Live in Washington in a moment, President Obama is going to speak

:00:08.:00:15.

The point is, isolators cannot hide and next message to them is simple,

:00:16.:00:24.

you are next. Also: Angela Merkel says Germany has

:00:25.:00:26.

been doing the right thing by letting in thousands

:00:27.:00:29.

of migrants and refugees, I'll play you some

:00:30.:00:31.

of that statement. An Australian court has banned some

:00:32.:00:37.

types of Nurofen because they claim to be different but in fact

:00:38.:00:40.

are the same. The new Stars wars film premieres

:00:41.:00:42.

later. It's certain to make lots of money -

:00:43.:00:47.

we'll look at how all the different Plus we have a strange story from a

:00:48.:01:11.

French school who claimed there was an Islamic stabbing, that turned out

:01:12.:01:14.

to be nothing of the sort. Here is some of what President Obama

:01:15.:01:37.

said earlier. As I said before, Isil is dug in, including in urban areas

:01:38.:01:43.

and the high behind civilians, using defenceless men, women and children

:01:44.:01:49.

as human seals -- Shields. We need to be smart, targeting them

:01:50.:01:53.

surgically with precision. At the same time our partners on the ground

:01:54.:01:57.

are rooting them out time by time, locked padlock. That is what this

:01:58.:02:03.

campaign is doing. We are hitting them harder than ever. Coalition

:02:04.:02:08.

aircraft, firefighters, bombers and drums have been increasing the rate

:02:09.:02:14.

of air strikes. Last month in November we dropped more bombs on

:02:15.:02:19.

Isil targets since this campaign started. We are taking out Isil

:02:20.:02:22.

leaders, by one. Back in 2008, Barack Obama

:02:23.:02:29.

defeated John McCain in the run to the right -- the White House. John

:02:30.:02:41.

McCain says that his strategy has failed. Did you hear anything new

:02:42.:02:57.

today? More firepower, special operations, that is only stepped it

:02:58.:03:02.

up. He did not have anything new to add to that list today. The message

:03:03.:03:06.

from the White House is that we are doing better than you think. The

:03:07.:03:13.

fight against IIS is having an impact, they are losing ground, we

:03:14.:03:19.

are making progress, we are bombing their bomb-making factories and we

:03:20.:03:23.

are getting their top guys. I had a similar thing senior state

:03:24.:03:27.

department official over the weekend that this is our concerted effort by

:03:28.:03:32.

the White House address to the American public, you might not think

:03:33.:03:36.

we are making progress, the new sounds bad, but on the ground we are

:03:37.:03:41.

having success. Looking at social media, there is an ABC News

:03:42.:03:45.

executive saying it is OK to talk about Iraq and Syria, but Islamic

:03:46.:03:49.

State has also struck in Tunisia, Egypt, France and maybe even in

:03:50.:03:56.

California. Yes, that's the Department official did say to me

:03:57.:04:01.

the trouble that they are seeing, but there are most worried about, is

:04:02.:04:05.

as they kept them in a rack and Syria, where they say they are

:04:06.:04:09.

managing to shut that border with Turkey, making it harder for them to

:04:10.:04:13.

go in and out of Syria, what they are most worried about is they are

:04:14.:04:16.

seeing an influx of Islamic radicals into Libya. They are putting

:04:17.:04:23.

pressure on them and Syria and Iraq, they are moving over to Libya. And

:04:24.:04:28.

the political dynamics in Washington, presumably there is a

:04:29.:04:32.

point of which are president ceases to be as relevant as the two

:04:33.:04:35.

contenders trying to take over from him. Yes, to some extent. Barack

:04:36.:04:45.

Obama came into office absolutely determined to end the waters of

:04:46.:04:51.

America in the Middle East. The last thing he wants to do is commit more

:04:52.:04:55.

ground troops on a big scale before he leaves office. You can control

:04:56.:05:00.

that. The message from the White House is we are having success is

:05:01.:05:04.

that we are not proposing big numbers of American forces in

:05:05.:05:12.

another war in the Middle East. If you are watching outside of the UK

:05:13.:05:16.

you will see her at the top of the hour on BBC world News. Let's turn

:05:17.:05:25.

to an otherworldly cutter -- and other world leader.

