:01:37. > :01:42.with the families of the victims from the rioting in Port Said. It
:01:42. > :01:47.has created much criticism for the security forces. And as we have
:01:47. > :01:50.seen in the course of the last 24 hours, considerable unrest, as so
:01:50. > :02:00.many people have taken to the streets again to face the tear gas,

:02:52. > :02:58.parts of Egypt also saw angry crowds. In the city of Suez, at
:02:58. > :03:03.least two people were shot and killed by police. This was the
:03:03. > :03:07.reason for the outrage. The worst football violence ever seen in the

:06:12. > :06:16.when the job report is released for January in a couple of hours. How
:06:16. > :06:21.much difference will it make to the unemployment rate, which is at
:06:21. > :06:25.8.5%? That is unacceptably high. We went to meet the manufacturing
:06:25. > :06:29.training centre in New Jersey. The controls are all manual on the

:07:40. > :07:45.there is not enough skilled talent to run these machines effectively.
:07:45. > :07:49.Last week in my state of the union address, I laid out by blueprint

:07:52. > :07:56.trumpeting the revival in manufacturing, hoping that it will
:07:56. > :08:01.help him to keep his job after the election in November. Since the
:08:01. > :08:06.recession ended, manufacturers have added 3000 jobs, but it may not be
:08:06. > :08:09.enough. Manufacturing is never going to be the key driver of job
:08:09. > :08:15.growth in the USA. The service sector is just so much bigger that
:08:15. > :08:18.that will always determined whether job growth is weak or strong.
:08:18. > :08:22.Manufacturing is making a healthy contribution right now. That is
:08:22. > :08:31.welcome news for students in this class. For many Americans still
:08:31. > :08:36.looking for work, the jobs climate is not improving fast enough.
:08:36. > :08:39.Some hope for news on Europe. The eurozone's service sector has grown
:08:39. > :08:47.for the first time in four months but Spain and Italy have continued
:08:47. > :08:54.to boast balls in activity. The Markit purchasing managers' index
:08:54. > :08:59.was up to 50.4 from 48.8 in December. Any score under 50
:08:59. > :09:03.represents the contraction. Joining me from Markit, their senior
:09:04. > :09:10.economist Rob Dobson. Are you convinced by this? We seem to be
:09:10. > :09:13.grasping at straws, in this doom- laden scenario. On its own it is
:09:13. > :09:17.very positive to see this stabilisation of the eurozone
:09:17. > :09:21.private sector economy as a whole. We saw this in the services numbers
:09:21. > :09:29.and the manufacturing numbers released a couple of days ago. They
:09:29. > :09:32.are both signalling stabilisation, not significant growth. This could
:09:32. > :09:37.indicate that the eurozone might avoid falling back into recession
:09:37. > :09:41.in the first quarter. But these figures are showing marginal growth
:09:41. > :09:45.and indicators such as employers and the business, although rates
:09:45. > :09:50.contraction is easing, there is still weakness within the eurozone
:09:50. > :09:55.as a whole. How much is it depended upon Germany? That is the thing. In
:09:55. > :09:59.these numbers we are very much seeing the two or three-speed
:09:59. > :10:04.economy in the eurozone. Germany for some time has been out there,
:10:04. > :10:08.ahead, and France is hanging around stable, at the stagnation point.
