:01:47. > :01:53.have attacked police headquarters in a city in eastern Ukraine this
:01:54. > :01:56.morning. They stormed the main police building in Horlivka, in the
:01:57. > :01:58.Donetsk region, ignoring Kiev's deadline to leave occupied
:01:59. > :02:01.government buildings by first thing this morning. Ukraine has accused
:02:02. > :02:04.Russia of infiltrating the country, and has threatened to use force, if
:02:05. > :02:09.the pro-Russian uprisings don't subside. James Reynolds is in the
:02:10. > :02:22.eastern Ukrainian city of Donetsk. Not a very good day for Kiev, it had
:02:23. > :02:28.threatened to move in and kick out those pro-Russian protesters at 9am.
:02:29. > :02:31.But that did not happen. Instead, it was the other way around,
:02:32. > :02:40.pro-Russian protesters carried out a raid of their own.
:02:41. > :02:47.This morning, pro-Russian protesters rated these headquarters in
:02:48. > :02:54.Horlivka. They made their way in, and enjoyed their conquest. The West
:02:55. > :03:02.accuses Moscow organising raids across the East of Ukraine, not far
:03:03. > :03:07.from the Russian border. In the city Sloviansk, pro-Russian activist held
:03:08. > :03:13.the ground they took on Saturday. The authorities in Kiev promised to
:03:14. > :03:17.launch what they described as a large scale anti-terrorist operation
:03:18. > :03:23.against them at 9am. The government deadline came, and went. The
:03:24. > :03:27.protesters did not appear to be particularly worried. They argue for
:03:28. > :03:33.a greater say in how their country is run.
:03:34. > :03:36.TRANSLATION: I would like us to be heard, our government has forgotten
:03:37. > :03:41.about us. When the Western Ukrainians rose up, they were
:03:42. > :03:46.revolutionaries, but we are called aggressors. Why? We want to live how
:03:47. > :03:50.they live. Those protesters are backed by
:03:51. > :03:56.Russia. Its Foreign Minister condemns the threat of force against
:03:57. > :04:01.them. TRANSLATION: It is a very dangerous
:04:02. > :04:03.development and those who are encouraging the current authorities
:04:04. > :04:10.in Kiev to act in this way must be held fully accountable. The
:04:11. > :04:16.authorities in Kiev did not comment on the expiration of the deadline.
:04:17. > :04:23.But the president did suggest a new idea. He told lawmakers that a
:04:24. > :04:26.national referendum might be held alongside presidential elections
:04:27. > :04:33.next month. He suggested that a majority of voters would support a
:04:34. > :04:37.united Ukraine. But that idea is unlikely to win
:04:38. > :04:45.over the pro-Russian protesters crowding outside the police
:04:46. > :04:51.headquarters in Horlivka. The police have come to our site, the man
:04:52. > :04:55.shouts. It is a scene that will worry and anger the government in
:04:56. > :05:00.Kiev. In the last few minutes, we have
:05:01. > :05:10.seen more pictures from Horlivka showing a row of dejected police
:05:11. > :05:11.office -- police officers taking orders from what looks like a
:05:12. > :05:18.Russian colonel. With me is our diplomatic
:05:19. > :05:23.correspondent, Bridget Kendall. This deadline came and went, it is
:05:24. > :05:28.very tense but it does not look like today is a turning point. When this
:05:29. > :05:33.deadline was announced last night by the acting Ukrainian president that
:05:34. > :05:37.there could be a military operation, we all remember there have been
:05:38. > :05:43.deadlines announced before. Last Friday, a deadline for activists
:05:44. > :05:46.holding an intelligence headquarters, that they had to
:05:47. > :05:51.giving weapons and surrender otherwise it would be stormed but
:05:52. > :05:55.that did not happen. We have not seen any military operation by the
:05:56. > :06:00.Kiev government. We can get a sense why. Their rhetoric may be strong
:06:01. > :06:05.but they had to ask themselves, isn't the will among their police
:06:06. > :06:10.forces and military forces to want to fire on fellow Ukrainians, the
:06:11. > :06:14.allegation is these protests are being organised possibly by Russian
:06:15. > :06:20.special forces, but there are civilians among them. It is
:06:21. > :06:25.high-stakes. It is important the acting president this morning gave
:06:26. > :06:29.the beginnings of a concession. Not just presidential elections but a
:06:30. > :06:34.referendum at the end of May. Russia has been pushing week after week for
:06:35. > :06:38.there to be constitutional reform, referendums in the east, to decide
:06:39. > :06:43.on their future. This won't be enough for Russia but it is a sign
:06:44. > :06:47.they would still try to find a political way out. Russia can sit
:06:48. > :06:53.back and say it is nothing to do with us. These are local protests,
:06:54. > :06:58.and accused Kiev of waging war on its people, and accused the West of
:06:59. > :07:03.being behind this. The Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov embellished
:07:04. > :07:07.on the idea the CIA are involved. This is not a conflict just inside
:07:08. > :07:11.the Ukraine which is tense and dangerous, but a widening rift
:07:12. > :07:14.between the East, between Russia and the West.
