:00:57. > :01:00.Or come to GMT with me, Zeinab Badawi. Tensions amongst EU leaders

:01:00. > :01:03.as they struggle to find a way forward on the eurozone crisis.

:01:03. > :01:05.France accuses Britain of unnecessary meddling. And we have a

:01:05. > :01:15.special report from Zambia to look at the impact of its soaring birth

:01:15. > :01:23.

:01:23. > :01:26.weight. -- birth rate. In Turkey, rescue

:01:26. > :01:29.teams are desperately searching for survivors after the region was hit

:01:29. > :01:32.by a powerful earthquake on Sunday. As they move through the disaster

:01:32. > :01:35.area, the number of victims keeps going up. It now stands at more

:01:35. > :01:37.than 260 killed and 1,300 injured. There's also concern for the tens

:01:37. > :01:40.of thousands who spent the night outside, in freezing temperatures.

:01:40. > :01:46.With all the very latest, here is our world affairs correspondent,

:01:46. > :01:53.It is a race against time. Rescuers are cutting through layers of

:01:53. > :01:59.concrete and steel. At last, they reach this man. Incredibly, still

:01:59. > :02:05.alive, still able to move his arm. They question him and he shakes his

:02:05. > :02:15.head. Gently, they pull him out. One lucky survivor in a sea of

:02:15. > :02:15.

:02:15. > :02:19.devastation. Out of the rubble, another man is rushed to hospital.

:02:19. > :02:23.In Ercis, the multi-storey buildings became so deadly.

:02:23. > :02:28.Thousands collapsed like packs of cards. People had to fend for

:02:28. > :02:32.themselves for hours before rescue teams reach this remote area --

:02:32. > :02:36.dozens collapsed. We were trapped under debris with my brother. I was

:02:36. > :02:40.pulled out but he is still trapped there. These buildings were no

:02:40. > :02:44.match for the force of the earthquake. Two cities and many

:02:44. > :02:48.villages are in ruins. Power and water supplies are cut off and many

:02:48. > :02:51.residents can do little more than endure the agonising wait.

:02:51. > :02:56.situation is really bad, many of our friends and relatives are still

:02:56. > :03:00.trapped, we haven't heard from any of them. The Turkish Prime Minister

:03:01. > :03:05.travelled to visit the injured in hospital. This is a Kurdish region

:03:05. > :03:10.and Mr Erdogan will be acutely aware of allegations the government

:03:10. > :03:14.has been slow to react. Terror of damaged buildings has driven

:03:14. > :03:19.thousands out into the cold, sleeping where they can. Tents,

:03:19. > :03:23.blankets and he does have at last begun to arrive. Family's -- and

:03:23. > :03:28.heaters. Families who found shelter may have to live like this for

:03:28. > :03:32.months. Funerals have already got under way. There are fears, with so

:03:32. > :03:37.many unaccounted for, the death toll will rise. Eastern Turkey is

:03:37. > :03:42.prone to earthquakes. There will be many questions over why so many new

:03:42. > :03:46.buildings collapsed. For now, the focus is on the people buried here,

:03:46. > :03:56.and trying to get them out. In the middle of so much tragedy, there

:03:56. > :03:56.

:03:56. > :04:01.are miracles. Rescue teams find a toddler who is alive.

:04:01. > :04:06.We had to be talking to one of our correspondents in Turkey -- we hope

:04:06. > :04:16.to be talking. In the meantime, let's see some of the other stories

:04:16. > :04:21.

:04:21. > :04:23.making headlines. At least 14 people have been wounded in a

:04:23. > :04:27.grenade attack on a nightclub in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi. It

:04:27. > :04:29.comes just a few days after the US embassy in Kenya warned of an

:04:29. > :04:31.imminent threat of terrorist attacks directed at prominent

:04:31. > :04:33.Kenyan facilities and areas popular with tourists. Thailand's prime

:04:33. > :04:35.minister has warned that flooding, which has hit the country, could

:04:35. > :04:39.last for another six weeks. At least five major industrial zones

:04:39. > :04:44.north of Bangkok have already been swamped. More than 350 people have

:04:44. > :04:49.died across the country so far. 10 days of mourning have been

:04:49. > :04:59.announced after the death of Pakistan's former first lady, Begum

:04:59. > :05:00.