:10:08. > :10:13.Italy and Spain, the peripheral countries, they are signalling that
:10:13. > :10:16.they are still in the downturn. The rate of contraction did ease this
:10:16. > :10:20.month, but they are still in contraction. Italy and Spain are
:10:20. > :10:26.not as big as France and Germany but they will still make a
:10:26. > :10:29.contribution to trends in GDP for that currency bloc. What about the
:10:29. > :10:33.manufacturing sector? That is what they are emphasising in the United
:10:33. > :10:37.States. It will not account for much more growth but it is being
:10:37. > :10:45.harped on about by the politicians. What we saw with our manufacturing
:10:45. > :10:49.numbers from a few days ago was a broadly similar picture. We saw
:10:49. > :10:53.manufacturing coming back to the stabilisation point. But that is
:10:53. > :10:58.focused on the stronger and larger nations. Those periphery nations
:10:58. > :11:02.are doing particularly badly. The Greek manufacturing downturn, we
:11:02. > :11:05.saw that showing signs of deepening in our figures, which given the
:11:05. > :11:08.problems with Greece and its role in the eurozone debt crisis and
:11:08. > :11:14.leading economic growth to come back to its country, that is
:11:14. > :11:20.important in itself. Thank you. Now the markets. Where have they
:11:20. > :11:24.got to? We saw a fairly positive view. Largely as a result of that
:11:24. > :11:28.survey. We are also looking ahead to what is going on in the jobs
:11:28. > :11:33.report this afternoon coming out in two hours from the United States.
:11:33. > :11:40.Hopes hanging on the fact that we might get a better report. 150,000
:11:40. > :11:46.jobs created in January, and the markets would like more than that,
:11:46. > :11:49.because even with those jobs being created, the jobless rate of 8.5%
:11:49. > :11:53.will not change. Thank you.
:11:53. > :11:58.The English Football Association has decided to remove John Terry as
:11:58. > :12:01.captain of the England team while he awaits trial on charges of
:12:02. > :12:05.racial abuse. John Terry plays in the Premier League for Chelsea. He

:12:09. > :12:15.involving the defender Anton Ferdinand, who plays for Queens
:12:15. > :12:19.Park Rangers. It is the second time he has lost the national captaincy.
:12:19. > :12:23.We understand yesterday that the chairman of the Football
:12:23. > :12:26.Association took soundings from the 14 man board. The majority of
:12:26. > :12:31.opinion was that it would be better if the captaincy was removed from
:12:31. > :12:35.John Terry while the allegations, which he strenuously denies, still
:12:35. > :12:38.hang over him. That decision has been made this morning. John Terry
:12:38. > :12:43.has been informed and he will no longer captain the England team.
:12:43. > :12:46.The FA surely hopes that will calm everything down. We have the
:12:46. > :12:51.European Championships coming up. All the speculation about John
:12:51. > :12:54.Terry can go, but we have not heard from John Terry about how he feels.
:12:54. > :12:58.Still to hear from John Terry on that. That was the aim of the FA,
:12:58. > :13:01.to remove that issue as they go into a major tournament. They have
:13:01. > :13:10.a go at the end of this month against the Netherlands and it
:13:10. > :13:14.would have inevitably cropped up. - - they have a game. They have acted
:13:14. > :13:18.today to remove that possibility. But there is no question of him not
:13:18. > :13:23.being in the squad if selected on a player bases? That is not clear.
:13:23. > :13:29.The captaincy has been removed, but Fabio Capello is very keen to
:13:29. > :13:34.include John Terry. We will wait to see any reaction from Fabio Capello
:13:34. > :13:40.and John Terry as the day goes on. This is BBC World News. More to

:13:52. > :13:57.On Saturday, voter's right across Russia are expected to take to the
:13:57. > :14:01.streets as they demand free and fair elections. The presidential
:14:01. > :14:05.vote is just one month away. People are very unhappy about the lack of
:14:05. > :14:15.credible opponents to Vladimir Putin. How widespread and deep is
:14:15. > :14:19.
