Sinn Fein President Gerry Adams is released without charge - after four | :00:07. | :00:12. | |
days in police custody. Mr Adams was questioned over the | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
murder of a mother of ten in the 1970s. A file will now be sent to | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
prosecutors. In Ukraine, pro-Russian activists | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
attack a police station holding people being questioned over a | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
deadly fire two days ago. After Pfizer's bid for Astra Zeneca | :00:26. | :00:29. | |

British firms. And Norwich cling on to their | :00:31. | :00:41. | |
Premier League status for now - with a defiant draw at Chelsea. | :00:42. | :01:03. | |
Good evening. The Sinn Fein President Gerry Adams has been | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
released without charge by police in Antrim this afternoon after being | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
questioned for four days over the murder of Jean McConville in 1972. | :01:12. | :01:20. | |
He denies any involvement. A file will now be sent to prosecutors. Our | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
Ireland correspondent Chris Buckler is outside the police station. This | :01:24. | :01:34. | |
has been a week of strong words and raised tensions. But combination of | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
a leading politician, apparent military murder and the police would | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
always be a toxic mix -- a paramilitary murder. Sinn Fein said | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
they may withdraw their support for policing in Northern Ireland or | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
certainly withdraw it. There is a Loyalist protest here at the gates | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
of Antrim police station. However, Gerry Adams has now been released | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
from custody without charge and he is expected to leave this building | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
after many hours of questioning shortly. | :02:08. | :02:14. | |
A Sinn Fein politician walked out of Antrim police station this afternoon | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
ahead of Gerry Adams. His party colleague Jerry Kelly was allowed | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
into the station for a short time as Loyalists protested outside. Sinn | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
Fein's anger has grown each day. Their leader has being questioned | :02:30. | :02:37. | |
about the murder of Jean McConville. If there is policing | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
which we see as wrong we will speak out against that. This is a very | :02:43. | :02:52. | |
serious situation. Gerry Kelly was heckled as he left. Sinn Fein, if | :02:53. | :03:00. | |
you look at some of the language, some of the tactics which have been | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
adopted over this issue, I think there is an attempt to intimidate | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
the police, to intimidate the judicial system and that should not | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
happen in a democratic society. No one is above the law. But on streets | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
in Republican areas, there is the view that police have been playing | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
politics by making an arrest ahead of elections. And I are memorial in | :03:22. | :03:29. | |
west Belfast today was a reminder of years of conflict. History that was | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
told by former paramilitaries to research is why Boston College | :03:36. | :03:42. | |
project. The police have dozens of so-called Boston takes in their | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
possession. Baited by some, hated by others, Mr Adams has always divided | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
opinion but he insists he had nothing to do with Jean | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
McConville's murder. This new mural is now a new tourist attraction. It | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
is streets away from where the mother of ten was taken from her | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
family in 1972. It is understood that the Director | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
of Public Prosecutions in Northern Ireland will take no part in the | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
decision because he used to be Gerry Adams' solicitor at one time so the | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
decision will be taken by his deputy. Whatever happens in terms of | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
this investigation, one thing is clear, it has again strained the | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
often fraught political relationships here in Northern | :04:33. | :04:34. | |
Ireland. Chris, thank you. | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
Police in Ukraine have released dozens of people arrested following | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
Friday's fire in Odessa which claimed the lives of more than 40 | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
pro-Russian activists. They were let go after the police station where | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
they were being questioned came under attack. The move came as | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
Ukraine's interim Prime Minister blamed the country's security | :04:53. | :04:54. | |
services for failing to prevent the deaths. Fergal Keane reports from | :04:55. | :05:03. | |
Ukraine. The blunt force of a people's anger. | :05:04. | :05:10. | |
In Odessa, the pro-Russian crowds converged on police headquarters, | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
demanding the release of prisoners. They are furious, blaming Ukraine's | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
government for the deaths of their comrades. This vehicle surrounded as | :05:19. | :05:25. | |
it tried to reverse the way. And this police van attacked. Among many | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
