The Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams is still in police custody in

:00:09.:00:12.

connection with the murder of a mother of ten in the 1970s.

:00:13.:00:16.

He insists he played no part in the murder of Jean McConville, echoed by

:00:17.:00:18.

Northern Ireland's Deputy First Minister. I have every sympathy for

:00:19.:00:25.

the McConville family. A terrible injustice, a terrible wrong was done

:00:26.:00:29.

to them by the IRA, but Gerry Adams was not involved in that. IRA men

:00:30.:00:32.

dragged Mrs McConville from her home. Even now her children are too

:00:33.:00:36.

frightened of reprisals to name names. The IRA wouldn't take this

:00:37.:00:43.

lightly. The IRA would, I would say, probably kill one of the members of

:00:44.:00:49.

my family. We'll be looking at what repercussions the arrest of Gerry

:00:50.:00:52.

Adams could have across Northern Ireland.

:00:53.:01:02.

:01:49.:02:01.

Good evening and welcome to the BBC News At Six. The Sinn Fein leader

:02:02.:02:07.

Gerry Adams is still in police custody. He was arrested last night

:02:08.:02:12.

and is being questioned in connection with the murder of a

:02:13.:02:15.

mother of ten, Jean McConville, in Northern Ireland back in 1972. Mr

:02:16.:02:20.

Adams insists he's innocent. One of Mrs McConville's sons, who saw his

:02:21.:02:23.

mother dragged away when he was 11, says he knows who took his mother

:02:24.:02:27.

but even now is too frightened of reprisals to name names. Our Ireland

:02:28.:02:30.

correspondent Chris Buckler is at Antrim police station where Gerry

:02:31.:02:35.

Adams is being held. Is there any indication as to how much longer he

:02:36.:02:40.

will be held? Well, certainly the police can hold him until eight

:02:41.:02:43.

o'clock this evening and after that they have the right to extend the

:02:44.:02:47.

detention for another 24 hours, and they could go to court for more

:02:48.:02:52.

time. Gerry Adams is of course the leader of one of Northern Ireland's

:02:53.:02:56.

biggest parties. He has been elected representative on both sides of the

:02:57.:02:59.

border and he has been a key figure in the Northern Ireland peace

:03:00.:03:03.

process. He arrived here at eight o'clock last night to be questioned

:03:04.:03:07.

about the notorious murder of a mother. Jean McConville became known

:03:08.:03:10.

as one of the mother. Jean McConville became known

:03:11.:03:14.

abducted, murdered and buried in secret by Republican paramilitaries.

:03:15.:03:24.

The IRA viewed Jean McConville's killing as a punishment for passing

:03:25.:03:27.

on information to British soldiers during one of the worst years of the

:03:28.:03:31.

Troubles. The claim was false but that didn't matter. The widowed

:03:32.:03:36.

mother of ten was dragged out of her home in front of her children. When

:03:37.:03:41.

do you think you will see mummy again? I don't know. They may have

:03:42.:03:45.

witnessed who took her away but they say they have never told the police

:03:46.:03:56.

because of fear. There could be repercussions. The IRA would not

:03:57.:04:03.

take this lightly. The IRA would, I would say, probably kill a member of

:04:04.:04:07.

my family. Gerry Adams has always denied being a member of the IRA or

:04:08.:04:12.

any involvement in Jean McConville's murder. He is the Sinn

:04:13.:04:17.

Fein President, an Irish MP, often seen among statesmen. But last night

:04:18.:04:20.

he presented himself at Antrim police station, where he was

:04:21.:04:24.

arrested, and since then he is being questioned about the killing. The

:04:25.:04:29.

allegations are based in part on tapes collected from an oral history

:04:30.:04:33.

of the Troubles. One of the people interviewed was the late IRA

:04:34.:04:37.

commander Brendan Hughes, who claimed his former friend, Gerry

:04:38.:04:42.

Adams, was involved. This woman was taken away and executed. Jean

:04:43.:04:50.

