show of force by the Kremlin. They come through as two different | :00:20. | :00:26. | |
points as the so-called self-Defence Forces on the other side are | :00:27. | :00:34. | |
amassing near the gate. The new satellite image of a large | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
object in the southern Indian Ocean, could it be wreckage of the missing | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
Malaysian plane? England's hopes of a winning start | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
to the World Twenty20 are struck down by the weather. | :00:46. | :01:07. | |
Hello. Good evening. Russian troops have stormed a military base in | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
Crimea, seizing it from Ukrainian control. It's the most direct use of | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
force by Russian troops since the start of the crisis in Ukraine and | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
follows President Putin's formal declaration that Crimea is now part | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
of Russia. Russian Special Forces smashed their way into the air base, | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
using armoured vehicles and stun grenades, seizing it from Ukrainian | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
servicemen, who were refusing to surrender. A second naval base was | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
abandoned by Ukrainian forces after attacks by pro-Russian plishament | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
the two -- militia. The two facilities were amongst the last | :01:44. | :01:52. | |
under Ukrainian control. Limbering up for a fight, as the | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
menacing force of the local militia arrives at the gate. They try to | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
persuade the Ukrainian troops, holed up here, to leave. But the Ukrainian | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
soldier says, they will stay till the end, to defend their commander's | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
honour. The Colonel's a dejected man. He's | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
been waiting for 23 days to be given orders to pull out his troops, but | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
they never came. Can you really defend yourselves? "I hope so, " He | :02:23. | :02:32. | |
said. He accuses the Russians of behaving like fascists. | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
The militias have used persuasion, threats and violence in the past. | :02:37. | :02:45. | |
Today, they promised to be peaceful. No firing, no arms, no, no, no. We | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
are for peace. Only peace. Only peace. It's our brothers. It wasn't | :02:51. | :02:59. | |
peaceful at all. Heavily armoured Russian forces stormed the base. | :03:00. | :03:07. | |
Reporters were forced to the ground, footage confiscated. These are | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
pictures Moscow doesn't want you to see. As you can see, Russian forces | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
with armoured vehicles have now broken into the compound. They've | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
come through at two different points, as the so-called | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
self-Defence Forces on the other side are massing near the gate. It's | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
the first time we've seen Russian troops in action in this conflict. A | :03:28. | :03:36. | |
message to Ukraine and the outside world - with a show of brute force. | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
Remarkably, there was only one minor injury. Out-manned and out-gunned | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
the Ukrainian troops had no response but to surrender. They've been | :03:48. | :03:55. | |
taunted, isolated and finally humiliated. As Russia took control | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
of the base, they sang their National Anthem. Fatefully titled, | :04:02. | :04:09. | |
"Ukraine isn't dead yet." In Crimea it seems that way. | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
Ian joins us now. So, a message then from the Kremlin. How will this be | :04:16. | :04:22. | |
interpreted? Yeah, I think it is a message, if anyone wondered what | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
President Putin's response would be to sanctions and threats from the | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
European Union and from Washington, I think we had a pretty clear answer | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
today that he and his forces are prepared to use force to get the | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
Ukrainian troops out of Crimea. Now don't forget, from Moscow's | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
perspective, this is now part of the Russian Federation. They regard the | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
Ukrainian troops as occupying troops. They feel they've given them | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
plenty of time to pull out. Kiev hasn't issued any orders to those | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
troops and therefore, you've had this situation a stand-off. Slowly | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
but surely they are consolidating control. Interestingly, across the | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
border, in eastern Ukraine, there have been growing pro-Russian | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
protests. Today the Foreign Office issued a warning against all but | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
essential travel to three key cities in the east of the country. We know | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
the Russian forces are on the other side of that border, Moscow said it | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
had no plans to cross over, but of course, it reserves the right to do | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
so, if it feels its citizens are under attack. | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
Thank you. A new satellite image has been | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
released showing debris in the southern Indian Ocean, which could | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
