:02:14. > :02:18.overnight. The two sides have blamed each other for starting the
:02:19. > :02:21.violence. The clashes erupted as protesters tried to take back
:02:22. > :02:31.Independence Square, where they've been camped out for months. Nearby
:02:32. > :02:34.buildings, including the City Hall, the central post office and the
:02:35. > :02:36.Ukraina Hotel, have been used to treat the injured and to store
:02:37. > :02:43.bodies. Our correspondent, Daniel Sandford, was staying at the hotel.
:02:44. > :02:47.He's in Kiev for us now. It's been another frighteningly
:02:48. > :02:51.bloody day in Kiev and the most dangerous yet, because police
:02:52. > :02:54.officers opened fire on protesters for more than two hours. Much of the
:02:55. > :03:00.fighting took place around this hotel. For much of the morning, this
:03:01. > :03:04.hotel's reception was a temporary morgue. As we go on air tonight, the
:03:05. > :03:08.bodies of those who died being paraded around Independence Square.
:03:09. > :03:17.My report contains some distressing images of violence. The first sign
:03:18. > :03:21.of Kiev's descent into insanity this morning was police officers being
:03:22. > :03:29.loaded into ambulances. It's not clear what had injured them,
:03:30. > :03:32.possibly gunshots. But very soon afterwards you could see armed
:03:33. > :03:41.police retreating from their front line in the main square. Then...
:03:42. > :03:48.Carnage. Police shooting as protesters ran up the hill towards
:03:49. > :03:56.them. Having abandoned their positions, they seem to be firing at
:03:57. > :04:02.will. We watched as protesters are advanced straight into the line of
:04:03. > :04:06.fire. A few had weapons but most were armed only with makeshift
:04:07. > :04:19.shield. They were gunned down mercilessly. When the protesters
:04:20. > :04:23.charged up the hill, the police opened fire with automatic rifles.
:04:24. > :04:30.Now we are seeing many protesters coming back badly injured. The death
:04:31. > :04:35.toll is still being counted but in our hotel, which became a makeshift
:04:36. > :04:40.hospital run by volunteer doctors, 13 bodies were brought into
:04:41. > :04:45.reception. Killed by snipers with a metal bullet. They were killed by
:04:46. > :04:50.very high professionals, because they didn't give a chance for
:04:51. > :04:57.doctors to help people. The bullets come directly to the heart, the
:04:58. > :05:04.neck, the lungs. Almost all people who were brought here words... We
:05:05. > :05:08.were doing emergency but we have no chance to save their life. The
:05:09. > :05:12.shooting continued for about two hours and then the police were
:05:13. > :05:19.gone, leaving only a few snipers in place. Near Parliament, officers
:05:20. > :05:22.were in retreat, too. Slowly the protest is regained all the
:05:23. > :05:26.territory they lost earlier this week. It is midday and the
:05:27. > :05:30.protesters have taken so much ground in their costly morning advance that
:05:31. > :05:36.they now control the street right up to the front doors of Parliament.
:05:37. > :05:40.The line of police is only blocking them get to Parliament itself. The

:06:12. > :06:15.nationalist revolutionaries. Now so much blood has been spilt, the
:06:16. > :06:27.divisions in Ukraine are becoming unbridgeable. In the last hour,
:06:28. > :06:34.European fun # European foreign ministers meeting in Brussels have
:06:35. > :06:38.imposed sanctions on Ukraine. Our diplomatic correspondent, Bridget
:06:39. > :06:47.Kendall, reports. This crisis is no longer just about Kiev. This was the
:06:48. > :06:53.city of loads in western Ukraine yesterday. Heavily armed protesters
:06:54. > :07:04.have just broken into the Governor's office. Now he is being
:07:05. > :07:09.dragged out and handcuffed to a poll on a makeshift stage. And this isn't
:07:10. > :07:14.just a handful of radicals taking over. Look at the size of the crowd
:07:15. > :07:21.will stop many of them calling for Ukraine's president to resign. And
:07:22. > :07:29.here in Lviv, protesters set fire to the local headquarters of interior
:07:30. > :07:34.troops. This was the moment when protesters stormed their way into
:07:35. > :07:40.the Security Service building. It's a pattern repeated across western
:07:41. > :07:44.Ukraine. A country facing in two directions. Ukraine's trouble is
:07:45. > :07:50.spreading fast. Western Ukraine has always been more rebellious, and not
:07:51. > :07:54.just in Lutzka and Lviv. Across the region protesters have taken over.
