An American soldier goes on the rampage in Afghanistan killing at | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
least 16 civilians. Mourners gathered at the scene as the | :00:14. | :00:20. | |
country's President confirmed there are nine children among the dead. | :00:20. | :00:27. | |
A year on from the tsunami. Japan remembers its dead and missing. | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
The Catholic Church steps up its opposition to Government proposals | :00:31. | :00:40. | |
to legalise same-sex marriage. And England's young Lions beat | :00:40. | :00:50. | |

France in a thrilling match in the Six Nations. Good evening. An | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
American soldier has shot dead at least 16 villagers in their homes, | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
nine of them children. Afghanistan's President has called | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
the incident unforgivable and the US Embassy in Kabul is warning of | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
possible anti-American reprisals. Quentin Somerville is in the Afghan | :01:14. | :01:20. | |
capital for us now. Well, news of the killings hasn't | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
quite sunk in here in Afghanistan, yet pts Karzai said these were | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
assassinations, intentional killings, murder and terror that | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
cannot be forgiven. -- President Karzai. In a remote corner of | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
Kandahar, crowds gather outside an American base in silent protest at | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
a slaughter in their village. An American soldier from inside these | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
walls, they say, committed the massacre. | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
There's grief and disbelief that their neighbours, including women | :01:50. | :01:58. | |
and children, were shot dead in their homes. A two-year-old was one | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
of nine children killed by the gunman. TRANSLATION: They killed a | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
child. Was this child the Taliban? Believe me, I've not seen a two- | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
year-old Taliban. There are no Taliban here. Americans are always | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
threatening us with dogs and helicopter during night raids. | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
The serving officer, believed to be a staff sergeant, left the base at | :02:17. | :02:27. | |
:02:27. | :02:28. | ||
3am. He travelled from the military outpost in which a villager said | :02:28. | :02:34. | |
the soldier attacked three houses. In one house, he woke a family, | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
then killed all 11. He then set the bodies on fire. | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
This was murder, careful and precise, most were killed with a | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
single shot to, including the children. At the American Embassy | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
in Kabul, a full investigation was promised. | :02:50. | :02:56. | |
We deplore any attack by a member of the US Armed Forces against | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
innocent civilians and denounce all violence against civilians. | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
America's reputation here is taking a beating. Last month, it was | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
revealed that US soldiers burnt copies of the Koran. That provoked | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
outrage throughout the country. This incident is quite shocking and | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
this is really not acceptable to the Afghan people. But at the end, | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
it will be the government of Afghanistan to take up this issue. | :03:20. | :03:26. | |
Kabul is peaceful now, but trouble is expected. This is an atrocity, | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
one in a series that is losing the spwr national mission here its most | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
important supporter, the Afghan people. | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
Well, President Obama has said that he was deeply saddened by these | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
events and they don't represent the American military here in | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
Afghanistan. Of course, Afghans over the past ten months have seen | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
the Koran being burnt inadvertently by American soldiers, American | :03:53. | :03:59. | |
marines urinating on the bodies of Afghan insurgents and now this, one | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
ex-American diplomat said tonight, the Afghan people are really | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
running out of patience with America. | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
Thank you. It's exactly a year since a massive earthquake and | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
tsunami struck the north-east coast of Japan. Today, ceremonies have | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
been held across the country to remember the 20,000 people who were | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
killed. A minutes' silence was observed at the moment the quake | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
hit, 2.46 local time in the afternoon. Roland Bank of America | :04:26. | :04:34. | |
sent this report from one of thes worst affected areas. -- Roland | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
Beurk. In a mon industry on Japan's north-east coast, a bell marked the | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
precise moment the earthquake hit one year ago. | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
The country came to a standstill, remembering the missing and the | :04:49. | :04:55. | |
dead. TRANSLATION: I couldn't even say goodbye to my brother and it | :04:55. | :05:01. | |
still hurts deeply. TRANSLATION: wanted to save people but I | :05:01. | :05:08. | |
couldn't, I couldn't even help my father. Across devastated towns, | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
the tsunami warning sirens sounded again today, and the bereaved stood | :05:12. | :05:19. | |
with their heads bowed. The Emperor led a memorial ceremony | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
in Tokyo, the entire nation has been traumatised by the worst | :05:22. | :05:31. | |
natural disaster in living memory. TRANSLATION: We are all gathered | :05:31. | :05:38. | |
together in deep mourning to offer condolences to the deceased. | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
The one who lived through -- no-one who lived through that day can | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
