:01:49. > :01:53.security building in a Aleppo. They are showing bodies and so on, being
:01:54. > :02:01.bulldozed away. Reports from activists said the blasts were felt
:02:01. > :02:09.at least a kilometre away, Windows shaken. They are blaming what they
:02:09. > :02:14.called terrorists for these blasts, the first of their kind in Aleppo.
:02:14. > :02:17.Activist groups are already blaming the government. They said they saw
:02:17. > :02:22.suspicious moves by a security people shortly before the blast,
:02:22. > :02:26.leading them to think that something was going to happen. They
:02:26. > :02:33.blame the regime for blasts which have clearly played to the
:02:33. > :02:39.advantage of the regime, because they can blame terrorists. I am
:02:39. > :02:43.reading here on one news agency that add television presenter said
:02:43. > :02:51.that the blast went off at a public garden near where children had been
:02:51. > :02:56.playing. How secure are these buildings?
:02:56. > :03:01.That of course is the question. Similarly in Damascus itself, there
:03:01. > :03:06.were two car bombings in December, supposedly suicide bombings,
:03:06. > :03:10.carried out again in near security buildings, and questions are asked
:03:10. > :03:14.as to how people driving car bombs can get so close to security
:03:14. > :03:20.buildings. That well again persuade people who support the opposition
:03:20. > :03:24.that this was a regime job aimed at discrediting the uprising by
:03:24. > :03:33.tarnishing them all as terrorists. We have to keep an open mind, we

:03:43. > :03:49.deeper cuts as a condition for a second bailout, with time running
:03:49. > :03:51.out for Greece to avoid a messy debt default. The so-called
:03:51. > :03:54.eurogroup also wants a cast-iron guarantee that the measures will be

:04:06. > :04:11.months. The BBC's Athens Correspondent Mark Lowen told me
:04:11. > :04:14.that the Greeks are likely to resist further austerity cuts.
:04:14. > :04:19.think it is going to be difficult to persuade an increasingly angry
:04:19. > :04:26.Greek public that this is the way to go. The austerity package goes
:04:26. > :04:33.quite far. At 22% cut in the minimal wage, 15,000 civil-service
:04:33. > :04:41.laid off. But Brussels wants them to go further. You can see behind
:04:41. > :04:44.me the crowds are gathering outside Parliament. They are angry at the
:04:44. > :04:48.programme of yet more austerity cuts to come, given the fact that
:04:48. > :04:52.Greece is in its worst recession since World War Two, and many feel
:04:52. > :04:56.that the package of reforms and cuts is simply exacerbating the
:04:56. > :05:04.situation and driving up unemployment, which has now soared
:05:04. > :05:08.over 20%. Angela Merkel warning of catastrophe if Greece defaults. Is
:05:08. > :05:15.there a sense that the government would be allowed to default, that
:05:15. > :05:18.they will somehow get the cash that they need to stumble forward?
