:00:16. > :00:24.As the members of Pussy Riot are led away to start their two-year

:00:24. > :00:27.sentences, there are demonstrations in cities around the world.

:00:27. > :00:30.A judge described their anti Putin protest in a cathedral as

:00:30. > :00:32.blasphemous hooliganism. The husband of one of the women says

:00:32. > :00:36.free speech is under threat. Effective political protest won't

:00:36. > :00:39.be tolerated in Russia, and it will be brutally questioned.

:00:39. > :00:42.But while the women have attracted celebrity support outside Russia,

:00:43. > :00:45.opinions in their own country are divided.

:00:45. > :00:48.Also on tonight's programme: Police investigate whether Ian

:00:52. > :01:01.Keith Bennett is the only victim of the Moors murderer whose body has

:01:01. > :01:04.not been found despite repeated police searches. Ceasefire.

:01:51. > :01:55.golden girl, the heptathlete Good evening, and welcome to the

:01:55. > :01:58.BBC news at 6.00pm. Three members of a Russian punk band have been

:01:58. > :02:00.sentenced to two years in prison in a case that has attracted

:02:00. > :02:03.international condemnation. The women in the band Pussy Riot were

:02:03. > :02:13.arrested after staging a protest song in Moscow's main cathedral,

:02:13. > :02:13.

:02:13. > :02:15.criticising the church and Vladimir Putin. The judge convicted them for

:02:15. > :02:18.hooliganism and blasphemy. There have been protests in cities around

:02:18. > :02:23.the world against the women's sentences, but in Russia opinion is

:02:23. > :02:29.more divided. Daniel Sandford reports from Moscow.

:02:29. > :02:34.The former world chess champion, Garry Kasparov making a break for

:02:34. > :02:38.freedom before being rearrested and brutally man-handled back into a

:02:38. > :02:42.police van. The scenes outside the Pussy Riot trial in Moscow this

:02:42. > :02:47.evening, as feelings among the opposition ran high.

:02:47. > :02:50.Inside, the three defendants were led into court in handcuffs, which

:02:50. > :02:55.stayed on them throughout today's verdict.

:02:55. > :02:59.Each day the three women have been walked down this staircase One of

:02:59. > :03:02.the most controversial trials in recent Russian history. Their

:03:02. > :03:12.supporters claim that this prosecution was entirely political,

:03:12. > :03:16.

:03:16. > :03:21.driven by the Kremlin and the Their crime was to sing parts of

:03:21. > :03:27.this anti-Vladimir Putin protest song in Moscow's main cathedral. It

:03:27. > :03:30.was an act that offended millions of Russians as the song was laced

:03:30. > :03:36.with bad language and sung in one of the most sacred parts of the

:03:36. > :03:42.church. As the judge gave each of them two

:03:42. > :03:45.years in a harsh Russian penal colony, the women smiled. "That's

:03:45. > :03:52.OK, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova could be seen saying to her co-defendants.

:03:52. > :03:56.Outside, her husband was more angry. It's a big sign that loud, bright

:03:56. > :04:00.and effective political protests won't be tolerated in Russia, and

:04:00. > :04:06.it will be brutally crusheds. People involved in it will be

:04:06. > :04:10.prosecuted and harassed in every possible way. There was defiance in

:04:10. > :04:14.the air as one protestor waved a Pussy Riot flag to their new song,

:04:15. > :04:19.which we could hear inside the court, and even those opposition

:04:20. > :04:24.leaders who didn't approve of the cathedral protest were in despair.

