Live in Washington in a moment, President Obama is going to speak | :00:08. | :00:15. | |
The point is, isolators cannot hide and next message to them is simple, | :00:16. | :00:24. | |
you are next. Also: Angela Merkel says Germany has | :00:25. | :00:26. | |
been doing the right thing by letting in thousands | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
of migrants and refugees, I'll play you some | :00:30. | :00:31. | |
of that statement. An Australian court has banned some | :00:32. | :00:37. | |
types of Nurofen because they claim to be different but in fact | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
are the same. The new Stars wars film premieres | :00:41. | :00:42. | |
later. It's certain to make lots of money - | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
we'll look at how all the different Plus we have a strange story from a | :00:48. | :01:11. | |
French school who claimed there was an Islamic stabbing, that turned out | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
to be nothing of the sort. Here is some of what President Obama | :01:15. | :01:37. | |
said earlier. As I said before, Isil is dug in, including in urban areas | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
and the high behind civilians, using defenceless men, women and children | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
as human seals -- Shields. We need to be smart, targeting them | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
surgically with precision. At the same time our partners on the ground | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
are rooting them out time by time, locked padlock. That is what this | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
campaign is doing. We are hitting them harder than ever. Coalition | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
aircraft, firefighters, bombers and drums have been increasing the rate | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
of air strikes. Last month in November we dropped more bombs on | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
Isil targets since this campaign started. We are taking out Isil | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
leaders, by one. Back in 2008, Barack Obama | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
defeated John McCain in the run to the right -- the White House. John | :02:30. | :02:41. | |
McCain says that his strategy has failed. Did you hear anything new | :02:42. | :02:57. | |
today? More firepower, special operations, that is only stepped it | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
up. He did not have anything new to add to that list today. The message | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
from the White House is that we are doing better than you think. The | :03:07. | :03:13. | |
fight against IIS is having an impact, they are losing ground, we | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
are making progress, we are bombing their bomb-making factories and we | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
are getting their top guys. I had a similar thing senior state | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
department official over the weekend that this is our concerted effort by | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
the White House address to the American public, you might not think | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
we are making progress, the new sounds bad, but on the ground we are | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
having success. Looking at social media, there is an ABC News | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
executive saying it is OK to talk about Iraq and Syria, but Islamic | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
State has also struck in Tunisia, Egypt, France and maybe even in | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
California. Yes, that's the Department official did say to me | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
the trouble that they are seeing, but there are most worried about, is | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
as they kept them in a rack and Syria, where they say they are | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
managing to shut that border with Turkey, making it harder for them to | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
go in and out of Syria, what they are most worried about is they are | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
seeing an influx of Islamic radicals into Libya. They are putting | :04:17. | :04:23. | |
pressure on them and Syria and Iraq, they are moving over to Libya. And | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
the political dynamics in Washington, presumably there is a | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
point of which are president ceases to be as relevant as the two | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
contenders trying to take over from him. Yes, to some extent. Barack | :04:36. | :04:45. | |
Obama came into office absolutely determined to end the waters of | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
America in the Middle East. The last thing he wants to do is commit more | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
ground troops on a big scale before he leaves office. You can control | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
that. The message from the White House is we are having success is | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
that we are not proposing big numbers of American forces in | :05:05. | :05:12. | |
another war in the Middle East. If you are watching outside of the UK | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
you will see her at the top of the hour on BBC world News. Let's turn | :05:17. | :05:25. | |
to an otherworldly cutter -- and other world leader. | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
Angela Merkel been talking at her party's annual conference - | :05:30. | :05:31. | |
a number of important lines - she says Germnay has helped averted | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
a humanitarian disaster by taking in so many refugees. | :05:35. | :05:46. | |
TRANSLATION: we will noticeably reduced the number of refugees | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
