:00:00. > :00:10.are released by pro-Russian militants a week after they were

:00:11. > :00:13.taken captive in Eastern Ukraine. Tensions remain high in the region,

:00:14. > :00:18.as further fighting breaks out between government forces and their

:00:19. > :00:21.opponents. In the south of the country, the authorities try to

:00:22. > :00:26.maintain order after dozens died in violence yesterday. K.

:00:27. > :00:29.In Afghanistan, 2,000 people are feared dead, after being buried by

:00:30. > :00:34.landslides in a remote part of the country.

:00:35. > :00:37.And Sinn Fein's Gerry Adams is preparing to spend a fourth night in

:00:38. > :00:58.police custody, where he's being questioned over a murder in 1972.

:00:59. > :01:03.Good evening. The United Nations has welcomed the release of a team of

:01:04. > :01:08.international observers in Eastern Ukraine. The monitors had been

:01:09. > :01:11.captured more than a week ago by pro-Russian activists and held

:01:12. > :01:16.prisoner. Meanwhile there's been more violence today in the city of

:01:17. > :01:20.Slaviansk and nearby Kramatorsk. It follows the deaths yesterday of more

:01:21. > :01:22.than 40 people in a fire that was started during clashes between

:01:23. > :01:27.government supporters and opponents in the southern port of Odessa. From

:01:28. > :01:30.there, Fergal Keane sent this report - and a warning: it contains some

:01:31. > :01:41.disturbing images. These are the moments that have

:01:42. > :01:48.plunged Ukraine into a new and perilous phase of conflict. Here, a

:01:49. > :01:59.Ukrainian militant firing at pro-Russians taking refuge in the

:02:00. > :02:03.burning building. Help us please, a woman pleads from the window, call

:02:04. > :02:10.the fire brigade. Come down, the man replies. They're on the way. Some

:02:11. > :02:17.Ukrainians went to help those who jumped. But as police arrived,

:02:18. > :02:25.others taunted and threatened. They pulled the heads off our activists,

:02:26. > :02:28.this militant says. Today, we saw the make-shift ropes hanging from

:02:29. > :02:34.the windows where people had tried to escape. An eyewitness told us how

:02:35. > :02:38.a mob mentality had taken over. There was clearly a blood lust. The

:02:39. > :02:41.police had not come for an hour-and-a-half. Even there, with

:02:42. > :02:47.the crowd, they did almost nothing to stop any of the violence. There

:02:48. > :02:51.was one piece of good news today, these international military

:02:52. > :02:55.observers, taken captive a week ago, were released by rebels, along with

:02:56. > :03:02.five Ukrainian officers. For one observer, intense relief. It feels

:03:03. > :03:09.great. We're very relieved. We're longing to get back home to our

:03:10. > :03:14.families and loved ones. As that news was being welcomed, there was

:03:15. > :03:18.fresh fighting in the east. These images apparently from the town of

:03:19. > :03:22.Kramatorsk, close to where yesterday's military offensive by

:03:23. > :03:26.the state began. The government says it's retaken the town and blames

:03:27. > :03:33.Russia for instigating the violence here and in Odessa. A line echoed by

:03:34. > :03:37.a leading Kiev politician. TRANSLATION: Putin commits these

:03:38. > :03:41.terrorist acts against every Ukrainian by planning and executing

:03:42. > :03:46.special operations like the one that took place in Odessa yesterday. He

:03:47. > :03:50.wants to set our people against each other. He wants that we shoot at

:03:51. > :03:54.each other, kill each other, that we split the country. Back in Odessa,

:03:55. > :03:58.the entrance to the burned out hallway, riot police looked

:03:59. > :04:03.uncertain, some dejected. They face the anger after the tragedy of the

:04:04. > :04:08.night before. Pro-Russians have gathered to mourn the dead. People

:04:09. > :04:12.had been expecting some kind of trouble in Odessa, but nothing on

:04:13. > :04:16.the scale of what's happened. There's real anger here, but also,

:04:17. > :04:23.more than anything else, a profound sense of shock. Most people I spoke

:04:24. > :04:27.with said they weren't separatists, but they feared their ethnic Russian

:04:28. > :04:32.culture was going to be destroyed by the government and Western

:04:33. > :04:39.supporters. Anastasia is an ethnic Russian and English teacher. What do

:04:40. > :04:47.you think could happen to you? Well, anything. Anything. There is no law

:04:48. > :04:53.now in the country, no law, I tell you. And nobody will answer for what

:04:54. > :04:58.happened yesterday, nobody. The government denies this, but it will

:04:59. > :05:04.be hard to calm such fears. But today the overriding sense was of

:05:05. > :05:08.the anguish of a nation. Where each side mourns its martyrs as they're

:05:09. > :05:12.being pulled ever deeper into conflict.

