Hello, I am Nick Gowing with BBC World News, our top stories: Crimea | :00:07. | :00:14. | |
becomes Ukraine's next potential flash point, Russian flags fly over | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
government buildings, armed men seize the regional parliament. | :00:19. | :00:25. | |
Ukraine's acting president warns Russia against aggression. As the | :00:26. | :00:32. | |
crisis deepens, the former president asks Moscow to guarantee his safety, | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
according to reports emerging from Russia. And the Governor of Arizona | :00:36. | :00:41. | |
vetoes a bill that would have allowed American business owners to | :00:42. | :00:42. | |
turn away customers for being gay. Hello, everyone. A series of | :00:43. | :01:07. | |
fast-moving events in Ukraine. The interim government has put domestic | :01:08. | :01:09. | |
security forces on high alert at the government buildings in Crimea, part | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
of Ukraine, was seized overnight by armed men wearing Russian colours. | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
The Russian flag now flies over the regional parliament building in the | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
capital, Simferopol. The Crimea is a potential flash point, because | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
although part of Ukraine, it is also home to the Russian naval fleet, a | :01:28. | :01:34. | |
massive based on the back-seat in Sevastopol -- a massive based on the | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
Black Sea in Sevastopol. There is a large Russian population as well. | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
And now a new twist, reports from official Russian news agencies | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
signal that Viktor Yanukovych is in Russia after he fled rapidly on | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
Friday. He insists he is still Ukraine's rightful head of state. | :01:52. | :01:58. | |
What has happened in Simferopol, the capital of Crimea? Mark Lowen is | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
there the Russian flag now flies above the Crimean parliament here in | :02:03. | :02:04. | |
Simferopol. We understand that overnight around | :02:05. | :02:11. | |
50 unidentified and gunmen forced their way inside the parliament | :02:12. | :02:21. | |
building, passed those barricades. -- armed gunmen. There is a | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
negotiation under way. If we swing around, you can see that outside the | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
building some pro-Russian demonstrators have gathered. They | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
were further down the square, they pushed through police lines, waving | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
flights, and then they came outside the parliament building here, which | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
was previously cordoned off by police. They are chanting the word | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
Russia. They are saying they have waited for this moment for 20 years, | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
that they want a united Russia. This is, of course, the biggest challenge | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
for the new Ukrainian government. These people they that illegitimate | :02:59. | :03:00. | |
protesters seized the government in Ukraine and they say they intend to | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
do exactly the same now here in Crimea. | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
The situation in Ukraine is the focus of a long planned NATO defence | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
ministers' meeting in Brussels. And as Rasmussen expressed the | :03:17. | :03:18. | |
Alliance's concerns about developments in Crimea specifically | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
this morning. -- Anders Fogh Rasmussen. He urged Russia not to | :03:23. | :03:29. | |
take any action which could create tension. We wish to continue our | :03:30. | :03:37. | |
engagement and confirm our support to Ukraine on the path of democratic | :03:38. | :03:44. | |
and inclusive reforms. We see Defence Reform Bill and military | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
co-operation as key priorities. -- defence reform. We stand ready to | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
support Ukraine as it strengthens democratic control over the defence | :03:55. | :04:03. | |
sector with effective Parliamentary oversight and the robust involvement | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
of civil society. Ukraine is and remains an important partner for | :04:11. | :04:21. | |
NATO. NATO is and remains a friend of Ukraine. And a sovereign, stable | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
and independent Ukraine firmly committed to democracy and the rule | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
of law is and remains the two security. This is why I am extremely | :04:31. | :04:43. | |
concerned by the most recent developments in Crimea. -- remains | :04:44. | :04:51. | |
key to security. This morning's action by an armed group is | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
dangerous and irresponsible. I urge Russia not to take any action that | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
could create tension or misunderstanding. I urge the new | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
Ukrainian leadership to continue its efforts to establish and inclusive | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
political process that reflects the democratic aspirations of the entire | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
Ukrainian people. -- an. Meanwhile, Viktor Yanukovych, until Friday the | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
president of Ukraine, has appeared in print and verbally on television | :05:22. | :05:28. | |
in Russia, saying that he still views himself as the President of | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
Ukraine and Russia has guaranteed his personal safety from actions of | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
what he called the extremists who seized power in Ukraine. This is | :05:37. | :05:43. | |
being quoted by an official Russian government news agency. I asked | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
Bridget Kendall in Moscow what to make of this statement from | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
