Violent protests in Bahrain, on the eve of the Grand Prix. | :00:13. | :00:17. | |
Thousands of people take to the streets again, after the death of a | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
protester. Security forces are accused of the | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
killing. Tonight, Britain urges Bahrain's | :00:22. | :00:30. | |
government to act with restraint. Dozens are seriously injured, after | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
two trains collide near Amsterdam. Tributes have been paid to the | :00:34. | :00:44. | |

Barcelona in the battle for the Good evening, There have been more | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
violent clashes between protesters and police in Bahrain, where the | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
Formula 1 Grand Prix is scheduled to go ahead tomorrow. | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
A protester has been found dead. Opposition parties say he was | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
killed by riot police. Tonight, the Foreign Secretary William Hague | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
called on Bahrain's government to exercise restraint. Our | :01:23. | :01:33. | |
:01:33. | :01:35. | ||
correspondent Dan Roan is in Bahrain and sent this report. | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
Violent protests on the streets of borrowing, as demonstrators and | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
security forces clashed. Thousands of demonstrators demanding | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
political reform, many bitterly opposed to the Grand Prix taking | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
place here. With News at One of their own has died. These pictures | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
appear to show the body of a protester, up on the roof where he | :01:58. | :02:06. | |
was found dead. A cameraman appears to come under fire from security | :02:06. | :02:12. | |
forces as he records the scene. The victim was 37, it is claimed he was | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
killed by shotgun pellets fired by police. The investigation into his | :02:16. | :02:22. | |
death is under way. The government claimed they found his body. At the | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
same time, youths are being surrounded by armoured vehicles, | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
they had been arrested. Just because the government wants it to | :02:31. | :02:37. | |
seem like it is completely quiet while the Formula One takes place. | :02:37. | :02:47. | |
This is a fortress in the desert, a heightened security presence. The | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
drivers are here simply to drive, their eyes are firmly on the road | :02:50. | :02:58. | |
ahead and tomorrow's race. John Todd is the -- Jean Todt was asked | :02:58. | :03:04. | |
whether the death of a protester changed things? I feel very | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
comfortable, having the race in Bahrain, after a great Grand Prix | :03:09. | :03:16. | |
we had in China last week. Before going in three weeks have to | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
Barcelona for the first Europe Grand Prix. The Crown Prince | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
arrived at the track today as qualifying took place, part of the | :03:25. | :03:32. | |
Sunni royalty struggling to contain the anger of the Shia majority. He | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
has defied calls for the event to be cancelled, despite the inability | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
of the sport's governing body to guarantee a trouble-free race. It | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
emerged that Foreign Secretary had called his counterpart in Bahrain | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
to express his concern at the violence here, to call for | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
restraint when dealing with the protests, and to urge further | :03:54. | :04:01. | |
reforms. There has been restrained by the security forces. One must | :04:01. | :04:07. | |
not forget that some small minority of those protesters resort to | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
violence. Today's qualifying session took place against a | :04:12. | :04:18. | |
backdrop of virtually empty Grand stands. Sebastian Vettel back on | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
pole position for the first time this season. This is a race weekend | :04:22. | :04:28. | |
like the weather, when taking risks is expected, but a decision to defy | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
critics and drive through with the most controversial of races could | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
be its biggest gamble yet. Two passenger trains have collided | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
"head-on" outside the Dutch city of Amsterdam. The accident has left | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
more than 60 people injured, many of them seriously. It's not yet | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
known what caused the crash, but neither train is said to have come | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
off the rails. Our world affairs correspondent Caroline Hawley | :04:48. | :04:56. | |
reports. Slowly, Caerphilly, the injured are | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
brought to safety. Casualties of a head-on collision between two | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
crowded trains. The crash took place at 6:30pm, throwing | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
passengers around the carriages in a terrifying ordeal. Many suffered | :05:10. | :05:19. | |
neck injuries and broken bones. Some are very seriously hurt. The | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
emergency services are said to have a right quickly. But the rescue | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
effort was slow. Some of the injured had to be lifted out by | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
crane. The operation was complicated because of the elevated | :05:31. | :05:38. | |
track. A police spokeswoman said hundreds of passengers had been on | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
board but it was too early to say what had caused the crash. | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
Investigators will want to know how two chains, won a high-speed | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
service and one in local service, were on the same track at the same | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
