:00:05. > :00:11.For the first time in over 30 years an American President and the leader

:00:11. > :00:13.of Iran have direct talks. President Obama and President

:00:13. > :00:25.Rouhani spoke on the phone about resolving the deadlock over Iran's

:00:25. > :00:29.nuclear programme. While there will surely be important obstacles to

:00:29. > :00:32.moving forward, and success is by no means guaranteed, I believe we can

:00:32. > :00:36.reach a competence of solution. We'll bring you the latest on what

:00:36. > :00:38.appears to be a seismic change in relations between the two countries.

:00:38. > :00:40.Also tonight: An exclusive report about the security breaches,

:00:40. > :00:46.incompetence and confusion that helped the terrorists in the Kenyan

:00:46. > :00:49.shopping mall siege. More extreme weather is forecast by

:00:49. > :00:54.climate scientists who say they're virtually certain humans are the

:00:54. > :00:57.main cause of global warming. The government confirms it will

:00:57. > :01:08.bring in a tax break of £1000 for married couples before the next

:01:08. > :01:10.election. Royal Mail has, in effect, been

:01:10. > :01:13.privatised, on the day postal workers vote on strike action.

:01:14. > :01:15.And how do ballet dancers manage to spin without getting dizzy? It's in

:01:15. > :01:21.their brains. In Sportsday, Brian Cookson, the new

:01:21. > :01:23.man in charge of the International Cycling Union, promises to clean up

:01:23. > :01:50.the sport. Good evening.

:01:50. > :01:54.President Obama and the Iranian president have spoken by phone. It's

:01:54. > :01:59.the first time American and Iranian leaders have spoken in more than 30

:01:59. > :02:02.years. It follows a speech made by Hassan Rouhani at the UN in which he

:02:02. > :02:04.has said he's willing to reach an agreement about his country's

:02:04. > :02:08.nuclear programme, something which has been a stumbling block to talks

:02:08. > :02:11.for many years. After the conversation, Mr Obama said he

:02:11. > :02:17.believed the two countries can reach a solution together. Jeremy Bowen is

:02:17. > :02:20.at the United Nations in New York. Jeremy, it's hard to overstate how

:02:20. > :02:29.big a change this looks to be in relations between the two countries.

:02:29. > :02:34.It certainly does, and not just atmospheric, as well, because they

:02:34. > :02:37.had some substantive meetings which all sides pronounced themselves

:02:37. > :02:42.happy with. Just after the talk the official Twitter of resident Rouhani

:02:42. > :02:50.posted a few of the details of the conversation. -- president Rouhani.

:02:50. > :02:56.President Obama said goodbye in Persian. They also talked about

:02:56. > :02:58.potential breakthroughs on the nuclear file. President Obama said,

:02:58. > :03:04.if we can make progress on this, other issues like Syria will be

:03:05. > :03:09.positively affected. And Hassan Rouhani said, if there is a

:03:09. > :03:14.political will, there is a way. It may sound a little bit mundane, but

:03:14. > :03:18.this is significant, because it comes at the end of a week where

:03:18. > :03:23.there looked to have been some very significant breakthroughs between

:03:23. > :03:27.Iran, America and the West. President Obama did not manage a

:03:28. > :03:34.handshake with Iran's buzzard and Rouhani when both men were at the UN

:03:34. > :03:37.this week. -- president Rouhani. But relations have been so troubled for

:03:38. > :03:44.35 years that even a phone call counts as a breakthrough. I spoke on

:03:44. > :03:47.the phone with president Rouhani of the Islamic Republic of Iran. We

:03:47. > :03:52.discussed ongoing efforts to reach an agreement over Iran's nuclear

:03:52. > :03:59.programme. I reiterated what I said in New York. While there will surely

:03:59. > :04:04.be important obstacles to moving forward and success is by no means

:04:04. > :04:09.guaranteed, I believe we can reach a competence of solution. With UN

:04:09. > :04:13.weapons inspectors back in Damascus, the other breakthrough President

:04:13. > :04:19.Obama welcomed was the UN resolution aimed at this arming Syria's arsenal

:04:19. > :04:25.of chemical weapons. -- disarming. Syria is in ruins, more than 100,000

:04:25. > :04:30.are dead and around 7 million, almost one third of the population,

