:01:08. > :01:12.that is the charge that prosecutors in South Africa say they will be
:01:12. > :01:17.pursuing against Oscar Pistorius. The world's most famous Paralympic
:01:17. > :01:20.athlete broke down in tears when he was dashed when he appeared at a
:01:20. > :01:24.magistrates' courts in a Pretoria. The murder charge comes after his
:01:24. > :01:29.girlfriend, a well-known model, was found dead at his home. She had
:01:29. > :01:33.been shot. It was agreed that Mr Pistorius would stay in the custody
:01:33. > :01:42.of the police for the time being it would not be held in prison. We
:01:42. > :01:49.have been waiting for his departure outside the courthouse. There has
:01:49. > :01:53.been a lot of media, cameras, waiting for him to depart. We have
:01:53. > :01:58.seen that gate open and shut a few times in the course of the last
:01:58. > :02:04.hour so. Presumably at some moment soon Oscar Pistorius will be
:02:04. > :02:09.heading off to be held in local police custody. Rather than being
:02:09. > :02:13.detained in a Pretoria prison. Richard Galpin has this rapport it.

:02:27. > :02:31.legend facing a day of reckoning after his girlfriend was shot dead.
:02:31. > :02:36.The court was packed with people waiting to see Oscar Pistorius
:02:36. > :02:42.appear before magistrates. When he arrived, he was formally charged
:02:42. > :02:48.with murder. He broke down in tears. The decision on whether to grant
:02:48. > :02:52.him bail was delayed until next week. The shooting took place at
:02:52. > :02:57.Pistorius' home in this closely- guarded housing estate in the early
:02:58. > :03:03.hours of Thursday morning. The woman he is accused of murdering
:03:03. > :03:08.was his girlfriend, the model Reeva Steenkamp. They had been together
:03:08. > :03:13.since last November. They were the ultimate celebrity couple in South
:03:13. > :03:18.Africa. She was a really vibrant personality and she had a wicked
:03:19. > :03:22.sense of humour. The fact that she was so beautiful was there, but
:03:22. > :03:27.that was not the main thing. She was a great person and fun to hang
:03:27. > :03:32.out with. Oscar Pistorius had a tragic start to life. He was born
:03:32. > :03:37.without fibula bones in his lower legs, which were both agitated when
:03:37. > :03:41.he was one year-old. But this tragedy was turned around with the
:03:41. > :03:45.development of high-tech prosthetic limbs. By the age of 17, he had
:03:45. > :03:51.become a legendary Paralympic athlete, winning gold at the Athens
:03:51. > :03:56.Games. This summer in London, he went one step further, competing
:03:57. > :04:02.against able-bodied athletes in the Olympics. Some friends say that
:04:02. > :04:06.this global success changed him. Personally, I think he did change.
:04:06. > :04:12.From the guy he was 12 years ago to the guy he is now, I think he
:04:13. > :04:17.became a different person. Now, the superstar athlete faces a trial for
:04:17. > :04:27.murder. Prosecutors allege that it was premeditated. He could face
:04:27. > :04:30.

