This is BBC World News Today with me, Philippa Thomas. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
NATO orders an end to ALL practical cooperation with Russia | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
NATO's chief says there is "strong solidarity" against any | :00:10. | :00:15. | |
threat of aggression to the alliance, and warns that up to | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
40,000 Russian troops are still massed near Ukraine's | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
Russia's aggression against Ukraine is the greatest threat to European | :00:22. | :00:35. | |
security in a generation. Riot police in Turkey fire | :00:36. | :00:42. | |

we'll digest the new research. One of the pioneers of house | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
music, Frankie Knuckles, has died In the past hour, the NATO Secretary | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
General has said the alliance will suspend "all practical civilian | :01:05. | :01:23. | |
and military cooperation" with Russia, because of Moscow's decision | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
to take over Crimea from Ukraine. It's the first time that foreign | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
ministers from the 28-member NATO They've also agreed today to | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
intensify defence cooperation with Ukraine, a move that's likely | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
to further anger President Putin. More now on a day that's been | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
described In NATO, something has changed in | :01:44. | :02:04. | |
the wake of Russia's continuing threat to eastern Ukraine. There is | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
a new urgency to NATO deliberations. Russia's aggression against Ukraine | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
is the greatest threat to European security in a generation. And it | :02:16. | :02:24. | |
challenges our vision of a Europe free and at peace. This was the | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
first foreign ministers' meeting since the crisis in Ukraine. To | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
reassure jittery nerves, the members of NATO are considering boosting | :02:34. | :02:40. | |
deterrents, carrying out more surveillance exercises and appeared | :02:41. | :02:48. | |
-- possibly opening new military bases. Thousands of National Guard | :02:49. | :02:55. | |
troops in Ukraine are soon to finish training. Even more significant is | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
the approval by Parliament in Kiev to hold joint military exercises | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
with NATO countries. That could put US troops close to Russian forces in | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
Crimea. Meanwhile, Russia is warning Ukraine against any intervention | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
with NATO. Hopes of a de-escalation of the crisis were raised as there | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
was a port of Russian troops pulling back from Ukraine's border but there | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
is scepticism in the West that any withdrawal is under way. I cannot | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
confirm that Russia is withdrawing its troops. This is not what we are | :03:31. | :03:39. | |
seeing. And this massive military build-up can in no way contribute to | :03:40. | :03:48. | |
a de-escalation of the situation. Another hurdle for you NATO members, | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
can they persuade Russia and Ukraine to engage in direct to engineer a | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
diplomatic solution? We can go live now to Brussels, | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
and speak to Jonathan Marcus. Tell us more about the reassessment | :04:01. | :04:11. | |
of military deployments in eastern Europe. We do not have any of the | :04:12. | :04:18. | |
details yet. This is something that NATO's military staff and planners | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
will be looking at, but clearly a number of things will be in the | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
frame. Perhaps enhanced exercises in Eastern and central Europe, | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
countries like the Baltics and Poland who feel most concerned. | :04:31. | :04:32. | |
Possibly new military deployments and also a wholescale review of NATO | :04:33. | :04:40. | |
military contingency plan, to ensure all the things needed are in place | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
to respond quickly in place to respond quickly it this in the | :04:44. | :04:53. | |
future. And if NATO is looking... That is something that President | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
Putin is going to be annoyed by, to say the least. That is not going to | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
go down well in Moscow. It is not clear yet exactly what NATO has in | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
mind. It has been involved already in a whole set of things, helping to | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
democratise the structures in the Ukraine, ensuring that the military | :05:12. | :05:20. | |
is under control of civilian authorities. NATO wants to help | :05:21. | :05:28. | |
Ukraine defend its own territory and that will sound alarm bells in | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
Moscow. It is not clear yet exactly what kind of things NATO has in | :05:35. | :05:35. | |
mind. Riot police in Turkey have fired | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
water cannon at demonstrators on The people were calling | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
for a recount of some of the results in Sunday's local elections, | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
in which the governing AK party of Prime Minister Recep Tayip Erdogan | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
increased its share of the vote despite months of protests | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
and allegations Our correspondent James Reynolds | :05:53. | :05:54. | |
joins us now from Istanbul. Tell us more about the trouble | :05:55. | :06:04. | |
today. There were several hundred people gathered outside the | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
headquarters of the election body to say there had been irregularities or | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
manipulations in the poll and essentially they wanted the body to | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
take their complaints seriously. We understand more than 8000 complaints | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
have been registered. That is a dramatic increase on previous years. | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
Police met protesters with water cannon and tried to disperse them. | :06:27. | :06:33. | |
Most protesters were from the opposition People's Party. The | :06:34. | :06:40. | |
supporters believe they were robbed. And yet with the figures seem to | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
show that they are in a minority, that the Prime Minister does have a | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
strong following particularly outside the main cities? The early | :06:50. | :06:57. | |
results we have got suggest that Recep Tayyip Erdogan's party has | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
around 45% of the vote and that the opposition party has in the late | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
20th percentage of the vote, probably because the People's Party, | :07:05. | :07:12. | |
a secular party, as a hard time getting a stronghold, particularly | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
in the East. People do not doubt that it is way behind the KK Party | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
of Recep Tayyip Erdogan, but they doubt the validity of the election | :07:23. | :07:32. | |
results. Briefly, let us know the latest on social media and | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
censorship in Turkey. The networks still down? YouTube is still down, | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
and Twitter. That is the official line but people are technologically | :07:43. | :07:49. | |
savvy enough to get onto those websites on their own and find a way | :07:50. | :07:51. | |
round, if they know what to do. France's new Prime Minister, Manuel | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
Valls, has taken over from the outgoing Jean-Marc Ayrault, | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
following a drubbing in Sunday's local elections for the governing | :07:59. | :08:00. | |
Socialists. Mr Valls, the tough-talking former | :08:01. | :08:02. | |
Interior Minister and the most popular member of an unpopular | :08:03. | :08:04. | |
government, faces an uphill task. He's known to favour economic | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
liberalism and a firm stance on law and order, and is somewhat | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
distrusted by the left wing of his own party. The full line-up of the | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
new government should be announced They make an unlikely pair, British | :08:15. | :08:30. | |
Foreign Secretary William Hague and Hollywood star Angelina Jolie, but | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
they have teamed up in Osney to tackle the issue of sexual violence | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
in war zones. -- in Bosnia. Many civilians were raped in the war in | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
Bosnia in the 1990s and many have never felt able to speak about it. | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
Only a few cases have been successfully prosecuted. Our | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
reporter travelled to Bosnia with them. | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
It is a landscape that 20 years ago was being ravaged by war. Close to | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
100,000 people died in the Bosnian conflict, a conflict that also saw | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
rape used as a powerful weapon. Amid all the horrors of Bosnia, one name | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
stands out. This is where 8000 men and boys were murdered. 20,000... B | :09:14. | :09:23. | |
Foreign Secretary and Angelina surely came here as part of their | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
campaign against sexual violence in conflict once. It began two years | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
ago after William Hague saw a film she had made about Bosnia. In three | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
years of war, between 20 and 15,000 -- 50,000 women were raped here. | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
Even today you are willing to speak openly. The people who raped you, | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
have they ever been brought to justice? | :09:48. | :09:55. | |
Adina tells me her attackers are still free. She has even found them | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
on social media. Many women have died, she says, without seeing | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
justice. It is that legacy of the conflict that ties into the | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
initiative Angelina Shirley and William Hague have been working on, | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
trying to raise awareness of the devastating enduring effect of | :10:15. | 0:03:18 |
