Ukraine says it's launching what it calls a full scale anti-terrorist

:00:00.:00:09.

operation in the troubled east of the country. It comes on a weekend

:00:10.:00:18.

of violence, after pro-Russian gunmen seized control of key

:00:19.:00:23.

government buildings. There's a new call from climate

:00:24.:00:26.

scientists saying we must reduce our reliance on fossil fuels.

:00:27.:00:29.

Marathon-man Mo Farah finishes eighth on his London debut. The

:00:30.:00:35.

double Olympic champion says over the distance there's still

:00:36.:00:38.

unfinished business. And a thrilling match packed with

:00:39.:00:41.

emotion sees Liverpool take control at the top of the Premier League.

:00:42.:01:02.

Ukraine has declared it will launch what it calls a "full-scale

:01:03.:01:06.

anti-terrorist operation" in the east of the country. It follows

:01:07.:01:11.

further incidents involving pro-Russian militants gaining

:01:12.:01:13.

control of key government buildings in eastern Ukraine - moves which

:01:14.:01:18.

have been condemned by the West. Attacks in the past 48 hours have

:01:19.:01:21.

happened in Sloviansk, Mariupol and Kramatorsk. Our correspondent Daniel

:01:22.:01:27.

Sandford is in eastern Ukraine, and sent this report.

:01:28.:01:39.

The extraordinary moment last night when men in uniform carrying modern

:01:40.:01:48.

military weapons stormed the police station in Kramatorsk. Although the

:01:49.:01:52.

shooting scene to be more for a fact than damage, it was the most

:01:53.:01:59.

effective looking raid scene in the last few weeks. This afternoon, the

:02:00.:02:03.

bullet holes were clearly visible, although no one seems to have been

:02:04.:02:09.

hurt. The pro-Russian activists, now unarmed, were still in control. I

:02:10.:02:14.

asked one to explain what they want. TRANSLATION: We cannot stay as part

:02:15.:02:22.

of the Ukraine. We want to have our own Constitution. We want to be like

:02:23.:02:27.

Crimea, an autonomous region. If that demand is not met, it is better

:02:28.:02:31.

for us to be part of the Russian Federation. Checkpoints mark the

:02:32.:02:37.

miles of roads the Ukrainian government does not currently

:02:38.:02:42.

control. One town of 100,000 people, Sloviansk, has become a fortress.

:02:43.:02:47.

Pro-Russian groups have all but sealed this town off, with only one

:02:48.:02:53.

road in and one road out. We found the way Ian passed masked men with

:02:54.:02:59.

guns and discovered a town which, apart from government helicopters

:03:00.:03:04.

flying overhead, seem to be completely in the hands of people

:03:05.:03:08.

loyal to Russia. An operation to take back the town this morning

:03:09.:03:12.

appears to have failed. This evening, the president was promising

:03:13.:03:20.

a fresh attempt to assert control. TRANSLATION: National Security

:03:21.:03:25.

Council has decided to start a large-scale anti-terrorist operation

:03:26.:03:33.

using the Ukrainian army. The people actively supporting the uprising in

:03:34.:03:37.

the east are few, but the Ukrainian government is worried that if they

:03:38.:03:42.

react too strongly, it could give Russia and excuse to use much

:03:43.:03:45.

greater military force. And Daniel is in Donetsk now. What

:03:46.:03:54.

has been the reaction of Russia? Well, we've seen a strong statement

:03:55.:03:59.

from the Russian Foreign Ministry this evening reacting to what the

:04:00.:04:03.

Ukrainian president had to say about launching an anti-terrorist

:04:04.:04:08.

operation. The Russian Foreign Ministry described that as an

:04:09.:04:11.

outrageous threat to attack protesters and called on the west to

:04:12.:04:16.

rein in its allies in Ukraine. It said the chances of avoiding a civil

:04:17.:04:21.

war in Ukraine were now up to the west. It is like Russia is playing

:04:22.:04:25.

an amazing game of chicken with Ukraine, seeing how far it can push

:04:26.:04:29.

the government and what kind of reaction it gets from Kiev. This is

:04:30.:04:36.

all in the week a few days before the new government in Kiev is due to

:04:37.:04:40.

meet with the Russian government and the European Union for those talks

:04:41.:04:45.

in Geneva. Whether we get to those talks is likely in doubt this

:04:46.:04:50.

evening because the Russians are really pushing the Ukrainians

:04:51.:04:55.

incredibly hard. Thank you. A new UN report on climate change

:04:56.:04:59.

says the world needs to act quickly to phase out the use of the dirtiest

:05:00.:05:02.

fossil fuels and cut Co2 emissions. It calls for a massive shift to

:05:03.:05:05.

renewable energy like wind and solar, and says the costs of the

:05:06.:05:08.

transition wouldn't be as high previously thought. The report was

:05:09.:05:13.

released in Berlin and our science editor David Shukman is there.

