This is BBC World News Today with me Zeinab Badawi. The US and EU impose | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
limited sanctions on Russian and Crimean officials after the region | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
votes to break away from Ukraine and join Russia. | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
Tensions remain high. Ukraine says Russia is holding Crimea at | :00:20. | :00:25. | |

Hello and welcome. The referendum vote in Crimea for the region to | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
break away from Ukraine and join Russia has triggered sanctions from | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
the US and the EU, as expected. Now the world is waiting to see what | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
Moscow's next move is, will it annex Crimea formally and what are the | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
implications of the situation in Crimea for pro-Russian regions in | :01:40. | :01:41. | |
eastern Ukraine? Vladimir Putin has signed a decree recognising Crimea | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
as an independent state. The Ukrainian government in Kiev has | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
said it is prepared for talks with Moscow but that it will never accept | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
annexation of its land. Daniel Sandford reports from the Crimean | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
city, Simferopol. Under the statue of Lenin in the | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
centre of the Crimean capital, they were still celebrating yesterday's | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
referendum. A vote to break away from Ukraine and join Russia, a vote | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
that has plunged Europe into crisis. In the Crimean parliament, the first | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
stage was to declare independence from Ukraine. From there, the Prime | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
Minister flew straight to Moscow to formally ask President Vladimir | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
Putin to annex Crimea to the Russian Federation. Russian troops and | :02:23. | :02:30. | |
armour still surround the Ukrainian Armed Forces, but the Ukrainian | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
Defence Minister insisted that there will be no retreat. TRANSLATION: | :02:33. | :02:43. | |
Crimea was, is and will be a Ukrainian territory. Our military | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
will stay there and we will solve this problem in a peaceful and | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
diplomatic way. We drove north from Simferopol to a strategic town near | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
where Crimea joins the Ukrainian mainland. There, we found a new | :02:55. | :03:01. | |
Russian military base and a mobile radar station on what had been a | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
disused airfield until a fortnight ago. Far from relaxing, the Russians | :03:05. | :03:12. | |
are reinforcing what may soon be a disputed border with Ukraine. Then, | :03:13. | :03:20. | |
a group of men claiming to be from the People's militia asked us to | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
leave. Although the referendum is now over, there is still a huge | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
Russian military presence in Crimea. All day, we have been filming trucks | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
coming and going on the main road from Crimea to mainland Ukraine. In | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
this small town near the base, people were also salivating. | :03:42. | :03:50. | |
Dash-macro celebrating. Alexi, a freelance writer, was helping his | :03:51. | :03:52. | |
parents on their market stall and hopes that Crimea's moved back into | :03:53. | :04:00. | |
the Russian fold will improve the We believe in one thing, in a better | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
life in future. Not as part of Ukraine. But the price that will be | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
paid for the future is an international crisis. Months or even | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
years of uncertainty and a new stand-off between Russia and the | :04:15. | :04:21. | |
West. We will be discussing the legal | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
implications of the referendum in Crimea, first as we mentioned the US | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
and the EU have announced an asset freeze and travel ban on Ukrainian | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
and Russian interests and individuals. The American measures | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
have been described as the "toughest since the end of the Cold War", but | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
it is not clear what effect they will have on the conflict. Bridget | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
Kendall reports. After last night's euphoria, now the | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
consequences. In Crimea, the referendum results to break away | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
from Ukraine was for Russian speakers a cause for celebration. | :04:52. | :05:07. | |
But in Kiev and the West, it is an illegal move and must be resisted. | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
So both EU and the United States today announced new sanctions. The | :05:11. | :05:12. | |
international community will continue to stand together to oppose | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
any violation of Ukrainian's sovereignty and territorial | :05:16. | :05:17. | |
integrity and continued Russian military intervention in Ukraine | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
