This is BBC World News Today with the me Zeinab Badawi. A huge | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
manhunt is under way in France as a gunman kills four people including | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
three children at a Jewish school in Toulouse. Police are linking the | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
shooting with the killing last week of three soldiers of North African | :00:27. | :00:33. | |
origin. I consider all the peoples of this school as my children. I | :00:33. | :00:39. | |
cannot describe how I feel. This assertion nation does not just a | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
concerned the Jewish community but the whole of France. The whole | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
nation has been touched and heard. One year on since NATO began its | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
bombing campaign in Libya, what effect did it have and what now for | :00:51. | :00:56. | |
the country after the end of the Gaddafi regime? Government forces | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
and its three Syria army opponents clashed in a suburb of Damascus as | :01:01. | :01:08. | |
well as Syria's second city Aleppo. Also coming up: in the name of so- | :01:08. | :01:13. | |
called honour - why one-fifth of young British Asians still think | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
physical punishment should be used on a woman they believe has | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
dishonoured her family. I thought the only way I will get out is | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
through the upstairs window or by killing myself. And we have a | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
special report on whether a truth and reconciliation process South | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
African-style could help the once divided communities in the Northern | :01:34. | :01:44. | |
:01:44. | :01:50. | ||
Good evening. There is shock across France at the clinical nature of | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
the attack in Toulouse that left four dead outside a Jewish school, | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
including three children. The murders were carried out by a | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
master gunmen on a black motor scooter. He is also suspected of | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
killing three French paratroopers of North African origin last week. | :02:06. | :02:12. | |
Police believe they are looking for the same man. President Sarkozy has | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
described it as a tragedy and has placed the region on the highest | :02:16. | :02:22. | |
terror alert level. The Monday morning school run that | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
descended into panic and terror. As parents were dropping children at | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
the gates of the Ozar Hatorah this morning, a lone gunman called up on | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
a scooter and opened fire. He shot everyone in front of him, said the | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
parents, and then chased the children into the school grounds. | :02:40. | :02:46. | |
Among the four dead was 30-year-old rabbi Jonathan Santa and his two | :02:46. | :02:53. | |
sons. 29 year-old barrack told me he'd just finished chatting to his | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
friend at the school gates, seconds later the rabbi was dead. | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
TRANSLATION: he shot one bullet into the air and hit the tree. | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
After that he shot the father and children in front of them. I ran | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
straight into the school but he followed us and opened fire again. | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
When he left he started shooting again. The 4th victim was also a | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
child between 8 and 10 years old. Witnesses said one of the gunman's | :03:20. | :03:27. | |
weapon jammed. I had just arrived when we heard shooting. We were all | :03:27. | :03:34. | |
frightened and shocked. This evening, there were prayers in the | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
cathedral of Notre dam as different faiths came together to condemn the | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
attack. The President Nicolas Sarkozy who have postponed a busy | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
re-election campaign to travel to Toulouse has called for a minutes' | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
silence across the country tomorrow. TRANSLATION: this assassination | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
does not just concerned the Jewish community but the whole of France. | :03:55. | :04:02. | |
The whole nation has been touched and hurt. You must believe it. | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
Police profilers have been building a picture of the suspect and his | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
movements following two previous attacks in the Toulouse region in | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
over a week. On Thursday three paratroopers have gone down outside | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
a base 30 miles away. Tonight police have revealed all three | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
cases are connected. On each case and the gunmen escaped on a scooter, | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
his face hidden by his helmet and in all three incidents he carried | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