:07:15. > :07:18.The South African sprinter Oscar Pistorius has been accused in court
:07:19. > :07:20.of "concocting his evidence" about the night he shot his girlfriend
:07:21. > :07:23.Reeva Steenkamp. The prosecutor, Gerri Nel, suggested there was a
:07:24. > :07:29.row, and Miss Steenkamp wanted to leave. Mr Pistorius denies murder.
:07:30. > :07:32.He says he shot at what he thought was an intruder. Our correspondent
:07:33. > :07:39.Andrew Harding is at the courthouse in Pretoria.
:07:40. > :07:45.It has been another difficult morning for Oscar Pistorius, the
:07:46. > :07:49.start of his second week giving evidence. The prosecutor has been
:07:50. > :07:54.focusing on the exact details of what happens in the run-up to the
:07:55. > :08:00.death of Reeva Steenkamp. And immediately afterwards. Looking for
:08:01. > :08:04.inconsistencies, and repeatedly accusing the athlete of tailoring
:08:05. > :08:08.his evidence. Back in court, some well-wishers
:08:09. > :08:14.waiting for Oscar Pistorius. He shrugged aside the balloons, the hug
:08:15. > :08:18.was harder to escape. In court, there was no hint of sympathy for
:08:19. > :08:25.the athlete from Gerrie Nel, the prosecutor. Your version is so
:08:26. > :08:31.improbable that it cannot be reasonably possibly true. The focus
:08:32. > :08:36.again today, the circumstances of Reeva Steenkamp's death, the
:08:37. > :08:38.prosecutor looking for holes in the story, insisting the couple had a
:08:39. > :08:49.row. I am saying and it is the state's
:08:50. > :08:56.case that she wanted to leave, and that you were both awake. That is
:08:57. > :09:01.not correct, that is untrue. And that there was an argument. Then,
:09:02. > :09:05.Oscar Pistorius was asked again about his movement from the bedroom
:09:06. > :09:13.to the bathroom where he says he feared intruders had broken in. I
:09:14. > :09:23.screamed, I said, get out of my house! Get out of my house! But Mr
:09:24. > :09:28.Nel was sceptical, at one point he got a policeman to sit in the toilet
:09:29. > :09:34.cubicle to show where Reeva Steenkamp might have been.
:09:35. > :09:40.You fired at Reeva. The other versions of yours cannot work, you
:09:41. > :09:51.fired at her. Why are you getting emotional now?
:09:52. > :09:55.I did not fire at Reeva! This was a tough day for the athlete
:09:56. > :10:00.who as usual was not shown on court cameras. His evidence was shown to
:10:01. > :10:06.be incomplete and at times inconsistent.
:10:07. > :10:11.The trial has just resumed, Oscar Pistorius, trying to explain he
:10:12. > :10:15.wasn't thinking the moment he pulled the trigger for times. But Gerrie
:10:16. > :10:19.Nel saying, he did not believe that, saying, White at the very
:10:20. > :10:23.least did he not fire a single warning shot in case perhaps there
:10:24. > :10:31.was a child or unarmed Bartlett inside the toilet? Instead, it was
:10:32. > :10:35.his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp -- burglar.

