concern is growing. We need to look at the wide range of possibilities | :00:13. | :00:25. | |
of what might have happened. It is of grave concern that such a young | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
child has been missing for such a long time. | :00:30. | :00:30. | |
Mikaeel Kular has been missing since Wednesday night when his mother put | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
him to bed. Officers say there was a possible sighting of him yesterday | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
morning but it's not confirmed. Also tonight, Ed Miliband pledges to | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
break up the big high street banks if Labour wins the next election. | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
The pensioner who might have lived if he hadn't been left waiting over | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
40 minutes for an ambulance. The otter pups and other wildlife | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
struggling to survive, as flooding continues to devastate parts of the | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
UK. And the Japanese soldier who refused | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
to believe World War II was over, and fought on for 29 years, has | :00:58. | :00:58. | |
died. On BBC London: Thousands of | :00:59. | :01:05. | |
commuters are left stranded after disruption to services in and out of | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
St Pancras. And the legal row which has blocked | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
the government turning a school into an academy. | :01:12. | :01:32. | |
Good evening and welcome to the BBC News At Six. | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
Hundreds of police officers on foot, on horseback, with sniffer dogs and | :01:38. | :01:39. | |
helicopters, all helped by local volunteers, are searching for the | :01:40. | :01:41. | |
missing three-year-old Mikaeel Kular. The police say they are | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
investigating the possibility he may have gone missing following what | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
they call a "criminal act". There has been a potential sighting of the | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
boy at 8.30 yesterday morning, but it's not been confirmed as him. The | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
police have praised the local community spirit but say they are | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
deeply concerned. There has been no confirmed sighting of Mikaeel since | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
he was put to bed by his mother two days ago at their home in Edinburgh. | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
In the hunt for the little boy, all police forces have been put on alert | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
across the UK. Our Scotland correspondent Lorna Gordon has the | :02:14. | :02:23. | |
very latest for us in Edinburgh now. A countrywide alert, but the focus | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
of that search still remains very much centred on the area around | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
Mikaeel's home in the north of Edinburgh, and police are adamant | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
that community help here is vital. Dei two in the search for Mikaeel | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
Kular. Hundreds of volunteers responded to an appeal for help. The | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
young, those with families, mothers with their prams. If that was | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
yourself, you would hope that everybody else would be doing the | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
same for you. With mums, it really hits home when kids go missing. | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
Searchers, standing shoulder to shoulder, dressed for the weather. | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
Some doing their job, others donating their time and energy. | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
Police have organised locals into this systematic search of the | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
Edinburgh shoreline. It was checked carefully for clues yesterday, but | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
once again they are sweeping the area, slowly, carefully, looking for | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
any signs, any indication as to where Mikaeel has gone. On one | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
side, the city, and the other, the fourth. Fanning out across the | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
foreshore, searching shrub land and trees. I will stay as long as I am | :03:39. | :03:46. | |
needed to might. To find the little boy. Side. What do we know so far? | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
Mikaeel Kular was last seen when his mother put into bed at nine o'clock | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
on Wednesday evening. The next morning, he had vanished. Police | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
began searching for him shortly afterwards and by yesterday | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
afternoon a UK -wide appeal for information was issued. Police are | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
investigating claims that a child matching Mikaeel's description was | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
seen on this street on the morning he disappeared, and they are keeping | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
an open mind about why he went missing. It is, however, entirely | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
possible that Mikaeel has become the subject of a criminal act. And our | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
investigation has been established as a twin track, to ensure that that | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
eventuality is being and will be fully explored. At Mikaeel's | :04:35. | :04:41. | |
Nursery, parents expressed their shock. He is in my son's class. I | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
can't imagine going through that, getting up and not finding him | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
