:01:14. > :01:17.The UN's refugee agency says the number of those fleeing the
:01:17. > :01:26.violence Syria could reach 700,000 by the end of the year. The agency
:01:26. > :01:28.warned that the UN was running out of time to stem the violence.
:01:28. > :01:30.Around 300,000 have already escaped to neighbouring Jordan, Iraq,
:01:30. > :01:35.Lebanon and Turkey. The organisation is appealing for half
:01:35. > :01:41.a billion dollars to help support the refugees. I'm joined on the
:01:41. > :01:46.line from Geneva by theunun's regional coordinator for Syrian
:01:46. > :01:52.refugees. Thank you very much for joining us. First of all, how do
:01:52. > :01:56.you arrive at that figure because it is a huge number. This figure is
:01:56. > :02:00.a humanitarian figure. It's based on trends, the fact that during
:02:00. > :02:04.August we have had an average of 3,000 refugees crossing the border.
:02:04. > :02:08.This September we continued to have 2,000 crossing the border, so we're
:02:08. > :02:13.forecasting to continue to receive and help Syrian refugees as they
:02:13. > :02:18.cross, but we're also seeing an increasing number of refugees who
:02:18. > :02:22.are already in Jordan or Lebanon who are are now coming forward to
:02:22. > :02:29.register because the vulnerability increases they need assistance. We
:02:29. > :02:33.want to make sure that in 52 organisations, NGOs we have put
:02:33. > :02:36.together our planning to make sure we have the resources, the
:02:36. > :02:41.humanitarian assistance to provide the very bare minimum to help the
:02:41. > :02:46.Syrian refugees when they cross the border. Right. We have pictures
:02:46. > :02:50.here at the moment of thousands at border crossings trying to get help
:02:50. > :02:54.of course. Give us an idea as to how well those refugees are being
:02:54. > :02:58.dealt with, being sheltered now, and perhaps give us an idea as to
:02:58. > :03:08.how much work you've got to do. First of all, the four neighbouring
:03:08. > :03:08.
:03:08. > :03:12.countries, of Turkey, Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon, needs to have an open
:03:12. > :03:17.border policy. It will help the neighbouring countries and host
:03:17. > :03:21.countries to help the refugees as they are. At the moment we have
:03:21. > :03:27.moved into an emergency mode. We have mobilised relief teams on the
:03:27. > :03:31.basis on a 24-hour basis. We have relief duty workers who go on duty
:03:31. > :03:35.at night to help the refugees when they arrive. The objective is to
:03:35. > :03:39.make sure every refugee has shelter. They're given medical emergency
:03:39. > :03:43.assistance, food, water, the basic assistance. Three-quarters of those
:03:43. > :03:47.crossing are women and children. Half of them are children, so we're
:03:47. > :03:51.seeing primarily families who are crossing the borders in significant
:03:52. > :03:58.numbers, and we're - unfortunately, we have seen a deterioration during
:03:58. > :04:01.the last two months, and we want to be sure we're ready to have the
:04:01. > :04:05.resources to continue supporting them. Obviously, the movement of
:04:05. > :04:09.this number of people is bound to bring tensions to the countries,
:04:09. > :04:14.isn't it? I suppose the problem the UN has as you put out this appeal
:04:15. > :04:19.for more money, it's the UN itself under fire for being unable to
:04:19. > :04:22.forge any positive position to try and stem the violence.
:04:22. > :04:28.humanitarian actors, our focus is on the humanitarian response. We
:04:28. > :04:35.hope very much to see a political solution, but obviously in the
:04:35. > :04:39.absence of this, those heroin consequences are dramatic and
:04:39. > :04:43.deteriorating as we speak, so the impact inside the country is
:04:43. > :04:45.reflected very clearly with thousands of people who are
:04:45. > :04:48.crossing the border. Thank you very much.
:04:48. > :04:51.The Spanish government is meeting to put the final touches to a new
:04:51. > :04:54.round of austerity measures. Details of the new budget are due
:04:54. > :05:02.to be announced to the public in just over an hour, but measures are
:05:02. > :05:12.expected to include higher taxes and changes to pensions. The Prime
:05:12. > :05:14.