:05:26.:05:29.

Angela Merkel been talking at her party's annual conference -

:05:30.:05:31.

a number of important lines - she says Germnay has helped averted

:05:32.:05:34.

a humanitarian disaster by taking in so many refugees.

:05:35.:05:46.

TRANSLATION: we will noticeably reduced the number of refugees

:05:47.:05:51.

because it is in the interest of everyone. It is in Germany's

:05:52.:05:56.

interest to help us deal with the accommodation of refugees and their

:05:57.:06:00.

integration into society and the labour market. It is in your's

:06:01.:06:04.

interest because of our relationship with Europe and a role in the world

:06:05.:06:09.

and, dear friends, it is in the interests of the refugees themselves

:06:10.:06:11.

because nobody, no matter why they make the journey, thoughtlessly

:06:12.:06:13.

leaves his home. More than than 750,000 migrants

:06:14.:06:24.

and refugees have entered But last month Macedonia and Serbia

:06:25.:06:33.

introduced tougher border controls - only Syrians,

:06:34.:06:44.

Iraqis and Afghans were That meant thousands

:06:45.:06:46.

were getting stuck in Greece. Well, the EU is trying

:06:47.:06:59.

to help ease that pressure. Now the European Union has agreed

:07:00.:07:02.

to spend 80 million euros subsidising accommodation

:07:03.:07:04.

for migrants in Greece. From Athens - Nick Thorpe

:07:05.:07:15.

sent this report. Athens is becoming a dumping ground

:07:16.:07:24.

for the migrants that the European Union does not want. Several strife

:07:25.:07:30.

-- several thousand stranded here, with many more arriving every day.

:07:31.:07:35.

Some are even thinking of giving up and going home. They have got stuck.

:07:36.:07:43.

They don't have any way to go. They know that their time is up. This

:07:44.:07:48.

stadium is a temporary, uncomfortable shelter for many. They

:07:49.:07:52.

have been forced back to happen is by the partial closure of Greece's

:07:53.:07:58.

Northern border with Macedonia. The authorities have been overwhelmed.

:07:59.:08:02.

There are tensions between different nationalities and the migrants have

:08:03.:08:05.

to leave by Wednesday to make way for the next sports event. Victoria

:08:06.:08:15.

Square in Athens is another place where migrants gathered to seek

:08:16.:08:21.

solutions. Some arrange for money to be sent here by relatives, to buy

:08:22.:08:26.

fake documents or pay smugglers. Others will try once again to go

:08:27.:08:31.

north. The people who have just boarded this bus are on their way to

:08:32.:08:38.

the Greek -Macedonian border. That is a reflection of this difficult

:08:39.:08:43.

situation here in Greece. Many people are trapped in this country,

:08:44.:08:47.

some are being allowed on to this bus and there is no information

:08:48.:08:51.

about what the next they will bring. Buses arrive to bring people back to

:08:52.:08:55.

the stadium for the night. Where is this bus going? They told us they

:08:56.:09:02.

are taking us to camp. It is a safe camp.

:09:03.:09:13.

Chris Chester handled this crisis by letting the migrants leave, but now

:09:14.:09:26.

they have to find shelter for them. Tim Peake is going to fly to the

:09:27.:09:30.

International Space Station. Allard Ghosh is there.

:09:31.:09:35.

If he is nervous, he did not show it.

:09:36.:09:41.

As he gave his last press conference on planet Earth along

:09:42.:09:44.

What is the thing you're most looking forward to personally once

:09:45.:09:50.

It really has to be the view of planet Earth and as much

:09:51.:09:55.

as I have spoken to flown astronauts and as much advice as they have

:09:56.:09:59.

given me, I do not think anything can truly prepare you for that

:10:00.:10:02.

moment that will occur in the Soyuz spacecraft once we get

:10:03.:10:04.

injected into orbit and I will be able to look out out of the right

:10:05.:10:08.

window and see that wonderful view of planet Earth.

:10:09.:10:15.

This is what he will see as he approaches

:10:16.:10:17.

He will be in orbit 250 miles above Earth

:10:18.:10:24.

Tim was selected for Europe's astronaut corps six years ago.

:10:25.:10:35.

Since then, his training has involved surviving in a cave

:10:36.:10:38.