there. It is just awful. It seems surreal, observed that a little boy | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
could walk out of the house. My son is the same age and there is no way | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
he could get his coat and his shoes on. From fliers handed out locally | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
to digital billboards across Britain, Mikaeel's images | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
everywhere. There is grave concern that this little boy has now been | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
missing for almost 48 hours, and his family are desperate to get him | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
home. With the police talking about the | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
possibility of a criminal act, does this mark a change in emphasis in | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
the investigation? I think more information is slowly coming from | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
the police but they are keen to emphasise that they are keeping an | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
open mind. There is nothing to confirm either way why Mikaeel has | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
gone missing. Their priority, of course, is to find them -- the | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
little boy. They are also trying to work out whether someone else was | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
involved in his disappearance. He is just three years old, two feet tall. | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
They will be trying to ascertain whether he has the strength to open | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
the door in the secure building behind me, where he lived, with a | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
secure entry system. They will be trying to work out whether he could | :06:00. | :06:01. | |
have left of his own accord, or whether someone else was involved. | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
Some more details on the timeline this evening. They say Mikaeel has | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
not been seen at his nursery since Christmas because of a poorly chest. | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
So we know a little more about the past couple of weeks. It is what has | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
happened over the past 48 hours that they are now trying to work out. | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
The Labour leader, Ed Miliband, has outlined his plans to break up | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
Britain's high street banks if his party wins the next election. He | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
says it's time for a "reckoning" with the industry, and that a Labour | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
government would create at least two so-called "challenger banks", by | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
forcing some of the Big Five to sell off branches. The government says | :06:33. | :06:34. | |
it's done that already. Our political editor, Nick Robinson, | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
reports. Please welcome Ed Miliband. A movie | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
star entrance for the Labour leader today, staged a party determined to | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
present him as man enough to stage a showdown with Britain's vested | :06:52. | :06:58. | |
interests. We need a reckoning with our banks, not for retribution, but | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
for reform. That word, reckoning, is the one that they use in the movies | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
when there is a list of misdeeds to avenge. Misdeeds that Ed Miliband | :07:07. | :07:13. | |
listed. Insecure jobs, house prices out of reach, bills too high, thanks | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
not serving the real economy, and David Cameron and George Osborne one | :07:20. | :07:21. | |
congratulations how well they are doing. The return of economic | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
growth, he said, would not solve those problems. If they really | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
believe that a few months of better statistics are going to solve the | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
cost of living crisis, they only go to show they have absolutely no clue | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
about the scale of the problem, or the scale of the solutions required. | :07:40. | :07:46. | |
And today's big Labour solution is a plan to break up Britain's August | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
banks. In Britain, 85% of the small-business lending market is | :07:53. | :07:59. | |
controlled by just format the banks. -- by just four banks. That is one | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
of the most concentrated patterns of ownership in the world. So what is | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
his plan for the reckoning with the big banks? A Labour government, he | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
said, would order an immediate enquiry by competition authorities. | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
A new cap would come on the size that any bank could reach. The aim | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
would be to create two big new competitor banks, challenger banks. | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
Watching the Labour leader in Essex, the boss and the workers of a small | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
IT firm which struggled to raise the funds they needed to expand their | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
business. He talked a lot of sense today, as to what he would do, and | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
tackling the banks and tackling lending to small businesses is | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
crucial. Very crucial. I think a lot of it could be rhetoric, just giving | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
us what we want to hear. And I am quite sceptical. The Prime | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
Minister, and a visit to a road scheme in Norfolk insisted that the | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
