to World News Today - Rescue workers in the Indian city | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
of Kolkata have been using their bare hands | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
to try to save dozens of people feared trapped | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
when a flyover collapsed. Police say at least 18 people | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
died when the structure, which was still under | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
construction, caved in. The flyover had become shelter | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
to the many people who lived and slept under it - | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
some of them labourers working That's why so many people | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
were trapped when it collapsed The accident took place | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
in an area near Girish Park, one of Kolkata's most densely | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
populated neighbourhoods, Witnesses say more than 150 could be | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
trapped under the rubble. A manager behind the construction | :01:45. | :01:51. | |
of the two kilometre long flyover has said the accident | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
was an 'act of God'. But it adds to a lengthening list | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
of such disasters in the country - caused by an industry plagued | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
with safety issues such as lack of inspections and the use | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
of substandard materials. This is normally one | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
of Kolkata's busiest areas. Shoppers had been | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
heading to the city's largest markets at midday | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
when the flyover collapsed. Some escaped, but eyewitnesses | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
say that many are still Loved ones are coming | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
here desperately seeking information as to what has happened | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
to their relatives. The police are at times having | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
to use wooden sticks to move them away as they try and get more | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
and more equipment into this area, and every minute, more ambulances | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
are leaving the scene, The Army is now leading | :02:45. | :02:46. | |
the rescue operations. They are using thermal | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
cameras to try and find those missing and cranes | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
to remove the rubble, but progress is slow | :02:57. | :03:03. | |
and many locals have described the initial | :03:04. | :03:05. | |
response as uncoordinated. For the first few hours, | :03:06. | :03:06. | |
volunteers used their bare hands to try and move its huge slabs | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
of concrete which had people buried This rescue operation | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
will continue into the night, as one of India's largest cities | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
tries to deal with what one local politician has called | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
a monumental tragedy. The prominent British architect, | :03:21. | :03:34. | |
Dame Zaha Hadid has died Dame Zaha, who was born in Iraq, | :03:35. | :03:36. | |
was best known for designs such as the London Aquatics Centre, | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
and was the first woman to be awarded the prestigious | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
Royal Institute of British She had contracted bronchitis | :03:44. | :03:45. | |
earlier this week and suffered a heart attack while being treated | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
in hospital in Miami. She is a reporter for the BBC | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
World Service but has also studied Architecture and was | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
inspired by Zaha Hadid. Tell me, just give us an idea of why | :04:01. | :04:13. | |
she was so respected and so influential. Well, at least to me, | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
Zaha Hadid was bold, confident, unexpected, and these are the | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
qualities that you can clearly see in her buildings and designs. And | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
most importantly, she was a visionary. She had a vision and she | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
geared to imagine, something that a lot of us forget to do in today's | :04:30. | :04:36. | |
aid, whether we are architects, designers, this is something she did | :04:37. | :04:44. | |
and she produces fantastic works and not only was she one of the best and | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
most influential architects in the world she was also an influential | :04:49. | :04:56. | |
and great architect. You said to me that when you are studying | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
architecture here, you would make sure you would go to any lectures | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
when she was there presenting. Why did you have to be there? Well, for | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
me she was an inspiration. As a person and her work. First of all, I | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
would like to talk about her buildings because that is what she | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
did. She designed these incredible buildings that were curved and | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
really reflected her background in mathematics. And she worked with | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
this great team that helped create all of these organic, amazing shapes | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
that really, to me, reflected today's age, today's age of movement | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
and technology and she always used the latest technologies to create | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
