as William Hague called it the biggest crisis in Europe in the

:00:14.:00:17.

21st-century. Russian forces tightened their grip on the Crimea

:00:18.:00:22.

as Moscow says the troops will remain until the political situation

:00:23.:00:25.

normalises. As Ukraine accuses Russian troops of fighting in their

:00:26.:00:30.

airspace, we will have the latest. Also: do you understand the charges,

:00:31.:00:39.

Mr Pistorius? How do you plead? Not guilty, my lady. A neighbour said

:00:40.:00:46.

she had bloodcurdling screams and a gunshot. Royal Military Police

:00:47.:00:49.

officer killed herself because of bullying, the effects of a rape and

:00:50.:00:57.

work-related despair. Prince Harry joined hundreds of people at

:00:58.:00:59.

Westminster Abbey for a memorial service to celebrate the life of

:01:00.:01:04.

Nelson Mandela. And their big night for the Brits at the Oscars as

:01:05.:01:07.

British director Steve McQueen's film wins top prize. I dedicate this

:01:08.:01:14.

award to all the people who have enjoyed slavery and 21 million

:01:15.:01:18.

people who still suffer slavery today. Thank you very much. In the

:01:19.:01:26.

sport, former England defender Sol Campbell has accused the FA of

:01:27.:01:30.

institutional racism. The FA says it is aware of his claims but declined

:01:31.:01:31.

to comment. Good afternoon. The Foreign

:01:32.:01:56.

Secretary William Hague says the situation in Ukraine is the biggest

:01:57.:01:59.

crisis in Europe this century. He has warned Russia of the

:02:00.:02:03.

consequences and costs after Russian troops took control of Ukraine's

:02:04.:02:08.

Black Sea peninsula of Crimea. The Russian Foreign Minister Sokolova

:02:09.:02:12.

Roth says Russia intervened in Ukraine because the lives of its

:02:13.:02:16.

citizens their work under threat. We will be speaking to the latest to

:02:17.:02:21.

promote efforts to resolve the crisis. -- diplomatic efforts. The

:02:22.:02:28.

pride of the Ukrainian navy, on a banner ripped from the wall of the

:02:29.:02:32.

staff headquarters today by a pro-Russian crowd that is fast

:02:33.:02:36.

losing patience. The base is surrounded by Russian soldiers.

:02:37.:02:41.

Yesterday, this man, Admiral Berezovsky, the head of the

:02:42.:02:46.

Ukrainian navy, switched sides, swearing his allegiance to Crimea

:02:47.:02:50.

and Moscow. Today he returned, urging others to follow. But he

:02:51.:02:55.

underestimates the resolve of his successor standing next to him and

:02:56.:03:01.

the men and women he wants command. Together in defiance, they sang the

:03:02.:03:06.

Ukrainian anthem. Ukraine has not yet died, go the words. Nor has Hope

:03:07.:03:11.

Lawrie. But outside, the crowd grew ever more restless. They shouted

:03:12.:03:16.

insults at the young Ukrainian soldiers inside, told me they were

:03:17.:03:23.

staying put. Ukraine. You want Ukraine together? Yes of course. You

:03:24.:03:35.

are not coming out? No. You have do pity the Ukrainian rank and file,

:03:36.:03:38.

their loyalties tested to the limit. Do they go with the officers who

:03:39.:03:43.

have sworn allegiance to the new pro-Russian authorities here or do

:03:44.:03:46.

they resist, as many seem willing to do, in the face of insurmountable

:03:47.:03:52.

odds? Amid the confrontation, a brotherly cap on the hand from a

:03:53.:03:57.

Russian soldier. But there is no sign Moscow is relenting. The

:03:58.:04:02.

Ukrainian coastal division is still pending in and across the peninsula,

:04:03.:04:07.

the troop build-up continues apace. Border guards say they can seems to

:04:08.:04:10.

read peoples massing on the Russian side of the border. Crimea is lost,

:04:11.:04:17.

Kiev knows it, but how far do President Putin's ambitions stretch?

:04:18.:04:24.

With Crimea one, will he turn to eastern Crimea and is there anything

:04:25.:04:29.

to stop him? Our correspondence is in Moscow for

:04:30.:04:34.

us. No sign of Moscow relenting, and no sign of the bullish language

:04:35.:04:37.

coming from Moscow softening in any way. Absolutely not, language

:04:38.:04:43.

remains exactly the same, and the picture which so gay lover of, the

:04:44.:04:51.

