:05:01. > :05:05.about how to secure Syria's chemical weapons. We'll have more on those
:05:05. > :05:09.talks in a moment. But first, the BBC has seen new graphic evidence of
:05:09. > :05:14.atrocities being carried out in the civil war, this time by rebels
:05:14. > :05:17.affiliated to Al-Qaeda. Paul Wood sent this report from neighbouring

:05:46. > :05:55.regime used chemical weapons that brought Western governments to the
:05:55. > :05:59.brink of intervention here. The rebel Free Syrian Army was counting
:05:59. > :06:07.on that. They were left stunned when the West did not bomb.
:06:07. > :06:13.TRANSLATION: The international community has given a green light to
:06:13. > :06:15.Assad to commit more massacres. Another 100,000 Syrians will die by

:07:30. > :07:35.intervene. The Syrian people would welcome any support if the world
:07:35. > :07:39.continues to fail us. This, then, is how the Free Syrian Army gets its
:07:39. > :07:42.bombs. The Americans have promised to send weapons. One senior

:07:45. > :07:51.he had had so far was roots and jackets. In the camps of

:08:00. > :08:03.have spoken to here say that, contrary to reports, they are
:08:03. > :08:07.getting hardly any military support from the Americans and others, just
:08:07. > :08:12.a trickle of small arms and ammunition. That is far from the
:08:12. > :08:15.game changing strike they hoped for and may not be enough to alter the
:08:15. > :08:21.battlefield at all in their favour. In fact, the only effect may be to
:08:21. > :08:29.prolong Syria's Civil War. So the refugees keep coming. Many have
:08:30. > :08:33.decided that even the misery of the refugee camp is better than the

:08:37. > :08:40.Back to those talks in Geneva between America and Russia about
:08:40. > :08:43.putting Syria's chemical weapons beyond use. The US Secretary of

:08:47. > :08:50.practical details of how to take possession of Syria's entire
:08:50. > :08:55.chemical arsenal amid all the fighting, and then dispose of it,
:08:55. > :09:04.will not be easy to resolve. James Robins is in Geneva.
:09:04. > :09:10.James, what are you hearing there tonight? We are hearing from an
:09:10. > :09:20.American official that progress is being made, that the talks will run
:09:20. > :09:23.deep into the night and will resume tomorrow. But, as this American put

:09:25. > :09:32.candles burning behind me because the negotiations are still going on.
:09:32. > :09:35.It has been a long day of talking. John Kerry and Sergey Lavrov are
:09:35. > :09:40.said to get on well. They have even been looking ahead with the top UN
:09:40. > :09:43.official on Syria to the possibility of providing wider peace talks. But
:09:43. > :09:48.first, they have to resolve differences over the chemical
:09:48. > :09:51.weapons issue, not least the right to threaten military strikes. I
:09:51. > :09:55.think we would agree that we had to threaten military strikes. I
:09:55. > :09:59.constructive conversations regarding that, but those conversations are
:09:59. > :10:04.continuing and both of us want to get back to them now. President
:10:04. > :10:09.Putin has been meeting fellow leaders, including his counterparts
:10:09. > :10:13.from China and Iran. Mr Putin, as the architect of the chemical
:10:13. > :10:17.disarmament plan, sounds bullish. TRANSLATION: The initiative to

:10:25. > :10:29.which should lead to a peaceful, or create conditions for a peaceful
:10:29. > :10:34.settlement. The UN secretary general has let slip that his inspectors do

:10:39. > :10:46.Moon appeared unaware that UN TV was live as he spoke. Our team will come
:10:46. > :10:53.out soon with the report. But I believe that the port will be an
:10:53. > :10:57.overwhelming report that chemical weapons were used. Even though I
:10:57. > :11:03.cannot publicly say at this time, before I received this report. In
:11:03. > :11:07.Geneva, weak against the Russian Foreign Minister on the phone in a

:11:10. > :11:15.with the Americans on ways to deal with President Assad's chemical
:11:15. > :11:18.arsenal. The United States and Britain are among countries which
:11:18. > :11:21.have disposed of chemical weapons. America has already spent many years
:11:22. > :11:28.and billions of dollars to dispose of its own stocks. Stripping Syria

:11:40. > :11:45.And it is the fear of failure, of course, which means both sides here

:18:38. > :18:43.was a simple idea which at first did not look like a money spinner. Here

:18:49. > :18:52.Twitter's founders, Jack Dorsey. The years, they just concentrated on
:18:53. > :18:58.growing the audience from that one user. By 2008, there were a million

:19:21. > :19:25.there is advertising there. That is one of the appeals to both
:19:25. > :19:29.advertisers and consumers. I think that is going to change, and the
:19:29. > :19:33.advertising will become more intrusive. Last year, Facebook's
:19:33. > :19:39.arrival on the stock market saw share prices plunge over concerns
:19:39. > :19:46.over whether advertisers could place adverts on mobile phones. Investors
:19:46. > :19:50.are interested in mobile advertising as a possible revenue system, and