:05:00. > :05:03.Nusrat Bhutto. She was the widow of Zulfikar Bhutto who founded the

:05:03. > :05:05.Pakistan People's Party. European leaders are still

:05:05. > :05:09.grappling with efforts to prevent the financial crisis from

:05:09. > :05:13.spiralling out of control even more. They say progress have been made

:05:13. > :05:17.but more work is needed before Wednesday, when a definitive plan

:05:17. > :05:20.is expected to be announced. The major issues of how to resolve

:05:20. > :05:26.Greece first past the post debt mountain and to determine the size

:05:26. > :05:31.and nature of the bail-out fund is still under debate.

:05:31. > :05:36.Late into the night once again, they met. Europe's leaders insist

:05:36. > :05:40.that in three more days, they will have a solution to the debt crisis.

:05:40. > :05:45.Germany's Angela Merkel and France's Nicolas Sarkozy are at the

:05:45. > :05:49.centre of the deal being drawn up. They have argued in recent days

:05:49. > :05:55.about the way forward. This weekend they publicly presented a united

:05:55. > :06:00.front. TRANSLATION: Will battling a problem that has existed for

:06:00. > :06:07.decades. It has nothing to do with the currency crisis but with a debt

:06:07. > :06:10.crisis. Wednesday will not be the last step in this matter. There are

:06:10. > :06:15.three big issues that need resolving, if Europe is to stand

:06:16. > :06:20.any chance of emerging from this crisis. Banks hold a lot of dodgy

:06:20. > :06:25.debt and need strengthening. There is agreement on that, at least. But

:06:25. > :06:29.there is only some movement on what to do about Greece's debt, and they

:06:29. > :06:35.are still considering two options on how to improve Europe's bail-out

:06:35. > :06:40.fund. As one source put it, the discussions on that bail-out fund,

:06:40. > :06:45.the EFSF, are still a mess. Coming to a workable economic solution is

:06:45. > :06:51.difficult enough but arriving at a political compromise that can also

:06:51. > :06:55.work is turning out to be nigh on impossible. The big, long term

:06:55. > :06:59.issue is getting Europe's stagnating economy growing again.

:06:59. > :07:04.On that, Europe's leaders believe they have put a workable strategy

:07:04. > :07:08.in place. They also pushed ahead with measures to improve the

:07:08. > :07:13.monitoring of eurozone government budgets. That is designed to ensure

:07:13. > :07:21.our debt levels never get this high again. But staving off the next

:07:21. > :07:26.crisis is one thing -- designed to ensure European debt levels never

:07:26. > :07:29.get this high again. Officials in charge of Tunisia's

:07:29. > :07:32.historic free and fair elections say the response from voters

:07:32. > :07:37.exceeded all expectations. The turnout amongst the 4 million

:07:37. > :07:42.people who registered to vote was more than 90%. Voters are now

:07:42. > :07:47.electing a new assembly which will rewrite the country's constitution

:07:47. > :07:53.and appoint an interim President. For the first time in a Tunisian

:07:53. > :07:57.election, there has been a sense of suspense. Gone are the transparent

:07:57. > :08:02.envelopes and ballot boxes to ensure voters chose the bright red

:08:02. > :08:08.cards of President Ben Ali's party. Instead, over 100 political parties

:08:08. > :08:12.to choose from. And a lot of emotion about having that choice.

