:03:12. > :03:19.American embassy in the Yemen capital, Sana'a. We will get what
:03:19. > :03:22.we can on that now. As far as the details go, what has happened?
:03:23. > :03:29.we understand is that masked gunmen on a motorbike appeared to have
:03:29. > :03:32.opened fire and then fled on a car carrying this Yemeni chief of
:03:32. > :03:36.security at the embassy and killed him. It very much looks like a
:03:36. > :03:39.target in killing on this individual. He was in his 50s, had
:03:39. > :03:42.been working at the embassy for about 20 years. He is likely to
:03:42. > :03:46.have been quite well known and therefore might well have been
:03:46. > :03:51.picked out by militants. So not actually outside the embassy or
:03:51. > :03:54.involved with in the compound. I make that point because with coming
:03:54. > :03:59.off the back of the sustained attacks on various American
:03:59. > :04:03.premises over the course of the last few weeks. That's right.
:04:03. > :04:07.Particularly the attack on Benghazi on the September 11th anniversary

:04:20. > :04:24.attacks on the US embassy in sat nav. People stormed that embassy.
:04:24. > :04:29.That did look very different what happened in Benghazi, though. But
:04:29. > :04:32.this killing looks much more in the model of what Al-Qaeda in the
:04:32. > :04:36.Arabian peninsula have been doing recently, which is carrying out the
:04:36. > :04:39.assassination attempts and high- profile attacks, particularly in
:04:39. > :04:43.the capital and against officials. That is very interesting inasmuch
:04:43. > :04:47.as there are plenty of observers who have gone close to writing off
:04:47. > :04:50.Al-Qaeda in the Arab peninsula with the Yemen in the course of the last
:04:50. > :04:54.few months. They've had some setbacks because I think the
:04:54. > :04:59.government has been pushing hard with some American support in the
:04:59. > :05:02.background to try and knock them down, with quite big military
:05:02. > :05:06.engagements, trying to push them out of towns where they are taking
:05:06. > :05:12.control. But they have been responding that these very high-
:05:12. > :05:14.profile attacks, particularly in the capital. Trying to assassinate
:05:14. > :05:22.the Defence Minister and attacks like this. They are definitely not
:05:22. > :05:27.out of action. And they are catching attention. To a rather
:05:27. > :05:30.different story, but as a cyclist, Lance Armstrong could be described
:05:31. > :05:34.as the most sophisticated professional and successful racer
:05:34. > :05:38.of all time. But that very phrase is now the one being used to
:05:38. > :05:42.characterise the extent to which he cheated, according to the USA anti-
:05:42. > :05:46.doping agency. It has published its report. It concludes that Armstrong,
:05:46. > :05:50.his seven time one of the Tour de France, was involved in a highly
:05:50. > :05:55.elaborate doping programme, something he has long denied but is
:05:55. > :06:00.no longer contesting. You can read the report - that you can't read
:06:00. > :06:05.the report and not be utterly convinced of Armstrong's Guild. The
:06:05. > :06:09.conspiracy of doping within his team. However, Armstrong seems to
:06:09. > :06:15.be as defiant as ever. I don't see any signs of any kind of admission
:06:16. > :06:21.from him at any point. Is this going to end in an entirely
:06:21. > :06:25.unsatisfactory situation for everyone who wants a sense that
:06:25. > :06:29.justice has been done one way or the other because Lance Armstrong
:06:29. > :06:34.World contest? We've still got his lawyer saying, this is just a
:06:34. > :06:39.hatchet job on Armstrong. Yes, it's difficult. It's a complicated
:06:39. > :06:43.situation when there is no positive drugs test, no smoking gun. That's
:06:43. > :06:48.the one thing that he would struggle to contest. Although other
:06:49. > :06:53.athletes before him have contested positive tests. I'm sure he will go
:06:53. > :06:59.on being defiant. His lawyers will continue to fight his corner. But I
:06:59. > :07:02.think that if the UCI, Cycling's world governing body, essentially
:07:02. > :07:09.rubber-stamp these findings and confirm he will be stripped of his
:07:09. > :07:13.seven titles, I'm sure an effect will be raised from the last decade
:07:13. > :07:19.of cycling. Although he can claim to be a seven-times winner, the
:07:19. > :07:27.records will say otherwise. A That Was Richard Moore, a former cyclist
:07:27. > :07:33.There is probably no better or worse place to start than Spain.