Foreign Minister, is portraying, earlier in Geneva, is one way of

:04:52.:04:56.

alleging that neo-Nazi groups and it into the new government in Kiev are

:04:57.:05:06.

spreading out across Ukraine. He alleges they are controlling whole

:05:07.:05:12.

areas of the country, which sounds letters indication for sending

:05:13.:05:17.

troops further beyond Crimea into other areas, eastern Ukraine, to

:05:18.:05:21.

protect Russian speaking citizens and Russian citizens who live in

:05:22.:05:28.

those areas. So there is no dampening down of the rhetoric

:05:29.:05:34.

whatsoever. The key question, as Christian was posing there, will Mr

:05:35.:05:39.

Putin now announce any kind of extension of the military operation?

:05:40.:05:45.

Thank you very much. The UN secretary-general Ban Ki-Moon has

:05:46.:05:48.

called on Russia and Ukraine not to do anything to escalate the tension

:05:49.:05:52.

between the two countries. Diplomatic efforts to resolve the

:05:53.:05:56.

crisis have intensified today, with European Union foreign ministers

:05:57.:05:59.

meeting in Brussels to discuss what sanctions could be taken against

:06:00.:06:06.

Moscow. This was a show of solidarity with

:06:07.:06:12.

Ukraine. In Kiev, William Hague visited the shrine spilled on the

:06:13.:06:16.

spot where dozens died as protests turn deadly. Then a show of support

:06:17.:06:21.

the new interim government here. Kiev has been calling for

:06:22.:06:25.

international pressure on Russia, whose troops now occupy part of its

:06:26.:06:29.

territory. William Hague says a response was needed. If this

:06:30.:06:35.

situation cannot be resolved, if Russia cannot be persuaded to

:06:36.:06:39.

respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine,

:06:40.:06:42.

they will have to be other consequences and other costs. But he

:06:43.:06:48.

ruled out military support Ukraine, talking of diplomatic and economic

:06:49.:06:52.

pressure alone. Yet in the Crimea, Russian troops have already

:06:53.:06:58.

effectively taken over. Ukraine is ethnically diverse. In the West, the

:06:59.:07:02.

majority are Ukrainian speakers, many look to Europe for their

:07:03.:07:06.

future. In parts of the East, Russian speakers dominate and in the

:07:07.:07:10.

Crimea, almost 60% are ethnic Russians. Moscow now insists it is

:07:11.:07:15.

acting to protect Russian speakers in the Crimea. TRANSLATION: This is

:07:16.:07:21.

a matter of defending our citizens and compatriots, defending the most

:07:22.:07:25.

important human rights, the right to life. The Ukrainian prime minister

:07:26.:07:30.

has issued another urgent call for sons to pull back in the Crimea and

:07:31.:07:37.

is appealing to these national community to force Russia to do

:07:38.:07:40.

that. So far, although have been strong words.

:07:41.:07:45.

Foreign ministers have been gathering in Brussels to discuss the

:07:46.:07:48.

crisis. That speak to our Europe correspondent. What kind of action

:07:49.:07:55.

could they take? The main concern here is the way the rhetoric is

:07:56.:07:59.

going up on both sides, and Ukraine and Russia seemed to be talking at

:08:00.:08:02.

each other rather than talking to each other. The first thing I think

:08:03.:08:07.

European foreign ministers want to try to do is set up some sort of

:08:08.:08:12.

mediation, some dialogue and get that going. The German Foreign

:08:13.:08:16.

Minister going into the meeting he said the crisis diplomacy is not a

:08:17.:08:20.

weakness, and we need to get them talking, to prevent some sort of

:08:21.:08:26.

mistake spreading into some sort of military conflict. The second issue

:08:27.:08:31.

is the longer-term issue. If Russia doesn't change course, we heard that

:08:32.:08:34.

from William Hague, what are the consequences going to be? What

:08:35.:08:39.

economic sanctions could be brought to bear by Europe against Russia?

:08:40.:08:43.

That is not a discussion for conclusion today, at the moment the

:08:44.:08:47.

focus is on trying to get people to step back from the brink. Thank you.

:08:48.:08:52.

You can get continuous live coverage and analysis on the situation in

:08:53.:08:54.

Ukraine on our website. The Paralympic athlete Oscar

:08:55.:09:08.

