This is BBC World News Today. Rupert Murdoch flies into London to | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
try to reassure angry journalists that News International that they | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
still have his support in what is being called the biggest rebellion | :00:22. | :00:29. | |

Rupert Murdoch, the owner of Britain's biggest-selling newspaper, | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
the Sun, has been trying to reassure worried staff that they | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
have his support. His news empire as a whole has been rocked by the | :01:42. | :01:48. | |
phone hacking scandal in the UK. In the past few days, 10 of the Sun | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
newspaper's current journalists have been arrested in relation to | :01:52. | :02:02. | |
alleged payments to corrupt A tabloid newspaper might have | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
called it Rupert's red top rescue. Mr Murdoch landed late last night | :02:07. | :02:13. | |
in Britain, the troublesome at Post Office global media empire. He had | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
had a night to consider how to boost morale at the Sun newspaper, | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
and by this morning News crews were waiting for him, besieging the | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
entrances of his headquarters. Rupert Murdoch was driven into the | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
building at speed to avoid them. He must have known what to expect, the | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
hacks were hacked off with Rupert Murdoch. Nine senior Sun newspaper | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
journalists, past and present, have been arrested and information has | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
been passed to the police by a committee set up by News | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
Corporation. So perhaps to boost morale, before said -- stepping | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
into the newsroom, Rupert Murdoch gave staff to pieces of news. | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
Firstly, arrested staff suspended would be able to return to work, | :02:57. | :03:04. | |
and secondly, a new son on Sunday would be published soon. He also | :03:04. | :03:14. | |
:03:14. | :03:27. | ||
The journalists union said that would not placate staff. They feel | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
completely and utterly betrayed. They feel as though they have been | :03:30. | :03:36. | |
thrown to the wards, that this is a company who is set on placating the | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
anger and growing hostility amongst the American investors and that | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
this is another cynical act of damage limitation in precisely the | :03:44. | :03:50. | |
same way the closure of the News of the world was. Rupert Murdoch's e- | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
mail played on his 43 year history with the sun, the paper that | :03:54. | :04:02. | |
brought him into the media market I am not surprised about launching | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
the new Sunday title. I don't think there was every question of what | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
had been discovered so far of the Sun newspaper being closed in that | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
dramatic way. But a seven-day Sun newspaper brought this reaction | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
from one phone hacking victim. is ludicrously premature, deeply | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
cynical, and News International themselves say they are trying to | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
drain the swamp. I do not see how this one can bring forth a new | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
creature we want to see. Rupert Murdoch may be gripping the issues, | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
but with protests, angry staff and a circling police investigation, | :04:36. | :04:45. | |
his tabloid troubles are not over I am joined here by the commentator | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
and journalist Steve Hewlett, who saw briefly. Has he managed to pull | :04:49. | :04:56. | |
it off, Rupert Murdoch? It is a pretty bold move. You could say | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
there is life in the old dog yet. He looks like he has gained control | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
but there are two things which are separate. The seven-day son, in a | :05:06. | :05:14. | |
way that is not really a surprise given that there staff were worried | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
about the News of the World style event, that they would find him | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
closing the paper down. He is saying he is committed to the paper | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
and that he is with us and has been for 40 odd years and we will have a | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
new title soon, he made them feel better. The other thing is this. If | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
you what Rupert Murdoch and you think you want to own the paper | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
forever or whether you what the News Corp investor, so it is | :05:36. | :05:42. | |
because they can, it doesn't matter. Either way the Sunday son is no bad | :05:42. | :05:48. | |
thing to do. It could blow up in his face. Yes, but the likelihood | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
is it will succeed well enough. would expect him to put some | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
