The Egyptian president, Mohammed Morsi, is to meet senior judges in | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
an effort to defuse the row over an expansion of his powers. Mr Morsi | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
awarded himself unchallenged control of Egypt, sparking violent | :01:09. | :01:19. | |
:01:19. | :01:22. | ||
protests across the country and a The scene of some of the fiercest | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
clashes in Egypt's recent street protests. The Muslim Brotherhood | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
says one of its teenage members lost his life during an attack by | :01:30. | :01:36. | |
protesters on its main office in the city. This man says the 15- | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
year-old victim was a high-school student, martyred by thugs and hit | :01:41. | :01:47. | |
men. At the local hospital, chaos as the injured arrive. This | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
violence has sprung from President Morsi's decision to grant himself | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
new powers, a move that has divided the country. In Cairo, | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
demonstrators are continuing to speak out against the President. | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
TRANSLATION: How can we guarantee that tomorrow he won't sell the | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
Suez Canal? No one can tell him, what are you doing? Not everyone | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
who has taken to the streets has done so to criticise President | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
Morsi. At this rally, supporters backed his claim that his edict | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
would protect the revolution from vested interests clinging to the | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
past. TRANSLATION: A strong opposition in the Street are | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
remnants of the old regime. They want to destroy the country and not | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
see the people progress. For Muslim Brotherhood, of which President | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
Morsi is a leader, have paid a high price for this decree. As well as | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
the targeting of its office here, a building in Alexandra has been left | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
in disarray after it was stormed by demonstrators on Friday. Officials | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
here have condemned the attack. A large section of each its judiciary | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
reacted with fury to the edict, threatening to strike. They will | :03:01. | :03:08. | |
meet -- he will meet with senior judges on Friday. Despite the | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
criticism, President Morsi is admired by many in Egypt and he was | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
-- in what is being seen as a move towards compromise, a fresh | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
statement from the President's office said his new powers would | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
only be temporary and that he was committed with working with all | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
political forces. One thing is clear, a rapid solution is needed | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
to this crisis. Large demonstrations are planned by | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
supporters and opponents on Tuesday. Many fear they will be accompanied | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
by more violence. The Israeli defence minister, Ehud | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
Barak, has announced that he's leaving politics. Speaking at a | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
press conference, he said he won't contest parliamentary elections in | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
January, but will stay on as a minister until a new government is | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
formed. Barak, who was Israel's prime minister for two years, also | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
served in the Israel Defence Forces for almost four decades. Our | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
correspondent in Jerusalem Kevin Connolly says many people will not | :03:58. | :04:06. | |
have expected such a decision from Mr Barak. | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
I think people probably have been taken by surprise by the nature of | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
the announcement. We knew he would make an announcement this morning, | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
but not what it was and there was all sorts of speculation. Some | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
people guessed he would step aside from politics, but others thought | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
it might be about how his party was preparing for the elections in | :04:26. | :04:34. | |
January. It is not entirely unexpected in the sense that Mr | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
Barak leaves a party which is a very small party in the Israeli | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
parliament, although he is very powerful. It is entirely possible | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
that that party might not make the threshold of the share of the | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
popular vote you need to get into the next Parliament after the | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
elections on 22nd January and that would be no way for a rather | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
illustrious career in Israeli public life to end. That is | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
probably the main driver for his decision and the important take | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
away from all of this from elsewhere in the world is that this | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
is not anything to do with Israel's operations against Gaza last week, | :05:12. | :05:20. | |
those military operations. It is not a sign of any dissent in his | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
reels boarding establishment about those operations, it is much more | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
about Barak's own position in Israeli politics, his age and the | :05:29. | :05:36. | |
strength of his party as elections loom. How will this affect the | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
influence on the prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu? Some might say | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
that I had barrack is the most moderating influence on him at the | :05:43. | :05:50. | |
moment. -- A had Barak. I'm not sure it would be accurate to say | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
that Barak is a moderating factor. The men have been close since their | :05:55. | :06:03. | |
days in the army together. Barak is interesting because he is a very | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
powerful man and he has been prime minister, he is regarded as a | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
successful defence minister, but in terms... That doesn't translate | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
into a personal or electoral political popularity. Opinion polls | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
suggest Israelis are very happy to have him as defence minister, but | :06:21. | :06:27. | |
he is not a great vote-winner. In that sense, his departure from | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
Israeli public life won't really change the party political | :06:30. | :06:38. | |
landscape as much as it might seem from the outside. Thank you | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
A second fire has broken out at a clothing factory in Bangladesh's | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
capital, Dhaka, just days after at least 112 people died in another | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
factory fire on Saturday. There are no details on casualties yet and | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
police say they do not know how many people are inside the building. | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
Elsewhere in the capital, thousands of factory workers have taken to | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
the streets in protest. The government announced that Tuesday | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
would be a national day of mourning for victims of Saturday's blaze. | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
Syrian authorities have made no comment on opposition claims that a | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
cluster bomb killed ten children on Sunday near Damascus. Unverified | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
video posted online shows residents in Deir al-Asafir carrying the | :07:08. | :07:15. | |
bodies of children indoors. The kids reportedly went out to play | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
after a lull in fighting. Earlier this month, the UN political | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
affairs chief told the Security Council of credible reports that | :07:21. | :07:29. | |
the Syrian military is using cluster bombs. | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
More on those stories on our website. Now we can get the | :07:33. | :07:39. | |
business news. Kicking off with Greece. The problem of whether this | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
debt is sustainable hangs over everything. | :07:41. | :07:48. | |
Absolutely. Are you holding your breath? Don't! The third meeting in | :07:48. | :07:55. | |
two weeks between the international lenders degrees, the EU, the | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
European Central Bank and the IMF. They are meeting, trying to resolve | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
their differences so they can press the green light for Greece and | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
Athens to get its nest -- next chunk of money, $40 million. -- $40 | :08:09. | :08:16. | |
billion. Athens has been keeping its head afloat by it short-term | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
borrowing. It has been a long time coming. The meeting last week, they | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
failed to agree on these differences. How to manage these | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
huge mountain of debt that Greece is sitting on. For the IMF says it | :08:30. | :08:39. | |
is inevitable that Greece will not be able to pay it back. The Germans | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
don't want to go too soft on Greece. They are saying we can still do a | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
deal, but nobody is taking a haircut, nobody will take any | :08:47. | :08:57. | |

