:01:41. > :01:42.Hundreds of divers are working around the clock trying to get
:01:43. > :01:47.inside the capsized South Korean ferry to look for survivors. But
:01:48. > :01:50.their efforts have been hampered by strong currents and bad visibility.
:01:51. > :01:53.Nine people have been confirmed dead but nearly 300 - most of them

:02:06. > :02:19.on the nearby South Korean island of Jindo.
:02:20. > :02:22.Darkness fell here a couple of hours ago. Throughout the day, coastguards
:02:23. > :02:28.have been leaving the port. Some of them have been taking families of
:02:29. > :02:34.the missing to visit the site where this ferry sank, 20 kilometres away

:02:45. > :02:49.scene. Teams of divers are still searching for survivors. Families
:02:50. > :02:53.are up out to visit the stricken ferry for the first time. Knowing
:02:54. > :03:01.their sons and daughters were on board, is too much for some. With no
:03:02. > :03:04.answers, frustration is mounting. Some of them lashing out at

:03:11. > :03:17.from 7pm, but they repeated the same things. Nothing was new. The man at

:03:22. > :03:27.deeply ashamed. TRANSLATION: I am really sorry, I am
:03:28. > :03:33.deeply ashamed. I cannot put it into words.
:03:34. > :03:37.The rescuers are battling terrible weather conditions. One coastguard
:03:38. > :03:42.ship is just setting off to where the ferry has sunk. It will take
:03:43. > :03:48.them about an hour and a half to get there and it is carrying specialist
:03:49. > :03:54.diving equipment which will help in the rescue operation. Harrowing
:03:55. > :03:54.accounts at what happened just before it sank are beginning to
:03:55. > :04:02.emerge. Her distraught father wrote back
:04:03. > :04:24.urging her to try and get out. Now in hospital, this six-year-old

:04:28. > :04:33.missing. She does not know. The search continues, but hope is
:04:34. > :04:40.fading. The families know hundreds of teenagers went down with the
:04:41. > :04:44.boat. Despite it being dark, the rescue
:04:45. > :04:50.operation will continue through the night. It is now more than 36 hours
:04:51. > :05:00.after this ferry sank and as time drags on, so that does hope of
:05:01. > :05:04.finding any survivors alive. The boss of the Co-op Group says
:05:05. > :05:06.they've had their most disastrous year in the group's 150-year history
:05:07. > :05:10.after announcing annual losses of ?2.5 billion. Most of the losses are
:05:11. > :05:13.a result of the crisis that engulfed the Co-op's banking arm. The huge
:05:14. > :05:18.losses could mean job losses but the Co-op says that is a last resort.
:05:19. > :05:26.Here's our personal finance correspondent, Simon Gompertz.
:05:27. > :05:34.All the Co-op's embroiled in what it calls its disaster, food, banking,
:05:35. > :05:39.'s, pharmacies. Not just money, credibility, trust and strength have
:05:40. > :05:43.been stripped away. Blame is heaped on a cumbersome structure of
:05:44. > :05:49.members, regions and a board which did not know what it was doing.
:05:50. > :05:55.Right now, the business is in a fragile state where the government
:05:56. > :06:00.-- governance has let us down. That has to change. For anybody who
:06:01. > :06:05.doubts that, what I would say is, look at our results today. The
:06:06. > :06:10.bank, tainted by drugs charges yesterday against its former
:06:11. > :06:15.chairman, has turned into a financial millstone. The overall
:06:16. > :06:21.loss of 2.5 billion pounds reduced is -- reflects reduced food styles,
:06:22. > :06:26.it is mainly from the 2.1 billion so far from the crisis at the bank,
:06:27. > :06:30.plus a hit from Somerfield supermarkets taken over a while ago.