be the remains of the Malaysian passenger plane, which has been | :05:34. | :05:35. | |
missing for two weeks. The new picture, taken by Chinese satellite, | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
appears to show a large floating object in the sea around 75 miles | :05:40. | :05:46. | |
from an earlier sighting of possible debris. This report contains flash | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
photography from the start. ( The search for MH370 has taken many | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
twists and turns. The acting Transport Minister took | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
questions at a press conference. He was handed a note. The news that I | :06:00. | :06:07. | |
just received is that the Chinese ambassador received satellite image | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
of floating objects in the southern corridor. They will be sending ships | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
to verify. This was the new satellite image, released by the | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
Chinese government, showing a huge floating object, but it's hard to | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
make out what it is. Search teams have been scouring the southern | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
corridor for the past three days. Last Sunday, a first image was | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
captured by an Australian satellite, nearly 1500 miles off the coast of | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
Perth. This latest image, was recorded two | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
days later on Tuesday. Showing what might be wreckage, 75 miles | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
south-west of the previous one. So is it the same object? What does | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
it tell investigators? It is highly unlikely that in two days, any | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
debris would have moved in that direction and at that speed. So, | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
we're either looking at something that's completely unrelated or we're | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
looking at parts of the same debris from some form of accident which is | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
spread over quite a wide area. After two weeks of searching, there have | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
been many theories, many false leads. But this latest find could be | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
useful. It will help refocus efforts in what is still nominally a search | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
and rescue operation in the southern Indian Ocean. For those wanting to | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
resolve this mystery, it is, at the very least, a new lead. Families of | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
passengers went to a briefing in Beijing, but tempers flared as | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
Malaysian officials refused to take questions. They accused the | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
Malaysian government of holding back information. We want to know what | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
happened, what the reality is. Many believe their relatives are still | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
alive. Unless wreckage is found, they will be haunted by this hope. | :07:47. | :07:54. | |
Some breaking news, within the past few minutes. The Metropolitan Police | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
have said a teenage girl, believed to be 15 years old, has been shot | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
dead in Hackney in East London. That's all the details we have at | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
the moment. More on that on the BBC News channel. | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
There have been violent clashes between protesters and police in the | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
Spanish capital Madrid tonight. Thousands of demonstrators had | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
gathered to protest against mass unemployment and the Spanish | :08:18. | :08:25. | |
government's austerity measures. A man's appeared in court in | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
Belfast, accused of involvement in one of Northern Irelanded's most | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
notorious murders. Jean McConville, a mother of ten, was abducted and | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
killed in 1972. She was one of the so-called disappeared, people | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
secretly killed and buried by the IRA. Bell, who's 77, was remanded in | :08:43. | :08:50. | |
custody. The photograph Jean McConville's | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
children have of their mother is decades old. In 1972, they watched | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
as she was dragged out of her home by an IRA gang. When do you think | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
you'll see your mummy again? Don't know. Keep our fingers crossed and | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
pray hard for her coming back. They would never see her alive | :09:09. | :09:14. | |
again. She became known as one of the disappeared, people who were | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
abducted, killed and buried in secret by republican paramilitaries. | :09:20. | :09:26. | |
Her remains were finally found and her family were able to hold a | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
funeral. Today, some of her children were in court, to see a man charged | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
in connection with her killing. Ivor Bell is alleged to be a former IRA | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
leader. Today, he was accused of aiding and abetting Jean | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
McConville's murder. Ivor Bell was denied bail. In court, his lawyer | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
indicated that he would be denying all the charges connected to the | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
killing of a wade yod mother. He was -- widowed mother. He was -- any | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
