hello. you're watching "gmt" on bbc world news. i'm tim wilcox. our top stories. president putin admits the first time russian forces were on the ground in crimea before and during the referendum. the denial though that russian soldiers are in eastern ukraine as four party talks on the crisis are held in geneva. the hunt for missing school children as the ferry capsized, the captain is questioned. >> i am really sorry.

i am deeply ashamed. i cannot put it into words. >> also the 77-year-old president seeking a fourth term in algeria where 80% of the population is under 45. also on the program, the chinese tech giant going public today. >> absolutely tim. china's version of twitter, weibo on the nasdaq hopes to raise hundreds of millions of. some of the world's biggest tech shares have taken a battery. has weibo missed its moment? hello. it is midday here in london. 1:00 in geneva, 3:00 in moscow where president putin admitted the first time russian forces were on the ground in crimea before and during the

referendum. he denied soldiers are engaged at that time moment in eastern ukraine. hours after three protestors were killed trying to take over a base there, mr. putin in his annual phone in says he hoped he wouldn't have to use what he hoped was his right in russian troops. four party talks are held in geneva to discuss the crisis. >> the bombs fly at the guard base in the area under attack during the night from pro russian militants. the attack failed and according to ukrainian authorities left three pro russians dead and more than a dozen injured. looks like more evidence of kiev struggled to reach control in the east of the country. it's an unhappy backdrop to the latest diplomatic push in geneva to diffuse the crisis. >> they're sitting down around

at least the same table. hopes aren't high here. previous diplomacy has gotten nowhere. from washington a warning not to escalate the situation further. >> each time russia takes these steps that are designed to destabilize ukraine and violate sovereignty the, there are going to be consequences. what you've already seen is the russian economy weaker, capital fleeing out of russia. mr. putin's decisions are not just bad for ukraine, over the long term they're bad for russia. >> mr. putin himself in the russian television phone-in said geneva talks are important and called for dialogue. also a condemnation of the government and denial of direct russian interference in eastern ukraine. >> this is all non sense. there are no russians in the east ukraine. no instructors, no special

services. these are all local residents. the best proof of that is that people are literally have taken off their masks. >> also from the russian leader, an acknowledgment that russian units were in crimea before and perhaps ominously he hopes he won't have to use military forces in eastern ukraine. the pro russian groups, whoever they are, are very much manning the barricades. here in donetsk and elsewhere in eastern ukraine in what remines a high stakes battle of wills in the country and beyond. bbc news. >> we just heard from nik. three are killed in the military base there. james reynolds has been to the site of that clash. error report this is the aftermath of last night's attack on this interior ministry compound. officials here say the attack by pro russian protestors started

8:00 in the evening. we're told it got violent 10:00 in the evening. this is one of the jeeps damaged and almost entirely smashed up. if you look here, this guy with the clipboard is one of the officials noting the damage. this lady has the numbers pointing out the damage here. essentially last night, protestors managed to get to the gate. you may see the gates which were smashed in. they managed to get a bit further than that. we're told 10:00 in the evening t interior military forces starting firing back. that battle went on until 1:00. a number of attackers were injured. what you see here gives evidence of the difficulty faced by the ukrainian authorities in eastern ukraine. they want to take back the

buildings they lost to russian forces. they haven't been able to and now defending their own bases. >> let's go to geneva where the four party takes are take place. we are joined from there now. oppositions are entrenched as they were before this morning? >> reporter: well these talks are not over yet tim. we're hearing they may just be winding up. we don't know yet -- i have to be honest -- whether there's any agreement. obviously everybody hopes so. they'll be focussed given the events overnight in eastern ukraine. the fact people have died. i would say i thought the ukrainian foreign minister arriving at the talks looked nervous events overnight were not good for ukrainian government. troops looked on the back foot. they looked as if they weren't welcomed by the population.

