:00:00. > :00:14.This is BBC World News Today. A diplomatic deal to end the violence
:00:15. > :00:19.in Ukraine and a call on pro-Russian protesters to end their occupation
:00:20. > :00:24.of government buildings. The agreement comes after more violence
:00:25. > :00:28.but will the diplomacy make a difference on the ground? The USA
:00:29. > :00:33.says was a good day 's work. Russia the Ukrainians need to find their
:00:34. > :00:36.own solution. Hopes are fading for the school children still missing in
:00:37. > :00:43.the South Korean ferry disaster. 280 people are still missing. The
:00:44. > :00:47.captain of the sunken ship is under investigation. Also coming up. He's
:00:48. > :00:53.77 and he's had a stroke but he's still seeking re-election as
:00:54. > :00:59.President of Algeria. Why are opposition parties calling for a
:01:00. > :01:02.boycott? And as Christians get ready to celebrate one of their most
:01:03. > :01:05.important festivals, Easter, we look at a global test of opinion across
:01:06. > :01:16.several countries about attitudes towards religion.
:01:17. > :01:21.Hello and welcome. High-level talks in Geneva aimed at ending the crisis
:01:22. > :01:27.in Ukraine have concluded with what looks like a breakthough. Before the
:01:28. > :01:30.talks got under way, three Russian separatists were killed after the
:01:31. > :01:36.attempted to storm a military base in eastern Ukraine. We'll have more
:01:37. > :01:38.on that in a moment. But first, it was the Russian Foreign Minister
:01:39. > :01:41.Sergei Lavrov who announced that inernational talks in Geneva had
:01:42. > :01:50.resulted in a deal on calming tensions as Rob Watson reports.
:01:51. > :01:54.For a meeting from which so little had been expected, signs of
:01:55. > :01:58.progress, an upbeat Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said all
:01:59. > :02:02.sides had agreed to take steps to calm tensions including removing
:02:03. > :02:07.militants from buildings and to address their political differences.
:02:08. > :02:14.What is the most important for us is everybody, all the parties agree
:02:15. > :02:20.that this is the crisis that needs to be regulated by Ukrainians
:02:21. > :02:28.themselves. Immediate cessation of conflicts. His US counterpart John
:02:29. > :02:32.Kerry also talked a good work achieving good faith but said now it
:02:33. > :02:39.was a question of turning words into action, warning of further sanctions
:02:40. > :02:42.on Moscow if they went. This day 's work is produced principles and
:02:43. > :02:50.commitments and it has produced words on paper. And we are the first
:02:51. > :02:55.to understand and to agree that words on paper will only mean what
:02:56. > :03:01.the actions are taken as a result of those words produce. Earlier, in a
:03:02. > :03:06.phone in programme on Russian television, President Putin blamed
:03:07. > :03:09.the authorities in Kiev for all the tension in trouble in eastern
:03:10. > :03:13.Ukraine. He insisted there were no Russian forces on the ground at
:03:14. > :03:21.again, held out the possibility there could be in the future.
:03:22. > :03:24.TRANSLATION: As a reminder, the Federation Council of Russia, has
:03:25. > :03:31.the right to use military force in Ukraine. I very much hope we will
:03:32. > :03:36.not have to exercise this right and with political and diplomatic means,
:03:37. > :03:43.we will resolve the acute problems in Ukraine today. On Wednesday
:03:44. > :03:49.night, a reminder of the kind of flash points that could lead to an
:03:50. > :03:54.even wider crisis. A National Guard base in southern Ukraine came under
:03:55. > :03:58.attack from pro-Russian militants. The assault failed, but left three
:03:59. > :04:05.of the pro-Russian is dead. And more than a dozen injured. All further
:04:06. > :04:09.evidence of Kiev's struggle to maintain control of its territory
:04:10. > :04:17.without provoking unwanted confrontation. Of course, not all
:04:18. > :04:23.eastern Ukraine is in the grip of a pro-Russian insurgency. These
:04:24. > :04:29.protesters were demonstrating for what they called a united country.
:04:30. > :04:34.How to keep Ukraine United in a way that satisfies all of its citizens,
:04:35. > :04:47.its Russian neighbour and Europe and the USA, remains the prize so far
:04:48. > :04:50.out of reach. Sir Tony Brenton is a former British Ambassador to Russia.
