:01:38. > :01:41.in Crimea, the region of Ukraine where the majority of people are
:01:42. > :01:44.ethnically Russian. As international leaders urge Russia to stay out of

:02:36. > :02:43.design, their weapons Russian standard issue. The airport is
:02:44. > :02:47.nominally in Ukraine but not under Ukrainian control tonight. The armed
:02:48. > :02:51.men, in green military uniforms, have taken over the building
:02:52. > :02:57.containing the control tower in Crimea's main civilian airport. This

:03:13. > :03:20.radicals from Ukraine, other regions and countries to visit us in Crimea.
:03:21. > :03:25.The extraordinary military movements went on all day. The new government
:03:26. > :03:29.in Kiev complained that these Russian attack helicopters had
:03:30. > :03:34.violated its airspace. This evening, armoured personnel carriers
:03:35. > :03:40.appeared on the road. Kiev said it was an invasion. But this woman,
:03:41. > :03:46.like many here, is suspicious of the new Kiev government and supported
:03:47. > :03:52.the Russian move. TRANSLATION: Who else can we turn
:03:53. > :03:57.to? Who can defend us? Thank goodness the Russian fleet is here
:03:58. > :04:02.to defend us. This Russian naval ship appeared at the entrance to the

:05:02. > :05:06.TRANSLATION: I am eager and ready to fight for the future of Ukraine. I
:05:07. > :05:12.was forced to leave, and there were threats to my life and to people
:05:13. > :05:19.close to me. Power was taken by nationalist, fascist thugs, who are

