Hello. Welcome home at last. One Israeli soldier and nearly 500 | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
Palestinians are enjoying their first day of freedom after a | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
historic exchange of prisoners between Israel and Hamas. Gilad | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
Shalit emerged from five long years in a cellar to be greeted by an | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
ecstatic crowd of friends and supporters in his hometown in | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
Israel. A huge celebration was laid on in Gaza as families there | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
welcomed their sons and daughters home, some of whom have been | :01:51. | :02:00. | |
imprisoned for 20 years. From dawn, Palestinians were | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
gathering for the welcome home. Prisoners who took arms against | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
Israel are exulted in Palestinian society, their actions seem as | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
heroic. Israelis regard them as killers and accessory to murder. | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
His 11 year-olds is waiting for her mother, imprisoned for 10 years for | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
helping suicide bombers reach their targets. Her father was not being | :02:21. | :02:27. | |
released. In northern Israel, the Shalit family, after five years of | :02:27. | :02:34. | |
campaigning, was picked up from their home for the Newry Union. | :02:34. | :02:43. | |
Gilad Shalit, pale and thin, was released. He gave an interview. | :02:43. | :02:49. | |
TRANSLATION: Of course I have missed my family. He hoped the deal | :02:49. | :02:55. | |
would end wars between Israel and the Palestinians. He was flown to | :02:55. | :03:03. | |
meet his family. The Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu needed him first. | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
Then he had a reunion with his father, who led a tenacious | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
campaign for freedom. In Gaza, a big welcome is being prepared for | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
the Palestinian prisoners who were released as soon as is rare had | :03:17. | :03:26. | |
Gary Shalit back. This is a victory for Hamas. On the West Bank, | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
clashes started when the release took longer. There was no sign of | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
any new positive atmosphere, just the old one. Stones, tear-gas and | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
canons is shooting water. The Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
the political rival of a mass -- Hamas, welcomed the prisoners back. | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
He has asked his rare many times to release them. Everyone in the crowd | :03:52. | :04:00. | |
knew that Hamas had succeeded where President amass had failed. These | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
men are being treated as conquering heroes. What freed them was a | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
transaction between Hamas and the Israelis. It has not get them | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
closer to a peace agreement, because there are still the big | :04:12. | :04:19. | |
issues of war and peace and the future of this land that remain. | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
By the evening, Gilad Shalit was back home. His last five years must | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
have been desperately lonely. His country and its Palestinian | :04:30. | :04:39. | |
:04:40. | :04:40. | ||
neighbours will have to wait longer. Our correspondent is in Gilad | :04:40. | :04:48. | |
Shalit home. Tell us about the scenes there. | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
scenes there. They have been extraordinary scenes. | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
The crowds have mostly melted away, but the helicopter touched down | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
here late afternoon, and then Gilad Shalit was taken in a convoy of | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
cars from the landing pad and brought here through the village. | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
It huge number of people had turned out to line the roads. They were | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
throwing flowers at the car and opening bottles of champagne and | :05:13. | :05:20. | |
spraying it over the car. They were dancing and singing. Really, very | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
significant and moving scenes here. One person was saying to me that | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
this is the happiest day they have had over the past five years. | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
Anstey most of the people in this crowd think it was a price worth | :05:32. | :05:39. | |
paying? Yes, they do. But as everybody has been saying, there | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
are mixed feelings. There is the concern, even amongst the people | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
here, about the price which has been paid, which is the fact that | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
more than 1000 Palestinian prisoners will be released. Half of | :05:53. | :05:59. | |