automatic weapons. Anti-terrorist police have taken over this | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
investigation and are sifting through hours of film from CCTV | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
that captured both the attacks and the escape. The gunman's knowledge | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
of the roads suggest he is local. One witness revealed the man has a | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
tattoo on his face. The motive? That is less clear but the victims | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
have been of Jewish, black or North African descent. The police know | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
they are working against the clock. Surveillance and of security has | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
been stepped up at all Jewish schools and places of worship while | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
soldiers are being told not to wear uniform outside their base. The | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
identity of the government remains a mystery but police speculate they | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
are searching for a man or men with links to the far right and with | :05:15. | :05:23. | |
considerable military training. Betty Ehrenberg is the executive | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
director of the US branch of the World Jewish Congress and she joins | :05:27. | :05:33. | |
us now. This is obviously a terrible tragedy that has happened, | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
but do you see this as an anti- Semitic attack or something wider | :05:37. | :05:47. | |
:05:47. | :05:49. | ||
than that? This particular attack was an anti-Semitic attack because | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
the gunmen targeted a Jewish school. Nevertheless, as the reporter has | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
told us, when one faith with his attack, are there faith groups | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
understand quite well that they are all under attack and that is why | :06:02. | :06:10. | |
they have got together in an inter- faith session at the Notre Dame, | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
that is why Inter faith groups and meet and talk about this and try to | :06:13. | :06:19. | |
come to terms with this together because when one is under attack, | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
we are all under attack. What kind of motives would you describe to | :06:24. | :06:33. | |
the tragedy that has happened? is definitely the person who | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
perpetrated this attack is a racist, he wanted to harm innocent | :06:36. | :06:42. | |
civilians, innocent children at a school, innocent children at a | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
Jewish school, which he targeted from all the other places nearby | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
and it is definitely a message to ethnic groups of all minorities | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
that they are not safe and not secured. This tragedy is that there | :06:56. | :07:04. | |
are those who harbour heated, who harbour animosity and he work out | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
their problems with attacks and violence rather than trying to come | :07:07. | :07:13. | |
to terms to live together in peace with others. The World Jewish | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
Congress monitors these kinds of hate crimes. Just give us the | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
context of how this fits into the wider picture? Are they on the | :07:22. | :07:28. | |
increase? We monitor these kinds of attacks all over the world. We | :07:28. | :07:34. | |
unfortunately have seen an uptake in the anti-Semitic attacks and | :07:34. | :07:40. | |
anti-Christian attacks around the world, and in certain areas, anti- | :07:40. | :07:46. | |
Muslim attacks. We are seeing a radicalisation and extremists who | :07:46. | :07:52. | |
are trying to hurt other members of ethnic groups rather than try to | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
really foster an atmosphere of tolerance and working together and | :07:55. | :08:03. | |
it really pains us a great deal to see what is happening. Thank you. | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
A year ago today the NATO bombing campaign began in Libya with a | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
stated objective to protect us civilians. It was seen as the | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
turning point in the popular uprising to overthrow Colonel | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
Gaddafi but there are still questions about what is called | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
collateral damage, that is when innocent victims get killed or | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
injured. A report by Amnesty International says NATO has felt to | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
investigate why more than 50 civilians were killed in the air | :08:30. | :08:37. | |
strikes. Last March when Colonel Gaddafi's | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
tanks went on the outskirts of Benghazi, ready to crush the | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
popular uprising, NATO's bombing campaign came not a moment too soon | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
for the rebels trying to overthrow the regime. Charged by the Security | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
Council with protecting the civilian population, some accused | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
