South Korea's President strongly criticises the captain and crew in | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
the country's ferry disaster. As pictures emerge of the captain | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
receiving treatment after the vessel went down, she says his actions in | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
abandoning ship were tantamount to murder. Russia accuses Ukraine of | :00:16. | :00:21. | |
violating the Geneva accord after at least three people were killed at a | :00:22. | :00:27. | |

Good afternoon. South Korea's President has strongly criticised | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
the captain of the ferry that sank and some of his crew, saying their | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
actions in abandoning ship were tantamount to murder. Park | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
Geun-hye's comments came as four more crew members were arrested | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
following yesterday's release of the last audio conversations with the | :01:23. | :01:24. | |
coastguard before the ferry listed and sank. Divers have now removed 64 | :01:25. | :01:31. | |
bodies from the vessel but 240 people, mainly teenagers, are still | :01:32. | :01:38. | |
missing. Martin Patience has been to the site of the wreck off Jindo | :01:39. | :01:47. | |
Island. Beneath the surface lies at the scene of this national disaster. | :01:48. | :01:54. | |
The Amado boat shows the scale of the recovery operation. They are | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
still battling strong currents but as conditions improve, the operation | :01:59. | :02:06. | |
is likely to speed up. The two buoys there and that marks the exact spot | :02:07. | :02:20. | |
where the ferry sank. Teams of divers and small lifeboats, they are | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
going down into the murky waters to try and recover the bodies from the | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
sunken ferry. Staff say the captain presented himself as an ordinary | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
survivor. As the man responsible for the safety of the ship, he appears | :02:30. | :02:36. | |
to have abandoned his duties. South Korea's president, has now accused | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
the captain and some of his crew of murder. | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
TRANSLATION: The conduct of the captain and some crew members it | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
unfathomable from the viewpoint of common sense. It was like an act of | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
murder that cannot and should not be tolerated. Right after the | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
accident, the captain did not immediately follow the evacuation | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
orders. While tying the passengers to stay where they were, they left | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
the passengers and escaped first. This is legally and ethically | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
something that is unimaginable. Back at the port, parents know strong | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
words won't bring back their children. | :03:17. | :03:24. | |
TRANSLATION: I feel like she is gone but I should be the one who has | :03:25. | :03:31. | |
gone. This is a 100% man-made disaster. If the government acted | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
quicker, all of the children would have been saved. Details about the | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
victim are being posted on this board as they identification process | :03:39. | :03:45. | |
continues. The parents now want their children's bodies back to | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
start their funerals. Russia has accused the Ukrainian government of | :03:52. | :03:53. | |
breaking the terms of an agreement forged in Geneva last week, aimed at | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
resolving the crisis in Ukraine. Sergei Lavrov said authorities had | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
failed to disarm illegal groups despite agreeing to do so. His | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
comments follow a shoot out at a checkpoint over the weekend near the | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
eastern town of Sloviansk. Russia blamed Ukrainian nationalists for | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
the incident in which three people were reportedly killed. Our | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
Correspondent Tom Esslemont is in Moscow. Tom, what's Mr Lavrov been | :04:18. | :04:25. | |
saying this morning? Strong words from the Sergei Lavrov. He has | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
basically accused the Kiev authorities are failing to keep | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
their side of the bargain. In those Geneva talks last Thursday. He has | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
blamed them for failing to rein in groups, radical groups, in the | :04:39. | :04:50. | |
Ukraine, groups like the Right Sector, the Moscow blames for the | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
shoot out yesterday morning in the town of Sloviansk. That attack has | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
undermined what slim prospect there was the Geneva agreement actually | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
turning into anything concrete on the ground. And, more than that, | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
there is a fundamental disagreement in this crisis about who is to blame | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
and which groups should actually pull back in order for the agreement | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
to work out. Moscow says it's the radicals in Kiev, whereas the West | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
and Kiev says it's the masked men in the east, so there is absolute | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
deadlock as this crisis continues. Thanks, Tom. A new register making | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
it clearer who owns and controls companies in the UK will be set up | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
by the Government to help fight fraud, tax evasion and money | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
laundering. The Business Secretary, Vince Cable, says the register, | :05:36. | :05:37. | |
which will be available to the public, aims to target the darker | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
side of capitalism. Our Business Correspondent Joe Lynam has the | :05:41. | :05:49. | |
details. By publishing a register of exactly who the main person is | :05:50. | :05:51. | |
controlling any company registered in the UK it is hoped to remove the | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
