:01:16. > :01:21.Good evening. West African leaders meeting in Paris have promised to
:01:22. > :01:24.wage total war on the Islamist militant group who kidnapped more
:01:25. > :01:30.than 200 girls in Nigeria last month. The Foreign Secretary,
:01:31. > :01:34.William Hague, urged West African nations to develop closer ties if
:01:35. > :01:42.they want to defeat Boko Haram. Christian Fraser reports.
:01:43. > :01:47.The leader of the most populous country in Africa, but how much of
:01:48. > :01:51.the north-east of Nigeria does he control? As the President arrived
:01:52. > :01:56.for the summit this afternoon, Boko Haram was wreaking more havoc in
:01:57. > :02:00.Nigeria and Cameroon. Testimony underlines the Reg -- it underlines
:02:01. > :02:04.the regional nature of the threat. We need those countries to be
:02:05. > :02:08.bringing together information and intelligence so that this is very
:02:09. > :02:13.relevant to finding the school girls, not just to the long-term
:02:14. > :02:18.defeat of Boko Haram. To that end, the five west African nations agreed
:02:19. > :02:22.to co-ordinate their patrols and pool intelligence on the search.
:02:23. > :02:28.Total war, said the President of Chad. That newfound resolve may whab
:02:29. > :02:33.the West is looking for -- may be what the West is looking for. Will
:02:34. > :02:37.it bring the girls home? That's one of the reasons why you see all of us
:02:38. > :02:47.here meeting with the President of France to see how we can work
:02:48. > :02:51.together. In a way, today's summit has already delivered a meaningful
:02:52. > :02:55.result and that's getting Nigeria and Cameroon, the two biggest
:02:56. > :02:59.countries, around the same table to discuss the problem. Politically
:03:00. > :03:02.speaking they don't see eye-to-eye. One French official told us until
:03:03. > :03:06.now Cameroon has been largely ignoring the problem, despite a
:03:07. > :03:10.growing number of attacks within its own borders.
:03:11. > :03:13.This French priest kidnapped in Cameroon and held for two months,
:03:14. > :03:17.says finding the girls won't be easy. In his experience, the
:03:18. > :03:22.fighters move at night and the Nigerians he says aren't up to the
:03:23. > :03:30.task. They are afraid to fight them really on the ground. The traffic
:03:31. > :03:35.came in the evening and there was no plane. And where the families sit
:03:36. > :03:44.and wait no visit yet from the President who says he is committed.
:03:45. > :03:50.Haven't got anybody about this issue. Since one month, nothing has
:03:51. > :03:57.happened. Still the Nigerian Government rules out a prisoner swap
:03:58. > :04:05.but taking them by force is surely not an option.
:04:06. > :04:08.Members of the Co-operative Group have unanimously backed plans to
:04:09. > :04:11.change the way the organisation is run. The decision follows a
:04:12. > :04:14.disastrous year, in which the Co-op reported losses of ?2.5 billion. The
:04:15. > :04:17.shake-up was proposed by the former City Minister, Lord Myners, who
:04:18. > :04:25.welcomed today's vote. Our business correspondent Ben Thompson reports.
:04:26. > :04:29.From across the country they came to Manchester this morning to save a
:04:30. > :04:33.battered business. They left tonight one step closer to just that.
:04:34. > :04:39.Today's vote marks a start of a long and painful process of reform. There
:04:40. > :04:42.is a lot to do. Some of it we can do straightaway, some will take a
:04:43. > :04:47.little more time but there are some that is urgent and we are going to
:04:48. > :04:51.get on with that. But the unanimous vote surprised even the man whose
:04:52. > :04:55.damming report highlighted the need for that massive reform. I think
:04:56. > :04:59.100% vote is extraordinary. I thought the vote would be much
:05:00. > :05:04.closer than this. So I think it's a message there to the board and to
:05:05. > :05:08.the management that they should come together rapidly with a set of
:05:09. > :05:12.proposals. But what exactly has been agreed?
:05:13. > :05:16.There will be new directors with more co-operate experience. Members
:05:17. > :05:20.will have new powers to hold that board to account. And they'll now
:05:21. > :05:24.get a vote each rather than electing officials who vote on their behalf.
:05:25. > :05:28.But what difference will today's vote have on the day-to-day
:05:29. > :05:31.business? One of the biggest independent co-operatives says the
:05:32. > :05:35.challenge is rebuilding trust amongst members. They've got to be
:05:36. > :05:38.sure it's an organisation which reflects their values which they're
:05:39. > :05:44.proud of and I hope that - I am confident that in a few months' time
:05:45. > :05:48.that feeling will reemerge. Whilst today's vote is significant, it
:05:49. > :05:52.isn't binding. The more difficult painful reforms will be addressed at
:05:53. > :05:58.a later date. They're likely to involve job cuts, store closures and
:05:59. > :06:02.difficult decisions about the Co-op's founding values and winning
:06:03. > :06:08.support for those could be much more difficult.
