The Government says claims that it plans to privatise policing are | :00:08. | :00:12. | |
"mischievous" and misguided". It comes as two of Britain's forces | :00:13. | :00:17. | |
invite private firms to provide a wide range of police services. | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
Russians vote to decide whether Vladimir Putin should be President | :00:20. | :00:25. | |
again. BP may have to pay out even more | :00:25. | :00:28. | |

billion. And friends, family and the people | :00:32. | :00:42. | |

of Belfast say farewell to Frank Good evening. | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
Private companies could be given a much bigger role in policing under | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
plans drawn up by two of Britain's forces. West Midlands and Surrey | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
Police have invited bids from security companies to act as | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
partners providing a wide range of services including help | :01:03. | :01:09. | |
investigating crime. Labour said the proposals would undermine trust | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
in public service policing. However, the Government welcomed the "huge | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
opportunities to save money" and dismissed suggestions that it | :01:15. | :01:21. | |
wanted to privatise policing as "mischievous and misguided". Daniel | :01:21. | :01:30. | |
Police forces in England and Wales are having to make budget cuts of | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
20% over four years at the same time they are under pressure to | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
protect front-line services to save costs, some are already using the | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
private sector for tasks including managing custody suites, what is | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
proposed could be on a larger scale. West Midlands and Surrey Police are | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
asking private security firms to bid for contracts that could be | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
worth �1.5 billion. The forces say they are exploring what the private | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
sector could do more more efficiently or more cheaply. | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
You have to make decisions acknowledging the financial climate | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
is changing and that may require us to do things differently, but it | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
will not impact on front-line services. Police officers will be | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
policing the streets of Surrey. The proposals involve two police | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
forces, but the way the process is being handled means that others | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
could follow suit in few tump. The police -- future. The police insist | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
this is not about using private security staff to respond to | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
emergencies or carry out arrests. They could be involved in some | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
elements of investigations like recovering and logging CCTV footage, | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
or guarding crime scenes. The Police Federation describes it | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
as a dangerous road to take. Labour says the proposals could put at | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
risk core public policing. I think we need safeguards from the | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
Home Secretary and reassurances thatted scale of -- that the scale | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
of police cuts is not pushing police forces into decisions that | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
go against the interests of good, effective British policing. Last | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
month Lincolnshire Police signed a deal with a private company to | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
build and run a police station as well as provide services like human | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
resources and IT, the Government says that contract shows what can | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
be done and says suggestions that this is privatising policing are | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
misguided. This is about supporting the front- | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
line by making sure that the back room jobs that do that can be done | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
more efficiently. There are huge opportunities to save money here. | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
Chief Constables want to see trained officers on the beat rather | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
than carrying out duties that others could do and they are under | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
financial pressure. But The response to the proposals, even in | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
their early stages, shows how sensitive a greater move towards | :03:40. | :03:48. | |
private sector involvement in The first polls have opened in | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
Russia's presidential election in which Vladimir Putin, who is Prime | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
Minister, is hoping to be elected President once again. Voting began | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
just over two hours ago in Russia's far east. It will end tomorrow | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
evening with the result expected shortly after that. We're joined | :04:01. | :04:08. | |
from Moscow by our correspondent Daniel Sandford. Daniel, there are | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
suggestion that is Vladimir Putin will win. Is that the feeling? | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
Russian politics haven't been so unpredictable for a long time. The | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
one thing you can be sure of is Vladimir Putin will win. What is | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
less clear, is what is going to happen after that because of course, | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
we have got the protest movement and that's not going to go away and | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
that could cause some severe political difficulties further down | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
the line and also what we have seen over the last few weeks is that the | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
support of Vladimir Putin, it is softer than it used to be. People | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
are saying they are going to vote for him because there is no one | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
else and that's because he managed to crush the opposition over the | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
last 12 years and that's maybe - that system is starting to founder | :04:52. | :04:59. | |
and that means he is not in an uncomfortable position. | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
A lot is at stake? We need to see how he deals with the protest | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
movements. He has had no option, but to allow it to continue because | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