McConville. There was only one man who would give the order for that

:04:51.:04:54.

woman to be executed. That man is now the head of Sinn Fein. However,

:04:55.:05:00.

the timing of Gerry Adams's arrest, ahead of elections on both sides of

:05:01.:05:03.

the Irish border, has angered Sinn Fein. I view his arrest as a

:05:04.:05:12.

deliberate attempt to influence the outcome of the elections that are

:05:13.:05:15.

due to take place in three weeks' time. But others say this

:05:16.:05:21.

investigation is about people, not politics. It is only 11 years since

:05:22.:05:25.

Jean McConville's remains were found on a beach in County Louth after

:05:26.:05:30.

several searches. Her children had to wait decades to bury her. We want

:05:31.:05:35.

to have the certainty that everyone who has been a victim of IRA or any

:05:36.:05:44.

other terrorism has the ongoing hope that justice might be done. Some of

:05:45.:05:50.

those abducted and killed have never been found. Their bodies are

:05:51.:05:53.

believed to be buried in bog and dirt, victims of violence and part

:05:54.:05:57.

of a history that continues to haunt. There were extremely strong

:05:58.:06:04.

words from Sinn Fein today. Martin McGuinness talked about the dark

:06:05.:06:08.

side of Northern Ireland's policing being responsible for Gerry Adams's

:06:09.:06:13.

arrest. However the whole process has been defended by the Prime

:06:14.:06:17.

Minister, who says there has been no political interference. All eyes are

:06:18.:06:21.

now on the police data behind me as the clock ticks down on the first 24

:06:22.:06:26.

hours of Gerry Adams's arrest. -- police station.

:06:27.:06:31.

An inquest has heard how Peaches Geldof used heroin prior to her

:06:32.:06:35.

death and that levels of the drug found in her body were likely to

:06:36.:06:38.

have played a role in her death. The body of the 25-year-old

:06:39.:06:41.

mother-of-two was found at her home in Kent last month. This report from

:06:42.:06:43.

Duncan Kennedy contains flash photography. No way I am going to

:06:44.:06:50.

beat this! This was one of the last public appearances for Peaches

:06:51.:06:53.

Geldof, three weeks before her death. The inquest was told in the

:06:54.:06:57.

days before she died, everything seemed normal. She was making plans

:06:58.:07:03.

for the future. Detective chief inspector Paul Fotheringham told the

:07:04.:07:07.

hearing she had called friends just hours before her death, and that her

:07:08.:07:11.

body was found the following day by her husband Tom slumped on a bed.

:07:12.:07:16.

The chief inspector then went on to tell the inquest here that Peaches

:07:17.:07:20.

Geldof had recently used heroin, and that the levels found in her body

:07:21.:07:24.

were likely to have played a role in her death. The presence of heroin

:07:25.:07:28.

parallels the death of her mother Paula Yates, who died from an

:07:29.:07:32.

accidental heroin overdose 14 years ago. There has been huge

:07:33.:07:37.

interest... Peaches was thought to have used drugs before but recently

:07:38.:07:42.

seems to have turned their backs on them to pursue motherhood to her two

:07:43.:07:47.

children. You know, 16 years old, and now I am 25, and my children

:07:48.:07:51.

really are my raison d'etre. They are so good and sweet. It is really

:07:52.:07:57.

fun being a mother. Police say their investigation into what happened at

:07:58.:08:00.

her family home will now continue with the full inquest due in July.

:08:01.:08:09.

Duncan Kennedy, BBC News, in Kent. A care home in Essex at the centre

:08:10.:08:13.

of abuse allegations has sacked a further six members of staff. An

:08:14.:08:17.

investigation by the BBC panorama programme last night found residents

:08:18.:08:24.

at the Old Deanery care home had been taunted, humiliated and in one

:08:25.:08:28.

case slapped. Another care assistant was dismissed earlier this week.

:08:29.:08:32.

