A fresh era in Indian politics. A new, controversial Prime Minister is | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
overwhelmingly elected. Narendra Modi leads the BJP to the most | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
resounding victory by any party in India for 30 years. Rahul Gandhi | :00:14. | :00:19. | |
accepts the Congress Party's defeat, ending his family's decades-long | :00:20. | :00:25. | |
dominance of politics. We'll be asking what Narendra Modi's | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
ambitions are for his country. Also tonight: Bomb blasts in Nairobi | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
kill ten people, as fears of terrorism prompt the Foreign Office | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
to tell Britons to leave Mombasa. Stuart Hall is found not guilty of | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
raping two girls, though he's convicted on one count of indecent | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
assault. The biggest fine yet for an energy | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
company E.On must pay out ?12 million for mis-selling. | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
There's pressure on the chief executive of the Premier League to | :00:54. | :00:54. | |
resign, after sexist comments. In Sportsday, Manchester City reach | :00:55. | :01:03. | |
a compromise with UEFA for breaching financial fair play rules - they're | :01:04. | :01:04. | |
fined nearly ?50 million. Good evening. | :01:05. | :01:34. | |
A new era is beginning in India, the world's largest democracy, where the | :01:35. | :01:36. | |
Hindu nationalist BJP has won an outright majority in the general | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
election, the most decisive political victory there for 30 | :01:40. | :01:48. | |
years. The man who'll be Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, thanked | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
voters, saying they'd written a new chapter in the country's history. He | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
campaigned on promises to revive India's flagging economy. But he's | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
also a controversial figure, a Hindu nationalist who was chief minister | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
of Gujarat state when hundreds of Muslims died there in rioting in | :02:02. | :02:08. | |
2002. Several world leaders have congratulated Mr Modi on his | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
victory, including David Cameron and President Obama. Andrew North | :02:12. | :02:18. | |
reports from Gujarat And there's much more on the Indian elections on | :02:19. | :02:19. | |
the BBC website, including the the new face of India, with an | :02:20. | :02:33. | |
inspirational story. Narendra Modi was once a railway station tea boy. | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
Now he will be the leader of the world 's largest democracy, and | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
after his stunning victory, he says he is going to transform the | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
country. TRANSLATION: This election has laid | :02:47. | :02:55. | |
the foundations of modern India. Brothers and sisters, your hopes and | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
dreams will come true. You will be able to look into the face of the | :03:00. | :03:06. | |
world with pride. A decade ago, India thought was on track to catch | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
up with China. Instead, it has fallen badly behind, and Narendra | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
Modi won because he promised to get the economy on. There is an | :03:16. | :03:27. | |
incredible atmosphere here as Narendra Modi speaks. This is a | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
historic victory. A man from the humblest origins is about to become | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
Indian prime minister, with a commanding majority. Many Indians | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
say this is the beginning of a whole new era for the country. Big | :03:40. | :03:46. | |
business helped to fund his modern presidential style campaign, but it | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
attracted support from hundreds of millions of voters from | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
attracted support from hundreds of life. But many Indians also oppose | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
Narendra Modi because of religious riots in his home state of Gujarat | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
when he was in charge. Although he was cleared of wrongdoing, he was | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
tainted by the bloodshed. Indian liberals are frightened of Mr | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
Modi's history of riots in good giraffe. They are frightened of | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
anybody on the right anyway, and he is much more unabashedly on the | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
right of society and the economy than any leader ever in the BJP. | :04:21. | :04:27. | |
right of society and the economy voters made clear they had had | :04:28. | :04:28. | |
enough of the left-leaning Congress voters made clear they had had | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
which has ruled India for the last decade, and most of its history | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
since independence. For the Gandhi dynasty which has aways lead the | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
party, it is a human hating defeat. Congress Party has done pretty | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
badly. There is a lot for us to think about, and as vice president | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
of the party I hold myself responsible for what has happened. | :04:51. | :04:58. | |
Thank you. There are huge expectations riding on Narendra Modi | :04:59. | :05:00. | |
now, but the celebrations are in full swing. As one long-time | :05:01. | :05:12. | |
supporter said, India is back on the map again. | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
Lets talk to Andrew in Gujarat. It is an extraordinary moment. What do | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
you think we can expect from Narendra Modi in the months to come? | :05:22. | :05:28. | |
