:00:14. > :00:15.fly to Kuala Lumpur. They're demanding answers from the
:00:16. > :00:20.authorities, chanting, "tell us the truth".
:00:21. > :00:24.New plans for a crack down on tele-marketing companies making
:00:25. > :00:27.nuisance calls. And calls to stop motorists parking
:00:28. > :00:47.on pavements, by the Guide Dogs charity.
:00:48. > :00:52.Good afternoon. 30 relatives of Chinese passengers who were on the
:00:53. > :00:55.missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 have travelled to Kuala Lumpur
:00:56. > :01:01.to demand answers from the Malaysian authorities. They unfurled a banner
:01:02. > :01:05.saying they wanted evidence about what happened. Meanwhile, an
:01:06. > :01:09.Australian ship towing a black-box detector is preparing to join the
:01:10. > :01:19.search. Lucy Williamson's report from the Malaysian capital contains
:01:20. > :01:26.some flash photography. With no sign of flight MH370 or its
:01:27. > :01:31.passengers, these faces have become the most visible symbol of this
:01:32. > :01:34.mystery. The families of Chinese passengers, freshly arrived from
:01:35. > :01:40.Beijing today to demand some answers in person. Their questions are the
:01:41. > :01:45.same ones plaguing the rest of the world, what happened to flight MH370
:01:46. > :01:51.and why is it taking so long to find out? In a brief press conference at
:01:52. > :01:59.their hotel, the families delivered their message to the Malaysian
:02:00. > :02:06.government. We want evidence, they chanted, we want the truth, we want
:02:07. > :02:08.our families. But with the plane's disappearance still unexplained,
:02:09. > :02:16.they are also looking at who to blame. TRANSLATION: We want the
:02:17. > :02:19.Malaysian government to apologise and for mishandling the operation
:02:20. > :02:24.and we call on the airline manufacturers to come and meet us.
:02:25. > :02:29.It has been 22 days and we have not heard from them. What are they
:02:30. > :02:32.worried about? There is tight control about these latest
:02:33. > :02:37.arrivals, guards outside their meeting room and security checks in
:02:38. > :02:42.the hotel lobby. The families are now being guarded inside this hotel.
:02:43. > :02:46.So far, and the Malaysian authorities have proved pretty adept
:02:47. > :02:49.at managing their movements but managing their demands and their
:02:50. > :02:54.frustration will be a lot of. So far, the search has drawn in ships
:02:55. > :02:59.and planes from seven countries, but it has turned up no wreckage from
:03:00. > :03:03.the aircraft. Hopes are now pinned on this latest arrival, an
:03:04. > :03:08.Australian vessel designed to toe this high-tech device which can
:03:09. > :03:12.listen to the ping is omitted by the data recorder. But the pings are due
:03:13. > :03:20.to stop in a week or so and the search teams have not yet found any
:03:21. > :03:23.sign of where the plane went down. We will deploy the underwater
:03:24. > :03:30.vehicle here. It is basically a robot that can be programmed to go
:03:31. > :03:35.take a sonar mapping of the debris field. Many family say they will
:03:36. > :03:39.continue to hope until they see the wreckage of the missing flight
:03:40. > :03:43.pulled from the waves. No one knows how long they will be waiting.
:03:44. > :03:49.And we can talk to Lucy in Kuala Lumpur now. What will it take to
:03:50. > :03:54.reassure the relatives? I think it has been harder to do that over the
:03:55. > :03:58.past couple of weeks. The anger of these families has its own motion.
:03:59. > :04:02.That is partly because of the messages coming out of the Chinese
:04:03. > :04:05.media and to some extent, the Chinese government as well. There
:04:06. > :04:10.has been a lot of stunned the back home for the perspective of these
:04:11. > :04:14.families and quite a bit of implicit criticism of the way the authorities
:04:15. > :04:23.have handled this crisis. Added to that, there is some jostling going
:04:24. > :04:25.on between China and Malaysia to appear the one who is handling this,
:04:26. > :04:28.who is more responsible in the face of this crisis. I certainly think
:04:29. > :04:31.over the past couple of weeks, it has got harder for the Malaysian
:04:32. > :04:33.authorities, and faced as they are with a situation where they do not
:04:34. > :04:37.have much concrete information and they are being asked for answers, is
:04:38. > :04:40.not an easy situation for them. Thank you.