:14:19. > :14:22.that protest movement? We have gone I have come to the basement, where
:14:22. > :14:30.secret plans are being drawn up for an unauthorised protest march
:14:30. > :14:33.against what these people maintained to be stolen
:14:33. > :14:38.parliamentary elections. They say that democracy does not go much
:14:38. > :14:42.further than this room in Putin's Russia. This is how their last
:14:42. > :14:48.demonstration ended. The authorities are taking some of the
:14:48. > :14:54.toughest measures in Russia against the protest movements. One of the
:14:54. > :14:58.organisers has seen worse. He told me how he was tortured by corrupt
:14:58. > :15:01.policeman, then driven in handcuffs and dumped in this hole in the
:15:02. > :15:11.frozen river. He defeated his tormentors in the court and now he

:15:13. > :15:20.If we leave things as they are, our country will once again turn into a
:15:20. > :15:22.giant prison like it was in Soviet times. But in a nearby town, the
:15:22. > :15:27.polluted heart of the Soviet chemical weapons programme,
:15:27. > :15:32.political change is already in the air. Despite the fact that Soviet
:15:32. > :15:38.era factories poisoned this city, it's the Communist Party which has
:15:38. > :15:43.just won the most votes in the parliamentary elections here. This
:15:43. > :15:48.pensioner, a former Putin supporter, told me why he had just lost his
:15:48. > :15:51.vote. It was a protest vote. We wanted to show Putin and his party
:15:51. > :15:55.they're not the only option so they'll finally listen to the
:15:55. > :16:03.people. But is the Kremlin listening? And
:16:03. > :16:06.how will it react? This weekend's marchs are the next test.
:16:06. > :16:09.The United Nations says that the famine in Somalia is now over. It

:16:31. > :16:32.
:16:32. > :16:37.remains serious and could deteriorate. You're watching BBC
:16:38. > :16:42.World News. The headlines: Egypt is braced for further unrest
:16:42. > :16:46.after Friday prayers as protesters expressed anger over Wednesday's
:16:46. > :16:50.deadly football riot. 200 people are now reported to have
:16:50. > :16:54.died in Europe's bitter cold snap with forecasters warning the big
:16:54. > :16:57.freeze will tighten its grip over the weekend.
:16:57. > :17:00.Here in the UK, a senior government minister has resigned after being
:17:00. > :17:09.told he'll be prosecuted over allegations that he lied to avoid a
:17:09. > :17:12.driving ban for speeding. The Energy and Climate Change Secretary,
:17:12. > :17:19.Chris Huhne, denies a claim that he persuaded his former wife to accept
:17:19. > :17:21.penalty points on his behalf in 2003. Other Liberal Democrat
:17:21. > :17:25.ministers within the coalition Government will now be reshuffled
:17:25. > :17:29.to replace him. Joining me from London is our political
:17:29. > :17:34.correspondent Rob Watson. This has finally come to a head. It sort of
:17:34. > :17:40.sets off a chain reaction, doesn't it? It does indeed. To be fair,
:17:40. > :17:43.this is hardly going to rock the coalition. Chris Huhne was one of
:17:43. > :17:47.the most senior Liberal Democrats within the coalition. He's not
:17:47. > :17:51.hugely well known publicly, and the coalition will survive. Of course,
:17:51. > :17:56.there will have to be some balancing between the two halves of
:17:56. > :18:00.the coalition to make sure about whoever his replacement will be.
:18:00. > :18:05.don't know that yet then? We're not sure. We have strong hints. Again,
:18:05. > :18:09.I think it will be someone who isn't a household name in Britain,
:18:09. > :18:13.but it will be more about keeping the balance as it was.
:18:13. > :18:19.resignation was pretty instant, wasn't it - all clearly understood,
:18:19. > :18:24.I guess, that should the situation to go ahead and prosecute emerge,
:18:24. > :18:27.he would step down. It's also something he strongly denies?
