Cyril Smith, a senior Liberal Democrat says the party has serious | :00:23. | :00:35. | |
questions to answer. And the final letter from a passenger on the | :00:36. | :00:36. | |
Titanic goes on sale. Good afternoon. The leaders of the | :00:37. | :00:55. | |
G7 group of industrialised countries are to impose further sanctions on | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
Russia because they say it has failed to defuse the crisis in | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
Ukraine. The White House said the measures, targeting trade, could be | :01:04. | :01:14. | |
introduced as early as Monday. Our world affairs correspondent, Rob | :01:15. | :01:21. | |
Broomby, reports. Russian military manoeuvres on Ukraine 's border | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
leave little doubt. The message to the Ukrainian government is aware. | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
Russia is inflaming an already tense situation. They pledged tighter | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
sanctions as soon as Monday when EU diplomats meet. They expect to | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
include measures on trade, finance and more. The Ukrainian deputy | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
Foreign Minister called on Russia to stop threatening. I call upon the | :01:43. | :01:50. | |
Russian authorities to withdraw troops on the Ukrainian border. | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
There is not any reason to keep troops near Ukraine. Despite | :01:56. | :02:02. | |
attempts to regain control, the Ukrainian forces are treading | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
carefully. They have been praised for their restraint by the West. | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
Anything that could be construed as provoking Russia could be | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
catastrophic. In the latest incident, the pro-Russian forces had | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
shown of the emblems and documentary documents of observers they have | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
captured. The rebels accused members of the German led mission of | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
espionage for NATO. Ukrainian Security service quoted by Reuters | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
says one member of the mission requires urgent medical attention | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
and they say they could be used as human shields. In another twist, | :02:38. | :02:44. | |
Russia, itself a member says they should be freed and Moscow is taking | :02:45. | :02:52. | |
all steps to that end. The G7 says Russia has taken no concrete action | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
to de-escalate the crisis to date or to rein in Russian separatists they | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
accuse of destabilising Ukraine. The region remains on a knife edge. The | :03:02. | :03:09. | |
Liberal Democrat president has said members of his party need to answer | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
serious questions about what they knew of alleged sexual abuse by the | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
late Cyril Smith. Police are investigating claims the MP for | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
Rochdale abused boys at care homes and hospitals in the town. Our | :03:23. | :03:32. | |
political correspondent reports. Famously outspoken, Sir Cyril Smith | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
was a big figure in the Liberal Democrat party. He was the MP Anne | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
Maher of Rochdale for 20 years. For decades, there have been allegations | :03:42. | :03:49. | |
he sexually abused boys at homes in the hostels -- and hostels in the | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
town. New claims emerged he had abused boys on the premises of a | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
school in Rochdale. Nick Clegg has rejected calls for the party to | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
investigate. The most important in Rochdale. Nick Clegg has rejected | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
calls for the party to investigate. The most important enquirer Valk is | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
the only people who can now added his voice. He says there are serious | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
questions to be answered. The party absolutely, as the Labour Party also | :04:16. | :04:24. | |
because civil space belong to them -- Cyril Smith belonged to them when | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
the allegations were taking place, they need to answer serious | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
questions about who knew what and when. This is about a politician who | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
abused boys. He did that over many years. Party politics needs to be | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
set aside. We need to get to the bottom of why he managed to get away | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
with it. Despite numerous investigations while he was alive, | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
Cyril Smith was never charged with any offence. An independent review | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
into the way the school was run is due to report the Rochdale Council. | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
The NATO-led international force in Afghanistan has said five of its | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
troops have been killed in a helicopter crash in the southern | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
province of Kandahar. Local officials said the cause of the | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
crash was technical failure. The nationalities of those killed have | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
not been released. Afghanistan is set to announce the results of its | :05:21. | :05:22. | |
presidential election later this afternoon. The vote was held earlier | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
this month, when millions of Afghans defied threats of Taliban violence | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
to take to the polls. But no candidate is likely to have won the | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
50% of votes they need to win outright, making another runoff | :05:33. | :05:41. | |
election likely. David Loyn, reports. Three weeks after the polls | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
closed and all eyes are on the Election Commission as it prepares | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
to announce the last 18% of results. The former Foreign Minister has been | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
in the lead so far but hovering around 43 towards -- - 44%. He | :05:56. | :06:04. | |
remains confident his vote will go up today. He says he could still be | :06:05. | :06:20. | |
robbed of victory. The votes in Herat, these boats are required. -- | :06:21. | :06:33. | |
votes. His closest rival is ten points behind. Statistically he has | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
no chance of reaching 50% once the remaining votes are counted. He is | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
in a weaker position to prevent a second round. Both men want to fight | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
on. There will be further weeks of discussion while complaints are | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
investigated. Voters came out in unprecedented numbers. It will be | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
some time still before they wonder whether there will be the country 's | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
first peaceful handover of power from one elected president to | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
another. Manchester United fans have begun arriving at Old Trafford ahead | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
of Ryan Giggs's first game as interim manager. They'll watch their | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
team play Norwich City later this afternoon, amid speculation that the | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
club's new permanent manager may already have been appointed. Joining | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
us from Old Trafford is our sports correspondent, David Ornstein. | :07:20. | :07:26. | |
Another big day at Manchester United. It certainly is. That man is | :07:27. | :07:33. | |
potentially van Gaal, a man with a great track record in European | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
football, current manager of the Netherlands. He will be taking the | :07:37. | :07:46. | |
Dutch to Brazil. There is believed to be an offer on the table from | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
Tottenham Hotspur for his services, that is according to people in the | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
Dutchman 's camp. United, if they want to appoint him, do not want to | :07:56. | :08:03. | |
miss out. United and the man himself would want a deal in place certainly | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
before he takes to the plane for Brazil. That is down the line. Now | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
the new era begins under interim manager, Ryan Giggs. Not just him | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
but three of his chums from the class of 92, Paul Scholes, film | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
apple and Nicky butt. What a team they are bound to make for the visit | :08:21. | :08:27. | |
of Norwich City. They will get a great reception from the Old | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
Trafford crowd. They will hope for a victorious end to the season. The | :08:32. | :08:39. | |
only letter known to have been written onboard the Titanic on the | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
day it sank is being sold at an auction in Wiltshire today. It was | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
written by a passenger and her daughter a few hours before the ship | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
hit an iceberg and sank in April 1912. It only survived because of an | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
act of kindness, as Duncan Kennedy explains. Esther Hart sat down with | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
her seven- year-old daughter, Eva, to write the letter, just eight | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
hours or so before the Titanic hit the iceberg. Addressed to her mother | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
in London, Mrs Hart wrote that they were enjoying what she called the | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
wonderful journey. She said they were likely to arrive in New York | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
early because of the speed the ship was doing. The letter ended up in | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
the coat pocket of her husband, Benjamin. It only survived because | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
he gave her the coat to keep warm. He died along with more than 1500 | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
others. The letter could sell for around ?100,000 when it is auctioned | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
in Wiltshire today. Titanic memorabilia continues to be big | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
business. A menu on the day of the disaster was sold for ?76,000, | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
whilst a violin played as the ship sank went for ?900,000. | :09:36. | :09:46. | |

There will be more news on BBC One at 6:40pm. But, for now, goodbye. | :09:56. | :10:05. | |
Hallow. Still mixed through the rest of the weekend. You can see this | :10:06. | :10:19. | |
cloud wrapped around the low pressure which has | :10:20. | :10:20. |
