:01:28. > :01:30.supported education for girls. Malala Yousafzai has spent a
:01:30. > :01:35.comfortable first night in a British hospital, and doctors have
:01:35. > :01:41.said today that her condition is stable. The 14-year-old had a
:01:41. > :01:48.bullet removed from her skull, and her medical team of specialists say
:01:48. > :01:53.that she has every chance of making a good recovery. Malala's Doctor
:01:54. > :01:58.has just given this statement on her condition. I can tell you that
:01:58. > :02:01.Malala has had a comfortable night. Her initial assessments have been
:02:01. > :02:06.undertaken by the neurosurgical and other members of staff. We have
:02:06. > :02:10.still got some detailed assessments to undertake from various
:02:10. > :02:14.specialist teams who may be involved later on down the line,
:02:14. > :02:17.but we are very pleased with the progress she has made so far. She
:02:17. > :02:21.is showing every sign of being every bit as strong as we have been
:02:21. > :02:26.led to believe that she is. There were a lot of questions yesterday
:02:26. > :02:29.about security. I can tell you that we have had some irritating
:02:29. > :02:34.incidents overnight, and I understand a number of people have
:02:34. > :02:40.been arrested, but there are no security concerns. I am happy to
:02:40. > :02:47.take any questions. Can you say more about those incidents
:02:47. > :02:51.overnight? Clearly, it is a police issue, but I understand that a
:02:51. > :03:01.number of people turned up claiming to be members of Malala's family,
:03:01. > :03:02.
:03:02. > :03:06.which we do not believe to be true, and they have been arrested. We do
:03:06. > :03:10.not believe there is any threat to her personal security, we think it
:03:10. > :03:16.is probably people being over curious. How close did they get?
:03:16. > :03:19.They did not get very far. Did they get inside the hospital?
:03:19. > :03:23.Security is well under control, we are very comfortable with the
:03:23. > :03:27.security measures, but I am not going to talk about them. I am not
:03:27. > :03:34.going to discuss any details of the security, just to say that we and
:03:34. > :03:38.the West Midlands Police are comfortable with the security.
:03:38. > :03:43.the security only in the hands of the police? No. Who else is
:03:43. > :03:52.involved? Am not going to discuss any details of the security. We had
:03:52. > :03:59.more than one incident, that is all I am able to say. Tell us about the
:03:59. > :04:05.detailed assessments... From what is already in the public domain, it
:04:05. > :04:09.is obvious that Malala will need reconstructive surgery, and we have
:04:09. > :04:14.international experts in that field. So, beginning to plan for Rican
:04:14. > :04:19.structure if surgery, that is as much detail as I can give you. --
:04:19. > :04:28.for reconstructive surgery. Did the bullet penetrate her brain?
:04:28. > :04:36.really should not give that level of detail. I am not willing to
:04:36. > :04:40.getting to that level of detail, I have to respect her privacy. No,
:04:40. > :04:44.her family did not travel with her. The obvious next question is, are
:04:44. > :04:47.they coming and when are they coming? I understand they will be,
:04:47. > :04:52.but I do not know when. That is being dealt with by the Pakistani
:04:52. > :05:02.high Commissioner. Will that be all the family? That is being dealt
:05:02. > :05:05.
:05:05. > :05:09.with by the high Commissioner. It is difficult to go into some of
:05:09. > :05:14.these questions without going into too much detail, I'm afraid. I have
:05:14. > :05:18.not seen her myself, because we are trying very hard to deal with this
:05:18. > :05:22.like a normal patient, because we know that this is how people get
:05:22. > :05:27.the best results. I have spoken to the consultant co-ordinating
:05:27. > :05:31.haircare today, and really, that is pretty much a quote from him, that
:05:31. > :05:38.he is impressed by her resilience and strength. Is she still under
:05:38. > :05:42.heavy sedation? I am not getting into that detail. How many
:05:42. > :05:50.specialists are there in the team? I can count six off the top of my
:05:50. > :05:54.head. Neurosurgery, radiology, intensive care, and has the easier,
:05:54. > :05:57.paediatric specialists helping us from the Children's Hospital. I am
:05:57. > :06:06.not actually involved in her clinical care. There could well be
:06:06. > :06:11.more people than that involved. incidents last night, do you put it
:06:11. > :06:21.down to over-enthusiasm, rather than bad intention? That's the best
:06:21. > :06:29.I can conclude from what I have heard from the police. People will
:06:29. > :06:33.want to know, will she make a full recovery? As I said yesterday, the
:06:33. > :06:37.people who are looking at her in Pakistan obviously felt strongly
:06:37. > :06:41.that she had the potential for a good recovery, otherwise they would
:06:41. > :06:44.not have put her and everybody else through this traumatic period. From
:06:44. > :06:48.what I understand today, there is no reason to doubt that that is the