It certainly is. As you heard, there are fears that he will be divisive | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
and that he will do the bidding of his many Hindu nationalist | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
supporters, and turn India into a less secular country. But one of his | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
advisers told me such fears are misplaced because if he goes down | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
that road it would undermine his bigger agenda of making India into | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
an economic powerhouse. Narendra Modi is promising bullet trains, and | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
to turn India into a manufacturing economy like China. And the adviser | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
said to me, this marks the end of what he called the Gandhi era of | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
soft socialism and state control. But with his past record, there will | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
be many who will be watching Mr Modi very closely. | :06:09. | :06:16. | |
You can find out much more about the Indian elections on the BBC website, | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
including more background about the many challenges ahead for Narendra | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
Modi. Two bombs have exploded in the | :06:28. | :06:29. | |
Kenyan capital, Nairobi, killing at least ten people and wounding about | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
70 more. The blasts happened as two British tour operators suspended all | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
trips to the coastal city of Mombasa, and started flying hundreds | :06:38. | :06:39. | |
of tourists back home early, after the Foreign Office extended the list | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
of areas it says are at high risk of terrorism, with the main threat | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
coming from the militant group Al-Shabab. Frank Gardner reports. | :06:47. | :07:00. | |
Rescued from the rubble, survivors from the latest bombings to hit the | :07:01. | :07:07. | |
Kenyan capital, Nairobi. The devices exploded this afternoon in a crowded | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
second-hand clothes market, killing at least ten people, injuring scores | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
more. It is a terrible blow for Kenya. I urge all Kenyans to be | :07:17. | :07:25. | |
vigilant and report any suspicious movement that they may detect. This | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
is our battle together and we must work together to win it. Top of the | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
list of suspects is Al-Shabab, the militant Somali group linked to | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
Al-Qaeda that has vowed to keep attacking Kenya until it withdraws | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
troops from Somalia. All this comes amid fresh Foreign Office advice on | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
the situation in Kenya. Parts of the capital, Nairobi, where today's | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
explosions occurred, were already considered off-limits. But it has | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
added Mombasa, from where hundreds of British holiday-makers have been | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
brought home. And it has warned against the dangerous border area | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
with Somalia. The warning has meant over 500 British tourists have had | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
their dream holidays cut short, as the tour companies rush them out of | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
the camp -- country. Among them, honeymoon is Nikki and rave from | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
Nuneaton. They said the warnings, which came before today, left local | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
reps baffled. They could not understand why we were going but | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
Thomson had said, you are going, so we got a letter that basically said, | :08:30. | :08:30. | |
there will be a bus here tomorrow, we got a letter that basically said, | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
be on it. If you are not on it, there is no other plane. Kenya has | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
only just recovered from the horror of last September's Westgate siege, | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
when Al-Shabab gunmen walked calmly through the shopping mall shooting | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
dozens in their path. This will be tough for Kenya's tourist industry. | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
Two tour operators already cancelled flights to Mombasa until October, a | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
needless precaution, said Kenya this morning. Now, it does not look so | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
foolish at all. The broadcaster Stuart Hall has been | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
cleared of raping two young girls, more than 30 years ago. But a jury | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
at Preston Crown Court convicted him on one charge of indecent assault. | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
He'd earlier pleaded guilty to a second assault. Hall, 84, is | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
currently serving a 30-month prison sentence for other sexual offences. | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
From the court, Judith Moritz reports. | :09:24. | :09:32. | |
This is the last time Stuart Hall was seen publicly, arriving in | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
handcuffs for a previous court hearing. Although today he was | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
cleared of rape, he is not a free man either. In the dock, he sat | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
listening through a hearing loop as the jury declared that he was not | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
guilty of multiple counts of child rape. But he was convicted of one | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