coalition was already acting to produce more banking competition. We | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
have been clearing up the mess made by balls and sorting out our banking | :09:03. | :09:09. | |
system, and it is much stronger than Labour. What really need is a whole | :09:10. | :09:16. | |
new plan. I certainly agree we need competition to support business in | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
the recovery, but he is not reinventing the wheel. We have | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
already created two challenger banks out of RBS and Lloyds. At this | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
London brewery, Ed Miliband heard a welcome for his banking plan. | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
Tonight, perhaps he will raise a glass to one more eye-catching | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
policy announcement which he will hope the electorate like the taste | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
of. Great, really nice. Given the anger of many voters, the next | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
election is sure to be what they call it the movies a day of the | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
canning. The fight is over who it will be with. Will it be, as the | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
Labour leadership hope, with the powerful banks and the energy | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
companies, or as the Tories wish, with Labour's record? | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
A woman who accuses the Coronation Street actor William Roache of | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
raping her has told Preston Crown Court she was so humiliated she kept | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
it a secret. She told the jury that the actor, who is 81, raped her | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
twice at his homes in Lancashire in 1967. Mr Roache denies two counts of | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
rape and five counts of indecent assault. The trial continues. | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
A soldier who killed his 20-month-old daughter after | :10:23. | :10:24. | |
surviving an attack in Afghanistan in which five of his fellow soldiers | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
died has been jailed for six years. Lance Corporal Liam Culverhouse, who | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
was a Grenadier Guardsman, admitted causing the death of Khloe Abrams at | :10:33. | :10:43. | |
an earlier hearing. Our defence correspondent Jonathan Beale joins | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
me from outside the court. This is a deeply distressing case, and one in | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
which the judge said Post traumatic stress disorder played a part. Yes, | :10:53. | :10:59. | |
Liam Culverhouse's lawyer said he had never properly been treated for | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
that. That said, the judge when he was sentencing made the point that | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
despite his injuries, mental and physical, from Afghanistan, he was | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
still culpable for the death of baby Khloe. We heard that Liam | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
Culverhouse had a violent temper, but also expressed concern about | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
being left alone with his children. Baby Khloe was taken to hospital at | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
seven weeks old, suffering from multiple fractures to her skull, her | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
limbs and her body. And we now know that she is somebody who died in | :11:29. | :11:35. | |
that incident. Now, we are told there is a serious case review going | :11:36. | :11:38. | |
on at this moment which will seriously ask some of those | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
questions about why the warning signs weren't picked up earlier. | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
Thank you very much. An inquest has heard that a man who | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
died after waiting 42 minutes for an ambulance to arrive might have | :11:51. | :11:52. | |
survived if paramedics had reached him earlier. 74-year-old Fred Pring, | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
from Flintshire, lay dying while his wife called 999 four times. It's | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
emerged an ambulance had been stuck at the local hospital for nearly | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
five hours waiting to drop off a patient. Our correspondent Sian | :12:04. | :12:11. | |
Lloyd reports. Fred Pring was described as a quiet | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
family man who had to leave the gardening job he loved when his | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
health began to fail. He had a serious heart condition but still | :12:21. | :12:22. | |
enjoyed going out and about. They were good times, although they did | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
not last long enough, because obviously that was the last couple | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
of years of his life. In the early hours of the 21st of March last | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
year, he suffered severe chest pains and his wife called for an | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
ambulance. It was awful watching him in such pain and struggling for | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
breath. And he kept telling me to get them to hurry up, which, you | :12:45. | :12:50. | |
know, it's just sort of not much you can do except ring. And they just | :12:51. | :12:57. | |
didn't come. The inquest heard recordings of four calls Mrs Pring | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
made to the Welsh Ambulance Service. In the first call, the operator told | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
Mrs Pring, we are organising help. Ten minutes later, Mrs Pring sounded | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
very anxious. The operator said, they are coming as quickly as they | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
