An immediate ceasefire in Syria and access for emergency aid - the | :00:14. | :00:23. | |

cop -- helicopter that broke apart on landing. An international | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
conference on Syria is expected to call for an immediate ceasefire to | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
allow urgent access to Homs and other areas under attack. The | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
Friends of Syria group brings together foreign ministers and | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
senior officials from about 70 Arab and Western countries for a meeting | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
in Tunisia. Syrian opposition leaders are also attending. | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
Meanwhile, the former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan has been | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
appointed special envoy to Syria. Latest reports from opposition | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
activists in Homs say continued shelling has today killed another | :01:30. | :01:40. | |
:01:40. | :01:43. | ||
five people. Mounting dismay at the plight of civilians caught in the | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
spiralling violence in Syria, now in Tunisia, the outside world today | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
will be searching for a way to help them. We hope to see new pledges of | :01:52. | :01:59. | |
emergency assistance for Syrians court in Al-Asad's stranglehold and | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
international corporation and pressure on Damascus to convince it | :02:05. | :02:11. | |
to allow humanitarian aid to those who need it most. All ready, | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
Syria's main opposition group has called for Freeserve pastures, one | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
to bring in aid from Jordan to Derek, one from Lebanon into Homs | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
and the third from Turkey into it lid. Over 70 countries will be | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
represented in Tunis, opposition leaders hope the sheer size of the | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
conference will pile on the pressure. I ideally you would like | :02:32. | :02:38. | |
to see this conference declaring in Syria in humanitarian crisis, this | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
would force international powers to act immediately and forcefully in | :02:42. | :02:49. | |
order to stop the atrocities committed. But the problem is no | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
aid can reach Homs unless President Assad agrees to a truce and there | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
is no sign yet he will. The one country might have listened to, | :02:57. | :03:05. | |
Russia, has refused to come to the conference. There will be a | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
impressive array of countries to show support for there Syrian | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
opposition but when it comes to immediate humanitarian aid for | :03:13. | :03:23. | |
:03:23. | :03:24. | ||
those people inside Homs, that will So what might be achieved at the | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
conference. I'd put that question to be Professor of International | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
Relations in the Middle-East from LSE. We should not expect any major | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
breakthrough decisions. The major goal of the meeting is to increase | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
the pressure on the government and find ways to help the opposition. | :03:44. | :03:53. | |
In the words of Mr Hague, the idea is to find the Western powers, Arab | :03:53. | :04:00. | |
League, of Turkey to increase pressure on the government to hope | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
they will buckle under the pressure. I do not think President Assad will | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
answer the demands by the Western powers. And Russia and China are | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
not taking part so they maintain their position. Think of Libya, a | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
similar grouping took place, both Russia and China were part of the | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
grouping, the fat this meeting taking place in Tunis tells us a | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
great deal about the failure international -- the failure of | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
international diplomacy. This meeting is taking place outside of | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
the United Nations. Both Russia and China are not part of it which | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
tells you a great deal about the limits of the options the Western | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
powers and Syria's friends have and that is why I do not think we | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
should expect a major critical breakthrough decisions. I am not | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
trying to say the meeting is that important. The international | :04:52. | :04:58. | |
community has options in the sense that they are trying to strangle | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
the Syrian economy, in the sense of arming the opposition but so far | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
the Western powers in the international community have not | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
made a decision to go to militarised the uprising because if | :05:09. | :05:19. | |
:05:19. | :05:21. | ||
they do this would plunge Syria into civil war. Hundreds of | :05:21. | :05:27. | |
protesters have gathered in Afghanistan. Five different groups | :05:27. | :05:37. | |
:05:37. | :05:43. | ||
