Good afternoon. The captain of the South Korean ferry which capsized | :00:19. | :00:24. | |
with hundreds of school students on board has been explaining his | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
decision not to order everyone to leave the ship at once. The captain, | :00:28. | :00:35. | |
who's under arrest said he'd feared that the strong currents in the sea | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
made evacuation too great a risk. Efforts to recover more bodies from | :00:40. | :00:41. | |
the ship are continuing. 270 passengers are still missing. At | :00:42. | :00:48. | |
least 32 bodies have been recovered so far. Martin Patience reports. For | :00:49. | :00:57. | |
four days now, waiting the good news that has never come. Some relatives | :00:58. | :01:05. | |
are quiet. Others are distraught. Knowing the chances of finding | :01:06. | :01:12. | |
anyone alive are now remote. A few take out and on rescue officials, | :01:13. | :01:20. | |
such is their despair. The families watch live pictures of the operation | :01:21. | :01:27. | |
at sea. Battling strong currents, divers continue the search for the | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
hundreds of students trapped inside the ferry. The captain, now under | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
arrest, has explained what he didn't order an immediate evacuation. | :01:37. | :01:45. | |
TRANSLATION: At the time, the current was very strong. The | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
temperature of the ocean water was cold and I thought that if people | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
left the ferry without proper judgement, if they were not wearing | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
a life jacket, and even if they were, they would drift away and face | :01:56. | :02:03. | |
many other difficulties. One father can't forget the last phone call | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
from his daughter. She told him water was pouring in. TRANSLATION: I | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
just said, keep calm. Because of her stupid father... If I had told to | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
jump out of the boat, she would have survived. But I told her to keep | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
calm. Because of me, she is out there. This is a reminder of the | :02:25. | :02:31. | |
scale of this disaster. The authorities have brought in dozens | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
of ambulances down to the port side for win more bodies are brought in. | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
They have also set up a huge white tent over my shoulder which will act | :02:39. | :02:45. | |
as a temporary morgue. Some still pray that survivors will be found. | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
But others are coming to terms with their loss. It is darkness now in | :02:49. | :02:57. | |
gender. As we saw in your report, hope turning to anger among many | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
relatives. All that while more bodies are brought off the wreck. | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
Yes, officially this remains a search and rescue operation but it | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
is day four of the disaster. For many families there is a growing | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
realisation that their sons and daughters and other relatives will | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
not be coming home. In the last half an hour, the Coast Guard has brought | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
ashore three more bodies, and that is likely to be a pattern that will | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
continue over the coming days. What more do we know about what actually | :03:32. | :03:39. | |
caused his wreck? More details are emerging. It was a junior officer | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
who was at the helm of the ferry and prosecutors say they are | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
investigating whether a sharp turn made by the ferry may have caused it | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
to capsize. Others are suggesting that perhaps cargo loosened and that | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
made the ship list beyond the point of no return. There are also | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
suggestions that the ferry may have hit a rock or reef but until now | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
there has been no official confirmation on the cause of the | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
crash. Thank you. Police in Northern Ireland have | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
arrested a 26-year-old man in connection with the murder of a | :04:12. | :04:13. | |
former dissident republican leader in Belfast. It's understood that | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
Tommy Crossan was shot several times. He was once a senior figure | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
in the Continuity IRA, but had received death threats after | :04:23. | :04:24. | |
disagreements with other members of the organisation. | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
A seven year old boy who was badly burned in an Aberdeen street has | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
been moved to a specialist hospital unit where he is in a critical | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
condition. Preston Flores was found by neighbours "on fire" at two | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
o'clock yesterday afternoon. Police are investigating whether petrol | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
could have been involved but say there is "no evidence so far of any | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
deliberate act". Teachers are expected to back fresh | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
walk-outs in the summer if progress is not made in resolving the dispute | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
over pay, pensions and conditions. Delegates at the NUT annual | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
conference will debate further industrial action this afternoon. | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
Our Education Correspondent, Reeta Chakrabarti, is at the Conference in | :05:10. | :05:19. | |
Brighton for us now. Yes, delegates will vote on further strike action | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
to be carried out in June, they will vote on that this afternoon. The NUT | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
went out on strike last month in its continuing dispute with the | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
government over pay, pensions and workload and say they could be | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
further strike action if there is no progress in its talk with the | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
government. Meanwhile, at the conference taking place at the same | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
time in Birmingham, the Shadow Education Secretary Tristram Hunt | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
