There's growing international condemnation after a Russian punk

:00:07.:00:13.

band are sent to prison for criticising the Russian President.

:00:13.:00:16.

As the members of Pussy Riot are led away to start their two-year

:00:16.:00:24.

sentences, there are demonstrations in cities around the world.

:00:24.:00:27.

A judge described their anti Putin protest in a cathedral as

:00:27.:00:30.

blasphemous hooliganism. The husband of one of the women says

:00:30.:00:32.

free speech is under threat. Effective political protest won't

:00:32.:00:36.

be tolerated in Russia, and it will be brutally questioned.

:00:36.:00:39.

But while the women have attracted celebrity support outside Russia,

:00:39.:00:42.

opinions in their own country are divided.

:00:43.:00:45.

Also on tonight's programme: Police investigate whether Ian

Brady has disclosed in a letter the burial place of one of his victims.

:00:48.:00:52.

Keith Bennett is the only victim of the Moors murderer whose body has

:00:52.:01:01.

not been found despite repeated police searches. Ceasefire.

:01:01.:01:04.

Riot police in South Africa insist they acted in self defence after

shooting at least 34 protesting miners.

:01:06.:01:08.

The Department for Education apologises after it's revealed more

school playing fields have been sold than they claimed.

:01:51.:01:55.

BBC news at 6.00pm. Three members of a Russian punk band have been

:01:55.:01:58.

sentenced to two years in prison in a case that has attracted

:01:58.:02:00.

international condemnation. The women in the band Pussy Riot were

:02:00.:02:03.

arrested after staging a protest song in Moscow's main cathedral,

:02:03.:02:13.
:02:13.:02:13.

criticising the church and Vladimir Putin. The judge convicted them for

:02:13.:02:15.

hooliganism and blasphemy. There have been protests in cities around

:02:15.:02:18.

the world against the women's sentences, but in Russia opinion is

:02:18.:02:23.

more divided. Daniel Sandford reports from Moscow.

:02:23.:02:29.

The former world chess champion, Garry Kasparov making a break for

:02:29.:02:34.

freedom before being rearrested and brutally man-handled back into a

:02:34.:02:38.

police van. The scenes outside the Pussy Riot trial in Moscow this

:02:38.:02:42.

evening, as feelings among the opposition ran high.

:02:42.:02:47.

Inside, the three defendants were led into court in handcuffs, which

:02:47.:02:50.

stayed on them throughout today's verdict.

:02:50.:02:55.

Each day the three women have been walked down this staircase One of

:02:55.:02:59.

the most controversial trials in recent Russian history. Their

:02:59.:03:02.

supporters claim that this prosecution was entirely political,

:03:02.:03:12.
:03:12.:03:16.

driven by the Kremlin and the Their crime was to sing parts of

:03:16.:03:21.

this anti-Vladimir Putin protest song in Moscow's main cathedral. It

:03:21.:03:27.

was an act that offended millions of Russians as the song was laced

:03:27.:03:30.

with bad language and sung in one of the most sacred parts of the

:03:30.:03:36.

church. As the judge gave each of them two

:03:36.:03:42.

years in a harsh Russian penal colony, the women smiled. "That's

:03:42.:03:45.

OK, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova could be seen saying to her co-defendants.

:03:45.:03:52.

Outside, her husband was more angry. It's a big sign that loud, bright

:03:52.:03:56.

and effective political protests won't be tolerated in Russia, and

:03:56.:04:00.

it will be brutally crusheds. People involved in it will be

:04:00.:04:06.

prosecuted and harassed in every possible way. There was defiance in

:04:06.:04:10.

the air as one protestor waved a Pussy Riot flag to their new song,

:04:10.:04:14.

which we could hear inside the court, and even those opposition

:04:15.:04:19.

leaders who didn't approve of the cathedral protest were in despair.

:04:20.:04:24.

TRANSLATION: To all of us, even those who didn't like the Pussy

:04:24.:04:29.

Riot act, and I didn't, it was a blatant destruction of justice. It

:04:29.:04:34.

was an inquisition. From Paris to Washington to London to Brussels,

:04:34.:04:38.

supporters around the world showed their disquiet at the trial, and as

:04:38.:04:44.

one protestor tried to escape the Moscow police by climbing into the

:04:44.:04:48.

Turkish Embassy, the Foreign Office joined an international chorus of

:04:48.:04:52.

condemnation, saying the two-year sentence was disproportionate dot

crime. Daniel Sandford joins me now from

:04:55.:05:00.

