The founder of the breast implant company at the centre of an | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
international health scare has been arrested and questioned in France. | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
Jean-Claude Mas ran PIP, which the French health watchdog said was | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
producing implants made from a sub- standard, industrial-grade gel. Up | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
to 500,000 women around the world are believed to have PIP implants, | :01:21. | :01:31. | |

as our world affairs correspondent This is a picture of Jean-Claude | :01:35. | :01:41. | |
Mas, taking in France 10 years ago. His company, PIP, is now defunct | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
and it is understood he has been questioned before. Police have been | :01:44. | :01:52. | |
searching his home. The problems for PIP date back to 2001 when | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
industrial grade silicon usually used to fill mattresses was used in | :01:56. | :02:03. | |
implants. Concerns about safety came to light in 2009, when doctors | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
are new -- noticed unusually high rupture rates. The French have | :02:08. | :02:15. | |
authorities this year finally recommended their removal. Germany | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
and the Czech Republic have taken a similar stance, as has Venezuela. | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
The medical advice in Britain where 40,000 women are affected his there | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
is no need for all of the implants to be removed, only those causing | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
problems such as pain or tenderness. Jean-Claude Mas has claimed through | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
his lawyer, despite the high rupture rate, his arm -- his | :02:39. | :02:45. | |
implants are safe. He said victims had been filing complaints simply | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
to make money. A suicide bomber has attacked a vehicle in the Afghan | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
city of Lashkar Gah, killing at least four people. The attacker | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
targeted a vehicle from a NATO- sponsored reconstruction team. Four | :02:55. | :03:05. | |
Afghan civilians are dead, one of them a child. More than 30 people, | :03:05. | :03:08. | |

The authorities in Iraq say insurgents have carried out a bomb | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
attack on a house south of Baghdad, killing two brothers, both | :03:36. | :03:39. | |

handing out medals during Australia Day celebrations when protesters | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
gathered outside and started banging on the windows. Ms Gillard | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
and Tony Abbott were rescued by security services after about 20 | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
minutes. Our correspondent, Duncan Kennedy gave us the latest from | :04:07. | :04:17. | |

The Eid two main political figures in Australia were subject to a | :04:21. | :04:27. | |
scramble to get them to safety. They were at an awards ceremony. A | :04:27. | :04:35. | |
few hundred yards away from a cab set up by its original -- | :04:35. | :04:41. | |
Aboriginal people. When they heard about the ceremony, they went up to | :04:41. | :04:48. | |
the ceremony and started to ban on the window. When they realise | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
things were getting out of hand, they made a dash for it. Julia | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
Gillard was grabbed by her bodyguard, literally raising her | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
along the ground. At one point, the Prime Minister and nearly hit the | :05:01. | :05:07. | |
ground, up almost horizontal, losing her footing. The opposition | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
leader Tony Abbott is following behind. Surrounded by 50 police, | :05:12. | :05:18. | |

