:01:14.:01:41.

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.

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

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.

What we are asking for is a minimum standard that football itself came

up with and it will make a big difference to disabled football

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

Now, what does it feel like to win a million pounds? Or ten million? Or

50 million? Well tonight, a mechanic from South London is getting used to

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

line and... Bang! His lottery fortune has put him in the same

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

the lottery? I just said, don't be stupid. Cars are his passion but

Through the night it will be mainly dry. The breeze will stay with us

particularly across the northern parts of Scotland. There is thick

cloud and rain to content with. Some of the rain in western Scotland

temperatures up, feeding more cloud into the West. A frost free start to

sitting across the North West corner of Scotland. Patchy light rain and

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

cloud and outbreaks of rain. Further south, rain is fairly patchy and

light but it is a cloudy afternoon. In Northern Ireland, highs of 15

degrees. But further west under the thicker cloud, more than more like

temperatures around 18 or 19. Some warmth around. Courtesy of the

Ireland, another blustery day. Had of it early brightness, but clouding

degrees. But along the weather front where we have the cloud and strong

winds, more like ten and 11. Definitely turning colder, back into

single figures. Colder for all of us for Friday and the weekend with a

mixture of sunshine and blustery showers. Some of those showers could