:07:55. > :08:00.The president has virtually lost control. In the east there is also
:08:01. > :08:05.an rest, the ruling party's office was ransacked. In Kharkiv,
:08:06. > :08:10.protesters clashed with government troops. From Donetsk and Crimea, and
:08:11. > :08:15.we demand that the government crackdown. But you can't really
:08:16. > :08:19.divide Ukraine in two along the river, one side looking east and one
:08:20. > :08:24.side looking west. It's far more complex, with the younger Ukrainians
:08:25. > :08:27.especially keen to become more European, and the Crimea warning it
:08:28. > :08:33.might join Russia if the unrest worsens. I think the danger is real
:08:34. > :08:37.and present, because the longer this crisis continues in the capital, the
:08:38. > :08:41.more there is provinces of the Ukraine with their own ethnicities,
:08:42. > :08:45.traditions and histories, they will start to talk about separation,
:08:46. > :08:48.federalism, pursuing their own agendas. This is an extremely
:08:49. > :08:54.dangerous thing for young country like Ukraine. It's a crisis the
:08:55. > :08:57.world is floundering to deal with. This afternoon, three EU foreign
:08:58. > :09:01.ministers sat down with the Ukrainian president, Viktor
:09:02. > :09:05.Yanukovych, trying to mediate, but to no avail. What is also dangerous
:09:06. > :09:10.about this crisis is the way it's deepening the split on the outside
:09:11. > :09:14.world. The United States has sided with the opposition, swiftly
:09:15. > :09:18.punishing Ukrainian government with a VISA ban. The Europeans hoped to
:09:19. > :09:22.mediate but they, too, had taken sides and this afternoon announced
:09:23. > :09:26.their own sanctions against the government. But in Russia, President
:09:27. > :09:28.Putin sees the unrest of an attempted coup encouraged
:09:29. > :09:36.behind-the-scenes, he says, by Western powers. But what the outside
:09:37. > :09:39.world thinks may prove irrelevant. If you thence continue to spiral
:09:40. > :09:48.beyond control. Bridget Kendall, BBC News. Let's return to Daniel
:09:49. > :09:54.Sandford in Kiev. Such a grim day, Daniel, how do you assess the mood
:09:55. > :09:58.and sense there tonight? There is a danger that a line has been crossed
:09:59. > :10:02.now. There are people out there on the square who don't feel this is
:10:03. > :10:06.about protesting anymore. We've just had gunfire again near the hotel,
:10:07. > :10:10.which is why I put my protective gear on again. People see this as a
:10:11. > :10:13.resolution. As the bodies are paraded around the square down
:10:14. > :10:17.there, there is a growing sense of anger. I'm not quite sure how people
:10:18. > :10:21.are going to build a resolution which all sides can agree to. People
:10:22. > :10:32.on the square want President Yanukovych gone, and I don't think
:10:33. > :10:35.he's prepared to stand down at the moment. It's a very risky situation
:10:36. > :10:41.and it's not quite clear how anyone is going to bring the country back
:10:42. > :10:48.from the brink. You can find much more analysis on Ukraine on the BBC
:10:49. > :10:53.website. Now the rest of the day's news. Rebekah Brooks, the former
:10:54. > :10:56.chief executive of News International, has denied knowledge
:10:57. > :10:59.of phone hacking while she was editor of the News of the World. She
:11:00. > :11:03.has been giving evidence on the opening day of her defence. Earlier,
:11:04. > :11:06.Mrs Brooks was formally cleared of one count of conspiracy to commit
:11:07. > :11:12.misconduct in public office. She denies the four other charges she
:11:13. > :11:18.faces. Tom Symonds reports. She started out sweeping the floor at a
:11:19. > :11:22.local paper but ended up rubbing shoulders with Royals and Prime
:11:23. > :11:26.Ministers. The most powerful woman in the British newspaper business.
:11:27. > :11:31.The rise and rise of Rebekah Brooks was set out for the court today.
:11:32. > :11:37.This trial has lasted 62 days so far, and she has spent most of them
:11:38. > :11:42.sat in the dock. The jury hadn't heard a single word from her until
:11:43. > :11:46.today. About the allegations of phone hacking, illegal payments to
:11:47. > :11:49.public officials and what the prosecution has called the cover-up.