can. Mr Pring's groans of pain could clearly be heard. His wife said, he | :13:16. | :13:23. | |
is in agony. At 1:38am, Mrs Pring phoned again. He is barely | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
breathing, she said. The operator replied, I am organising help for | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
you. It will be there as soon as it can. At 1:51am she made the final | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
call. It's too late, he's gone, she said. The chief executive of the | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
Ambulance Service told the inquest it had underperformed and promised | :13:42. | :13:44. | |
it is making improvements. He has previously apologised to Mrs Pring. | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
We can't give a comment today because we haven't had the verdict | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
from the coroner. We'll see his report and we will comment on | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
Monday. The Welsh Ambulance Service said because of delays in getting | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
patients out of ambulances and into A units, including this one in | :14:07. | :14:08. | |
Wrexham, they simply did not have enough ambulances to get to Mr Pring | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
on time. Six vehicles were waiting outside the hospital. One suffered | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
almost a five-hour delay. Other crews were on non-disturber bull | :14:19. | :14:25. | |
meal breaks. In Wales, patient transfer times into a and E are the | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
longest in the UK. The Ambulance Service has constantly struggled to | :14:32. | :14:33. | |
meet its target of responding to calls within eight minutes. The | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
coroner will record its findings on Mr Pring's death on Monday. | :14:38. | :14:44. | |
Our top story this evening. As hundreds join the search for the | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
missing three-year-old Mikaeel Kular, police say he may have gone | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
missing following a criminal act. A new manager for the England | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
women's football team. We go behind the scenes at their winter training | :14:54. | :14:54. | |
camp. Later on BBC London. A claim that | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
disabled passengers struggle to access the Tube because of staff | :15:01. | :15:02. | |
shortages. And London's only hope in Europe. We | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
join Saracens in training for their Heineken Cup clash this weekend. | :15:07. | :15:18. | |
Now to the bad weather which has battered the country over recent | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
weeks. The storms have left local councils struggling to repair the | :15:24. | :15:26. | |
damage to roads. They've estimated the bill at ?400 million in England | :15:27. | :15:33. | |
and Wales alone. And there's no let up, it seems. There was more misery | :15:34. | :15:35. | |
for commuters this morning. These drivers in Essex were struggling | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
through flood water. Now the BBC has seen the first major study, by the | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
Environment Agency, of the impact on some of Britain's most important | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
wildlife habitats. 48 sites of special scientific interest have | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
been severely affected. It's thought it's the worst damage ever recorded. | :15:53. | :15:55. | |
Our science editor, David Shukman, explains. | :15:56. | :16:05. | |
Seal pups in a rescue centre, separated from their mother by a | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
violent tidal surge. Now cared for by the RSPCA, these pups are lucky | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
survivors. An unknown number were swept away. Baby otters, find -- | :16:16. | :16:23. | |
found on a road, also believed to be victims of flooding. And on the | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
Norfolk coast, the RSPB filmed one of the many birds that didn't get | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
away. What's emerging is how wildlife has suffered in this winter | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
of storms. This is worse than anything we have ever seen before. | :16:38. | :16:40. | |
This tidal surge was the highest ever recorded in many parts. The | :16:41. | :16:46. | |
impact these wildlife sites is, in some cases, devastating. Up and down | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
the coast, nature reserves have been ruined. Sea water now flows through | :16:52. | :16:57. | |
breaches in the flood defences. This wrecked embankment is just one of | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
countless examples of the damage. Even now, the full extent isn't | :17:02. | :17:07. | |
known. This is one of many places where the sea has just punched a | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
hole right through the defences. Salt water now lies in what used to | :17:12. | :17:17. | |
be a freshwater habitat. There are hundreds of breaches like this | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
around the country, so tough choices lie ahead about where to repair and | :17:23. | :17:29. | |
where to give up. A nature reserve like this depends on freshwater to | :17:30. | :17:35. | |
survive. So where sea water has flooded in, plants, insects and fish | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
that make up the ecosystem are all put at risk. The big worry is what | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
this means for the famous bird life here. Some birds can adapt, but | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
others rely on the food chain provided by freshwater. It's not | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
just about losing some invisible insects. It is about losing the base | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
of a pyramid that includes all the other species as well. Nature has a | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
way of bouncing back, but we will not know for sure just how quickly. | :18:04. | :18:12. | |