What can you tell us about this, Alison? We know from a statement by

:08:33.:08:37.

the home that after Panoramic gave the details of the allegation some

:08:38.:08:43.

weeks ago, that it immediately suspended eight staff and also

:08:44.:08:48.

started an independent investigation into the allegations. Earlier this

:08:49.:08:52.

week, one member of staff was dismissed. Following the broadcast

:08:53.:09:00.

last night of Panorama, with undercover footage of some residents

:09:01.:09:04.

being taunted, goaded and roughly handled, a further six staff have

:09:05.:09:10.

been dismissed. There is one other person whose case is apparently

:09:11.:09:14.

being urgently reviewed. It is important to say that the home has

:09:15.:09:19.

apologised unreservedly and it says that these allegations, the case

:09:20.:09:24.

being talked about, they involve just a small number of staff at the

:09:25.:09:33.

home. A barrister and part-time judge has

:09:34.:09:36.

been found guilty of lying to police investigating the Chris Huhne

:09:37.:09:38.

speeding points scandal. Constance Briscoe was accused of perverting

:09:39.:09:41.

the course of justice in connection with the investigation into how

:09:42.:09:43.

Cabinet minister Mr Huhne passed speeding points to his then-wife

:09:44.:09:46.

Vicky Pryce a decade ago. The judge warned Ms Briscoe she is likely to

:09:47.:09:51.

be given a prison sentence. A judge has halted a ?5 million

:09:52.:09:54.

fraud trial after claims Government cuts to legal aid are undermining

:09:55.:10:00.

the legal system. The Prime Minister's brother, a QC, argued

:10:01.:10:02.

that the reduction in barristers' fees meant his clients could not be

:10:03.:10:05.

adequately represented. Judge Anthony Leonard said there was no

:10:06.:10:07.

realistic prospect of the defendants getting a fair trial. Our home

:10:08.:10:10.

affairs correspondent Tom Symonds has more.

:10:11.:10:18.

It is crunch point in the confrontation between barristers and

:10:19.:10:22.

the Government. Lawyers who have argued cutting spending on legal aid

:10:23.:10:27.

will damage justice are today saying we told you so. Ironically, the

:10:28.:10:31.

barrister who argued this case could not go ahead is the Prime

:10:32.:10:35.

Minister's brother. Alex Cameron said the five defendants would not

:10:36.:10:38.

get a fair trial because no one would represent them for the money

:10:39.:10:42.

available. His honour Judge Leonard agreed. To allow the state an

:10:43.:10:46.

adjournment, he said, to put right its failure to provide the necessary

:10:47.:10:51.

resources to permit a fair trial to take place, now amounts to a

:10:52.:10:56.

violation of the process of this court. The implications are very

:10:57.:11:01.

severe. This very costly prosecution has been stopped in its tracks.

:11:02.:11:06.

There are another eight very similar cases that are also likely possibly

:11:07.:11:09.

to be stopped in their tracks as well. The defendants were accused of

:11:10.:11:14.

cold calling dozens of people, including pensioners, to sell them

:11:15.:11:18.

land which might get planning permission. The prosecution claims

:11:19.:11:22.

that was never going to happen because the plots were in the green

:11:23.:11:27.

belt or areas of natural beauty. It was going to be a complicated case,

:11:28.:11:34.

the evidence running 246,000 pages. It has been designated a high cost

:11:35.:11:40.

case. It was funded by legal aid, legal aid which the Government wants

:11:41.:11:45.

to cut by nearly one third. Legal aid in England and Wales costs ?1.5

:11:46.:11:50.

billion per year. But the Government said even after reducing the amount

:11:51.:11:55.

available, a senior barrister taking on this case would earn ?100,000.

:11:56.:12:01.

But a trawl of 70 legal chambers fails to find a single barrister

:12:02.:12:07.

willing to take the job. In effect, they are boycotting these complex

:12:08.:12:11.

expensive cases in protest at the legal aid cuts. Prosecutors will be

:12:12.:12:15.

back at court tomorrow to say if they will appeal against today's

:12:16.:12:21.

decision. Tom Symons, BBC News, Southwark Crown Court.