:05:26. > :05:31.men with machine guns and rocket propelled grenades. The TV station
:05:32. > :05:36.was also taken today. This is not yet a war, but Kiev has not moved to
:05:37. > :05:40.reassert control, and if it does, Moscow made clear today that its
:05:41. > :05:49.troops are waiting. Daniel is in Crimea tonight. Events
:05:50. > :05:54.seem to be changing quickly on the ground. What is the latest? At the
:05:55. > :05:58.moment, Crimean airspace is closed to civilian aircraft, with no
:05:59. > :06:02.civilian flights being allowed in at present. There are rumours swirling
:06:03. > :06:04.around about the arrival of many more Russian troops. First, there
:06:05. > :06:17.were suggestions that some troops were landing, four planes were
:06:18. > :06:19.landing. Then the Ukrainian ambassador to the United Nations
:06:20. > :06:22.Security Council confirmed that he believed that some planes had landed
:06:23. > :06:25.and then the Ukraine's representative in Crimea said he
:06:26. > :06:29.believed 13 transport planes had landed with 150 troops on each
:06:30. > :06:34.plane. I should say that nobody from the BBC has been able to see any of
:06:35. > :06:39.these planes or troops arriving, but there are now multiple reports of
:06:40. > :06:42.that going on. This is a situation where Ukraine does not seem to have
:06:43. > :06:47.any control over Crimea. They don't seem to be able to make any military
:06:48. > :06:51.move. There is this great risk that if they decided they had to assert
:06:52. > :06:54.their control, there would be this Russian reaction. That is why
:06:55. > :06:59.authorities in Kiev at the moment are calling this a provocation, and
:07:00. > :07:03.saying they do not intend to react. The British Foreign Office is saying
:07:04. > :07:08.that nobody should travel to Crimea and those who are here should try
:07:09. > :07:13.and leave, preferably by train. Thank you.
:07:14. > :07:15.Events in Ukraine are being monitored in Washington and
:07:16. > :07:20.President Obama has just begun speaking about the crisis. Ian
:07:21. > :07:23.Pannell is in Washington. President Obama and the Secretary of State,
:07:24. > :07:29.John Kerry, both expressing concern about events in Crimea. Yes, it is
:07:30. > :07:35.interesting that as events on the ground have ratcheted up, so has the
:07:36. > :07:37.language being used here in Washington. President Obama,
:07:38. > :07:40.literally in the last couple of minutes, saying he was deeply
:07:41. > :07:47.concerned about reports of military movements, describing any
:07:48. > :07:51.infringement of the territorial integrity of Ukraine as deeply
:07:52. > :07:56.destabilising. Earlier, John Kerry also made some reasonably strident
:07:57. > :08:00.remarks about the situation. He has a cordial relationship with his
:08:01. > :08:04.Russian counterpart, who he spoke to earlier today, in which they seemed
:08:05. > :08:08.to echo the same language about respecting that sovereignty,
:08:09. > :08:13.territorial integrity. But also, John Kerry said intervention would
:08:14. > :08:17.be a grave mistake. He said that America supported the territorial
:08:18. > :08:21.integrity of the Ukraine, and expected other nations to do the
:08:22. > :08:26.same. Again, a clear warning to Russia. There is a pre-existing
:08:27. > :08:30.agreement, the Budapest memorandum, which technically binds Britain and
:08:31. > :08:32.America to not just echo the words of supporting territorial
:08:33. > :08:37.integrity, but to actually back it up. Ian Pannell in Washington, thank
:08:38. > :08:40.you. Serial killer Joanne Dennehy has
:08:41. > :08:42.been sentenced to life in prison without parole for murdering three
:08:43. > :08:45.men and randomly selecting and attempting to kill two others. She
:08:46. > :08:47.laughed in court as the judge described her as "a cruel,
:08:48. > :08:54.calculating, selfish and manipulative serial killer". Ed
:08:55. > :09:00.Thomas reports. A killer who was calm, confident and
:09:01. > :09:05.in control. Joanne Dennehy said she wanted to be famous for killing men,
:09:06. > :09:10.and write a book. She took these pictures to celebrate her murderers.
:09:11. > :09:16.Today, she arrived at court to be called a monster. Handcuffed, inside
:09:17. > :09:20.the dock, the judge said she was a Krul, calculating serial killer.
:09:21. > :09:25.Dennehy smiled before she was told she would spend the rest of her life
:09:26. > :09:29.in prison. The fact that she will never see daylight again in the
:09:30. > :09:33.outside world is a huge comfort for the family. Whilst I do not measure
:09:34. > :09:36.success of any investigation on prison time, in this case, for
:09:37. > :09:42.Joanne Dennehy, it is absolutely the right thing that she won't come out
:09:43. > :09:48.of prison. Dennehy, the court heard, had a thirst for blood. In March
:09:49. > :09:54.last year she murdered her friend, her housemate John Chapman, and
:09:55. > :10:00.landlord Kevin Lee. Today, Kevin Lee's family gave this reaction.
:10:01. > :10:03.With -- we miss him more with each day that passes and we will all live
:10:04. > :10:07.with the legacy of the actions of Joanne Dennehy. By the time she
:10:08. > :10:13.killed, Dennehy had abandoned her two children. An alcoholic using
:10:14. > :10:17.heroin, looking for men to kill. The blade was no bigger than three
:10:18. > :10:22.inches but she was all over. Mark Lloyd met her the day she was
:10:23. > :10:28.arrested. She forced him to watch as she stabbed two strangers. In fear
:10:29. > :10:32.of his life, this CCTV shows him with the killer. She puts her arm
:10:33. > :10:37.around his neck. But you can't see is the knife hidden under her
:10:38. > :10:42.clothes. In his own -- only TV interview, he said he thought he
:10:43. > :10:47.would be the next to die. She wanted to kill someone. Anyone, right there
:10:48. > :10:52.and then, to kill. But could Dennehy have been stopped? A diagnosed
:10:53. > :10:57.psychopath, who self harm done suffered from several personality
:10:58. > :11:01.disorders. She would have been known to services. Someone has been
:11:02. > :11:04.prescribing medication to her. There is no question that she would have
:11:05. > :11:10.shown significant disturbance prior to these events. But predicting that
:11:11. > :11:15.someone is going to do something as horrific as this is an extremely
:11:16. > :11:20.difficult thing to do. The court was told -- told Dennehy killed because
:11:21. > :11:26.she wanted to see how it felt. In the dock, she laughed and swore at
:11:27. > :11:30.the judge as she revealed that she told a psychiatrist killing was
:11:31. > :11:33.Moorish and after her first murder, she wanted more. Joanne Dennehy will
:11:34. > :11:39.never be released, a murderer who thought killing was fun. Ed Thomas,

