now. Somalia's President says his Government needs more help to | :00:29. | :00:32. | |

time in ho years. And China denies claims by the | :00:44. | :00:54. | |
:00:54. | :01:05. | ||
Pentagon that it is hacking US Hello and welcome. They disappeared | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
into thin air a decade ago. Now three young women have been freed | :01:10. | :01:16. | |
after being kidnapped and he would captive in an ordinary suburban | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
house in Ohio. One of the women, who had been held since she was 16 | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
Managed to escape after attracting a neighbour's attention. Three | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
brothers in their 50s have been arrested. | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
It was an extraordinary discovery. Three Cleveland women who went | :01:34. | :01:40. | |
missing at different times years ago found in one house in the city. | :01:40. | :01:47. | |
is just truly, truly amazing and it is a blessing to the community and | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
to the members of the Police Department and their families that | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
they are alive. There's three in custody. They are all brothers. One | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
of them lived in the house. Amanda Berry who alerted a neighbour by | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
screaming for him to rescue her. looked and I see this girl and she | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
just going nuts on the door, so I'm like, what's your problem, are you | :02:09. | :02:15. | |
stuck? Just open the door. She says, I can't, it is locked. It was only | :02:15. | :02:22. | |
enough to reach the hand out to grab the mail and close the door. I tried | :02:22. | :02:29. | |
to pry it open but that didn't work. Luckily the door was aluminium and | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
we got into the house and she diamond 911. Help me, I'm Amanda | :02:34. | :02:42. | |
Berry. You need police, fire or ambulance? I need police.What's | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
going on there? I've been kidnapped and I've been missing ten years but | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
I'm free now. Amanda Berry reportedly had a child with her. | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
Other children were said to be at the house as well. It was ten years | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
ago that Amanda Berry then aged 16 made a call to her sister to say she | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
had arrived home from her job at a fast food chain. She never came | :03:02. | :03:08. | |
home. A year later Gina DeJesus, then 14, went missing on her way | :03:08. | :03:16. | |
home from school. She knew who we were and we were looking for her all | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
this time. Third woman, Michele Knight, disappeared 12 years ago, | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
aged 20. Despite the headlines and an extensive search, they were all | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
but given up for dead. One prison inmate even claimed he knew where | :03:29. | :03:35. | |
Amanda Berry's body was. It was a cruel hoax. The women have been | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
taken to a hospital for medical checks and to be reunited with their | :03:39. | :03:46. | |
families. The mother of Amanda Berry will not be there, she died in 2006, | :03:46. | :03:55. | |
never knowing that her daughter was still alive. It used to be held up | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
as a prime example of a failed state, but an international | :03:59. | :04:05. | |
conference in London is trying to help Somalia capitalise on signs of | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
hope after years of civil war and famine. For the first time in | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
decades, Somalia's Government is recognised by the United States, the | :04:13. | :04:19. | |
IMF and other key players. Islamist militants from Al-Shabaab have lost | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
control of several major towns and attacks by Somali pirates have | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
decreased dramatically. The Somali President is co-hosting | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
the conference. We are expecting that the world deals with Somalia | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
differently this time, since the end a of the transition. We are | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
expecting the world will be seeing Somalia with a different lens this | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
time round. Key priority to be discussed at the conference is | :04:49. | :04:56. | |
security and the supposed improved security in Somalia. Just two days | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
ahead of the conference there were two massive bomb attacks in | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
Mogadishu, conducted by Al-Shabaab. How can you say the situation is | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
improving? They were not happening before, because they were fully | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
controlled by Al-Shabaab. Today it is not controlling it. They are | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
coming there as suicide bombers or roadside bombs the. That indicates | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
the level of security improvement under the control of the Somali | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
Government. One more thing is that one has to understand that incidents | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
like what's happened in Mogadishu is something that is common and | :05:28. | :05:35. | |
something that indicates when these groups, their grip on society | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
decline as. That's the next stage of the war that they do. We are very | :05:40. | :05:46. | |
much hopeful and expecting that this will end soon. Particularly this | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
time around Somalia's security forces and the institution | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
institutions are getting wide support from the international | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
community. The British Prime Minister and other world leaders | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
have invested not only time, money and other resources in trying to | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
