:01:02. > :01:07.Hello. Thank you for joining us. In Indonesia, an air force plane has
:01:07. > :01:10.crashed into a housing complex in the east of the capital. The houses
:01:10. > :01:14.are burning there. An air force spokesperson says that six of the
:01:14. > :01:18.seven crew members on board have been killed. An official at the
:01:18. > :01:21.East Jakarta Fire Brigade, said that the Fokker F-27 turbo prop
:01:21. > :01:25.aircraft crashed near a street within Halim Perdanaskusuma Air
:01:25. > :01:29.Base. It is a military housing complex.
:01:29. > :01:33.The aircraft was reported to have been conducting a training flight,
:01:33. > :01:43.firefighters are now on sight. Joining me on the line from Jakarta
:01:43. > :01:53.is the BBC's Pinter Kerana. What is the latest that you know about the
:01:53. > :01:53.
:01:53. > :02:03.crash? Pinter, if you can hear us, do you know the latest on the
:02:03. > :02:03.
:02:03. > :02:09.crash? Sorry, I could not hear you clearly but I will tell you the
:02:09. > :02:16.latest information that we have received here.
:02:16. > :02:26.The military official has confirmed to us that seven people were aboard
:02:26. > :02:27.
:02:27. > :02:35.the ill-feated Fokker F-27. -- ill -fated Fokker F-27. It
:02:35. > :02:39.crashed here earlier today. Sorry, that was Pinter joining us
:02:39. > :02:44.live from Jakarta in clearly a difficult communication line there.
:02:44. > :02:51.So we will try to return to Jakarta when we get the opportunity, but
:02:51. > :02:59.clearly a scene of destruction and as was being said, that for sure
:02:59. > :03:04.six of the seven people died n that were in the plane. Now, the most
:03:04. > :03:09.wanted man, the United States posted a $1 million bounty on its
:03:09. > :03:12.head, now a court is about to deliver its verdict on the head of
:03:13. > :03:19.Umar Patek. He is accused much assembling the
:03:19. > :03:24.bombs used on the attack on the beach resort in Bali and on attacks
:03:24. > :03:30.on churches two years earlier. The dead list to date was almost00
:03:30. > :03:33.people, most of them foreigners. Our spokesperson spoke about when
:03:33. > :03:37.we may expect a verdict. We have been following the verdict,
:03:37. > :03:41.the proceedings all day from outside of the court house. Still
:03:41. > :03:44.it does not seem we are closer to an announcement. That is not
:03:44. > :03:49.because of complications or anything, but what has happened is
:03:49. > :03:56.that the judges have chosen to read the entire document, it appears,
:03:56. > :04:00.all 275 pages of it. That is the witnesses testimonyis and the
:04:00. > :04:03.evidence presented to them during the four-month trial. So it is
:04:03. > :04:08.taking longer than expected. There was a sense that we would have had
:04:08. > :04:12.a verdict a little earlier in the day, but it now looks like we may
:04:12. > :04:17.get a verdict towards the end of the day. That is where we are.
:04:17. > :04:23.It is worth saying that the accusations on him centre around
:04:23. > :04:28.assembling the bombs, don't they? Absolutely. That is certainly what
:04:28. > :04:33.he has consistently said throughout his defence. Now, the prosecution
:04:33. > :04:38.has alleged that Umar Patek was one of the chief masterminders of the
:04:38. > :04:43.Bali attacks. One of the chief bomb makers as well, in fact, but he and
:04:43. > :04:49.his defence team said that all he was involved in was building the
:04:49. > :04:53.bombs. He was not involved in the planning of the attacks nor the
:04:53. > :04:58.main bomb-maker, he is saying. He has shown throughout the trial a
:04:58. > :05:03.degree of remorse. Apologising many times and in one item, saying he
:05:03. > :05:06.was against the Bali bombings from the start. Legally, the prosecution
:05:06. > :05:11.team could have asked for the maximum punishment for the charges
:05:11. > :05:15.that he faces which is death by firing squad but instead chose to
:05:15. > :05:19.ask for a life in prison sentence. A sentence for life. The reason
:05:19. > :05:23.they are saying because he has shown remorse throughout the
:05:23. > :05:27.proceedings of the trial. Australian authorities have
:05:27. > :05:32.launched a massive sea rescue operation for up to 200 asylum
:05:33. > :05:38.sleekers off the coast of Christmas island. A vessel issued a distress
:05:38. > :05:41.call saying it had capsized 120 nautical miles north of the island.
:05:41. > :05:46.A plane has spotted people in the water.
:05:46. > :05:50.Joining me now is the BBC's Duncan Kennedy, live from Sydney. Duncan,
:05:50. > :05:54.what more do we know about the capsizing and about the rescue
:05:54. > :05:58.mission? Well, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation are
:05:58. > :06:02.reporting that there may be two vessels involved. One with people
:06:02. > :06:08.from the Middle East, one with people from Sri Lanka. That's not
:06:08. > :06:11.been confirmed. What we know is that one cargo ship is at the scene.
