Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
Oscar Pistorius has begun giving evidence at his trial for the murder | 0:01:40 | 0:01:46 | |
of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
He repeated his claim that he'd mistaken her | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
for an intruder when he shot her dead at their home last year. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
He told the court, I was simply trying to protect Reeva. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:57 | |
He also apologised to her family, saying he could not imagine | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
the pain, sorrow and emptiness he had caused them. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:02 | |
Let's cross to Pretoria and our Africa correspondent, | 0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | |
Andrew Harding. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:12 | |
It has been quite a dramatic morning here in court. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:17 | |
The focus finally shifting to Oscar Pistorius himself. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:21 | |
His testimony will be central to the trial. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:28 | |
It may be a disappointment to those following on television, | 0:02:28 | 0:02:30 | |
but only the audio of his testimony is being broadcast. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:32 | |
No video this morning. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
A crucial day for Oscar Pistorius as he arrives in court to begin | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
his defence. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:42 | |
Much hangs on the credibility of his version of what happened | 0:02:42 | 0:02:44 | |
the night he shot Reeva Steenkamp. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:50 | |
May I start off with my evidence by tendering an apology... | 0:02:50 | 0:02:56 | |
The athlete turned to the public gallery where | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
lady-macro's mother was sitting. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:00 | |
I would like to apologise. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:11 | |
There has not been a moment since this tragedy happened that I | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
have not thought about her family. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:18 | |
I wake up every morning and you are the first people I think | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
of, the first people I pray for. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |
I cannot imagine the pain and the sorrow this has caused you | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
and your family. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:31 | |
I was simply trying to protect Reeva. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:36 | |
I can promise that when she went to bed that night, she felt loved. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:43 | |
Oscar Pistorius went on to describe how he had been | 0:03:43 | 0:03:45 | |
affected by her death. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
I have terrible nightmares about things that happened that night. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:59 | |
I wake up and I can smell blood and I wake up to being terrified. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:02 | |
His sister listened in tears. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:13 | |
Oscar Pistorius went on to talk about his childhood, | 0:04:13 | 0:04:15 | |
how he battled disability and his mother's early death. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:20 | |
The trial has his -- has resumed and he is back on the stand. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:32 | |
There will be updated throughout the day on the BBC News Channel plus a | 0:04:32 | 0:04:35 | |
special programme each evening with the key moment of the day at 7:30pm | 0:04:35 | 0:04:42 | |
say two underwater sounds picked up by an Australian ship are consistent | 0:04:42 | 0:04:45 | |
with signals from an aircraft's black box recorders. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:47 | |
Officials say it's the most promising lead they've had | 0:04:47 | 0:04:49 | |
so far, with Malaysia's transport minister saying he was cautiously | 0:04:49 | 0:04:51 | |
hopeful about the findings. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:52 | |
The plane with 239 people on board was flying from | 0:04:52 | 0:04:55 | |
Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on 8th of March when it disappeared. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:58 | |
Richard Galpin has the latest. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:16 | |