Moscow. There's growing chorus of international criticism about this

:05:00.:05:04.

sentencing. How bothered is Russia going to be about that? Vladimir

:05:04.:05:07.

Putin is addressing a very specific audience by going about this

:05:07.:05:10.

prosecution in this way, and that's the very conservative Russians who

:05:10.:05:16.

live beyond the suburbs of Moscow, and they were genuinely offended by

:05:16.:05:20.

this act, and also a very useful armoury for him in future elections,

:05:20.:05:24.

which he's going to have several over the next few years in terms of

:05:24.:05:29.

regional elections and governors' elections and so on, and so he's

:05:29.:05:33.

playing to a specific constituency, and whether or not he's bothered by

:05:33.:05:35.

the court of international disapproval is hard to tell, but he

:05:36.:05:40.

is boxing himself into a corner because as he becomes an

:05:40.:05:42.

international pariah, that makes it more difficult for him to do

:05:42.:05:45.

business on the world stage, and I think that's the problem that he's

:05:45.:05:49.

starting to build for himself. He may be playing to a good

:05:49.:05:53.

constituency, but it's causing him problems not just on international

:05:53.:05:56.

stage, but also domestically because more and more people are

:05:56.:06:00.

starting to see him as being not just an effective leader, but also

:06:00.:06:08.

a brutal leader when it comes to dealing with dissent. Thank you.

:06:08.:06:11.

Police are investigating whether the Moors murderer Ian Brady has

:06:11.:06:14.

finally disclosed the burial place of one of his victims. It follows

:06:14.:06:16.

claims by his mental health advocate that he passed her a

:06:16.:06:19.

sealed envelope containing details of the location of 12-year-old

:06:19.:06:21.

Keith Bennett's body. She was arrested yesterday, and her house

:06:21.:06:24.

and Brady's cell were searched. Detectives are now examining a

:06:24.:06:27.

number of documents but concede it could be a "ruse" by Brady. Judith

:06:27.:06:36.

Moritz is on Saddleworth Moor. Certainly, Judith, if this is a

:06:36.:06:40.

ruse, it's a very cruel one. Yes, absolutely, because for years Keith

:06:40.:06:45.

Bennett's family have known that his body is somewhere on this vast

:06:45.:06:48.

moorland. They don't know exactly where, though, and they have had

:06:48.:06:51.

their hopes raised and dashed before. Tonight, his relatives have

:06:51.:06:55.

said that they know that this could be an important new development,

:06:55.:07:02.

but that they don't want to raise their hopes too high at this stage.

:07:02.:07:06.

It's nearly 50 years since 12-year- old Keith Bennett was murdered, and

:07:06.:07:10.

in all that time, his body has never been discovered. His remains

:07:10.:07:16.

are hidden somewhere on Saddleworth Moor, but to the distress of his

:07:16.:07:19.

family, they haven't been found. The one man who could locate Keith

:07:19.:07:23.

is his killer, Ian Brady. He and his accomplice Myra Hindley

:07:23.:07:27.

murdered five children in the 1960s, burying three of them up on the

:07:27.:07:32.

moors. Keith Bennett's body is the only one that's still lost, but now

:07:32.:07:36.

Ian Brady's said to have written a letter from his cell at Ashworth

:07:36.:07:38.

Hospital on Merseyside disclosing the location of the remains. The

:07:38.:07:43.

claim, which is being investigated by police, was made by Jackie

:07:43.:07:47.

Powell, who is Ian Brady's mental health advocate and an exec for of

:07:47.:07:50.

his will. Yesterday she was arrested and her house searched. Ms

:07:50.:07:54.

Powell had previously told a documentary team, "I received a

:07:54.:07:59.

letter and a sealed envelope which said on the front of it, 'To be

:07:59.:08:09.
:08:09.:08:18.

I encouraged her to hand that envelope over to the police. I

:08:18.:08:23.

think of that time she felt she was in a dilemma between her

:08:23.:08:26.

professional obligations to Ian Brady and the moral obligations to

:08:26.:08:32.

Winnie Johnson. It seemed to me that there really wasn't a dilemma

:08:32.:08:35.

there. I've suffered as much as anybody. Keith Bennett's mother,

:08:35.:08:40.

Winnie Johnson, has said many times that her only wish was to find her

:08:40.:08:44.

son's body. She's now severely ill, and she spoke to me at the end of

:08:44.:08:47.

last year. I mean, he got away with the other ones. They found the

:08:48.:08:51.

others, but they didn't find Keith, and that is the main asset for me.

:08:51.:08:56.

I want him found, and I want him found before anything happens to me.

:08:56.:09:00.

