This is BBC World News Today, with me, Zeinab Badawi. The new interim | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Ukrainian government has accused Russia of a military invasion and | :00:09. | :00:14. | |
occupation. Men presumed to be Russian are armed and patrolling two | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
airports in the Southern Crimea region. They have reportedly cut of | :00:18. | :00:26. | |
phone lines with Ukraine and Russia denies a military takeover. | :00:27. | :00:28. | |
Meanwhile, has Viktor Yanukovich lost his grip on reality? He turns | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
up in Russia and holds a press conference insisting he's still | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
president. TRANSLATION: I am eager and ready to | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
fight for the future of Ukraine. Also coming up, Uganda faces a | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
financial backlash to its new anti-gay law. And Nigeria marks the | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
100th anniversary of its creation as a state - but with Sharia law in the | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
north and killings by Boko Haram militants, what unity is there to | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
celebrate? And rolling out the red carpet for the frocks and shocks - | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
we take you behind the scenes as Hollywood gears up for Oscars night. | :01:01. | :01:16. | |
Hello and welcome. The UN Security Council is about to hold crisis | :01:17. | :01:23. | |
talks on Ukraine. This comes after its interim government accused | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
Moscow of a military invasion and occupation. It's been reported that | :01:27. | :01:33. | |
armed men seized buildings and are patrolling the streets in armoured | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
vehicles in the Crimea region. Crimea is a Black Sea peninsula that | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
belonged to Russia until 60 years ago, and most of its population are | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
ethnic-Russian. Meanwhile, in Russia itself the ousted Ukrainian | :01:43. | :01:44. | |
president, Viktor Yanukovych, has appeared in public for the first | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
time since he fled Kiev, insisting he was still president. Daniel | :01:49. | :01:50. | |
Sandford reports from Sevastopol in Crimea. | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
Crimea's main connection to the outside world today in the hands of | :01:55. | :02:01. | |
men with machine guns. The airport in south-east Ukraine controlled -- | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
patrolled by men without markings on their uniforms. Men in green | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
military uniforms have taken over the building containing the control | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
tower in Crimea's main civilian airport. All day military trucks | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
were on the move through Crimea, although it is a region of Ukraine, | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
the Black Sea fleet from Russia are based here. Troops loyal to Moscow | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
were in control of the main military airport near Sevastopol to. -- near | :02:32. | :02:42. | |
Sevastopol, too. But this woman is suspicious of the new Kiev | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
government, like many in Sevastopol, and supported the | :02:47. | :02:48. | |
Russian move. TRANSLATION: Who else can we turn | :02:49. | :02:56. | |
to? Who else can defend us? Thank goodness the Russian fleet is here. | :02:57. | :03:06. | |
This Russian naval ship appeared at Balaklava Bay, another show of | :03:07. | :03:08. | |
strength by the Russian armed forces. Ukraine appears to have lost | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
control of the Seas and the main airport in Crimea, a major strategic | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
region. As the country fell apart, there were angry scenes in the | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
national parliament. The new security chief pointed the finger | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
directly at Moscow. TRANSLATION: Crimean sub nothing to | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
do with the events in Crimea. These are extremists and separatist | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
groups. In Russia, the ousted Ukrainian | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
president, Viktor Yanukovych, appeared in public for the first | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
time since he fled last week. He said he was ashamed he had not been | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
able to hold onto power during the Kiev uprising, and apologised for | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
failing to keep stability. TRANSLATION: I am eager and ready to | :03:56. | :04:04. | |
fight for the future of Ukraine. I was forced to leave. There were | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
threats to my life and to people close to me. The city was taken by | :04:09. | :04:18. | |
fascist folks who are in the minority in Ukraine. Although | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
Ukraine has lost control of Crimea, including the main TV station, no | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
shots have been fired. This is not yet a war. Kiev has not moved to | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
reassert control. And if it does, Moscow made it clear today that its | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
troops are waiting. Now to David Stern in Kiev. David, | :04:39. | :04:46. | |
there are reports coming in about troop movements and so on. What do | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
you know? Well, we don't know much more than what is being reported. | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
There are troop movements into one of the military airports in | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