trial has the potential to be difficult for senior republicans. | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
Among those watching the case closely will be the Sinn Fein | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
president, Gerry Adams, last year the BBC broadcast a tape in which | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
his former friend, the late IRA leader Brendan Hughes, accused him | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
of ordering Jean McConville's death over false claims she had passed on | :10:14. | :10:20. | |
information to the British Army. That's something Mr Adams has always | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
strongly denied. The tape of Brendan Hughes was one of many recorded by | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
researchers from an American college, who were building an | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
archive of the trblds. -- Troubles. A US court ruled they should be | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
given to the police in Northern Ireland. It's understand the | :10:37. | :10:39. | |
evidence against Ivor Bell is from an interview he himself gave. | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
Republicans held a protest today against what they see as a political | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
prosecution. It was just streets away from where Jean McConville was | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
kidnapped. OK, all the sport now. | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
Good evening. It was quite a day in the Barclays Premier League. Match | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
of the Day follows the news, so look away now if you don't want to know | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
the results. There were plenty of goals in today's matches. 32 to be | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
precise. Arsene Wenger's 1,000th match in charge of Arsenal went from | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
celebration to desperation at league leaders Chelsea. Arsenal were | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
thrashed 6-0 and had to play much of the game with ten men after the | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
referee, Andre Mariner, sent off the wrong man for a handball incident. | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
Mariner later said he was disappointed with his decision. | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
Luis Suarez continued his phenomenal season with a hat-trick at Cardiff, | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
as Liverpool twice came from behind to win 6-3. And Yaya Toure scored a | :11:32. | :11:38. | |
hat-trick in Manchester City's 5-0 win against Fulham. Fernandinho and | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
Demecheylis rounded off the victory at the Etihad. | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
Elsewhere, Everton moved up to five knowledge the table, following a 3 | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
-- fifth in the table following a win. | :11:50. | :11:58. | |
Wayne Rooney scored from the halfway line at West Ham in a 2-0 victory | :11:59. | :12:05. | |
for Manchester United. In the Scottish Premiership: Celtic | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
remain clear at the top after a win over St Mirren, fresh from winning | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
the League Cup last weekend. Aberdeen enjoyed another victory | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
coming from a goal down to beat Kilmarnock. | :12:20. | :12:28. | |
England's cricketers have lost their opening game of the World Twenty20. | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
They were beaten by New Zealand, after the match had to be abandoned | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
due to a thunder storm. Captain Stuart Broad says players were put | :12:39. | :12:41. | |
in danger, as lightning struck around the stadium. He suggested the | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
match should have been stopped sooner. | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
One wicket down to just the third ball of the innings. That was in | :12:48. | :12:54. | |
keeping with England's dismall pretournament form. -- dismal. But | :12:55. | :13:02. | |
England surprised and regrouped through Lumb and Ali. Both departed. | :13:03. | :13:10. | |
Morgan December dismissal left England in danger of being short of | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
a decent score. There was a target of 173. They | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
needed their bowlers to make early strikes. The only ones came from | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
high above though. England's captain Stuart Broad thought the officials | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
should have taken the players off the ground at that point. They | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
stayed out to just -- just long enough for New Zealand to boost | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
their run rate and win the match on the Duckworth Lewis method. England | :13:37. | :13:39. | |
have enough limitations on this tournament, without the weather | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
adding to their woes. Finally, tributes have been paid to | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
Mickey Duff the former boxing, manager and promotor, who has died | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
at the age of 84. He was best known for working with the likes of Frank | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
Bruno, Joe Calzaghe and Alan Minter. That's all the sport for now. Back | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
to you. You can see more on all of today's | :13:59. | :14:01. | |
stories on the BBC News channel. That's it from me and the team here. | :14:02. | :14:03. | |
Good night. Hello again. Lots of showers around | :14:04. | :14:18. | |
today. Lots of hail too. Overnight, the showers are becoming fewer. | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
We'll have long, clear spells across eastern side of the UK. Maybe | :14:24. | :14:26. | |
showers later in the night. Most feed in on the brisk wind across | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
western areas. There will be | :14:30. | :14:30. |