Vale of what Vince Cable calls the darker side of capitalism. The 3 | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
million companies in this country, it will be possible to establish who | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
has the controlling interest, who pulls the strings, and we're doing | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
this because although the vast majority of businesses in the UK are | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
completely straight and indeed a very productive, we do get people | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
who are trying to hide, who are engaged in tax evasion, in | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
money-laundering. Financing terrorism. Under the planned new | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
rules, UK bettered companies must publish the name of anyone who has | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
at least a quarter of a company shares or voting rights when | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
releasing company results. If they fail to do so, could be made into a | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
criminal matter and the government wants to also scrap so-called their | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
shares, whoever physically owns them owns the company without needing to | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
register anywhere. But this new thing would apply to trusts who can | :06:47. | :06:54. | |
remain opaque for now. We need complete transparency. We should not | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
allow corporations to be directors of other corporations. Only human | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
beings should be allowed to be directors, only they can be called | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
to account and punished and sent to prison. Whatever the retribution may | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
be. And we should demand complete transparency about all shared | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
ownership. The other concern is these new plans haven't yet got the | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
blessing of Britain's Crown dependencies and overseas | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
dependencies. The Bahamas, Cayman Islands and Channel Islands are | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
consulting the companies that bank there. This matter has cross-party | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
support which will be needed to make it to the statute books but whether | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
that light can now be shone on UK companies before the general | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
election is as OPEC as many of Britain's secretive companies. One | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
of Britain's biggest teaching unions, the NUT, has voted for a day | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
of strike action in its ongoing dispute with Government over pay, | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
pensions and working conditions. Let's speak to our Education | :07:50. | :07:51. | |
Correspondent Reeta Chakrabarti who's at the union's annual | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
conference in Brighton. Reeta, so they've voted for a one-day strike | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
in June. Does that mean it will go ahead? The strikes aren't | :08:00. | :08:08. | |
inevitable. It depends on what happens in talks but you have to say | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
they are looking likely given that this is an ongoing dispute and there | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
has been very little progress so far. It's also the case that any | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
strike which happens could be longer than one day and there's talk of | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
potentially further strikes in the autumn term and beyond. This weekend | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
we've heard a lot of very fiery rhetoric about the Education | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
Secretary Michael Gove who has been compared to a Dalek, a sick joke, so | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
strong words and we have heard the regular chance of going must go. He | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
appears in movable. It does not imply statement today sticking to | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
its guns on policy and saying any further strikes would only distract | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
children and damage the reputation of the profession. Thank you. David | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
Cameron's comments about Christianity and Britain's status as | :08:57. | :08:58. | |
a Christian country have come under attack from a group of more than 50 | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
prominent figures. In a letter to the Daily Telegraph, organised by | :09:04. | :09:05. | |
the British Humanist Association, they accuse the Prime Minister of | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
fostering division in society. I should warn you this report from our | :09:11. | :09:12. | |
Religious Affairs correspondent Robert Pigott contains some flash | :09:13. | :09:20. | |
photography. As Christians celebrated Easter, the | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
most important moment in the church's calendar, David Cameron | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
spoke several times about his own Christian faith. He said | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
Christianity really mattered to him and said Easter was a time to | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
reflect on the countless acts of kindness carried out by those who | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
followed Christ. He said he found moments of peace in his own church | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
in Kensington and said Britain should be confident of its status as | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
a Christian country. But the letter from 50 leading secularists claimed | :09:47. | :09:52. | |
characterising Britain as Christians harmful to society. | :09:53. | :10:07. | |
The idea we were together for the common good, that is not an | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
exclusively Christian idea but shared by all faiths, and of course | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
by people of no faith and in particular by socialists and people | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
have always argued for a society where people work for each other to | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
help each other, to strengthen their communities. Some have seen David | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
Cameron's repeated endorsements of Christianity as being aimed at a | :10:29. | :10:30. | |
