hello. i'm geeta guru-murthy with "bbc world news". our top stories. the prime minister says nothing of significance has been found as the search for the missing malaysian airliner. voting for the annexation of crimea. it comes as they sign an

agreement for closer ties. >> we will show to the entire world that ukraine shares the values and we can together be successful. teenage gunman shoot dead nine people, including women and children in kabul. and turkey's president challenges the block on twitter imposed by the prime minister. nearly two weeks after the disappearance of flight mh-370, reconnaissance planes are searching a remote location in the southern indian ocean for a second day. australia dispatched three military planes to the area. one has already returned.

a specialist u.s. navy jet, ps-8 poseidon had also participating in the search. these are the satellite images here taken five days ago that sparked that search. both seems to be awash with water. it is possible they have sunk. this is the area they are of course still searching. they are flying low level to try to carry out visual checks. so far they are so far from the base they can only search for about two hours before they have to go back to perth simply because they have run out of fuel. malaysian authorities say while the search continues in the southern indian ocean they are still checking areas to the north.

>> they have not found anything. er waiting to use a staging point for the operations. the background checks on the passengers have come back clear. >> well, the captain of one of the royal australian air force planes involved in the seven has been speaking about his mission shortly after touching down in perth. >> we had really good weather actually compared to what we saw yesterday. visibility was great. we had better than 120 kilometers visibility. there was no rain in the area. there are a few aircraft out there.

they are out there shortly. i have to go now. thanks for your time. >> what's the latest, jonah? >> well, we have heard in the last couple of minutes, geeta that the search in australia is over for the day. all the planes have returned without finding these two objects which they have been searching for 1,500 miles, about 2,500 kilometers off the southwestern coast of australia. there were four surveillance planes out today. three from australia, one from the united states. and also a commercial jet hired to fly over the area with people looking out looking for some sort of sign that correlated with these satellite pictures. today, though, conditions were better. no success in terms of locating

those two pieces. they would have dropped a buoy and relayed that information to the ships. the ships will have to wait and see whether the planes do the work. >> tell us a little bit about what the other ships that are approaching the area will add to the operation. what can they do? >> they don't have the range, the speed, the capability. one big piece 24 meters in size, the other 5 meters in size. there is no way they are going to be able to run an effective search. the thinking is if this debris

is from mh-370, the ships will be well position said to go in. one of the australian ships has a crane on board. they will be able to lift any debris out of the water to have a closer look at it. obviously they will want to shift quickly to find the black box recorder. so they will be putting phones in the water listening for signals from the black box recorder. after two weeks, even if they do find this defree, the actual site where the wreckage of the plane may be where the black box may be may be a considerable distance away from any debris that's found now. >> we still don't know whether this debris is even linked to the missing plane. jonah, we will leave it there for now. thank you. several developments in the fast-moving crisis in crimea. they have ratified the agreement annexing crimea will be signed into law shortly by president

putin. ukraine's interim government signed key parts of the partnership deal with the european union which sparked the whole crisis in the first place. >> in signing this treaty, we will show to the entire world, that we are together, ukraine shares the european values and we can together be successful. we do understand that this is a very bumpy road. we will deliver everything that the ukrainian people we are fighting for. let me commemorate those who gave their lives for this treaty too and for our freedoms and liberties and our european feature. >> what will it mean for the relationship with europe?

matthew price is in brussels. >> essentially that's greater political cooperation, the first stage of it between ukraine and the eu. this is actually part of the agreement which cat likewised the whole series of events back in november. the agreement that european union thought it was going to be able to do with the former authorities in kiev. at the last moment they pulled out. i mean, as those political provisions, greater cooperation between the eu and the ukraine have signed, is this the right moment to be doing that? it is a real stick in the eye, isn't it? from their perspective, it is escalating the situation. >> i definitely think it is the right moment to do it. a lot of people are only talking about targeted sanctions.

i had a chance to speak to the ukrainian prime minister. he was happy that the political agreement is signed today. this is the probably the biggest move right now. it is a fight between the souls of the east and the west. to sign it with an interim leader not elected by the people when there are elections in a few months's time, certainly democracy would judge you better. >> i'm sure that treaty will be ratified with the new government. the economic side, which is also important, will be signed at a later stage. i think symbolically this is the best move the european union can do right now.

