The European Union is threatening to impose new sanctions against Russia

:00:00.:00:32.

David Cameron has warned there would be consequences if troops were not

:00:33.:00:49.

removed from Ukraine while the Lithuanian Prime Minister has said

:00:50.:00:54.

Russia's practically at war with Europe. Fears were expressed at this

:00:55.:00:58.

summit in Brussels but the crisis in Ukraine could reach the point of no

:00:59.:01:02.

return. The mood was perhaps best summed up by the French President

:01:03.:01:07.

Francois Hollande, who said, are we going to allow the situation in

:01:08.:01:11.

Ukraine to worsen until it leads to war? In Ukraine, the fighting

:01:12.:01:17.

intensifies. Ukrainians claim Russia is sending more troops and military

:01:18.:01:21.

equipment into the East of the country. This was Donetsk railway

:01:22.:01:26.

station today after the area and a neighbouring market were hit by

:01:27.:01:32.

shells. The crisis overshadowed a European summit in Brussels where

:01:33.:01:35.

leaders are discussing deepening sanctions against Russia. One lady

:01:36.:01:39.

described it as the biggest crisis since the end of the Cold War. --

:01:40.:01:45.

one leader. Others called it a threat to Europe. Practically rushes

:01:46.:01:49.

in a state of war against Europe. And David had this message for

:01:50.:01:56.

Vladimir Putin. We have to address the unacceptable situation of having

:01:57.:02:00.

Russian troops on Ukrainian soil. Countries in Europe should not have

:02:01.:02:04.

to think long before realising how unacceptable that is. We know that

:02:05.:02:08.

from our history and consequences must follow. The Prime Minister met

:02:09.:02:13.

with Ukrainian President who was attending the summit. He gave this

:02:14.:02:17.

assessment of what his country was facing. Thousands of foreign troops

:02:18.:02:22.

and hundreds of foreign tanks now in the territory of Ukraine. European

:02:23.:02:26.

officials did not disguise the seriousness of the crisis. We are in

:02:27.:02:32.

a very serious, I would say dramatic, situation. We may see a

:02:33.:02:39.

situation where we reached the point of no return. For the expressions of

:02:40.:02:46.

concern, it is not clear if European leaders will go further than asking

:02:47.:02:50.

officials to prepare a new round of sanctions against Russia. And in

:02:51.:02:55.

truth there are divisions here. There are plenty of voices pushing

:02:56.:02:59.

for a deepening of sanctions, but there are others who say that

:03:00.:03:02.

further sanctions will only damage to their fragile economies and will

:03:03.:03:06.

not necessarily force President Putin to back down.

:03:07.:03:11.

A European arrest warrant has been issued for the parents

:03:12.:03:26.

of a five-year-old boy who's been taken out of hospital against

:03:27.:03:29.

advice. Five-year-old Ashya King has a brain tumour and there are serious

:03:30.:03:33.

concerns for his health. The search has now moved to Marbella in

:03:34.:03:36.

southern Spain where the family are known to have property. Tom Burridge

:03:37.:03:39.

It is more than two days since the parents of Ashya King removed him

:03:40.:03:49.

from the hospital in Southampton and the focus of the search has moved to

:03:50.:03:53.

southern Spain. Police told me there have been no sightings of the family

:03:54.:03:56.

in Spain but they have strong connections to the Costa Del Sol and

:03:57.:03:59.

that is why Hampshire police believe they could be coming to this area.

:04:00.:04:06.

Today, no sign of the King family at their holiday apartment on the Costa

:04:07.:04:10.

Del Sol. Hampshire police have asked their colleagues in Spain to help

:04:11.:04:16.

with the search. This family video shows them on a recent trip to this

:04:17.:04:20.

part of Spain. They are believed to be travelling in the same grey

:04:21.:04:23.

coloured Hyundai and it is their connection with this part of the

:04:24.:04:27.

country that has led Hampshire police to believe he could be here.

:04:28.:04:33.

Again the force underlined how critical time is. This is a critical

:04:34.:04:39.

situation for the child. The battery on the feeding system will have

:04:40.:04:43.

expired. Unless they have the right connections to plug the pump in and

:04:44.:04:46.

charge that battery, even if they have, it really does take medical

:04:47.:04:50.

training to deliver the proper care, the proper feeding that Ashya King

:04:51.:04:56.

needs. This is how the search for him moved to Spain. At 2 o'clock on

:04:57.:05:01.