Ukraine's apparently deposed president, Yanukovych. The statement | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
from Viktor Yanukovych, which was released simultaneously to the three | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
main Russian news agencies and read out on the rolling news TV channel, | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
in which he said he still considers himself Ukraine's legal head of | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
state, and he believes the sessions taking place in the Ukrainian | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
parliament and the decisions they are passing are not legal. And he | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
also said, given, as he put it, extremists had seized power, he had | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
asked Russia for protection, and separately the Russian news agency | :06:23. | :06:24. | |
said they had spoken to sources who said he had had that request | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
granted, which certainly seems to be the case if this statement is being | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
read out over Russian airwaves. He did go on to say that he thought | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
people in southern and eastern Ukraine, in the Crimea, would not | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
accept what the government in Kiev was doing, and therefore he was | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
prepared to step in and work for a compromise according to the | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
agreement he signed with the opposition and Western powers. He | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
seems to be speaking from an unknown location. We assume it is on Russian | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
territory, although his exact whereabouts have not been made | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
clear. What is your reading therefore of the fact that this has | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
emerged through one of the official government news agencies and is | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
quoting him directly? Where does this mean Russia is aligning | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
itself, and what position is Russia taking with the former president, | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
although he says he is still the president? It feels like a pretty | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
significant development. There was a lot of speculation about whether or | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
not Russia would even access him. In fact, a senior Russian | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
parliamentarian in the upper chamber of the Russian parliament only | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
yesterday said, no, Yanukovych was not on Russian soil and he thought | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
it very unlikely that Russia would give him sanctuary. And yet here he | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
is, not only apparently in Russia, being given protection by the | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
Russian authorities, but having his statement that he thinks the | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
authorities in Ukraine are illegitimate read out on Russian | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
airwaves. It is not just the Russian news agency which has released this, | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
Nick, it was read out on Russian television. So it seems, given that, | :07:56. | :08:03. | |
to have some of the authority of the Russian state behind it, these are | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
state-controlled channels and agencies. Quite what it means in the | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
battle that is going on over who should be in control and what should | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
happen in Ukraine is difficult to read, but it is slightly ominous, | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
given the events in Crimea this morning, these armed men who have | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
taken over the parliament and the government in Crimea, not saying | :08:23. | :08:30. | |
very much, but clearly putting up a Russian flag, taking the side of | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
Russian speakers in Crimea. We do not know if these events are linked, | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
but it does seem quite odd that the former Ukrainian President, who, | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
let's face it, has been denounced all over the place, including here | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
in Russia, should suddenly be given airspace on Russian television. | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
Regional and international fears are mounting about that part of Ukraine. | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
It is one in which Moscow has long had a massive strategic interest, | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
and there it is down here, Crimea. When the Soviet Union broke up in | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
1991 and Ukraine became independent, in Sevastopol, Russia retained | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
basing rights for its enormous Black Sea fleet. It has sovereign rights | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
there. In the capital, Simferopol, confirmation that those officers | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
have been seized, and there is an ominous question - how might Russia | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
decides to defend its interests in Ukraine? Remember, in the last 24 | :09:27. | :09:33. | |
hours, 150,000 troops have gone on exercises and drills right around | :09:34. | :09:39. | |
the Western district here. There are combat aircraft confirmed as flying | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
in this area, and there are the rights to deploy anything they want | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
down into that enormous naval base in Sevastopol. The BBC correspondent | :09:47. | :09:53. | |
is in Kiev, how are developments down there in Crimea and more widely | :09:54. | :10:00. | |
from Russia being seen there? Well, it seems that the atmosphere here in | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