because it is in the interest of everyone. It is in Germany's | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
interest to help us deal with the accommodation of refugees and their | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
integration into society and the labour market. It is in your's | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
interest because of our relationship with Europe and a role in the world | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
and, dear friends, it is in the interests of the refugees themselves | :06:10. | :06:11. | |
because nobody, no matter why they make the journey, thoughtlessly | :06:12. | :06:13. | |
leaves his home. More than than 750,000 migrants | :06:14. | :06:24. | |
and refugees have entered But last month Macedonia and Serbia | :06:25. | :06:33. | |
introduced tougher border controls - only Syrians, | :06:34. | :06:44. | |
Iraqis and Afghans were That meant thousands | :06:45. | :06:46. | |
were getting stuck in Greece. Well, the EU is trying | :06:47. | :06:59. | |
to help ease that pressure. Now the European Union has agreed | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
to spend 80 million euros subsidising accommodation | :07:03. | :07:04. | |
for migrants in Greece. From Athens - Nick Thorpe | :07:05. | :07:15. | |
sent this report. Athens is becoming a dumping ground | :07:16. | :07:24. | |
for the migrants that the European Union does not want. Several strife | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
-- several thousand stranded here, with many more arriving every day. | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
Some are even thinking of giving up and going home. They have got stuck. | :07:36. | :07:43. | |
They don't have any way to go. They know that their time is up. This | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
stadium is a temporary, uncomfortable shelter for many. They | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
have been forced back to happen is by the partial closure of Greece's | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
Northern border with Macedonia. The authorities have been overwhelmed. | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
There are tensions between different nationalities and the migrants have | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
to leave by Wednesday to make way for the next sports event. Victoria | :08:06. | :08:15. | |
Square in Athens is another place where migrants gathered to seek | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
solutions. Some arrange for money to be sent here by relatives, to buy | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
fake documents or pay smugglers. Others will try once again to go | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
north. The people who have just boarded this bus are on their way to | :08:32. | :08:38. | |
the Greek -Macedonian border. That is a reflection of this difficult | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
situation here in Greece. Many people are trapped in this country, | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
some are being allowed on to this bus and there is no information | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
about what the next they will bring. Buses arrive to bring people back to | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
the stadium for the night. Where is this bus going? They told us they | :08:56. | :09:02. | |
are taking us to camp. It is a safe camp. | :09:03. | :09:13. | |
Chris Chester handled this crisis by letting the migrants leave, but now | :09:14. | :09:26. | |
they have to find shelter for them. Tim Peake is going to fly to the | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
International Space Station. Allard Ghosh is there. | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
If he is nervous, he did not show it. | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
As he gave his last press conference on planet Earth along | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
What is the thing you're most looking forward to personally once | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
It really has to be the view of planet Earth and as much | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
as I have spoken to flown astronauts and as much advice as they have | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
given me, I do not think anything can truly prepare you for that | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
moment that will occur in the Soyuz spacecraft once we get | :10:03. | :10:04. | |
injected into orbit and I will be able to look out out of the right | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
window and see that wonderful view of planet Earth. | :10:09. | :10:15. | |
This is what he will see as he approaches | :10:16. | :10:17. | |
He will be in orbit 250 miles above Earth | :10:18. | :10:24. | |
Tim was selected for Europe's astronaut corps six years ago. | :10:25. | :10:35. | |
Since then, his training has involved surviving in a cave | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
He's got what it takes, according to an astronaut | :10:39. | :10:49. | |
He is of course a good pilot as well so he has got good | :10:50. | :10:59. | |
The launch will be from the cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. | :11:00. | :11:09. | |
It is where the human exploration of space began. | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
More than 50 years ago, Yuri Gagarin, the first man to go | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
Soon, Tim Peake will follow in his footsteps on his | :11:18. | :11:23. | |
Yuri Gagarin's flight marked the beginning | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
With a wave goodbye, Tim Peake sets off on his | :11:29. | :11:37. | |
There will be extensive coverage of that launch on BBC. Let me show you | :11:38. | :12:01. | |
these amazing pic jurors. This is a unique view of the lunar eclipse. | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
The satellite's camera is normally trained on the sunlit face of the | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
earth tracking things like clouds and dust storms. On the 27th of | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
September it was in the right position to see them and go behind | :12:16. | :12:26. | |