:04:30. > :04:33.have lost their homes. The resolution on chemical weapons is

:04:33. > :04:39.not about any of that. It addresses the consequences of one horrific

:04:39. > :04:44.attack that all the big powers can so far agree on. Turkey was

:04:44. > :04:47.infuriated by the decision not to bomb. Its Foreign Minister in New

:04:47. > :04:50.York for the General Assembly has called for military action to impose

:04:50. > :04:58.safe zones for refugees inside Syria. The neighbouring countries

:04:58. > :05:03.are begging, we are crying for agreement on a humanitarian, refugee

:05:03. > :05:07.issue. Do you think that diplomatic energy is being poured into the

:05:07. > :05:11.wrong thing, chemical weapons, when more than 100,000 have been killed

:05:11. > :05:17.by conventional weapons? Anything, even little, is positive. But is it

:05:17. > :05:24.enough bestial mark no. Inside Syria, the dominant rebel fighters

:05:24. > :05:28.are now Islamist. These were fighting earlier this week. They are

:05:28. > :05:29.not interested in talk of a political settlement between the

:05:29. > :05:34.not interested in talk of a regime and rebels acceptable to the

:05:34. > :05:37.West. These Islamist groups, highly motivated and increasingly well

:05:37. > :05:41.armed, have eclipsed the fighters that Western countries support with

:05:41. > :05:46.non-lethal aid, to the dismay of the so-called moderate Syrian

:05:46. > :05:51.opposition. They are very disciplined, well supplied, they

:05:51. > :05:55.have a lot of cash and arms. While our allies, our friends, have been

:05:55. > :06:01.very slow in providing the support we need to provide training and arms

:06:01. > :06:07.supplies to those moderate forces. Before he left New York, Iran's

:06:07. > :06:10.president told journalists that some of the jihadists groups fighting his

:06:10. > :06:13.ally, President Assad, where terrorist 's, who, EZ, spread like

:06:13. > :06:18.bacteria. If there is to be a terrorist 's, who, EZ, spread like

:06:18. > :06:22.solution in Syria, Iran will have to be part of it. All sides need to

:06:22. > :06:25.make sure there is enough diplomatic and wit available to deal with that

:06:25. > :06:31.and the nuclear talks at the same time. -- to deal with that and with

:06:31. > :06:37.the nuclear talks. This week, Hassan Rouhani referred

:06:37. > :06:42.to America as the great nation. What should we read into these

:06:42. > :06:45.developments? Since the Iranians revolution in 1979 they have had a

:06:45. > :06:52.dysfunctional and at times violent relationship, daggers drawn. There

:06:52. > :06:59.has been a marked change in the atmospherics this week. But after

:06:59. > :07:00.that meeting of the five permanent members of the Security Council,

:07:00. > :07:05.plus Germany, in the Iran and members of the Security Council,

:07:05. > :07:08.nuclear issue, meeting with Iran, and they all emerged satisfied, they

:07:08. > :07:12.said, with what was being discussed. I think that was perhaps the trigger

:07:12. > :07:17.for both sides, Iranians and Americans, to think, we could not do

:07:17. > :07:21.a handshake earlier, because Iran did not want to do it while

:07:21. > :07:26.President Obama was here, but now is the time for a telephone

:07:26. > :07:30.conversation, which is clearly of the symbolic importance. The next

:07:30. > :07:33.stage would be a meeting in Geneva about the nuclear issue, where they

:07:33. > :07:37.hope that Iran will be putting forward its plan. It is a busy

:07:37. > :07:39.diplomatic agenda because, of course, there is the Syrian issue as

:07:39. > :07:43.well, which Iran, as President course, there is the Syrian issue as

:07:43. > :07:48.Assad's ally, is also deeply embedded in.

