BBC's News at Six. Russia's President President Vladimir Putin | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
has dismissed criticism from the West and formally taken Crimea from | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
the Ukraine and into the Russian Federation. In a defiant speech | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
inside the Kremlin, he said he was correcting a "historical injustice" | :01:52. | :01:53. | |
and that Crimea had always been a part of Russia. The move prompted a | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
swift diplomatic response, America accusing Moscow of a "land grab". | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
David Cameron saying Russia's actions had been "completely | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
unacceptable". Tonight, there are reports of gunfire at a Ukranian | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
military base, where one soldier is believed to have been killed. From | :02:11. | :02:20. | |
Moscow here's Daniel Sandford. In the Imperial splendour of the | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
Palace, a defiant President Putin entered to a fanfare. Today, in the | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
Kremlin, the historic seat of power, he was expanding Russia's borders | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
for the first time in 70 years, welcoming back a former jewel in the | :02:35. | :02:42. | |
crown of the Russian Empire. TRANSLATION: In the hearts and minds | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
of our people, Crimea has always been a part of Russia. This is an | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
unshakeable conviction, transferred from generation to generation. | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
Unshaken by time, and by circumstance. Time and again the | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
audience of MPs rose to applaud him. He accused the West of acting | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
irresponsiblibly, aggressively and hypocritically in Ukraine, but | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
promised he wasn't in interested in annexing any more territory. | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
TRANSLATION: I want you to hear me, dear friends, don't trust those who | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
frighten you about Russia, those who say that Crimea will be followed by | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
other regions. We don't want Ukraine to be split. Then he signed a treaty | :03:25. | :03:32. | |
with the new Crimean leadership, beginning the process of joining the | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
strategic peninsula to the Russian Federation. It could all be over by | :03:37. | :03:43. | |
the end of this week. The Russian National Anthem brought to a close a | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
ceremony that went ahead despite the intense objections of Ukraine, | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
American accusations of a land grab and what is sure to be a period of | :03:55. | :04:03. | |
isolation. And, as the crowd on Red Square shout "Russia, Russia" | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
President Putin told them that Crimea had returned to its home | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
port. The anecksation of Crimea has moved with breath taking speed, | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
three weeks from start to finish. The world has condemned it, but many | :04:18. | :04:24. | |
Russians see it as an end to a historic mistake. An end of a | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
quarter of a century of decline. As Ukranian troops massed on the border | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
with Crimea, there were reports of a Ukranian soldier being shot dead, | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
which brought this warning from the Prime Minister. | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
TRANSLATION: Now the conflict is the shifting from a political to a | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
military phase. Russian soldiers have started shooting at Ukranian | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
servicemen. In Russia, the anecksation of Crimea has been | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
hailed as a triumph am they know there will be a price, but they have | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
calculated it's a price worth paying. Daniel Sandford, BBC News, | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
Moscow. Our world affairs editor, John Simpson, is outside the base in | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
Crimea where that shooting took place earlier today. John, what is | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
the latest there? What is the significance, do you think, of what | :05:15. | :05:21. | |
President Putin has done today? Well just to deal with the situation here | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
at the base, at the moment, George, it does seem to be over. It looks | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
very much as though the kind of thuggish characters that you can | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
perhaps see behind me, men like this, pro-Russian volunteers, staged | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
some sort of attack on the base behind me where Ukranian soldiers | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
where. Shot one dead and injured another one, quite badly. But it | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
doesn't seem to have been a concerted effort by Russian troops | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
to take over the base. It's not an important base of any kind, anyway. | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
It's an example of how things can go very badly and fastly wrong and | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
create immense trouble. As for the speech, it was a very fiery, very | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