He's got what it takes, according to an astronaut

:10:39.:10:49.

He is of course a good pilot as well so he has got good

:10:50.:10:59.

The launch will be from the cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.

:11:00.:11:09.

It is where the human exploration of space began.

:11:10.:11:13.

More than 50 years ago, Yuri Gagarin, the first man to go

:11:14.:11:17.

Soon, Tim Peake will follow in his footsteps on his

:11:18.:11:23.

Yuri Gagarin's flight marked the beginning

:11:24.:11:28.

With a wave goodbye, Tim Peake sets off on his

:11:29.:11:37.

There will be extensive coverage of that launch on BBC. Let me show you

:11:38.:12:01.

these amazing pic jurors. This is a unique view of the lunar eclipse.

:12:02.:12:06.

The satellite's camera is normally trained on the sunlit face of the

:12:07.:12:10.

earth tracking things like clouds and dust storms. On the 27th of

:12:11.:12:15.

September it was in the right position to see them and go behind

:12:16.:12:26.

the earth and into shadow. In a few minutes we will turn to what Egypt

:12:27.:12:30.

has been saying about the Russian passenger plane became done in the

:12:31.:12:34.

Sinai Desert. Russia says terrorism brought down, as do the West, but

:12:35.:12:39.

Egypt says there is no evidence of that being the case.

:12:40.:12:50.

The radio presenter Neil Fox has been cleared of a string of sex

:12:51.:12:56.

offences against women and girls. People dying as the verdicts were

:12:57.:12:59.

read out in court. Afterward he said the last year had been long, hard

:13:00.:13:03.

and stressful that he was pleased to have been vindicated. This guide

:13:04.:13:06.

contains flash photography. Following my arrest over 14 months

:13:07.:13:11.

ago, I have strenuously denied all the allegations and today

:13:12.:13:13.

I have been vindicated. It has been a long, hard

:13:14.:13:16.

and stressful 14 months and a lot has been said and written about me

:13:17.:13:19.

in that time and over the next few days, weeks and months

:13:20.:13:22.

that will need to be This case has exposed again about

:13:23.:13:39.

how high-profile cases like this are investigated by the police under

:13:40.:13:43.

CBS, but this is not the time or place to address these matters. --

:13:44.:13:58.

and the CPS. Our lead story is that Washington President Obama has said

:13:59.:14:01.

that American forces are hitting the Islamic State with harder than ever,

:14:02.:14:05.

but he has admitted that the battle against IIS is difficult and the

:14:06.:14:13.

progress needs to be faster. More than 40 people are known to

:14:14.:14:19.

have died as a police bus fell off a bridge in Argentina. They were

:14:20.:14:25.

mainly border police. Ecuador and Sweden have signed an

:14:26.:14:28.

agreement allowing Julian has launched to be questioned by the

:14:29.:14:32.

Swedish authorities at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London. He has

:14:33.:14:38.

been there for three years trying to avoid deportation to Sweden on

:14:39.:14:44.

charges of sexual assault. This is a video from the BBC News app. It is a

:14:45.:14:52.

way of using radio waves to increase the speed of wi-fi, particularly in

:14:53.:14:57.

busy locations. To go to the BBC News app for a more detailed

:14:58.:15:03.

explanation. Egypt is saying that there is no evidence that terrorism

:15:04.:15:08.

brought down the Russian passenger planes in sober. That is not how

:15:09.:15:12.

Russia says it ordered the West sees it. Here is a report on the

:15:13.:15:20.

different perspectives on the story. Egypt has said there is no evidence

:15:21.:15:24.

to suggest the plane crash in October was the result of a

:15:25.:15:27.

terrorist attack but it is the latest chapter in a confusing story.

:15:28.:15:31.

Other countries have been terrorism. So, he has been saying what? Egypt

:15:32.:15:37.

has been reluctant to establish a causing other countries would

:15:38.:15:40.

jumping to conclusions. Their stance has at times been muddled. On the

:15:41.:15:45.

ninth consent of the black box on board have recorded the sound of a

:15:46.:15:48.

bomb. There were also reports that two airport staff were detained,

:15:49.:15:53.

although this was denied by the Interior Ministry. All this with

:15:54.:15:58.

so-called Islamic state claiming so-called Islamic state claiming

:15:59.:16:01.

responsibility. There are Sinai branch published a picture of the

:16:02.:16:06.

bomb they said they planted on board. After initial scepticism

:16:07.:16:11.

about terrorism, Russians concluded that a bomb to bring down the plane.

