:01:16. > :01:21.islands in the East China Sea. They are located along of fighting
:01:21. > :01:25.shipping lanes and are believed to be rich in oil and natural gas. Now,
:01:25. > :01:32.Taiwan has sailed into the affair. A flotilla of Taiwanese fishing
:01:32. > :01:37.boats entered the waters around the archipelago, called Senkaku in
:01:37. > :01:43.Japan and Daioyu in China. The protest was brief. But it was
:01:43. > :01:48.political. Amassing the largest float delay in
:01:48. > :01:53.years. Taiwan asserts its claims to the disputed islands. The boats
:01:53. > :01:57.carried nearly 300 Taiwanese fishermen. They insist that their
:01:57. > :02:01.waters are the traditional fishing grounds of their country, cast down
:02:01. > :02:05.to them by their ancestors. Japan's Coast Guard vessels ordered them to
:02:05. > :02:10.leave. But one point, they used high-pressure water cannons to try
:02:10. > :02:14.to drive them away. Taiwan's coastguard vessels, which came to
:02:14. > :02:19.protect the fishermen, insisted they had a right to be there and
:02:19. > :02:23.told to Japan to leave instead. The Taiwanese boats also sprayed water
:02:23. > :02:29.on Japanese ships. All sides are aware of the high stakes involved,
:02:29. > :02:33.especially Taiwan. It needs Japan, not only as a trade partner, but as
:02:33. > :02:37.a friend in the region as it faces military threats from China, which
:02:37. > :02:42.still claims the island as its province. The Taiwanese boats did
:02:42. > :02:47.not linger long. They headed back to Taiwan after making a point. In
:02:47. > :02:54.Beijing, the Vice Foreign Ministers of the two major powers in the

:03:08. > :03:13.as two of its important neighbours, China and Taiwan, both seem
:03:13. > :03:16.increasingly insistent. Translation one of the things we have to think
:03:16. > :03:22.of is how to deal with all of the ships that are coming from China
:03:22. > :03:26.and Taiwan to Senkaku, and how to keep relations stable and it wants

