Good evening. West African leaders meeting in Paris have promised to | :00:21. | :00:27. | |
wage total war on the Islamists who kidnapped more than 200 girls in | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
Nigeria last month. The Foreign Secretary, William Hague, urged West | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
African nations to develop closer ties if they want to defeat Boko | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
Haram. The leader of the most populist | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
country in Africa, but how much of the north-east of Nigeria does | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
Goodluck Jonathan control? As the president arrived for the summit | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
this afternoon, Boko Haram was wreaking more havoc in Nigeria and | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
Cameroon. It underlines the regional nature of this threat. We need all | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
of those countries to be bringing together their intelligence and | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
information. So that this is very relevant to finding the schoolgirls, | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
not just to the long-term defeat of Boko Haram. To that end, the five | :01:12. | :01:18. | |
West African nation as greed to coordinate patrols and pool | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
intelligence. It's been five weeks since the girls went missing. It is | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
likely they've been split into smaller groups and moved across the | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
borders. That's one of the reasons why you | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
see all of us here meeting with the president of France to see how we | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
can work together, have a joint team that will see movement to any | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
countries. In a way today's summit has delivered a meaningful result | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
that. Is getting Nigeria and Cameroon, the two biggest countries, | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
around the same table to discuss the problem. Politically speaking, they | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
don't see eye to eye. One French official told us, until now, | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
Cameroon has been largely ignoring the problem, despite a growing | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
number of attacks within its own borders. This French priest, | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
kidnapped in Cameroon and held for two months, says finding the | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
schoolgirls won't be easy. In his experience, the fighters move at | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
night, and the Nigerians, he says, aren't up to the task. They are | :02:13. | :02:21. | |
afraid to fight them on the ground, so they bomb by day, but traffic | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
comes in the evening and there was no plane. Western surveillance is | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
now in place, but does it re-assure the families who wait? Nigeria has | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
ruled out a prisoner swap and there's been no progress in five | :02:34. | :02:40. | |
weeks. Members of the Co-operative Group | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
have unanimously backed plans to change the way the organisation is | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
run. The decision follows a disastrous year in which the company | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
reported losses of 2. .5 billion. The shake up was proposed by Lord | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
Myners who today welcomed the vote. Our business correspondent reports. | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
From across the country, they came to Manchester this morning to Sov a | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
battered -- tharning to save a battered business. Today's vote | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
marks the start of a long and painful process of reform. There is | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
a lot to do, some of it we can do straight away. Some of it will take | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
a little more time. There is some that is urgent and we have to get on | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
with that straight away. The unanimous vote surprised even the | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
man, whose damning report highlighted the need for massive | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
reform. 100% vote is extraordinary. I thought the vote would be closer | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
than this. It's a message to the board and to the management that | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
they should come together rapidly with a set of proposals. But what | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
exactly has been agreed? There'll be new directors with more cooperate | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
experience. Members will have powers to hold the board to account. | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
They'll get a vote each e, rather than electing officials to vote on | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
their behalf. What difference will that have on the day-to-day | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
business? One of the biggest independent cooperatives says the | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
challenge is rebuilding trust amongst members. They have got to be | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
sure it's an organisation which reflects their values, which they're | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
proud of. I'm confident in a few months' time that feeling will | :04:20. | :04:28. | |
re-e-Americaning. -- re-emerge. The vote is significant it isn't | :04:29. | :04:36. | |
binding. There is likely to be job cuts, store closures and difficult | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
decisions about the Co-op's founding values. Winning support for those | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
could be more difficult Jubilant crowds have greeted India's | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
new Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, after a crushing victory by his | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
party, the BJP. Thousands of people, waving flags and chanting slogans | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