of protesters are heading towards Protesters have taken to the | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
streets after Friday prayers and not just here in the capital where | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
we have demonstrations in several districts, but also in a number of | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
parts of the country in the north, west and east. So far not much | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
happening in the south. In the capital five different locations | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
are involved. The authorities are concerned about two of those | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
demonstrations which were heading towards sensitive locations. We | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
know the Afghan National Army has fired in the air to deter one group | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
of protesters and they ran a road which leads to the Afghan Ministry | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
of Defence but also to NATO headquarters and the US Embassy. | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
Today we are seeing that the authorities seem to be acting early | :06:26. | :06:32. | |
to block protests getting close to any of those installations. | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
Although the demonstrations are taking place we are not so far | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
received reports of violence on the scale we have seen a recent days. | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
There is one report of a protester being wounded in the capital by | :06:42. | :06:47. | |
police firing in the air but so far that is the any report of Casualty | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
-- reported casualty. Does President Karzai think there is | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
anything more that can be done to bring this protest to an end? | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
government is stressing that the appropriate response is to wait for | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
the government inquiry that is taking place, a joint inquiry being | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
carried out by Afghan representatives and NATO | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
representatives. President Kasai has welcomed the apology he | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
received from Barack Obama and said it was an appropriate apology. We | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
have had a call from a group of Afghan lawmakers and some religious | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
leaders who are part of the probe into the events. They issued a call | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
for restraint, they asked demonstrators not to depart any | :07:26. | :07:32. | |
further protests and stay off the streets. -- take part in any. But | :07:32. | :07:38. | |
many are using the anger afghans feel to incite violence. We had | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
appeals by the Taliban are asking people to get out onto the streets | :07:41. | :07:47. | |
to target NATO bases, convoys, forces. The Taliban said they | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
should be captured, beaten and killed. Undoubtedly, authorities | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
are concerned about the Taliban as well as incitement coming from | :07:55. | :08:03. | |
other areas in some religious leaders and parliamentarians. | :08:03. | :08:09. | |
looks like you will be a fierce weekend of campaigning between | :08:09. | :08:16. | |
Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard. A ballot will be held on Monday. Mr | :08:16. | :08:22. | |
Rudd quit the government on Monday. He says the party will lose the | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
next election unless he is put back in the top job. I believe that to | :08:27. | :08:33. | |
do the best for Australia and Labour things had to change. It is | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
no secret that our government has a lot of work to do if it is to | :08:37. | :08:44. | |
regain the confidence of the Australian people. Julia has lost | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
the trust of the Australian people and starting on Monday I want to | :08:48. | :08:54. | |
start restoring that trust. response Julia Gillard told a news | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
conference the choice of leader should be based on strength of | :08:56. | :09:03. | |
character. The choice the nation faces in my -- the nation and my | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
parliamentary colleagues based on Monday is the choice as to who has | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
got the character, temperament, strength to deliver on behalf of | :09:10. | :09:16. | |
the Australian people. This is not celebrity Big Brother, it is about | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
working out who can lead the nation, who has the ability to get things | :09:21. | :09:30. | |
done? Austrian doctors T2 -- treating the Dutch prince says he | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
suffered brain damage after being buried by an avalanche last week | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
and may not regain consciousness. He was buried under snow for about | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
15 minutes before being rescued while on his skiing holiday. MRI | :09:43. | :09:48. | |
scans have shown his brain suffered massive damage in the avalanche. He | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
is 43, he will be moved at a later date to a private clinic for | :09:52. | :10:00. | |
further treatment. Now the business news... | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
Finance ministers and central bankers from the G20 group of | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
nations will gather in Mexico later. The question will be funding for | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
