This is BBC World News Today with me, Zeinab Badawi. | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
King Juan Carlos of Spain announces he will abdicate, after | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
The King says a new generation has to be at the forefront. | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
His son, Crown Prince Felipe, is to become the new king. | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
Spain's ambassador in London tells us there is much to | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
It's a challenge for the future, and for the splendid new king, | :00:24. | :00:29. | |
Felipe VI. He has been the key figure | :00:30. | :00:32. | |

King Juan Carlos is to abdicate in favour of his son Prince Felipe | :01:16. | :01:23. | |
King Juan Carlos' reign ushered democracy into Spain but | :01:24. | :01:30. | |
in recent years the monarchy has been battered by | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
royal scandals, including corruption allegations against his son-in-law. | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
The King has spoken to the Spanish people saying it's time | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
for a younger, energised generation to take the country forward. | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
A message from the King to the people of Spain. | :01:45. | :01:52. | |
King Juan Carlos telling them he was abdicating to make way for his son. | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
TRANSLATION: Today, a new generation must lead. | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
Younger people with more energy, determined to push through with | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
the reforms we need and to face our future challenges. | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
I've only ever wanted to contribute to the welfare | :02:10. | :02:11. | |
This was the key moment of Juan Carlos's reign. | :02:12. | :02:19. | |
1981, and members of the Spanish armed forces seize control | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
They're hoping to revive the authoritarianism of the late | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
But the young King spoke up for democracy and they were defeated. | :02:30. | :02:36. | |
I wasn't afraid for Spain, because I knew what the rest, | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
and what the whole majority of the armed forces and the people | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
in general wanted, and really needed for me to do that night. | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
After the 2004 Madrid bombings, the Royal family visited survivors | :02:50. | :03:02. | |
in hospital. He was seen as a man for the people. | :03:03. | :03:11. | |
His youngest daughter, Princess Cristina, | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
caught up in a corruption scandal and the King himself criticised | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
in 2012 after a lavish elephant hunt in Botswana as Spaniards faced the | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
All that damage, as much as failing health, may have played | :03:21. | :03:28. | |
a role in Juan Carlos's decision to hand the crown to his son Felipe. | :03:29. | :03:36. | |
And the new royal generation now under pressure to restore | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
Well, demonstrations have begun in parts of Spain. | :03:40. | :03:47. | |
Partly organised by Spain's left-wing parties, | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
who are calling for a referendum on whether Spain should continue | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
What are we expecting on that demonstration front? I think it will | :03:54. | :04:13. | |
be interesting to see whether we see really in large numbers on the | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
streets and night. I predict not, but I might be wrong. I think we | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
will see tens of thousands of people turn out, particularly from the left | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
or supported by the political left. Parties here in the elections | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
recently picked up 20% of the vote, so it is a significant section of | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
the population in that -- in Spain that would support a republic. | :04:37. | :04:43. | |
Republicanism is much more mainstream and potent than it was in | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
Britain. I don't think we will see hundreds of thousands on the | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
streets, that would be a game changer, that would show that people | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
are pushing for some kind of change against the institutions want | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
themselves. What are people saying in the dread about this news? A | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
short time ago, I was -- in the Madrid? I was at the ambassadors | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
palace, he said the announcement can completely by surprise. I think | :05:09. | :05:16. | |
there is a lot of surprise here. I do not think there is shock. If you | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
go back to the beginning of the year to that corruption scandal, Princess | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
Cristina, the youngest daughter of the King, had to appear in court in | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
a long-running corruption investigation, back then we met with | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
royal officials and they were keen to point out that application was | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
