:01:03. > :01:05.Police in India have carried out raids in ten cities, as part of an

:01:05. > :01:08.investigation into alleged corruption in the allocation of

:01:08. > :01:11.coal mining concessions. The Central Bureau of Investigation

:01:11. > :01:21.said it had filed cases against five mining companies and that a

:01:21. > :01:26.

:01:26. > :01:29.number of employees had been charged. This Is based on a report

:01:29. > :01:35.from the Government's auditor which said the mining concessions which

:01:35. > :01:39.were handed out over a period between 2004 and 2009 were handed

:01:39. > :01:43.out in a manner that wasn't transparent. The allocations were

:01:43. > :01:48.made to companies, some of whom may not have had the ability to mine

:01:48. > :01:52.coal. More importantly, the rates at which they were given out were

:01:52. > :01:57.well below market rates and the allegation is the Government could

:01:57. > :02:02.have lost $33 billion. The raids that began today which were carried

:02:02. > :02:06.out by the central bureau of investigation took place in 30

:02:06. > :02:12.locations across ten cities including Delhi, Calcutta and

:02:12. > :02:16.Mumbai. The five companies that are are targeted are small companies

:02:16. > :02:20.and the suggestion is these are companies may may have only been

:02:20. > :02:24.set up before the mining rights were handed out and some may have

:02:24. > :02:29.sold their rights for massive profits. The Opposition are trying

:02:29. > :02:34.to pin the responsibility for this on the Prime Minister himself?

:02:34. > :02:39.Yes, that's right. Manmohan Singh the Prime Minister was in charge of

:02:39. > :02:42.the coal ministry at the time the sales were made and the main

:02:42. > :02:46.opposition party believes since he was the man in charge, he needs to

:02:46. > :02:51.take the blame, he needs to step down. The Prime Minister, no

:02:51. > :03:01.Government official, has been named in this report. He himself has

:03:01. > :03:04.denied any wrongdoing and rejected the the calls for his resignation.

:03:04. > :03:08.For the past few weeks, every session of the national Parliament

:03:08. > :03:12.has been disrupted by the Opposition which says that unless

:03:12. > :03:15.the Prime Minister steps down and an independent investigation

:03:15. > :03:21.carried out, they will not let Parliament function.

:03:21. > :03:24.How does this this feed into the problem of perception of corruption

:03:24. > :03:30.which gripped India for a long time now?

:03:30. > :03:34.Well, this is a very familiar tale now. A massive corruption scandal

:03:34. > :03:38.hits the Government which is forced on the defensive. We have had so

:03:38. > :03:42.many of them now. The telecoms scandal, the scandal over

:03:42. > :03:46.concession and rights during the Commonwealth Games and now this one.

:03:46. > :03:51.Allegations that favours were handed out. A lot of money lost by

:03:51. > :03:56.the Government. This one in terms of its scale is quite big and given

:03:56. > :03:59.its timing, the Opposition sense thats Government is on -- senses

:03:59. > :04:02.that the Government is on the back foot and maybe it can push for an

:04:02. > :04:07.early election. David Cameron has been shaking up

:04:07. > :04:09.his Government. The first Cabinet reshuffle since he became Prime

:04:09. > :04:17.Minister. All morning ministers have been coming and going from

:04:17. > :04:22.Number Ten, Downing Street. Joining me from our Central London studios

:04:22. > :04:29.is Naomi Grimly. There has been a controversial shake-up of the NHS

:04:29. > :04:34.by Andrew Lansley and he is out and Jeremy Hunt is in? I should start

:04:34. > :04:39.by saying this isn't a really major reshuffle. The major offices of

:04:39. > :04:43.State like the Foreign Secretary, the Home Secretary, and the

:04:43. > :04:48.Chancellor of the Exchequer, they remain the same, but he has moved

:04:48. > :04:56.his Health Secretary after a really stormy passage of a Health Bill

:04:56. > :05:00.through Parliament which did the Conservatives a lot of damage. He

:05:00. > :05:05.put in his place up-to-date. That isn't without controversy. Up-to-

:05:05. > :05:09.date was a minister who got got mired in the phone hacking scandal.

