the Ukraine crisis. There's been a lot of unrest in Ukraine between	:00:33.	:00:35.
people in the country who support closer ties to Russia and those who	:00:36.	:00:38.
don't. Russian forces recently took control of Crimea, in southern	:00:39.	:00:41.
Ukraine, something Obama said was illegal. During the call the two	:00:42.	:00:44.
leaders discussed the build up of Russian troops on Ukraine's border.	:00:45.	:00:47.
Their foreign ministers will meet soon to discuss what to do next.	:00:48.	:00:51.
A big change to the law in England and Wales came in overnight - same	:00:52.	:00:55.
sex couples are now allowed to get married. Martin has been looking in	:00:56.	:00:58.
to the change, which has sparked some strong views.	:00:59.	:01:01.
I am now very happy to announce that you are now legally...	:01:02.	:01:04.
Just after midnight these people were celebrating getting married. Up	:01:05.	:01:08.
until now, two men or two women were not allowed to marry each other -	:01:09.	:01:12.
but now the law has changed. But while there were celebrations for	:01:13.	:01:15.
those getting married, not everyone is happy with the change. Those	:01:16.	:01:20.
against it, including many religious groups, say that marriage has been	:01:21.	:01:24.
between a man and a woman for hundreds of years and it shouldn't	:01:25.	:01:27.
be altered. Up until today same-sex couples could only have a civil	:01:28.	:01:30.

individual religious organisations to choose whether or not they want	:01:37.	:01:40.
to hold ceremonies for gay people. Some, like the Church of England and	:01:41.	:01:43.

Attitudes to gay people vary across the world: 16 countries currently	:01:53.	:01:55.
allow same-sex marriage, but in others, such as Iran and Nigeria,	:01:56.	:01:59.
it's illegal for a man to have a relationship with a man, or a woman	:02:00.	:02:02.
with a woman. Scotland has also passed a law making gay marriage	:02:03.	:02:06.
legal but there are no plans to do the same in Northern Ireland.	:02:07.	:02:17.
Sport - and Man United take on Aston Villa today with the big focus will	:02:18.	:02:21.

fly over Old Trafford, towing a banner protesting against manager	:02:26.	:02:28.
David Moyes after their worst ever Premier League season. Here's what	:02:29.	:02:31.
the man himself thinks: There has been great support inside	:02:32.	:02:35.
the ground. I'm witnessing great support from the people I bump into	:02:36.	:02:38.