The Australian Navy ship the ocean shield has been launching | 0:05:16 | 0:05:18 | |
this high-tech sound detector to try to pick up any underwater signals | 0:05:18 | 0:05:21 | |
from the plane's black-box data recorder. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:39 | |
Price now it has picked up distinctive pings. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:47 | |
This would be consistent with data from the Accord -- with | 0:05:47 | 0:05:49 | |
the recorders. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:56 | |
This is a most promising lead and in the third so far it is probably | 0:05:56 | 0:05:59 | |
the best information we have had -- in the search. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:03 | |
The area they are searching off Western Australia is now well | 0:06:03 | 0:06:05 | |
defined. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:10 | |
The ship the ocean shield is currently | 0:06:10 | 0:06:11 | |
manoeuvring to try to pick up the underwater signal for a third time. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:26 | |
If they gain another acoustic event, that will be the trigger to launch | 0:06:26 | 0:06:29 | |
the autonomous underwater vehicle would be more at Croke -- with | 0:06:29 | 0:06:31 | |
the more accurate sonar. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:32 | |
First, this underwater sound detector must | 0:06:32 | 0:06:33 | |
pick up the signal again. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:39 | |
So that the Australian Navy can pinpoint | 0:06:39 | 0:06:40 | |
where the sound is coming from. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:41 | |
Everyone here is a work time is running out. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:50 | |
The batteries on the plane's black-box recorders | 0:06:50 | 0:06:52 | |
may only last a few more days. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:54 | |
The new developments have been the most promising we have had. | 0:06:54 | 0:07:02 | |
I urge all nations and the international community to unite in | 0:07:02 | 0:07:04 | |
their prayers and not give up hope. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:10 | |
Everyone involved in this long search is still being | 0:07:10 | 0:07:11 | |
very cautious in stock but today there has been more optimism that | 0:07:11 | 0:07:14 | |
the mystery could be resolved. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:16 | |
Let us talk to our transport correspondent. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:19 | |
A significant development this. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:22 | |
What happens now? | 0:07:22 | 0:07:27 | |
I cannot tell you how incredible it would be if they have | 0:07:27 | 0:07:30 | |
stumbled over these signals. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:31 | |
The listening device trickles along at a few miles an hour. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:35 | |
They are searching an area the size of Britain. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:37 | |
They have found no wreckage. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:38 | |
No expert gave them a hope of hearing anything. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:41 | |
Let us hope they have unlocked something. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:44 | |
They will need to find the signal again. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:47 | |
It helps them pinpoint the location. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:53 | |
Then they send the kit down which can map the bottom of the ocean. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:58 | |
It uses sonar and cameras and they can seriously start trying | 0:07:58 | 0:08:01 | |
to find wreckage. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:01 | |
It is a very long slow process. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:04 | |
They rock can look like the wheel of an aircraft. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:08 | |
If they can confirm the signal, they will know roughly where to look. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:13 | |
Incredibly promising lead but they have not found the aircraft yet. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:15 | |
Thank you very much. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:20 | |
Eight-month old Prince George has begun his first overseas visit. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:23 | |
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge landed this morning in New Zealand | 0:08:23 | 0:08:26 | |
with their son on the first day of a three-week tour down under. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:29 | |
The tour began with a traditional Maori welcome. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:31 | |