the earth and into shadow. In a few minutes we will turn to what Egypt | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
has been saying about the Russian passenger plane became done in the | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
Sinai Desert. Russia says terrorism brought down, as do the West, but | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
Egypt says there is no evidence of that being the case. | :12:40. | :12:50. | |
The radio presenter Neil Fox has been cleared of a string of sex | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
offences against women and girls. People dying as the verdicts were | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
read out in court. Afterward he said the last year had been long, hard | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
and stressful that he was pleased to have been vindicated. This guide | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
contains flash photography. Following my arrest over 14 months | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
ago, I have strenuously denied all the allegations and today | :13:12. | :13:13. | |
I have been vindicated. It has been a long, hard | :13:14. | :13:16. | |
and stressful 14 months and a lot has been said and written about me | :13:17. | :13:19. | |
in that time and over the next few days, weeks and months | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
that will need to be This case has exposed again about | :13:23. | :13:39. | |
how high-profile cases like this are investigated by the police under | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
CBS, but this is not the time or place to address these matters. -- | :13:44. | :13:58. | |
and the CPS. Our lead story is that Washington President Obama has said | :13:59. | :14:01. | |
that American forces are hitting the Islamic State with harder than ever, | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
but he has admitted that the battle against IIS is difficult and the | :14:06. | :14:13. | |
progress needs to be faster. More than 40 people are known to | :14:14. | :14:19. | |
have died as a police bus fell off a bridge in Argentina. They were | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
mainly border police. Ecuador and Sweden have signed an | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
agreement allowing Julian has launched to be questioned by the | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
Swedish authorities at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London. He has | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
been there for three years trying to avoid deportation to Sweden on | :14:39. | :14:44. | |
charges of sexual assault. This is a video from the BBC News app. It is a | :14:45. | :14:52. | |
way of using radio waves to increase the speed of wi-fi, particularly in | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
busy locations. To go to the BBC News app for a more detailed | :14:58. | :15:03. | |
explanation. Egypt is saying that there is no evidence that terrorism | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
brought down the Russian passenger planes in sober. That is not how | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
Russia says it ordered the West sees it. Here is a report on the | :15:13. | :15:20. | |
different perspectives on the story. Egypt has said there is no evidence | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
to suggest the plane crash in October was the result of a | :15:25. | :15:27. | |
terrorist attack but it is the latest chapter in a confusing story. | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
Other countries have been terrorism. So, he has been saying what? Egypt | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
has been reluctant to establish a causing other countries would | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
jumping to conclusions. Their stance has at times been muddled. On the | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
ninth consent of the black box on board have recorded the sound of a | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
bomb. There were also reports that two airport staff were detained, | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
although this was denied by the Interior Ministry. All this with | :15:54. | :15:58. | |
so-called Islamic state claiming so-called Islamic state claiming | :15:59. | :16:01. | |
responsibility. There are Sinai branch published a picture of the | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
bomb they said they planted on board. After initial scepticism | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
about terrorism, Russians concluded that a bomb to bring down the plane. | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
They said their investigators had established that one kilo of | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
explosives had detonated under two passenger seat is causing the plane | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
to break up in midair. President Putin five the find and punish the | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
culprits, offering a $50 million reward for the capture. The US and | :16:30. | :16:35. | |
UK were amongst the first countries to suggest foul play. They said | :16:36. | :16:38. | |
intelligence services pick-up chatter of a plot to die on the | :16:39. | :16:41. | |
plane on the days before the incident. The West and Russia are | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
still warning holiday-makers to stay away from Sinai. So, why such | :16:47. | :16:52. | |
confused responses? Egypt worry about their tourism industry. There | :16:53. | :16:55. | |
has already been a 10% drop this year and for a country that relies | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
on tourism it is a worrying development. Russia initially | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
battered away questions that I S was involved. But, as Rocher ramped up | :17:06. | :17:12. | |
its operation against IIS in Syria and Iraq, perhaps accepting that | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
terrorism was to blame was politically useful. Today's | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
statement is pretty vague. The Egyptian postal concluded was | :17:21. | :17:26. | |
