Syrian state television has reported a statement from an | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
official military source reacting to a major explosions that have | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
targeted the Army and Air Force buildings in Damascus. The | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
statement said no senior military personnel were injured in the blast | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
near Umayyad Square. It said the two explosions were as a result of | :01:35. | :01:42. | |
a car bomb and one in the general premises of the building. | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
In the heart of Damascus a major military building blazing out of | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
control. This act of the studio, which we cannot be independently | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
verified, shows the heavily-guarded General Staff headquarters | :01:53. | :01:59. | |
apparently stricken by the bomb blasts. Shooting broke out | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
immediately after the explosions. Officials said security forces were | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
chasing what they called terrorists in the nearby area. Diplomats said | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
troops were conducting house-to- house searches. The whole of | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
Damascus was shaken by the blasts, which went off just as the morning | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
rush-hour was starting. They were the biggest explosions to have | :02:21. | :02:27. | |
happened in months. Western parts of the city but paralysed as the | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
security try to contain it. Syrian state TV was the first to report | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
the blast but then there was a silence on the outcome. But | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
reassuring words from the Information Minister. He said none | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
of the Military Command staff were injured and everything was normal. | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
With the violence worsened in and around 150 people being killed | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
every day, Syria dominated the UN general Assembly discussions in New | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
York. The French are among those growing impatient at action to halt | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
the carnage. TRANSLATION: Without further delay, | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
I ask the United Nations to give the Syrian people now the support | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
they are requesting, and in particular, that the liberated | :03:11. | :03:18. | |
areas be protected. But there's still no appetite in the West for | :03:18. | :03:25. | |
the kind of intervention this would require. Arab military intervention | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
is equally unlikely, though someone to see it. The relentless violence | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
is destined to go on. It is now engulfing all parts of the country. | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
But the regime will not give way and the rebels will not give up. | :03:39. | :03:45. | |
The outside world does not have an answer. | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
The man who could arguably be described as the most controversial | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
figure in South African politics at the moment is, once again, in the | :03:52. | :04:00. | |
spotlight. That is Julius Malema, former Duke -- former leader of the | :04:00. | :04:08. | |
Querrey. He has appeared in court charged with money laundering. -- | :04:08. | :04:14. | |
leader of ANC Youth League. I asked him what reaction there had been to | :04:14. | :04:21. | |
the charge. The surprise is, certainly amongst the crowd, but it | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
was only one charge relating to laundering. We believe it links to | :04:27. | :04:36. | |
his family trust. It had money put in it by businessmen. He has been | :04:36. | :04:44. | |
posted bail, 10,000 rand. That is about $1,000. Will this be seen by | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
his supporters as... I know it is a criminal case, but nonetheless, a | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
partial victory, and as much as we were expecting a wider raft of | :04:52. | :05:00. | |
charges to be laid, weren't we? It is early days and it is entirely | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
possible further charges will be added. It is also possible to | :05:05. | :05:11. | |
people will say, look, this is another find that this prosecution | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
has been rushed at the last minute because of political pressure and | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
they have not got their case together properly. But it will be a | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
long, slow process, and presumably the details will come out sooner or | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
later. With anti-austerity strikes getting | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
under way in Greece, there is a wide scale strike. The Spanish | :05:33. | :05:39. | |
capital Madrid is getting, again. But there were protests again last | :05:39. | :05:47. | |
night. -- getting calm again. And protesters charged the government | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
building, angry at the government's ever stricter spending cuts. Let's | :05:51. | :06:00. | |
have a look for you now in the heart of Athens, Syntagma Square. A | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
general strike and it is public and private sector. It will last for 24 | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