Repairs to a broken barrier. This is to guard houses, not wildlife. | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
There's a limited budget, and not everything can be protected. Marie | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
Strong is the County Council for the area and she said that the priority | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
for flood defences are clear. The first priority has to be homes and | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
businesses, because that is people's livelihood. But so does the | :18:32. | :18:38. | |
wildlife. Around here, that has an effect on tourism, so that does has | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
to follow. Wildlife can be resilient, but the challenge this | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
winter has been exceptional, and it's not over yet. | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
President Obama has announced changes to the way the US gathers | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
its intelligence. In a speech in Washington, he said surveillance had | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
helped America repel threats for decades, but there needed to be | :18:58. | :19:00. | |
checks and balances to make sure the liberties of ordinary people were | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
not sacrificed. He said US agents should no longer be able to store | :19:05. | :19:07. | |
details about millions of calls, texts and emails. | :19:08. | :19:17. | |
The bottom line is that people around the world, regardless of | :19:18. | :19:21. | |
their nationality, should know that the United States is not spying on | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
ordinary people who don't threaten our national security. We take their | :19:27. | :19:32. | |
privacy concerns into account in our policies and procedures. This | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
applies to foreign leaders as well. And our North America editor, Mark | :19:37. | :19:38. | |
Mardell, joins me from Washington. This is presumably President Obama | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
trying to draw a line under the concerns about America's spying? | :19:43. | :19:49. | |
Well, he's trying to, but rather than put a lid on it, he's given the | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
pot of vigorous star. He's trying to be balanced and judicious. He's | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
saying the US must try to carry on collecting this huge amount of | :20:00. | :20:03. | |
information for its national-security. There haven't | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
been abuses, he says, but he can see why people are not happy. So he's | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
going to stop the current programme, and replace it by... Well, that's | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
the bit he didn't get to. He's given his Attorney-General 60 days to come | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
up with some fresh ideas. Then it will go to Congress. This whole | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
debate will carry on. In the meantime, he does hope that people | :20:28. | :20:32. | |
will be reassured by his general tone, saying that privacy is | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
important. But we haven't got the actual details yet. | :20:37. | :20:39. | |
Prince Harry is to take up a new role in the army as a staff officer, | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
after completing his current attachment flying attack | :20:43. | :20:44. | |
helicopters. He'll be based at Horse Guards in London. Captain Wales' new | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
responsibilities will include helping to organise major ceremonial | :20:48. | :20:49. | |
events such as state visits and Trooping the Colour. | :20:50. | :20:58. | |
Now to women's football, where England have their first new manager | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
for 15 years, and are hoping for a fresh start. They've played their | :21:03. | :21:05. | |
first match under their new boss, Mark Sampson, drawing 1-1 against | :21:06. | :21:07. | |
Norway in Spain. Our sports correspondent, Natalie Pirks, has | :21:08. | :21:10. | |
been with the squad at their training camp in La Manga. | :21:11. | :21:17. | |
A New Year, a new dawn for England's within. This is the first | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
chance Mark Sampson has had to meet all his new players, to get to know | :21:22. | :21:27. | |
them, to set out his specific vision of how his lionesses should act. | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
With great passion, pride, commitment. These things are | :21:33. | :21:36. | |
non-negotiable. We are at the start of a really exciting journey. We are | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
looking forward to the challenges we know we're going to face. Last | :21:42. | :21:48. | |
summer's European championship was a challenge to far for Hope Powell. | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
For 15 years, she ruled over the women's team, but when they failed | :21:54. | :21:56. | |
to win a single game in the tournament, she was gone. Women's | :21:57. | :22:03. | |
football had moved on, and left England trailing in its wake. The FA | :22:04. | :22:11. | |
have put over ?8 million into women's football, to make sure | :22:12. | :22:14. | |
England are at the level of other nations. The support over in America | :22:15. | :22:28. | |
is on another level. It's a different life. Those girls are | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
number one in the world, and they get great coverage. They are like | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
rock stars. Young girls have these role models out there, and I hope | :22:36. | :22:40. | |
England can get towards that. I hope to help do that. Most of her | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
team-mates must still work and study elsewhere to get -- to make ends | :22:45. | :22:50. | |
meet, even taking time of two travel with England. As the game evolves, | :22:51. | :22:56. | |
that is starting to change. Nice and brave. Let's go! Their training camp | :22:57. | :23:04. | |
ended with a friendly against last year's European finalists. But even | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