:07:33. > :07:39.Another notch on the bedpost for a ratings agency. Absolutely. This is
:07:39. > :07:43.the pressure. It is mounting on Madrid. Standard and Poor's, the US
:07:43. > :07:49.credit rating agency, late last night downgraded Spain's credit
:07:49. > :07:54.rating by two Rogers. Where does that leave Spain, it leaves it on
:07:54. > :08:01.because of junk status. That means inevitably it will make the
:08:01. > :08:06.servicing of Spain's huge debt much more expensive. Spain needs to
:08:06. > :08:10.borrow $260 billion from the international money market. That's
:08:10. > :08:14.a tough task with the credit rating that is just above junk status. On
:08:14. > :08:19.top of that, you've got a wok and a hard place and Spain is right in
:08:19. > :08:22.the middle. That's because Standard and Poor's downgraded Spain, saying
:08:22. > :08:26.it was visited far as Spain is being so hesitant to put its hand
:08:26. > :08:30.and ask for a bail-out. On the other hand, you've got Moody's, the
:08:30. > :08:34.other big credit rating agency, has said, if Spain as for a bail-out,
:08:34. > :08:39.we are also going to downgrade you. It's a tough position to bien. The
:08:39. > :08:44.question I put to our man on the ground in Madrid. Also won this
:08:44. > :08:49.report is S&P's points to some of the political problems here. It
:08:49. > :08:53.talks about the regional problems with the central government. That
:08:53. > :08:58.is an indication about Catalonia, the problems of in that North-East
:08:58. > :09:01.region of Spain, where Barcelona is the capital. Essentially that
:09:01. > :09:04.region have said, we are not getting enough money from the
:09:05. > :09:08.central government, we are going to call early elections for late in
:09:08. > :09:11.November. If the ruling party their wins those elections, they will
:09:11. > :09:15.hold a referendum on independence. We are a long way from independence
:09:15. > :09:20.but it's still adding to the political uncertainty, which has
:09:20. > :09:24.only fuelling the economic crisis. We will keep our eyes on that story.
:09:24. > :09:28.The oil giant Shell is in court in The Hague today, facing a lawsuit
:09:28. > :09:32.over three oil spills in Nigeria's Niger Delta or. It's been brought

:09:57. > :10:01.Gulf of Mexico. A lot of environmentalists have complained
:10:01. > :10:05.that this scenario, what you have in the Niger Delta, is nothing
:10:05. > :10:10.close to, it's a lot larger than what you have to the US Gulf, it
:10:10. > :10:14.has received as much attention as that in the US did. A lot of these
:10:14. > :10:17.people of fishermen and farmers. They've not been able to carry
:10:17. > :10:21.out... To continue with their livelihoods because the water is
:10:21. > :10:24.polluted and the soil is polluted as well. And there is the
:10:24. > :10:28.environmental hazard because these people also get their drinking
:10:28. > :10:32.water from there. They really can't do anything. Is there a sense on
:10:32. > :10:36.the ground that companies like Shell, and this is not my words,
:10:36. > :10:39.these are words in many reports, basically have double-standards?
:10:40. > :10:47.Compared to the oil spills in Nigeria, compared to any spillage
:10:47. > :10:52.in Europe or America. A lot of people complaining that these
:10:52. > :10:56.companies are able to get away with so much, to be able to make some
:10:56. > :10:59.much money from this place and yet not be able to clean up the mess
:10:59. > :11:05.that they leave. Some of the Niger Delta people are among the poorest
:11:05. > :11:08.people you find in this country, yet there is so much money being
:11:08. > :11:11.made right from their backyards. This is what a lot of
:11:11. > :11:16.environmentalists as well as a lot of these people themselves are
:11:16. > :11:18.complaining about. They are also saying that Shell and a lot of
:11:18. > :11:21.these other companies have a huge influence on the Nigerian
:11:21. > :11:27.government. So the government is not able to put pressure on them to
:11:28. > :11:34.clean up. He was explaining the situation on the ground in terms of
:11:34. > :11:38.the oil spill. An energy analyst at eco Bank explained to me what kind
:11:38. > :11:44.of damage this could do to shell. Let's not forget, Shell has
:11:44. > :11:48.actually faced a series of lawsuits in Nigeria. We don't often hear
:11:48. > :11:52.about them because many of them are minor cases. This is quite
:11:52. > :11:57.significant. There's the whole issue of corporate and social
:11:57. > :12:04.responsibility. Shell currently contributes a high percentage of
:12:04. > :12:09.oil from that area. This is coming on the back of a find this year by
:12:09. > :12:12.Nigerian regulators to the tune of 5 billion against Shell for
:12:12. > :12:16.environmental pollution. It is a theme which we have seen time and
:12:16. > :12:21.time again. There are other operators in Nigeria, so I guess
:12:21. > :12:25.the question here is - could this set a precedent where we could
:12:25. > :12:32.possibly see other lawsuits against other oil producers down there?
