:00:10. > :00:18.cabinet minister Tony Benn has died. You have changed the constitution of

:00:19. > :00:21.this country by your own power. An MP for more than 50 years and

:00:22. > :00:28.tireless campaigner for socialism, he is remembered across the

:00:29. > :00:33.political divide. Tony Benn, you always knew what he stood for and

:00:34. > :00:39.who he stood up for, which is why he was admired across the political

:00:40. > :00:43.spectrum. The country has lost a great campaigner and writer, and

:00:44. > :00:46.someone whose words will be followed keenly for many years to come, so a

:00:47. > :00:50.sad day for British politics. We'll look back at the life of a man

:00:51. > :00:52.whose passion for his often divisive brand of politics remained undimmed

:00:53. > :00:55.to the end. Also tonight: Handshake but no deal

:00:56. > :00:57.- talks between Russia and the US fail to find any common ground over

:00:58. > :01:00.Ukraine. The shocking image of Oscar

:01:01. > :01:05.Pistorius splattered with his girlfriend's blood shown at his

:01:06. > :01:07.trial for her murder. An automatic signal from the missing

:01:08. > :01:14.Malaysian airliner suggests it flew on for five hours after air traffic

:01:15. > :01:17.control lost contact with it. Lord Windermere has lifted the Gold

:01:18. > :01:18.Cup. A rank outsider becomes the toast of

:01:27. > :01:31.West Brom by announcing he's leaving. The club dispute this and

:01:32. > :01:53.expect their verdict on his quennelle gesture next week.

:01:54. > :01:58.Good evening. Tony Benn, the leading voice of the

:01:59. > :02:03.radical left in British politics for more than 50 years, has died. He was

:02:04. > :02:05.88. There have been tributes from across the political spectrum today

:02:06. > :02:09.for the former Labour cabinet minister. He has been hailed by his

:02:10. > :02:12.supporters as a fearless fighter for what he believed in, irrespective of

:02:13. > :02:15.whether it was popular. Even his opponents have praised him as

:02:16. > :02:19.magnificent campaigner and orator. His family said simply that they

:02:20. > :02:22.were comforted by the memory of his long, full and inspiring life.

:02:23. > :02:30.Here's our political editor, Nick Robinson.

:02:31. > :02:40.We will not accept the cuts that they are trying to make. No protest,

:02:41. > :02:46.no demo, no march was quite complete without Tony Benn. He joked that age

:02:47. > :02:51.had transformed him into a national treasure, where once the power of

:02:52. > :02:56.his rhetoric had led to him being proclaimed the most dangerous man in

:02:57. > :03:00.Britain. Transfer all of the powers back from a common market commission

:03:01. > :03:06.to the House of Commons also within a matter of weeks. People, he said,

:03:07. > :03:10.only started being nice to him when he became harmless. There were

:03:11. > :03:15.people who agreed and disagreed with him even within my own party, but

:03:16. > :03:19.people at my the sense of conviction and integrity that shone through

:03:20. > :03:25.from Tony Benn. Dash-macro people add mired. I disagree with most of

:03:26. > :03:27.what he said that he was or was engaging and interesting and you

:03:28. > :03:31.were never bored when reading or listening to him, and the country

:03:32. > :03:37.has lost a great campaigner and writer. Anthony Wedgwood Benn was

:03:38. > :03:42.born into the establishment. The modern face of the Labour Party in

:03:43. > :03:46.the 1960s was the sum of a Viscount, who had to fight in the courts to

:03:47. > :03:53.announce his title so he could run for election and become plain Tony

:03:54. > :03:56.Benn MP. You have defeated the courts and changed the concert

:03:57. > :04:01.Jewish and of this country by your own power. Benn was not always a

:04:02. > :04:05.radical. As a minister in the 1970s, he unveiled Concorde as a symbol of

:04:06. > :04:12.the new high-tech Britain which Labour promised to create. But he

:04:13. > :04:16.concluded that he and his party had failed to change society because of

:04:17. > :04:21.all the policies which he claimed Labour's leadership had simply

:04:22. > :04:25.refused to implement. Reflation of public sector spending, ruled out.

