Good afternoon. Ukraine's Prime Minister has accused Russia of | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
declaring war and says his country is on the brink of disaster. It | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
comes a day after the Russian Parliament approved deploying troops | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
to Ukraine and forces took control of key sites in Crimea. In response | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
Ukraine has called up its military reservists and placed its armed | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
forces on full combat readiness. From Sevastapol, Christian Fraser | :00:41. | :00:41. | |
sent this report. The headquarters of the Ukrainian | :00:42. | :00:53. | |
navy in Sevastopol, still occupied this morning by Russian troops, but | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
now surrounded by a civilian guard, who are stopping sailors coming to | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
work. Through the gates, the naval officers watch and wait, confined to | :01:03. | :01:08. | |
base. On the rooftop, a sniper. The only man allowed to leave is the | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
admiral. I am very sorry that Ukrainian soldiers and sailors are | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
the hostages of this situation. It is very sad. They have to sit down | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
immediately around the table and work very hard. And once he had | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
gone, the Russians broke into the storeroom. And so there is a dilemma | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
for the Ukrainian military. Submit to the new authority in Crimea or | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
else. In Kiev, the defence minister is trying to hang onto whatever he | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
can, but amid the confusion, the Russians have moved quickly. The new | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
interim Government in Ukraine has put its armed forces on Battle | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
footing and it is calling up the reservists. This is not a threat. | :01:53. | :01:59. | |
This is actually a declaration of war to my country. And we urge | :02:00. | :02:06. | |
President Putin to pull back its military. President Obama spent 90 | :02:07. | :02:13. | |
minutes on the phone last night with President Putin. Ban Ki-moon, the UN | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
Secretary-General, said he was gravely concerned. It is crucial to | :02:18. | :02:25. | |
remain calm and proceeds to an immediate de-escalation of the | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
situation. Dialogue must be the only tool in ending this crisis. But on | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
the ground, no sign of any de-escalation. These pictures from | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
the northernmost tip of the peninsula, one of the few land | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
routes into Crimea, and shows Russian soldiers digging in, | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
literally. The fleet based in Sevastopol have sent out two | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
anti-submarine warships. Here, Ukrainian soldiers at a radar | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
station handed over their rifles. But here Ukrainian marines are | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
refusing to leave their base. It is one of several tens confrontations | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
developing as forces loyal to Kiev begin to make a stand, a worrying | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
development for the NATO ambassadors in Brussels meeting to consider | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
their response. Christian is in Sevastopol now. We saw in your | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
report worrying signs of a stand-off between Ukrainian and Russian | :03:21. | :03:28. | |
forces. You know, I think the Ukrainian military were caught on | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
the hop last week while the Government was changing in Kiev. | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
This started as a trick. There's the Russians took the Parliament in | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
Crimea, then the two airports, then they moved in wholescale, and have | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
been seizing military assets around the peninsular. Things changed | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
today. The Ukrainian military was put on a warfare footing and they | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
are suddenly not coming out of their bases in the same way, and we are | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
seeing confrontation, not just at the two spots identified in the bill | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
but in several places around the crime in -- in the film but in | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
several places around the peninsular. They need to put | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
pressure on Russia. They need to know President Putin's ambitions. | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
Crimea is one thing. It is pro-Russian and Russian military | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
people were in Sevastopol already. But to move into eastern Ukraine, | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
where we have already seen flash points, if they rolled into eastern | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
Ukraine, that is a whole different proposition and things would | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
snowball quite dangerously and very dramatically. Thank you. The Foreign | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
Secretary William Hague is heading to clear today to discuss the crisis | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
with the Kiev interim leaders. Emily Buchanan is at RAF Northolt. What | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
are William Hague's options? Well, I don't think he has a lot, that he | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
has a long list of things he wants to do. He is leaving just now for | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
Kiev for 24 hours. The first thing he wants to do is meet the new | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
Government. There is no particular relation at the moment with that | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
Government. He wants to meet them. I think he wants to urge them not to | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
do anything that would provoke Russia into action. One of the first | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
things he wants to do is to make sure that Russian minorities in | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
Ukraine are protected, so that Russia does not have a pretext to | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
make any more incursions into the country. He also talked about | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
meetings at the G8 in June possibly being suspended. That is the kind of | :05:29. | :05:36. | |
like Gucci is talking about. I -- language he is talking about. There | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
are no major developments so far. Thank you. | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