:10:38. > :10:40.showing the key moments from today in court. That's the Oscar Pistorius
:10:41. > :10:43.Trial, tonight at 7.30pm. The former editor of the News Of The
:10:44. > :10:46.World - Andy Coulson has begun giving evidence for the first time
:10:47. > :10:48.at the phone hacking trial. He's defending himself against
:10:49. > :10:51.allegations of conspiracies to hack phones, and pay public officials for
:10:52. > :10:58.stories. Our home affairs correspondent, Tom Symonds, is at
:10:59. > :11:04.the Old Bailey. He began giving evidence a short
:11:05. > :11:08.time ago, what has been saying? He has been giving a description of his
:11:09. > :11:14.early years in journalism, starting on his local paper, with work
:11:15. > :11:18.experience at 16, joining properly at 18.
:11:19. > :11:22.And moving quickly within two years on to joining the tabloid
:11:23. > :11:27.newspapers, one of which he was go on -- to go in and edit. He was
:11:28. > :11:31.asked about the culture of the News Of The World. He said there was a
:11:32. > :11:37.rivalry between features and news desk which he felt was not good for
:11:38. > :11:41.the paper. He was asked about his resignation in 2011 when phone
:11:42. > :11:48.hacking flew up and became public. He said, after that, he went on a
:11:49. > :11:53.weekend away with David Cameron, when he became director of
:11:54. > :11:58.communications. He said that was the last time he spoke to the Prime
:11:59. > :12:02.Minister after resigning as director of communications. He was asked in
:12:03. > :12:09.the last half an hour about the use of private investigators, on illegal
:12:10. > :12:16.news-gathering which this trial is about. He said, while he was at the
:12:17. > :12:21.Sun newspaper, as a showbiz reporter, he said he did not use
:12:22. > :12:25.private investigators at all. He is likely to be in the witness box for
:12:26. > :12:28.a great deal of time, probably up to three weeks, and he will continue
:12:29. > :12:30.giving evidence later this afternoon.
:12:31. > :12:35.Teams searching for the missing Malaysia Airlines plane are to use a
:12:36. > :12:39.robotic submarine for the first time to search the sea floor of the
:12:40. > :12:42.southern Indian Ocean for wreckage. It will try to determine whether
:12:43. > :12:44.signals detected last week by sound-locating equipment were from
:12:45. > :12:47.the plane's black boxes. It's thought the batteries may now have
:12:48. > :12:52.run out. The plane disappeared five weeks ago, with 239 people on board.
:12:53. > :13:01.Rupert Wingfield-Hayes has the latest from Perth.
:13:02. > :13:07.For the last ten days, this small yellow triangle has offered the best
:13:08. > :13:11.hope for finding flight MH370. Today came the announcement that the Pinot
:13:12. > :13:19.locator is coming out of the water. The attempt to detect pings from the
:13:20. > :13:23.black boxes is over. The Australian defence vessel Ocean Shield will
:13:24. > :13:27.cease searching with the towed pinger locator later today, and
:13:28. > :13:34.deploy the autonomous underwater vehicle Bluefin 21, as as soon as
:13:35. > :13:39.possible. The Bluefin 21 is in fact a large
:13:40. > :13:45.yellow torpedo like vehicle. Starting tonight, it will be sent
:13:46. > :13:50.down 4000 metres to the bottom of the Indian Ocean. There, it will fly
:13:51. > :13:55.slowly back and forth, using high-powered Cerner to map the ocean
:13:56. > :13:59.floor below. It travels at barely more than walking pace. No one is
:14:00. > :14:04.now pretending this will be quick, easy.
:14:05. > :14:09.I would caution you against raising hopes at the deployment of the
:14:10. > :14:15.autonomous underwater vehicle will result in the detection of the
:14:16. > :14:21.aircraft wreckage. It may not. However, this is the best lead we
:14:22. > :14:26.have, and it must be pursued vigorously. When they picked up the
:14:27. > :14:30.sound last week, there was a sense of expectation here they were about
:14:31. > :14:34.to find the plane. Then the pings stopped and they have heard nothing
:14:35. > :14:39.for the last six days, so they have no choice but to start the long, the
:14:40. > :14:46.Boreas process of mapping the ocean floor, using sonar. That could take
:14:47. > :14:50.weeks, months or even years. The search for the missing plane did get
:14:51. > :14:55.one small breaks today. Researchers have found an oil slick on the ocean
:14:56. > :15:00.surface, just to the south of where they picked up the pings last week.