:04:26. > :04:34.Substantial cut in arms expenditure, ruled out. The immediate

:04:35. > :04:36.intervention of... Anti-Europe, antinuclear weapons,

:04:37. > :04:43.pro-nationalisation, he won the argument but failed, just, in a bid

:04:44. > :04:56.to become Labour's deputy leader. Tony Benn, 49.574. Denis Healey,

:04:57. > :05:00.50.426. Labour soon split. Some on the right left to form a new party.

:05:01. > :05:06.Those who stayed, like Denis Healey, will never forget the legacy of

:05:07. > :05:11.division. There was quite a lot of bitterness, really, because I felt

:05:12. > :05:15.he was doing the party enormous damage, and I'm sure he was at that

:05:16. > :05:24.time, by the way he behaved, not just his views. But, as I say, all

:05:25. > :05:29.that disappeared in later life. Michael Foot led Labour to its worst

:05:30. > :05:34.ever election defeat, on a manifesto mocked as the longest suicide note

:05:35. > :05:40.in history. The left lane and the splitters, the Right blamed Benn. He

:05:41. > :05:44.was prophetic in the way that he spoke, seeing the great vision, but

:05:45. > :05:49.it belonged to the past, essentially. For such a modern

:05:50. > :05:54.minded man, technically, he was quite old-fashioned, politically. He

:05:55. > :05:58.longed for society that had gone. The tide of ideas was not with him

:05:59. > :06:03.but in Parliament he continued the fight. The Humphrey Applebys of

:06:04. > :06:07.every country in Europe have got together and they say, you can't do

:06:08. > :06:10.this, Minister, because we have agreed with the Dutch that if they

:06:11. > :06:14.do this the Belgians won't object to what the Italians have said to the

:06:15. > :06:21.people. So the Minister has no power anyway. Benn, one of the generation

:06:22. > :06:26.of politicians who fought in the war, chose to leave the Commons to

:06:27. > :06:29.fight for his ideas, joking that he could now spend more time on

:06:30. > :06:36.politics, where it matters, beyond Westminster. If there is anybody

:06:37. > :06:45.here from new Labour, your money will be re-funded if you leave

:06:46. > :06:51.quietly. And through all of this, he kept a diary, and unmatched

:06:52. > :06:55.chronicle of post-war British politics and his philosophy. The

:06:56. > :06:59.real division in society is between the people who create wealth by

:07:00. > :07:03.working, and those who own the wealth. And those who own the wealth

:07:04. > :07:09.have far too much power, and they use it to control those who create

:07:10. > :07:15.the wealth. After the last of eight volumes was published, he spoke

:07:16. > :07:18.about life and death. At my age, you do ask yourself how long you have

:07:19. > :07:23.got and what it will be like when you die. And my wife said she

:07:24. > :07:27.thought death was a great adventure. She was dying of cancer for five

:07:28. > :07:33.years, and her courage when she knew her time was up was very great and

:07:34. > :07:38.impressed me very much. And so I learned from her how to die, and I

:07:39. > :07:45.have thought a lot about it. But I'm not afraid of dying at all. Tony

:07:46. > :07:48.Benn, who died this morning. And Huw Edwards has a special

:07:49. > :07:53.programme on Tony Benn's life later tonight - Tony Benn, Labour's Lost

:07:54. > :07:57.Leader, on BBC Two at 11.10pm. A day of talks between Russia and

:07:58. > :08:00.the US in London ended with Russia's Foreign Minister saying the two

:08:01. > :08:03.countries have no common vision over the crisis in Ukraine. Sergei Lavrov

:08:04. > :08:06.insisted there's no plan to invade the country, despite a build up of

:08:07. > :08:09.Russian troops on the eastern border. US Secretary of State, John

:08:10. > :08:11.Kerry, said America will not recognise Sunday's referendum in

:08:12. > :08:15.Crimea over whether the region should remain in Ukraine. Our

:08:16. > :08:26.diplomatic correspondent Bridget Kendall has more.