:04:24. > :04:29.TRANSLATION: To all of us, even those who didn't like the Pussy

:04:29. > :04:34.Riot act, and I didn't, it was a blatant destruction of justice. It

:04:34. > :04:38.was an inquisition. From Paris to Washington to London to Brussels,

:04:38. > :04:44.supporters around the world showed their disquiet at the trial, and as

:04:44. > :04:48.one protestor tried to escape the Moscow police by climbing into the

:04:48. > :04:52.Turkish Embassy, the Foreign Office joined an international chorus of

:04:52. > :04:55.condemnation, saying the two-year sentence was disproportionate dot

:04:55. > :05:00.crime. Daniel Sandford joins me now from

:05:00. > :05:04.Moscow. There's growing chorus of international criticism about this

:05:04. > :05:07.sentencing. How bothered is Russia going to be about that? Vladimir

:05:07. > :05:10.Putin is addressing a very specific audience by going about this

:05:10. > :05:16.prosecution in this way, and that's the very conservative Russians who

:05:16. > :05:20.live beyond the suburbs of Moscow, and they were genuinely offended by

:05:20. > :05:24.this act, and also a very useful armoury for him in future elections,

:05:24. > :05:29.which he's going to have several over the next few years in terms of

:05:29. > :05:33.regional elections and governors' elections and so on, and so he's

:05:33. > :05:35.playing to a specific constituency, and whether or not he's bothered by

:05:36. > :05:40.the court of international disapproval is hard to tell, but he

:05:40. > :05:42.is boxing himself into a corner because as he becomes an

:05:42. > :05:45.international pariah, that makes it more difficult for him to do

:05:45. > :05:49.business on the world stage, and I think that's the problem that he's

:05:49. > :05:53.starting to build for himself. He may be playing to a good

:05:53. > :05:56.constituency, but it's causing him problems not just on international

:05:56. > :06:00.stage, but also domestically because more and more people are

:06:00. > :06:08.starting to see him as being not just an effective leader, but also

:06:08. > :06:11.a brutal leader when it comes to dealing with dissent. Thank you.

:06:11. > :06:14.Police are investigating whether the Moors murderer Ian Brady has

:06:14. > :06:16.finally disclosed the burial place of one of his victims. It follows

:06:16. > :06:19.claims by his mental health advocate that he passed her a

:06:19. > :06:21.sealed envelope containing details of the location of 12-year-old

:06:21. > :06:24.Keith Bennett's body. She was arrested yesterday, and her house

:06:24. > :06:27.and Brady's cell were searched. Detectives are now examining a

:06:27. > :06:36.number of documents but concede it could be a "ruse" by Brady. Judith

:06:36. > :06:40.Moritz is on Saddleworth Moor. Certainly, Judith, if this is a

:06:40. > :06:45.ruse, it's a very cruel one. Yes, absolutely, because for years Keith

:06:45. > :06:48.Bennett's family have known that his body is somewhere on this vast

:06:48. > :06:51.moorland. They don't know exactly where, though, and they have had

:06:51. > :06:55.their hopes raised and dashed before. Tonight, his relatives have

:06:55. > :07:02.said that they know that this could be an important new development,

:07:02. > :07:06.but that they don't want to raise their hopes too high at this stage.

:07:06. > :07:10.It's nearly 50 years since 12-year- old Keith Bennett was murdered, and

:07:10. > :07:16.in all that time, his body has never been discovered. His remains

:07:16. > :07:19.are hidden somewhere on Saddleworth Moor, but to the distress of his

:07:19. > :07:23.family, they haven't been found. The one man who could locate Keith

:07:23. > :07:27.is his killer, Ian Brady. He and his accomplice Myra Hindley

:07:27. > :07:32.murdered five children in the 1960s, burying three of them up on the

:07:32. > :07:36.moors. Keith Bennett's body is the only one that's still lost, but now

:07:36. > :07:38.Ian Brady's said to have written a letter from his cell at Ashworth

:07:38. > :07:43.Hospital on Merseyside disclosing the location of the remains. The

:07:43. > :07:47.claim, which is being investigated by police, was made by Jackie

:07:47. > :07:50.Powell, who is Ian Brady's mental health advocate and an exec for of

:07:50. > :07:54.his will. Yesterday she was arrested and her house searched. Ms

:07:54. > :07:59.Powell had previously told a documentary team, "I received a

:07:59. > :08:09.letter and a sealed envelope which said on the front of it, 'To be

:08:09. > :08:18.