:05:09. > :05:14.He was accused of being too close to Rupert Murdoch. There will be

:05:14. > :05:17.eyebrows raised at that appointment. We don't know what happened at

:05:17. > :05:21.transport. Justine Greening the minister, that is interesting

:05:21. > :05:27.because it could change policy on whether Heathrow gets a third

:05:27. > :05:30.runway? That's right. There has has been a lot in the press about

:05:30. > :05:33.whether David Cameron may do alU- turn about airport expansion,

:05:33. > :05:38.particularly Heathrow Airport. There has been a battle running for

:05:38. > :05:44.years about whether there should be an extra runway added there and his

:05:44. > :05:47.Transport Secretary, who we think is leaving that post, had a

:05:47. > :05:51.constituency in South West London underneath the flightpath so it

:05:51. > :05:56.looks like he moved her and many people are speculating as to

:05:56. > :06:00.whether that means that David Cameron will now let Heathrow be

:06:00. > :06:04.expanded. I should point out that David Cameron doesn't really like

:06:04. > :06:09.doing reshuffles. This is the first rearrangement of ministers since he

:06:09. > :06:13.came to power. So he is doing it almost reluctantly but the reason

:06:13. > :06:19.is because he feels the Government needs to be rejuvenated. The

:06:19. > :06:22.opinion polls are not good reading for him and he is hoping he can

:06:22. > :06:26.inject fresh blood into the Government and get Government back

:06:26. > :06:30.on course. Thank you very much indeed.

:06:31. > :06:36.George Osborne Was booed at the Paralympics last night giving medal

:06:36. > :06:42.away. So the Government aware of needing something of a fresh start.

:06:42. > :06:46.We will, of course, keep you across those developments.

:06:46. > :06:51.Water bombing planes from France and Spain have been sent to

:06:51. > :06:54.Portugal to help fight forest fires. The request was made after 3,000

:06:54. > :06:59.firefighters failed to contain blazes. Officials told the BBC that

:06:59. > :07:07.the situation has eased. Up to 3,000 firefighters have been

:07:07. > :07:10.engaged in battling the latest wildfires in Portugal. 20 separate

:07:10. > :07:13.fires broke out on Sunday fuelled by strong winds and high

:07:13. > :07:17.temperatures and weather conditions are expected to remain the same

:07:17. > :07:24.same for the next few days. It is worrying for local residents whose

:07:24. > :07:28.homes are in the path of the flames. There are a lot of people in this

:07:28. > :07:34.area with many houses near here. There are a lot of small villages

:07:34. > :07:39.throughout this region. On Monday this helicopter crashed

:07:39. > :07:44.as it was trying to douse the flames. Now Spain offered two

:07:44. > :07:50.firefighting aircraft and two more are being deployed from France

:07:50. > :07:52.through the European Union. TRANSLATION: It was time to

:07:52. > :07:55.implement the European Union's civil protection mechanism. We did

:07:55. > :08:01.it as a prevention due to the to the present situation and taking

:08:01. > :08:05.into account the weather forecast for the coming days.

:08:05. > :08:08.Firefighters force their way into a burning house. It is more than a

:08:08. > :08:15.threat to life and property. Elsewhere, a factory has been

:08:15. > :08:19.destroyed. On Monday a man in his 50s was found burnt to death. He

:08:19. > :08:25.was trying to save his chicken farm. The wildfires come after many

:08:25. > :08:29.others this summer. Over 70,000 hectares have been destroyed in

:08:29. > :08:36.fires this year and police say they have detained around 40 suspected

:08:36. > :08:41.arsonists. There has been a lot of disruption

:08:41. > :08:48.for passengers going through Lufthansa's airports in Germany?

:08:48. > :08:52.Yes, they have they have they have striked again. The first strike was

:08:52. > :08:58.in Germany. About 200 flights on Friday were cancelled. We are

:08:58. > :09:03.expecting huge disruptions today, but they have upped the ante the

:09:03. > :09:11.union and the cabin crew because they have targeted Frankfurt

:09:11. > :09:14.airport and in 20 minutes time, they are targeting Munich which is

:09:14. > :09:18.is Lufthansa's second biggest airport.

:09:18. > :09:25.So thousands affected here? Absolutely. This stems from a long

:09:25. > :09:30.discussion, I I believe the talks have been going on for 13 months.

:09:30. > :09:34.The cabin crew who haven't received a pay rise are asking for a 5%

:09:34. > :09:40.increase backdated to January this year. The airline is going, "No, we

:09:40. > :09:45.put an offer on the table of 3.5 percent." Let's listen to the

:09:45. > :09:48.reaction. TRANSLATION: I saw it on my phone,

:09:48. > :09:50.my flight has been cancelled. I have to get to the United States,

:09:50. > :09:53.we have a big conference there. I don't know what will happen.

:09:53. > :09:55.I think Lufthansa won't give in because they would have done it

:09:55. > :09:59.already after the strike last week. I have the impression both parties

:09:59. > :10:05.want to take it out on the passengers to show their power and

:10:05. > :10:10.it is a shame because it is not our fault if an employer and employees

:10:10. > :10:15.can't a I gree. -- agree.