hours and it is the first of this scale since the current coalition | :06:08. | :06:14. | |
government, led by the Conservative, Antonis Samaras, came into power | :06:14. | :06:20. | |
back in June. Aaron is with me as we consider the pickle the | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
government is in. They have got paid general strike on their hands | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
so it is clear what people think about further cuts. They don't | :06:28. | :06:35. | |
Institute the cuts and they can -- if they don't Institute the cuts, | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
they can wave goodbye to the bail out. Yes. That is just it. Here is | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
the problem - we are already hearing the Finance Ministry has | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
approved this new austerity package, worth some $15 billion. But is | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
still has to go to the collision for approval and to, very | :06:55. | :07:03. | |
importantly, the international physically testing Athens and | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
giving them a report card to see if they can do all they can to get | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
this chance of bail out money. 31 billion euros. Without it, they | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
cannot pay visible servants and their salaries. And things like | :07:14. | :07:23. | |
that. So it is very important for Athens. But Spain is quieter today | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
after those rather violent protests last night with rubber bullets | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
being fired. What we saw in Spain and Athens, the markets do not like | :07:32. | :07:38. | |
it. It is what makes them rather jittery. And this is off the back | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
of the eurozone mess. And the yield, the cost of borrowing for countries | :07:42. | :07:48. | |
like Spain, and like Italy, they are on the up, and a higher these | :07:48. | :07:54. | |
costs go, it basically signals that investors are not confident. But | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
Spain is at the epicentre at the moment of the eurozone debt crisis | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
because tomorrow we get the 2013 Budget on the table and the Newbury | :08:03. | :08:09. | |
structural reforms. They are on the table as well. -- the new | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
structural reforms. On Friday, we get the final results of the stress | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
test of the Spanish banking system and we already know the eurozone | :08:17. | :08:26. | |
collectively have promised 125 billion euros of a bail out. Sorry, | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
$125 billion. What we are hearing is that the Prime Minister wants to | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
put this out on the table officially with further cuts before | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
he then puts his hands up officially and says, OK, we will | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
need a full-blown bail out. So that is what we are hearing first. | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
done deal first? Absolutely. Because he has said there is only a | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
certain line he will cross in terms of what measures and conditions | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
come with a certain bail out. Let's listen to the experts I have been | :08:56. | :09:03. | |
talking to this morning, starting with Greece. The growth outlook has | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
deteriorated. The actual growth numbers we are seeing are worse | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
than implied in the initial projections for the second bail out. | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
This austerity package itself has been delayed considerably. It | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
should originally have gone through in June, so the delay of reforms | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
and of state sales means the outlook is now a lot worse. So even | :09:24. | :09:29. | |
if they managed to get this through, as is looking likely, after a lot | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
of bargaining between the coalition partners, it could still not be | :09:34. | :09:39. | |
enough and more austerity is likely to be required. That is going to | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
increase tensions within the coalition, and the risk is, it | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
could only be a matter of time before that government collapses, | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
and then you could be faced with the anti-bail out party that is | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
riding high in the opinion polls, threatening to get back into power. | :09:54. | :10:00. | |
And that is a big worry. While I am talking to you, we are seeing the | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
live pictures from Athens. A big Greek promise and a move that was | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
supposed to underpin the reforms and be the big money raised it was | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
Greig privatisation, but we are hearing hardly anything at all has | :10:12. | :10:19. | |
been done. -- Greek privatisation. Like everything with the reform and | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
austerity programme, there has not been much going through. There have | :10:24. | :10:29. | |
been delays and hold ups. This compares the situation and then the | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
markets are getting jittery again. And all of the sort of... Tuna, we | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
