Russia tells the UN Security Council its troops were invited into Crimea by the ousted Ukrainian leader, Viktor Yanukovych. Andrew Hosken reports from Kharkiv, close to Ukraine's eastern border with Russia. And as President Obama says Moscow is "on the wrong side of history", we hear a German and a Russian view.

The murder trial of Oscar Pistorius opens in South Africa. Analysis of the Kunming massacre in China. Mountaineer Alan Hinkes speaks to us about new regulations on rubbish on Everest. And French plans for the underground burial of nuclear waste.