he con be seen to be clamping down on it ahead of the election. What | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
happens next is really quite important. How he deals with that, | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
but also how the protesters deal with it because if they feel they | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
are not getting their demands, if they feel they are protesting into | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
a black hole and nobody is responding, that could be dangerous | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
for Russia. Also dangerous would be the continuation of the corrupt | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
regime that has grown up around Vladimir Putin which would be very, | :05:35. | :05:42. | |
Syrian forces are reported to have renewed their bombardment of the | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
city of Homs according to anti- government activists. A Red Cross | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
convoy has been prevented for the second day running from entering | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
the Baba Amr area of the city to deliver humanitarian assistance. | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
Meanwhile, the bodies of two foreign journalists killed in Homs | :05:56. | :06:04. | |
nine days ago have been handed to embassy officials in Damascus. The | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
veteran Sunday Times correspondent, Marie Colvin, and the French | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
photographer Remi Ochlik were killed during the attacks on the | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
city. BP has agreed to pay around �5 | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
billion in compensation to more than 100,000 people and businesses | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
affected by the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, in one of the biggest | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
settlements of its kind. But it won't bring an end to the costs for | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
BP which is still fighting claims from the US authorities that it was | :06:24. | :06:34. | |
:06:34. | :06:36. | ||
guilty of gross negligence. Robert April 2010, the world's worst off | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
shore oil spill. The Deepwater Horizon explosion which killed | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
eleven people and saw four million barrels of oil leak into the Gulf | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
of Mexico. Almost two years on andle bill for BP just keeps rising. | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
Today, BP announced an out of court settlement with lawyers | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
representing 110,000 businesses and individuals at a cost of �4.9 | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
billion, very much at the top end of what BP hoped to pay. That | :07:03. | :07:09. | |
brings to almost �9 billion the sum BP agreed to pay in compensation to | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
people and whose firms whose livelihoods and health have been | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
damaged. It cost BP a similar amount, around �9 billion to cap | :07:17. | :07:24. | |
the leaking well and clean up the mess. It is not the end of the | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
story for Gulf Coast tourism or fishing. | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
Business is off. The people aren't coming in the numbers that they | :07:31. | :07:37. | |
normally do. Of course, it could be the economy. It could be the per | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
perception that this pace is tainted. It is hard to say. But | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
numbers are down, definitely. The fishing is good, but the people | :07:43. | :07:49. | |
just aren't here. Some claim the oil has not all gone | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
yet. Back out over there, you would walk | :07:53. | :07:59. | |
through the marshes and you would pull your boot up and you would see | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
it running off. It is there. It is not the end of litigation | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
against BP which is being sued in New Orleans by the States affected | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
by the environmental disaster and by the US Federal Department of | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
Justice. BP, hotly denies that as a company, | :08:14. | :08:20. | |
it acted criminally or was guilty of gross negligence. If the court | :08:20. | :08:26. | |
takes a different view, the �24 billion that BP set aside to cover | :08:26. | :08:36. | |
the cost of the disaster could turn The Prime Minister has described | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
National Health Service reform as "unavoidable and urgent", saying he | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
doesn't care if the Government, in his words, "takes a hit" over the | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
issue. Speaking at the Conservatives spring forum, David | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
Cameron said there would be no going back on the reforms. What I | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
care about is that what we're doing works to avert that crisis to make | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
the NHS strong enough for the future and that is why we're making | :08:59. | :09:05. | |
what are simple changes. Handing power and choice to patients. | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
Cutting bureaucracy, putting doctors and nurses, not bureaucrats | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
in charge. A Conservative member of the | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
European Parliament has defected to the UK Independence Party. Roger | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
Helmer, who represents the East Midlands, made the announcement | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
ahead of the UKIP spring conference in Lincolnshire where the party | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
Leader, Nigel Farage, attacked the Conservatives position on Europe. | :09:24. | :09:29. | |
The Labour Party frrks Labour Party, from the Lib Dems we hear almost | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
nothing, the most enthusiastic cheerleaders in the European Union, | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
the guys urging the abolition of democracy, the guys urging that | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
anything and everything must be done to preserve a failing euro | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
have, of course, been David Cameron and George Osborne. | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
Emergency workers in eight US States have spent the day searching | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
for survivors after a wave of tornados left at least 35 people | :09:51. | :09:57. | |
dead, and hundreds injured. The storms swept through a wide belt of | :09:57. | :10:03. | |
central and southern states. Kentucky and Indiana were hit | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
hardest with some communities completely flattened. Philippa | :10:05. | :10:14. | |
One of the most powerful tornadoes swept over Indiana. | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
And this is what it left behind. A school bus torn across the road, | :10:19. | :10:28. | |
:10:29. | :10:29. | ||