:05:14.:05:22.

To head off future warming, to minimise the risks of extreme

:05:23.:05:25.

weather and the melting of the ice caps, this new report says

:05:26.:05:29.

greenhouse gases must be brought under control. The cumulative Co2

:05:30.:05:34.

emissions have more than doubled since 1970. Today, the climate panel

:05:35.:05:41.

said fossil fuels are giving off so much carbon dioxide that is switched

:05:42.:05:46.

to greener technology is needed now. It means more clean electricity and

:05:47.:05:54.

efficiency, and we need to act now. If we don't, we will face many

:05:55.:06:00.

dangerous climate change impacts. The most polluting fossil fuels like

:06:01.:06:03.

this call should be phased out, according to the report. Cleaner gas

:06:04.:06:09.

should be used instead. Beyond that, the emphasis is on renewable

:06:10.:06:14.

energy like solar power. This still needs to be subsidised, said the

:06:15.:06:21.

report at colleges are no easy ways forward. This machine is all that is

:06:22.:06:25.

left of a coal mine. Now, it is covered by one of the largest

:06:26.:06:30.

installations of solar panels in Germany. It is the sort of

:06:31.:06:34.

transition that the report says is needed. But at the moment, it makes

:06:35.:06:39.

power more expensive and that reduces the appetite for change.

:06:40.:06:43.

This experimental project traps greenhouse gases. This is one option

:06:44.:06:48.

for the future. But like many ideas, it will add cost. Whether or not

:06:49.:06:53.

society ultimately is willing to pay the necessary price to avoid climate

:06:54.:06:58.

change, we will have to wait and see. But greener energy may bring

:06:59.:07:04.

another benefit as well. Cleaning up polluted air in many cities. Using

:07:05.:07:09.

less energy means there is less local air pollution, especially if

:07:10.:07:15.

we drive less. So local air quality improves. If you drive less and you

:07:16.:07:20.

bike more or walk more, that has benefits for your own personal help.

:07:21.:07:27.

The report maps out options for a greener future but it is now up to

:07:28.:07:30.

governments around the world to choose how to respond.

:07:31.:07:34.

The organisers of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow have scrapped plans

:07:35.:07:37.

to demolish five tower blocks as part of the opening ceremony. An

:07:38.:07:40.

online petition against the proposal has gathered thousands of

:07:41.:07:42.

signatures. But Glasgow 2014 say "safety and security" concerns now

:07:43.:07:45.

mean the destruction of the flats won't feature in the ceremony.

:07:46.:07:56.

Now, with all the action from the London marathon, plus all the rest

:07:57.:07:59.

of the day's sport, here's Karthi at the BBC Sport Centre. Today's game

:08:00.:08:09.

between Liverpool and Man City could prove to be the deciding match in

:08:10.:08:15.

the Premier League title race. An enthralling win the Liverpool means

:08:16.:08:18.

they will be champions for the first time since 1990 if they win their

:08:19.:08:23.

four remaining games. But today's victory had an emotional edge to it

:08:24.:08:27.

with Anfield marking the anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster.

:08:28.:08:35.

An extraordinary start to an extraordinary day. Thousands

:08:36.:08:40.

gathered to support the team. The 25th anniversary of Hillsborough

:08:41.:08:44.

adding poignancy to the passion as Anfield fell silent to remember the

:08:45.:08:46.

96 fans who lost their lives. The occasion seemed to inspire the

:08:47.:08:57.

team, as Liverpool began in dazzling style. Liverpool were in dreamland

:08:58.:09:09.

before the break with a second goal. But the second half saw a

:09:10.:09:20.

stunning turnaround. It was level and utterly compelling. With barely

:09:21.:09:25.

ten minutes left, the Captain Vincent Kompany fluffed. Philippe

:09:26.:09:35.

Coutinho fired, and once again a wall of noise. But could they hold

:09:36.:09:40.

on? Despite a late red card but Jordan Henderson, they did, and you

:09:41.:09:45.

could see what it meant. Four games to go, Paul wins, and they will be

:09:46.:09:55.

champions. For Liverpool fans, a day of passion, drama and triumph. And a

:09:56.:10:00.

first league title in 24 years is now firmly in their sights.

