More anti-terror raids in Belgium, as police investigating last weeks | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
bomb attacks, detain four more people. | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
But riot police use water cannon, to push back far right protestors | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
Huge crowds line the streets of Dublin, to mark the centenary | :00:15. | :00:27. | |
of the Easter rising against British rule. | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
One of the main teaching unions says schools have become "exam factories" | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
and SATs for 11-year-olds should be scrapped. | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
And Cambridge make it look easy, comfortably beating Oxford in this | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
Police in Belgium have carried out 13 separate raids in the hunt | :00:44. | :01:12. | |
for more suspects, after last week's bomb attacks at Brussels Airport | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
Also today water cannon was used to disperse far right demonstrators, | :01:16. | :01:25. | |
who disrupted commemorative events taking place in Brussels, | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
Some of whom were confronting Moslem women who were paying respects to | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
the people who died. Belgians of all creeds and colours, | :01:36. | :01:46. | |
they all came together today. They had been told not to march so they | :01:47. | :01:53. | |
gathered quietly. Suddenly, the serenity was shattered. Far right | :01:54. | :02:02. | |
thugs seizing the opportunity. A couple of hundred had come from | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
outside Brussels to spread their anti-immigrant message will stop | :02:06. | :02:13. | |
this man tried to stop them trampling the memorial. He was | :02:14. | :02:20. | |
assaulted. Police reinforcements arrived. Officers here are | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
overstretched already by the terror alerts. The riot squad moved in and | :02:24. | :02:33. | |
there were cheers. The thugs beat a hasty retreat. Calm has returned | :02:34. | :02:42. | |
here and people are actually restoring the tributes they had left | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
ear which were damaged. The scenes here were a Jack Leach -- were | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
exactly what the Belgian authorities had hoped to avoid. In the | :02:53. | :02:59. | |
cathedral, they paused as well. The city's Archbishop said that the | :03:00. | :03:08. | |
attacks were worse than criminal. TRANSLATION: In a society, the | :03:09. | :03:16. | |
beauty is that we live together. In Italy, another arrest. An Algerian | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
man accused of providing false identity papers for the Brussels and | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
Paris attackers. The far right thugs gone, Belgians in Brussels formed a | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
human chain to show that they stand together against terrorism and | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
racism. There has been no letup in the police investigation. Raids | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
continued today. Nine people were taken in today and four are still | :03:46. | :03:46. | |
being held. At least 50 people | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
have been killed this evening, and many others injured, | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
in an explosion at a park Police have told the BBC it appeared | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
to be a suicide bombing, detonated a short distance | :03:58. | :04:06. | |
from a children's play area. Many of the injured are | :04:07. | :04:08. | |
women and children. Hundreds of thousands of people have | :04:09. | :04:10. | |
lined the streets of Dublin, for commemorative events marking | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
the centenary of the Easter Rising. The failed rebellion against British | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
rule in 1916 left almost 500 dead, for the creation of an independent | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
republic. Here's our Ireland | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
Correspondent Chris Buckler. A century after it was at the centre | :04:27. | :04:40. | |
of conflict, O'Connell Street has become a place to remember The | :04:41. | :04:49. | |
Rising. In 1916, the rebellion's leaders took over the General Post | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
Office and made it that military headquarters. It was here they | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
announced their revolt with the proclamation. We hear by reclaim the | :05:00. | :05:06. | |
Irish Republic as a sovereign, independent state and we pledge our | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
lives and the lives of our comrades in arms to the cause of its freedom. | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
Lives were lost in the six days of battle that followed. Today's parade | :05:17. | :05:24. | |
past sites where British soldiers, Irish volunteers and civilians were | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
killed. By the time the rising was defeated, much of Dublin had been | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
destroyed. But the principles at the heart of that for Irish independence | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
are a source of pride for the relatives of those revolutionaries. | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
What this day means for me? I couldn't explain that to you. It's | :05:46. | :05:53. | |
total... I probably feel I've been living for it all my life. Many wore | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