We have just been hearing from David Cameron, endeavours, the | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
message of being bowled and competitive. | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
The lack of competitiveness is Europe's Achilles heel. He said | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
European leaders needed to take action and really show they are | :06:02. | :06:08. | |
bald, and show leadership in this difficult time for the eurozone. He | :06:08. | :06:14. | |
was also talking about the proposed transaction tax. He says, although | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
bankers need to play a role and play their share in solving the | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
current crisis, he did not believe this type of tax was the way | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
forward. If you look at the European | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
Commissioners own original analysis, that showed a financial | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
transactions tax could cost the GDP of the European Union, and could | :06:36. | :06:44. | |
reduce it by 200 billion euros. It could cost almost 500,000 jobs. And | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
force as much as 90% of some markets away from the European | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
Union. Even to be considering this at a time when we are struggling to | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
get our economy is growing is simply madness. | :06:57. | :07:05. | |
The World economic Forum is taking place in the backdrop of the crisis | :07:05. | :07:15. | |
:07:15. | :07:16. | ||
in Europe. Greece is trying to get its private | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
creditors to swap their government bonds for new ones with half their | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
face value, thereby slicing some $130 billion off its debt. But | :07:22. | :07:29. | |
agreement has stalled over the interest rates on the new bonds. | :07:29. | :07:36. | |
This is just the first step. One of the most important periods in | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
economic history. You may or may not get an agreement, in any case, | :07:41. | :07:47. | |
the Greek government will introduce legislation to force creditors and | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
hedge funds to join in, in the debt reduction. Then some sort of deal, | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
maybe in time, maybe the fault. Then the issue, what happens to | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
Greek banks, will they be recapitalised? | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
The French bank BNP Paribas is one of the biggest creditors to Greek | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
banks. Its share price has plummeted amid investor fears that | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
a Greek default could lead to huge losses for the lender. Given the | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
recent gloom about those Greek debt talks, the BBC's business editor | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
Robert Peston asked BNP's chief executive Baudoin Prot why he | :08:17. | :08:24. | |
remained confident of a solution to the eurozone debt crisis? | :08:24. | :08:29. | |
I think we are over the worst, up on the right track but not finished. | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
We have definitely, we cannot go on neutral, we have to continue to | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
move forward. We all know that means individual country's | :08:39. | :08:47. | |
continuing to implement fiscal Budget measures. And also, I agree | :08:47. | :08:53. | |
with the Americans, we need initiatives to impose higher growth | :08:53. | :08:59. | |
and deregulate the Labour market, more competition. Higher | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
sustainable growth in Europe is as essential as cutting budgets and | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
deficit. What has been the biggest contributor to your increased | :09:09. | :09:16. | |
optimism? Three-year long-term financial operation was a catalyst | :09:16. | :09:23. | |
in Italy. But, this was very important also in the context where | :09:23. | :09:33. | |
:09:33. | :09:34. | ||
individual countries have started movement. The arrival of Monti was | :09:34. | :09:40. | |
important. Those initiatives are very welcome. Now we need them to | :09:40. | :09:49. | |
deliver. We have seen talks between private sector lenders in Greece, | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
with the government, reducing what the Greek government will pay. | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
Those talks have stalled. Are you optimistic they will reach a | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
positive outcome? Those of creditors have gone to the maximum | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
they could do, to keep it a voluntary agreement. It is an | :10:08. | :10:14. | |
enormous sacrifice, unprecedented, voluntary. The private sector | :10:14. | :10:20. | |
involvement, if we accept we can finally get there, it will be | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
historical. 10,000 jobs are to go at | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
electronics giant NEC. The Japanese maker of computer and | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
telecommunications equipment also warned it would make a $1.3 billion | :10:28. | :10:33. | |
loss for the year to March. Most of the lay-offs will be in Japan, with | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
3,000 jobs going overseas. More bad news from Japan. The | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
Japanese gaming giant Nintendo warns its annual losses will be | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
three times bigger than forecast. Nintendo, like many of its | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
compatriots, is struggling with the strong yen, which makes its | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
consoles more expensive than those made by rivals in the US and other | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
countries. The group has also had to slash prices in a very | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
competitive industry. Across the Korea Strait, it's a | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
different story. Car maker Hyundai has reported record profits. It | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
made $7.2 billion last year. That's up 3%. South Korea's biggest motor | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
group benefited from reduced production by Japanese rivals like | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
Toyota who were hit by the tsunami. Hyundai has particularly well in | :11:06. | :11:16. | |

the world's two biggest markets, China and the United States. | :11:17. | :11:25. | |
The world's biggest mobile phone maker has reported a fall in profit. | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
The Norwegian group started making smartphones much later than rivals, | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
such as Samsung, LG and Apple. Nokia is now selling more cheap | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
phones in emerging markets such as India which, in turn, reduces its | :11:36. | :11:45. | |
profit margins. Swedish budget fashion chain Hennes | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
and Mauritz, or H&M, sold more clothes in the fourth quarter than | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
it did in the same period a year ago. Profits were down slightly | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
though, by 2.5%, as higher costs and stiff competition ate into its | :11:55. | :12:05. | |
margins. Let us take a look at how the | :12:05. | :12:11. | |
markets are faring so far today. We can see what happened yesterday, in | :12:11. | :12:20. | |
the United States, closing up 0.6%. After interest rates were kept on | :12:20. | :12:30. | |

for ethics and sustainability surrounding the London 2012 | :13:21. | :13:24. | |

The commissioner has urged the organisers to drop Dow Chemicals | :13:27. | :13:30. | |

Victims and the Indian government are seeking compensation from Dow | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
Chemical after it bought the company 11 years ago. The | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
sponsorship deal has already led to demonstrations in Britain and India. | :14:25. | :14:31. | |
Last month, campaigners burnt an effigy of the Olympics are chairman. | :14:32. | :14:37. | |
The government said it was firmly behind the sponsorship. The fact, | :14:37. | :14:43. | |

Indian government in 1989, that has been upheld three times in the | :14:52. | :14:57. | |

His it is all happening in Papua New Guinea at the moment. The | :17:33. | :17:38. | |

as many as 60 people are dead or missing after a massive landslide | :17:41. | :17:45. | |

residents were sleeping. At least 40 bodies have been found. Many may | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
have been transit workers at the nearby liquified natural gas | :17:53. | :17:59. | |

Cars buried where they were parked. All this in just a few devastating | :18:19. | :18:28. | |
moments. I was walking on the path when all of a sudden the building | :18:28. | :18:33. | |
collapsed. We ran out and tried to see if there was anybody inside, | :18:33. | :18:40. | |
but we couldn't tell. At first, I thought someone was throwing rubble, | :18:40. | :18:45. | |
but it was nothing serious. Then I started to take some steps back, | :18:45. | :18:50. | |
and all the sudden the building collapsed. It came down completely. | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
Anxious crowds gathered at the scene. Emergency services have | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
begun a rescue operation. Some people have been pulled alive from | :18:58. | :19:03. | |
the wreckage, but no one knows how many more are still trapped. What | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
caused this is still unknown. Some officials have blamed it on a | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
structural fault. But witnesses say they smelled gas and heard an | :19:11. | :19:17. | |
explosion just before the collapse. Some of the rubble is already being | :19:17. | :19:21. | |