her shoes and buildings and everything else. It was just nice to | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
see how she rings all of this, she thinks so outside of the box and | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
brings her imagination to life. It was just amazing to be in her | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
presence. As a person, she was very inspiring because she came from a | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
middle Eastern background and I am from the area myself and not just to | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
a lot of other female architects that I met, she proved that no | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
matter what obstacles you have or where you come from, you don't | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
just... It is not enough just to be good but you can be great. Only if | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
you put yourself to it and apply yourself and be brave and imagine. | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
You state she inspired you as a woman and many other woman as well | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
because she may not have liked that kind of pigeonholing. No, she would | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
not have liked it. If she was here right now, she would argue that she | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
is not a female architects but an architect. And she was great at | :06:30. | :06:36. | |
that. She left me and a lot of other women with that impression. Not only | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
did she inspire women like myself, she inspired many other people from | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
other different backgrounds that would probably think they wouldn't | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
be able to succeed because nobody else has done before. But she went | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
there and she did it and she became an inspiration to me, not as woman | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
like me but to people like me who may think the world does not really | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
have a place for them because nobody has done it. She knew what you | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
wanted and she went there and she got it. OK. It is great to have you | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
with us. I am afraid we are out of time. Thank you very much. | :07:10. | :07:11. | |
Demonstrators have clashed with police in several cities | :07:12. | :07:13. | |
across France during protests over new reforms to the labour law. | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
The French government, led by President Francois Hollande, | :07:17. | :07:18. | |
has been trying to push through changes designed to boost | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
job-creation, but the proposed reforms have faced stiff opposition | :07:24. | :07:25. | |
from both the public and some in the President's | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
For an electorate that often says it wants change, the messages can | :07:29. | :07:44. | |
sometimes be hard to unravel. Unemployment here is running at more | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
than 10%. The economy comes top of many voter's concerns. But the | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
Government has proposed a solution that is not proving popular. In | :07:54. | :08:01. | |
several towns across France, police fired tear gas in a bid to stop | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
students pelting them with stones. Dozens have been arrested. The | :08:05. | :08:12. | |
proposed reforms will make it easier for companies to negotiate over time | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
and other terms with their employees and make it easier for them to lay | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
off workers. In the hope of encouraging them to create more | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
jobs. It will give us more comfort in recruiting. We need to know that | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
we have some flexibility when workload drops to be able to reduce | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
staff. We haven't done that yet but it is an important issue for us. But | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
union representatives say that lay-offs have already been happening | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
and that workers need more protection, not less. TRANSLATION: | :08:48. | :08:55. | |
The reality is that it it is already easy for companies to lay off their | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
workers. Take a look at the job cuts that are passed as a conventional | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
rupture. The number of these ruptures has gone through the roof | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
but it was meant to be a tool for employees who wished to leave their | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
company, but in fact it allows for companies to get rid of their | :09:11. | :09:12. | |
workers or the small company boss already has all the tools to cut | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
jobs easily. Today's demonstrations were the less Denny 's series of | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
protests designed to block the reforms. Hundreds of thousands are | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
thought to have marched against the bill in dozens of towns and cities. | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
The Government has already watered down some of its proposals, but says | :09:30. | :09:36. | |
it will not be forced to drop them. TRANSLATION: We have had this high | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
unemployment level for the past 30 years. It is necessary that people | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
expressed their worries. Some trade unions are using the right to be on | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
strike and demonstrate and it it's legitimate. It is also legitimate | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
that the youth express their exasperation, but concerning the | :09:54. | :09:55. | |
protests today, there are many different calls for protests. There | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
