:00:13. > :00:17.World News, our top stories: Bomb attacks in two of Iraq's biggest

:00:17. > :00:22.cities, around 30 people died, many more have been injured. Fierce

:00:22. > :00:26.fighting engulfs the Syrian town of Qusair, with claims that Hezbollah

:00:26. > :00:30.militants are fighting now on the Government side.

:00:30. > :00:33.Rwanda's president reveals to the BBC that he believes UN peacekeepers

:00:33. > :00:38.make the situation worse in neighbouring Democratic Republic of

:00:38. > :00:42.Congo. And sailing towards the shipyard,

:00:42. > :00:52.the scrapyard, the former flagship of the British Navy leaving the port

:00:52. > :01:06.

:01:06. > :01:10.26 people have been killed and many more injured in a series of car

:01:10. > :01:14.bombings in two major cities. In the port of Basra in the south, there

:01:14. > :01:19.were two explosions at a restaurant and a bus station, both in Shia

:01:19. > :01:24.Muslim areas of the city. In the capital, Baghdad, police a eight

:01:24. > :01:27.bombs went off, again in mainly Shia areas. The attacks are the latest in

:01:27. > :01:33.a surge of violence linked to sectarian tension between Shia and

:01:33. > :01:38.Sunni Muslims. On Friday, at least 60 people died in three bombings in

:01:38. > :01:42.Sunni areas in and around Baghdad. Those bombings, in turn, followed

:01:42. > :01:45.deadly attacks on Shia targets across the country. I was joined

:01:45. > :01:52.from the BBC Arabic service, and I asked whether the bombs in Shi'ite

:01:52. > :01:56.areas of Basra are a new departure. Well, yes, the southern city of

:01:56. > :02:00.Basra was relatively calm for the past couple of months, unlike many

:02:00. > :02:04.other Shia, mainly Shia plants in Iraq. As you said, this is a

:02:04. > :02:09.departure, and a worrying sign indeed, because they are now

:02:09. > :02:16.targeting restaurants. Today they targeted a restaurant in Basra,

:02:16. > :02:21.killing and injuring many people. So the kind of targets is really

:02:21. > :02:27.worrying, which are restaurants, civilian populated areas, and also

:02:27. > :02:31.places of worship, like mosques. have seen, and these are pictures

:02:31. > :02:36.from Basra, but in Baghdad there are similar dreadful scenes in several

:02:36. > :02:42.areas of the city, Shi'ite areas. Well, there have been many more such

:02:42. > :02:47.attacks over the past months in the capital, Baghdad, so this is nothing

:02:47. > :02:53.new. I mean, Iraqis have been living near daily violence, not just over

:02:53. > :03:00.the past couple of months but since 2003, the US led invasion of Iraq,

:03:00. > :03:03.but the worrying sign, again, Nick, I mean such attacks have turned into

:03:03. > :03:10.taking the shape of tit for tat, especially over the last two months.

:03:10. > :03:17.In the past couple of months, since the start of 2013, militants were to

:03:17. > :03:27.blame for targeting Shia areas, but now they are targeting Sunni areas

:03:27. > :03:28.

:03:28. > :03:32.and mosques, life on Friday, a Shia... Two devices exploded outside

:03:32. > :03:37.a Shi'ite mosque, a Sunni mosque in the capital, Baghdad, killing many

:03:37. > :03:41.Sunnis. There is, therefore, a dreadful suggestion that this is

:03:41. > :03:45.going to be returned to the spiral of violence we have seen so often in

:03:45. > :03:48.the past. What is the political analysis of why this is happening,

:03:48. > :03:53.and whether it is making any difference to what is essentially a

:03:53. > :03:58.very difficult problem of politics in Iraq at the moment? Well, the

:03:58. > :04:03.political analysis, I mean, over the past five months, a Sunni minority

:04:03. > :04:10.have been protesting in sunny areas against the Shia-led government of

:04:10. > :04:14.Nouri, the. -- Nouri Al-Maliki. The political crisis has reached a

