:00:16. > :00:20.Fellow with BBC World News. Our top stories. Removed from the shelves,
:00:20. > :00:23.contaminated dairy products after the New Zealand company behind the
:00:23. > :00:28.scare apologises to Chinese customers.
:00:28. > :00:35.A Turkish court has just acquitted 21 suspects in the trial of nearly
:00:35. > :00:39.300 people, including a former army chief accused of plotting a coup.
:00:39. > :00:43.The US extends the closure of 19 embassies in the Middle East and
:00:43. > :00:49.Africa. Plus, and his social media, the new
:00:50. > :00:59.phenomenon is known as phubbing. It means phone snubbing. Is it
:01:00. > :01:10.
:01:10. > :01:15.New Zealand's biggest dairy exporter, Fonterra, has apologised
:01:15. > :01:21.for a contamination scare. The result is a major recall of some of
:01:21. > :01:24.its products. They have been taken off the shelves in a number of
:01:24. > :01:30.countries after a bacteria which can cause botulism was found in
:01:30. > :01:34.some of them. Theo Spierings made the apology in Beijing in China
:01:34. > :01:39.because China is its biggest export market.
:01:39. > :01:44.Another baby milk scare in China. Many parents here turn to foreign-
:01:44. > :01:47.made products by peers ago after a domestic safety scare. But now the
:01:47. > :01:53.latest threat has come from imported products made in New
:01:53. > :01:57.Zealand. It has left people worried. TRANSLATION: My Baby has just been
:01:57. > :02:03.born and we have been using this brand. I felt angry when I saw the
:02:03. > :02:10.news because this could really hurt my baby. We want our baby to be
:02:10. > :02:14.healthy, so I wanted to buy milk powder that we could trust.
:02:14. > :02:18.Zealand's Fonterra, the world's biggest dairy exporters said over
:02:18. > :02:25.the weekend it had found bacteria that could cause botulism in some
:02:25. > :02:29.products. That in turn can lead to paralysis or even death. Fonterra's
:02:29. > :02:33.own brands are not protected, but products it sounds to other
:02:33. > :02:36.countries are. Even its prime minister has been drawn into the
:02:36. > :02:42.controversy about whether the problem should have been spotted
:02:42. > :02:46.earlier. When you have a company that is our largest company and
:02:46. > :02:51.exporter that is the flagship for New Zealand and your whole business
:02:51. > :02:55.is about food safety and quality, you would think they would take
:02:55. > :02:58.such a precautionary due to these things and if it is testing for
:02:59. > :03:03.some reason in an odd way, it would be discarded until they were
:03:03. > :03:09.absolutely sure it was right. That is something the chief executive
:03:09. > :03:15.will have to answer. Company -- Fonterra exports to Malaysia
:03:15. > :03:21.Australia, Thailand, Vietnam, China, Russia, and Saudi Arabia. Several
:03:21. > :03:25.of these companies have begun a recall of the products. The chief
:03:25. > :03:29.executive officer has been trying to limit the damage. In this
:03:29. > :03:36.situation we apologise, we deeply apologise to the people who have
:03:36. > :03:41.been affected by the issue. We guarantee to you that food safety
:03:41. > :03:47.and safety of the people of the Republic of China, and around the
:03:48. > :03:53.world, is our first and foremost interest. So far there have been no
:03:53. > :03:58.reported illnesses as a result of the contamination. But even if no-
:03:58. > :04:06.one falls ill, Fonterra and New Zealand will be counting the cost
:04:06. > :04:11.of this embarrassing episode. Now to Turkey where a court has just
:04:11. > :04:15.acquitted 21 defendants of plotting to overthrow Turkey's Government. A
:04:15. > :04:21.number of other defendants have been found guilty and have been
:04:21. > :04:28.sentenced to up to 20 years in jail. The court is about 70 kilometres
:04:28. > :04:35.west of Istanbul. 275 people were on trial. The verdicts are being
:04:35. > :04:42.handed out one by one. The case is being seen as a key test between
:04:42. > :04:49.the Prime Minister's showdown as secular and military opponents.