not an option. Why has it happened six months on? Possibly because | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
there is less speculation in the media, there has been a lull in | :05:42. | :05:48. | |
whether the King might abdicate. There has been less media pressure, | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
maybe the Royal family and the King himself think it is a better moment. | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
As the King has pointed to himself and royal officials have said this, | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
he has become less popular, his son, Prince Felipe, has become more | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
popular. There is no doubt that the Royal household hope that Felipe can | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
turn things around and stem the tide, especially of young people, | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
moving away and sporting the monarchy less in the country. -- | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
supporting the monarchy. A short time ago, I sat down with the | :06:21. | :06:27. | |
ambassador from Spain and he told us more about what's King Juan | :06:28. | :06:29. | |
Carlos's abdication would mean for his country. Yes, perhaps only a few | :06:30. | :06:36. | |
people around the King himself, and the Royal family, new the decision | :06:37. | :06:43. | |
of the King. But, perhaps, we should think that, the King was allowed | :06:44. | :06:53. | |
this decision in the last six months. He said this morning, his | :06:54. | :07:00. | |
last birthday, which I think is the 5th of January, he perhaps took the | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
decision and after that, perhaps was reflecting on that. Did the news | :07:06. | :07:12. | |
come as a shock to you personally? Yes, because in our country, Juan | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
Carlos has been a key figure in the last 40 years. In politics. Our | :07:18. | :07:24. | |
history, of recent history, he took over the power from Franco, and was | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
able to give it back to the people. And he managed to democracy, the | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
freedom, the piece, everything. I put it to you that King Juan Carlos | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
has left the monarchy in slightly less robust shape that when he came | :07:43. | :07:49. | |
to the throne in 1975. He has been able to understand, the political | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
realities are changing all over Europe and all over the world. And | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
then he was always a very wise man. I think it is the wisdom and the | :07:58. | :08:07. | |
experience, he decided to put on the front line, he decided to go out | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
because the Prince, Prince Felipe is a very well-prepared man. He is | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
young man, I think he took that decision. How far did his low | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
approval ratings, particularly compared to his son, Crown Prince | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
Felipe come influence his decision to abdicate? I think nowadays, we | :08:28. | :08:39. | |
will see, nowadays, you can take account of the main political | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
forces, the People's party and the Socialist party, they are 84% in the | :08:43. | :08:53. | |
last general election, they are supporting the King and the Crown | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
and the monarchy as the system. I think not, I think the King is | :08:59. | :09:05. | |
regulating his figure with the decision. In this time of austerity | :09:06. | :09:12. | |
for Spain, can meet country afford a monarchy? Of course, I think the | :09:13. | :09:19. | |
monarchy is a symbol of stability. And the young King, the new king, is | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
linked with the same feeling of the young of the country. I remember, | :09:25. | :09:32. | |
Prince Felipe was always asking the defence secretary about the salary | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
of the troops, the family of the military people, visiting them | :09:37. | :09:43. | |
abroad, the missions in Afghanistan or Bosnia, etc. He is a man with a | :09:44. | :09:52. | |
new feeling for the new realities. That was Spain's ambassador to | :09:53. | :09:54. | |
London talking to me short time ago. The US government has announced | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
a sweeping plan to curb climate change by cutting carbon dioxide | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
emissions from power plants It's a key part of President Obama's | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
climate change initiative and the environmental protection | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
agency says it will improve people's But many | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
in the coal industry accuse Mr Obama of waging a war on coal, and say | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
they'll fight the regulations. Aleem Maqbool reports | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
from coal country in West Virginia. The world's carbon emissions are | :10:21. | :10:27. | |
at record levels. America is one | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
of the chief culprits, burning vast amounts of coal, producing more than | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
double the amount of greenhouse gas But announced today, | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
the most significant environmental All told, in 2030, when the States | :10:37. | :10:44. | |
meet their final goals, our proposal will result in 30% less | :10:45. | :10:51. | |