Pistorius has gone on trial this morning, charged with the murder of

:09:09.:09:12.

his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. The stories, known as the Blade Runner,

:09:13.:09:15.

shot her dead on Valentine's Day last year. -- Pistorius. He denies

:09:16.:09:21.

murder and says he missed at her for an intruder hiding in the toilet. A

:09:22.:09:26.

neighbour told the court she had bloodcurdling screams and then four

:09:27.:09:29.

gunshots in the early hours of the morning.

:09:30.:09:40.

No tears this time. A calm, focused Oscar Pistorius arrived in court

:09:41.:09:44.

this morning for the start of his murder trial. Something of the old

:09:45.:09:48.

confidence seems to have come back. He has been out on bail for a year

:09:49.:09:53.

now. In the scrum outside, the mother of the woman he shot. She has

:09:54.:10:00.

never met Pistorius in the flesh before but came to court today, she

:10:01.:10:04.

says, to look him in the eyes. The athlete's brother also emerged from

:10:05.:10:10.

the crowd. Rarely has an African Court has attracted global interest.

:10:11.:10:17.

-- courthouse full stop because of an unexpected ruling, we can now see

:10:18.:10:22.

live inside court room B. No close-ups of Pistorius are allowed

:10:23.:10:27.

but this morning, quickly denied the charge that he deliberately murdered

:10:28.:10:32.

his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp. Not good, my lady. -- not guilty. His

:10:33.:10:41.

lawyers went on the attack, accusing the prosecution of trying to frame

:10:42.:10:49.

him. The only purpose of trying to introduce character evidence would

:10:50.:10:53.

be to try and engineer and bring about an invisible attempt at this

:10:54.:11:00.

nation of character. But then came the state's first witness, a

:11:01.:11:04.

neighbour. What she said through an interpreter was dramatic enough.

:11:05.:11:14.

Bang, bang, bang. She described hearing the four gunshots that

:11:15.:11:18.

night, long gap after the first one. But crucially she also spoke of

:11:19.:11:21.

hearing a woman screaming in terror before those shots. She screamed

:11:22.:11:28.

terribly and she yelled for help. It is evidence of what the prosecution

:11:29.:11:33.

insists was a fight between historians and Reeva Steenkamp, the

:11:34.:11:37.

reason he allegedly killed her. -- between Pistorius. This trial has

:11:38.:11:45.

got off to a blistering start. After all the build-up, describe what the

:11:46.:11:51.

atmosphere was like in court. The court certainly was packed, a lot of

:11:52.:11:58.

people there, including the family of Oscar Pistorius and the family of

:11:59.:12:04.

Reeva Steenkamp. No can indication between the two families. As for the

:12:05.:12:09.

trial itself, it has got off to a competent start. The defence,

:12:10.:12:16.

basically saying that the prosecution has been spinning

:12:17.:12:20.

things, upset about how the bail application was handled, now we have

:12:21.:12:24.

this key witness, Michelle Burger, saying she had these bloodcurdling

:12:25.:12:28.

screams, clearly implying that Reeva Steenkamp and arrears had a row that

:12:29.:12:34.

night before the gunshots. That is in line with what the state is

:12:35.:12:39.

saying, this was premeditated murder by Oscar Pistorius. I have come out

:12:40.:12:43.

of the court room and right now, Oscar Pistorius's lawyers are trying

:12:44.:12:46.

to pull apart that witness, insisting that her statement earlier

:12:47.:12:51.

to the police is different in small but key ways from what she is now

:12:52.:12:56.

saying to the court. The question is, will other witnesses come

:12:57.:12:59.

forward to back up her statement? Thank you. You can of course follow

:13:00.:13:06.

the Oscar Pistorius trial and get live coverage on the BBC website.

:13:07.:13:14.

A woman's body has been found in a river close to where a 20-year-old

:13:15.:13:19.

student went missing almost six weeks. Megan Roberts from Yorkshire

:13:20.:13:23.

disappeared in January after a night out in York it was feared she had

:13:24.:13:30.

fallen into River Ouse. Her family has been told of the discovery

:13:31.:13:34.

although the body has not yet been formally identified.

:13:35.:13:39.

