good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. police divers are searching a reservoir in southern portugal this lunchtime as part of an investigation into the disappearance of madeleine mccann. the reservoir is about 30 miles from praia da luz, the town where the mccann family was on holiday when madeleine went missing in 2007, shortly before her fourth birthday. daniel sandford has this report. after yesterday's preparations, the renewed search in the madeline mccann case began in earnest today. the search was being helped by a rigid whole inflatable boat on the reservoir, but the main focus was on the land, on a campsite. the search is being coordinated by the portuguesejudiciary police, the request of german prosecutors. a handful of british officers are also at the scene. a diving team's

vehicle is present at the site, but we have not seen divers the water. it is 16 years since madeline mccann vanished from a holiday apartment, just a few days before her fourth birthday. it became one of the most infamous missing persons cases. madeline's parents have never given up madeline's parents have never given up hope of finding her alive. earlier this month on the 16th anniversary of her disappearance, they wrote, the police investigation continues and we await a breakthrough. this latest investigation is centred on a suspect called christian brueckner, currently serving a prison sentence in germany for a rape in portugal in 2005. he's never been charged over madeline mccann�*s disappearance and has denied any involvement, but the german state prosecutor said there was growing evidence connecting him to the case, including mobile phone records. he is believed to have been a regular visitor at the site being searched today. the former head of the child exploitation and 0nline

protection centre, jim gamble, involved in the original madeline mccann investigation, says the search could be significant. i mccann investigation, says the search could be significant. i think it is reasonable _ search could be significant. i think it is reasonable to _ search could be significant. i think it is reasonable to be _ search could be significant. i think it is reasonable to be hopeful, - it is reasonable to be hopeful, twofold, one that the german police are continuing at a pace and are not taking off the pressure, they are continuing to invest resources. number two, at some stage there has got to be a breakthrough in this case. a ., �*, ., , case. madeleine mccann's vanished from her room _ case. madeleine mccann's vanished from her room in _ case. madeleine mccann's vanished from her room in praia _ case. madeleine mccann's vanished from her room in praia de _ case. madeleine mccann's vanished from her room in praia de luz- case. madeleine mccann's vanished from her room in praia de luz in - from her room in praia de luz in 2007, as her parents were in a restaurant if you yards away. despite months of extensive searching, no trace was found. in 2008, a private search of the reservoir, funded by a portuguese lawyer, found nothing of relevance to the case. it is here that police are searching again. the surrounding area of the arade dam is about 50 kilometres from where the family was staying. the search is expected to take at least three days. our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford joins us

from near the reservoir. it's been interesting, the german prosecutors have said they are not going to give details of exactly what they are doing in order to protect the integrity of the case. but just watching the protect the integrity of the case. butjust watching the activity today, it is quite clear that it is focused on this one promontory at the moment, which has a car park on it and it is sticking out into this quite a pretty reservoir, just north of the algarve coast. 0n quite a pretty reservoir, just north of the algarve coast. on that, there is normally a car park. but it is used an impromptu campsite, and there is quite a lot of reporting that christian brueckner used to use that christian brueckner used to use that as a campsite in his camper van, and it was a place that he regularly went. what seems to be the focus is a place where christian brueckner often used to stay with his camper van. what we've seen is german and portuguese police going around that promontory, going down with dogs, and we have seen the rigid whole inflatable boat, and

looking across from the other side of the reservoir we have seen quite intensive searching, officers with poles, with what looked like possibly spades, officers in white suits, forensic style suits, and they seem to be gathering earth into bags. quite an intensive operation going on, that side of the promontory, away from where many of the media are. so, that seems to be the media are. so, that seems to be the focus today. we have been told that it possible is that divers will be used, and we did see a diver team, but we have not seen them entering the water. we have seen a van clearly used by a diving team. what seems to be going on at the moment is the search of the land, of an impromptu campsite which was used by the main suspect in the case. it's all to try and solve that mystery, what happens to madeline mackay when she vanished from that apartment in praia do lose, 16 years ago? no one is promising this will