:03:49. > :03:53.a long way off. Until then, tier 1's coastguard says it will

:04:33. > :04:38.collected first-hand accounts of trauma suffered by children who
:04:38. > :04:43.managed to get out of Syria. They describe experiencing torture and
:04:43. > :04:47.witnessing atrocities, like 15- year-old Khalid. He says he was
:04:47. > :04:52.hung up by his wrists and beaten in his old school, which had been
:04:52. > :04:56.turned into a torture centre. Another boy, Hassan, says he saw
:04:56. > :05:01.shabbiha create a human shield using children. The charity says
:05:01. > :05:06.that children in Syria need urgent help. Mike Wooldridge has been
:05:07. > :05:10.looking at the report. What the children have come up with
:05:10. > :05:16.here are 18 first-hand accounts from refugee children they have
:05:16. > :05:25.spoken to, that Save the Children workers have spoken to. The
:05:25. > :05:28.accounts, in their view, amount to have shocking testimony, as they
:05:28. > :05:32.put it. It collectively suggests that children have been the target
:05:32. > :05:37.of brutal attacks, that they have seen, in a good number of cases,
:05:37. > :05:41.the deaths of parents and other children. In some cases, they say
:05:41. > :05:48.they have experienced torture. They don't necessarily suggest who is
:05:48. > :05:53.responsible for these alleged atrocities. Nor, in many cases, is
:05:53. > :05:56.there any time or place to make it clear exactly what happened. They
:05:56. > :06:06.certainly believe that this, in their view, corroborate the sort of
:06:06. > :06:11.thing we have heard before from the UN and other human rights groups.
:06:11. > :06:13.In their view, this even more justifies the UN taking tough
:06:13. > :06:16.action on Syria and, indeed, that there should be a process of
:06:16. > :06:22.greater documentation of the kind that they believe they are
:06:22. > :06:29.contributing to. Time for business news. Aran has
:06:29. > :06:34.just bounced in. Mario Draghi, is he dancing today? He's got to do
:06:34. > :06:40.something. He's on a big charm offensive to try to convince the
:06:40. > :06:44.Germans that his bond buying programme, he is going to buy up
:06:44. > :06:48.troubled debt from the eurozone economies. That has the Germans are
:06:48. > :06:53.very worried. They think the programme=printing money. And
:06:53. > :06:57.printing money equals higher inflation. It is definitely a major
:06:57. > :07:02.concern and he has a major charm offensive. There is a lot going on
:07:02. > :07:08.in the eurozone. Tomorrow, he meets Angela Merkel. There is a lot more
:07:08. > :07:14.happening. The new high-rise headquarters of
:07:14. > :07:20.the European Central Bank. Topped off only last week. At least 300
:07:20. > :07:26.million euros over budget. Will they ECB President's also be over
:07:26. > :07:31.budget with bail-outs? The ECB is ready to do whatever it takes to
:07:31. > :07:38.preserve the euro. Whatever it takes. That phrase made German
:07:38. > :07:43.business shudder. This business park in Berlin is a huge cluster of
:07:43. > :07:51.high-tech companies. This is Germany's biggest science park.
:07:51. > :07:57.8000 workers in 450 companies, virtually a hi-tech small town. New
:07:57. > :08:03.German industry, but old German worries. Inflation. They fear that
:08:03. > :08:07.ECB bond buying adds up to printing money. The question I will be
:08:07. > :08:12.asking Mario Draghi is how he will really be able to put the genie
:08:12. > :08:15.back into the bottle. That genie of inflation is all the talk of the
:08:15. > :08:21.big conference of German business leaders now under way. These are
:08:21. > :08:26.the people who owned and run German industry. They want answers.
:08:26. > :08:31.would be wonderful if Mario Draghi could explain the logic behind the
:08:31. > :08:34.ECB's recent policy moves. I think there is a misconception in Germany
:08:34. > :08:40.about the role of central banks, given that the Bundesbank, quite
:08:40. > :08:45.legitimately, has a point of view that is widely shared by the German
:08:45. > :08:49.public. On the other hand, you have the ECB, which assumes a much wider
:08:49. > :08:54.responsibility. I think it would be helpful if Mario Draghi could
:08:55. > :09:00.explain that he is not acting in contradiction to the Bundesbank.
:09:00. > :09:10.the new ECB rises, Germans fear it is overpowering their Bundesbank
:09:10. > :09:14.values. Can Mario Draghi reassure Can he indeed, that is the question.
:09:14. > :09:21.Let's move on. It is the scandal that rocked corporate Japan and
:09:21. > :09:26.sent tremors about good governance across the globe. Olympus pleaded
:09:26. > :09:29.guilty to charges that they covered up losses worth $1.7 billion
:09:29. > :09:35.stemming from bad investment. Former President Tsuyoshi Kikukawa
:09:35. > :09:39.said that he would take full responsibility for the crime and
:09:39. > :09:43.also that the cash-strapped company could benefit from plans by Sony to
:09:43. > :09:47.invest just over $640 million, becoming its biggest shareholder.
:09:47. > :09:53.Let's get more from Charlie Parker. Always good to see you. Does this
:09:53. > :09:57.draw a line? It has been a long line, but does it draw a line under
:09:57. > :10:01.the sand with the former chairman saying, yes, I take responsibility?
:10:01. > :10:06.As far as investors are concerned, it says that this is dealt with,
:10:06. > :10:09.the share price and start to recover. We can stop worrying about
:10:09. > :10:13.a love this in isolation. But it has fulfilled a lot of investor
:10:13. > :10:17.fears about Japanese corporate governance in general. You might
:10:17. > :10:22.even say the prejudices about Japanese businesses. It enhanced
:10:22. > :10:25.the perception that they are run by a largely elderly Japanese
:10:25. > :10:28.executives that are hostile to foreign executives coming in. For
:10:28. > :10:32.that reason, the implications for the wider Japanese stock market
:10:32. > :10:37.carry on. I am glad you touched on that. I was reading one of the
:10:37. > :10:41.notes, one of the papers that he put out. You were saying that, on
:10:41. > :10:44.the face of it, investors would be crazy not to buy into Japanese
:10:44. > :10:49.customers. They are incredibly cheap, they boast globally strong
:10:50. > :10:54.franchises, technologically they are very excellent. Yet, correct me
:10:54. > :10:58.if I am wrong, Japan remains one of the most shunned major stock
:10:58. > :11:02.markets in the world? Absolutely, shares are incredibly cheap
:11:02. > :11:05.compared to other developed markets. At the heart of it is a sense from
:11:05. > :11:10.foreign investors that they are not being represented properly at the
:11:10. > :11:15.top of Japanese businesses. There are other factors like Japan
:11:15. > :11:21.refusing to devalue the yen and so forth. The thing that pervades in
:11:21. > :11:27.it is a lack of confidence in top executives. His sense that if you
:11:27. > :11:29.buy a share in a Japanese company, you cannot count on the big
:11:30. > :11:33.Japanese shareholders to fight short-corner. In the Olympics
:11:33. > :11:38.scandal, very few Japanese shareholders said anything to
:11:38. > :11:43.criticise them. The banks were silent. That really exacerbated the
:11:43. > :11:47.problem for these shares. The country desperately needs its stock
:11:47. > :11:52.market to be re-rated for the shares to go up in price, to help
:11:52. > :11:56.build the economy. If we talk about an Olympus, you mentioned the
:11:57. > :12:00.shares, cannot get past this scandal? From the reports that we
:12:00. > :12:05.are reading, it could get by with a bit of a tie-up or investment from
:12:05. > :12:12.Sony? That is the irony, of course. As much as we criticise Japanese
:12:12. > :12:16.executives for being a bit of a club, they are doing exactly that.
:12:16. > :12:20.Sony wants to take advantage of the fall in their shares over the past
:12:20. > :12:24.year. They know they still make incredible products. I am sure that
:12:24. > :12:28.the company can rebuild and its own right and go forward from here. It
:12:28. > :12:30.does leave this very negative legacy on reinforcing investor
:12:30. > :12:36.prejudice about some incredibly good companies that you find in
:12:36. > :12:40.Tokyo. Great stuff as always, thanks very much, mate.
:12:40. > :12:50.An interesting story indeed. I will have more business through the rest