An inquest into the death of a Royal Military Academy officer who was

:13:40.:13:42.

found dead in her barracks has ruled she killed herself because of

:13:43.:13:45.

bullying, the lingering mental effects of an alleged rape and

:13:46.:13:50.

work-related despair. The coroner called on the MOD to review its care

:13:51.:13:54.

for vulnerable soldiers following the death of Corporal Annemarie

:13:55.:14:06.

element. This has a matter to a public enquiry, in many ways. The

:14:07.:14:10.

inquest heard from more than 70 witnesses, and in the end, the

:14:11.:14:14.

coroner concluded she was bullied and had been subject to extremely

:14:15.:14:20.

long working hours in the days and weeks leading up to her death. He

:14:21.:14:21.

has recommended that the Army make a number of changes to the welfare of

:14:22.:14:28.

its soldiers. For Annemarie Element, the red Caps were her life, unit she

:14:29.:14:34.

adored but eventually came to hate. She claimed she was raped by two

:14:35.:14:39.

colleagues in the Royal Military Police in 2009 and was devastated

:14:40.:14:43.

when they weren't charged. She told friends that following the

:14:44.:14:46.

allegations, colleagues turned on her and called her a liar. The

:14:47.:14:51.

inquest heard that she was subject to months of bullying here at

:14:52.:14:55.

Bulford military camp. Soldiers would scream at her, she's the girl

:14:56.:15:00.

who cried rape. The instructor called her fat in front of

:15:01.:15:05.

colleagues. On one occasion, a box of crickets was released in her

:15:06.:15:11.

bedroom to stop in October, 2011, should: Life here. Her mother says

:15:12.:15:17.

the military failed to protect her daughter. And says even superiors

:15:18.:15:26.

took part in the bullying. She was made to work 80, 90 hours a week.

:15:27.:15:31.

She was the victim of a bullying campaign. Absolutely disgusted. They

:15:32.:15:38.

had a GT of care towards her and they failed her. -- duty. If they

:15:39.:15:46.

had taken proper care of her, I believe she would still be here

:15:47.:15:51.

today. A number of people gave evidence at the inquest, including a

:15:52.:15:59.

former friend of hers, who denied calling on marine names or accusing

:16:00.:16:02.

her of lying over the rape allegations. MPs say this case has

:16:03.:16:07.

raised further questions about bullying in the military. People

:16:08.:16:11.

will remember deep cut and what happened. The military were told to

:16:12.:16:16.

change, they have not changed enough, it must come, it must

:16:17.:16:22.

happen, and this culture must change. Today, the coroner said the

:16:23.:16:26.

victim took her own life but had been bullied and had suffered what

:16:27.:16:32.

he called work-related despair. The family delighted with this

:16:33.:16:37.

verdict we have had today, the coroner has confirmed what we have

:16:38.:16:41.

always known, but she was treated at Lindley and let down by the Army --

:16:42.:16:48.

that she was. She was never able to recover from the allegation of rape

:16:49.:16:53.

she made in Germany. A new investigation is now under way into

:16:54.:16:58.

the original rape allegations made. Her family say in her gleaming

:16:59.:17:04.

buttons and her shiny badge, nobody was proud to serve her country and

:17:05.:17:08.

nobody felt more let down by military justice.

:17:09.:17:14.

In the past couple of minutes, the Ministry of Defence have released a

:17:15.:17:19.

statement from Brigadier John Donnelly, the director of personal

:17:20.:17:22.

services, who says, the Army deeply regrets the tragic death of the

:17:23.:17:27.

Corporal, I want to apologise to her family for the failures but the

:17:28.:17:30.

current -- that the coroner has identified. We have now a clear

:17:31.:17:38.

under station and the Army needs to learn lessons -- understanding.

:17:39.:17:44.

The headlines on BBC News: Tension in Ukraine continues to grow as

:17:45.:17:48.

William Hague called the biggest crisis in Europe in the

:17:49.:17:50.

21st-century. Still to come, how many stars does

:17:51.:17:57.

it take to make a Hollywood self he? This ground Twitter to a halt last

:17:58.:18:02.

Belgium -- Beers. The Brits had a good night at the

:18:16.:18:26.

Oscars last night. 12 Years A Slave by British director still the Queen

:18:27.:18:30.

-- the McQueen on Oscar for Best Picture. Relied Rafferty which was

:18:31.:18:34.

filmed in Britain got seven awards, but it was this action taken by the

:18:35.:18:40.

actor Bradley Cooper during the awards ceremony in Los Angeles which

:18:41.:18:44.

took Twitter by storm after it went viral. Our correspondent sent this

:18:45.:18:49.

report. You cannot keep everybody at the

:18:50.:18:52.

Oscars happy all the time, but Lupita Nyong'o certainly had

:18:53.:18:56.

something to dance about. 12 Years A Slave was her first feature film and

:18:57.:19:02.

she won Best Supporting Actress. Steve McQueen, you charge everything

:19:03.:19:05.

you fashion with a breath of your own spirit.. Thank you so much for

:19:06.:19:17.

putting me in this position. It has been the joy of my life.