:05:18. > :05:22.you find here in Greece is that there are deadlines imposed which
:05:23. > :05:27.come and go, and then at the 11th hour, Greece is pulled back from
:05:27. > :05:34.the financial abyss. That is because the fear of a Greek default
:05:35. > :05:39.is still too great. Fear in Athens and the wider eurozone. If Greece
:05:39. > :05:43.went bankrupt, which it would do without these bail-out funds, then
:05:43. > :05:48.there would be questions and a fear of contagion spreading to other
:05:48. > :05:51.countries like Portugal and Ireland. And decrees were to leave the
:05:51. > :05:54.eurozone altogether, it would mean that the ideological basis of the
:05:54. > :05:57.eurozone would crumble. And that is something that strikes fear into
:05:57. > :06:05.the hearts of politicians throughout Europe, and Angela
:06:05. > :06:08.Merkel has said that if the euro fails then Europe fails. On Sunday

:06:20. > :06:23.demonstration planned for Sunday night during the reading of the
:06:23. > :06:27.bill, so the government faces a tough few months with social unrest
:06:27. > :06:32.ahead. These are the live pictures coming
:06:32. > :06:36.to us from Athens. We have seen what looks like many, many police
:06:37. > :06:42.coming under fire from what looked like fire bombs. They keep running
:06:42. > :06:47.forward and then having to go back again, with many fired missiles
:06:47. > :06:55.being thrown in their direction. And of course we have seen quite
:06:55. > :06:59.vociferous protests. Many police on the streets. This is a 48-hour
:06:59. > :07:04.strike, people really unhappy with the the level of cuts that they are
:07:04. > :07:08.having to face in their daily lives, their jobs, their job security,
:07:08. > :07:12.their pensions, and just how much they can manage to live on each day
:07:12. > :07:19.and feed their families. People are taking to the streets, and this is
:07:19. > :07:25.what we are seeing. Some sort of missiles being thrown, and the riot
:07:25. > :07:32.police out in force. Juliette Foster joins me now with
:07:32. > :07:39.the business news. The so-called austerity measures are being warned
:07:39. > :07:42.about, because they are looking at having to deal with this debt. How
:07:42. > :07:49.do they repay this debt when they are having all these austerity
:07:49. > :07:52.measures imposed upon them? It will not stimulate the economy.
:07:52. > :07:56.Officials have said that in terms of the current plan being put
:07:56. > :08:00.forward, there are 10 or 15 issues which don't quite work, but we are
:08:00. > :08:08.not quite sure what they are. The Greeks have said, we are cutting to
:08:08. > :08:14.the bone here. They are talking about wage cuts of 22%, firing at
:08:14. > :08:17.15,000 civil servants. But this will not work if they default. No
:08:17. > :08:22.one wants to see than default, and they have got to redeem billions of
:08:22. > :08:30.dollars worth of bonds and by March 20th. And if they don't have the
:08:30. > :08:35.money to do this, it could unleash the financial tsunami. We can see
:08:35. > :08:41.the huge numbers of people in the main square in Athens, aerial shots
:08:42. > :08:50.as well showing people running. They have been fairly peaceful up
:08:50. > :08:53.until now, as far as we can make out. You can see the cameras are
:08:53. > :09:01.tracking people running, and the police seem to be particularly in
:09:01. > :09:06.evidence at that end of the square. Well, this was all started by the
:09:06. > :09:11.banks, and they are still under the spotlight, not least for bonuses.
:09:12. > :09:14.What about Bob Diamond? He is the head of Barclays Bank.
:09:15. > :09:17.Pre-tax profits at Barclays are down slightly - the bank said it
:09:18. > :09:23.suffered a 3% drop in net profits to �5.9 billion, that's $9.3
:09:24. > :09:26.billion. It says its key investment bank arm ended last year with its
:09:27. > :09:32.worst quarter for three years as the eurozone debt crisis hit bond
:09:32. > :09:36.trading activity. But it is bankers' bonuses that are catching
:09:36. > :09:43.all the attention at the moment. The total bonus pool at Barclays
:09:43. > :09:45.was down 25%, and total incentive awards down 26% against 2010. Many
:09:45. > :09:49.people were angered last year when Barclays' chief executive Bob
:09:49. > :09:55.Diamond was awarded $9 million. He's allegedly in line for nearly
:09:55. > :09:57.$5 million this year, but we have no confirmation of that amount yet.
:09:57. > :10:00.Ralph Silva, banking analyst with the SRN Consultancy, says if it
:10:00. > :10:09.becomes difficult to compensate people with bonuses in Britain,
:10:09. > :10:13.more business and profits will happen outside the UK.
:10:13. > :10:19.There is always risks involved. It is the nature of the business, it
:10:19. > :10:24.is a risky business. So we have to pay these investors to keep them,
:10:24. > :10:32.so that they don't move on. Bob Diamond is American, and Barclays
:10:32. > :10:34.makes most of its investment banking money in America.