Europe. Eurozone officials are asking countries with big exchange | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
reserves to lend billions of Bob dollars to a financial stability | :10:16. | :10:23. | |
fund. -- billions of dollars. Eurozone leaders have been on a | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
long running charm offensive with China to persuade it to bolster | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
their bail-out fund. In Mexico they will press their suit again, but | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
they face a tough diplomatic challenge. China is angry at how | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
European states have treated it since the last time it helped to | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
avert a financial disaster. China, Russia, Brazil, India all | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
contributed to the IMF after 2008 and were promised a return more | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
power and influence in the IMF. That deal has not been delivered on. | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
The Europeans in particular have been slow to give up their seats to | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
let that happen. Eurozone countries are building up a firewall to | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
prevent the debt crisis in Greece spreading to countries like Italy | :11:05. | :11:10. | |
and Spain. The fighting fund to counter any run on the markets | :11:10. | :11:18. | |
against their government bombs. The current fund contains 410 billion | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
euros. In July there will be a permanent fire well, the European | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
stability mechanism which will have 500 billion euros in it. Chinese | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
leaders have told the Europeans to build the wall higher. To an extent | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
it is a storming tactic, it is saying to Europe help yourself | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
first, then we will come and support you. The idea that China, a | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
so-called red light, could come riding to Europe's rescue is | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
helping to calm fears on international financial markets, | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
staving off the run on euros government bonds and even if China | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
is writing cheques right now, the idea will eventually stepping is | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
also helping reassure the markets. And that buys eurozone governments | :12:03. | :12:12. | |
more time. Yearly profits for Volkswagen | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
doubled in 2011 after a delivered a record number of vehicles. They | :12:15. | :12:22. | |
made net profits of 15.8 billion euros, around $21 billion, compared | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
with the 7.2 billion euros it earned in 2010. It delivered more | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
than a 0.2 million vehicles to its global customers, an increase of | :12:28. | :12:36. | |
almost 15% on the 2010 figures. I am joined by our BBC business | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
reporter and a car industry analyst. How do they do it and why are they | :12:40. | :12:45. | |
doing so well? For starters they need to boost volume, they have | :12:45. | :12:51. | |
done that by introducing classics like the Golf convertible or the | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
new Beetle, all with cutting-edge models from Aldi that I eating into | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
and catching up with BMW. On the other hand, there is the profit | :13:00. | :13:06. | |
thing. They are benefiting from economies of scale, they are | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
sharing parts across all the different brands they have within | :13:09. | :13:18. | |
the group and this is cutting costs. We are talking big economies like | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
China, really turned on by their brand. Absolutely. Although Europe | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
is one of the markets grabbing a lot of headlines because of all the | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
difficulties. China and the rest of Asia where growth is so strong, | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
that is the battleground up against the competition. Given they are | :13:34. | :13:39. | |
sitting on a pretty big cash pile, does that now mean buying Porsche | :13:39. | :13:45. | |
is a certainty? There are no certainties but the likelihood of | :13:45. | :13:50. | |
Porsche being part of the group in some way at some stage remains high. | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
It is not really about cash, it is about the complications due to the | :13:55. | :14:01. | |
way this long saga has been handled over the years. They have also said | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
they want to out strip and outpace General Motors as the world's | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
biggest car manufacturer. Is that a pipe dream, or sustainable? By some | :14:10. | :14:15. | |
measures they already are. They are worth about twice as much in terms | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
of market capitalisation, they are the second most valuable carmaker | :14:18. | :14:25. | |
after Toyota or. In terms of volume they arguably almost greater -- | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
also greater than General Motors because the figures include over a | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
million cars sold in China by a joint venture and according to some | :14:32. | :14:37. | |
analysts those figures should not be counted. They did not got state | :14:37. | :14:45. | |