:04:14. > :04:20.stand-off, despite the fact that the government has provided or has made

:04:20. > :04:24.some concessions, like freeing prisoners, increasing salaries, but

:04:24. > :04:28.the underlying issues of bitterness and discrimination which the Sunnis

:04:28. > :04:34.are complaining seems not to been addressed yet, and another fact, I

:04:34. > :04:42.mean it is a regional fact, to be honest, is the Syrian uprising, or

:04:42. > :04:47.the Syrian conflict. I mean, the Sunni minority seem to be emboldened

:04:47. > :04:54.by the uprising in Syria next door, and they are building up their

:04:54. > :04:58.protests day in and day out against the Shia government.

:04:58. > :05:00.Afghanistan, the Taliban are claiming responsibility for suicide

:05:00. > :05:06.attacks in northern Afghanistan. A prominent local politician is among

:05:06. > :05:10.the dead, and police said a man wearing a military uniform detonated

:05:10. > :05:14.a bomb vest as he entered the municipal council headquarters. At

:05:14. > :05:17.least ten people died, one was the head of the provincial council known

:05:17. > :05:19.to take a tough stance against the Taliban.

:05:20. > :05:24.Dozens of fighters are reported to have been killed in a fierce battle

:05:24. > :05:27.over a rebel stronghold in Syria. State media says government forces

:05:27. > :05:32.have recaptured most of Qusair, which is close to the Lebanon

:05:32. > :05:36.border. The rebels deny that, saying they destroyed four Syrian army

:05:36. > :05:40.tanks. There are reports Hezbollah militants from Lebanon are now

:05:40. > :05:43.involved, with Hezbollah supporting government troops, and some are said

:05:43. > :05:50.to have been killed. Here is Richard Forrest.

:05:50. > :05:53.An airstrike on a rebel stronghold. This footage released on social

:05:53. > :05:58.media appears to show Syrian government forces fighting to take

:05:58. > :06:02.back control of the town of Qusair. On the ground, Hezbollah militants

:06:02. > :06:10.from Lebanon are said to be helping President Assad, a sign that the

:06:10. > :06:13.conflict may be spilling over the border. Now the aid agency Oxfam has

:06:13. > :06:18.warned that the hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees who

:06:18. > :06:22.poured into camps like this one in Jordan are facing an urgent health

:06:22. > :06:26.risk as temperatures rise in the region. The refugees keep coming.

:06:26. > :06:34.The United Nations says the number could reach 3 million by the end of

:06:34. > :06:37.the year. So far, there has been over 1.5 million Syrians who have

:06:37. > :06:43.now contacted UNHCR for support protection in the countries

:06:43. > :06:49.surrounding Syria. We are seeing that number increased by 10,000 plus

:06:49. > :06:53.per day, and we see no let up inside. President Assad has made

:06:53. > :06:59.clear there will be no letup in his hold on power. In an interview with

:06:59. > :07:03.an Argentine newspaper, he said he has no intention of stepping down.

:07:03. > :07:07.The country is suffering from a crisis right now, he says, and the

:07:07. > :07:11.captain does not flee his ship during a storm. With more

:07:11. > :07:15.information due to emerge this week about peace talks planned by the

:07:15. > :07:21.United States and Russia next month, world powers had hoped to put a stop

:07:21. > :07:26.to the storm that is raging here. President Assad has poured scorn on

:07:26. > :07:30.negotiations, making the prospect of a peace deal a remote one.