losses. Nigel Cassidy has put it Take the bail out and go, say | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
thousands of state workers about to lose their jobs. But so far Athens | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
can't get hold of the bail out cash. If it is to be granted its latest | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
tranche today, there has to be a compromise between on one side the | :09:14. | :09:20. | |
unwavering IMF, which can't lend to insolvent borrowers, and the | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
eurozone, willing to allow a greased two extra years to meet its | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
debt cutting targets and try to slow the fast descent into economic | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
depression. The markets and the IMF say they can be no final resolution | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
until all the official sector lenders agree to write off some of | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
their loans. But the biggest, Germany, says this desire for debt | :09:41. | :09:47. | |
relief can't be realised. TRANSLATION: The desire is only | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
human, but there won't be an answer, it is a process. Something which | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
was not on for years can't be picked up overnight. So the markets | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
say it points to yet another temporary solution, a complicated | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
fudge leaving the door open to write downs later. We should be | :10:05. | :10:11. | |
clear that this set of measures does not exclude they need to | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
reassess the sustainability of Greece in the coming years. | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
Greeks need the money now and analysts things they may get it as | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
early as today. A Greece is likely to be given more time and I think | :10:24. | :10:34. | |
:10:34. | :10:34. | ||
their debt levels will be cut, but not as much as the IMF want. | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
the delays have gone down badly in Athens, but the eurozone it also | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
knows that anger may erupt in other rescued countries if Greece gets | :10:43. | :10:51. | |
more special treatment today. As soon as we get a result, if we | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
get a result, we will bring it to you. | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
Britain's financial regulator has fined the Swiss bank UBS nearly $48 | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
million for failing to stop the trader Kweku Adoboli from running | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
up $2 billion worth of reckless trades. He was jailed for seven | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
years last week after admitting trading far in excess of authorised | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
limits. The Financial Services Authority said UBS did not take | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
reasonable care to organise and control its affairs responsibly and | :11:14. | :11:21. | |
effectively. For its part, UBS accepted the findings and said | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
action had been taken to make the company less complicated. Charlie | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
Parker, who is investment editor at Citywire, says the bank stood have | :11:28. | :11:36. | |
understood the risks better. bottom line is they were not | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
properly understanding the risk that that guy was taking on a day- | :11:40. | :11:46. | |
by-day basis. He is just one of thousands of traders around the | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
world and it is very reasonable for people to say, do you know what, | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
until you were able to do these things in such a way where you can | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
be absolutely confident about what is going on, you need to make your | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
system simpler. That message is just starting to permeate through | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
and UBS has responded by closing down some of its operations. | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
Time for a look at some other business news. Argentina will today | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
appeal a US court ruling that requires it to pay out $1.3 billion | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
to investors holding bonds that the country defaulted on back in 2001. | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
The government has until 15th December to reimburse the hedge | :12:22. | :12:30. | |
funds, which rejected two renegotiated deals in 2005 and 2010. | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
If it fails, there's speculation that Argentina could default again | :12:33. | :12:40. | |
on loans valued up to $24 billion. The owner of Aston Martin, Kuwait's | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
Investment Dar, has denied reports that it has received competing bids | :12:43. | :12:47. | |