:18:27. > :18:30.Absolutely. It is something of an extraordinary case because it
:18:30. > :18:39.started off with something extremely minor - a speeding
:18:39. > :18:42.offence in 2003, but he's now - and his ex-wife faced with an extremely
:18:42. > :18:45.serious criminal charge, perverting the course of justice because the
:18:45. > :18:49.allegation is although he was driving the speeding car, he asked
:18:49. > :18:54.his wife to pick up the penalty point, but absolutely no doubt he
:18:54. > :18:58.had to resign from the Government. One thing that's worth noting -
:18:58. > :19:04.he's a nicety individual. He's again insisted on his innocence. He
:19:04. > :19:07.doesn't look as though he's going to back way from that. There is no
:19:07. > :19:10.presumption because of the nature of the coalition it will be a
:19:10. > :19:14.member of his own party that preplaces him? I don't think there
:19:14. > :19:16.is a doubt about that at all. This will be a reshuffle amongst the
:19:16. > :19:20.Liberal Democrat minority within the coalition. I don't think it's
:19:20. > :19:24.going to lead to some wider shape- up. I don't think you're going to
:19:24. > :19:27.see huge numbers of Cabinet posts swapping hands. This will just be a
:19:27. > :19:32.question of replacing him. Thank you very much.
:19:32. > :19:37.Right. We're going to go on to the situation in Egypt now. Of course,
:19:37. > :19:41.there's been considerable trouble overnight once again. The Health
:19:41. > :19:48.Ministry talking about 1,400 people injured in the latest clashes. We
:19:48. > :19:52.can get the very latest from our correspondent in Cairo - at the
:19:52. > :19:57.point of which the number of protesters ga gathering after
:19:57. > :20:00.Friday prayers is growing all the time. Yes, you can see behind me -
:20:00. > :20:04.these are not the numbers we have seen certainly when some Friday
:20:04. > :20:08.protests have been called, but we can see certainly people are
:20:08. > :20:12.continuing to march from mosques where remembrances are taking place
:20:12. > :20:16.to remember those killed in Wednesday night's violence. At the
:20:16. > :20:20.moment, people are really congregating on that side of Tahrir
:20:20. > :20:25.Square, close to the Interior Ministry. This has been the target
:20:25. > :20:28.of angry clashes between police, who are guarding the Interior
:20:29. > :20:32.Ministry and the people overnight, and there has been tear gas used.
:20:32. > :20:37.What we have seen - there are actually some concrete blocks just
:20:37. > :20:41.out of sight - a kind of wall which for the past few weeks has been
:20:41. > :20:46.keeping protesters apart from the police around the Interior Ministry.
:20:46. > :20:51.They started to dismamt this overnight block by block. It feels
:20:51. > :20:55.from a distance as if Egypt is slipping into that very dangerous
:20:55. > :20:59.febrile state again. Is that overstating it? Certainly, that's
:20:59. > :21:05.how it has looked for the last couple of days. This violence at
:21:05. > :21:10.the football stadium in Port Said which left more than 74 dead then
:21:10. > :21:16.led to angry clashes not just here in Cairo, but also in other parts
:21:16. > :21:20.of the country, for example, in the port city of Suez where opposition
:21:20. > :21:23.protest hers a bad relationship with the police, where many people
:21:23. > :21:28.were killed during the revolution last year. At least two people,
:21:28. > :21:32.again, killed there overnight. But what's really got Egyptians angry
:21:33. > :21:37.is, again, this sense of insecurity in the country, this idea that
:21:37. > :21:41.people aren't safe as they go about their everyday activities. That's
:21:41. > :21:45.certainly the feeling I am getting from a lot of people here in the
:21:45. > :21:51.square. These protesters - many of them are football a fans who
:21:51. > :21:54.support the club which was playing away to the Port Said team on
:21:54. > :21:57.Wednesday. Most of the people who were killed came from this club.
:21:57. > :22:01.Some of them were playing outside the football ground, which is just
:22:01. > :22:05.a short distance away. They have come here now very angry with the
:22:05. > :22:10.military. They hold the military in responsible after one year in power.
:22:10. > :22:15.There still is no - people do not trust the police to keep law and
:22:15. > :22:19.order in the country, and they hold them responsible. There is also a
:22:20. > :22:24.lot of conspiracy theories around, perhaps these football fans were
:22:24. > :22:29.allowed to be targeted because they were among revolutionary forces.
:22:29. > :22:32.They provided some of the hard-core group of activists who have stayed
:22:32. > :22:39.here in the square and continued protests against military rule.