Thursday, his parents moved him from Southampton general hospital. At 4

:05:02.:05:04.

o'clock is whole family went to Portsmouth where they got on a ferry

:05:05.:05:08.

to France. At eight o'clock on Thursday night, the hospital in

:05:09.:05:11.

Southampton alerted police that he was missing but by that time the

:05:12.:05:16.

family was in France. Interpol issued a global alert and this

:05:17.:05:21.

morning Hampshire police say the family are believed to be in Spain.

:05:22.:05:25.

Nobody knows why his parents took him from the hospital but there is

:05:26.:05:29.

no suggestion they have broken the law. Police say the priority was not

:05:30.:05:34.

why he was taken, just a question of finding him, which is why the focus

:05:35.:05:38.

on Spain is so important. The story of the missing boy has led to huge

:05:39.:05:43.

interest, especially across social media. Not only have the police been

:05:44.:05:49.

using it to find Ashya King, but a family friend asked people not to

:05:50.:05:53.

judge his parents, describing them as a loving family. But there is

:05:54.:05:58.

frustration among the police as to why it is taking so long.

:05:59.:06:03.

David Cameron and Nick Clegg will have talks this weekend on the

:06:04.:06:06.

Government's response to the raised threat of terrorism in the UK.

:06:07.:06:09.

The level was increased from substantial to severe yesterday

:06:10.:06:11.

amid growing concern about British citizens joining the conflicts

:06:12.:06:13.

Our political correspondent Vicki Young reports.

:06:14.:06:22.

The fighting in Syria and Iraq is not a foreign conflict that Britain

:06:23.:06:28.

can ignore, according to David Cameron. He says there is a

:06:29.:06:32.

home-grown threat from terrorists returning from Jihadi is in the

:06:33.:06:37.

areas. Today he said he would tackle the problem head on. Today in

:06:38.:06:43.

Brussels is an opportunity to talk with other European leaders and make

:06:44.:06:47.

sure we all communicate to stop people travelling to Iraq and

:06:48.:06:51.

Syria, to confront extremism, and that is what we are tackling today.

:06:52.:06:56.

Writing in the Independent, the Labour leader said:

:06:57.:06:58.

Writing in the Independent, the Labour leader said:

:06:59.:07:06.

These gave authorities the power to put suspects under close supervision

:07:07.:07:12.

and relocate them to towns far from their home that they were abandoned

:07:13.:07:16.

by the coalition after the courts ruled against them and they were

:07:17.:07:20.

replaced by less restrictive measures. Some experts in terror law

:07:21.:07:24.

believe it is time to beef up the rules once again. In particular the

:07:25.:07:29.

power to compel people to relocate and have very limited internet

:07:30.:07:35.

access is very important. So far the Prime Minister has talked about new

:07:36.:07:40.

laws to make it easier to take people's passports away. On Monday

:07:41.:07:43.

he will tell MPs whether he is prepared to go further.

:07:44.:07:48.

Members of the Co-op Group have voted overwhelmingly in favour

:07:49.:07:50.

of radically changing the way it's managed.

:07:51.:07:57.

At a Special General Meeting, a proposal to make

:07:58.:07:59.

the board more commercially focussed needed the approval of

:08:00.:08:01.

The Co-op Group has been in turmoil over the past year

:08:02.:08:06.

after a ?1.5 billion financial hole was discovered in its accounts.

:08:07.:08:10.

Football now, and in the Premier League defending

:08:11.:08:12.

champions Manchester City have suffered a surprise home defeat

:08:13.:08:14.

Meanwhile Manchester United are still looking for

:08:15.:08:17.

their first victory of the season after failing to beat Burnley.

:08:18.:08:20.

In Burnley, town founded on weaving, Manchester United introduce a player

:08:21.:08:31.

to stop them unravelling. Three minutes into Di Maria's debut, he

:08:32.:08:38.

was watching Jones hit his bar. His colleagues were nervous but Di Maria

:08:39.:08:42.

found his range. He picked out Robin van Persie but Heaton stopped him

:08:43.:08:48.

scoring. Burnley held them off and even pushed them off at times. No

:08:49.:08:53.

goals in the first half. Louis van Gaal has said the Manchester United

:08:54.:08:56.

revival might take time. They did not seem in much of a hurry here.

:08:57.:09:01.

Jung pleaded for a penalty, this time for handball and again it was a

:09:02.:09:08.

no. Burnley, newly promoted to the Premier League, were competent and

:09:09.:09:12.

capable. They continued to test well worn United nerves. United have two

:09:13.:09:22.

points and their mood is considerably darker than

:09:23.:09:23.
