The UN Security Council backs plans for international observers to | :00:03. | :00:10. | |
enter Syria. But the vote comes just as the ceasefire appears to be | :00:10. | :00:19. | |
in danger of collapsing in some parts of the country. There is an | :00:19. | :00:24. | |
important opportunity to stop the violence and the bloodshed, and | :00:24. | :00:29. | |
begin a transition towards stable and democratic Syria. | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
The government presses ahead with contingency plans for a fuel strike, | :00:32. | :00:40. | |
despite a breakthrough in the tanker drivers' dispute. | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
One of the closest races in Grand National history - Neptune | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
Collonges wins by a nose. But there's tragedy as well as triumph | :00:46. | :00:56. | |

- the Gold Cup winner Synchronised Good evening. The United Nations | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
Security Council has voted unanimously in favour of sending a | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
team of observers into Syria. They're expected to start arriving | :01:13. | :01:18. | |
there within the next 24 hours. It comes amid reports the ceasefire in | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
Syria appears to be in danger of collapsing in some parts of the | :01:21. | :01:31. | |
:01:31. | :01:33. | ||
country. This is what the ceasefire looked like in Syria just hours | :01:33. | :01:39. | |
before the UN voted to deploy international observers. In the | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
city of Homs, sporadic shelling developed into a full-scale battle | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
with rocket and tank fire from government troops. The pictures | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
can't be verified, but her voice calls out, "where his Kofi Annan? | :01:53. | :02:01. | |
We want intervention." in New York, there was consensus for the first | :02:01. | :02:07. | |
time. The draft resolution received 15 votes in favour. Russia had | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
approved a revised text of the revolution so the council voted | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
unanimously in favour of sending a monitoring mission without delay. | :02:16. | :02:22. | |
We are under no illusions. Just this morning, Syrian forces resumed | :02:22. | :02:28. | |
their brutal shelling of Homs and opened fire on mourners, raising | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
renewed doubts about the sincerity of the regime's commitment to a | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
ceasefire. Syria's ambassador said he supported the observer force but | :02:39. | :02:47. | |
he was alarmed about what he heard. Totally unpleasant language, | :02:47. | :02:55. | |
provocative language, irresponsible language while talking about the | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
Syrian government. Sir am of the advanced team of up to 30 unarmed | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
military observers could be in Syria within 24 hours. They will | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
initiate contact with both sides, government and opposition. Their | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
primary task will be to oversee and report on the implementation of the | :03:12. | :03:19. | |
ceasefire, and the UN intends to increase the deployment to 250 | :03:19. | :03:26. | |
observers, though that will need further approval. Activists said | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
security forces opened fire in Aleppo during a funeral protest. | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
State television blamed rebel fighters. Observers will have to | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
move fast to save the ceasefire from complete collapse. | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
Our UN correspondent Barbara Plett is live in New York for us tonight. | :03:41. | :03:48. | |
How significant is this vote to send in observers? It is | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
significant because it will get at least a small international | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
presence on the ground within hours and that is becoming more urgent as | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
the ceasefire continues to crumble. It also strengthens the | :04:02. | :04:10. | |
international community's support for the police -- peace plan. I | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
think crucially it is significant because this is the first time the | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
security council has been able to agree on a legally binding | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
resolution on the serious crisis and they have been able to do that | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
because they can at least agree the violence just stop and the Syrian | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
government should keep to its ceasefire commitments. Until now, | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
the Syrian government has pointed to the toes of revolution to say | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
the international community was divided. Now it will not be as easy | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
to do so. The government will carry on making | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
contingency plans for a possible fuel strike, that's despite a | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
breakthrough in the tanker drivers' dispute. Last night the Unite union | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
said it would put a potential deal to its members. Fears of strike | :04:52. | :05:01. | |
action caused panic buying at petrol stations last month. | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
This apparent breakthrough might mean these fears of a fuel shortage | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
were just that, fears, but there are still a possibility tanker | :05:11. | :05:17. | |
drivers might go on strike so the government says it will continue to | :05:17. | :05:23. | |
draw up contingency plans, and that has angered the unions involved. | :05:23. | :05:29. | |
have got to be honest, it is not helpful to me or my members, trying | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
to negotiate a settlement on this dispute going forward. | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
government's contingency plans had included training military tanker | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
drivers to step in if needed. The approach from ministers remains | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