lavrov however said i'm not in the expecting situation. he's the guy that feels he's in the driving seat as far as policy. we've heard he might be going to give a press conference on his own after these talks not together with americans or european union as originally thought. that's a rumor. i can't confirm that. we're waiting now to hear in the next hour, hour and a half, whether anything positive will have come out of these rather short talks on a very difficult, tense situation. >> for now, thank you very much. as we were hearing, president putin is taking part in his annual live phone-in. a lot of questions on ukraine. interestingly also, a question from edward snowden, cia whistle

blower who asked president putin live on television about the surveillance program. putin denies the collection of citizen's data. that's just relevant to the situation in ukraine. bbc's europe hub. what do we learn about president putin's public strategy about what russia wants in ukraine? >> we know by now that information is a new kind of warfare he puts focus on. the way the propaganda machine has started working in the past half year or so or more than half a year when most electronic media become under government control. everything they do where intended to interfere. also prepare the listening for

the audience inside russia and outside russia to the policies that the it's going to promote. >> today he admitted russian forces had been on the ground in crimea, something he denied before. is there evidence in terms of what these militia are carrying, clothing their wearing, that these are genuine russian soldiers pretending to be something else? >> in crimea it was a different situation. the russian forces were stationed there before the crisis started. as russian authorities put it, the special forces, troops they used as mr. putin said to make sure the referendum goes freely, voting is free and obscured without influence from kiev, that was from the troops stationed in crimea.

in eastern ukraine, situation is different. russians insist there's no special submersion groups working there. of course we could look at picture, see brand new ammunition and guns. >> which are carried exclusively by russian troops. >> absolutely. and radio stations issued to russians on the last year. the question is unanswered where those come from. >> briefly, interesting just to see -- president putin saying the federation felt threatened by the expansion of nato. this is something he said before but almost justification for what is happening at moment. >> he's always insisted that. that's the strategy he's chosen. advisors chosen for him by the government. at the end of the day, we have to look at the process how nato

developed. if you look outside -- we saw nato 1991 one thing and then countries joined nato. then today we can see a nato countries voting with russia. if nato wants to station troops and hardware next to russia, that hasn't happened. four air crafts patrolling baltic states up to the crisis. only four. what kind of danger that is for russia. russian understanding is indifferent. russia wants to be member of big boys club in a way. that's what mr. putin sees himself. that didn't happen. that hurt his personal opinion so much that he decided to take it out on ukraine. >> thank you very much indeed. south korea's president says time is running out to find more survivors from the ferry that

capsized and sank with hundreds of high school students on board. visiting the scene of the disaster now, every minute is crucial. the the rescue effort is hampered by bad eweather. james' report contains some flash photography. this shows efforts to rescue before the ferry went down. among those, one carried off in a life jacket. later, hospital staff gathered around her bed. a chocolate bar is given for her comfort. the fate of her family is unknown. dive teams tried to enter the ferry overnight but were prevented by strong currents. authorities say they're doing

all they can to increase the chances of people's survival if they're allowed inside the ferry. >> the best way forward is to put oxygen into the cabins so that the survivor time will be increased. as i said before, strong currents and poor visibility are hampering the rescue efforts. >> those that managed to escape say they were told to stay in their seats and cabins. once the ferry began to lift, many found it difficult to get out. water flooded the power floor. investigators are now looking into unconfirmed reports the captain may have been one of the first to jump to safety. shielding his face, the captain

expressed regret for what happened. >> i am really sorry. i am deeply ashamed. i cannot put it into words. >> relatives of those missing disembarked from a boat. it was provided so they could look at where the ship lies. they wrapped warm blankets to keep warm. two were overwhelmed and had to be carried off by stretchers. those who survived have been describing their ordeal. >> translator: i held a hand rail and moved toward the right side of the ferry to ride a helicopter. water kept coming in. trash cans were floating. water came up to my neck. >> south korea's president has been to visit the disaster site. exactly why the ferry sank remains a mystery.

