This is BBC World News Today, with me, Philippa Thomas. A bold message | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
from America's Joe Biden to China, on its own soil. Challenge the | :00:09. | :00:19. | |
government, challenge your teachers, challenge religious leaders. | :00:20. | :00:26. | |
The US vice-president is there to help ease regional tensions - but | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
how would THAT advice to China's people go down with the Beijing | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
authorities? Assassination in Lebanon - A senior Hezbollah | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
commander is shot dead outside his home. | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
Israel denies involvement. Who else could have been behind the attack? | :00:38. | :00:43. | |
Also coming up: Celebrity chef Nigella Lawson tells a court that | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
she's taken cocaine, but she denies being an addict. | :00:48. | :00:49. | |
And extraordinary images of abandoned glory - how two | :00:50. | :00:51. | |
photographers, who call themselves urban explorers, capture images by | :00:52. | :00:53. | |
trespass. Hello and welcome. | :00:54. | :01:12. | |
The US Vice-President Joe Biden has begun a trip to China by encouraging | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
people to "challenge the government". He told an audience in | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
Beijing that children in America are rewarded, not punished, for | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
challenging the status quo. Interesting remarks at a time when | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
Mr Biden is attempting to smooth tensions between China and its | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
neighbours over Beijing's newly declared air defence zone over the | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
East China Sea. Our Beijing correspondent Damian Grammaticus has | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
this special report on what is at stake. | :01:38. | :01:47. | |
In Asia, a rising China is asserting itself. And America is responding. | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
Red lines are being tested by Beijing. In some have suggested the | :01:54. | :02:00. | |
US weekend economic Lee is in decline. -- weekend. America remains | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
the sole superpower. Joe Biden's first stop was to meet the many | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
Chinese hoping to get US frees us. Challenge the government, challenge | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
your teachers, challenge religious leaders. Letting China's altering | :02:17. | :02:26. | |
the status quo in Asia is not something America will let happen. | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
You are candid and construct of, developing this new relationship, | :02:32. | :02:38. | |
both qualities are sorely needed. China's leaders in bold by economic | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
strength at adopting and more nationalistic tone. This is the | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
issue they have chosen, these islands controlled by Japan and | :02:49. | :02:56. | |
claimed by China. For months, China has been sending ships to probe | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
Japan's resolve, flexing the new naval forces it is building. The | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
islands lie far to the south-west of Japan. For decades it has had an ear | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
defence own covering the area. In the last week China announced its | :03:11. | :03:20. | |
own is own overlapping Japan's. Ignoring China's move, America said | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
-- sent unarmed bombers through the zone. Unwilling to lose face, China | :03:28. | :03:35. | |
responded by scrambling fighters. The risk of a midair collision | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
rising. America is concerned about growing pattern of behaviour by | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
China which is stirring up tensions in Asia. One small incident over | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
these disputed islands could trigger a far wider crisis drawing in chain | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
on the one side and America on the other. -- China. China says other | :03:55. | :04:01. | |
nations have their defence also it should have one as well. | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
Why has China decided to take this action now? TRANSLATION: It is a | :04:05. | :04:17. | |
zone for protection. Japan is the one that is Bass -- dispatched | :04:18. | :04:24. | |
planes and ships. That is jewel Biden's problem. -- Joe Biden's. | :04:25. | :04:32. | |
What is happened is warning, disputes over in Ireland you have | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
never heard of could lead America, Japan and China into a difficult | :04:39. | :04:47. | |
situation. A Hezbollah commander has been killed outside his home in | :04:48. | :04:49. | |
Lebanon. The group said Hassan al-Lakkis was | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
assassinated as he returned from work late last night. The Islamist | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
group blamed Israel, which says it wasn't involved. Our correspondent | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
in Beirut Jim Muir sent this report from the scene of the killing. | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
Celebrated in death, virtually unknown publicly through this life. | :05:05. | :05:11. | |
The funeral of Hassan al-Lakkis drew a huge crowd of supporters. He has | :05:12. | :05:19. | |
been a major threat to -- person in the campaign. He had been with the | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
movement from the beginning and was with -- one of the leaders. This is | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
where he died, a very ordinary, quiet residential area. He was | :05:31. | :05:37. | |
getting out of his car in the night when he was shot at close range in | :05:38. | :05:45. | |