CF, in the Ukrainian parliament, but also here in Independence Square, | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
people are quite nervous, waiting for news. Russia said it would not | :10:12. | :10:18. | |
intervene any political crisis in Ukraine, but at the same time | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
Russian state media were detecting the situation is almost a military | :10:22. | :10:27. | |
turndown in Ukraine, and that is why it now seems there are concerns that | :10:28. | :10:33. | |
Russia was preparing the soil to step in, to move. Ukraine is a | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
massive country of 46 million people, and enormous pace. Even if | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
they have mobilised 150,000 troops for a drill, and exercise, what | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
about this particular problem that Ukraine has, which those Russian | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
troops in Sevastopol, inside the naval base, which can be | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
supplemented, do have a legitimate right to be there? Yes, they do have | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
a legitimate right to be there, moreover they have a legitimate | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
right to move around Crimea, and let me point your attention to the fact | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
that the troops, which are stationed there, and troops which are | :11:12. | :11:13. | |
stationed close to that side from the Russian border are one of the | :11:14. | :11:20. | |
best forces that Russia has. Russian Navy SEALs are one of the best | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
trained and one of the well equipped parts of the Russian army. Order if | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
she never there in Kiev. -- order -- Olga Ivhsina. | :11:30. | :11:43. | |
The explosion outside the headquarters of the security | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
services in the capital, a BBC correspondent gave me this reading | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
of the security situation in Mogadishu, which has seen a sudden | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
increase in attacks recently. Yes, exactly, and it has been coming | :11:58. | :12:04. | |
back in the past few weeks. Today a car was driven with explosives to a | :12:05. | :12:11. | |
cafe near the headquarters of the Somali intelligence services, one of | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
the heavily fortified areas, and they have attacked the area, and | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
several people, including some of the intelligence forces, were killed | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
in the attack. Some few days ago, a daring attack was launched on the | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
presidential palace in Somalia, where senior people, including | :12:30. | :12:32. | |
government officials, were killed. So these kind of attacks are | :12:33. | :12:34. | |
becoming normal in Mogadishu nowadays, despite two years of a | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
lull after the withdrawal of Al-Shabab, where the attacks had | :12:40. | :12:45. | |
been not this rampant all coming back like this. | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
Off the coast of Italy, the captain of the Costa Concordia cruise ship | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
has returned for the first time to the vessel he is accused of | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
abandoning as it ran aground off the Italian coast. Francesco Schettino | :13:00. | :13:02. | |
is accused of manslaughter over the deaths of 32 passengers and crew. | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
Off the coast of the island of Giglio, the wreck of Costa Concordia | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
was righted in a massive and extraordinary salvage operation last | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
autumn, but it still lies there. Alan Johnston is there. | :13:17. | :13:23. | |
Captain Francesco Schettino is a board that little boat, a sad figure | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
in dark glasses with slicked back hair. He has joined a group of | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
experts, court-appointed, who have been sent out to the wreck to | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
examine evidence in connection with the captain's manslaughter trial, | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
which has been unfolding on the mainland for some months now. On the | :13:41. | :13:46. | |
night of the disaster, Captain Schettino is accused of having | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
abandoned his ship when hundreds of passengers were still aboard, | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
struggling to reach the safety of lifeboats. A furious coastguard | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
commanded again and again, ordered him to get back on the ship, but he | :13:58. | :14:04. | |
refused. Now at last, as you watch, the captain is at last making his | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
return journey to the Costa Concordia. That boat will take him | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
into the battered flank of the wreck, and then we would expect him | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
to go up to the bridge area, his command post, that he last saw amid | :14:17. | :14:22. | |
the chaos of the sinking on that tragic night when more than 30 | :14:23. | :14:30. | |
people died in these waters. Alan Johnston there alongside the | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
wreck of the Costa Concordia. Stay with us here on BBC World News, | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
still to come: The Oscars are this weekend, we look at a film that | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
examines love and betrayal in Israel and the Palestinian territories. | :14:44. | :14:52. | |
The Miracle of Third Avenue, that's what they're calling a baby born on | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
the pavement in the heart of New York. Her British mother had just | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
gone into labour, and was standing outside her home, trying to get a | :15:01. | :15:06. | |
taxi to the hospital. Nick Bryant reports from New York. | :15:07. | :15:15. | |
Say hello. Oh, my goodness. The latest attraction in New York, a | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