:16:49. > :16:56.security correspondent has been following developments and has been
:16:56. > :17:04.explaining Queen Elizabeth's interest in this case. This was a
:17:04. > :17:09.conversation we had a while ago. She did say that she had mentioned

:17:46. > :17:50.remarkable she had made such comments. Our ensure the Queen has
:17:50. > :17:54.an opinion on a range of matters and she had discussions with the
:17:54. > :17:58.Prime Minister on a weekly basis. She has had a number of meetings,
:17:58. > :18:03.and conversations, and it is very unusual for the content of those
:18:03. > :18:09.conversations to be divulged. But what we understand is that she did

:18:15. > :18:18.slight concerns as to why this individual at large in the UK and

:19:59. > :20:02.more effective. The whole idea is to submerge the patient in a re-
:20:02. > :20:06.creation of what happened to them. With these goggles on it gives you
:20:06. > :20:10.a sense of being behind the wheel of a tank and there is a smell that
:20:10. > :20:17.is generated to make you feel like you're in Iraq, and then, when a
:20:17. > :20:21.bomb goes off, you feel it in your will and for at the body. -- you

:23:40. > :23:43.When South Sudan split from the North some vital issues were left

:23:46. > :23:49.the countries to the brink of war. Now the leaders of Sudan and South
:23:49. > :23:52.Sudan are in Ethiopia for talks where it's hoped they'll come to an
:23:52. > :23:55.agreement on borders, security and oil. The UN is threatening
:23:55. > :24:02.sanctions if a deal isn't reached. The BBC's James Copnall is in
:24:02. > :24:05.Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa where the talks are taking place. Despite
:24:05. > :24:09.several hours of talks, the comprehensive agreement has not
:24:09. > :24:11.been reached. The outstanding issues are pretty clear. They
:24:12. > :24:16.concern the Morda, the demilitarised buffer zone, and the
:24:16. > :24:20.disputed reason and oil seems to be largely under control there. But
:24:20. > :24:27.the public statements of those from both camps have become increasingly
:24:27. > :24:36.pessimistic. Here is the south Sudanese view. We have said earlier
:24:36. > :24:43.that any successful efforts will be dependent on Khartoum. If it is
:24:43. > :24:48.complying and goes with regional decisions such as the UN Security
:24:48. > :24:56.Council, and the African Union road map, we will reach an agreement. If
:24:56. > :24:58.Khartoum does not comply with this then definitely we will face those
:24:58. > :25:06.problems and they restore the status between South Sudan and
:25:06. > :25:11.Sudan which will continue as a problem in security. The Sudanese
:25:11. > :25:15.people is no more positive. One official told me he had no idea op
:25:15. > :25:18.deal would be reached. Talks are continuing and there is a
:25:18. > :25:27.possibility that agreement will be reached, but the signs at the
:25:27. > :25:30.moment are not looking particularly positive. US drone strikes in
:25:30. > :25:32.north-west Pakistan are frequently killing and injuring rescuers in
:25:32. > :25:34.so-called "double-tap" strikes, where follow-up strikes target a
:25:34. > :25:41.location that's just been hit. That's according to a new report
:25:41. > :25:44.from two leading American universities. The supposed targets
:25:44. > :25:54.are al-Qaeda and Taliban militants but the authors concluded that many
