoke

Mandeville and Leeds General and ten further trusts.

Family entertainer, serial sexual abuse. Jimmy Savile offended

wherever he was given the chance. At the BBC but also at NHS hospitals.

Broadmoor is one of the most secure psychiatric hospitals, yet Savile

was given an official role here and a set of keys, allowing him access

to one young vulnerable woman. He has since had a sex change and says

he was among Savile's victims. Waiting for answers from the NHS he

says he is not surprised abuse has happened at other hospitals. There

is a whole lifetime of offending to look at and he travelled all over

the country. If what he was doing at Broadmoor and Leeds General

Infirmary was anything like he was doing, he would have done that

everywhere else as well. Here at Stoke Mandeville Hospital, Jimmy

Savile was a well-known figure. He had a room to stay in and an office.

What is now clear is the full extent of his offending across the NHS is

only just emerging. So what does this mean for victims who have

relived experiences to help the enquiry is? One lawyer says many

dismayed at this delay. Their evidence was quite detailed so all

these organisations should have been known about. This is being used as

an excuse to prolong an enquiry. The Health Secretary said the reviews

followed evidence. 13 hospitals had already been named but others were

mentioned. No minister was available to explain further. But now Kate

Lampard, the lawyer overseeing the enquiry says they will report back

next year. The Lampard report will be delayed because of the many more

victims who are coming forward and the other institutions which are

being named and need to be investigated properly. We do need a

proper investigation. Hospitals should be a place of care and

safety. That was not the case for Savile's victims. The organisation

invited him in and now has to account for that.

Police are continuing to question four men arrested under the

Terrorism Act in a series of raids across London last night. Police

said the raids were made during a preplanned terrorism operation. Our

home affairs correspondent June Kelly joins us now from Scotland

Yard. How much do we know about this? We do not have a great many

details. This is suspected Islamist terrorist act vividly in the UK. All

these men are British nationals but they are of different ethnic

origins. One is of Pakistani origin, one is Turkish, one Algerian

and the fourth comes from as by Sian. The raids were carried out by

counterterrorism officers supported by firearms units -- Azerbaijan. The

firearms teams fired special rounds at the tyres of a card to immobilise

it. This operation followed a joint investigation involving police and

the security service MI5. Tonight, the four men are being held and

questioned at a top security London police station.

Thank you. Police say a man armed with a knife has been arrested after

trying to get into Buckingham Palace. The 44-year-old was stopped

when he tried to get through the palace's north centre gate. Peter

Hunt has the details. They are taking no chances at Buckingham

Palace. Even cameras have to keep the

distance. The police have had to confront people trying to enter the

Queen's London residents without an invitation. This morning, the

would-be intruder arrived at this gate. He was apprehended immediately

say the police and found to have a knife. This is a week before the

next significant royal event. Although this incident was

unfortunate and the palace dealt with it effectively, in the wake of

high-profile royal events such as the christening which is coming up,

this could have provided a useful dress rehearsal. Prince Andrew, who

was in Japan earlier this month, was a victim of heightened royal

security. He was stopped by armed officers in the garden of Buckingham

Palace demanding to know who he was. The prince was not amused. The

police apologised. This morning's incident appeals to be an example of

royal security being tested and working as it should. There have

been several security breaches which have left the Windsors exposed. Two

decades on from when the Queen woke up and found a stranger at the end

of her bed, these two men made it close to her balcony in 2004. He

spent five hours on this ledge as part of a campaign about access

rights for fathers. At Windsor Castle, a comedian, dressed like

this, gate-crashed Prince William's 21st party and kissed the future

King on both cheeks. In response, the law on trespass at Royal palaces

has been tightened. The Queen, who was not here when the 44-year-old

man tried to get in this morning, will be relieved this was resolved

as quickly as it was. George Osborne says it is time we thought

differently about China, seeing it as a rapidly changing country and

not some vast sweatshop. Speaking on a trade mission, he has

announced he will make it easier for visas for visitors from China.

British investment in China is relatively small. Over the past nine

years it amounted to less than 1% of the UK's total GDP. Our chief

business correspondent Linda Yueh sent this report from raging.

Chancellor George Osborne and London Mayor Boris Johnson's visit to a

university marks the first official visit to China since Prime Minister

David Cameron met with the Dalai Lama and relations fell into a deep

freeze. A warm response from students who

gathered to hear Britain's ideas on how they can benefit the world's

second-biggest economy. I do not want Britain to resent China's

success, I want us to celebrate it. I do not want to resist your

economic progress, I want Britain to share in it. And I want this week,

all of us to take the next big step in a relationship between Britain

and China. To bolster that relationship, some of the steps are,

Chinese investment in projects like the Manchester Airport project,

positioning London as an exchange hub for the Chinese currency, easing

entry into the UK with a pilot scheme for visas. It is not easy to

manoeuvre in China. Boris Johnson found that as he tries to mingle.