angry speech in many ways, that's what President Putin knew that | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
Russian people wanted to hear, but when it came to the absolutely key | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
bit, about whether he was going to take any further action against | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
Ukraine, he seemed to make it absolutely clear that he wasn't. He | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
didn't want any more Ukranian territory. That is really important | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
for the future. This will go on for a long, long time. The West won't | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
forget it. Russia won't forget it either. It may not get all that much | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
worse, from now on. John, thank you very much. Childcare costs have | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
risen over the last few years and added to the strain on household | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
budgets. Now, the coalition has announced a subsidy for working | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
parents. It will come in the form of a tax-free childcare allowance worth | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
up to ?2,000 per child, per year. The scheme, applying to children | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
under the age of 12, will come in from September next year. Parents | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
must be working and earning more than ?50 per week to be eligible. | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
Homes where one parent stays at home to look after children will not | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
benefit, nor will parents who earn more than ?150,000 each. Our | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
political editor, Nick Robinson, has more detailed. If you thought they | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
were on the brink of a political divorce, think again. David Cameron | :07:33. | :07:34. | |
and Nick Clegg walked out together today on the eve of the Budget to | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
promote the coalition's plans to subsidise childcare. A plan that | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
won't start though until after the election. Why the wait, I asked the | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
Deputy Prime Minister It's a total change in the way in which we | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
provide support. It's basically tax free childcare support, close to two | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
million families will be helped. We want to get it right. You are right, | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
politically it would be get better to say, get it implemented this | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
September. If we do that, it may not work in practice. For many the cost | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
of paying for childcare out weighs any other bill, transport, | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
electricity or gas the rent or the mortgage. Any amount helps. It's a | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
big decision if you have to stop working to look after children. The | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
you kind of want the economic part of it to be the easy part of the | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
decision Raith rather than the difficult one. It's massive. It's | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
probably bigger than a mortgage. Having a second child, for us, was a | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
stretch too far. The that is why we stopped at one. Here is how the | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
Government's proposed subsidies are meant to help. Parents will have to | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
set up an online childcare account. For every 80p they pay in, the | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
Government will add 20p, making the cost tax free at the basic rate. | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
Existing voucher schemes will continue, but no-one will be able to | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
claim both. Any new help for mums and dads is to be welcomed. We need | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
to put it into context. David Cameron's Government has delivered | :08:58. | :08:59. | |
no support for childcare over the course of this parliament while | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
bills have been rising so aggressively. We have worries about | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
the figures on this. Labour has a clear option of 25-hours free | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
childcare for three and four-year-olds every week. Help on | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
offer for stay at home mums, the focus of all parties is trying to | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
get more parents into work, to change the arithmetic they face. At | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
the moment, balancing it up against the tax credits and obviously my | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
husband's wages, it won't be viable for me to go full-time work. The two | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
men at the top of the coalition came together on this policy, aware that | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
recent public rows risk making them look like a zombie Government, | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
unable to get anything done. The coalition partners have seemed like | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
children, scrapping in a playground, what today's announcement proves is | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
there is a little secret, they actually get on rather better than | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
they really want to admit. Today was meant to be a scene setter for the | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