:05:13. > :05:17.Rescue workers have abandoned their search for any survivors who may be

:05:18. > :05:22.buried under two landslides in north eastern Afghanistan. 350 bodies have

:05:23. > :05:26.been recovered so far, but officials say more than 2,000 people are

:05:27. > :05:30.feared dead. Our correspondent, David Loyn, travelled to the remote

:05:31. > :05:37.village of Ab Barik and sent us this report.

:05:38. > :05:43.The houses on the right survived, those on the left have gone, after

:05:44. > :05:47.the side of the mountain collapsed. And the people who lived here are

:05:48. > :05:53.buried deep down underneath tens of metres of mud. Rescuers have given

:05:54. > :05:57.up digging, knowing that none is left alive. A new landscape has

:05:58. > :06:01.emerged here as farmland collapsed onto the homes of the farmers who

:06:02. > :06:07.planted the fields. The ground underneath my feet has a curiously

:06:08. > :06:11.springy feel. The mud is unstable, unsettled and beneath it lie the

:06:12. > :06:17.bodies of thousands of people, which will probably never be found. The

:06:18. > :06:22.event happened in two phases. When houses were first buried, hundreds

:06:23. > :06:31.ran to help, and then more mud came down. This man was one of them and

:06:32. > :06:38.scrambled to safety. Many others did not. Around 600 people, when they

:06:39. > :06:42.went to rescue those families who were trapped and the mud and debris

:06:43. > :06:47.and everything, so unfortunately, then there was another land slide.

:06:48. > :06:54.Any hope? Which was more severe than the first one. Any hope for the

:06:55. > :06:59.people under the mud? Unfortunately, no. Most of the survivors and there

:07:00. > :07:05.are not many, now have tents, provided by aid agencies, but some

:07:06. > :07:10.are still exposed on the open hillside. Blankets have arrived and

:07:11. > :07:17.basic food aid from international and local agencies. As the second

:07:18. > :07:19.night fell, the only sound that could be heard was of women quietly

:07:20. > :07:31.weeping for the dead. The Sinn Fein leader, Gerry Adams,

:07:32. > :07:35.is preparing to spend a fourth night in custody. He's being questioned in

:07:36. > :07:40.connection with the murder of Jean McConville, a mother of ten killed

:07:41. > :07:44.in 1972. He denies the allegations against him. At a rally today Sinn

:07:45. > :07:47.Fein's Martin McGuinness said the arrest of Mr Adams was the result of

:07:48. > :07:49.political policing, but Northern Ireland's Justice Minister has

:07:50. > :08:00.defended the decision to question him. Nick Higham reports.

:08:01. > :08:03.On -- in West Belfast police close the street while Martin McGuinness

:08:04. > :08:07.laid into their employer. For the third day in a row he attacked some

:08:08. > :08:11.members of the Police Service of Northern Ireland for what he claimed

:08:12. > :08:16.was the politically motivate add rest of Gerry Adams. No police force

:08:17. > :08:18.anywhere in the world is immune from criticism, if it is acting in a

:08:19. > :08:23.politically biassed and criticism, if it is acting in a

:08:24. > :08:33.fashion. The arrest of Gerry Adams is the evidence of that, the fact

:08:34. > :08:37.that there are people in the PSNI who are against the peace process

:08:38. > :08:41.and who hate Sinn Sinn Fein. Was the unveiling of a new mural hailing the

:08:42. > :08:45.Sinn Fein president as a peace maker. Supporters like these are

:08:46. > :08:49.angered by his arrest. Despite that, Martin McGuinness says there's no

:08:50. > :08:53.threat to the Northern Ireland peace process. Sinn Fein backing for the

:08:54. > :08:58.Police Service of Northern Ireland has been an important plank in the

:08:59. > :09:02.peace process. If that were to be withdrawn, it would be a serious

:09:03. > :09:06.blow. Significantly, Martin McGuinness this afternoon has not

:09:07. > :09:09.threatened to withdraw the party's support. Gerry Adams has been

:09:10. > :09:13.questioned about the murder of Jean McConville in 1972. The police

:09:14. > :09:17.insist they have a duty to investigate serious crime

:09:18. > :09:21.impartially. Today they got backing from Northern Ireland's Justice

:09:22. > :09:23.Minister. I've been Justice Minister for four years, since justice was

:09:24. > :09:27.devolved to Northern Ireland. I've seen no sign of political policing.