:06:48. > :06:52.case, she does have the potential to make a good recovery. Obviously,
:06:52. > :06:56.there is a long way to go, and she is not out of the woods yet. There
:06:56. > :07:06.is plenty that could go wrong, but we are optimistic that things are
:07:06. > :07:08.
:07:08. > :07:11.going in the right direction. INAUDIBLE I have not asked them
:07:11. > :07:18.that question. I know it they would not be able to
:07:18. > :07:28.answer it anyway. I cannot tell you any more about that question, I'm
:07:28. > :07:29.
:07:29. > :07:33.afraid. I do not know, I simply do not know. Was it your own security
:07:33. > :07:36.staff? I am not going into any details about the security. They
:07:36. > :07:43.were arrested by the police, but I do not know the details, and I
:07:43. > :07:53.would not share the details of how initial contact was made. How many
:07:53. > :07:54.
:07:54. > :08:00.were arrested? More than one. you roughly what time? I am sorry,
:08:00. > :08:10.I could not hear that? There will be a detailed treatment plan, but I
:08:10. > :08:10.
:08:10. > :08:14.am not able to share that. I am not looking after her myself, so I do
:08:14. > :08:18.not need to get involved and the details, and I would not be able to
:08:18. > :08:28.share them anyway. She will stay here as long as is necessary. It is
:08:28. > :08:31.not possible to answer that question. Regarding the security,
:08:31. > :08:36.is it possible that you might have to look at it again? We will keep
:08:36. > :08:39.it under constant review, but at the moment, ourselves and our
:08:39. > :08:42.security partners are very comfortable with the arrangements.
:08:42. > :08:45.I mentioned the events of last night largely to demonstrate that
:08:46. > :08:55.the security is working, to try to make sure that nobody else is
:08:56. > :09:03.
:09:03. > :09:07.foolish enough to try to intrude. There was more than one incident.
:09:07. > :09:17.On more than one occasion? That is my understanding. It is very much a
:09:17. > :09:18.
:09:18. > :09:23.police matter. Inaudible as I keep saying, I'm afraid I do not know
:09:23. > :09:29.all the details. On the campus, yes. What do you expect to be the first
:09:29. > :09:39.step, will it be neurosurgery? Again, you're getting into details,
:09:39. > :09:48.
:09:48. > :09:51.and it is not appropriate for me to share. I'm sorry. The medical staff
:09:51. > :09:56.from Pakistan are not leading this any more, they are not the most
:09:56. > :10:00.appropriate specialists. I can tell you that we have had more emerging,
:10:00. > :10:10.more radiology undertaken overnight, and the care has been handed over
:10:10. > :10:14.in detail to the most appropriate teams. -- imaging. Have you been
:10:14. > :10:24.encouraged by what you have found? Yes, we are very pleased by her
:10:24. > :10:25.
:10:25. > :10:30.progress overnight, yes. Thank you. That was the statement from the
:10:30. > :10:38.doctor outside that hospital. Later today, you can see a documentary
:10:38. > :10:44.made about Malala Yousafzai, made in 2009, following her family in
:10:44. > :10:50.the days before the Taliban closed down her school. So, her story very
:10:50. > :10:54.much to the fore. The other main news - the former Bosnian Serb
:10:54. > :10:58.leader Radovan Karadzic has denied charges of war crimes at his trial
:10:58. > :11:03.in The Hague. He is representing himself against 10 charges of
:11:03. > :11:08.genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity, during the war in
:11:08. > :11:12.the 1990s. He told the court he did everything he could to avoid war,
:11:13. > :11:18.and that he should be rewarded for his conduct during the conflict.
:11:18. > :11:22.The opening day of the defence - until now, this tribunal has been
:11:22. > :11:26.hearing the prosecution's case, that the former Bosnian Serb leader
:11:26. > :11:29.Radovan Karadzic was a key architect of the worst atrocities
:11:29. > :11:33.committed in Europe since the Second World War. Now, it was his
:11:33. > :11:40.turn to have his say, and from the start, he offered a dramatically
:11:40. > :11:43.different portrait of his role. TRANSLATION: Instead of being

:18:07. > :18:11.left nearly all of the major brands nursing double-digit falls.
:18:11. > :18:14.worst thing is, it is about a million fewer cars sold from
:18:14. > :18:21.September a year ago, but a year ago, the industry was already in
:18:21. > :18:26.trouble, so this is a fall on top of a fall. The UK managed to make
:18:26. > :18:32.an increase only because in Britain they register cars twice the year,
:18:32. > :18:38.so they have a blip in the middle of the year. And what has changed
:18:38. > :18:44.remarkably to the negative is the falls in Germany, right? That is
:18:44. > :18:50.the thing. Car sales are even falling in Germany, overall 14% in

:21:27. > :21:32.all use some Google products, and sometimes we don't even use about -
:21:32. > :21:39.- know about them. And each time we use them, they collect data about

:22:25. > :22:31.all say that people should have been told what was being collected.
:22:31. > :22:36.The experts who follow the industry say that Google got off pretty