is exasperation on topics other than the liberal reform. There is not a | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
united front from the trade unions demonstrating today. President | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
Francois Hollande is keen to show he can deliver real change before | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
France chooses a new leader in a year. He has failed not to run | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
unless unemployment falls. But the prospect of a healthier economy is | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
much easier to sell than the medicine prescribed to get there. | :10:23. | :10:23. | |
Croatia and Bosnia say the acquittal of the ultra-nationalist Serb | :10:24. | :10:25. | |
He was found not guilty on all counts of alleged war crimes | :10:26. | :10:36. | |
and crimes against humanity, related to the Balkan | :10:37. | :10:38. | |
His spokesman says he is now planning to sue the tribunal. | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
It has been one of the great courtroom | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
13 years since Vojislav Seselj surrendered to the Hague | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
tribunal, finally, the day of judgment had arrived. | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
Though the defendant himself was absent on health grounds. | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
TRANSLATION: Relating to crimes against humanity, | :11:04. | :11:05. | |
the court reached a majority verdict concluding that the accusation | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
was not proven beyond all reasonable doubt that | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
a generalised or systematic attack was launched on the non-Serb | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
civilian population in the vast majority of Croatia and Bosnia. | :11:18. | :11:19. | |
The evidence submitted and considered in fact establishes | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
that there was an armed conflict between | :11:25. | :11:26. | |
enemy military forces with civilian components. | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
The prosecutor, in the opinion of the majority, has | :11:31. | :11:32. | |
not shown to the judge a picture which clearly shows that civilians | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
were targeted en masse, even though they did not take part | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
It meant vindication for the radical party leader. | :11:40. | :11:49. | |
The poster says he is a winner and his party is running in next | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
month's general election in Serbia, but Mr Seselj is no | :11:54. | :11:55. | |
longer the populist firebrand of the 1990s. | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
He has become a marginal figure in a country moving | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
TRANSLATION: Vojislav Seselj today is not even remotely the same | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
as the old Seselj before he went to the Hague tribunal. | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
Today, he's the leader of a party which will probably reach | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
the election threshold and enter parliament. | :12:15. | :12:16. | |
In public life, he is, I would say, one of the weakest | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
That is reflected in low attendance at campaign rallies. | :12:22. | :12:29. | |
The ultranationalist line no longer appeals to many Serbians. | :12:30. | :12:32. | |
They have seen where it led them in the 1990s | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
and the verdict of the Hague is unlikely to produce a political | :12:36. | :12:38. | |
revival for Mr Seselj and his allies. | :12:39. | :12:47. | |
With me is Tim Judah, Balkans correspondent | :12:48. | :12:48. | |
Thank you for joining us. What is your reaction to the decision? Well, | :12:49. | :13:03. | |
I think shock, really. Having been a correspondent who covered the events | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
on the ground and having listened to the judgment and read the verdict, | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
it just seems completely baffling. For example, it says here that the | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
prosecution failed to prove beyond all reasonable doubt that there was | :13:15. | :13:17. | |
a widespread and systematic attack on the non-Serb population of Serbia | :13:18. | :13:25. | |
and Bosnia and names the areas including Sarajevo. And it just | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
seems incredible considering all the previous trials have found exactly | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
that and then to suggest that people who fled, they were provided with | :13:34. | :13:41. | |
buses, and it suggests here that they were provided on humanitarian | :13:42. | :13:44. | |
grounds and it is just bizarre. So what is the rationale? For | :13:45. | :13:52. | |
acquitting him of all nine counts? Well, there were several counts but | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
what they have said is that he recruited a paramilitary force, | :13:57. | :14:04. | |
which is undisputed bull, but they agree with his argument that once he | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
had recruited the paramilitaries, your nose possibility because then | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
they came under the orders of the Yugoslav army and the army of the | :14:15. | :14:16. | |
Bosnian Serbs and the Croatian Serbs. This was a way of galvanising | :14:17. | :14:27. | |
the troops but he didn't necessarily mean that he actually meant that | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
people should be killed or murdered, which just flies in the face of | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
everything that we saw and heard in that period. He is now planning to | :14:36. | :14:42. | |
try and sue. What does this say? About the legitimacy of the | :14:43. | :14:45. | |
try and sue. What does this say? tribunal? The tribunal is clearly in | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
trouble because it has had a period of ups and downs and now no one can | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
really understand what are the criteria for being found guilty. For | :14:55. | :15:02. | |