The British bank, Lloyds, which is partly state-owned, has announced | :14:45. | :14:50. | |
that it made a huge loss last year. The bank's net loss of more than $4 | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
billion dwarfed its loss in 2010 of just over $500 million. The result | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
was partly because it had to pay billions of dollars in compensation | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
to people who were mis-sold insurance. The bank says it has | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
reduced bonus awards to its employees by 30% to less than $600 | :15:04. | :15:14. | |
:15:14. | :15:22. | ||
Time now to take a look at the financial markets. Some hope that | :15:22. | :15:28. | |
America holds the key. We are expecting some data coming through. | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
Consumer confidence numbers coming through from Michigan. Also about | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
how sales. If they are positive they will pick up on the data which | :15:37. | :15:43. | |
came out yesterday. It sends out the message that, even though | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
Europe is still wrestling with the crisis of the eurozone debt | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
situation, perhaps some hope is coming through from the United | :15:51. | :15:55. | |
States. We have had some pretty positive numbers heading in the | :15:55. | :16:05. | |
:16:05. | :16:08. | ||
A 4th inquest has begun into the death of a baby girl who | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
disappeared from a tent in the Australian outback more than 30 | :16:11. | :16:21. | |
:16:21. | :16:22. | ||
years ago. The girl's mother, Lindy Chamberlain, insisted she had been | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
taken by a wild dog - a dingo - while they were camping. She was | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
convicted of the baby's murder in 1982 but freed four years later | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
when the baby's jacket was found near a dingo's lair. Duncan Kennedy | :16:32. | :16:33. | |
reports. 31 years after her daughter disappeared, Lindy | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
Chamberlain was back in a courtroom, but this time to present new | :16:36. | :16:46. | |
evidence to a coroner. The girl was three years old when she vanished. | :16:46. | :16:53. | |
They were camping in the outback. The body was never found. In 1982, | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
Lindy Chamberlain was jailed for the murder. It was only when the | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
jacket turned up in a dingoes Den four years later that Mrs | :17:01. | :17:07. | |
Chamberlain was released. Rumours persisted over her involvement. She | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
and her former husband asked for a new hearing to present their own | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
findings, cataloguing dozens of dingo attacks on humans, dating | :17:15. | :17:21. | |
back to the 1980s. By calling for another inquest, they are looking | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
for one more thing in this long- running case. For a coroner to | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
record formally and finally that it was the dingo they killed their | :17:29. | :17:34. | |
daughter. After the hearing she spoke of her hopes in the case. | :17:34. | :17:40. | |
gives me hope this time that Australians will finally be warned | :17:40. | :17:48. | |
and realise that dingoes are a dangerous animal. I also hope that | :17:48. | :17:54. | |
this will give a final finding, which closes the inquest into my | :17:54. | :18:01. | |
daughter's death, which so far has been standing open and unfinished. | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
The coroner's ruling is expected next week. They believe that | :18:05. | :18:10. | |
dingoes will be officially blamed and end three decades of rumour, | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
speculation and heartache of what became Australia's most divisive | :18:13. | :18:23. | |
:18:23. | :18:27. | ||
Still to come: What you do with a bridge you cannot use any more? We | :18:27. | :18:37. | |

Thousands of residents of Syria have fled the country into | :18:43. | :18:48. | |
neighbouring countries, like Jordan. We have this report. No wonder some | :18:48. | :18:53. | |
of these children looked a bit bemused. The girls and boys and a | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
front three rows are all from Syria. A few weeks ago they were cowering | :18:58. | :19:03. | |
in their homes under fire from the guns of their own government. In | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
the safety of Jordan, some have been given places in local schools. | :19:08. | :19:13. | |
The latest shaky images from Syria show up anti-government protests in | :19:13. | :19:23. | |
:19:23. | :19:23. | ||
several towns. Despite the obvious dangers. Many are being killed and | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
there is a humanitarian crisis. This civil servant fled with his | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
family when he was ordered to shoot protesters in Homs. It has been | :19:33. | :19:38. | |
deeply traumatic, especially for the children. | :19:38. | :19:43. | |
TRANSLATION: Psychologically it has affected them really badly. They | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
would not leave my side because they were so scared. They were | :19:47. | :19:52. | |
afraid of any noise, asking me if it was a sniper or of a man. | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
Thousands of Syrian refugees have crossed these borders into the | :19:56. | :20:01. | |
safety of Jordan. We have learnt that Syrian officials on the other | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
side have been physically preventing people from leaving. | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
Those wanting to escape the fighting were having to do so | :20:08. | :20:14. | |