sort Somalia out. They've actually invested their personal reputations | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
on Somalia improving. How long do you think their patience is going to | :06:10. | :06:16. | |
last, given that things are going so slowly in Somalia? , something very | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
clearly, the British Government and rest of the world was waiting for | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
Somalia for 22 years. I don't see it is a long time to wait for the last | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
seven months only. With seven months compared to the level of improvement | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
we have in place, it is a highly appreciatable achievement that we | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
did in the past. Britain I think still has the patience to wait many | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
more years. Somalia to get back to its position in the international | :06:44. | :06:51. | |
Arena will need a long time to go through, but what we are doing is we | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
are making improvements. ? Are we moving in the right direction? I | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
think the international community is satisfied and the Somali people are | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
satisfied on those two areas. Moving in the right direction and moving, | :07:03. | :07:09. | |
that's where we are now. With me is Mohammed Mohammed from the BBC's | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
Somali service. You were in Somalia a month ago. How great is the need | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
for outside help and what specifically does Somalia need to | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
tackle Al-Shabaab in the first place? Doesn't have any | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
infrastructure. What it didn't have the clan militias which are put | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
together as an Army. They need the armies to be recruited properly in | :07:33. | :07:39. | |
order to fight Al-Shabaab in the rural areas. The main urban areas | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
which they've secured they need to recreate, start what they call | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
Government services - schools, hospitals, and even the Somali | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
currency is only one banknote. 1,000 is the maulest and the biggest and | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
it is not enough, there's not enough of it around. The business community | :07:59. | :08:05. | |
are asking people to buy things this dollars but they can't afford it. | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
The Government needs to bring enough money to pay salaries and create | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
opportunities for everybody, especially the youngsters, which | :08:13. | :08:19. | |
have been what you call the source of fighting for Al-Shabaab. When | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
people, when countries are asked to donate now to Somalia, given its | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
history, how can they be confidence that that money is going to go where | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
it is targeted and that it is going to be able to achieve this rooting | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
out of Al-Shabaab, which is what the international community wants? | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
areas have been identified by this current Government is security and | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
creating jobs and other important issues. So the international | :08:45. | :08:51. | |
community, if they pledge enough money to kick-start the Somali | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
economy, Somalia may be able to create an opportunity to raise its | :08:55. | :09:02. | |
own revenues. It can't be checked and contrachildren chief executived | :09:02. | :09:08. | |
how the -- it can't be checked how the money is spent. People know how | :09:08. | :09:15. | |
to manage the economy and how to make sure corruption takes place -- | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
makes sure corruption doesn't take place and this money is lost. | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
dismissed accusations that its Army is using computer hacking to steal | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
defence secrets from the the US military. It is the first time that | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
the Pentagon has directly accused China of using hacking as it tries | :09:32. | :09:40. | |
to modernise its Army. Patience patience patience joins us from -- | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
Martin Patience joins us from Beijing. What exactly are the US | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
saying has been done? I think that's right. This report, this annual | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
report was remarkable in its frankness. We've seen these | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
accusations before but not from the Pentagon. It is worth pointing out | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
that they say the Chinese military's primary goal is stealing what ll | :10:03. | :10:09. | |
calls industrial technology. To the report goes on to say that | :10:09. | :10:16. | |
information gathered on US military capabilities could be easily easily | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
exploited. China's Foreign Ministry accused Washington of making | :10:20. | :10:26. | |
irresponsible comments and it said that its military build-up or its | :10:26. | :10:32. | |
defence build-up, as it put it, was normal and justified. So how much | :10:32. | :10:41. | |
does this ratchet up the tension? is very serious the accusation. I'm | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
sure in Beijing and Washington it will have ratcheted up the tension | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
between the two countries. From Beijing's point of view it is | :10:48. | :10:54. | |
worried about the so-called American pivot towards Asia. America ca's | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
increased military presence, rebuilding old alliances with Japan, | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
Vietnam and the Philippines for example. Beijing believes Washington | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
is trying to encircle it. That's denied by Washington. From | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
Washington's point of view, I think there's real concern over the | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