Our royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell sent this report | 0:08:31 | 0:08:33 | |
from Wellington. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:36 | |
The weather was not at all what people had wanted. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:38 | |
Low cloud and driving rain. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:51 | |
The Royal New Zealand Air Force brought them on the final leg | 0:08:51 | 0:08:54 | |
of their flight from London, the door opened and there with | 0:08:54 | 0:08:56 | |
his parents was the baby so many have been so keen to see. | 0:08:56 | 0:09:01 | |
George, eight and a half months old now, getting a final reassuring | 0:09:01 | 0:09:04 | |
tweak from his mother before emerging for the first high-profile | 0:09:04 | 0:09:06 | |
appearance outside of the UK. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:07 | |
The first time he has been seen properly | 0:09:07 | 0:09:08 | |
since his christening last October. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:13 | |
A blustery first encounter with New Zealand at the start | 0:09:13 | 0:09:15 | |
of a three-week visit to both New Zealand and Australia. | 0:09:15 | 0:09:17 | |
How had he coped with the flight? | 0:09:17 | 0:09:18 | |
Much like any other eight-month-old probably. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:23 | |
He looked composed at the end of it, if rather disinterested | 0:09:23 | 0:09:25 | |
in the line of people there to welcome his mum and dad. | 0:09:25 | 0:09:34 | |
George was taken for a rest supposedly, but from | 0:09:34 | 0:09:36 | |
the look of him, that may not have fitted with his plans for the day. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:40 | |
William and Catherine headed to the Governor | 0:09:40 | 0:09:41 | |
general's residence for the official welcoming to New Zealand. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:52 | |
The Maori ceremony began with spear waving, but before long, | 0:09:52 | 0:09:54 | |
noses were being robbed. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:57 | |
The couple could be King and Queen of New Zealand as things stand. | 0:09:57 | 0:10:15 | |
The serious part is trying to fathom whether New Zealand's and warmth | 0:10:15 | 0:10:17 | |
and enthusiasm towards the family amounts to a wish to retain | 0:10:17 | 0:10:19 | |
the monarchy for the remainder potentially of this century. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:21 | |
The supermarket chain Asda says it's planning to create at least 12,000 | 0:10:21 | 0:10:24 | |
jobs over the next five years. | 0:10:24 | 0:10:26 | |
It's part of the company?s plans to open nearly 200 new outlets. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:29 | |
Let's speak to our chief economics correspondent, Hugh Pym | 0:10:29 | 0:10:34 | |
Asda talk about the potential for 12,000 jobs. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:37 | |
What do they mean by that? | 0:10:37 | 0:10:43 | |
They are saying, we have a plan and we want to | 0:10:43 | 0:10:45 | |
deliver this over five years. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:57 | |
If it goes according to what has been set out in the announcement | 0:10:57 | 0:10:59 | |
today, it will create 12,000 new jobs in parts of the country work | 0:10:59 | 0:11:02 | |
Asda currently isn't represented, quite a lot in the south. | 0:11:02 | 0:11:04 | |
It is not definite. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:04 | |
Why they are doing this is there is a big shake-up going on | 0:11:04 | 0:11:07 | |
in the supermarket world. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:13 | |
Tesco are pulling back from large stores in terms | 0:11:13 | 0:11:15 | |
of new builds, Asda are saying they want to build 40 large stores. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:17 | |
They think there is potential. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:22 | |
Some of the other jobs will be in smaller supermarkets | 0:11:22 | 0:11:24 | |
and also signed him -- also something forecourt stores. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:26 | |
They want to develop more click and collect. | 0:11:26 | 0:11:31 | |
There is a lot of new activity going on in the supermarket sector. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:36 | |
It is part of Asda's plan to catch up in some areas with what | 0:11:36 | 0:11:39 | |
their competitors are doing. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:43 | |
The overall boss has been in the UK today. | 0:11:43 | 0:11:47 | |
He is saying he is confident these plans can be delivered. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:49 | |
The UK is a great place to do business. | 0:11:49 | 0:11:53 | |
David Cameron was pleased to hear that and was with him. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:55 | |