:10:15. > :10:18.Let's go to Berlin and speak to Stephen Evans. Stephen, good to see

:10:18. > :10:24.you again, I want to talk about the passengers and the feeling on the

:10:24. > :10:31.ground. They seemed to have upped the ante, the union and the cabin

:10:31. > :10:36.crew. How disruptive are we expecting these to be? Pretty

:10:36. > :10:40.disruptive. We had a strike on Friday, single airport, 28,000

:10:40. > :10:44.passengers affected. We have three airports today so it will be more.

:10:44. > :10:49.Both sides are serious about this. As you say, it is a pay dispute,

:10:49. > :10:54.but actually the background is about restructuring an airline.

:10:54. > :10:59.Lufthansa is trying to compete with Emirates on the long haul routes to

:10:59. > :11:04.Asia and with budget airlines in Europe, in a market which is

:11:04. > :11:11.growing, not at all, at best, shrinking it other parts of Europe,

:11:11. > :11:16.it wants a new budget airline for example. The cabin staff feel that

:11:16. > :11:24.they will be casual employees in the new budget airline therefore,

:11:24. > :11:25.their pay and conditions will be squeezed. So it might ostensibly

:11:25. > :11:30.about pay, but it is about more than that.

:11:30. > :11:36.You mentioned the tough competition facing Lufthansa and the national

:11:36. > :11:40.carriers. But what are you hearing on on the ground. Lufthansa is an

:11:40. > :11:44.airline that has $1 billion in the bank. That's a lot of money and the

:11:44. > :11:50.union which have told me on Friday they have a pretty big car chest.

:11:50. > :11:54.If nobody budges, this could go on for sometime? Yes. Both sides are

:11:54. > :12:00.saying they are determined, but that's the way industrial disputes

:12:00. > :12:04.are. Both sides, I think, feel this isn't just another industrial

:12:04. > :12:10.dispute which they can afford to lose. There are bigger things at

:12:11. > :12:17.stake. The next move would probably be to escalate the thing from

:12:17. > :12:20.strikes taking place in parts of a day to all day strikes. The airline

:12:20. > :12:27.on the other hand lost substantial sums of money at the beginning of

:12:27. > :12:32.the year. It badly needs to restructure it feels so it too has

:12:32. > :12:35.a big stake in winning the thing. There is no sign to sum-up of this

:12:35. > :12:40.dispute, of this strike today being the end of the process.

:12:40. > :12:43.Well, all eyes and ears on that. Stephen, thank you very much indeed.

:12:43. > :12:48.Stephen Evans joining us live from Berlin.

:12:48. > :12:52.Samsung will inspect its Chinese suppliers. 250 firms to see whether

:12:52. > :12:56.they comply with its labour policies. It comes after a US

:12:56. > :13:00.campaign group accused money manufacturer of using child labour.

:13:00. > :13:04.The South Korean company said an internal audit didn't find anyone

:13:04. > :13:14.younger than 16 working at the company, but there were problems

:13:14. > :13:17.

:13:17. > :13:23.with working conditions. They have expressed concern that a

:13:23. > :13:26.Samsung supplier, of phones and DVD players, HEQ Electronics employed

:13:27. > :13:34.seven children younger than 16 in the factory. Samsung officials said

:13:34. > :13:38.they did their investigation and and they found no under-age workers,

:13:38. > :13:43.but identified several instances of poor management and improper safety

:13:43. > :13:47.measures. The Korean company warned HEG to improve its working

:13:47. > :13:55.conditions or else its contract would be terminated.

:13:55. > :13:59.There is another story with Samsung because two of its new televisions

:13:59. > :14:06.have gone missing en route to Berlin to a big technology trade

:14:06. > :14:10.fair. Lost in transit? Yes. Or lost in translation. The German police

:14:10. > :14:16.and South Korean police are investigating. They think it could

:14:16. > :14:20.be industrial espionage because only a handful of companies that

:14:20. > :14:26.make televisions have this technology.

:14:26. > :14:30.Thank you, Aaron. Still to come.

:14:30. > :14:37.What is it like for a blind person to navigate their way across the

:14:37. > :14:42.A 15-year-old Dutch boy has been found guilty of murdering a 15-

:14:42. > :14:45.year-old girl after a dispute on Facebook. In court, Jinhau K was

:14:45. > :14:50.said to have a serious behavioural disorder with psychopathic traits.