ethnic Russians, the Odessa tragedy is a defining moment in their | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
relationship with the state. But Ukraine's Prime Minister told me he | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
blames his own police for failing to stop the Byland 's. I am seeing the | :05:41. | :05:48. | |
security service to execute its duty, to preserve peace and | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
stability and protect the life of every human being. That is what the | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
security service in your country would do. In the east, where the | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
army is battling pro-Russian militants, this was the scene. The | :06:02. | :06:10. | |
violence has flared as the government has pressed on with its | :06:11. | :06:18. | |
offensive. We found pro-Russian demonstrators showing contempt for | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
the Ukrainian flag. Russia, Russia, they sang. And then gunfire. Some | :06:22. | :06:31. | |
prisoners had arrived. The crowd ran to attack them. We saw the guards | :06:32. | :06:42. | |
dry them back. -- dry them back. As this man is dragged, he his hit and | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
falls. They disappear into the building. This is an incredibly | :06:49. | :06:55. | |
tense situation, as we have seen, men have been dragged away, they | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
have been set upon by the crowd and now they are being pulled into the | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
building. It gives you an idea of the anger and tension that there is | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
here. The state is far away and force the only law. | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
The Labour leader Ed Miliband says there needs to be an independent | :07:13. | :07:14. | |
assessment of whether a foreign takeover of the British drug company | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
AstraZeneca, is in the national interest. He said David Cameron | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
appeared to be "cheerleading" for the bid from the American drugs | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
giant Pfizer. Downing Street says it's fighting for British jobs and | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
science. Our political correspondent Alex Forsyth reports. | :07:29. | :07:35. | |
They are two pharmaceutical giants and if the UK's giant Pfizer | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
swallows up AstraZeneca, it will be the biggest ever takeover of a U K | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
company by a foreign firm. AstraZeneca employs 7000 people in | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
the UK and Pfizer, 2000. There is concern about what a deal would be | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
for British jobs and the wider science industry. Today, the Labour | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
leader Ed Miliband has written to the Prime Minister urging him to | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
take a closer look at the proposed deal. When we have the largest | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
takeover in British history, with all the | :08:09. | :08:10. | |
takeover in British history, with base, that has to be an independent | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
assessment on our national interest. Currently, the government can | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
assessment on our national interest. intervene on a takeover on three | :08:21. | :08:20. | |
grounds, if the company would intervene on a takeover on three | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
an influence on the media, if it would affect national secure the or | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
stability. Labour wants to widen this to include abroad interest test | :08:29. | :08:36. | |
to protect key industries such as science and technology. Ed Miliband | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
wants to be seen to be sticking up for British interests, protecting | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
well skilled British jobs. But this follows his plans to cap energy | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
prices and rent hikes and it has led to accusations from the | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
Conservatives and others that he is anti-business. The government is | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
already watching this proposed deal very closely. What we are | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
endeavouring to do is to make sure that Britain's excellent science | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
base, the pharmaceutical research is properly protected, manufacture it | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
in the UK and decision-making. That is what we are talking about. | :09:11. | :09:17. | |
AstraZeneca has already rejected two offers from Pfizer. A third bid is | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
almost certainly on its way. The Archbishop of Canterbury has | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
expressed support for the Prime Minister's view that Britain's | :09:25. | :09:26. | |
underlying values are based on Christianity. It follows criticism | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
of David Cameron's views from secular groups. This report contains | :09:30. | :09:38. | |
flashing images. St Peter's in London was full this | :09:39. | :09:44. | |
morning but elsewhere, congregations are dwindling. Although the | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
church's influence is waning, the Prime Minister has insisted that | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
Britain remains a Christian country. Secularists have criticised the | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
claim that the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, says the | :09:57. | :10:03. | |
Archbishop is right. The basic thing is if you look at the nature of the | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