:15:01. > :15:03.It may be nothing, but if it turns out to beat aviation fuel, this
:15:04. > :15:05.could be more good evidence they are, at least, searching in the
:15:06. > :15:09.right area. Birmingham City Council is
:15:10. > :15:12.investigating more than 200 separate allegations that a group of hardline
:15:13. > :15:16.Muslims have tried to take over at least 25 schools in the city. The
:15:17. > :15:22.inquiry began when a document - dubbed Operation Trojan Horse - was
:15:23. > :15:31.leaked to the council and the media. Phil Mackie is in Birmingham.
:15:32. > :15:35.Of This is the first time we have heard
:15:36. > :15:38.from the leadership at Birmingham City council about these allegations
:15:39. > :15:43.that have been widely reported over the last couple of weeks. They have
:15:44. > :15:47.announced that a man called Ian Kershaw, a former headteacher, will
:15:48. > :15:50.oversee an investigation that has worried he lasted three months. They
:15:51. > :15:54.have also said that a former Home Office director, Stephen Romer, and
:15:55. > :15:58.four-time run the national anti-radicalisation programme that
:15:59. > :16:01.Mac prevent, will oversee a second review looking at these groups and
:16:02. > :16:04.communities in the city. This Operation Trojan Horse letter does
:16:05. > :16:07.not allege that Muslims were taking over schools in Birmingham 's dog
:16:08. > :16:13.that is to be expected in a city with such a large Muslim population.
:16:14. > :16:17.But it does say that a small clique with hardline views were trying to
:16:18. > :16:21.take over some schools and impose their views on those schools and at

:21:24. > :21:26.facing a large legal bill, despite being acquitted of all charges
:21:27. > :21:29.against him. He says he now intends to campaign to reform the law. Our
:21:30. > :21:35.political correspondent Ross Hawkins reports.
:21:36. > :21:40.When he was cleared last week, he stepped out to face a pack of
:21:41. > :21:45.reporters. Today, he spoke to interviewers won by one about what
:21:46. > :21:48.he called in 11 months of hell. Shell-shocked. I likened it to being
:21:49. > :21:53.hit by an Eddystone about truck every morning, and several times
:21:54. > :21:57.throughout the day. He was paid for the TV appearance, not for radio
:21:58. > :22:00.interviews later, and he did not want to answer every question thrown
:22:01. > :22:04.his way. How angry are you at the way you
:22:05. > :22:08.were treated? But he needs the money. He is an
:22:09. > :22:14.innocent man, left with ?130,000 legal bill. I was a bit shocked that
:22:15. > :22:17.you did not get your money back on acquittal. I thought you always did,
:22:18. > :22:20.but apparently the rules change a few years ago. I don't see why
:22:21. > :22:24.people who are dragged through the courts and then are acquitted of
:22:25. > :22:29.charges have to face financial ruin. Barristers have long
:22:30. > :22:32.campaigned on that issue, and said recent changes have made it harder
:22:33. > :22:38.for some acquitted defendants to get their costs repaid. But Nigel Evans
:22:39. > :22:43.says there is a bigger problem with the Crown Prosecution Service or CPS
:22:44. > :22:47.charging high profile people just in case they are guilty. They Lib Dem
:22:48. > :22:52.came to their defence. I have every sympathy with what Nigel Evans says
:22:53. > :22:57.about the distress caused to him. Justice involves people bringing
:22:58. > :23:01.evidence before the court which is then examined and the judgement is
:23:02. > :23:05.made. That is what happened. Nigel Evans is well liked by many at
:23:06. > :23:10.Westminster, and plenty of MPs are asking whether his case raises
:23:11. > :23:14.questions about innocent defendants who find their finances and
:23:15. > :23:18.reputation is at risk. The government says many defendants
:23:19. > :23:21.still get costs repaid when they are acquitted, and ministers believe the
:23:22. > :23:23.system is just. The organisers of yesterday's London
:23:24. > :23:28.Marathon have offered their condolences to the family of a
:23:29. > :23:33.competitor who has died. The man, who was 42, collapsed after crossing
:23:34. > :23:43.the finish line. 36,000 people took part in the event.