:06:09. > :06:12.India's new Prime Minister-elect, Narendra Modi, has received a hero's
:06:13. > :06:14.welcome in Delhi, the day after a landslide victory by his party in
:06:15. > :06:17.the country's elections. Some Indians, though, are still fearful
:06:18. > :06:22.he will undermine the country's secular traditions because of his
:06:23. > :06:26.Hindu nationalist roots. But Mr Modi has pledged to bring all of India
:06:27. > :06:34.with him. Andrew North reports now from the capital.
:06:35. > :06:38.Narendra Modi, the man set to be India's next Prime Minister riding
:06:39. > :06:42.into Delhi in triumph. The day after he won an election landslide with
:06:43. > :06:47.his promise that good days are coming for India. At his party
:06:48. > :06:57.headquarters he said it was a new era. With your sweat, you have
:06:58. > :07:02.helped our party's symbol bloom again and given new hope. I
:07:03. > :07:06.congratulate you all. His ambitions were clear from an
:07:07. > :07:10.early age when he joined a powerful but controversial Hindu nationalist
:07:11. > :07:15.movement. That's one reason many voters were
:07:16. > :07:21.wary of him. But far more Indians were impressed by his economic
:07:22. > :07:26.record running his home state and his strongman leadership style. He
:07:27. > :07:33.has already proved in his state how a leader can change a state and if
:07:34. > :07:38.you get a good leader who has risen, who has power, who has change he can
:07:39. > :07:46.change a nation also. It will not happen in one day. People given a
:07:47. > :07:53.five-year mandate, it will take time. We are quite optimistic about
:07:54. > :08:01.Narendra Modi and going to change. There is an atmosphere of almost
:08:02. > :08:04.religious fervour. He defined himself as the outsider who kept
:08:05. > :08:09.Delhi at a distance. Now he is coming here on a surge of euphoria
:08:10. > :08:14.and expectations after his stunning election victory. The celebrations
:08:15. > :08:26.continued . He says he wants to take all of
:08:27. > :08:36.India with him, but those who didn't vote for him still want to see more
:08:37. > :08:39.signs he means that. The Turkish authorities have called
:08:40. > :08:43.off the search operation at the Soma mine where 301 miners are now known
:08:44. > :08:46.to have died. There have been fresh clashes in several major cities
:08:47. > :08:48.between police and protesters. The Turkish government and Soma mine
:08:49. > :08:55.officials deny that negligence was the reason for Tuesday's explosion
:08:56. > :08:59.and fire. The authorities in Bosnia and Serbia
:09:00. > :09:02.say at least 25 people have died in flooding caused by the heaviest
:09:03. > :09:06.rainfall in the region in more than a century. Three months' worth of
:09:07. > :09:09.rain has fallen in just three days. Thousands of people have been
:09:10. > :09:11.evacuated from their homes after swollen rivers flooded roads, cut
:09:12. > :09:18.power supplies and caused more than 200 landslides.
:09:19. > :09:21.Scientists in Argentina have discovered a set of bones they
:09:22. > :09:25.believe could belong to the largest type of dinosaur ever to have walked
:09:26. > :09:28.the Earth. The creatures are thought have had long necks and tails and to
:09:29. > :09:39.have weighed around 77 tonnes. Our science correspondent Pallab Ghosh
:09:40. > :09:43.reports. Argentinian researchers made the big
:09:44. > :09:48.he is discovery of their -- biggest discovery of their lives, quite
:09:49. > :09:55.literally. Some of the largest dinosaur bones ever discovered. Here
:09:56. > :10:04.we have the femur, the largest bone, goes from the hip to the knee. Here
:10:05. > :10:09.we have the femur, this is where it attaches to the hip. The bones are
:10:10. > :10:14.incredibly well-preserved. The little bumps on the surface are
:10:15. > :10:20.what's left of the animal's lick aelement -- ligaments and muscles.
:10:21. > :10:23.These creatures are thought to have been the biggest to walk the earth.
:10:24. > :10:28.They're believed to have reached six metres in height and 40 metres in
:10:29. > :10:33.length. They weighed 77 tonnes, that's about the same as ten fully
:10:34. > :10:38.grown elephants. A BBC natural history unit team
:10:39. > :10:43.obtained this exclusive footage just as the bones were up earthed --
:10:44. > :10:50.unearthed. Those bones are the ones supporting all the body weight. We
:10:51. > :10:54.need to get accurate estimate of measurements of these bones in order
:10:55. > :11:00.to estimate how heavy this animal was. We are really trying to see if
:11:01. > :11:07.it was the largest dinosaur ever found. The researchers calculate the
:11:08. > :11:15.size of the dinosaurs by measuring the circumference of the bones. 79.
:11:16. > :11:20.Wow. These animals were the largest of a group that lived 100 million
:11:21. > :11:27.years ago, a time when giant creatures walked the earth.