NATO of being an official her force for the rebels. Destroying hundreds | :08:59. | :09:05. | |
of Gaddafi's tanks and paving the way for the fall of Tripoli. In a | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
new report, Amnesty International says that 55 civilians were killed | :09:09. | :09:15. | |
as a result of NATO bombing, including many women and children. | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
Amnesty also accused NATO of failing to conduct investigations | :09:19. | :09:26. | |
into what it calls the forgotten victims. Most Libyans especially in | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
the eastern city of Benghazi you the NATO campaign as a success, | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
which saved thousands of civilians from Colonel Gaddafi's bench for | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
armies and celebrations are planned in some cities. Five months after | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
the death of Colonel Gaddafi, Libya is still a country in turmoil. | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
Central government is weak, there are still too many weapons on the | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
streets and more than 8,000 people from both sides are thought to | :09:53. | :10:01. | |
still be missing or disappeared. It is a year since the revolution | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
in Libya began and I have been assessing the past year with Faraj | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
Najem. A London-based Libyan writer and historian and I put it to him | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
that even though the Gaddafi era was over, Libya were still in a | :10:15. | :10:21. | |
fragile state. They have passed the electoral roll now they are going | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
for the election to elect their national assembly, but despite all | :10:25. | :10:31. | |
the teething problems, they are going. When you look at Benghazi, | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
and number of people there, influential people, say they want a | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
federation. They do not want to remain part of a Libya that remains | :10:40. | :10:48. | |
now. One thing we have to agree on his federation is not something new. | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
Libyans were the first to federate their estate and this went on to | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
1963 and then they decided to do away with this system. They want to | :10:58. | :11:04. | |
go back to it decades later and the leadership in Tripoli is not happy. | :11:04. | :11:10. | |
But people in Benghazi say this is not all bad. America is a | :11:10. | :11:19. | |
Federative country. They imitated our system. You think it is | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
inevitable that there will be a federation in Libya? I do not think | :11:25. | :11:31. | |
so but the beauty about it is there is a dynamism, a movement, a debate, | :11:31. | :11:38. | |
people are speaking loudly. What about the brother in law of Gaddafi, | :11:38. | :11:43. | |
also his former head of intelligence, just been apprehended. | :11:43. | :11:49. | |
What will happen to him? Personally I hope that he should be sent to | :11:49. | :11:56. | |
the Hague because he is not an ordinary criminal, he is an | :11:56. | :12:04. | |
international criminal. But also the crimes he committed in Libya. | :12:04. | :12:11. | |
Everybody wants him. Where will he and a Christmas he should end up in | :12:11. | :12:19. | |
the Hague. The Libyans have sent delegates to Mauritania. But I wish | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
he will go to the Hague to expose him, to find out what he has. | :12:24. | :12:30. | |
People looking at the revolutions in Tunisia and Libya saying the is | :12:30. | :12:36. | |
a mess are getting a stronger hand there. I do not think so. They are | :12:36. | :12:42. | |
not doing as good as they are in Tunisia or Egypt. Recently we saw | :12:42. | :12:51. | |
the election, the business brother had only got one seat out of 28. It | :12:51. | :12:57. | |
is an indication that the Islamists will not be special. When you look | :12:57. | :13:03. | |
at Libya a year on, what do you think? Much better than Gaddafi. | :13:03. | :13:11. | |
Much better without him. It is better. | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
A look at some of the day's other news. A judge has resigned from the | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
Khmer Rouge genocide trial. The Swiss judge, Laurent Kasper- | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
Ansermet, accused his Cambodian counterpart of blocking efforts to | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
investigate new suspects. He is the second international judge to | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
resign in six months. Italian police have arrested dozens | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
of people on suspicion of money laundering and corruption in an | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
anti-Mafia operation. 16 of those being held are judges who are | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
alleged to have taken bribes to issue financial hoardings in favour | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
of the Camorra, a crime syndicate that operates around Naples. | :13:48. | :13:53. | |
But loyal. Sergeant Robert bales, the US soldier accused of killing | :13:53. | :13:58. | |
16 Afghan civilians, says meeting his client in person was man of the | :13:58. | :14:03. | |
most emotional meetings of his life. John Henry Brown held talks with | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
