:00:19. > :00:23.of violence, after pro-Russian gunmen seized control of key

:00:42. > :01:02.emotion sees Liverpool take control at the top of the Premier League.
:01:03. > :01:06.Ukraine has declared it will launch what it calls a "full-scale
:01:07. > :01:11.anti-terrorist operation" in the east of the country. It follows
:01:12. > :01:13.further incidents involving pro-Russian militants gaining
:01:14. > :01:18.control of key government buildings in eastern Ukraine - moves which
:01:19. > :01:21.have been condemned by the West. Attacks in the past 48 hours have
:01:22. > :01:27.happened in Sloviansk, Mariupol and Kramatorsk. Our correspondent Daniel
:01:28. > :01:39.Sandford is in eastern Ukraine, and sent this report.
:01:40. > :01:48.The extraordinary moment last night when men in uniform carrying modern
:01:49. > :01:52.military weapons stormed the police station in Kramatorsk. Although the
:01:53. > :01:59.shooting scene to be more for a fact than damage, it was the most
:02:00. > :02:03.effective looking raid scene in the last few weeks. This afternoon, the
:02:04. > :02:09.bullet holes were clearly visible, although no one seems to have been
:02:10. > :02:14.hurt. The pro-Russian activists, now unarmed, were still in control. I
:02:15. > :02:22.asked one to explain what they want. TRANSLATION: We cannot stay as part
:02:23. > :02:27.of the Ukraine. We want to have our own Constitution. We want to be like
:02:28. > :02:31.Crimea, an autonomous region. If that demand is not met, it is better
:02:32. > :02:37.for us to be part of the Russian Federation. Checkpoints mark the
:02:38. > :02:42.miles of roads the Ukrainian government does not currently
:02:43. > :02:47.control. One town of 100,000 people, Sloviansk, has become a fortress.
:02:48. > :02:53.Pro-Russian groups have all but sealed this town off, with only one
:02:54. > :02:59.road in and one road out. We found the way Ian passed masked men with
:03:00. > :03:04.guns and discovered a town which, apart from government helicopters
:03:05. > :03:08.flying overhead, seem to be completely in the hands of people
:03:09. > :03:12.loyal to Russia. An operation to take back the town this morning
:03:13. > :03:20.appears to have failed. This evening, the president was promising
:03:21. > :03:25.a fresh attempt to assert control. TRANSLATION: National Security
:03:26. > :03:33.Council has decided to start a large-scale anti-terrorist operation
:03:34. > :03:37.using the Ukrainian army. The people actively supporting the uprising in
:03:38. > :03:42.the east are few, but the Ukrainian government is worried that if they
:03:43. > :03:45.react too strongly, it could give Russia and excuse to use much
:03:46. > :03:54.greater military force. And Daniel is in Donetsk now. What
:03:55. > :03:59.has been the reaction of Russia? Well, we've seen a strong statement
:04:00. > :04:03.from the Russian Foreign Ministry this evening reacting to what the
:04:04. > :04:08.Ukrainian president had to say about launching an anti-terrorist
:04:09. > :04:11.operation. The Russian Foreign Ministry described that as an
:04:12. > :04:16.outrageous threat to attack protesters and called on the west to
:04:17. > :04:21.rein in its allies in Ukraine. It said the chances of avoiding a civil
:04:22. > :04:25.war in Ukraine were now up to the west. It is like Russia is playing
:04:26. > :04:29.an amazing game of chicken with Ukraine, seeing how far it can push
:04:30. > :04:36.the government and what kind of reaction it gets from Kiev. This is
:04:37. > :04:40.all in the week a few days before the new government in Kiev is due to
:04:41. > :04:45.meet with the Russian government and the European Union for those talks
:04:46. > :04:50.in Geneva. Whether we get to those talks is likely in doubt this
:04:51. > :04:55.evening because the Russians are really pushing the Ukrainians
:04:56. > :04:59.incredibly hard. Thank you. A new UN report on climate change
:05:00. > :05:02.says the world needs to act quickly to phase out the use of the dirtiest
:05:03. > :05:05.fossil fuels and cut Co2 emissions. It calls for a massive shift to
:05:06. > :05:08.renewable energy like wind and solar, and says the costs of the
:05:09. > :05:13.transition wouldn't be as high previously thought. The report was
:05:14. > :05:22.released in Berlin and our science editor David Shukman is there.