:11:50. > :11:54.Rebekah Brooks settled herself into a seat in the witness box. She is
:11:55. > :12:00.expected to occupy at four days. The questions began. For now, from her
:12:01. > :12:04.barrister, Jonathan Laidlaw QC. She often answered simply yes or no,
:12:05. > :12:08.going into more detail when explaining the workings of the
:12:09. > :12:13.newspapers. She was asked a series of questions about the period 2000
:12:14. > :12:16.to 2003, when she was editing the News of the World and when this man,
:12:17. > :12:21.private detective Glenn Mulcaire, has admitted hacking phones for that
:12:22. > :12:26.newspaper. Had she during that time known about Glenn Mulcaire or his
:12:27. > :12:30.activities? Her answer each time was no. Had she known about private
:12:31. > :12:36.detective is being used by newspapers? She said that was common
:12:37. > :12:42.practice on Fleet Street. And then this specific question from her
:12:43. > :12:45.barrister. As for phone hacking, accessing voice mail messages, was
:12:46. > :12:50.any involvement he had in that practice ever drawn to your
:12:51. > :12:54.retention? She said, no, not at all. She said and investigations
:12:55. > :12:59.unit she set up had done great work in the public interest and had not
:13:00. > :13:03.been there to hack phones. And later added, it's impossible for an editor
:13:04. > :13:08.to know every source of every story because of the sheer volume of
:13:09. > :13:11.material coming into the paper. Rebekah Brooks had been accused of
:13:12. > :13:17.authorising a journalist to pay for a picture of Prince William in a
:13:18. > :13:20.bikini at a party, while studying at stand Hirst. After legal arguments,
:13:21. > :13:24.the judge said this morning there wasn't enough evidence of that and
:13:25. > :13:28.the jury was ordered to a quitter. But she is still accused of one
:13:29. > :13:33.charge of conspiring to intercept phone messages, phone hacking, one
:13:34. > :13:42.charge of making illegal payments. Is and two of perverting the course
:13:43. > :13:46.of justice. She denies them all. Bosses at Centrica, which owns
:13:47. > :13:49.British Gas, have warned that political intervention in the energy
:13:50. > :13:52.market risks the danger of the lights going out. The Government has
:13:53. > :13:57.called on regulators to investigate profit margins, while Labour has
:13:58. > :14:02.promised to freeze prices if it wins next year's general election.
:14:03. > :14:06.British Gas announced annual profits of ?571 million today, slightly down
:14:07. > :14:11.on last year. Our business correspondent, John Moylan, reports.
:14:12. > :14:21.Could the row over energy prices risk the lights going out in
:14:22. > :14:23.Britain? That's what the chairman of Centrica warned today, as consumer
:14:24. > :14:26.groups lined up to criticise profits of British Gas of more than ?570
:14:27. > :14:29.million. There is still this suspicion that the very big
:14:30. > :14:34.suppliers like Centrica, British Gas, are selling themselves gas and
:14:35. > :14:38.electricity at a high price that is hitting consumers very hard. That
:14:39. > :14:43.this isn't a competitive market that works in the interest of consumers.
:14:44. > :14:48.British Gas announced back in October it would increase prices by
:14:49. > :14:51.more than 9%. But that subsequently became a 6% rise after the
:14:52. > :14:55.Government agreed to cut back the green levies on our bills. But that
:14:56. > :15:04.hasn't stopped the company from shedding customers. It has lost more
:15:05. > :15:07.than 350,000 of them over the past year. Neil Denison, a married father
:15:08. > :15:10.of three from Yorkshire, was one of them. It British Gas customer for 15
:15:11. > :15:15.years, he came to the conclusion that his loyalty wasn't valued.