the soldier who is being held in isolation after being flown back | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
from Afghanistan. Fabrice Muamba is showing small | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
signs of improvement in a London hospital. He has been held there | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
after collapsing on the pitch during an FA Cup tie on Saturday. | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
The player's heart stopped and did not resent beating on his own fog | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
Fresh fighting between pro and anti government forces in Syria have | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
been taking place in the capital, Damascus and Aleppo. According to | :14:32. | :14:38. | |
Syrian state TV, four people were killed in clashes today. The | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
violence in Damascus took place in the wealthy al-Mezze district of | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
the city. This comes at a time when the International Committee of the | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
Red Cross says it's making progress in negotiations with Russia on | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
securing its support for getting humanitarian aid into the needy | :14:50. | :14:55. | |
civilians caught up in the conflict in Syria. Jon Donnison reports. The | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
aftermath of what witnesses say was a major gun battle in the early | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
hours of this morning. In an upmarket neighbourhood of Damascus. | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
Opposition groups say rebel fighters from the three Serie army | :15:07. | :15:11. | |
was trying to attack a house belonging to a senior figure in the | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
Syrian military. Often there was then apparently a firefight, a | :15:15. | :15:21. | |
security force at, trying to force them from the apartment they were | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
hiding. Several fighters were killed including at least one | :15:25. | :15:30. | |
security officer. This is the most serious fighting of this kind so | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
close to the centre of power. It comes after three bomb attacks over | :15:35. | :15:45. | |
:15:45. | :15:48. | ||
the weekend, two in Damascus and one in Syria's second city. Anti- | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
government activists accuse the Syrian leadership of staging the | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
explosions. There is a mass popular uprising in Syria. But there was | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
also an armed insurgency. Meanwhile, after a visit to Moscow by the head | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
of the International Red Cross, Russia and the aid agency are | :16:05. | :16:11. | |
urging the Syrian government and its opponents to agree without | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
delay today the humanitarian ceasefires. Clearly, one of | :16:14. | :16:21. | |
priority is to cease humanitarian ceasefire, and explain to him it | :16:21. | :16:27. | |
has become more urgent because if it cannot be done, we have more | :16:27. | :16:32. | |
intense fighting and no access to evacuate wounded citizens. The idea | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
is to start with two hour ceasefire is a date when our aid workers in | :16:37. | :16:43. | |
and the injured out. But such windows are rare. Opposition groups | :16:43. | :16:49. | |
release video showing what they say was more government shelling. There | :16:49. | :16:56. | |
was also violence reported in the north. And in the east. It comes as | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
a small team are working for the international envoy to Syria, Kofi | :17:00. | :17:06. | |
a man, visited her to look at setting up a team of observers. As | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
things stand, they will have their work cut out. | :17:10. | :17:12. | |
An investigation by the BBC's Panorama programme has found that a | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
fifth of young British Asians think that if a woman's behaviour brings | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
what they regard as dishonour upon her family, she deserves to be | :17:18. | :17:27. | |
punished physically. The kind of behaviour we're talking about | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
includes girls and young women disobeying their father, going out | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
in the evening unaccompanied and wanting to leave a marriage. Jane | :17:32. | :17:42. | |

This national helpline is for women being threatened and suffering | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
domestic violence are because of honour. In the four years since it | :17:50. | :17:56. | |
was set up, calls to the service had doubled. We don't know the true | :17:56. | :18:01. | |
figure. Anything between 10 and 12 on the killings a year in this | :18:01. | :18:06. | |
country. I don't know how many other unmarked graves they are in | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
this green and pleasant land and that suggests to me we are | :18:10. | :18:16. | |
underestimating the issue. Qawal came to this country from Pakistan | :18:16. | :18:21. | |
but was abused by her husband and his family. | :18:21. | :18:26. | |
TRANSLATION: My mother in law hit me so hard in the face that a blood | :18:26. | :18:31. | |
poured from my ear. Once I was locked upstairs for 13 days and I | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