:04:51. > :04:54.He joins me from our studio in Cambridge. People are talking about
:04:55. > :05:02.a diplomatic solution to the crisis. Is this it? Well, this is a very big
:05:03. > :05:05.first step, very good news, and, given the unpromising background to
:05:06. > :05:10.it, both sides looked into the abyss, the Russians never really
:05:11. > :05:16.wanted to invade Ukraine, but with the deaths yesterday, it is harder
:05:17. > :05:19.to evade. The Westerners were worried about a Russian
:05:20. > :05:21.dismemberment of Ukraine, both sides are found in agreement which enables
:05:22. > :05:27.them to step back. That's the good news. A lot depends on the
:05:28. > :05:32.implementation but my feeling is both sides, having seen how bad
:05:33. > :05:38.things could have got, are genuine about carrying this link through
:05:39. > :05:44.now. What other tangible signs we can see this resolution being
:05:45. > :05:48.occupied on ground? Occupied buildings being given up? If you
:05:49. > :05:52.read a statement, there are explicit requirements, the disbandment of
:05:53. > :05:58.illegal groups, the abandonment of illegally occupied buildings,
:05:59. > :06:04.monitors being brought in, so things should happen quite quickly and that
:06:05. > :06:09.will be an early test of how genuine both sides are on delivering on the
:06:10. > :06:12.agreement. What about pro-Russian protesters in Ukraine? Will they do
:06:13. > :06:16.what Moscow tells them to do or will they do their own thing? I think
:06:17. > :06:21.there will be some grumbling, but since it was quite a lot of Moscow
:06:22. > :06:27.activity behind-the-scenes in getting them out, to protest, I hope
:06:28. > :06:32.they will quickly withdraw. Has Russia got what it wants? It never
:06:33. > :06:39.had any designs on eastern Ukraine but got Crimea. Yes, Crimea is a
:06:40. > :06:44.problem left over for another time. The big thing Russia has got in the
:06:45. > :06:49.statement is a guarantee of an open constitutional process, and what
:06:50. > :06:52.they see as guarantees of autonomy for regional populations which
:06:53. > :06:57.includes the Russian population. There is a shift in tone of not
:06:58. > :07:01.talking so explicitly about autonomy for the Russian speaking population
:07:02. > :07:06.in eastern Ukraine. Much more just saying their rights should be
:07:07. > :07:10.acknowledged more firmly. As I understand it, behind-the-scenes,
:07:11. > :07:15.Ukrainian representatives, John Kerry said he spoke to the Prime
:07:16. > :07:18.Minister of Ukraine, and there were assurances on autonomy for the
:07:19. > :07:22.Russian population and all populations in Ukraine. It's very
:07:23. > :07:26.clear. What would you say the balance of power between Russia and
:07:27. > :07:32.the West is after this agreement today and the whole crisis over
:07:33. > :07:36.Ukraine? It's an interesting moment. What has become very clear is it
:07:37. > :07:40.impossible for the West simply to take Ukraine in the direction it
:07:41. > :07:44.wants to go. The Russian hand and involvement remains very strong. And
:07:45. > :07:50.that will have to be taken into consideration as Ukraine looks at
:07:51. > :07:53.its future economic and political orientation. And therefore, the West
:07:54. > :07:58.will have to take Russia a lot more seriously going forward. Thank you
:07:59. > :08:04.very much indeed for sharing your insights with us. South Korea's
:08:05. > :08:08.coastguard says it's investigating every detail of the final hours of a
:08:09. > :08:12.ferry which sank with hundreds of schoolchildren on board. 179 people
:08:13. > :08:16.have been rescued but almost 300 are missing. And the country's President
:08:17. > :08:18.says time is running out to find more survivors. There are
:08:19. > :08:25.unconfirmed reports that the crew delayed giving orders to abandon the
:08:26. > :08:28.ship and launch the lifeboats. Divers are waiting to search South
:08:29. > :08:35.Korea's stricken ferry but they can't get in. Held back by strong
:08:36. > :08:41.currents today, this was all the rescue teams could do.
