:00:21. > :00:25.Good afternoon. Northern Ireland's First Minister, Peter Robinson, has
:00:26. > :00:29.accused Sinn Fein of attempting to blackmail the police over the arrest
:00:30. > :00:32.of Gerry Adams. Mr Adams has spent a fourth night in police custody in
:00:33. > :00:37.connection with the murder of Jean McConville in 1972. He denies any
:00:38. > :00:41.involvement in the mother of ten's death. Our correspondent Jon Brain
:00:42. > :00:49.is in Antrim. Jon, what's the latest?
:00:50. > :00:54.Well, Maxine, we've just seen the first sign of activity for quite
:00:55. > :00:58.some time here. Gerry Kelly, a senior Sinn Fein figure, has just
:00:59. > :01:02.gone inside the jail. He is going to try to speak to the investigating
:01:03. > :01:07.officer to find out what exactly is happening, because the longer Gerry
:01:08. > :01:11.Adams is held here, the angrier Sinn Fein are becoming. They of course
:01:12. > :01:15.claim that the arrest is politically motivated, coming just three weeks
:01:16. > :01:19.before the European elections. But there's been a forthright response
:01:20. > :01:22.from First Minister Peter Robinson today, he's accused Sinn Fein of
:01:23. > :01:26.crossing the line with their protests over this, and he's
:01:27. > :01:30.particularly enraged by their hint that they could review their support
:01:31. > :01:36.for policing in Northern Ireland if Mr Adams is charged. That support is
:01:37. > :01:43.a crucial plank of the peace process here. He says that there be a beer
:01:44. > :01:47.is a threat which is despicable, thuggish and an attempt at
:01:48. > :01:51.blackmail. -- behaviour. Detectives can question Gerry Adams until eight
:01:52. > :01:55.o'clock this evening about the murder of Jean McConville, a murder
:01:56. > :01:58.he denies any involvement in, if they want more time, they'll have to
:01:59. > :02:01.go to a court to apply for that. Maxine.
:02:02. > :02:04.The Labour leader, Ed Miliband, says there needs to be an independent
:02:05. > :02:08.assessment of whether a takeover of the British drug company AstraZeneca
:02:09. > :02:13.by its American rival Pfizer is in the country's national interest. He
:02:14. > :02:17.said David Cameron appeared to be cheerleading for the bid. Downing
:02:18. > :02:22.Street says the Government is fighting for British jobs and
:02:23. > :02:28.British science. Our politics correspondent Chris Mason reports.
:02:29. > :02:32.If Pfizer swallows up AstraZeneca, it would be the biggest takeover
:02:33. > :02:38.ever of a UK company by a foreign firm - good news for Britain or not?
:02:39. > :02:42.Labour leader Ed Miliband is worried and has written to David Cameron to
:02:43. > :02:48.argue he needs to take a closer look at the proposed deal. If I was Prime
:02:49. > :02:51.Minister, I'd be bringing in a new public interest test which says that
:02:52. > :02:55.widening the scope of the current public interest test, the largest
:02:56. > :02:59.takeover in British history with all of the implications it has for its
:03:00. > :03:01.assigned space, there's got to be an independent assessment of the
:03:02. > :03:07.implications of this for our national interest. Small test tubes
:03:08. > :03:12.are big business in Britain. AstraZeneca employs nearly 7000
:03:13. > :03:17.people in the UK. Pfizer 2500. The Government says it is talking to
:03:18. > :03:23.both companies about any deal. Far from being a cheerleader, it says it
:03:24. > :03:27.is neutral. We will have tests that will ensure this get-together
:03:28. > :03:31.becomes a great Anglo-American Project or it doesn't happen. The
:03:32. > :03:34.Miliband approach is to be anti-business, anti-jobs and
:03:35. > :03:39.anti-job security that the families in this country want. Here is
:03:40. > :03:44.something you probably never seen before, these two men sharing a
:03:45. > :03:49.sofa. With the next general election a year away, will David Cameron
:03:50. > :03:53.debate with UKIP's Nigel Farage? I don't think he's got any intention
:03:54. > :03:58.of allowing me into any debate. We want general election debates, and
:03:59. > :04:02.frankly I think we need to get David Cameron to the debates. Two people
:04:03. > :04:05.could be Prime Minister after the next election, I want to David
:04:06. > :04:12.Cameron at those debates. If the broadcasters want to invite Nigel,
:04:13. > :04:15.that's fine with me. This was one of the party leader debates before the
:04:16. > :04:19.last general election. Downing Street says it does not want to
:04:20. > :04:23.start negotiating rules for future debates until the autumn. There were
:04:24. > :04:26.new hints that David Cameron is up for it. He knows, after the
:04:27. > :04:31.president last time, wriggling out of debates will be rather tricky.
:04:32. > :04:34.Ukraine's interim Prime Minister has blamed the country's security
:04:35. > :04:37.services for failing to prevent the deaths of more than 40 pro-Russian
:04:38. > :04:42.protesters in the southern port of Odessa on Friday. It comes as
:04:43. > :04:49.tensions remain high in parts of eastern Ukraine. Emily Buchanan
:04:50. > :04:54.reports. Pro-Russian separatists are filled
:04:55. > :04:57.with renewed fury. This is Donetsk, and these are revenge attacks on
:04:58. > :05:02.government buildings after the deaths of over 40 people on Friday.
:05:03. > :05:09.The masked men met little was a stance as they stormed the offices.