conditions at sea were calm and visibility was good. a full investigation will come later. for now, all efforts are focused on finding the missing passengers. james frances kelly, bbc news. >> we heard the search for survivors is hampered by the atrocious weather, murky water and mud mixed in the water. there are many challenges rescuers are facing. >> reporter: rescueers are battling bad weather. this ship is setting off to the side of where the ferry sank. it will take hoboats an hour ana half to get to the wreckage. the focus is to get divers down

into the wreckage of the ferry to see whether or not there are any survivors. conditions not only here but out at sea are extremely difficult. divers say that it's almost impossible to get into the ferry at the moment. there's very strong currents. visibility is also poor because the currents are kick up mud from the seabed. >> let's speak to sarah peterson an english teacher from south korea. she saw it unfold from her classroom window. thanks for joining us. describe what you saw initially and what happened after that. >> from the location of my classroom, i can see the highway in and out of the island as well as the median location where the families and those that are rescued are meeting. about 9:30 yesterday morning an influx of ambulance arrived

anywhere from 30 to 50. we lost count of how many were coming in immediately. that's when we first knew something was definitely wrong. >> could you actually see the ferry itself capsizing? >> from my location, no. we could not see -- we're more on the center of the island. this was obviously off the coast. >> what is the atmosphere like on the island at the moment? are parents of these missing teenagers physically trying to get as close to the accident scene as possible? >> yes, absolutely. they came in yesterday afternoon. 240 parents arrived. they came to the island. the atmosphere is a bit chaotic really. our island is small. there's not much room to accommodate people. the community here is doing their very best to host all these people coming from politicians to the parents to the access rescue workers.

>> have some of the survivors been brought in there as well? there must have been huge relief for their families if they were on the island. >> they were brought back. from our window yesterday we saw a helicopter and what appeared to be students, those rescued, wrapped in blankets. helicopter landed on our lawn. they transported from there to the meeting place. the joy i can only imagine what the joy must have been. >> what's the reaction to the fact the captain is being questioned about being one of the fist to abandon ship? >> many were furious. from koreans i have spoken to they're very upset with the situation. the general feel is it was his

moral only obligation to stay with the ship. teachers and students and other civilians didn't make it. >> thank you for joining us here on "gmt" today. stay with us on bbc world news. still to come, protests in algeria before polls even open. the opposition coming from boycott. stay with us.

. welcome back. let's catch up on other stories making the headlines today. the murder trial of the sprinter oscar pistorius is expected to adjourn shortly for over a night. he's accused of deliberately shooting his girlfriend reeva steenkamp that died early valentine's day last year. the judge interrupted today's hearing to issue a warning to speck atta hearing to issue a warning to speck atttors as they cheered a

shouted watching the case. more than a hundred girls kidnapped are still missing. the girls ages between 16 and 18 were taken from their boarding school by suspected members of boko haram. the president is in an emergency security meeting. a remote control submarine completed the first successful scan of the ocean bed for the missing malaysian flight 370. two previous missions were cut short because of technical difficulties. it's more than four weeks since the jet went missing. still no cue on how or why the plane disappeared. the polls have opened in alger algeria's presidential election with the president seeking a

fourth term. bouteflika is 77 and virtually incapacitated after suffering a stroke last year. he's hardly seen in public and hasn't done campaigning. some say he's too sick to rule the country where most the population is under the age of 45. opposition groups have called for a boycott of the election. there's been protests in the streets. we are joined now by carine in algeria. what opposition has been ahead of the polls and what sort of turnout? >> reporter: well the main question today will be whether the boycott of the elections or against the fourth term for bouteflika will prevail. it's whether many will participate in voting or whether

or not bouteflika has convinced people these elections do matter. >> it's interesting when you look at demographic of algeria with a young population, what are main grievances in terms of direction this country is going in? >> reporter: well the main concern economical and social concern for young men and women of this nation, jobs and finding a decent and permanent job is one of the main challenges. as you said, the proportion of young people in the population is really high. most of them haven't even had one stable job before 30 or 35 years old. that means a lot of trouble for them. what they want, they want a better life, better economic conditions on top of this political reform and more freedom. >> we're pointing out algeria is