:06:31. > :06:34.The group was built on cooperating and saving money than found itself
:06:35. > :06:40.with bosses who could not work together and lost a fortune. But
:06:41. > :06:45.there is suspicion ethical principles and control by members
:06:46. > :06:48.could be sidelined. I am not convinced there is democracy at the
:06:49. > :06:55.top and the accountability at the top. I think in two or three years'
:06:56. > :07:00.time it will settle down to a board that appoints itself, North Korean
:07:01. > :07:05.almost. I don't want that. That is a worry in the Co-op's Manchester
:07:06. > :07:08.heartland. I think they have lost their way and I think they tried to
:07:09. > :07:15.grow when the it was not the right time. They should get back to their
:07:16. > :07:20.core values. It is an immoral way to run a bank and run services. But
:07:21. > :07:28.there was a warning that jobs could be lost, so a union supports union
:07:29. > :07:32.to save jobs. We think this is the right time for the regional boards,
:07:33. > :07:36.the independent societies to focus on what is needed to secure the
:07:37. > :07:44.future of the Co-op. That is reform at the highest level. This is one of
:07:45. > :07:47.hundreds of convenience cause the Co-op is in the process of opening
:07:48. > :07:53.this year. But behind-the-scenes there is a battle going on for the
:07:54. > :07:55.soul of the Co-op, the new management saying they remain true
:07:56. > :08:02.to the old ideals, but some members worrying those ideals could he
:08:03. > :08:09.jumped. In the meantime, up for sale to raise cash, the Co-op's Farms and
:08:10. > :08:11.its pharmacies. Let's get more on the Co-op losses
:08:12. > :08:17.from our Business Editor Kamal Ahmed.
:08:18. > :08:23.A disastrous year, possible job cuts? What now for the Co-op? Much
:08:24. > :08:30.predict did these losses, but very grim news. Richard Penny Cook, who I
:08:31. > :08:36.spoke to earlier, who is the chief executive, is trying to give an
:08:37. > :08:42.inspirational message. The Co-op is not open fundamentally, it will not
:08:43. > :08:47.become extinct. He is trying to say there is a role for a Co-op style
:08:48. > :08:51.business in the future in Britain. But it has got to reform the way it
:08:52. > :08:56.is run and it needs to cut costs. The issue around costs is going to
:08:57. > :09:04.affect the 90,000 people who work for the Co-op. Richard Penny Cook
:09:05. > :09:10.said to me they could understand inside he, but without cost cuts,
:09:11. > :09:17.they want to put it up to 300 million. Jobs would be the last
:09:18. > :09:20.resort, but they are on the table. Three pro-Russian activists have
:09:21. > :09:22.been killed by Ukrainian forces as they tried to storm a base in
:09:23. > :09:28.Eastern Ukraine. The Russian President Vladimir Putin has said he
:09:29. > :09:30.hopes he won't have to use what he called his "right" to send Russian
:09:31. > :09:32.troops into Ukraine. During a phone-in this morning President
:09:33. > :09:38.Putin denied Russia was involved in the recent protests. But he admitted
:09:39. > :09:41.for the first time that Russian forces had been active in Crimea.
:09:42. > :09:49.Duncan Crawford reports from eastern Ukraine.
:09:50. > :09:54.Night-time clashes. Pro-Russian separatists throwing petrol bombs
:09:55. > :10:03.into a Ukrainian National Guard base. Troops inside fire shots.
:10:04. > :10:05.Around a dozen people are injured, at least one received treatment for
:10:06. > :10:12.a stomach wound. The interior ministry says three people died.
:10:13. > :10:16.They are the first deaths to be acknowledged by the authorities in
:10:17. > :10:24.Kiev since this so-called anti-terrorist operation began.
:10:25. > :10:27.TRANSLATION: the commander of this base is responsible. He did not
:10:28. > :10:32.agree with our attempts to negotiate. He accused us of being
:10:33. > :10:36.terrorists and after, the shooting started.