:08:18. > :08:23.I encouraged her to hand that envelope over to the police. I

:08:23. > :08:26.think of that time she felt she was in a dilemma between her

:08:26. > :08:32.professional obligations to Ian Brady and the moral obligations to

:08:32. > :08:35.Winnie Johnson. It seemed to me that there really wasn't a dilemma

:08:35. > :08:40.there. I've suffered as much as anybody. Keith Bennett's mother,

:08:40. > :08:44.Winnie Johnson, has said many times that her only wish was to find her

:08:44. > :08:47.son's body. She's now severely ill, and she spoke to me at the end of

:08:48. > :08:51.last year. I mean, he got away with the other ones. They found the

:08:51. > :08:56.others, but they didn't find Keith, and that is the main asset for me.

:08:56. > :09:00.I want him found, and I want him found before anything happens to me.

:09:00. > :09:05.Winnie Johnson has been to the moors herself before. Her

:09:05. > :09:08.supporters have welcomed this new development with some reservations.

:09:08. > :09:12.Roy Rainford is a former detective who once worked on the moors

:09:13. > :09:17.murders case. He says the remains would be hard to find, as the pete

:09:17. > :09:20.moorland has shifted over the years. The only thing that's stayed the

:09:20. > :09:25.same are the rock formations. Everything else has changed and

:09:25. > :09:30.move, so how on earth you can pinpoint something from 1964 to

:09:30. > :09:35.2012 is beyond me. The police are now looking for the letter from

:09:35. > :09:38.documents they've seized, but those who know Brady say it may not even

:09:38. > :09:41.exist and that he has been well known for playing mind games in the

:09:41. > :09:45.past. Well, tonight detectives from

:09:45. > :09:48.Greater Manchester Police have said that they're aware of a claim that

:09:48. > :09:53.this letter may have been passed from Jackie Powell back to Ian

:09:53. > :09:56.Brady, but they haven't yet found it, if it exists. They say that

:09:56. > :10:01.they are in the process of looking through the documents they have,

:10:01. > :10:06.but that there are so many of them, it may be into next week before

:10:06. > :10:08.they have any news. Thank you.

:10:08. > :10:12.Police in South Africa have defended their decision to open

:10:12. > :10:16.fire on a group of striking mine workers yesterday killing 34 of

:10:16. > :10:19.them and injuring 78. The country's chief of police said they'd been

:10:19. > :10:22.forced to use maximum force to defend themselves and claimed the

:10:22. > :10:26.protesters were armed with dangerous weapons. Today there have

:10:26. > :10:31.been more protests outside the Lonmin platinum mine. This

:10:31. > :10:35.correspondent from Andrew Harding contains some graphic images.

:10:35. > :10:39.The crime scene today - this can be a violent country, but democratic

:10:39. > :10:42.South Africa has never experienced anything like this. Here's what

:10:42. > :10:46.happened - an increasingly deadly showdown between striking miners

:10:46. > :10:51.and the police reached a climax yesterday afternoon. The tear gas

:10:51. > :11:01.failed to disperse a crowd armed with clubs and spears. Suddenly the

:11:01. > :11:03.

:11:03. > :11:08.police say they came under gunfire. Look at their response. Three

:11:08. > :11:11.minute later dozens of civilians lay dead or wounded. A policeman

:11:11. > :11:16.picks out a gun, allegedly one that was used to attack them. Trouble

:11:16. > :11:20.had been brewing here for days with a small militant union trying to

:11:20. > :11:25.make a name for itself. More mainstream groups have blamed it

:11:25. > :11:28.for provoking the violence, but did the police handle this

:11:28. > :11:33.appropriately? The militant groups don't want the police firing shots

:11:33. > :11:40.and wielding dangerous weapons. The police retreated systematically and

:11:40. > :11:44.were forced to utilise maximum force to defend themselves.

