:00:13. > :00:18.BBC World News. Our top stories: Officials in Egypt say at least 40

:00:18. > :00:21.people have been killed at the army opened fire during a protest by

:00:21. > :00:25.supporters of deposed President Morsi.

:00:25. > :00:32.Air accident in the disabling that crashed at San Francisco airport was

:00:32. > :00:38.approaching too slowly. -- air accident investigators.

:00:38. > :00:45.It almost missed landing, but it crashed back. If he had lived, none

:00:46. > :00:48.of us would be here to talk about Pope Francis decries the world's

:00:48. > :00:58.indifference to African migrants during a visit to the island of

:00:58. > :01:11.

:01:11. > :01:14.been widely tipped to become the next president of Egypt, Mohamed

:01:14. > :01:18.ElBaradei, has condemned all violence following the deaths of at

:01:19. > :01:25.least 40 protesters in Cairo this morning. The former nuclear

:01:26. > :01:29.negotiator says Egypt is in dire need of reconciliation. The army

:01:29. > :01:32.says it opened fire because terrorists were attempting to storm

:01:32. > :01:35.a building. The Muslim Brotherhood, on the other hand, says its

:01:35. > :01:39.supporters were fired on without warning, and it has called on

:01:39. > :01:45.Egyptians to rise up against those who it says want to steal the

:01:45. > :01:49.revolution. Jim Muir is in Cairo for us. Jim, as you would expect, very

:01:49. > :01:54.differing accounts, lots of new lines coming in from Cairo in the

:01:54. > :01:57.last few hours, what are the most important developments? Well, I

:01:58. > :02:02.think the important thing really is the impact of all of this. Obviously

:02:02. > :02:06.feelings are running very high, it was already a very polarised and

:02:06. > :02:10.very bitter stand-off, but there were political efforts to try to

:02:10. > :02:14.pull it together, to get agreement and consensus on an interim Prime

:02:14. > :02:18.Minister, for example. You mentioned Mohamed ElBaradei there. But that

:02:18. > :02:22.had already running to problems, and this will be an even bigger

:02:22. > :02:27.problem. Practically, it has derailed those efforts to try to

:02:28. > :02:32.find a political way forward out of this crisis. The country needs to

:02:32. > :02:39.stabilise and try to get some economic progress, because it is in

:02:39. > :02:42.a very dire state. Now, Mr Mallard Paradise itself has said that Egypt

:02:42. > :02:45.is in the direst need of reconciliation, and he called for a

:02:45. > :02:49.full investigation into the shootings. We are hearing that 40

:02:49. > :02:55.people have been killed, there will be funerals, more passion, more

:02:55. > :02:57.feelings rising, more bitterness and so on. And of course the Muslim

:02:57. > :03:03.Brotherhood's political party has called for what it calls an

:03:03. > :03:06.uprising, or at least it has called on people to rise up against efforts

:03:06. > :03:11.by the military to steal, as they put it, the revolution from the

:03:11. > :03:13.people. Feelings are running extremely high, and they have been

:03:13. > :03:18.very much aggravated by what happened in the early hours of this

:03:18. > :03:25.morning. Is this going to be seen as a direct call to violent protest?

:03:25. > :03:29.No, I would say not, and ostensibly not, but that is not to say does not

:03:29. > :03:33.going to happen. They say they are entirely peaceful in their

:03:33. > :03:37.intentions, and there is some video you can see some of their young

:03:37. > :03:41.supporters hurling firebombs. There are one or two bits of footage which

:03:41. > :03:46.show people with guns, at least one or two people with guns mingling

:03:46. > :03:50.with the protesting crowds of Morsi supporters. But they are not really

:03:50. > :03:54.calling for an armed uprising, no. However, they warning it could come

:03:54. > :03:59.to a Syrian style situation if things continue to get worse and if

:03:59. > :04:03.there is no intervention by, I suppose, political parties, but

:04:03. > :04:08.also, looking to the outside world to put pressure on the new powers

:04:08. > :04:12.that be, to try to stop this slide towards what could become some kind