:14:50. > :14:53.He received the maximum sentence for a juvenile of one year. The

:14:53. > :15:01.victim's father said the sentence was too low and called the Dutch

:15:01. > :15:07.justice system "powerless". Joyce Hau, seen here on the left,

:15:07. > :15:13.was just 15 when she was repeatedly stabbed on her own doorstep. Her

:15:13. > :15:17.killer was a boy the same age who had never even met her. The reason?

:15:17. > :15:22.Joyce and her friend, a 16-year-old known only as Polly W, have fallen

:15:23. > :15:26.out over alleged comments the victim had made on Facebook.

:15:26. > :15:30.Prosecutors said the killer, a Jinhau K, had been instructed by

:15:30. > :15:37.others to murder a teenager, a crime for which she received the

:15:37. > :15:41.maximum sentence for a juvenile. has killed a 15-year-old girl and

:15:41. > :15:46.he has attempted manslaughter on her father, and these are very

:15:46. > :15:51.serious facts. That is why the court is saying the maximum

:15:51. > :15:56.sentence is justified in this case. But in Dutch law, under sixteens

:15:56. > :16:00.cannot serve longer than one year in jail. The killer will then spend

:16:00. > :16:04.a further three years in psychiatric care. The court said he

:16:05. > :16:09.had his serious behavioural disorder with psychopathic traits.

:16:09. > :16:13.But the victim's dad said the sentence was too lenient.

:16:14. > :16:18.TRANSLATION: And I am not happy with the one-year sentence for the

:16:18. > :16:22.crime that took my daughter's live, but that is written in the law, so

:16:22. > :16:26.that is powerless, the justice is powerless. The crime has shocked

:16:26. > :16:31.the Netherlands, where it has sparked fierce debate over the role

:16:31. > :16:35.of social media in violent crime. But exactly why the attack took

:16:35. > :16:40.place remains unanswered. The victim's friend Polly and her 17-

:16:40. > :16:44.year-old boyfriend are accused of ordering and planning the murder.

:16:44. > :16:46.They will appear in court next month.

:16:46. > :16:51.Tuesday marks the second anniversary of a devastating 7.1

:16:51. > :16:53.magnitude earthquake which struck New Zealand's South Island. There

:16:53. > :16:58.were no fatalities, but Christchurch, the country's second-

:16:58. > :17:08.largest city, suffered serious damage. Then a strong aftershock

:17:08. > :17:12.

:17:12. > :17:15.followed five months later, killing 185 people. Much more on all other

:19:50. > :19:54.worse, especially for the middle class. It is essentially a negative

:19:54. > :19:57.message, a long way from Hope and change.

:19:57. > :20:00.Four British Christians who claim they lost their jobs as a result of

:20:00. > :20:03.discrimination against their beliefs are taking their cases to

:20:03. > :20:06.the European Court of Human Rights today. The court must decide

:20:20. > :20:23.Ireland. Three of them were taken to hospital. Officers fired baton

:20:23. > :20:26.rounds and used water cannon when they came under attack from rioters

:20:26. > :20:28.throwing petrol bombs and bricks. The violence began over the weekend

:20:28. > :20:38.when pro-British Protestants in the city attacked an Irish Republican

:20:38. > :20:41.parade Another night in north Belfast and

:20:41. > :20:46.another riot. Like on Sunday evening, the police came under

:20:46. > :20:50.sustained attack as they tried to keep loyalist and republican crowds

:20:50. > :20:56.apart. The trouble was in the same place, the Carlisle Circus area,

:20:56. > :21:00.I'd be a mile from Belfast city centre. 47 police officers were

:21:00. > :21:05.hurt on Sunday. More were injured last night. They were hit with

:21:06. > :21:09.stones, bottles, bricks, golf balls, petrol bombs and fireworks. Police

:21:13. > :21:17.rounds. Tensions have been simmering since July, when a

:21:17. > :21:22.loyalist band was accused of playing his sectarian June outside

:21:23. > :21:26.a Catholic Church. There were a number of clashes last month, but

:21:26. > :21:34.nothing on this scale. Politicians across Northern Ireland have

:21:34. > :21:38.condemned the violence, but they haven't found a way of stopping it.

