:02:04. > :02:08.her life thus far, that further, prolonged medical care was needed

:03:02. > :03:08.held across the country. At the weekend, thousands attended a rally
:03:08. > :03:12.in Karachi in support of Malala. There are news reports about her

:03:15. > :03:22.well-being, and that of the two other girls who were injured in the
:03:22. > :03:28.attack. But certainly, it has united people in their revulsion

:03:40. > :03:45.but certainly, people have been out rage, and they want the people who

:04:02. > :04:07.details about the specifics of her case. All we have been told is that
:04:07. > :04:13.she has been unconscious, she has been sedated. We have been given
:04:13. > :04:17.varying reports, but that she had been on a ventilator. They said at
:04:17. > :04:21.the weekend they tried to take her off the ventilator for a while, but
:04:21. > :04:25.she was put back on it. Presumably that was to prepare her for this

:06:06. > :06:10.more medical supplies. They need blankets and tents for the camp on
:06:10. > :06:17.the Turkish border. Meanwhile, our correspondent is at another camp,
:06:17. > :06:25.also on that border. There is one figure which has come to us today,
:06:25. > :06:31.suggesting Turkey now has more than 100,000 Syrian refugees. There are
:06:31. > :06:35.around 12-14 official camps, but we have met plenty of Syrian refugees
:06:35. > :06:38.who prefer not to live in these camps. One young man I spoke to
:06:38. > :06:42.said he was worried about the kind of surveillance which might be
:06:42. > :06:47.imposed on his family, so he chose to live elsewhere. Turkey stresses
:06:47. > :06:52.that it is offering humane conditions for refugees. The United
:06:52. > :06:55.Nations said that more than 340,000 Syrians have fled their homes, and
:06:55. > :07:00.they are worried about what will happen when it comes to winter. At
:07:00. > :07:10.the moment, it is hot here. When it gets to December and January, it
:07:10. > :07:11.
:07:11. > :07:15.will be cold. The Turkish authorities are searching an
:07:15. > :07:20.Armenian cargo plane which is bound for the Syrian city of Aleppo. The
:07:20. > :07:25.Turkish government says it did grant the plane permission to carry
:07:25. > :07:31.aid, flying over its airspace, but only on the condition that it would
:07:31. > :07:35.be able to search its cargo. So it has landed and will continue its
:07:35. > :07:39.journey on to Aleppo if nothing else is found. Last week, Turkey

:07:56. > :08:01.Let's stock with Portugal, where the new budget comes out today. And
:08:01. > :08:04.it is going to be pretty painful. It is going to be very painful,
:08:04. > :08:08.probably some of the harshest measures we have seen coming from
:08:08. > :08:13.the Portuguese government. It is the 2013 budget which they will be
:08:13. > :08:17.announcing today. They will have to find further cuts of something like
:08:17. > :08:23.5 billion euros. Tax increases, that's what we keep hearing. In
:08:23. > :08:29.fact, the Finance Minister has described the tax increases as
:08:29. > :08:37.enormous. On top of that, probably, Morse and big cuts and pension cuts,
:08:37. > :08:47.so, very tough for the economy. -- more spending cuts. The economy is
:08:47. > :08:47.
:08:47. > :08:55.in a very deep recession. I imagine this announcement will be met with
:08:55. > :08:59.further anger on the streets. The tax increases, they are introducing
:08:59. > :09:05.sharp income tax cuts, which could amount to two or three months of
:09:05. > :09:08.wages for middle-income workers. It is a staggering figure. We can go
:09:09. > :09:14.to Lisbon, and speak to our correspondent. Before we took about
:09:14. > :09:19.the budget, a new paint a picture of the human side to all of this,
:09:19. > :09:24.the human cost? We have heard or of the sad stories from Spain and
:09:24. > :09:29.Greece - how tough is it at the moment for workers in Portugal?
:09:29. > :09:34.course, the big headline number is always an employment, which is at
:09:34. > :09:41.record levels. We heard a couple of days ago that the number of people
:09:41. > :09:44.out of work, registered in September, was 681,000, in a
:09:44. > :09:49.country with a population of 10 million. And those of the people
:09:49. > :09:54.who are registered. Many others are not even registered. Unemployment
:09:54. > :09:58.benefit only lasts for 18 months here. So, a lot of people are not
:09:58. > :10:03.getting anything at all. And then we have got those tax increases
:10:03. > :10:06.which you mentioned. Vat has already gone up to 23%. Many goods
:10:06. > :10:12.which were on the lowest rate are going up to the highest rate. And
:10:12. > :10:16.then we have got these enormous tax increases, as described by the
:10:16. > :10:21.Finance Minister. The Cabinet is meeting at this very minute in what
:10:22. > :10:27.is a last ditch attempt to finalise the budget. Obviously, tough
:10:27. > :10:32.measures like this will be met with, I guess, a tough response on the
:10:32. > :10:37.streets. But in terms of the political arena, we're hearing
:10:37. > :10:44.reports that they are not agreeing at the moment - could this spell an
:10:44. > :10:49.end to the current government? is unlikely. I think both of the
:10:49. > :10:54.parties would see it as suicidal to throw in the towel at this point.
:10:54. > :10:58.They do have a majority, a comfortable majority, in Parliament.
:10:58. > :11:01.But there are clearly tensions within the coalition, we know that.
:11:01. > :11:06.The smaller party, the peoples Party, had already said that it
:11:06. > :11:11.wanted no more tax increases, it wanted the emphasis to be on
:11:11. > :11:15.spending cuts. So, when the finance at -- Finance Minister came out
:11:16. > :11:25.with that phrase, enormous tax increases, it was seen as a blow
:11:26. > :11:26.
:11:26. > :11:35.for them. It does seem that it has not yet been resolved, there are
:11:35. > :11:39.still talking about it. Thank you very much. Moving on, the price of
:11:39. > :11:43.ordinary goods is rising at a more modest pace in China. Believe it or
:11:43. > :11:50.not, that's good news - we are talking about the latest inflation
:11:50. > :11:54.numbers. Price rises slowed to 1.9% in September. The price of raw
:11:55. > :11:58.materials for manufacturers also fell. What does all of this mean?
:11:58. > :12:03.It could free the central bank in Beijing to pump more money into the
:12:03. > :12:09.economy, or to cut the cost of borrowing, without pushing prices
:12:09. > :12:12.up beyond the reach of ordinary Chinese households. An associate
:12:12. > :12:18.professor from a school of economics in China says today's
:12:18. > :12:23.economic numbers show a mixed picture. The good news is that
:12:23. > :12:30.we're not seeing the increase in food prices which we had feared
:12:30. > :12:36.from the US drought. But this might not follow-through into monetary
:12:36. > :12:40.policy. Just yesterday we had the Governor of the central bank in
:12:40. > :12:46.China saying that he was still concerned about inflation, which
:12:46. > :12:49.remained an issue for him. Even more importantly, China's central
:12:49. > :12:57.bank has been dumping a great deal of money during the summer into the
:12:57. > :13:04.banking system. Let's touch on some of the other business news. This
:13:04. > :13:08.Japanese mobile-phone company is to spend $20 billion to buy a 70% of a
:13:08. > :13:17.US telephone operator. It will be the biggest overseas acquisition by
:13:17. > :13:23.a Japanese firm. It will make it one of the world's biggest free
:13:23. > :13:28.mobile phone operators. The Governor of the central bank has
:13:29. > :13:35.said he is likely to revise down forecasts for economic growth in