cautious. A spokesman for the Department for energy and climate | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
change said they were still taking sensible measures to plan for a | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
possible strike and will continue to do so until a final agreement is | :05:56. | :06:02. | |
reached. Last night the proposed deal was finalised at the | :06:02. | :06:08. | |
conciliation service after days of talks. We don't know what the deal | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
is. Unite members will meet next week to decide whether to accept | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
the offer. What is this dispute about? Drivers want a minimum | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
standard for wages, pensions and safety, but the delivery firm say | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
they have excellent safety records, their training is good, and the | :06:27. | :06:33. | |
drivers are well paid, on around four to �5,000. Simply the union | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
winning the votes for strike action triggered panic buying a few weeks | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
ago. Any threat to fuel supplies makes the public feel very | :06:42. | :06:51. | |
:06:52. | :06:55. | ||
vulnerable. The government's critics say it has dented the | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
coalition's credibility. How do you say don't panic without people | :06:59. | :07:05. | |
doing exactly that? The United States says there was a | :07:05. | :07:11. | |
positive atmosphere in talks with Iran over its controversial nuclear | :07:11. | :07:17. | |
problem. The negotiations ended with an agreement to meet again | :07:17. | :07:27. | |
:07:27. | :07:40. | ||
next month. Last time Catherine Ashton met, | :07:40. | :07:46. | |
they agreed on almost nothing. They may have negotiated for an entire | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
day, but decades of mistrust will not be resolved in just one session. | :07:51. | :07:59. | |
Tonight, the sides agreed to meet again next month in Baghdad. | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
discussions on Iranian nuclear issue have been constructive and | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
useful, reflecting the terms and spirit of our recent exchange of | :08:08. | :08:17. | |
letters with Iran. Speak in after the meeting, Iran's chief | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
negotiator said there were differences of opinion but also | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
important points of agreement. Events over the last year may have | :08:24. | :08:29. | |
compelled the sides to explore proper negotiations. Earlier this | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
year Iran began work at a new enrichment facility in a fortified | :08:34. | :08:40. | |
bunker. In turn, the EU and the US have imposed new sanctions and | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
Israel has suggested it is considering carrying out its own | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
military strike. So this is what negotiators may talk about next | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
time they meet, the nuclear activities shown off by President | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
Ahmadinejad. Iran has suggested it is ready to talk in detail about | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
its nuclear programme. Talking is one thing, agreeing is something | :09:02. | :09:12. | |
:09:12. | :09:14. | ||
else. Sport now, and a full round up of | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
all the day's action. Thank you, Ben. Good evening. For the second | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
year running, the Grand National was marred by fatal injuries to two | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
horses, including Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Synchronised. The race | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
itself was the closest finish in history with Neptune Collange | :09:25. | :09:35. | |
:09:35. | :09:36. | ||
winning by a nose. Drama and danger - rarely have the Grand National's | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
hallmarks been so exposed. Before the start, Synchronised unseated | :09:40. | :09:46. | |
his jockey, Tony McCoy. He eventually lined up with the others | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
but the offences took their toll. The course have made safety changes | :09:50. | :09:58. | |
after last year, but only 15 of the 40 starters finished. On the second | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
circuit, one fence had to be bypassed. The climax of the race | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
was remarkable. Seabass had threatened to make Kate Walsh the | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
first female jockey to win, but it came down to Neptune Collonges, | :10:13. | :10:19. | |
Sunnyhillboy, and the closest finish in Grand National history. | :10:19. | :10:29. | |
:10:29. | :10:30. | ||
It took a photo to separate them. Neptune Collonges by a whisker. | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
I'll always thought some day I would ride the Grand National | :10:33. | :10:39. | |
winner and I am glad I have done it now. A after the joy, the news that | :10:39. | :10:45. | |
two forces had died, Synchronised and According To Pete. Once again, | :10:45. | :10:53. | |
racing faces serious questions. have to reduce the risk. Talking | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
about further complex reviews or massive changes is far too early. | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
We need to remember there are small numbers of horses running in these | :11:02. | :11:08. | |
races, it is too early to make rash judgments. For racing, a day of | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
contrasting emotions. One of the most exciting finishes in Grand | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
National history but once again the safety of this event is under the | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
most stern scrutiny. They've already won the Carling Cup | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
and now Liverpool are through to the FA Cup final following their 2- | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
1 win against Merseyside rivals Everton. The much maligned Andy | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
Carroll scored Liverpool's late winner at Wembley. Tim Franks | :11:27. | :11:35. | |
watched all the action. As the Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
put it, this was not just an FA Cup semi-final, this was a semi-final | :11:40. | :11:48. | |