distance between his global empire and the scandal that has been | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
engulfing his newspapers in the UK. He has to give something to both. | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
Do you think he has managed this? If the managing Standards Committee, | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
which is causing the other problem, which is about handing over | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
information to the police because there is evidence that payments may | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
have been made to public officials, that was causing ructions at the | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
beginning of the week. The Sunday title is slightly separate. The | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
thing causing trouble was that journalists felt they were thrown | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
to the walls and in order to clean house in the way he Hasted, | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
remember it goes back to the News of the world and the company's | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
abject failure to deal with the disgraced or goings on and the | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
cover-up that followed. In order to clean house as thoroughly as he | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
appears to need to defend his own reputation and that of the company | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
in the US, that is why the management standards committee a | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
handing everything they find to the police. Murdoch clearly has an | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
emotional attachment to his newspapers in the UK, but as part | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
of his corporation, it is a tiny part. But could problems here | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
affect the global empire? If he is seen not to clean house folly, of | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
course it could. If there is evidence that the company was | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
involved in corrupt practices then there is the corrupt practices Act | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
in the USA which may or may not apply here. The main thing is that | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
the journalists feel that with the way they are being treated, it is a | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
consequence to the fact that Rupert Murdoch has to protect his own | :07:24. | :07:30. | |
interests and reputation first, and the Sunday son might not solve that | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
problem. To how the mighty have fallen. Prime ministers used to | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
seek his advice and he was invited all these official functions and it | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
is quite a spectacular fall. That is true. He is still running News | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
Corporation. News Corporation investors, lots of the analysts | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
would say, strategically, newspaper are ink and paper in the digital | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
age, so get rid of them. The stink coming out of Wapping is likely to | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
go across the Atlantic and made things difficult. In terms of News | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
Corporation, aged only really Rupert he wants to keep the | :08:03. | :08:10. | |
newspapers. The Iranian President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has spoken out | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
against what he described as foreign interference in the affairs | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
of Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan. Mr Ahmadinejad made his comments at | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
the end of a summit in the Pakistani capital, Islamabad, in | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
which the presidents of the three countries discussed security, trade | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
and smuggling. All three leaders stressed the need for regional co- | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
operation but their summit was marred by a row between Afghanistan | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
and Pakistan over peace talks with the Taliban. From Islamabad, Aleem | :08:32. | :08:41. | |
:08:42. | :08:42. | ||
If there is to be peace in Afghanistan, Pakistan has to be | :08:42. | :08:47. | |
onside. Public messages show there is now harmony, but behind the | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
scenes, Afghan delegates at the summit say their President argued | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
with his Pakistani counterpart telling him that Islamabad was not | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
doing enough to push forward reconciliation with the Taliban. | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
The Pakistanis insists that as much as possible they will do whatever | :09:03. | :09:10. | |
President Karzai asks. Let him tell whoever he wants, the way he wants, | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
but if you are asking us to get a particular group around the table | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
it will not be possible for Pakistan. If we were that | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
influential with the Taliban there would be no terrorism in Pakistan. | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
