an overhaul of the welfare system The wife of one of China's most | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
prominent politicians has been given a suspended death sentence | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
after a court found her guilty of murdering a British businessman. Gu | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
Kailai admitted to poisoning Neil Heywood in a hotel room last | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
November. The death sentence is expected to be commuted to life | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
imprisonment - which could mean up to 14 years behind bars. Damian | :01:31. | :01:41. | |

Grammaticas sent this report. The murder of Neil Hayward plunged the | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
Communist Party in China into crisis. Now it is attempting to | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
contain the fall-out. Many believe the guilty verdict was directed | :01:52. | :01:58. | |
from the very top. Gu Kalai was scared before - spared the full | :01:58. | :02:04. | |
death penalty. She was spend a minimum of 14 years in jail. Judges | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
accepted her claim. She had had a breakdown and was not in full | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
control of her actions. She had confessed to killing the British | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
businessmen, fearing he was going to harm her son. She poisoned him | :02:18. | :02:24. | |
in this hotel last year after a huge property deal went sour. Her | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
husband, Bow, once tipped to become one of China's top leaders later | :02:29. | :02:35. | |
this year, has been suspended by the party. Did he know about the | :02:35. | :02:42. | |
crime or the cover up? Was he involved in any way? The death | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
triggered the biggest political scandal China has seen in decades | :02:46. | :02:52. | |
with the regulation -- allegations of abuse of power at the highest | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
level. It is hoped this verdict will put the lid on that, just as | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
it prepares for its leadership transition this autumn when a new | :03:00. | :03:07. | |
generation will take power in China. What's become one of the bloodiest | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
labour disputes in recent South African history is coming to a head | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
- with miners at the Marikana pit near Johannesburg being told that | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
they could be sacked if they don't return to work. The original | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
dispute was over pay and conditions. It then led to a number of violent | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
clashes, which left strikers and some police officers dead. Last | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
Thursday, 34 miners were shot dead by police, who say they were acting | :03:26. | :03:36. | |
in self-defence. Some workers have turned up for the shift so far. Our | :03:36. | :03:42. | |
correspondent says many are waiting to hear from union leaders. Lonmin | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
says 30% of workers have arrived for work. Those who have not | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
pitched up for work and now starting together elsewhere because | :03:50. | :03:57. | |
they want to be addressed by union leaders. We also understand the | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
Inter ministerial committee, they have now concluded their meeting. | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
We are expecting a press conference soon. This is gathering so much | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
international attention. We have heard from Jacob Zuma declaring an | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
official day of mourning. Authorities are very aware of the | :04:19. | :04:26. | |
attention. They are very much aware. That is why the inquiry commission | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
needs to be appointed as soon as possible. That will be little | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
consolation for the mine workers who have died. He wants answers as | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
soon as possible. What is happening at the moment where the process is | :04:40. | :04:48. | |
still ongoing? There is another scene in which 259 mine workers, | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
who were arrested on Thursday shortly after the shooting where | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
the mine workers died, they are appearing in court for various | :04:57. | :05:04. | |
charges, including armed robbery and public violence. They are | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
demanding to see - is never the wives have arrived in court and are | :05:07. | :05:16. | |
demanding to see their husbands. -- the wives have a right in court. | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
Lawyers for Pussy Riot will appeal to the conviction. On Friday, the | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
three women were sentenced to two years in jail after staging an | :05:26. | :05:33. | |
anti- Vladimir Putin post -- protest in a Moscow cathedral. | :05:33. | :05:39. | |
South Korea's ruling Conservative Party has picked its candidate for | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
the presidential election. She is the daughter of the country's | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
former dictator, who was assassinated in 1979. Should she | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
win the vote, she will become South Korea's first female leader. The | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
Duke of Edinburgh left hospital earlier after spending five nights | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
being treated for recurrence of a bladder infection. He has been | :06:00. | :06:08. | |
discharged from Aberdeen Royal Infirmary a few hours ago. Now all | :06:08. | :06:15. | |
the latest business news. I spoke earlier about the protesting and | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