:06:11. > :06:16.A plane is also there. It is reporting people standing on the
:06:16. > :06:21.hull of one of the upturned vessels. The plane reports that 40 people
:06:21. > :06:26.may be standing on the hull. It is also reported that as many as 35-
:06:26. > :06:31.plus people are in the water. Some of whom are wearing lifejackets.
:06:31. > :06:35.Although the Australian authorities say if 200 people are involved in
:06:35. > :06:41.these, these vessels that bring in the asylum sleekers are unlikely to
:06:41. > :06:45.have 200 lifejackets. Two Anywayy and three Mer chant ships from the
:06:45. > :06:50.Australian side are steaming to the area, but there is not much light
:06:50. > :06:54.left. Only an hour or two before the darkness descends. So this is
:06:54. > :07:04.very much an emergency situation to get to the people to do what they
:07:04. > :07:04.
:07:04. > :07:09.can in the conditions available. Now with the business news. There
:07:09. > :07:14.was a Spanish debt auction, but a lot of interest in it. By wi,
:07:14. > :07:19.baring in mind the bad news from Spain it may surprise people?
:07:19. > :07:24.why are investors so keen to buy up the debt. That is how a country
:07:24. > :07:28.raises money. They sell the debt. Giving the investors an IOU and
:07:28. > :07:33.there is a level of interest rate to take on board the debt. The
:07:33. > :07:37.interest rate was higher, but the reason that the demand was high,
:07:37. > :07:42.basically, investors believe that Spain will get a bail out in some
:07:42. > :07:51.for or another. It will get a bail out. That means buying Spanish
:07:51. > :07:57.government debt is not as risky as we thought. They raised over 2.2
:07:57. > :08:03.billion Euros, they paid just under 6.1%. That is a bit of an ouch.
:08:03. > :08:07.That is a five-year debt. So levels that look in the long-term
:08:07. > :08:12.unsustainable indeed, but all of this is coming off the back of the
:08:12. > :08:16.fact that today we are getting the first report. We have been waiting
:08:16. > :08:21.for the independent auditor report on the banking system. They have
:08:21. > :08:25.put the whole Spanish banking system under a stress test to look
:08:25. > :08:30.at all of the individual banks to tell us who big the whole is that
:08:30. > :08:36.must be filled. Some are saying it could be as much
:08:36. > :08:41.as 100 billion Euros. I was talking to an expert. He explained why this
:08:41. > :08:45.is so important this report. Well, I think that the reason they
:08:45. > :08:50.are important, the reason why a lot of investors are looking at them is
:08:50. > :08:54.that there is hope it will draw line in the sand in turn of
:08:54. > :08:57.figuring out how much of a black hole there is in the Spanish
:08:57. > :09:02.banking system and what it means for the public finances for the
:09:02. > :09:07.country as a whole. One of the reasons why since the announcement
:09:07. > :09:11.for the 100 billion potential rescue package, there was not a
:09:11. > :09:16.whole lot of positive sentiment coming from that is that there is a
:09:16. > :09:20.question of senior ority. So what does it mean for 100 billion of
:09:20. > :09:25.European money coming in? Does it mean that other holders are pushed
:09:25. > :09:35.out if they run into difficulties? Until the questions are clarified
:09:35. > :09:41.that will matter more than the numbers, like 100 billion, as has
:09:41. > :09:47.been suggested is on the table. Now, Cyprus could be the next EU
:09:47. > :09:52.country to get an emergency bail out from Brussels. They are looking
:09:52. > :09:59.to reimbers the national bank for the loss it is made on bad
:09:59. > :10:04.investments, mainly in Greece. That's the problem.
:10:04. > :10:08.A 40%-drop in orders. The customers are not paying bills on time, this
:10:08. > :10:11.is a typical story for a family business. This one makes pipes.
:10:11. > :10:16.It is another of Europe's failing economies.
:10:16. > :10:21.It is a fine line to walk. We are thinking that if things go well we
:10:21. > :10:26.may have to consider laying off some people so that we keep the
:10:26. > :10:32.operations running for the rest of the 165 personnel.
:10:32. > :10:35.Greece may be 800 kilometres to the west, but for the Greek Cypriots,
:10:35. > :10:39.contemplating their future, Greece and its bail out may as Welling
:10:39. > :10:43.next door. We know we are very lucky.
:10:43. > :10:48.But we are affiliated with the banks and everything, so it is
:10:48. > :10:56.trouble. It is hard. It is not good. Do you think that Cyprus will be
:10:56. > :11:00.next? I think it is. Greece's doubtful could prove
:11:00. > :11:04.Cyprus's. Cyprus has carried on buying Greek government bonds at
:11:04. > :11:07.more tempting rates of interest, but those in charge argue it is not
:11:07. > :11:11.their fault that they need foreign help now.