:08:12. > :08:21.So, after the first real vote in the country, there was another

:08:21. > :08:24.first for Tunisia. A real count. An army of newly trained volunteers,

:08:24. > :08:29.working across the country, counting votes in the very rooms in

:08:29. > :08:34.which they were cast, in order to avoid an opportunity for fraud as

:08:34. > :08:38.they were transported, in trying to get the results out quickly. They

:08:38. > :08:43.were armed with the new guidelines. This, after all, is an election

:08:43. > :08:47.that has been set up from scratch in just nine months. Later on

:08:47. > :08:52.Monday, the Election Commission will announce the official results.

:08:53. > :09:02.Then, for the assembly, the real work of writing a constitution, and

:09:02. > :09:11.establishing Tunisia's own brand of democracy really begins.

:09:11. > :09:14.Still to come, they lived each other's lives for 12 years. We talk

:09:14. > :09:23.to two Russian girls to have just found out they were swapped at

:09:23. > :09:28.birth. Let's get the business news. Ben

:09:28. > :09:33.Thompson is here. Markets are reacting to all this eurozone

:09:33. > :09:37.crisis, the summit expected on Wednesday again, what have they

:09:37. > :09:42.been thinking? It has been a bit of a nervous rider for the markets,

:09:42. > :09:46.reacting to any bit of news that comes out of the eurozone. It seems

:09:46. > :09:49.there is confidence that a deal will be done ahead of this crucial

:09:49. > :09:54.summit on Wednesday. Some are calling it nervous and also

:09:54. > :09:59.cautious optimism, that it might happen. We have heard of this

:09:59. > :10:03.before. Now suggestions that time is running out. We are also hearing

:10:03. > :10:07.there are concerns about where this money comes from. There are lot of

:10:07. > :10:13.fears about where this money will come from for the stability fund,

:10:13. > :10:16.the EFSF, but also to recapitalise the banks themselves. While the

:10:16. > :10:20.leaders might be deciding they are going to be put in this money in, a

:10:21. > :10:25.lot of concerns about where it will come from, and one place it could

:10:25. > :10:30.come from are the emerging economies. I was told that the

:10:30. > :10:34.fast-growing economies like China have a role to play. Most of these

:10:34. > :10:39.emerging markets have a very decent level of debt, a low level of debt

:10:39. > :10:42.compared to the eurozone. So yes, they have money. But they are also

:10:42. > :10:48.interested by the business environment. Countries like China

:10:48. > :10:54.and Brazil, interested in funding a potentially risk free plan for

:10:54. > :11:00.Europe. These countries' export a lot of raw material to the eurozone.

:11:00. > :11:03.A eurozone in good shape is very important. We are hearing that

:11:03. > :11:07.Japan is finally getting back on its feet after what has been a

:11:08. > :11:14.tough ride in the wake of the earthquake and tsunami, that really

:11:14. > :11:18.did affect production. We're hearing that exports are rising

:11:18. > :11:23.2.8% to 78 billion. The importance of manufacturing, and everything

:11:23. > :11:28.that goes on in Japan, we see it in the UK. The knock-on effect it had

:11:28. > :11:32.on car-making, for example. One economist told us that the health

:11:32. > :11:37.of the Japanese economy is vital for the health of Asia as a whole.

:11:37. > :11:41.Japan is still the third largest economy in the world. We are also a

:11:41. > :11:47.very large purchase or as well as exporter. Our relationship with

:11:47. > :11:51.China is very firm, we are complementing each other. It gives

:11:51. > :11:55.a good buzz to the Asian area, the core of growth we are seeing

:11:55. > :11:59.throughout the world. The negativity we are seeing is from

:11:59. > :12:06.the eurozone and also in the United States. This is what those markets

:12:06. > :12:10.are doing. The FTSE 100, pretty flat on the day. France, Germany

:12:10. > :12:15.and Italy, reacting to what they hope will be the end of the euro

:12:15. > :12:19.debt crisis, or hopes that decisions will be made by Wednesday.

:12:19. > :12:29.Ongoing fears about where that money may come from. More details

:12:29. > :12:34.

