:00:27. > :00:30.been voting on whether they want to stay part of the country or become
:00:31. > :00:34.independent. The organisers of the vote claim 90% of people who voted
:00:35. > :00:38.in one of the regions want to separate from Ukraine and rule the
:00:39. > :00:49.area themselves. The poll has been described as illegal by the European
:00:50. > :00:55.Union and the United States. It is a very critical moment in this

:02:05. > :02:07.people who are involved in World War I are being remembered in an online
:02:08. > :02:11.archive. The material for the lives of the First World War Project has
:02:12. > :02:14.been collected by the Imperial War Museum. It would now like relatives
:02:15. > :02:17.of those who served to share old letters, photographs and documents
:02:18. > :02:20.so the project can continue to grow. Sports news next and Ashley Cole has

:02:54. > :02:58.cup. It is the biggest decision of his managerial career. He can make
:02:59. > :03:08.dreams come true and break the hearts of others. If you were in his
:03:09. > :03:14.shoes, who would you pick? Roy, who are you taking to Brazil? Leighton
:03:15. > :03:23.Baines, Daniel Sturridge, Steven Gerrard. Rooney has had a good
:03:24. > :03:30.season. Glen Johnson. Steven Gerrard because he has been the best. Joe
:03:31. > :03:45.Hart Lee is good. What about the outsiders? Adam Lallana, Ashley
:03:46. > :03:55.Cole. Raheem Sterling. Jack Wilshere. It has been Theo Walcott

:04:41. > :04:44.people and bold designs took to the air for a short time in the first
:04:45. > :04:47.Asian flight day race in China. Victoria Harbour was taken over by
