:03:24. > :03:29.answer. Less than an hour's Drive South, we saw once again the extent
:03:30. > :03:33.of the problem that confronts them. Outside the main council offices in
:03:34. > :03:38.Sloviansk, well armed men, much more disciplined than we have seen so
:03:39. > :03:42.far, appeared to be in charge. Men who look similar to the Russian
:03:43. > :03:46.troops we saw in Crimea. They had taken over the town's seat of power
:03:47. > :03:50.and were asking everyone to leave. Stuff coming out told us they had
:03:51. > :03:57.been ordered to go home, leaving the building of the hands of the men

:04:19. > :04:21.both heavily armed were in position, both claiming to be defending the
:04:22. > :04:29.rights of the people in Eastern Ukraine. Are you getting any idea on
:04:30. > :04:37.the ground of how far this operation by Ukrainians to forces might go? --
:04:38. > :04:42.Ukrainian security forces. There are two things we know for certain. This
:04:43. > :04:46.show of force today is a deliberate way of saying, we are doing
:04:47. > :04:51.something. Secondly, this significant moment when they took
:04:52. > :04:55.back some ground, they took back Kramatorsk airfield, which had been
:04:56. > :05:00.loosely held by pro-Russian militia for the last few days. It looks like
:05:01. > :05:03.Ukrainian soldiers landed with four helicopters on the airfield. There
:05:04. > :05:07.was shooting. At the moment it looks like it might have been in the air
:05:08. > :05:11.but there are reports by Russian media of casualties. The Russian
:05:12. > :05:15.media have been inaccurate on this story in recent days. What we do not
:05:16. > :05:19.know is whether Ukrainians are going to push for it into the city of
:05:20. > :05:25.Sloviansk, the city at the end of my report. That would be a different
:05:26. > :05:28.matter. Not only is it surrounded by barricades and well motivated young
:05:29. > :05:33.man, but in the heart of the city is that building where we sought the
:05:34. > :05:41.men today, who looked like experienced soldiers fighting on the
:05:42. > :05:46.side of the pro-Russian forces. The former editor of the News of the
:05:47. > :05:49.World, Andy Coulson, has told the Old Bailey he had no knowledge of
:05:50. > :05:52.phone hacking at his paper and played no part in the hacking of
:05:53. > :05:57.Milly Dowler's phone. He described the practice as a breach of privacy
:05:58. > :06:00.and lazy journalism. He denies conspiracy to hack phones and
:06:01. > :06:07.continued misconduct in public office.
:06:08. > :06:11.It was only a matter of time before the former editor was asked about
:06:12. > :06:15.the most explosive episode in the phone hacking saga and so it was on
:06:16. > :06:19.his second day that the questioning turned to the tabloid targeting of
:06:20. > :06:23.Milly Dowler. He told the court that, at the time of her
:06:24. > :06:27.disappearance, listening to people's voice mails was not called
:06:28. > :06:30.phone hacking and he did not know it was illegal, but it was something
:06:31. > :06:41.journalists gossiped about. His new... -- his view...
:06:42. > :06:46.The Milly Dowler story, published in April, 2002, is central to the
:06:47. > :06:50.trial. It began with a paper's believes that the missing schoolgirl
:06:51. > :06:56.must have been alive and applying for a job. It is agreed her phone
:06:57. > :07:00.was hacked - a message from an employment agency was discovered. Mr
:07:01. > :07:10.Coulson was asked was he aware of it. His answer, I was not. The court
:07:11. > :07:14.saw an e-mail suggesting the paper offered the police recordings from
:07:15. > :07:18.Milly Dowler's phone. He said it would have been interference in a
:07:19. > :07:23.police investigation. The newspaper said five reporters and two
:07:24. > :07:27.photographers were in Telford where a factory might have been offering
:07:28. > :07:32.Milly Dowler work. I do not think I was aware, Mr Coulson told the
:07:33. > :07:36.court. The editor, Rebekah Brooks, was in Dubai on holiday at the
:07:37. > :07:40.time. The prosecution says Andy Coulson, the acting editor, called
:07:41. > :07:44.her to discuss the story. But he said, I do not remember any
:07:45. > :07:51.conversation about Milly Dowler. He said the resulting article,
:07:52. > :07:56.suggesting a hoaxer had been calling Milly Dowler, was unremarkable. As
:07:57. > :08:00.an editor, Andy Coulson described himself as risk-averse, a custodian
:08:01. > :08:04.of the News of the World's brand, and not someone who wanted to land
:08:05. > :08:08.the paper in trouble. He denies phone hacking and two other charges.
