to North Korea, one of the world's most secretive nations, as it | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
prepares to launch a long-range rocket that some fear is a test for | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
a ballistic missile. The international community has warned | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
of sanctions if the launch goes ahead as planned in the next few | :01:26. | :01:34. | |
days. Japan and South Korea have threatened to shoot it down. Our | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
correspondent Damian Grammaticas was the only British broadcaster | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
invited to witness the launch preparations, in Tongchang-dong in | :01:38. | :01:46. | |
the north west of the country. Hidden in the hills, a birthday | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
gift for a long dead dictator. Kim Il-Sung died 17 years ago, but he | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
is officially the eternal president of North Korea. So to celebrate the | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
centenary of his birth this week, his country is preparing to put a | :01:59. | :02:05. | |
satellite in space. America and other nations are out rage. It is | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
not what but Warwick -- rocket is carrying, but what is meant the. It | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
is meant to be an international ballistic missile tests. North | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
Korea possesses nuclear bombs and is developing missile technology to. | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
The regime believes that is what guarantees its survival in the face | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
of threats from America and elsewhere. Our journey to the | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
launch site took five hours by train. The satellite is meant to | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
show the world that the North Korean nation is strong and | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
prosperous. We saw little that looked stronger or prosperous. The | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
country ruled by Kim Il-Sung's grandson, remains isolated, | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
stubbornly socialist and unable to feed all its people. And suspicious | :02:48. | :02:56. | |
as well. Three times we were searched by security. North Korea | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
insists launching a satellite is its sovereign right. The this has | :03:00. | :03:06. | |
been planned long ago. This is done on the occasion of the 100 birthday | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
of our President Kim Il-Sung. We are not doing it for a provocative | :03:09. | :03:15. | |
purpose. We were shown at the satellite itself. It will broadcast | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
songs glorifying the dead President. North Korea wants it -- a CSO it | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
can say has nothing to hide and its intentions are peaceful. The UN | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
Security Council has banned it from missile launchers. In the control | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
room they say everything is ready for a list of this week. North | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
Korea has problems begin its own people. Does he think it is right | :03:36. | :03:43. | |
to spend this much money and effort on this Robert -- programme? If we | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
do not develop our own technology, says the launch director, will | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
become slaves. We need our own technology to be in advanced | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
country and be a powerful space nation. The launch could trigger a | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
dangerous sequence of events. South Korea and Japan say they will shoot | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
down the rocket if it goes over their territory. America may seek | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
new sanctions, and the North says any of those would be seen as BOP - | :04:06. | :04:14. | |
Hackers who claim to have brought down the Government's Home Office | :04:14. | :04:20. | |
website last night are threatening to strike again. A Twitter message | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
from the group Anonymous UK, says the Government can expect attacks | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
every Saturday from now on. Here's our Political Correspondent Ben | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
Wright. They are called Anonymous, an online activist group who | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
claimed to have attacked the Home Office website. It is the latest in | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
a number of incidents involving official site since the start of | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
the year. From 9pm last night, the department will website could not | :04:41. | :04:48. | |
be accessed for several hours. People rely on a side like that for | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
information and things that are akin to safety. People must realise | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
there is no advantage in trying to block the site. The battle is | :04:56. | :05:02. | |
between the people, us, Anonymous, and those who are in power. If you | :05:02. | :05:10. | |
care at all about this stuff, then you are Anonymous. Anonymous is a | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
loose global organisation and the Vatican and Mastercard websites | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
have been previous targets. But why the Home Office? Some messages on | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
the social networking side Twitter claimed it was in protest against | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
the extradition of US -- UK citizens to the US, including Gary | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
McKinnon and the student Richard O'Dwyer, accused of breaching | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
copyright laws. Politicians of all parties have condemned the attack. | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
I don't think it is very helpful. If you have grievances with | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
government policy you should raise it in the usual way. We can't have | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
a situation we have people hacking different government websites | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
willy-nilly. Technology experts say it was not one of the most | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
sophisticated cyber attacks. they have done is flooded the | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
website with traffic so it is unavailable for legitimate requests. | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
You can do this by getting a bunch of mates together and say click | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
like crazy, or you can rent compromised computers, so there are | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
millions of compromise computers that have some bitter that the | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
virus where and you can rent them by the hour. It is easy and cheap. | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
A Home Office said the public website was subject to an online | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
protest but denied it had been hacked. A spokesman said the | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
website contains no sensitive information and people here will | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
carry on monitoring the situation. A soldier from the Queen's Royal | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
Hussars has died two months after being injured by a roadside bomb in | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
Afghanistan. The Ministry of Defence said tonight he'd been | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
treated at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham since the | :06:37. | :06:44. | |
beginning of February. His next of The prospects of a ceasefire in | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
Syria to meet the Tuesday deadline backed by the United Nations | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
suffered a severe setback today. The Syrian government says it now | :06:49. | :06:51. | |

