:00:16. > :00:18.the Taliban prisoner swap that allowed US soldier to walk free, the

:00:19. > :00:28.American Defence Secretary tells the BBC they had to act quickly to save

:00:29. > :00:33.Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl. It was our judgment that his life and health

:00:34. > :00:37.were in peril. Canadian police are hunting a gunman after three

:00:38. > :00:43.officers were killed in a shooting. In Ireland, the Catholic Church has

:00:44. > :00:47.told an order of nuns to co-operate with any enquiry over the death of

:00:48. > :00:53.800 children found in a mass grave on their premises. How deep are the

:00:54. > :00:57.divisions in Ukraine? We speak to the man who is chairman of the

:00:58. > :01:09.Donetsk People's Republic to find out.

:01:10. > :01:24.Hello. Bowe Bergdahl is free at last. The hometown of Sergeant Bowe

:01:25. > :01:28.Bergdahl, the man held by the Taliban after five years in

:01:29. > :01:31.captivity, has called off a rally to celebrate his homecoming. There is

:01:32. > :01:36.growing controversy over the exchange deal which led to his

:01:37. > :01:42.release. Several former Army colleagues claimed he had deserted

:01:43. > :01:43.his post in Afghanistan. Speaking exclusively to the BBC,

:01:44. > :01:48.his post in Afghanistan. Speaking Chuck Hagel has defended the

:01:49. > :01:54.decision to go ahead with the two serial -- the deal without going to

:01:55. > :01:59.Congress. We do not leave people behind. How circumstances why the

:02:00. > :02:03.disappearance, the Army has already addressed that and it will get to

:02:04. > :02:08.that. These are strong people and they are reassured and thankful that

:02:09. > :02:14.their son is safe. They are prepared to help do everything they can to

:02:15. > :02:19.get him put back together. American senators were briefed last night.

:02:20. > :02:22.Many are still not convinced. What is the urgency? What made you do

:02:23. > :02:29.without going to Congress and saying, we want to give you a heads

:02:30. > :02:31.up? I cannot get into all the specifics of the details, the

:02:32. > :02:39.intelligence and the information. We are doing that will stop we had

:02:40. > :02:44.three hearings yesterday dashed not hearings dashed back meetings, with

:02:45. > :02:49.all members of the Senate. Senior staff members will follow on with

:02:50. > :02:55.this next week. We are being completely transparent where we need

:02:56. > :03:01.to be. Can we know what the health issue was? We will get to all those

:03:02. > :03:05.questions. I am going to answer your bigger question. There is a lot of

:03:06. > :03:12.classified information on how we got him out, when we got him out,

:03:13. > :03:16.methods used. These are important classified documents. We are sharing

:03:17. > :03:21.these things in classified forms with appropriate committees. To your

:03:22. > :03:25.bigger question, why now? It is our judgment based on the information we

:03:26. > :03:33.had that his life, his health, were in peril. It has been reported from

:03:34. > :03:37.Nigeria that Boko Haram militants dressed as soldiers have killed at

:03:38. > :03:41.least 200 civilians in the north-east of the country. The group

:03:42. > :03:45.wants to establish an Islamic state in Nigeria. The massacres happened

:03:46. > :03:48.on Monday. An unnamed community leader who witnessed the killing

:03:49. > :03:52.said residents have been warned about the attacks and pleaded for

:03:53. > :03:58.the military to send soldiers. He said no help arrived. Three

:03:59. > :04:03.communities were attacked in this incident, which was also confirmed

:04:04. > :04:11.by a security official in the state capital. Two islands now, as the

:04:12. > :04:15.Catholic Church has told an order of nuns they must co-operate with any

:04:16. > :04:19.enquiry into the discovery of the remains of nearly 800 children in an

:04:20. > :04:26.unmarked grave. The grave was first discovered some 40 years ago in the

:04:27. > :04:30.grounds of a former home for unmarried mothers. It is thought at

:04:31. > :04:36.that time the children had died join the great famine of the 1840s.