them have been released today, and another 500 or so within the next | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
couple of months. People are concerned that some of those who | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
are to be released have been involved in some of the most | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
serious attacks on Israeli soil over the past few decades. The | :06:10. | :06:17. | |
concern is that they've -- there will be an upsurge in violence. | :06:17. | :06:25. | |
There are mixed emotions even here in the Shalit East home town. | :06:25. | :06:31. | |
Our correspondent has been amongst the thousands of celebrating | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
Palestinians in Gaza City. He says they are claiming a victory of | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
Israel. It is pretty defined and | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
celebratory, really. I can hear fireworks at the moment to my left, | :06:42. | :06:47. | |
and what sounds like gunfire, celebratory gunfire, to my right. | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
There was a mass rally in the square behind me in Gaza City. I | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
would save over 100,000 people were waving green Hamas flags and | :06:56. | :07:03. | |
listening to an address by it is now Haniya, the Hamas Prime | :07:03. | :07:10. | |
Minister, alongside hundreds of the released prisoners. They have | :07:10. | :07:18. | |
traded thousands of Brit -- 1000 prisoners for one man. | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
A bit later in this programme, we will be discussing a what the | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
Exchange means for peace in the Middle East. Now let us take a look | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
at some of the day's other news. If there has been a greater than | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
expected rise in inflation in Britain, adding to pressures on | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
living standards, due partly to shop increases in gas and | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
electricity. Inflation now stands at 5.2%, the highest in the last | :07:42. | :07:48. | |
three years. Unemployment is high and a economic growth is slow. | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
He European Court of Justice has banned the issuing of patents for | :07:53. | :08:00. | |
medical treatments using stands cells extracted from human embryos. | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
The ruling is based on ethical grounds and was criticised by some | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
scientists. Two British teenagers have been | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
arrested in Kenya on suspicion of having links with other Islamist | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
group in Somalia. The men were picked up close to the border with | :08:16. | :08:22. | |
Somalia. The fathers of the boys travelled to Kenya to try to find | :08:22. | :08:28. | |
their sons. We had this week the appalling case | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
of four mentally disabled adults locked in a squalid basement in | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
Philadelphia, while their captors cashed their social security checks. | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
Police discovery has led to charges of false imprisonment and | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
kidnapping, after the malnourished victims were found in a boiler room. | :08:45. | :08:52. | |
Our correspondent reports. A grim-faced detective opens the | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
door to a tiny, terrifying world. In this cramped underground space, | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
foldable adults were kept prisoner without food, without lights and | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
surrounded by their own waste. They barely had room to stand up. One of | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
the men was changed to a boiler. They had been looked -- locked up | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
with dogs and just a single bottle of drink. Here are three of the | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
alleged victims giving local television a graphic account of | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
their ordeal after being freed. They are painfully thin, and it is | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
not just the physical scars that a shocking. They all have severe | :09:27. | :09:37. | |
:09:37. | :09:41. | ||
learning difficulties, making them I escaped one time to one of the | :09:41. | :09:51. | |
:09:51. | :09:53. | ||
houses that we used to love him. -- live in. They got me. 50-year-old | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
woman is in -- charged with false imprisonment and kidnapping. She | :09:58. | :10:04. | |
has a previous convicting -- conviction. It is alleged that she | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
and two co-defendants preyed on the vulnerable to pocket their social | :10:07. | :10:13. | |
security checks -- cheques. When you look at these conditions, it is | :10:13. | :10:19. | |
something out of a dungeon. To know that you were taken at -- you were | :10:19. | :10:26. | |