:04:49. > :04:54.What details of those who have been found detailed -- giddy or
:04:54. > :04:59.acquitted? We know 21 people have been acquitted. But what I see at
:04:59. > :05:06.the moment and on Turkish TV it shows very heavy sentences. For
:05:06. > :05:12.example, one of the colonels, 47 years in prison. He has been
:05:12. > :05:17.accused of being a member of a group and plotting a coup against
:05:17. > :05:25.the Justice and Development Party. I have seen 32 years in prison for
:05:25. > :05:31.one of the prominent writers and 27 years has been handed over. As I
:05:31. > :05:36.watched the TV I see so many going on, eight years, 10 years, 12 years.
:05:36. > :05:42.There have been many heavy sentences against military officers.
:05:42. > :05:48.Do you know who has been acquitted? We do not know yet, but we know 21
:05:48. > :05:54.people have been acquitted. We do not know whether among them are
:05:54. > :05:59.high-ranking military officers or not. One of the characters are many
:05:59. > :06:06.people are watching is the former chief of the Army. Many people want
:06:06. > :06:11.to see what is going to happen to him. Today he tweeted that this is
:06:11. > :06:16.a political trials and he is innocent. So far no news about him.
:06:17. > :06:20.Finally, here we are about two months into what happens in Gezi
:06:20. > :06:25.Park and Taksim Square and in many other places around the country
:06:25. > :06:29.because of concern about the way this Government is going. Given
:06:29. > :06:35.what you now know and the size of some of their sentences, what is
:06:35. > :06:42.your feeling of what the reaction could be? Again it depends who you
:06:42. > :06:47.are asking. But we know many secular associations, groups and
:06:47. > :06:51.gnashed a list groups are calling on their supporters to come out
:06:51. > :06:56.today in support of the military officers and those people who are
:06:56. > :07:01.being accused of a coup. But it seems the Government is determined
:07:01. > :07:07.to prevent any large gathering and from mid last night many security
:07:07. > :07:11.forces blocked the main road leading to this court and clashed
:07:11. > :07:17.with some protesters who managed to get close to the field with tear
:07:17. > :07:21.gas and water cannon. We have to wait and see, but for sure many
:07:21. > :07:27.people in society are happy to see finally many of those people who
:07:27. > :07:31.are accused of plotting a coup brought to trial. Many people saw
:07:31. > :07:40.the military for many decades as a powerful institution that was above
:07:40. > :07:44.up the there. Thank you from our BBC correspondent in Istanbul.
:07:44. > :07:51.Those verdicts are read out one by one from the top-security prison
:07:51. > :07:56.west of Istanbul. Torrential Moss - - monsoon rains in Afghanistan and
:07:56. > :08:00.western Pakistan have destroyed hundreds of homes. There are
:08:00. > :08:03.forecasts of more heavy rain over the next few days.
:08:03. > :08:10.The US Government is extending the closure of 19 embassies in the
:08:10. > :08:13.Middle East and Africa. That is until 10th August. This is due to
:08:13. > :08:18.fears that Al-Qaeda is panic attacks which are unspecified at
:08:18. > :08:23.the moment. One US senator described the threat as the most
:08:23. > :08:29.serious in recent years. The extended closures are a precaution
:08:29. > :08:34.and not an indication of a new threat. Let's go to the security
:08:34. > :08:40.correspondent from the BBC. What are you making of this? It is clear
:08:40. > :08:45.the US has picked up intelligence through intercepted communications.
:08:45. > :08:50.They believe it is in the final stages of planning probably led by
:08:50. > :08:55.Al-Qaeda in the Yemen. But whilst they are hearing this chapter, this
:08:55. > :08:58.top of an attack, it does not know exactly what the target is. Hence
:08:58. > :09:03.the broad range of closures of embassies across the Middle East
:09:03. > :09:08.will stop a few are re-opening in Afghanistan, but many others will
:09:08. > :09:12.remain closed amidst fears that something is being planned by Al-
:09:12. > :09:18.Qaeda on the Arabian peninsula. What have US senator has been told
:09:18. > :09:24.in the background as they normally would be in a case like this?