:04:41. > :04:43.The Conservative MP, Mark Menzies, has resigned as a ministerial aide
:04:44. > :04:47.after a newspaper alleged he'd paid for sex with a male prostitute. The
:04:48. > :04:51.Sunday Mirror also reported claims the MP had asked the man to buy an
:04:52. > :04:55.illegal drug. Mr Menzies, who's 42, said "a number of the allegations"
:04:56. > :04:59.weren't true. A student who was due to be deported
:05:00. > :05:01.back to Mauritius, is no longer on a flight scheduled to leave the
:05:02. > :05:04.country this afternoon. A spokesperson for Yashika Bageerathi
:05:05. > :05:09.said the 19-year-old was told last night she wouldn't be on the flight,
:05:10. > :05:11.but doesn't know why. A demonstration was held yesterday
:05:12. > :05:15.against the plans to deport her without her family.
:05:16. > :05:19.Telemarketing companies that plague members of the public with unwanted
:05:20. > :05:24.calls could face bigger fines under new Government plans. At present
:05:25. > :05:26.they can be punished only if unsolicited calls cause "substantial
:05:27. > :05:30.damage" to householders but ministers want to lower the
:05:31. > :05:41.threshold. Ben Moore has more details.
:05:42. > :05:46.It is the unwelcome, unwonted, unsolicited call, but now the
:05:47. > :05:50.Culture Secretary wants to pull the plug on cold callers. As things
:05:51. > :05:56.stand, firms can only be punished if they cause substantial damage. But
:05:57. > :06:01.now it will be easier for OFCOM and other agencies to swap data about
:06:02. > :06:05.offenders and there will be big penalties for claims management
:06:06. > :06:10.firms who use details gathered on unsolicited calls. But for some,
:06:11. > :06:15.that does not go far enough. Stop mucking about with arguments about
:06:16. > :06:19.what is and what is not consent. We all understand that clearly. And
:06:20. > :06:24.stop giving the power to these half baked regulators. We need to have
:06:25. > :06:33.consumers and citizens are properly represented in the process. There is
:06:34. > :06:35.something you can do already to stem the tide of marketing calls, go
:06:36. > :06:37.online and register with the Telephone preference service,
:06:38. > :06:40.register set up by the direct marketing Association. Even if you
:06:41. > :06:44.do sign up, there is no guarantee your phone will stop ringing. That
:06:45. > :06:50.is because some companies have not signed up, some are based abroad and
:06:51. > :06:55.are just fraudsters after your money. Those running the industry
:06:56. > :06:59.say it is these companies which need to be stopped. Let's remember the
:07:00. > :07:03.industry employs a million people, most of those in areas of high
:07:04. > :07:08.unemployment and we want to drive these companies out of this
:07:09. > :07:15.particular field of business they do. Last year, and OFCOM survey said
:07:16. > :07:20.eight out of ten households regularly receive nuisance phone
:07:21. > :07:22.calls. The government say they are now answering the call to tackle the
:07:23. > :07:26.problem. The US Secretary of State, John
:07:27. > :07:28.Kerry, is in Paris ahead of talks this evening with the Russian
:07:29. > :07:32.Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov about the crisis in Ukraine. Today
:07:33. > :07:36.Russian troops have been sending Ukrainian military equipment out of
:07:37. > :07:39.Crimea. The Pentagon says Russia has massed up to 50,000 troops on
:07:40. > :07:43.Ukraine's border. Our correspondent Christian Fraser is in Paris for us
:07:44. > :07:51.now. Christian, what can we expect out of the talks today? Well, there
:07:52. > :07:54.must be something that was put forward by the Russian side on
:07:55. > :07:59.Friday evening that merits John Kerry changing his plans. He was on