:09:28. > :09:31.What I do see is politicians from both sides seeking to interfere in

:09:32. > :09:37.the policing process. Meanwhile, Gerry Adams remains in custody here

:09:38. > :09:41.at Antrim police station, where he's being questioned for up to 17 hours

:09:42. > :09:44.a day. He vehemently denies any involvement in Jean McConville's

:09:45. > :09:47.death. A woman has been arrested on a

:09:48. > :09:51.suspicion of assaulting a resident at a care home in Essex that was

:09:52. > :09:54.featured in the BBC's Panorama programme. The documentary led to

:09:55. > :09:57.seven members of staff at the Old Deanery Care Home being sacked. It

:09:58. > :10:01.showed residents being taunted and humiliated. The woman who was

:10:02. > :10:05.arrested was later released on police bail, pending further

:10:06. > :10:08.inquiries. The Foreign Secretary William Hague

:10:09. > :10:12.says he's deeply concerned about the harassment and detention of

:10:13. > :10:15.journalists in Egypt. His comments came ahead of the latest court

:10:16. > :10:17.appearance by three journalists from Al Jazeera's English channel,

:10:18. > :10:22.accused of terrorism-related offences. The journalists, including

:10:23. > :10:29.the former BBC correspondent Peter Greste, deny the charges. From

:10:30. > :10:35.Cairo, Orla Guerin reports. Coming to plead his case, Al-Jazeera

:10:36. > :10:40.producer. He stead was his job to have contacts across the political

:10:41. > :10:47.spectrum from the now banned Muslim Brotherhood, to the police and the

:10:48. > :10:55.army. He told the court it was world press freedom day. The judge offered

:10:56. > :11:02.his best wishes, but refused bail. Soon he was back behind bars,

:11:03. > :11:07.alongside his fellow producer and the Australian reporter Peter

:11:08. > :11:12.Greste. The trio have already spent four months in jail, accused of

:11:13. > :11:17.broadcasting misleading stories and joining or aiding the Brotherhood.

:11:18. > :11:21.The court is now in recess and we've managed to speak to the journalists

:11:22. > :11:26.who are still here in the cages. Peter Greste told us, "You can't

:11:27. > :11:30.have a free press in Egypt, as long as journalists can wind up in jail."

:11:31. > :11:34.He said he and his colleagues had as journalists can wind up in jail."

:11:35. > :11:39.suffered a massive injustice. He said access to their lawyers had

:11:40. > :11:42.been virtually non-existent. Outside, relatives insisted the

:11:43. > :11:49.trial, which began in February, has gone on far too long. They're award

:11:50. > :11:55.winning, highly reden shalled journalists, to see them here and

:11:56. > :11:59.the trial continue is a shame. It's really, they don't deserve to be

:12:00. > :12:04.there. Back in court, a parting message from the accused as they

:12:05. > :12:09.were led to their cells. Happy world press freedom day.

:12:10. > :12:12.The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, has spoken of the hurt

:12:13. > :12:17.suffered by supporters of female priests. His remarks came during a

:12:18. > :12:18.service at St Paul's Cathedral to mark the 20th anniversary of women's

:12:19. > :12:30.Women priests, once unthinkable, now ordination.

:12:31. > :12:34.Women priests, once unthinkable, now indispensable to a church making its

:12:35. > :12:38.way in an unequal society. Women make up a third of the church's

:12:39. > :12:40.clergy, never before have so many gathered in one place. A mother and

:12:41. > :12:44.daughter say gathered in one place. A mother and

:12:45. > :12:48.the church has been a long battle. The early years were a struggle,

:12:49. > :12:52.the church has been a long battle. I continued to be inspired by Jesus,

:12:53. > :12:57.who valued women, respected what they had to offer. I'm incredibly

:12:58. > :12:59.grateful to the pioneers who have pioneered the way forward and for my

:13:00. > :13:03.generation of women. A marching band pioneered the way forward and for my

:13:04. > :13:08.led them to pioneered the way forward and for my

:13:09. > :13:11.joy, a rocky road lies ahead, a high proportion of women

:13:12. > :13:13.joy, a rocky road lies ahead, a high unpaid and the recruitment of