significant economically isn't it, especially europe and gas supplies? >> reporter: well, definitely. 90% of the revenue and budget in algeria comes from hydro carbons. this is a major major thing for this country. it's been a curse for some because the economy hasn't been diversified for ages. that's one of the reasons why there's this high rate of unemployment in the country. young people don't find good jobs in the country. therefore people are asking for more and more of this wealth to be trickled down to different groups. >> with the latest on polling day in algeria, thank you very much indeed. you're watching "gmt." coming up, we'll take you live to india. half way through the marathon elections, one of the biggest

hello to you. >> reporter: hello from the capital known for rich history in heritage, fantastic palaces. you can see the example behind me. the 200-year-old palace. this is one of the states that voting on this critical day, 121 constituencies spread across 12 states, north and south which is known as the india ip capital. far east and this area known to favor one party over the other. the general sense if we get a good turnout today, it's bad news for congress party facing the strong challenge from the bjp. earlier today i visited one of the polling stations here in jaupol to get a sense of how the

day was progressing. >> the helping hand to enable her to enter the polling stations, she's one of many that streamed in steadily to cast her vote. every vote counts in whichat is bitter election. voters are in an unforgiving mood. >> we should get rid of corruption so that the poor and middle classes get a chance to move forward. >> translator: make things cheaper. everything is becoming so expensive. we're finding it harder to manage. >> this building is more than 10 years old, one of the city's oldest polls converted into a polling station. you can see the number of women that turned out today. it's something we saw in the earlile phases of the election as well.

large turnouts and many women. it means they're trying to send a strong message. they say the same thing, they're fed up. >> 100 kilometers they're focused on elections too. in the village, the pace of life hasn't changed much over the years. there's been hardly any development. in the village square the elders tell me they see politicians during election time. >> translator: there are no jobs here. there's 250-350 kilometers away. mumbai is further. it's too far for children to go looking for work. >> translator: the politician lie to us all the time. in ten years no one has built a hospital. >> people here have been left out of india's progress.

they're hungry for change. this is the one time they can push for it. >> reporter: now one of the front runners in these elections is the lierd of the main opposition party, modi. he's a hard line leader outspoken on a number of had you ises especially foreign policy. he talks about how india should take a tougher line when negotiating with its neighbor. one of the places watching this closely is pakistani side from where my colleague reports. >> reporter: it's a region that lives with a legacy of trauma from the devastating earthquake in 2005 a that killed thousands of people. but the capital is back in business. life has returned to narrow alley ways of the main market. for shopkeeper, the possibility

of being able to trade more is important. >> translator: if there is peace and more trade back and forth, goods will be cheaper, and we'll be able to develop. but nowhere more than here are they asking whether the bjp victory in india, the government led by modi could reduce the chances of peace. >> i am not satisfied. >> reporter: canvassing views at the campus of the university, it seems to be less about mr. modi, more about people wanting their voices heard in determining their future. and about the credibility of the indian poll. >> translator: these are state kind of elections against the

wishes. they're not going to have effects on us. situations remain the same. >> is anyone optimistic? >> issue will be solved. >> with such a proposition, the dispute remains deadlock ed trucks that head to india are part of the confidence -- confidence building that has taken place. >> a cease fire line is beyond the hill. if modi becomes the next prime minister, will it make it worst for people here? will he help their fears? many worry that it will be the latter. bbc news. >> just look ago cross the vast

country, we're not half way through elections are we? what sort of disruption if any has there been from the groups who traditionally tried to disrupt things? >> reporter: well tim, it's been a surprisingly peaceful election so far. there have been a couple of incident, bomb explosions. last weekend there was an attack on poll officials in a region dominated by insurgents. by in large, what has surprised many people is the incredible turnout in the several phases we've seen up until this point. it's been well over 60% in many parts of the country. some going up to 70. in a couple of instances 80%. the other thing of course which everyone is talking about is how smooth it's all been. it's quite an incredible effort to try to make sure more than 800 million are able to cast

ballots in the constituencies cast high in the jungle or deep south along the coast. so far it's gone really well. we're just over the half way mark. we have a few days left before we find out how elections are concluding. and of course who's winning then. >> so much is said about modi. when you look at gandhi, the dynasty that's led so many decades, is he getting through with younger generations that? that's why he was chosen. >> reporter: it's interesting tim if you look at it. on the one hand of course when you talk indian politics you always focus on gandhi's, they've been part of the party. they're having a difficult time when it comes to defending their