James Bond. India's Mahindra and Mahindra were thought to have made | :12:57. | :13:03. | |
a higher offer. But in an interview with a Kuwaiti newspaper, the | :13:03. | :13:07. | |

Samsung says an audit of 105 of its suppliers in China has identified | :13:10. | :13:15. | |

included overtime in excess of local laws as well as fines for | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
being late or absent from work. However, it found no evidence of | :13:22. | :13:30. | |
under-age workers at any of the suppliers. The audit followed a | :13:30. | :13:33. | |

Nearly everywhere you go, you see this. Many of Kabul's roads and | :14:35. | :14:40. | |

Most of the streets around this area have been like this for weeks | :14:44. | :14:49. | |
now. Since these dreams were dug, it has caused traffic jams and | :14:49. | :14:56. | |
everyone's life has been disrupted. Like this car-wash business. The | :14:56. | :15:02. | |

like this, stuck in a whole. Translation it has been like this | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
for three months, it is so dusty and no work seems to be getting | :15:11. | :15:16. | |
done. If they were not going to finish, they shouldn't have started. | :15:16. | :15:22. | |
Her negotiating for roads can be a perilous business. We fell down in | :15:22. | :15:31. | |
this place. It is about 50 days that they are working. But not | :15:31. | :15:39. | |
doing it fast. Very big problem for people. But in other parts of the | :15:39. | :15:44. | |
city, some of the roads are almost finished. The Kabul municipality | :15:44. | :15:49. | |
says that by 2016, all the roads in the City should be of this standard. | :15:49. | :15:55. | |
But it is taking time and people are losing patience. We are trying | :15:55. | :16:02. | |

obvious that when you dig the ground like this, people have to | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
suffer a little bit of difficulty. They have to share it with us and | :16:12. | :16:18. | |
we are sharing it with them. the Mayor's office insists that the | :16:18. | :16:24. | |
road works will be completed before winter, but few people believe it. | :16:24. | :16:28. | |