:12:32. > :12:35.Certainly. It's always a matter of scale. The big five companies, they
:12:35. > :12:39.all operate in Nigeria to one extent or another. There's also an
:12:39. > :12:43.issue on the Nigerian side about enforcement of environmental
:12:43. > :12:46.regulations and the stringency of some of these regulations. That is
:12:46. > :12:52.obviously a governance problem that needs to be resolved. But Shell
:12:52. > :12:55.will argue that all will theft, known locally as a oil bunkering,
:12:55. > :13:00.is a major contributor to many of these oil spills, as is sabotage
:13:00. > :13:04.and other forms of illegal activity around oil infrastructure. But it
:13:04. > :13:11.is a major PR headache for Shell. I'm glad you mentioned that about
:13:11. > :13:15.what Shell says, but what is the sense in terms of people like you
:13:15. > :13:19.in the industry? In terms of the sabotage, do they have a point?
:13:19. > :13:23.They can't control the sabotage to pipelines. Part of the problem is
:13:23. > :13:27.the data around oil spills is highly contentious and
:13:27. > :13:32.controversial. Whilst companies like Shell, they report leaks from
:13:32. > :13:36.pipelines, what Bill's report often don't capture is this illegal trade
:13:36. > :13:40.in crude oil which is on a small- scale and sometimes very lucrative
:13:41. > :13:45.if oil is stolen directly from oil wells and sold on international
:13:45. > :13:51.global markets. That could estimate for -- account for almost 25 % of
:13:51. > :13:55.daily production in Nigeria. The real issue is, how do you separate
:13:55. > :14:00.bat-pad of illegal activity that caused his bills and pollution from
:14:00. > :14:04.technical law or neglect on the part of some of these companies? It
:14:04. > :14:12.is an issue of research and data traffic. It is extremely difficult
:14:12. > :14:18.in an environment like Nigeria. Briefly, your sense of what will
:14:18. > :14:23.happen in this case - Wilshere will lose? In this case I suspect, there
:14:23. > :14:27.are many lawsuits running simultaneously, but this is a very
:14:27. > :14:30.big case to try and prove the oil spills have directly been caused by
:14:30. > :14:35.Shell over the course of a decade or so. I think it will drag on.
:14:35. > :14:39.There will be some sort of perhaps compensation that Shell would need
:14:39. > :14:43.to pay eventually, but whether it's a despise the full extent of the

:21:31. > :21:36.I think it would be quite important because it would be like this was,
:21:36. > :21:39.it would be emotional but nice because it would be paying your
:21:39. > :21:43.respects. It really catches your attention and gets you to think
:21:43. > :21:46.about what people were really fighting about and if it was all
:21:46. > :21:51.worth it. After the Great War, Ypres promised
:21:51. > :21:55.to honour the great allies who fought and fell on Belgian soil,

:22:06. > :22:12.wartime history have always touched and inspired us.