:13:14. > :13:16.joy, a rocky road lies ahead, a high women has dried to a trickle. For 20

:13:17. > :13:21.years women priests have been told not to celebrate their achievements

:13:22. > :13:25.too loudly for fear of alienating those who still oppose them. Today,

:13:26. > :13:29.they say, represents the church's first formal public recognition of

:13:30. > :13:33.their status as priests and their permanent place in the Church of

:13:34. > :13:38.England. At St Paul's, a woman priest

:13:39. > :13:44.presided, the Archbishop of Canterbury her assistant. In his

:13:45. > :13:53.south-easterlion, he -- sermon, he apologised for his part in hurting

:13:54. > :13:57.women priests. It hasn't always been easy for the church to change. Now

:13:58. > :14:07.with all the day's sport we go to the BBC's sports centre. It's been a

:14:08. > :14:11.day of drama at the top and the bottom of the Premier League. Match

:14:12. > :14:15.of Day and Sportscene follow the news on BBC One, so if you don't

:14:16. > :14:16.want to know what happened, you know what to do. Manchester City remain

:14:17. > :14:20.want to know what happened, you know in charge of the title race after

:14:21. > :14:23.beating Everton 3-2 at Goodison Park. Two goals from Edin Dzeko and

:14:24. > :14:27.one from Sergio Aguero have lifted them back to the top of table on

:14:28. > :14:30.goal difference. But Fulham have been relegated after suffering a

:14:31. > :14:33.heavy 4-1 defeat at Stoke. Their fans were left in tears at the final

:14:34. > :14:37.whistle, as their 13-year stay in the top flight came to an end.

:14:38. > :14:40.They'll be joined in the Championship by Cardiff, who lost

:14:41. > :14:43.3-0 to Newcastle United. The Welsh Club came into the game bottom of

:14:44. > :14:45.the table and drop down after just one season in the Premier League.

:14:46. > :14:48.Both their fates one season in the Premier League.

:14:49. > :14:52.Sunderland's shock 1-0 win at Manchester United. Sebastian Larsson

:14:53. > :14:58.scored the only goal of the game at Old Trafford, as Sunderland took

:14:59. > :15:02.another big step towards safety. Elsewhere Aston Villa beat Hull 3-1.

:15:03. > :15:09.Ricky Lambert scored a 90th-minute winner for Southampton at Swansea

:15:10. > :15:12.and West Ham beat Tottenham 2-0. In the Championship the Birmingham City

:15:13. > :15:15.manager Lee Clark celebrated his team's survival on the last day of

:15:16. > :15:19.the season with a run into the stand. He'd just watched his side

:15:20. > :15:23.score in the 93rd minute to come back from 2-0 down against Bolton

:15:24. > :15:31.and secure the point they needed to escape relegation. If you get a goal

:15:32. > :15:36.in the last ten minutes, you can always put pressure on. To be honest

:15:37. > :15:42.with you, we deserved to win the game, but we've done what was

:15:43. > :15:46.necessary. We've done it in a way that I only believed was in dreams.

:15:47. > :15:49.And there was also a dramatic end at the City ground where Brighton came

:15:50. > :15:52.from behind against Nottingham Forest to secure the last play-off

:15:53. > :15:56.place. Leonardo Ojoer scoring the winner in stoppage time. Brighton

:15:57. > :16:01.now face Derby in the play-off semi finals. Celtic are still on course

:16:02. > :16:03.for a record tally of 100 points in the Scottish Premiership after they

:16:04. > :16:17.beat Aberdeen 5-2. There's a real battle going on in

:16:18. > :16:20.the World Snooker Championship semi-final between Mark Selby and

:16:21. > :16:32.Neil Robertson. The players resumed tonight's final session tied at 12

:16:33. > :16:38.frames all. Selby leads 16-15. Ronnie O'Sullivan awaits the winner

:16:39. > :16:49.in the final. That's all the sport. That's all from me. Good night.

:16:50. > :16:56.Good evening. Daytime temperatures will ton rise through -- will

:16:57. > :16:59.continue to rise through the bank holiday weekend. It will be cold

:17:00. > :17:03.tonight across parts of the south, with clear skies. Further north it's

:17:04. > :17:06.a different night to last night. More cloud moves in bringing

:17:07. > :17:09.outbreaks of rain. That keeps temperatures up. It turns misty and

:17:10. > :17:10.murky too. Many