:08:27. > :08:31.An intensive six hours of talks in the sunshine at the US ambassador's

:08:32. > :08:36.London garden. At stake, the future of relations between the West and

:08:37. > :08:42.Russia. But at the end of it, no narrowing of the gap over Ukraine's

:08:43. > :08:45.future. The urgency is the referendum planned for Sunday in

:08:46. > :08:50.Crimea, which means the region could either break away from Ukraine, or

:08:51. > :08:53.even opt to join Russia, which Kiev and the West say would be illegal

:08:54. > :08:59.and a violation of Ukraine's sovereignty. With preparations

:09:00. > :09:05.underway, there seems little chance of calling it off. But John Kerry

:09:06. > :09:09.flew to London for one last try, and to warn his Russian counterpart that

:09:10. > :09:14.if Crimea is effectively annexed by Russia, there will be grave

:09:15. > :09:20.consequences. We believe that a decision to move forward I Russia,

:09:21. > :09:24.to ratify that vote sufficiently would in fact be a back door

:09:25. > :09:31.annexation of Crimea, and that it would be against international law.

:09:32. > :09:34.But Mr Lavrov said disagreements remained, and he indicated that if

:09:35. > :09:42.Crimea votes to join Russia, Moscow will not stand in its way. Can you

:09:43. > :09:46.be clear, Mr Lavrov. After Sunday's referendum, do you expect Crimea to

:09:47. > :09:53.become independent, or to become part of the Russian Federation?

:09:54. > :09:57.TRANSLATION: As for the referee -- the referendum on Sunday, I and

:09:58. > :10:00.President Putin have said we will respect the choice of the Crimean

:10:01. > :10:05.people and we will make our position clear once the outcome is known. It

:10:06. > :10:08.is clear these last-ditch talks have got nowhere and there is nothing the

:10:09. > :10:14.West can do if the Russian speakers of Crimea want to break away from

:10:15. > :10:17.Ukraine and join Russia. And the stage is set for new Western

:10:18. > :10:21.sanctions against Russia next week and a deterioration further in East

:10:22. > :10:27.-West relations, with who knows what consequences. And immediately, a

:10:28. > :10:31.further worry, the violence that exploded in eastern Ukraine last

:10:32. > :10:36.night. Mr Lavrov today said that Russia had no plans to intervene,

:10:37. > :10:39.but his Foreign Ministry warned that Russia reserves the right to protect

:10:40. > :10:42.its compatriots, a worrying hint of possible things to come.

:10:43. > :10:46.Our World Affairs Editor, John Simpson, is in Simferopol. The

:10:47. > :10:49.Russian Foreign Minister was not giving much away at talks in London

:10:50. > :10:59.today, but attention will be focused on the referendum in Crimea on

:11:00. > :11:05.Sunday and Russia's response to it. Absolutely. I don't think there is

:11:06. > :11:10.any doubt what the result is going to be. I don't know whether you can

:11:11. > :11:15.see this, but this is essentially the ballot paper, a version of it,

:11:16. > :11:20.which has been put out. You can get it in public buildings. There are

:11:21. > :11:25.just two questions. One, do you want to be part of Russia, and a waffly

:11:26. > :11:29.question saying, do you want to go back to the 1992 arrangements where

:11:30. > :11:36.Ukraine and Crimea were part of the same thing? There is no question of

:11:37. > :11:40.saying, I just want to stay in Ukraine. And I don't think there is

:11:41. > :11:45.any doubt about the answer. And I am sure that Western countries have

:11:46. > :11:49.realised this, and they are not really focusing on Crimea now at

:11:50. > :11:53.all. They are assuming, whatever they say, they are assuming that the

:11:54. > :12:01.real danger is, will Russia move into East Ukraine. The trouble in

:12:02. > :12:06.some cities there has shown they could well have a pretext for doing

:12:07. > :12:10.so. And rather ominously, the Russian government has taken to

:12:11. > :12:15.saying it reserves the right to defend the lives of Russian

:12:16. > :12:21.citizens. Well, that is precisely what they said just before they

:12:22. > :12:25.moved into Crimea. I think, Fiona, we are in for a pretty dangerous

:12:26. > :12:28.couple of weeks now. Thank you. It's emerged that a Conservative

:12:29. > :12:31.peer killed in a helicopter crash in Norfolk last night had started legal

:12:32. > :12:35.proceedings against the manufacturer of the aircraft. Lord Ballyedmond

:12:36. > :12:39.was one of four people who died when the helicopter came down in deep

:12:40. > :12:41.fog. He was suing AgustaWestland, claiming his helicopter had

:12:42. > :12:52.technical defects. Sian Lloyd reports. In a field, only 500 yards

:12:53. > :12:58.interest from where it took off, the remains of AugustaWestland

:12:59. > :13:04.helicopter. It crashed just after 7. 30pm last night in fog. James

:13:05. > :13:07.Tattle, who works nearby, saw the aircraft moments before it crashed.