Turning on the charm though is part of what the Brits need to do. The

Americans are here and the Germans I had, why are the British not here?

It is like being late to the party but we are now at the party. May be

too late. No, the party is just getting underway. We have arrived

fashionably late. Whether it is a company or a country, it is easy to

be first in the market than to play catch up. It is called the first

mover AdVantage. But that is where Britain finds itself. Other

countries have been here far longer. It is one of the reasons why German

exports five times more to Britain than China. An official with close

ties to the Chinese government thinks it will be hard for the UK to

make up lost ground. Britain is not unique. They are seeking Chinese

investment. That is not at all unique. I think the whole idea of so

we bring a big delegation, it is not a big deal for the Chinese. That may

be why Osborne is not meeting with the highest Chinese officials.

Still, he needs to demonstrate why it is mutually beneficial for China

to deal with Britain. But there is a long queue of countries doing the

same thing. police in leads have arrested and bailed a 10-year boy in

connection with the death of a pensioner. The man, who was 79, was

found lying in the street in the Harehills area of the city yesterday

evening. He died later. Exactly 24 hours ago, emergency services were

behind me treating that pensioner for head injuries. Shortly

beforehand, it is understood he was involved in some sort of row with

the child. The pensioner has been named locally as Victor Hepworth.

Police have said he didn't die of head injury, but they have arrested

a 10-year boy today. This is where 79-year-old Victor Hepworth

collapsed yesterday evening. But the exact circumstances of his death are

still being investigated. According to neighbours, he lived here all his

life, was well-known and well liked by generations of people, especially

children, who he would give sweets too. Abdul grew up living next door.

He was one of the nicest people you could meet. He helped the

community, he helped the local children. This backstreet down here,

I grew up in this backstreet. I know him since I was a baby. He has

helped every kid in this street. I couldn't say anything bad about him.

This is Mr Hepworth helping at his local church. But now a child aged

just ten has been arrested and bailed in connection with his death.

Further investigations may focus on a row he is believed to have had

with the child before he collapsed. Police searching for Madeleine

McCann issue two new e-fits of a man they want to talk to. He was seen by

eyewitnesses the night Madeleine disappeared. Still to come... How

much would you pay for a Banksy? We will be hearing from New Yorkers who

missed out on a real bargain. In Sportsday, elite athletes across

Britain have been finding out if they've got funding for the real

Olympics. Triple jumper Phillips Idowu is among those who missed out.

Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in women worldwide.

Almost all cases are caused by the human papilloma virus, or HPV. In

the UK, girls aged 12 to 13 are given a vaccine against the strains

of HPV which cause around 70% of cancers. The disease kills thousands

of women globally every year, with 85% of those deaths in developing

countries. Laos in Southeast Asia is one of the developing nations to

benefit from the new vaccination programme. Active and healthy. The

Vaccines they had as infants helped these girls escape many childhood

infections. Now they will be protected against a cancer which

kills women in the prime of life, a disease triggered by the sexually

transmitted human papilloma virus. Laos is one of 40 developing

countries where there are plans to introduce the HPV vaccine in the

coming years. This is a milestone in women's health. These girls are

benefiting from a vaccine which is offered routinely in wealthier

countries, but it's an polar nations where HPV immunisation has the

potential to save the most lives. It is being made possible by the global

Alliance for vaccines and immunisation, for which the UK is by

far the biggest donor. Approximately 275,000 women die every year

globally of cervical cancer, and 85% of those in the poorest countries in

the world. This is estimated to double, so that's why the vaccine is

so important. Health care here is basic and even in the capital. A

senior doctor tells me there is no national screening programme for

cervical cancer, which could detect the disease early. And in Laos,

there is no radiotherapy for any cancer patient. How can we help?

Just let the patient die? It is so hopeless. I cannot do anything. This

girl's mother died from cervical cancer. She and her niece nursed her

through a long and harrowing illness. It was painful to see her

suffering, she told me. She was in agony and we have to spend a lot of

money on treatment, none of which saved her. She should not suffer the

same fate as her grandmother, and it's her aunt, a nurse, who gives

her the first of three HPV jobs she will receive in the coming months.

The HPV vaccine is being supplied for a fraction of the cost paid by

wealthier countries. But developing nations must supply the nurses and

show the commitment needed if pilot projects like this are to become

full national programmes, protecting women's health for decades to come.

Concerns are growing this evening for a British teacher who's been

missing in Qatar since the early hours of Saturday morning.

