the 20 parliamentary elections is dangerous. Heavy fighting in Helmand

province continues as reports come out that the area has fallen to the

:00:41.:00:45.

Taliban. Amnesty International releases a report claiming at least

:00:46.:00:49.

200 civilians have been killed in Russian air strikes in Syria. If you

:00:50.:00:55.

had any doubts about the potential risks of drones, have a look at

:00:56.:00:59.

this. We will hear how incidents like this one can be avoided. And

:01:00.:01:05.

the story of a man who was found alive under that huge landslide in

:01:06.:01:07.

China after almost three days. At least 200 civilians were killed

:01:08.:01:28.

in Russian air strikes on Syria from the end of September to the end of

:01:29.:01:33.

November. That is according to a report by Amnesty International. The

:01:34.:01:36.

human rights group spoke to witnesses to many of the attacks and

:01:37.:01:40.

stop Amnesty said it researched remotely more than 25 Russian

:01:41.:01:46.

attacks that took place in harms, and other places including Aleppo.

:01:47.:01:50.

It said there was evidence Russia on more fully used on guided bombs in

:01:51.:01:58.

densely populated areas and used cluster munitions. Moscow insists it

:01:59.:02:02.

is targeting only the positions of terrorist groups. TRANSLATION: We

:02:03.:02:09.

have read this report which has nothing concrete or new in it. The

:02:10.:02:14.

same cliches and lies which we have revealed once before. The report

:02:15.:02:21.

uses expression such as presumably Russian strikes or possible

:02:22.:02:26.

violations of international law. Nothing but assumptions without any

:02:27.:02:32.

proof. The BBC Russian service described whether these claims could

:02:33.:02:33.

be considered accurate. All of that weaponry is a denial of

:02:34.:02:52.

territory weaponry, so basically it closes down for the enemy,

:02:53.:02:58.

everything gets to stride. That is what suits the strategy of the

:02:59.:03:01.

Syrian army trying to push into those areas and control them, take

:03:02.:03:07.

the control from opposition forces. That is why they insist that we are

:03:08.:03:12.

doing we should do. Since Russia got involved with the strikes in

:03:13.:03:15.

September there has always been scepticism about what exactly Russia

:03:16.:03:19.

is bombing, whether these are IS targets or just any opposition to

:03:20.:03:24.

the Assad regime. It is interesting because the Russians say they don't

:03:25.:03:27.

just bomb whatever needs to be bombed, they say they get the list

:03:28.:03:31.

of targets from the Syrian government, and the Syrian

:03:32.:03:36.

government insists that every militant group which is against the

:03:37.:03:40.

Syrian government is a terrorist group and Russians take the cue from

:03:41.:03:44.

there. They say we are fighting terrorism, but who are the

:03:45.:03:48.

terrorists? That definition is up to the Syrian government. This was

:03:49.:03:52.

researched remotely, we are hearing, from Amnesty, that is what Russia

:03:53.:03:58.

takes issue with. They save you are calling 16 people on the ground we

:03:59.:04:04.

don't know, you say you researched it from social media. That from a

:04:05.:04:07.

Russian point of view is not acceptable. They want satellite

:04:08.:04:11.

pictures, sometimes they provide satellite pictures, even though

:04:12.:04:12.

sometimes get mistaken. The Premier League lost one

:04:13.:04:19.

colourful character this week But speculation has been rife that

:04:20.:04:21.

another one - Louis Van Gaal - For now - at least - he's staying -

:04:22.:04:25.

and today he stormed out of a particularly spiky

:04:26.:04:29.

press conference. Has anybody in this room not a

:04:30.:04:46.

feeling to apologise to me? Nobody has that feeling? I was already

:04:47.:04:54.

sacked, I have read, I have been sacked. My colleague was here

:04:55.:05:04.

already. Do you think that I want to talk with the media now? I am here

:05:05.:05:15.

only because of the Premier League rules, I have to talk with you. I am

:05:16.:05:22.

focused on Stoke City. I help my players, I wish you a Merry

Christmas, and maybe also a happy New Year when I see you, and enjoy

Christmas bird. Let's Koepka Hugh Woozencroft from BBC Sport Centre.