But the summit was ultimately dominated by this man. President | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, clearly relishing another opportunity to | :09:30. | :09:37. | |
speak on an international platform. He talked of the determination in | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
the West to control and suppress the region and said it was foreign | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
interference that had caused all the problems here. He said that | :09:45. | :09:55. | |
:09:55. | :09:56. | ||
Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran had He got the photo opportunity he | :09:56. | :10:04. | |
wanted as well. With American's two allies in the region. Here in | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
Pakistan there is undoubtedly support for Iran in its nuclear | :10:08. | :10:15. | |
endeavours. What we are supporting is the right to pursue a nuclear | :10:15. | :10:21. | |
strategy, which they say is a peaceful one. America is a nuclear | :10:21. | :10:29. | |
power, so yes, if you have more nuclear powers in the world it will | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
balance it in a way. At a time when Washington is trying to persuade | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
other countries to put more pressure on to a romp over its | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
nuclear programme, Pakistan has just agreed to go ahead with a deal | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
to buy billions of dollars worth of gas from Iran. That, and today's | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
show of brotherly affection, will have made many in the West very | :10:49. | :10:59. | |
:10:59. | :11:02. | ||
Now a look at some of the days other news: Germany's President | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
Christian Wulff has resigned after prosecutors called for his immunity | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
to be lifted. He'd become embroiled in a scandal over a home loan he | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
had accepted before being appointed head of state. Mr Wulff denies any | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
wrongdoing. A bomb attack in north-west | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
Pakistan has killed at least 21 people. The explosion happened in | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
the town of Parachinar, near the Afghan border. Local officials said | :11:19. | :11:29. | |
:11:29. | :11:32. | ||
the blast was caused by a suicide bomber targeting Shia Muslims. | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
Libyans are celebrating the first anniversary of the start of the | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
revolution that toppled Muammar Gaddafi. The main festivities are | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
in the central square in Benghazi, where the uprising began. Thousands | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
have gathered there, with mothers holding pictures of their sons who | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
died in the fighting. The British Prime Minister, David Cameron and | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
the French President, Nicolas Sarkozy agreed deals to work more | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
closely on military operations and civil nuclear power. Their | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
relationship had come under scrutiny after the UK refused to | :11:52. | :11:58. | |
join a European fiscal pact. But Mr Cameron said they had an | :11:58. | :12:07. | |
"incredibly strong relationship Police in Italy say they have | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
seized fake US Treasury bonds worth six trillion dollars, a value equal | :12:11. | :12:17. | |
to almost half the entire US national debt. Police say the bonds | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
were hidden in forced compartments of three safety deposit boxes in | :12:20. | :12:26. | |
the Swiss city of Zurich. Let's get more on this story from Allan | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
Johnston. Tell us more about this. It is a fantastic amount of fake | :12:30. | :12:37. | |
bonds. It is indeed, and it all began in a much smaller way, down | :12:37. | :12:43. | |
in the far south of Italy, where police were investigating a mafia | :12:43. | :12:49. | |
group thought to be interested in loan sharking. But then a raid on a | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
suspect's house revealed American fake Treasury bonds and it was | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
realised that this was a gang with ambitions very much grander than | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
just loan sharking in southern Italy. An inquiry followed, across | :13:03. | :13:08. | |
several countries, and one year on that we hear today that this | :13:08. | :13:13. | |
seizure of a staggering six trillion dollars worth of fake US | :13:13. | :13:19. | |
bonds has been made by police in Switzerland, acting on information | :13:19. | :13:24. | |
from phone-tapping performed by the Italian police. The raid was | :13:25. | :13:30. | |
carried out in January, and today we heard news of arrests in Italy. | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
Several in various parts of the country. Is this an Italian | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
operation or was it an international one? Do we have an | :13:38. | :13:45. | |
idea who was arrested? Very much an Italian operation. It began here, | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
and all of the arrests have been made here. But it is international | :13:48. | :13:53. | |
in scope. We understand that the chests full of Treasury bonds began | :13:53. | :13:59. | |