the head. Hezbollah immediately accused Israel of carrying out the | :05:46. | :05:47. | |
killing, something the Israelis immediately denied. In past cases | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
where Israel is believed to have carried out assassinations like | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
this, their policy has been to say nothing at all, and there have been | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
plenty of cases like that. Israel has never denied it had a hand in | :06:01. | :06:07. | |
this man's assassination. He was killed by a car bomb explosion in | :06:08. | :06:14. | |
2008. Some reports said Hassan al-Lakkis worked with them. The | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
Israelis also admit the Hannah -- Helen Garner -- helicopter gunships | :06:18. | :06:25. | |
also killed as man. His successor very rarely appears in public for | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
that reason. In recent months he has admitted his fighters are actively | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
engaged in now or in Syria, alongside regime forces battling | :06:34. | :06:50. | |
rebels Sony --. Israeli leaders are putting the death of Hassan | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
al-Lakkis in that context, while Hezbollah, Syria and Iran insisted | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
it was Israel. The full truth may never be known. For Hezbollah, | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
Hassan al-Lakkis is yet another martyr, a man who already give one | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
of his own sons who died in the war with Israel in 2006. | :07:10. | :07:19. | |
Should you as a member of the public get more advice about the pitfalls | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
of chatting about criminal cases on social media? | :07:23. | :07:24. | |
Yes according to the British government's chief legal adviser, | :07:25. | :07:26. | |
the Attorney General Dominic Grieve. He's said today that blogs and sites | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
like Twitter and Facebook allow casual comments to be seen by | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
thousands of people, with the risk that trials can be prejudiced. So | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
his department is to start publishing advice, not just to | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
journalists covering the cases, but also to the general public. | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
With me is the media lawyer Dan Hyde. First, do you think the | :07:45. | :07:54. | |
Department is ahead of other countries and Jude restriction in | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
giving this advice? It is a unique approach. -- Jude restriction. -- | :08:00. | :08:21. | |
jurisdiction. Twitter is getting popular, cases of prejudice at as | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
well? I think there is a couple of reasons. It it is laudable, it is | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
trying to inform people so that rather than typing something out, | :08:33. | :08:40. | |
they have some idea that they may be stepping over the line and could be | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
having an impact. If the content is unlawful, there could be | :08:46. | :08:53. | |
consequences. Twitter is seen as something as a stream or Facebook | :08:54. | :09:01. | |
like other social media sites. If you treat or publish something that | :09:02. | :09:09. | |
seriously peeps or -- impedes or affects a trial, you are caught by | :09:10. | :09:17. | |
that. From that perspective it has to be a good thing. My concern would | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
be two things, one will it make a massive difference? If something | :09:23. | :09:37. | |
is... If someone is charged with contempt and they go to court, if | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
they plead ignorance, they may be told this information is readily | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
available, you could have got it from the Twitter feeds. I wonder. We | :09:45. | :09:52. | |
will see what impact it has. But it is done with the best of intentions, | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
let's say. Well-meaning, innovative but we will wait and see. The | :09:59. | :10:04. | |
celebrity chef Nigella Lawson has admitted in court that she has taken | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
cocaine, but denied being an addict. She said it happened during very | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
difficult times, when her first husband was dying, and when - as she | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
describes it - she was under great pressure from her second husband, | :10:16. | :10:17. | |
the multi-millionaire art collector Charles Saatchi. Nigella Lawson was | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
giving evidence in the fraud trial of two of her personal assistants. | :10:21. | :10:30. | |
Sangita Myska reports. Nigella Lawson today looked | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
confident as she walked past a frenzied media scrum. She was at | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
court to face tough questions about the breakdown of her marriage to | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
Charles Saatchi and he claims that she was a habitual drug user. She | :10:43. | :10:44. | |
told the court... She also talked about smoking | :10:45. | :10:57. | |
cannabis during her marriage to Mr Saatchi. | :10:58. | :11:09. | |
Nigella Lawson and ex-husband Charles Saatchi, a multimillionaire | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
at collector, were often photographed it in public. Then in | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
the summer, these photographs were published in which Mr Saatchi had us | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
and around Miss Lawson's neck. The couple divorced shortly afterwards. | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
In court, Miss Lawson alleged Mr Saatchi had threatened her by | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