Winnie Johnson has been to the moors herself before. Her

:09:00.:09:05.

supporters have welcomed this new development with some reservations.

:09:05.:09:08.

Roy Rainford is a former detective who once worked on the moors

:09:08.:09:12.

murders case. He says the remains would be hard to find, as the pete

:09:13.:09:17.

moorland has shifted over the years. The only thing that's stayed the

:09:17.:09:20.

same are the rock formations. Everything else has changed and

:09:20.:09:25.

move, so how on earth you can pinpoint something from 1964 to

:09:25.:09:30.

2012 is beyond me. The police are now looking for the letter from

:09:30.:09:35.

documents they've seized, but those who know Brady say it may not even

:09:35.:09:38.

exist and that he has been well known for playing mind games in the

:09:38.:09:41.

past. Well, tonight detectives from

:09:41.:09:45.

Greater Manchester Police have said that they're aware of a claim that

:09:45.:09:48.

this letter may have been passed from Jackie Powell back to Ian

:09:48.:09:53.

Brady, but they haven't yet found it, if it exists. They say that

:09:53.:09:56.

they are in the process of looking through the documents they have,

:09:56.:10:01.

but that there are so many of them, it may be into next week before

:10:01.:10:06.

they have any news. Thank you.

:10:06.:10:08.

Police in South Africa have defended their decision to open

:10:08.:10:12.

fire on a group of striking mine workers yesterday killing 34 of

:10:12.:10:16.

them and injuring 78. The country's chief of police said they'd been

:10:16.:10:19.

forced to use maximum force to defend themselves and claimed the

:10:19.:10:22.

protesters were armed with dangerous weapons. Today there have

:10:22.:10:26.

been more protests outside the Lonmin platinum mine. This

:10:26.:10:31.

correspondent from Andrew Harding contains some graphic images.

:10:31.:10:35.

The crime scene today - this can be a violent country, but democratic

:10:35.:10:39.

South Africa has never experienced anything like this. Here's what

:10:39.:10:42.

happened - an increasingly deadly showdown between striking miners

:10:42.:10:46.

and the police reached a climax yesterday afternoon. The tear gas

:10:46.:10:51.

failed to disperse a crowd armed with clubs and spears. Suddenly the

:10:51.:11:01.
:11:01.:11:03.

police say they came under gunfire. Look at their response. Three

:11:03.:11:08.

minute later dozens of civilians lay dead or wounded. A policeman

:11:08.:11:11.

picks out a gun, allegedly one that was used to attack them. Trouble

:11:11.:11:16.

had been brewing here for days with a small militant union trying to

:11:16.:11:20.

make a name for itself. More mainstream groups have blamed it

:11:20.:11:25.

for provoking the violence, but did the police handle this

:11:25.:11:28.

appropriately? The militant groups don't want the police firing shots

:11:28.:11:33.

and wielding dangerous weapons. The police retreated systematically and

:11:33.:11:40.

were forced to utilise maximum force to defend themselves.

:11:40.:11:44.

But at the mine today, the wives and mothers of the dead and wounded

:11:44.:11:47.

confronted the police. You're shooting our husbands and

:11:47.:11:55.

our sons! SOBBING

:11:55.:12:01.

You could argue what happened here was a murky union turf war gone

:12:01.:12:06.

spectacularly wrong, but there was a larger point - South Africa's

:12:06.:12:10.

economy is floundering. The poor are losing patience, and the result

:12:10.:12:16.

is more mill tansy, more angry populism, and, almost inevitably,

:12:16.:12:20.

more bloodshed. The platinum mine is owned by a British company.

:12:20.:12:25.

There is fantastic wealth below the ground here, but for many South

:12:25.:12:32.

Africans not much sign of it up top. 20 years nearly after Paraic

:12:32.:12:36.

O'Brien -- apartheid, for you nothing has changed? Nothing,

:12:36.:12:43.

nothing has changed. Democracy is just flying in the skies. There is

:12:43.:12:47.

nothing. There is hope and a chance that the killings here will provoke

:12:47.:12:57.
:12:57.:12:58.

some meaningful changes, but don't The Department of Education has

:12:58.:13:00.

apologised for publishing inaccurate figures about how many

:13:00.:13:02.

school playing fields have been sold off under the current

:13:02.:13:05.

Government. Today Michael Gove, the Education Secretary, insisted that

:13:05.:13:07.

playing fields were better protected than at any time before.

:13:07.:13:10.

But a member of the panel that advises on the sale of sports

:13:11.:13:18.

fields expressed concern that its judgement was being disregarded.