by doing this today, ukraine further into the european union always. that is an escalation of the situation. also the summary says you will do this as well with georgia and moldova. >> i was very involved in the war of georgia in 2008. i was foreign minister. at the time i said unfortunate politics is back on the borders. again, what we are trying to use is soft power. that meanings you bring down the powers. we are trying to basically tie our economies so closely together that conflict is impossible. we want to do that at the end of the day with russia as well. we use soft power. the russians use hard power. >> did they miss something in 2008 with georgia. the same issues on the agenda the same as they are today.

they were talking in 2008 and didn't do anything. >> well, two points on this. georgia and ukraine are different in the sense that georgia was trying to become a nato member. russia reacted to that. ukraine is not doing that. second point, i do think that the european unified position is much closer than it was in 2008. this means that basically the energy issue is going to become the key issue the next three years. i think we lost an opportunity in 2008. at this stage all europeans must understand we must diversify otherwise we will be in this situation for a time to company. >> alexander stub talking to matthew price in brussels. nine people, including four foreigners have been killed in a luxury hotel attack.

david is in kabul. it brings it close to hope those covering in afghanistan. what's happened today? >> well, it is ironic that a very well known and distinguished journalist working for the associated front press news agency. he basically set up a very well known figure indeed in the journalistic community. and a number of my colleagues paying respects. a real sense of shock. such an irony on him being with his family on new year's eve last night celebrating. they just happened to be the people sitting closest to the door when these four young men came in armed we understand now

with very small pistols, which is one of the reason why they had to go quite close to people to kill them. and these pistols were smuggled into the hotel in overlarge shoes they were wearing, strapped to their ankles in a blue fabric that apparently concealed them from the hotel security. you can imagine last night with lost of guests, functions going on, many diplomats and observers here staying in that hotel ahead of the election in a couple weeks's time. it is the number one taliban target. they have done it before. these attackers have gotten through. >> another sad day in afghanistan. david, thank you. stay with us here on "bbc world news". business, including russia's stock market and credit rating fall as the westin creases

this is "bbc world news". i'm geeta guru-murthy. i have the latest headlines for you. the hunt for the missing malaysian airliner is over for the day as all the planes returned from the search area in the indian ocean. the deputy prime minister says nothing of significance has been found yet. the east and west move further apart. the upper house of the russian parliament ratifies the annexation of crimea. it comes as the european union and ukraine sign an agreement on closer political corporation. a court in mumbai sentenced four men to life in prison after

rape. after the photographer's case made news, the telephone operator came forward to register the complaint. more now on the reaction from russian markets on sanctions. maryam is here. how big a reaction? >> quite big actually. today we have seen significant drops in the russian market. the main market fell by 3% in the first hours of trading as investors responded to moves and countermoves in the crisis over crimea. but in the last few hours the european union signed an agreement with ukraine promising closer economic and political ties. president putin has responded by saying he will protect a russian bank subject to sanctions. we'll have more on that story

throughout the day here on "bbc world news". significant progress has been made. the imft arrived three weeks ago to discuss the economic situation and possible bailout program. ukraine's new government said it desperately needs cash to cover expenses and avert possible debt default. during the british finance minister's budget he endorsed a 25% tax break for the uk film industry and reassured investors these were long-term measures supported by the measures. in 2013 the uk film industry received $1.5 billion of investment as foreign film companies boosted the sector's bottom line.

more on "world business report" throughout the day. markets very much in focus today. this is the index. rts down 2.5%. the rest of europe in contrast having a good end at the time week for ftse. up 25 points. dax in is up 43 points. >> charges have been brought over female genital mutilation. a doctor in hospital in london is alleged to have performed the operation on a woman who gave

birth there. the turkish president challenged his own ban on twitter. they took to the blogging website himself to say a complete shutdown was unacceptable. the eu expressed its own misgivings as twitter largely ignored a court order to block links alleging high-level corruption in suckery. some have been finding ways around the twitter ban. >> it's friday morning at the bbc news desk in istanbul. twitter was suddenly blocked late last night. the block hasn't been that effective. if you're techno lodgically savy

enough to get on, you are technologically sound enough to get on twitter. >> joining us from ankara. can you use twitter at the moment? >> actually i was on it last night and this morning. i'm the least technologically savvy person in the world. obviously it heat affected me one way or the other. in fact, i didn't know there was a ban until i read about it on twitter, which is very ironic. >> i have to say i'm the least technologically savvy person in the world. so i will beat you on that. we have heard from james reynolds. what do you think, though, is going on here with the prpl's office?