beautiful baby dubbed a miracle, now safely in her British mother's arms | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
after being delivered in the gutter. Realising she was in labour, Polly | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
tried to hail a cab with the help of a friendly dormant. The start of a | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
future Matic minutes in New York. A lady walked ahead and hailed a cab. | :15:36. | :15:44. | |
I said, I want that cap. This New York nativity scene was captured by | :15:45. | :15:47. | |
a passing newsgroup which watched as Polly gave birth at the start of the | :15:48. | :15:54. | |
rush hour. Stuck in traffic, her husband arrived moments later. | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
I knew instantly it was Polly. I feared the worst, she had been | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
knocked down. The bitterest of New York winters and onlookers started | :16:05. | :16:10. | |
taking off their clothes to keep the newborn baby born. One woman offered | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
up her coat. They have lost her phone number but will always | :16:15. | :16:21. | |
remember her name. You have given her that middle name. Her middle | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
name is now Isabel. We are very happy with it. The baby is oblivious | :16:28. | :16:37. | |
to her fame and surroundings in a city that supposedly never sleeps. | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
Nasa's planet-hunting telescope has found 715 new planets outside our | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
solar system.. This is a huge new haul for scientists using the Kepler | :16:47. | :16:49. | |
telescope. Part of the significance of the latest discoveries is that | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
they are similar in size to earth and could support water in liquid | :16:54. | :16:54. | |
form. This is BBC World News. The latest | :16:55. | :17:06. | |
headlines. Armed gunmen have seized the | :17:07. | :17:09. | |
regional parliament in Crimea, as Ukraine's acting president warns | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
Russia against military aggression. In a statement issued to Russian | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
news agencies, the former president Viktor Yanukovych has asked Moscow | :17:17. | :17:18. | |
to guarantee his safety. The governor of the US state of | :17:19. | :17:28. | |
Arizona has vetoed a draft law to allow businesses to refuse to serve | :17:29. | :17:31. | |
gay people on religious grounds. Governor Jan Brewer, who's | :17:32. | :17:33. | |
Republican, is blocking legislation proposed by members of her own | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
party. It would have given business owners legal protection if they | :17:38. | :17:39. | |
refused to serve same-sex couples, or any other prospective customers. | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
Similar initiatives have been proposed in six other American | :17:45. | :17:51. | |
states. None has yet been passed. Alastair Leithead has more. | :17:52. | :18:00. | |
These are the protesters outside the state capital in Arizona, | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
celebrating a decision by the Governor Jan Brewer not to allow a | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
bill into law. She announced in this letter to the press she would be | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
vetoing a bill which had come through the legislature, landed on | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
her desk, and the reason behind that is that this bill was seen by | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
opponents as being homophobic. In there, it was essentially designed | :18:23. | :18:28. | |
to try and be inclusive in terms of religion, to allow businesses who | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
did not want to serve people who went against their religion, to do | :18:33. | :18:38. | |
that without fear of being taken to court. Now, of course, that would | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
mean people decided they did not want to send someone who is gay, | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
they would be protected in law -- to serve. That is why there has been | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
such an outcry from gay rights protesters, and the Chamber of | :18:54. | :19:01. | |
Commerce who said this would be seen as a law that would be | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
discriminatory. As a result, they didn't want this to be passed. She | :19:07. | :19:12. | |
mulled it over, spent the day in the capital speaking to both sides, then | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
came out saying this bill would be vetoed and would not go into law. | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
One of a number of states where these bills have been in progress | :19:21. | :19:25. | |
but which have been defeated, which protesters are pleased about. | :19:26. | :19:28. | |
It's not long until the Oscars. The 86th Academy Awards take place in | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
Hollywood this weekend. As ever, the foreign film category will be | :19:35. | :19:36. | |
contested by films which deal with some rather gripping issues. One | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
foreign film nominated is the Palestinian film Omar. It tackles | :19:40. | :19:42. | |
the highly sensitive subject of Palestinians who collaborate with | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
Israel. Yolande Knell reports. Omar brings the complexities of the | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
Middle East conflict to this year's Oscars. The Palestinian contender | :19:52. | :19:57. | |
for the Best Foreign Language Film is a love story that becomes a | :19:58. | :20:04. | |
tragedy. After three young Palestinians decide to kill an | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
Israeli soldier, the main character is arrested and beaten. He then | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
comes under pressure to work as a collaborator with Israeli | :20:13. | :20:19. | |
intelligence. The plot turns on betrayals and breakdowns in trust. | :20:20. | :20:27. | |
TRANSLATION: The cinema is used by the director to show one of the | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
issues that Palestinian people have faced. How they deal with betrayals, | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
