year-old girl is on her way home to the UK, more than three years after | :00:54. | :00:59. | |
she was abducted by her father and taken to Pakistan. Atiya Anjum- | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
Wilkinson was last seen when she was taken from her home in Greater | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
Manchester in 2009. Her father is serving a prison sentence for | :01:07. | :01:13. | |
refusing to reveal his daughter's whereabouts. Our correspondent Ed | :01:13. | :01:19. | |
Thomas is at Manchester Airport now. When is she due here? She will be | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
due here later tonight. We are told the flight from Pakistan has been | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
delayed. It should get in around 7.30pm but still this is a mother | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
who has never given up her campaign to try to be reunited with her | :01:32. | :01:39. | |
daughter. Today she was told that she was being held with her | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
father's extended family and soon the most cruellest of waits will be | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
over. Atiya Anjum-Wilkinson was three | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
when she was abducted by her father and left in Pakistan. Until now her | :01:50. | :01:56. | |
mother had no proof her daughter was alive. Just a text message from | :01:56. | :02:02. | |
Razwan Ali Anjum, the child's father. He sent me a message to say | :02:02. | :02:09. | |
that I was never going to see Atiya again, basically laughing in the | :02:09. | :02:15. | |
text message. She was taken in 2009, a day before her third birthday. | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
Her father said he was taking her to Southport. Instead, they boarded | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
a plane to Pakistan. She recently made an emotional appeal for | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
information. Today, she was told her six-year-old is safe and on her | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
way home. Police released this image in November of the way the | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
six-year-old might look now. It's believed the authorities in | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
Pakistan used this to help find her. The children's charity Reunite says | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
despite today's news it's still a delicate situation. For the mother | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
it would have been extremely difficult, extremely painful. I | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
think the worst times really are at night when you are thinking about | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
your child and don't know if they're hurt, calling out for you. | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
You just can't be there with them. For the mother for three years, | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
extremely hurtful. A mother has remembered her constantly, even | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
buying birthday presents for her missing daughter. The waiting will | :03:06. | :03:14. | |
soon be over. Police say Atiya is on her way home on a flight to | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
arrive at Manchester. She was due to land at 5.00pm, that's been put | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
back to around 7.00pm this evening. It will be a delicate situation. We | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
don't know if she can speak English. We don't know what memories this | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
six-year-old girl has of living here in Manchester. I suppose those | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
are questions for another day. Today is about a mother being | :03:34. | :03:41. | |
reunited with her daughter. Thank you very much. | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
Details of Lady Thatcher's shock at the Argentine attack on the | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
Falkland Islands in 1982, and her determination to expel the invaders, | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
are revealed in once-secret documents made public today. The | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
papers show that she'd had no idea Argentina would try to seize the | :03:52. | :03:59. | |
islands by force, as Peter Biles reports. | :03:59. | :04:05. | |
April 2nd, 1982, Argentine forces came ashore in the Falklands and | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
within hours the capital Stanley was under their control. Later, | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
giving evidence in private to an official inquiry, Margaret Thatcher | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
said she had not thought an invasion was likely until two days | :04:17. | :04:27. | |
:04:27. | :04:36. | ||
On March 31st 1982 Margaret Thatcher saw the raw raw | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
intelligence that suggested an invasion of the Falklands was | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
imminent. Later she told the inquiry: It was | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
the worst, I think, moment of my life. | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
Because it was then she realised just how serious this was. She went | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
on to write, that night no one could tell me whether we could | :04:54. | :05:00. | |
retake the Falklands. No one, we did not know. We did not know. | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
The transcript of Mrs Thatcher's evidence to the inquiry is one of | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
the most powerful pieces of paper I can remember being declassified | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
here in the archives. For a number of reasons. One is, it's three | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
months roughly speaking after the end of the war, so it's immensely | :05:14. | :05:22. | |
vivid. It's still coarsing through her veins. The files show Mrs | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
Thatcher applied strong pressure on the President of France to prevent | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
the delivery of missiles to Peru. She feared the weapons would end up | :05:32. | :05:42. | |
:05:42. | :05:56. | ||