:05:23. > :05:25.To head off future warming, to minimise the risks of extreme
:05:26. > :05:29.weather and the melting of the ice caps, this new report says
:05:30. > :05:34.greenhouse gases must be brought under control. The cumulative Co2
:05:35. > :05:41.emissions have more than doubled since 1970. Today, the climate panel
:05:42. > :05:46.said fossil fuels are giving off so much carbon dioxide that is switched
:05:47. > :05:54.to greener technology is needed now. It means more clean electricity and
:05:55. > :06:00.efficiency, and we need to act now. If we don't, we will face many
:06:01. > :06:03.dangerous climate change impacts. The most polluting fossil fuels like
:06:04. > :06:09.this call should be phased out, according to the report. Cleaner gas
:06:10. > :06:14.should be used instead. Beyond that, the emphasis is on renewable
:06:15. > :06:21.energy like solar power. This still needs to be subsidised, said the
:06:22. > :06:25.report at colleges are no easy ways forward. This machine is all that is
:06:26. > :06:30.left of a coal mine. Now, it is covered by one of the largest
:06:31. > :06:34.installations of solar panels in Germany. It is the sort of
:06:35. > :06:39.transition that the report says is needed. But at the moment, it makes
:06:40. > :06:43.power more expensive and that reduces the appetite for change.
:06:44. > :06:48.This experimental project traps greenhouse gases. This is one option
:06:49. > :06:53.for the future. But like many ideas, it will add cost. Whether or not
:06:54. > :06:58.society ultimately is willing to pay the necessary price to avoid climate
:06:59. > :07:04.change, we will have to wait and see. But greener energy may bring
:07:05. > :07:09.another benefit as well. Cleaning up polluted air in many cities. Using
:07:10. > :07:15.less energy means there is less local air pollution, especially if
:07:16. > :07:20.we drive less. So local air quality improves. If you drive less and you
:07:21. > :07:27.bike more or walk more, that has benefits for your own personal help.
:07:28. > :07:30.The report maps out options for a greener future but it is now up to
:07:31. > :07:34.governments around the world to choose how to respond.
:07:35. > :07:37.The organisers of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow have scrapped plans
:07:38. > :07:40.to demolish five tower blocks as part of the opening ceremony. An
:07:41. > :07:42.online petition against the proposal has gathered thousands of
:07:43. > :07:45.signatures. But Glasgow 2014 say "safety and security" concerns now
:07:46. > :07:56.mean the destruction of the flats won't feature in the ceremony.
:07:57. > :07:59.Now, with all the action from the London marathon, plus all the rest
:08:00. > :08:09.of the day's sport, here's Karthi at the BBC Sport Centre. Today's game
:08:10. > :08:15.between Liverpool and Man City could prove to be the deciding match in
:08:16. > :08:18.the Premier League title race. An enthralling win the Liverpool means
:08:19. > :08:23.they will be champions for the first time since 1990 if they win their
:08:24. > :08:27.four remaining games. But today's victory had an emotional edge to it
:08:28. > :08:35.with Anfield marking the anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster.
:08:36. > :08:40.An extraordinary start to an extraordinary day. Thousands
:08:41. > :08:44.gathered to support the team. The 25th anniversary of Hillsborough
:08:45. > :08:46.adding poignancy to the passion as Anfield fell silent to remember the
:08:47. > :08:57.96 fans who lost their lives. The occasion seemed to inspire the
:08:58. > :09:09.team, as Liverpool began in dazzling style. Liverpool were in dreamland
:09:10. > :09:20.before the break with a second goal. But the second half saw a
:09:21. > :09:25.stunning turnaround. It was level and utterly compelling. With barely
:09:26. > :09:35.ten minutes left, the Captain Vincent Kompany fluffed. Philippe
:09:36. > :09:40.Coutinho fired, and once again a wall of noise. But could they hold
:09:41. > :09:45.on? Despite a late red card but Jordan Henderson, they did, and you
:09:46. > :09:55.could see what it meant. Four games to go, Paul wins, and they will be
:09:56. > :10:00.champions. For Liverpool fans, a day of passion, drama and triumph. And a
:10:01. > :10:09.first league title in 24 years is now firmly in their sights.
:10:10. > :10:18.Chelsea are two points behind after a 1-win over Swansea. Demba Ba
:10:19. > :10:28.scored in their 1-0 win over Swansea.