has linked allegations that Muslim hardliners seeking to take over some | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
of Birmingham's schools where the government's academies programme. He | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
condemned what he called narrow religious motives and said academy | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
's, which are independent of local authority control, should be | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
overseen at a local level. It is unclear how many of the schools is | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
being investigated are academies. There are several enquiries going on | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
to try and establish the truth of the allegations. | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
The England cricket team has a new coach. He's Peter Moores - and takes | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
charge of a squad battered by last year's disastrous Ashes series. But | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
Moores is no stranger to the job, having coached the team previously. | :06:28. | :06:29. | |
Our Sports Correspondent Ben Smith is at Lords. How big a challenge | :06:30. | :06:39. | |
ahead? It's a huge challenge, after a winter that English cricket is | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
doing its best to forget. You mention the human elation at the | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
hands of Australia in the Ashes, there was also embarrassment at the | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
hands of lowly Holland in Bangladesh. But here at Lord's there | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
was a hope and belief that maybe this is the start of a new era, | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
chance to wipe the slate clean up so much disappointment. I started by | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
speaking to the new coach Peter Moores and asked how he would lift | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
the spirits of the English players after that winter. To play for | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
England is very special, if it's not, you shouldn't be playing for | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
England. If it ever becomes a normal day, we have picked the wrong | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
person. I don't see it as my response ability to lift them, it is | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
their responsibility to be lifted, it is the job of the coach and | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
captain to connect them to make sure we are part of something together | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
because then we can be a force. One player who went been bold is Kevin | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
Pietersen. His name was on the lips of everyone today but it was clear | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
both from Peter Moores and from the managing director of the ECB that | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
Kevin Pietersen will no longer play for England, that message couldn't | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
have been clearer. England are looking to the future and hope this | :07:52. | :07:58. | |
is the start of the new dawn. A family's outing to Longleat Safari | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
Park took a dramatic turn when their car caught fire in the lion | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
enclosure. Witnesses captured the moment yesterday when the car | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
overheated and burst into flames. Rangers rescued a woman and two | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
children from the car, after clearing the lions from the | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
enclosure. A spokesman from the park said the blaze was put out quickly, | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
and that no people - or lions - were hurt. | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have paid tribute to Australia's air | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
force during the latest leg of their tour of the country. William and | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
Kate both took to the cockpit of a fighter jet while visiting an air | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
base in Brisbane. From there, our Royal Correspondent Nicholas | :08:34. | :08:40. | |
Witchell reports. They are the Royal Australian air | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
force and their loyalty is to the Crown, just as it has been for | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
generations. 100 years ago Australian servicemen fought in the | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
First World War in the name of William's great-great-grandfather | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
George V and within Australia... Defence forces, the link to the | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
Crown is still strong. William and Catherine were given a ceremonial | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
welcome to a huge Royal Australian Air Force Base near Brisbane in | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
Queensland. Temperatures were in the 80s, light-coloured summer dress was | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
Kate's choice, ideal for the heat. Not such a good choice, you might | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
think, for climbing into the cockpit of a jet fighter, but somehow she | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
managed it. In the memorial garden, the couple planted a tree in | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
remembrance of the limbs of the Australian air forces fought | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
alongside Britain and had given their lives, another reminder of | :09:34. | :09:39. | |
heritage that has been shared. Then the other side of a royal visit, the | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
walkabout and the public fascination with this couple. Several thousand | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
had enjoyed a long wait in the sun in central Brisbane. In truth, the | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
area of the walkabout was just a few hundred metres, not much space but | :09:54. | :10:01. | |
plenty of enthusiasm. The latest on the royal tour there. | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
That's all from me. The next news on BBC One is at 6.40pm, but there's | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
more throughout the day on the BBC News Channel. Goodbye. | :10:09. | :10:25. | |
A lot of dry weather out there which won't disappoint for this is to | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
weekend but I suspect the feel of the weather might disappoint one or | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
two. Some sunny spells around but a breeze coming in off the North Sea, | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
bear that in mind if you are | :10:39. | :10:39. |