:04:37. > :04:41.Research now points to an incident around the 20th century. The Virgin

:04:42. > :04:45.Mary looks down on the spot where the mass grave was found. On the

:04:46. > :04:51.grounds of a former home for unmarried mothers, run by nuns who

:04:52. > :04:55.belong to the Catholic Church. The grave was originally found almost 40

:04:56. > :05:00.years ago. Then people were told it contained the remains of those who

:05:01. > :05:06.had died during the great famine. These two men remember the day they

:05:07. > :05:16.made the grim discovery. We cracked it open and there it was. Babies

:05:17. > :05:20.eight or nine feet deep. Symantec it is hard to describe. We did not

:05:21. > :05:27.realise the magnitude of what was going on at the time. New research

:05:28. > :05:33.by a local historian has found a grave in fact contain the bodies of

:05:34. > :05:37.almost 800 babies and children, who were buried inside a septic tank.

:05:38. > :05:44.The children were aged between two days and nine years old. They died

:05:45. > :05:50.between 19251961. Death records showed most of the children died of

:05:51. > :05:55.sickness or disease. We cannot really judge the past from our point

:05:56. > :05:58.of view. All we can do is market appropriately and make sure there is

:05:59. > :06:05.a suitable place where people can come and remember the babies that

:06:06. > :06:07.died here. This is the latest in a string of troubling abuse

:06:08. > :06:11.allegations against the Catholic Church. Campaigners are calling for

:06:12. > :06:15.a full public enquiry. The Government says they are taking the

:06:16. > :06:24.allegations over this case very seriously. There is a view towards

:06:25. > :06:30.ensuring we can get to the bottom of this harrowing issue. It is a matter

:06:31. > :06:33.of great public disquiet and upset. The local community is now trying to

:06:34. > :06:43.raise funds for a permanent memorial. Let's get some more on

:06:44. > :06:46.this. We can go to Dublin and speak to our journalist. Thank you for

:06:47. > :06:52.joining us. We heard Father Monaghan saying, we cannot judge the past

:06:53. > :06:58.through our own modern lens. Is that how people are perceiving it in

:06:59. > :07:03.Ireland? There has been a whole spate over the last two decades of

:07:04. > :07:07.inquiries into a legacy of abuse in institutions which were under the

:07:08. > :07:11.control of church orders. What happened in Ireland after

:07:12. > :07:16.independence was that the state handed over authority for a variety

:07:17. > :07:22.of care homes and institutions where vulnerable people were living to

:07:23. > :07:26.religious orders. What went on at some of these institutions was

:07:27. > :07:30.nothing short of torture - horrendous conditions. People are

:07:31. > :07:38.aware of this thing for quite some time. The discovery of something

:07:39. > :07:42.like 800 bodies in a septic tank has brought great shock. The fact they

:07:43. > :07:47.were in a septic tank would suggest this is something way more recent

:07:48. > :07:51.than the famine times. Also, what nature of burial to these children

:07:52. > :07:57.get why were they treated with such disdain by those who are caring for

:07:58. > :08:01.them? These issues be looked at. Church officials are saying they

:08:02. > :08:05.would agree with the exclamation of these bodies to try and find out

:08:06. > :08:14.exactly what happened to the children. -- be digging up of these

:08:15. > :08:21.bodies. The Archbishop of Dublin has said that he wants all

:08:22. > :08:26.investigations to look into what exactly happened here. The church

:08:27. > :08:34.has undergone something of a revolution. We see it with the

:08:35. > :08:39.election of Pope Francis now. Because of what has happened, the

:08:40. > :08:47.two men to secrets of the past had to be covered up. -- the tremendous

:08:48. > :08:53.secrets. There is a very strong desire for this kind of thing to be

:08:54. > :08:59.investigated. The status of the Church has been severely diminished

:09:00. > :09:04.by the scandal. No surprise that leading Church figures are demanding

:09:05. > :09:08.that should be a proper enquiry into what happened and what would appear

:09:09. > :09:17.to be a particularly graphic example of these type practices. Thank you

:09:18. > :09:21.very much. Police in the small Canadian town of Monkton are asking

:09:22. > :09:27.for a gunman who shot dead three of their colleagues. The incident began

:09:28. > :09:33.in New Brunswick at around 7:30pm as police responded to reports of an

:09:34. > :09:38.unarmed man on the street -- an armed man on the street. Residents

:09:39. > :09:43.have been told to stay indoors and not approach the gunman, who is in

:09:44. > :09:52.camouflage gear, and carrying at least two guns. Our reporter gave us