:05:14. > :05:16.Minister is already facing unrest on the streets as Spaniards begin a
:05:16. > :05:19.a third day of protests against further austerity.
:05:19. > :05:22.The BBC's Tom Burridge is in Madrid with details of those budget
:05:22. > :05:26.announcements. If you believe the rumours, there are going to be deep
:05:26. > :05:29.cuts across the board, maybe up to 40 billion euros. We're going to
:05:29. > :05:33.see infrastructure spending slashed, possibly plan to privatise the
:05:33. > :05:36.railways. Spain has the biggest or most impressive network of high-
:05:36. > :05:41.speed rail in Europe, so it is sort of closely guarded by a lot of
:05:41. > :05:47.people here in Spain, and civil servants will have their wages
:05:47. > :05:51.frozen for a third year running, but Spain is in trouble not only,
:05:51. > :05:55.you know, under pressure from the markets and from its partners in
:05:55. > :05:58.the eurozone, but its general finances are poor. It's in a
:05:58. > :06:00.deepening recession. Of course it's got record levels of high
:06:00. > :06:03.unemployment, and those are contributing to a decrease in
:06:03. > :06:07.revenue for the Government. The Government is desperately trying to
:06:07. > :06:12.balance its budget because it needs to do so to convince its eurozone
:06:12. > :06:15.partners in the market, but that is ever harder because of the economic
:06:15. > :06:19.conditions that exist here in Spain, the record unemployment, the
:06:19. > :06:28.recession. Therefore, within that context we're going to see yet more
:06:28. > :06:38.forced austerity cuts later today. I want to stay with the crisis for
:06:38. > :07:03.
:07:03. > :07:08.Violent protests across Greece on Wednesday against the austerity
:07:08. > :07:13.programme already in place, in fact, and the demonstrations really part
:07:13. > :07:15.of the 24-hour general strike, and that was the first on that scale
:07:15. > :07:20.since the new Conservative coalition Government came to power
:07:20. > :07:25.in June. Let's put all of this together.
:07:25. > :07:29.Aaron is with me now having a look at the business. Spain is the focus
:07:29. > :07:32.today. The epicentre. If you've got the sort of pictures we have seen
:07:32. > :07:37.on the streets of Madrid and now talk about more belt tightening, it
:07:37. > :07:40.all goes one way, and that's just downhill for the Spaniards, isn't
:07:40. > :07:45.it? Absolutely. The draconian budget we're expecting - you say
:07:45. > :07:48.more belt tightening - it's going to be about a $50 million budget
:07:49. > :07:52.including the structural reforms but all eyes - if I was a market I
:07:52. > :07:55.wouldn't be able to talk to you because I would be holding my
:07:55. > :07:58.breath. That's what the markets are doing. They're watching very, very
:07:58. > :08:03.closely. But the markets are a funny old world because take a look
:08:03. > :08:11.at them. They're up. This is after yesterday. They had their biggest
:08:11. > :08:16.They're up on the hope this budget will nudge Madrid towards accepting
:08:16. > :08:19.a full rescue package. If it accepts a full rescue package, then
:08:19. > :08:24.it would go down the line of launching the European Central
:08:24. > :08:27.Bank's bond buying programme where they'd buy up the debt - the debt
:08:28. > :08:32.from these troubled economies in the hopes of bringing down the
:08:32. > :08:36.yield - the borrowing cost because Spain as of yesterday - Spain's
:08:36. > :08:40.borrowing costs surpassed that 6% level, again, getting into the
:08:40. > :08:44.danger zone, the levels where they become unsteabl sustainable. It is
:08:44. > :08:50.the markets - let's not can kid ourselves - that can drive these
:08:50. > :08:53.economies into having to ask for a bail-out. Let's listen to Jane
:08:53. > :08:58.Foley from Rabobank. She explained why this budget for Spain is so
:08:58. > :09:02.I think if you're a Spanish person, particularly one of the unemployed
:09:02. > :09:05.in Spain, it will certainly look very tough. Of course, one of the
:09:05. > :09:09.reasons this budget is expected to be tough is because the Government
:09:09. > :09:16.is expected to put in place measures that'll be acceptable to
:09:16. > :09:21.the IMF, to the ECB and theic toca if they were then to follow --
:09:21. > :09:25.Troika if they were to ask for a bail-out. Normally when a country
:09:25. > :09:32.asks for a bail-out, the Troika come back and say, yes, but you
:09:32. > :09:38.need to do this, this, and this. Spain need to present this budget
:09:38. > :09:46.as a fait accompli. Then they don't need to suffer if they ask for a
:09:46. > :09:49.bail-out as expected. Now one European industry that's
:09:49. > :09:52.been particularly hard hit by the eurozone crisis is the car industry.