:22:12. > :22:15.So, the names on these memorials and the cemeteries are knew
:22:15. > :22:18.relevant to far more people, possibly through the Internet and
:22:19. > :22:23.schools, as we have been seeing in the report. One final fact - a poll
:22:23. > :22:27.released in Britain today suggests that a sizeable majority of people
:22:27. > :22:29.want Remembrance Sunday, 11th November, in 2014, to be a special
:22:29. > :22:33.day, perhaps with church bells ringing, perhaps with sport
:22:33. > :22:37.cancelled for the day, so that people are automobile to focus on a
:22:37. > :22:45.day of remembrance. That, no doubt, will be a consideration right
:22:45. > :22:48.across Europe. We are staying in Belgium. It's
:22:48. > :22:52.been looted in three different wars, not the country, the object I'm
:22:52. > :22:57.about to tell you about. Held for ransom, sold illegally and part of
:22:57. > :23:01.it is still missing. One of the o world's most stolen paintings is
:23:01. > :23:06.now being restored at a museum in Belgium.
:23:06. > :23:10.Getting a glimpse of the past. These art experts are the eyes
:23:10. > :23:14.behind the restoration. It's a painstaking process. There are more
:23:15. > :23:18.than 20 of these panels and they all need to be checked for damage.
:23:18. > :23:23.Layers of yellow varnish that have made the painting appear darker
:23:23. > :23:28.will be removed before the work underneath gets a retouch.
:23:28. > :23:35.Visitors to the fine art museum here can watch the entire project.
:23:35. > :23:41.It's very open, so the windows are very big. The problem with it is
:23:41. > :23:45.that people want to come very close into the lab, but we are already
:23:45. > :23:52.being very generous by having it so widely available and open. This is
:23:52. > :23:57.Gent that deed thal, the building the altar piece was commissioned
:23:57. > :24:02.for more than 60 years ago -- Gent cathedral. Once the restoration's
:24:02. > :24:07.complete, this is where it will come back to, its original home.
:24:07. > :24:11.Here, you can see a section that's already been cleaned. Look at the
:24:11. > :24:18.brighter area on the right and this part of the altar piece is one of
:24:18. > :24:22.the most famous. It's a replica of a panel called the Just Judges,
:24:22. > :24:28.which was stolen in 1934 and never returned.
:24:28. > :24:31.It has really been a point of interest since then - where is that
:24:31. > :24:35.missing panel? People still look for it and I'm sorry, I don't have
:24:35. > :24:41.a particular theory about that, the only thing I can say is, yes,
:24:41. > :24:46.people will keep looking for it and will not give up.
:24:46. > :24:51.Some argue that the paintings and their controversial histories, is
:24:51. > :24:54.already enough to keep drawing the crowds, without any expensive make-
:24:54. > :24:59.overs. The restoration will cost close to $2 million and is expected
:24:59. > :25:06.to take five years, but the people behind the project insist it will
:25:06. > :25:11.be worth the wait. Remember Dolly the Sheep, the first
:25:11. > :25:18.to be cloned. The man who led that project in the 1990s, Professor
:25:18. > :25:22.Keith Campbell, has died. Dolly was born in 1996 in Scotland. Professor
:25:22. > :25:28.Campbell moved to the University of Nottingham then where he was
:25:28. > :25:32.Professor of Animal development. It took a bit of encouragement, but
:25:33. > :25:38.after living his first two years in a nature reserve, a giant panda has
:25:38. > :25:43.been released into the wild in China. The male panda had to be
:25:43. > :25:49.nudged out of his cage, poor chap, but tentative at first, he soon
:25:49. > :25:53.wandered off into a bamboo forest, hopefully to a happy life.
:25:53. > :25:58.And on a theme for you, American scientists say mice may be able to
:25:58. > :26:01.learn to sing in harmony in a way which is similar to humans and some
:26:01. > :26:05.birds. Researchers say that when a group
:26:05. > :26:10.of male mice are kept together in the presence of a female, they
:26:10. > :26:16.match the pitch of their songs. I should say, I've heard a bit of it,
:26:16. > :26:23.it's more of a whistle, but it's really there. Extraordinary stuff.
:26:23. > :26:28.A reminder of the main story: Russian is now demanding
:26:28. > :26:34.explanations from Turkey as to why a military Turkish jet forced a
:26:34. > :26:38.passenger plane carrying 17 Russians to land at Ankara - we
:26:38. > :26:41.understand from the Turkish Foreign Minister that's what been described
:26:41. > :26:47.as an objectionable cargo has been removed - although the plane itself
:26:47. > :26:52.has been allowed to continue on its way to Damascus. Syria also