shunted into a house. Devastating. Devastating. I'm sad | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
to hear. I hope there was no babies on the school bus m. | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
. It seems there wherein. A school was ripped apart by the tornadoes, | :10:38. | :10:45. | |
but the pupils were inharmed. This is the nearby town of Mayor | :10:45. | :10:52. | |
yesesville. It had 1900 residents. This individual co shows another -- | :10:52. | :10:59. | |
video. This shows another tornado in the distance. You can hear the | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
sound of the hailstones, some said to be the size of golf balls. The | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
clear-up is underway in Ohio where another wave of tornadoes hit this | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
week and it is not just the weather that is a danger. | :11:12. | :11:21. | |
Our Our cellphones are picking up. Further south, residents were well | :11:21. | :11:31. | |
:11:31. | :11:35. | ||
prepared to ride out the storm. Well, that used to be a mobile home. | :11:35. | :11:41. | |
Last year was one of the deadliest seasons on record. | :11:41. | :11:51. | |

This year, the storms have come Now with the football results and | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
the rest of the sport, here's Amanda Davies It has been a big day | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
in the battle for fourth spot, and Champions League qualification, in | :11:59. | :12:05. | |
the English Premier League. Match of the Day follows the news | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
here on BBC 1, so now's the time to step out of the room if you want to | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
avoid the results. Chelsea manager Andre Villas Boas admitted his | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
future is out of his hands after his side were beaten 1-0 by West | :12:16. | :12:25. | |
Brom. It leaves the Blues three points adrift of that all-important | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
European place having won just three of their last 12 Premier | :12:28. | :12:30. | |
League games. It's Arsenal above them after Robin | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
van Persie scored both goals for Arsene Wenger's side to beat | :12:33. | :12:39. | |
Liverpool 2-1. Manchester City opened up a five point gap at the | :12:39. | :12:48. | |
top of the table with a 2-0 win over strugglers Bolton. | :12:48. | :12:55. | |
In Scotland, things don't get any better for Rangers. They were | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
beaten 2-1 by Hearts in what's likely to be their last game as a | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
full squad. Up to 12 players are expected to have their contracts | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
ended on Monday by the administrators. At this moment in | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
time, we're wounded. There is no doubt about it. There is probably | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
one or two people out there enjoying it. Maybe one or two | :13:11. | :13:17. | |
people having a wee fly kick, you know, and I would suggest to them, | :13:17. | :13:24. | |
you can have a right good kick now because we will not be where we are | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
for a long time. Rangers are now 21 points behind | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
SPL leaders Celtic although the Hoops could only draw their match | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
against Aberdeen. Anthony Stokes gave Celtic the lead on 28 minutes, | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
but Aberdeen snatched a draw when Andre Blackman turned the ball into | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
his own net on his debut. It brings Celtic's 17 game winning run in the | :13:42. | :13:49. | |
league to an end. Problems continue for Dunfermline. They were beaten | :13:49. | :13:55. | |
by Motherwell. Andy Murray is looking for his | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
first tournament victory of the year after defeat in the final of | :13:59. | :14:04. | |
the Dubai tennis championship. He admitted he deserved to lose to | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
Roger Federer. Expectations are high for Andy | :14:07. | :14:17. | |
:14:17. | :14:18. | ||
Murray. Usually he is a summer bloomer, but having beaten Novak | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
Djokovic. Roger Federer has been there, seen it and continues to do | :14:21. | :14:27. | |
it. First set to the Swiss. This was turning into an anticlimax from | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
Murray as Federer extended his dominance. He knew Murray doesn't | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
fade away, throwing Federer's procession off course with a break | :14:34. | :14:39. | |
of his own. It was a diversion, not a road | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
block. Federer never seem worried and he wasn't working up too much | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
of a sweat here. He claimed another break and the | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
championship was not far behind. Federer finished in the manner in | :14:51. | :14:57. | |
which he approached the contest. Serving a reminder of Murray of | :14:57. | :15:03. | |
another of the obparticular scales -- obstacles that bar his way to a | :15:03. | :15:13. | |

Grand Slam. Hahhah scoop Mily secured a spot in | :15:15. | :15:21. | |
the swimming. Friends and family of Frank Carson | :15:21. | :15:27. | |
came together for his funeral in Belfast. The entertainer died last | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
week, aged 85, at his home in Blackpool. | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
For 60 years Frank Carson made people laugh. Today he made them | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
cry. His family and friends gathered in Belfast to say goodbye | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
to the Irish comic described at his funeral as the Prime Minister of | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
Fun. Politicians, broadcasters, sports | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
stars and fellow comedians, came together to remember the king of | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
Belfast's comedy. I had been with him when he told | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
the same joke to different people all day long and nobody laughed | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
louder than me. A great, great ambassador for | :16:03. | :16:08. | |
Northern Ireland. He certainly was. Belfast was infamous for machine | :16:08. | :16:14. | |
gunfire through the years, but with Frank Carson it took on a different | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
meaning. Ratta-tat-tat jokes one after the other. | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
What's the difference between my wife and a terrorist? You can | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
negotiate with a terrorist. What way do you want your money, | :16:25. | :16:30. | |
heads or tails? That's a cracker that one. It's the way I tell them. | :16:30. | :16:38. | |
And that was a cracker too. It was made of flowers inside the the | :16:38. | :16:43. | |
hearse. A final joke on his final journey. | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
The 85-year-old entertainer died last week after a long battle with | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
stomach cancer. After the Catholic funeral service, there was a | :16:51. | :16:55. |