Supermarkets are often creating new jobs. | 0:11:55 | 0:11:58 | |
Other sectors of retailing are taking jobs away. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:03 | |
RBS last week announced plans to close branches for example. | 0:12:03 | 0:12:06 | |
Thank you very much. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:09 | |
The political crisis in Ukraine deepened today when pro-Russian | 0:12:09 | 0:12:13 | |
demonstrators who'd seized government buildings in the eastern | 0:12:13 | 0:12:15 | |
Ukrainian city of Donetsk called for the creation of a people's | 0:12:15 | 0:12:18 | |
republic, independent from Kiev. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:19 | |
The group have also asked Moscow to send in what it called | 0:12:19 | 0:12:22 | |
a peace-keeping force. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:23 | |
Ukraine's interim Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk has accused Russia | 0:12:23 | 0:12:25 | |
of fomenting the unrest. | 0:12:25 | 0:12:27 | |
Here's our world affairs correspondent, Emily Buchanan. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:42 | |
Much more than a protest in the Ukraine in the -- city of Donetsk. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:47 | |
A victory after fierce clashes over the weekend. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:59 | |
They are pushing for a referendum raising ominous parallels with | 0:12:59 | 0:13:02 | |
events in Crimea were a referendum ended up with annexation by Russia. | 0:13:02 | 0:13:04 | |
Armed men have also taken over the security service headquarters | 0:13:04 | 0:13:06 | |
in a city near the Russian border. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:10 | |
Outside, placards read, no to NATO. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:12 | |
Why would I want NATO? | 0:13:12 | 0:13:17 | |
I want to go home and see my family and Russia. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:20 | |
For that, I need a passport to cross the border? | 0:13:20 | 0:13:22 | |
To see my aunt, my sisters, my cousins? | 0:13:22 | 0:13:32 | |
Overnight, there was another violent invasion | 0:13:32 | 0:13:33 | |
of a local government building. | 0:13:33 | 0:13:36 | |
Ukraine is now accusing Russia of sowing and rest. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:40 | |
-- unrest. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:43 | |
TRANSLATION: | 0:13:43 | 0:14:05 | |
It is clear it is the realisation of an anti-Ukrainian anti-Abergavenny | 0:14:05 | 0:14:07 | |
LAN, a plan to destabilise the situation, a plan for foreign | 0:14:07 | 0:14:10 | |
troops to cross the border and sees the territory which we will | 0:14:10 | 0:14:12 | |
not allow -- anti-Abergavenny. | 0:14:12 | 0:14:13 | |
Emily Buchanan. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:16 | |
David Cameron has again been defending his Culture Secretary | 0:14:16 | 0:14:20 | |
Maria Miller as the row over her expenses rumbles on. | 0:14:20 | 0:14:22 | |
He insisted she was doing a good job. | 0:14:22 | 0:14:24 | |
Let's get more from our political correspondent, Carole Walker. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:32 | |
The Prime Minister has had to defend Maria Miller twice in a week, | 0:14:32 | 0:14:34 | |
how much pressure is there? | 0:14:34 | 0:14:37 | |
Clearly another day in the headlines for all of the wrong reasons. | 0:14:37 | 0:14:41 | |
It is not what Maria Miller or Downing Street would want. | 0:14:41 | 0:15:02 | |
A sense of frustration by some Conservative MPs out there | 0:15:02 | 0:15:04 | |
campaigning for European elections, wanting to talk about the economy, | 0:15:04 | 0:15:07 | |
finding instead the spectre of MPs' expenses is what is | 0:15:07 | 0:15:09 | |
on the minds of the people. | 0:15:09 | 0:15:10 | |
The Telegraph today suggested Maria Miller was trying to wriggle | 0:15:10 | 0:15:12 | |
out of paying capital gains tax on her home in Embleton. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:24 | |
They point to the fact that letters were sent out in 2009 from | 0:15:24 | 0:15:26 | |
the Commons authorities seeking an undertaking that she would pay any | 0:15:26 | 0:15:28 | |
capital gains tax due on the house. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:30 | |
She stopped making claims. | 0:15:30 | 0:15:34 | |
Her team say it is wrong and Maria Miller had already stopped | 0:15:34 | 0:15:37 | |
making any claims on the property in Wimbledon. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:41 | |
They also point out the house was sold a couple of months ago. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:49 | |
It has not been assessed for any tax liabilities and if she is asked to | 0:15:49 | 0:15:52 | |
pay any tax on it, she will do so. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:53 | |