:09:53. > :09:55.the latest. At this point, there are still many police officers on the

:09:56. > :10:02.scene in the surrounding areas and provinces. All on the ground, trying

:10:03. > :10:11.to track down the gunman, who was last seen in a small subdivision. As

:10:12. > :10:17.you mentioned, it is virtually locked down. There is no access to

:10:18. > :10:22.the neighbourhood. At this point, they are trying to flush out where

:10:23. > :10:27.he might be hiding and has been hiding out for several hours. This

:10:28. > :10:34.has been going on since approximately 7:30pm local time. At

:10:35. > :10:40.this point, police are anxiously trying to find the suspect. We have

:10:41. > :10:45.not heard any updates. The last thing we heard was from the police

:10:46. > :10:49.approximately 45 minutes ago. They posted on Twitter they are still

:10:50. > :10:56.searching and asking people to stay in their homes and lock their doors

:10:57. > :11:00.and to call police if they happen to notice the gunman out. He is quite

:11:01. > :11:14.noticeable. A picture was released of him earlier. I have heard

:11:15. > :11:17.comparisons to Rambo. Wearing camouflage and carrying rifles.

:11:18. > :11:24.Quite a stark image and the tragic night. Now to the summit that should

:11:25. > :11:28.have been the G8 and ended up as a G7, of course, because of the

:11:29. > :11:35.exclusion of leading a Putin. Instead of being in Sochi as guests

:11:36. > :11:39.of Vladimir Putin, it is taking place in Brussels. The G7 leaders

:11:40. > :11:43.have issued a joint statement already saying they are ready to

:11:44. > :11:47.intensify targeted sanctions against Russia is Moscow does not help to

:11:48. > :11:51.ease the tensions in eastern Ukraine. Those measures would come

:11:52. > :11:58.on top of the sanctions already imposed on Russian officials,

:11:59. > :12:00.institutions and individuals. President Putin was not sharing

:12:01. > :12:09.breakfast with otherworldly lives. That does not mean he is altogether

:12:10. > :12:11.absent from dinner plans. President Francois Hollande is expected to

:12:12. > :12:14.meet President Putin for dinner in Paris.

:12:15. > :12:18.Francois Hollande is expected to meet President Putin This is what

:12:19. > :12:23.the commissioner had to say about the formal exclusion of Russia and

:12:24. > :12:27.the meeting is planned with Mr Putin once the summit closes. We are for

:12:28. > :12:33.dialogue and not for confrontation. We are keeping a dialogue with

:12:34. > :12:37.Russia which is important. We must accept Russia as a like-minded

:12:38. > :12:43.partner in a forum of democracies like the G8 and the G7. It is very

:12:44. > :12:48.powerful we cannot accept Russia of Vladimir Putin as legitimate member

:12:49. > :12:53.of the G8. We are keeping our ways of dialogue to redeem and with

:12:54. > :12:57.Russia because we have to recognise that Russia is necessary to find a

:12:58. > :13:03.solution for the issues that are important for our continent,

:13:04. > :13:08.including the important and dramatic issue of Ukraine. Some meetings will

:13:09. > :13:13.still go ahead in Paris between Mr Putin and his British and French

:13:14. > :13:17.counterparts, we understand. For more on this, I spoke to our

:13:18. > :13:23.correspondent in Moscow and asked whether the Kremlin was ready to

:13:24. > :13:28.shift its stance. It is certainly a leadership that is hoping they may

:13:29. > :13:33.be able to defuse the situation. They want to do this without giving

:13:34. > :13:37.anything away. They want the Western powers to recognise the fact that

:13:38. > :13:41.Crimea is effectively part of Russia and they want the Western powers,

:13:42. > :13:47.when it comes to eastern Ukraine, to persuade the Government in Kiev to

:13:48. > :13:54.give the people in eastern Ukraine the rights. They believe the people

:13:55. > :14:00.of eastern Ukraine are asking for more rights, rights of autonomy at

:14:01. > :14:05.least from Kiev. It is not necessarily about a shift but a hope

:14:06. > :14:10.that the dialogue will lead things more in their direction. Do not

:14:11. > :14:18.forget this summit was supposed to be taking place in Sochi. It was

:14:19. > :14:23.supposed to be a G8 Summit in Sochi and has turned into a G7 summit with