:12:24. > :12:27.taking a "mega gamble" by predicting his party could win the European
:12:28. > :12:30.elections in May. At his party conference in Torquay, he also said
:12:31. > :12:34.UKIP could return a number of MPs at the next general election and he
:12:35. > :12:37.would resign if none were elected. He was speaking to our Deputy
:12:38. > :12:38.Political Editor, James Landale. This report contains some flash
:12:39. > :12:50.photography. Some may be old, some unsteady on
:12:51. > :12:55.their feet, some perhaps even a little eccentric. What a nice day
:12:56. > :12:59.for a lovely conference. But never let it be said that UKIP members
:13:00. > :13:03.lack confidence. A Richter scale 7 political earthquake. It's going to
:13:04. > :13:06.shake this country up. For a party once dismissed as fruitcakes and
:13:07. > :13:13.loonies by David Cameron is now growing faster than any other. They
:13:14. > :13:18.can abuse us as much as they want. The more they throw all these words
:13:19. > :13:21.at us, the more people vote for us. That's why he's telling his party
:13:22. > :13:24.that not only might they win most votes at the European election, they
:13:25. > :13:30.could also win a good number of MPs at the next general election. If
:13:31. > :13:35.they win none, he'd resign. This is the moment that we've waited for.
:13:36. > :13:38.This is it. This is the big one for UKIP. Together, we can achieve
:13:39. > :13:44.something remarkable in these European Elections. We can top those
:13:45. > :13:46.polls. He told them their party was changing, broadening its appeal and,
:13:47. > :13:52.yes, involving more women and younger people. I've always loved
:13:53. > :13:57.being amongst UKIP people. It's great fun. It's like being in Dad's
:13:58. > :13:59.Army, really! Some members of UKIP continue to embarrass the
:14:00. > :14:03.leadership, most recently one blaming the floods on gay marriage.
:14:04. > :14:09.But this is a party with a spring in its step and a leader not afraid of
:14:10. > :14:12.raising expectations. I want us to get back some pride and self-respect
:14:13. > :14:16.in who we are. And if that means I'm taking a mega gamble on the European
:14:17. > :14:20.Elections on May 22nd, then so be it. So he did not mind having a
:14:21. > :14:24.slogan that, as it turned out, had once been used by the BNP. Nor was
:14:25. > :14:27.he coy about how he thinks immigration has left parts of
:14:28. > :14:32.Britain unrecognisable, such as when he caught a train recently in
:14:33. > :14:34.London. It wasn't till after we got past Grove Park that I could
:14:35. > :14:38.actually hear English being audibly spoken in the carriage. Does that
:14:39. > :14:42.make me feel slightly awkward? Yes. For some local people, that sort of
:14:43. > :14:46.message was too much, but not all. Will you vote UKIP, madam? No. Why
:14:47. > :14:49.not? Because they're too right-wing and I don't agree with their
:14:50. > :14:53.policies on immigration. Your husband, does he share your views?
:14:54. > :14:57.Certainly not. How would you vote? I'll definitely vote for UKIP. Would
:14:58. > :15:00.you vote UKIP? No. Why not? Because I think they're barking mad. How
:15:01. > :15:04.would you vote? UKIP every day. Once UKIP conferences were thinly
:15:05. > :15:09.attended. Now the car parks are full. And they're not shy of letting
:15:10. > :15:14.people know why they're here. James Landale, BBC News, Torquay.

:15:28. > :15:33.added, Scottish Government plans to scrap Air Passenger Duty could be
:15:34. > :15:39.good for the aviation industry. We will continue to fly to Scotland,
:15:40. > :15:45.and, if anything, it might be marginally positive. I suspect the

:15:56. > :15:59.carried out a huge operation targeting gangs suspected of selling

:16:16. > :16:17.?500,000 in cash have been seized. Our correspondent, Robert Hall,
:16:18. > :16:25.watched the operation unfold in Barcelona. His report contains flash
:16:26. > :16:28.photography from the start. On a quiet street in the centre of
:16:29. > :16:31.Barcelona, Spain's elite Serious Crime Unit target a scam which has

:16:38. > :16:40.team is working with colleagues from the City of London's Financial
:16:41. > :16:44.Crimes Unit. This office block is the base for what they believe is a

:17:28. > :17:32.carbon credits, which I had not heard about. He sent me loads of
:17:33. > :17:36.literature, told me a lot of stuff about it, was very knowledgeable and

:17:56. > :18:02.it is the biggest deployment it's ever made in pursuit of a fraud
:18:03. > :18:05.investigation. The aim, they say, is to decimate boiler room fraud by
:18:06. > :18:12.arresting what they term "tier one criminals". This is a crime that
:18:13. > :18:16.ignores global boundaries. It ignores international borders. It
:18:17. > :18:21.operates right across the world. What we have shown here is that we
:18:22. > :18:24.are able to do that as well. Police say these photos taken on the raids
:18:25. > :18:32.show where the money goes - luxury homes, expensive cars and top of the
:18:33. > :18:35.range personal items. The arrests won't eradicate the scam, but senior
:18:36. > :18:37.officers believe the operation they codenamed Reco will offer

:20:41. > :20:45.relationship. I don't support gay. Our school taught us it's bad and
:20:46. > :20:49.spreads disease. Most Ugandans do support the anti-gay legislation.
:20:50. > :20:52.This is a deeply religious and conservative country. Some lawyers
:20:53. > :20:56.say media reports like this one talking openly about homosexuality
:20:57. > :21:01.could be seen as promoting it which could carry a prison sentence of up
:21:02. > :21:06.to seven years. Uganda's health system is heavily reliant on foreign
:21:07. > :21:11.donors. The UK suspended direct aid to the country last year over claims
:21:12. > :21:18.of corruption. The US is considering whether to do the same over this
:21:19. > :21:24.Bill. This doctor founded this hospice 21 years ago. It is almost
:21:25. > :21:29.entirely funded by US aid. Really worried that the US has said that
:21:30. > :21:33.they are going to cut donations to Uganda because of this Bill and that
:21:34. > :21:39.is not going to affect anybody but the very poor. The country's Health
:21:40. > :21:45.Minister says if international money disappears, Uganda will cope. He
:21:46. > :21:56.also tried to reassure gay people. We are not in any way interfering
:21:57. > :21:59.with the rights of all the people of Uganda, to get the due healthcare
:22:00. > :22:04.that they need and that they deserve. Many Ugandans say they have
:22:05. > :22:08.asserted their independence by not giving into Western pressure, but
:22:09. > :22:12.with other donors threatening to follow the World Bank's example, the
:22:13. > :22:20.decision could end up costing them dearly.
:22:21. > :22:22.The Green Party leader has used her spring conference speech to
:22:23. > :22:25.re-enforce her party's opposition to fracking. Natalie Bennett told
:22:26. > :22:27.supporters in Liverpool that opposing the controversial gas