:05:10. > :05:14.-- little resistance. Later, the leaders of the self-proclaimed
:05:15. > :05:20.Donetsk people of Calais rally, calling on people to join the
:05:21. > :05:26.insurgency. -- held a rally. This woman says, what happened in Odessa
:05:27. > :05:29.cannot be excused, now I hate our government, I just can't access
:05:30. > :05:34.this. In Odessa itself, people are still in shock, reeling from the
:05:35. > :05:38.blaze which killed mostly pro-Russian separatists. They had
:05:39. > :05:42.come under attack after barricading themselves inside this building.
:05:43. > :05:48.Police had failed to intervene, and the government is blaming them for
:05:49. > :05:53.the tragedy. These security forces are inefficient, and they violated
:05:54. > :06:03.the law. The prosecutor's office has started an investigation, and I
:06:04. > :06:07.believe that the prosecutor needs to investigate everyone. Government
:06:08. > :06:11.forces are now pushing forward with attempts to take control in the
:06:12. > :06:17.east. There have been clashes in Kramatorsk and Sloviansk. In
:06:18. > :06:22.Kramatorsk, after a long stand-off, the army rolled in. They are now
:06:23. > :06:28.thought to have reclaimed the television tower seized by
:06:29. > :06:31.pro-Russian separatists. The centre of Sloviansk looks peaceful, but
:06:32. > :06:35.it's a city under siege as the army fights to take rebel held
:06:36. > :06:38.checkpoints. Residents have been stocking up on supplies while the
:06:39. > :06:47.separatists hunker down behind their defences.
:06:48. > :06:49.The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, has defended the Church of
:06:50. > :06:52.England's role in educating children, insisting Anglican schools
:06:53. > :06:55.are consistently popular. Speaking to the BBC, Archbishop Welby also
:06:56. > :06:58.expressed support for the Prime Minister's view that Britain's
:06:59. > :07:06.underlying values were based on Christianity. This report by
:07:07. > :07:12.religious affairs correspondent Robert Piggot does contain flashing
:07:13. > :07:14.images. Archbishop Welby at St Paul's
:07:15. > :07:19.Cathedral yesterday for a service celebrating women priests leads a
:07:20. > :07:22.church with a declining influence in British society. However, he says
:07:23. > :07:28.it's Christian heritage still influences national life. In recent
:07:29. > :07:32.weeks, David Cameron has spoken repeatedly about the value of
:07:33. > :07:35.Christianity to Britain and said it should be confident in its status as
:07:36. > :07:40.a Christian country. He was criticised last week by 50 leading
:07:41. > :07:44.secularists who accused him of fostering division and sectarianism.
:07:45. > :07:50.Now Archbishop Welby has weighed into the debate on the priming is
:07:51. > :07:56.the's side, saying Christian values underpin Britain's national life. --
:07:57. > :08:00.on the Prime Minister's side. The basic way we look at the nature of
:08:01. > :08:05.the human being, the essential dignity of the human being reflects
:08:06. > :08:09.the values of Jesus Christ. We are a deeply Christian country in that
:08:10. > :08:15.way. Anglican schools educate almost 1 million children in an
:08:16. > :08:19.increasingly secular country. Archbishop Welby I acknowledged that
:08:20. > :08:23.only a minority of people went to church, but insisted that the
:08:24. > :08:27.popularity of church schools told its own story. People seem to choose
:08:28. > :08:31.the schools in large numbers, they are often in some of the poorest
:08:32. > :08:35.parts of the country, and we seek to love and serve people, as we
:08:36. > :08:40.should, through the schools, and we have done for hundreds of years. And
:08:41. > :08:43.I think that's a very good expression of social capital.
:08:44. > :08:48.Archbishop Welby also gave his support to the Church of England's
:08:49. > :08:52.position as the established, or state church. He rejected the
:08:53. > :08:55.suggestion by the Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, that the
:08:56. > :08:58.church would thrive were it not longer in a bid to buy its official
:08:59. > :09:06.role. -- inherited - inhibited.
:09:07. > :09:11.A street in Bristol has been turned into a giant water slide using
:09:12. > :09:14.plastic sheets and hay bales. Thousands of people applied to take
:09:15. > :09:17.part in the event, which is the work of artist Luke Jerram. Andrew
:09:18. > :09:20.Plant's been to take a look. Shooting down one of Bristol's
:09:21. > :09:25.mainstream, it is also one of the steepest in the city. Closed to cars
:09:26. > :09:31.since early this morning and converted into a giant water slide.
:09:32. > :09:36.It is all the idea of one local artist. I suppose I'm interested in
:09:37. > :09:40.getting people to think about the city in a new way. Imagine if they
:09:41. > :09:44.were permanent slides installed as a way of commuting to work, wouldn't
:09:45. > :09:49.it be fun to my the key ingredient is the washing up liquid, they have
:09:50. > :09:54.been adding more to the slide all morning. It was really good, because
:09:55. > :09:59.I am like I went quite fast, and I didn't hit the size or anything. It
:10:00. > :10:05.feels faster than it looks, it is pretty good fun. The first Sunday in
:10:06. > :10:08.every month in Bristol will see the centre closed to traffic, and there
:10:09. > :10:13.are plenty more ideas for more imaginative ways to move around.
:10:14. > :10:17.Andrew Plant, BBC News, in Bristol. You can see more on all of today's
:10:18. > :10:20.stories on the BBC News Channel. The next news on BBC One is at 6:35. Bye
:10:21. > :10:38.for now. It is proving to be a fairly mixed
:10:39. > :10:42.holiday weekend. Sunny for some, damp for others and would keep the
:10:43. > :10:45.variety in the week ahead. There will be a blustery wind at time with
