Police in South Korea seek to arrest the Captain of the ferry which sank | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
with hundreds of children on board. Rescuers retrieve more bodies from | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
the ship - hopes are fading of finding any more survivors. | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
A British teenager has been killed in Syria - the Foreign Office says | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
it's urgently investigating how he died. | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
The Duchess of Cambridge meets children at a hospice on the royal | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
tour of Australia. And the going is good - horse racing | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
takes place on a Good Friday for the first time in Britain. | :00:38. | :00:56. | |
Good afternoon. Police in South Korea have asked a | :00:57. | :01:03. | |
court to issue an arrest warrant for the captain and two other crew of | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
the passenger ferry which sank on Wednesday, with hundreds of children | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
on board. More bodies have been recovered and for the first time | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
rescue teams have entered the ship's cargo deck. Hopes are fading of | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
finding anyone alive on board. Martin Patience reports from Jindo - | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
and you may find some of the pictures in his report distressing. | :01:20. | :01:29. | |
This search operation is now entering a grim, new phase. Today, | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
more bodies and not survivors were brought to shore. Dozens of vessels | :01:36. | :01:43. | |
are still searching the sea for any survivors but it is what is | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
happening under water that represents today's major | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
breakthrough. Divers have entered the stricken ferry for the first | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
time. TRANSLATION: Two divers entered the | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
second floor cargo bay but because of the obstructions, they could not | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
identify or rescue any people from the sea. | :02:03. | :02:11. | |
Back on shore, anger and frustrations are mounting. This is | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
now day three of the search operation. And with no news of their | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
loved ones, many here are preparing for the worst. | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
TRANSLATION: It is heartbreaking if I think about how cold she must be | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
in the water. I pray she is still alive. | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
Families of the missing have just boarded this Coast Guard vessel and | :02:34. | :02:35. | |
they will be travelling the 20 kilometres to the scene of the | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
stricken ferry. It's bound to be a highly charged and an emotional | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
journey. This mobile phone footage captured the dramatic moments before | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
the ferry sank. Students clinging onto the vessel in order to survive. | :02:48. | :02:54. | |
Today it emerged the accident had claimed yet another victim. The vice | :02:55. | :03:03. | |
principal who led the school trip was found hanged. He was reportedly | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
guilt ridden about having been rescued. | :03:08. | :03:15. | |
And Martin Patience joins us now. It does look like the police are | :03:16. | :03:22. | |
treating this as a criminal enquiry? That is right. Ross acute as are | :03:23. | :03:30. | |
focusing on two areas. One area is the captain did not order and | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
evacuation from the ferry quickly enough. The supposition is had he | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
done so, more lives could have been saved. And second, that he just | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
abandoned the vessel. I am told there is grief surrounding this | :03:46. | :03:52. | |
entire rescue operation and now the dreadful news of the vice principal | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
of the school? Terrible news and more details are emerging. One South | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
Korean news agency said it has seen this suicide letter, left at the | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
scene of the suicide. The teacher said he simply couldn't live with | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
himself knowing he had organised this trip. He went on to say he | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
helped his ashes were sprinkled at the sight of the sunken ferry so he | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
hopes he can become a teacher again for the students, but this time in | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
the afterlife. Thank you very much. An 18-year-old man from Brighton has | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
been killed in Syria. Abdullah Deghayes died there earlier this | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
month. The circumstances of his death are not yet clear. The Foreign | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
Office has said it's urgently investigating. I'm joined by our | :04:44. | :04:45. | |
security correspondent, Frank Gardner. Frank, what do we know | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
about this? This is a sad story of a young man | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
due to go to write-in university. Instead he ran away. His family | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
believed he was in Libya but he had gone to Syria. About the most | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
dangerous country on the planet you can go to. The Foreign Office said | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
the circumstances of his death are unclear. But people will be working | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
on the assumption he has been killed in fighting. A number of Britons | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
have gone to Syria to fight and they have a one in 20 chance of getting | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
killed and the longer they stay there, there are chances increase | :05:22. | :05:28. | |
and getting killed. The government is concerned about this. Even though | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
most people who go out there either to get involved in humanitarian | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
issues or to join the fighting, they say they have got no intention of | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
coming back here to carry out any violence. The government is | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
concerned, and the director-general of MI5 made a speech last year that | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
there is a risk skills learned over there in bomb-making and so on, | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
could be transferred over here. There is no evidence at this stage | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
to say that Abdullah Deghayes was involved in that. His uncle was held | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
in Guantanamo Bay at one stage but the circumstances around his death | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
are unclear. At least 12 people have died in an | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
avalanche on Everest - the worst accident to have taken place on the | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
mountain. All those who lost their lives were local Nepalese guides | :06:23. | :06:24. | |
who'd been preparing the way for western climbers. Three are still | :06:25. | :06:26. | |
missing. Pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
have said the new pro-western government in Kiev must step down | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