:07:30. > :07:34.Well, I asked Jim Muir in Beirut about the significance of Hezbollah

:07:34. > :07:40.forces from Lebanon now apparently supporting Syrian government troops

:07:40. > :07:43.inside Syria. Well, certainly we know that Hezbollah fighters have

:07:43. > :07:49.been active in the Qusair area. There are a number of Shi'ite

:07:49. > :07:55.villages which are originally populated by letter nice -- Lebanese

:07:55. > :07:59.Shi'ites. Whether they are actually involved alongside Syrian army

:07:59. > :08:02.forces, breaking into Qusair, we cannot document, but it would not be

:08:02. > :08:09.surprising because they are increasingly involved and committed

:08:09. > :08:13.on the side of the government. Converse league, there are, in fact,

:08:13. > :08:17.hundreds of sunny Lebanese fighters, militants from Tripoli who are

:08:17. > :08:21.believed to be fighting alongside the rebels in Qusair. So you could

:08:21. > :08:25.say that the Lebanese divisions have been transplanted onto Syrian soil,

:08:25. > :08:28.but there is a sort of basic understanding among the Lebanese

:08:28. > :08:36.that they will not carry that my back into Lebanon, although it has

:08:36. > :08:40.spilled over import in areas -- over in border areas and Tripoli itself,

:08:40. > :08:47.but it has not had a major effect in terms of provoking large-scale

:08:47. > :08:49.violence in Lebanon. But what about the fact that it appears that Syrian

:08:49. > :08:56.troops need Lebanese Hezbollah to support them and give them extra

:08:56. > :09:03.firepower. I do not think it is a question of firepower, the army has

:09:03. > :09:07.got massive firepower at its disposal. It is more about skill in

:09:07. > :09:12.Street fire -- streetfighting, which Hezbollah has got a lot of, the kind

:09:12. > :09:15.of skills they need to winkle out a determined opposition. I do not

:09:15. > :09:18.suppose that Hezbollah is absolutely instrumental. Obviously, the

:09:18. > :09:23.opposition are playing up that line, but the extent to which they are

:09:23. > :09:26.taking part we simply do not know, but they are involved in that area.

:09:26. > :09:31.Exactly how much they are taking part in this current battle on the

:09:31. > :09:34.ground into is itself, we cannot really document. But, Jim, when you

:09:34. > :09:38.look at this happening at the moment, how can we project is

:09:38. > :09:42.forward, given that the Syrian troops and the Syrian government may

:09:42. > :09:49.want to seize back other areas which are currently more under Syrian

:09:49. > :09:52.rebel control? Well, this is certainly just part of the broader

:09:52. > :09:56.picture, which is that the government is already hitting back

:09:56. > :10:00.very strongly in many areas. At the moment, the overall impression is

:10:00. > :10:03.that things have tilted the government's way. That may be

:10:03. > :10:06.temporary, because the rebels are complaining that Qatar have cut off

:10:06. > :10:11.arms supplies that were coming through Jordan, possibly Turkey as

:10:11. > :10:15.well, and Saudis and others likewise may be cutting back, and the

:10:15. > :10:18.impression is that the Americans are turning off the arms tap, possibly

:10:18. > :10:23.in advance of this big conference that is supposed to be happening,

:10:23. > :10:27.probably early in June. But, of course, therefore, if that

:10:27. > :10:29.conference fails and the Americans decide this is the moment to open

:10:29. > :10:33.the floodgates, that picture could change, but at the moment the

:10:33. > :10:38.government has been pushing back the rebels around Damascus itself, where

:10:38. > :10:42.the situation is eased quite a lot. In Homs, they have been making

:10:42. > :10:45.progress. In Aleppo, there is very much disputed territory of there,

:10:45. > :10:49.but there are various areas in the south where the government has been

:10:49. > :10:56.much more assertive and has been making gains against the rebels.

:10:56. > :10:59.Muir in Beirut. Rwanda's president, Paul Kagame, has

:10:59. > :11:03.given a scathing assessment of the UN peacekeeping force in the

:11:03. > :11:07.Democratic Republic of Congo. It has made the situation even worse, that

:11:07. > :11:12.is what he told the BBC. The Rwandan government has itself been accused

:11:12. > :11:16.by the UN of supporting rebels in Congo. Mr Kagame told the BBC that

:11:16. > :11:22.the peacekeepers had done nothing to address the root of the problems.