:11:11. > :11:15.I don't think it is a national embarrassment, the situation has
:11:15. > :11:21.come about as a result of the Greek situation. It is something that has
:11:21. > :11:26.happened for us, many miles away from our country, it is an external
:11:26. > :11:30.factor. The consensus is that an emergency
:11:30. > :11:33.foreign loan in the order of several billion Euros is vital to
:11:34. > :11:39.save the tiny EU country from mass unemployment.
:11:39. > :11:43.Here on the Greek side of what is Europe's last divided capital
:11:43. > :11:48.cities, the reminders of what is causing the problems is everywhere.
:11:48. > :11:54.Amongst the banks, there is a straightforward admission of going
:11:54. > :11:57.cap in hand to the government. We have taken the benefits of the
:11:57. > :12:03.Euro seriously. The responsibilities have been taken
:12:04. > :12:08.less seriously. Both as bank officials and as government
:12:08. > :12:16.officials. We are now paying a big price.
:12:16. > :12:19.Most visitors here are oblivious to Cyprus's imminent bankruptcy. Even
:12:19. > :12:26.the best-off, will be inadequate to pull the host country back from the
:12:26. > :12:31.economic brink. Now some of the other business

:17:51. > :17:55.on the key question of this trial on whether he is deemed to be sane
:17:55. > :18:00.or insane. When they made their indictment 10 weeks ago, when the
:18:00. > :18:05.trial began, the prosecution said they believe that Anders Breivik
:18:05. > :18:11.was insane. This makes an enormous difference. If he is found to be
:18:11. > :18:16.insane he would not go to prison. He would be treated in a secure
:18:16. > :18:19.psychiatric ward. But during this trial, we have heard from a large
:18:19. > :18:24.number of psychologists and psychiatrists and the vast majority
:18:24. > :18:29.of them have said that having observed him they believe he is
:18:29. > :18:34.saying and therefore should be sentenced to many, many years in
:18:35. > :18:39.prison. The question is whether the prosecution will take that on board
:18:39. > :18:42.and the change their indictment and also declare that they believe
:18:42. > :18:46.Anders Breivik is insane. That would put a lot of pressure on the
:18:47. > :18:54.judges who have to make the final decision as to whether he should go
:18:54. > :18:58.to a psychiatric ward or prison. word we just heard was traumatic.
:18:58. > :19:05.The impression we get is this is a country which has been traumatised
:19:05. > :19:11.by this crime? Completely. It has been an unprecedented crime in its
:19:11. > :19:17.scale, the way it was carried out, the fact that so many of the
:19:17. > :19:22.victims where extremely young. The shooting on the island of Utoeya
:19:22. > :19:26.where 69 people were killed, these were all young people attending a
:19:26. > :19:32.summer camp. The youngest person was just 14 years old. The vast
:19:32. > :19:36.majority of them were shot through the head.
:19:37. > :19:40.An arrest warrant has been issued for the man who was tipped to
:19:40. > :19:46.become Pakistan's next Prime Minister. Makhdoom Shahabuddin is a
:19:46. > :19:50.senior figure in the Pakistan People's Party. The arrest warrant
:19:50. > :19:54.is linked to a case into the illegal importation of the drug
:19:54. > :19:58.ephedrine when he was Health Minister. The BBC's Aleem Maqbool
:19:58. > :20:06.is in Islamabad and gave us the background to the case. This is
:20:06. > :20:10.linked to a case when Makhdoom Shahabuddin was the Health Minister
:20:10. > :20:14.where by this drug ephedrine, which can be imported to certain levels,
:20:14. > :20:19.the quota was exceeded and large amounts of this drug where imported
:20:19. > :20:24.into Pakistan. It can be used legally to produced drugs for
:20:24. > :20:27.asthma and so on but can also be used in the projection --
:20:27. > :20:32.production of narcotics. This case has been hanging over Makhdoom
:20:32. > :20:37.Shahabuddin for some time. But this has just happened on the very day
:20:37. > :20:40.or the 24 hours when it has been announced that he is the leading
:20:40. > :20:47.candidate to take over as the new Prime Minister. There are some who
:20:47. > :20:50.are saying well, all of these ministers deserve it for
:20:50. > :20:54.embezzlement and if he has been involved in a case like this then
:20:54. > :20:58.he deserves being arrested. But there are others who see this as a
:20:58. > :21:02.vendetta by the courts and the army potentially in the background,
:21:02. > :21:09.against the ruling People's Party. I believe there is another
:21:09. > :21:13.candidate who was also involved? Well, the next candidate, the
:21:14. > :21:21.reserve candidate has also got an investigation hanging over his head.
:21:21. > :21:25.This is over a separate case why he was the power Minister and
:21:25. > :21:28.allegations that he made an awful lot of money. There are a lot of
:21:28. > :21:31.people who are seeing this as involvement and political
:21:31. > :21:36.motivation by the courts and the army in the background. They have
:21:36. > :21:40.just moved the former Prime Minister, Yousaf Raza Gilani, on a
:21:40. > :21:44.charge which again the People's Party says was politically
:21:44. > :21:49.motivated. It is feeling that any progress that was being made in