the controversy regarding the Lonmin mine. It is a massive | :06:20. | :06:27. | |
platinum producer, it isn't it? different prices and two different | :06:27. | :06:34. | |
directions at the moment. Platinum prices are on the up. The prices | :06:34. | :06:41. | |
have hit a six-week high. They are touching almost $1,400. Lonmin | :06:41. | :06:47. | |
shares keep falling. Today they are around the 5% mark. They continue | :06:47. | :06:53. | |
trading at the moment in London. It is of the back of a 15% fall. Six | :06:53. | :06:59. | |
consecutive days, we have seen the shares sliding. One issue is the | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
share price. Another is the prolonged dispute. The chief | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
executive is seriously ill in hospital. It has the most pressured | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
balance sheet probably in the sector. It will probably need to | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
refinance its debt and may need to raise $1 billion on the market. It | :07:18. | :07:24. | |
is only worth 2 billion. I put all those issues to the experts earlier. | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
I'm think the City is beginning to factor in the fact it is very | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
likely Lonmin will have to come back to the equity markets. Even | :07:33. | :07:42. | |
before this, it was relatively tight on its banking covenants. | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
With little production or less production coming out of the mind | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
at the moment when they told us how much production may expect to have | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
lost. As the strike goes on, they lose more production and more | :07:57. | :08:03. | |
revenue. In the end, if things go on like fact, there comes a point | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
where there will breach the banking covenant and raise equity before | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
them. They do not want to get to that point. Unless they can | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
forecast how the strike will develop, that is probably the | :08:16. | :08:23. | |
likely direction. Let's talk about commodity prices - in particular | :08:23. | :08:30. | |
platinum prices. They have been low due to the slump of the car | :08:30. | :08:38. | |
industry. We have seen the price creeping up of the back of this. | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
Could it keep pushing prices up in one direction and that is higher? | :08:42. | :08:47. | |
It will certainly push it up higher. Whether that is a structural or | :08:47. | :08:57. | |
:08:57. | :08:57. | ||
secular trend Orsett tickled trend remains to be seen. -- a cyclical | :08:57. | :09:06. | |
trend. There is certainly not growing demand for this. Jury is | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
the other big market for platinum and that is not growing strongly | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
either. -- jewellery. It is all about supply and demand. The reason | :09:16. | :09:23. | |
it is up at the moment is because Lonmin in South Africa. That | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
produces all of the world's platinum - all of the Western | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
world's platinum. You are taking out supplier that and even if | :09:31. | :09:37. | |
demand stays the same, you would expect demand to go up a bit. | :09:37. | :09:44. | |
Production from the Lonmin minds will come back again. -- mines | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
macro. When they go back into production, unless there is a | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
fundamental shift in the world economy, you would expect to see | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
the price come back down again. this becoming a pattern or trend in | :09:57. | :10:03. | |
South Africa? We have seen very similar labour disputes at mines | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
macro in that country. Does this highlight broader problems with a | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
labour relations in South Africa? It is not only South Africa. It is | :10:13. | :10:19. | |
actually a lot of the world which have seen disputes arise recently. | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
There have been disputes in Peru, in West Africa, East Africa, | :10:24. | :10:30. | |
Central Africa as well. Not only South Africa. Of all these | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
countries, it has the largest and most developed mining industry. It | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
is the mining industry with the most complicated labour relations | :10:39. | :10:46. | |
as well. These are very interwoven with more general sub African | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
National political complications and tensions as well. -- South | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
African. Its most obvious and a significant and is the largest in | :10:55. | :11:01. | |
South Africa. Tensions are brought up in South Africa and encompass | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
Africa generally and a lot of the developing world. This could | :11:05. | :11:10. | |
certainly be make or break me -- week for Research In Motion, the | :11:10. | :11:17. | |
company that makes the BlackBerry. It has unveiled a new version. It | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
is hoped it will create enough sales to revive its fortunes. | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
Shares have lost three-quarters of their value. The blackberry has | :11:27. | :11:34. | |
fallen behind its rivals like the iPhone. -- BlackBerry. There are | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
pockets of people for whom the BlackBerry is very popular. At the | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
moment, for a lot of those people, the next purchase will probably not | :11:44. | :11:50. | |
be a BlackBerry. They need to have the device that is ready for its | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
six has -- existing users when they come to buy a new mobile phone | :11:53. | :11:59. | |

