:00:16. > :00:17.protests Is this the moment President Viktor Yanukovich fled his
:00:18. > :00:24.official residence, before being ousted? Still a sign of Viktor

:00:44. > :01:01.ever draws to a close, but how will Sochi 2014 be remembered?
:01:02. > :01:06.Good evening. Ukraine has started the process of building a new
:01:07. > :01:11.interim government after a weekend of political turmoil. MPs have
:01:12. > :01:15.selected an acting President ahead of elections in May. But the
:01:16. > :01:17.whereabouts of Viktor Yanukovych, who was ousted from the position
:01:18. > :01:21.yesterday and fled the capital, remain unclear. Steve Rosenberg,
:01:22. > :01:35.sent this report from Kiev. In Kiev today, they were not
:01:36. > :01:43.celebrating ousting a President. They were saying prayers for the
:01:44. > :01:46.dead. On Independence Square, the patriarch blessed the souls of the
:01:47. > :01:53.dozens of protesters killed last week by government forces. People
:01:54. > :01:56.here are still in shock, and in mourning. And they are in no mood to
:01:57. > :02:05.blindly trust the country's new leaders. We have this new
:02:06. > :02:10.government. An old new government. But we showed, anyway, control them.
:02:11. > :02:13.Most of the protesters's demands have now been met. Viktor Yanukovych
:02:14. > :02:17.has been removed from power and there will be early elections. But
:02:18. > :02:21.people here are suspicious of politicians and parliaments. For
:02:22. > :02:30.now, they are determined to stay on the square. Over in Parliament, MPs
:02:31. > :02:34.chose a new President. A temporary one, until May. And they tried to
:02:35. > :02:40.show that they are serious about change. Today, they voted to take
:02:41. > :02:45.away Viktor Yanukovych's luxury villa and needed property of the
:02:46. > :02:50.state. Mr Yanukovych has not reacted. This CCTV footage, which
:02:51. > :02:57.emerged today, appears to show his entourage fleeing the villa by car
:02:58. > :03:02.and helicopter, less than a day before he was ousted. The former
:03:03. > :03:08.President's current whereabouts are a mystery. You know where Viktor
:03:09. > :03:12.Yanukovych is right now? It is a good question. Millions of
:03:13. > :03:17.Ukrainians want to know, and try to find him. He disappeared. Vitali
:03:18. > :03:21.Klitschko told me today he may run for President. Some might Yulia
:03:22. > :03:26.Tymoshenko, the former Prime Minister who was released from jail
:03:27. > :03:30.yesterday. But, after on the square, these protesters told me
:03:31. > :03:35.that, after all they fought for, after all the bloodshed of this
:03:36. > :03:42.week, they want a new generation of politicians running their country.
:03:43. > :03:47.We want the whole system to change, says Maria. We want new leaders. On
:03:48. > :03:52.this square, they see Viktor Yanukovych's downfall as their
:03:53. > :03:54.victory. Their achievement. And they want a big say in who eventually
:03:55. > :03:59.succeeds him. While the new government was being
:04:00. > :04:03.formed in Kiev, people in Russian-speaking Eastern Ukraine
:04:04. > :04:06.have been watching anxiously. They fear that nationalists will restrict
:04:07. > :04:11.the use of the Russian language, and cut their ties with Moscow. Daniel
:04:12. > :04:12.Sandford reports from the city of Kharkiv where there was
:04:13. > :04:22.street-fighting overnight. A moment of extreme tension today in
:04:23. > :04:25.Kharkiv. The pro-Russian mayor had tried to make his way to the City
:04:26. > :04:30.Council, only to find his way blocked by revolutionaries in
:04:31. > :04:34.balaclavas. He pleaded with them to remove their masks and go home, but,
:04:35. > :04:37.in the end, he was the one who had to leave. Behind him, his supporters
:04:38. > :04:45.could barely contain their anger. Last night, revolutionaries were
:04:46. > :04:51.beaten back as they tried to attack a giant statue of Lenin. Here in the
:04:52. > :04:55.east, many people look to Moscow, as much as to Kiev.