:15:16. > :15:18.Gradually it became more and more like they were taking advantage over
:15:19. > :15:23.existing customers. The prices were going up at higher rates than other
:15:24. > :15:28.companies. I decided I had to stop being a mug and look into switching
:15:29. > :15:33.and see whether there was a way to bring the bills down. Ed Miliband's
:15:34. > :15:37.promised to freeze energy prices sparked a huge political storm. The
:15:38. > :15:40.Energy Secretary, Ed Davey, launched the competition review. He has
:15:41. > :15:45.recently questioned British Gas' dominance. The company says the row
:15:46. > :15:50.could threaten our future energy supplies. Uncertainty is the enemy
:15:51. > :15:53.of investment. The issue we've got at the moment is if there is
:15:54. > :15:59.political interference, then clearly that is something that is going to
:16:00. > :16:05.concern investors and slow down building new power stations, which
:16:06. > :16:09.we desperately need. You think it was inappropriate for the secretary
:16:10. > :16:14.of state to intervene in this time? Greene we are in the middle of a
:16:15. > :16:18.political cycle, we all understand that. Centrica's shares have fallen
:16:19. > :16:20.by more than 20% in recent months. Depending on the outcome of the
:16:21. > :16:28.competition review, there could be worse to come. More than 20 killed
:16:29. > :16:37.in Ukraine as battles break out between government forces and
:16:38. > :16:40.protestors. Later on BBC London, more complaints
:16:41. > :16:42.of neglect and poor standards at a North London hospital where an
:16:43. > :16:45.elderly patient was left in unsanitary conditions. And anger at
:16:46. > :16:56.the negative portrayal of their estate on TV - the residents taking
:16:57. > :16:59.on Channel four. A major study is underway to see
:17:00. > :17:04.whether injecting heart attack patients with their own cells can
:17:05. > :17:09.help them to recover. There are more than 100,000 heart attacks every
:17:10. > :17:14.year in the UK, and heart disease is the biggest single killer. The study
:17:15. > :17:17.is the largest of its kind, involving 3000 patients from 11
:17:18. > :17:26.European countries. Fergus Walsh has this report. Heart
:17:27. > :17:29.attacks are a medical emergency. Every minute counts. And more people
:17:30. > :17:35.than ever are surviving them thanks to prompt treatment. Like Neal
:17:36. > :17:40.Grainger. But patients can be left with a permanently weakened heart,
:17:41. > :17:46.making everyday tasks difficult. So now, a week after cardiologists at
:17:47. > :17:52.the London chest Hospital saved his life, they are trying to repair his
:17:53. > :17:59.heart, with these, stem cells taken from his bone marrow, which they
:18:00. > :18:06.inject direct into his heart. Aedes come from yourself to mend yourself.
:18:07. > :18:10.-- it has come from yourself. Could those cells meant his heart? A heart
:18:11. > :18:15.attack happens when the blood supply suddenly gets blocked, usually by a
:18:16. > :18:20.fatty deposit of cholesterol. Heart muscle starts to die because of the
:18:21. > :18:27.lack of oxygen. Urgent treatment is needed. The artery is clear and a
:18:28. > :18:32.metal mesh left inside to keep it open. The damage caused can continue
:18:33. > :18:36.for some days. The injection of the patient's own stem cells is an
:18:37. > :18:41.attempt to hold that damage. Maybe even reverse it. The cells release
:18:42. > :18:46.chemical messages which hopefully kick-start a hard's natural repair
:18:47. > :18:51.mechanisms. That could mean patients are left healthier and less at risk
:18:52. > :18:56.of long-term heart problems. Neal Grainger will be monitored for five
:18:57. > :19:02.years to see if his heart improves. He is taking much better care of
:19:03. > :19:07.himself now, especially his diet. Salt was the big problem with me.
:19:08. > :19:11.Extra salt on everything. I have done it ever since I was a child. I
:19:12. > :19:18.did not think my body shape fitted a heart attack sort of person. I was
:19:19. > :19:22.surprised. There have been several small trials using stem cells for
:19:23. > :19:29.heart repair. This study will show for certain if the treatment is
:19:30. > :19:34.effective. If it is positive, the benefits of patients will be that we
:19:35. > :19:43.have something to deal with. For the overall field of medicine, we have a
:19:44. > :19:47.whole new branch opening up. This trial is not being funded by a drug
:19:48. > :19:52.company. You can have patented a patient's own cells. There is no
:19:53. > :19:56.profit for them. It is being backed by the European Commission, they
:19:57. > :20:04.hope being two to create a treatment using these cells, which saves the
:20:05. > :20:08.NHS money and saves lives. Formula one boss Bernie Ecclestone
:20:09. > :20:13.has won a multi-million pound compensation case, even though a
:20:14. > :20:22.High Court judge says a share daily was Bolton, was corrupt. The judge