revealed around 1000 credible claims were made, including every | :19:53. | :19:58. | |
form of abuse across six decades. The government decided it was on | :19:58. | :20:03. | |
such a scale that it had to act. those men and women in the | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
Australian Defence Force or the Department of Defense who have | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
suffered sexual or other forms of abuse, on behalf of the government | :20:11. | :20:17. | |
I say sorry. John Atkins was one of those who came forward after 60 | :20:17. | :20:22. | |
years. He joined the Navy as a 13- year-old and was subject to abuse | :20:22. | :20:29. | |
with a blunt instrument. I'm sorry, it's frightful and unacceptable | :20:29. | :20:34. | |
behaviour. It's an absolute disgrace because, frankly, I | :20:34. | :20:43. | |
believe every officer knows, every officer today knows and there's a | :20:43. | :20:49. | |
code of silence. The abuses date back to the 1950s when those like | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
John could join almost as children. The Navy in particular comes out | :20:52. | :20:58. | |
badly from this. Deborah was a Engineer in the Navy in the 1990s | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
when she says she was raped. What would it mean to me for an apology? | :21:02. | :21:09. | |
A lot, a whole lot. I lost my career Rover this. This apology for | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
military abuses follows other similar ones by the government for | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
migrant children and the indigenous aboriginal population. They are | :21:16. | :21:21. | |
really about writing very old injustices. They very rarely lead | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
to criminal prosecutions because the evidence isn't fair. What is | :21:24. | :21:30. | |
more about is a collective national process of healing. For those like | :21:30. | :21:34. | |
John Atkins, this is about getting people to listen. Recognition by | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
their country that they were wronged in the service of their | :21:37. | :21:45. | |
New talks aimed at reaching a global deal on cutting greenhouse | :21:45. | :21:50. | |
gas emissions have begun in the Qatari capital, Doha. Participants | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
from almost 200 countries are attending the conference. | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
Negotiators have to agree an extension to the Kyoto Protocol, | :21:58. | :22:02. | |
that commits rich nations to cut carbon emissions. More rain has | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
fallen across England, with up to a month's rain forecast a fall in | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
North-East England and North Wales. It comes after days of extreme | :22:09. | :22:16. | |
weather which has flooded more than 800 homes. The heavy rains that | :22:16. | :22:21. | |
caused devastation to many homes in the south and west of the UK are | :22:21. | :22:25. | |
continuing today and moving north. Ground already saturated and | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
reverse already high mean more serious flooding looks likely. The | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
Environment Agency says the South West, North Wales and the north- | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
east are at greatest risk throughout today. Up to 70 mm is | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
expected to fall in parts of the north-east - that's nearly three | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
inches. The it looks like it's heading out of the West Country and | :22:45. | :22:49. | |
into the Midlands, across Wales, up into the north-east. In terms of | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
the national picture, people have got to really still stay on flood | :22:53. | :22:58. | |
alert, stay away and get ready to take action. Really respect these | :22:58. | :23:01. | |
floodwaters, don't drive into them, make sure people keep themselves | :23:02. | :23:07. | |
safe and sound. The South West has already been hard hit with people | :23:07. | :23:12. | |
already counting the cost and preparing for more to come. But | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
insurance companies say the government needs to urgently agreed | :23:15. | :23:19. | |
to wait temporary interest free overdraft for the industry. Without | :23:19. | :23:22. | |
it they say 200,000 homes and businesses could be left without | :23:22. | :23:27. | |
cover against flood damage next year. It is important that we do | :23:27. | :23:32. | |
get a decision soon and quickly so we can put procedures and the flood | :23:32. | :23:38. | |
insurance model into place, so that we can move ahead next year when | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
the statement of principles comes to an end. The government says | :23:41. | :23:43. | |
discussions are ongoing. The Environment Minister is clearly | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
annoyed by the timing of the industry's demands. I don't | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
recognise the fact that we are deadlocked, I don't see that at all. | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
I was in a high-level meeting at the end of last week, this will | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
continue. What we are representing in that room is the taxpayer. | :23:58. | :24:02. | |
People who have large calls on their household income. We want to | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
make sure it's fair for all people who pay insurance. While those | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
talks continue, hundreds of flood alerts are in place. They are | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
changing all the time and people are being advised to check the | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
Environment Agency website. They are also being advised to consider | :24:16. | :24:20. | |
travel plans in affected areas. Some rail services have been | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
discovered and Rhodes made impossible. Even at the all-weather | :24:24. | :24:26. | |
horse racing meeting in Nottinghamshire has been abandoned | :24:26. | :24:31. | |
because of flooding. One of the world's greatest ever rock'n'roll | :24:31. | :24:35. | |
bands, the Rolling Stones, have celebrated their 50th anniversary | :24:35. | :24:39. | |
with a concert in London. They performed to 20,000 fans and were | :24:39. | :24:43. | |
joined by former band mates Bill Wyman and Maik Taylor for the first | :24:43. | :24:51. | |
time in more than 20 years. -- Maik Taylor. As Mick Jagger pointed out | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
last night, it had taken the Rolling Stones 50 years to get from | :24:54. | :24:59. | |
Dartford to Greenwich, a distance of 10 miles. Their fans had | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
travelled a lot further. I came all the way from Australia, Midnight | :25:03. | :25:09. | |
rambler, the best ever. They opened with their second ever single from | :25:09. | :25:19. | |
:25:19. | :25:20. | ||
1963. The two-and-a-half-hour, 23 songs set spanned the whole career. | :25:20. | :25:26. | |
And former band members Mick Taylor and Bill Wyman return to make | :25:26. | :25:29. | |
cameos for stomach had been made about the ticket prices. Mick | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
Jagger even joked about it, asking - how are you in the cheap seats? | :25:33. | :25:38. | |
Before adding, though, there aren't any! But the crowd seemed to think | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
it was worth every penny. It was pretty special. It's not very often | :25:42. | :25:52. | |
:25:52. | :25:52. | ||
you get to see something like that. It was incredible. One thing they | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
didn't get was any satisfaction. Scheduled to be the last song of | :25:57. | :26:07. | |

the night, the strict the 11pm The football World Cup in Brazil is | :26:10. | :26:15. | |
two years away and no tournament is complete without a mascot. The | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
armadillo is in the colours of the Brazilian flag and has now been | :26:19. | :26:26. | |
officially named Fuleco. It transmits a message of | :26:26. | :26:31. | |
environmental awareness. The three banded armadillo is an endangered | :26:31. | :26:36. | |
species and this is his very sunny, lovely looking cuddly friend. I | :26:36. | :26:44. | |
think children are going to love it. Much more on all of our news at the | :26:44. | :26:51. |