illegally, often through minefields. The town of Daraa, where there has | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
been heavy fighting, is visible from the Jordanian side. One | :20:19. | :20:27. | |
suggestion is to open an -- a humanitarian corridor. With more | :20:27. | :20:32. | |
than 70,000 Syrian refugees in Jordan, they raise a heavy burden | :20:32. | :20:37. | |

at a heavy burden. They are scared of coming to authorities. They are | :20:42. | :20:48. | |
scared of coming here. Preparations for a more permanent refugee camp | :20:48. | :20:54. | |
are already been made, as the fighting continues and more Syrians | :20:54. | :21:04. | |

The headlines: The friends of Syria group of 70 countries will call for | :21:22. | :21:28. | |
an immediate ceasefire and access for aid as they gather later in | :21:28. | :21:33. | |
Tunis. Protests have broken out across Afghanistan for a 4th day | :21:33. | :21:39. | |
against the burning of prams on a US base. There are reports from | :21:39. | :21:45. | |
southern Somalia of an air strike killing several Al-Shabab relatives | :21:45. | :21:53. | |
-- militants. It is not clear who carried out the raid. Our | :21:53. | :22:03. | |
:22:03. | :22:03. | ||
correspondent, based in Kenya, gave me more details. It certainly seems | :22:03. | :22:08. | |
to be a fairly comprehensive airstrike in this area, south of | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
the capital, Mogadishu. Al-Shabab have cordoned off the area where | :22:12. | :22:17. | |
the attack happened so it is difficult to get accurate | :22:17. | :22:22. | |
information. We are hearing at least two cars were destroyed and | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
four militants were killed. There are suggestions that three of the | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
four of foreign fighters who had gone to work for Al-Shabab in what | :22:30. | :22:36. | |
they see as a jihadist war. Who would have carried out the attack? | :22:36. | :22:40. | |
It is difficult to know. The Kenyans have been in Somalia, | :22:40. | :22:45. | |
fighting Al-Shabab in recent months. The Kenyans are saying it is not | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
them. The Americans rarely talk about any of their activities when | :22:48. | :22:55. | |
it comes to air strikes and trains. Interestingly, 24 hours ago, | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
Hillary Clinton, speaking in London, said airstrikes would not be a good | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
idea and added there was no reason to believe anyone, including the | :23:03. | :23:08. | |
United States, was considering them. We know airstrikes have gone on in | :23:08. | :23:14. | |
the last few months. No one seems prepared to own up and say, yes, it | :23:14. | :23:21. | |
is us, possibly out of fear of a backlash should there be civilian | :23:21. | :23:31. | |
:23:31. | :23:34. | ||
casualties. Much of the recent focus in the euros and has been on | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
Greece. But given the size of its economy and its problems, it is in | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
Italy that the future of the single currency might be decided. Both | :23:42. | :23:47. | |
Venice and the Italian economy are in the same boat. Can you save the | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
conjuror that putting a city like this in peril. Restoration is a | :23:52. | :23:58. | |
constant battle. Sharp cuts are taking their toll. | :23:58. | :24:03. | |
TRANSLATION: It is hard to tape -- say whether it is fair or not. The | :24:04. | :24:09. | |
central government is putting itself first and asking us for more | :24:09. | :24:15. | |
sacrifices. We have less money to maintain everything. Here is one of | :24:15. | :24:20. | |
ah thing that is not being cut, no huge scheme to build multiple | :24:20. | :24:25. | |
barriers. -- one thing. In a time of austerity, the Government has | :24:25. | :24:32. | |
released another 600 million euros for this project. It is part of a | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
multi- billion Euros investment in infrastructure. The Government is | :24:36. | :24:42. | |
hoping to boost economic growth in this way. It has created jobs. The | :24:42. | :24:48. | |
economic impact is pretty limited. We do need this kind of investment | :24:48. | :24:53. | |
but it is a long-term strategy. We will not see the effects next year | :24:53. | :24:58. | |
or in a couple of years. It would take a long time. In Italy it takes | :24:58. | :25:03. | |
a long time to get authorisation. In fairness, as across the country, | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
other battles are being fought. Closed professions are up in arms | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
about liberalisation. Pharmacists are among those rejecting the | :25:11. | :25:18. | |
bitter medicine of competition. This is a revolution because we | :25:18. | :25:28. | |
:25:28. | :25:31. | ||
lose business because of this In a city, in a country where | :25:31. | :25:36. | |
tradition is so important, making huge changes too deeply rooted, | :25:36. | :25:41. | |
restrictive employment practices, is a massive change. A big | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
adjustment for Italian society. The Government says it is do or die. In | :25:46. | :25:51. | |
other words, you cut in efficiency and more competition means more | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
opportunity. Not that -- not for these protesters outside Venice | :25:56. | :26:00. | |
Station that have been laid off by the train company. Mario Monti has | :26:00. | :26:06. | |
to play his part, says Salvatore. Italy is facing a real emergency. | :26:06. | :26:11. | |
We want our jobs back. challenge for Venice, Italy and | :26:11. | :26:16. | |
Mario Monti, how do you fix what is broker without destroying what you | :26:16. | :26:26. | |
:26:26. | :26:40. | ||
already have? -- broken. This is a helicopter in northern Brazil. The | :26:41. | :26:46. | |
pilot was OK but I do not think the helicopter will be going up again. | :26:46. | :26:53. |