:16:12.:16:15.

They said their investigators had established that one kilo of

:16:16.:16:20.

explosives had detonated under two passenger seat is causing the plane

:16:21.:16:24.

to break up in midair. President Putin five the find and punish the

:16:25.:16:29.

culprits, offering a $50 million reward for the capture. The US and

:16:30.:16:35.

UK were amongst the first countries to suggest foul play. They said

:16:36.:16:38.

intelligence services pick-up chatter of a plot to die on the

:16:39.:16:41.

plane on the days before the incident. The West and Russia are

:16:42.:16:46.

still warning holiday-makers to stay away from Sinai. So, why such

:16:47.:16:52.

confused responses? Egypt worry about their tourism industry. There

:16:53.:16:55.

has already been a 10% drop this year and for a country that relies

:16:56.:17:00.

on tourism it is a worrying development. Russia initially

:17:01.:17:05.

battered away questions that I S was involved. But, as Rocher ramped up

:17:06.:17:12.

its operation against IIS in Syria and Iraq, perhaps accepting that

:17:13.:17:16.

terrorism was to blame was politically useful. Today's

:17:17.:17:20.

statement is pretty vague. The Egyptian postal concluded was

:17:21.:17:26.

terrorism, but in such a politically charged environment with security

:17:27.:17:28.

concerns all over the world is in the headlines the truth can be hard

:17:29.:17:36.

to decipher. Let's go to Rwanda. It is 20 years and six treatments --

:17:37.:17:46.

since extremists vowed to... The legal process designed to bring

:17:47.:17:51.

those to justice came to an end. It is estimated 200,000 people took

:17:52.:17:56.

part in the Rwandan genocide. Three quarters of the Tutsi population was

:17:57.:18:07.

killed. There were six guilty verdicts on people on crimes against

:18:08.:18:15.

humanity. It has performed well. It has been difficult. It is a hard

:18:16.:18:21.

slog to investigate crimes as widespread as the genocide of 1994.

:18:22.:18:27.

It kills 800,000 people in less than a hundred days. It has taken two

:18:28.:18:32.

decades but I believe the tribunal has fulfilled its mandate, which was

:18:33.:18:38.

to bring to justice the leaders responsible for the genocide and it

:18:39.:18:43.

has done that. All but eight of the people indicted that have been

:18:44.:18:49.

brought before the courts, and the leaders including a former prime

:18:50.:18:52.

minister had been sentenced to long periods of imprisonment in a number

:18:53.:18:57.

of countries in Africa and some to life in prison. For more

:18:58.:19:02.

information, you can find it from the BBC online. Let's start in South

:19:03.:19:09.

Africa with her business. It has been a week to remember for its

:19:10.:19:13.

finance ministry. It is in the -- it is onto his third Finance Minister

:19:14.:19:22.

in six days. First of all, this man, who did the job from 2,000 and 92

:19:23.:19:28.

2014. He is getting a second go at Sunday because he replaced this man,

:19:29.:19:34.

who was only four days in the job. He was sacked. So was this man, the

:19:35.:19:41.

man he replaced. Both the sackings came from President Zuma. What we

:19:42.:19:53.

were told is that President Zuma has received representations from

:19:54.:19:59.

various quarters and he had listened carefully to people's concerns about

:20:00.:20:09.

his very unannounced firing of the minister before it happening.

:20:10.:20:21.

He replaced Nlanlha Nene with that pretty much unknown person. The

:20:22.:20:30.

economy went into it freefall. Now that Pravin Gordhan has taken over,

:20:31.:20:36.

the rand has rallied a bit. Is this a short-term political storm, maybe

:20:37.:20:42.

not so significant to people outside South Africa, or is there something

:20:43.:20:48.

more fundamental about the position of the ruling party in South Africa?

:20:49.:20:53.