:04:36. > :04:41.correspondent in Pretoria. -- hour Africa correspondent.
:04:41. > :04:47.It was very sad to watch this a global superstar walk into a packed
:04:47. > :04:51.court, very hot, very intense. He seemed very alone. He stood their
:04:51. > :04:57.grim face until he heard the prosecutor mention the phrase
:04:57. > :05:02."Premeditated murder". At that point, he broke down. His hands
:05:02. > :05:08.went to his fate -- to his face and the magistrate said "Would you like
:05:08. > :05:13.to sit down?" he sat down on the bench, a lonely figure. For the
:05:13. > :05:18.next 45 minutes, he looked very sad. His muscles were twitching in his
:05:18. > :05:22.neck. You could feel the tension emanating from him. His lawyers and
:05:22. > :05:28.the prosecution lawyers argue its first about whether live cameras
:05:29. > :05:33.should be allowed. That magistrate ruled that they should not be. Then
:05:33. > :05:36.there was a discussion about whether or not to postpone the
:05:36. > :05:40.hearing to give everyone more time to prepare cases and that was
:05:40. > :05:44.agreed. There was another debate about whether or not Oscar
:05:44. > :05:50.Pistorius needed to go, like most people in his position, to the
:05:50. > :05:55.local prison. It was argued by the defence that he should be housed at
:05:55. > :06:00.a local police station, which is where he spent last night. The
:06:00. > :06:03.magistrate said that, warned that be unfair, are we not singling him
:06:03. > :06:07.out for a favourable treatment? But in the end he agreed there would be
:06:07. > :06:11.OK. A bad. A couple of relatives leant forward and touched Oscar
:06:11. > :06:15.Pistorius on his shoulder to comfort him. He stood up and walked
:06:15. > :06:25.out of court. A do we have pictures from outside
:06:25. > :06:28.
:06:28. > :06:32.the court. -- all we have pictures from outside the court. You tweeted
:06:32. > :06:36.earlier on during the procedures and that his defence lawyer
:06:36. > :06:40.described him as being in an extremely traumatised state of mind.
:06:40. > :06:50.I guess anything less than that would be odd. But what is the
:06:50. > :06:51.
:06:51. > :06:55.situation now? We did not get the full affidavits
:06:55. > :06:59.today from the decide. Those will be heard on Tuesday. Each side will
:06:59. > :07:04.prevent their case in more detail about why they think that he should
:07:04. > :07:07.or should not be granted bail. All we got today was a few hints,
:07:07. > :07:11.Firstly, this charge of premeditated murder but the
:07:11. > :07:15.prosecution are planning to bring, and then a couple of references
:07:15. > :07:20.from the defence magistrate about his traumatised state. And about
:07:20. > :07:26.how they're going to argue that this was an accident, a terrible
:07:26. > :07:32.accident that involved him shooting dead his girlfriend.
:07:33. > :07:36.A senior manager at the French food processing firm, Spanghero, has
:07:36. > :07:40.apologised to consumers saying the company did not knowingly

:07:58. > :08:04.This company finds itself very much at heart of the horsemeat scandal.
:08:05. > :08:07.The French government says that this company was responsible for
:08:07. > :08:12.sending out horse meat labelled as beef do suppliers and chains around
:08:12. > :08:17.Europe. The French government has withdrawn its licensed to treat
:08:17. > :08:21.meat, which means that 360 employees here do not know if they
:08:21. > :08:25.have jobs to go back to or not. All morning, they have been coming to
:08:25. > :08:29.the factory here to try and find out more. Inspectors will be
:08:29. > :08:35.returning to his factory to look at the labels and try to understand
:08:35. > :08:39.how long this company has been selling horse meat, pretending it
:08:39. > :08:43.was beef. The company has said since the beginning that it has
:08:43. > :08:49.always believed that what it was selling was beef and not horsemeat.
:08:49. > :08:55.It says that it has no idea that it was ever selling, or exporting
:08:55. > :09:02.horsemeat. The state say that they knew what they were doing and were
:09:02. > :09:06.looking for a quick profit. Christian Fraser is in Brussels.
:09:06. > :09:11.That is where the meeting is taking place. You have seen enough of it
:09:11. > :09:19.for yourself to know that this is a fiendishly difficult trail to get
:09:19. > :09:23.to the bottom of. Does the answer lie in the DNA testing?
:09:23. > :09:27.It is a fiendishly difficult, convoluted supply chain. In reality,
:09:27. > :09:31.it should not be difficult to get to the bottom of this because each
:09:31. > :09:38.shipment of horsemeat is accompanied by a sticker on the
:09:38. > :09:41.palate and buy it documentation it for export. I have travelled a
:09:41. > :09:46.around Europe following this this week and we have seen the export
:09:46. > :09:52.documents from Romania for horsemeat. We have been to Holland
:09:52. > :09:56.to see the paper work leaving cold storage there. And we know from
:09:56. > :10:00.invoice is published in a Parisian newspaper yesterday that they have
:10:00. > :10:05.been dealing with a man whose business was 80% course. The
:10:05. > :10:08.invoice they had received, one of three for January, had a code which
:10:08. > :10:13.corresponded to horse training. When you put the paper work
:10:13. > :10:17.together, you can see clearly where the chain is disrupted. On that is
:10:17. > :10:27.why the French government has taken the action they are taking with
:10:27. > :10:28.
:10:28. > :10:32.Spanghero. The sense of urgency has been building since Wednesday. Am I
:10:32. > :10:36.were -- they understood that the consumers were running out of
:10:36. > :10:41.patience. Spanghero has been suspended of trading immediately.
:10:41. > :10:45.The pressure on supermarkets is telling. Tesco ought have released
:10:45. > :10:48.a statement this afternoon, saying that they're going to review their
:10:48. > :10:52.approach, but there will be more visibility and transparency and
:10:52. > :10:57.they will have a website for consumers to check where they are.
:10:57. > :11:02.They're going to open up the supply chain so consumers know where their
:11:02. > :11:07.meat has come from. Downing Street expressing their
:11:07. > :11:10.gratitude and approval of that statement from Tesco. I suppose the
:11:10. > :11:14.unpalatable truth is that whether it is the meeting behind you taking
:11:14. > :11:19.place or political decisions or whatever supermarkets do, this is
:11:19. > :11:27.going to take a long time to draw to a close.
:11:27. > :11:31.The well, they hope not because they're trying to develop a picture
:11:31. > :11:36.of how widespread the problem is through random sampling. What they
:11:36. > :11:40.are deciding at what they will probably agreed by the end of play
:11:40. > :11:45.today, is a new regime of testing to go alongside that testing
:11:45. > :11:55.programme already in place. From 1st March, they will randomly tests