carbon pollution from the power sector across the United States, | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
in comparison to 2005 levels. That is... Thank you. | :10:56. | :11:01. | |
APPLAUSE But here's the thing, | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
when they talk about cutting carbon dioxide emissions from power plants | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
like this one, there is really only one effective way to do that, | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
and that's to burn less coal. It's why many in the industry here | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
in America accuse President Obama The hills of West Virginia sit | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
on massive coal reserves, Executives from the industry here | :11:21. | :11:29. | |
say the new rules are going to have a major impact on America's | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
competitiveness on the world stage. It comes on the heels of a number | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
of initiatives and programmes from this president and from this | :11:40. | :11:47. | |
administration that has already We're dealing with | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
a very radical environmental community that would like to see | :11:53. | :12:01. | |
coal eradicated completely. In spite of America's massive | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
power needs, many environmentalists They're happy President Obama | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
is pushing through these ground-breaking rules bypassing | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
Congress, but the challenge is Now a look at some of the day's | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
other news. Hundreds of separatists in Ukraine | :12:18. | :12:27. | |
have launched an attack on a border guard camp at Luhansk, | :12:28. | :12:30. | |
in the east of the country. The border agency says five | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
militants were killed. There has also been an explosion at | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
the headquarters of the self styled Four people have been arrested in | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
France on suspicion of involvement The Interior minister, | :12:40. | :12:45. | |
Bernard Cazaneuve, said the arrests took place in the Paris | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
region and in the south of France. The announcement follows | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
the detention of a man on Sunday in connection with the killing | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
of three people at a Jewish museum Mehdi Nemmouche was said | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
by prosecutors to have spent a year in Syria, | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
apparently with jihadist fighters. At least 16 people have been killed | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
in heavy fighting in the Libyan city of Benghazi between militias and | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
forces loyal to a renegade general. A number of soldiers were killed | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
in the clashes at an army base holding troops loyal | :13:18. | :13:19. | |
to general, Khalifa Haftar. The general has been behind | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
a number of attacks on militant A new Palestinian unity government | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
has been sworn in marking a key step towards ending | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
a nine-year long rift between the mainstream Fatah Party that governs | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
the West Bank and Hamas in Gaza. Israel says it will not deal with | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
a Palestinian government backed by Hamas and the US has expressed | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
concern over the role Hamas will The new government is made up | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
of 17 independent ministers led by the current prime minister | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
Rami Hamdallah. Joining me from Washington is | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
the former foreign minister He's now with The Carnegie Endowment | :14:00. | :14:01. | |
for International Peace where he overseas research on the | :14:02. | :14:18. | |
Middle East. What will the international community want to see | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
from this new government before they give it its endorsement? I think | :14:24. | :14:30. | |
first of all it is a much-needed step to end the seven year rift. | :14:31. | :14:37. | |
Also to satisfy public opinion, which has been calling for such a | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
government for some time. We need to understand that this government is | :14:43. | :14:45. | |
not going to be entrusted with continuing negotiations. That is | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
part of the mandate given to President Abass. In real terms, this | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
is not going to affect the negotiations with Israel, which have | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
stopped anyway, or the recognition of Israel. I do not expect | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
international communities to do much. I think they will judge the | :15:06. | :15:12. | |
Government by actions and I think they will continue to deal with | :15:13. | :15:15. | |
that. In fact, President Abass is coming to Washington soon, | :15:16. | :15:21. | |
accompanied by the Prime Minister. You do not think that there will be | :15:22. | :15:24. | |