:08:09. > :08:11.Tens of thousands have gathered at Anfield in Liverpool to remember the
:08:12. > :08:14.victims of the Hillsborough disaster. Bells rang out across
:08:15. > :08:18.Merseyside at 3.06 to mark the exact moment 25 years ago when the FA Cup
:08:19. > :08:22.semifinal in Sheffield was stopped after a crush that killed 96
:08:23. > :08:35.Liverpool fans. Our sports editor David Bond is at Anfield now.
:08:36. > :08:39.This is always a day when Liverpool and football stop to pay tribute to
:08:40. > :08:43.the 96 victims who died at Hillsborough. This service, 25 years
:08:44. > :08:50.on from the tragedy, felt more moving than ever before. The moment
:08:51. > :09:05.Liverpool stood still to remember the victims of Hillsborough.
:09:06. > :09:12.A city united in respect and grief. Raymond Thomas Chapman. Gary
:09:13. > :09:24.Christopher Church. Sarah Louise Hicks. Victoria Jane Hicks. As the
:09:25. > :09:28.names of the victims were read out, lights were lit in a new sculpture
:09:29. > :09:32.to commemorate the sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, all
:09:33. > :09:39.of whom died just watching a game of football. Liverpool's star players
:09:40. > :09:45.past and present looked on. Some witness that dreadful day. For the
:09:46. > :09:51.victims families and the survivors, the memories will hold them for
:09:52. > :09:56.ever. Families, we warn our loved ones constantly, and especially
:09:57. > :10:04.today. But the spirit of the 96 burns in our hearts and drives us
:10:05. > :10:10.on. What happened here has left a city, a club, a sport scarred by the
:10:11. > :10:13.experience. Improvements to safety have been made, but for the families
:10:14. > :10:23.who lost loved ones, that has never been enough. Mairead Corrigan lost
:10:24. > :10:27.her son, Keith, at Hillsborough. He was just 17. Every year, she comes
:10:28. > :10:33.here to remember and like all of the victims' families, she never gives
:10:34. > :10:38.up hope that their long campaign would force people to notice. It is
:10:39. > :10:42.poignant to think that 25 years we have struggled, we have fought,
:10:43. > :10:48.appears have gone out to finally get people to listen to us and what we
:10:49. > :10:55.knew. Five years ago, as a government minister Andy Burnham
:10:56. > :11:03.received a hostile impression welcome. What was your call five
:11:04. > :11:18.years ago is mine today. Justice for the 96! Liverpool have not won a
:11:19. > :11:21.league title since a year after Hillsborough. The current manager
:11:22. > :11:26.knows winning at this season would be a fitting tribute. Your courage,
:11:27. > :11:29.fortitude, resilience and dignity and the love for the people you
:11:30. > :11:38.lost, that is what inspires me every single day of my life as the manager
:11:39. > :11:42.of Liverpool football club. No trophy, Memorial or public enquiry
:11:43. > :11:48.can ever heal the endless sorrow felt by these families and fans, but
:11:49. > :11:56.they may at least make the pain easier to bear. Five years ago, the
:11:57. > :12:00.memorial service here turned out to be a watershed. It led to the
:12:01. > :12:04.release of thousands of pages of documents which, in turn, have led
:12:05. > :12:07.to the inquest going on down the road in Warrington and two new
:12:08. > :12:11.criminal investigations. It may take months, if not years, for those to
:12:12. > :12:14.be included. But there was an overwhelming sense today that there
:12:15. > :12:20.is at least progress being made towards a new chapter in the story.