:07:48. > :07:51.A BBC investigation has revealed how the shopping mall siege in Kenya was

:07:51. > :07:55.helped by security breaches, incompetence and confusion. The BBC

:07:55. > :07:59.has learnt that the militants rented a shop in the mall in the weeks

:07:59. > :08:03.before the attack as a place to store their weapons, using fake IDs,

:08:03. > :08:05.which are easily available. Security sources in Nairobi have revealed a

:08:05. > :08:08.handover of control between the police and the army during the siege

:08:08. > :08:13.was fraught with confusion, which gave the terrorists a chance to

:08:13. > :08:15.regroup. And the head of the country's defence committee has now

:08:16. > :08:18.demanded security chiefs appear before parliament next week to

:08:18. > :08:27.answer questions about intelligence failures. This exclusive report from

:08:27. > :08:34.Karen Allen in Nairobi. Fresh, haunting picked it reveal the

:08:34. > :08:39.aftermath of the Westgate siege. Many people are still missing. Now,

:08:39. > :08:42.senior politicians have started the search for the truth, demanding

:08:42. > :08:49.answers from Kenya's intelligence chiefs. Generally, when an act of

:08:49. > :08:53.this nature takes place, it is an evidence of a failure at some point

:08:53. > :08:56.in the security system. The fact that that failure has taken place

:08:56. > :09:01.leaves questions in the minds of the public as to their safety and

:09:01. > :09:04.security. Security sources have confirmed to me that the attackers

:09:04. > :09:09.had extraordinary access to the building in the weeks leading up to

:09:09. > :09:14.the attack. They rented a shop right inside the complex, probably using

:09:14. > :09:18.fake ID. They were then able to use the service lifts to be able to

:09:18. > :09:22.stockpile weapons and ammunition, which enable them to resupply

:09:22. > :09:27.constantly jawing the course of the siege. Our own investigation reveals

:09:27. > :09:33.the attackers arrived in two cars. One group swept into the front

:09:33. > :09:36.entrance, blasting past security guards, spraying bullets into the

:09:36. > :09:41.main lobby. A second group approached from the side, killing

:09:41. > :09:45.security staff, who demanded they be searched. Some of them headed to the

:09:45. > :09:49.basement, others to the rooftop. One team shot their way up to the first

:09:49. > :09:54.floor, smashing security cameras along the way. We have established

:09:54. > :10:00.that they set up a base near a ventilation shaft, next to a

:10:00. > :10:04.supermarket spanning two floors. The largest group of hostages were held

:10:04. > :10:11.here. More gun men advanced upstairs, two children's cooking

:10:11. > :10:14.competition was in full swing. Eyewitnesses say this is where at

:10:14. > :10:19.least 15 people were killed on the spot. Gun men is dormant the

:10:19. > :10:24.supermarket, shoppers unable to escape. You still do not know how

:10:25. > :10:30.many survived. -- they stormed the supermarket. This man was trapped

:10:30. > :10:34.inside for six hours. His experience supports our evidence that the

:10:34. > :10:39.Islamist extremists had extraordinary capability to repel

:10:39. > :10:44.security forces. It would not stop. We kept hearing these explosions,

:10:44. > :10:48.sporadic gunfire. It was coming from different parts of the building.

:10:48. > :10:54.Where is all this ammunition coming from? How come they have got so

:10:54. > :10:58.much? Not much is known about the militants, but we established that

:10:58. > :11:01.they rolled out heavy weapons later in the siege, exploiting the moment

:11:01. > :11:05.when control and rescue efforts switched from police to the

:11:05. > :11:11.military. Each attacker seemed well trained. He had a long weapon with

:11:11. > :11:16.him. He put an Arafat scarf around his neck. And he was holding the gun

:11:16. > :11:23.and confidently, shooting at whoever he felt like. Rumours identifying

:11:23. > :11:28.the militants who did this are rife. A spokesman for the extremist group

:11:28. > :11:36.told me they were not naming names. It seems the agonising wait for

:11:36. > :11:42.answers could last for weeks. Andrew Harding is in Nairobi. How

:11:42. > :11:48.much did these security breaches help the terrorists in this attack?

:11:48. > :11:52.There is agreement that this was a well-planned, sophisticated attack,

:11:52. > :11:56.but there are some angry questions being asked now about the shopping

:11:56. > :11:59.mall itself, which was known to be a potential target. People say, how is

:11:59. > :12:03.it possible it was not that guarded potential target. People say, how is

:12:03. > :12:08.and how were the weapons allowed to be smuggled in of time? There are

:12:08. > :12:12.also questions about the operation, the command and control, confusion

:12:12. > :12:15.between the military and police, although the interior Minister

:12:16. > :12:22.insisted there was Central command and control. We have also heard more

:12:22. > :12:25.about the death toll. 61 civilians officially dead, but possibly the

:12:25. > :12:29.same number buried under the rubble of the building which we now

:12:29. > :12:32.understand was brought down not by Al-Shabab militants, but by the

:12:32. > :12:42.Kenyan forces, as they went into the building.