transparency of China's military build-up. Just to give an example of | :11:14. | :11:21. | |
that, the Chinese authorities say they are spend spending 100 billion | :11:21. | :11:30. | |
duds a year on mod -- 100 billy dollar as year on modernising. They | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
want more clarity on what the Chinese military is spending its | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
money on, what it is trying to do. China insist this is the a peaceful | :11:38. | :11:44. | |
rise and that America should not threaten or try to influence what it | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
considers its own interests. America's not the only country by | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
any means that's raised questions about the increased Chinese | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
military, but what's America saying here, are they saying China is | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
wanting to access what America doing or that it is trying to steal | :12:01. | :12:07. | |
technology in some form? It is saying its primary goal is to steal | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
industrial secrets. From that it says it could potentially use | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
information which is gathered on the US military capabilities. That could | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
be exploited during any crisis. It is worth pointing out that America | :12:22. | :12:28. | |
hasn't talked about its own use of cyber warfare. Why would it? It is a | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
report about China, but from Beijing's point of view it will say | :12:31. | :12:40. | |
OK we are building up these capabilities. Perhaps not what | :12:40. | :12:45. | |
America suggests, it denies those accusations, but it is equipping | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
itself in order to protect, it says, this is purely defensive in order to | :12:49. | :12:55. | |
protect what it calls the nation. Martin, thank you. | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
The birth of a child should be a cause for celebration, but for | :12:59. | :13:05. | |
millions of mothers and babies it is the riskiest time of their lives. 1 | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
million babies each year die on the day they are born, according to the | :13:10. | :13:17. | |
charity, Save the Children. Its late latest mother's report shows the gap | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
between the richest and poorest nations. Save the Children has | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
ranked countries using factors like the mortality risks from childbirth, | :13:25. | :13:30. | |
the chance of children under five dying, and how many years pupils | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
attend school. They found that Finland is the best place to be a | :13:34. | :13:40. | |
mother. With Sweden and Norway in second and third places. A Finnish | :13:40. | :13:45. | |
child can expect to receive almost 17 years of formal education, and | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
maternal and child deaths are extremely rare. But it is a | :13:49. | :13:54. | |
tragically different picture in sub-Saharan Africa. The Democratic | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
Republic of Cong is the toughest place to be a mother, with Somalia | :13:59. | :14:05. | |
and Sierra Leone not far behind. In the DRC war and poverty has left | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
mothers malnourished and unsupported at the most vulnerable time of their | :14:09. | :14:14. | |
lives. A woman had a one in 30 chance of dying while trying to have | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
a children, and one in six children don't leadership to see their fifth | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
birthday. It is also disappointing to see poor countries falling | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
further behind the rich ones. But there are surprising figures even in | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
the United States. In the industrialised world the US has by | :14:30. | :14:36. | |
far the most deaths of newborns, 11,300 babies die on the day they | :14:37. | :14:43. | |
enter the world each year. This doctor explains that one of the main | :14:43. | :14:53. | |
:14:53. | :14:53. | ||
reasons is the high rate of immigration. Is stress of migrating, | :14:53. | :14:58. | |
the lack of access to care in the transition window, and they are all | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
major contributors to a premature birth rate or a particular | :15:01. | :15:06. | |
convocation during the pregnancy and birth. The research shows the number | :15:06. | :15:11. | |
of newborns dying all over the world has remained stubbornly high. | :15:11. | :15:16. | |
could be tackled relatively cheaply, helping children, their mothers, | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
and... I'm sorry we lost that slightly early but that report from | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
Emily Buchanan on the state of the world mothers. You can find out more | :15:24. | :15:30. | |
at the website. The Libyan Defence minister, Mohammed al-Barghati has | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
resigned, denouncing the recent siege of government ministries by | :15:33. | :15:35. | |
armed groups as an assault on democracy. His resignation comes | :15:35. | :15:37. | |
just days after the Libyan parliament passed a controversial | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
law banning senior officials who served under Colonel Gaddafi from | :15:40. | :15:49. | |
holding public office. Just some breaking news to bring you now. | :15:49. | :15:51. | |
Within the last few minutes, the Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
Erdogan has condemned Israel's air strike on Damascus over the weekend | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
as unacceptable. He's said it gives the Syrian government an opportunity | :15:57. | :16:05. | |
to cover up its own killings. He also criticised Iran for turning a | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
blind eye to the massacres. Stay with us on BBC World News. Still to | :16:09. | :16:12. | |

American Officials say North Korea has removed two medium-range | :16:27. | :16:37. | |
:16:37. | :16:39. | ||
missiles from launch sites on its any imminent threat of a test-launch | :16:39. | :16:49. | |
:16:49. | :16:51. | ||
of the weapons. Susana Mendonca has more. A recent long-range missile | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
test by North Korea which added to heighten tensions about the | :16:55. | :17:00. | |