:08:42. > :08:48.And in case there was anyone alive to hear them, they brought in oxygen
:08:49. > :08:53.to pump inside the hull. Parents believe their children may be
:08:54. > :08:57.clinging on in air pockets. Their disappointment at not finding them
:08:58. > :09:03.turning on the rescuers themselves. "Children are dying," they shouted.
:09:04. > :09:07."Why aren't you doing something?" Out there is a disaster that no one
:09:08. > :09:12.can get to. Perhaps hundreds of people, most of them children,
:09:13. > :09:15.trapped inside a sunken ship. Surrounded by rescue boats, but cut
:09:16. > :09:24.off from them by these terrible conditions. This man came here last
:09:25. > :09:29.night to find his 67-year-old mother on her way to a cycling holiday with
:09:30. > :09:35.friends. It takes him a while to find her photograph. She hates
:09:36. > :09:37.having their picture taken, he says. TRANSLATION: Everyone wishes their
:09:38. > :09:42.relatives would survive this accident. But right now, I don't
:09:43. > :09:47.have the energy to get angry. I want to cry but I can't. I have no one to
:09:48. > :09:52.talk to. I don't want to worry other relatives so I have decided to face
:09:53. > :09:55.this alone with my brother. This video, apparently shot from inside
:09:56. > :10:01.the ferry, shows how passengers struggled to stand up in the listing
:10:02. > :10:07.ship. The captain hid his face of the police station today feeling the
:10:08. > :10:13.pressure of getting out alive. TRANSLATION: I am really sorry. I am
:10:14. > :10:17.deeply ashamed. I cannot put it into words.
:10:18. > :10:28.For some of those here, the wait is over already. This mother, reunited
:10:29. > :10:33.with her child too late. But grief is felt across the country. Most of
:10:34. > :10:37.those on board the ferry were pupils of this high school outside Seoul.
:10:38. > :10:38.The names of those still missing from the registers far outweighing
:10:39. > :10:49.the numbers found. And then there are stories like this
:10:50. > :10:57.one. Six years old and pulled from the wreckage yesterday. A chocolate
:10:58. > :11:01.bar to mark the end of her ordeal. Stories like hers are getting rarer
:11:02. > :11:02.here. But it's stories like hers which give the families still
:11:03. > :11:22.waiting hope. Now a look at some of the day's
:11:23. > :11:24.other news. The parents of some of the 100-plus schoolgirls abducted by
:11:25. > :11:27.suspected Islamic militants in Nigeria, have begun searching local
:11:28. > :11:30.forests for them. There's been confusion over how many of the girls
:11:31. > :11:34.are still being held by their kidnappers. The governor of Borno
:11:35. > :11:37.state originally said nearly all of them had escaped. But it now seems
:11:38. > :11:40.more than 100 are still unaccounted for. The murder trial of the
:11:41. > :11:43.Paralympic sprinter Oscar Pistorius has been adjourned for just over a
:11:44. > :11:45.fortnight. He's accused of deliberately shooting his girlfriend
:11:46. > :11:48.Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine's Day last year. The judge interrupted
:11:49. > :11:51.this morning's hearing to warn those watching a televised feed of the
:11:52. > :12:08.trial outside that they could be heard cheering and shouting inside
:12:09. > :12:11.the court. There's been a lukewarm reception for shares in Weibo, the
:12:12. > :12:15.Chinese version of Twitter, which has been floated on the Nasdaq stock
:12:16. > :12:18.exchange in New York. It's sold 16.8 million shares, raising $286 million
:12:19. > :12:21.so far, well below the $340 million it was aiming for. Weibo is not
:12:22. > :12:24.currently making a profit and the number of active users has fallen
:12:25. > :12:27.since China's censors strengthened their control of online discussions
:12:28. > :12:30.last year. Scientists in the United Sates say they've discovered the
:12:31. > :12:33.most Earth-like planet yet found in another solar system. It's called
:12:34. > :12:36.Kepler-186-F and NASA have released these artist impressions of what it
:12:37. > :12:40.might look like close up. It's almost the same size as Earth, and
:12:41. > :12:46.temperatures on it are mild enough to allow surface water. Prosecutors
:12:47. > :12:49.in New York are outlining their case against the radical Muslim cleric,
:12:50. > :12:52.Abu Hamza. The Egyptian-born preacher, who was extradited from
:12:53. > :12:55.Britain to the US in 2012, denies all 11 terrorism charges against
:12:56. > :12:59.him. The charges he faces include conspiring in a 1998 kidnapping of
:13:00. > :13:03.tourists in Yemen that resulted in the deaths of three Britons and an
:13:04. > :13:06.Australian. Abu Hamza rose to notoriety in the UK for preaching
:13:07. > :13:12.violent messages at Finsbury Park mosque in London after the 9/11
:13:13. > :13:14.attacks. We are now joined by our correspondent Barbara Plett-Usher
:13:15. > :13:20.who's outside the court in New York where the hearing is taking place.