medals that have been given to recognise the actions of their | :06:00. | :06:08. | |
relatives in 1916. We are Irish and we have fought against oppression | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
for all those years. A final bid to get our freedom. It was the | :06:12. | :06:18. | |
execution of the rising's leaders that caused anger and led the way | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
for independence. They were honoured today. In the jail where many were | :06:24. | :06:34. | |
shot dead. My uncle lost his life. Has all been forgiven and forgotten? | :06:35. | :06:48. | |
Of course. It has to be. For some, that battle against British rule | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
remains divisive history but, from it, emerged a nation. It is no | :06:53. | :06:59. | |
surprise that there are sensitivities given the deaths on | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
both sides but it is worth noting that senior Northern Ireland | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
politicians said that they were not prepared to attend the | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
commemorations in in Dublin. The British government has made a point | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
of praising the Irish government for the inclusive nature of the | :07:16. | :07:16. | |
centenary events. Syrian Government forces have vowed | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
to continue their advance against so-called Islamic | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
State after recapturing Gunfire has been reported in some | :07:27. | :07:28. | |
areas, but the bulk of IS fighters The Islamists overran | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
the city last May. The three-week battle for Palmyra | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
appears to be all but over. Syrian state television | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
and other local channels have shown soldiers patrolling the streets | :07:42. | :07:43. | |
of the modern city today. As with other IS-held towns, | :07:44. | :07:45. | |
progress is cautious, navigating the bombs and booby-traps | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
the jihadists have left behind. It is not only a strategic | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
victory for the government but a propaganda coup | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
for President Bashar al-Assad Mr Assad was quoted on state TV | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
as telling a visiting delegation that the recapture | :08:01. | :08:12. | |
of Palmyra showed the success of the strategy pursued | :08:13. | :08:14. | |
by the Syrian army and its allies in the war | :08:15. | :08:16. | |
against terrorism. World attention was focused | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
on Palmyra for one reason - the fabled ruins | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
of a 2,000-year-old city The columns still stand, | :08:24. | :08:25. | |
but no one yet knows how much damage IS has done since it seized control | :08:26. | :08:32. | |
of the ancient city last May. The jihadists taunted world opinion | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
by carrying out and filming a mass killing in the Roman theatre, | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
and the destruction For IS, the loss of Palmyra follows | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
that of Ramadi over the border It is another big blow | :08:45. | :08:52. | |
to the jihadists' aura after the death | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
of a seven-year-old girl, who died when the bouncy | :08:58. | :09:06. | |
castle she was playing on Winds carried her across a park, | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
at an Easter fair in Harlow. She was treated by paramedics | :09:10. | :09:17. | |
but later died in hospital. A man and a woman have been arrested | :09:18. | :09:19. | |
on suspicion of manslaughter Teachers have called for a ballot | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
over testing in primary schools Delegates at the | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
National Union of Teachers conference in Brighton,say schools | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
have become "exam factories" and the NUT wants this year's SATs | :09:34. | :09:34. | |
tests for 11-year-olds Ministers however say it's essential | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
all children leave primary school with a good grasp | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
of English and maths. Here's our Education | :09:43. | :09:44. | |
Editor Branwen Jeffreys. End of term and a bit of dressing up | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
for a project that these pupils in Brighton have spent weeks | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
doing practice tests. The end of primary Sats tests | :09:54. | :10:01. | |
are different this year. More arithmetic | :10:02. | :10:03. | |
and much more English grammar. Changes that teachers | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
have been trying There are three questions | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
and you have to tick whether the conjunction | :10:10. | :10:16. | |
is used as a subordinating And afterwards | :10:17. | :10:18. | |
parents were saying to me that they weren't | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
sure which was which. Actually, that went | :10:22. | :10:23. | |
out for homework. The tests that year six children | :10:24. | :10:24. | |
will be taken are meant to be harder, the idea is to drive up | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
standards but the questions have left some parents baffled and some | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
teachers worried that the tests For the first time this | :10:32. | :10:33. | |