:10:37. > :10:41.In Kiev, a different version. TRANSLATION: terrorists attempted to
:10:42. > :10:47.storm the base and their aim is to seize weapons and military
:10:48. > :10:50.vehicles. 63 have been arrested. Angry crowds surrounded armoured
:10:51. > :10:58.vehicles yesterday. Here, a woman blocks one. The Ukrainian
:10:59. > :11:03.government's attempts to reassert some control in eastern Ukraine
:11:04. > :11:07.looks to be in tatters. In Moscow today, Russians had the
:11:08. > :11:12.chance to phone resident Putin live on television. He told viewers Kiev
:11:13. > :11:19.was responsible for the chaos in Ukraine.
:11:20. > :11:26.TRANSLATION: they moved tanks against the civilian population. It
:11:27. > :11:31.is another, very serious crime of the current rulers of Ukraine. The
:11:32. > :11:36.diplomatic focus has shifted to Geneva and negotiations between the
:11:37. > :11:43.US, EU, Ukraine and Russia. The US is threatening more sanctions
:11:44. > :11:46.against Russia, which it blames for the rest. Which is something it
:11:47. > :11:53.denies. Hopes of a breakthrough are slim. In done yet is, government
:11:54. > :11:56.buildings remain under control of the protests and they say they are
:11:57. > :12:02.not going anywhere. The leaders in Kiev seem to be in an impossible
:12:03. > :12:06.position, to fight a battle they probably cannot win or to give into
:12:07. > :12:10.Russian demands. Our diplomatic correspondent,
:12:11. > :12:15.Bridget Kendall, is here. President Putin saying this morning
:12:16. > :12:20.he has a right to send Russian troops into Ukraine, how worrying is
:12:21. > :12:25.this? We knew that, he went to the Russian parliament weeks ago to ask
:12:26. > :12:31.for the right to go in to another country across the border. The fact
:12:32. > :12:36.he repeated it today is interesting. All along he has said there needs to
:12:37. > :12:40.be a diplomatic solution to this crisis. But there he is saying, as a
:12:41. > :12:45.last resort if there is no diplomatic crisis, we have troops
:12:46. > :12:49.across the border and I consider that I have the right to send them
:12:50. > :12:54.in. He was using tough language. Again, he thinks the government is
:12:55. > :12:59.illegitimate, and they are staring into the abyss. If this carries on
:13:00. > :13:03.Russia won't recognise the presidential elections which will
:13:04. > :13:05.happen in Ukraine next month. Although he was trying to be
:13:06. > :13:10.statesman-like and reassuring, underneath it all, there was a line
:13:11. > :13:17.of hostility and suspicion towards the West. He said, not only was the
:13:18. > :13:22.Russian troops in Crimea last month, but also one of the reasons
:13:23. > :13:29.Russia felt it had to take over Crimea, not just because it was what
:13:30. > :13:34.the local people wanted, but he thinks NATO would have squeezed them
:13:35. > :13:39.out of the Black Sea. He is trying to sound reasonable but underneath
:13:40. > :13:46.it, steel. They are playing down talks in Geneva of any breakthrough?
:13:47. > :13:51.It cannot be Russia, the US and EU who can reach a deal. It is only the
:13:52. > :13:58.Ukrainians. The government in Kiev has to talk to the people who
:13:59. > :14:02.represent them in the East. Rush wants to see federalisation so they
:14:03. > :14:11.have more control and have closer relations with Russia. It wants
:14:12. > :14:14.guarantees. The best that could be hope for out of these talks in
:14:15. > :14:29.Geneva, is they won't walk away and said there is no point.