will only deepen Russia's diplomatic isolation. These sanctions are aimed | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
at those closely involved in trying to split off Crimea from Kiev. | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
Travel bans on those behind the Russian military build-up and asset | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
freezes. European sanctions on 21 people and 11 named by the | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
Americans, including the Deputy Russian Prime Minister, the ousted | :05:40. | :05:41. | |
Ukrainian President, Viktor Yanukovych, and Crimea's separatist | :05:42. | :05:50. | |
leaders. And there is a warning of more sanctions to follow. In Moscow, | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
one of the officials targeted dismissed the sanctions as political | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
blackmail. President Putin's reaction will come in a big speech | :06:00. | :06:10. | |
he is giving tomorrow. In the meantime, his government have laid | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
out conditions for negotiation and made clear that it backs Crimea's | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
call to reunite with Russia. TRANSLATION: I expect the majority | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
of the Ukrainian population will respect this convincing result. So | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
what does Russia want? Well, firstly, constitutional reform, to | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
devolve powers to Ukraine's Russian speaking regions. And a cast-iron UN | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
guaranteed that Ukraine will stay neutral and not join the EU or NATO. | :06:36. | :06:45. | |
It also wants Russian language to be given equal status to Ukrainian. So | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
far, so good, but Russia also insists that Crimea's referendum | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
vote to leave Ukraine must be respected and there is no way that | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
either the West or Kiev will agree to that. Already, it has been ruled | :06:56. | :07:04. | |
out by Ukraine's acting president. We are ready for talks with Russia, | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
he said today, but we will never accept the annexation of our | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
territory. So all Ukraine can do is dig in to protect its borders from | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
further incursions as tensions with Russia set to escalate. | :07:16. | :07:32. | |
At that President Putin has recognised Crimea as an independent | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
state, what is the legal implications for the current | :07:36. | :07:37. | |
situation. Marc Weller is Professor of | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
International Law at the University of Cambridge. He joins me now. | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
President Putin saying that the referendum result must be respected, | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
and he now says that Crimea is an independent state, is that a legal | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
status for Crimea and what precedents are there that may help | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
us to understand this current situation? This is the kind of game, | :08:00. | :08:06. | |
because we know this is a 2-step process that Russia has gone for. | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
Russia tries to avoid a situation where it would be accused | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
immediately of having forcibly acquired the territory of a | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
neighbouring state. Sometimes, something that is one of the gravest | :08:17. | :08:25. | |
things against international legal order, there is only one such case | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
that has occurred in the 21st century in Europe. That is Russia's | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
occupation of two provinces of Georgia, which it also declared | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
independent, but it has run and independently since 2008 since the | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
armed conflict. What about the Kosovan referendum, what about | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
Scotland, the referendum coming up here, what is the difference in | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
legal terms between people fair in these regions having the right to | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
decide if they should be independent or not? There are many critical | :08:56. | :09:04. | |
differences. The Yugoslav federation dissolved and Kosovo became part of | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
the overall federation disappearing. There is no suggestion that Ukraine | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
had been under threat of dissolution. More are less, Kosovo | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
had been repressed for ten years and at the time any, contrast to the | :09:17. | :09:23. | |
Ukraine, it's Tommy had been by Belgrade and the UN mediator that | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
dealt with the situation after the conflict, he came to the Security | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
Council and said, we cannot hand back Kosovo to those that have been | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
severely repressing it. -- its autonomy had been run by Belgrade. | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
This is the first step. Normally, if you join really want to seek | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
independence, you have to negotiate the terms. He remembered that David | :09:47. | :09:53. | |