:04:12. > :04:15.of Civil War. That is at least the warnings that are going out, but

:04:15. > :04:22.they are not calling for an armed uprising, at least on the face of

:04:22. > :04:28.it. What outside intervention could there be? We have seen the

:04:28. > :04:31.Salafists saying they are pulling out of talks, struggling to find a

:04:31. > :04:34.interim Prime Minister in this political vacuum. There is a

:04:34. > :04:38.dangerous political vacuum, and this is why there is pressure building up

:04:38. > :04:42.to do something about that. When the Muslim Brotherhood's party, Freedom

:04:42. > :04:45.and Justice Party, called on the outside world, they may be thinking

:04:45. > :04:49.of the Americans, who have leverage over the Egyptian military because

:04:49. > :04:53.they have more than $1 billion pouring into the Egyptian military

:04:53. > :04:57.every year, to try to use that. But as I say, there are lots of voices,

:04:58. > :05:01.people like Mr ElBaradei, and so on, calling for a political solution,

:05:01. > :05:04.saying that violence is not the way forward. So there will be a lot of

:05:05. > :05:08.efforts going on behind the scenes to try to pull it back from the

:05:08. > :05:13.brink, really, and try to find some formula to pull the Muslim

:05:13. > :05:16.Brotherhood back into the political fold, framework, because at the

:05:16. > :05:20.moment they may not be a majority in the country, but they have a lot of

:05:20. > :05:24.support, and when blood is shed like this, obviously support tends to

:05:24. > :05:29.grow, because people wield very strong outrage about the killing of

:05:29. > :05:34.people in the streets of Cairo. Thanks very much, Jim Muir.

:05:34. > :05:39.It has emerged that the pilot of a passenger jet which crashed at San

:05:39. > :05:43.Francisco airport was being trained in how to fly a Boeing 777. The

:05:43. > :05:48.pilot was highly experienced, but he had less than 50 hours flying time

:05:48. > :05:52.on a 777 and had never landed one at San Francisco before. 108 people

:05:52. > :05:57.were injured and two died. The other bodies are investigating whether at

:05:57. > :06:04.least one person was run over by an emergency vehicle. -- the

:06:04. > :06:06.authorities. Peter Bowes reports. It is miraculous that 305 out of the

:06:06. > :06:11.307 passengers and crewmembers on board this plane managed to escape

:06:11. > :06:15.with their lives. Survivors of the crash have been reliving the moment

:06:15. > :06:21.that the Boeing 777 crash landed and skidded to a standstill at San

:06:21. > :06:25.Francisco airport. It was this belief, a bit of chaos, but I think

:06:25. > :06:29.we managed to get everyone to calm down quickly and started getting

:06:29. > :06:37.out, not pushing each other and stepping on each other. So it felt

:06:37. > :06:42.like it went really fast. It was a pretty hard kind of landing. You

:06:42. > :06:47.know, there was a load my eyes and the whole plane shook. Something

:06:47. > :06:53.terrible had gone wrong. -- a loud noise. 19 people in hospital, six

:06:53. > :06:56.critical. The two teenage girls who died were Chinese nationals.

:06:56. > :07:00.According to education authorities in China, at least 70 students and

:07:00. > :07:05.teachers were on the plane heading to summer camp in the US. Because of

:07:05. > :07:11.the crash still is not known, but airline says it does not believe

:07:11. > :07:16.there was a mechanical failure. -- the cause. TRANSLATION: We bought

:07:16. > :07:21.this plane in March 2006, so we acknowledge there were no problems

:07:21. > :07:24.with the plane or its engines. The three pilots of veterans with

:07:24. > :07:29.experience of more than 10,000 flight hours.

:07:29. > :07:32.Human error has not been ruled out. The pilots will be the focus of an

:07:32. > :07:35.investigation by the American transport safety board. Officials

:07:35. > :07:41.from the federal agency have been combing through the records. They

:07:41. > :07:44.have also examined the black boxes. Preliminary findings from the flight

:07:44. > :07:49.data recorder show that the aeroplane was travelling

:07:49. > :07:56.significantly below its target speed as it was coming into land.