troops and artillery. From Beirut, An unusual show of air power by the | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
Syrian regime, flying military jets over the north of the country as | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
troops and tanks battled on the ground below. Unlike Libya, | :07:09. | :07:15. | |
Damascus knows there is no risk of getting shot down by NATO here. | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
Further south, in Homs, several districts continue to be pounded by | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
artillery and tanks. The bulk of the casualties inflicted by heavy | :07:22. | :07:28. | |
weapons like these may be civilians, but as the opposition fighters are | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
entrenched year, that is to the regime are after. After months of | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
battering it has not been able to regain control. That is why just 48 | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
hours before it was meant to pour the military out of towns and | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
cities, the foreign ministry announced its insistence on written | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
guarantees that the rebels would stop fighting and surrender arms. | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
It also wants guarantees that countries backing them, Saudi | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
Arabia, Qatar and Turkey will promise to stop. The demands though | :07:56. | :08:02. | |
the whole Kofi Annan plan into doubt. Government troops backed by | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
tanks and artillery heavily art gone -- heavily outgunned the | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
lightly armed rebels. Activists on the ground were scathing about the | :08:10. | :08:19. | |
:08:20. | :08:31. | ||
But the government is taking hits. An armoured vehicle and the tank | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
were knocked out in Homs. The government -- the rebels then they | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
cannot conduct a peace plan, because if they pulled out the | :08:40. | :08:48. | |
opposition would take over in many areas. Pakistan's President Asif | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
Ali Zardari has visited India to try and ease strained relations | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
between the two nuclear states. He's the first Pakistani leader to | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
make the journey in seven years. Relations have been tense since the | :08:56. | :09:02. | |
2008 Mumbai terror attack by Pakistani extremists. | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
A teenager and his father have been killed in a car crash which has | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
left his mother and nine-year-old sister in a critical condition in | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
hospital. A pensioner also died when her car collided head-on with | :09:11. | :09:17. | |
the family's VW Golf on a bridge in East Yorkshire. Fiona Trott reports. | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
The the family from Birmingham were travelling over this bridge when it | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
collided with a Volvo being driven by a 70 old woman. She died at the | :09:24. | :09:33. | |
scene, along with the father and son. It was a head-on collision. | :09:33. | :09:39. | |
There was smoke coming out of the Volvo. Children screaming. It was | :09:39. | :09:44. | |
terrible. The pensioner's daughter was following close behind and | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
arrived just seconds later. The woman has been named as Sheila | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
Stavert-Lee, who lived near York. The other driver was Derek Sarkar. | :09:52. | :10:02. | |

His son Ethan was just 14. The two survivors, who were the wife of the | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
driver and the nine-year-old daughter from the same family, they | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
are in the General Infirmary in a critical condition. The road has | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
now reopened. The police are asking anyone with information to come | :10:13. | :10:21. | |
The Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams has used his last Easter | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
sermon before standing down to remind the Church of England of the | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
basis of its faith. Our religious affairs correspondent Robert Pigott | :10:26. | :10:36. | |
:10:36. | :10:36. | ||
reports. Happy Easter, archbishop! Greeted | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
by well-wishers, Rowan Williams entered Canterbury Cathedral for | :10:40. | :10:47. | |
his final Easter service as archbishop. He used his sermon to | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
reinforce what he said was the central claim of Christianity, that | :10:51. | :10:56. | |
God really did raised Jesus from the dead. Almost a decade, Dr | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
Williams has been warning that religion is being marginalised in | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
public life. Today he spoke of a change in attitude. There are a few | :11:05. | :11:11. | |
signs that the climate is shifting ever-so-slightly. Not towards a | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
mass return to face, but at least towards a reluctant recognition | :11:16. | :11:22. | |
that religion can't be blamed after all for absolutely everything. | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
Archbishop Williams said a secular society was coming to regard | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
Christianity is socially useful, as a tool, for example, for reforming | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
what he called Our ludicrous and destructive economic habits. But Dr | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
Williams warned that Christianity could not be stripped of its | :11:38. | :11:46. | |
awkward beliefs such as the literal resurrection of Jesus, and | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
continued to make sense. The archbishop who last week quashed | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
the film -- ft of pilgrims said people could act in the world even | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
to make peace in the Middle East. It was a view acute by the leader | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
of the Roman Catholic Church in England and Wales. -- Abu echoed. | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
The very fact of rising from the dead gives everyone hope in those | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
circumstances, which is why I believe that this time we really | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
should appreciate afresh and support with our prayers those who | :12:14. | :12:20. | |
patiently work for peace. The Queen celebrated Easter at St George's | :12:20. | :12:25. | |
Chapel in Windsor. In 60 years as head of the Church of England she | :12:25. | :12:31. | |
has seen several archbishops, and A cruise retracing the route of the | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
Titanic has set sail from Southampton, almost a century to | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
the day since the liner left the same port on its ill-fated maiden | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
voyage. Among those on board the MS Balmoral is our correspondent Jon | :12:41. | :12:51. | |

1,300 passengers, the same number as Titanic, about to set off from | :12:53. | :13:00. | |
the same dogs following the same route. It is just emotional, | :13:00. | :13:05. | |
phenomenal, so exciting. It has been two and a half years of | :13:05. | :13:12. | |
planning, this. There are people from 28 different countries on | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
board. Tickets sold out two years ago. Some have questioned whether a | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
cruise is an appropriate way to mark the centenary of a disaster in | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
which 1,500 people perished, but Susie Miller from Belfast, whose | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
great-grandfather died on the Titanic is proud to be on board. | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
is not mawkish or ghoulish, it is about setting down a marker that | :13:36. | :13:42. | |
week as a family are proud of what he did. -- we as a family. As the | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
Balmoral pulled away from the very birth that the Titanic left, some | :13:47. | :13:56. | |
passengers were clearly thinking about certain aspects of history. | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
It will be fine. Absolutely fine. Icebergs are less of a hazard these | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
days. The captain has technology to guide his ship across the Atlantic. | :14:05. | :14:11. | |
The voyage is about 2000 miles. From Southampton to Cherbourg in | :14:11. | :14:17. | |
northern France, where Titanic picked up extra passengers. Then | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
tomorrow to County Cork, where most of titanic's Irish passengers | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
joined. Then we will head to the site of the wreck, in time for a | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
remembrance service next weekend, precisely 100 years after the | :14:30. | :14:35. | |
disaster. After all the excitement of the departure, tonight, in open | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
seas, the mood on this ship has changed as people reflect on where | :14:39. | :14:49. | |