Sevastopol. It should be said there are regular troop movements into | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
Crimea because this is where the Russian Black Sea Fleet has its main | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
base. The question is, why add these troop movements taking place now? | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
How large are they? What do they intend to do? We cannot answer these | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
questions. It does raise tensions even further. As Daniel Sandford was | :05:22. | :05:28. | |
saying, there is concern about these troops. Even though they do not have | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
insignia, the Interior Minister has accused Russia of staging an | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
invasion. It is not clear what is going to happen next. They are | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
asking for roadside assistance. What about the reports about beating | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
indications being intercepted and flights cancelled get -- etc? That | :05:47. | :05:53. | |
is also something we're looking into. Difficult to say what is | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
happening with the mobile phone connections. We do have landline | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
connections with Crimea. We are also hearing from journalists here in | :06:04. | :06:05. | |
Kiev that flights have been cancelled until half past six | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
tomorrow evening, tentatively. There are difficulties. People are | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
becoming very concerned about being able to get into the Crimean | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
peninsula, which juts out into the Black Sea. What kind of reaction has | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
there been to that appearance by Viktor Yanukovych and is rather long | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
press conference from inside Russian territory? A bit of everything, you | :06:30. | :06:39. | |
could say. Kiev, of course, is a Bastian of anti-Viktor Yanukovych | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
feeling. This is where the protest movement has been based. Behind me | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
is the heart of the protest movement. There was mostly disbelief | :06:49. | :06:55. | |
and disdain, especially when Viktor Yanukovych said he was still | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
president. He has disappeared for about a week now. This was his first | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
public appearance. He said he was still president and he would fight | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
for the future of Ukraine. But many people here, at least the ones I was | :07:09. | :07:15. | |
speaking to, were very doubtful. David Stern. With me now is Anatol | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
Lieven, a professor at King's College London and author of Ukraine | :07:20. | :07:28. | |
and Russia: Fraternal Rivals. How far is the rivalry is -- how far | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
is the rivalry going right now? By the Russians tried to take over | :07:35. | :07:43. | |
Crimea? Yes, basically! Russia insuring Crimea against takeover by | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
Kiev. Crimea is an outcome as part of the Ukraine. It has a degree of | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
separation already. The vast majority of its population are | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
ethnic Russians. Yes. And they are seriously worried. One of the first | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
actions of the new parliament in Kiev was to abolish the official | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
status of the Russian language. You think some of their fears are | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
justified about Ukrainian nationalism? There is a very strong | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
ultranationalist component in the protest in Kiev, and they hate | :08:18. | :08:24. | |
Russians. So, yes. Do you think that particular aspect of this conflict | :08:25. | :08:26. | |
is not being sufficiently considered, and that people accused | :08:27. | :08:34. | |
Russia of sabre rattling? Yes, I do think that. This move by the | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
Ukrainian parliament should have been immediately denounced by | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
Western governments if they wish to maintain any credibility with | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
Russian speakers in Ukraine and indeed with Moscow. And also, just | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
in the interest of civic peace in Ukraine. So I do think that | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
everybody needs to take a step back at the moment. It is clear that this | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
is becoming a really dangerous situation. What do you think will | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
happen? We do not really know who is patrolling the streets in Crimea. | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
Who seized the buildings. Is there any doubt in your mind? Put it this | :09:09. | :09:18. | |
way, if these are not Russian soldiers and if they are locals, | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
they are certainly locals that have been encouraged and armed by | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
Russians, I think. I don't think Russia is aiming at independence for | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
Crimea, or breaking away Crimea. I think Russia is using Crimea as a | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
bargaining counter to try to retain a measure of influence over the | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
Ukraine as a whole. And to protect not just the Russians of Crimea but | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
the Russians of eastern and southern Ukraine. At the moment this is only | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