saying, if you don't come back to me and clear my name, I will destroy | :11:34. | :11:40. | |
you buy, she said, spreading false allegations of drug use. She | :11:41. | :11:42. | |
finished by saying... Nigella Lawson is one of Britain's | :11:43. | :11:52. | |
most celebrated television looks. Today she is giving evidence in the | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
trial of two of the couple's former personal assistant is, Elizabeth and | :11:57. | :12:03. | |
Francesca Grillo at accused of dishonestly spending over half ?1 | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
million on a company credit card. It was here that at the family home | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
that Nigella Lawson and Charles Saatchi formed a close relationship | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
with the Grillo sisters. The women were in charge of household duties, | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
including organising the laundry and looking after the children. It is | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
here that the claim that they came to a tacit understanding with | :12:26. | :12:27. | |
Nigella Lawson that they could spend thousands of pounds on the company | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
credit card if they did not reveal her alleged use of class a and Class | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
B drugs to Mr Saatchi. The jury heard that Miss Lawson gave the | :12:37. | :12:42. | |
Grillos thousands of pounds worth of guests and I felt let down by | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
Elizabeth Avenue. I love her. My children love her. She came to me at | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
a difficult time, she was a rock full top I would have done anything | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
for her. She earlier told the court that she felt it was her that was | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
now on trial when the world's media. Her former personal assistant is | :13:02. | :13:08. | |
denied the charges. Moving onto the central African | :13:09. | :13:23. | |
republic. The violence gripping the Central African Republic is getting | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
worse. Fighters from the mainly-Muslim Seleka group are being | :13:27. | :13:29. | |
blamed for a series of attacks on the Christian majority. The | :13:30. | :13:40. | |
sectarian and sexual violence gripping the Central African | :13:41. | :13:43. | |
Republic is now the worst it's ever been. Fighters from the | :13:44. | :13:45. | |
mainly-Muslim Seleka group are being blamed for a series of attacks on | :13:46. | :13:55. | |
the Christian majority. French and US officials have warned that a | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
genocide could be in the making. Since the rebels overthrew the | :13:59. | :14:01. | |
president in March around 400,000 people have fled their homes in | :14:02. | :14:03. | |
fear. Our Africa Correspondent Andrew Harding has been to meet some | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
of them. The silence is hunting. The eerie sense of a nation in hiding. | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
Finally we spot three nervous ghostlike figures. On the right, | :14:11. | :14:18. | |
this boy said we thought you were the rebels. He says his family of | :14:19. | :14:25. | |
six kids and the rest of the village are hiding out here in the villages, | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
too scared to come out towards the road. We are going to see them now. | :14:29. | :14:35. | |
As word spreads, others cautiously approach us. Months of conflict in | :14:36. | :14:42. | |
the Central African Republic have forced perhaps 400,000 people to run | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
for their lives. They are stranded, increasingly desperate and far from | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
help. Disease killed this woman's youngest daughter last week. We live | :14:53. | :15:04. | |
like animals here, says the local teacher, no clean water, no food. | :15:05. | :15:11. | |
Back on the road, and far to the south, we run into the team-macro | :15:12. | :15:24. | |
rebels. -- Seleka. They are mostly Muslim, some foreign. They are | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
rebellion has collapsed into a murderous free for all. Now, it | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
seems, no one is in charge. And the violence is surging. | :15:34. | :15:41. | |
Suddenly, we stumble across the latest bloodshed. | :15:42. | :15:51. | |
They bring out their dead. Seleka fighters attacked a few hours ago a | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
young Christian farmer, one of five killed here, religion now fuelling | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
the violence. The international community, the French, must protect | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
us, he says. The Muslims are terrorising us. | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
And now the Christians are hitting back. Nearby, we meet members of | :16:12. | :16:19. | |
self defence militia. The weapons are home made. The desire for | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
vengeance, growing. These groups have already carried out brutal | :16:25. | :16:32. | |
reprise all is against Muslims. -- reprisals. In the middle of the | :16:33. | :16:38. | |
mayhem, streetsmart children find sanctuary in a church compound in | :16:39. | :16:44. | |
this town. He ran from his village when the Seleka came last month and | :16:45. | :16:49. | |
left him as an orphan. 40,000 people have now joined him | :16:50. | :16:51. | |
here. He fights back the tears. They killed my father, he says, and | :16:52. | :17:07. | |
took his body. I don't know what will happen to me now. | :17:08. | :17:18. | |
It is fear that is trapping tens of thousands of people in this one | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
spot, and that is not going to change until people are sure it is | :17:24. | :17:29. | |
safe to go home. But French and African forces are poised to arrive | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