:09:52. > :09:55.From today top bosses are getting together at the Paris Motor Show,
:09:55. > :09:58.the world's biggest. There'll be plenty of shiny new cars to look at
:09:58. > :10:00.- but behind the glitzy faade there's plenty to worry about.
:10:00. > :10:05.Europe is the worst performing market globally, China is slowing
:10:05. > :10:07.down, and automakers are responding by cutting costs and jobs.
:10:07. > :10:10.Germany's Daimler, the makers of Mercedes luxury cars, warned
:10:10. > :10:12.earlier this month its annual profit would be lower than expected,
:10:12. > :10:22.because of deteriorating market conditions in Europe and
:10:22. > :10:22.
:10:23. > :10:26.intensified competition in China. Speaking to me from the Motor Show
:10:27. > :10:30.was the Chief Executive Deeter Tsetche. China's forecasts are
:10:30. > :10:38.coming down, but the growth rate has diminished. We expect China to
:10:38. > :10:43.continue to grow perhaps at a somewhat lower level. This attracts
:10:43. > :10:46.all of us, including Mercedes. That's one of the reasons why we
:10:46. > :10:51.somewhat lowered our guidance for the remainder of the year. Talking
:10:51. > :10:54.of China and Asia in general - I know in China I was reading -
:10:54. > :10:58.correct me if I'm wrong, that Mercedes was lagging behind its
:10:58. > :11:02.competitors. That was more to do with production changeover or
:11:02. > :11:10.difficulties. Are you going to continue to increase exposure in
:11:10. > :11:15.China and Asia? We had five years of great developments in China. We
:11:15. > :11:20.were the latest to come among the premier manufacturers. We came up
:11:20. > :11:24.to the level of BMW. The last 12 plus months we lost a little bit of
:11:24. > :11:29.this strong momentum, and we're reestablishing part of it because
:11:29. > :11:33.of lack of production. We have other homemade issues which we're
:11:33. > :11:37.addressing. We're clearly on a plan of growth for the future. We were
:11:37. > :11:41.at capacity. We're at capacity in China, and we're definitely betting
:11:41. > :11:48.on further growth and success in China. It's also an interesting
:11:48. > :11:53.comparison when you look at the US car market crisis in America in
:11:53. > :11:56.2008. That crisis was sharp and dramatic where some are saying the
:11:57. > :12:03.European slump is proving to be a long-distance marathon. Where do
:12:03. > :12:08.you see the finish line? I mean, we in this industry since 125 years,
:12:08. > :12:11.and we intend to stay there another 125 years at least, so there is no
:12:11. > :12:15.finish line, but in this industry you never can lean back. You have
:12:15. > :12:19.to improve your efficiency. We have come up with exciting, great new
:12:19. > :12:23.products all the time. Of course, the viewerment always presents you
:12:23. > :12:28.sometimes with more tailwinds, sometimes more head winds.
:12:28. > :12:32.Altogether, the economy has become more volatile, so flexibility is
:12:32. > :12:38.the name of the game. We do believe we're very well positioned in this
:12:38. > :12:42.thing that generally the premium manufacturers have a better or a
:12:42. > :12:46.more supportive business model to succeed in the future than the
:12:46. > :12:50.volume manufacturers. There you go. There is the boss of Daimler trying
:12:50. > :12:55.to remain optimistic. I am going to talk to the boss of Nissan. There
:12:55. > :12:59.is a lot going on. Thank you very much indeed for all of that. Thanks
:12:59. > :13:03.for watching BBC World News. Still to come, we have the latest for you
:13:03. > :13:13.on the trial of a British woman in Bali. She faces execution if
:13:13. > :13:15.