Our top story this evening: The Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams remains in

:12:28.:12:30.

police custody after being held in connection with a murder in Belfast

:12:31.:12:33.

in the 1970s. Coming up: I will be reporting live

:12:34.:12:38.

from Bedfordshire with a sneak preview of the hidden collection

:12:39.:12:39.

that was preview of the hidden collection

:12:40.:12:46.

will soon be open to view. On BBC London: Assessing the damage

:12:47.:12:51.

to flood defences in Surrey four months after the River Mole burst

:12:52.:12:56.

its banks. Plus one of the famous faces of Britpop goes solo, singing

:12:57.:12:57.

about his East London haunts. It will be seven years ago this

:12:58.:13:12.

weekend that three-year-old Madeleine McCann disappeared while

:13:13.:13:15.

on holiday with her family in the Algarve. You evidence has emerged in

:13:16.:13:20.

recent weeks of a string of sexual assaults on children in the area,

:13:21.:13:24.

including one in Praia da Luz from where Madeleine was taken. It

:13:25.:13:29.

follows a three-year investigation by a dedicated team from Scotland

:13:30.:13:32.

Yard. Portuguese police have now reopened the case. Earlier today

:13:33.:13:38.

Kate and Gerry McCann told me about their frustration that Portuguese

:13:39.:13:41.

detectives will not take part in a joint investigation with their

:13:42.:13:45.

British counterparts. To us it makes sense that the two police forces

:13:46.:13:49.

should work together. To have a more streamlined approach, to avoid

:13:50.:13:53.

duplication, and basically to progress investigation at a faster

:13:54.:13:55.

pace. The concern that progress investigation at a faster

:13:56.:14:00.

think that the Metropolitan Police has got, is that at the minute there

:14:01.:14:03.

is almost a parallel investigation going on, which doesn't make sense.

:14:04.:14:10.

Would you ever go back? I remember going to Praia da Luz along with so

:14:11.:14:15.

much of the media around the time when Madeleine was first taken. I do

:14:16.:14:19.

go back. I haven't been since last April but I do go back for personal

:14:20.:14:25.

reasons. I guess for you it is a chance to be close to her, is that

:14:26.:14:31.

how you feel? Yes, it is the last place we were with Madeleine. I

:14:32.:14:35.

still walk those streets and I guess try and look for answers or... It

:14:36.:14:44.

helps me, most of the time. It is the seventh anniversary on Saturday.

:14:45.:14:51.

How will you mark that? Usually it is very quietly. We usually have a

:14:52.:14:54.

small gathering in the village which we have done for the last so many

:14:55.:15:00.

years. We have always said it is Madeleine's birthday which follows

:15:01.:15:04.

soon after really that will be the more difficult time. When she would

:15:05.:15:09.

have been 11? Yes. How do you mark that for a child that is not there?

:15:10.:15:15.

It is really hard. She is not there. You should celebrate. It is by far

:15:16.:15:18.

the toughest day of our year, I think. She is due to start secondary

:15:19.:15:23.

school in September, which is just... You know. It is a long time.

:15:24.:15:34.

what is your best hope of where Madeline is now? I suppose the

:15:35.:15:39.

scenario is that Madeline was taken by somebody who wanted a child. She

:15:40.:15:46.

has been loved and cared for. That, I think, is the best scenario. Of

:15:47.:15:52.

course, there are many others. If Madeline is alive, if she could hear

:15:53.:15:59.

you, what would you say to her? We love you, Madeline. We miss you

:16:00.:16:04.

every day, as we did that very first day. And we are waiting for you. We

:16:05.:16:08.

are never going to give up. We will do whatever we can to find you. Kate

:16:09.:16:16.

and Gerry McCann. A 15-year-old boy has been remanded in custody charged

:16:17.:16:20.

with the murder of Anne Maguire, the teacher stabbed to death at Corpus

:16:21.:16:27.

Christi Catholic College in Leeds. Mrs Maguire's family were in court.

:16:28.:16:36.

Anne Maguire's family have described the tributes to her as overwhelming

:16:37.:16:40.

and a source of great comfort. This afternoon, they came to see the

:16:41.:16:45.

sentiments for themselves. Don Maguire walked the length of the

:16:46.:16:48.

flowers with his daughters, Emma and Kelly. Reading one message, he

:16:49.:16:56.

nodded and said, that is true. Today they released a statement to their

:16:57.:17:00.

beautiful shining light and bright and their world. They talked of a

:17:01.:17:04.

loving wife, the best mother, and added that this horrific happening

:17:05.:17:09.

has robbed them of this and so much more. Earlier today, they were

:17:10.:17:15.

ushered into Leeds youth court by detectives, where the child accused

:17:16.:17:19.

of murdering the 61-year-old teacher made his first court appearance. The

:17:20.:17:23.