:14:24. > :14:28.President Putin hanging around on the sidelines the day before the

:14:29. > :14:32.D-Day commemorations. One of the demands was to Paul the troops away

:14:33. > :14:37.from the border. There has been a withdrawal of some troops, do you

:14:38. > :14:42.expect that to continue? I am not sure. There has been a significant

:14:43. > :14:48.withdrawal of troops. Russia said it in a way that was convincing and we

:14:49. > :14:55.saw it actually happening. There are more troops there than the

:14:56. > :14:57.Ukrainians and made to feel comfortable with. The thing that

:14:58. > :15:02.people are really uncomfortable with at the moment is how porous the

:15:03. > :15:06.border is from the Russian side. How many pro-Russian support fighters

:15:07. > :15:09.are going over and supporting the insurgency in eastern Ukraine and

:15:10. > :15:21.that is what everyone is asking the Russians to stop at the moment. Why

:15:22. > :15:23.more and more wealthy Chinese tourists are abandoning beaches back

:15:24. > :15:30.home for exotic destinations abroad. It's just a week now until the 2014

:15:31. > :15:34.World Cup kicks off in Brazil. A set piece event

:15:35. > :15:36.like this should be a big morale But discontent rules

:15:37. > :15:47.on the streets of Brazil. A new survey by the Pew Research

:15:48. > :15:50.Center suggests the majority of Brazilians are not satisfied

:15:51. > :15:52.with their country's direction. And some believe

:15:53. > :15:55.the World Cup is diverting resources The BBC's David Botti takes

:15:56. > :16:13.a look at the survey's findings. Nearly three quarters of Brazilians

:16:14. > :16:19.aren't happy with their country's direction. A big number for sure,

:16:20. > :16:25.but check this out. It has leapt from 55% just a year ago. People's

:16:26. > :16:29.top-rated concerns with things like rising prices, crime, health care

:16:30. > :16:36.and political corruption. These have long been sources of frustration,

:16:37. > :16:40.but the research characterised today's discontent as unmatched in

:16:41. > :16:45.recent years. Most Brazilians said the World Cup won't help matters one

:16:46. > :16:49.bit. About six in ten think hosting the event sucks money away from

:16:50. > :16:55.crucial public services. Just about three in ten think it's a good thing

:16:56. > :17:00.because of job creation. You might remember those mass demonstrations

:17:01. > :17:04.across the country in 2013, protesting economic conditions among

:17:05. > :17:10.other grievances. Pew Research Center found 48% of Brazilians think

:17:11. > :17:18.they damaged the country's international reputation. So could

:17:19. > :17:31.the World Cup rectified is for the hosts? Just 35% of Brazilians said

:17:32. > :17:33.the World Cup will help the country's global image. And 39% said

:17:34. > :17:42.the football tournament will hurt its image. The headlines. Chuck

:17:43. > :17:46.Hagel has told the BBC any delay in securing BBC -- release of Sgt Bowe

:17:47. > :17:54.Bergdahl from Taleban captivity could have put his life at risk. I

:17:55. > :17:58.spoke to our correspondent, who interviewed Chuck Hagel. I asked her

:17:59. > :18:04.if he -- she was convinced by his explanation that the US had had to

:18:05. > :18:06.act immediately. I pushed him on that question because the

:18:07. > :18:13.administration has come in for a lot of criticism from members of

:18:14. > :18:26.Congress who were asking that question. Why didn't you inform us,

:18:27. > :18:30.why didn't you give us the statutory 30 days to respond to this and why

:18:31. > :18:32.did you have to get him out immediately? His response was that

:18:33. > :18:36.the administration had information that his health and life were in

:18:37. > :18:41.peril. I asked him whether that was imminent peril. He said, it's easy

:18:42. > :18:54.to sit here and look back and take 24 hours or 48 hours, but we felt we

:18:55. > :19:01.had to get him out and we couldn't risk the prospect of leaks if we had

:19:02. > :19:03.this 30 day window that we gave Congress. He didn't say to me

:19:04. > :19:05.specifically that they only had 48 hours so they had to move

:19:06. > :19:06.immediately, but it was interesting that he raised that even as an

:19:07. > :19:08.issue, that time frame. How aware do you think the administration was

:19:09. > :19:09.about Sgt Bowe Bergdahl and the rumours and speculation about what

:19:10. > :19:11.he was doing when he got picked up, whether he had deserted or not? They

:19:12. > :19:17.say they are having an investigation into that, that there will be an

:19:18. > :19:22.official report on that. I think they have been quite taken by

:19:23. > :19:29.surprise about the degree of criticism surrounding his release.