:13:15. > :13:19.convicted of smuggling cocaine. It's not what you know. It's what
:13:19. > :13:21.you don't know that matters - at least when you are the leader of
:13:21. > :13:24.your country. That was the lesson Britain's Prime Minister, David
:13:24. > :13:27.Cameron, learned when he appeared on the hugely popular Late Show
:13:27. > :13:30.with David Letterman in New York. He was challenged on a number of
:13:30. > :13:33.key issues of British history and geography, but just when he seemed
:13:33. > :13:39.to be winning,.he blew it. Our deputy political editor James
:13:39. > :13:43.Landale has more. APPLAUSE
:13:43. > :13:47.There were no questions about Andrew Mitchell or Boris Johnson or
:13:47. > :13:51.the state of the coalition. Instead, when David Cameron appeared on the
:13:51. > :13:54.Late Show with David Letterman in New York last night, he found
:13:54. > :13:58.himself being closely interrogated about British history and culture.
:13:58. > :14:03.He revealed one or two gaps in his general knowledge.
:14:03. > :14:05.Do you mind if I ask you a lot of dumb American questions? Fire away.
:14:05. > :14:09.He was able to explain the differences between the nations of
:14:09. > :14:14.the UK, the size of the population, the extent of the British Empire
:14:14. > :14:19.and the date and place where Magna Carta was signed, but much to his
:14:19. > :14:24.embarrassment, Mr Cameron was unable to say what Magna Carta
:14:24. > :14:25.meant in English. The literal translation is what? Again, you're
:14:25. > :14:30.testing me - LAUGHTER
:14:30. > :14:34.Boy, it would be good if you knew this. It would. It's good for the
:14:34. > :14:38.American public to be able to see him. I don't think they know that
:14:38. > :14:43.much about him. I didn't have a view of him before this. I liked
:14:43. > :14:46.him. I thought he was a good guy. What the three million Americans
:14:47. > :14:52.watching made of it is not known. When David Cameron returns home
:14:52. > :15:01.later this week, he'll probably be hoping the border staff don't ask
:15:01. > :15:06.The huge earthquakes that struck off the coast of Sumatra back in
:15:06. > :15:11.April may signal the creation of a new tectonic plate boundary. This
:15:11. > :15:14.is according to scientists writing in the journal, Nature. They are
:15:14. > :15:18.suggesting major changes are taking place on the ocean floor which will
:15:18. > :15:21.eventually split the Indo- Australian played into two. It
:15:21. > :15:26.won't be happening soon, this kind of split can take a few million
:15:27. > :15:31.years. We can go back further than that now. Astronomers producing

:16:23. > :16:27.evasion find which he says is politically motivated. The artist
:16:27. > :16:37.is going to have to pay out $2.4 million, following the ruling by an
:16:37. > :16:39.
:16:39. > :16:43.Ai Weiwei says this was a case he never believed he could win. During
:16:43. > :16:47.the entire legal process, says the artist, he didn't see the evidence
:16:47. > :16:51.against him. After the final appeal he addressed journalists outside
:16:51. > :16:55.the court. TRANSLATION: People say, you knew
:16:55. > :16:59.the result of this from the beginning. That is true. The result
:16:59. > :17:03.today is not the result that should have been given. China should be
:17:03. > :17:08.changing every day but in truth, this is not happening. We are still
:17:08. > :17:14.living under a Watt and legal system. This system cannot possibly
:17:14. > :17:18.have impartiality or justice. Weiwei is China's most famous
:17:18. > :17:22.living artist, but he's also an outspoken critic of the ruling
:17:22. > :17:27.Communist Party. His high-profile case is carefully watched to see
:17:27. > :17:33.how China's leaders choose to deal with dissent. Last year, he was
:17:33. > :17:38.secretly detained for 81 days, sparking international condemnation.
:17:38. > :17:41.Following his release his firm was charged with tax evasion. He
:17:41. > :17:47.believes the charges were politically motivated, designed to
:17:47. > :17:51.silence him. At earlier hearings the authorities wouldn't allow him
:17:51. > :17:56.to attend proceedings so instead his wife attended on his behalf.