:23:44. > :23:48.Today marks 100 days until the start of the Commonwealth Games in
:23:49. > :23:51.Glasgow. As well as bringing world class athletes to the city,
:23:52. > :23:54.organisers are hoping the Games will leave a lasting legacy for the
:23:55. > :23:57.people of Glasgow, encouraging them to lead healthier and more active
:23:58. > :24:00.lives. Chris McLaughlin is outside Celtic Park, the venue for the
:24:01. > :24:02.opening ceremony, now. Chris. Organisers will be hoping for
:24:03. > :24:09.weather like this in 100 days' time. But where are they in terms of
:24:10. > :24:12.preparation is? 94% of the tickets have been sold. Most of the venues
:24:13. > :24:16.are ready, but what about the long-term legacy 's eye have been
:24:17. > :24:20.asking not what Glasgow can do for the combo of games, but rather what
:24:21. > :24:22.the games can do for Glasgow. The Glasgow skyline is changing.
:24:23. > :24:25.Across the city, crumbling tower blocks are giving way to sports
:24:26. > :24:29.stadiums, ready and waiting for the Commonwealth Games. The organisers
:24:30. > :24:32.hope the games can help get the city healthy, but there are grim
:24:33. > :24:35.reminders that for some here, life is still tough, evidence of social
:24:36. > :24:43.deprivation that has contributed to some alarming health statistics.
:24:44. > :24:47.Only 43% of secondary school kids who were going to leave secondary
:24:48. > :24:52.school in 2005 would make it to their pensionable age in some of the
:24:53. > :24:55.places we studied. Shocking figures that will probably come as no real
:24:56. > :25:01.surprise to the people here in the East End of Glasgow. Just a few
:25:02. > :25:04.streets in that direction is the new, revamped Tollcross swimming
:25:05. > :25:09.centre. Just beyond that is the new athletes' village and Emirates
:25:10. > :25:18.Arena. But can these venues inspire people of this area to get fitter,
:25:19. > :25:22.and ultimately live longer? The Games come with a price tag of over
:25:23. > :25:26.half a billion pounds. But they also come with a long-term sporting and
:25:27. > :25:31.cultural target. Build, regenerate, and a legacy will be left, or so the
:25:32. > :25:36.story goes. The games are not a panacea, but we have tried to make
:25:37. > :25:44.these Games about people. We can make a difference in the lives of
:25:45. > :25:47.ourselves and others. I think there is a real momentum that has been
:25:48. > :25:50.created that I think touches people from different backgrounds. When the
:25:51. > :25:53.celebration of sport is over, attention will turn to the pregames
:25:54. > :26:02.promises, and the sick man of Europe will await evidence of a
:26:03. > :26:06.Commonwealth cure. Now, you may have noticed the
:26:07. > :26:10.demolition of a tower block at the start of my piece. Glasgow 2014 were
:26:11. > :26:14.looking to demolish five more as part of the opening ceremony. Those
:26:15. > :26:20.plans have been cancelled, due to a public protest. They say the games
:26:21. > :26:24.will still start with a bang, just a less controversial one.
:26:25. > :26:27.The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have been visiting the city of
:26:28. > :26:32.Christchurch in New Zealand, to meet the families of people who died
:26:33. > :26:35.there in the earthquake of 2011. The couple also took part in an
:26:36. > :26:40.impromptu cricket match promoting the 2015 World Cup, which will be
:26:41. > :26:44.held in New Zealand and Australia. From Christchurch, here's our Royal
:26:45. > :26:47.correspondent, Nicholas Witchell. He returned to a city which has
:26:48. > :26:51.picked itself up from tragedy, and this time he was accompanied by his
:26:52. > :26:54.wife. William and Catherine spent several hours at Christchurch, the
:26:55. > :27:00.scene three years ago of a major earthquake. William visited
:27:01. > :27:04.Christchurch soon after it happened. He was shown the devastation. It
:27:05. > :27:09.made a deep impression on him. This is Christchurch today. Some parts
:27:10. > :27:14.are still in ruins and are gradually being demolished, but much of the
:27:15. > :27:17.city has already been rebuilt. 185 people were killed in the
:27:18. > :27:20.earthquake. William and Catherine met bereaved families and heard
:27:21. > :27:27.accounts of the day the earthquake struck. In a speech, William paid
:27:28. > :27:30.tribute to the city. What has truck me on this visit, three years on, is