It is a good question. I think that President Zuma's personal reputation

:20:54.:21:00.

will be tainted for a long time to come by this decision. The ANC is

:21:01.:21:10.

likely to stay intact. There is of course our threat hanging over its

:21:11.:21:13.

own votes next year in the local government elections so they might

:21:14.:21:18.

be punished for being part of this fiasco, but it is not entirely clear

:21:19.:21:24.

that they will be losing swathes of constituencies because of this.

:21:25.:21:31.

Certainly President Zuma's reputation has taken a knock.

:21:32.:21:38.

Countries are going to have to paid close attention to the commitments

:21:39.:21:40.

they made on climate change in Paris. Have we heard from businesses

:21:41.:21:55.

in the states about this? Yes, you have chief executives of some of the

:21:56.:22:03.

blue-chip companies like Coca-Cola, HP, all expressing support. Richard

:22:04.:22:06.

Branson, the chief executive of virgin, went as far as to say that

:22:07.:22:10.

they have the opportunity to build a new economy. What we are seeing is

:22:11.:22:14.

that companies that were already on this path, they have been welcoming

:22:15.:22:22.

this, saying it is a global path to help these businesses manage their

:22:23.:22:28.

investments better. For those who were already going to invest in

:22:29.:22:31.

clean energy, whosoever starred as their corporate responsibility, they

:22:32.:22:35.

welcomed this. You also have those who are critical, like the US

:22:36.:22:40.

chamber commerce that lobbies Washington on behalf of some large

:22:41.:22:46.

-- on a half of some large US companies. They say this is forcing

:22:47.:22:50.

them to turn to more expensive and less readily available energy, and

:22:51.:22:54.

they think it will hurt them competitively globally. They were

:22:55.:22:58.

happy to say that this was not globally binding. I am guessing the

:22:59.:23:06.

fossil fuel industry is not as confused as some other areas of the

:23:07.:23:11.

economy? Exactly. Call is very frightened about this, Hants oil.

:23:12.:23:19.

They may be forced to change the way they do business. Each nation has to

:23:20.:23:27.

put their own plans in place but if you look at the DS Barack Obama has

:23:28.:23:32.

a clean power plants and he wants deep reductions in carbon dioxide --

:23:33.:23:41.

plan. That is why the coal industry has been fighting back on this, not

:23:42.:23:45.

being republicans and others in Congress to fight President Obama on

:23:46.:23:49.

this because they are concerned over how this will affect their business.

:23:50.:23:53.

Stocks of the fossil fuel companies are falling, and renewable energy

:23:54.:24:05.

stocks scooped skyrocket. The new Star Wars film premiers

:24:06.:24:09.

tonight. In terms of business it will be a huge success. Here is why.

:24:10.:24:18.

High energy and mastalgia for the original trilogy, the trainers offer

:24:19.:24:23.

no clues to the actual plot but fans are promised the same look and feel

:24:24.:24:28.

of the love at first films. This is not the same franchise. Its full

:24:29.:24:32.

force has been awakened by the empire. Their purchase of Lucasfilm

:24:33.:24:41.

adds these icons to their already famous characters. The future of the

:24:42.:24:47.

franchise is limitless. I see no reason that Star Wars can continue

:24:48.:24:53.

in the hands of gifted storytellers. A huge factor in the success of the

:24:54.:24:56.

franchise is as broad appeal across three generations. A retailer's

:24:57.:25:01.

dream that Disney has been more than happy to fulfil. We will be doubling

:25:02.:25:09.

our space in our stores the scar was -- Star Wars. Merchandising has

:25:10.:25:16.

driven much of the revenue. Sales are expected to be about 5 billion

:25:17.:25:21.

within a year of the release of the movie. Toys, novelty items, even

:25:22.:25:29.

video games. Star Wars battlefront is estimated 2 billion $700 billion.

:25:30.:25:34.

Is already planning for a couple of huge theme parks. Disney's strategy

:25:35.:25:39.

has been to make fewer of the two movies, leaving it to Pixar, Marvel

:25:40.:25:44.

and Lucasfilm to make the blockbusters, instead they will

:25:45.:25:49.

focus on marketing. What started in a galaxy far, far away has become

:25:50.:25:55.

self-sustaining business that could outlive first fans. I will be back

:25:56.:25:59.

in a couple of minutes with more outside source.