example, a week ago, the leader of the Bosnian Serbs who had been | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
indicted on 11 counts was convicted on ten of them, including genocide, | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
but before that we had a series of indictments, three Croatian | :15:13. | :15:19. | |
generals, one Kosovar, who were found guilty but then they were | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
acquitted on appeal, so it seems like the bar for proving guilt seems | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
to be moving around. So no one really knows what it is that you | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
have got to have done to have been found guilty. Very briefly, in terms | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
of attempts to heal both regionally with countries in the region. What | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
do you think this judgment is going to do that? Either absolutely | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
nothing or set it back. I suspect it will do absolutely nothing. It has | :15:51. | :15:53. | |
been great to have you with us. Unfortunately, we have run out of | :15:54. | :15:55. | |
time, but thank you. A car bomb near a bus terminal | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
in the Turkish city of Diyarbakir has killed at least seven policemen | :15:59. | :16:01. | |
and wounded 14 other A source in the security forces says | :16:02. | :16:03. | |
the target was a minibus carrying against the banned Kurdish militant | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
group the PKK. Speaking in Washington, | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan denounced those who carried out | :16:13. | :16:14. | |
the attack and said the militants were acting out of desperation | :16:15. | :16:17. | |
as they had been cornered. Now a look at some of | :16:18. | :16:23. | |
the day's other news. Belgian authorities say the only | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
surviving suspect in the Paris The Belgian public prosecutor's | :16:27. | :16:33. | |
office said the transfer was possible as Abdeslam had agreed | :16:34. | :16:35. | |
to co-operate with France. He was arrested earlier this month | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
in Brussels after four months But after last week's suicide | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
bombings in Brussels, he then exercised his | :16:43. | :16:51. | |
right to silence. President Obama's held discussions | :16:52. | :16:53. | |
about North Korea's nuclear programme with the leaders | :16:54. | :16:55. | |
of Japan and South Korea. Meeting on the sidelines | :16:56. | :16:57. | |
of a Nuclear Security Summit in Washington, they agreed | :16:58. | :16:59. | |
to strengthen co-operation. The summit is to try and tackle | :17:00. | :17:01. | |
nuclear smuggling and prevent nuclear terrorism, | :17:02. | :17:03. | |
but Russia is not attending. The Hungarian Nobel Literature Prize | :17:04. | :17:05. | |
winner Imre Kertesz has died at the age of 86 | :17:06. | :17:07. | |
in Budapest after a long illness. The writer was deeply affected | :17:08. | :17:10. | |
by the years he endured as a teenager in Nazi death camps, | :17:11. | :17:13. | |
and drew on the experience His most famous novel, Fateless, | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
depicts a boy's life in one Cricket's World Twenty20 Final | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
will take place in Kolkata on Sunday India were beaten a short while ago | :17:23. | :17:29. | |
in a thrilling semi-final in Mumbai - losing by seven wickets | :17:30. | :17:38. | |
to the West Indies, Thank you for coming up for us. They | :17:39. | :17:56. | |
will not be in the final but India will consider this a success in | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
terms of the tournament as a whole? Not really. If you talk to the fans, | :18:01. | :18:06. | |
many thought that India had a very good chance of winning the | :18:07. | :18:08. | |
tournament this time around. They had a good team in place, they had | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
some very good players who were performing well, and the biggest | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
factor in their favour was that the tournament was happening in India, | :18:17. | :18:19. | |
is that gives them an advantage against other teams, so the fans are | :18:20. | :18:23. | |
disappointed, people are disappointed because most thought | :18:24. | :18:26. | |
that India where the favourites to win today and also win the | :18:27. | :18:29. | |
tournament and that is why it will not be seen as a huge success. It | :18:30. | :18:34. | |
must be a devastating mood there where you are. Tell us what people | :18:35. | :18:40. | |
have been saying to you. Out on the streets, outside the stadium before | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
the match started, people were excited, but when the match was | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
ending, a lot of people were watching the match outside in bars | :18:49. | :18:51. | |
and restaurants and everyone thought in the end that India would win but | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
they didn't. It was clear they were dejected and disappointed because | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
more. Even when the West Indies were batting very well that India would | :19:00. | :19:01. | |
win the match in the end but that did not happen. The fans are | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
disappointed. Usually what happens is that India wins the match and you | :19:06. | :19:08. | |
find people on the street celebrating and that is not the case | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
today. The streets are empty, deserted, everyone has gone back on. | :19:13. | :19:24. | |
I would usually be cheering on -- people would usually be cheering on | :19:25. | :19:36. | |
one of the West Indies players. Many thought that when he left, they | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
would have the edge, but they maintained the tempo and the | :19:40. | :19:42. | |
temperament but he was lucky because he got out twice and he was ruled | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
not out because of April ball and that gave him a chance to prove his | :19:48. | :19:55. | |
innings. Many commentators will tell you that that that was the turning | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