:12:42. > :12:46.Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale, the two men accused of

:12:46. > :12:50.killing Fusilier Lee Rigby in May, have pleaded not guilty to his

:12:50. > :12:53.murder. The soldier died after being attacked outside his barracks in

:12:53. > :13:00.Woolwich in south-east London. The two also denied trying to murder a

:13:00. > :13:03.police officer. A UN report warns that the world can expect more

:13:03. > :13:08.extreme weather like trout, you too stunned flooding as a result of

:13:08. > :13:12.local warming, and that man is the dominant cause of climate change.

:13:12. > :13:17.Scientists say evidence to support that has grown and they are 95 per

:13:17. > :13:22.cent certain. They estimate that sea levels could rise between 26 and 82

:13:22. > :13:27.centimetres by the end of this century. The report has led to

:13:27. > :13:30.renewed calls for global action. This report from Stockholm, where

:13:30. > :13:35.the report was published. The conclusions were dramatic and the

:13:35. > :13:38.language was clear. The atmosphere and oceans have

:13:38. > :13:46.warmed, snow and ice have diminished, sea level has risen. It

:13:46. > :13:50.is 95% certain that humans are the dominant cause, scientists say. The

:13:50. > :13:53.findings were presented today after dominant cause, scientists say. The

:13:53. > :13:59.thousands of scientific reports were studied, resented with a warning.

:13:59. > :14:07.Climate change is the greatest challenge of our time. The panel's

:14:07. > :14:11.message will be sent to the world's governments. We know the nature of

:14:11. > :14:15.the problem and the options for governments. We know the nature of

:14:15. > :14:22.addressing it. The heat is on, we must act. There is barely room for

:14:22. > :14:25.doubt. The climate has wandered humans are primarily responsible.

:14:25. > :14:30.There is one thing puzzling scientists here dashed temperatures

:14:30. > :14:34.have not increased since 1998. Does that mean climate change has paused?

:14:34. > :14:37.have not increased since 1998. Does Here is the surface temperature

:14:37. > :14:45.graph measured yearly, showing a steady rise in the 1950s, but an

:14:45. > :14:48.apparent pause since 1998. If you measure the temperature by 10-year

:14:48. > :14:53.periods it is different. Each of the last few decades is warmer than the

:14:53. > :14:58.one before, so temperature is still rising in the long term. Looking at

:14:59. > :15:04.the surface temperature over such a short period does not tell us how

:15:04. > :15:10.the climate system as a whole is changing. Sea levels are continuing

:15:10. > :15:14.to rise, ice has been melting, so climate change is continuing even

:15:14. > :15:19.though, for a short period, the surface temperature has not risen.

:15:19. > :15:24.On current trends, heat waves will be more common as temperature rises

:15:24. > :15:29.two Celsius by the end of the century. So will be sort of floods

:15:29. > :15:33.that recently tore through Colorado, and sea levels will rise

:15:33. > :15:38.as climate change affects even in the UK. The global part is will

:15:38. > :15:44.bring changes locally, changes in rainfall, temperature and the

:15:44. > :15:48.weather that everybody will experience. This has implications

:15:48. > :15:54.for the way that we use and consume energy in the UK and 12 cell --

:15:54. > :15:58.elsewhere. Supercomputers like these in the Met Office project that the

:15:58. > :16:04.Gulf Stream might weaken, making Britain cooler. People sceptical

:16:04. > :16:10.about climate change do not trust the computer models. Are they right?

:16:10. > :16:15.One fundamental difficulty is we can never truly test the models until we

:16:15. > :16:20.have a time machine, a way of jumping forward 100 years and

:16:20. > :16:23.saying, did we get it right? That is always the limitation of climate

:16:23. > :16:27.science, there is nothing we can do, but we can test the models for the

:16:27. > :16:32.last hundred years and be testing them all the time. Protesters fear

:16:32. > :16:36.the ice will keep on melting as politicians struggle to turn down

:16:36. > :16:43.the fossil fuels heating the climate.

:16:43. > :16:53.Plenty more on this on the BBC News website.