terrorism, but in such a politically charged environment with security | :17:27. | :17:28. | |
concerns all over the world is in the headlines the truth can be hard | :17:29. | :17:36. | |
to decipher. Let's go to Rwanda. It is 20 years and six treatments -- | :17:37. | :17:46. | |
since extremists vowed to... The legal process designed to bring | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
those to justice came to an end. It is estimated 200,000 people took | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
part in the Rwandan genocide. Three quarters of the Tutsi population was | :17:57. | :18:07. | |
killed. There were six guilty verdicts on people on crimes against | :18:08. | :18:15. | |
humanity. It has performed well. It has been difficult. It is a hard | :18:16. | :18:21. | |
slog to investigate crimes as widespread as the genocide of 1994. | :18:22. | :18:27. | |
It kills 800,000 people in less than a hundred days. It has taken two | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
decades but I believe the tribunal has fulfilled its mandate, which was | :18:33. | :18:38. | |
to bring to justice the leaders responsible for the genocide and it | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
has done that. All but eight of the people indicted that have been | :18:44. | :18:49. | |
brought before the courts, and the leaders including a former prime | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
minister had been sentenced to long periods of imprisonment in a number | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
of countries in Africa and some to life in prison. For more | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
information, you can find it from the BBC online. Let's start in South | :19:03. | :19:09. | |
Africa with her business. It has been a week to remember for its | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
finance ministry. It is in the -- it is onto his third Finance Minister | :19:14. | :19:22. | |
in six days. First of all, this man, who did the job from 2,000 and 92 | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
2014. He is getting a second go at Sunday because he replaced this man, | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
who was only four days in the job. He was sacked. So was this man, the | :19:35. | :19:41. | |
man he replaced. Both the sackings came from President Zuma. What we | :19:42. | :19:53. | |
were told is that President Zuma has received representations from | :19:54. | :19:59. | |
various quarters and he had listened carefully to people's concerns about | :20:00. | :20:09. | |
his very unannounced firing of the minister before it happening. | :20:10. | :20:21. | |
He replaced Nlanlha Nene with that pretty much unknown person. The | :20:22. | :20:30. | |
economy went into it freefall. Now that Pravin Gordhan has taken over, | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
the rand has rallied a bit. Is this a short-term political storm, maybe | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
not so significant to people outside South Africa, or is there something | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
more fundamental about the position of the ruling party in South Africa? | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
It is a good question. I think that President Zuma's personal reputation | :20:54. | :21:00. | |
will be tainted for a long time to come by this decision. The ANC is | :21:01. | :21:10. | |
likely to stay intact. There is of course our threat hanging over its | :21:11. | :21:13. | |
own votes next year in the local government elections so they might | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
be punished for being part of this fiasco, but it is not entirely clear | :21:19. | :21:24. | |
that they will be losing swathes of constituencies because of this. | :21:25. | :21:31. | |
Certainly President Zuma's reputation has taken a knock. | :21:32. | :21:38. | |
Countries are going to have to paid close attention to the commitments | :21:39. | :21:40. | |
they made on climate change in Paris. Have we heard from businesses | :21:41. | :21:55. | |
in the states about this? Yes, you have chief executives of some of the | :21:56. | :22:03. | |
blue-chip companies like Coca-Cola, HP, all expressing support. Richard | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
Branson, the chief executive of virgin, went as far as to say that | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
they have the opportunity to build a new economy. What we are seeing is | :22:11. | :22:14. | |
that companies that were already on this path, they have been welcoming | :22:15. | :22:22. | |
this, saying it is a global path to help these businesses manage their | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
investments better. For those who were already going to invest in | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
clean energy, whosoever starred as their corporate responsibility, they | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
welcomed this. You also have those who are critical, like the US | :22:36. | :22:40. | |
chamber commerce that lobbies Washington on behalf of some large | :22:41. | :22:46. | |
-- on a half of some large US companies. They say this is forcing | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
them to turn to more expensive and less readily available energy, and | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
they think it will hurt them competitively globally. They were | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
happy to say that this was not globally binding. I am guessing the | :22:59. | :23:06. | |
fossil fuel industry is not as confused as some other areas of the | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
economy? Exactly. Call is very frightened about this, Hants oil. | :23:12. | :23:19. | |
They may be forced to change the way they do business. Each nation has to | :23:20. | :23:27. | |
put their own plans in place but if you look at the DS Barack Obama has | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
a clean power plants and he wants deep reductions in carbon dioxide -- | :23:33. | :23:41. | |
plan. That is why the coal industry has been fighting back on this, not | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
being republicans and others in Congress to fight President Obama on | :23:46. | :23:49. | |