:13:45. > :13:49.
:13:49. > :13:52.municipal workers and others, such as bus drivers. The maker of the

:14:32. > :14:36.in Cambodia, in tribute to the country's former king, who has died,
:14:36. > :14:40.aged 89. His body is being flown back from Beijing, where he
:14:40. > :14:46.suffered from heart attack. He was a controversial figure, for his
:14:46. > :14:53.alliance with the Khmer Rouge. He was the man who Would Be King, and
:14:53. > :14:58.much else besides. He was also a musician, film-maker, exile and
:14:58. > :15:01.resistance leader. The king was placed on the throne in 1941 by the
:15:01. > :15:06.French colonial administration. They thought he would be a
:15:06. > :15:13.malleable young man. Instead, he led Cambodia to independence, and
:15:13. > :15:16.on to what many people still few as the country's golden age. The king
:15:16. > :15:22.abdicated and became Prime Minister. Cambodia bloomed briefly as an icon
:15:22. > :15:26.of neutrality, as the 1960s tower and turbulent. But his style was
:15:26. > :15:30.paternalistic, rather than democratic, and he made too many
:15:30. > :15:34.enemies. A military coup removed him from power in 1970, setting the
:15:34. > :15:42.stage for the darkest years in the country's history. He had
:15:42. > :15:46.previously forced Cambodian Communists into internal exile. Now,
:15:46. > :15:50.in lent support to the Khmer Rouge, as they fought to remove the
:15:50. > :15:58.military regime from power. It gave the movement the legitimacy it
:15:58. > :16:02.needed. He became head of state, but as Pol Pot's government began
:16:02. > :16:07.massacring Cambodians, the former king found himself a prisoner in
:16:07. > :16:12.his own palace. Barely credibly, he once again joined forces with the
:16:12. > :16:17.Khmer Rouge in the 1980s, as civil war raged. Britain was among the
:16:17. > :16:23.powers which supported the alliance, but after a peace deal in 1991, he
:16:23. > :16:27.finally severed his ties with Pol Pot. A return to the throne soon
:16:27. > :16:32.followed, and the royalist party won the Greatest Show of the votes
:16:32. > :16:36.in Cambodia's first truly free election. But they failed to
:16:36. > :16:41.capitalise on that victory, and his power gradually waned. He left the
:16:41. > :16:45.stage on his own terms, abdicating in 2004, to make sure that his son
:16:45. > :16:51.would succeed him on the throne. In the following years, he spent more
:16:51. > :17:01.time in China. It was a subdued final act for one of Asia's most