here in the next week or so, and things could change, could improve | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
quite quickly. What can they protect everyone? And for how long? This is | :17:37. | :17:44. | |
a chronically unstable nation. All trust, absent, the only currency | :17:45. | :17:50. | |
that counts is fear. And things have never been this bad. Andrew | :17:51. | :17:55. | |
Harding, BBC News in the Central African Republic. | :17:56. | :18:00. | |
Now a brief look at some of the day's other news. New research | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
suggests up to 30,000 Eritreans have been ten -- kidnapped and tortured | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
in the signing -- Sinai Desert. The report, compiled by a team of | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
academics and activists from Sweden and the Netherlands accuses senior | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
military officers of kidnapping people and selling them to human | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
traffickers. The ailing former South African President North and Mandela | :18:26. | :18:28. | |
is continuing to put up a courageous fight, according to one of his | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
daughters. She said her father remained strong. | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
He has been receiving medical care at home since been discharged from | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
hospital in September. Ukraine's three previous post Soviet | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
residents have issued a statement giving support to anti-government | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
protesters on the freezing streets of Kiev now for the 14th night on a | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
roll. Tens of thousands have suffered -- surrendered government | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
buildings in the capital angry at the government's decision not to | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
sign an association deal with the EU. In what is thought to be a legal | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
first, a US animal rights group is calling on you -- New York court to | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
recognise a chimpanzee as a legal person. | :19:12. | :19:13. | |
It wants a chimp named Tommy to be granted what is known as legal | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
personhood, so that he can be entitled to what is entitled as the | :19:19. | :19:24. | |
-- described as the fundamental right of bodily liberty. With me is | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
the founder and chairman of The Ape Alliance, an international coalition | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
working for the welfare of apes. Ian Redmond, would you say you | :19:35. | :19:37. | |
recognise this description of chimpanzees as people, as beings | :19:38. | :19:43. | |
that you could regard as friends? Definitely, yes. Anyone who has had | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
the good fortune to get to know great apes will see there is no | :19:48. | :19:53. | |
question of it. They have the cognitive capacity to know who they | :19:54. | :20:00. | |
themselves are. Give a chimpanzee and within a short time you will | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
have self-directed behaviour, looking to see parts of their face | :20:04. | :20:09. | |
they don't normally see. -- give a chimpanzee a mirror. I think there | :20:10. | :20:15. | |
is a selective advantage in being able to understand your position in | :20:16. | :20:21. | |
society, and it strikes me that our laws developed in countries where | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
there are not great apes. We have exported those laws to countries | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
where there are, but if you look at tradition in African countries come | :20:32. | :20:34. | |
in Rwanda where I spent a lot of time, they have a word for wildlife, | :20:35. | :20:40. | |
a word for people and a word for gorillas. Gorillas are not | :20:41. | :20:43. | |
categorised amongst wildlife. They are seen as other tribes? | :20:44. | :20:49. | |
Almost as another tribe. The translation of orangutan is | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
usually translated as man of the forest but it is actually person of | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
the forest. What would it mean to give this status to them? | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
At the moment they have the same legal standing as a check, or any | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
object, you can buy them or own them do not whatever you like with them, | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
apart from cruelty. But cruelty laws do not keep them | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
from being kept on their own like Tommy is in inadequate enclosures | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
and without the company of other chimpanzees. I would say, yes, open | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
-- we cannot see open all the cages, but care for them as you would any | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
other being with special care. What is your answer to churches who say | :21:29. | :21:35. | |
thinking of giving them this legal distinction somehow produces the | :21:36. | :21:38. | |
link between man and God. If you believe that God created | :21:39. | :21:42. | |
everything, then he created chimpanzees. | :21:43. | :21:45. | |
I don't think God would approve of us torturing them or treating them | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
in this terrible way. Respecting them, their intelligence and social | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
complexity, I think it is difficult to do that and not give them legal | :21:55. | :21:57. | |
standing other than an object. They are not objects, they are persons, | :21:58. | :22:05. | |
non-human beings. We are not asking for human rights, but recognising | :22:06. | :22:07. | |
that beings who may not be human have many of the criteria we think | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