Maguire sat a few feet away from the schoolboy's parents. He nodded at

:17:24.:17:28.

his mum and dad as he was brought into court. He said, yeah, four

:17:29.:17:33.

times to confirm his name and address. And that he understood the

:17:34.:17:39.

charge of murder. Throughout the hearing, Mr Maguire 's stared at the

:17:40.:17:42.

teenager intently while holding hands with his daughters. -- Mr

:17:43.:17:49.

Maguire. This afternoon, a priest gave Mr Maguire is some comfort

:17:50.:17:52.

through what this family have called dark times. Ed Miliband has promised

:17:53.:17:59.

to introduce limits to rent rises for private sector tenants in

:18:00.:18:01.

England if Labour win the next general election. Launching his

:18:02.:18:07.

party campaign for the local and European elections, the Labour

:18:08.:18:12.

leader said tenants faced terrible insecurity. His plans have been

:18:13.:18:15.

criticised for introducing an arbitrary Cap on rents. Nick

:18:16.:18:22.

Robinson reports. When the landlord put up your rent, it is yet another

:18:23.:18:25.

pressure on your finances. A pressure felt by the 4 million

:18:26.:18:30.

families whose homes are owned by private landlords. Today, with a

:18:31.:18:38.

fanfare for the start of labour's election campaign, Ed Miliband said

:18:39.:18:41.

he would intervene to limit the pain. Generation rent is a

:18:42.:18:47.

generation left ignored for too long. She was Prime Minister, he

:18:48.:18:54.

said he would change the law. It would be cheaper to rent a home. As

:18:55.:18:58.

we banned charges to tenants by letting agents. There would be

:18:59.:19:04.

greater security. We would tackle the cost of living prices by putting

:19:05.:19:09.

a ceiling on excessive rent rises. Labour-saving would set that ceiling

:19:10.:19:15.

drawing on work being done by the Royal institution of chartered

:19:16.:19:19.

surveyors. But the institution said today they did not recommend the

:19:20.:19:22.

Government introduce a ceiling on rent increases. Arbitrary caps are

:19:23.:19:28.

not a solution. Housing charities have long condemned the broken

:19:29.:19:32.

rental market. What landlords say this is a war on them. This is the

:19:33.:19:39.

nanny state going too far. You cannot buck the market. You are

:19:40.:19:43.

trying to stifle free enterprise and will not work. Next door to the

:19:44.:19:51.

Labour election launch, some are generation rent, those who cannot

:19:52.:19:54.

even dream of buying a house and find renting not much more

:19:55.:19:59.

affordable. Do you rent? Yellow macro no. I cannot afford it. I live

:20:00.:20:05.

with my parents. Everything, really. Far too expensive. Most people do

:20:06.:20:12.

not really envisage wanting to stay in rental accommodation for the rest

:20:13.:20:16.

of their lives. They are finding it harder to make that switch into

:20:17.:20:23.

buying their own home. All agree that building houses like they once

:20:24.:20:27.

used to is what is really needed. But Labour insist they are not

:20:28.:20:33.

reviving another old idea, state imposed rent controls, which

:20:34.:20:35.

Margaret Thatcher abolished more than 30 years ago. There is a

:20:36.:20:40.

connection between what Ed Miliband says is needed to control rents, and

:20:41.:20:43.

the promise of an energy price freeze. Ed Miliband believes that

:20:44.:20:49.

you need to regulate markets, change the rules, change the law even. That

:20:50.:20:55.

is if you are to tackle the cost of living crisis. He told me the Tories

:20:56.:20:58.

were kidding themselves to think that growth alone would solve the

:20:59.:21:04.

problem of growing inequality. I relish this debate. This is a deep

:21:05.:21:08.

question for our country. It is a generational question. He has got no

:21:09.:21:13.

plans to control the price of a portion of chips, but this is a plan

:21:14.:21:17.