forget the panic and fear. Entire neighbourhoods smashed, the rush to | :05:46. | :05:52. | |
escape, children, parents, grand parents swept away to their deaths. | :05:52. | :05:58. | |
Today, the towns where so many lost their lives look like wastelands. | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
Over the last year, a huge clear-up operation has been carried out | :06:03. | :06:09. | |
along the coast. This place was full of wreckage. Now pretty much | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
all of it has been removed. All you can see are the foundations of the | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
buildings and the layout of the streets where people's homes and | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
shops once stood. Even if the survivors want to | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
return here, rebuilding hasn't even begun. | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
In Fukushima, it's the radiation from the crippled nuclear plant | :06:31. | :06:37. | |
that's preventing people from going home. Wearing protective suits, one | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
group was allowed into the exclusion zone today and within a | :06:40. | :06:48. | |
mile of the melted down reactors. Others found themselves drawn to | :06:48. | :06:54. | |
the beach, to three flowers on the sea that stole the lives of so many. | :06:54. | :07:03. | |
Calm today, a year after bringing such misery. | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
Here, a memorial service has been held for the six British soldiers | :07:07. | :07:14. | |
killed in Afghanistan last week. The soldiers, including five from | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
third gal yon the Yorkshire regiment died wean bomb exploded | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
under their vehicle in Helmand. The candle was lit for each of them | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
during the service of remembrance in Halifax Minster. Liberal | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
Democrat activists have refused to endorse the coalition's | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
controversial changes to the National Health Service in England. | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
Tt party's Spring Conference voted to reject a call for support for | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
the Government's health bill which has been backed by the Lib Dem | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
leader, Nick Clegg. He acknowledged that the issue has been difficult | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
for the party. From the conference in Gatess head, our Political | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
Correspondent, Vicki Young, reports. Is it time to listen to the Lib | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
Dems on health... It's been a bruising battle over health and | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
today Lib Dems landed another punch on their leader, Nick Clegg. They | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
were up bright and early, eager to voice their worries about an NHS | :08:01. | :08:07. | |
reorganisation which they fear is bad for patients. You should never | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
turn supporting a bad Bill into a political testosterone and vir | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
illity test. When faced with a high speed train crash, it's best to | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
slam on the brakes. We are screwed if we pass it and screwed if we | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
don't. Lib Dem peer and conference favourite Shirley Williams did her | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
best to convince colleagues that enough safeguards had now been put | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
in the Bill. I wouldn't be standing here and I wouldn't have stuck with | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
the Bill if I believed for one moment that it undermined the NHS. | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
On the contrary, I think there are many ways in which it will | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
strengthen the NHS and that's at the heart of all that we do. That | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
wasn't enough and activists voted not to back the Bill. It won't | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
change Government policy, but it was an uncomfortable moment for | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
Nick Clegg. The Health Service is an institution that voters care | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
passionately about a no political party can afford to lose the | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
voters' trust on such a crucialish yuefplt that's why there's intense | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
debate about this Health Bill, Nick Clegg admitting the Government | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
didn't do enough to make the case for change. He didn't dwell on the | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
issue when he addressed the party faithful, but Mr Clegg tried to | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
reassure. This is a Bill for patients, not profits. It isn't a | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
Liberal Democrat Health Bill, but it is a better Bill because of the | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
Liberal Democrats. Mr Clegg was keen to move on and | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
set out his priorities for the Budget, fewer people paying income | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
tax but the wealthy contributing more. The sight of the wealthiest | :09:33. | :09:39. | |
scheming to keep their tax bill down to the bare minimum is frankly | :09:39. | :09:45. | |
disgraceful. So we will call time on the tycoon | :09:45. | :09:51. | |
tax dodgers and make sure everyone pays a fair level of tax. | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
They can all agree on that, but Nick Clegg will be disappointed | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
that after telling his party to move on from the arguments on | :09:58. | :10:05. | |
health, he's been defiantly ignored. The Catholic Church in England and | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
Wales is stepping up its criticism and its campaign against the | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
Government's proposal to legalise same sex marriage. A letter from | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
two of the senior Archbishops has been read out in 2,500 churches | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
urging congregations to fight the plan. This report from our | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
religious correspondent, Robert Pigott. | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
These are the foot soldiers, the Catholic Church is recruiting to | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
