:00:00. > :00:00.The ceasefire in Eastern Ukraine appears to be holding tonight,

:00:07. > :00:11.despite accusations of breaches on both sides.

:00:12. > :00:16.On the ground it remains tense - even as the Russian and Ukrainian

:00:17. > :00:19.leaders discuss making the ceasefire hold.

:00:20. > :00:26.Every civilian I speak with says they desperately want peace. Every

:00:27. > :00:28.fighter, on either side, says they don't believe the peace can last.

:00:29. > :00:34.In Scotland, referendum campaigning intensifies, as a new poll suggests,

:00:35. > :00:38.for the first time, a majority are in favour of leaving the UK.

:00:39. > :00:41.Five-year-old Ashya King is well enough to travel to Prague

:00:42. > :00:49.for treatment for brain cancer, says the family's lawyer.

:00:50. > :00:54.And a shock defeat at the US Open for Novak Djokovic, as Kei Nishikori

:00:55. > :01:13.becomes the first Asian man to reach a Grand Slam final.

:01:14. > :01:21.Ukrainian forces and pro-Russian rebels have accused each other

:01:22. > :01:25.of breaching a ceasefire in eastern Ukraine, although the situation

:01:26. > :01:31.Ukraine says its leader spoke today to Russia's President,

:01:32. > :01:36.Vladimir Putin, and discussed ways of making the ceasefire hold.

:01:37. > :01:39.On the ground, local people have been taking stock, after recent

:01:40. > :01:42.bitter fighting in flashpoints, such as Donetsk and Mariupol,

:01:43. > :01:46.from where our correspondent, Fergal Keane, reports.

:01:47. > :01:53.The debris of war along the road east of Mariupol, this was a

:01:54. > :02:01.Ukrainian tank caught in ambush by pro-Russian forces. Today the guns

:02:02. > :02:08.are silent. The roads between the opposing forces are empty. We came

:02:09. > :02:12.across these bunkers abandoned by Ukrainian troops. Next, to a

:02:13. > :02:17.children's holiday camp, shattered by shell fire. Luckily the

:02:18. > :02:24.youngsters were evacuated a week ago. The people here were caught in

:02:25. > :02:32.no-man's land. This woman came out of a shelter to find her house

:02:33. > :02:37.destroyed. "I just want peace. What is all this for? To do this to

:02:38. > :02:43.peaceful people, how many years have we lived together? Everything was so

:02:44. > :02:47.good. Why did we come to this? So far the ceasefire is largely

:02:48. > :02:52.holding, though both rebels and government claim there have been

:02:53. > :02:58.violations. Among the fighting men, like these rebel troops, there's no

:02:59. > :03:02.attempt to hide their belief - this is an unfinished war.

:03:03. > :03:05.TRANSLATION: Of course, I will be glad if missiles stop exploding

:03:06. > :03:10.here, but I will be more satisfied when our rebel army reaches the

:03:11. > :03:22.border of Romania. Then there will be an independent state called New

:03:23. > :03:25.Russia. On the Ukrainian side, these men of the ultra-Nationalist

:03:26. > :03:32.battalion were strengthening their defences. New bunkers in expectation

:03:33. > :03:38.of renewed fighting. This man is their leader, a far-right idealist

:03:39. > :03:43.who hates the Russians. TRANSLATION: The whole history of

:03:44. > :03:49.Russian-Ukrainian relations and of this war tells us they won't adhere

:03:50. > :03:56.to the ceasefire an the war will start again. It's a question of five

:03:57. > :03:58.to seven days, no more. The fact that they're building fresh defences

:03:59. > :04:04.here today says something about their level of faith in the

:04:05. > :04:08.durability of the ceasefire. Here in Mariupol, every civilian I speak

:04:09. > :04:12.with says they desperately want peace. But every fighter, on either

:04:13. > :04:18.side, says they don't believe the peace can last. The level of

:04:19. > :04:23.mistrust, the sense that nothing has been settled, is profound.

:04:24. > :04:26.With under two weeks to go before the referendum in Scotland,

:04:27. > :04:29.campaigners for independence say the momentum for

:04:30. > :04:35.Tonight, a poll by YouGov for the Sunday

:04:36. > :04:38.Times suggests a majority of people are in favour of leaving the UK.