:13:21. > :13:26.Barbara, tell us what the prosecution had been saying in this
:13:27. > :13:32.court hearing today. The prosecution made its opening statement basically
:13:33. > :13:38.saying that Abu Hamza had used his influence at the Finsbury Park
:13:39. > :13:43.mosque to aid terrorism and terrorism training. He said he used
:13:44. > :13:48.religion as a cover to hide in plain sight and then went through a fairly
:13:49. > :13:52.detailed explanation of the case against Abu Hamza, saying for
:13:53. > :13:57.example, he sent two men in 1999 to Oregon to set up a terrorist
:13:58. > :14:01.training camp, assisted them in Yemen in 1988 by giving them a
:14:02. > :14:06.satellite telephone and he talks about the witnesses he was going to
:14:07. > :14:09.call. The defence attorney also gave his opening statement saying Abu
:14:10. > :14:13.Hamza had not participated in any of these acts and presenting in
:14:14. > :14:17.basically other decent man who had been misunderstood. He told the
:14:18. > :14:21.Journal of the the context and a lot of what they were going to hear in
:14:22. > :14:24.the trial had actually happened between -- before 911 when the world
:14:25. > :14:28.was viewed differently. When he went to Bosnia and Afghanistan, to some
:14:29. > :14:34.extent, he had been on the same side as the West at that point, and he
:14:35. > :14:41.said British intelligence in London had repeatedly approached him to try
:14:42. > :14:44.to keep situations that non-violent. And under control. So, he said to
:14:45. > :14:50.the jurors also that they would hear some very harsh things, that Abu
:14:51. > :14:55.Hamza has said in his speeches which would be played in the trial, but he
:14:56. > :14:59.-- they must member these are expressions of views and not crimes.
:15:00. > :15:02.Reminders about Abu Hamza because he had been hitting the headlines are
:15:03. > :15:07.graded in the UK, where he was at this very prominent mosque in north
:15:08. > :15:17.London. He fought in Afghanistan, where he suffered injuries.
:15:18. > :15:21.That is right. He was radicalised during the Afghan war against the
:15:22. > :15:26.Soviets. He also went to Bosnia to aid the Muslims there, and then he
:15:27. > :15:30.rose to prominence in the 1990s at the Finsbury Park Mosque in London
:15:31. > :15:35.where he had these very fiery speeches. MI5 did start watching him
:15:36. > :15:40.after 1997 but they never really took him that seriously at first.
:15:41. > :15:46.They thought he was sort of a noisy troublemaker. Eventually, though,
:15:47. > :15:49.they did invite him and jail him for inciting racial hatred and calling
:15:50. > :15:55.for murders in his very fiery speeches. Right around that time,
:15:56. > :16:00.the Americans decided he was also a factor in global jihad, as they
:16:01. > :16:04.called it, and they called for him to be extradited to New York. That
:16:05. > :16:08.was delayed for many years, partly because he was serving jail time in
:16:09. > :16:12.Britain, and partly because he and other terrorist suspects really
:16:13. > :16:20.fought extradition. He was brought here in 2012 and the trial has
:16:21. > :16:23.started now. Thank you. A presidential election is taking
:16:24. > :16:26.place in Algeria, with the veteran incumbent President Abdelaziz
:16:27. > :16:28.Bouteflika widely expected to win a fourth term in office. Mr
:16:29. > :16:32.Bouteflika, who suffered a stroke last year and rarely appears in
:16:33. > :16:36.public, cast his vote in a wheelchair. A coalition of Islamist
:16:37. > :16:39.and secular opposition parties have called for a boycott, saying the
:16:40. > :16:44.election will be a sham and that Mr Bouteflika is too ill to govern.