country's nuclear ambition. But now the USA says North Korea has removed | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
at the missiles from Lord sites on its east coast, ending fears that | :17:04. | :17:13. | |
another such test could be imminent. The revelation came just hours after | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
the South Korean Prime Minister laid a wreath at Arlington National | :17:17. | :17:21. | |
ceremony in America on a visit to mark the 60th anniversary of the US | :17:21. | :17:31. | |
and South Korean alliance. She will hold talks with Barack Obama yet | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
which are expected to focus on the North Korean threats but so far a | :17:35. | :17:40. | |
senior US official has said it's too early to celebrate the removal of | :17:40. | :17:50. | |
those missiles, given North Korea is unpredictable behaviour. North Korea | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
is young leader was pictured on state TV on Monday enjoying a | :17:54. | :18:00. | |
concert to mark the country's Labor Day celebrations. They have been | :18:00. | :18:05. | |
angered by joint US and South Korean military drones and this latest | :18:05. | :18:10. | |
decision could indicate a lowering of those tensions. In other news. | :18:10. | :18:13. | |

insist it wasn't about her avoiding a politically tricky summit and they | :20:15. | :20:22. | |
point out that he is there a de facto as her, said they were trying | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
to avoid a politically difficult summit, they wouldn't have sent a | :20:25. | :20:30. | |
Royal at all. By the time of the summit, she will be 87, her husband, | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
Prince Philip, 92, and they have got to do things they have decided, to | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
reduce their workload and one way of doing that, is to reduce long haul | :20:38. | :20:44. | |
overseas trips. Some people might say perhaps the Queen didn't want to | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
be drawn into a diplomatic row. clear that this is not about | :20:47. | :20:55. | |
politics? They say not because the politics are still there. They | :20:55. | :21:01. | |
insist that he is representing her, so he is de facto her at the meeting | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
and would do what a head of state would do. It's more of an | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
acknowledgement that what you do in a country where they are not going | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
to follow the example of the Netherlands, she won't abdicate, but | :21:10. | :21:15. | |
she's getting older, so what we're going to increasingly see in the UK | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
is that we will see less of her, and more of him, so it's a very, very | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
significant moment for the Prince of Wales, because it's not automatic | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
that you will be head of the Commonwealth when he is king. Behind | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
the Commonwealth when he is king. Behind-the-scenes, away from these | :21:31. | :21:36. | |
discussion, they have been lots of discussions against the heads of | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
state and that coalesce on an agreement that he will be the next | :21:39. | :21:48. | |
head, so this will be a very, very significant thing. Peter Hunt, our | :21:48. | :21:53. | |
boiler correspondence. In South Africa, traditional healers known as | :21:53. | :21:55. | |
Sangomas are often stereotyped as older, uneducated people from rural | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
areas. While many people still consult them, they tend to do so in | :21:59. | :22:01. | |
secret and with a slight sense of embarrassment. But all that's | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
beginning to change. Golana Gwala has been to meet a modern Sangoma. | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
She is ambitious, upwardly mobile and is fiercely competitive as any | :22:09. | :22:18. | |
other young woman working her way up the corporate ladder. She is a tough | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
businesswoman in the making. Except she has an extra gift, she is a | :22:22. | :22:27. | |
traditional healer known here as a sangoma. A practice steeped in | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
mystery, a mythical conduit between ancestors and the living. They are | :22:32. | :22:38. | |
considered a throwback to the past, and so, she gets a lot of questions | :22:38. | :22:43. | |
about her other life. I think most of life when somebody asks me about | :22:43. | :22:53. | |
:22:53. | :22:54. | ||
it, they will be shocked, how, when? You don't look like one. And here, a | :22:54. | :22:57. | |
different thing altogether. Today she has assumed to other role, ready | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
to consult with those seeking answers to life difficult questions. | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
She is connecting to the ancestors through drums and dance. And the | :23:05. | :23:10. | |
ancestors become active within her, speaking through her, and she gets | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
an overwhelming feeling of pain and sorrow, no longer in control of her | :23:13. | :23:23. | |

they are doing a ritual. She has assumed a completely different | :23:33. | :23:43. | |
:23:43. | :23:45. | ||
personality, she is now referred to as dog Mavis, the guardian angel. | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
It's a far cry from her day job at the office. But what do her | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
colleagues think of her life? She is a normal girl, she plays hard, she | :23:54. | :24:02. | |
works hard. I do believe they are good for society. No voodoo, none of | :24:02. | :24:12. | |
that. Pins and needles, no. I have checked. But she does have a bag of | :24:12. | :24:22. | |
:24:22. | :24:24. | ||
tricks. Everyone of them a significance. You think what this | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
could be. Everyone of them has certain message. It's thought the | :24:28. | :24:34. | |
majority of South Africans consult sangomas and the hope is the new | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
generation will help demystify this practice and restore its role in | :24:38. | :24:43. | |
society here. Four German climbers and their Filipino guide have been | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
killed during an eruption of one of the Philippines' most active | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
volcanoes. About 20 people, including foreign tourists and | :24:49. | :24:55. | |