thought, the only way I will get out is through the window or by | :18:34. | :18:41. | |
killing myself. In a poll, 69% of young British Asians agreed | :18:41. | :18:47. | |
families should live according to honour. At first, only 6% said it | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
was right to physically punish a woman who brings dishonour on her | :18:50. | :18:57. | |
family. But that went up to 18%, nearly one in five, when it | :18:57. | :19:02. | |
presented with a specific list. Disobeying a father, marrying | :19:02. | :19:08. | |
someone unacceptable or wanting to end a marriage. Jasvinder Sanghera, | :19:08. | :19:13. | |
a British-born Sikh, set up a helpline. I have yet to see | :19:13. | :19:17. | |
community leaders, religious leaders, Asian councillors, | :19:17. | :19:21. | |
politicians, give real leadership on this. They know this is | :19:21. | :19:25. | |
happening and, to know that a significant abuse in your community | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
is happening, and not demonstrate real leadership on this is | :19:30. | :19:36. | |
extremely irresponsible. Many experts argue the root cause of on | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
the crime lies in the forced marriage and the government is | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
considering making it a criminal offence. But there are worries that | :19:43. | :19:48. | |
more needs to be done within certain communities to change | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
attitudes and protector of vulnerable women. | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
To talk some more about this, we're joined by Ayesha Gill, a board | :19:55. | :19:58. | |
member of End Violence Against Women Coalition who has also | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
advised the police on gendered forms of violence against women in | :20:01. | :20:08. | |
the UK. Just put this survey into context for us. One-fifth say it's | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
all right for women to be punished that way but is that an | :20:12. | :20:19. | |
improvement? We don't really know. It suggested it was compared to | :20:19. | :20:25. | |
SURVEY conducted in August 2006, where one in 10 young people of a | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
similar age suggest that it was acceptable to use violence where | :20:29. | :20:35. | |
women had transgressed from honour codes. It would suggest it has gone | :20:35. | :20:44. | |
up? Yes, that's right, but my concern would be to look at the | :20:44. | :20:46. | |
methodology behind the percentages in terms of geographical location, | :20:46. | :20:52. | |
social class, social economic backgrounds, geography. And | :20:52. | :20:59. | |
migration experience. They may play a part in the currency or reference | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
to the value of so-called honour in communities where violence may be | :21:03. | :21:09. | |
prevalent. Is there something which transcends social class, economic | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
status? Do you tend to find it lower down in the socio-economic | :21:13. | :21:20. | |
groups? It cuts across the classes, religion, social groups, and it's | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
important we recognise this a form of violence against women and girls | :21:24. | :21:30. | |
do not only occur in South Asian it unities but also in Gypsy and | :21:30. | :21:34. | |
travelling communities, so the notion on is not subbing specific | :21:34. | :21:41. | |
to South Asian communities. How do you combat it? Better education? | :21:41. | :21:47. | |
The committee has got to stand up and speak. There has to be public | :21:47. | :21:55. | |
awareness. Better integration of education awareness in that schools. | :21:55. | :22:02. | |
And colleges. But also, work within committees as well in recognising | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
particular forms of violence against women, challenging those | :22:05. | :22:10. | |
notions of acceptability that motions Clapham of honour, forced | :22:10. | :22:18. | |
marriage, -- thought of honour. So young people can then be empowered | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
and challenge those attitudes within those communities so | :22:22. | :22:27. | |
violence will not be so prevalent. Sadly, for those women who were | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
experienced violence, what about the resources and facilities to | :22:31. | :22:38. | |
help them? There's a lot to do, it's a postcode lottery in terms of | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
specialist services, and services are being cut by the recession and | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
a credit crunch, and there is not enough investment so my plea to the | :22:45. | :22:50. | |
Prime Minister would be to invest in a specialist services in terms | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
of protection so that women and girls can be safe to exit violent | :22:55. | :23:00. | |
relationships if they need to. is sadly a global problem, too, so | :23:00. | :23:06. | |
all governments. Estate accountability and due diligence. | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
Thank you for talking to us. Politicians and people in both the | :23:09. | :23:12. | |
Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland have come a long way in | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
bridging their differences since the height of the conflict in | :23:15. | :23:19. | |
Northern Ireland. Behind the scenes, work is under way to determine | :23:20. | :23:22. | |
whether a truth and reconciliation process like the one in South | :23:22. | :23:24. | |