in Argentina. In a confidential I have just heard the white flag is | :05:56. | :06:02. | |
flying over Stanley! On June 14th, 15,000 Argentine troops surrendered. | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
Initially Margaret Thatcher and her Ministers had not foreseen the | :06:05. | :06:11. | |
Argentine invasion of the Falklands. But the papers here in the archives | :06:11. | :06:17. | |
reveal that 30 years ago Argentina was also taken by surprise. They | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
had not thought British forces would sail 8,000 miles and defend a | :06:22. | :06:30. | |
population of 1,800. Letters exchanged by Jimmy Savile | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
and Lady Thatcher in the 1980s have also been made public. The | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
correspondence, deals mainly with the work of the DJ for charity. | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
David Sillito is here now. What is in these letters? If these had come | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
out a year ago it would have been, well, who would have paid attention | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
to it? Suddenly we see because it's Jimmy Savile, the level of | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
connection between him, a DJ, a charity fundraiser, and the Prime | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
Minister, meetings at Downing Street, the letters, phone calls, | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
messages from civil servants asking Margaret Thatcher just what exactly | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
is it you have promised over lunch? Have you promised to go on Jim'll | :07:05. | :07:11. | |
Fix It? The word no is written on that note. Also we see Jimmy | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
Savile's handwriten letters and twoupb Margaret Thatcher -- and one | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
to Margaret Thatcher. Phrases we wouldn't have paid attention to a | :07:17. | :07:23. | |
year ago take on a new context when he talks about talking to the girl | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
patients at a hospital, how they were all pretending to be jealous | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
because of his meetings with Margaret Thatcher, the paralysed | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
lads and he signs off saying, they all love you and he adds himself, | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
me, too. So there was obviously a closeness and a relationship and | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
it's a glimpse, especially given that not all of this material has | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
been released, some of it will be still secret for another ten years. | :07:45. | :07:52. | |
Thank you. Two girls, aged seven and ten, have | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
died after the car they were travelling in, crashed in | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
Cambridgeshire. The accident happened on the A47 near Wisbeech | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
last night. Two adults and another child, who were in the same car, | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
are being treated in hospital, although their injuries are not | :08:03. | :08:10. | |
believed to be serious. A new campaign to try to get | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
smokers to quit has been launched today in England. The Department of | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
Health says just 15 cigarettes can cause cells to mutate and lead to | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
cancerous tumours. Health officials say the campaign is in response to | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
figures which show that a third of smokers think the health risks of | :08:23. | :08:24. | |
smoking are greatly exaggerated. Our health correspondent Dominic | :08:25. | :08:34. | |
Hughes has the details. When you smoke, the chemicals you | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
inhale cause mutations in your body. Mutations are how cancer starts. | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
This television ad is designed to show that every cigarette is | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
harmful. It's aimed at those who think the dangers associated with | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
smoking are he canage rated. exaggerated. We watch to catch all | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
smokers, particularly the young who won't have seen the hard-hitting | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
campaigns before because they don't understand what damage is happening | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
in their bodies and what the risks are. If we look at England around | :09:04. | :09:11. | |
one in five people over the age of 16 are smokers. Last year more than | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
800,000 people accessed services like this in order to try and give | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
up. After four weeks half of them had succeeded. But half of them had | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
failed. Giving up smoking can be a real challenge. | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
But stop smoking services do have their successes. Ten months ago, | :09:26. | :09:32. | |
Paul did manage to give up after smoking for 32 years. It's a sense | :09:32. | :09:40. | |
of achievement. You think that's it, you are done? Yeah. It can't get | :09:40. | :09:46. | |
any harder than the last time. Doctors say half of all smokers die | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
from smoking-related diseases. This latest campaign will be judged on | :09:49. | :09:58. | |
how many people can be persuaded to stop for good. | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
Cases of the winter vomiting bug Norovirus in England and Wales have | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
risen to over a million. The latest figures have been released and our | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
health correspondent is here. What do the figures show? It's sadly it | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
suggests a lot of families might have had a miserable Christmas with | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
this vomiting bug. In the last week, there have been around 3,500 | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