For the time being, the Prime Minister is standing. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:58 | |
Behind Maria Miller and she does seem determined to ride it out. | 0:15:58 | 0:16:08 | |
There are questions about whether the system needs to change to stop | 0:16:08 | 0:16:18 | |
No Our top story this lunchtime, Oscar Pistorius has begun giving | 0:16:18 | 0:16:20 | |
evidence at his murder trial. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:25 | |
He has repeated his claim that he thought he was shooting | 0:16:25 | 0:16:27 | |
an instructor -- intruder when he shot his girlfriend dead last year. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:30 | |
And still to come, we look back at the life and career of | 0:16:30 | 0:16:33 | |
the Hollywood great, Mickey Rooney, who's died at the age of 93. | 0:16:33 | 0:16:38 | |

The biggest general election in history has begun in India. | 0:16:56 | 0:16:58 | |
It's so big that even though polling began today, voting won't | 0:16:58 | 0:17:01 | |
actually end until May the 12th. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:03 | |
Over 800 million voters, 100 million more than | 0:17:03 | 0:17:06 | |
in the elections of 2009, are eligible to vote, at 930,000 polling | 0:17:06 | 0:17:14 | |
stations, with a final result due in six weeks, on May 16th. | 0:17:14 | 0:17:17 | |
The election sees the ruling Congress party, | 0:17:17 | 0:17:20 | |
now headed by the latest member of India's influential Nehru-Gandhi | 0:17:20 | 0:17:26 | |
dynasty, Rahul Gandhi, pitted against the Hindu nationalist, BJP. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:29 | |
Let's cross to Jon Sopel, who's in Mumbai. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:37 | |
Matthew, thank you and welcome to Mumbai. | 0:17:37 | 0:17:42 | |
As you say, the world's biggest election | 0:17:42 | 0:17:43 | |
in a very big and noisy country. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:51 | |
We are outside the chakra party terminus, which was the Victorian | 0:17:51 | 0:17:53 | |
terminus in colonial times. | 0:17:53 | 0:18:00 | |
If I wanted to catch a train from their 2-goal to Assam where | 0:18:00 | 0:18:02 | |
voting is taking place, I could do so but it will take me | 0:18:02 | 0:18:05 | |
three and a half days to get there. | 0:18:05 | 0:18:07 | |
It is 1700 miles away. | 0:18:07 | 0:18:08 | |
It gives you an idea of the size of this country. | 0:18:08 | 0:18:10 | |
Our correspondent is there. | 0:18:10 | 0:18:16 | |
They queued up from the early hours of the morning at this polling | 0:18:16 | 0:18:19 | |
station set up in April school. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:21 | |
Women almost outnumbering men. | 0:18:21 | 0:18:23 | |
Standing patiently for hours in 30 degrees heat. | 0:18:23 | 0:18:31 | |
Once inside, a quick identity check. | 0:18:31 | 0:18:35 | |
After which, their fingers are marked with indelible ink to make | 0:18:35 | 0:18:37 | |
sure that no one votes twice. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:40 | |
It has been a solid start on day one of the voting. | 0:18:40 | 0:18:43 | |
A pretty good turnout. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:47 | |
And that is always a sign that the voters want to send | 0:18:47 | 0:18:49 | |
the politicians a strong message. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:52 | |
Assam has not kept pace with the rest of India | 0:18:52 | 0:18:54 | |
when it comes to development. | 0:18:54 | 0:18:57 | |
There is a sense sometimes hear that they have been left out. | 0:18:57 | 0:19:00 | |
A sense of frustration and even of alienation. | 0:19:00 | 0:19:04 | |
This is tea growing country. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:11 | |
The plantations dotting this region were set up by the British | 0:19:11 | 0:19:13 | |
in the 19th century to produce the world-famous Assam tea. | 0:19:13 | 0:19:16 | |
But while the industry has prospered, the tea growers have not. | 0:19:16 | 0:19:19 | |
This is three generations of one family. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:23 | |
Father, son and grandson. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:24 | |
They are all going to vote in these polls. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:27 | |
They lived by the plantation. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:30 | |
Conditions that have seen little improvement over the years. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:35 | |
The tin shacks that serve as their homes offer no protection | 0:19:35 | 0:19:38 | |
against the heat. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:38 | |
There is no electricity or proper health care. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:41 | |
TRANSLATION: | 0:19:41 | 0:19:44 | |
The British worst year and I have been working here since then. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:49 | |