Africa would be possible. Our Special Correspondent Fergal Keane | :23:25. | :23:30. | |
has been given exclusive access to a unique experiment. | :23:30. | :23:33. | |
In a place once traumatised by political violence, an | :23:33. | :23:40. | |
extraordinary group has come together. Here, a former senior IRA | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
man chatting to a police officer, his organisation once wanted to | :23:44. | :23:52. | |
kill. This man is a top policemen from the Irish Republic. Sitting | :23:52. | :23:58. | |
near him, a former loyalist prisoner. It's very easy to be | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
angry with people you don't know but when you get in touch with the | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
person's humanity and you get to know them as a person, history | :24:05. | :24:10. | |
shows that everything is possible. They have come here from a place | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
with a political settlement but with still bitter divisions over | :24:13. | :24:23. | |
:24:23. | :24:24. | ||
Here they met witnesses from the Truth and Reconciliation Committee. | :24:24. | :24:31. | |
What is a victim? Who was a victim? A victim is someone who was | :24:31. | :24:39. | |
violated. South Africa's truth commission named names, and was | :24:39. | :24:46. | |
emotionally highly charged. There is no consensus for anything like | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
this in Ireland but from one influential figure, agreement, some | :24:51. | :24:56. | |
truth process is needed. Could you see, as a Republican, the IRA | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
taking part in some kind of truth commission? Very much so, yes, I | :25:00. | :25:08. | |
could. Even if it meant same painful truths. It's about conflict, | :25:08. | :25:12. | |
you know, and conflict, at the end of the day, it's about killing | :25:12. | :25:20. | |
people and stuff like that. It's very painful things. But the devil | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
is in the detail. No group wants to see its members publicly named and | :25:24. | :25:29. | |
blamed. And there are strong political opposition to public | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
inquiries and amnesties for those who inflicted violence. Compromise | :25:33. | :25:40. | |
is only half the story. It means discussions like this are tentative. | :25:40. | :25:45. | |
Part of a much longer process aimed at creating trust and, for the | :25:45. | :25:50. | |
first time in Irish history, the possibility of a shared memory. | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
course it is contentious, the blame game. But if people could create | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
the Good Friday and Belfast Agreement, they can come up with a | :25:58. | :26:03. | |
way of getting past this. Then the island jail, where Nelson Mandela | :26:03. | :26:10. | |
and others were imprisoned. Here, the prison cells where men spent | :26:10. | :26:16. | |
decades of their lives. Yet emerged, with a message of reconciliation. | :26:16. | :26:21. | |
This is a brave journey, old enemies here working together to | :26:21. | :26:26. | |
try and find an answer. A question which divides politicians and | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
confound governments. How old do you answer the demand from the | :26:30. | :26:35. | |
victims of violence for the truth about the past? The answer to that | :26:35. | :26:41. | |
question may be some time coming but it is central to creating an | :26:41. | :26:48. | |
enduring peace. Truth and reconciliation. | :26:48. | :26:51. | |
A reminder of our main news. There are growing suspicions in | :26:51. | :26:54. | |
France that the same man was behind the murders at a Jewish school | :26:54. | :26:57. | |
today and two previous incidents, in and around Toulouse. It's now | :26:57. | :27:00. | |
been revealed that the same weapon was used each time. And also the | :27:00. | :27:03. | |
same black scooter, a stolen Yamaha on which the killer escaped. | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
Today's killing of one teacher and three children follows that of | :27:06. | :27:16. | |
:27:16. | :27:30. | ||
three soldiers last week. That is Hello there. This week's weather is | :27:30. | :27:35. | |
dominated by high pressure so no signs of the rain where we do need | :27:35. | :27:39. | |
it. Tomorrow, there will be more cloud around, a great start across | :27:39. | :27:45. | |
much of the country but, with that cloud not as cold, you can see the | :27:45. | :27:48. | |
high pressure does building to the south, pushing these weather fronts | :27:48. | :27:52. | |
back northwards through the day on Tuesday, so although there could be | :27:52. | :27:54. | |
light rain and drizzle in the north-west for the morning, by the | :27:54. | :27:58. | |
afternoon, it starts to fade away. In the afternoon, we develop some | :27:58. | :28:01. | |
bricks and the cloud in northern areas of England with temperatures | :28:01. | :28:05. | |
of 13-14 degrees. Another dry day across the south-east corner, | :28:05. | :28:09. | |
slightly more cloud around for tomorrow but, having said that, we | :28:09. | :28:14. | |
will see those temperatures rising to 14 Celsius. More overcast across | :28:14. | :28:18. | |
south-west England with a top temperature of 13 Celsius. A south- | :28:18. | :28:21. | |
westerly breeze for the afternoon bringing more cloud across west | :28:21. | :28:25. | |
Wales, in land and the cloud will break up and some sunshine will be | :28:25. | :28:30. | |
around. The afternoon, Northern Ireland, more brightness, and | :28:30. | :28:34. | |
temperatures of 13-14. Still keeping thick cloud for western | :28:34. | :28:38. | |
Scotland but it should be bright for the afternoon and, with that | :28:38. | :28:42. |