:12:21. > :12:23.The gap between increases in the cost of living and people's wages is
:12:24. > :12:27.narrowing after the rate of inflation fell for the sixth month
:12:28. > :12:34.in a row. Prices rose 1.6% in the year to March,that's down from 1.7%
:12:35. > :12:37.in the year to February. And that compares with the current rise in
:12:38. > :12:47.average earnings, including bonuses, of 1.4%. Our chief economics
:12:48. > :12:51.correspondent Hugh Pym reports. Inflation, which measures price
:12:52. > :12:55.increases across the economy, affects everyone. For shoppers and
:12:56. > :13:00.savers, the good news is that prices are not rising so rapidly. Last
:13:01. > :13:05.month saw the lowest annual rate in 4.5 years. Inflation has been
:13:06. > :13:10.falling for several months and now it is at 1.6%. It has fallen where
:13:11. > :13:15.it matters, food prices and filling up the car. People will feel
:13:16. > :13:22.benefits of it. As inflation eases, rage rises are picking up, at
:13:23. > :13:27.companies like this in Leeds. -- wage rises. The economy is growing
:13:28. > :13:32.and sales are rising and they are awarding a bigger pay increase so
:13:33. > :13:37.they do not lose staff. We want to keep old people. A lot of people are
:13:38. > :13:40.ambitious and they want to succeed themselves and the personal growth.
:13:41. > :13:45.We are keen to keep them on what's we train them up and make sure that
:13:46. > :13:50.the workforce stay with us for a certain amount of time so we get
:13:51. > :13:53.value out of them. The gap between pay and price increases is
:13:54. > :14:00.narrowing. Inflation picked up rapidly from 2010 under point was
:14:01. > :14:03.above 5%, but has fallen back a lot in the last few months. Average wage
:14:04. > :14:10.rises were running behind inflation but are now only just below the
:14:11. > :14:14.inflation rate. Lucinda, who works in customer service, says it is
:14:15. > :14:20.easier to cope with everyday bills. The cost of living seemed to go up
:14:21. > :14:24.in the past but at the moment it is constant. Rises go up and down, but
:14:25. > :14:29.not in a major way. It is not hard to get by at the minute. Average
:14:30. > :14:33.wage rises may be catching up with cost of living increases, but what
:14:34. > :14:36.does that mean for consumers? After a long squeeze on their living
:14:37. > :14:40.standards it may take a while for people to notice the difference.
:14:41. > :14:44.Many have seen the inflation adjusted value of their pay fall
:14:45. > :14:59.since the recession. It may take a while to get back where it was.
:15:00. > :15:01.While inflation may be easing, house price rises are accelerating. The
:15:02. > :15:03.average annual increase was above 9% in February, according to the Office
:15:04. > :15:05.for National Statistics. For home-buyers, that means more
:15:06. > :15:11.pressure on their budgets. The electoral commission is to write
:15:12. > :15:16.to UKIP to investigate claims that he used an office rent free. It
:15:17. > :15:25.follows an investigation by The Times newspaper that Mr Friars
:15:26. > :15:31.received ?30,000 per year but spends only 3000 per year. Mr Farage said
:15:32. > :15:34.he spends the money on legitimate expenses and accused the Times of a
:15:35. > :15:36.political smear. West Midlands Police have publicly
:15:37. > :15:39.criticised the government's decision to bring in the former National Head
:15:40. > :15:42.of Counter Terrorism to handle an investigation into 25 Birmingham
:15:43. > :15:44.schools. Peter Clarke is to analyse claims that the schools have been
:15:45. > :15:46.infiltrated by Islamist extremists. But the police say it's a
:15:47. > :15:55.desperately unfortunate appointment. Reeta Chakrabarti has the details.