sanctioned by the American Congress against this new government? Because | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
if Hamas is there, either in the back-seat seat or FriendFeed, then | :15:30. | :15:36. | |
that would automatically trigger those sanctions. Sanctions is a | :15:37. | :15:42. | |
strong word. Congress is likely to withhold current aid to | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
Palestinians, or attempt to do so. Such an attempt would be lobbied | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
against by the administration, which has already indicated that they will | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
not prejudge the Government and we are going to see whether its | :15:55. | :15:57. | |
actions, you know, contradict the positions taken in earlier by the | :15:58. | :16:04. | |
Palestinian authority. We also, I think, need to recognise that there | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
are no real negotiations going on at the current time between | :16:10. | :16:15. | |
Palestinians and Israelis. And in my own view I think the administration | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
is more concerned with the Israeli position than stopping these | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
negotiations because of settlement activity than with the formation of | :16:26. | :16:27. | |
a government that in the end everybody recognises. No peace is | :16:28. | :16:35. | |
going to be possible without that. They will need to have some kind of | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
signal, will be not, from this government? In a phone call on that | :16:40. | :16:46. | |
Sunday, -- on Sunday, John Kerry said that they must commit to the | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
principles of nonviolence, recognition of the state of Israel | :16:52. | :16:54. | |
and acceptance with previous agreements. Will they do that? That | :16:55. | :17:01. | |
is something President Abass already commented on in his conversation | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
with John Kerry. The Palestinian authority has made it clear on a | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
number of occasions that there is no going back on agreements previously | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
signed. They recognised each other in 1993. That recognition still | :17:16. | :17:24. | |
holds, in my view. Thank you very much indeed for giving us that | :17:25. | :17:25. | |
analysis. Thank you. Five members of the Taliban, | :17:26. | :17:27. | |
including one former security adviser to its chief, have been set | :17:28. | :17:30. | |
free from Guanatanmao Bay by the US, Sergeant Bergdahl was, according | :17:31. | :17:33. | |
to the US, critically ill. Afghan President Hamid Karzai is | :17:34. | :17:40. | |
said to be furious for being left out of the loop | :17:41. | :17:43. | |
on the prisoner exchange. Republicans | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
in the US are also highly critical From a pro-Taliban news website, | :17:48. | :17:49. | |
images, it seems, of the welcoming party | :17:50. | :17:58. | |
for the Taliban detainees from and the Taliban leaders' assertion | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
that this is a victory are sure to stir the controversy in | :18:02. | :18:07. | |
the United States These are the hardest | :18:08. | :18:10. | |
of the hard-core. These are | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
the highest high risk people. And others that we have released | :18:15. | :18:16. | |
have gone back into the fight. Among the five who have been | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
in the prison since 2002 It has been pledged that they | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
won't return to the battlefield. But in Afghanistan, too, there has | :18:26. | :18:31. | |
been anger from the Government, which was not told about | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
the prisoner exchange in advance. The Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, | :18:36. | :18:38. | |
from the beginning, has been against the detention of its citizens and | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
limiting them in Guantanamo Bay, or But the recent release | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
of five Afghan citizens in exchange for an American army | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
sergeant goes against the agreement And their transfer to the | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
Qatar government was not agreed | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
upon by the Afghan government. continues to defend what it has | :19:02. | :19:04. | |
done. For some reason we took | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
a position in the 21st century, when some of her adversaries may not | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
be traditional state actors, that we would not do our utmost to | :19:14. | :19:16. | |
bring our prisoners of war home. That would break faith with | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
the American people and the men and women | :19:21. | :19:23. | |
who serve in uniform. So regardless | :19:24. | :19:25. | |
of who may be holding an American prisoner of war, we must do | :19:26. | :19:27. | |
our best to bring him or her back. As for the soldier's parents, | :19:28. | :19:32. | |
emotion is now tinged with the knowledge that they must now | :19:33. | :19:35. | |
wait before they can see I am so looking forward to seeing | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
your face after these last five | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
and a half years. And to giving you a great big hug | :19:43. | :19:45. | |

just for the BBC. It was the same in Doha, | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
where Qatar's Finance Minister was But World Cup officials might not be | :20:57. | :20:59. | |