it shows a certain level of panic? >> well, you have to be reminded that the government and the prime minister are not operating under a normal political environment. you can see that the president's reactions on twitter as well. the president said it is impossible to ban it completely, which shows why i was able to access it. elections are coming up. they tie into the first presidential elections and a national election. you have a movement that holds key positions in government. and there's this big war going on for the movement.

it has completely gone out of the window. it is a new political match going on. it is happening in a very unorthodox way. it has also been quite strange. it's been extremely vicious and extremely polarizing. and i think because of that it let an overall atmosphere of hysteria. >> we have heard that the president has possibly sent a tweet toe denounce the prime minister's actions. have you seen that? >> yes. he said this is not -- there's no way you can actually condone the banning of twitter. that's right. this is also telling you this is a strange political environment. it is impossible to tell what's going on in his mind. i think he is trying to shut off everything else and reach out to

his party base, his supporting base. it is trying to manipulate i think all sides the political arena. and social media is part of that. >> i'm sorry. sorry to cut you off. thank you very much indeed for joining us. to moscow because president putin has appeared. we are expecting him to be formally finalizing the crimea annexation. and we have seen of course several images throughout the week earlier. very powerful speech from vladimir putin giving the whole historic emotional case for russia's link with crimea and

sevastopol. we have heard a number of lines from the president saying they don't want to retaliate against the u.s. in sanctions. but we heard russia's market has been hit today. and vladimir putin also saying he is going to support the bank that has been marked on sanctions by the united states. we are seeing the chairman of the upper house speaking at the moment. also today, another democratic development and the whole ukraine question. the eu has signed a deal today with the ukraine. of course that is an interim government. but it does go back to the original deal that sparked this whole crisis. which way does it go, east or west? we have seen already part of the ukraine territory has been split. we are expecting vladimir putin

to finalize the annexation today. we will keep you updated on that. in the last few minutes, australia pulled off his seven for the day for possible debris from the missing malaysia airlines plane.

well, it all comes just as the european union and ukraine's interim government sign an agreement on closer ties. >> in signing this treaty we will show to the entire world that we are together, that ukraine shares european values and we can together be successful. >> teenage taliban gunmen shoot dead nine people, including women and children at a luxury hotel in kabul. >> and turkey's president challenges the block on twitter, imposed by the prime minister by tweeting himself. within the past hour, australia called off its search for the day for possible debris from flight mh 370.

three military planes and a long-range civilian aircraft has been combing a remote location in the indian ocean. p-8 poseidon has also been on the search. the secret vanished shortly after takeoff from kuala lumpur. one piece of debris is described as being 25 meters long. the other five meters. well, this is the area they have been of course looking at to the north and south areas flying low level and close formation in the indian ocean. of course they are very far from base. they have only been able to spend two hours searching before

having to return back to perth. this report from ball adams. another long day of looking across the vast expanse of the ocean. this is a sophisticated aircraft but crew members spend long hours doing it the old-fashioned way. conditions are much better than thursday but there is still no sign of mh-370. for two days these ghostly images have dominated the international effort. they may have already sunk. there seems to little else to go on. >> although the search area is much smaller than we started with, it nonetheless is a big area when you're looking at the window and trying to see

something by eye. we may have to do this a few teams to be confident about the coverage of the search area. >> orion returned to base empty handed. exhausting work for the crew but no one is giving up yet. >> i have a lot of hope. with conditions the way they are, hopefully it will be found soon. >> the daily briefing brought little news. the authorities have been criticized for their handling of the information. he still cannot provide the answers families crave. >> it is very, very difficult. the one question is the answer we do not have, which is where are their loved ones and where is the airplane? >> it is now two weeks since

mh-370 disappeared with 239 people on board. two weeks of looking and theorizing, the hunt goes on. but no one knows if we're even looking in the right place. paul adams, "bbc world news". >> jonathan head is at the search headquarters in perth in western australia. >> we are watching the planes come and go. only a small number of aircraft that can cover the distance. we're talking 2.5 thousand kilometers. these are four engine turboprop planes request quite sophisticated sonar and radar. the australian have had three of