:09:24. > :09:31.talked a little about what they had heard. Not about the specifics, but
:09:31. > :09:35.they have been briefed on levels of concern comparable to pre-
:09:35. > :09:40.September 11th. They have been briefed and they clearly consider
:09:40. > :09:44.it credible as serious. This there a possibility of something of a
:09:44. > :09:48.bluff? Chapter has been picked up, but they are not sure what it is
:09:48. > :09:55.about. They want to make clear to Al-Qaeda they know they are up to
:09:55. > :10:01.something. -- chattered. The US appeals it has to take action in
:10:01. > :10:04.terms of closing embassies and it has to justify it. When the US
:10:04. > :10:08.consulate was attacked in Benghazi, it means they are particularly
:10:08. > :10:14.concerned about intelligence of threats to embassies and want to be
:10:14. > :10:19.seen to be doing something. But there is also this feeling that by
:10:19. > :10:23.talking about this you can disrupt a potential plans, you can let Al-
:10:23. > :10:27.Qaeda know that you know what they might be doing and hope they alter
:10:27. > :10:33.their plans or talk about it more, which leads to more intelligence
:10:33. > :10:37.which can be collected and used to stop any potential attack. By the
:10:37. > :10:43.embassy's literally shut down with no personnel on the location?
:10:43. > :10:48.are shut for business, so no people or business or people coming in and
:10:48. > :10:56.no chance for consular access for people getting visas. There is less
:10:57. > :11:01.of a target for the terrorists to attack. Stay with us on BBC News,
:11:01. > :11:09.still to come: Dishing up the world's first of burger grown on a
:11:09. > :11:14.Petri dish. It is about to be revealed. There is little sign of
:11:14. > :11:20.any progress in Egypt's ongoing political crisis. More foreign help
:11:20. > :11:23.is on the way. US senators are expected to hold talks with the
:11:23. > :11:28.interim military authorities and supporters of the ousted President
:11:28. > :11:34.Mohamed Morsi. Tension remains high as the authorities continue to
:11:34. > :11:40.break up sitting demonstrations by supporters of Mr Mosey. Meanwhile
:11:40. > :11:45.they have set a trial date for leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood
:11:45. > :11:49.for colluding in violence which caused the death of eight anti-
:11:49. > :11:55.Morsi demonstrators. The grey, long-eared bat has
:11:55. > :11:58.declined to just 1000 remaining. The species urgently needs greater
:11:58. > :12:04.protection say experts. They only nest in the large roof spaces of
:12:04. > :12:08.old buildings so what is going to happen to them? That is what
:12:08. > :12:12.conservationists are worried about. As the environment around them
:12:12. > :12:16.changed, these bats have been squeezed into a few colonies in the
:12:16. > :12:22.very south of England. They are particular about where they make
:12:22. > :12:26.their homes. The big, tall roof spaces of old manor houses like
:12:26. > :12:31.this one make the ideal roosting site. They are the only structure
:12:31. > :12:36.in the UK where these bats can reset. I have come here to see if I
:12:36. > :12:41.can spot some of these very rare flying mammals. The guide has
:12:41. > :12:47.studied these species for the last five years. The population is
:12:47. > :12:53.estimated at around 1000. It is actually declining and has declined
:12:53. > :12:58.dramatically in the past 100 years. There are only around about 10
:12:58. > :13:05.known colonies of this back. This house is home to one of these
:13:05. > :13:10.colonies. But we have to wait for darkness. There are other species
:13:10. > :13:15.here as well and it is tricky to tell them apart, but the
:13:15. > :13:21.researchers count 15 grey, long- eared bat says leaving the rooster
:13:21. > :13:25.to hunt for insects. They are protected under UK law, but the
:13:25. > :13:29.scientists are calling on land owners, local authorities and
:13:29. > :13:35.natural England to protect the meadows and marshland the animals
:13:35. > :13:45.need to forage. This is they say the only way to ensure these little
:13:45. > :13:46.