They left and I voted in the first elections | 0:19:49 | 0:19:51 | |
and all the elections since then. | 0:19:51 | 0:19:54 | |
TRANSLATION: | 0:19:54 | 0:19:56 | |
We're not asking for much. | 0:19:56 | 0:20:00 | |
All we want is someone who will help us. | 0:20:00 | 0:20:02 | |
We work so hard but our wages are low. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:04 | |
The tea industry is making a profit but we get no share of those. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:08 | |
TRANSLATION: | 0:20:08 | 0:20:09 | |
I am voting for the first time. | 0:20:09 | 0:20:10 | |
So I really excited. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:14 | |
Our lives here are pathetic. | 0:20:14 | 0:20:15 | |
There is no future for me here. | 0:20:15 | 0:20:21 | |
I'll want to vote for someone who will give me an opportunity to move | 0:20:21 | 0:20:24 | |
out from here and begin a new life. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:26 | |
Now it is decision time for Assam and the rest of India. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:30 | |
Five weeks from now, we will know who they have backed. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:43 | |
So voting goes on until May the 12th and then the | 0:20:43 | 0:20:45 | |
result is declared four days later. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:49 | |
But that may or may just be the beginning | 0:20:49 | 0:20:51 | |
because with horse trading going on to form a coalition government, | 0:20:51 | 0:20:53 | |
it can take weeks after that. | 0:20:53 | 0:20:56 | |
India may be the world's biggest democracy but voters here also | 0:20:56 | 0:20:58 | |
have to be the most patient. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:00 | |
Shrien Dewani, the man accused of arranging the murder of his wife, | 0:21:00 | 0:21:03 | |
Anni, during their honeymoon, is due to to South Africa this evening. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:06 | |
For him, it will be the end of a three year | 0:21:06 | 0:21:09 | |
legal battle against extradition. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:11 | |
For the family of his murdered wife, it's the beginning of a process, | 0:21:11 | 0:21:16 | |
they hope. | 0:21:16 | 0:21:22 | |
That will uncover the truth, about what really happened when | 0:21:22 | 0:21:24 | |
Anni Dewani was shot dead in 2010. | 0:21:24 | 0:21:26 | |
Jon Kay reports. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:27 | |
It was November 2010 when Anni Dewani was shot dead while | 0:21:27 | 0:21:35 | |
on honeymoon in South Africa, apparently the victim | 0:21:35 | 0:21:37 | |
of a carjacking outside Cape Town. | 0:21:37 | 0:21:41 | |
But the South African authorities believe that carjacking was ordered | 0:21:41 | 0:21:44 | |
by her new husband, Shrien Dewani. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:46 | |
The couple, seen here on CCTV just before she was killed. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:51 | |
Prosecutors claim that the 34-year-old businessman wanted | 0:21:51 | 0:21:54 | |
his bride dead and so paid a local taxi driver to organise it. | 0:21:54 | 0:21:58 | |
For more than three years, they have been trying to have him | 0:21:58 | 0:22:01 | |
extradited to face those allegations at the businessman's lawyers say | 0:22:01 | 0:22:04 | |
that he is not well enough. | 0:22:04 | 0:22:05 | |
Instead, he has remained in a mental health unit where he is said to be | 0:22:05 | 0:22:09 | |
suffering from severe post-traumatic stress disorder and depression. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:14 | |
But after a High Court decision last month, it seems his legal fight in | 0:22:14 | 0:22:17 | |
the UK is now over and today he is expected to be taken from Bristol | 0:22:17 | 0:22:21 | |
and then flown to Cape Town. | 0:22:21 | 0:22:24 | |
On arrival there tomorrow, it is understood that he will appear | 0:22:24 | 0:22:28 | |
in court and then on to a high security hospital where he will be | 0:22:28 | 0:22:32 | |
assessed by psychiatrists who will decide if he is fit to stand trial. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:35 | |
Anni Dewani's relatives have described the last three years | 0:22:35 | 0:22:37 | |
as torture and have told the BBC they desperately need answers. | 0:22:37 | 0:22:42 | |
Finally, this case is going to be about Anni. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:46 | |
Up till now, it has been about everything but Anni. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:52 | |
So we are relieved and pleased that this might end this case. | 0:22:52 | 0:22:57 | |
We are getting closer to closure. | 0:22:57 | 0:23:01 | |
Shrien Dewani denies any involvement in his wife's death. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:05 | |