:13:08. > :13:13.The helicopter came over the back here. It was pitching, like at a 45

:13:14. > :13:17.degree angle. I thought he was in trouble. I thought he was coming

:13:18. > :13:25.down lower because of the weather atmosphere. We had been doing our

:13:26. > :13:31.work and it just went out of sight. On board was 70-year-old, Lord

:13:32. > :13:34.Ballyedmond, a multimillionaire entrepreneur who founded a

:13:35. > :13:37.pharmaceutical company and had been a politician in the Irish

:13:38. > :13:42.Parliament. Tributes have been paid to the Conservative peer. He started

:13:43. > :13:49.off basically with nothing. He built a huge business. He became the

:13:50. > :13:54.richest man in Northern Ireland. The salaries he paid his employees put

:13:55. > :14:00.?50 million per annum into the Northern Ireland economy. The

:14:01. > :14:02.helicopter was a common site at Lord Ballyedmond's estate, Gillingham

:14:03. > :14:06.Hall. This footage was taken last week. The peer had raised concerns

:14:07. > :14:11.about possible defects with the helicopter. The manufacturer,

:14:12. > :14:14.AugustaWestland, said it couldn't comment, due to the ongoing

:14:15. > :14:18.investigation. But it did say there could be many possible causes

:14:19. > :14:23.including tech nubbal and human error.

:14:24. > :14:27.-- technical. It is not known yet if the weather played a part. When

:14:28. > :14:31.emergency services arrived last night, visibility was poor. And

:14:32. > :14:35.police have been at the site all day, preserving the crash scene

:14:36. > :14:41.while air accident investigators carried out their work. They'll be

:14:42. > :14:45.looking at what caused this crash. An experienced pilot, who lives

:14:46. > :14:51.nearby, said he was surprised that it had been flying. There are

:14:52. > :14:57.visibility criteria when taking off and landing. If the fog was as bad

:14:58. > :15:00.as it was in Beckles at the time, I was surprised he would take off in

:15:01. > :15:04.something like that. The bodous of the four men have now been removed.

:15:05. > :15:10.-- the bodies. Two pilots and a member of o Lord Ballyedmond's staff

:15:11. > :15:11.were also on board. The job of looking for evidence at the scene

:15:12. > :15:22.goes on. A week after the Malaysian Airlines

:15:23. > :15:25.777 airliner went missing, it's emerged that it could have flown on

:15:26. > :15:28.for up to five hours after air traffic controllers lost contact

:15:29. > :15:31.with it. 13 countries are now engaged in the ever-widening search.

:15:32. > :15:36.It disappeared over the South China Sea shortly after it left Kuala

:15:37. > :15:38.Lumpur, en route to Beijing. Now there's a suggestion the plane may

:15:39. > :15:43.have been deliberately flown across the Malay Peninsula towards the

:15:44. > :15:46.Andaman Islands in the Indian Ocean. The search area has now been

:15:47. > :15:52.extended to cover 27,000 square nautical miles. 57 ships and 48

:15:53. > :15:56.aircraft are searching the Indian Ocean, the South China Sea and the

:15:57. > :16:05.Malacca Straits. Rupert Wingfield-Hayes reports from

:16:06. > :16:09.Malaysia. In Beijing today the hostility towards Malaysia Airlines

:16:10. > :16:13.officious was palpable. One of the most important things that Malaysia

:16:14. > :16:17.Airlines has been doing throughout this event is not speculating. But

:16:18. > :16:22.no-one here is satisfied with that explanation. How can their loved

:16:23. > :16:33.ones have simply disappeared? It is incomprehensible. Trans Sonic We are

:16:34. > :16:39.very disappoint -- Translation. We are very disappointed with the

:16:40. > :16:42.Malaysian Government. Until we get accurate information, we'll continue

:16:43. > :16:48.making wild guesses. Astonishingly, a week on, there is still no trace

:16:49. > :16:53.of Flight MH 370. But today, the BBC learned that the

:16:54. > :16:59.plane continued sending out a signal via satellite for five hours after

:17:00. > :17:03.rude oar contact was lost. -- radar. In the last 24 hours we have seen a

:17:04. > :17:07.significant shift of resources of ships and aircraft from the original