confirmed cases, those are the ones that are tested in the lab. For | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
every single one of those it's thought there are around 288 | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
further people suffering at home quietly on their own which takes us | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
to the running total of more than a million. Cases are running higher | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
than as usual at this time of year. This is peaking slightly earlier. | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
We don't know whether or not this is as bad as it's going to get or | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
if it will improve slightly over the next few weeks. But if you are | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
at home and suffering, the advice is to rest, drink lots of fluids | :10:48. | :10:57. | |
and keep everything clean, especially your hands. Thank you. | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
A new witness protection service is being set up to improve support for | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
people whose lives are at risk after giving evidence in criminal | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
trials. About 3,000 people are currently living with new | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
identities in different parts of the UK but there's been criticism | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
that the quality of support is patchy. Here's our home affairs | :11:11. | :11:17. | |
correspondent Matt Prodger. Being a a witness in a trial can be | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
a fearful experience but it's usually the only way to put | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
dangerous criminals in prison. Paul, not his real name, turned | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
supergrass after he confessed to being the inside man on a major | :11:28. | :11:33. | |
robbery. Giving evidence against his co-conspirators meant leaving | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
behind his home and family and getting a new identity. My family I | :11:37. | :11:43. | |
don't see them at all, in the last five years I have probably seen | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
them twice. I have to start again under false pretenses without the | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
support of family and and friends. There are 600 cases where | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
individuals or entire families have been relocated. Police officers say | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
the number's growing at a faster rate but last year more than a | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
quarter of collapsed prosecutions were due to reluctance to give | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
evidence. Witnesses are unsung heros. They are our champions of | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
justice. We cannot do it without them. I would urge them, please be | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
brave, please come forward. If you do, we will protect you. The new | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
service will introduce national standards, better co-ordination and | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
intelligence-sharing. But most of all, it's meant to reassure those | :12:22. | :12:31. | |
who fear that giving evidence is too much of a risk. | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
Police in Australia say the two radio presenters involved in a hoax | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
call to the London hospital where the Duchess of Cambridge was being | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
treated are unlikely to face prosecution. A senior officer from | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
New South Wales says Scotland Yard haven't asked him to interview the | :12:42. | :12:48. | |
DJs, who posed as the Queen and Prince Charles. The American | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
military commander most closely associated with the first Gulf war, | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
Norman Schwarzkopf, has died. He was 78. Known as Stormin' Norman, | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
the General led troops from more than 30 countries to end Iraq's | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
occupation of Kuwait in 1991. Richard Galpin looks back at his | :13:03. | :13:12. | |
life. 1991, the first Gulf War and | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
coalition forces, led by the United States, pound the Iraqi military | :13:16. | :13:22. | |
which had occupied Kuwait. Victory was swift. Iraqi troops either | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
captured, killed or forced to flee from Kuwait. | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
It was a defining moment for General Norman Schwarzkopf, the man | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
who had commanded the coalition of more than 30 countries in Operation | :13:36. | :13:43. | |
Desert Storm. Despite the fact that you are vastly outnumbered, you | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
were determined to show a dictator that they just can't get away with | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
bullying their neighbours and taking what they want because they | :13:52. | :13:58. | |
think they're so tough. Is that why there is little opposition? We are | :13:58. | :14:04. | |
not going underneath, any other way... Nicknamed Stormin' Norman, | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
had become a household name. His forthright news conferences during | :14:08. | :14:13. | |
the conflict watched around the world. | :14:13. | :14:19. | |
And when he finally arrived back in the United States he received a | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
hero's welcome. It's a great day to be a soldier and it's a great day | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
to be an American. Thank you very much. | :14:29. | :14:34. | |
For him the victory in the Gulf War was the pinnacle of a long military | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
career. Decades earlier, he had been a much decorated combat | :14:38. | :14:45. | |
soldier in Vietnam. But soon after retiring he was diagnosed with | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
cancer. He was treated and then campaigned to raise awareness of | :14:49. | :14:53. |