Chancellor, who has to answer the charge that there may be a recovery, | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
but most people still aren't feeling it. The You are here with David | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
Cameron, doesn't it show that you guys really agree on a great deal | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
and the rows you constantly talk about, they are basically done for | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
the cameras, like TV wrestling. Coalition is what it says on the | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
tin. Two different partners, two different leaders, two different | :10:22. | :10:28. | |
philosophies. Tomorrow we will hear the official view on how the economy | :10:29. | :10:37. | |
is set to grow and some of the giveaways before the general | :10:38. | :10:39. | |
election. The phone-hacking trial has been told that the former News | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
of the World editor, Andy Coulson, personally approved payments that | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
led to the hacking of phones belonging to members of the Royal | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
Household. It's claimed Mr Coulson, who denies the charges, was shown | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
the transcript of one message. Tom Symonds was in court for us. Tom, | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
who was the court hearing from today? George, this is Clive | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
Goodman, the former Royal editor who was convicted of phone-hacking in | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
2006. He said to the court today that in 2005 he had a meeting with | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
Andy Coulson, then the editor of the paper. He offered him a deal, it was | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
this. The that in return for ?500 a week, a private investigator, Glenn | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
Mulcaire, would provide all the information, PIN numbers and phone | :11:24. | :11:25. | |
numbers that would allow Mr Goodman to hack the phones of three people | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
very close to Prince kill William and Prince Harry. Mr Goodman said it | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
would allow him to access information, meetings and events | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
happening in the lives of the Prince of Wales' sons. Clive Goodman | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
claimed that Mr Coulson agreed do it. A two month trial paid for out | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
of the editorial management budget. That allowed them to get good | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
stories, including a story, he said, which was that Prince William had | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
asked an aide to help him with his Sandhurst homework. He said in that | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
case he showed a transcript of Prince William's voicemail message | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
to the editor, Andy Coulson. Andy Coulson denies being involved in | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
phone-hacking, all the charges he faces, his barristers are expected | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
to cross examining Mr Goodman in the days to come. Many thanks. | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
Frustration among the relatives of the passengers of Malaysian Airlines | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
flight MH370 which went missing more than 10 days ago is boiling over. | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
Some have threatened to go on hunger strike if they don't get more | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
accurate information. Our correspondent, Damian Grammaticas, | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
has the story of one woman's anxiety as she waits for news in Beijing. | :12:38. | :12:45. | |
He's Phillip Wood, Sarah has been searching for him for 11 days now. | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
Teams have scoured the seaings, she has used the internet to urge | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
everyone she can to help find Phillip. A complete outpouring of | :12:54. | :13:00. | |
support. It's amazing. An executive with IBM Phillip Wood had turned 50, | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
the couple were with about to move from Beijing to begin a new life in | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
Malaysia. I believe that Phillip is still alive. I feel his presence | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
still, I don't believe he's dead. I hope that he comes back. I'm | :13:14. | :13:19. | |
planning on him coming back. I can't control that at this point. You | :13:20. | :13:26. | |
believe he will come back? Yes. I mean, I think it's more believable | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
that the aeroplane has been landed some place, than it has crashed. | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
Because why would you take something only to destroy it without any | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
message being given out? You know, what terrorist would take a plane | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
and then just crash it? It doesn't make any sense. The search area now | :13:41. | :13:46. | |
covers more than two million square nautical miles. The Malaysian | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
investigators are revising their theories again. No longer sure | :13:52. | :13:54. | |
someone on board turned off the plane's communications. They are | :13:55. | :13:57. | |
reconsidering mechanical failure as a possible cause. The other families | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
waiting for news in China, frustrations are mounting. Today | :14:03. | :14:09. | |
some threatened a hunger strike. Malaysian airline officials left the | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