a game of manoeuvre. Of course, if the U -- new Ukrainian government | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
were to take action in Crimea, then you would have war. Russia would | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
fight. On that rather sombre note of what might possibly happen, thank | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
you very much. Let's go to our correspondent in Crimea and who has | :10:05. | :10:13. | |
travelled through Sevastopol. Christian Fraser. Christian, are you | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
able to tell us more about these unconfirmed reports that four | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
Russian transport planes have landed at an airport in Simferopol? We are | :10:22. | :10:29. | |
trying to keep track of all these rumours at the moment. My hunch | :10:30. | :10:39. | |
would be that we will not get near. We have seen all of the airports | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
today, the presence of these undefined military units, highly | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
trained. Well armed. When they deploy around the roads, they move | :10:48. | :10:53. | |
in a professional manner. As your previous guest said, I think there | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
is an enormous power play on the way here. I was interested in his | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
comment is that if they need to move, they are in a good position to | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
begin a war. I don't think they really need to do that. It is not | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
really a war. They are already in place. They hold some key strategic | :11:10. | :11:16. | |
points. Telecommunications companies saying they have taken over | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
telecommunications. State TV says it has been surrounded. The airport has | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
been secured. The local parliament building is under armed guard. And | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
we have got this ship which is patrolling outside Balaklava Bay. | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
All of the key areas our secure. If the Kremlin and President Putin | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
wants to squeeze, he can do that very effectively. And it seems, it | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
would appear, there is very little the new interim government in Kiev | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
can do. What about these reports that all flights to the airport have | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
been cancelled, post-boned or just held on the ground? -- postponed. | :11:53. | :12:04. | |
Are you able to confirm that? I know the main Ukrainian airline flying in | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
from Kiev tonight was stopped from doing that. I know a colleague was | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
coming from Istanbul and he was -- that flight was stopped. And | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
outbound flight to stumble was stopped. Russian colleagues went to | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
the airport and asked what was going on. They were told the airspace was | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
closed. We do not know if it is closed indefinitely. Is it closed | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
because these four transport aircraft are coming in with troops | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
on board? That is possible. Or they just trying to sabre rattle? We just | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
don't know at this moment. What I can tell you is that the majority | :12:40. | :12:47. | |
ethnic Russian population here are practically applauding what is going | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
on. They are not dissatisfied with the fact that Russia is flexing its | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
muscles here in the peninsular. In fact, they feel quite secure because | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
it is doing that. They do not like what is going on in Kiev. Many of | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
those we spoke to today said they were quite pleased with what was | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
happening. Thank you very much, Christian | :13:08. | :13:14. | |
Fraser. Adding to the background there. Tension building in Crimea. | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
Moving to Africa now. Nigeria is marking a hundred years since two | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
British territories were merged together to form what is now | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
Africa's most populous country, with about 170 million people living | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
there. Nigeria is a vibrant and energetic country, but the past | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
hundred years have also seen much bloodshed - a bloody civil war, | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
several coups and now a vicious terror campaign waged by Boko Haram | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
in the north. Tomi Oladipo has this overview of Nigeria at 100. | :13:39. | :13:48. | |
I found that the greater part of the country was under Muslim rulers. | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
This man was the Governor general when the state of Nigeria was | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
created. He oversaw a rocky transition. Even after | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
independence, the divisions often showed along religious and ethnic | :14:04. | :14:10. | |
lines. An Army officer protested the killing of Ebor people in northern | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
Nigeria. In 1967 he led the breakaway of the poor state of by | :14:15. | :14:22. | |
Afro. A bloody civil war ensued. The country has not experienced any | :14:23. | :14:24. | |