:13:46. > :13:53.wind mammals do not disappear from the country completely. You are
:13:53. > :13:55.with BBC World News. The headlines: The chief executive of the New
:13:55. > :13:59.Zealand dairy company Fonterra has apologised for the possible
:13:59. > :14:03.contamination of some of its milk products. A Turkish court has
:14:03. > :14:09.started to sentence nearly 300 defendants accused of plotting to
:14:09. > :14:14.overthrow the Government. 21 have been acquitted so far. No verdict
:14:14. > :14:22.yet on a four armed services commander, but there are heavy
:14:22. > :14:25.charges and verdicts against a number of people already. Now to
:14:25. > :14:29.Morocco where the king has rescinded his pardon of a convicted
:14:29. > :14:34.Spanish paedophile jailed for raping 11 children. His
:14:34. > :14:38.announcement came after protests were held in front of Parliament.
:14:38. > :14:44.Danielle Fina was convicted two years ago and given a 30 year
:14:44. > :14:47.prison term for raping 11 children aged between four and 15. The King
:14:47. > :14:52.said he would never have allowed the release it the yet known the
:14:52. > :14:57.full facts and has ordered an investigation into the case. It is
:14:57. > :15:04.the first time a Moroccans a friend has reversed a pardon. I am joined
:15:04. > :15:09.by the editor of a magazine and a columnist on North African affairs.
:15:09. > :15:15.Is it possible the King agrees a pardon, but does not know the
:15:15. > :15:21.details? I think initially he did not know the extent of the upheaval.
:15:21. > :15:24.I think it was later on that he was informed about the protests and
:15:24. > :15:29.this is not a political protest. This is a social protest and these
:15:29. > :15:33.are the people who are defending their own children. As a father
:15:33. > :15:43.himself he had to react to that immediately when he got all the
:15:43. > :15:43.
:15:43. > :16:26.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds
:16:26. > :16:29.with people - even when they're talking to you? It's this. Using
:16:29. > :16:33.your mobile phone, taking messages or sending them and ignoring anyone
:16:33. > :16:36.who thinks they have your attention. This is phubbing. It is an amalgam
:16:36. > :16:39.of phone and snubbing. A "stop phubbing" campaign that began in
:16:39. > :16:44.Australia is now spreading. I asked etiquette expert, Liz Brewer, if it
:16:44. > :16:51.amounts to bad manners. It has crept into our lives, the fact that you
:16:51. > :16:55.can connect and tweaked, go onto the Internet, send a photograph etc, it
:16:55. > :17:05.is an interruption and it has also become standard that you arrive at a
:17:05. > :17:26.
:17:26. > :17:36.table with friends and down go the partner of Morocco, and now many
:17:36. > :17:36.
:17:36. > :17:41.people have moved to Morocco to try to create some firms and in fact
:17:41. > :17:49.some Spanish have become employed in Morocco, seeking employment because
:17:49. > :17:54.of the high unemployment rate in Spain. Thank you for joining me.
:17:54. > :18:00.Now something rather different. Burgers are made of animals, are
:18:00. > :18:05.they not? Not any more. Scientists have grown one from stem cells taken
:18:05. > :18:09.from a dead cow. Our science correspondent has had exclusive
:18:09. > :18:11.access to the laboratory in the Netherlands where a new solution for
:18:11. > :18:17.our eating habits has been developed.
:18:17. > :18:23.This man has a plan to feed the world. He's growing meat in his
:18:23. > :18:30.laboratory. Here it is. It is beef, but not as we know it. These pale
:18:30. > :18:35.white circles are strips of muscle and they will be used to make
:18:35. > :18:39.hamburger. Today we will present a hamburger made in the laboratory
:18:39. > :18:45.from cells, and we are doing that because livestock meat production is
:18:45. > :18:51.not good for the environment, is eventually not going to meet the
:18:51. > :18:57.demand of the world, and it is not good for the animals. Layers of stem
:18:57. > :19:07.cells grown from a few cells taken from a cow. These in turn are grown
:19:07. > :19:11.