:11:44. > :11:47.But at the mine today, the wives and mothers of the dead and wounded

:11:47. > :11:55.confronted the police. You're shooting our husbands and

:11:55. > :12:01.our sons! SOBBING

:12:01. > :12:06.You could argue what happened here was a murky union turf war gone

:12:06. > :12:10.spectacularly wrong, but there was a larger point - South Africa's

:12:10. > :12:16.economy is floundering. The poor are losing patience, and the result

:12:16. > :12:20.is more mill tansy, more angry populism, and, almost inevitably,

:12:20. > :12:25.more bloodshed. The platinum mine is owned by a British company.

:12:25. > :12:32.There is fantastic wealth below the ground here, but for many South

:12:32. > :12:36.Africans not much sign of it up top. 20 years nearly after Paraic

:12:36. > :12:43.O'Brien -- apartheid, for you nothing has changed? Nothing,

:12:43. > :12:47.nothing has changed. Democracy is just flying in the skies. There is

:12:47. > :12:57.nothing. There is hope and a chance that the killings here will provoke

:12:57. > :12:58.

:12:58. > :13:00.some meaningful changes, but don't The Department of Education has

:13:00. > :13:02.apologised for publishing inaccurate figures about how many

:13:02. > :13:05.school playing fields have been sold off under the current

:13:05. > :13:07.Government. Today Michael Gove, the Education Secretary, insisted that

:13:07. > :13:10.playing fields were better protected than at any time before.

:13:11. > :13:18.But a member of the panel that advises on the sale of sports

:13:18. > :13:22.fields expressed concern that its judgement was being disregarded.

:13:22. > :13:25.Our political correspondent Ross Hawkins has the story. This is

:13:25. > :13:29.where it so often begins for Olympic champions - the school

:13:29. > :13:32.playing field - no surprise, then, that as the Games ended and David

:13:32. > :13:38.Cameron was asked how many had been sold off under his Government, he

:13:38. > :13:41.had the official figures who hand. In the last two years, 21 school

:13:41. > :13:44.playing fields have been sold. 13 of those, the school in question

:13:44. > :13:48.had closed... But there was a problem. David Cameron's facts

:13:49. > :13:55.provided by the Department of Education were wrong. In fact, 30

:13:55. > :13:57.English school playing fields had been sold since the election, and

:13:57. > :14:02.his Education Secretary Michael Gove is reported to have ignored

:14:02. > :14:06.the advice of the panel when it opposed potential sales on five

:14:06. > :14:09.separate occasions. Good you mislead the public over school

:14:09. > :14:14.playing fields? Absolutely not. did you overrule the committee?

:14:14. > :14:20.Playing fields are better protected now under this Government than at

:14:20. > :14:23.any time. One of those on the committee called the Sport and

:14:23. > :14:27.unRecreation Alliance suggested if this Prime Minister routinely

:14:27. > :14:34.turned his back on the alliance that would be a serious breach of

:14:34. > :14:40.faith. This school in London is one in which it was said land shouldn't

:14:40. > :14:43.be sold only to be overruled by Ministers. It would be nice to have

:14:43. > :14:47.Justin greening here, maybe the Prime Minister too, to look around

:14:47. > :14:50.and see what's being lost. It's decisions about schools like that

:14:50. > :14:53.prove so controversial both in local communities and in national

:14:53. > :14:57.politics. Some of the land being sold off here is used for tennis

:14:57. > :15:00.and for football. The council says there will be new facilities, but

:15:00. > :15:04.this is a school that needs the money from a sale because its

:15:04. > :15:08.buildings are badly in need of repair. We need to know what the

:15:08. > :15:11.agenda is of the Secretary of State and why he's allowing playing

:15:11. > :15:15.fields to be sold off at a rate against expert advice that simply

:15:15. > :15:19.hasn't been happening in recent years. The Government can point out

:15:19. > :15:23.that more than 200 playing fields were sold between 1999 and the end

:15:23. > :15:27.of Labour's time in office. Before that the figures are vaguer. The

:15:27. > :15:31.numbers matter because this is part of a bigger political battle - that

:15:31. > :15:40.school sport and the Olympic legacy that's meant the spaces where

:15:40. > :15:43.children play have become hotly Our top story tonight: Three

:15:43. > :15:45.members of a Russian punk band are imprisoned for two years for

:15:45. > :15:53.hooliganism and blasphemy. Their sentences attract international

:15:53. > :16:03.And Manchester United unveil new signing Robin Van Persie, as the

:16:03. > :16:03.