taking advantage of a fellow human hit being is that discussed in. | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
incite the property, police found dozens of identification documents. | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
The FBI is now looking at the woman's previous homes in Texas and | :10:34. | :10:42. | |
Florida to see whether others may have suffered the same experience. | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
An independent report into allegations of beatings, torture | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
and murder in police custody in Bahrain will be published shortly. | :10:49. | :10:54. | |
It was commissioned by the king of Bahrain, following criticism over | :10:54. | :11:00. | |
how his government felt with the -- dealt with the failed Arab Spring | :11:00. | :11:10. | |
:11:10. | :11:11. | ||
uprising there. Morning. Visitors from the | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
political majority protest at the killing of a teenager at a recent | :11:14. | :11:24. | |
:11:24. | :11:32. | ||
clash. It is part of a movement to give the sunny people more powerful | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
stop to see the other side, I joined a patrol with the special | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
security force. They are feared and hated by the | :11:40. | :11:45. | |
protesters. This is what they do every night, going out to the | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
villages and checking out the demonstrations, the protests, the | :11:47. | :11:57. | |
:11:57. | :11:58. | ||
road blocks. They confront a sporadic civil disobedience. | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
Roadblocks and rock throwing by Shi'ite youth's, the Government | :12:03. | :12:09. | |
supporters called traitors. Most people have no sympathy for these | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
protests. In February, at the height of Bahrain's uprising, the | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
security forces? Heavy-handed tactics caused international | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
outrage. One of those attacked was his doctor, he gave the BBC a | :12:22. | :12:29. | |
bedside interview at the time. beat me with sticks. I told them I | :12:29. | :12:36. | |
am a doctor, but that -- I believe they are not listening. They | :12:36. | :12:45. | |
started to beat me. They told me to get up, we will kill you and let | :12:45. | :12:53. | |
you die. The king of Bahrain has responded to allegations by | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
commissioning -- commissioning an international inquiry. The | :12:55. | :13:01. | |
Government is on a charm offensive. There were abuses of human rights. | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
We, the Government, address those mistakes. They were not just | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
mistakes done by the Government. They were done by the demonstrators | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
as well. Those issues have been faced. A but the demonstrators are | :13:13. | :13:18. | |
not in charge. A Yes, so what I'm saying is that abuses happen from | :13:18. | :13:26. | |
everyone. Were they systematic? No, they were not. They agreed to let | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
me see inside a police detention centre. This is not the main prison, | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
nor is it where most of the interrogations have taken place, | :13:34. | :13:40. | |
but it was the first visit by the media. Most people said they were 1 | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
-- well-treated, although one and whispered that he had been beaten. | :13:44. | :13:51. | |
This country harbours thousands of human rights allegations. How the | :13:51. | :13:53. | |
Government reacts to the findings of an investigation will determine | :13:53. | :14:02. | |
More now on our top story this hour - the prisoner exchange in the | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
Middle East. Today's swap - the Israeli Gilat Shalit for more than | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
400 Palestinian prisoners is just the latest in a long history of | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
asymmetric exchanges between Israel and the Palestinians. But what will | :14:11. | :14:17. | |
it mean for Middle East peace? Mouin Rabbani is a senior fellow | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
with the Institute for Palestinian Studies and he joins me now from | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
Cairo. Daniel Levy is a senior fellow and | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
co-director of the Middle East Task Force for the New America | :14:27. | :14:35. | |
Foundation and he joins me from New York. | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
Mr Rabbani, a total of 1,000 Palestinians for one Israeli - | :14:38. | :14:48. | |
that's a pretty good deal. It would be an even better deal if Israel | :14:48. | :14:55. | |
did not have an additional 5000 or so Palestinians in its prisons. The | :14:55. | :15:01. | |
explanation for this is that Israel was able to arrest Palestinians at | :15:01. | :15:07. | |
will add to try them up in kangaroo courts at well I give them absurdly | :15:07. | :15:14. | |
high sentences. Palestinians are not in a position to arrest Israeli | :15:14. | :15:23. | |
soldiers or settlers guilty of crimes against Palestinians. I | :15:23. | :15:29. | |
