Talks are taking place in Vienna between the US and Iran - | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
ahead of a widely anticipated announcement that international | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
sanctions against Iran will be lifted. | :00:30. | :00:31. | |
The international nuclear watchdog, the IAEA, is expected to rule that | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
Iran has scaled back its atomic programme - | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
confirmation of which will trigger the lifting of sanctions. | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
This afternoon, Iran said it had released four prisoners with dual | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
US-Iranian nationality, as part of a prisoner exchange | :00:47. | :00:47. | |
Our Diplomatic Correspondent Bridget Kendall is in Vienna for us tonight. | :00:48. | :00:59. | |
Yes, all day here at the UN headquarters in Vienna there has | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
been an atmosphere of anticipation and excitement, waiting for that | :01:06. | :01:07. | |
announcement that Iran has done enough on its nuclear programme to | :01:08. | :01:13. | |
have sanctions lifted. The reigning Foreign Minister is here, the | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
European representative on foreign affairs, John Kerry, US Secretary of | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
State is in the mix. We're still waiting for that announcement but in | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
the meantime there's been another dramatic announcement. The one you | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
mentioned, of the prisoner swap, which, surely, wasn't unrelated. | :01:30. | :01:36. | |
Released today from captivity for allegedly plotting against the | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
Iranians state, Washington Post reporter Jason. Along with three | :01:41. | :01:48. | |
other Iranians American captives. And a fourth man. All freed in a | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
dramatic prisoner swap with the United States. On the very day the | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
Iranians Foreign Minister came to Vienna for the other expected | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
momentous news, that Iran has cut back its nuclear programme enough to | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
get years of crippling international sanctions lifted. Today is the day | :02:10. | :02:16. | |
we prove to the world that threats, sanctions, intimidation, pressure, | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
don't work. Respect works. Through respect, through dialogue, through | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
negotiations, we can, in fact, which mutually acceptable solutions. In | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
terror and they followed the latest news closely. Dissensions have | :02:31. | :02:38. | |
banned not just trade, but even moving money around. Now, in one big | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
sweep, the world is lifting most of the restrictions. TRANSLATION: Of | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
course people's economic situation will become much better. Now there's | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
a lot of pressure on people, too much, everyone has two jobs. If | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
sanctions are lifted we can have low prices. Inflation will go down and | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
this will help the quality-of-life for people in Iran. Some sanctions | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
will remain, but overall this is a significant milestone. A promise of | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
the end of years of isolation for Iran, its oil can now start to flow | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
out again and investors can dive in. Once they've got the confidence that | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
the sanctions' winter is well and truly over. | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
We're still waiting for the announcement to happen here. We know | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
exactly what it'll be, there will be a report from the UN atomic agency | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
confirming Iran has done enough on its nuclear programme, it'll | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
trigger, it'll be a green light, for sanctions to be lifted. We know | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
there will be a statement from the Iranians Foreign Minister alongside | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
the European foreign policy chief. It could be an anti-climax, we know | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
exactly what will happen and which sanctions will be lifted but one | :03:53. | :03:54. | |
shouldn't underestimate the portions of this moment. It's the minute Iran | :03:55. | :04:01. | |
comes in from the cold, it'll open its doors and flood oil on the world | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
stage, around the world, countries will be able to do business with | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
Iran again. Beyond that, as the prisoner swap joke today, there is a | :04:10. | :04:19. | |
diplomatic dimension, the balance of power and relations could be | :04:20. | :04:21. | |
dramatically altered globally. Bridget Kendall. | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
At least 26 people, including a number of foreigners, | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
have been killed and dozens injured in a gun attack by Islamist | :04:31. | :04:32. | |
extremists on a hotel in the West African state of Burkina | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
120 hostages were freed after local troops - | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
backed by French special forces - stormed the building. | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
A group linked to Al Qaeda has claimed responsibility. | :04:41. | :04:42. | |
It took place in Burkina Faso's capital | :04:43. | :04:44. | |
Ouagadougou in a luxury hotel popular with Westerners. | :04:45. | :04:46. | |
Our Correspondent Thomas Fessy reports from there. | :04:47. | :04:56. | |
This is when government troops backed by French special forces | :04:57. | :05:05. | |
finally retook control of the Hotel. Dramatic scenes right in the centre | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
of the capital city. The terrified guests were evacuated after a long | :05:11. | :05:18. | |
night in hiding. It all began on Friday evening around supper time. | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
Al-Qaeda militants stormed the splendid hotel and a cafe across the | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
street. Both popular with UN staff and foreigners. TRANSLATION: They | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
started shooting, shooting and everybody lay down on the ground. As | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
soon as you lifted your head you would get shot straightaway so you | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
had to pretend to be dead. They even came to touch our feed to tell if we | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
were alive. Soldiers has no other option but to fight back here. There | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
was no negotiation. The jihadists didn't come to take hostages, they | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
came to kill. TRANSLATION: When they left they set fire to the place, the | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
smoke started to suffocate me and the other survivors. Some reports | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
suggest at least two women were among the four militants killed in | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
the rescue operation. More than 100 people were freed. We're not allowed | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
to go any further than this security cordon but even from here we can see | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
traces of the attack. We've seen soldiers and investigators going in | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
and out of the hotel, but the authorities say they have the | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
situation under control and they've called on people to stay calm. We | :06:29. | :06:35. | |
appeal to the people to be vigilant and brace because we must fight on | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
and learn to live with terrorist acts in our daily lives. It's the | :06:40. | :06:47. | |
first time this country scarred by a jihadi attack of such a scale, just | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
under two months after the same group carried out a similar attack | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
in neighbouring Mali, what they've shown here is that they remain a | :06:56. | :06:57. | |
threat for the whole region. Companies could be banned | :06:58. | :07:01. | |

to clamp down on the trade. But however perilous waters, | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
the desperate continue to come. As the Middle East's tragedy plays | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
out on Europe's borders. England's cricketers have won | :08:54. | :09:01. | |
the Test series against South Africa - with a resounding 7 wicket | :09:02. | :09:03. | |
victory in Johannesburg. Man of the match Stuart Broad took 6 | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
wickets for just 17 runs - as the home team were bowled out | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
for 83 in their second innings. It left England needing | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
just 74 to win. A series victory at the home of the | :09:15. | :09:26. | |
world's best. This England side once again reaching spectacular new | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
heights. Still, all that seemed a long way off as Joe Root returned to | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
the crease this morning. His wicket began an England batting collapse of | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
sorts, quite literally here in the case of Moeen Ali. The last five | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
lost quickly as conditions swung back towards the bowlers. England's | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
lead a mere ten runs. This match and the series was about to turn once | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
more, this time decisively. The England pace attack relentless, | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
unforgiving. Stuart Broad's first wicket. When he finds his rhythm | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
thereafter you more destructive anywhere else in the world. A B de | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
Villiers, the South African captain, couldn't cope with him. Others | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
simply tried to get out of his way, the result is the same. Broad took | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
five wickets for a single South African man. They ended the innings | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
on 83. An extraordinary day finishing as it began, Joe Root at | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
the crease steering England towards a quite remarkable victory. | :10:24. | :10:25. |