:07:56. > :08:06.approach proceeds normally as they descend. There is no discussion of

:08:06. > :08:12.any aircraft anomalies or concerns with the approach. A call from one

:08:12. > :08:19.of the crewmembers to increase speed was made approximately seven seconds

:08:19. > :08:22.prior to impact. And 1.5 seconds before impact, someone can be heard

:08:22. > :08:28.on the cockpit voice recorder calling for the landing to be

:08:28. > :08:34.aborted. Well, there has been another plane

:08:34. > :08:39.crashed in the US, this time in Alaska. Police say an egg taxi

:08:39. > :08:42.crashed at Soldotna airport, killing all ten people on board. It is

:08:42. > :08:48.thought to have been taking off when the accident happened.

:08:48. > :08:51.The death toll in a town in eastern Canada devastated by the explosion

:08:51. > :08:56.of a runaway oil tanker train is expected to rise significantly

:08:56. > :09:00.today. Fire crews are only now reaching the hardest hit areas more

:09:00. > :09:04.than two days after the disaster. Five people are reportedly killed,

:09:04. > :09:09.but 40 are still missing in the town of Lac-Megantic in the province of

:09:09. > :09:13.Quebec. Matt Ruby reports. Smouldering debris, worrying

:09:13. > :09:17.questions, how did the train, consisting of five locomotives and

:09:17. > :09:22.more than 70 oil tanker wagons, break loose and plummet into the

:09:22. > :09:27.lakeside town? Dozens of people are still missing as firefighters cool

:09:27. > :09:32.the rubble, the first images of the scale of the tragedy emerging. Each

:09:32. > :09:37.one of these tankers contained tens of thousands of litres of oil. The

:09:37. > :09:43.devastation unleashed is plain to see. Buildings were incinerated, a

:09:43. > :09:46.bustling community transformed into a wasteland. The Canadian Prime

:09:46. > :09:54.Minister, Stephen Harper, came to see for himself the scale of the

:09:54. > :09:58.destruction. You know, it looks like a war zone here. The... A large part

:09:58. > :10:01.of the downtown has been destroyed, it is really just terrible. There

:10:01. > :10:06.has been loss of life, as we all know, and there are still many

:10:06. > :10:16.people missing. This was the moment the centre of Lac-Megantic

:10:16. > :10:21.

:10:21. > :10:24.disappeared below a firewall. the blaze. Acrid smoke engulfed the

:10:24. > :10:30.area. At least 30 buildings had been destroyed including a bar crowd with

:10:30. > :10:34.customers. Eyewitnesses told of flowing rivers of fire. A church

:10:34. > :10:38.stands out in defiance to the billowing smoke. Local people are

:10:38. > :10:42.only now coming to terms with the catastrophe. Around 2000 people have

:10:42. > :10:47.been evacuated for safety. The rail company says it is mystified, the

:10:47. > :10:53.train was part 13 kilometres away with it breaks safely applied. More

:10:53. > :10:59.questions for the investigators. In India, at least ten people have

:10:59. > :11:02.been killed after a two story hotel collapsed in the southern city.

:11:02. > :11:08.Police have said a further 15 people were injured when the building came

:11:08. > :11:11.down. Rescue workers have been using diggers to pull out people who were

:11:11. > :11:16.trapped under the debris. The reason for the collapse is not yet known

:11:16. > :11:20.but local officials said it was quite an old building.

:11:20. > :11:30.Stay with us on BBC World News, still to come: As Spain's economy

:11:30. > :11:32.

:11:32. > :11:36.declines, so does the population, as Once it was the American dream, but

:11:36. > :11:39.now it is the Chinese dream - the Chinese middle class is growing, but

:11:39. > :11:42.in a society often based on having the right connections, it is easier

:11:42. > :11:52.for some people do make it than others. Chief business correspondent

:12:08. > :12:14.Chinese outlaws, but they are the Chuanbang motorcycle club. Talk

:12:14. > :12:18.about the Chinese dream, these guys have achieved it, they are rich.