:05:45.:05:50.

Not a great starter Christmas for Louis Vanguard. No, it isn't, but

:05:51.:05:55.

there are two sides to every story. Louis van Gaal would argue he has

:05:56.:05:59.

been doing what is required for him at Manchester United. We got the

:06:00.:06:02.

club into the Champions League at the first time of asking, the

:06:03.:06:06.

minimum required, and this season he sits fifth in the English Premier

:06:07.:06:12.

Li, so why all the criticism, why is his job being called into question?

:06:13.:06:15.

Paul Scholes has labelled them boring. They had just seven shots on

:06:16.:06:19.

target in their last four Premier League matches at home. In fact they

:06:20.:06:23.

have not won any game in the last six. All of this comes in the midst

:06:24.:06:27.

of so much managerial moving is, so much going on. Pep Guardiola at the

:06:28.:06:31.

end of the season will be leaving Bayern Munich and Germany fostered

:06:32.:06:35.

Jose Mourinho has been sacked by Chelsea, and with high-quality

:06:36.:06:37.

candidates like that currently available it is not surprising the

:06:38.:06:41.

English media here have been writing headlines about Louis van Gaal. But

:06:42.:06:45.

for tomorrow's headlines on Thursday, Louis only has itself to

:06:46.:06:46.

blame. Someone in a slightly better mood

:06:47.:06:55.

is Cristiano Ronaldo. And he's shown us one

the BBC newsroom. Our top story, Russia has put the former oil tycoon

:12:21.:12:49.

Mikhail Khodorkovsky on an international wanted list

:12:50.:12:51.

for connection to a murder case. But in a BBC interview,

:12:52.:12:55.

Mr Khodorkovsky says the case what you see next on BBC News

depends where you are watching. Around the world, world News America

Almost three days after a landslide in China a man has been pulled alive

:13:37.:13:40.

from the rubble in the city of Shenzhen.

:13:41.:13:42.

A huge rubbish dump collapsed and buried dozens of buildings under

:13:43.:13:44.

a pile of earth and construction waste.

:13:45.:13:46.

He survived by eating seeds and fruit that were buried

:13:47.:13:48.

alongside him - as Stephen Evans reports.

:13:49.:13:50.

Rescuers used special radar detectors to seek survivors.

:13:51.:13:57.

When they found signs of life, they dug.

He survived in a pocket of air created by rafters

He lived on oranges he found around him, and on hope.

On Sunday, the waste swept down and covered the industrial estate.

We are now working at these points to see if others are trapped there.

Here is Austrian slalom skier Marcel Hirscher

Literally crashed just centimetres behind him.

:15:22.:15:26.

Luckily he didn't suffer any injuries - and even managed

:15:27.:15:29.

He later joked on twitter @marcel-hirscher that there was some

:15:30.:15:44.

'heavy air traffic in Italy.' But more seriously,

:15:45.:15:46.

after the race he wrote 'Quite honestly,

:15:47.:15:47.

if I look at the pictures from the drone crash

:15:48.:15:50.

on the internet, I get sweaty palms and tremble.' Well unsurprisingly

:15:51.:15:52.

the International Ski Federation has since banned drones from future

Rory Cellan Jones is the man to go to when we've got

:15:56.:16:01.

These are incredibly popular at the moment. There has been a huge surge

:16:02.:16:09.

of interest in them, I think a lot of people will be getting them at

:16:10.:16:11.

Christmas, the price of them is coming down. But lots of warning is

:16:12.:16:17.

now coming out not just from the regulators, but from the makers

:16:18.:16:21.

themselves, that they are not simple toys. If you are going to fly them

:16:22.:16:25.

you have to base import rules. What is unclear about this particular

:16:26.:16:29.

incident is why the thing just fell out of the sky. I have been talking

:16:30.:16:35.

on twitter to various people from pilot ruins themselves, and I

:16:36.:16:38.

assumed first that the battery had failed, they said it is most like

:16:39.:16:41.

that, it looks more like an actual engine failure, because with these

:16:42.:16:46.