them today on very long trips. a long-range jet they have have been putting out. and the americans have sent out their most sophisticated plane. p-8 poseidon. they can't do much more than that. the journey is so long out to the indian ocean. team time they go and gone the scenes where the debris they think might have been on the satellite pictures might have moved. if they don't find it then, they mark it off and move on to another. we have seen it expand further and further southeast we believe following the currents as they cover more and more areas in the hope that they find whatever the satellite pictures show. australian officials are stressing two things. one is you have to be cautious. they suggest they have enough

information. they believe it could well be debris. the pilot says they are still determined. they think they will find something. >> is there a possibility of sending ships, aircraft carriers out to that range so the planes can certain for longer. we keep hearing about the limitations because of fuel and flying time. >> the kind of aircraft they are using are very large planes. they are the ones they believe have the best chance of finding the debris. they are challenged by the sheer remoteness. very few aircraft are suited to this task. a lot of them operating in this part of the word are down here.

australians have three. the p-8 had to go be serviced because the number of flights they have been making the last two weeks. the resources are frankly limited. most just aren't suitable. >> jonathan head there in perth. several developments this morning in the fast moving crisis in crimea. they have now ratified the agreement annexing crimea. it has been signed into law in the last couple of minutes by flood mere putin. we saw of course of course a dramatic emotional speech at times, very patable by vladimir putin. saying they would put the legal process through now to bring crimea, as they see it, back

into the mother land. well, let me go now to moscow. we have a guest. rafael sarcoff joins us. this is the signing off of the deal. >> sanctions from u.s. and the eu. and sergei lavrov said it is really difficult, the wrong decisions about sagzs. he said there should be a dialogue. russia is waiting for that with the eu. however, these sanctions have threatened a couple of russian banks. one of them is the bank in the

sanctions yesterday from the united states of america. this bank and the s&p led by the brothers who were on the least. they were had he today blocked by visa and mastercard offering assistance. so now a lot of people can't use their cards. it's already one of the steps. >> president putin saying he's going to protect the bank. saying the united states singled it out. it is controlled by an associate of putin. as you said, people can't use their cards, a number of people. that's going to effect people quite badly. >> that's right. it's already affecting people. they are writing about it in social networks. they are not happy about it.

and president putin said he is going to move his salary to bank. he will ask his assistants to do it. he said we should defend our banks. he had the banks should not be just in the center of this crisis between congress and between russia and the west. >> okay. rafael we will have to leave it there. thank you very much. stay with us here on "bbc world news". much more to come. a special report from chicago. flooding the streets of america. ♪ ♪ ♪ told ya you could do it.

this is "bbc world news". i'm geeta guru-murthy. the latest headlines. the hunt for the missing

malaysian airliner is over for the day as all the planes have returned from the southern indian ocean. australia's deputy prime minister says nothing of significance has yet been found. it is possible it might have sunk the debris at sea. president putin signs the annexation of ukraine into law. it comes just as the european union and ukraine sign a deal on closer political cooperation. more on the crisis in ukraine. russia console dates its control over crimea. the new ukrainian government is promising justice. chris morris reports from kiev. >> reporter: independence square is full of flowers and people.

many of them have camped and cooked here for months and have no plan toss leave. they dare to kick us out. we are the people. glory to ukraine. this group from western ukraine. still we are net sure. we will be sure. >> event versus moved with extraordinary speed. the attention has shifted away towards crimea and eastern ukraine. emotions are running pretty high here. plenty of questions remain unanswered. one month ago it was a massacre. more than 80 people killed. many by sniper fire.

the last days of president yanukovych's rule. the dead are now known as the heavenly hundred. their faces are everywhere. there's frustration that no one has been brought to justice. the new government is asking for a little more time. >> we're working in difficult circumstances. and the heavenly hundred are living in our hearts. we have given all the video evidence to the investigators. all the information we can find. i can't say much more. we want to be able to punish the guilty. >> early last month this video was posted to youtube. >> i'm the ukrainian, native of kiev. >> it's been viewed for than 10 million times. >> it was ordinary, normal people. >> but the young woman who made the video is still trying to come to terms with what happened

here. >> of course i have guilty and anger. why didn't i stop them? why didn't i do anything to stop them. it's very hard. the progress was bigger than anyone could imagine. no one expected putin to do the steps. >> the terrible events here haven't been forgotten. with crimea all that is gone and russia flexing muscles, the internal battle has been overshadowed by external threat. now, chancellor angela merkel's government has criticized the turk in government for blocking access to twitter. earlier today the turkish president took to twitter to challenge his own prime minister's ban. earlier the eu suppressed its