Samsung or what ever. Greece is expected to make a �3.8 billion | :12:04. | :12:10. | |
debt repayment to the Central Bank today. Last week it auctioned off | :12:10. | :12:16. | |
short-term bonds which it expected to use to make the payment. Greece | :12:16. | :12:22. | |
is under extreme pressures. The Prime Minister is expected to ask | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
for a two-year extension to the deadline that international lenders | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
have set when he meets the lenders of Germany and France later this | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
week. BAA is to say it will sell Stansted Airport after losing an | :12:35. | :12:41. | |
appeal against the competition ruling. In 2009, the company was | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
ordered to sell both Stansted and Gatwick airport, plus either | :12:46. | :12:51. | |

to top of the US box-office over the weekend. His film debuted at | :12:56. | :13:05. | |
number one, making $29 million on that weekend. The sequel elbowed | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
out the Bourne Legacy, which took second place on its second weekend | :13:10. | :13:15. | |
with $70 million. That is it. Sylvester Stallone back in the big | :13:15. | :13:21. | |

see it. -- no. Tony Scott, who is famous for Hollywood hits like Top | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
Gun or Days of Thunder has died in Los Angeles. His death is being | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
investigated as a suicide. The younger brother of Ridley Scott | :13:40. | :13:50. | |
:13:50. | :13:55. | ||
Tony Scott was born in North Shields but made his name in | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
Hollywood. Top Gun launched him into the top flight as well | :14:00. | :14:06. | |
respected action movie director in 1986. Working with Tom Cruise again | :14:06. | :14:11. | |

:14:27. | :14:28. | ||
often worked with. He produced Pelham 123 as well. It was | :14:28. | :14:33. | |
producing he had focused on in recent years, often working with | :14:33. | :14:39. | |
his elder brother, Ridley Scott. They worked on prime-time | :14:39. | :14:46. | |
television dramas as well as the big screen hits. Tony Scott parked | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
his car on a well-known Suspension Bridge in Los Angeles. Witnesses | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
said he jumped to his death into the harbour below. A coroner said | :14:54. | :15:00. | |
he left a note in his car and added there was nothing to suggest it was | :15:00. | :15:07. | |
not suicide. There were many tributes to his life and work in | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
the film industry. He was just an incredibly stylistic director. If | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
you look at his movies from his debut to the last movie, the | :15:17. | :15:21. | |
evolutionary style is phenomenal. For a director to keep pushing | :15:21. | :15:26. | |
himself visually and stylistically is amazing. On Twitter, some well- | :15:26. | :15:31. | |
known names left accolades. Stephen Fry was deeply saddened to hear | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
about the news. The fine film-maker and the most charming, modest man, | :15:36. | :15:46. | |

And, there were many more tributes to him. We have rules that are not | :15:50. | :15:54. | |

Still to come - with nine days to go until the start of the | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
Paralympics, Britain sets a tough target for its medal haul. And how | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
two storms triggered some unusual weather and a rare sight on Lake | :16:14. | :16:23. | |
Michigan. Britain's debate with Ecuador over what should happen | :16:23. | :16:30. | |
next to the founder of Wikileaks, Julien Assange, has widened. Now a | :16:30. | :16:32. | |
group of South American countries is backing Ecuador's stance. | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
Ecuador says that the UK threatened to remove its London embassy's | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
official status and send police to arrest Mr Assange, who is facing | :16:38. | :16:40. | |
extradition proceedings to face sexual assault allegations in | :16:40. | :16:48. | |
Sweden. Now the UNASUR regional group says it supports Ecuador in | :16:49. | :16:51. | |
the face of British colonialism. Our correspondent, Will Grant, has | :16:51. | :17:01. | |
:17:01. | :17:04. | ||
more. As Mr Assange's reporters were making their feeling known | :17:04. | :17:09. | |
outside the embassy, across the Andes there was a similar show of | :17:09. | :17:14. | |
unity. In Ecuador's second city, foreign ministers from across South | :17:14. | :17:20. | |
America attended a hastely assembled meeting to discuss what | :17:20. | :17:26. | |
Ecuador the British wrath against its integrity at the embassy in | :17:26. | :17:32. | |
London. It was thought the British could illegally enter the embassy | :17:32. | :17:39. | |
to arrest Mr Assange. Britain was then accused of colonialism. | :17:39. | :17:41. | |
TRANSLATION: The decision was unanimous. Other countries put | :17:42. | :17:47. | |
their differences aside. Coming quickly on the heels of what was | :17:47. | :17:54. | |
seen as a heavy handed approach when it came to Argentina's claim | :17:54. | :17:59. | |
on the Falklands, the episode has done further to -- done little to | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
further the British reputation. The last point on the document | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
presented by the member states calls on members to continue the | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
dialogue and negotiation to find a mutually acceptable solution. With | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
Mr Assange still holed up inside the embassy in London and the | :18:15. | :18:18. | |
British authorities saying they will arrest him the moment he steps | :18:18. | :18:28. | |
outside, finding any solution is going to be complicated. Thousands | :18:28. | :18:35. | |
of people have been ordered to leave their homes in northern | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
California. There are a number of buildings which have already been | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
destroyed by wildfires. High winds are helping to spread the flames. | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
It's still no clear what begun the fire. Officials say it is likely | :18:46. | :18:51. | |
that they were caused by lightning strikes. You can get in touch with | :18:51. | :19:01. | |