give the answers, but it does seem to be a very concerted effort to find some clues. —— madeline mccann. the leader of cardiff council has appealed for calm after two teenage boys died in a traffic accident last night. riot police with dogs were called in to deal with what the police described as large scale disorder in the ely area of the city. objects, including paving slabs, were thrown at officers and cars were set alight. downing street has called the scenes �*appalling and completely unacceptable'. 0ur wales correspondent tomos morgan has the latest. oh, no, no, no, no, no. a part of cardiff was in chaos last night. cars set on fire and an angry crowd armed with fireworks, paving stones and debris as missiles, aimed at the police. in riot gear, they forced the mob back as they approached then here in ely on the west side of cardiff, an area which is one of the most deprived in wales.

this morning, a bonfire was still smoking in the middle of the road when we arrived. around it, devastation and ruin clear to see. rubble, bits of wood and those fireworks were littered across stanway road, and also around the corner, another burned out vehicle turned upside down, presumably another one of the local residents' cars, smashed in the violence. residents say those that caused this damage don't actually live on this street and that people living here are shocked and angry that this has happened right outside their doors. why take it out, you know, on people in the street? why run amok, you know? itjust doesn't make sense. i just... you know, i despair. this street is one of the best streets. the people, we are all so close as neighbours, and this has happened. how things turned violent

is still being confirmed. but, at around 6pm yesterday, two teenagers died after a road collision on a different street nearby. the police say they were not involved in the incident and arrived after the accident. it has been suggested by south wales' police and crime commissioner that incorrect rumours on social media about the authorities' involvement in the car chase may have fuelled some to start what turned into a riot. i think it illustrates the speed with which the activity that goes on on social media nowadays. as cardiff council workers cleared the roads affected this morning, it has been confirmed that arrests have been made, with more on the way, as the police continue their two investigations into how two teenagers were killed in an accident nearby, and why and how such violence happened in the welsh capital. the first minister has said that he is very concerned at what he saw

happening here in ely last night. in a statement, rishi sunak, the prime minister, has condemned the violence and also thanked the police for their work here. 12 of their officers were injured in the violence here, in five people were taken to hospital. now, 30 years ago there were riots in ely, nearby to there were riots in ely, nearby to the ones last night. there riots became infamous in cardiff, and it has taken years for this area of cardiff to get rid of that violent reputation that tarnished this area of the city. at what happened last night, three decades on, possibly brings back that cloud that shadowed the area for so many years. the government has just announced that overseas students, apart from those on postgraduate research programmes, will be banned from bringing dependents to the uk from january next year. the news comes two days before official figures are expected to show another increase in migration to the uk. 0ur chief political correspondent, nick eardley, is in westminster.

it has only just it has onlyjust been announced. explain more about this. we have heard a lot _ explain more about this. we have heard a lot from _ explain more about this. we have heard a lot from the _ explain more about this. we have heard a lot from the governmentl explain more about this. we have i heard a lot from the government in the past few months about cracking down on the number of people coming into the uk. that is mostly about the illegal migration, small boats crossing the channel. today we are talking about legal migration, people coming to the uk under rules set by this government. the figures we are going to get on thursday are likely to show record highs of net migration. that's the number of people coming in, more than the number of people going out. what the government is doing this afternoon is announcing a pre—emptive strike. it's going to crack down on the number of dependents that can come into the country. at the moment, if you are doing a masters degree, for example, you can bring in your partner and your children while you are doing that course. from january 2024, that will not be the case.

that will be banned. now, the argument of the government is making is that there has been a significant increase in the number of those dependents coming to the uk, a 750% increase, ministers say, overthe past few years. the prime minister told cabinet this morning that he thinks the changes being announced today will have a significant impact. at the question is, how quick will that impact be felt, and will it be enough? remember that the conservatives promised at the last election to bring net migration down. what we are likely to see on thursday is figures that are treble that one of the proms was made. sticking to that manifesto pledge at the moment is looking like an extremely tall orderfor the moment is looking like an extremely tall order for the next election. . ~ extremely tall order for the next election. w' . , extremely tall order for the next election. . , ., ~ prince harry has lost a legal challenge in his bid to be allowed to make private payments for police protection when he's in the uk. his lawyers wanted a judicial review of the rejection