room they shouted, "stop them." China's government too isn't giving | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
them information. They believe the truth is being kept from them. The | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
families have been cooped up inside this hotel for more than 10 days | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
now, waiting for each tiny new piece of this puzzle, hoping that even | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
after all this time it will be a sign that their loved ones will come | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
back alive. Sarah is holding onto hope she and Phillip will be moving | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
to Malaysia. That's what I'm hoping will be the case, if not, then I'll | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
build a new life with his memory instead. Either way, life has to go | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
on. He's the love of your life, you're saying? Yeah. We waited until | :14:52. | :14:57. | |
he was 50 and I was 48 to meet each other. Damian Grammaticas, BBC News, | :14:58. | :15:03. | |
Beijing. You can see more on the search for flight MH370 on the BBC | :15:04. | :15:10. | |
News website that's at bbc.co.uk/missingplane. | :15:11. | :15:19. | |
Our top story this evening. President Putin announces the | :15:20. | :15:26. | |
takeover of Crimea - it's the first time Russia's expanded its territory | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
since the Second World War. And still to come: Why should | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
wheelchair users put up with views like this at Premier League matches? | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
Later on BBC London: Residents plagued by sewage in a Berkshire | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
town call on the boss of Thames Water to give up his bonus. | :15:42. | :15:43. | |
And back at the Bridge for a Champions League clash but could | :15:44. | :15:46. | |
Drogba's return be a more permanent one? | :15:47. | :15:59. | |
With Scotland's vote on independence now six months away, both campaigns | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
know that large numbers of voters are still undecided. Today Labour | :16:05. | :16:07. | |
proposed greater tax raising powers for the Scottish Government in the | :16:08. | :16:10. | |
event of a vote against independence to help bring them behind the Better | :16:11. | :16:13. | |
Together campaign. And as polling day looms, volunteer campaigners are | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
pounding the doorsteps to secure every last vote, as Allan Little has | :16:17. | :16:23. | |
been finding out. Right folks, are you ready to do | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
leaflets? Ken Taylor is undaunted. He has been campaigning for Scottish | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
independence for 48 years. I want to get down and do that first. In this | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
part of Glasgow, those who vote mostly vote Labour, but the yes | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
campaign want to reach those who are so disillusioned that they don't | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
vote at all. The east end of Glasgow, these areas are generally | :16:46. | :16:49. | |
very low turnout areas. If we can get these people motivated to come | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
out and vote, who knows, they might be voting for us? | :16:54. | :17:01. | |
BRASS BAND MUSIC. In Dalmellington in East Ayrshire, | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
the coal mines are all closed. The village brass band is their proud | :17:06. | :17:11. | |
legacy. Communities like this with their strong links to the miners of | :17:12. | :17:14. | |
England and Wales were once bed rocks of British identity in | :17:15. | :17:19. | |
Scotland. Are they still? At the moment I'm inclined to vote no. Only | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
because of the lack of information and I don't understand fully how we | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
are going to support ourselves if it is a yes. Are you persuadable? I | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
could be if the amount of information came through was enough. | :17:33. | :17:42. | |
I will be voting yes. I hope... I have doubts it will happen but I | :17:43. | :17:45. | |
would like to see it happen, an independent Scotland, yes. The polls | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
all put the pro-union campaign well ahead. But they need to be on the | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
doorsteps too, to counteract nationalist claims that a distant | :17:55. | :17:57. | |
Westminster elite is dictating from on high. It is going to get tighter | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
and it is the biggest question that Scotland has faced the 300 years, so | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
there will be people that maybe are yes at the minute, but in the end | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
vote no, and the other way round. What we've got to do as Better | :18:12. | :18:14. | |
Together is show how Scotland can be a strong, confident nation as part | :18:15. | :18:22. | |
of the UK. But what do they offer, especially to the young? At Ayrshire | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
College, these students are training to be aeronautical engineers. Of the | :18:26. | :18:32. | |
eight who spoke to me, only one had decided how to vote. I'm thinking of | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
voting yes because if we had an independent Scotland, we would be | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
voting on our own matters rather than people down in Westminster | :18:41. | :18:42. | |
voting on them. Alex Salmond saying we will keep the pound is a big | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
assumption to make. It is not our currency to keep. It is the UK | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
currency and we will be leaving the UK. So it is a really big gamble. | :18:51. | :18:58. | |