:19:30. > :19:33.Chuck Hagel actually spoke to Sgt Bowe Bergdahl's family last night

:19:34. > :19:39.from here in Romania, I asked him how they were and how they were

:19:40. > :19:59.responding to the criticism. He said they are very strong

:20:00. > :20:02.The unrest in eastern Ukraine at the centre of talks in Brussels.

:20:03. > :20:06.Wherever those talks might lead, is it already too late to halt the

:20:07. > :20:10.In eastern Ukraine, the region of Donetsk has declared

:20:11. > :20:14.Steve Rosenberg has been sitting down with the man who's appointed

:20:15. > :20:17.himself its chairman, Denis Pushilin, to find out just how far

:20:18. > :20:29.Innocent civilians are being killed and these deaths are no longer

:20:30. > :20:39.creating such a shock as the first victims did. The fact that Ukraine

:20:40. > :20:44.has held a presidential election and that Petro Poroshenko has won it,

:20:45. > :20:49.that doesn't change the situation. We think he is the one giving the

:20:50. > :20:52.orders now. They want to get all the dirty work done before his

:20:53. > :20:57.inauguration, to make him look whiter than white. Will they

:20:58. > :21:00.succeed? We will see, but we're not going anywhere. This is our home. So

:21:01. > :21:08.you are saying there's no way back, no way back to a united Ukraine for

:21:09. > :21:13.Donetsk? We have passed the point of no return. If there had been no

:21:14. > :21:17.aggression by Kiev, no victims, then we could have held a referendum

:21:18. > :21:25.about being part of a federal Ukraine. Now anyone who suggested

:21:26. > :21:32.that would be seen as a criminal here. De facto, the state of Ukraine

:21:33. > :21:39.doesn't exist any more. Do you exclude having talks with the new

:21:40. > :21:45.president? Talks isn't the right word. Dialogue is possible in the

:21:46. > :21:50.presence of an intermediary. We view Russia in that role. There are two

:21:51. > :21:55.questions we can discuss. First in exchange of prisoners, second the

:21:56. > :22:00.withdrawal of all Ukrainian units from our territory. How important is

:22:01. > :22:04.assistance from Russia? There are reports that many volunteers who

:22:05. > :22:10.come from the Russian Federation to fight on your side in Ukraine. The

:22:11. > :22:13.volunteers keep coming, and not just from Russia. There are just more

:22:14. > :22:17.from Russia because we and the Russians are one people. We were

:22:18. > :22:22.born in the same country, the Soviet Union, we grew up with the same

:22:23. > :22:36.ideals, we have the same heroes. It was our fathers and grandfathers who

:22:37. > :22:42.defeated the Nazis. I want to take you to Normandy for a moment. These

:22:43. > :22:46.are the pictures live on the Pegasus Bridge, which was captured in the

:22:47. > :22:50.early stages of the D-Day landings. Prince Charles is there along with

:22:51. > :22:58.Camilla. He will be laying a wreath to those who fought for the capture

:22:59. > :23:04.of the bridge, and indeed those many thousands who followed on in the

:23:05. > :23:21.D-Day landings. Many of whom who never found their way back to the

:23:22. > :23:27.English coast. We have been hearing from some of the veterans. Let's be

:23:28. > :23:33.honest, they are in their late 80s at the youngest stage now. Into

:23:34. > :23:39.their 90s as well. This is 70 years on since D-Day itself. It is being

:23:40. > :23:44.seen as the final official commemoration. We've heard tales of

:23:45. > :23:48.veterans who have returned year after year, some to scatter poppies

:23:49. > :23:55.on the beach in commemoration of colleagues who fought with them and

:23:56. > :24:01.who died in the course of what was the liberation of Europe and what we

:24:02. > :24:09.rightly call the beginning of the end of the Second World War. Going

:24:10. > :24:18.down the line a bit with the rest of the assembled press to work out

:24:19. > :24:22.where Prince Charles is going next. I was going to add, there's an added