against Everton. Before the raucousness, the silence. In 1989, | :11:48. | :11:54. | |
96 Liverpool fans died at the start of that FA Cup semi-final. In the | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
first half, Liverpool were subdued. There is a place for politeness, | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
the penalty box is not that place. Nikica Jelavic scored one of the | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
most easy goals he will ever collect, advantage Everton. After | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
the break, Andy Carroll, who has had a grim run in red, could not | :12:13. | :12:21. | |
miss, but he did. It was not to matter. A half-baked back pass | :12:21. | :12:29. | |
allowed Luis Suarez to swoop, 1-1. Sylvain Distin distraught. Then, at | :12:29. | :12:35. | |
last, Andy Carroll on song, back heading Liverpool into the final. | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
It has been a fit full few months for the Liverpool squad, often | :12:39. | :12:46. | |
misfiring. Not today. Who knows, if they end up winning the FA Cup they | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
might even end up calling this season a success. | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
Match of the Day follows the news with today's Premier League goals | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
so if you don't want to know the results pop out of the room for a | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
moment so I don't spoil your fun. Manchester City's Carlos Tevez | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
stole the show with a hat trick in a 6-1 win against Norwich. City are | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
now just two points behind league leaders Manchester United. Bottom | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
of the table Wolves drew at Sunderland. Blackburn remain in the | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
relegation zone, losing 3-0 to Swansea. And QPR are precariously | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
poised just two points above the drop zone after a 1-nil defeat to | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
West Brom. Hibernian are through to the final of the Scottish Cup. They | :13:18. | :13:24. | |
beat Aberdeen 2-1. With the scores level with just five minutes to go, | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
childhood Hibs fan Leigh Griffiths slotted home the winner to give | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
Hibernian hope of lifting the Scottish Cup for the first time in | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
110 years. Finally, Nico Rosberg will start on | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
pole in his Mercedes for tomorrow's Chinese Grand Prix, which will be | :13:37. | :13:45. | |
live on BBC One at 7am. That's all the sport. | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
Passengers on board a cruise ship retracing the Titanic's ill-fated | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
maiden voyage a hundred years ago are preparing to remember those who | :13:50. | :13:57. | |
died in the tragedy. A memorial service is due to be held in the | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
early hours of the morning on the site where the ship sank a century | :14:00. | :14:07. | |
ago. Jon Kay is on board MS Balmoral. Six days, 2000 miles | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
after we sailed out of Southampton, we are fast approaching the spot | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
where Titanic hit an iceberg. As I stand here, I can feel the | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
temperature falling every minute. It is not just passengers on board | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
the ship marking the centenary in the early hours of tomorrow morning, | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
there are plenty of people back home, like the family's you are | :14:29. | :14:38. | |
about to meet. Their relatives met 100 years ago tonight. He was a | :14:38. | :14:43. | |
member of the Titanic crew, she was a Countess travelling first class, | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
and now, a century later, we will bring their descendants together | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
for the first time. We have come to Liverpool to meet Neil Jones and | :14:53. | :15:01. | |
her family. Her father Tommy was on board the Titanic and he rescued | :15:01. | :15:07. | |
dozens of passengers in a lifeboat. He must have been awful for them. | :15:07. | :15:11. | |
You don't see these things and forget them. It among the | :15:11. | :15:16. | |
passengers he saved was the young Countess from Scotland. She helped | :15:16. | :15:22. | |
Tommy Steele the lifeboat for eight hours until they reached the rescue | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
ship. They never met again but they stayed in touch for the rest of | :15:26. | :15:32. | |
their lives. The Countess used to send a letter at Christmas and she | :15:32. | :15:38. | |
always put a pound chorine in. was not all she gave him. When they | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
reached New York, she presented tummy with a silver pocket watch to | :15:42. | :15:49. | |
thank him for saving her life. But 15 years ago, the watch was sold to | :15:49. | :15:54. | |
raise some cash and they have no idea where it is now. We have got a | :15:54. | :16:01. | |
surprise for her. I am and Schiller, I am the Countess's great- | :16:01. | :16:08. | |
granddaughter. And guess what Angela has brought with her. It's | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
still walks. The family secretly brought back the watch when she | :16:14. | :16:24. | |
:16:24. | :16:24. | ||
sold it at auction. Isn't that lovely? Yes! Lovely. What a | :16:24. | :16:33. | |
surprise. We thought it had gone forever. The family have collected | :16:33. | :16:40. | |
the whole story, which the Joneses have never seen before, including | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
letters sent between the Countess and Tommy praising each other's | :16:44. | :16:53. | |
bravery. We were still singing when we saw the lights of the rescue | :16:53. | :17:00. | |
ship, and then we stopped singing and we prayed. It is extraordinary. | :17:01. | :17:07. | |
In return for the watch, Tommy gave the Countess the present. The brass | :17:07. | :17:14. | |
No. 8 which he took from lifeboat number eight when they were rescued. | :17:15. | :17:19. | |
Angela has promised she will keep the artifacts together to preserve | :17:19. | :17:27. | |
the story of the Countess and the crewman, and she is happy with that. | :17:27. | :17:33. | |
This is one of three reeds that will be thrown into the sea for the | :17:33. | :17:37. |