turf. all of them spread out over the last several days for the challenge. one thing we did see, if it's fading in these polls, in the rest of india, across all party, a number of other political issues. wives, daughters of politicians are take part in these elections. it's astounding. in the last parliament, a third of all seats went to members of some kind of political body. some think this time it would be greater than that. >> thank you. you can go to the website for much more coverage on the elections half way point including a quiz on whether you could get elected in india. it includes facts about the world 's largest election and how likely your chances would be

if you entered that race. bbc.com/india. aaron is catching the first flight out there aren't you? >> you wish. weibo. do you know what that means in chinese? micro blogging. i'm disappointed in your mandarin. let me explain. good to see you. hello there. china's most popular micro blogging weibo with a disappointing start. it starts trading to the public later today on nasdaq in new york. weibo raised $286 million so far. well below $340 million it had been aiming for. weibo launched 2009. the company says it has 129 million monthly active users at the end of 2013.

here's one of the problem at moment. investors are more wearily of high price tech stocks. many big household names lifted on nasdaq, let's be frank, taken an absolute beating as of late. let's go to rory. great to see you as always. let's start with that as you very well know, the reason we've seen selloffs of household names in the tech world is because investors are worried they're overvalued. i can imagine investors may be cautious with weibo do you think? >> yes. the background is the biggest boom bubble in tech stocks in the recent months. that came to a halt weeks back. they've given up gains on nasdaq this year. with people looking at twitter, facebook and new ipo's we've had the last couple of months and

saying extraordinary evaluations. those stocks are still up relative to earnings. that's more cautious climate for companies like weibo. there's particulars about a chinese company in a competitive chinese social media scene and one that changes almost week to week. weibo has been growing fast. only born in 2009. got well over 100 million users. it has a strong rival, media platform now. there are also questions about political control. >> yes. rory, i'm going to stop you. i'm hoping we've got images that came out of china. a blogger is sentenced in court to three years because he posted comments on weibo that didn't

please beijing. bam, he's in jail. when they say weibo is china's twitter, let's be frank, it's not really like twitter. it has them looking over your shoulder. >> that's correct. i heard something interesting. there's an enormous amount of freedom to say what you like. what prominent micro blogger said there's a red line. i can go up to it but not step over it. l looming in the background, i suppose western investors say a, tech stops are savvy but b, are these the place to invest? it's going to move outside china and have the ora around it or who's looking at what i'm writing here and how secure is it? a few doubts raised there.

although investors are keen to looking at the platform. weibo did things twitter took for granted. much better at engrated video and images. >> people tell me there's a red line. i don't know where it is. i'm on the other side all the time. great stuff. talk to you soon. rory jones there from the newsroom. look at this island. when is an island a good investment? this small island in the venice lagoon is up for sale. apparently 160,000 plagued victims are buried on the island. it's just minutes from square.

take your pick. the italian government is hoping a buyer may want to transform the island into a luxury hotel, proceeds going to cut the country's debt. around the world, how popular are islanders were buyers. we are told now how the market is fairing and who's buying? >> it's improving the market. in the laster three years, we've had double the number of people inquiring about islands. prices peaked in 2003 but have come down now. we're seeing people come back into it. it's individuals looking for a luxury prime asset. wealthy individuals of course. also within governments looking at taking on islands from an environmental issue, normally teaming up with environmental agencies if there are species or

minerals there. that's another investment group. it follows the same principals as any prime property market. is it in a good location? infrastructure there? it's all those factors. is it near the mainland? fly to it easily? get power to it? otherwise it's an expensive way of owning. >> expensive indeed. follow me on twitter. i'll tweet you right back. find me at bbc aaron. that's it. apparently the island is haunted. ghosts roam -- >> i imagine you living on an island by yourself. impossible. >> i could entertain myself. i'd be fine. >> is that the only person you entertain? >> i'm going to go. bye. >> aaron, thank you very much indeed. stay with us here on bbc world news. still to come. it was the film festival that