bloodshed of that magnitude since but there have been ethnic and | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
religious clashes in many parts, and an ongoing insurgency led by Boko | :14:30. | :14:35. | |
Haram. The introduction of Sharia law in some northern states has been | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
controversial. These people, like many others, are keen to live in | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
peace. We are not affected by Sharia law. It is only those who practice | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
Sharia law who are affected. We the Christians, we live within our | :14:51. | :14:52. | |
domain and we continue with our lives peacefully. To nowadays the | :14:53. | :15:03. | |
politicians are really out, you know, using the youth negatively for | :15:04. | :15:10. | |
their own selfish interest. Otherwise, this is a place where you | :15:11. | :15:18. | |
can practice your religion freely. This week, world leaders are in the | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
capital to celebrate the anniversary. It is a chance to | :15:23. | :15:25. | |
celebrate freedom despite the rest hurdles. | :15:26. | :15:32. | |
I think the bringing together of what was once a disparate peoples | :15:33. | :15:39. | |
has been an overwhelming success. There is a big prince even the last | :15:40. | :15:46. | |
100 years, significant progress. There are clearly challenges. The | :15:47. | :15:48. | |
significant problems around the country have led some to cast doubt | :15:49. | :15:56. | |
over the future. You can't do anything about Boko | :15:57. | :16:05. | |
Haram. The country will disintegrate if we do not seize the initiative. | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
The suggestion of a break-up is contentious because of better | :16:11. | :16:19. | |
feeling of past events. Nigeria is experiencing growth, largely because | :16:20. | :16:22. | |
of its oil. The question is how long will this last? | :16:23. | :16:28. | |
I am joined by Nick Wescott, the European Union's most senior member | :16:29. | :16:34. | |
in charge of relations with West Africa. I know you are marking the | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
100 year anniversary. Is there much to celebrate, where is the unity? | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
There is much to celebrate. They took that fateful decision to keep | :16:45. | :16:51. | |
the old borders and that was very smart. Anything else would have led | :16:52. | :17:00. | |
to warfare. At those mean that all these enormously diverse societies | :17:01. | :17:03. | |
have to find a way to live together. That is the point? They are not | :17:04. | :17:13. | |
finding it a way to live together. I think it is still one country and | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
justifies celebrating its achievement. It has had a war, in | :17:19. | :17:25. | |
revolt in the North, violence in the States in the middle, and this is, | :17:26. | :17:32. | |
not excusable, but often the reason why countries take a while to find | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
the right balance. And to develop that all events that it is both to | :17:38. | :17:47. | |
allow people to have their say. There is a particular problem in the | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
north, it is terribly poor and that helps fuel the discontent. | :17:52. | :17:59. | |
He said unless very active steps are taken the country could | :18:00. | :18:05. | |
disintegrate. That is true. There has to be active | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
and good government. The oil money won't last for ever and if it | :18:10. | :18:16. | |
doesn't spread the benefits more smoothly, which it doesn't, it will | :18:17. | :18:22. | |
lead to conflict. So the government have a big casque to do, | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
particularly to develop agriculture and manufacturing. | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
Is it going the right way? We have had very public splits. | :18:32. | :18:44. | |
It is a good thing those issues are being raised. They now need to find | :18:45. | :18:50. | |
a way to resolve them and do so transparently. By now it that -- I | :18:51. | :18:55. | |
take it as encouraging the recent signs. | :18:56. | :19:00. | |
Now let's turn our attention to Uganda. President Yoweri Museveni | :19:01. | :19:03. | |
claims he's being blackmailed by the withdrawal of aid to his country in | :19:04. | :19:06. | |
reaction to the draconian anti-gay legislation he signed into law on | :19:07. | :19:09. | |
Monday. Uganda is heavily dependent on foreign aid. It is the world's | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
twentieth largest recipient. The United States now says it is | :19:14. | :19:16. | |
reviewing its relationship with Uganda, which could affect the $400 | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
million of aid it gives to Kampala. The Netherlands has already frozen a | :19:21. | :19:23. | |
subsidy worth $9.5 million to Uganda's legal system. The Dutch | :19:24. | :19:29. | |
government says it does not want to assist the process of enforcing the | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
new anti-gay laws. Norway says it's withholding more than $8 million in | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
development aid. And Denmark is diverting just over $9 million from | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
the government and giving it to NGOs and human rights groups instead. And | :19:42. | :19:46. | |
the World Bank has postponed its $90 million in funds that were earmarked | :19:47. | :19:55. | |
for health services. When we look at this, the cuts in | :19:56. | :20:05. | |
bilateral aid we have just heard about but is that you going to do | :20:06. | :20:08. | |
something similar? We are looking at this because it is | :20:09. | :20:17. | |
very serious. It is not just a cultural issue, it is discrimination | :20:18. | :20:24. | |
against a minority. It is contrary to Uganda's international | :20:25. | :20:39. | |
undertakings. I hope the court will stand by but it is a very worrying | :20:40. | :20:45. | |
situation. Are you going to review the | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
situation and possibly not get paid. We have an agreement with a number | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