:19:11. > :19:14.into pellets of muscle tissue. These in turn are assembled to make the
:19:14. > :19:18.world's first laboratory grown hamburger. Food technologists have
:19:18. > :19:23.added breadcrumbs, caramel and saffron, and to make it look right
:19:23. > :19:29.colour they have added beetroot juice. It looks similar to minced
:19:29. > :19:35.beef, and we will know later today if it tastes like it. Why is it
:19:35. > :19:39.important to get it looking like the real thing? I think it is so that
:19:39. > :19:44.consumers will accept it. If it doesn't taste like real meat it will
:19:44. > :19:49.not be popular and it will not be a viable replacement. The price of
:19:49. > :19:53.meat in shops has been steadily rising. Researchers say that meeting
:19:53. > :19:58.this rising demand by rearing livestock will be bad for the
:19:58. > :20:03.environment, and their way, they say, is the only sustainable way to
:20:03. > :20:09.produce meat in the future. An independent study found that
:20:09. > :20:19.laboratory grown beef uses 45% less energy, produces 96% lower
:20:19. > :20:21.
:20:21. > :20:24.greenhouse gases, and requires 99% less land. Food -- this food writer
:20:24. > :20:29.believes natural ingredients are healthier and tastier, and she
:20:29. > :20:34.worries about the growing trend towards processed food. I think it
:20:34. > :20:40.is something we need to investigate but my instinct is that we need to
:20:40. > :20:45.modify how we eat and possibly eat less meat. For the researchers
:20:45. > :20:50.behind the project, if people want to continue to eat meat and for it
:20:50. > :20:54.to be affordable, it'll have to be grown the laboratory. Now something
:20:54. > :21:00.rather different, do you do this when you are with people, even when
:21:00. > :21:10.they are talking to you? Using your mobile phone, taking messages and
:21:10. > :21:10.
:21:10. > :21:17.sending them, and ignoring anyone who has your attention? A "stop
:21:17. > :21:22.phubbing" campaign that began in Australia is now spreading. I asked
:21:22. > :21:28.etiquette expert, Liz Brewer, if it amounts to bad manners. It is to do
:21:28. > :21:32.with being people and having their undivided attention and not seeing
:21:32. > :21:37.their eyes going down and looking to see if there is a tweet coming
:21:37. > :21:43.through, or a message or a photograph. It is giving time to
:21:44. > :21:48.people, and what has happened is that over the years the mobile phone
:21:48. > :21:53.has crept into our lives and at one time it would have been absolutely
:21:53. > :22:02.wrong to put a mobile phone down on the table. Now it seems to be the
:22:02. > :22:07.norm. You are with people, having a meal, and down go their phones.
:22:07. > :22:12.do people do it? Do they feel for an instant they are bored? I think they
:22:12. > :22:16.feel they are missing out on something. Instead of concentrating
:22:16. > :22:22.on the people they are with and focusing on that, it is a feeling of
:22:22. > :22:27.thinking the grass is greener and they are missing out. Is there a
:22:27. > :22:32.better thing going on elsewhere? It is discourteous to the people you
:22:32. > :22:37.are with and downright rude, but it has happened and crept in. What this
:22:37. > :22:46.man in Australia has done has brought an awareness to it and it
:22:46. > :22:51.has come to us, gone to America, so it is worldwide. We are going out of
:22:51. > :22:56.control. What would you say if you knew I was sending a couple of
:22:57. > :23:03.e-mails while I was talking to you? If I was with you right now and I
:23:03. > :23:09.saw you doing that, I would say it is either your phone or it is me.
:23:09. > :23:15.You cannot do two things at once, it means I haven't got your
:23:15. > :23:20.concentration. You meet with people sometimes, they answer a message and
:23:20. > :23:25.they say now what was I saying? They haven't listened to anything you
:23:25. > :23:30.have been talking about. They have not been giving you their
:23:30. > :23:40.concentration. Unless we address it, we are going to spiral out of
:23:40. > :23:42.
:23:42. > :23:51.control. Finally, six BBC correspondents have been comparing
:23:51. > :23:54.the price of their journeys, first our correspondent in Athens.
:23:54. > :24:03.Summertime in Athens means one thing and one thing only, the beach, but I
:24:03. > :24:13.am going to be using this nifty app to call a calf. Thomas, quick as a
:24:13. > :24:20.
:24:20. > :24:26.flash, is here. -- a cab. Getting a taxi in Tokyo is easy, you can stop
:24:26. > :24:36.them pretty much anywhere you like, but then the complexity begins. Rule
:24:36. > :24:48.