This is a question for Better Together, in the long run is fear of | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
the unknown enough to keep Scotland loyal to the shared enterprise of | :19:02. | :19:11. | |
the United Kingdom? The battle of the supermarkets is | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
hotting up. Today Sainsburys posted its first fall in sales for nine | :19:17. | :19:19. | |
years and that followed poor results from Morrison's last week. As our | :19:20. | :19:22. | |
Business Correspondent, Emma Simpson, reports, the big price | :19:23. | :19:25. | |
squeeze is on as the supermarket chains fight for every last | :19:26. | :19:33. | |
customer. Selling food, it all seems so easy | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
for the big established players, but not any more. Sainsbury has been | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
performing better than its rivals, but today its winning streak came to | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
an end with fall in quarterly sales. I had been in this industry | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
for 30 years and it has always been competitive. We still hold our | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
market share and that tells you the market must be declining. It is a | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
tough market. It is growing less than the market has done for nine | :20:02. | :20:07. | |
years. The big supermarket, this has been a winning formula for decades. | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
But our habits are changing fast. We are shopping more online and in | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
smaller convenience stores, plus there is a lot more competition. And | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
this all means it is getting harder for the traditional grocery giants | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
to make money. In Cardiff, people are shopping around. If you stick to | :20:27. | :20:33. | |
one shop, you will never get anything that is a bargain. I do | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
online shopping a lot, trying to keep on top of shopping. Using Aldi | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
is a lot cheaper. Discounters are piling on the pressure for the big | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
supermarkets, challenging times are weighing down on share prices, but | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
look what happened to Morrisons when it warned about falling profits last | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
week. It announced aggressive price cuts. It dragged down its rivals | :20:57. | :21:01. | |
over fears of an all-out price war. Lots of beers in the city that if | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
Tesco presses this nuclear button on pricing it could send shock waves | :21:07. | :21:12. | |
through the industry. A big, aggressive play by one could be | :21:13. | :21:18. | |
damaging for the rest of them in terms of profitability. Sainsbury | :21:19. | :21:21. | |
says it will always respond if needed to price cuts but it is | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
banking on the belief its customers that its customers are interested in | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
more than just cuts at the checkouts. | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
The Rolling Stones have cancelled a concert in Perth tomorrow. It was | :21:34. | :21:38. | |
the first date of their tour of Australia and New Zealand. It | :21:39. | :21:41. | |
follows the death of Sir Mick Jagger's long-time partner, the | :21:42. | :21:42. | |
fashion designer L'Wren Scott. The 49-year-old former model was found | :21:43. | :21:47. | |
dead at her apartment in New York yesterday. She's thought to have | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
committed suicide. A woman has told a court in London | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
that the publicist, Max Clifford, abused her when she was 12 years | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
old. The woman, who can't be named for legal reasons, said the incident | :22:00. | :22:02. | |
happened in the jacuzzi of a Spanish holiday resort in 1983. Mr Clifford | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
denies 11 counts of indecent assault against seven women and girls. | :22:06. | :22:17. | |
Only three out of 20 clubs in the Premier League provide sufficient | :22:18. | :22:19. | |
space for wheelchair users, according to a BBC study. Some | :22:20. | :22:25. | |
campaigners are accusing clubs of discriminating against their own | :22:26. | :22:27. | |
disabled supporters. Katie Gornall has this exclusive report. | :22:28. | :22:35. | |
At a time when Premier League clubs have never been richer, many | :22:36. | :22:37. | |
disabled fans are getting a poor deal. These are some of the views | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
some disabled supporters have had to put up with. Figures obtained by the | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
BBC show there is a shortage of wheelchair spaces in the Premier | :22:47. | :22:48. | |
League. I don't want special treatment and I think anybody with a | :22:49. | :22:51. | |
disability don't want special treatment, they just want equality. | :22:52. | :22:54. | |
Anthony has been supporting Arsenal for over 20 years, but as I found | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
out, his match day experience is often very different than his | :22:59. | :23:04. | |
friends. Here at Liverpool, he is forced to sit with the home fans. Of | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
course it's going to be an issue with older stadiums that have been | :23:09. | :23:11. | |
converted or terraces made into seating areas. I expect that. But | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
with the amount of money in the game, there should be some level of | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
redress. Liverpool have said they have carried out a number of studies | :23:21. | :23:23. | |
into moving the away wheelchair section, but the age of Anfield | :23:24. | :23:26. | |
limits what they can do. The biggest issue is the lack of spaces in the | :23:27. | :23:32. | |