year, any child that doesn't meet the expected level | :10:34. | :10:42. | |
will have to resit when they get Today at their conference, | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
teachers said that it Passive voice, active voice, | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
or, if you're a year This risks setting some children up | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
to fail but ministers argue it's about making sure | :10:55. | :11:01. | |
they are equipped to succeed. We're raising expectations, | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
we don't apologise for that. We need to make sure | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
that our children leave primary school as fluent readers, | :11:09. | :11:17. | |
that they're fluent in arithmetic that they know their times | :11:18. | :11:19. | |
tables and they are being taught grammar for the first | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
time in generations. This year five class won't sit | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
the tests until next year education officials say they are working | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
with teachers to smooth Religious and political leaders have | :11:30. | :11:31. | |
used their Easter messages to call for hope, | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
in the face of terror and violence. In Rome, Pope Francis said people | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
shouldn't let fear imprison them, a thought echoed in a sermon | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
by the Archbishop of Canterbury, And David Cameron says | :11:44. | :11:45. | |
the UK should stand together, Here's our | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
Religious Affairs Correspondent, On a square bathed in sunshine, | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
the pilgrims gathered to hear a message of hope after a week | :11:53. | :12:05. | |
in the shadow of death. This, the Easter celebration | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
of the risen Christ, Pope Francis reminded the faithful | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
not to forget the migrants, the men, women and children | :12:13. | :12:19. | |
fleeing from war. Then, from the balcony, | :12:20. | :12:21. | |
he urged the faithful to use the weapon of love, as Christ did, | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
and fight the evil of terrorism TRANSLATION: May he draw us closer | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
on this Easter feast to the victims of terrorism, | :12:28. | :12:38. | |
that blind, brutal form of violence which continues | :12:39. | :12:40. | |
to shed blood on different parts It was a theme echoed | :12:41. | :12:42. | |
by the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby said that, | :12:43. | :12:49. | |
after Brussels, hope could seem far away with fear | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
a natural human reaction. But, he told worshippers, | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
Jesus Christ overcame death Easter proclaims to others in flesh | :13:00. | :13:02. | |
and blood that fear and death God has spoken life | :13:03. | :13:14. | |
hope and purpose. The Royal family attended | :13:15. | :13:21. | |
their Easter service at Saint George's Chapel in Windsor | :13:22. | :13:30. | |
with a spring bouquet for the Queen as she emerged | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
into the unexpected sunshine. And at the 162nd Boat Race, | :13:34. | :13:41. | |
Cambridge's men claimed their first win | :13:42. | :13:44. | |
for four years in tricky In the women's race, | :13:45. | :13:45. | |
Oxford made it four wins in a row after the Cambridge boat almost sank | :13:46. | :13:51. | |
in the latter stages. It seemed anyone watching, | :13:52. | :13:53. | |
never mind taking part in the boat race, | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
would need oilskins and an anchor. By the time the women's | :13:59. | :14:01. | |
race started in its second year on the famous course, | :14:02. | :14:03. | |
the skies were clear but the wind In such conditions, | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
it's about plotting a path, Oxford headed for the safe shallows, | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
Cambridge almost succumbed By the time Oxford crossed the line | :14:13. | :14:15. | |
for a fourth straight win, Cambridge were more concerned | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
with staying afloat. That they managed it, | :14:21. | :14:22. | |
was in itself a form of triumph. The men could use that | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
as a cautionary tale for their race. Cambridge had lost the last three, | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
so they made their move over At times, it became | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
about hanging on and hoping. These are not waters | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
to give chase in. Oxford fought their bodies | :14:40. | :14:42. | |
and the current to stay in touch Coming out here and winning | :14:43. | :14:50. | |
is a feeling like nothing I've ever experienced. | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
I'm just really humbled. It's a lot of hard work. | :14:56. | :14:56. | |
It's nine months. We wanted it more today. | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
All the guys did a great job. These were the boat races | :15:00. | :15:02. | |
when the river fought back. To all crews' credit, | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
there were no sinkings but tradition has it that not everyone | :15:07. | :15:09. | |
can stay out of the Thames. There's more throughout the evening | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
on the BBC News Channel, and we'll be back with | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
the late news at Ten. | :15:18. | :15:20. |