think that is the short answer to your question. Part of the deal is | :15:29. | :15:36. | |
that they will not all go home to Gaza. What do you make of that? | :15:36. | :15:41. | |
think if Palestinian public opinion is probably overwhelmingly and | :15:41. | :15:49. | |
genuinely best tactic -- delighted. They did not expect to see so many | :15:49. | :15:59. | |
:15:59. | :15:59. | ||
prisoners see the light of day. But at the same time, the intention is | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
that they will not be able to communicate with family in the West | :16:03. | :16:13. | |
:16:13. | :16:14. | ||
Bank. I should also add that as a matter of international law, | :16:14. | :16:21. | |
deportation is a grave breach by the occupying powers, even if | :16:21. | :16:26. | |
Palestinian negotiators and prisoners have agreed to it. | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
David Levy, what will the political fall out be in Israel? Will this be | :16:30. | :16:35. | |
seen as an act of weakness by Bejamin Netanyahu? I can tell you | :16:35. | :16:42. | |
what an opinion poll in yesterday's newspaper said, which was that 79% | :16:42. | :16:51. | |
of the public supported this. Binyamin Netanyahu has one of the | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
issues raised against him that he does not make decisions, he is not | :16:55. | :17:05. | |
:17:05. | :17:06. | ||
a leader. He will win some support by having shown leadership. He will | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
want to change the conversation when at the Parliament reconvenes | :17:10. | :17:19. | |
next month. A where this could go wrong is if any of those released | :17:19. | :17:25. | |
are implicated in any future action for fatalities against Israel. He | :17:25. | :17:32. | |
won overwhelming support in his own Cabinet, but a monster those who | :17:32. | :17:42. | |
:17:42. | :17:55. | ||
-- but amongst those oppose the deal, who oppose the deal were | :17:55. | :18:04. | |
possible contenders for his leadership. | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
Mouin Rabbani, Hamas will gain from this deal, won't it, at the expense | :18:07. | :18:13. | |
of President Abbas and Fatah? now have this bizarre reality where | :18:13. | :18:19. | |
Israel has demonstrated that it is prepared to negotiate seriously, | :18:19. | :18:29. | |
but with Hamas rather than the movement that wants to reach our | :18:29. | :18:37. | |
comprehensive two state settlement. Talks and negotiations continue to | :18:37. | :18:46. | |
be rejected between Hamas on behalf of his surreal while Israel is | :18:46. | :18:54. | |
negotiating with Hamas. You are nodding during that. Do you agree | :18:54. | :19:01. | |
that this is bad for any future peace process? I would not say that, | :19:01. | :19:08. | |
because the peace process is at a dead end and negotiating with only | :19:09. | :19:16. | |
one part of the Palestinian Party is not going to get us anywhere. It | :19:16. | :19:23. | |
will now be ever more impossible to pursue that track. Binyamin | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
Netanyahu has shown that is a real does respond, but only when there | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
is pressure and the reason for responding. This undermines any | :19:31. | :19:36. | |
sense that they are going to negotiate seriously with mud would | :19:36. | :19:46. | |
:19:46. | :19:46. | ||
have us. In the next few hours, the winner | :19:46. | :19:53. | |
of the most prestigious literary prize will be announced. Critics | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
say the Man Booker Prize has been dumbed down as the head of the | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
judging panel says this year's finalists were chosen for their | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
readability. The BBC's Gavin Esler is at the award ceremony in Central | :20:02. | :20:11. | |
London. Yes, we will know with them a few hours who has won the price. | :20:11. | :20:16. | |
-- with them back. There is a row about the short list, is it | :20:16. | :20:26. | |
:20:26. | :20:26. | ||
literary enough? Let's hear from the six authors of the short list. | :20:26. | :20:32. | |
We live in time, it holds ask. But I have never understood it very | :20:32. | :20:40. | |
well. It may exist elsewhere in parallel versions. It was so cold | :20:40. | :20:45. | |
that there was nobody smoking in the streets. The traffic police had | :20:45. | :20:55. | |
:20:55. | :20:57. | ||
been issued with old fashioned to Boots. The expected the mettle to | :20:57. | :21:06. | |
drop when a large spider fell to the ground on its back. My pulse | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
was printing and I became weak headed because I am very much | :21:09. | :21:14. | |
afraid of spiders and snakes and crawling things. When we came up | :21:14. | :21:20. | |
blinking out on to the foreshore, there was a vision of beauty, a | :21:20. | :21:30. | |
:21:30. | :21:30. | ||
tall and local three-masted clapper blink t from India. -- Clipper | :21:30. | :21:40. | |
bringing tea Edinburgh. He did not go to my school. He could have ride | :21:40. | :21:49. | |
his bike with my hands. I said a prayer for him inside my head. | :21:49. | :21:55. | |
Think about it. German and American children growing up in Paris | :21:55. | :22:05. | |
:22:05. | :22:08. | ||
between the wars making joyful music. The legend survives. That is | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
just a flavour of the opposite reading from their work. To debate | :22:12. | :22:22. | |