:11:22. > :11:30.Well, in some cases, it has become worse, because if you see what we

:11:30. > :11:35.had last year, a resurgence of the fighting and tales and displacement

:11:35. > :11:43.of people and so on and so forth. -- fighting and chaos. This came in the

:11:43. > :11:50.forces had been there for nearly a decade, up to a decade. So it is not

:11:50. > :11:56.just making it worse, not making it better, but this time, with what we

:11:56. > :12:04.witnessed last year, the situation is worse. Scathing remarks, but with

:12:04. > :12:09.the African Union showing support for intervention in Congo, does he

:12:09. > :12:14.think they can do better? I think they are trying to say, well, let's

:12:14. > :12:20.structure this differently, maybe we can get different results, but still

:12:20. > :12:29.there are things that do not really add up. If you look at the problems

:12:29. > :12:37.relating to the Congo, they are mainly political. They are not

:12:37. > :12:41.military, or we will not find a solution that is military. We need

:12:41. > :12:49.to back other efforts. But those other efforts seem to be even more

:12:49. > :12:53.important, so the intervention, so to speak, they have encouraged it to

:12:53. > :12:58.happen and supported, and it needs to be co-ordinated properly with

:12:58. > :13:02.political efforts and political solutions, so that this is backing

:13:02. > :13:12.the political solution, rather than just being a solution instead.

:13:12. > :13:18.

:13:18. > :13:22.Paul Pagani of Rwanda speaking with extremist group Boko Haram had been

:13:22. > :13:27.killed and many others were fleeing for the Borders. There has been no

:13:27. > :13:32.independent confirmation of the military account. The BBC's Will

:13:32. > :13:35.Ross is in Abuja. This whole military operation is really taking

:13:35. > :13:40.place in two different environments. On the one hand, there is the remote

:13:40. > :13:44.rural areas of north-east Nigeria, and then the towns which are known

:13:44. > :13:48.to have a significant presence of Boko Haram supporters. Now, the

:13:48. > :13:53.military is telling us that the camps in the rural areas have been

:13:53. > :13:56.hit and the militants have been sent into disarray. We cannot verify any

:13:56. > :14:01.of that information because there has been no evidence to back up what

:14:01. > :14:05.the military is saying so far. The army is telling us that many of the

:14:05. > :14:09.militants are fleeing towards the country's borders. Those borders

:14:09. > :14:15.with Cameroon, Chad Anthony Gerrard notoriously porous, so it is quite

:14:15. > :14:18.easy for them to flee and get away. -- Chad and Niger. We are also told

:14:18. > :14:21.that the Islamist militants have scores of vehicles that they are

:14:21. > :14:26.trying to move, some of them with heavenly weaponry mounted on the

:14:26. > :14:29.backs of them. So that is a sign that the Boko Haram fighters are

:14:30. > :14:33.better resourced than many people had thought. Now, in the urban

:14:34. > :14:39.areas, it is very difficult to get any information, because the turkey

:14:39. > :14:43.was in place, 24 hours in some places, also all mobile phone

:14:43. > :14:46.communication has been cut off, so no information is coming up that

:14:46. > :14:50.way, but there are concerns that the civilians who will be Ben Reade

:14:50. > :14:55.vulnerable to abuse us by the army as the soldiers tried to root out

:14:55. > :15:00.Boko Haram fighters were living amongst the civilian population.

:15:26. > :15:32.described as the most prestigious event of its kind in the world. The

:15:52. > :15:56.into a dream garden... 100 years on it is still looking pretty good.

:15:57. > :16:03.This is the Australian garden, one of the largest gardens in the show's

:16:03. > :16:07.history it has been a history. From the 1913, the number of exhibitors

:16:07. > :16:12.have increased. The show is attracting 150,000 visitors from all

:16:12. > :16:17.over the world. It is no longer the largest flower

:16:17. > :16:21.show in the UK, let alone the world but it is still the most

:16:21. > :16:28.but it is still the most prestigious.

:16:28. > :16:33.Under the canvass are blooms such as... Chelsea' central marquee was

:16:33. > :16:37.one the largest in the world. Faces, and not to mention facial hair have

:16:37. > :16:44.all changed. So has this growing business.