:15:56. > :16:01.What is going on in Birmingham's schools? Today those doing the
:16:02. > :16:09.investigating came to blows because Peter Clarke put into fact find used
:16:10. > :16:13.to beat the national head of counterterror, an unfortunate
:16:14. > :16:22.appointment according to a senior police officer. The conclusions that
:16:23. > :16:30.will be drawn I think will play out in the community and beyond. Very
:16:31. > :16:34.clearly from our perspective this is not a counterterrorism
:16:35. > :16:37.investigation. It is about education and whether hardline Muslims are
:16:38. > :16:44.trying to take over school governing bodies. Building in a
:16:45. > :16:49.counterterrorism expert in this multi-ethnic city is sending out the
:16:50. > :16:55.wrong messages. All the schools are shut for the Easter break, but local
:16:56. > :17:01.people working to express their support for this school. This school
:17:02. > :17:07.is very nice, my grandchild is very happy, no problem. We spoke to
:17:08. > :17:10.several parents who said they were supportive of the school and some
:17:11. > :17:14.said they thought the stories were propaganda. But we spoke to two
:17:15. > :17:20.older children at the school and they said the atmosphere had changed
:17:21. > :17:25.and things had become more strictly Islamic. Whatever is going on, the
:17:26. > :17:28.Department for Education said Peter Clarke had integrity and
:17:29. > :17:35.independence and was the right person to uncover the truth. Our top
:17:36. > :17:37.story this evening: Ukrainian forces launch military action against
:17:38. > :17:46.pro-Russian gunmen in the east of the country. President Putin has

:18:15. > :18:17.would continue to be built in Scotland if the country votes for
:18:18. > :18:20.independence. That is the warning from the Defence Secretary, Philip
:18:21. > :18:23.Hammond, who said thousands of jobs would be at risk. In a speech in
:18:24. > :18:26.Glasgow he said the UK's security would be damaged by independence.
:18:27. > :18:28.But Scotland's First Minister, Alex Salmond, insisted the Royal Navy
:18:29. > :18:32.would continue to order ships from Scottish yards because they are the
:18:33. > :18:40.best place to make them. Alan Little reports from Glasgow.
:18:41. > :18:45.This company has made the periscope for every submarine in the Royal
:18:46. > :18:49.Navy's history. It is now French owned, but the UK Government chose
:18:50. > :18:56.it to argue their case to the European -- the union was good for
:18:57. > :19:03.everybody. Philip Hammond wanted to be positive and to bring no dire
:19:04. > :19:07.warnings of catastrophe. Defeating fascism, fighting communism,
:19:08. > :19:12.building the most successful and enduring democracy in the world and
:19:13. > :19:17.one of the strongest economies. The partnership between our peoples has
:19:18. > :19:20.been an economic, social and military success.
:19:21. > :19:24.But he also said an end to the union would jeopardise the UK Government
:19:25. > :19:31.contracts on which companies like this depend and that touched an
:19:32. > :19:38.increasingly familiar raw nerve. You come up here and you talk about the
:19:39. > :19:44.dire consequences of independence, but I feel aggrieved that you have
:19:45. > :19:49.come up here and you seem to be threatening our jobs will go. Could
:19:50. > :19:54.the UK Government guaranteed the workload of the Scottish defence
:19:55. > :19:57.industry if Scotland voted for independence? The straightforward
:19:58. > :20:03.answer is no. That is not a threat, it is an answer to a question. It
:20:04. > :20:07.illustrates the predicament UK ministers always face when they come
:20:08. > :20:11.here to urge people to vote no. No matter how positive they try to be
:20:12. > :20:15.about what they see as the benefits of the continued union, the loudest
:20:16. > :20:20.message that comes across is both yes and you are risking your
:20:21. > :20:24.livelihood. The yes campaign can make hay with that. The Scottish
:20:25. > :20:29.Government said an independent Scotland would be a fully
:20:30. > :20:33.contributing member of NATO similar to Norway and Denmark. Alex Salmond
:20:34. > :20:38.said the rest of the UK would not sever its links with Scotland's
:20:39. > :20:42.defence industry. And as he has done with George Osborne he accused
:20:43. > :20:47.Philip Hammond of bluffing. Ironically he made his speech in the
:20:48. > :20:51.offices of a French multinational. It exemplifies the fact that defence
:20:52. > :20:55.corporation takes place across countries and that will be the case
:20:56. > :21:01.when Scotland is independent and Philip Hammond knows it. It is the
:21:02. > :21:05.problem UK ministers have faced from the start, how to enter the fray in
:21:06. > :21:08.Scotland without the risk of antagonising more voters than they
:21:09. > :21:11.persuade. Oscar Pistorius's girlfriend told him she loved him in
:21:12. > :21:14.a Valentine's Day card on the day she died. The athlete was asked to
:21:15. > :21:18.read out Reeva Steenkamp's message as his five-day cross examination
:21:19. > :21:21.came to an end. The chief prosecutor summed up by saying that the
:21:22. > :21:25.Paralympian's version of events was "so improbable it can't be true".