human being and the basic dignity reflects the values of Jesus | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
Christ. Like many Anglican churches, St Peter's runs a school funded by | :10:14. | :10:23. | |
the state. It provides the setting shaped by Christian values. The fact | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
that it is often oversubscribed, claimed the parents, the is because | :10:28. | :10:34. | |
many Muslim parents prefer a school with a religious ethos rather than | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
one which is entirely secular. Critics say the church is too small | :10:40. | :10:46. | |
to justify educating nearly a million children. Justin Welby | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
disagrees. Yellow macro people choose these schools and they are | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
often in the poorest parts of the country. We should seek to love and | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
serve people through these schools as we have done for hundreds of | :10:58. | :11:06. | |
years. The school has been provided through being the active church of | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
state. Tens of thousands of South Africans | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
attended a rally of the governing African National Congress today, its | :11:15. | :11:16. | |
final one before this week's elections. But 20 years after Nelson | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
Mandela became South Africa's first democratically elected leader, there | :11:21. | :11:22. | |
are growing concerns about inequality and corruption. Our | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
Africa correspondent Andrew Harding reports. | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
In a poor neighbourhood, a South African maverick comes looking for | :11:32. | :11:41. | |
votes. He is facing fraud charges. His plans are to nationalise the | :11:42. | :11:49. | |
economy. Black people, you are fighting now. In the west, people | :11:50. | :11:56. | |
are very scared of you, they call you a demagogue in the making who | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
will turn your country into another Zimbabwe with land reforms and so | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
on. Yellow agribusiness our country. What we do with our country has | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
nothing to do with what goes on outside. Political opposition is | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
spreading here as people grow tired of corruption and alarmingly high | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
unemployment. We had freedom but we have got nothing now. And yet it is | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
also clear that many South Africans are better off after 20 years of | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
democracy. The governing ANC holding its final campaign rally here claims | :12:35. | :12:41. | |
much of the credit. Because of the ANC I am free. I was studying and | :12:42. | :12:50. | |
now I am working. We have water, roads. It is difficult to argue with | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
these numbers. The ANC may have its problems but it has the power of the | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
state behind it and the enduring loyalty of millions of South | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
Africans. And so President Jacob Zuma brushes off corruption | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
allegations, promises more jobs and investment and prepares for | :13:10. | :13:11. | |
something close to another landslide victory. | :13:12. | :13:21. | |
Time now for some sport. Thank you. Chelsea have missed the | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
chance to move to the top of the Barclays Premier League after they | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
were held to a goalless draw by Norwich. The result is a major blow | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
to their hopes of winning the title. Earlier Arsenal beat West Bromich | :13:33. | :13:39. | |
Albion 1-0. David Ornstein reports. Jose Mourinho continues to insist | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
his Chelsea team are not in the title race. Defeat would edge | :13:43. | :13:52. | |
Norwich closer to relegation. But Chelsea soon took control. First a | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
ball hit the post and in the second half David Luiz hit the crossbar. | :13:58. | :14:05. | |
Robert Snodgrass came through, Gary K Hill with a tackle. Chelsea | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
continued to push for a winner but Chelsea held firm. With the results | :14:11. | :14:18. | |
going their way this weekend, Arsenal secured a place in next | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
season's Champions League without kicking a ball. The feel-good factor | :14:23. | :14:32. | |
continued at the Emirates. West Brom are still not completely safe from | :14:33. | :14:35. | |
relegation but offered little in the way of a response. It took them | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
until the 71st minute to create a clear-cut chance. Arsenal almost | :14:40. | :14:49. | |
double the lead. One goal was denied by the woodwork. But it mattered not | :14:50. | :14:55. | |
as Arsenal's final home match of the season ended in a victory. | :14:56. | :14:57. | |
In the Scottish Premiership, relegated Hearts inflicted | :14:58. | :14:58. | |
Kilmarnock's biggest defeat of season. Hearts won 5-0 at | :14:59. | :15:01. | |
Tynecastle, with Ryan Stevenson scoring a hat-trick. | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
The World Snooker Championship final is underway in Sheffield. Defending | :15:07. | :15:09. | |
champion Ronnie Sullivan is 5-3 up against Mark Selby. O'Sullivan made | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
an explosive start, racing into a 3-0 lead with a century break of | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
102. Selby fought back, but mistakes cost him the eighth frame and | :15:19. | :15:20. | |
O'Sullivan finished the opening session with a 2-frame advantage. | :15:21. | :15:28. | |
Play at the Crucible resumes at seven. | :15:29. | :15:34. | |
That is all the sport, back to you. That is it from | :15:35. | :15:36. |