time. The United Nations Security Council | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
has voted to increase, to 300, the number of observers in Syria | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
monitoring a ceasefire agreed between government and rebel forces. | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
Today, the first small group of UN monitors entered the city of Homs | :06:03. | :06:11. | |
which, before the ceasefire, had seen some of the fiercest fighting. | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
There was shooting nearby as they were shown around the city, | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
although the monitors themselves are not thought to have come under | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
attack. Our Middle East correspondent Jim | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
Muir is in Beirut. 300 more monitors. But exactly how much of a | :06:27. | :06:35. | |
ceasefire is there on the ground in Syria, for them to monitor? | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
As you can see there, they did have an effect in bringing down the | :06:40. | :06:48. | |
level of violence in Homs, during that visit. But in other parts of | :06:48. | :06:55. | |
the country, activists say more than 30 people were killed, in | :06:55. | :07:02. | |
incidences, a lot in the far north, others in the south in Deraa. A few | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
others scattered around, some shelling involved there. The | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
presence of the observers on the ground does seem to make a | :07:09. | :07:15. | |
difference. In Homs, the level of casualties was right down. They | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
decided to leave two observers there permanently for that reason. | :07:19. | :07:25. | |
Keeping tabs on everything is difficult. After they talked to | :07:25. | :07:31. | |
people in Homs, in one of the worst quarters, apparently those people | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
were beaten up and arrested for talking to the observers. Difficult | :07:36. | :07:44. | |
to monitor that, plus, they have to monitor the other side as well. | :07:44. | :07:50. | |
Government TV is showing bombs activists have killed people Web. | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
So there are two asides to the story and the observers have to be | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
across all of it. Gun salutes have taken place across | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
the UK today, to celebrate the Queen's 86th birthday. At Edinburgh | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
Castle, large crowds turned out to watch a 21-gun salute by 105 | :08:05. | :08:14. | |
Regiment Royal Artillery. The Bee Gees singer Robin Gibb has | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
shown signs of recovery, after waking from a coma. The 62 year old | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
had contracted pneumonia in his battle against colon and liver | :08:21. | :08:31. | |
:08:31. | :08:31. | ||
cancer. Tributes have been paid to the | :08:31. | :08:41. | |
Labour peer Jack Ashley, who's died after a short illness. He was 89. A | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
life-long disability rights campaigner, Lord Ashley, who lost | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
his hearing in his forties, had a long and successful career at | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
Westminster. David Cameron said he'd made a major contribution to | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
public life. While Ed Miliband said he'd be remembered with "deep | :08:53. | :09:00. | |
affection". Carole Walker looks back on Lord Ashley's life. | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
Lord Ashley commanded huge respect and affection across political | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
lines. But he was not afraid of confrontation as he fought for the | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
rights of the underprivileged and disabled. | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
What is happening today is disabled people are expressing their great | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
anger at the refusal of the government to give them proper | :09:16. | :09:23. | |
legislative rights. He worked for the BBC in the 1960s. This is a | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
documentary he made about life on the dole. Many unemployed people | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
have told me queueing for the dole is humiliating. Is there any way | :09:31. | :09:37. | |
you can... He went on to campaign for the disadvantaged in Parliament. | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
Jack Ashley was MP for Stoke the 26 years, although he almost stood | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
down when he lost his hearing in a routine operation two years after | :09:44. | :09:53. | |
winning his seat. Normally, he used to sit in the front bench because, | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
if he asked a question, the Prime Minister's answer would be typed | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
out, and would be on a little screen. Colleagues remember a | :10:00. | :10:09. | |
determined campaigner. His whole life was devoted to dealing with | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
the problem that he faced, which was disability. He proved that if | :10:12. | :10:22. | |
:10:22. | :10:23. | ||
you really do work at it, and campaign, you can make progress. | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
When Jack entered Parliament, there was no provision for disabled | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
people on access to the built environment. There were no | :10:28. | :10:34. | |
allowances. He leaves a much better legacy than was left to him. | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
Lord Ashley will be remembered as the champion of the rights of | :10:38. | :10:46. | |
disabled people, who changed laws and public attitudes. | :10:46. | :10:52. | |
Sport now. And for a full round up of all the day's action, here's | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
Katie Gornall at the BBC Sport Centre. | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
Good evening. It was an eventful day for teams at | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
the top and bottom of the Premier League, as the fight for survival | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
and the race for the Champions League places took a few twists and | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