:27:31. > :27:36.the resilience and adaptability of Christchurch. Despite the daunting
:27:37. > :27:37.job ahead of you, life continues with classic Kiwi humour,
:27:38. > :27:47.creativity, innovation and determination. Then a sharp change
:27:48. > :27:51.of mood. Next year, Christchurch will be one of the cities hosting
:27:52. > :27:55.the Cricket World Cup. Good reason, then, to invite these sporting
:27:56. > :28:00.guests to have a quick game. No matter that she was hardly dressed
:28:01. > :28:05.for the occasion. Catherine took to the crease. The bat was grasped, and
:28:06. > :28:09.advice was taken. A batting stance of sorts was adopted. At the
:28:10. > :28:17.bowler's end, William, his first delivery a full toss. The crowd
:28:18. > :28:21.gasped. Catherine wagged her finger. A wide was signalled. She survived
:28:22. > :28:28.three more deliveries, then retired not out. The crowd loved it. Over
:28:29. > :28:31.the past week, William, Kate and not forgetting baby George, certainly
:28:32. > :28:36.appear to have endeared themselves to this country. In coming days, we
:28:37. > :28:43.will see whether they can do the same in Australia. Nicholas
:28:44. > :28:52.Witchell, BBC News, in Christchurch. Now the latest weather. The weather
:28:53. > :28:55.for the weekend is looking mainly dry. We start the week on a sunny
:28:56. > :29:00.note, but the cloud will tend to build during the latter half of the
:29:01. > :29:04.week, but staying mainly dry. Overnight frosts are likely in
:29:05. > :29:08.response, so gardeners might want to take notice. The satellite picture
:29:09. > :29:14.tells the tale nicely. Most of us started with sunny skies and a bit
:29:15. > :29:17.of Fairweather cloud for some. Across south-west England and south
:29:18. > :29:26.of Wales we keep the clear blue skies for the rest of the day. But
:29:27. > :29:29.we will have this strong north-westerly winds blowing down
:29:30. > :29:34.the north sea coast, making it feel a little on the chilly side.
:29:35. > :29:37.Northern Ireland, patchy cloud of living here and a bit of Fairweather
:29:38. > :29:41.cloud for Scotland. There could be a few showers for the Highland 's. But
:29:42. > :29:46.this showers will be light and fleeting. A word to the wise, we do
:29:47. > :29:49.have fairly high levels of UV at the moment, so if you are outside for
:29:50. > :29:54.any length of time during the Easter holidays, it might be worth putting
:29:55. > :29:57.a bit of sun cream on. Tonight, any club which has built up will tend to
:29:58. > :30:04.fade away and we will be left with clear skies. Maybe the odd missed
:30:05. > :30:11.patch. Not desperately cold, but it is a different story in oral areas.
:30:12. > :30:15.With those clear skies, temperatures will fall further -- in oral areas.
:30:16. > :30:18.You could even have a touch of frost setting in. That is something
:30:19. > :30:23.gardeners might want to take note of. On Tuesday morning, high
:30:24. > :30:26.pressure is still in charge, so more sunshine to come. There will be an
:30:27. > :30:30.easterly wind across the southern counties of England, so it will not
:30:31. > :30:38.be as warm, but still plenty of sunshine. Maybe more warmth for
:30:39. > :30:41.Wales and Northern Ireland as well. High pressure is still on the scene
:30:42. > :30:46.as we get towards the middle of the week mobot tending to slip towards
:30:47. > :30:51.Germany. That allows this weather to move in off the Atlantic. That will
:30:52. > :30:55.bring increasing amounts of cloud to Northern Ireland and Scotland on
:30:56. > :31:00.Thursday. Away from that, the story is of a chilly start to the morning,
:31:01. > :31:02.with plenty of sunshine. The wind is coming from the south-east this
:31:03. > :31:07.time, so temperatures are building in London. The front from the north
:31:08. > :31:11.and west will push southwards as we had towards the end of the week,
:31:12. > :31:15.introducing cloudy conditions to most parts of the British Isles, but
:31:16. > :31:19.it should stay mainly dry and bright.
:31:20. > :31:28.Now a reminder of our top story this lunchtime.
:31:29. > :31:32.Pro-Russian supporters ignored Kiev's deadline to leave occupied
:31:33. > :31:35.government buildings. They have stormed police headquarters in yet
:31:36. > :31:39.another city in eastern Ukraine. Foreign Secretary William Hague told
:31:40. > :31:40.it a dangerous escalation of the crisis. That's all from us.