their journey in Hong Kong in 2007 and were shipped to Europe and then | :13:59. | :14:04. | |
unearthed in the raid in Zurich by the Swiss police last month. Allen, | :14:04. | :14:14. | |

Police in southern Greece are hunting for two armed robbers who | :14:15. | :14:21. | |
stole around 60 artifacts from the museum in the town of Olympiad. It | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
is the second major museum theft. The Greek culture minister has | :14:25. | :14:35. | |
:14:35. | :14:37. | ||
offered his resignation. Two men entered the museum. They | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
asked a female employee for various ancient objects. She refused, she | :14:41. | :14:50. | |
was tied up, and the men started to smash glass cabinets. This raises | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
immense questions about museums security in Greece, because around | :14:54. | :15:01. | |
one month ago, the National Gallery was also Birkle. Paintings were | :15:01. | :15:08. | |
stolen in the early hours of the morning. -- was also burgled. There | :15:08. | :15:15. | |
are questions about other elements here, security in museums, housing | :15:15. | :15:25. | |
:15:25. | :15:26. | ||
some important treasures. A top Chinese official is visiting | :15:26. | :15:31. | |
Syria as the violent crackdown against opposition groups continues. | :15:31. | :15:36. | |
It is not known what message the Chinese envoy has far President | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
Assad, but the country voted against a UN resolution calling for | :15:40. | :15:50. | |
:15:50. | :15:53. | ||
him to step down. Demonstrations after Friday prayers. | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
Activists say security forces opened fire, killing several | :15:56. | :16:06. | |
:16:06. | :16:08. | ||
protesters, wounding others. In the far north, there were shooting. | :16:08. | :16:13. | |
That was an upturn that has not yet been fully caught up in the revolt. | :16:13. | :16:19. | |
Activists released footage of killings in the east. Similar | :16:19. | :16:24. | |
scenes were reported in many other places. In the centre of the | :16:24. | :16:32. | |
country, tanks were firing at short range. | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
Parts of the city have been battered like this for nearly two | :16:35. | :16:44. | |
weeks, as security forces tried to dislodge hundreds of armed rebels. | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
Activists say these 15 men were captured near the northern border | :16:48. | :16:53. | |
with Turkey, and some executed. Such claims cannot be verified but | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
the pictures would be difficult to fake. The passing of the resolution | :16:57. | :17:02. | |
at the UN General Assembly is not affecting results on the ground. | :17:02. | :17:07. | |
Russia and China voted against it, saying they want a Syrian solution, | :17:07. | :17:13. | |
not regime change. I will work with the international community and | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
play a positive role in appropriately resolving the issues | :17:16. | :17:26. | |
:17:26. | :17:30. | ||
of Syria. The Chinese deputy minister is in Damascus. | :17:30. | :17:37. | |
The chances of successful mediation right now seem very slight. Arab | :17:38. | :17:44. | |
powers will meet in Tunisia next week. They what the regime to call. | :17:44. | :17:51. | |
Two days after that, surreal will go ahead with a referendum on a new | :17:51. | :17:58. | |
constitution. There is no dialogue except on the battlefield. | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
The vice-president of south Sudan, Riek Machar, has been speaking | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
exclusively to the BBC. He says his country will survive despite the | :18:06. | :18:14. | |
fact it has stopped its oil production. South Sudan separated | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
from Sudan last year, but they have never agreed on fees for the | :18:18. | :18:26. | |
pipelines. Oil provides 90 % of revenue. Riek Machar said he had no | :18:26. | :18:33. | |
concerns about how they would cope without it. We have now decided to | :18:33. | :18:43. | |
build new pipelines, as opposed to the pipeline going through Sudan, | :18:43. | :18:50. | |
and we hope within 30 months, the oil revenue will flower again. | :18:50. | :19:00. | |
talk about 30 months, where you find the money? Oil reserves. | :19:00. | :19:10. | |
:19:10. | :19:10. | ||
big enough to cover that? -- are the big enough? We will see, we | :19:10. | :19:20. | |
:19:20. | :19:23. | ||
have other revenue sources. Will you be to get loans? -- need. | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
need loans, it will be for development budgets. For building | :19:28. | :19:38. | |
alternative pipelines. To conduct the normal business, provide | :19:38. | :19:48. | |
business services, we will need that. Sudan's president has said | :19:48. | :19:54. | |
the crisis with oil has brought these countries close to war? Do | :19:54. | :19:59. | |
you share that analysis? I do not share that, there is no reason for | :19:59. | :20:09. | |
:20:09. | :20:10. | ||
the two countries to go to war. The oil is our resource, if we feel | :20:10. | :20:17. | |
that we are not getting a good deal, we have a right to shut it down. | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
When they provide a good deal we will talk. There is no reason for | :20:21. | :20:30. | |
war. South Sudan's vice president, Riek Machar. For sea-lions, it is | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
the ultimate in self-help. The mammals themselves have been | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
trained to take part in a scientific experiment to find out | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
why the species is dying out. Scientists in Vancouver have | :20:42. | :20:52. | |