fight plans for gay marriage. The Archbishop's letter said | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
marriage was based on a natural instinct for men and women to form | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
partnerships to bring up children. They claim the Government's | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
proposal would undermine traditional marriage. A change in | :10:45. | :10:51. | |
the law would reduce it, just to the commitment of the two people | :10:51. | :10:56. | |
involved. Priests also got a covering letter asking them to | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
mobilise congregations, but few here need any persuasion. | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
I think marriage should stay as it is, between a man and woman, not | :11:03. | :11:09. | |
between two same-sex people. Civil partnership is brilliant, but not | :11:09. | :11:17. | |
marriage. I think civil partnership is enough for gays or lesbians. | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
the Catholic hierarchy there could barely be more at stake. They | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
regard it as threatening to undermine one of the key | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
institutions giving shape to society and greatly to reduce the | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
church's influence in it. That's why they are telling the faithful | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
today they have a duty to act and to act now. | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
One of the Archbishops who wrote today's letter says no Government | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
has the authority to redefine marriage. | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
It's the common understanding and recognition for centuries, | :11:44. | :11:50. | |
thousands of years, that marriage is between a man and a woman. That | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
will never change. It's hard wired into our human nature. That's the | :11:54. | :12:00. | |
way we are made. But, campaigners say the church has no right to | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
intervene. The Government proposals are simply | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
about civil marriages in registry offices, not about religious | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
marriages at all. So the church has no legitimate justification for | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
demanding that it has a veto over gay marriage. | :12:15. | :12:21. | |
The latest poll by ICM for the Sunday tp telegraph suggests that | :12:21. | :12:30. | |
45% of people support gay marriage to 36% against -- The Telegraph. | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
Some said changing the law was not a priority. Time for the sports | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
news now. Hello there. We start with football. | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
What an important weekend it could prove to be in the Premier League | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
title race. Defeat for Manchester City today and a win for Manchester | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
United that's put them back on top of the table. Wayne Rooney scored | :12:47. | :12:53. | |
both their goals in their 2-0 win at home against West Brom. | :12:53. | :13:00. | |
And Sir Alex Ferguson said this was a bonus, Mancini's Manchester City | :13:00. | :13:09. | |
losing 1-0 at Swansea. Moore with the Swans' winner. | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
Wigan failed to climb off the bottom of the table, but drew 1-1 | :13:13. | :13:19. | |
against Norwich at Carrow Road. Moses with their equaliser. | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
Celtic are through to the Scottish Cup semi-finals after beating ten- | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
man Dundee United 4-0 at Tannadice. It was 0-0 at half time, but the | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
extra man counted with four different goal scorers after the | :13:31. | :13:38. | |
break. Samaras got number two. They'll now play Hearts or St | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
Mirren, Aberdeen will play Hibs in the other cup semi. Rugby Union now | :13:41. | :13:48. | |
and England have beaten France in Paris by 24-22 with one more round | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
of matches in the Six Nations Championship Wales are still strong | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
favourites for the title and a possible Grand Slam. After today's | :13:55. | :14:05. | |
:14:05. | :14:05. | ||
result, England could still catch them. Here is Andy Swiss. | :14:05. | :14:07. | |
Prize is something English rugby seems to have rediscovered this | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
year and today it found a performance to match. The last time | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
England played France it spelled the end of a horrible World Cup. | :14:15. | :14:22. | |
This time it spelled spirit and adventure. First in the twinkling | :14:22. | :14:29. | |
tones of Tuilagi. Even better was to follow. One bulldozing run from | :14:29. | :14:35. | |
Morgan followed by another from Foden, England 14-3 up. | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
The Queen was happy, the President rather less so. After the break | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
though, France booted their way back, the gap down to two points. | :14:43. | :14:51. | |
But just when England needed it, a flash of individual magic. | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
Croft seemed to have sealed it but back came the French. Fofana put | :14:56. | :15:01. | |
them within touching distance and in the final seconds they could | :15:01. | :15:08. | |
have won it. And so England clung on for their still temporary coach | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
Stuart Lancaster a pretty decent job application, both he and | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
England will be hoping this is just the start. | :15:15. | :15:19. | |
It's been a wonderful final day for Great Britain at the world indoor | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
athletics Championships, five more medals in is Stan bull taking the | :15:22. | :15:30. | |
tally to nine which is their best ever at the world indoors -- | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
Istanbul. The US were pipped on the line for | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
gold. What a day for Bradley Wiggins | :15:36. | :15:41. | |
who's put down a perfect marker for the Tour de France by winning the | :15:41. | :15:48. | |
Paris race. He is only the second Briton to win the classic. Simpson | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
triumphed in 1967 after eight days' racing. Wiggins won the final time | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
trial to finish eight seconds ahead of his Dutch rival. | :15:56. | :16:02. |
