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. | |

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. | |

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. | |

slavery today. Thank you very much. The first black director to win Best | :20:34. | :20:47. | |

egg streamers to the West is not responsible for complex in the | :21:26. | :21:31. | |
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. | |
message. -- petition Muslims. The 12 years I had with Al-Qaeda, for won | :23:16. | :23:21. | |
zones, six years spent over their collectively, seeing the effect war | :23:22. | :23:30. | |
has on people -- war zones. A war will change an individual one way or | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
another regardless. And in most cases, it brings out the worst | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
rather than the best. Some politicians admit more work needs to | :23:39. | :23:46. | |
be done with British Muslim leaders. Wales should have greater control | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
over policing and the youth justice system according to a report on the | :23:51. | :23:55. | |
future of devolution in Wales. The Silk Commission has also called for | :23:56. | :23:58. | |
control over large energy projects to be handed over from Westminster. | :23:59. | :24:06. | |
Separate speed limits, different laws on drink-driving. In the | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
future, crossing the border into Wales could mean entering a very | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
different legal landscape. Bringing policing under the Welsh Assembly | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
would, according to the authors of today's report, tackle opens at a | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
local level. Dealing with substance abuse and the causes of crime and | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
criminality, community safety issues can be dealt with in a coherent way | :24:31. | :24:35. | |
between the police force in Wales and other agencies in Wales. Also on | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
the horizon is control over what energy projects, the Welsh Assembly | :24:41. | :24:44. | |
would get to decide if the new wind farms at the go-ahead. The shifting | :24:45. | :24:48. | |
powers may be gradual but ultimately, the wind does seem to be | :24:49. | :24:53. | |
blowing in One Direction. But is there an appetite here for greater | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
devolution? Do people feel what they have got has delivered? There are | :24:59. | :25:04. | |
plenty of parents worried about the state of education in Wales, the | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
Welsh NHS has been making headlines for the wrong reasons as well, but | :25:10. | :25:13. | |
that does not mean most want to reverse the flow of power. If we had | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
more powers, we would have more control over our affairs or maybe a | :25:19. | :25:26. | |
different First Minister. We have enough at the moment, let's see | :25:27. | :25:29. | |
where we go in the future. How much power comes to Cardiff they will be | :25:30. | :25:36. | |
up to the UK government, don't expect decisions before the next | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
general election. Everybody recognises we have little time in | :25:41. | :25:43. | |
this Parliament to implement most of the recommendations. What I think | :25:44. | :25:48. | |
all political parties will probably be setting out their positions in | :25:49. | :25:52. | |
their manifestoes. Before then, a boat on Scottish independence could | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
shift the shape of the UK and raise even more questions over what the | :25:58. | :26:04. | |
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 | :28:20. | :28:30. | |
's national anthem, and am from contribute to the freedom which | :28:31. | :28:35. | |
Nelson Mandela devoted his life to achieve -- and anthem introduced. | :28:36. | :28:39. | |
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, | :29:41. | :29:44. | |
more cloud in the north-east of Scotland. Cloud coming and going in | :29:45. | :29:48. | |
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 | :31:31. | :31:32. |