The Chinese authorities have blamed separatists for a mass stabbing at a | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
railway station in which at least 29 people died and 130 were wounded. A | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
group of around ten attackers rushed at passengers in the southwestern | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
city of Kunming yesterday. From there, Damian Grammaticas sent this | :05:55. | :06:03. | |
report. Armed police on guard today, around Kunming's train station. | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
Incredibly travellers were already flooding back in less than 24 hours | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
after the murderous rampage here. Ten or more attackers clad in black | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
and masked ran amok. They drew their knives and began slashing at people. | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
The crowd scattered everywhere. In the space of just 12 minutes, 150 | :06:23. | :06:29. | |
people were killed and injured. It was horrible. I saw bodies | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
everywhere, dead, injured, right in front of the station. They were | :06:34. | :06:35. | |
really vicious, slashing and killing. He told us one of the | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
attackers was a woman who had been shot by police. Another eyewitness | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
told us the attackers carried several lives each and one was | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
recovered at the scene. Chinese authorities say this was done by | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
terrorist elements from Xinjiang in the far west of China. One of the | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
attackers ran towards this woman, stabbing wildly. Xinjiang lies | :07:00. | :07:06. | |
thousands of miles away on the Chinese border with Pakistan and | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
Afghanistan. Many of the Muslims there resent what they see as | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
heavy-handed Chinese control. Violence here is getting worse and | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
dozens died last year. It may now be seeping into other parts of China. | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
Last October, China said this incident in Tiananmen Square was a | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
terror attack. A car ploughed into a crowd and burst into flames. Two | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
terrorists and three people in the vehicle died. This latest rampage | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
was far more bloody. The worry for the Chinese authorities is that | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
despite the vast sums being spent on internal security, the violins is | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
spreading. -- violence. | :07:48. | :07:54. | |
The former Northern Ireland Secretary Peter Hain says pursuing | :07:55. | :07:56. | |
British soldiers involved in the Bloody Sunday killings is a waste of | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
police time. 14 civilians died in Londonderry in 1972 after soldiers | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
opened fire during a civil rights march. Mr Hain's comments follow the | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
disclosure that a number of Republican terrorism suspects were | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
sent letters which in effect gave them immunity from prosecution as | :08:10. | :08:11. | |
part of the Northern Ireland peace process. | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
The gambling industry has been criticised by the Government for not | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
doing enough to protect people from losing money on high-stakes betting | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
machines in bookmakers shops. The culture secretary Maria Miller says | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
a new voluntary code of conduct for the use of gaming machines will be | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
made compulsory. She also wants to introduce stricter rules on spending | :08:30. | :08:37. | |
limits. Daniella Relph reports. It can be addictive, compulsive, and | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
easy hit. The fixed odds betting terminals. A high-stakes fruit | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
machine, a real moneyspinner for betting shops. The gambling industry | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
announced a voluntary code of conduct on Friday, including limits | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
to the amount of money and time customers spend. The Government says | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
that code will now become compulsory and it is looking at making it | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
tougher. It has asked the industry regulator the Gambling Commission to | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
look at other ways gamblers could be protected. They include a warning | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
message to appear straightaway telling customers to stay in control | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
and play responsibly. And forcing gamblers to set spending limits and | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
time duration before they start playing. And if bookmakers want a | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
licence to operate, they will have to accept the mandatory rules. Those | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
who have had gambling problems want to see things go even further. We | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
think the best route would be a stake reduction to make the product | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
less harmful. At the moment you can bet ?100 every 20 seconds and we | :09:39. | :09:56. | |
think that should come down to ?2, to be in line with other gaming | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
machines in the UK. The Association of British Bookmakers has welcomed | :10:00. | :10:01. | |
these plans, saying they want to focus on helping the small number of | :10:02. | :10:03. | |
people with problems with affecting, without impacting on the | :10:04. | :10:05. | |
millions who gamble safely. -- problems with betting. | :10:06. | :10:07. | |
Newcastle United have fined their manager Alan Pardew ?100,000 after | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
he appeared to head butt a Hull City player during their Premier League | :10:12. | :10:13. | |
fixture yesterday. The altercation took place when the pair seemed to | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
get in the way of each other in Newcastle's technical area. Pardew | :10:18. | :10:19. | |
apologised in his post-match interviews. The Football Association | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
says it will investigate. You can see more on all of today's stories | :10:24. | :10:27. | |

Hello. The weekend started on a lovely note. We had some glorious | :10:37. | :10:49. | |
sunshine yesterday, it stayed dry for most. A different story this | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
afternoon, low-pressure sending its weather front and it's tighter | :10:55. | :11:02. | |
isobars across the country, meaning wet and windy conditions. Much of | :11:03. | :11:04. |