:04:39. > :04:42.It's the first time a mainstream poll has put the 'Yes'

:04:43. > :04:46.campaign ahead, although it doesn't include undecided voters.

:04:47. > :04:52.Our Scotland Correspondent, James Cook, reports now from Glasgow.

:04:53. > :05:00.Campaigners for a Yes vote enjoying their moment in the sun, mocking

:05:01. > :05:05.their rivals. For decades, Scottish independence had a minority

:05:06. > :05:09.following, but now, its supporters say they're on a roll, dancing

:05:10. > :05:16.towards victory. The beauty of the Yes campaign is that it has momentum

:05:17. > :05:18.of its own. It's a diverse, grass-roots, community-based

:05:19. > :05:20.campaign. There are different groups in every single sector of society

:05:21. > :05:24.campaigning for a Yes vote. in every single sector of society

:05:25. > :05:29.momentum that is, I think, unstoppable. There is some

:05:30. > :05:33.momentum that is, I think, of momentum. Tonight, a poll for the

:05:34. > :05:37.Sunday Times suggests a Yes vote by the narrowest of margins, 51% to

:05:38. > :05:42.49%, when don't knows are excluded. It's the first serious survey to put

:05:43. > :05:43.the 'Yes' campaign in the lead. This poll has

:05:44. > :05:49.the 'Yes' campaign in the lead. This were just the one poll, perhaps that

:05:50. > :05:54.would be all that it caused. In fact, though, the underlying trend

:05:55. > :05:58.is the same as in other recent surveys - movement towards a Yes

:05:59. > :06:04.vote. But opponents of independence say the game isn't over until the

:06:05. > :06:08.final whistle. Earlier today, they paraded their signings, 18 big names

:06:09. > :06:13.in Scottish football who are supporting a No vote and their

:06:14. > :06:18.player-manager for the day admitted these were nervous moments. We're at

:06:19. > :06:22.the exciting part of the campaign, as they say in footballing terms,

:06:23. > :06:26.it's squeaky bum time. We're enjoying this part. There's 12 days

:06:27. > :06:28.to go. We're going to give it our all to win the arguments about was

:06:29. > :06:31.best for the people of Scotland. all to win the arguments about was

:06:32. > :06:34.With less than two weeks to go, both all to win the arguments about was

:06:35. > :06:37.sides in the campaign can agree on some things at least - the race is

:06:38. > :06:42.tight and the stakes could hardly be higher.

:06:43. > :06:43.James joins us now. James, how seriously are both sides taking this

:06:44. > :06:47.poll? Well, seriously are both sides taking this

:06:48. > :06:51.comments we've just received in the past few minutes from Alistair

:06:52. > :06:55.Darling, the leader of the Better Together campaign, it seems they are

:06:56. > :06:58.taking it pretty seriously. Mr Darling says this poll and other

:06:59. > :07:02.recent polls must serve as a wake-up call to anyone who thought this was

:07:03. > :07:05.a foregone conclusion, urging people to go out and vote no. From the

:07:06. > :07:08.a foregone conclusion, urging people other side, a response from the

:07:09. > :07:12.Deputy First Minister who says this is a breakthrough poll and there is

:07:13. > :07:18.big momentum with yes. She says they're particularly gaining support

:07:19. > :07:23.among women and Labour voters. Talking of Labour voters, former

:07:24. > :07:30.Prime Minister groun has writ -- Gordon Brown has written an article

:07:31. > :07:37.blaming the campaign for the narrowing in the gap of the polls. A

:07:38. > :07:38.senior source says there will be no change of strategy. It's all getting

:07:39. > :07:45.very interesting. Thank you very much.

:07:46. > :07:48.There's been a major disturbance at an immigration centre near Lincoln,

:07:49. > :07:54.Staff at Morton Hall, which holds men waiting to be deported,

:07:55. > :07:57.withdrew from the centre, and extra prison officers were sent.

:07:58. > :07:59.Our correspondent, Judith Moritz, is there now.