of his offer to pay — after his security arrangements changed when he stopped being a working royal and moved to the us with his wife meghan. 0ur royal correspondent sean coughlan is here. explain what this means. this was about the security _ explain what this means. this was about the security given _ explain what this means. this was about the security given to - explain what this means. this was about the security given to prince | about the security given to prince harry when he came to the uk. as we heard, he is no longer a working royal, he no longer has automatic security that he would have had as a senior member of the royal family. he had proposed that he should pay for his own pocket, pay privately, towards police protection. this didn't go down very well with the home office, who said that this was a bad principle, and that he shouldn't be able to buy your own security, people should not be able to pay separately. also, the metropolitan police were opposed to this and said they didn't want to see their officers effectively being used as bodyguards for hire, and so thejudge has used as bodyguards for hire, and so the judge has stopped this. used as bodyguards for hire, and so thejudge has stopped this. it used as bodyguards for hire, and so the judge has stopped this. it will not proceed any further. i think what it does highlight is the sensitivity and the anxiety that

harry feels around his security. we saw in new york last week, the headlines about the paparazzi chasing his car. it was described as a near catastrophic car chase. i think we will hear more of this in the future. even though prince harry has lost this case, there are others in the pipeline about his security. i think it will carry on being an issue for him and we will hear more about it in the courts as well. thank you for now. an investigation by bbc news has found vapes confiscated from school pupils contained high levels of lead and other metals. scientists are warning of serious health risks, with laboratory tests showing nickel levels nine times higher than what's considered safe. most of the vapes found on children were illegal, and hadn't been registered with regulators. lucy watkinson has the details. still works. leon's reclaiming his vape. do i get it back? it's mine. it was confiscated, along with others, when his headteacher installed a vape detector to try to stop vaping in his school in kidderminster.

why did you buy that one? lemon and lime, it's nice. but leon's favorite vape is not only full of lemon and lime... this device was found to have high levels of lead, nickel and chromium. ..as we found out when we sent all the children's vapes to be tested. we also found high levels of nickel, chromium and lead in these devices. all of these devices. we test products day in, day out. we have seized products from trading standards. we have products from manufacturers. and in 15 years of testing of vape products, i don't think we've ever seen lead content like this in vape products. it's clear that the vapes used by the teenagers fell far short. in fact, some were nearly two and a half times over the safe limit. in these so—called highlighter vapes, it wasn'tjust lead. the nickel content was nine and a half times over the safe limit, while chromium was six and a half times. these metals come from around the coil or heating element, which contains nickel and chrome,

but our tests also showed that they were in the e—liquid itself. we've extracted the e—liquid to determine metals content and so there's a chance that the e—liquid itself has been reacting with the metal to cause leaching of those metals into the e—liquid. these are present in vape products due to the heating element, the formation of a heating element. we don't normally see that coming out into the e—liquid. almost all the children's vapes we tested were illegal. in march, we talked to two pupils, the and oscar, about why they vaped. you're buying nicotine, aren't you, really? you're spending your money on nicotine and stuff, like. it's not something you can stop that easy. this device was found to have high levels of lead... this time we returned to show them the results of our tests. lead damages the brain during development and is a particular concern with the levels found being unsafe. despite this, the boys say it's easy to ignore the risks. i didn't know there was lead in it, and you won't really care if you are addicted to it. you just won't think about it. you'll just forget about it, put it to the back of your mind. it's illegal to sell vapes

to under—18s, yet leon and oscar can get these easily. i get mine from shops, walk in, ask them what flavour you want they pass it to you, you give them money, walk back out. simple. the government has recently announced £3 million in funding in england to tackle the sale of illegal vapes, but matt carpenter says public health messaging for children has to change. we are a long way behind the curve | in influencing children's behaviourl around this at the moment, which is why we need - such a strong message. but i think as a society we are - capable of holding two messages — one that says if you smoke already, vaping can have a positive - impact on your health, | but our children should not be vaping. so nothing we've been seeing today will make you change, stop vaping? not me, no. we need more research to see the long term effects... i'm still here, so... not dead bad. ..but our findings underline the potential health risks for teenagers using unlicensed products. lucy watkinson, bbc news.