Trojans, and I have flown them as an amateur myself, when the battery is

:16:47.:16:50.

running low, first you get a warning, and then it just lands

:16:51.:16:54.

itself, it automatically lands. And that just smashed down. Exactly. At

:16:55.:17:00.

the moment, in terms of regulations, we don't really have any. There will

:17:01.:17:04.

be huge and as of these things sold over the next months and years. What

:17:05.:17:08.

are the authorities able to do? There is a sudden surge, you say we

:17:09.:17:13.

don't have any regulations, we haven't and suddenly authorities

:17:14.:17:15.

around the world are waking up to this. In America, they have just

:17:16.:17:20.

introduced some quite Draconian regulations, everyone who has got

:17:21.:17:24.

one of these has the register online or they can face huge fines and get

:17:25.:17:30.

in trouble. In the UK there is a big difference made between professional

:17:31.:17:33.

drone operators, as was that one on the ski race, and the rest of the

:17:34.:17:38.

population, professionals actually have to have almost the equivalent

:17:39.:17:43.

of a pilot 's licence. Watch trip regulation as to what you can do

:17:44.:17:50.

with them. What the people want to do with them? The great thing is the

:17:51.:17:53.

amazing photography you can get, that is what everyone is buying

:17:54.:17:58.

them. The technology has come on in leaps and bounds in the last couple

:17:59.:18:01.

of years. We are almost going to get bored with aerial shots of people's

:18:02.:18:05.

houses, maybe that is what will end the phrase. That is why they are so

:18:06.:18:06.

popular. Bagpipes aren't usually

:18:07.:18:13.

linked to Japan. But after a holiday in Scotland,

:18:14.:18:14.

Shinji Hamada decided to take up the pipes - complete

:18:15.:18:17.

with kilt and sporran. I live in Japan. I went to Scotland

:18:18.:18:37.

when I took a vacation, and that is when I was fascinated by the sound

:18:38.:18:44.

of the bagpipe. Once I get there and actually see and hear the sound of

:18:45.:18:49.

the bagpipe, that is when I just wanted to have the bagpipe itself.

:18:50.:18:59.

Wherever I go, when they first hear me playing the bagpipes, they think

:19:00.:19:06.

there is some British or Scottish people playing the bagpipe, and I

:19:07.:19:11.

say I am Japanese. They say why? They always have this reaction of

:19:12.:19:17.

amazement. Why is the Japanese guy playing the bagpipe in Australia or

:19:18.:19:27.

Scotland? Once I started playing the bagpipe, I just got more close to

:19:28.:19:33.

the Scottish as I can be, so started buying the kilt and jacket and

:19:34.:19:40.

everything. I just tried to feel as much as Scottish as I can be, feel

:19:41.:19:44.

more like the Highland bagpipe. That is who I want to be. I don't know

:19:45.:19:48.

where it comes from but I am more passionate about what I do as a

:19:49.:19:55.

bagpiper. When I put this outfit on and play the bagpipes, I really feel

:19:56.:20:05.

like a Scottish, see this history, tradition, culture of the

:20:06.:20:10.

Highlanders is alive and well in the land of the rising Sun, in Tokyo,

:20:11.:20:12.

Japan. A lot of things I have done -- I

:20:13.:20:29.

would like to do, like play in front of the Queen, or maybe meet a

:20:30.:20:33.

Scottish girl Sunday and play pipes for her. As much as I can play the

:20:34.:20:39.

bagpipes and meet a lot of people, and they give me inspiration or

:20:40.:20:43.

feedback, it makes me a more better act by player, that is all I want to

:20:44.:20:48.

do. A passionate paper there in Japan. -- Piper.

His death was announced today, aged 91.

:21:02.:21:04.

Here he is talking about the 5 and a half years he spent

:21:05.:21:07.

Feeding was three times a day, first in the camp, some gruel, then some

:21:08.:21:30.

soup in the middle of the day, and in the evening normally a piece of

:21:31.:21:41.

some sort of fish, or gruel again. When Stalin died, a commission was

formed, and that commission decided to release people who were serving

time for reckless phrases, like me. I thought I lost the six best years

:22:04.:22:18.

of my life, 23 to 29. I always say don't rust, don't fear, don't beg.

It became a motto, and I never forget from where I learned this

motto. Leonid Finkelstein, who's