:12:18. > :12:24.Andy, Tommy Harmony motorbikes you have. At the moment I have got

:12:24. > :12:30.four, and I have got another one on the way. All right, tell the truth,

:12:30. > :12:39.you are rich, you have made it, this is the Chinese dream. Chinese dream,

:12:39. > :12:44.yes. Can I get a ride?No problem! OK, now I am going to find out what

:12:44. > :12:48.these guys, the guys who have made it, where they go and hang out. All

:12:48. > :12:54.right, I am off in search of the good life. And I am holding on

:12:54. > :13:00.tight. These guys, they mostly speak English, they have the right

:13:00. > :13:05.connections, they come from the right families. Looking at all these

:13:05. > :13:08.people around here, a lot of people would love to have what you have,

:13:08. > :13:14.they are taking pictures of your bike. Do you think that they could

:13:14. > :13:18.achieve that? Sure, definitely. I always believe that you appreciate

:13:18. > :13:23.what you have and work hard for something you desire. The thing,

:13:23. > :13:29.though, that some people may find that because they have the luck, or

:13:29. > :13:35.they are from the country side, it is harder for them? Well, to be

:13:35. > :13:44.fair, it is, it is, because of education and also the background,

:13:44. > :13:51.the connections. But still, now China is a great potential market,

:13:51. > :13:56.it is very open to the world, and everybody has got a fair chance. It

:13:56. > :14:00.is just that we are all starting at a different start line. Thank you

:14:00. > :14:08.very much, Andy, great bike, great company, banks for taking me on the

:14:08. > :14:11.back. My pleasure. This is BBC World News, I am Geeta

:15:33. > :15:37.revolution belongs to the free people of the Egyptian army.

:15:37. > :15:47.They would not use it against Egyptians. You know what the other

:15:47. > :15:49.

:15:49. > :15:53.army did to them? They killed them. They considered us criminals. We are

:15:53. > :15:59.used to seeing this in Syria. But the militia want to bring back

:15:59. > :16:03.military rule in Egypt, but the free men refused to shoot people, and

:16:03. > :16:11.this is their live ammunition. You can compare the ammunition that was

:16:11. > :16:21.used against the ordinary people of Egypt. They did not want to shoot

:16:21. > :16:25.

:16:25. > :16:29.their Egyptian brothers. These are the slaves who have shot their

:16:29. > :16:36.brothers and killed them while they were praying. They were not doing

:16:36. > :16:46.anything, just praying, train to their Lord to save them from the

:16:46. > :17:08.

:17:08. > :17:17.bullets. TRANSLATION: May the martyrs rest in peace, . I wanted to

:17:17. > :17:27.show the whole world what the militia have done to the people. His

:17:27. > :17:37.blood is sustaining this camera. The Egyptian people cannot believe the

:17:37. > :17:49.

:17:49. > :17:52.lies of the militia. He was trying to convey the truth.

:17:52. > :17:56.We are going to live that press conference there. That was the Front

:17:56. > :18:00.for Supporting Legitimacy, part of the Muslim Brotherhood. Many of the

:18:00. > :18:03.leadership are still being detained, but there are number of

:18:03. > :18:07.different factions within the Brotherhood who have been

:18:07. > :18:12.communicated. They are saying down with Al-Sisi, the head of the Army,

:18:13. > :18:16.saying Al-Sisi is a criminal, pointing to a camera and bullets

:18:16. > :18:22.which they say were fired by the army and people were doing nothing,

:18:22. > :18:26.just praying. One of our other correspondence in Cairo has also

:18:26. > :18:29.said that there are fears that Egypt is on the brink of a devastating

:18:29. > :18:36.civil conflict, with heavy loss of life already and more violent

:18:36. > :18:41.inevitable. All hope of political dialogue is evaporating.