0ur health editor, hugh pym, is here. very worrying findings, what's being done about it? yes, and lucy's report focused on metal products, but there are also things like chemicals which break down in formaldehyde which get into the vaper. that batch was said to have those that elevated levels of unsafe products. it is a growing problem. it is illegal to sell a legal and safe product to under 18s, these had somehow got into the system and are clearly unsafe. the government says it is putting more money into enforcement to try to stop rogue shops and retailers from selling them but as we have gathered in research for this piece, they are

out on the streets, there are dealers taking them to young people, everyone is waiting for the government to come up with a plan but medical leaders are telling us it is a matter of extreme urgency because of the potential health risks to a generation of teenagers. thank you. the time is 13:19. our top story this afternoon... police search a reservoir in southern portugal as part of an investigation into the disappearance of madeleine mccann. and still to come: after long easter queues at dover, port staff say they're doing everything possible to avoid a repeat over next week's school holidays. coming up on bbc news... la liga has called for greater powers to take action in spain against racist behaviour, it follows wide—spread condemnation of the response to viniciusjunior�*s allegations of racist abuse at the weekend. the disgraced entertainer and convicted sex offender rolf harris has died aged 93.

he was once a fixture of family television, but was jailed in 2014 for a sting of indecent assaults on girls. in a statement his family confirmed his death and said he'd already been laid to rest. helena wilkinson reports. rolf harris, the tv star who was a fixture on screens in britain for decades. later revealed to be a serial sex offender. this is his final public appearance, walking into court, his bag packed for prison. a convicted paedophile, guilty of indecently assaulting women and young girls. born in australia, rolf harris arrived in britain in the 50s. he quickly found fame on bbc children's tv. singing,

choking, painting, "can you tell what it is yet? " was the catchphrase everyone knew. he presented many programmes including animal hospital and rolf 0n arch. he was top of a poll carried out in the 90s which asked the public to name a famous artist. he was part of childhood entertainment for decades but behind it all was a sight the public did not see. in 2014 he was convicted for a string of indecent assaults against women and young girls. 0ne conviction was later overturned by the court of appeal, as judges overturned by the court of appeal, asjudges ruled it unsafe. at his sentencing hearing, thejudge said rolf harris had shown no remorse and used his celebrity status to take

advantage of his victims. helena wilkinson, bbc news. the ban on the sale of ivory is to be extended from covering elephants, to take in the tusks and teeth of five more species. these include hippos, killer whales and sperm whales, whose habitats are already under threat from climate change. they are all hunted for their teeth. walruses and narwhals are hunted for their tusks. anyone breaking the law could receive an unlimited fine or be jailed for five years. here's our climate editorjustin rowlatt. the customs building at heathrow airport hides a gruesome treasury. behind this door is a collection of endangered animal and plant parts seized by officers. the international trade in this sort of stuff is restricted by a global treaty. a law passed last year restricts the uk trade in this stuff, this of course is an elephant tusk and it weighs about 20 kilos.

and the proposal is that it is expanded to include five other species. so walrus, a walrus tusk there. two species of whales, sperm whales and killer whales, orcas. hippos, there is a lot of poaching of hippos for ivory. and finally narwhal, which are a species of arctic whale with these incredible spiral tasks. steve dan is in charge of day—to—day operations for border force in the uk. this isn't about protecting the legal trade, this is about clamping down on the illegal illicit trade of goods. it's about protecting endangered species and expanding that to make sure we capture other animals where the trade in those other species have increased in the ivory from those animals. these are from a sperm whale. this is the largest toothed animal on the planet. that is from a bull or male sperm whale which has the largest brain of any animal. they are very social,

they communicate. every one of the objects in this house of horrors embodies a tragedy says steve backshall. each of these represents a living animal and living animals that are sentient, intelligent, social, they have family groups. seeing them here reduced to souvenirs is absolutely tragic. the hope is broadening the uk ivory ban to these additional species will reduce poaching and help ensure these magnificent creatures continue to survive in the wild. justin rowlatt, bbc news, heathrow airport. the uk economy is expected to avoid a recession this year, according to the international monetary fund, though it's cautioning that the economic outlook will remain subdued. the imf predicts the economy will grow by 0.4% this year — last month it thought it would shrink by 0.3%. our business reporter, ben king, is here.