:17:56. > :18:01.But now he has lost his final appeal and will need to pay a
:18:01. > :18:05.massive fine. Ai Weiwei has labelled China's legal system as
:18:05. > :18:10.backward and barbaric. He says that he won't pay the outstanding tax

:18:18. > :18:21.put him on collision course with the authorities. The trial of a 56-
:18:21. > :18:25.year-old British woman accused of drug smuggling in Bali has been
:18:25. > :18:29.postponed. Lindsey Sandiford was in court today and told a judge she
:18:29. > :18:33.had yet to appoint a lawyer. Mrs Sandiford was arrested in May,
:18:33. > :18:37.charged with facilitating the sale of more than five grams of drugs.
:18:37. > :18:40.That is a crime punishable by death in Indonesia. Three other Britons
:18:40. > :18:48.living in Bali have also been arrested and are facing trial on
:18:48. > :18:53.similar charges. Lindsay Sandiford is thought to be at the very heart
:18:53. > :18:58.of this case. The 56-year-old housewife from Gloucestershire was
:18:58. > :19:02.arrested in May in Bali airport, after customs officials said they
:19:02. > :19:06.found 4.8 kilograms of cocaine stuffed into the lining of her
:19:06. > :19:10.suitcase. After her arrest she is understood to have participated in
:19:10. > :19:14.a sting operation which led to the subsequent arrest of three other
:19:14. > :19:18.British nationals living on the island of Bali, all of whom are
:19:18. > :19:23.facing drug-related charges. Covering her head with a bright red
:19:23. > :19:27.sarong and shielding her face from the glare of television cameras,
:19:27. > :19:30.Mrs Sandiford made her first court appearance this Thursday in Bali,
:19:30. > :19:34.but barely five minutes after the court session began she told judges
:19:34. > :19:39.that she has yet to appoint a lawyer. Now the trial has been
:19:39. > :19:42.postponed to next week. If she is found guilty of the charges that
:19:42. > :19:46.Indonesian prosecutors are hoping to find against her, she could face
:19:46. > :19:50.the death penalty. Indonesia has some of the toughest anti-drug laws
:19:50. > :19:58.in the world - the harshest punishment is the death penalty but
:19:58. > :20:02.it is infrequently applied to foreigners. Burma's President will
:20:02. > :20:05.address the United Nations later in the day. His speech coming as the
:20:05. > :20:09.United States has announced it is lifting its ban on the import of
:20:09. > :20:14.goods from Burma. The opposition party, led by Aung San Suu Kyi, has
:20:14. > :20:16.welcomed that lifting of the ban. The West relaxed its financial
:20:16. > :20:19.restrictions after the country held by-elections earlier in the year.
:20:19. > :20:25.This is how the US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, justified
:20:26. > :20:34.the move. The United States is taking the next step in normalising
:20:34. > :20:40.our commercial relationship. We hope this world provide more
:20:40. > :20:43.opportunities for the people to sell their goods into our market.
:20:44. > :20:48.Our correspondent has been talking to the Speaker of the Burmese
:20:48. > :20:51.Parliament. He was one of the top generals and the old regime. We
:20:51. > :20:58.began by asking about the state of relations between the government
:20:58. > :21:02.and the opposition parties there. TRANSLATION: I had good relations
:21:02. > :21:10.with Aung San Suu Kyi. What happened in the past is over, it's
:21:10. > :21:15.finished. I don't see any point dwelling on it. Because she also
:21:15. > :21:22.loves her country, her people, we have the same intentions. She was
:21:22. > :21:26.locked up for many years. The former ruler, who was very close to
:21:26. > :21:28.you, could barely speak her name. Doesn't it feel strange now to be
:21:28. > :21:33.working so closely with somebody who was once viewed by the
:21:33. > :21:36.government you were in as an enemy? TRANSLATION: It is not strange for
:21:36. > :21:41.me. I believe this is something we need to deal with the present
:21:41. > :21:45.situation. That is why I'm collaborating with her very closely.
:21:45. > :21:49.Though Aung San Suu Kyi is not my enemy, and I'm sure I am not her
:21:49. > :21:55.enemy, too, we have the same ambition, and that is to serve the
:21:56. > :22:02.interests of our nation and people. We are colleagues. You were a
:22:02. > :22:07.senior figure in the old regime. Why did it take so long for change
:22:07. > :22:17.to start and why was the old system so harsh towards its opponents, so
:22:17. > :22:21.repressive? Yes, it has taken some time to change our country, but it
:22:21. > :22:26.was like that because of the prevailing situation at that time.