saw some relief after the actions of the central bank in Europe. -- | :10:38. | :10:48. | |
:10:48. | :10:50. | ||
you know. That needs to be activated and with these worries in | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
Greece and Spain, the markets are getting jittery and we could see | :10:53. | :10:59. | |
tensions rising. We will keep a cross that. Let's move on. Lloyds, | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
the largest insurance market, has cashed in on a quiet spell for | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
natural disasters because today it announced a profit of just over | :11:08. | :11:14. | |
�1.5 billion, over $2 billion. But is in stark contrast to last year, | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
which was the second most expensive on record for insurers, with claims | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
of almost $21 billion, and that followed the severe floods in | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
Australia and Thailand, the earthquake in New Zealand as well, | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
of course. And Japan's devastating earthquake. This year has been | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
virtually disaster-free. But the eurozone crisis is an ongoing | :11:36. | :11:44. | |
challenge for Lloyds. A little earlier, I spoke to a member of | :11:44. | :11:51. | |
Lloyds about how what was affecting his business. The eurozone crisis | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
is affecting the European economy and the global economy. It is | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
affecting people's confidence, and so it is more challenging for us to | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
make a return on those investments and governments have reduced | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
interest rates to virtually zero. It is difficult to find asset | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
classes to invest in. It presents a challenge but also an opportunity. | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
We are in the business of risk and helping people manage it. On the | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
Continent, Europe and in Spain and Greece, people still need to manage | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
their assets and we are there to help them. That is the boss of | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
Lloyds of London talking about the negatives of the eurozone but there | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
are also positives. It is important we talk about the governments | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
handling the crisis but also how corporates are handing it. Thank | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
you. Thank you for watching BBC World | :12:43. | :12:49. | |
News. Plenty more still to come, including, JK Rowling speaking to | :12:49. | :12:57. | |
Will Gompertz about her first book for adults. And a mention of Harry. | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
At least seven people have died in Indonesia in a collision between a | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
ferry and a cargo ship. A spokesman for the transport ministry said 200 | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
made crew and passengers had been evacuated from the very and it is | :13:09. | :13:15. | |
not yet confirmed how many were on board. -- 208 crew. Rescue workers | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
are still looking for the missing. The ferry links Java and Sumatra | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
islands. Scientists who have spent two and a | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
half years investigating marine life have claimed to found more | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
than a million and a half new species of plant and. There are | :13:32. | :13:42. | |
some amazing pictures to go with it. Out of the deep, these dazzling | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
discoveries. You are looking at plankton, microscopic plants and | :13:46. | :13:51. | |
animals that drift through our seas and oceans. They might be small but | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
they are vital. They produce the oxygen in every second breath we | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
breathe. They take carbon-dioxide out of the atmosphere and there are | :14:00. | :14:06. | |
at the base of the food chain, so if there is no plankton, there is | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
no fish in the ocean. More things we have to understand more about to | :14:10. | :14:17. | |
understand how the Russian works. This boat is moored up after a two- | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
and-a-half-year voyage of discovery all over the world. The aim of the | :14:21. | :14:26. | |
scientists on board, to take the pulse of the planet. What they | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
found surprised them all. Scientists thought there were | :14:30. | :14:35. | |
30,000 different plot that species. In fact, there are one and a half | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
million. We always thought ocean biodiversity is lower than | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
diversity on the land but knowing now that there is something like | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
1.5 million, it basically brings biodiversity in the ocean up to | :14:47. | :14:53. | |
raise similar level as that on land and in the forests and so on. | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
team collected tens of thousands of samples and there are still being | :14:56. | :15:06. | |
:15:06. | :15:07. | ||
analysed. Among the strangest, this, the drop, cover and hold. It is the | :15:07. | :15:16. | |
world's long this creature, up to 40,000 metres long. -- the | :15:16. | :15:22. | |