of agreements including respecting human rights. This may not be the | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
only human rights issue we have two rays with Uganda and on the basis of | :21:01. | :21:08. | |
that we go ahead. -- issue we have two rays raise. | :21:09. | :21:21. | |
We have seen countries suspended because they don't like this or that | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
policy. This is not a cultural issue, it is | :21:27. | :21:33. | |
about fundamental human rights. It is because they are a minority who | :21:34. | :21:39. | |
cannot help the way they are and so should be accepted and tolerated. | :21:40. | :21:45. | |
For many years we discriminated against Thomas sexual is in the West | :21:46. | :21:56. | |
and we learned from our mistakes. If you do as some countries have and | :21:57. | :22:07. | |
diverts money, that can put them in a precarious situation in their own | :22:08. | :22:10. | |
country. Our job is to help people in Uganda, | :22:11. | :22:18. | |
people of every religion or minority, so we want to get our aid | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
to those people. We do not want this to become a cultural war between | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
Africa and the West, that's not what it is. Is there a danger of that | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
happening? There should not be because this is | :22:32. | :22:38. | |
a fundamental question. I would be worried about legislation of this | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
kind that enables people to be arrested. | :22:43. | :22:54. | |
Thank you very much. Now a look at some of the days other | :22:55. | :22:57. | |
news. The online currency exchange Mount Gox has filed for bankruptcy | :22:58. | :23:00. | |
protection in Japan, with debts totalling around $65 million. It | :23:01. | :23:03. | |
went offline earlier this week. Its owner now says hundreds of thousands | :23:04. | :23:06. | |
of Bitcoins worth several hundred million dollars are unaccounted for. | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
A court in Russia has placed the opposition leader Alexei Navalny | :23:11. | :23:13. | |
under house arrest for violating travel restrictions. He's being | :23:14. | :23:15. | |
investigated for alleged corruption, charges which he says are | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
politically motivated. Under the ruling, Alexei Navalny will no | :23:19. | :23:21. | |
longer be allowed access to a phone or the internet, in effect blocking | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
his online anti-government campaign. In Myanmar, the government has | :23:27. | :23:29. | |
suspended the operations of Medecins Sans Frontieres, one of the biggest | :23:30. | :23:32. | |
aid agencies working in its troubled Rakhine State. A government | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
spokesperson claimed that the charity had been biased in favour of | :23:37. | :23:39. | |
the State's Muslim Rohingya minority. | :23:40. | :23:50. | |
It is the annual highlight in the glittering Hollywood calendar: the | :23:51. | :23:53. | |
Oscars when the stars on-screen and behind the scenes gather to | :23:54. | :23:55. | |
celebrate, congratulate and commiserate with the winners and the | :23:56. | :23:58. | |
losers. Quite a range of favourites this year - the science fiction | :23:59. | :24:02. | |
movie Gravity, the emotion of Dallas Buyers Club and the brutal depiction | :24:03. | :24:05. | |
of American slavery in 12 Years A Slave. In addition to the audience | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
at the Oscars, tens of millions will be watching on televisions around | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
the world this Sunday. A lot of attention will be on that red carpet | :24:14. | :24:16. | |
outside the The Dolby Theatre. That's where Lizo Mzimba is now and | :24:17. | :24:26. | |
joins me. All the preparation going on | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
behind-the-scenes so take us what is going to happen -- take us through | :24:31. | :24:38. | |
what is going to happen. There has been the organisation | :24:39. | :24:43. | |
going on for months. The press are starting to camp out. It is being | :24:44. | :24:51. | |
run like a military operation. Who is going to be triumphant on the | :24:52. | :24:58. | |
night? Well, it is not going to be a year when one film sweeps the board | :24:59. | :25:05. | |
but there are art films such as 12 Years A Slave, a film with a British | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
director and star. That is the favourite for best film but there is | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
also American Hustle which has ten nominations and Gravity which is | :25:16. | :25:23. | |
expected to win lots of technical categories whereas American | :25:24. | :25:31. | |
Hustle's best chance will probably be in the acting and screenplay | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
categories. There are so many other films in the mix as well including | :25:37. | :25:43. | |
Leonardo DiCaprio's film and Philomena with Dean Judi Dench. When | :25:44. | :25:52. | |
I said this has all been months in the planning, it has not just been | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
from an organisational point of view. The studios run a major | :25:58. | :26:02. | |
campaign to try to get their stars more wins. It is so important | :26:03. | :26:11. | |
because it can give even an established film a boost like no | :26:12. | :26:20. | |
other can. It is something that can hit entertainment value and | :26:21. | :26:22. | |
significance in film terms. That is why the ticket so seriously and that | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
is why it is the biggest entertainment and showbiz event on | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
the globe. Clearly, we're going to be watching | :26:33. | :26:41. | |
what on Sunday. Tensions are rising in Crimea after | :26:42. | :26:50. | |
four Russian planes have landed at the military base | :26:51. | :26:50. | |
As the rain starts to clear, the windfalls lights, it is the perfect | :26:51. | :27:14. | |
recipe for Frost and fog. We do have weather | :27:15. | :27:16. |