Conservative heartland bruised by his support for same-sex marriage. | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
But Downing Street insists that David Cameron has seven many | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
different occasions that Britain is strengthened by being at home to | :10:37. | :10:39. | |
many different faiths but shouldn't be afraid to identify as a Christian | :10:40. | :10:50. | |
country. In a speech to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the King | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
James Bible, Mr Cameron said the Bible had given Britain a set of | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
morals and values that have made the country what it is today. | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
Historically and culturally written has been Christians are many | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
hundreds of years. And I'm glad he is confident and I think it's | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
absolutely right that he can express his confident and the faith he | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
howls. Although the most recent census show us sharp fall in the | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
number of Christians in Britain, 59% identify with the religion. But | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
today's letter is further confirmation that far from taking | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
Christian teaching for granted, many see it as actively harmful. The | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
funeral of Peaches Geldof has taken place this afternoon in Kent. Sir | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
Bob Geldof led the tributes to his daughter at a private service. | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
Mourners gathered at the same church where the funeral of her mother | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
Paula Yates was also held to remember the 25-year-old, who died | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
earlier this month. The cause of her death remains unexplained. The | :11:49. | :11:59. | |
Boston marathon is due to begin shortly amid the tightest security | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
the race has ever seen. During last year's marathon, three people were | :12:03. | :12:04. | |
killed and hundreds of others injured in bomb explosions. Our | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
Correspondent Laura Trevelyan is there. Laura. After the murder and | :12:08. | :12:14. | |
mayhem at the finish line last year, security is very tight and are | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
also an enormous number of people running. 36,000 people are running, | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
9000 more than last year. The organisers want to give the 5000 | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
people who couldn't finish the race because of the bombings last year a | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
chance to take part so it's a very emotional day. There are police | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
everywhere. 3500 officers along the route but that doesn't include | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
undercover officers. Members of the National Guard, cameras everywhere. | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
At the finish line, alone, there are 50 different observation points so | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
the police are trying to make this a family friendly affair as it's | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
always been in Boston but they are trying to strike a balance between | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
tight security and not turning the race into a run through of a | :12:58. | :13:04. | |
militarised zone and the mood is one of resilience and remembrance. Today | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
is the Queen's birthday. She's 88 and will be spending the day at | :13:11. | :13:11. | |
Windsor Castle. There were gun salutes to mark the | :13:12. | :13:23. | |
occasion including at the Tower of London. And in Green Park in central | :13:24. | :13:29. | |
London by the Royal Horse Artillery and there were separate | :13:30. | :13:31. | |
commemorations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. 50 years ago, | :13:32. | :13:39. | |
BBC Two was born. But its launch was a unmitigated disaster. A massive | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
power cut wiped out much of the schedule and many of the programmes | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
had to be run the following day. It's gone on to be the home of some | :13:48. | :13:48. | |
of the most influential programmes. Good evening. This is BBC Two. This | :13:49. | :14:03. | |
is how it all started 50 years ago. Sort of. Because this was, in | :14:04. | :14:12. | |
reality, day two of BBC Two. The problem was, on the real launch | :14:13. | :14:15. | |
night, a power cut meant the only thing anyone saw was this. | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
PHONE RINGS. Excuse me. Hello. Unlike Channel | :14:20. | :14:26. | |
one, there's nobody there. Like the bewildered Gerald Priestland reading | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
the news and then nothing, not even the channel's mascot, a live | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
kangaroo. He was stuck in a lift. Here is a house. Here is a door. The | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
first programme arrived without fanfare the next day. Play School. | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
Hello. I'm Virginia. Hello, I'm Gordon. From the beginning, BBC Two | :14:44. | :14:51. | |
was considered the serious channel. It was also the something completely | :14:52. | :14:54. | |
different channel. The opening night line-up promised this. | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
ANNOUNCER: At 9.35, Russia's top comedian. And at 10.20, Off With A | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
Bang. It was quirky, not too bothered if things overran and it | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
would try anything. ANNOUNCER: In Conversations For | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
Tomorrow, JB Priestley entertains... From philosophy to snooker. From | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
David Attenborough and Jacob Panofsky. Whispering Bob and Jeremy | :15:16. | :15:21. | |
Clarkson. Was that really his hair? It was the beginning of all this. | :15:22. | :15:37. | |
The line-up this evening. Pamela Donald promises viewers... The | :15:38. | :15:46. | |
agenda that first day 50 years ago, they were just glad something had | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
gone out. Well, that's all from us tonight. We've certainly had | :15:51. | :15:52. | |
ourselves a ball here. Can we come again tomorrow night round about | :15:53. | :15:54. | |
7.20? | :15:55. | :15:58. |