:21:07. > :21:11.face. Everyone knows this is Angela Merkel's election message, that
:21:11. > :21:17.Germany is safe in her hands. Her supporters, defying the Bavarian
:21:17. > :21:22.rain, believing their leader's instinctive caution. The warm-up
:21:22. > :21:25.date dancers might give the impression that the German
:21:25. > :21:32.Chancellor is trying to pump up the electorate. She is not. Europe's
:21:32. > :21:36.most powerful politician is avoiding controversy, selling herself as an
:21:36. > :21:43.GB manager who has protected Germany from the worst of the Eurozone
:21:43. > :21:46.crisis. TRANSLATION: We have shown that despite the international
:21:46. > :21:53.financial crisis, despite the Euro crisis, we have had four good years
:21:53. > :22:01.for Germany. Years where unemployment fell to its lowest in
:22:01. > :22:10.two decades. Germany is really good during this time in Europe. We have
:22:10. > :22:15.almost no unemployment. Her campaign is built around herself, her
:22:15. > :22:19.personality, a rather private politician has been happy to see
:22:19. > :22:24.pictures published of herself as a child with a doll. And as a
:22:24. > :22:30.teenager, camping. The election campaign passes through Dresden. Her
:22:30. > :22:34.main opponent is the Social Democrat, Peer Steinbruck. He
:22:34. > :22:40.campaigns for a minimum wage and against low pay, but struggles to
:22:40. > :22:43.attack Angela Merkel. TRANSLATION: Everything is going round in
:22:44. > :22:48.circles, but where is the direction 's the Chancellor has the power to
:22:48. > :22:53.set policy. Mrs Merkel can determine policy guidelines, but she doesn't
:22:53. > :22:57.issue any. It has not helped him that in the past 24 hours, this
:22:57. > :23:02.picture emerged, taken a month ago, when he was asked how how you would
:23:02. > :23:05.respond to his critics. However hard the opposition campaigns, many say
:23:06. > :23:09.that the only undecided question is who Angela Merkel will go into
:23:09. > :23:15.coalition with. It tells you something that of them -- often, the
:23:15. > :23:20.sharpest criticism of her is when she is accused of putting the
:23:20. > :23:24.country to sleep. There has been a narrowing in the polls, but Angela
:23:24. > :23:28.Merkel remains the firm favourite to be returned as Chancellor. But she
:23:28. > :23:35.has given few details of her vision for either Germany or Europe.
:23:36. > :23:40.The leader of the Green Party, Natalie Bennett, has told supporters
:23:40. > :23:43.at their annual conference in Brighton that the Greens are the
:23:43. > :23:46.only alternative to the indistinguishable big Westminster
:23:46. > :23:50.parties. She used her opening speech to attack the government's welfare
:23:50. > :23:56.reforms and condemned the involvement of private firms in the
:23:56. > :24:00.Royal Mail and the NHS. The NHS is a national jewel that must be grabbed
:24:00. > :24:07.back from the jewel thieves, polished and set back again in pride
:24:07. > :24:12.of place. The profit motive has no place in the health care system, and
:24:12. > :24:16.we will not rest we have expelled every last corporate bloodsucker
:24:16. > :24:20.from our NHS. The man in charge of the 2022
:24:20. > :24:24.football World Cup in Qatar insists that his country is the right place
:24:24. > :24:28.for the competition, despite concerns about extreme temperatures
:24:28. > :24:33.during the tournament. FIFA is now expected to stage its during the
:24:33. > :24:36.winter months to avoid the heat. Our sports correspondent went to meet
:24:36. > :24:45.Hassan Al-Thawadi at the world's oldest football club, Sheffield FC.
:24:45. > :24:49.The 2022 FIFA World Cup is Qatar! Nearly three years on from being
:24:49. > :24:56.unexpectedly awarded the 2022 World Cup, Qatar are fighting back against
:24:56. > :25:00.their critics. In his first major interview on his country's plans,
:25:00. > :25:04.the head of Qatar's World Cup told me that having won the bid, they
:25:04. > :25:08.will not give it up. Someone is going to take the World Cup away
:25:08. > :25:13.from us? No. There is no reason for it. Every promise we have provided
:25:13. > :25:18.during the bidding stage, we have worked hard to ensure that we are
:25:18. > :25:22.within the rules of hosting agreements. But concerns are
:25:22. > :25:25.mounting. This week, the head of world football, Sepp Blatter, said
:25:25. > :25:30.holding the tournament during a Qatari summer is not the right thing
:25:30. > :25:34.to do. Greg Dyke, chairman of the Football Association, said FIFA can
:25:34. > :25:41.either move it timewise, or to another location. But Premier League
:25:41. > :25:43.executive Richard Scudamore believes chaos would be caught across world
:25:43. > :25:48.football if it got moved. Those views stem from the extreme heat the
:25:48. > :25:52.tiny Gulf state experiences in June and July, but Qatar insists that it
:25:52. > :25:56.can welcome the world at any time of year. I would like to assure
:25:56. > :26:01.everybody that it is not impossible to host the World Cup in the
:26:01. > :26:07.summer. Everybody thinks it is 50 degrees. That number has been
:26:07. > :26:14.plastered on. 50 degrees is the extreme. Whether it is in June, July
:26:14. > :26:19.or November December, at any time, we are ready to host it. As the
:26:19. > :26:22.first World Cup to be held in an Islamic state, many fans will
:26:22. > :26:25.first World Cup to be held in an experience radically different
:26:25. > :26:29.social attitudes in Qatar. Hassan Al-Thawadi must now deliver a
:26:29. > :26:33.successful event. During a visit to Sheffield FC, the world's oldest
:26:33. > :26:36.football club, the newest figure in the game agreed to meet a group of
:26:36. > :26:42.supporters to answer their questions. As a fan wanting to
:26:42. > :26:47.visit, what are the issues with alcohol? Alcohol is available right
:26:47. > :26:53.now. Not as readily available as in England, because it is not part of
:26:53. > :26:58.our culture. The current laws within Qatar are such that gay men are not
:26:58. > :27:02.allowed to be themselves if they want to come to the World Cup. We
:27:02. > :27:08.have our own beliefs, but it does not mean we will restrict anybody.
:27:08. > :27:16.If anybody who comes in respects our beliefs. Qatar may be small, but it
:27:16. > :27:23.is big on ambition. There is a desire to exceed expectations. The
:27:23. > :27:27.World Cup brings football together, but a tournament that is still nine
:27:27. > :27:30.years away is threatening to divide the game.