second—highest borrowing figures for april on record of 25.6 billion, partly driven by larger than expected interest payments on the national debt, but if the economy approves as the imf expects, that will improve the public finances picture. will improve the public finances icture. . ~' ,. with the half term school break approaching at the end of this week, the head of the port of dover says everything possible has been done to prevent a repeat of the long delays experienced by drivers at the start of the easter holidays. doug bannister says the port is prepared for increased demand — but can't guarantee no queues at all. he's been talking to our transport correspondent katy austin. hours and hours of queuing. that's how the easter getaway began for many coach passengers waiting to board ferries at dover. it wasn't a great experience, and particularly for people that have saved up to travel abroad or the school groups of kids going across, maybe on the first trip, it was not good. the port's boss thinks one of the problems was that

they'd underestimated the time it would take to get so many coachloads of people through with post—brexit passport checks in place. this is where the port staff keep an eye on what's going on with the traffic and try and keep it moving as smoothly as they can. it's turned into quite a busy day today, quite a lot of coaches turning up. but on friday they're expecting a few hundred coaches and more than 5,000 cars. to make sure it can handle the numbers, the port says it's made more space available to process coach passengers, worked with ferry and coach operators to spread out arrivals and made sure there will be enough french border police. so can you reassure people they won't be stuck in a really long queues again? 0n busy days, of course there's going to be some congestion. that happens when when people want to travel. but we're doing everything that we can to make certain that we don't have any repeats of the big, significant events when we had big challenges. having said that, of course, if something unforeseen happens, whether that's weather or a technical failure, or a motorway accident, i think it would be foolish to try

and guarantee that there will never be queues. but what i can say is that we have put in place all the measures, all the processes, installed new facilities, in the best effort to make certain that those queues can not happen again. this company says back before easter, children were stuck on one of its coaches for about 15 hours because of the delays. no—one wants repeat the scenes we saw at easter. they've made our passengers scared of travelling by ferry, our drivers scared of travelling by ferry. we've had reassurances from the port authorities and the ferries. there's a lot more communication going on. it's extremely important to us, as a company, so we can pass the confidence on to our drivers and, of course, onto our customers. the port isn't currently considering putting limits on passenger numbers, insisting everybody here is pulling together to keep things moving. this weekend will be another test ahead of the big summer season. katy austin, bbc news. 12,000 runners took part in the inaugural rob burrow leeds marathon earlier this month, to fundraise for research into mnd

after the rugby league star was diagnosed in 2019. the moment that grabbed everyone's attention was when his good friend and former team—mate kevin sinfield carried rob across the finish line. as graham satchell reports, that image also caught the eye of an oscar—winning artist. two rugby league legends, rob burrow and kevin sinfield. as they approached the finish line of their recent marathon, something extraordinary — kev lifts rob and carries him over the line so they can finish together. rob was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in 2019. this moment now immortalised in pen and ink by the artist and illustrator charlie mackesy. do you have a favourite saying? yes. what is it? if at first you don't succeed, have some cake. back at home, rob and his family

are watching charlie's oscar—winning short film the boy, the mole, the fox and the horse, rob's children mesmerized by a story of friendship and kindness. so, girls, we've had a special delivery. do you want to open it and see what it is? wow! oh, my gosh! look at this. wow. charlie mackesy has sent the family signed copies of his print. what does that picture mean to you? it means a really special time, because daddy will never forget the time that he finished this finish line with kevin. the say a picture paints a thousand words, don't they, and i think... that picture paints infinite words. it does. charlie mackesy is going to sell copies of this print for £30. he's donating £20 of each sale to help fund the new centre for mnd in rob's name. to give 20 of it to us isjust amazing.