:16:44. > :16:49.The garden has changed a lot in the last few years. It is now the hobby

:16:49. > :16:53.of the common man, really, rather than just something that the gentry

:16:53. > :17:00.could play about with in their big country houses.

:17:00. > :17:04.But in a quiet corner of this cent evenary-inspired garden, it is as if

:17:04. > :17:08.time simply stopped. There is a lot to say in terms of

:17:08. > :17:14.roses. They were very popular in the early part of the last century, they

:17:14. > :17:20.are still now. We have lovely blooms here. We have to put them under

:17:20. > :17:24.heat... Jack is 19, the youngest designer here. As the climate has

:17:24. > :17:29.changed, he told us, so will Chelsea. # It will provide a

:17:29. > :17:34.challenge for the gardens. Drought is another thing to look at and

:18:17. > :18:24.Lebanese Hezbollah militants. China and India have agreed on a

:18:24. > :18:30.roadmap to reach a new dynamic balance on trade. The Chinese

:18:30. > :18:37.premiere met the Indian prime, Manmohan Singh, on his first visit

:18:37. > :18:40.since taking office in March. The visit comes after a flare-up of a

:18:41. > :18:45.long-running border dispute between the countries.

:18:46. > :18:50.Andrew North in Delhi said that the prime said that they do not deny

:18:50. > :18:54.problems between the two sides, especially over the border issues.

:18:54. > :19:00.Let's remember, the tensions between the two Asian giants, the world's

:19:00. > :19:06.most two populous nations go back to 1962, when China launched a

:19:06. > :19:10.devastating surprise attack across the Himalayan frontier, taking large

:19:10. > :19:15.chunks of territory. Ever since they have been been unable to agree the

:19:15. > :19:19.border line between them, despite many rounds of talks. In the current

:19:19. > :19:23.context, although the trade has increased between the two in the

:19:23. > :19:28.recent years, it has helped to bring them closer, right now with the

:19:28. > :19:34.economic downturn in both countries, that is making it harder for any

:19:34. > :19:39.kind of compromise that would be needed to solve the border problems.

:19:39. > :19:47.Andrew, when the Chinese premiere says that they have to improve

:19:47. > :19:53.border-related mechanisms when you have peoples on their territories,

:19:53. > :20:00.these are not just passing issues? Not at all. That is right.

:20:00. > :20:07.Of course, China claims a larger slice of Indian slice of Indian

:20:07. > :20:10.territory in the north-east, while India wants China to return a six of

:20:10. > :20:14.Ladak in the north-west. In the recent years there has been

:20:14. > :20:19.something of an arms race between them. One theory that is doing the

:20:19. > :20:24.rounds here, to explain the recent incursion is that China felt it had

:20:25. > :20:29.to respond to a recent Indian military build-up along the border

:20:29. > :20:33.areas especially near Ladak. So this is something that is going on all

:20:33. > :20:38.the time. Often it does not get much attention it is difficult for anyone

:20:38. > :20:42.to get up there but for all of these reasons, despite the talks of the

:20:42. > :20:51.leaders in Delhi, I suspect that many think there could be more

:20:51. > :20:56.tension, not less. Now, can you imagine who what it would be like to

:20:56. > :21:00.win $490 million on the lottery? A handy addition to the cash in your

:22:16. > :22:23.or a mansion or a holiday, perhaps? Then the luxury yacht I always

:22:23. > :22:28.wanted and the private yet. An investigation by the BBC's

:22:28. > :22:32.Panorama programme into the cover-up after the Hillsborough football

:22:32. > :22:37.stadium disaster, that revealed the evidence that was originally

:22:37. > :22:43.disregarded was in fact true. Viewers may find some of the images

:22:43. > :22:49.in this report, distressing. I think that there maybe a flow in

:22:49. > :22:53.the crowd at the Liverpool, lepings lane end of the crowd.

:22:53. > :22:57.The footage showed how the police mismanaged the crowd from the start

:22:58. > :23:03.at Hillsborough and how the rescue failed more comprehensively than has

:23:03. > :23:09.been admitted. Individuals who spoke out were disbelieved or discredited.