:13:18.:13:22.

Our political correspondent Ross Hawkins has the story. This is

:13:22.:13:25.

where it so often begins for Olympic champions - the school

:13:25.:13:29.

playing field - no surprise, then, that as the Games ended and David

:13:29.:13:32.

Cameron was asked how many had been sold off under his Government, he

:13:32.:13:38.

had the official figures who hand. In the last two years, 21 school

:13:38.:13:41.

playing fields have been sold. 13 of those, the school in question

:13:41.:13:44.

had closed... But there was a problem. David Cameron's facts

:13:44.:13:48.

provided by the Department of Education were wrong. In fact, 30

:13:49.:13:55.

English school playing fields had been sold since the election, and

:13:55.:13:57.

his Education Secretary Michael Gove is reported to have ignored

:13:57.:14:02.

the advice of the panel when it opposed potential sales on five

:14:02.:14:06.

separate occasions. Good you mislead the public over school

:14:06.:14:09.

playing fields? Absolutely not. did you overrule the committee?

:14:09.:14:14.

Playing fields are better protected now under this Government than at

:14:14.:14:20.

any time. One of those on the committee called the Sport and

:14:20.:14:23.

unRecreation Alliance suggested if this Prime Minister routinely

:14:23.:14:27.

turned his back on the alliance that would be a serious breach of

:14:27.:14:34.

faith. This school in London is one in which it was said land shouldn't

:14:34.:14:40.

be sold only to be overruled by Ministers. It would be nice to have

:14:40.:14:43.

Justin greening here, maybe the Prime Minister too, to look around

:14:43.:14:47.

and see what's being lost. It's decisions about schools like that

:14:47.:14:50.

prove so controversial both in local communities and in national

:14:50.:14:53.

politics. Some of the land being sold off here is used for tennis

:14:53.:14:57.

and for football. The council says there will be new facilities, but

:14:57.:15:00.

this is a school that needs the money from a sale because its

:15:00.:15:04.

buildings are badly in need of repair. We need to know what the

:15:04.:15:08.

agenda is of the Secretary of State and why he's allowing playing

:15:08.:15:11.

fields to be sold off at a rate against expert advice that simply

:15:11.:15:15.

hasn't been happening in recent years. The Government can point out

:15:15.:15:19.

that more than 200 playing fields were sold between 1999 and the end

:15:19.:15:23.

of Labour's time in office. Before that the figures are vaguer. The

:15:23.:15:27.

numbers matter because this is part of a bigger political battle - that

:15:27.:15:31.

school sport and the Olympic legacy that's meant the spaces where

:15:31.:15:40.

children play have become hotly Our top story tonight: Three

:15:40.:15:43.

She was one of THE faces of Team GB. Jessica Ennis won gold in the

:16:22.:16:25.

women's heptathlon and was watched by millions. Well, this evening,

:16:25.:16:28.

she's returning to her home city of Sheffield, where the crowds have

:16:28.:16:30.

been encouraged to wear something gold to honour her Olympic

:16:31.:16:39.

achievement. Chris Buckler is in Sheffield. Thousands of people have

:16:39.:16:45.

gathered in Sheffield. They stretch right back into the city centre.

:16:45.:16:52.

They are wearing gold hats, gold weeks after her victory at the

:16:52.:16:57.

Olympics. At the big screens they gathered in Sheffield join the

:16:57.:17:03.

Games and tonight they have come to the centre just to see her in

:17:03.:17:08.

person. Red, white, blue and most importantly, gold. The colours of

:17:08.:17:13.

celebration in Sheffield. People sharing in the success of this a

:17:13.:17:19.

limpet poster girl. We are proud of Sheffield and we are proud that

:17:19.:17:24.

Jessica. -- this Olympic poster girl. You have to work a little

:17:24.:17:32.

harder to get a real gold. Jessica Ennis is Olympic champion... This

:17:32.:17:38.

city watched as she achieved her long-held dream. Her clear pride

:17:39.:17:46.

matched across the nation. In Sheffield, there are others with

:17:46.:17:52.

hopes of being hot on her heels in the future, especially at the

:17:52.:17:56.

English Institute of Sport, where the English champion trains. It is

:17:56.:18:00.

good to know that people where you are can do those things. It makes

:18:00.:18:06.

you think maybe you can do it one day. Last time I came here I saw

:18:06.:18:11.