:21:26. > :21:28.Pistorius denies murder, saying he thought he was shooting at an
:21:29. > :21:38.intruder. Our Africa correspondent Andrew Harding was in Pretoria.
:21:39. > :21:44.One final morning in the witness box for Oscar Pistorius, soon his fate
:21:45. > :21:47.will be in the hands of others. Five days of relentless cross-examination
:21:48. > :21:53.ended with him trying to explain what was going through his head as
:21:54. > :21:58.he fired his pistol, killing Reeva Steenkamp. I was screaming because I
:21:59. > :22:04.was overcome with terror and despair. You were not screaming at
:22:05. > :22:11.Reeva because she was hiding in the toilet? No, my lady. Pistorius has
:22:12. > :22:17.struggled all week with the question of who is to blame for Reeva
:22:18. > :22:23.Steenkamp's death. We should not blame you, we should blame somebody
:22:24. > :22:28.or something. You should we blame? I am not sure, my lady. The
:22:29. > :22:32.prosecution are battling to prove that Oscar Pistorius killed Reeva
:22:33. > :22:37.Steenkamp on purpose, but I am told they are very confident that they
:22:38. > :22:42.have shown he fired deliberately at the store, intending to kill whoever
:22:43. > :22:46.was hiding behind it. The defence then tried to limit the damage of
:22:47. > :22:50.the past few days asking Pistorius about this, the Valentine's Day card
:22:51. > :22:57.Reeva Steenkamp had given him that night. She says I think today is a
:22:58. > :23:03.good day to tell you that, and then it says, I love you. With that a
:23:04. > :23:09.drained Pistorius left the witness box, his forensic team taking over,
:23:10. > :23:12.seeking to show that the evidence supports his claim it was all a
:23:13. > :23:15.terrible accident. A new lorry design aimed at reducing
:23:16. > :23:18.the number of cyclists killed in collisions with lorries has been
:23:19. > :23:21.approved by the European Parliament. If Westminster agrees to the
:23:22. > :23:23.changes, lorries will have to have bigger windows, round fronts and
:23:24. > :23:27.crumple zones, all to reduce the driver's blindspot which has been
:23:28. > :23:36.blamed for so many deaths. Sian Lloyd reports.
:23:37. > :23:41.The battle to get through the traffic, but for cyclists that
:23:42. > :23:46.battle can cost them their lives. One in five cycle deaths involve
:23:47. > :23:50.lorries. Campaigners have called for design changes to improve safety and
:23:51. > :23:56.this could be the truck of the future. It incorporates new
:23:57. > :24:00.standards approved today by the European Parliament. Rounder cab
:24:01. > :24:06.fronts and bigger windows to tackle the driver's blindspot which can be
:24:07. > :24:11.fatal. Alex McVitie was killed cycling to work when a cement lorry
:24:12. > :24:16.crossed her path. Her mother hopes the new standards will be adopted
:24:17. > :24:20.into British law. To lose a child in that way is absolutely horrific and
:24:21. > :24:28.even more so if you discover it did not need to happen, that there are
:24:29. > :24:33.ways of preventing this. 607 people were seriously injured in accidents
:24:34. > :24:41.involving heavy goods vehicles in 2012. 141 were killed, including
:24:42. > :24:45.three cyclists. We have a forward facing mirror and two driving
:24:46. > :24:51.mirrors. We have a safety camera system. Adrian Ricketts has
:24:52. > :24:57.installed cameras to try to improve the safety on his fleet, but he says
:24:58. > :25:02.cyclists need to be aware of the risks. Stay away from the near side
:25:03. > :25:06.of the trucks. We cannot see you when we have turned left because
:25:07. > :25:15.there is a blindspot. We cannot see you. Warnings like this can help,
:25:16. > :25:20.but it will be years before lorries get a face-lift and that is only if
:25:21. > :25:22.the rules are adopted here. When ill-health stopped the French
:25:23. > :25:26.artist Henri Matisse from painting he began to cut out paper shapes to
:25:27. > :25:30.create stunning collages. Around 130 of them are going on display at Tate
:25:31. > :25:34.Modern in London later this week in one of the largest ever collections
:25:35. > :25:43.of his work. David Sillitoe has been to see them.
