:01:55. > :01:59.damage done to many rebel held areas. One in particular is this
:02:00. > :02:04.neighbourhood in north-western Aleppo which was held by rebels in
:02:05. > :02:12.the summer. It was retaken by the government. Our reporter has just
:02:13. > :02:20.been there. This place is to the west of Aleppo. It has been
:02:21. > :02:27.absolutely pulverised. I suspect a lot of this was the work of the
:02:28. > :02:33.Russian air force. Rebels, the Army is telling me, held this place until
:02:34. > :02:38.July of this year. Then in what was a huge display of firepower, they
:02:39. > :02:42.were driven out. From the government point of view this was an important
:02:43. > :02:49.moment because from this area, rebels were able to fire down onto
:02:50. > :02:53.the west side of Aleppo. You can only guess what happened to the

:07:19. > :07:29.Not everyone is happy about the proposal, the Ukip MEP Nigel Farage

:07:52. > :07:56.correspondent. Even Nato doesn't have an army. It has individual
:07:57. > :08:03.troops from different countries who are trained to come together in a
:08:04. > :08:08.crisis. If that is what Mr Yunker is looking forward to in a European
:08:09. > :08:16.context by his standards it is not unreasonable. You're not going to
:08:17. > :08:22.see and EU army as such. The problem is people will say there are already
:08:23. > :08:27.European-wide arrangements involving Nato which involve Canada and the
:08:28. > :08:32.United States as well. Certainly his critics will be fearful of anything
:08:33. > :08:38.which uses up skiers defence resources by duplicating what Nato
:08:39. > :08:46.is doing. End of the to and fro and political debate, there is a lot of
:08:47. > :08:49.froth from the former Ukip leader for instance, the great problem is
:08:50. > :08:53.the Russians are watching from the sidelines. The other field of
:08:54. > :08:58.critics is that as the Russians watched all of this taking place,
:08:59. > :09:05.will there be any sense that they need is weakened as the perception
:09:06. > :09:10.that the West of standing firmly together is weakened? That has been
:09:11. > :09:17.the bedrock of European security since the Second World War. We have
:09:18. > :09:23.just heard in the last couple of hours from Brazil that prosecutors
:09:24. > :09:29.have lodged charges against the former president Lula da Silva.
:09:30. > :09:36.There was talk about and scandal at the state owned oil company. He has
:09:37. > :09:41.rejected accusations. Let us go to our correspondent. The accusations
:09:42. > :09:44.are being presented in a press conference right now. There has not
:09:45. > :09:51.been a lot of new things said which we didn't know already. Lula da
:09:52. > :09:54.Silva is being accused of receiving favours from a construction company.
:09:55. > :10:00.This company got lucrative deals with the oil company. He has denied
:10:01. > :10:07.all these charges. It has been on the news for quite some time. Now he
:10:08. > :10:12.will have to defend himself. The charges are being presented now and
:10:13. > :10:16.the judge is likely to rule on them. If they are excepted, he will be
:10:17. > :10:21.tried and it will be a massive trial. It is only weeks after his
:10:22. > :10:29.successor was impeached, a time of massive upheaval? Exactly. This
:10:30. > :10:35.story has a lot to do with that impeachment because Lula Da Silva is
:10:36. > :10:40.the only major political force who is seen as someone who can fight for
:10:41. > :10:46.the legacy of the workers party. That ended with the impeachment of
:10:47. > :10:52.the president. No opinion polls suggest that he would be a strong
:10:53. > :10:55.political force for 2018 so in order to protect our legacy he will have
:10:56. > :11:05.to clear his name from these allegations. How widespread is the
:11:06. > :11:10.corruption inquiry? There are hundreds of politicians, business
:11:11. > :11:15.people, some of Brazil's most powerful businessmen are behind bars
:11:16. > :11:19.because of this investigation. It has been proven that billions of
:11:20. > :11:25.dollars were siphoned off and it is by far the largest corruption scale
:11:26. > :11:32.and that -- corruption in Brazilian history. Lula da Silva and many
:11:33. > :11:36.other top politicians are actually going to trial and we will say how
:11:37. > :11:46.guilty these top politicians were. Thank you Daniel. I new way of