:10:01.:10:09.

Chelsea are two points behind after a 1-win over Swansea. Demba Ba

:10:10.:10:18.

scored in their 1-0 win over Swansea.

:10:19.:10:28.

And in the FA Cup semifinal at Wembley, Hull City beat League One

:10:29.:10:31.

Sheffield United 5-3 to reach the final for the first time. The

:10:32.:10:34.

Premier League side had trailed 2-1, but responded with goals from Matty

:10:35.:10:36.

Fryatt and Tom Huddlestone. Hull will now play Arsenal in the final

:10:37.:10:39.

at Wembley on 17th May. Saint Johnstone will play after

:10:40.:10:46.

beating Aberdeen 2-1. They play Dundee United in next month's final.

:10:47.:10:52.

Tens of thousands of runners enjoyed beautiful sunshine for the London

:10:53.:10:56.

Marathon. The home crowd was hoping to see double Olympic champion Mo

:10:57.:10:59.

Farah win, but he finished in eighth.

:11:00.:11:08.

Ford Mo Farah this was a step into the unknown. After months of

:11:09.:11:12.

training, we would find out if you could bring his golden touch on the

:11:13.:11:17.

track to the gruelling 26.2 miles of the marathon. As thousands set off

:11:18.:11:24.

this morning, you couldn't help feeling this year's marathon was all

:11:25.:11:29.

about one man. That by the midway point, it was clear he was

:11:30.:11:33.

struggling to keep up with the leading pack. His inexperience also

:11:34.:11:40.

showed, here failing to grasp a much-needed drink early on. In the

:11:41.:11:47.

end, the gap in class was simply too big, with Kenya's Wilson Kipsang

:11:48.:11:58.

striding home with a new record. So no fairy tale Dubuque for Mo Farah

:11:59.:12:04.

in the London Marathon. He found a stab at just too difficult. The

:12:05.:12:12.

question is now, does he persist with this distance or does he

:12:13.:12:17.

switch? I'm not going to finish like this. I will be back. It is about

:12:18.:12:25.

learning. There was more British disappointment the David Weir who

:12:26.:12:29.

narrowly missed out on a record-breaking seven London

:12:30.:12:36.

Marathon victory. Despite all that, there were plenty of reasons to

:12:37.:12:42.

smile. The rays produced its usual mix of the eccentric comedy

:12:43.:12:47.

inspiring and the silly. It is this unique spirit which may even

:12:48.:12:50.

persuade Mo Farah to give it another go.

:12:51.:12:57.

The women's race was also won by a Kenyan - by world champion Edna

:12:58.:13:00.

Kiplagat, in an unofficial time of 2.20.20. Dame Sarah Storey broke a

:13:01.:13:11.

world record winning a gold medal at the cycling World Track

:13:12.:13:15.

Championships in Mexico. She broke her own record. Great Britain have

:13:16.:13:19.

one or goals and seven medals in total so far.

:13:20.:13:26.

The final round of the Masters is underway in Augusta. The leaders

:13:27.:13:33.

don't tee off for another few hours. And finally, it was a rumour started

:13:34.:13:36.

by an off-the-cuff remark by the Duke of Cambridge during the royal

:13:37.:13:39.

tour of New Zealand, sparking widespread reports that the Duchess

:13:40.:13:42.

of Cambridge was pregnant again. But it turns out those reports are wide

:13:43.:13:45.

of the mark, as our royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell

:13:46.:13:49.

explains. Royal tours can sometimes be a bumpy

:13:50.:13:55.

ride and sometimes have to navigate unexpected twists and turns. The

:13:56.:13:59.

latest example, a suggestion that Kate might be expecting a second

:14:00.:14:04.

baby. It turned out the providence of the story, unlike the river boat

:14:05.:14:08.

on which she and William took a ride, sank without trace. It came

:14:09.:14:13.

about because William told a woman that she might need to knit another

:14:14.:14:19.

one sometime. Not soon, as was widely reported. The Internet lit

:14:20.:14:26.

up. There is no holding a rumour, especially one involving Kate and

:14:27.:14:30.

pregnancy. How to respond? Here is what they did. They were due at a

:14:31.:14:35.

wine tasting. Kate took several steps and told people how nice it

:14:36.:14:39.

was to be able to drink after having baby George. In message was being

:14:40.:14:46.

sent, the story was wrong. To emphasise the point, they went on a

:14:47.:14:53.

jet boat ride. What does this tell us? Well, a young couple, married

:14:54.:14:59.

for three years, will at some point have a second baby. End of

:15:00.:15:01.