:20:23. > :20:25.said bribes were paid in 2005. But the German company that brought the
:20:26. > :20:28.case was not entitled to compensation as they suffered no
:20:29. > :20:38.financial loss. Dan Roan was in court. Bernie Ecclestone's rise from
:20:39. > :20:42.second-hand car salesman to the commercial rights holder of the
:20:43. > :20:46.world's most glamorous sport is unique. Today, more controversy. The

:20:52. > :20:56.Court lawsuit but still suffering damage to his reputation when a
:20:57. > :21:02.judge called into question his integrity. When I spoke to him this
:21:03. > :21:07.evening, he denied any wrongdoing. Let's assume I am a liar and I am
:21:08. > :21:14.unreliable. I have run the sport for the last 30 odd years. And nothing
:21:15. > :21:21.has changed. So if I was unreliable and whatever, I have been lucky to
:21:22. > :21:31.be as successful as we have been. Konstantin median had claimed
:21:32. > :21:39.Ecclestone bribed a banker, Gerhard Gribkowsky. Ecclestone claimed he
:21:40. > :21:41.was the victim of blackmail. When delivering his verdict today,
:21:42. > :21:53.however, the judge said of Ecclestone:
:21:54. > :22:02.However, the judge said there was no attempt to deliberately undervalue
:22:03. > :22:07.Formula one -- Formula One. It is his damning comments about
:22:08. > :22:12.Ecclestone that have raised serious questions about his leadership of

:23:02. > :23:06.alcohol. We have all long suspected it, today it was officially
:23:07. > :23:12.confirmed. This has been the wettest winter since records began. Let's
:23:13. > :23:18.find out more from David Shukman. No surprise, but the statistics prove
:23:19. > :23:25.it now? Yes, they do prove it. We have weather data back to 1910. We
:23:26. > :23:32.have never had a wet winter. Let's look at the rainfall total. 486.8
:23:33. > :23:37.millimetres. That is 19 inches. It beats the last record. Bear in mind
:23:38. > :23:43.that February is not over yet. The number could still go higher. To get
:23:44. > :23:48.a sense of the real story, you need to see a map of where the rain fell
:23:49. > :23:52.across the United Kingdom. White areas where there has been average
:23:53. > :23:56.rainfall. Dark blue is where there has been more than twice the
:23:57. > :24:00.average. In addition to there being a national record, there are a host
:24:01. > :24:03.of other records as well, for Wales, south-west England, South
:24:04. > :24:08.East England. We know what this means. The ground is saturated.
:24:09. > :24:18.There is not much evaporation until summer comes. The flooding goes on.
:24:19. > :24:23.Thank you. David Shukman. In Sochi, Team GB is destined to equal its
:24:24. > :24:26.best ever Winter Olympics after the women's curling team beat
:24:27. > :24:29.Switzerland to take the bronze. They are guaranteed a fourth medal
:24:30. > :24:38.tomorrow when the men's curlers compete.
:24:39. > :24:42.The gold may have gone but a medal still lay tantalisingly close.
:24:43. > :24:47.Fergie Eve Muirhead's team, the challenge is was to bring home the
:24:48. > :24:51.bronze. In Switzerland, they were up against a team who beat them earlier
:24:52. > :24:56.in the competition. Britain were soon trailing once again as the
:24:57. > :25:00.Swiss took an early lead. The captain steadied the ship. Eve
:25:01. > :25:06.Muirhead's pinpoint precision ensuring that by the halfway point
:25:07. > :25:11.it was level. The teams were locked at 5-5 going into the final end but
:25:12. > :25:16.Eve Muirhead had the final stone. This fern Olympic medal. An
:25:17. > :25:29.agonising, nerve shredding weight. But it was worth it. Britain have
:25:30. > :25:33.won the bronze! After yesterday's heartache, this time the Jews were
:25:34. > :25:40.of joy. It has been a difficult tournament for the British team.
:25:41. > :25:45.Words cannot describe it right now. It is fantastic. It was a great
:25:46. > :25:48.game. It could have gone either way. We were chasing a little bit the
:25:49. > :25:54.first half but when we stepped it up we knew we had two and the girls
:25:55. > :25:59.were fantastic. What a game this is turning out to be for the Britain --
:26:00. > :26:04.British curlers. It is a sport that once again has captured the
:26:05. > :26:07.imagination of the country. Absolutely delighted. They tried so
:26:08. > :26:15.hard and they worked so hard for the whole year. It could be better.
:26:16. > :26:18.Fantastic. It also means this is now Britain's best Winter Olympics for
:26:19. > :26:27.90 years. A day of history and high emotion.

:27:49. > :27:54.unlucky, you will get a downpour with hail and rain. Most frequent
:27:55. > :27:59.showers across Scotland and Northern Ireland. Here, it could be a pretty
:28:00. > :28:06.wet day. If you are out Friday night, more of the same. Let's break
:28:07. > :28:13.down the weekend. It will still be pretty unsettled. A bright start.
:28:14. > :28:17.That is emphasising Saturday. Windy all through the weekend. The second

:28:30. > :28:32.windy day. 50 mph winds. On Sunday, the winds increasing further. I