:16:03. > :16:07.English football season prepares to get under way. Coming up: I'll be

:16:07. > :16:17.here with the sport as England struggled to keep South Africa at

:16:17. > :16:22.

:16:22. > :16:25.She was one of THE faces of Team GB. Jessica Ennis won gold in the

:16:25. > :16:28.women's heptathlon and was watched by millions. Well, this evening,

:16:28. > :16:30.she's returning to her home city of Sheffield, where the crowds have

:16:31. > :16:39.been encouraged to wear something gold to honour her Olympic

:16:39. > :16:45.achievement. Chris Buckler is in Sheffield. Thousands of people have

:16:45. > :16:52.gathered in Sheffield. They stretch right back into the city centre.

:16:52. > :16:57.They are wearing gold hats, gold weeks after her victory at the

:16:57. > :17:03.Olympics. At the big screens they gathered in Sheffield join the

:17:03. > :17:08.Games and tonight they have come to the centre just to see her in

:17:08. > :17:13.person. Red, white, blue and most importantly, gold. The colours of

:17:13. > :17:19.celebration in Sheffield. People sharing in the success of this a

:17:19. > :17:24.limpet poster girl. We are proud of Sheffield and we are proud that

:17:24. > :17:32.Jessica. -- this Olympic poster girl. You have to work a little

:17:32. > :17:38.harder to get a real gold. Jessica Ennis is Olympic champion... This

:17:39. > :17:46.city watched as she achieved her long-held dream. Her clear pride

:17:46. > :17:52.matched across the nation. In Sheffield, there are others with

:17:52. > :17:56.hopes of being hot on her heels in the future, especially at the

:17:56. > :18:00.English Institute of Sport, where the English champion trains. It is

:18:00. > :18:06.good to know that people where you are can do those things. It makes

:18:06. > :18:11.you think maybe you can do it one day. Last time I came here I saw

:18:11. > :18:20.Jessica Ennis training. It made me think I want to be a heptathlete

:18:20. > :18:26.when I'm older. I have seen Geste developed from a year seven student

:18:26. > :18:31.to an Olympic gold medallist. -- Jessica Ennis. It is an honour to

:18:31. > :18:37.have had some part to play with that development. Her achievements

:18:37. > :18:42.are marked in about every way you can imagine in the city centre. She

:18:42. > :18:47.is the toast of Sheffield this evening. I am pleased to say the

:18:47. > :18:52.person I have all come to see is with me now - Jessica Ennis. What

:18:52. > :18:59.do you make of this reception? is nothing like I have ever seen

:18:59. > :19:04.before. When I won the world championships, there was a

:19:04. > :19:10.reception but that was on a different scale. We have been

:19:10. > :19:13.talking to some girls who are competing back at the English

:19:14. > :19:19.Institute of Sport, where you train. They have been trying to do things

:19:19. > :19:24.to emulate you. Do we have future champions because of your success?

:19:24. > :19:28.How successful the whole of Team GB has been has been incredible.

:19:28. > :19:33.Hopefully we have inspired some kids to go down to the track or the

:19:34. > :19:39.swimming pool and give it a go. What about you? Let's talk about

:19:39. > :19:44.your future. Your mind must be heading towards Rio now. We have to

:19:45. > :19:49.add to that gold, don't we? At the moment I cannot think about four

:19:49. > :19:55.years away in Rio. It will be a great Olympics but I have the next

:19:56. > :20:00.few years ahead of me. I need to plan and take each year at a time.