:14:30. > :14:31.Our top story this lunchtime: Nearly 300 people, most of them teenagers
:14:32. > :14:38.from the same school are missing after a ferry capsized on the South
:14:39. > :14:42.Korean coast. Still to come on the second day of

:15:11. > :15:13.Now what's really in your lamb takeaway? You may well wonder after
:15:14. > :15:17.researchers decided to take a closer look and found that a third of the
:15:18. > :15:22.lamb takeaways they checked contained a different meat. The
:15:23. > :15:25.Foods Standards Agency found that 43 out of 145 samples contained meat
:15:26. > :15:28.like chicken or beef - with some containing no lamb whatsoever. Some
:15:29. > :15:34.of the meat was even listed as "unidentifiable". More tests are now
:15:35. > :15:42.going to be carried out as Sian Lloyd reports. it is fast,
:15:43. > :15:47.convenient food, but they are under scrutiny. Which? Focused on
:15:48. > :15:51.restaurants in Birmingham and London. It found cases where cheaper
:15:52. > :15:56.meats were sometimes substituted. The Food Standards Agency says its
:15:57. > :16:00.own testing has revealed similar findings. This is about individual
:16:01. > :16:04.businesses doing things that they shouldn't be and this problem is not
:16:05. > :16:08.new. It has been around for some time. We have been continuing to
:16:09. > :16:13.tackle the issue with local authorities and we will do more of
:16:14. > :16:18.that. The Which? Survey tested 60 lamb takeaway meals. 24 also
:16:19. > :16:23.contained beef and chicken. In seven cases, no lamb was found. The
:16:24. > :16:27.consumer watchdog says that people should be able to have trust in the
:16:28. > :16:32.food that they buy, but a year after the horse meat scandal in some cases
:16:33. > :16:39.public confidence in meat is being tested again. With what has recently
:16:40. > :16:43.happened, with the meat scandal is, I am not surprised. If you buy
:16:44. > :16:47.something, you should get what you pay for. People will try to get away
:16:48. > :16:50.with something if they can, if they can sell something else that will go
:16:51. > :16:56.undetected they perhaps will. Regular testing is carried out by
:16:57. > :16:59.councils across the country. In this lab in Birmingham, environmental

:22:20. > :22:23.advances in technology. Basically, those people who are driving
:22:24. > :22:27.uninsured are being identified in a much better way, so they are not on
:22:28. > :22:33.the central database, it shows they are insured, they will face severe
:22:34. > :22:37.ramifications. Since 2010 the number of licences being revoked has
:22:38. > :22:41.dropped 13%. Depending on who you speak to, some say that is because
:22:42. > :22:45.there are fewer cars on the UK's roads. Others suggest that a drop in
:22:46. > :22:49.the number of dedicated traffic police means that enforcement has
:22:50. > :22:52.fallen. Then there is also the theory that perhaps safety messages
:22:53. > :22:59.are finally starting to get through to new drivers. Chris says the
:23:00. > :23:05.experience and inconvenience of having his licence revoked made him
:23:06. > :23:09.the safer driver. Cardiff City's lawyers have asked
:23:10. > :23:13.the Premier League to declare their 3-0 defeat to Crystal Palace earlier
:23:14. > :23:17.this month null and void. The club, facing a relegation battle, says
:23:18. > :23:22.Palace knew their starting line-up at least 24 hours before the game in
:23:23. > :23:26.breach of Premier League rules. I am joined by our sports editor, David
:23:27. > :23:31.Bond. This is the match on the 5th of April. Explain what has happened.
:23:32. > :23:36.That is right, the two teams met in a crucial relegation encounter on
:23:37. > :23:40.April the face. Crystal Palace won the Game 3-0. In the days afterwards
:23:41. > :23:45.allegations began to emerge that Cardiff, the team for that match,
:23:46. > :23:51.their starting 11, had been leaked to Crystal Palace 24 hours at least
:23:52. > :23:55.for the game was played. Now, that is a breach of Premier League
:23:56. > :23:59.rules, which states the two team sheets are exchanged just one hour
:24:00. > :24:03.before kick-off. The Premier League have now been asked to investigate
:24:04. > :24:08.those claims by Crystal Palace. They have lodged -- by Cardiff, excuse
:24:09. > :24:11.me, they have lodged a formal complaint which they are looking
:24:12. > :24:15.into. They are trying to look into whether there is a case to answer.