how the Israeli intelligence works on our young men and puts pressure | :20:38. | :20:43. | |
on them to tell their secrets. Over the decades, the security | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
forces in Israel have relied on information from thousands of | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
Palestinian collaborators. Collaborators can be recruited in | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
different ways. Through coercion, or in exchange for money or medical | :20:56. | :21:01. | |
treatment. Some work for Israel for ideological reasons. But the risks | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
they run are high. They can be disowned by their families, or | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
killed if they are discovered. They are hated by Palestinian society. | :21:10. | :21:17. | |
Many former collaborators now live a precarious existence in Israel. One | :21:18. | :21:22. | |
is beating his lawyer to press for his rights. He is from Hebron in the | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
West Bank and is related to a senior Palestinian political figure. 20 | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
years ago, he was imprisoned in Israel and become an -- became an | :21:32. | :21:37. | |
informant. TRANSLATION: Lee contributed a lot | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
to the existence of the state of Israel. It is very dangerous. There | :21:42. | :21:47. | |
is no way back once you are involved. | :21:48. | :21:54. | |
Now, Omar is exposing an international audience to this to be | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
subject. But it's not the only recent movie to take it on. This | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
acclaimed Israeli film Bethlehem also tells the tale of an Israeli | :22:04. | :22:08. | |
secret services agent and his young Palestinian informant. The divided | :22:09. | :22:14. | |
loyalties and moral dilemmas make collaborating so painful to discuss | :22:15. | :22:17. | |
in real life, and bake for gripping drama on the big screen. -- make. | :22:18. | :22:24. | |
In India, efforts are being stepped up to find a man-eating tiger which | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
has claimed the lives of ten people. Most of those who died have been | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
farm workers. But, six weeks after the tiger first struck, hunters are | :22:34. | :22:36. | |
no closer to catching it. Andrew North has been out with one of the | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
hunting teams who are on the trail of the tiger. | :22:41. | :22:46. | |
Getting ready to hunt a man eating tiger. With a licence to kill. The | :22:47. | :22:56. | |
authorities have called in a veteran of more than 40 hunts of big cats | :22:57. | :23:03. | |
which have gone rogue. The tiger he and his team are tracking has | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
already killed ten people. In the village where it last struck, life | :23:09. | :23:15. | |
has come to a virtual standstill. After one man was eaten alive while | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
working in the fields. TRANSLATION: We are living in terror now, even if | :23:21. | :23:26. | |
we -- we see a leaf shape on a tree. They have got to kill the tiger. | :23:27. | :23:31. | |
Tigers do not naturally go after humans. Around the big hillside | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
preserved by this latest man eater is from, the attacks are becoming | :23:36. | :23:41. | |
more common as humans press in. The tiger has often been hiding inside | :23:42. | :23:44. | |
dense fields of sugar cane like this. Even if you feet inside, it is | :23:45. | :23:50. | |
impossible to see anything. Until it is too late, and many of the victims | :23:51. | :23:57. | |
of the tiger have been farm workers. This area is literally covered with | :23:58. | :24:04. | |
dense sugar cane fields. The hunters carry on into the night, using a | :24:05. | :24:11. | |
powerful search beam. Then, they see something. There is movement on the | :24:12. | :24:18. | |
riverbed. But it is not a tiger. A jackal. The next morning, though, a | :24:19. | :24:27. | |
new lead, they have found fresh tiger tracks. Early morning today at | :24:28. | :24:33. | |
5:30am, we became aware of this tiger from the alarm calls given | :24:34. | :24:39. | |
out. They will work out it is -- if it is the man eater using plaster | :24:40. | :24:45. | |
casts of the Prince. This conflict is only likely to grow as humans | :24:46. | :24:53. | |
encroach on territory. 15 years back, forest cover was much bigger. | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
You take somebody's home away, where will it go? It becomes a hobo. With | :24:59. | :25:07. | |
a tiger still on the loose, everyone is on edge, it has a taste for human | :25:08. | :25:11. | |
flesh, which means it is likely to come back for more. | :25:12. | :25:17. | |
An update on our report, the South Korean Defence Ministry says North | :25:18. | :25:27. | |
Korea has fired for short range missiles towards the sea off the | :25:28. | :25:33. | |
east coast of the country. Officials have said they were fired at | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
5:42pm, from a mountainside just north of the border with the South. | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
They provided no information on the reason for the firing. More on that | :25:43. | :25:54. | |
as we get it. And in the Ukraine, the Prime Minister designate has | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
insisted the country will remain a unified country. While expressing | :25:59. | :26:02. | |
concern at the arms seizure of official buildings in Crimea with | :26:03. | :26:08. | |
Russian flag being raised. We are committed to the territorial | :26:09. | :26:15. | |
integrity and unity of my country. And, the new government will do | :26:16. | :26:22. | |
everything, and use all legal means, to stabilise the situation in | :26:23. | :26:28. | |
Crimea. And to convince the entire world, and all Ukrainian | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
neighbours, that Ukraine is a sovereign, united country. | :26:34. | :26:39. | |
Just to tell you, there is evidence of something happening more around | :26:40. | :26:46. | |
Sevastopol in the Crimea, this report saying the former president, | :26:47. | :26:54. | |
President Yanukovych, has been quoted by official news agencies as | :26:55. | :26:59. | |
saying he is still in charge and he blames extremists for introducing | :27:00. | :26:59. | |
instability. | :27:00. | :27:02. |