:16:45. > :16:47.With me is Mohamed Ben-Madani. He's editor and founder of the Maghreb
:16:48. > :16:57.Review, covering North Africa and the Middle East. Nice to meet you.
:16:58. > :17:08.He is going to win, isn't he? He is going to win. Everyone expected him
:17:09. > :17:13.to win. But his main principal challenger said that even if he
:17:14. > :17:22.loses, he will not accept the result. So if he wins, there will be
:17:23. > :17:30.chaos. It is hard to see how it will end. You are talking about the main
:17:31. > :17:36.opposition candidate, Ali Benflis. I'm talking about resident macro, if
:17:37. > :17:43.he wins. Why are the opposition calling for a boycott? The
:17:44. > :17:53.opposition organised a protest last Friday with 40,000 to protest
:17:54. > :18:00.against the election. They are protesting because Abdelaziz
:18:01. > :18:04.Bouteflika has not fulfilled his promise -- obligations. What
:18:05. > :18:12.obligations? Employment, jobs, poverty. It is a very rich country
:18:13. > :18:16.in natural resources, Algeria, but that does not create many jobs and
:18:17. > :18:24.you have a very young population. Is there a generation gap in Algeria,
:18:25. > :18:27.that older voters, perhaps like Abdelaziz Bouteflika because they
:18:28. > :18:31.remember the stability. There was all that terrible violence in the
:18:32. > :18:37.1990s and thousands of people died. He has 24% of the Algerian
:18:38. > :18:47.population with no jobs, despite the resources. You have almost 25% who
:18:48. > :18:52.are living under the poverty line. You have made that point but on this
:18:53. > :18:57.question of the fact that the RB, which backs Abdelaziz Bouteflika,
:18:58. > :19:06.the deep state, they have brought stability. -- the fact that the
:19:07. > :19:20.Army, which backs president-macro... Is he the candidate for stability?
:19:21. > :19:30.That is what he is proposing, but there are problems because of his
:19:31. > :19:35.old age and his health. He has not brought the economy... OK, but if he
:19:36. > :19:40.is ill and unable to take care of the day-to-day process of
:19:41. > :19:49.Government, who is running the show? His brother and the Army, and the
:19:50. > :19:53.small group around him will run the show. He's completely unfit to rule
:19:54. > :19:57.the country for now. And the Army will be watching very closely, and
:19:58. > :20:03.the reason they are supporting him is because they feel first that he
:20:04. > :20:07.has brought a little stability. He is the man who can manipulate and
:20:08. > :20:14.control the other political parties. Thank you very much.
:20:15. > :20:16.Voting has been taking place on the biggest day so far of India's
:20:17. > :20:20.marathon general election. Today, 121 parliamentary seats are up for
:20:21. > :20:22.grabs in 12 states. The main challenger to India's ruling
:20:23. > :20:25.Congress party is the Hindu nationalist BJP. Its candidate
:20:26. > :20:31.Narendra Modi is seen by critics as anti-Muslim. One of the key states
:20:32. > :20:35.going to the polls today is Rajasthan in Western India. Sanjoy

:20:45. > :20:49.one of the many who streamed in steadily to cast their vote. This is
:20:50. > :20:53.the most significant day of polling, and every vote counts in what is
:20:54. > :21:00.turning out to be a bitterly fought election. The voters are in an
:21:01. > :21:05.unforgiving mood. TRANSLATION: India should progress. We should get rid
:21:06. > :21:13.of corruption so that the poor and middle classes get the chance to
:21:14. > :21:17.move forward. TRANSLATION: Make things cheaper. Everything is
:21:18. > :21:23.becoming so expensive. We are finding it harder to manage. This

:21:47. > :21:49.well, large turnouts, many women as well. It usually means that they are
:21:50. > :21:53.trying to send a strong message. Wherever we go, they say the same
:21:54. > :21:56.thing - they are fed up with the politicians. 100km from Jaipur, they

:22:08. > :22:12.see the politicians during the election times." TRANSLATION: There
:22:13. > :22:16.are no jobs here. Delhi is 250km, 300km away, and Mumbai is even
:22:17. > :22:21.further. It's too far for our children to go looking for work.