:16:53. > :17:00.You can apply for shares in Royal Mail from today, although the

:17:00. > :17:02.company is already effectively privatised as big investment

:17:02. > :17:06.institutions have committed to buy shares more than the minimum number

:17:06. > :17:11.of shares the government wants to sell. The government has valued

:17:11. > :17:19.Royal Mail at between £2.6 billion and £3.3 billion, meaning shares

:17:19. > :17:25.will be offered at between £2.60 and £3.30. But if you want them, you

:17:25. > :17:29.need to buy a minimum of £750 worth. This coincides with the start of a

:17:29. > :17:35.ballot by postal workers about whether to take strike action.

:17:35. > :17:37.Millions rely upon Royal Mail, a vast business which has been hit by

:17:37. > :17:40.an industrial action over the years vast business which has been hit by

:17:40. > :17:46.but has been turned around. Now you can even have a stake in it.

:17:46. > :17:50.It has been modernised but it is one of Britain's biggest businesses and

:17:50. > :17:55.probably the only one that can't access new capital. From today,

:17:55. > :18:00.people will apply to buy shares, it will have access to capital and the

:18:00. > :18:06.ability to invest in its own future. Anyone can apply from shares online,

:18:06. > :18:10.through a stockbroker, or you can get details from any Post Offices.

:18:10. > :18:16.Even the Government thinks Royal Mail could be a risky investment

:18:16. > :18:20.than many private aged -- privatisations of the past. It faces

:18:20. > :18:25.industrial action. Valid papers went out today in a dispute linked to pay

:18:26. > :18:30.and conditions. Dominic Beck, a union rep in south London, says even

:18:30. > :18:36.shares for staff will not prevent a vote for strikes. Are we getting

:18:36. > :18:40.some shares now in order to sell our terms and conditions further down

:18:40. > :18:44.the line? I don't want to thousand pounds now, or whatever figure it

:18:44. > :18:50.will be, if I won't have a job in three years. That will not pay my

:18:50. > :18:53.mortgage. Letter volumes are falling, but its parcels business is

:18:53. > :19:02.booming. Profit margins are expect to almost double in the coming

:19:02. > :19:06.years, so there is little wonder that investors had committed to

:19:06. > :19:11.buying the shares. Under some circumstances it looks cheap. If

:19:11. > :19:16.Royal Mail is able to cut costs and become more efficient, keep its

:19:16. > :19:21.market share, then with the internet retail boom and all that entails, it

:19:21. > :19:25.could really have a licence to print money. Labour says the sell-off will

:19:25. > :19:30.put services at risk for the sake of a quick buck, but a majority stake

:19:30. > :19:32.in Royal Mail will be sold within three weeks, that is before any

:19:32. > :19:35.strikes can happen. The Prime Minister has confirmed

:19:35. > :19:39.that the Government will bring in a tax break for married couples before

:19:39. > :19:46.the next election. They say it'll be a £1,000 transferable tax allowance.

:19:46. > :19:52.Our political correspondent Vicki Young is in Westminster. Vicki, what

:19:52. > :19:57.more do we know? Many Tory MPs have called for this for many years. They

:19:57. > :20:00.say a lot of help is offered towards parents and their childcare costs,

:20:00. > :20:06.but what if one of the couple stays at home to look after the children?

:20:06. > :20:08.This will be applied to those where neither of the couple is a higher

:20:08. > :20:13.This will be applied to those where rate taxpayer and it will apply to

:20:13. > :20:28.gay married couples and those in civil partnerships David Cameron

:20:28. > :20:30.says marriage is the old would form of commitment under the law and we

:20:30. > :20:34.says marriage is the old would form want to show support. One campaign

:20:34. > :20:39.group has reacted tonight, saying the Tories are promoting a fantasy

:20:39. > :20:41.1950s family. The Lib Dems say if there is money to go around, it

:20:41. > :20:47.1950s family. The Lib Dems say if should be used for tax cuts for

:20:47. > :20:49.working families, but under the coalition agreement they will not

:20:49. > :20:52.block this move. The Church of England is to hold a

:20:52. > :20:55.stake in more than 300 bank branches being sold off by Royal Bank of

:20:55. > :20:59.Scotland. The branches will trade under the name Williams and Glyn's.