as late Norwegian equaliser couldn't stop Sampson leaving Spain happy, | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
happy that the commitment looked in safe hands. | :23:15. | :23:17. | |
A Japanese soldier who refused to surrender after the end of World War | :23:18. | :23:20. | |
Two and spent 29 more years continuing the fight alone has died | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
aged 91. Lieutenant Hiroo Onoda finally accepted the war was over in | :23:25. | :23:27. | |
1974, but only after he was persuaded to come out of the | :23:28. | :23:30. | |
Philippine jungle by his former commanding officer. Rupert | :23:31. | :23:39. | |
Wingfield-Hayes reports from Tokyo. This is the moment, in March 1974, | :23:40. | :23:49. | |
when lieutenancy wrote in odour -- lieutenants Hiroo Onoda finally | :23:50. | :23:52. | |
walked out of the Philippine jungle. 29 years after the end of World War | :23:53. | :23:58. | |
Two. For nearly three decades, he had resisted all attempts to | :23:59. | :24:02. | |
persuade him the war was over. Leaflets were dropped from the air, | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
messages broadcast over megaphones, all to no avail. Finally, his | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
wartime commander flew to the Philippines, walked into the jungle, | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
and ordered Lieutenant Governor odour to -- Lieutenant Onoda to come | :24:17. | :24:24. | |
out of the jungle. He explains why it took him so long. I was ordered | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
to conduct gorilla warfare and not to die. I had to follow orders. In | :24:30. | :24:36. | |
Tokyo, Lieutenant Onoda was met by cheering crowds. At the bottom of | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
the steps, his elderly parents. The last time they'd seen their son he | :24:42. | :24:48. | |
was 22 years old. Now he was 52. The surrender made headlines around the | :24:49. | :24:51. | |
world, and he was welcomed home as a hero. But the Japan he'd returned to | :24:52. | :24:57. | |
had completely changed. The emperor was no longer the god he'd promised | :24:58. | :25:03. | |
to die for, and Tokyo had become a massive metropolis of 20 million | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
people. He didn't like it at all. A year later, he headed to Brazil, | :25:08. | :25:12. | |
where he bought a cattle ranch. But he came back to Japan often, and 90, | :25:13. | :25:19. | |
he was still teaching schoolchildren his secrets of. Lieutenant Onoda was | :25:20. | :25:25. | |
the last relic of a lost age. To some fanatics, and to many more, a | :25:26. | :25:31. | |
hero. Time for a look at the weather. | :25:32. | :25:37. | |
The heavy showers that brought the flooding earlier are fading away, | :25:38. | :25:43. | |
but instead, we are looking at this cloud in the west, and this cloud | :25:44. | :25:48. | |
coming up from northern France to bring some rain overnight. As that | :25:49. | :25:52. | |
cloud moves northwards, we will not get too much rain in the south-east, | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
but as the night goes on, the rain in Wales and the South West will | :25:58. | :26:01. | |
develop more widely and will turn heavy. Ahead of that advancing cloud | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
and rain, the northern half of the UK could see some frost, missed and | :26:06. | :26:13. | |
ice. Rain continues on and off for most of the day in Wales and the | :26:14. | :26:16. | |
South West of England. It will be quite wet in Northern Ireland. The | :26:17. | :26:21. | |
eastern side of England will turn dry in the afternoon. The rain sets | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
in through the afternoon across central and southern parts of | :26:27. | :26:30. | |
Scotland, and some heavy rain at times in Northern Ireland. After | :26:31. | :26:34. | |
some patchy rain moves northwards across the eastern side of England, | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
the afternoon will be dry but rather cloudy. Rain on and off across Wales | :26:40. | :26:43. | |
and the south-west. We could get over an inch of rain, which could | :26:44. | :26:49. | |
lead to some localised flooding. The rain clears away to Northern | :26:50. | :26:52. | |
Ireland, then we will see this belt of rain pushing eastwards overnight, | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
bringing clearer skies for Wales, the west Midlands and the West | :26:58. | :27:02. | |
Country. The rain by Sunday is sitting in the north-east of | :27:03. | :27:08. | |
Scotland. We will see a view sharp showers in Wales, Northern Ireland | :27:09. | :27:11. | |
and the far south-west, but for many, a brighter day. Could well be | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
the best day of the weekend. Saturday, the risk of some heavy | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
rain, particularly in the western side of the UK. Sunday, some | :27:22. | :27:25. | |
sunshine and a few showers out to the west. | :27:26. | :27:31. | |
Just time to bring you up-to-date on our top story, and the continuing | :27:32. | :27:36. | |
search for the missing Edinburgh three roles, Mikaeel Kular. Robert | :27:37. | :27:40. | |
Hall is at the police station where the search is being co-ordinated. | :27:41. | :27:48. | |
On the one hand, you have a search for a missing person. You saw these | :27:49. | :27:52. | |
hundreds of volunteers today, who turned up after an appeal by the | :27:53. | :27:56. | |
police this morning. Perhaps more than the police would have wanted. | :27:57. | :28:01. | |
They spent the day in very difficult conditions, alongside professional | :28:02. | :28:05. | |
teams, searching near Mikaeel Kular's home. Then you have the | :28:06. | :28:11. | |
growing intensity of more resources coming in. The deputy Chief | :28:12. | :28:16. | |
Constable talking tonight about the possibility of criminality. Up until | :28:17. | :28:19. | |
now, they said they had no evidence of a criminal act. They are bringing | :28:20. | :28:25. | |
in more detectives, more uniform search teams. We have a collective | :28:26. | :28:29. | |
effort and will to achieve a breakthrough here, but as yet, | :28:30. | :28:34. | |
despite all that, the news that they want has eluded both the police and | :28:35. | :28:42. | |
Mikaeel Kular's community. That's all | :28:43. | :28:44. |