:08:00. > :08:03.his way to Washington when he diverted at Shannon and is on his
:08:04. > :08:08.way to Paris. We understand he will be meeting Sergei Lavrov, his
:08:09. > :08:13.Russian counterpart at the embassy this evening. Before that there will
:08:14. > :08:16.be a courtesy visit to the French Foreign Minister. Obviously, from
:08:17. > :08:20.the American side they are worried about the build-up of Russian troops
:08:21. > :08:25.on the border with Ukraine. They want Mr Putin to take his foot off
:08:26. > :08:29.the metal, if you will. From the Russian side, Mr Lavrov has been
:08:30. > :08:32.playing down fears of an impending invasion but he echoes those fears
:08:33. > :08:36.of strong sentiments from the Kremlin that they are going to
:08:37. > :08:41.defend Russian speaking pro-Russian areas of Ukraine. They are looking
:08:42. > :08:46.for Washington and the West to recognise the independence of Crimea
:08:47. > :08:49.and also they want more autonomy for pro-Russian areas in Ukraine, a
:08:50. > :08:55.federalised state. The difficulties for the Washington side, the key
:08:56. > :09:01.ingredient, and that is the implied threat of force. Mr Obama has taken
:09:02. > :09:05.that off the table. Mr Lavrov comes here tonight in a position of
:09:06. > :09:08.relative strength. If troops are massed on the border, what the
:09:09. > :09:11.Americans have defined is some leveraged. Thank you.
:09:12. > :09:15.The number of missing people following a huge mudslide in the
:09:16. > :09:18.north-west of the United States has been revised by officials and now
:09:19. > :09:22.stands at 30 instead of the much higher number of 90. 18 people are
:09:23. > :09:26.confirmed to have died around Oso, north of Seattle. The town was
:09:27. > :09:29.engulfed in mud more than a week ago.
:09:30. > :09:32.There are calls for a new law to stop motorists from parking on
:09:33. > :09:36.pavements by the Guide Dogs charity. They want the practice to be banned
:09:37. > :09:39.on all roads in the UK except in special circumstances. They say
:09:40. > :09:43.blind and visually impaired people are being put at risk when trying to
:09:44. > :09:51.avoid carelessly parked vehicles. Sharon Barbour reports.
:09:52. > :09:55.Setting off from her home can at times be terrifying forces and
:09:56. > :09:59.Williamson. When she comes across cars on the pavement, she has two
:10:00. > :10:05.risk walking onto the road. She cannot tell if a car or bike is
:10:06. > :10:09.coming. It is frightening. The dog is there to help me but there is
:10:10. > :10:16.also a risk of her and my daughter being hit by a car. It is a big
:10:17. > :10:17.risk, not just for me, but other people as well. People in
:10:18. > :10:22.wheelchairs and people with pushchairs. Now the charity guide
:10:23. > :10:26.dogs is calling for a new law banning parking on pavements. The
:10:27. > :10:35.charity says a poll supports the idea. With 69% supporting a new law
:10:36. > :10:39.banning pavement parking. In a separate survey, 78% of local
:10:40. > :10:46.authority councillors also support a ban. Parking on the footpath is
:10:47. > :10:50.already against the law in Greater London. Guide Dogs hopes this latest
:10:51. > :11:00.research will help support such a ban across the rest of the country.
:11:01. > :11:12.That is all from us. Goodbye. Hello. For most of us, much has been
:11:13. > :11:16.relatively warm, dry and sunny, and most of us are ending on a high with
:11:17. > :11:21.well broken sunshine coming up from the south, just a bit of high cloud
:11:22. > :11:26.allowing temperatures to soar once more, 20 degrees already in the
:11:27. > :11:27.London area this afternoon. In stark contrast, as throughout this
:11:28. > :11:29.weekend, the