:14:10. > :14:16.regime change in removing Colonel Gaddafi. The report says the result
:14:17. > :14:22.was little and economic collapse into tribal warfare and migrant
:14:23. > :14:29.crisis. It said the UK strategy was founded on erroneous assumptions...
:14:30. > :14:33.The British involvement began with bombing back in March 2011 to stop
:14:34. > :14:36.the fighting in Benghazi. David Cameron went there a few months
:14:37. > :14:45.later and this is what he said at the time. It is great to be hear in
:14:46. > :14:53.three Benghazi and in free Libya. Your city, your city was an
:14:54. > :14:58.inspiration to the world as you threw off a dictator and chose
:14:59. > :15:03.freedom. After that fighting spread across the country with no rebel
:15:04. > :15:10.forces closing in on Colonel Gaddafi who was eventually killed seven
:15:11. > :15:11.months later in his hometown. This is roughly what Libya looks like
:15:12. > :15:27.now. The country is divided. Seen in pink is Islamic State, the
:15:28. > :15:32.area they are in control of, and they are in control of Benghazi,
:15:33. > :15:36.where we saw David Cameron speaking. It is very confusing so I turned to
:15:37. > :15:40.a correspondent to find out if this is a worst-case scenario.
:15:41. > :15:46.Back in 2011, the whole of the region was going through a momentous
:15:47. > :15:50.time. Six countries had a wave of synchronised upheavals, revolts
:15:51. > :15:56.against despots. None of the stories in these six countries ended happy
:15:57. > :15:59.way. So, in Libya, it was total meltdown afterwords. Downhill all
:16:00. > :16:07.the way. The people we have talked to today from Libya, Libyans who
:16:08. > :16:12.have lived through all of this, some of them are saying you have amnesia.
:16:13. > :16:14.You forgot what Gaddafi was really like. He was going to demolish
:16:15. > :16:17.Benghazi, he was going to go the massacre and the need to
:16:18. > :16:23.interference came in time. Critics of the operation, on the other hand,
:16:24. > :16:27.say that the UN security mandate at the time was for protecting
:16:28. > :16:33.civilians, not regime change, and what happened is this Nato operation
:16:34. > :16:36.escalated and became sort a systematic destruction of Gaddafi's
:16:37. > :16:41.army until the rebels managed to take over. There were warnings at
:16:42. > :16:44.the time that among these rebels there are hardline Islamists who
:16:45. > :16:50.could pose a danger in the future of the country. These warnings were not
:16:51. > :16:53.heeded, and this is partly... Part of the mess that Libya is suffering

:17:00. > :17:01.You have a major split. You have an internationally recognised

:17:22. > :17:25.emerging on the ground, the two military forces that probably will
:17:26. > :17:30.have the decisive, sort of, determining factor in the end. You
:17:31. > :17:36.have the brigade 's leading the fight against Islamic State, and you
:17:37. > :17:41.have the renegade self-styled general who is saying that he

:21:36. > :21:39.New York. They were rejected twice. Bayer finally got what it has been
:21:40. > :21:42.lusting after for so long. Yes, that is right. We have
:21:43. > :21:45.certainly talked about this on this programme many times before but I
:21:46. > :21:51.think it is important to address what the deal was tweeting about in
:21:52. > :21:53.terms of what would be controversial. -- what our
:21:54. > :21:57.correspondent was tweeting about. This is going to have to get to
:21:58. > :22:01.regulators and when you are seeing such a giant tie-up between these
:22:02. > :22:04.two companies, it is certainly going to have regulators asking questions
:22:05. > :22:08.in terms of whether it is going to be too big and whether it is going
:22:09. > :22:11.to hamper competition. That is really the next step. But one of the
:22:12. > :22:22.other issues that really comes up is something that we are seeing is
:22:23. > :22:25.actually in Europe, and it has to do with Monsanto and the fact that they
:22:26. > :22:28.use a lot of pesticides and herbicides and these kinds of seeds
:22:29. > :22:30.that have long been used here in the United States but has certainly been
:22:31. > :22:34.drawing a lot of criticism from environmentalists in the United
:22:35. > :22:38.Kingdom and elsewhere in Europe. Presumably, with this tie-up, you
:22:39. > :22:40.will be seeing some of those pesticides making their way into

:22:49. > :22:52.Gadgets we can use to control our lives are big business in the tech