:23:09. > :23:14.People like Derek Bruder, an off duty police PC. Seen here giving the

:23:14. > :23:19.kiss of life to kef kef, the 15-year-old son of Anne Williams,

:23:19. > :23:23.the campaigner who died last month. He told me what he did for my son,

:23:23. > :23:30.Kevin. If you are finding a pulse with the first two fingers. He

:23:30. > :23:34.lifted his hand up with his right hand... If that means he was alive,

:23:34. > :23:39.then he was alive. The photograph was not timed but

:23:39. > :23:44.Kevin Williams was moved to this part of the pitch well after 3.

:23:44. > :23:50.15pm. That is the cut-off point that the coroner decided that the dying

:23:50. > :23:54.could not be saved, but fans believe Kevin lived longer than that.

:23:54. > :23:59.You are looking at people, thinking, obviously my instinct was that this

:23:59. > :24:04.lad needs help. Derek Bruder has always said as he

:24:04. > :24:11.treated Kevin, he saw an ambulance arriving and driving by but the

:24:11. > :24:16.inquest only heard of two ambulance going by on the pitch. Earlier that

:24:16. > :24:20.than Derek Bruder' account. As a sult, his evidence was considered

:24:20. > :24:27.unreliable, but there was a third ambulance that arrived. The

:24:27. > :24:31.ambulance men on board said that the police knew this before Derek

:24:31. > :24:36.Bruder's evidence. They had laid out photographs, they

:24:36. > :24:42.had video evidence. It was them who said to me, I want to show a vehicle

:24:42. > :24:46.coming on the pitch at 3.3 #578. They showed you that? They told you?

:24:46. > :24:50.Absolutely. They had all of the information.

:24:50. > :24:55.Panorama's analysis of the footage reveals this, the exact moment that

:24:55. > :25:00.Derek Bruder goes to help Kevin it is after 3. 30pm, proving he has

:25:00. > :25:02.been right all along. Derek Bruder told the programme he has complained

:25:02. > :25:08.to the Independent Police Complaints Commission about how his evidence

:25:08. > :25:11.was handled. The police say that they will co-operate but cannot

:25:11. > :25:17.comment while the inquiries continue. The Yorkshire Ambulance

:25:17. > :25:22.NHS Trust say it is will co-operate with any new legal inquiries.

:25:23. > :25:27.Now the final trip of a proud flagship, it will end in a scrapyard

:25:27. > :25:32.in Turkey. The British Royal Navy aircraft carrier, HMS Ark Royal is

:25:32. > :25:36.leaving her home port for the last time. Here is our Defence

:25:36. > :25:41.Correspondent, Caroline Wyatt. The Royal Navy's flagship was

:25:41. > :25:46.launched on the River Tyne by the late Queen Mother in 1981.

:25:46. > :25:51.May God protect her and all who sail in her.

:25:51. > :25:58.From 1985 when HMS Ark Royal tennered service, she played a key

:25:58. > :26:02.role in the Balkans conflict along with the herrer jets. Together, a

:26:02. > :26:07.potent project ex-of military might. She served during the invasion in

:26:07. > :26:12.Iraq in 2003, before being decommissioned early in 2011.

:26:12. > :26:16.When you see an old ship of yours being towed out to go to the

:26:16. > :26:20.scrapyard, naturally you feel rather sad about that but you, your

:26:20. > :26:24.reflections are on all of the people that served with you. In my case,

:26:24. > :26:27.the people that served under me. Tremendous people. They are the ones

:26:27. > :26:32.that leave me with a heart-warming feeling.

:26:32. > :26:35.After a final voyage that saw the last harrier fly from the ship, HMS

:26:35. > :26:39.Ark Royal was the highest professional casualty of the

:26:39. > :26:42.Government's defence review of 2010. Taking her out of service and

:26:42. > :26:47.selling Britain's harriers was a move criticised at the time. It

:26:47. > :26:51.leaves the UK unable to launch aircraft from the seas, until the