:19:18.:19:21.

Steve McQueen's brutal story of slavery starring Chiwetel Ejiofor

:19:22.:19:24.

was tipped for top honours alongside Gravity. The ground-breaking space

:19:25.:19:40.

epic won Alfonso Cuaron Best Director in most of the technical

:19:41.:19:43.

categories. Seven Oscars in total, the biggest haul of the night. The

:19:44.:19:51.

host kept the show lively. Ellen DeGeneres ground the show to a halt.

:19:52.:19:56.

Cate Blanchett won Best Actress for her performance in Blue Jasmine.

:19:57.:20:00.

Thank you so much, Woody, for casting me. Matthew McConaughey won

:20:01.:20:04.

Best Actor for Dallas Buyers Club and his co-star Jared Leto took the

:20:05.:20:08.

prize for Best Supporting Actor. 12 Years A Slave!

:20:09.:20:12.

The Oscar for Best Picture went to 12 Years A Slave and its well-known

:20:13.:20:15.

producer made the introductions to the man of the moment.

:20:16.:20:19.

One man who brought us all together to tell their story and that is the

:20:20.:20:23.

indomitable Mr Steve McQueen. I dedicate this to all the people

:20:24.:20:26.

who have endured slavery and the 21 million people who still suffer

:20:27.:20:33.

slavery today. Thank you very much. The first black director to win Best

:20:34.:20:47.

Movie, and what a way to celebrate! Thanks to this man 's movie Gravity,

:20:48.:20:51.

and what of British people are clutching old and statues this

:20:52.:20:55.

evening, seven awards for this film made in the UK. But the night

:20:56.:21:00.

belongs to Steve McQueen and his film, 12 Years A Slave. And Al-Qaeda

:21:01.:21:07.

defector has told the BBC the government needs to improve the way

:21:08.:21:10.

it engages with radical Islamists or risk seeing more young men return

:21:11.:21:16.

from fighting in Syria to carry out attacks here. The man who was worn

:21:17.:21:20.

in Saudi Arabia says ministers have to change their rhetoric to convince

:21:21.:21:25.

egg streamers to the West is not responsible for complex in the

Islamic world -- who was born. More than 100,000 people have died in

:21:32.:21:37.

Syria since the war began in 2011. There are growing concerns from the

:21:38.:21:39.

UK authorities that people travelling there from here could

:21:40.:21:44.

combat radicalised and launch attacks on the West -- could, back.

:21:45.:21:51.

This man who does not want to be named was radicalised during the

:21:52.:21:56.

Bosnian conflict and he later worked with some of the modern. He says the

:21:57.:22:00.

government must change its rhetoric to get through to young extremists.

:22:01.:22:05.

The government needs to spell out their fears and an explanation that

:22:06.:22:11.

the conflict in Syria was not the making of the West. It was a

:22:12.:22:17.

conflict that erupted because of regional calculations and regional

:22:18.:22:22.

alliances and the power circle. So it is not the West to blame. He is

:22:23.:22:28.

warning of the dangers of the Internet and how it is fuelling

:22:29.:22:32.

extremists but he says ministers must focus on communicating with

:22:33.:22:36.

hard to reach Muslims rather than concentrating on taking down the

:22:37.:22:41.

legal terrorist material. Hundreds have gone to Syria from Britain over

:22:42.:22:46.

the last couple of years and in January, 16 people in the UK were

:22:47.:22:51.

arrested on suspicion of Syria related terror offences, some as

:22:52.:22:57.

young as 17, compared to 24 arrests last year. The Home Office insists

:22:58.:23:01.

its strategy which aims to stop people becoming terrorists has made

:23:02.:23:06.

considerable headway. But this man argues its efforts of falling

:23:07.:23:10.

through the net because vulnerable petition Muslims are not getting the

:23:11.:23:15.

Separate speed limits, different laws on drink-driving. In the

this Parliament to implement most of the recommendations. What I think

all political parties will probably be setting out their positions in

their manifestoes. Before then, a boat on Scottish independence could

shift the shape of the UK and raise even more questions over what the

future of Wales should be -- about. A memorial service celebrating the

:26:05.:26:07.

life of Nelson Mandela has taken less at Westminster Abbey this

:26:08.:26:12.

lunchtime. More than 2,000 people were at the service including Prince

:26:13.:26:15.