me and the team on Twitter. This is BBC World News. The headlines - a | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
Chinese court has handed down a suspended death sentence to Gu | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
Kailai, the wife of the disgraced politician, Bo Xilai, for the | :19:13. | :19:19. | |

which dozens were killed. People who receive welfare payments in | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
Australia won't be given cash in the future. Instead, they will have | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
to use a pre-paid card. The government says it wants to ensure | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
that the money is spent on the right things and protect the | :19:50. | :19:52. | |
vulnerable. But critics say that it stigmatises claimants. Duncan | :19:52. | :19:59. | |
Kennedy has travelled to Alice Springs to see new scheme in action. | :19:59. | :20:07. | |
Is this the future, the basic card? Barbara Shaw is one of those forced | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
to accept the card, with three young children, half her monthly | :20:11. | :20:16. | |
welfare income now has to be spent using the card, which Barbara says | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
is an insult. It's actually stigmatising the people and I guess | :20:20. | :20:25. | |
I feel that way as well. If you don't - if you have a basic card | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
you have treated differently. a second-class citizen? Yeah. In my | :20:30. | :20:36. | |
case definitely. Barbara must now use Government-approved shops and | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
can only buy essential supplies with the card. Everything from food | :20:40. | :20:45. | |
and soap to electricity and rent. No alcohol or gambling is allowed. | :20:45. | :20:49. | |
She says people stare and whisper when she uses it, knowing she's on | :20:49. | :20:56. | |
welfare. What do you think about her having to use it here? I feel | :20:57. | :20:59. | |
very uncomfortable. Despite the objections, especially in the | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
poorer and more rural areas, the Australian Government is now | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
rolling out this programme across much of the country. It believes | :21:06. | :21:11. | |
it's leading the world in terms of allocating welfare payments to the | :21:11. | :21:17. | |
more vulnerable in society. Even if there is some shame attached to it. | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
So controversial is the new card, there have been street protests. | :21:21. | :21:26. | |
Critics say the cards amount to state control over family budgets. | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
But they have their supporters like Karen Tremain, a single mother of | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
two, who uses one voluntarily, because she says it helps her | :21:35. | :21:39. | |
manage her limited income. wouldn't be in the situation that | :21:39. | :21:44. | |
I'm in now and I would have lost my house and my kids and I would | :21:44. | :21:49. | |
probably be on the streets. Yeah, it's the best thing I've ever done. | :21:49. | :21:54. | |
The Government says it has a duty to put people on cards, especially | :21:54. | :21:59. | |
when children's welfare is at risk. I've had a lot of clients where | :21:59. | :22:04. | |
it's stopped an eviction. They can actually decide where their | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
payments are to go into the priority needs and they know that | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
they are going to go to be paid. Families still get some cash, but | :22:12. | :22:17. | |
most income comes through the cards. Supporters say it's the new | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
responsible way of managing state benefits, but opponents like | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
Barbara believe it's a patronising intrusion into private family | :22:23. | :22:33. | |
business. No sooner have we said farewell to the Olympians of 2012, | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
than the Paralympians prepare to take to the pool, track and field. | :22:36. | :22:40. | |
Members of the British team are due to arrive at their training camp in | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
Bath in south-west England, and the Games themselves will begin in nine | :22:43. | :22:48. | |
days. They have a tough task ahead, with a target to win at least 103 | :22:48. | :22:53. | |
medals. Earlier, I spoke to former Paralympian swimmer, Marc Woods, | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