Three local men have already been jailed for their parts | 0:23:05 | 0:23:07 | |
in her murder. | 0:23:07 | 0:23:12 | |
Young and vulnerable victims face an unacceptable ordeal | 0:23:12 | 0:23:15 | |
in courtrooms in England and Wales, according to the former Director | 0:23:15 | 0:23:18 | |
of Public Prosecutions. | 0:23:18 | 0:23:20 | |
Sir Keir Starmer is heading the Labour Party's new | 0:23:20 | 0:23:35 | |
He says it's time to consider changing | 0:23:35 | 0:23:37 | |
the way courts question victims, who can be on the stand | 0:23:37 | 0:23:39 | |
for hours or, in some cases, days. | 0:23:39 | 0:23:41 | |
One of the all time Hollywood greats, Mickey Rooney, | 0:23:41 | 0:23:43 | |
has died at the age of 93. | 0:23:43 | 0:23:45 | |
His career began in Vaudeville, when he was just 18 months old, | 0:23:45 | 0:23:48 | |
but spanned nine decades, during which he starred alongside some | 0:23:48 | 0:23:50 | |
of the greatest names in cinema. | 0:23:50 | 0:23:52 | |
Nick Higham looks back at his life. | 0:23:52 | 0:23:54 | |
# I said good morning # The sun is shining | 0:23:54 | 0:23:56 | |
# Good morning # Hear the birdies sing | 0:23:56 | 0:23:58 | |
# It's great to stay up late | 0:23:58 | 0:24:00 | |
# Good morning, good morning to you. | 0:24:00 | 0:24:02 | |
Mickey Rooney was 19 when he made Babes in Arms with Judy Garland. | 0:24:02 | 0:24:07 | |
She was still learning to be a star. | 0:24:07 | 0:24:09 | |
He was the real thing, a veteran of 120 films. | 0:24:09 | 0:24:14 | |
He was an irrepressible child star, playing Mickey McGuire in one series | 0:24:14 | 0:24:17 | |
He was an irrepressible child star, playing Mickey McGuire in one series | 0:24:17 | 0:24:20 | |
of more than 60 comedy shorts. | 0:24:20 | 0:24:22 | |
Then Andy Hardy, the all-American boy nextdoor. | 0:24:22 | 0:24:26 | |
I couldn't tell you nothing before! | 0:24:26 | 0:24:28 | |
I didn't have no partner in the bank! | 0:24:28 | 0:24:30 | |
I couldn't tell you because I couldn't give my brother up! | 0:24:30 | 0:24:33 | |
He could act as well. | 0:24:33 | 0:24:34 | |
He played opposite Spencer Tracy | 0:24:34 | 0:24:38 | |
Lots of vinegar, I'll grant you. | 0:24:38 | 0:24:40 | |
And he played opposite another child star, Liz Taylor, | 0:24:40 | 0:24:43 | |
in National Velvet. | 0:24:43 | 0:24:45 | |
He's loose! | 0:24:45 | 0:24:47 | |
But he grew up too quickly and his private life was a mess. | 0:24:47 | 0:24:51 | |
He married eight times, the first time to Ava Gardner, | 0:24:51 | 0:24:55 | |
and went broke twice. | 0:24:55 | 0:24:59 | |
The self-styled rubber ball of showbiz, he made endless comebacks, | 0:24:59 | 0:25:01 | |
often in films for children. | 0:25:01 | 0:25:04 | |
Acting, he maintained, wasn't work. | 0:25:04 | 0:25:08 | |
Being in a business where you're so fortunate to just be a gron-up kid | 0:25:08 | 0:25:14 | |
playing make believe and memorising some lines to do before the camera. | 0:25:14 | 0:25:17 | |
That's a walk in the park. | 0:25:17 | 0:25:26 | |
He lived a long life and made over 300 films but never matched | 0:25:26 | 0:25:29 | |
the brilliance and charm of those early films with Judy Garland. | 0:25:29 | 0:25:42 | |
In many way, our modern world is more inter-connected than ever | 0:25:46 | 0:25:49 | |
before, thanks to things like the internet and social media. | 0:25:49 | 0:25:51 | |
But do we really feel closer to the people around us? | 0:25:51 | 0:25:54 | |
The BBC has commissioned research, called 'Who Do We Think We Are', | 0:25:54 | 0:25:57 | |
looking in detail at our own identity | 0:25:57 | 0:26:00 | |
and who we feel most connected to. | 0:26:00 | 0:26:02 | |
Here's our Home Editor, Mark Easton. | 0:26:02 | 0:26:27 | |
With European elections, Scottish independence referendums and | 0:26:27 | 0:26:28 | |
the Commonwealth Games and football World Cup, 4014 is the year when | 0:26:28 | 0:26:31 | |
our relationship with each other and the wider world will be tested. | 0:26:31 | 0:26:33 | |
I am in Northern Irish. | 0:26:33 | 0:26:34 | |
I am Welsh. | 0:26:34 | 0:26:35 | |
I am British, not English. | 0:26:35 | 0:26:45 | |
I am British, not English. | 0:26:45 | 0:26:51 | |
In a major face-to-face survey for the BBC, we asked people across | 0:26:51 | 0:26:53 | |
the UK if they feel more less connected than decade ago with other | 0:26:53 | 0:26:56 | |
people in their neighbourhoods, country and the wider world. | 0:26:56 | 0:27:00 | |
6% more said that their connection with people in | 0:27:00 | 0:27:02 | |
their neighbourhoods was stronger, rather than weaker with the wider | 0:27:02 | 0:27:04 | |
world the difference was 11%. | 0:27:04 | 0:27:05 | |
But ask about the connection with people | 0:27:05 | 0:27:06 | |
in their country, 9% more said it was now weaker than stronger. | 0:27:06 | 0:27:11 | |
Our sense of connectivity seems to be more local and international | 0:27:11 | 0:27:13 | |
at the same time. | 0:27:13 | 0:27:17 | |