are important and deserve our respect. Why not have legislation | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
that makes that more likely to follow? | :22:16. | :22:21. | |
Ian Redmond of The Ape Alliance, thank you for speaking us. | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
-- to us. When we think of photographs, they are not usually | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
images of buildings abandoned, unloved and decaying, but two | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
photographers who call themselves urban explorers are fascinated by | :22:35. | :22:39. | |
what we tend to pass by. Daniel Marbaix and Danny Barter have | :22:40. | :22:42. | |
published a book, States of Decay, based on their travels of the US, | :22:43. | :22:45. | |
and they have often roamed the UK and Europe often getting arrested | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
for trespassing. I have brought them together in one of the BBC's big | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
screens asking Danny to guide us through one of the images. Tell us | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
where you are. This is an underground of it Dorian | :22:59. | :23:01. | |
Reservoir in London. It has featured in some quite | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
prominent TV shows and films, but people will be able to figure that | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
out. It is a beautiful piece of Victorian architecture I painted | :23:11. | :23:17. | |
with light. You have had to like it and I again I suppose you were not | :23:18. | :23:20. | |
intending to be there. No, we were not intending to be | :23:21. | :23:23. | |
there. There were a few of us and it | :23:24. | :23:26. | |
involves putting on your wellingtons and going underground until you find | :23:27. | :23:32. | |
something you want to see. Daniel, this was an old manor house | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
in the UK and you are looking at decay, crumbling before us. What | :23:37. | :23:39. | |
keeps you going into these kinds of situations? Weekend of do it for the | :23:40. | :23:45. | |
thrill of it, really. We almost started doing it for fun, | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
really. You start one building, and then you go repeatedly and meet | :23:51. | :23:53. | |
other people and meet up with them and going to other places. You call | :23:54. | :23:57. | |
yourselves urban explorers. What do you mean? | :23:58. | :24:04. | |
It basically means you are exploring the environment available to you, so | :24:05. | :24:07. | |
it may be the rooftops of the cities, it may be sewers, it may be | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
abandoned buildings. This is an image that you took Danny in | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
Pennsylvania. These are workers who is from a call | :24:16. | :24:20. | |
break that had been sitting there for about 40 years. | :24:21. | :24:24. | |
You can find the documentation talking about their daily routine. | :24:25. | :24:35. | |
Four. -- coal-breakers. There is an element of looking into | :24:36. | :24:38. | |
the past and it is interactive and of the things that have been left | :24:39. | :24:41. | |
behind, the small stories kept within these places. | :24:42. | :24:47. | |
Tell me, Dan, about the differences between shooting in the US and in | :24:48. | :24:51. | |
Europe. Certainly regarding the law it is different, isn't it? | :24:52. | :24:56. | |
Yes, in the majority of Europe, trespassing is a civil offence so | :24:57. | :24:59. | |
the older -- one of the building would have to press charges. The | :25:00. | :25:03. | |
buildings are abandoned so there is no one to do that, whereas in | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
America it is a criminal offence, so you can get time in county jail, | :25:08. | :25:10. | |
fairly significant time, and deported. It is obviously important | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
to you to get these images. Here we are looking at an American | :25:16. | :25:19. | |
church, a flag, an altar, but you can see the decay. This was the | :25:20. | :25:25. | |
cover of the same book and it is a little bit of a metaphor on American | :25:26. | :25:29. | |
society and the place religion has come to having it, opposed to them | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
as an industrial powerhouse, I suppose. | :25:36. | :25:37. | |
It has a lot of stories to tell, some of those should be left to | :25:38. | :25:41. | |
other people to figure out. This final image says, I had to leave my | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
mark somewhere. This is really poignant, but also | :25:47. | :25:50. | |
what you are doing, I guess. Yes, I saw it and it kind of made me smile. | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
It was never intended to go into the book but it came out nicely with the | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
decay around it. And is your work all about getting | :26:00. | :26:02. | |
people to look again at what they have left behind? It is just showing | :26:03. | :26:06. | |
the beautiful buildings that have been left to crumble, cause of | :26:07. | :26:09. | |
money, generally. It is more expensive to refurbish | :26:10. | :26:14. | |
the building than to knock it down and build a new one. Daniel Marbaix | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
and Danny Barter speaking to me earlier. | :26:19. | :26:22. | |
Just a reminder of the main news. US Vice President Joe burden is on a | :26:23. | :26:26. | |
visit to Beijing hoping to ease tensions over China's controversial | :26:27. | :26:32. | |
ear space identification zone. It has heightened tensions between | :26:33. | :26:36. | |
the US and Japan over who owns a group of islands in the East China | :26:37. | :26:40. | |
Sea. Thank you for being with us on World News Today. | :26:41. | :26:54. | |
Good evening. It is that time of the year when we get occasionally | :26:55. | :27:02. | |
battered by big storms and there is one heading our way tomorrow. The | :27:03. | :27:08. | |
main problem will be the strength of the wind, pointing the Met Office | :27:09. | :27:09. |