before they will abide by the terms of an international agreement to | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
ease the crisis in the country. They're continuing their armed | :06:36. | :06:37. | |
occupation of official buildings in at least nine cities in the east of | :06:38. | :06:44. | |
the country. Duncan Crawford reports from Donetsk. | :06:45. | :06:55. | |
Armed and ready. They are not leaving their headquarters in | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
Donetsk, they are arriving. Despite an international deal but says armed | :07:02. | :07:03. | |
groups must leave occupied buildings. People here say they want | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
a referendum first four more powers to be transferred to the east. And | :07:09. | :07:15. | |
today, a call for the government in Kiev to step down. Some people are | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
nervous. TRANSLATION: We don't want | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
bloodshed, we want these issues to be resolved peacefully and to be | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
given an opportunity to decide on future. Diplomats in Geneva | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
yesterday had hoped they might bring eastern Ukraine back from the brink | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
and ease tensions. But only hours after the talks finished, the US was | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
already raising doubts. Our preference would be for Mr Putin to | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
follow through on what is a glimmer of hope coming out of these Geneva | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
talks. But, we are not going to count on it until we see it. Today | :07:55. | :08:01. | |
in eastern Ukraine, this is the most rebellious city but it is peaceful | :08:02. | :08:08. | |
and calm. But the barricades remain. Convincing people here to give up | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
their weapons may also not be easy. The struggle for Ukraine's future | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
shows no sign of ending. What Western diplomats want and what | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
anti-Kiev activist wants, are two different things. It is up to | :08:24. | :08:30. | |
Ukraine's new leaders to control the situation on the ground. | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
The two biggest teachers unions in England and Wales are expected to | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
call for industrial action at their annual conferences this weekend. | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
Both unions are in dispute with the government over changes to pay and | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
pensions. Ministers argue the reforms are designed to bring | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
teachers in line with other workers. David Miliband has appointed Barack | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
Obama's chief election strategist to advise the Labour Party during next | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
year's General Election. David Axelrod helped Mr Obama win | :09:02. | :09:03. | |
back-to-back presidential terms in 2008 and 2012. His appointment | :09:04. | :09:05. | |
follows several months of negotiations. | :09:06. | :09:17. | |
The Duchess of Cambridge has thanked Australia on how warm welcome since | :09:18. | :09:26. | |
she arrived in the country. Visiting an Easter show in Sydney. | :09:27. | :09:37. | |
On an almost cloudless autumn day in Sydney, the crowds were large and | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
the royal couple remained the attraction as they made their way | :09:43. | :09:48. | |
through this showground will stop after celebrity chefs, cooking | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
demonstrations and displays of local produce, a champion ram called Fred, | :09:54. | :10:01. | |
got a hazard and Pat. Then something quintessentially Australian, | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
demonstration of sheep shearing. A good sheep shearer can shear a sheep | :10:05. | :10:11. | |
in around two minutes. They make it look easy. | :10:12. | :10:18. | |
After the Easter show they went on to visit only one of only two | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
children's hospices in Australia. Kate spoke of her gratitude for the | :10:24. | :10:30. | |
reception they have been given. To be here as a family will always be | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
very special. Thank you for inviting us here and for such a generous | :10:37. | :10:43. | |
welcome. Thank you. Finally, to Manly Beach near Sydney and a | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
demonstration by trainee lifeguards. Walking on sand in those shoes | :10:48. | :10:55. | |
cannot be easy, but going barefoot was evidently not an option. After | :10:56. | :11:02. | |
sailing in Auckland, they must be disappointed not to be so active. | :11:03. | :11:09. | |
Beach, C and trainee lifeguards, they have had an Australian end to | :11:10. | :11:16. | |
their Good Friday. History will be made today when | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
horse racing takes place on a Good Friday for the first time in | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
Britain. Organisers believe breaking with tradition is vital to bring an | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
audience to racing. There are two race meetings with Lingfield Park in | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
Surrey expecting a record crowd. From there, Joe Wilson reports. | :11:29. | :11:35. | |
These days there are many courses for horses. At Lingfield, it is wax | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
coated sand and synthetic fibres, ultramodern and this is tradition | :11:40. | :11:45. | |
changing. Good Friday, no longer racing free. It is a leisure day. | :11:46. | :11:52. | |
People want to be able to do something and everybody has a choice | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
what to do. Whether it is theme parks, now horse racing or even go | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
to the shops. This race courses over 100 years old. The parish church has | :12:02. | :12:10. | |
stood since the early 15th century. Society may have altered | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
immeasurably, but for some, Good Friday is still about Christian | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
worship. Obviously opinions about horse racing on Good Friday differ. | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
We hope people will take the opportunity to visit the beautiful | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
church. They will be very warmly welcomed. In the past, jockeys have | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
been run up in to compete on Good Friday because it is a rare day off. | :12:34. | :12:39. | |
There are only three days in the entire EA without a racing fixture | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
in Britain. But Lingfield has raid at -- laid out the red carpet and | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
there is ?1 million worth of prize-money today. This is a finale | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
of a winter championship run on all-weather tracks. The sponsorship | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
here today is provided by a betting company. Robin hood's Bay is fancied | :12:58. | :13:05. | |
to win the race and his owner is a passionate racing follower who has | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
been blind since his 30s. I don't miss out at all because every | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
racecourse has eight commentary. All of the commentators are wonderful | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
picture painters. This is a racetrack built for all seasons, | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
with Good Friday no longer the exception. | :13:24. | :13:29. | |
First racing on Good Friday. Let's have a reminder of the main news. | :13:30. | :13:36. | |
The police in North Korea have requested an arrest warrant for the | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
captain and two crew members for the ferry that sank on Wednesday. It had | :13:41. | :13:46. | |
hundreds of children on board. There is more on that story on the | :13:47. | :13:48. |