:08:00. > :08:07.What's the scene now? Within the last few minutes, the Home Office

:08:08. > :08:12.have confirmed that things here are now under control and back to

:08:13. > :08:16.normal. That means that the disturbance lasted around 12 hours.

:08:17. > :08:20.It started just after breakfast. It escalated quickly to a point where

:08:21. > :08:24.staff here felt they needed to withdraw for their own safety. So,

:08:25. > :08:27.prison officers were brought in from elsewhere, with riot gear, to bring

:08:28. > :08:32.things under control. They were joined by staff from the police and

:08:33. > :08:37.ambulance and Fire Services, who were here on site until a short time

:08:38. > :08:42.ago. We've just heard that things have been resolved safely. But it is

:08:43. > :08:47.also the case that this followed the death a detainee here overnight last

:08:48. > :08:50.night. That is what we think may have prompted this disturbance. The

:08:51. > :08:56.Home Office have said an investigation has been launched.

:08:57. > :08:58.Ashya King, the five-year-old boy suffering from brain cancer,

:09:08. > :09:12.the child to a Czech clinic to receive proton beam therapy.

:09:13. > :09:18.He is the seriously ill little boy who has no idea he's been the focus

:09:19. > :09:25.of an extraordinary week of events. The case of Ashya King has divided

:09:26. > :09:31.medical opinion, being played out in court and has crossed borders. Today

:09:32. > :09:35.in southern Spain, his parents met doctors to finalise his move to the

:09:36. > :09:40.Czech Republic for treatment. He is in perfect conditions to travel, at

:09:41. > :09:46.the moment. He is playing with toys. He is with his parents, with his

:10:32. > :10:35.sit down and make the final approval that he can be transported by

:10:36. > :10:40.aeroplane from Malaga to Czech Republic. For Ashya King's family,

:10:41. > :10:45.this is the treatment they've wanted all along.

:10:46. > :10:48.The government in Sierra Leone is preparing to

:10:49. > :10:52.impose a three-day nationwide lockdown later this month, to stop

:10:53. > :10:59.During that time, people will not be allowed to leave their homes.

:11:00. > :11:04.Sierre Leone is one of the countries worst hit by the deadly disease.

:11:05. > :11:08.The present outbreak in west Africa has claimed more than 2,000 lives.

:11:09. > :11:12.A former French hostage, who was held by Islamist extremists

:11:13. > :11:15.in Syria, claims one of his jailers was a man suspected

:11:21. > :11:23.Mehdi Nemmouche is awaiting trial in Belgium, accused of killing four

:11:42. > :11:46.any other foreign hostages coming from him specifically, but I

:11:50. > :11:52.Kurdish forces, backed by American air power,

:11:53. > :11:55.have recaptured a strategically important mountain in northern Iraq

:11:56. > :12:02.Mount Zartak north-east of the city of Mosul, was taken by IS last

:12:03. > :12:05.month, but since then, the Kurds have been slowly pushing back.

:12:06. > :12:08.From there, our Middle East correspondent,

:12:09. > :12:17.It contains images you may find disturbing.

:12:18. > :12:23.You get here you first have to cross the river. The Peshmerga fighters

:12:24. > :12:30.were in jubilant mood. It's a rugged, dusty climb up the mountain,

:12:31. > :12:33.past isolated villages ah, ban donned by inhabitants, who fled as

:12:34. > :12:38.battles passed this way and that. This is the kind of terrain the

:12:39. > :12:43.Kurds feel at home in. This is their reward for fighting their way to the

:12:44. > :12:48.top, the mountain towers over the whole plain. These villages

:12:49. > :12:52.belonging to Christian and other minorities are still occupied by

:12:53. > :12:57.Islamic State radicals, now at the mercy of Kurdish guns. An extremely

:12:58. > :13:00.strategic position for the Kurds to have taken, absolutely dominating

:13:01. > :13:05.the plain that leads through the haze across to Mosul. But big though

:13:06. > :13:08.that may seem, here, it's a small step, compared with the giant task

:13:09. > :13:13.that lies ahead. The Peshmerga brought in some of their elite

:13:14. > :13:16.fighters for this battle. They acknowledge American air power

:13:17. > :13:19.played a crucial role. TRANSLATION: It was a tough battle,

:13:20. > :13:25.but the American air strikes helped a lot. We could have done it without