point of the match. That really cost him the match from an Indian point | :20:00. | :20:03. | |
of view but he batted really well, no doubt. So presumably, you would | :20:04. | :20:07. | |
be watching Sunday's final. How are you going to manage? Well, it is | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
going to be exciting because you have two good teams in the final. | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
Most people before the finals they would think that England and West | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
Indies would be playing the finals. People expected India and New | :20:22. | :20:24. | |
Zealand to be playing the finals. That has not happened so clearly far | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
a neutral audience point of view it is going to be an exciting match | :20:30. | :20:31. | |
because in London looking really good but then you have the West | :20:32. | :20:34. | |
Indies, you can never pull them out so it will be a very interesting | :20:35. | :20:41. | |
clash and cricket is always note to draw up interesting matches so you | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
will have a huge crowd turning up to watch the finals. OK. Thank you. | :20:47. | :21:45. | |
The US military has told Congress that it will release about a dozen | :21:46. | :21:48. | |
two, as yet unnamed, countries that have agreed | :21:49. | :22:02. | |
The process will start in the next few days. | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
There are ninety one inmates at the prison, | :22:06. | :22:07. | |
which President Obama wants to close before he leaves office. | :22:08. | :22:09. | |
South Africa's two main opposition parties are calling | :22:10. | :22:11. | |
for the president Jacob Zuma to resign. | :22:12. | :22:13. | |
That's after the country's highest court issued a damning ruling, | :22:14. | :22:15. | |
over millions of dollars of taxpayers money spent | :22:16. | :22:17. | |
The constitutional court said President Zuma ignored the findings | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
of an official anti-corruption watchdog in 2014, which orderedhim | :22:21. | :22:23. | |
The improvements his house in Nkandla include a swimming pool, | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
The South African government has said President Zuma will reflect | :22:28. | :22:30. | |
All the president was required to do was to comply. | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
Arguably he did, but only with the directive to report | :22:35. | :22:36. | |
The president thus failed to uphold, defend and respect the constitution | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
Our correspondent Milton Nkosi has been getting reaction from outside | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
We are outside the Constitutional court | :22:45. | :22:46. | |
It is the highest court in the land where a | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
ruling which was pretty damning against President Jacob Zuma has | :22:51. | :22:52. | |
because the judge said that President Jacob Zuma | :22:53. | :22:58. | |
We welcome the authority of the Constitutional Court. | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
We celebrate that in fact it has ruled itself and given a declarative | :23:03. | :23:05. | |
order on the powers of the protector. | :23:06. | :23:07. | |
What needs to happen today is that we must now impeach | :23:08. | :23:10. | |
President Zuma for having failed to protect our | :23:11. | :23:12. | |
Constitution, for violating it and in fact acting | :23:13. | :23:13. | |
against the powers of the public protector and without fail | :23:14. | :23:16. | |
for defrauding the people of South Africa of millions of rands. | :23:17. | :23:19. | |
And now, as they say, after all this drama, | :23:20. | :23:21. | |
the ball is in the ANC's court, the party which President Zuma | :23:22. | :23:24. | |
Now, they have a few options available to them. | :23:25. | :23:27. | |
They can either follow the impeachment | :23:28. | :23:28. | |
process which has now been started by the opposition and vote | :23:29. | :23:31. | |
against their own president in Parliament or they can recall | :23:32. | :23:33. | |
the president, as they did in 2008, when they | :23:34. | :23:35. | |
recalled former president Thabo Mbeki. | :23:36. | :23:37. | |
The other option, of course, is just to stick it out and keep | :23:38. | :23:40. | |
Last month, a gorilla was born at Bristol Zoo | :23:41. | :23:43. | |
What was special about her delivery was that it happened | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
Staff say she's doing well, and has been given | :23:48. | :23:50. | |
The Zoo said we could take our cameras to film her, | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
Lindsay looks like any proud mum, carrying a newborn through the park. | :23:55. | :24:00. | |
This is a seven-week old baby western lowland gorilla, | :24:01. | :24:08. | |
And it was on a Friday last month that she was born in a rare | :24:09. | :24:21. | |
emergency Cesarean after her mum suddenly became unwell. | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
Until mum is fully recovered she needs to be hand reared by staff | :24:26. | :24:29. | |
That even means taking her home with them at night. | :24:30. | :24:36. | |
Lindsay told me she sleeps with Afia downstairs while her husband and two | :24:37. | :24:39. | |
Might watch a little bit of telly, make a cup of tea, but I'm always | :24:40. | :24:53. | |
aware of feeds and getting sleep in between those feeds, | :24:54. | :24:55. | |
just like when you have young babies at home. | :24:56. | :24:58. | |
Zookeepers say the priority is to get Afia back with her gorilla | :24:59. | :25:04. | |
family where the public can see her, but that could take months. | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
If her real mum can't bring her up than her aunty is said to be | :25:10. | :25:13. | |
But in the meantime, she has Lindsay. | :25:14. | :25:35. | |
A runaway parrot has turned an Australian Reporter into an | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
international celebrity after a happened as before a live report. I | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
can't get it off me. Can you please get it off me? It is not funny. It | :25:46. | :25:50. | |
is not funny. As you saw from her rather panicked reaction there, the | :25:51. | :25:56. | |
live news reporter was less than pleased with her surprise guest and | :25:57. | :25:58. | |
the cameraman's rather slow reaction. Our very concerned owner | :25:59. | :26:03. |