Harry, David Cameron and Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Nelson Mandela dated

:26:16.:26:21.

-- died in December and 95 and visited the Abbey almost a decade

:26:22.:26:27.

ago. A stone to honour him will be placed there later this year.

:26:28.:26:38.

He was that rare thing, a political leader who was genuinely great. And

:26:39.:26:44.

within the grandeur of Westminster Abbey, a congregation came together

:26:45.:26:50.

to celebrate the life and work of Nelson Mandela.

:26:51.:26:56.

The setting was London, but the music was of Africa.

:26:57.:27:04.

The former Labour Cabinet Minister Peter Hain, a campaigner against

:27:05.:27:10.

apartheid whose early life was spent in white South Africa, spoke of the

:27:11.:27:18.

impact of Mandela. There will never be another like Nelson Mandela.

:27:19.:27:21.

Truly an inspiration to us all and forever more.

:27:22.:27:30.

Back in the 1980s, the leaders in London and Washington had described

:27:31.:27:38.

Nelson Mandela as a terrorist. Archbishop Desmond Tutu of Cape Town

:27:39.:27:43.

spoke to those who campaigned and he changed minds. I use this great

:27:44.:27:52.

pulpit to say on behalf of our people, thank you. Thank you God for

:27:53.:28:02.

Nelson Mandela, who has shown us eat single one of us, each single one of

:28:03.:28:13.

us, what we can be. Each one of us. Loving, compassionate, caring, made

:28:14.:28:19.

for goodness. The service ended with South Africa

Nelson Mandela devoted his life to achieve -- and anthem introduced.

Let's have a look at the weather. There will be warm sunshine this

:28:40.:28:50.

week and cold nights. It was frosty in some areas this morning, this

:28:51.:28:55.

picture was sent in from Sutton Coldfield. Sunshine for the rest of

:28:56.:28:59.

today but there will be showers. Showers are in more Southern parts

:29:00.:29:03.

of the UK, around an area of low pressure. They have migrated it it

:29:04.:29:10.

further East. As you head further North, more sunshine through the

:29:11.:29:13.

afternoon, except in the north-east corner of Scotland where we have a

:29:14.:29:17.

band of rain left over from last night. Towards the latter part of

:29:18.:29:21.

the afternoon, it risk wind in Cornwall, pushing showers through --

:29:22.:29:30.

a quick wind. Some are heavy and possibly with hail and under. And

:29:31.:29:36.

North, to the North of London and the East Midlands and East Anglia.

:29:37.:29:40.

The North, a good part of northern England seeing very little showers,

more cloud in the north-east of Scotland. Cloud coming and going in

the north-east of the mainland towards Orkney. Wintry showers

:29:49.:29:54.

further West and sunshine. Bob has gone across Northern Ireland and

:29:55.:29:56.

temperatures are recovering, showers by the end of the day towards the

:29:57.:30:01.

West Butler showers across Wales by 4pm and many places will be fine and

:30:02.:30:09.

dry. -- towards the West of Wales. Wet weather pushing across Northern

:30:10.:30:13.

Ireland, taking showers into North Wales, northern England and

:30:14.:30:18.

Scotland, snow over the Highlands. A cold night particularly where we

:30:19.:30:21.

have clear skies from the Vale of York and into central and Southern

:30:22.:30:29.

England, maybe icy patches and improving for many places tomorrow.

:30:30.:30:32.

Showers across the northern part of the UK, fewer and lighter and many

:30:33.:30:38.

places have a dry and bright day, and temperatures similar to today,

:30:39.:30:43.

eight, nine degrees. This wet weather is sneaking into the far

:30:44.:30:48.

south-west and low pressure will disappear during Tuesday night.

:30:49.:30:53.

High-pressure will build steering these weather systems towards the

:30:54.:30:57.

North West of the UK, around the middle of the week. For many parts

:30:58.:31:01.

of England and Wales, it was at cold on Wednesday, with frost, patchy

:31:02.:31:06.

mist and fog and a bright day with sunshine. Turning a milder around

:31:07.:31:11.

the middle of the week, temperatures climbing to 15 degrees. The colder

:31:12.:31:17.

weather is not far away and it could return later in the week.

:31:18.:31:22.

A reminder of the main story this lunchtime, tension in Ukraine

:31:23.:31:27.

continues to grow as William Hague calls it the biggest crisis in

:31:28.:31:30.

Europe in the 21st-century. That