:13:26. > :13:30.them, but not right now. The rocky hillside is strewn with the bodies

:13:31. > :13:35.of Islamist fighters still lying sprawled where they fell. It's a big

:13:36. > :13:40.enough victory to bring the president of Kurdistan and his

:13:41. > :13:43.entourage to inspect the scene. The combination of local forces and

:13:44. > :13:47.Western air power carried the day, at least in this small corner of

:13:48. > :13:51.Iraq. There's a long way to go and many complications to be resolved

:13:52. > :13:55.before that process can be extended to the vast other areas in Iraq and

:13:56. > :14:01.Syria, where the Islamists have taken root.

:14:02. > :14:06.With all the sport, here's Katherine Downes at the BBC Sport Centre.

:14:07. > :14:10.We start with news of an upset at the US Open tennis,

:14:11. > :14:14.where the world number one, Novak Djokovic, has been beaten in

:14:15. > :14:18.the semi-finals by the world number 11, Kei Nishikori, from Japan.

:14:19. > :14:21.Nishikori becomes the first Asian man ever to make it to the final

:14:22. > :14:31.Little was expected of Kei Nishikori, under a baking sun and in

:14:32. > :14:35.front of a scorching opponent, surely he would wilt. The theory was

:14:36. > :14:40.his body would be too fragile to handle this. The evidence didn't

:14:41. > :14:44.back that up. It's easy to stay cool when you return as efficiently as

:14:45. > :14:49.this. Novak Djokovic helpless first set to the Japanese man. That was

:14:50. > :14:53.only one set. And Djokovic is the world number one. Capable of

:14:54. > :14:57.manoeuvring matches quickly, he won the second. A familiar story seemed

:14:58. > :15:01.to be unfolding, but then another twist in the plot - Colin Nish broke

:15:02. > :15:04.in the third -- Kei Nishikori broke in the third. This wasn't

:15:05. > :15:09.comfortable, nothing in near 100 degree heat is. In the tie-break he

:15:10. > :15:13.was stronger. By the fourth, it was Djokovic who seemed to crave

:15:14. > :15:19.shelter. The world number 11 was dominated him, his famous resistance

:15:20. > :15:21.battered away. Kei Nishikori was about to become the first Asian man

:15:22. > :15:24.to reach a major about to become the first Asian man

:15:25. > :15:27.tennis' top prospects is becoming one of its top players.

:15:28. > :15:31.Nishikori will play either Roger Federer or Marin Cilic,

:15:32. > :15:36.Lewis Hamilton will start tomorrow's Italian Grand Prix at Monza

:15:37. > :15:45.Hamilton trails Rosberg by 29 points was second fastest.

:15:46. > :15:46.Hamilton trails Rosberg by 29 points in the Drivers' Championship

:15:47. > :15:50.and all eyes will be on the pair, after their collision at the

:15:51. > :16:00.I won't be doing anything silly tomorrow at all. Yeah, I mean, it

:16:01. > :16:02.I won't be doing anything silly might be in his mind, who knows. For

:16:03. > :16:05.me, I'm just going to be doing the same thing as always.

:16:06. > :16:07.In rugby union, the Premiership and the Pro 12

:16:08. > :16:13.All the results but the stand-out game

:16:14. > :16:16.of today was Saracens against Wasps at Twickenham.

:16:17. > :16:19.Last season's runners-up snatched victory in the final minute,

:16:20. > :16:22.as David Strettle crossed the line for his third try of the match.

:16:23. > :16:35.Ben Stokes hit 164 for Durham to help them reach their first Lord's

:16:36. > :16:39.final in seven years. His innings in the one-day cup includes six sixes

:16:40. > :16:41.in the victory over Nottinghamshire. They play Warwickshire in the final.

:16:42. > :16:44.That is all the sport. Back to you. The Andrew Marr programme is

:16:45. > :17:10.on tomorrow morning Good evening. Some of us saw some

:17:11. > :17:16.sunshine earlier today, the best in the south-western squad rant. If --