:11:28. > :11:35.Now after a nail-biting day at Wembley, and with all the rest of
:11:36. > :11:39.the sport, here is Olly Foster. Arsenal's nine-year wait for a
:11:40. > :11:43.trophy is over but they had to come from two goals down at Wembley to
:11:44. > :11:46.beat Hull City and the 133rd FA Cup Final was decided in extra time as
:11:47. > :11:55.the Gunners won 3-2. Here's our sports correspondent Natalie Pirks.
:11:56. > :11:59.One kiss was all it took. Nine years of gloom to lift. Arsene Wenger no
:12:00. > :12:03.longer a specialist in failure but boy were Arsenal were to made for
:12:04. > :12:08.it. Every underdog has their day and Hull's started at lightning speed.
:12:09. > :12:14.James Chester after two minutes. Steve Bruce almost couldn't believe
:12:15. > :12:19.it. Arsene Wenger ditto. It was about to get even better for Hull
:12:20. > :12:27.City. The ecstasy, and the agony of football. Hull City's plan to rattle
:12:28. > :12:32.Arsenal was working beautifully until Cazorla did this. With the
:12:33. > :12:37.clock ticking down, Koscielny was in the right place at the right time.
:12:38. > :12:41.2-2 and extra time loomed. Arsenal have won every game that Aaron
:12:42. > :12:49.Ramsay has scored in this season but this was surely the most precious.
:12:50. > :12:53.Hull had almost upset the odds, but it was Arsene Wenger who triumphed.
:12:54. > :12:58.To score the winner is mind-blowing but I am more pleased for the team
:12:59. > :13:03.and that we have actually won a trophy. The relief at the end was
:13:04. > :13:07.clear as nine years of agony evaporated. Arsene Wenger is yet to
:13:08. > :13:16.sign a new contract but that can wait, there's a victory parade to
:13:17. > :13:19.come first. The Chief Executive of the Premier
:13:20. > :13:23.League, Richard Scudamore, is facing a further call to resign following
:13:24. > :13:25.sexist comments he made in a series of leaked private e-mails. Heather
:13:26. > :13:28.Rabbatts, an independent Football Association board member, says that
:13:29. > :13:31.he should seriously consider his position and that there is growing
:13:32. > :13:34.evidence of a closed culture of sexism. Mr Scudamore has apologised
:13:35. > :13:37.for what he called an error of judgement, after the e-mails were
:13:38. > :13:41.exposed in the Sunday Mirror. FA chairman Greg Dyke told the BBC
:13:42. > :13:49.today it's a matter for the Premier League. The remarks were un
:13:50. > :13:52.unacceptable, but the process has got to be done by the Premier League
:13:53. > :13:55.because he's not an employee of ours. He is an employee of the
:13:56. > :13:59.Premier League. The process has got to be done by the Premier League.
:14:00. > :14:02.But they were pretty horrible remarks that didn't need to be said
:14:03. > :14:10.but they were said in a private e-mail.
:14:11. > :14:14.History's been made in the Scottish Cup final. St Johnstone have their
:14:15. > :14:17.name on the trophy for the first time. They beat Dundee United 2-0 at
:14:18. > :14:19.Celtic Park as Chris McLaughlin's reports.
:14:20. > :14:26.Celtic Park the venue but this was very much a Tayside tussle. A first
:14:27. > :14:32.for St Johnstone, fans came expect expecting a celebration. At the end
:14:33. > :14:35.of a first half full of chances Steven Anderson took his and sent
:14:36. > :14:39.the Saints wild. United came out looking to level, only the woodwork
:14:40. > :14:47.denied them. It looked like two for St Johnstone
:14:48. > :14:54.shortly after but this mar a aDan -- Maradona impression was spotted by
:14:55. > :15:00.the officials. MacLean sealed it. 2-0 and no way back for United.
:15:01. > :15:05.We worked so hard for it. We have had so many semifinal defeats and to
:15:06. > :15:09.win at the first attempt in a final is incredible. And so it's
:15:10. > :15:14.jubilation for these St Johnstone players, they're history-makers and
:15:15. > :15:21.from here it's on to a very big party in Perth.
:15:22. > :15:23.In Rugby Union, this year's Premiership final will be between
:15:24. > :15:26.Northampton and Saracens after Sarries beat Harlequins in their
:15:27. > :15:29.semi-final. They trailed by six points at the break but scored 20
:15:30. > :15:34.unanswered points in the second half - including this Chris Ashton try -
:15:35. > :15:42.to win 31-17. Elsewhere, Leinster reached the Pro12 final after they
:15:43. > :15:46.beat Ulster. That's all the sport. Thank you very much. You can see
:15:47. > :15:48.more on all of today's stories on the BBC news channel. That's all
:15:49. > :16:03.from me, good night. Good evening. If you spent your
:16:04. > :16:13.money on a sunshine mini break this weekend, you might be disappointed
:16:14. > :16:18.to find out that Suffolk was warmer than Ibiza and Crete today. A cool
:16:19. > :16:22.day with cloud across Scotland and Northern Ireland. More rain for