:10:34. > :10:37.Ralph Silva there. New monthly figures indicate that China's
:10:38. > :10:40.exports fell by 0.5% in January compared with last year. Imports to
:10:41. > :10:43.China also fell. The figures were affected by the fact that the
:10:44. > :10:46.Chinese New Year holiday, when most factories close, took place a month
:10:47. > :10:49.earlier than last year. But there are still worries that China is
:10:49. > :10:52.facing a deeper slowdown than first expected. Earlier this week, the
:10:52. > :10:56.International Monetary Fund said the slowdown in Europe could cut
:10:56. > :10:59.China's growth rate by almost half this year.

:11:10. > :11:19.agreement have been taking place since 2008 with little success amid
:11:19. > :11:22.a number of tariff and visa issues. The deal is expected to be
:11:22. > :11:25.concluded in a few months. Dr Jayshree Sengupta, a senior fellow
:11:25. > :11:32.at the Observer Foundation think tank in New Delhi, said there are
:11:32. > :11:38.positives and negatives in this relationship. This fear that there
:11:38. > :11:42.will be dumping of goods, and also that we cannot open up the retail
:11:42. > :11:46.trade right away, and we cannot allow banking services in
:11:46. > :11:52.immediately. Those are the negatives. The otherwise, there are
:11:52. > :11:56.not many problems which will be problematic and the future. So I
:11:56. > :12:03.think these are the negatives, India being still a developing
:12:03. > :12:07.country, just cannot manage to come to the same level as the EU. That
:12:07. > :12:10.is the main problem, I think. Spain's government will unveil
:12:10. > :12:13.reforms to its rigid labour laws later today. The hope is they will

:12:16. > :12:24.not completely severing links with trade unions ahead of key regional
:12:24. > :12:27.elections. Our correspondent in Madrid, Tom Burridge, explains.
:12:27. > :12:33.People working in Spain's public sector will in the future have to
:12:33. > :12:36.work longer hours for the same pay. Unions are not happy. It is the
:12:36. > :12:42.private sector which is really suffering. The latest figures show
:12:42. > :12:49.nearly one in four in Spain are out of work. The government is ready to
:12:49. > :12:53.announce its latest economic reforms. TRANSLATION: Unfortunately,
:12:53. > :12:59.these figures are not getting better in the short term. During
:12:59. > :13:03.2012, they will be worse. We have to pay special attention the easing
:13:03. > :13:10.economic growth and job creation. There are several measures aimed at
:13:10. > :13:13.cutting unemployment. They can expect a reduction to severance
:13:13. > :13:17.payments, so that employers would be put off hiring people on long-
:13:17. > :13:22.term contracts, because at the moment, it is expensive to fire
:13:22. > :13:26.them. Companies will have more power to set wages. And the elderly
:13:26. > :13:31.will be able to work part time at the same time as collecting their
:13:31. > :13:35.pensions, according to a newspaper. The Spanish economy minister said
:13:35. > :13:39.the reforms will be aggressive. One of the key targets will be to
:13:39. > :13:45.reduce youth unemployment, which now stands at around one in two of
:13:45. > :13:48.those under 25 who are seeking work. Getting people back to work his key
:13:48. > :13:56.in creating spending and growth in a country which is heading into

:21:59. > :22:02.continues to grip parts of Europe. Close to 140 people have died in
:22:02. > :22:05.the past ten days, the highest number in Europe, as temperatures
:22:05. > :22:09.have fallen to nearly minus 30 degrees Celsius at night. Among
:22:09. > :22:16.those who have suffered the most in Ukraine are the country's homeless.
:22:16. > :22:26.David Stern reports. This morning it is a frigid miners
:22:26. > :22:28.