:04:56. > :05:02.At the city's Orthodox Cathedral, prayers this morning after the
:05:03. > :05:04.bloodshed last week. The people here speak Russian, and are deeply
:05:05. > :05:13.uncomfortable about the Ukrainian nationalism of the revolutionaries
:05:14. > :05:15.in Kiev. TRANSLATION: Yesterday, the leader of Svoboda Party said he
:05:16. > :05:19.wanted to outlaw the Russian language. Maybe they will come up
:05:20. > :05:23.with some radical ways of making us non-citizens? All day,
:05:24. > :05:30.anti-revolutionaries have guarded the statue of Lenin. When this crowd
:05:31. > :05:33.watched events in Kiev last week they didn't think of a glorious new
:05:34. > :05:35.future for Ukraine, they remembered the dark days when some Western
:05:36. > :05:43.Ukrainians collaborated with the Nazis. But, I asked Olga, what do
:05:44. > :05:50.they think now of President Yanukovych, who may be hiding in
:05:51. > :05:53.Kharkiv? Of course, if I had to pick between Yanukovych and those people
:05:54. > :05:56.in Kiev, of course I would vote for Yanukovych, because I don't want war
:05:57. > :06:00.here. I don't want people killing people. But if I can choose anybody,
:06:01. > :06:07.I'm sorry, definitely I would not vote for Yanukovych. Because he
:06:08. > :06:10.didn't do much good for our nation. The divisions in Ukraine were being
:06:11. > :06:14.played out in public on this city's streets today. After the bloodshed
:06:15. > :06:26.and destruction, there is raw anger on both sides.
:06:27. > :06:35.Let's go live to our Europe editor Gavin Hewitt in Kiev. A new
:06:36. > :06:40.President, and interim President. But is there a real sense now of who
:06:41. > :06:45.is in charge? Well, that is the big question. Who is in charge here? The
:06:46. > :06:50.parliament met today and tried to set up a national union unity
:06:51. > :06:54.government. They could not agree a Prime Minister, they could agree and
:06:55. > :06:59.interim President. In this city there are no police on the streets.
:07:00. > :07:03.I went to a prison today. Access was being controlled by a self defence
:07:04. > :07:06.group of protesters. Some traffic police appeared on the street, but
:07:07. > :07:12.they had to be escorted by protesters. So, there is a power
:07:13. > :07:15.vacuum here. So, as long as the international community is
:07:16. > :07:19.concerned, there is one big worry. That is that this country splits
:07:20. > :07:22.between the East, which favours links to Russia, and the West, which
:07:23. > :07:28.favours closer links to Europe. Angela Merkel and Vladimir Putin
:07:29. > :07:33.have been on the line, insisting that this country stays together and
:07:34. > :07:37.retains its territorial integrity. Thank you.
:07:38. > :07:40.The North Sea oil industry will be stronger if Scotland stays within
:07:41. > :07:44.the United Kingdom. That's the claim of David Cameron as he pledges to
:07:45. > :07:48.invest in the sector to attract business and create jobs. But
:07:49. > :07:50.Scotland's first minister Alex Salmond said independence would
:07:51. > :07:54.bring enormous potential to the sector. Tomorrow both men will chair
:07:55. > :08:03.cabinet meetings in north-east Scotland.
:08:04. > :08:10.North Sea oil and gas is firmly on the agenda in the debate about
:08:11. > :08:15.Scottish independence. The Prime Minister has insisted that it is the
:08:16. > :08:19.UK's broad shoulders which are best placed to support investment in the
:08:20. > :08:23.industry. Speaking earlier, the Scottish Secretary echoed that view.
:08:24. > :08:26.What we are telling people in the north-east of Scotland who have had
:08:27. > :08:31.a tremendous economic success on the back of North Sea oil and gas is
:08:32. > :08:35.that we have been able to do that as part of the United Kingdom. As part
:08:36. > :08:41.of a bigger economy that can withstand the shocks of a volatile
:08:42. > :08:45.international commodity. This gas processing plant in Norway is hailed
:08:46. > :08:48.as a success story. Scotland's First Minister says you only have to look
:08:49. > :08:53.over there to see that an independent Scotland would thrive if
:08:54. > :08:59.it was in control of its revenues. A country smaller than Scotland which,
:09:00. > :09:02.by every account, has run the most successful oil and gas industry in
:09:03. > :09:06.the world. Not just successful for the businesses and employment, but
:09:07. > :09:13.they have got an investment fund for the Norwegian people of ?450
:09:14. > :09:15.billion. They focus on the north-east of Scotland shows how
:09:16. > :09:20.important the industry is. It is only the second time in 90 years
:09:21. > :09:24.that the full Westminster Cabinet has come to Scotland. They are
:09:25. > :09:30.meeting in Aberdeen. The Scottish Cabinet will also meet in the area.