:23:14. > :23:16.Slave - with its British director and star - is tipped to come away
:23:17. > :23:19.with an Oscar or two. Our entertainment correspondent, Lizo

:23:22. > :23:25.With all the torrential rain at the moment, the plastic-covered red
:23:26. > :23:30.carpet! 12 Years A Slave is the film most people are talking about, but
:23:31. > :23:33.there is strong competition particularly from Gravity. In a
:23:34. > :23:37.couple of days, this is the exact spot where all the stars will be
:23:38. > :23:40.walking into the auditorium from all the films. Ahead of that, we have
:23:41. > :23:48.been speaking to the favourites in some of the biggest categories.
:23:49. > :23:52.The dazzling visuals of Gravity. The stark inhumanity of 12 Years A
:23:53. > :23:58.Slave. The power in the performances in Dallas Buyers Club. All are
:23:59. > :24:05.expected to be rewarded. The narrow favourite for Best Film, 12 Years A
:24:06. > :24:10.Slave. Days ago I was with my family in my home. I'm so incredibly proud
:24:11. > :24:15.that people are talking about the film in such a light. All the hard
:24:16. > :24:20.work we did on the film, the fact we are being talked about as contenders
:24:21. > :24:24.for winning an Oscar is great. It is an honour, really. Never wanting to
:24:25. > :24:26.appear too keen to win cinema's biggest prize, hopefuls tend to
:24:27. > :24:33.choose their words with care, perhaps with as much care as goes
:24:34. > :24:37.into organising the night itself. Having those words "Oscar winner" in
:24:38. > :24:40.front of their name can give even established film figures a boost
:24:41. > :24:43.that no other award can offer and that's a thought that will be on
:24:44. > :24:51.every single nominee's mind as they walk down this red carpet on Sunday.
:24:52. > :24:55.You've tested positive for HIV. It can have a big impact on a Best
:24:56. > :24:59.Actor winner. Dallas Buyers Club's Matthew McConaughey though brushes
:25:00. > :25:04.off his front-runner status. Getting it made was a minor miracle. But
:25:05. > :25:10.then we announced it's more than around, it's vital, it's being - a
:25:11. > :25:13.light has been shown on it. It has translated, it communicates with
:25:14. > :25:18.people. It appears to become personal with people. That's
:25:19. > :25:23.something I'm very proud of. Terrific! While director Alfonso
:25:24. > :25:29.Cuaron has won every major award so far for his work on Gravity. And few
:25:30. > :25:32.expect that trend to change. How do you feel about being the favourite
:25:33. > :25:39.for Sunday? Well, those things, I don't think so much about it. I just
:25:40. > :25:42.take it one day at a time. And it's a celebration. I'm going to have
:25:43. > :25:45.fun, no matter what. Still, the Oscars sometimes deliver surprises,
:25:46. > :25:47.even the odd shock, and on Sunday the predictions will become
:25:48. > :25:55.irrelevant as millions watch across the globe to see who will take home
:25:56. > :26:03.a coveted statuette. Lizo Mzimba, BBC News, Hollywood.
:26:04. > :26:07.It's a stunning natural phenomenon that is rarely visible from anywhere
:26:08. > :26:10.in the UK apart from the remotest parts of Scotland. But last night,
:26:11. > :26:12.the Northern Lights put on a spectacular display that was clearly
:26:13. > :26:18.visible from Orkney down to Norfolk, even as far south as
:26:19. > :26:21.Jersey. The bright dancing lights known as the Aurora Borealis are
:26:22. > :26:24.caused by solar particles interacting with the Earth's
:26:25. > :26:27.magnetic field and atmosphere. The spectacle gave thousands of us a
:26:28. > :26:32.rare chance to witness one of nature's most magical events.
:26:33. > :26:38.That's all from us. Don't forget a first look at the papers over on the
:26:39. > :26:39.BBC News Channel. Now on BBC One, it's time for the news where you