Jessica Ennis training. It made me think I want to be a heptathlete

:18:11.:18:20.

when I'm older. I have seen Geste developed from a year seven student

:18:20.:18:26.

to an Olympic gold medallist. -- Jessica Ennis. It is an honour to

:18:26.:18:31.

have had some part to play with that development. Her achievements

:18:31.:18:37.

are marked in about every way you can imagine in the city centre. She

:18:37.:18:42.

is the toast of Sheffield this evening. I am pleased to say the

:18:42.:18:47.

person I have all come to see is with me now - Jessica Ennis. What

:18:47.:18:52.

do you make of this reception? is nothing like I have ever seen

:18:52.:18:59.

before. When I won the world championships, there was a

:18:59.:19:04.

reception but that was on a different scale. We have been

:19:04.:19:10.

talking to some girls who are competing back at the English

:19:10.:19:13.

Institute of Sport, where you train. They have been trying to do things

:19:14.:19:19.

to emulate you. Do we have future champions because of your success?

:19:19.:19:24.

How successful the whole of Team GB has been has been incredible.

:19:24.:19:28.

Hopefully we have inspired some kids to go down to the track or the

:19:28.:19:33.

swimming pool and give it a go. What about you? Let's talk about

:19:34.:19:39.

your future. Your mind must be heading towards Rio now. We have to

:19:39.:19:44.

add to that gold, don't we? At the moment I cannot think about four

:19:45.:19:49.

years away in Rio. It will be a great Olympics but I have the next

:19:49.:19:55.

few years ahead of me. I need to plan and take each year at a time.

:19:56.:20:00.

Jessica Ennis has to go and see that crowd. They have not seen her

:20:00.:20:05.

yet but we can expect a rousing reception for her. Buckingham

:20:05.:20:09.

Palace says the Duke of Edinburgh is responding well to treatment for

:20:09.:20:13.

a bladder infection but he is likely to remain in hospital for a

:20:13.:20:18.

few more days. Eddie -- a helicopter had attempted to airlift

:20:18.:20:23.

him to hospital but it was unsuccessful. What can you tell us

:20:23.:20:29.

about this? It sounds dramatic. The Duke was transported by ambulance

:20:29.:20:34.

the 50 miles from Balmoral to a hospital in Aberdeen. The

:20:34.:20:38.

helicopter was trying to rendezvous with the ambulance and he could

:20:38.:20:43.

Test at Lord's, England had a poor start. A short time ago, England

had recovered. They are about 100 short of the first innings total of

Africa do not collapse easily. This half century was a vital

stepped in. His indiscretions meant responsibilities fell on younger

soldiers -- shoulders. Jonny Bairstow fared better. Runs were

hard to come by. Enter a secret weapon. While South Africa were

:22:59.:23:06.

chasing the pigeon, England grabbed a run. That lightened the mood. The

:23:06.:23:13.

first 50 for the Yorkshireman, much to everyone's relief. One poor shot

:23:13.:23:19.

undid all the hard work. The battle to become the best side in the

:23:19.:23:26.

world is back in the balance. A man who Alex Ferguson hopes to bring

This report contains flash photography. Another new season,

reminder of why the Premier League remains so popular. In these

situations, you have to make hard decisions. I listen to the boys

:24:17.:24:18.

inside me. What does he want? epic climax to last season.

:24:18.:24:22.

Manchester City's astonishing last- gasp triumph when they wrestle the

:24:22.:24:27.

title away from Manchester United encapsulated the sheer drama of the

:24:27.:24:36.

leak, more than any moment in the league history. It helps to cure a

new Premier League deal. Matches at grounds like this are now broadcast

The first time we were beaten on goal difference, it will not happen

again. Trust me on that. Robin has decided to stay in this country.

:25:02.:25:07.

Does that prove it remains the best league in the world? I think it is.

:25:07.:25:12.

What is different about the Premier League this season? There were

:25:12.:25:16.

three newly promoted clubs - Southampton, at Reading and West

:25:16.:25:26.
:25:26.:25:28.

Ham United - and plenty of new faces, including Eden Hazard, Lukas

Podolski and Fabio Borini. The League faces a challenge as well.

:25:32.:25:36.

The positivity surrounding the nation's most successful ever

Olympic team has left football with something of an image problem. Rio

Ferdinand became the latest player to be fined by the FA. Another

opportunity for unfavourable comparisons to be made with the

:25:52.:25:57.

Olympic spirit. I can argue it is all very different and comparison

:25:57.:26:03.

should not be made. I am saying we are in greater focus. There is the

:26:03.:26:07.

stark contrast being made and that has to be dealt with and addressed.

:26:07.:26:14.

We are not complacent about it. It is difficult to crack. The greatest

show on an earth has been and gone. Now the richest is back. Even the