Cameron and Alex Salmond negotiating the referendum question and you look | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
at the other options, perhaps enhanced autonomy would do the job. | :09:59. | :10:05. | |
Now that the people of Crimea have taken the step, what is the basis | :10:06. | :10:12. | |
for Russia to bear the brunt of the sanctions and the wrath of the | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
international community, if they say that we accept the outcome of the | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
referendum, it is what the people wanted, how can you triggered the | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
sanctions against Russia? It is difficult to say that this is what | :10:26. | :10:32. | |
the people wanted if you are at the same time virtually occupying the | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
territory where these people live, and for the ultimate aim is to | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
incorporate that territory into your own state. It is probably true that | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
it was the genuine wish of many people in the Crimea to join Russia, | :10:46. | :10:53. | |
but it is such a dangerous and difficult idea that you can just | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
invade your neighbouring state or just use troops that you already had | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
there, and then slice it off from that state and forcibly | :11:03. | :11:09. | |
incorporated. That is why this is taken as such a serious incident, | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
which is quite different from other cases. Thank you for taking us | :11:13. | :11:20. | |
through the legal aspects. The continuing mystery of the | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
missing Malaysian aeroplane is now focussing on the two pilots. The | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
authorities now believe the final message from the airliner that | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
disappeared nine days ago was made by the co-pilot. But it's still | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
unclear whether that message, "all right, good night", made to ground | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
controllers came after the plane's communication system had been turned | :11:36. | :11:38. | |
off. 26 countries are involved in the search for the plane. From the | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur Rupert Wingfield-Hayes sent this | :11:42. | :11:43. | |
report. These are the last pictures of the | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
captain and the co-pilot of flight MH370, going through security | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
minutes before boarding the plane. Today, we learned that it is this | :11:51. | :11:53. | |
man, the co-pilot, Fariq Abdul Hamid, who was in control of the | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
aircraft moments before it disappeared. The initial | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
investigation indicates that it was the co-pilot. He spoke the last time | :12:03. | :12:11. | |
it was recorded on tape. Just two minutes after Fariq Abdul Hamid made | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
that last call, the plane's transponder was switched off and | :12:15. | :12:16. | |
flight MH370 disappeared from radar screens. In the last few days, the | :12:17. | :12:25. | |
focus of suspicion has been very much on the captain of flight MH370, | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
but following today's revelations, the focus appears certain to switch | :12:29. | :12:35. | |
here. Behind me is the house where 27-year-old Fariq Abdul Hamid lived | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
with his parents. Across the street is the mosque where he prayed. He is | :12:40. | :12:46. | |
not the only suspect. This man's son, an aircraft engineer flying to | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
a new job in Beijing, is also being investigated. For the families, the | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
tortured wait for information drags on and on. And the area that must be | :12:56. | :13:02. | |
searched only continues to grow. North, it stretches across western | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
China to the shores of the Caspian Sea. To the south, from Indonesia, | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
almost to the Antarctic. Analysts say that this mystery is | :13:12. | :13:19. | |
unprecedented in aviation history. I think it was very well-planned. They | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
knew what was there and what routes to go to. They practised it even. | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
Whoever has planned this is well ahead of us. And we do not yet know | :13:27. | :13:34. | |
where it is. It is going to be very challenging to be able to figure | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
this out. Today, the Chinese Navy began stocking up for the long | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
voyage into the Indian Ocean. There are now 26 countries involved in | :13:42. | :13:44. | |
this search but whoever took the plane has left them almost no trail | :13:45. | :13:59. | |
to follow. The fashion designer and girlfriend | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
of Mick Jagger, L'Wren Scott, has been found dead at her apartment in | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
New York. She is believed to have committed suicide by hanging | :14:07. | :14:08. | |
herself. L'Wren Scott was forty-nine and had been in a relationship with | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
the Rolling Stones singer for about thirteen years. A spokesman for Mick | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
Jagger, who's on tour in Australia, said he was "completely shocked and | :14:17. | :14:29. | |