:22:28. > :22:32.17 degrees, but that does not stop some gay -- Sergey. Every day, he
:22:32. > :22:37.stands outside the main train station, looking for work. He left
:22:37. > :22:43.his home in eastern Ukraine three weeks ago. He says that the job
:22:43. > :22:48.market there is terrible but in Kiev is not much better.
:22:48. > :22:51.TRANSLATION: Doesn't that much work right now because it isn't called.
:22:52. > :22:57.I am hoping family when it gets warmer there will be more employers
:22:57. > :23:03.and more work. He stands outside the train station and to you can't
:23:03. > :23:09.bear the colt back any longer. Then he returns to his home. He heated
:23:09. > :23:14.shelters set up by the Ukrainian government. There are 3,000 of
:23:14. > :23:20.these tents across the country. 10 in Kiev alone. Here, the homeless
:23:20. > :23:27.can get a hot meal and a warm place to sleep. The shelter is a godsend.
:23:27. > :23:31.Before it opened, he slept in the train station. The homeless
:23:31. > :23:36.population in Kiev numbers more than 10,000. There may not be
:23:36. > :23:40.enough places in the shelters for everyone. Well over half of those
:23:40. > :23:45.who have perished during the cold spell have died on the streets.
:23:45. > :23:49.Some experts blame the Ukrainian government for the high death toll
:23:49. > :23:55.among the homeless. Others say that the country is suffering from the
:23:55. > :23:59.weak economy, and abnormally sub- zero weather. This is one of the
:23:59. > :24:03.pedestrian underpasses under the main square. At night, temperatures
:24:04. > :24:11.can reach minus ten. But some people are forced to make this
:24:11. > :24:16.their home. Ukraine is used to cold winter weather but still the
:24:16. > :24:20.duration of this cold spell has taken many here by surprise. Right
:24:20. > :24:25.now, for many Ukrainians, especially among those on the
:24:25. > :24:28.margins of society, spring seems a distant prospect.
:24:28. > :24:32.The Africa Cup of Nations football tournament is nearing its close.
:24:32. > :24:35.Gabon has used the event to try and boost its profile and make
:24:35. > :24:40.improvements to the country. But, as Alex Capstick now reports from
:24:40. > :24:44.Libreville, it has been a difficult journey.
:24:44. > :24:49.The stadium which was meant to stage the final of the Africa Cup
:24:49. > :24:53.of Nations. Construction delays meant those plans were abandoned.
:24:53. > :24:58.It devised the lack of progress made in the years after a Gabon won
:24:58. > :25:03.the right to can host the tournament. In its place, a venue
:25:03. > :25:07.built by the Chinese free of charge. Everything here it seems was left
:25:07. > :25:13.to the last minute. People acknowledge that pays only picked
:25:13. > :25:21.up when the current President succeeded and took control. It was
:25:21. > :25:31.the challenge. We have succeeded because we are all together in this.
:25:31. > :25:32.
:25:32. > :25:36.Very few were against it, many were behind it. Staging the Africa Cup
:25:37. > :25:41.of Nations is part of a broader strategy to cut a new path for the
:25:41. > :25:46.country's economy. Oil suppliers are dwindling since Gabon needs to
:25:46. > :25:49.find other ways of making money. The President wants to see more
:25:49. > :25:54.plants like this in Libreville which possesses its own timber
:25:54. > :25:58.instead of exporting raw materials for a lower return. Another element
:25:58. > :26:03.of the Government's plan was to turn Gabon into a tourist
:26:03. > :26:09.destination. People do come here but not in large numbers. To tempt
:26:10. > :26:13.them, seafronts are getting a make over. Co-hosting the Africa Cup of
:26:13. > :26:18.Nations has provided the industry with a much needed boost but a lot
:26:18. > :26:24.of work still needs to be done. Travel experts want more customers
:26:24. > :26:28.from abroad but say attracting them can be difficult. It is very
:26:28. > :26:38.expensive. We need more transportation in general,
:26:38. > :26:42.aeroplanes, trains, cars, roads. But, for the past few weeks, the