The laws will also mean tougher sentences in cases of domestic | :19:43. | :19:49. | |

of the home. They want them to stay in their homes. This woman was in | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
her fifties. She was in her home after an argument with her son's | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
wife when two men burst into the yard. She recognise them as | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
relatives of her daughter in law. She says they forced her into a | :21:31. | :21:37. | |
room, beat her and raped her. TRANSLATION: Death would have been | :21:37. | :21:43. | |
better than this, she says. Since what happened to me, I am tired of | :21:43. | :21:48. | |
life. It is like I have a disease with no cure. It is difficult to | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
even eat. And there are council -- countless | :21:52. | :22:00. | |
women in Pakistan for whom changes coming too slowly. | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
Staying in Pakistan, the Prime Minister has now toned down his | :22:03. | :22:10. | |
criticism of the country's army leadership. Yousaf Raza Gilani has | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
said he wants to dispel the impression that the armed forces | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
have acted unconstitutionally. He says Pakistan could not afford | :22:17. | :22:21. | |
conflict among its institutions and the current situation. Earlier this | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
month he accused Pakistan's army chief and the head of intelligence | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
of breaking the constitution by making direct representations to | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
the Supreme Court. Medecins Sans Frontieres has | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
suspended operations in detention centres in the Libyan city of | :22:35. | :22:40. | |
Misrata because of what it says are persistent cases of torture. The | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
medical charity says it has treated more than 100 people for torture | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
related injuries at those centres, and says in some cases, people were | :22:47. | :22:52. | |
brought in for treatment midway through an interrogation, only to | :22:52. | :22:56. | |
be tortured and taken back for more torture. The charity says it | :22:56. | :23:01. | |
alerted local authorities, and yet no action was taken. | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
The Falkland Islands are small enough, but the proxy war fought | :23:06. | :23:11. | |
there 30 years ago has nonetheless left a very large thorn in the side | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
of relations ever since. The Falklands remains British territory, | :23:15. | :23:19. | |
but a recent hardening of attitude has seen some in Argentina demand | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
their return. Fergal Keane reports from Buenos Aires. | :23:24. | :23:32. | |
Every morning of every year, the ceremonial guard arrives. Here at | :23:32. | :23:42. | |
:23:42. | :23:43. | ||
the National Memorial to More than 600 Argentine servicemen | :23:43. | :23:48. | |
died in the conflict. Many of them young conscripts. Their names are | :23:48. | :23:54. | |
embedded in this war, reminders of an era that most people in this | :23:54. | :24:00. | |
country wish to forget. It was the age of dictators who send their | :24:00. | :24:05. | |
troops to the Falklands in a vain bid to restore their fading power. | :24:05. | :24:14. | |
When the war was lost, the military Poynter was overthrown. Alonso was | :24:14. | :24:20. | |
18 years old. Yet for him and many Argentines, the islands remained a | :24:20. | :24:27. | |
passionate cause. A TRANSLATION: It has been 30 years. | :24:27. | :24:32. | |
The anniversaries allow us to think of those we lost, but also give us | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
the strength to continue fighting. As the diplomatic wrangle between | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
Argentina and Britain escalates, protesters have converged on the | :24:40. | :24:45. | |
British Embassy. The rights of the Falkland Islanders to remain | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
British simply aren't recognised. Surely if the label on the islands | :24:49. | :24:54. | |
want to remain British, that is their democratic right? | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
TRANSLATION: We Argentinians also have a right to reclaim what is | :24:58. | :25:06. | |
ours. In government, too, the mood has been hardening. David Cameron | :25:06. | :25:12. | |
accusations that it was colonialism have been bitterly responded to. | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
TRANSLATION: We were shocked by the British Prime Minister. Argentine | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
history is far from colonialism. That is far more like the British | :25:20. | :25:25. | |
history. It was ironic to listen to such an accusation from the British. | :25:25. | :25:34. | |
When a series of rules out military action. Falklands ships are banned | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
from the ports of several that Latin-American nations, including | :25:37. | :25:45. | |
Brazil. A former planning minister says Argentina wants to use the | :25:45. | :25:51. | |
growing political clout of Latin America. South America as a group | :25:51. | :25:58. | |
is becoming more and more important. These countries and now the centre | :25:58. | :26:03. | |
of economic growth. There may be no more military adventures, but | :26:03. | :26:08. | |
Britain faces a real diplomatic challenge in a region asserting its | :26:08. | :26:16. | |
new-found strength. I just want to take you back to | :26:16. | :26:21. | |
pictures that we have for you of the Costa Concordia cruise ship. It | :26:21. | :26:26. | |
is almost two weeks since it fell into this sorry state. The search | :26:26. | :26:32. | |
is going to continue today in three different stages on the Costa | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
Concordia. The rescuers are hoping to get to cabins they have not been | :26:36. | :26:41. | |
able to get to up until now. We are told all systems are now in place | :26:41. | :26:45. | |
for any potential environmental damage coming from this ship. | :26:45. | :26:51. |