devastated". L'Wren Scott had been a model, a | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
stylist, and in recent years a successful fashion designer. She had | :14:34. | :14:39. | |
shown collections at London Fashion Week. Elegant, the epitome of | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
upmarket glamour. We are expanding in Europe, the Middle East. | :14:44. | :14:49. | |
Today her body was found in her New York apartment. Initial reports say | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
she was found with a scarf around her neck that was attached to a | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
door. Born in Utah in the States, at six feet three inches she rather | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
towered over her partner of the last 13 years, Mick Jagger. He is today | :15:01. | :15:06. | |
in Perth in Australia preparing for concerts with the Rolling Stones. A | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
spokesman said he was completely shocked and devastated by the news. | :15:13. | :15:15. | |
His first wife Bianca Jagger says she is heartbroken. Tributes have | :15:16. | :15:18. | |
also come from fellow designers who said she was a talented artist and | :15:19. | :15:30. | |
giving friend. Let us go to New York now. What do | :15:31. | :15:41. | |
we know? Her body was discovered at ten | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
o'clock this morning by an assistant who had been asked to come around to | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
this apartment building on the west side of Manhattan by a text message | :15:51. | :15:59. | |
from L'Wren Scott. When she opened up the door she found her lifeless | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
body and it was apparent she had committed suicide. The police say | :16:04. | :16:09. | |
there is no foul play and they have not yet found a suicide note. The | :16:10. | :16:15. | |
body has been taken away by the medical examiner who has not yet | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
made any statement. But it does look like this was suicide. | :16:20. | :16:27. | |
She was quite a force in the world of fashion in New York and in | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
London. She was. She was a successful | :16:33. | :16:45. | |
fashion designer and fashion icon. She had a celebrity qui tell. -- she | :16:46. | :16:58. | |
had celebrity clients. In the fashion district there is a great | :16:59. | :17:04. | |
deal of shock. Her passing has been met with disbelief. | :17:05. | :17:30. | |
The Big Bang theory is one of the most fascinating of topics - a great | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
enigma which has even given its name to a popular American comedy series. | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
Well now scientists trying to explain the birth of the universe | :17:38. | :17:40. | |
seem to have made a significant development. Astro-physicists at | :17:41. | :17:42. | |
Harvard University in the US think they've detected space-time ripples | :17:43. | :17:45. | |
left over from the Big Bang. Our Science Editor David Shukman | :17:46. | :17:47. | |
reports. These are ancient and incredibly | :17:48. | :17:49. | |
challenging mysteries. How the universe started. What was it that | :17:50. | :17:52. | |
allowed everything we are familiar with to be born? Questions that | :17:53. | :17:55. | |
modern science is trying to answer with the idea of a Big Bang. It's | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
the theory of a single burst of creation and for the first time | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
there is proof of this process at work. A telescope under the freezing | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
skies of the South Pole is detecting clues from the earliest moments of | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
time. Applause today for a major advance. At Harvard University the | :18:12. | :18:17. | |
first results were unveiled. This is a genuine breakthrough in | :18:18. | :18:23. | |
understanding how it all began. For decades the idea of a Big Bang | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
giving birth to the universe has been a theory with no hard evidence | :18:28. | :18:31. | |
of exactly how this works. Now this American team has discovered | :18:32. | :18:34. | |
patterns in the energy left over from the earliest moments. From the | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
particular twists in the light that was created back then, patterns that | :18:39. | :18:41. | |
can only have been formed by ripples radiating out from the initial burst | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
of the big bang. Those ripples are what ultimately allowed gravity to | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
pull together the galaxies, stars and the planet. This is a major | :18:50. | :18:56. | |
advance in understanding how we got here. Scientists all over the world | :18:57. | :19:02. | |
have been poring over the results. This team gathered at Oxford | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
University this afternoon. There is a recognition that this is a hugely | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
important milestone. We don't know why the universe started expanding. | :19:13. | :19:15. | |
We don't know why the big bang happened. This takes us as far back | :19:16. | :19:21. | |
as it's possible to go and will hopefully help us figure that out. | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
So all this raises a tantalising thought. If we can know how the Big | :19:27. | :19:32. | |
Bang got going can we also find out how it actually started? The big | :19:33. | :19:48. | |
question about our own existence. This type of light can travel and | :19:49. | :19:57. | |
impeded. How do we know it is to do with the Big Bang? We look at the | :19:58. | :20:06. | |
galaxies. Look deeper and deeper and they move even faster. If you run | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