:22:22. > :22:30.TRANSLATION: The politicians just lie to us all the time. In ten
:22:31. > :22:36.years, no one has built a road or a hospital. People here have been left
:22:37. > :22:47.out of India's progress, but they are hungry for change. And this is
:22:48. > :22:50.the one time they can push for it. As Christians get ready to celebrate
:22:51. > :22:53.one of their main festivals, Easter, a survey of 65 countries suggests
:22:54. > :22:59.that most people believe religion has a beneficial role in society.
:23:00. > :23:04.66,000 people were surveyed by the company WIN/Gallup. Indonesia came
:23:05. > :23:09.out as the country most supportive of religion. Africa was the most
:23:10. > :23:18.supportive region. The United States topped developed countries. Let's
:23:19. > :23:25.talk some more about this. I am joined by our religious affairs
:23:26. > :23:31.correspondent, Robert Pigott. An interesting survey. And one not done
:23:32. > :23:36.very regularly but what it showed, what it hides is as interesting as
:23:37. > :23:38.what it reveals. They asked people how positively they regarded
:23:39. > :23:41.religion in its role in their own country and they subtracted from
:23:42. > :23:48.that how negatively people thought as well. Some felt positive, some
:23:49. > :23:52.negative. They got a score for each country. 95% of people in Indonesia
:23:53. > :23:57.thought of religion played a positive role in their country.
:23:58. > :24:03.Africa came at... The vast majority of people in Indonesia are Muslim.
:24:04. > :24:07.Yes. Africa is partly Muslim and partly Christian, and has
:24:08. > :24:12.traditional religions as well. The Middle East and North Africa was the
:24:13. > :24:17.next region. Roughly 55% positive. Then you begin to look at roles
:24:18. > :24:24.which are less positive than that. Is it across already genes? Some of
:24:25. > :24:28.the areas you have cited, Indonesia, end of the nation, although it has
:24:29. > :24:34.non-Muslim people living there as well, Middle East, Africa, was it
:24:35. > :24:42.mainly Muslims who said they value religion? Muslims came out top of
:24:43. > :24:51.the people who view religion as being a positive force in their
:24:52. > :24:57.country. But Protestant Christians also. Hindus were one of the least
:24:58. > :25:02.favourable of the role religion played in the country. Which region
:25:03. > :25:06.was the most negative towards religion? Western Europe was
:25:07. > :25:16.conspicuously the most negative and there are also to be just impossible
:25:17. > :25:19.reasons. Could it be because religious institutions are
:25:20. > :25:24.unpopular, could it be to do with the sex scandal in the church? There
:25:25. > :25:34.is also the link between educational achievement and the religion. The
:25:35. > :25:40.higher your education is, the least likely you are to favour religion.
:25:41. > :25:43.At each stage, you find a greater negative net feeling towards
:25:44. > :25:49.religion. So could it be that the most educated areas of the world
:25:50. > :25:54.have that view? Did atheists see any merit at all in religion for their
:25:55. > :25:58.fellow citizens the believers? Not a lot in the overall school but four
:25:59. > :26:05.out of ten it think so, so they did see a positive role for religion. --
:26:06. > :26:13.the overall score. And that is because religion, in essence, is a
:26:14. > :26:23.good code for leading a good life when you take out ritual elements.
:26:24. > :26:27.If you live in Africa do you see the big conflict between the themes and
:26:28. > :26:32.Christians in Nigeria as being a religious one or tribal one? Thank
:26:33. > :26:35.you. Prince William and his wife, the Duchess of Cambridge, have been
:26:36. > :26:38.visiting one of the areas devastated by Australian bush fires just six
:26:39. > :26:40.months ago. The royal couple visited the Blue
:26:41. > :26:44.Mountains, speaking to people affected by the fires, before taking
:26:45. > :26:47.in the view. They met local leaders, members from the emergency services,
:26:48. > :26:51.and fire volunteers. The Duke and Duchess began their ten-day tour of
:26:52. > :26:59.Australia on Wednesday. That is it from us. Goodbye.
:27:00. > :27:06.After today's extra cloud, pressure is building for the start of the
:27:07. > :27:08.Easter weekend. Friday and Saturday not the warmest,