offence of indecent assault against a girl under 16. Afterwards, the | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
police said, Lancashire Constabulary remains committed to investigating | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
allegations of this nature, no matter how historic and no matter | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
who the alleged offender. At one time, if you turn on your | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
television, the chances were that you would find Stuart Hall grinning | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
out at you. From its a knockout to the regional news, it seemed he was | :10:17. | :10:23. | |
always on hair. His persona was playful, his humour was of the | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
postcard variety. We should rename this it's a knockout. Two luscious | :10:29. | :10:35. | |
girls go down with the Lord Mayor. At the BBC studios, he was known to | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
spend a lot of time with women, but the prosecution claimed that was not | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
the worst of it. This is a modern BBC dressing room. In the 1970s and | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
1980s, Stuart Hall would have had a similar room, supposedly somewhere | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
for him to get ready and relax off-screen. But the prosecution said | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
that instead he had taken advantage of its privacy and used it as a | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
place to commit rape. The jury did not believe that Stuart Hall raped | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
two girls, claims which were made in the wake of his convictions last | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
year for indecent assault. He said the teenagers had consented to | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
having sex with him and now wanted compensation. Stuart Hall's former | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
colleagues remember him in different ways. I thought he was a sex pest | :11:20. | :11:26. | |
and a nuisance, and that he had lots of strange relationships with adult | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
women. I found him extremely charming and I got on very well with | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
him. He was funny. He was very professional, actually. Stuart Hall | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
is already in jail for his previous convictions. He will be | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
for these offences next week. The energy supplier | :11:47. | :11:48. | |
for these offences next week. fined a record ?12 million for | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
for these offences next week. the doorstep. It'll also have to | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
compensate up to half a million customers for what the | :11:56. | :11:57. | |
regulator Ofgem called its "extensive poor sales practices". | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
All five of the big energy "extensive poor sales practices". | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
investigated by Ofgem have now been fined for mis-selling. John Moylan | :12:06. | :12:20. | |
reports. A fair price for energy would be a good start, but according | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
to the industry regulator, it is likely that hundreds of thousands of | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
E.ON customers were victims of misselling. Today, as the company | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
accepted a record penalty, the boss of the company admitted things had | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
gone badly wrong. We hold our hand up, we are devastated, we are | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
absolutely sorry, we will make it right. Across the rest of the | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
business, we will continue to improve our customer service, we | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
will continue to improve the way we handle things, and we will continue | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
to help customers every single day. Chris Brown from Portsmouth switched | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
to E.ON after he was a recipient of cold calling. He claims he was put | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
on a more expensive terrorists. They charged me double what they said | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
they were going to charge me. -- tariff. They then put a bed flag | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
against my name, and they were then refusing to cooperate with any | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
communication win the ombudsman in order to get it rectified. In fact, | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
Ofgem found that on the doorstep or over the phone, customers were | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
misled. There was inadequate training of sales staff as well as | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
management failures. To address those failings, some 330,000 of | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
E.ON's most vulnerable customers will now receive ?35 off their | :13:39. | :13:47. | |
bills. The company is writing to a further 406 to 5000 households about | :13:48. | :13:50. | |
compensation, which could end up costing the firm another ?8 million. | :13:51. | :13:58. | |
-- 406 to 5000. E.ON was the last of the big suppliers to end doorstep | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
selling. Should Ofgem have clumped down on this sooner? It is | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
astonishing that it has taken this long for the regulator to do | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
something. We first reported potential problems with misselling | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
in October 2011. We need to see the watchdog in the future sorting out | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
these problems much more quickly. E.ON is the last of five big | :14:20. | :14:21. | |
suppliers to face penalties for misselling. It is a problem which | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