Perhaps people living 100 miles away in your own country are | 0:27:17 | 0:27:19 | |
just somehow less interesting. | 0:27:19 | 0:27:25 | |
These doctors in Manchester are baking for a local cake sale. | 0:27:25 | 0:27:28 | |
Raising funds for Syrian refugees. | 0:27:28 | 0:27:29 | |
I think it is worth it. | 0:27:29 | 0:27:37 | |
I feel locally connected to the community, especially as a doctor. | 0:27:37 | 0:27:39 | |
I'm working with a lot of people in the community. | 0:27:39 | 0:27:48 | |
You are also then having an international perspective, through | 0:27:48 | 0:27:49 | |
the contact with the outside world. | 0:27:49 | 0:27:53 | |
Our survey tried to unpick our relationship with the wider world. | 0:27:53 | 0:27:59 | |
We asked people to look beyond our shores. | 0:27:59 | 0:28:03 | |
The outlook and values of which country outside of the United | 0:28:03 | 0:28:05 | |
Kingdom is closest to their own. | 0:28:05 | 0:28:11 | |
In all of the countries in the world, | 0:28:11 | 0:28:12 | |
four lead the way when it comes to their outlook matching our own. | 0:28:12 | 0:28:15 | |
Tied for first place with 9%, Australia and the United States. | 0:28:15 | 0:28:18 | |
Third equal with Germany and France. | 0:28:18 | 0:28:27 | |
By the end of the year, the people of the United Kingdom | 0:28:27 | 0:28:30 | |
must reflect on these relationships and consider the question. | 0:28:30 | 0:28:32 | |
Who do we think we are? | 0:28:32 | 0:28:34 | |
Time to consider what the weather is doing. | 0:28:34 | 0:28:46 | |
Plenty of opportunity today to get rained on. | 0:28:46 | 0:28:48 | |
Some of that will be on the heavy side. | 0:28:48 | 0:28:51 | |
Some of that will be on the heavy side. | 0:28:51 | 0:28:53 | |
Some hail and thunder in the next, onto the evening. | 0:28:53 | 0:28:56 | |
We can see the UK is buried under a cloud. | 0:28:56 | 0:29:00 | |
Something clear out West, heading our way for tonight | 0:29:00 | 0:29:02 | |
and into tomorrow. | 0:29:02 | 0:29:06 | |
In fact, that greater regime is coming across Northern Ireland | 0:29:06 | 0:29:08 | |
through this afternoon. | 0:29:08 | 0:29:10 | |
Ahead of it, blustery wind. | 0:29:10 | 0:29:12 | |
A second band of rain moving eastwards across us. | 0:29:12 | 0:29:21 | |
Some of that could be heavy and thundery, from parts of Yorkshire | 0:29:21 | 0:29:23 | |
down through the East Midlands and on words into East Anglia. | 0:29:23 | 0:29:26 | |
This is five o'clock. | 0:29:26 | 0:29:27 | |
Some wet weather around to the West. | 0:29:27 | 0:29:30 | |
Behind that, things clearing up nicely. | 0:29:30 | 0:29:34 | |
The wind is switching to the West, ringing in clear skies. | 0:29:34 | 0:29:38 | |
-- bringing in. | 0:29:38 | 0:29:42 | |
A bit of an edge to the wind. | 0:29:42 | 0:29:47 | |
Across Northern Ireland, some heavy showers going into this evening. | 0:29:47 | 0:29:58 | |
Generally, the best of the weather... | 0:29:58 | 0:30:05 | |
Overnight, southeasterly parks, we will keep a brisk breeze going. | 0:30:05 | 0:30:09 | |
Some long, clear spells going. | 0:30:09 | 0:30:16 | |
It will feel colder than it did last night for many | 0:30:16 | 0:30:19 | |
of us with temperatures well down into the single figures. | 0:30:19 | 0:30:21 | |
A touch of frost not completely out of the | 0:30:21 | 0:30:23 | |
question but it will be a struggle. | 0:30:23 | 0:30:24 | |
What about tomorrow? | 0:30:24 | 0:30:25 | |
Still plenty of isobars on the chart. | 0:30:25 | 0:30:26 | |
A breezy day. | 0:30:26 | 0:30:30 | |
That will tend to kill off the showers through the day. | 0:30:30 | 0:30:34 | |
North-western areas prone to one or two. | 0:30:34 | 0:30:39 | |
Across Northern Ireland, they will run through quickly. | 0:30:39 | 0:30:45 | |
Sunny spells for most of us that a fresh feel to the date | 0:30:45 | 0:30:47 | |
with a brisk wind blowing in. | 0:30:47 | 0:30:49 | |
Temperatures around about ten or 11. | 0:30:49 | 0:30:50 | |
Actually, that is right for April. | 0:30:50 | 0:30:52 | |
We will see above-average temperatures in both places. | 0:30:52 | 0:30:58 | |
Temperatures picking up again with a stark change of wind direction. | 0:30:58 | 0:31:03 | |
Most of us will be dry with rain across the North West of Scotland. | 0:31:03 | 0:31:07 | |
Even that will fade away as we go through | 0:31:07 | 0:31:08 | |
into the second half of the week was not quieter weather on the way. | 0:31:08 | 0:31:11 | |
into the second half of the week was not quieter weather on the way. | 0:31:11 | 0:31:14 | |
Thanks, Peter. | 0:31:14 | 0:31:14 | |
Just a reminder of our top story. | 0:31:14 | 0:31:17 | |
Oscar Pistorius has begun giving evidence at his murder trial. | 0:31:17 | 0:31:21 | |
He has repeated his claim that he thought he shot an intruder when he | 0:31:21 | 0:31:24 | |
shot dead his girlfriends last year. | 0:31:24 | 0:31:29 | |
You can see continuing coverage of Oscar Pistorius' trial | 0:31:29 | 0:31:30 |