from our studio in Salford in the north of England and asked him if | :22:56. | :23:03. | |
the medal target brought too much pressure. There's always some | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
pressure, but the individuals won't feel that, because they'll be | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
focused on what they've got to deliver and 103 is only one more | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
than what we won in Beijing, so you would hope we have stepped forward. | :23:14. | :23:20. | |
I think we can do 103. Where's our strongest event? Where are we | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
likely to see most the medals - track, field, pool? Well, I'm | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
slightly biased, because I'm a swimmer, so I will be say swimming. | :23:27. | :23:34. | |
We tend to pick up a fair number of medals there. Across the sports, as | :23:34. | :23:39. | |
you say, track and field and the equestrian team is very strong. We | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
are looking for our first gold in the sailing. Across the board we | :23:43. | :23:49. | |
have some great athletes. mentioned you are a swimmer. You | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
are rather modest. You are a four- time gold medalist. It's great | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
having you talking about the atmosphere, but I manage this time | :23:57. | :24:02. | |
it will be a little more lively, because of the success of London | :24:02. | :24:07. | |
2012? Absolutely. Everybody's really enjoyed the Olympics and now | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
the Paralympics brings something different, but quality of sport as | :24:10. | :24:15. | |
well. We have got the huge heritage about paralympic sport. We kind of | :24:15. | :24:20. | |
invented it and we have been growing it in terms of the media | :24:20. | :24:22. | |
coverage and the general public awareness and now it looks like it | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
will sell out, so it's a great opportunity for athletes from | :24:26. | :24:31. | |
around the world to really enjoy top-quality sport in some great | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
facilities, with people who really want to be there. Do you think this | :24:34. | :24:40. | |
will set the bar even higher for the rest of the world for Rio 2016? | :24:40. | :24:45. | |
Absolutely. I think it will be very tough to follow. I'm sure Rio will | :24:45. | :24:50. | |
do their best to do that. They have a very strong team generally and | :24:50. | :24:56. | |
have been growing their sports in Brazil. The atmosphere in the | :24:56. | :25:06. | |
:25:06. | :25:07. | ||
venues around London, it will be electric. Burma's Information | :25:07. | :25:13. | |
Ministry, says it's ending all cenorship of the country's media. | :25:13. | :25:17. | |
The Press Scrutiny and Registration Department said as of Monday, | :25:17. | :25:23. | |
reporters would no longer have to submit their work to state censors | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
before publication. During nearly five decades of military rule in | :25:27. | :25:30. | |
Burma, censorship applied to everything from newspapers to song | :25:30. | :25:38. | |
lyrics. To Libya and 3 supporters of Muammar Gaddafi have been | :25:38. | :25:41. | |
detained in connection with two bomb attacks in Tripoli on Sunday. | :25:41. | :25:48. | |
It was a year that the regime was facing its final days of control. | :25:48. | :25:53. | |
Our reporter joins us from friply. Rana, a year on, but signs of | :25:53. | :26:03. | |
support for the Gaddafi rulers? Certainly, given the car bombings | :26:03. | :26:10. | |
that we saw yesterday, they claimed the lives of two people. We have | :26:10. | :26:14. | |
heard from officials blaming it on Gaddafi supporters, although this | :26:14. | :26:19. | |
hasn't been independently verified. In reality, no-one has - no group | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
has really claimed any of these incidents, whether in Benghazi or | :26:23. | :26:30. | |
Tripoli. Of course, there are still some people in Libya that do | :26:30. | :26:35. | |
support Muammar Gaddafi, even though he has been killed since the | :26:35. | :26:38. | |
uprising and there's a network of support on some level, but I don't | :26:38. | :26:45. | |
think a lot of people believe that it's deeply rooted to the extent | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
where they can change things around. That's given what happened last | :26:49. | :26:57. |