:24:16. > :24:20.Cardiff are taking it seriously. Is it likely that Cardiff will get
:24:21. > :24:24.their way? The big question is how much does knowing the team really
:24:25. > :24:28.influence the outcome of the match. There is a feeling in football this
:24:29. > :24:31.sort of thing goes on all the time, that officials are always trying to
:24:32. > :24:35.find out the opposing team beforehand and will it have a
:24:36. > :24:39.material impact? Cardiff say that it did affect and did give Crystal
:24:40. > :24:43.Palace in their competitive advantage and they want the match,
:24:44. > :24:46.the result of the match, to be struck out. That could have huge
:24:47. > :24:49.implications for the rest of the season, for the relegation battle.
:24:50. > :24:55.It is a difficult one for the Premier League to have to deal with.
:24:56. > :24:58.On the second day of their Australia to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge
:24:59. > :25:02.have visited the Blue Mountains, and our's drive from Sydney. They met
:25:03. > :25:07.survivors of last October's bushfires, the worst decade.
:25:08. > :25:10.Nicholas Witchell reports from Australia.
:25:11. > :25:15.To be a successful Royal you must be a good listener. People want to tell
:25:16. > :25:18.you their stories. On their first full day in Australia, William and
:25:19. > :25:22.Catherine went to a town in the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney. Last
:25:23. > :25:26.October it was severely damaged by some of the worst bushfires in
:25:27. > :25:30.recent years. Nearly 200 homes were destroyed. William and Catherine
:25:31. > :25:36.talked to some of the people who had lost their homes. Their presence was
:25:37. > :25:40.appreciated. For them to come out, you know, all this way to say hello,
:25:41. > :25:48.to my children and us and say we're sorry this happened to you - it
:25:49. > :25:53.means an awful lot. They were lovely and warm. I got a kiss from Kate.
:25:54. > :25:59.They are going to come back to my house and have a cup of tea when it
:26:00. > :26:02.is rebuilt. They met some of the firefighters who struggled for days
:26:03. > :26:12.to contain the fires and heard their stories. And then something else you
:26:13. > :26:17.encounter a lot. People singing songs in your honour. This time it
:26:18. > :26:23.was the Girl Guides, singing for someone they regarded as a princess.
:26:24. > :26:27.Sightseeing next at a place called Echo Point and one of those moments
:26:28. > :26:33.when a couple try to take in the scenery and enjoy a brief moment of
:26:34. > :26:37.tranquillity. Some hope. Over there, two people watching the view. Over
:26:38. > :26:43.there, countless hundreds of people watching them watching the view. And
:26:44. > :26:48.of course everyone wants their own photo. These days the jackpot is a
:26:49. > :26:52.selfie with one of them. There weren't so many of those today, but
:26:53. > :26:57.for some a patient wait was rewarded with a brief chat. A moment when
:26:58. > :27:00.it's best not to come over all bashful but to keep your head.
:27:01. > :27:12.Talking of which, here is the Prince peering over a cliff. Just as well
:27:13. > :27:16.he kept his. The Queen have carried out her
:27:17. > :27:19.traditional Easter duty of distributing Maundy money, head of
:27:20. > :27:23.the Easter weekend. Joined by the Duke of Edinburgh at Blackburn
:27:24. > :27:26.Cathedral, the Queen distributed coins during the annual service,
:27:27. > :27:33.which dates back more than 800 years. She gave the coins to 88 men
:27:34. > :27:36.and 88 women, one for each of her 88 years.
:27:37. > :27:41.Let's have a look at the weather now and Easter weekend is coming up. It
:27:42. > :27:44.has been gorgeous recently. Will it last?
:27:45. > :27:47.Snow is more likely at Easter than it is at Christmas full stop angrily
:27:48. > :27:51.that particular weather factor has got nothing to do with the forecast
:27:52. > :27:55.for this Easter, though we are going to be getting some rain later in the
:27:56. > :27:59.weekend for some of us, not all. We will look at that in a moment.