money laundering and released on The former chief executive of News | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
International is appearing in court along with the British Prime | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
Minister's former director of communications Wendy Coulson. They | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
are due at London's Old Bailey with five other journalists from the | :16:15. | :16:20. | |
defunct tabloid to face charges linked to the investigation into | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
phone hacking. We can speak to our legal affairs Correspondent at the | :16:23. | :16:30. | |
Old Bailey. Two of the biggest names. Just to be absolutely clear | :16:30. | :16:34. | |
about this, there were two Casey's before the court this morning. One | :16:34. | :16:39. | |
of them related to charges of conspiracy to pervert the course of | :16:39. | :16:45. | |
justice and the defendant in that case, Ms Brooks, husband, her | :16:45. | :16:52. | |
former PA and four other former employees of News International | :16:52. | :16:57. | |
employed in various capacities. That was one set of charges. That | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
relate to the concealing or allegations of concealing or | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
evidence from the police or indeed removing evidence from News | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
International. That was one set of charges. In addition to that There | :17:09. | :17:14. | |
are another set of charges which are based on conspiracy to | :17:14. | :17:21. | |
intercept voice mails. Eight defendants in that case, including | :17:21. | :17:26. | |
Ms Brooks, Andy Coulson, former director of communications at | :17:26. | :17:33. | |
Downing Street, and a raft of other senior editorial staff at the | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
former News of the world and the private detective Glenn Mulcaire. | :17:37. | :17:42. | |
Both cases were before the court this morning. All we can really | :17:42. | :17:47. | |
report is that directions were given in both of those cases that a | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
proposed trial date of 9th September next year, one year's | :17:50. | :17:55. | |
time, has been set. Even that is only a proposed trial date. It was | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
a very crowded it dock at the Old Bailey with the people I have | :17:59. | :18:05. | |
mentioned in it, and each of those people, when it was put to them, | :18:05. | :18:10. | |
whether they could identify themselves, they spoke simply to | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
identify themselves. All of them were then bailed. There will be | :18:13. | :18:18. | |
another hearing on 12th December but because of the reporting | :18:18. | :18:23. | |
restrictions that is all I can inform you about. | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
We all have to grow up and move on eventually. That seems to be the | :18:27. | :18:30. | |
message from the writer of the most famous children's books of recent | :18:30. | :18:34. | |
times. JK Rowling's first book aimed at an adult readership is out | :18:34. | :18:41. | |
on Thursday. She has been talking to our arts editor. | :18:41. | :18:47. | |
They you are, reasonably successful children's author, characters | :18:47. | :18:54. | |
people quite like. Why change horses and courses? | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
Because this is the thing I wanted to write next, it is not very | :18:57. | :19:02. | |
complicated. I had the idea, I knew I would love to write it, so that | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
is where it all started. I did not sit down to write this novel, no | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
part of me felt, got to prove, I had nothing to prove. I don't mean | :19:11. | :19:16. | |
that in an arrogant way. I certainly did mean that I cannot | :19:16. | :19:23. | |
improve as a writer, I certainly don't mean, coming from a place of | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
self-satisfaction. Harry Potter it truly liberated me. It liberated me | :19:28. | :19:34. | |
in the sense that there is only one reason to right now, for me, if I | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
genuinely have something I want to say and want to publish it. Why was | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
it the thing you wanted to write next? | :19:41. | :19:46. | |
The truth is the idea just came to me and I just had that almost | :19:46. | :19:48. | |
visceral reaction when you are excited about something and you | :19:48. | :19:55. | |
know you want to do it. I could go back and say, well, it plays into | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
certain areas of my life. It is quite a personal book, things I | :19:59. | :20:05. | |
think about a lot. It is personal in the sense that it deals with | :20:05. | :20:10. | |
broad themes that have affected my life in a very real sense, poverty, | :20:10. | :20:17. | |
for example. Their attitudes depicted in this book -- there are | :20:17. | :20:22. | |
attitudes. I found myself suffering from these at a formative time in | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
my life. Did you have those experiences that | :20:26. | :20:32. | |
you project onto your characters? I wouldn't want to go there too | :20:32. | :20:38. | |
much. I will say, as is well documented, I have had my issues | :20:38. | :20:44. | |
with mental health, have been depressed, in my teenage years I | :20:44. | :20:49. | |
had issues with anxiety. The Casual Vacancy is a story set | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
in a small English town in which a rough council estate becomes a | :20:53. | :20:58. | |
divisive issue in a community riven with pate, prejudice and exclusion. | :20:58. | :21:04. | |
Expletives are bound -- with hate. Do you worry children who are fans | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
of yours will be on an internet site where you can download these | :21:07. | :21:14. | |