:20:52. | :20:56. | ||
strapped cameras and tracking equipment onto them. | :20:56. | :21:03. | |

the animals and it is really important for the bond of trust. | :21:24. | :21:30. | |
Her kind are dying out, nobody knows why. To find out, Canadian | :21:30. | :21:34. | |
researchers have fitted her and 300 other sea lions with tracking | :21:34. | :21:41. | |
equipment and cameras. She seems happy to help. She is taken on her | :21:41. | :21:48. | |
own personal speedboat. The icy waters are more or mild here. It is | :21:49. | :21:54. | |
the perfect place to study how she hunts for food. They will put her | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
to the test. Using this equipment, researchers hope to learn more | :21:59. | :22:08. | |
:22:09. | :22:09. | ||
about what happens when she dies. - - dives. She finds her way into an | :22:09. | :22:18. | |
enclosure underneath the platform. She goes to the bottom of the water, | :22:18. | :22:27. | |
then the measure precisely the energy she uses. They discovered it | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
is much harder for her to hunt near the surface, a clue as to why her | :22:31. | :22:38. | |
kind are dying out. To understand their daily lives you need to spend | :22:38. | :22:43. | |
24 hours a day with them. You need to find out what times of the year | :22:43. | :22:52. | |
are critical, how they do them. We're getting into their heads. | :22:52. | :22:56. | |
the first time, researchers are looking at the world through the | :22:56. | :23:00. | |
eyes of sea-lions. They will see if they can reverse the decline of | :23:00. | :23:08. | |
these magnificent creatures. Leonard Bernstein was one of the | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
greatest musical figures of the 20th century. He composed hit | :23:12. | :23:17. | |
musicals and many symphonies. He also worked with the world's top | :23:17. | :23:22. | |
orchestras including the New York Philharmonic, and made a TV series | :23:22. | :23:24. | |
with them called Concerts for Young People. That tradition is being | :23:24. | :23:34. | |
:23:34. | :23:36. | ||
revived by a his data. -- by his daughter. She told us how her | :23:36. | :23:41. | |
father brought music the young people. Most pop tunes fit Apache | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
and strictly. The only difference is that usually the first section | :23:45. | :23:53. | |
is repeated right away it before at the next section comes. In the | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
beginning they were alive, black and white, there were no telly | :23:56. | :24:04. | |
proctors, so my father had to memorise his script. He would have | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
little notes hidden in the piano. They would remind him where he was. | :24:08. | :24:15. | |
Basically, he was doing it off the top of his head. Firstly there is | :24:15. | :24:25. | |
:24:25. | :24:29. | ||
the first section. # I give her all my love. #. That was my father's | :24:29. | :24:34. | |
genius, he made his music accessible, music that people might | :24:34. | :24:41. | |
find daunting, it difficult. When he talked about it he just made it | :24:41. | :24:51. | |
:24:51. | :24:56. | ||
regular and unthreatening. # You'd love her too. That is the first | :24:56. | :25:01. | |
section. One of the ground-breaking elements | :25:01. | :25:04. | |
in these televised concerts was my father made it very clear he did | :25:04. | :25:09. | |
not make value judgements between one genre of music and another, as | :25:09. | :25:19. | |
:25:19. | :25:19. | ||
long as music was good, delicious. My 14-year-old doctor mac happen to | :25:19. | :25:26. | |
ask me why certain Beatles song had such funny harmony. I explained | :25:26. | :25:36. | |
:25:36. | :25:36. | ||
that it was a model. -- modal. People were very rigid about | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
compartmentalise in music, some people thought pop-music -- | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
classical music was worthy, but did not think highly of rock and roll. | :25:44. | :25:49. | |
Looking back on it, we feel like we were the guinea pigs for young | :25:49. | :25:56. | |
people. He would try out the material for us, and in the course | :25:56. | :26:03. | |
of our conversations he would come up with the script. We would be in | :26:03. | :26:13. | |
:26:13. | :26:23. | ||
the car talking about modes. would tell us what a Maude was. The | :26:23. | :26:28. | |
next concert would be about modes. When he got to mix a Lydian, he | :26:28. | :26:38. | |
:26:38. | :26:41. | ||
would go to the piano. -- Mixolydian. # You really got me | :26:41. | :26:49. | |
now... # That was Leonard Bernstein, and | :26:49. | :26:59. | |
:26:59. | :26:59. | ||
that is all. Now the weather. | :26:59. | :27:06. | |
Good evening. It has been a mild Good evening. It has been a mild | :27:06. | :27:10. | |
week. It will be noticeably colder. Temperatures will drop away, there | :27:10. | :27:15. | |
will be some snow showers in the north. The wind will strengthen | :27:15. | :27:19. | |
overnight, blowing and band of rain said these words across the UK. | :27:19. | :27:23. | |
Then sunshine and colder weather will follow. Some wintry showers in | :27:23. | :27:27. | |
the north. The afternoon looks bright and sunny in the North of | :27:27. | :27:32. | |
England, but it will feel colder. The last of the Mile there is in | :27:32. | :27:35. | |
the south-east of England during the afternoon but it looked like it | :27:35. | :27:43. | |
could be wet by then. -- the milder here. The temperatures will really | :27:43. | :27:49. | |
drop in the afternoon, apart from some late sunshine. A bright and | :27:49. | :27:58. | |
sunny picture in Wales, across the Irish Sea, some showers. We will | :27:58. | :28:02. | |
find some snow at lower levels in Scotland, could well have blizzards | :28:02. | :28:10. |