:22:33. > :22:37.from the violence that followed the disputed elections back in 2007.
:22:37. > :22:44.Both men deny the charges. A forest fire in Chile has destroyed at
:22:44. > :22:51.least 70 homes. It has forced more than 500 families to get out while
:22:51. > :22:57.they can. Absolutely roaring flames. A red alert issued as a result.

:23:07. > :23:11.the summer holiday season. One of Kenya's most successful runners,
:23:11. > :23:17.Moses kip and a week, has said doping is widespread among the
:23:17. > :23:20.countries of it. He was three-times world champion in the 3000 metres
:23:20. > :23:24.steeplechase, and he accused the authorities of turning a blind eye
:23:24. > :23:27.to the problem. He said many young athletes or the use of performance-
:23:27. > :23:33.enhancing drugs as a short cut to success and the wealth that comes
:23:33. > :23:38.with it. There are a good number of athletes using drugs in Kenya.
:23:38. > :23:43.Those who have been suspended, they have come to us and say they are
:23:43. > :23:53.not the only ones. There are still of many of them using the same

:24:12. > :24:16.you, how do you respond? Probably holiday. Jewel of the Mediterranean.
:24:16. > :24:20.The French island is best known as a tourist spot, but it also has a
:24:20. > :24:24.history of violence and assassinations. So much so that it
:24:24. > :24:34.now has the highest murder rate per capita in the whole of Europe. Most
:24:34. > :24:34.
:24:34. > :24:38.of those murders remain unsolved. Corsica's coastline is a luring. In
:24:38. > :24:45.summer, its beaches are packed with holidaymakers. But there's another
:24:45. > :24:49.side of this island that the tourists don't always see. At this
:24:49. > :24:56.petrol station in the capital last October, one of the customers was
:24:56. > :25:04.assassinated before his very eyes. I heard the shots, he says. I
:25:04. > :25:08.looked out and saw the assassins on motorbikes. The murder victim was
:25:08. > :25:12.Corsica's top lawyer. An unusually high-profile target and now one of
:25:12. > :25:20.250 people to have been killed or injured in a wave of organised
:25:20. > :25:25.crime in the last eight years. The victim's daughter, Anna Maria, is
:25:25. > :25:30.fearful the assassins may never be found.
:25:30. > :25:33.TRANSLATION: In Corsica there is a real culture of impunity. Assassins
:25:33. > :25:37.killed in broad daylight at a petrol station and the security
:25:37. > :25:44.cameras. It makes you wonder if sometimes they aren't given some
:25:44. > :25:49.kind of help. Corsica has long been a violent place. In the 1970s
:25:49. > :25:53.onwards, it became notorious for militant separatist movements
:25:53. > :25:58.seeking greater autonomy from France. The nationalist problem has
:25:58. > :26:02.subsided. Corsica's economy has rebounded. Holiday homes are big
:26:02. > :26:07.business. But real estate has in turn fed organised crime.
:26:07. > :26:11.Everywhere you look there are new holiday homes being built, as
:26:11. > :26:16.developers capitalise on a 25 % rise in property prices in the
:26:16. > :26:22.north of the island last year. But all too often campaigners fear that
:26:22. > :26:27.the money involved ends up in the pockets of criminals. It's a big
:26:28. > :26:34.concern for the French government. Today we see that those terrorist
:26:34. > :26:42.acts are also linked to organised crime. It is always illegal
:26:42. > :26:47.business, racketeering. Today the priority is to fight against both.