has cost consumers and tarnished the reputation of the energy industry. | :14:27. | :14:32. | |
The organisation of the Police Federation - which represents | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
officers in England and Wales - has been severely criticised by a | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
committee of MPs, in advance of the Federation's annual conference next | :14:40. | :14:41. | |
week. MPs found a culture of bullying among senior officials and | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
financial mismanagement. The Federation spent ?26 million on a | :14:46. | :14:48. | |
new headquarters, and has ?70 million in the bank. MPs suggested | :14:49. | :14:51. | |
officers should receive a rebate on their subscriptions. | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
The operator of the Turkish mine that collapsed, killing at least 284 | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
people, has denied any negligence, insisting its priority had been to | :15:01. | :15:06. | |
save lives. 18 miners are still missing. Police today fired tear gas | :15:07. | :15:09. | |
and water cannon at demonstrators who were shouting anti-government | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
slogans. Our correspondent Orla Guerin sent this report from Soma, | :15:16. | :15:17. | |
which contains flashing images. A mother be read twice over. She was | :15:18. | :15:36. | |
robbed of her twin sons. The loss is unbearable. Relatives try to comfort | :15:37. | :15:47. | |
her, but her only children are gone. She told me they were never apart. | :15:48. | :15:54. | |
They were married together, and took their last breath together. They | :15:55. | :16:05. | |
died hugging each other. My beloved ones shall not be forgotten, she | :16:06. | :16:12. | |
cries. May God punish those who did these things. The mine operators | :16:13. | :16:24. | |
denied negligence today, claiming their operation was regarded as the | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
safest in the country. But they admitted there was no functioning | :16:29. | :16:30. | |
rescue chamber when the disaster happened. The tough questions kept | :16:31. | :16:39. | |
coming. The owner of the mine was showing the strain. Do you accept | :16:40. | :16:45. | |
that your safety standards must have been inadequate, or this could not | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
have happened? TRANSLATION: We still do not know why the accident | :16:51. | :16:53. | |
happened, that is the problem. We were not able to reach the area. | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
After we do, we will consider that. The mining company is giving its | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
account. We have heard a lot of technical detail and expressions of | :17:04. | :17:06. | |
regret about the loss of life, but the key questions have gone | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
unanswered. There has been no real response on the two critical issues | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
- why did it happen and could it have been prevented? Hours later, | :17:16. | :17:23. | |
downtown, anger on the streets. The police moved in with force against a | :17:24. | :17:29. | |
peaceful protest. First came the water cannon. Then, the rubber | :17:30. | :17:37. | |
bullets. Soon, the wounded were being carried away. A community in | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
morning, now blocked from voicing its pain. | :17:43. | :17:45. | |
UKIP leader Nigel Farage has defended his recent comments about | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
feeling "uncomfortable" when he was on a train surrounded by people | :17:50. | :17:51. | |
speaking foreign languages, even though his wife is German. He had | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
also said people should worry if a Romanian family moved in next-door | :17:56. | :18:00. | |
to them. He defended those statements today on LBC radio. | :18:01. | :18:09. | |
I made a comment which was not intended to say any more than I felt | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
uncomfortable about the rate and pace of change... No, you felt | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
uncomfortable about people speaking foreign languages, except presumably | :18:20. | :18:29. | |
your own wife does. Not on a train. Why not? And what about the comments | :18:30. | :18:34. | |
about Romanians? I was asked if a group of Romanians moved in next | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
door to you... What about if a group of Germans did was Jim Mark what is | :18:39. | :18:44. | |
the difference? You know what the differences. No, I don't. | :18:45. | :18:55. | |
Football, and Manchester City has accepted a ?50 million fine for | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
breaking financial rules imposed by Europe's governing body, UEFA. Less | :19:00. | :19:02. | |
than a week after winning the English Premier League title, the | :19:03. | :19:05. | |
club says it has reluctantly agreed to pay the fine, and reduce its | :19:06. | :19:08. | |
squad for next season's Champions League, from 25 to 21 players. | :19:09. | :19:21. | |
Richard Scudamore is coming under increasing pressure to resign, | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
following comments he made in leaked e-mails. Tonight, a group | :19:26. | :19:31. | |
representing women in for all said his apology for those e-mails does | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
not go far enough. Our chief correspondent Dan Roan, reports. | :19:36. | :19:41. | |
Last Sunday, Richard Scudamore was handing out the top honours to the | :19:42. | :19:44. | |
winners of the league he helped make the richest in the world. Earlier | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
that morning, the most powerful man in the English game had become | :19:49. | :19:51. | |
embroiled in a sexism scandal after e-mails exchanged with a friend had | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
been revealed in the Sunday Mirror. Many of the comments in the e-mails | :19:57. | :20:01. | |
are inappropriate to detail. In one he talks women are described in | :20:02. | :20:08. | |
derogatory language. A former girlfriend is described as a | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
double-decker bus. It has been revealed that prior to the | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