:17:08. > :17:11.search area in the gulf of Thailand, on the far side of the Malay

:17:12. > :17:17.Peninsula, over to here, to the straight of malaka and even far out

:17:18. > :17:22.into the Indian Ocean. The latest to join this shift has been the US

:17:23. > :17:25.Navy, which is sending one of its destroyers up here today. What we

:17:26. > :17:32.don't know, what still remains very unclear is why. Cap particular Nick

:17:33. > :17:36.Huzlun was a Malaysian Airlines pilot for 35 years and is a personal

:17:37. > :17:43.friend of the missing plane's captain. If it seems possible it

:17:44. > :17:47.turned around and flew back over the peninsula and out into the Indian

:17:48. > :17:55.Ocean, what scenario are we talking about now? It keeps on flying for a

:17:56. > :17:58.certain period of time while the communications system is not

:17:59. > :18:02.functioning, whether it is disabled or not, we do not know, but not

:18:03. > :18:07.functioning, it rauss a flag. Everything is working. -- it raises

:18:08. > :18:11.a flag. The aeroplane is working well, flying under control - why are

:18:12. > :18:16.you not talking to me? Why are you not talking to me? There is a loud

:18:17. > :18:20.whisper is talking in my ears about human intervention. Malaysia's Prime

:18:21. > :18:24.Minister joined prayers for the missing today. But many here now

:18:25. > :18:28.think his government knows much more about the fate of flight MH 370 than

:18:29. > :18:40.it is letting on. In March 2011, a demonstration began

:18:41. > :18:44.in the southern Syrian town of Deraa against the government of President

:18:45. > :18:46.Assad. It sparked a civil war that three years on is still raging.

:18:47. > :18:51.Since the conflict began, an estimated 140,000 people have died.

:18:52. > :18:54.6.5 million people have been displaced from their homes within

:18:55. > :19:00.Syria and 2.5 million have fled the country. Increasingly, the various

:19:01. > :19:05.groups opposing President Assad are fighting amongst themselves. The

:19:06. > :19:09.Kurds in the north-east clash daily with Islamist and other rebel

:19:10. > :19:12.groups. Jim Muir gained rare access to the region, near the town of

:19:13. > :19:16.Kamishli and sent this report At the trial of Oscar Pistorius,

:19:17. > :19:30.Killed by a suicide bomber. Another fighter is given an

:19:31. > :19:35.emotional funeral. He is among more than 500 from the Syrian Kurdish

:19:36. > :19:39.militia who have dude in the struggle with Islamic extremists,

:19:40. > :19:43.not the Assad regime. This part of Syria is controlled by the Kurds. We

:19:44. > :19:46.had a rare glimpse of women fighters who make up part of the Kurdish

:19:47. > :19:51.force. The family of the man who died,

:19:52. > :19:58.blamed foreign Jihadis and those who send them. "You cold-blooded

:19:59. > :20:03.British, you are sending us all the scum of Britain, the scum of Europe

:20:04. > :20:09.and all in the name of Islam. They grow their beds but they have

:20:10. > :20:14.nothing to do with Islam." This group, even more extreme than

:20:15. > :20:19.Al-Qaeda, are on the offensive here. This mosque was virtually demolished

:20:20. > :20:24.what enthey attacked this village recently. It belonged to a sector of

:20:25. > :20:28.Islam they don't like. This was not some random damage here. This was

:20:29. > :20:34.wholesale and systematic destruction of the mosque. There is virtually

:20:35. > :20:38.nothing left. They even burned a pile of Korans, for most Muslims,

:20:39. > :20:42.the ultimate insult. The Kurds are now back in control of that village,

:20:43. > :20:47.but it is still deserted. The group are only a few miles away. This

:20:48. > :20:53.struggle is also about who controls the oil that abounds here. Gangs

:20:54. > :21:00.fight over it at night. By day, home-made mini refineries lake this,

:21:01. > :21:04.pump out pollution. This nearby village was occupied last year by

:21:05. > :21:09.the official Al-Qaeda group in Syria. Kurdish forces drove them

:21:10. > :21:18.out. The villagers say they were glad to see the back of them.

:21:19. > :21:21.No, no, no, when they attacked, the whole village fled. They ruined

:21:22. > :21:25.everything. We certainly don't want them back. If they were here, you