:22:26. > :22:30.I believe the problem of the armed groups was an important factor.
:22:30. > :22:36.Although the government wanted to establish a multi-party system and
:22:36. > :22:41.a market economy, due to the situation then it was not possible.
:22:41. > :22:44.We've got a new record for you. The UK land speed record which has just
:22:44. > :22:48.been set as the world's first electric supercar broke the
:22:48. > :22:52.existing market the track and the North of England. This is the scene.
:22:52. > :22:58.This is an airfield near York when Nemesis, that is the name of the
:22:58. > :23:03.car, is thought to have reached almost 150 mph. Our correspondent
:23:03. > :23:08.is there. He spoke to the driver straight after the record attempt.
:23:08. > :23:11.Nick Ponting here, who used so was the driver of Nemesis. He's been
:23:11. > :23:15.waiting all morning patiently because we were waiting for some
:23:15. > :23:19.safety staff to arrive. How was that? Brilliant. The car felt
:23:19. > :23:23.really good. We are going to wait to see the calculations but I feel
:23:23. > :23:27.fairly confident. Hopefully we've done it. I don't know whether you
:23:27. > :23:33.are happy to give the game away, but what sort of speeds do you
:23:33. > :23:39.think you got? A in the car it was 153. As long as the calculations
:23:39. > :23:42.Stack, we've done it. I'm looking across, I'm not sure if they are
:23:42. > :23:46.quite right yet. We talked to you earlier about the difference
:23:46. > :23:51.between driving an electric car and the type of racing cars you
:23:51. > :23:54.normally drive. You don't get the role of the engine, of course. To
:23:54. > :24:00.you, as the driver, how different is it and why does it feel
:24:00. > :24:07.different? The acceleration is phenomenal. The quicker it goes,
:24:07. > :24:11.the quicker it accelerates. It is fantastic. From 100-150, it feels
:24:11. > :24:18.you are accelerating the same as from nought to 60. The car felt
:24:18. > :24:24.brilliant, the most stable it's felt. It was exciting to watch.
:24:24. > :24:30.Let's hope that the congratulations. They've done it, have they? Yes,
:24:30. > :24:40.they've done it. Congratulations, you've broken the record. That is
:24:40. > :24:51.
:24:51. > :25:01.the UK electric car record. 148.490 mph. -- 148.4 mph. Are you going to
:25:01. > :25:05.have another go? Why not? Beat the old record by 11 mph. Not quite
:25:05. > :25:09.Formula One but an awful lot quieter. In Austria, the hills are
:25:09. > :25:13.alive with the the sound of people learning to yodel. Hiking trail
:25:13. > :25:20.with audio recordings and yodelling signs has recently opened in the
:25:20. > :25:24.west of the country. If you've always secretly wanted to yodel but
:25:24. > :25:32.were too embarrassed to really let loose, try a hike in the Austrian
:25:32. > :25:37.Alps. A new trail into roll offers tips and lessons, 2000 metres above
:25:37. > :25:41.sea level. TRANSLATION: You can do it on your
:25:41. > :25:44.own, in pairs or in a group. On top of that, you can enjoy EA hike
:25:44. > :25:50.against this incredible backdrop. With this beautiful view. I
:25:50. > :25:56.personally always find it easier to your door, let out these cries of
:25:56. > :26:00.joy when I am up on the mountain. Dotted along the trail are signs
:26:00. > :26:08.and post with audio recordings of yodelling. You press the button and
:26:08. > :26:12.sing along. TRANSLATION: It's liberating, it
:26:12. > :26:21.opens us all. It's great, just great. It does the heart and the
:26:21. > :26:30.soul the world of good. Yodelling was originally used by shepherds
:26:31. > :26:39.calling from peak to peak. These days it is undergoing something of
:26:39. > :26:44.a revival. And where better to practise than high in the hills! It
:26:44. > :26:52.will either draw you in or send you fleeing. Before we go, one last
:26:52. > :26:54.picture we have to show you. These pandas in China. What you can't see