publication of the story, Scudamore wrote to chiefs of the organisation | :20:17. | :20:22. | |
for advice. Until yesterday, I thought he might be able to ride | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
it, but now, especially given the revelation about his e-mail to the | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
Chairman, I think his position is untenable. In a statement, Mr | :20:31. | :20:32. | |
Scudamore said... England women's goalkeeper told me | :20:33. | :20:51. | |
today that the controversy has implications which go well beyond | :20:52. | :20:57. | |
the game. It is not just about women in sport or in football, it was an | :20:58. | :21:00. | |
insult to all women, those jokes that were made. However jokey he was | :21:01. | :21:06. | |
trying to be with that, it is totally not acceptable in this day | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
and age. That is a view which is shared by many here at the | :21:11. | :21:13. | |
grassroots, where women's and girls' for oil is increasingly | :21:14. | :21:19. | |
popular. It is not just among the women who play football that | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
pressure is growing. The sports minister, the FA and Premier League | :21:24. | :21:26. | |
sponsors Barclays have all expressed disappointment. Tonight, the BBC | :21:27. | :21:32. | |
learned that industry group Women In Football have written to all Premier | :21:33. | :21:36. | |
League share people saying that an apology is not enough, and calling | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
for an independent inquiry. The FA have said it is a private matter, | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
but on Monday, a Premier League committee will decide if he should | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
face disciplinary action, over a scandal which has raised serious | :21:49. | :21:51. | |
questions about the sport's commitment to equality. | :21:52. | :21:54. | |
Last night on the Ten O'clock News, we reported how the battle against | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
Mexico's powerful and feared drugs cartels has often seemed hopeless. | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
But in the western state of Michoac?n, a popular uprising led by | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
heavily armed self defence groups has chased out one of the main | :22:06. | :22:08. | |
cartels.It's now feared the militias themselves are being infiltrated and | :22:09. | :22:17. | |
controlled by the drug lords. Our correspondent Paul Wood - and | :22:18. | :22:19. | |
cameraman Fred Scott - have sent this exclusive report from | :22:20. | :22:20. | |
Michoacan. Cartel country, the government is | :22:21. | :22:34. | |
seldom seen here. This is Michoacan's remote discard. The | :22:35. | :22:42. | |
soldiers have come to burn a marijuana crop. This was high-grade | :22:43. | :22:44. | |
weed for the American market. Some army officers are hoping the US will | :22:45. | :22:51. | |
legalise marijuana. That would take billions of dollars from the | :22:52. | :22:56. | |
cartels. Others say marijuana is dangerous, it should be rooted out. | :22:57. | :23:04. | |
Mexico's drugs debate mirrors that in Britain. The Mexican army has | :23:05. | :23:11. | |
been burning marijuana for 30 years, and they will be doing the same | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
thing here again next year. Drugs will be produced in Latin American | :23:17. | :23:19. | |
countries as long as they are consumed in Europe and the US. If | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
there is a war against rugs in Mexico, it is a war without end. We | :23:24. | :23:33. | |
go to see the marijuana farmers. They are at the bottom of the drugs | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
pyramid. The traffickers get rich, not them. The women begged the | :23:39. | :23:46. | |
soldiers not to destroy their crop. "We grow it, it's our job. They burn | :23:47. | :23:49. | |
it - it's their job," she says, resigned. "It doesn't matter. This | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
year, no cartel men came to buy. That's never happened before." | :23:55. | :24:04. | |
They are gone because of Michoacan's self-defence groups. | :24:05. | :24:12. | |
This appeal uprising achieved in a year what the state failed to do in | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
decades. It chased out a cartel called The Knights Templars. They | :24:17. | :24:20. | |
terrorised the area, kidnapping and killing. Jesus Cortez is a wealthy | :24:21. | :24:28. | |
avocado farmer. A neighbour's 15-year-old daughter was abducted. | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
She was raped and murdered when her parents could not pay. His youngest | :24:33. | :24:40. | |
son was taken. They saved him. But Jesus wanted to fight back. I was | :24:41. | :24:46. | |
terrified, he says. I knew that if others did not join me, the | :24:47. | :24:49. | |
traffickers would kill my entire family. That everyone answered | :24:50. | :24:52. | |
traffickers would kill my entire call. We have all been hurt by these | :24:53. | :25:00. | |
people. The traffickers once ran the nearby town, Apatzingan. This is the | :25:01. | :25:06. | |
traditional silent Easter Parade. Father Salvador Gonzalez was brave | :25:07. | :25:10. | |
enough to denounce them. Now, he says the cartels are infiltrating | :25:11. | :25:17. | |
the self-defence groups. "The narco traffickers always adapt," he says. | :25:18. | :25:20. | |
"They are appropriating the self-defence groups. We free | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
ourselves from one mafia - another takes its place." | :25:25. | :25:32. | |
A Fiesta in one of the villages where the cartel called The Knights | :25:33. | :25:46. | |
Templars remains popular. The cartel spent a lot of money here, | :25:47. | :25:49. | |
recruiting young men. Legalise marijuana - there would still be | :25:50. | :25:53. | |
heroin, cocaine, crystal meth. Arrest one leader - whoever is left | :25:54. | :26:00. | |
runs the show. For the cartels are bloodied from time to time, but they | :26:01. | :26:07. | |
keep coming back. Paul Wood, BBC News, Michoacan. | :26:08. | :26:11. | |
That's all from us - don't forget there's a first look at the | :26:12. | :26:16. | |
newspapers over on the BBC News Channel. Now on BBC One, it's time | :26:17. | :26:19. | |
for the news where you are. Good night. | :26:20. | :26:23. |