:28:00. > :28:02.First, what we have now. If you are making an early getaway for the long
:28:03. > :28:06.weekend there is more cloud streaming south across the UK,
:28:07. > :28:11.compared with recent days. Despite the cloud, a lot of dry weather
:28:12. > :28:14.around. Where you have got sunshine across southern areas it will cloud
:28:15. > :28:18.over this afternoon but where you had the clouds so far today across
:28:19. > :28:23.the north, you will be getting brighter. Lots of contrast. We will
:28:24. > :28:26.take a look at things at 4pm. Sunny skies pushing south across
:28:27. > :28:30.Scotland. The odd shower in the north, where it feels cold in the
:28:31. > :28:32.brisk wind. Northern Ireland and northern England eventually
:28:33. > :28:37.brightening up although there will be a few showers around. For the
:28:38. > :28:40.rest of England and Wales, much cloudier compared to yesterday.
:28:41. > :28:44.Where there is some sunshine hanging on across southern areas of the
:28:45. > :28:49.cloud will increase that at the moment we have reached 18 Celsius in
:28:50. > :28:52.Kent. The odd shower of East Anglia and south-east England for a time
:28:53. > :28:55.this evening. They will push away southwards. The story through the
:28:56. > :28:59.night is just how cold it is going to become under clear skies, with
:29:00. > :29:03.the wind easing. You can see a frosty blue, northern England
:29:04. > :29:09.northwards. Some will be at or below freezing to give a frost as Good
:29:10. > :29:12.Friday begins. Elsewhere, a ground frost developing. For the Easter
:29:13. > :29:15.weekend, lots of fine weather for Friday and Saturday but then change,
:29:16. > :29:21.especially for England and Wales with rain coming in Sunday onwards.
:29:22. > :29:26.This is tomorrow. Good Friday. I have mentioned the Colts start. Lots
:29:27. > :29:30.of sunshine to come. A dry day for most. Across northern areas feeling
:29:31. > :29:33.warmer despite the sunshine in the south it will feel cooler and quite
:29:34. > :29:38.a brisk breeze along the east coast, particularly across East
:29:39. > :29:42.Anglia and the south-east, pegging the temperature back. A chilly start
:29:43. > :29:45.on Saturday. Plenty more fine weather to come. An outside chance
:29:46. > :29:50.of a shower in eastern England. Some rain into the far north-west of
:29:51. > :29:55.Scotland. So far, so good. Until we get to Sunday. Easter Day and this
:29:56. > :29:58.beast comes in. I developing area of low pressure. South-east England
:29:59. > :30:05.looks like getting the rain first on Sunday. A strengthening wind. It
:30:06. > :30:08.will feel colder, a grotty day with heavy rain. Some uncertainty about
:30:09. > :30:13.how far it will get, we will keep you updated. Scotland and Northern
:30:14. > :30:15.Ireland on Sunday, and other dry day. Easter Monday in Northern
:30:16. > :30:20.Ireland and western Scotland, it could stay dry again. Elsewhere,
:30:21. > :30:24.unsettled. A stiff easterly breeze. A lot of cloud and showers on Easter
:30:25. > :30:29.Monday. And east of two halves. Becoming more unsettled as we get
:30:30. > :30:32.towards the end of it and we will keep you updated throughout at the
:30:33. > :30:42.BBC weather online. BBC weather
:30:43. > :30:45.A reminder of our main story. Nearly 300 people, most of them teenagers
:30:46. > :30:49.from the same school, are still missing after a ferry capsized off
:30:50. > :30:53.the South Korean coast, but bad weather is hampering the search for
:30:54. > :30:57.survivors. Nine people have been confirmed dead. The captain is being
:30:58. > :31:00.held by police. There will be plenty more on that throughout the
:31:01. > :31:01.afternoon on the BBC News