:12:34. > :12:38.You are watching GMT from BBC World News. I am Zeinab Badawi, these are

:12:38. > :12:42.the top hat lines. The search for survivors continues

:12:42. > :12:47.in eastern Turkey after an earthquake killed more than 260

:12:47. > :12:50.people, and many more people remain trapped under the rubble. President

:12:51. > :12:54.Nicolas Sarkozy of France has angrily accused the British Prime

:12:54. > :13:03.Minister, David Cameron, of interfering in the eurozone crisis.

:13:03. > :13:08.He said he is sick of British Let's talk more about those

:13:08. > :13:13.eurozone discussions. EU leaders are due to meet again on Wednesday,

:13:13. > :13:18.to try to find a way forward on tackling the eurozone's massive

:13:19. > :13:23.debt crisis. Robert Peston has joined us. Let's pick up on Nicolas

:13:23. > :13:28.Sarkozy sounding quite angry with Britain, saying don't interfere,

:13:28. > :13:32.you are not in the eurozone crisis. How credible is that position?

:13:32. > :13:39.think it reflects the stress that all eurozone leaders are currently

:13:39. > :13:44.feeling. Because they are confronting a very serious crisis,

:13:44. > :13:50.in terms of the eurozone's finances, and they haven't got a solution yet.

:13:50. > :13:54.I slightly feel that David Cameron, the outburst, was more of a

:13:54. > :14:01.reflection of his general exasperation. The basic point is

:14:01. > :14:05.that the UK is not in the eurozone, and boasts how much better of it is

:14:05. > :14:08.not being in the eurozone, so you can understand why a eurozone

:14:08. > :14:13.member might say, this is our problem and unless you have

:14:13. > :14:18.something constructive to say, bolt off, as it were. The other side of

:14:18. > :14:22.that, there are three elements to the proposed rescue package. One of

:14:22. > :14:27.those elements is something that affects all European Union members.

:14:27. > :14:33.It is a strengthening of the banks. There will be 108 billion euros and

:14:33. > :14:40.new capital injected into the banks as a result of this rescue package.

:14:40. > :14:44.That element is not just for eurozone banks but banks throughout

:14:44. > :14:50.the European Union. For that reason, David Cameron has a legitimate

:14:50. > :14:55.reason to be at the meeting on Wednesday. But that aside, the real

:14:55. > :14:59.heart of the issue is what France and Germany want to do about

:14:59. > :15:04.tackling the eurozone crisis, and specifically about Greece boss debt,

:15:04. > :15:08.because French banks are very exposed to that -- Greece's debt.

:15:08. > :15:11.We have heard the concern about whether money is coming from for

:15:11. > :15:16.this rescue. In a fundamental sense, we know it is coming from Germany

:15:16. > :15:20.and France, there is nowhere else for it to come from. They are very

:15:20. > :15:24.worried about the scale of liability that would be heaped on

:15:24. > :15:28.their economy from the other really important element of the rescue

:15:29. > :15:34.plan, apart from strengthening the banks, which is expanding the size

:15:34. > :15:38.of this bail-out fund. The bail-out fund does not have enough money

:15:38. > :15:42.right now to deal with a problem that could easily arise if a

:15:42. > :15:48.country like Italy was unable to borrow on markets. Italy could

:15:48. > :15:52.easily be shut out of markets and therefore, to reassure the world's

:15:52. > :15:56.investors that it really wouldn't topple over, this bail-out fund has

:15:56. > :16:00.to have its resources multiplied by four or five times -- that it

:16:00. > :16:04.really wouldn't topple over. They are negotiating the technical

:16:04. > :16:08.details of how to do it, but it is amazingly difficult to come up with

:16:08. > :16:13.a plan that wouldn't be perceived of putting too much of a burden on

:16:13. > :16:17.front. The risk for France is in helping Italy, its own finances

:16:17. > :16:20.will be perceived to be weaker and it could lose its triple-A rating,

:16:20. > :16:26.and that would create a whole new series of headaches for the

:16:26. > :16:36.eurozone. You can see why, coming up with a solution is so difficult,

:16:36. > :16:37.