:22:22. | :22:23. | ||
the bigger issues here I am joined by a former publisher. Is the fuss | :22:23. | :22:32. | |
good for business? It is tremendous. Nothing stops you redeem the worm | :22:32. | :22:37. | |
so it had been rejected from the short list. -- nothing stops you | :22:37. | :22:44. | |
reading of the ones that have been rejected a from the short list. I | :22:44. | :22:47. | |
think it is true to a certain extent that there are some | :22:47. | :22:57. | |
:22:57. | :22:58. | ||
surprises. Some wonderful authors and books did not make it to the | :22:58. | :23:08. | |
:23:08. | :23:08. | ||
short list. But in literature, we are always amazed at the choices of | :23:08. | :23:16. | |
others. The debate was partly about readability, partly about genre. | :23:16. | :23:26. | |
:23:26. | :23:30. | ||
There is a thriller and a Western. You could go back to 1989 and ask | :23:30. | :23:40. | |
:23:40. | :23:42. | ||
for the run-up in that here was a crime novel. Nothing is bad, but | :23:42. | :23:48. | |
thinking makes it so. What is a readable it depends on the | :23:48. | :23:58. | |
:23:58. | :23:58. | ||
individual. Some people prefer a more literary stuff. This opens up | :23:58. | :24:06. | |
the prize to the most -- it to the widest audience. Julian Barnes is a | :24:06. | :24:16. | |
:24:16. | :24:19. | ||
big name on the list. He is famous for saying the whole system is... | :24:19. | :24:23. | |
At the end, it will be the alchemy and their individual personalities | :24:23. | :24:29. | |
of the judges which makes their choice. All six are fabulous books. | :24:29. | :24:38. | |
But, yes, it is posh Bengal. Gisela is saying it is partly a lottery | :24:38. | :24:42. | |
because on the night, none of them know what the who is going to win | :24:42. | :24:47. | |
and it is awful to be in that position. They do look like circus | :24:47. | :24:54. | |
animals almost. Julian Barnes has a fantastic pedigree and has a | :24:54. | :24:59. | |
wonderful writer and has written a marvellous book. I do not see, with | :24:59. | :25:06. | |
him on the list, how people can say that the list is terrible. | :25:06. | :25:11. | |
Readability is not to do with that. People should pick the best books, | :25:11. | :25:17. | |
whether they are readable or not is a secondary condition. What do your | :25:17. | :25:22. | |
bit of the others, the less familiar names, Patrick deWitt I | :25:22. | :25:31. | |
had never heard of before? These are super books. The fact that they | :25:32. | :25:40. | |
are not known, ought known only end assure -- or only known in a small | :25:40. | :25:50. | |
:25:50. | :25:55. | ||
circle, that adds a certain because it. -- a certain element. In each | :25:55. | :26:02. | |
year, there is a different panel of judges, and each panel adds his own | :26:02. | :26:10. | |
character. This year, it has been much more open and accessible. | :26:10. | :26:13. | |
choices they made for the short list have been more surprising than | :26:13. | :26:20. | |
people have expected. The books are wider ranging. The Booker, because | :26:20. | :26:25. | |
it picks books from that Commonwealth has always had a | :26:25. | :26:34. | |
variety and has always picked books that people have not heard off. It | :26:34. | :26:40. | |
is one way to discover brilliant writers. Ethic that is one of the | :26:40. | :26:45. | |
appeals of the prize. The problem is partly about discovering writers | :26:45. | :26:51. | |
and judging writers are on their books. In a way, your first book is | :26:51. | :26:54. | |
going to be your best book because there is nothing to judge it | :26:54. | :27:03. | |
against. After nine or 10 books, people could say that it is a good | :27:03. | :27:09. | |
book, but not the best book so do not put it on the list. This could | :27:09. | :27:19. | |
:27:19. | :27:19. | ||
transform the lives of the authors. It could change it for them in | :27:19. | :27:24. | |
terms of writing, film sales, it is an international praise and the | :27:24. | :27:29. | |
most important one in the whole world. Thank you very much. We will | :27:29. | :27:36. | |
know the winner very shortly. A reminder of our main news. The | :27:36. | :27:39. | |
Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, held captive in Gaza for more than five | :27:39. | :27:42. | |
years, is now back at home after being released and reunited with | :27:42. | :27:52. | |
:27:52. | :28:01. | ||
his family in Israel. The colder weather has arrived with | :28:01. | :28:04. | |
showers in the North and West that will continue over night. Clear | :28:04. | :28:09. | |
spells elsewhere. Tomorrow, we start with the showers in the same | :28:09. | :28:14. | |
area as but then the move south east. It was still be windy. The | :28:14. | :28:19. | |
wind coming in from the north-west. High pressure coming in from | :28:19. | :28:26. | |
Wednesday. On Wednesday morning, it is a cool start. The showers at | :28:26. | :28:29. | |
moving into the south-east. But plenty of sunshine across northern | :28:29. | :28:36. | |
England. The showers will move through the Midlands into East | :28:36. | :28:41. | |
Anglia and the South East. Some of these could be on the heavy side. | :28:41. | :28:45. | |
Just a 13 degrees in London and most of us will fall well short of | :28:45. | :28:51. | |
that. Sunny spells through its south-west England, showers few and | :28:51. | :28:58. | |
far between in Wales. Few were showers for the afternoon in | :28:58. | :29:05. | |
Northern Ireland. Coastal showers in Scotland, some towards the north | :29:05. | :29:09. |