able to avoid FIFA's chief investigator, who is conducting | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
interviews in the region this week. Newspaper claims that Qatar's former | :21:04. | :21:09. | |
FIFA vice president paid ?3 million in alleged bribes to football | :21:10. | :21:16. | |
officials to build support Qatar deny any wrongdoing but | :21:17. | :21:19. | |
at a question and answer session today, the Prime Minister reflected | :21:20. | :21:27. | |
growing concerns. There is an inquiry underway, quite | :21:28. | :21:30. | |
rightly, into what happened in terms I think we should let that inquiry | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
take place, rather than prejudge it. My memories of that bidding process | :21:36. | :21:43. | |
are, as I have said, not happy memories, in terms of the | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
way the whole thing was arranged and But let's let | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
the inquiry take place. So what now for FIFA's | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
investigation? American lawyer Michael Garcia today | :21:55. | :21:57. | |
announced he would finish interviews next week and produce his report | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
by late July. He is only investigating | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
whether individual politicians He cannot look into those who have | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
resigned or been expelled already. Therefore the chances of a revote | :22:10. | :22:16. | |
remain unlikely, unless the weight | :22:17. | :22:19. | |
of allegations continues to grow. One former FIFA adviser is | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
pessimistic. FIFA has weathered a | :22:24. | :22:26. | |
lot of scandals before now. So I think we need to work | :22:27. | :22:28. | |
on the assumption that FIFA will hunker down and delay | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
and that the chances of another vote But with the Sunday Times promising | :22:33. | :22:39. | |
more revelations in the weeks ahead, the feeling is that the doubts over | :22:40. | :22:46. | |
the 2022 World Cup An Egyptian satirist is ending his | :22:47. | :23:15. | |
programme. He has been dubbed Egypt's answer to John Stewart but | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
says the atmosphere in the country no longer allows for political | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
satire. He had come under mounting pressure for taking aim at the | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
Muslim Brotherhood and military. He says he has declined offers to | :23:29. | :23:37. | |
broadcast on non-Arab challenge channels because he said that he was | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
concerned he would be branded a traitor. | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
For years, Cubans have been risking their lives | :23:46. | :23:47. | |
Many make the journey across the shark-infested Florida strait. | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
One intrepid Cuban, Jorge Armando Martinez, | :23:52. | :23:53. | |
decided to make the dangerous crossing on his windsurfing board. | :23:54. | :23:55. | |
He's been telling the BBC how he managed to survive on just a bag | :23:56. | :23:59. | |
I am 28 years old and I came to the US on a surf board, from Cuba. | :24:00. | :24:09. | |
There was a lot of hardship there and I had to find | :24:10. | :24:15. | |
So I started to train as a windsurfer | :24:16. | :24:21. | |
I had to sell almost all my belongings. | :24:22. | :24:28. | |
I only kept my bed, my fan and windsurfing kit. | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
It was a group of us with the same idea. | :24:34. | :24:36. | |
All we had to do was train hard and get ready for the unknown. | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
We did not really know what to expect on the Florida Straits. | :24:42. | :24:47. | |
I was only carrying a bottle of water and around ten sweets. | :24:48. | :24:51. | |
The trip was supposed to take just six hours. | :24:52. | :24:56. | |
I knew I could reach speeds of up to 50 or 60kmph | :24:57. | :24:59. | |
I did not expect to have so many problems. | :25:00. | :25:06. | |
After four days at sea, I began to get used to it. | :25:07. | :25:09. | |
I rationed my water and had a sip everyday. | :25:10. | :25:12. | |
I was quite confident about my route, | :25:13. | :25:19. | |
thanks to a compass I had on my wrist. | :25:20. | :25:25. | |
I got to Marquesas Keys, which was on my right. | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
There was a beach and that was where someone found me. | :25:31. | :25:36. | |
Some fishermen were passing by very close to me. | :25:37. | :25:39. | |
They saw me and asked me if I was a rafter. | :25:40. | :25:42. | |
I said, "No, I am just very thirsty. | :25:43. | :25:44. | |
They took me by boat to an ambulance that was waiting for me in Key West | :25:45. | :25:52. | |
I was in very bad shape, dehydrated. | :25:53. | :25:59. | |
But I think everything will go well for me here | :26:00. | :26:01. | |
I like the challenge of being in a developed country. | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
It gives you the opportunity to work honestly and | :26:06. | :26:08. | |
The story of one very brave Cuban air. | :26:09. | :26:25. | |
King Juan Carlos of Spain has announced his intention to abdicate, | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
In a televised address he said "A new generation must be at the | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
His son Crown Prince Felipe will take over the throne. | :26:36. | :26:38. | |
For much of his reign, Juan Carlos was seen as one of | :26:39. | :26:41. | |
the world's most popular monarchs, but recently many Spaniards have | :26:42. | :26:44. | |
But for now, from me and the rest of the team, goodbye. | :26:45. | :26:59. | |