:09:31. > :09:36.The first North Sea oil came ashore in 1975 and is thought to have
:09:37. > :09:41.peaked in 1999. So, just how much is the oil and gas industry worth? It
:09:42. > :09:47.generates ?27 billion a year and employs 450,000 people. Tomorrow, a
:09:48. > :09:51.key report will recommend how best to maximise the economic recovery of
:09:52. > :09:55.the country's remaining oil and gas, with both sides keen to
:09:56. > :10:00.convince people here that the best interests of the economy, in
:10:01. > :10:03.particular managing energy resources, lies with them. The
:10:04. > :10:08.battle for Scotland is well and truly on.
:10:09. > :10:19.There is a political stand-off in Venice were earlier -- Venezuela,
:10:20. > :10:21.both in favour and against the government of President Maduro. At
:10:22. > :10:26.least ten people have been killed on both sides, with more than 100
:10:27. > :10:28.injured. It's the worst violence since President Maduro came to power
:10:29. > :10:30.last April, replacing the late Hugo Chavez.
:10:31. > :10:33.A convicted killer who spent more than a decade claiming he'd been the
:10:34. > :10:42.victim of a miscarriage of justice has been found Dead in his prison
:10:43. > :10:44.cell. Simon Hall was convicted of stabbing to death a Suffolk
:10:45. > :10:47.pensioner in 2003. After decade-long campaign to clear his name, he
:10:48. > :10:52.confessed to prison guards last year. He was found dead in Wayland
:10:53. > :10:54.Prison in Norfolk this morning. In Zimbabwe, President Robert Mugabe
:10:55. > :11:02.has downplayed reports of ill-health after a recent trip to Singapore for
:11:03. > :11:04.medical treatment. Mr Mugabe told thousands of people gathered for his
:11:05. > :11:10.official 90th birthday celebrations that he felt as young as a
:11:11. > :11:13.nine-year-old boy. Earlier, in a television interview, the country's
:11:14. > :11:24.leader of 34 years said he had no plans to retire With all The sport,
:11:25. > :11:28.here is Ollie Foster at the BBC sports centre.
:11:29. > :11:36.The Winter Olympics closing ceremony is underway. There were no more
:11:37. > :11:40.medals for Great Britain, but it has still been the team's most
:11:41. > :11:44.successful since the game started 90 years ago.
:11:45. > :11:49.Has been a games where British winter sport has pushed itself to a
:11:50. > :11:54.new level. The men's bobsleigh team were hoping to round things off in
:11:55. > :11:58.style, and came close. First, for a futile blighting minutes, before
:11:59. > :12:05.slipping back to a very creditable fifth. Britain's final tally of four
:12:06. > :12:11.medals is still their best since 1924, and success in some of the new
:12:12. > :12:14.events bodes well for the future. I think the new sports, the
:12:15. > :12:19.slopestyle, the freestyle, the snowboard slopestyles has been
:12:20. > :12:25.fantastic. It wouldn't surprise me if they can surpass this in four
:12:26. > :12:30.years time. We've got some great athletes in Team GB right now. But
:12:31. > :12:34.these games ultimately along to the hosts, Russia finishing top of the
:12:35. > :12:40.medals table after eight clean sweep in cross country. The mood of
:12:41. > :12:42.celebration carried on to deny's closing ceremony, which even poked
:12:43. > :12:48.fun at their opening ceremony, where one of the rings notoriously failed
:12:49. > :12:53.to emerge. Watched by a mere pudding, the athletes made their
:12:54. > :13:02.entrance. Britain's flag was carried by Lizzy Yarnold, as noisily as
:13:03. > :13:05.Sochi welcome the stars. So the games I'm dig in spectacular style.
:13:06. > :13:14.After their best Winter Olympics for 90 years, for the British team it
:13:15. > :13:17.has been a night to remember. Football now and, the home nations
:13:18. > :13:20.have found out who they'll be playing when qualifying for Euro
:13:21. > :13:23.2016 starts in September. The tournament, which will be staged in
:13:24. > :13:25.France, has been expanded to 24 nations which should make qualifying
:13:26. > :13:30.easier, with those sides finishing third getting into the playoffs at
:13:31. > :13:36.the very least. Wales are in Group B along with top seeds
:13:37. > :13:39.Bosnia-Herzegovina and Belgium. Scotland have a tough group which
:13:40. > :13:41.includes Germany and the Republic of Ireland and Poland. Euro debutants