own misgivings about the shutdown. it comes as twitter users blocked links alleging high-level corruption in turkey. sell lean garrett is in istanbul. are people still able to access twitter? >> yes, they are, but through back doors if i may put that it way. they are accessing twitter from their mobile phones. yesterday it was past 11th local time. and people started tweeting each other. are you able to tweet? i'm having problems. gradually the ban took over all

the other platforms. the ban did not work in that sense. many took to twitter to post. even the president posted six tweets, one after another today. apparently showing his disapproval of the blanket ban on the social website. and he said he hoped that this would be over soon. not only the president, although he is the highest figure to have posted on twitter. but they have been figures like influential mayor of the capital. one after another is happening.

people see nothing to take their eyes off twitter in case they missed anything. >> just very briefly, they have been facing corruption allegations. is he afraid of spreading on that or something deeper? we saw it fueled by social media. >> there are speculations being made that there will be further leaks on twitter and on youtube or some similar website about further corruption allegations or further allegations that would harm the reputation of the prime minister. but these are yet only speculations. and we can't really comment what might happen. but in something like that happens we can probably safely say that maybe this was the cause of the ban on twitter. >> many thanks. nine people, including four

foreigners, v killed in an attack on a luxury hotel in kabul. it was carried out as four teenagers posing as diners before they opened fire. we heard a journalist and his wife and two children were amongst those who were killed. david reports from kabul. >> well, it is ironic that he was a very well known journalist working for the front press news agency. a very well known figure indeed in the journalistic community. there he was with his family on what was new year's eve. it's new year's day today. they were celebrating. they happened to be the people

sitting closest to the door. four came in with weus tolls, which is why they had to go quite close to people to kill them. they were smuggled into the hotel in overlarge shoes they were wearing or strapped to their ankles in a blue fabric that apparently concealed them from the hotel security. you can imagine with functions going on many diplomats and observers saying in the hotel ahead of the election in a couple weeks's time. although there was tight security because it is the number one taliban target, they have hit it before, these attackers appeared to have got through. >> david loin there in kabul. we're just getting details of an extraordinary story from france. four children have apparently been found in a locked flat they appeared not to have left since birth. let's go to our correspondent in paris.

hugh scofield is there. what details do you have, hugh? >> just as you say. it seems there was a family originally from india living in the the northern paris neighborhoods, very poor neighborhood. there were three boys and a baby girl. the authorities became aware of their existence for the first time when the baby girl was born a couple of months ago. they were suspicious because the mother did not seem particularly interested in the baby. they felt there was probably some story there. so they sent social services to this apartment. they found three boys, age 2, 5, and 6 living in appalling circumstances. it looked as if they had never left the flat. the boys could barely speak. the two elder boys could barely speak even though wherp 5 and 6.

they could barely walk. they are undernourished. it seems they had never left the flat in all their lives. it is one of these terrible stories stories. the parents were from india. had very little grasp of french. now the social services and the authorities and the children ombudsman are trying to figure out how they passed through social services. >> where the parents and the children now? >> well, the parents have been charged. they're in jail waiting to face trial for deprivation of care to relatives. it's a french charge in french law. the children, the two elder with foster parents. the baby girl in another kind of home. that's presumably where now they will be brought up. we will just have to see whether the charges stick against the

parents. >> difficult to imagine how you keep a family locked up. horrific. this is a built up area. lots of families in and around. have any of the neighbors been questioned? >> i'm sure they will be. this all handled several weeks ago. it's come out now because a couple of newspapers got a hold of it. they have gone public and said they are looking into this affair and trying to find out how it could have happened. the two aspects of the social services side. the elder children were born in france and should have had follow-up care under the french system. it doesn't seem to have

happened. why in a social setting there was no alert given. if this couple were very extremely secretive and reclusive and never went out and really had no contact with the neighbors and if they kept the children locked up and maybe there were no immediate neighbors. maybe it was a block of flats where maybe the flats were empty. and that's quite possible. i don't know. you can build up a picture of complete isolation for this family. maybe they were totally lost in the area of modern paris. >> very sad. thanks very much indeed. before we go, a reminder of our top story. within the last half hour, australia has called off its search for the day for possible defree from the missing malaysian airlines plane.