:22:39. > :22:43.Thank you very much indeed. Worldwide malaria deaths may be
:22:43. > :22:47.much higher than previously estimated according to research
:22:47. > :22:53.published in the British Medical Journal the Lancet. The scientists
:22:53. > :22:55.say 1.2 million people died of Malibu in 20 so. That is a figure
:22:55. > :23:02.which is literally double the estimates from the World Health
:23:02. > :23:05.Organisation. The research also shows 42% of deaths from malaria
:23:05. > :23:12.are in children under five and adults.
:23:12. > :23:15.Our health correspondent has more details. We knew malaria was a huge
:23:15. > :23:20.children particularly in sub- Saharan Africa particularly in
:23:20. > :23:23.children. To find out the deaths may be twice what we have
:23:23. > :23:27.previously estimated is terrible. What people are concentrating on
:23:27. > :23:32.here is the methodology this group have used to try and, you know,
:23:32. > :23:37.cholate these figures. Way out of kilter with what the World Health
:23:37. > :23:41.Organisation says. As you say, 1.2 million deaths in 2010 compared to
:23:41. > :23:48.650,000 deaths according to the WHO in the same year. What they have
:23:48. > :23:51.looked at is data sets that have previously been looked at, built
:23:51. > :23:55.some sophisticated computer modelling. They have also looked at
:23:56. > :23:59.deaths in the past that have been wrongly attributed to deaths other
:24:00. > :24:06.than malaria. It all sounds like pretty gloomy news for those who
:24:06. > :24:09.think there may be an end to malaria. Yes, we have heard lots of
:24:09. > :24:12.mixed messages about malaria over the course of the last few years.
:24:12. > :24:16.Whilst some people are talking about eradication, a lot of people
:24:16. > :24:22.are saying increasingly that's not possible. There is an underlying
:24:22. > :24:28.message here in this data and also in the WHO's data which is we have
:24:28. > :24:32.moved away from the peak. According to this new study, the number of
:24:32. > :24:36.malaria deaths peaked in 2004 at 1.8 million. They're putting that
:24:36. > :24:42.down to the work of international donors, organisations like the
:24:42. > :24:47.Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria and all the good work they
:24:47. > :24:53.have been doing in terms of bed nets and health care.
:24:53. > :24:59.A unique exhibition opened in London. It's showing works of art
:24:59. > :25:04.painted by chimps and elephants. Is it art? David Sillito went to have
:25:04. > :25:09.a look. So here it is - a new exhibition -
:25:09. > :25:19.this painting - it's obviously a plant, isn't it? We can see the
:25:19. > :25:19.
:25:19. > :25:24.leaves here, stems, flowers, and it was done by - an elephant. Yes,
:25:24. > :25:29.that's a trunk. An elephant painted it with a little guidance via its
:25:29. > :25:35.ear. The elephant holding the paintbrush
:25:35. > :25:39.in its trunk and the handler, almost like a joystick, is tugging
:25:39. > :25:46.ever so slightly in different directions. So the elephant can
:25:46. > :25:52.feel the movement in its ear and do this? Exactly. It's an amazing show
:25:52. > :26:00.of how sensitive and dexterous an elephant is. This was painted by
:26:00. > :26:09.Bocari, a chimp. The exhibition is taking place in the Grand Museum of
:26:09. > :26:14.Zoology. The question is if we accept that splodges and squiggles
:26:14. > :26:18.made by humans are about, then why isn't this? These ape artists seem
:26:18. > :26:22.to enjoy painting. They certainly let you know when they have had
:26:22. > :26:28.enough. It is of course not new. In the '50s, Congo, the painting chimp,
:26:28. > :26:35.was a TV star. It used to be a criticism of abstract art saying a
:26:35. > :26:39.chimp could do it. 50 years on, Congo's work recently sold at
:26:39. > :26:43.auction for $26,000. I wonder how much our next exhibit
:26:43. > :26:49.could go for. How many prawns would you expect in a prawn cocktail? Now