lined the streets of Delhi. Later he greeted supporters in the holy city | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
and offered prayers on the banks of the river Ganges. | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
Turkey this afternoon ended its rescue mission in the nation's worst | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
mining disaster. The bodies of two more miners were recovered from the | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
Soma mine, bringing the death toll to 301. 485 miners escaped or were | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
rescued from the fire that devastated the mine in Soma in | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
western Turkey. The chief executive of the Premier | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
League, Richard Scudamore, is facing further calls to resign following | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
sexist comments he made in a series of leaked, private e-mails. Heather | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
Rabbatts, the Football Association's independent board member, says | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
there's growing evidence of a closed culture of sexism and that there | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
needs to be a review of how the Premier League is governed. | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
Scientists in Argentina have discovered bones they believe could | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
have belonged to the largest dinosaurs ever to have walked the | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
earth. The creatures are thought to have had long necks and tails and | :06:02. | :06:10. | |
have weighed around 77 tons. In the plains of Patagonia, | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
Argentinian researchers made the biggest discovery of their lives, | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
quite literally. Some of the largest dinosaur bones ever discovered. Here | :06:20. | :06:28. | |
we have the femur, it's the largest bone from the hip to the knee. The | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
bones are incredibly well preserved. The little bumps on the surface are | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
what's left of the animal's ligaments and muscles. These | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
creatures are thought to have been the biggest ever to have walked the | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
earth. They're believed to have reached six metres in height. At 40 | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
metres in length. They weighed 77 tons, that's about the same as ten | :06:54. | :07:00. | |
fully grown elephants. A BBC natural history unit team obtained this | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
exclusive footage just as the bones were unearthed. Those bones are the | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
ones that are supporting all the body weight. We need to get accurate | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
estimates and measurements of these bones in order to estimate how heavy | :07:17. | :07:23. | |
this animal was. Researchers calculated the size of the dinosaurs | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
by measuring the circumference of the bones. 79. Wow. These animals | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
were the largest of a group called tie tan sores. Titansaurs. They | :07:36. | :07:42. | |
lived 100 million years ago, when giant creatures walked the earth. | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
The FA Cup Final is still under way at Wembley with Arsenal in a fierce | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
battle with Hull City. The score is currently 2-2. | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
They say it's never as good as the first time. For Hull City fans, | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
their first major final gave them plenty of reasons to sing. Inside, | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
nerves were etched on Steve Bruce's face as he led his Tigers into the | :08:08. | :08:14. | |
lions den. Every underdog has their day. Hull's started as lightning | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
speed. A goal straight off the training ground as James chesters' | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
flick gave Hull City a fairy-tale start. Bruce almost couldn't believe | :08:24. | :08:31. | |
it. Arsene Wenger kitto. Arsenal -- ditto. Redenneder Curtis Davies has | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
had a brilliant season and it's t was about to get better. The ecstasy | :08:37. | :08:43. | |
and the agony of football. 2-0 to the Tigers and Hull's plan was | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
working beautifully until Santi Cozorla got this free kick. The | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
clock was ticking down for Arsenal, but with 20 minutes left, they | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
scored again. Arsenal recovering from a nightmare start, 2-2. The | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
game has just finished and it's going to extra time, after Arsenal | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
fought back brilliantly after conceding the fastest pair of goals | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
in a Cup Final for over 100 years. They had the chance to win it too in | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
the last five minutes. Hull just clung on and this brilliant final, | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
well, it's going the distance. Nail-biting stuff. Thanks very much. | :09:23. | :09:29. | |
Earlier, St Johnstone won the Scottish Cup for the first time in | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
their history by beating Dundee United 2-0 at Celtic Park. This | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
report contains flash photography Celtic Park, the venue. But this was | :09:39. | :09:44. | |
very much a tussle. A first Scottish Cup final for St Johnstone. United | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
fans came expecting a celebration. But at the end of a first-half full | :09:50. | :09:56. | |
of chances, Steven Anderson took his and sent the Saints wild. United | :09:57. | :10:03. | |
came out to level. It looked like two for St Johnstone shortly after, | :10:04. | :10:10. | |
but Stevie May's Maradonna impression was spotted. But then the | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
goal that would make history. Steven MacLean the man to double the lead | :10:15. | :10:16. | |
and kickstart a Perthshire party. That's it for now. We're back with | :10:17. | :10:28. | |
the late news at 10. 15pm. Now it's time for the news where you | :10:29. | :10:29. |