:20:00. > :20:05.Jessica Ennis has to go and see that crowd. They have not seen her

:20:05. > :20:09.yet but we can expect a rousing reception for her. Buckingham

:20:09. > :20:13.Palace says the Duke of Edinburgh is responding well to treatment for

:20:13. > :20:18.a bladder infection but he is likely to remain in hospital for a

:20:18. > :20:23.few more days. Eddie -- a helicopter had attempted to airlift

:20:23. > :20:29.him to hospital but it was unsuccessful. What can you tell us

:20:29. > :20:34.about this? It sounds dramatic. The Duke was transported by ambulance

:20:34. > :20:38.the 50 miles from Balmoral to a hospital in Aberdeen. The

:21:55. > :22:00.Test at Lord's, England had a poor start. A short time ago, England

:22:06. > :22:13.South Africa. No one wanted to miss this one bus-stop the fans were

:22:22. > :22:26.Africa do not collapse easily. This half century was a vital

:22:37. > :22:41.was counting for nothing as Jonathan Trott and Alastair Cook

:22:41. > :22:48.departed all too quickly. This is where Kevin Pietersen should have

:22:48. > :22:53.stepped in. His indiscretions meant responsibilities fell on younger

:22:53. > :22:59.soldiers -- shoulders. Jonny Bairstow fared better. Runs were

:22:59. > :23:06.hard to come by. Enter a secret weapon. While South Africa were

:23:06. > :23:13.chasing the pigeon, England grabbed a run. That lightened the mood. The

:23:13. > :23:19.first 50 for the Yorkshireman, much to everyone's relief. One poor shot

:23:19. > :23:26.undid all the hard work. The battle to become the best side in the

:23:26. > :23:30.world is back in the balance. A man who Alex Ferguson hopes to bring

:23:30. > :23:37.the Premier League title back to Manchester United was unveiled to

:23:37. > :23:42.fans. Robin van Persie cannot wait to get started. He has conceded

:23:51. > :23:56.This report contains flash photography. Another new season,

:23:56. > :24:02.another new signing. The capture of Robin van Persie is a timely

:24:02. > :24:07.reminder of why the Premier League remains so popular. In these

:24:07. > :24:17.situations, you have to make hard decisions. I listen to the boys

:24:17. > :24:18.

:24:18. > :24:22.inside me. What does he want? epic climax to last season.

:24:22. > :24:27.Manchester City's astonishing last- gasp triumph when they wrestle the

:24:27. > :24:36.title away from Manchester United encapsulated the sheer drama of the

:24:36. > :24:41.leak, more than any moment in the league history. It helps to cure a

:24:41. > :24:50.new Premier League deal. Matches at grounds like this are now broadcast

:24:50. > :24:55.in 212 countries and watched in 720 million households around the world.

:24:55. > :25:02.The first time we were beaten on goal difference, it will not happen

:25:02. > :25:07.again. Trust me on that. Robin has decided to stay in this country.

:25:07. > :25:12.Does that prove it remains the best league in the world? I think it is.

:25:28. > :25:32.Ham United - and plenty of new faces, including Eden Hazard, Lukas

:25:32. > :25:36.Podolski and Fabio Borini. The League faces a challenge as well.

:25:36. > :25:40.The positivity surrounding the nation's most successful ever

:25:40. > :25:49.Olympic team has left football with something of an image problem. Rio

:25:49. > :25:52.Ferdinand became the latest player to be fined by the FA. Another

:25:52. > :25:57.opportunity for unfavourable comparisons to be made with the

:25:57. > :26:03.Olympic spirit. I can argue it is all very different and comparison

:26:03. > :26:07.should not be made. I am saying we are in greater focus. There is the

:26:07. > :26:14.stark contrast being made and that has to be dealt with and addressed.

:26:14. > :26:19.We are not complacent about it. It is difficult to crack. The greatest

:26:19. > :26:22.show on an earth has been and gone. Now the richest is back. Even the