the movie back, so to speak, then you understand things must have been | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
closer together in the past. That is the basis of the dearly. It is the | :20:16. | :20:21. | |
idea that just after it got going that they moved to a super | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
expansion. It is the marker that was left on the older slight in the sky | :20:27. | :20:32. | |
that proves that that was the case. So we can say with certainty that | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
this might is from the Big Bang? Yes. Scientists say it is very | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
difficult for this particular marker to be made any other way. But if it | :20:42. | :20:47. | |
is real it is very difficult to describe how that marker in the sky | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
got to be there other than through super growth at the start of the | :20:53. | :20:57. | |
universe. People will be trying to verify this. There's this Nobel | :20:58. | :21:05. | |
prize territory? Absolutely. People have talked about this for a decade. | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
The people who would see this marker on the sky would get a Nobel prize. | :21:10. | :21:15. | |
Yes, it has to be verified. There is one experiment. Other people how to | :21:16. | :21:28. | |
do that. We have just one experiment. There are other | :21:29. | :21:30. | |
telescopes looking for this particular signature. Other | :21:31. | :21:36. | |
telescopes that are even better than this coming online in the next few | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
years. We will find out pretty quickly when the science community | :21:41. | :21:47. | |
accepts this result. In time for this year's Nobel prize? Probably | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
not this year, but maybe the year after. A South African guns expert | :21:53. | :22:14. | |
has been testifying in Oscar Pistorius' murder trial. Sean Rens | :22:15. | :22:17. | |
said that months before he killed his girlfriend, the athlete said he | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
drew his gun and went into "combat mode'' after thinking he heard the | :22:22. | :22:24. | |
noise of an intruder at his home. That sound turned out to be a | :22:25. | :22:27. | |
washing machine. Pistorius is accused of murdering Reeva Steenkamp | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
on Valentine's Day last year. A car bomb outside a military base | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi has killed at least eight | :22:37. | :22:39. | |
soldiers. More than ten other people were wounded. The bomb went off as | :22:40. | :22:42. | |
people were leaving a graduation ceremony for officers at the | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
barracks. US Navy Seals have taken control of | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
a tanker loaded with oil owned by the Libyan government after a | :22:51. | :22:52. | |
dramatic raid in international waters, south of Cyprus. The vessel | :22:53. | :22:55. | |
known as Morning Glory evaded a naval blockade in the Libyan port of | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
Sidra last week. The oil terminal has been under the control of | :23:00. | :23:02. | |
militia wanting autonomy for Eastern Libya since July 2013. | :23:03. | :23:08. | |
North Korea's ambassador to the UN has walked out of a hearing on human | :23:09. | :23:12. | |
rights violations in his country, when a Japanese representative began | :23:13. | :23:15. | |
to speak. The meeting was discussing a UN report that describes North | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
Korea's crimes as being as chilling as those of the Nazis. A number of | :23:19. | :23:22. | |
people who escaped from North Korea were there. | :23:23. | :23:29. | |
Exiled Syrians are trying to reach back into their own country. One | :23:30. | :23:40. | |
group the broadcast from Turkey. From a rooftop in Istanbul this | :23:41. | :23:51. | |
person presents a programme. She used to read the news on Syrian | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
state TV, but she got fed up with being told what to say so she went | :23:57. | :24:08. | |
into exile. People in Syria changed. Now we want to speak. We want to say | :24:09. | :24:19. | |
what we want. We are not afraid of anyone. The station has said radios | :24:20. | :24:26. | |
to Syria. It asks its listeners to phone in. Some of them do not want | :24:27. | :24:49. | |
to come back. Others want to make a deal with the regime. | :24:50. | :24:58. | |
This man arranges the music of the station. Inside Syria he did the | :24:59. | :25:16. | |
same thing for the government. I made songs for President Assad. If I | :25:17. | :25:26. | |
still worked until now, maybe I would kill myself. | :25:27. | :25:36. | |
In this war his music is used to inspire both sides. | :25:37. | :25:52. | |
The European Union and the United States have announced asset freezes | :25:53. | :25:56. | |
against officials who played a key role in the referendum and Crimea. | :25:57. | :26:03. | |
But the president of Russia has signed a decree recognising Crimea | :26:04. | :26:08. | |
as an independent state. The government in Kiev has said that | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
Russia is holding Crimea at gunpoint and that will never accept the | :26:14. | :26:18. | |
annexation of Crimea, but that has said it is willing to hold jocks | :26:19. | :26:24. | |
with Moscow. CCTV vector is short the pilot and co-pilot from the | :26:25. | :26:31. | |
missing Malaysian flight going through security before boarding the | :26:32. | :26:38. | |
plane. That is all for now. Next it is the | :26:39. | :26:41. | |
weather. Goodbye. The cloud increasing overnight. The | :26:42. | :27:03. | |
breeze picking up. It will be a windy day tomorrow. The showers will | :27:04. | :27:06. | |
be heavy. | :27:07. | :27:12. |