books? I hope that we have made it really | :21:14. | :21:21. | |
clear this isn't a book for children. I have been open about | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
the themes, we have talked about what the story is about, I would | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
think parents could make a clear choice. | :21:28. | :21:33. | |
It might not be the parents making the choice. | :21:33. | :21:40. | |
With children, well, I suppose I would have to ask why have kids got | :21:40. | :21:46. | |
access to the internet a yard downloading things I would be even | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
more worried they would be downloading. | :21:50. | :21:55. | |
There is something of Dickens about this book. | :21:55. | :22:03. | |
I am very flattered. When I did start writing it I was aware that I | :22:03. | :22:09. | |
was doing a contemporary version of what I love, which is a big, fat, a | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
nineteenth-century novel set in a small community. To panic step -- | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
to an extent, swear words notwithstanding, that is what The | :22:17. | :22:21. | |
Casual Vacancy is. What do you aspire to as a writer? To get | :22:21. | :22:26. | |
better it would be great. I think you are working and learning until | :22:26. | :22:36. | |
:22:36. | :22:36. | ||
you die. I can say with my hand on my heart I will never write for any | :22:36. | :22:41. | |
reason other than I'd burning we wanted to write the book. A couple | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
of the Harry Potter books I knew that they needed another year. | :22:45. | :22:49. | |
Towards the end? One towards the beginning and one towards the end | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
that I felt that about. I had to write on the run. There were times | :22:53. | :23:01. | |
when it was really tough. I read them and I think, Oh God, maybe I | :23:01. | :23:11. | |
:23:11. | :23:11. | ||
will go back and do a director's cut, I did know. -- I do not know. | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
As a writer, you have created a portfolio of characters which | :23:16. | :23:21. | |
connect with millions, maybe billions, of people. An | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
extraordinary extreme -- achievement. Surely you cannot | :23:25. | :23:35. | |
:23:35. | :23:37. | ||
leave them be. It was murder saying goodbye, but | :23:37. | :23:43. | |
where Harry's story is concerned I am done. Now, if I had a fabulous | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
idea that came out of that world because I loved writing it, I would | :23:48. | :23:55. | |
do it. But I have got to have a great idea. I don't want to go it | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
mechanically back into that world and pick up a load of odds and ends | :23:58. | :24:03. | |
and the them together and say we can sell us. -- and glue them | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
together. It would make a mockery of what those books were. They kept | :24:07. | :24:12. | |
me going through rough times so I don't want to betray them. Maybe a | :24:12. | :24:19. | |
sidetrack. I am not sure. A sidestep, we will see. Very | :24:19. | :24:26. | |
difficult to say how angry I felt that my five-year-old daughter's | :24:26. | :24:34. | |
school was no longer a place of complete security from journalists. | :24:34. | :24:39. | |
On Leveson you gave a moving account about what happened to you. | :24:39. | :24:42. | |
Do you think it will change anything? | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
It is a massive question for our culture. We have got to get it | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
right. I believe in the freedom of the press passionately, but having | :24:49. | :24:56. | |
been on the receiving end of some dubious, illegal behaviour, how do | :24:56. | :25:02. | |
the cleaners up? I do not know. I hope and pray it does change things. | :25:02. | :25:07. | |
-- clean this up. It is toxic what has been allowed to go on. Thank | :25:07. | :25:14. | |
you very much. Very interesting stuff. It is | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
understood to of the five terrorism suspects facing extradition to the | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
United States from the UK have asked the High Court to block their | :25:22. | :25:27. | |
removal. The two suspects have filed an application to stage their | :25:27. | :25:32. | |
extradition. We cannot say at the moment which of the five suspects | :25:32. | :25:34. | |
they are but campaigners on their behalf have launched a private | :25:34. | :25:39. | |
prosecution against them to get the case heard in the UK, rather than | :25:39. | :25:43. | |
in the US. Obviously we will keep a cross that story for you. | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
Here in the UK the worst September storms for 30 years have blown | :25:47. | :25:52. | |
through the country. One part of Scotland, in fact, it caused quite | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
an unusual sight. Gale force winds and torrential rain combined to | :25:56. | :26:04. | |
blow what was he sand filled foam off the North Sea and into the | :26:04. | :26:06. | |
street of Aberdeen. Severe conditions have been causing | :26:06. | :26:11. | |
flooding, disrupting rail and ferry services in much of Scotland, but | :26:11. | :26:17. | |
not like this everywhere. For one little chap there in Aberdeen this | :26:17. | :26:21. | |
invasion looked like nothing but great fun. | :26:21. | :26:25. | |
New pictures of the missing 15- year-old schoolgirl Medhin stammer | :26:25. | :26:30. | |
and her 30 world maths teacher had been released by police -- 30-year- | :26:30. | :26:39. | |
old maths teacher. -- Megan Stammers. An investigation into | :26:39. | :26:42. | |
their relationship had been going on for several months after they | :26:42. | :26:48. | |
were spotted holding hands on a school trip. Just to remind you, if | :26:48. | :26:54. |