Premier League. Here, Swansea City and the Liberty Stadium lead the | :23:33. | :23:35. | |
way, they are one of only three clubs that offer the required number | :23:36. | :23:38. | |
of spaces. Eight clubs don't even offer half of what they should, | :23:39. | :23:41. | |
whilst Tottenham and Fulham have the smallest allocation in the league. | :23:42. | :23:47. | |
What we are asking for is a minimum standard that football itself came | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
up with and it will make a big difference to disabled football | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
fans. It has been ten years since the current guidelines were | :23:56. | :23:59. | |
published. Plenty of time for clubs to make reasonable adjustments. | :24:00. | :24:02. | |
Those who continue to fall short could be breaking the law. Football | :24:03. | :24:05. | |
clubs are in a privileged position because they rely on the loyalty of | :24:06. | :24:13. | |
their supporters. I have to say, the people I have seen really have come | :24:14. | :24:17. | |
to me at the end of their tether because they really don't want to | :24:18. | :24:20. | |
bring claims against their clubs. But they want the same experience as | :24:21. | :24:24. | |
non-disabled fans and why shouldn't they have? When we took our findings | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
to the Premier League they said: But disabled supporters like Anthony | :24:29. | :24:43. | |
believe it's now time for a major change. | :24:44. | :24:54. | |
Now, what does it feel like to win a million pounds? Or ten million? Or | :24:55. | :24:57. | |
50 million? Well tonight, a mechanic from South London is getting used to | :24:58. | :25:00. | |
winning ?108 million in a Euromillions jackpot. As Ben | :25:01. | :25:04. | |
Geoghegan reports, he's the fourth biggest lottery winner on record. | :25:05. | :25:06. | |
He is a garage mechanic who is now enjoying a champagne lifestyle. Neil | :25:07. | :25:10. | |
Trotter found out on Friday evening he was the ticket holder of the | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
fourth-biggest lottery jackpot. He and his partner, Nicky have been in | :25:15. | :25:20. | |
a daze ever since. I just checked my numbers and went white as a sheet | :25:21. | :25:27. | |
when I knew. It was the top line of the numbers as well, the Lucky Dip. | :25:28. | :25:30. | |
I didn't have to check all the way through before I found out the top | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
line and... Bang! His lottery fortune has put him in the same | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
league as a pop star. He decided to go public about it when friends | :25:41. | :25:51. | |
started to ask questions. A couple of people twigged there was | :25:52. | :25:53. | |
something wrong. Someone actually said to me, what have you done, won | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
the lottery? I just said, don't be stupid. Cars are his passion but | :25:59. | :26:02. | |
Neil Trotter has closed his garage and given up doing repairs. He is | :26:03. | :26:10. | |
going to drive supercars instead. This time next year, we will be | :26:11. | :26:17. | |
millionaires. Neil Trotter is probably now the country's most | :26:18. | :26:23. | |
famous trotter. When he bought his lottery ticket, he joked he was | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
going to be a millionaire. Little did he know he it was going to be | :26:28. | :26:29. | |
true. Now time for the weather. | :26:30. | :26:37. | |
Through the night it will be mainly dry. The breeze will stay with us | :26:38. | :26:45. | |
particularly across the northern parts of Scotland. There is thick | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
cloud and rain to content with. Some of the rain in western Scotland | :26:51. | :26:53. | |
could be heavy at times. Further south the breeze helping to keep | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
temperatures up, feeding more cloud into the West. A frost free start to | :26:59. | :27:01. | |
Wednesday morning with temperatures for most at around seven to eight | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
degrees. As we start Wednesday morning we still have the rain | :27:06. | :27:08. | |
sitting across the North West corner of Scotland. Patchy light rain and | :27:09. | :27:13. | |
drizzle and the best of the sunshine for central and eastern areas. Why | :27:14. | :27:19. | |
3pm, strong winds coming in across northern Scotland, bringing with it | :27:20. | :27:24. | |
cloud and outbreaks of rain. Further south, rain is fairly patchy and | :27:25. | :27:29. | |
light but it is a cloudy afternoon. In Northern Ireland, highs of 15 | :27:30. | :27:35. | |
degrees. But further west under the thicker cloud, more than more like | :27:36. | :27:39. | |
11 to 12. Despite there being a strong breeze we could have | :27:40. | :27:42. | |
temperatures around 18 or 19. Some warmth around. Courtesy of the | :27:43. | :27:47. | |
high-pressure, which, by Thursday will be pushed eastwards by a more | :27:48. | :27:51. | |
active weather front. This weather front on Thursday will bring heavy | :27:52. | :27:57. | |
rain and some strong wind. Moving through Scotland and Northern | :27:58. | :28:01. | |
Ireland, another blustery day. Had of it early brightness, but clouding | :28:02. | :28:06. | |
over to the south-east. We can find warmth here on Thursday at around 15 | :28:07. | :28:10. | |
degrees. But along the weather front where we have the cloud and strong | :28:11. | :28:15. | |
winds, more like ten and 11. Definitely turning colder, back into | :28:16. | :28:19. | |
single figures. Colder for all of us for Friday and the weekend with a | :28:20. | :28:22. | |
mixture of sunshine and blustery showers. Some of those showers could | :28:23. | :28:24. | |
be wintry. A reminder of our main story will | :28:25. | :28:34. | |
stop President Putin has taken over Crimea. It is the first time Russia | :28:35. | :28:38. | |
has expanded its territory since the Second World War. | :28:39. | :28:42. | |
On the eve of the budget of the government announces a child-care | :28:43. | :28:45. | |
subsidy for working parents. It is worth up to ?2000. | :28:46. | :28:47. | |
That is all from | :28:48. | :28:49. |