turns. Match of the Day follows the news here on BBC One. If you don't | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
want to know the scores, then now's the time to avert your eyes and | :11:12. | :11:18. | |
Newcastle United are up to fourth in the table, after a convincing | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
victory over Stoke. Spurs, meanwhile, dropped to fifth, | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
after slipping up at Queen's Park Rangers. Rangers are now three | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
points clear of the relegation zone. An impressive win for Blackburn | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
wasn't enough to lift them out of the bottom three. | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
But they climbed above Bolton, who were held to a 1-1 draw by Swansea. | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
Meanwhile, Wigan's survival hopes suffered a setback, after a last | :11:36. | :11:38. | |
minute defeat at Fulham. Elsewhere, the matches at Arsenal, | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
and Aston Villa both finished goalless. | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
In the Championship: Southampton missed the chance to seal promotion, | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
and handed the title to Reading, as they lost 2-1 to Middlesbrough. | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
At the other end of the table: The fate of Portsmouth was confirmed. | :11:51. | :11:53. | |
They went down 2-1 against Derby, and were relegated. | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
As were Coventry. They'll both join Doncaster in | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
League One next season. To Scottish football now. Dundee | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
United edged closer to Champions League football, after victory in | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
the SPL over 10-man St Johnstone. Scott Robertson scored after 32 | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
minutes, and John Rankin got the second in stoppage time, as United | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
leapfrogged their hosts to move within three points of third-placed | :12:11. | :12:17. | |
Motherwell. Elsewhere, there were wins for | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
Rangers and Aberdeen. But Dunfermline remain bottom, despite | :12:19. | :12:27. | |
On Tuesday, Barcelona welcome Chelsea to Camp Nou for the return | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
leg of their Champions League semi- final. But first, Pep Guardiola's | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
side had the small matter of El Classico to deal with. Tonight, | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
Barca hosted Real Madrid, knowing defeat would leave their rivals 7 | :12:37. | :12:47. | |
:12:47. | :12:52. | ||
points clear at the top of La Liga. The greatest club much in the world. | :12:52. | :13:01. | |
Chelsea's task was to spot the witnesses in Barcelona. But here, | :13:01. | :13:10. | |
of Real Madrid went one up. Lionel Messi drove them for it. They had | :13:10. | :13:15. | |
to keep battering at the door and eventually, scrappily, the ball | :13:15. | :13:23. | |
went in. The game was equal for two minutes. Lionel Messi gets so many | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
mentions, the achievements of Cristiano Ronaldo have been almost | :13:26. | :13:36. | |
:13:36. | :13:37. | ||
overlooked. Call number 54, the altar mat. -- goal number 54, the | :13:37. | :13:43. | |
ultimate. So, Barcelona will play Chelsea. Stephen Hendry rolled back | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
the years, to make a breath-taking start at the World Snooker | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
Championships. The 43 year old produced a maximum 147 break in his | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
first round match against Stuart Bingham at the Crucible. The seven- | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
time champion, who's not won the tournament since 1999, leads | :13:55. | :14:02. | |
Bingham by 7 frames to 1. In Rugby Union's Premiership: | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
Harlequins and Leicester played out a classic at the Stoop. The Tigers | :14:05. | :14:11. | |
recovered from a 13 points deficit, to beat the league leaders 43-33. | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
Thomas Waldrom's second try of the game sealed the win, and saw | :14:14. | :14:19. | |
Leicester leapfrog Saracens into second place. | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
In tennis: Great Britain's women trail Sweden by two rubbers to nil, | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
in their Fed Cup World Group two play-off. GB's number one, Elena | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
Baltacha, lost in straight sets to Joanna Larsson. While Anne | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
Keothavong lost to Sofia Arvidsson, once again in straight sets. | :14:34. | :14:39. | |
That's all from the BBC Sport Centre. | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
A reminder of the main news tonight. Violence continues in Bahrain, | :14:42. | :14:49. | |
ahead of tomorrow's Grand Prix. A protester is killed and the British | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
government urges restraint. You can see more on all of today's stories | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
on the BBC News Channel. From me and the team here, | :14:55. | :15:05. | |
:15:05. | :15:10. | ||
Good evening. If you think you've seen a lot of rain over the last | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
few days, think again, wait until next week, it could be better. | :15:15. | :15:20. | |
There have been some heavy showers. They are fading away but some will | :15:20. | :15:26. | |
linger in parts of northern England in particular. And some showers | :15:26. | :15:31. | |
along the southern coastal areas. It could turn quite chilly, in some | :15:31. | :15:37. | |
rural areas not far from freezing. There is a chance a few showers | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
could move into London in the morning. But it should be a bright | :15:41. | :15:47. | |
and cold start for the London Marathon. Difficult to pinpoint the | :15:47. | :15:53. | |
detail but many of us will catch a shower and they could be heavy. | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
Some bright weather across Scotland. Grey and damp over the east coast. | :15:57. | :16:03. | |
A lot of showers for northern England into Eastern Counties. | :16:03. | :16:09. | |
Temperatures up and down, 14 the best in the sunshine. Across the | :16:09. | :16:14. |