24-year-old Lauren Patterson, who is originally from Kent, is working as

a primary school teacher in Doha. The Foreign Office say they are

providing consular assistance to her family. The government has announced

changes to the way schools are ranked in England. More importance

is to be put on a number of pupils who achieve good grades in the nine

core subjects, instead of five good GCSEs marks in any subject. It is

over concerns that some schools are manipulating their place in the

league tables by pushing pupils into more practical courses like art and

drama. Hundreds of people have attended a memorial service in the

Aber Valley in South Wales, to mark the 100th anniversary of Britain's

worst mining disaster. 439 miners and one rescue workers were killed

in a gas explosion at Senghenydd coalmine in 1913. Our correspondent

is there now. You can tell from all the fresh flowers laid here today

how much this memorial means to the community here. It is a community

which 100 years ago today suffered deep loss. 300 women were widowed,

500 children left without their fathers. And all because of an

explosion deep underground. Sounded through the valley, the old pit

hooter marks the moment 100 years ago, when life here changed. I could

see the flame in my lamp getting dimmer, I could hear a boy shouting

for his father, where's my father, I want my father! The man said, it's

an explosion. Triggered by a single spark, that explosion roared through

the mine. Only 18 men were found alive. Newsreels captured the

morning that followed. Senghenydd had suffered accidents before, but

nothing on this scale. The mine eventually closed in 1928, the year

built Tudor was born. His uncle Alfred had been one of the victims.

A collier boy, aged 14. No one never spoke about it. The grief was

obvious in the village, but today they talk about counselling. Then, I

think they'd comfort each other because they knew each other, the

families knew each other. Children here do now learn about the

disaster. At the school built on the old mine, pupils know they are

rooted in its history. My great-great-grandfather died in the

explosion. I know lots of other people died, but that is my

connection. It feels really sad in my heart. After years of feeling its

history was forgotten, now the village has a new connection to its

past, a National Mining Memorial. A three-year-old girl is in hospital

tonight lucky to be alive, after she fell from the top deck of a ferry

into the River Mersey. She was rescued by two crew men, who died in

-- dived into the river and pulled her back onto the landing stage. The

accident happened at Secombe on the Wirral. This is the ferry this

three-year-old girl fell from. It's been a cold, wet and windy day here.

It must have been absolutely terrifying when she fell from the

top deck here into the grey, cold Mersey. But within seconds, two

crewman jumped in after her. They managed to find her, pull her to

safely and, amazingly, all she was suffering from was a scratch on the

head. As for the company that runs the ferries here, they suspended all

services while they investigate what happened. Those services will go on

tomorrow. As for the young girl, she is recovering in hospital and is it

better to be home with her family tonight. How much would you pay for

a Banksy? Work by the graffiti artist normally sells for tens of

thousands of pounds in top galleries. So imagine the surprise

when he offered some of his pieces for just $60 on a New York street,

only to find that most people simply walked by. All this month his

graffiti has been the talk of the town and the focus of countless

smart phones. But when Banksy set up a stall at New York's Central Park

selling his works for just $60, you pay them any attention. These

bargain basement Banksys are worth up to $20,000. But it took over four

hours to make the first sale, and then the woman managed to negotiate

a 50% discount will stop this man from Chicago bought four, saying he

needed something to fill the wall space in his new home. He walked

away with a fortune. But over the course of the day, just eight works

were sold, producing morning after agony for this are clipping city.

Yesterday you could have got a Banksy for $60. Too bad I wasn't

over there. I'd don't know how people didn't realise what it was.

The irony is that some New Yorkers were already trying to catch in on

the month long show. Here, they'd even got as far as ripping off the

doors of this graffiti strewn car. But the chance to make an honest

buck has gone begging. Today was not a pretty picture for a

lot of us. Raining cats and dogs. The showers we have had today will

be clearing away. A touch of grass frost on the way during the course

of the night. The area of low pressure will drift away, taking

showers with it. Where the skies clear, particularly across southern

Wales and south-west England, in ruble will spot the temperatures

will be down to two Credo Greece, which is cold enough for a bit of

grass frost. Tomorrow, the Western Isles of Scotland wake up to some

bright weather. Eastern Scotland, around Fife and along most of that

North Sea coast it is still going to be cloudy. That nagging wind that

has been here for the last few days keeps on dragging in the leftover of

that low pressure. Still some low cloud around. The cloud will be as

far west as the Midlands and possibly western fringes of Wales.

Basically, it's the south-west where we will have the brightest weather.

Tomorrow looks as though it will turn much brighter for some of us. A

much better day. The winds will be lighter. Wednesday, the sunshine

will not last. Another weather front comes our way. Where it rains on

Wednesday in the east, only around 11 degrees. The other side of that

weather front is warmer. Temperatures get up to the high

teens.
