That's all from the BBC News at One so it's goodbye from me

:00:00.:00:13.

A manhunt's under way for a dangerous prisoner

:00:14.:00:20.

just a few months into a nine-year sentence for stabbing

:00:21.:00:24.

25-year-old Ralston Dodd knifed his victim three times

:00:25.:00:28.

Our home affairs correspondent, Nick Beake, is here.

:00:29.:00:33.

This is an embarrassing blunder by the courts because Ralston Dodd was

:00:34.:00:45.

on the run for nearly a month after the attack last year. Eventually, he

:00:46.:00:49.

was caught and Blackfriars Crown Court in November, he was sentenced

:00:50.:00:55.

to nine years in prison. The Met Police have described it as an

:00:56.:00:58.

appalling act of violence, the victim nearly died. However, the

:00:59.:01:03.

court apparently recorded the judge's sentence as being nine

:01:04.:01:06.

months, rather than nine years. In line with the way the system works,

:01:07.:01:11.

after serving half of the nine-month sentence, he was apparently

:01:12.:01:16.

released. Now Ralston Dodd was being held at HMP Thamesside in the

:01:17.:01:20.

borough of Greenwich. The Ministry of Justice which runs the courts and

:01:21.:01:25.

prisons says it is urgently investigating. In a statement, it

:01:26.:01:29.

said releases in error are extremely rare but we take any case very

:01:30.:01:34.

seriously, we are urgently investigating so we learn the

:01:35.:01:37.

lessons to prevent it happening again, and they went on to say,

:01:38.:01:41.

public protection is our priority. You mentioned the investigation,

:01:42.:01:46.

what happens now? The police try to find him again? Absolutely. A

:01:47.:01:48.

warrant for his arrest has again been issued. The Met say they

:01:49.:02:03.

want any information to find him. His picture is there, 5'9" tall,

:02:04.:02:06.

medium build, brown eyes. It is not known what he was wearing when he

:02:07.:02:09.

was released. If you look at the way it works, the timeline, he has

:02:10.:02:11.

probably been out for at least ten days. The Met are saying if people

:02:12.:02:15.

spot him, they should call 909. Do not approach him, he is a violent

:02:16.:02:42.

man. The Sun reports the victim has spotted him since he has been out,

:02:43.:02:45.

very much. The family of a murdered schoolboy

:02:49.:02:52.

say his killer showed no remorse as he was found guilty

:02:53.:02:55.

of murder last week. Quamari Serunkuma-Barnes was stabbed

:02:56.:02:57.

in Willesden in January by a 15-year-old with a string

of convictions for If he showed any form of remorse

:03:00.:03:01.

of what he had done, I would still be feeling that,

do you know what, this boy has been let down somewhere

:03:06.:03:07.

along the line, terrible, but he didn't show that, no

:03:08.:03:10.

compassion whatsoever. It would have given us a sense

:03:11.:03:12.

of relief if he was sorry for what he had done, but it doesn't

:03:13.:03:15.

seem like he was sorry, so it makes The RSPCA is urging the public

:03:16.:03:19.

to help find those responsible for dumping a dying dog which had

:03:20.:03:22.

suffered some of the worst in Hertfordshire, emaciated,

:03:23.:03:25.

infected and unable to walk. Her nails were so overgrown,

around 250 make it through the Wimbledon. They have been training

:06:07.:06:10.

for two and a half hours a week since February. The key quality they

:06:11.:06:19.

need to show is concentration. I found they found it quite difficult

:06:20.:06:24.

in training. The training is really rigorous, so we make sure they are

:06:25.:06:28.

focusing purely on what is going on, they are not watching the game,

three quarters are newcomers. Some have even had the honour of not just

working on Wimbledon but on the final itself. I was told on the

morning of the final, it was an amazing feeling. I knew my hard work

had paid off. You obviously pretty good at this. Have you ever made a

mistake? I have made a few mistakes, mistake? I have made a few mistakes,