:21:38. > :21:42.Prince Harry has made his first public appearance since those

:21:42. > :21:44.photographs were published of him naked at a party in Las Vegas. He's

:21:44. > :21:48.attended an awards ceremony organised by the WellChild charity

:21:48. > :21:50.to support seriously ill children and their medical staff. This

:21:50. > :21:55.report from our royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell contains some

:21:55. > :21:59.flash photography. This was Harry attempting to

:21:59. > :22:02.restore his image so it is closer to what people expect to see the

:22:02. > :22:07.Royal Family doing and away from the seediness of that late night in

:22:07. > :22:10.Las Vegas. He has been patron of the charity WellChild for five

:22:11. > :22:17.years, it recognises the courage of children and their carers who are

:22:17. > :22:22.faced with medical adversity. At a reception, Harry did what he always

:22:22. > :22:28.did well, chatting easily with some of the youngsters. And at an awards

:22:28. > :22:33.ceremony, he presented the most inspirational Child Award to two 5

:22:33. > :22:39.euros, Alexander Lurgan who suffers from leukaemia, and hope Hillis,

:22:39. > :22:43.who has had more than 50 operations -- two five year-olds. It was

:22:43. > :22:47.difficult, Harry said, to find the words to describe how inspiring he

:22:47. > :22:51.finds this. It is you who represents the very best of Britain.

:22:51. > :22:55.Your spirit triumphs to adversity and makes our everyday worries seem

:22:55. > :22:58.very, very insignificant. It had been an opportunity for Harry to

:22:59. > :23:04.demonstrate the side of him that perhaps people most admire. A

:23:04. > :23:08.caring prince with an easy manner. That and his ongoing military

:23:08. > :23:14.commitments as a helicopter pilot well, his advisers have, or sooner

:23:14. > :23:19.raised or at least soften the images of a weekend away that got

:23:19. > :23:26.out of hand. The Fuego volcano in central

:23:26. > :23:29.Guatemala spewed ash at least, to into the air yesterday. There have

:23:29. > :23:33.been lava flows down the east and west of the volcano and authorities

:23:33. > :23:35.say the ash could affect air traffic.

:23:35. > :23:37.For blind and visually impaired fans making their way to the

:23:37. > :23:42.Paralympic Games this week, navigating London's transport

:23:42. > :23:45.network could seem quite daunting. To get an understanding of what

:23:45. > :23:48.it's like to make that journey, the BBC World Service's Mani Djazmi -

:23:48. > :23:53.who's been blind since childhood - travelled from the centre of the

:23:54. > :23:57.city to the Paralympic Park. Welcome to the heart of the

:23:57. > :24:01.Paralympic city. Usually teeming with tourists, but for the moment,

:24:01. > :24:05.many of these are going east, where the Paralympic Games are taking

:24:05. > :24:08.place. Of course, for the Paralympic athletes, getting around

:24:08. > :24:13.the venues and the village is fairly straightforward. They get

:24:13. > :24:17.chauffeured to wherever they need to be. But what if you are a

:24:17. > :24:20.disabled fan and you want to get to the Games by yourself? For me as a

:24:20. > :24:30.blind person, my journey will always start with my favourite mode

:24:30. > :24:31.

:24:31. > :24:37.of transport in London, the tube. The first thing I need to do is

:24:37. > :24:40.find a helpful member of staff. Would you mind showing me to the

:24:40. > :24:46.top of the Victoria northbound escalator, please? Of course. This

:24:46. > :24:50.way. That is very kind, thanks a lot for

:24:50. > :24:54.your help. Cheers. You can ask members of staff to go

:24:54. > :24:58.all the way to the platform with you, but I know this station really

:24:58. > :25:02.well, so I will make my own way there.

:25:02. > :25:07.It is all very well for me to swan around the place like Ioan it, but

:25:07. > :25:11.that is because I am very familiar with here. Just close your eyes and

:25:11. > :25:15.imagine you are a blind person who has come here for the first time.

:25:15. > :25:19.You emerge onto the platform, there are people everywhere, there is the

:25:19. > :25:23.noise of the train, you don't care how far away from the age you are,

:25:23. > :25:31.you don't care who you could walk into. Every step is a voyage of

:25:31. > :25:37.discovery. -- From the Edge.

:25:37. > :25:40.We are off at King's Cross. Three stops. One of the best things about

:25:40. > :25:43.the underground is the announcements, because even if you

:25:43. > :25:53.don't quite know where you are, what you have lost your bearings,

:25:53. > :26:02.

:26:02. > :26:12.you have a chance of getting off at Backs a lot for your help. Have a

:26:12. > :26:22.

:26:22. > :26:26.good day. -- thanks a lot. Is this And here I am at the Paralympic

:26:26. > :26:29.Park. You may have noticed that the journey getting here was pretty

:26:29. > :26:33.straightforward and that may have had something to do with the fact

:26:33. > :26:38.that we alerted Transport for London, so that their staff were

:26:38. > :26:41.perhaps a little bit extra prepared for make and not every day is that