:25:44. > :25:48.This is a tease the great master when he was an old man fearing
:25:49. > :25:52.death. He lacked even the strength to pain, but in those painful,
:25:53. > :25:57.sleepless Knights, he began cutting out shapes and it was the beginning
:25:58. > :26:04.of this, a new art form, an explosion of creativity from a man
:26:05. > :26:10.in his 80s, bedbound in his studio. This is his own personal garden. And
:26:11. > :26:16.this is where it began, on the walls of his studio. Some people thought
:26:17. > :26:23.it was all over for him, but he was proving them wrong. Definitely. He
:26:24. > :26:29.was an incredible man who until the very end was inventive. This proves
:26:30. > :26:33.why he was one of the greatest masters of the 20th century. They
:26:34. > :26:37.are such famous images and when you see them in books and from a
:26:38. > :26:43.distance they look so perfect. This allows you to look close up and you
:26:44. > :26:47.can see the jagged edges, a reminder of how he worked, with those big
:26:48. > :26:54.shears, cutting the paper out very quickly. The idea of seizing an
:26:55. > :26:58.enormous pair of scissors and slicing up bits of paper was a
:26:59. > :27:03.revolutionary thing to do and people could not taken seriously at all.
:27:04. > :27:09.They thought poor old Mattis had lost it. How wrong they were. 60
:27:10. > :27:15.years on we can see the full scale of his late flowering, an Indian
:27:16. > :27:19.summer, a celebration of his life. Fabulous, aren't they?
:27:20. > :27:24.Now it is time for a look at the weather.
:27:25. > :27:32.It has been a fabulous day, but as soon as the sun sets the
:27:33. > :27:37.temperatures will drop like a stone and it is a particularly cold night
:27:38. > :27:44.before April. Rural areas are close to freezing in many places. A touch
:27:45. > :27:49.of frost first thing in the morning. But it will be another dazzling
:27:50. > :27:54.start to the day's sunshine. For most of us it will be more of the
:27:55. > :28:00.same, but in Northern Ireland and Scotland it is a different story.
:28:01. > :28:05.Outbreaks of rain should arrive in the north-west of Scotland and
:28:06. > :28:10.Northern Ireland. Further south it is another beautiful day with hardly
:28:11. > :28:15.a cloud in the sky. On the coastal areas there will be a cooling
:28:16. > :28:22.breeze. Art into the high teens in a number of places. 17 and 18 in some
:28:23. > :28:28.spots, but for Northern Ireland and Scotland it will be a cooler day. We
:28:29. > :28:31.will have more breeze and cloud and some wet rain getting into the West
:28:32. > :28:38.of Scotland by the end of the afternoon. There could be rain well
:28:39. > :28:43.in advance of that through tomorrow evening. But as it slips its way
:28:44. > :28:50.southwards they tend to fade away, so the odd bit of rain by Thursday.
:28:51. > :28:56.But a lot of rain pushing its way southwards on Thursday. Behind that
:28:57. > :29:00.are brighter and cooler conditions. One last day across the South East
:29:01. > :29:05.and some places could hit 20 degrees. For the Easter weekend we
:29:06. > :29:11.start off OK, but an increasing threat of outbreaks of heavy rain
:29:12. > :29:16.for some of us later on in the week. Too good to last.
:29:17. > :29:20.Our main story tonight: As Ukraine launches military action against
:29:21. > :29:24.pro-Russian gunmen in the east, President Putin calls for the West
:29:25. > :29:26.to condemn it. Now it is time