:18:41. > :18:46.We move now to the Pope. Bob Francis is making his first official trip

:18:46. > :18:52.outside Rome today. The Pope has commemorated African migrants who

:18:52. > :18:55.have drowned at sea, tried to reach Europe. On a visit to the Italian

:18:56. > :19:00.island of Lampedusa, you boarded a coastguard boat and sailed out from

:19:00. > :19:04.the harbour, accompanied by dozens of other craft. The Pope through a

:19:04. > :19:08.wreath of yellow and white flowers, the colours of the Vatican, into the

:19:08. > :19:13.sea and prayed in silence. I spoke to our Rome correspondent and asked

:19:13. > :19:19.him why the Pope chose Lampedusa is the place for his first official

:19:19. > :19:26.trip outside Rome as Pope. It is a quick trip. He will be back in Rome

:19:26. > :19:29.by lunchtime. He wanted to show solidarity with the Africans who for

:19:29. > :19:35.years have been trying to cross the editor Roni and to reach the shores

:19:35. > :19:38.of Europe and start a new life here. Without documents, they often

:19:39. > :19:45.end up in an Italian reception centre in conditions of extreme

:19:45. > :19:51.misery. The Pope feels that this is a story which has been neglected not

:19:51. > :19:58.only by the church, but by the media, and he is happy that the

:19:58. > :20:02.media are present data show the extent to which the people of

:20:02. > :20:09.Lampedusa have had to adapt to this influx of Africans who have in

:20:09. > :20:12.arriving for years. Many of them have drowned along the way.

:20:12. > :20:16.China's new president Xi Jinping made fighting corruption one of his

:20:16. > :20:20.top priorities, and now that ledge is beginning to yield results. The

:20:20. > :20:24.country's former Railways Minister, Liu Zhijun, has been given a

:20:24. > :20:29.suspended death sentence after being convicted of robbery and abuse of

:20:29. > :20:34.power. China's state news agency says he took more than $10 million

:20:34. > :20:39.in bribes over two decades. He was once one of the most powerful

:20:39. > :20:43.men in China, but now he is a prisoner of the state. Liu Zhijun

:20:43. > :20:48.was hailed as a father of china's high-speed rail network. Seen as a

:20:48. > :20:51.symbol of the country's dazzling development, the project is now

:20:51. > :20:58.mired in corruption. The former Railways Minister was found guilty

:20:58. > :21:00.of taking millions of dollars of bribes. He received payments in

:21:00. > :21:05.return for giving associates lucrative contracts. China's

:21:05. > :21:10.high-speed rail network is the longest in the world. Built at

:21:10. > :21:15.breakneck speed, it cost billions of dollars. But two years ago, a deadly

:21:16. > :21:21.crash triggered a public outcry. 40 people were killed after two trains

:21:21. > :21:26.collided. The public accused authorities of a cover-up. They also

:21:26. > :21:30.blame corruption for compromising safety. Since taking power,

:21:30. > :21:35.president Xi Jinping has vowed to crack down on corrupt officials. He

:21:35. > :21:39.has warned that corruption threatens the Communist Party's whip on

:21:39. > :21:46.power. The former Railways Minister has now received a suspended death

:21:46. > :21:53.sentence. The president will hope that sentence sends a signal, but it

:21:53. > :21:57.may do little to reassure a deeply sceptical public.

:21:57. > :22:00.A coroner in Singapore has ruled that an American engineer who was

:22:00. > :22:03.found hanged in his apartment last year committed suicide. Shane Todd

:22:03. > :22:08.had been working for Singapore's Institute of microelectronics. His

:22:08. > :22:15.family believe he was murdered because of his work, which had both

:22:15. > :22:19.civilian and military implications. The verdict of suicide in this court

:22:19. > :22:25.was, as Shane Todd's parents predicted, a foregone conclusion.

:22:25. > :22:30.They had sought to show that their son had not killed himself, but died

:22:30. > :22:36.due to foul play. I could show you more. The literature on his neck.

:22:36. > :22:42.They allege that he was killed due to a project he did here at the

:22:42. > :22:45.Singapore Institute of Microelectronics, a claim the firm

:22:46. > :22:50.denies. The case took a dramatic turn when his parents walked out of

:22:50. > :22:53.the inquest in its second week, saying they no longer had confidence

:22:53. > :22:58.in the system. During the inquest, their key witness, a medical