:16:37. > :16:40.because one answer tends to create Thank you very much. The world is

:16:40. > :16:45.watching to see how Libya develops now that Colonel Gaddafi is dead

:16:45. > :16:48.and the country has been declared liberated. The National

:16:48. > :16:54.Transitional Council has begun moving its base from Benghazi to

:16:54. > :16:59.the carpeted, Tripoli and has set itself a deadline of eight Munster

:16:59. > :17:03.hold its first phase of elections. It's still has to announce the fate

:17:03. > :17:13.of Colonel Gaddafi's body and there is growing unease that his corpse

:17:13. > :17:14.

:17:14. > :17:18.is still on display in his rata. -- Ms rata. Any word of when Colonel

:17:18. > :17:24.Gaddafi's body may be given up? There have been reports that it

:17:24. > :17:28.might be handed up -- over to his tribe. Absolutely. Those are the

:17:28. > :17:34.reports that if we are hearing as well. But nothing about the exact

:17:34. > :17:39.timings. It is now four days since Colonel Gaddafi died. His body is

:17:39. > :17:43.still lying in that cold storage unit as you say. Libyans continued

:17:43. > :17:48.to queue up to take mobile phone pictures of themselves with their

:17:48. > :17:56.former dictator's body. Many of them are having to hold crossover

:17:56. > :18:06.there Knowles's because of the smell. International concern

:18:06. > :18:07.

:18:07. > :18:12.continuing over how Colonel Gaddafi died. Was he executed? Was he

:18:12. > :18:18.caught in the crossfire as had been the official explanation? We have

:18:18. > :18:21.heard from a chief pathologist. He would be -- will be revealing the

:18:21. > :18:26.findings as soon as he gets his orders. Everybody is waiting for

:18:26. > :18:29.that. Inside Libya, talking to the Libyans on the streets, they are

:18:29. > :18:36.clearing up after the massive jubilant liberation celebrations

:18:36. > :18:45.yesterday afternoon and last night. They are more focused on the day

:18:45. > :18:48.today workings of the country. are in Tripoli. The National

:18:48. > :18:52.Transitional Council has begun moving towards the capital to fully

:18:52. > :18:59.established themselves as the interim authority. What is their

:18:59. > :19:04.next move? You are right. To fully establish themselves as the

:19:04. > :19:07.transitional authority. But who will be the figurehead? Those at

:19:07. > :19:11.the top of the transitional council up until now always said that after

:19:11. > :19:15.the formal declaration of liberation, they would stand down.

:19:15. > :19:19.And there would be discussions to create the new transitional council.

:19:19. > :19:26.We have heard from the chairman of the best the outgoing chairman

:19:26. > :19:29.today. He has said just now actually before speaking to you

:19:29. > :19:37.that they are expecting an announcement on that in a

:19:37. > :19:40.fortnight's time. And then in eight months' time, the election for a

:19:40. > :19:44.national council which is expected to draw up a constitution for the

:19:44. > :19:51.new Libya and which will be put to a referendum in the country. A long

:19:51. > :19:56.road ahead but Libyans say they are ready for it. Thank you very much.

:19:56. > :20:00.Still awaiting news on what will happen to Colonel Gaddafi's body.

:20:00. > :20:04.Next week, the United Nations will announce that the world's

:20:04. > :20:07.population has reached 7 billion. It is a little more than a decade

:20:07. > :20:11.since the global population stood at 6 billion. The number of people

:20:11. > :20:15.on the planet is rising by around 80 million every year. The United

:20:15. > :20:23.Nations is warning that rapid population growth is threatening

:20:23. > :20:28.many poorer countries, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. This report

:20:28. > :20:32.from Zambia in southern Africa. Its population is projected to triple