:10:29. > :10:31.And in the FA Cup semifinal at Wembley, Hull City beat League One
:10:32. > :10:34.Sheffield United 5-3 to reach the final for the first time. The
:10:35. > :10:36.Premier League side had trailed 2-1, but responded with goals from Matty
:10:37. > :10:39.Fryatt and Tom Huddlestone. Hull will now play Arsenal in the final
:10:40. > :10:46.at Wembley on 17th May. Saint Johnstone will play after
:10:47. > :10:52.beating Aberdeen 2-1. They play Dundee United in next month's final.
:10:53. > :10:56.Tens of thousands of runners enjoyed beautiful sunshine for the London
:10:57. > :10:59.Marathon. The home crowd was hoping to see double Olympic champion Mo
:11:00. > :11:08.Farah win, but he finished in eighth.
:11:09. > :11:12.Ford Mo Farah this was a step into the unknown. After months of
:11:13. > :11:17.training, we would find out if you could bring his golden touch on the
:11:18. > :11:24.track to the gruelling 26.2 miles of the marathon. As thousands set off
:11:25. > :11:29.this morning, you couldn't help feeling this year's marathon was all
:11:30. > :11:33.about one man. That by the midway point, it was clear he was
:11:34. > :11:40.struggling to keep up with the leading pack. His inexperience also
:11:41. > :11:47.showed, here failing to grasp a much-needed drink early on. In the
:11:48. > :11:58.end, the gap in class was simply too big, with Kenya's Wilson Kipsang
:11:59. > :12:04.striding home with a new record. So no fairy tale Dubuque for Mo Farah
:12:05. > :12:12.in the London Marathon. He found a stab at just too difficult. The
:12:13. > :12:17.question is now, does he persist with this distance or does he
:12:18. > :12:25.switch? I'm not going to finish like this. I will be back. It is about
:12:26. > :12:29.learning. There was more British disappointment the David Weir who
:12:30. > :12:36.narrowly missed out on a record-breaking seven London
:12:37. > :12:42.Marathon victory. Despite all that, there were plenty of reasons to
:12:43. > :12:47.smile. The rays produced its usual mix of the eccentric comedy
:12:48. > :12:50.inspiring and the silly. It is this unique spirit which may even
:12:51. > :12:57.persuade Mo Farah to give it another go.
:12:58. > :13:00.The women's race was also won by a Kenyan - by world champion Edna
:13:01. > :13:11.Kiplagat, in an unofficial time of 2.20.20. Dame Sarah Storey broke a
:13:12. > :13:15.world record winning a gold medal at the cycling World Track
:13:16. > :13:19.Championships in Mexico. She broke her own record. Great Britain have
:13:20. > :13:26.one or goals and seven medals in total so far.
:13:27. > :13:33.The final round of the Masters is underway in Augusta. The leaders
:13:34. > :13:36.don't tee off for another few hours. And finally, it was a rumour started
:13:37. > :13:39.by an off-the-cuff remark by the Duke of Cambridge during the royal
:13:40. > :13:42.tour of New Zealand, sparking widespread reports that the Duchess
:13:43. > :13:45.of Cambridge was pregnant again. But it turns out those reports are wide
:13:46. > :13:49.of the mark, as our royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell
:13:50. > :13:55.explains. Royal tours can sometimes be a bumpy
:13:56. > :13:59.ride and sometimes have to navigate unexpected twists and turns. The
:14:00. > :14:04.latest example, a suggestion that Kate might be expecting a second
:14:05. > :14:08.baby. It turned out the providence of the story, unlike the river boat
:14:09. > :14:13.on which she and William took a ride, sank without trace. It came
:14:14. > :14:19.about because William told a woman that she might need to knit another
:14:20. > :14:26.one sometime. Not soon, as was widely reported. The Internet lit
:14:27. > :14:30.up. There is no holding a rumour, especially one involving Kate and
:14:31. > :14:35.pregnancy. How to respond? Here is what they did. They were due at a
:14:36. > :14:39.wine tasting. Kate took several steps and told people how nice it
:14:40. > :14:46.was to be able to drink after having baby George. In message was being
:14:47. > :14:53.sent, the story was wrong. To emphasise the point, they went on a
:14:54. > :14:59.jet boat ride. What does this tell us? Well, a young couple, married
:15:00. > :15:01.for three years, will at some point have a second baby. End of
