:04:59. > :05:03.Now, a British warship has set sail from its port in southern England
:05:03. > :05:06.for Gibraltar, and it is due to dock there within a week. Britain and
:05:06. > :05:10.Spain are locked in a dispute over the status of the territory and
:05:10. > :05:14.nearby waters, but the Ministry of defence he in the UK says the
:05:14. > :05:21.deployment is routine. Spain is also considering taking the issue to the
:05:21. > :05:26.unaided nations. The BBC's Tom Burridge in Barcelona confirms that
:05:26. > :05:31.the press reports are true there was a story in a Spanish newspaper
:05:31. > :05:34.saying that Spain was considering taking the UCU of Gibraltar to the
:05:34. > :05:37.unaided nations. And we have just spoken to the
:05:37. > :05:43.Foreign Ministry who have confirmed that Spain is considering doing
:05:43. > :05:48.that. Also, interestingly, considering talking to Argentina.
:05:48. > :05:54.The Spanish Foreign Minister is due to meet his Argentinian counterpart
:05:54. > :05:59.next month. Of course, Argentina disputes the British sovereignty of
:05:59. > :06:04.the Falkland Islands, and Britain and Argentina went to war over that
:06:04. > :06:08.territory. So Spain is saying, essentially, that it is considering
:06:08. > :06:13.not only talking to Argentina, the spokesman in the Foreign Ministry in
:06:13. > :06:18.Spain said to me that the Falkland Islands, or Las Malvinas, as they
:06:18. > :06:21.are node in Spanish, is a different case, but he says that there are
:06:21. > :06:26.similarities, and therefore Spain is considering this is a dab a degree
:06:26. > :06:30.course of going to Argentina for some kind of common front and then
:06:31. > :06:38.taking the issue of Gibraltar to the United Nations. -- a diplomatic
:06:38. > :06:44.recourse. And what would that mean, taking it to the UN? Well, Argentina
:06:44. > :06:48.currently has a nonpermanent seat on the Security Council, so that would,
:06:48. > :06:52.through Argentina, Spain would be able to essentially put a resolution
:06:52. > :06:56.in front of the UN Security Council. Britain, of course, is one
:06:56. > :06:59.of the five permanent members of the Security Council, so it can veto any
:06:59. > :07:03.resolution put in front of it, and that would be likely. In terms of
:07:03. > :07:07.what this would mean in practical terms, maybe further down the line
:07:07. > :07:13.not very much, but its main does carry through with this, I think it
:07:13. > :07:17.would be a further deterioration of relations over the issue of the
:07:17. > :07:21.British territory of Gibraltar, which sits at the very southern tip,
:07:21. > :07:25.neighbouring southern Spain. I was there all last week, and the dispute
:07:25. > :07:30.goes back to this dispute over the waters. Spain feels that it could
:07:30. > :07:36.take the issue to the United Nations, not only about the waters,
:07:36. > :07:39.but also it has a dispute over the stretch of land that links the Rock
:07:39. > :07:45.of Gibraltar, this small British territory, and there is a small
:07:45. > :07:49.stretch of land that joins it to the Spanish mainland, and Spain disputes
:07:49. > :07:55.sovereignty, in particular, that stretch of land. So I think, you
:07:55. > :07:59.know, what we are seeing here is Spain actually ratcheting up the
:07:59. > :08:03.language to a certain extent, and talking about the uncomfortable
:08:03. > :08:09.possibilities with, you know, what is a very good ally, otherwise,
:08:09. > :08:14.within the European Union. Britain and Spain are obviously key allies
:08:14. > :08:17.within the European Union, and they get on very well, apart from on the
:08:17. > :08:21.issue of Gibraltar. In Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe has given
:08:21. > :08:25.his first public speech since he won the disputed presidential election.
:08:25. > :08:30.Alastair Leithead is in Johannesburg. You have been
:08:30. > :08:33.listening in, what has he been saying? Well, yes, it is the first
:08:33. > :08:38.speech she has given since the election, as you say. He was talking
:08:38. > :08:43.for 40 minutes in a mixture of languages. Some of the key lines
:08:43. > :08:47.were, to begin with, focused against the MDC, the opposition in
:08:47. > :08:50.Zimbabwe, basically saying that those opposed to him can go and
:08:50. > :08:55.hang. Morgan Tsvangirai can go and hang was what was tweeted, by the
:08:55. > :08:59.Zanu-PF spokesman who was following the live speech as it was going out.
:08:59. > :09:05.We demonstrated our love from this country on July the 21st, not
:09:05. > :09:07.through the barrel of the gun but through the ballot. He made promises
:09:07. > :09:13.to improve health care, infrastructure in the country,
:09:13. > :09:17.water. He promised to build three new universities as well as part of
:09:17. > :09:22.his speech. He thanked the regional African bodies who came along and
:09:22. > :09:25.observed the elections and gave it, broadly, a clean bill of health. He
:09:25. > :09:33.thanked them for supporting the national efforts. Now, Morgan
:09:33. > :09:36.Tsvangirai decided not to go to the event, to boycott the speech, and
:09:36. > :09:40.instead he issued his own statement ahead of the presidential statement.
:09:40. > :09:44.He, of course is challenging the results of the election through the
:09:44. > :09:54.Constitutional Court. He said, the stolen boat is a major betrayal of
:09:54. > :10:02.
:10:02. > :10:05.our enable right to Bolt. -- our lodged with the Constitutional Court
:10:05. > :10:10.at the end of last week, and today and tomorrow about national
:10:10. > :10:16.holidays, the Constitutional Court. Looking at this complaint later this
:10:16. > :10:20.week, and it has two weeks to make some kind of statement, to respond
:10:20. > :10:24.to those complaints, and then when and if they decide the election went
:10:24. > :10:27.ahead and the result stands, when the official wine or confirmation of
:10:27. > :10:31.the result is put out by the Constitutional Court, within 48
:10:31. > :10:35.hours we will see the inauguration of the President. Or indeed the time
:10:35. > :10:41.will be put aside for a new election to be held. That seems less likely,
:10:41. > :10:45.it does not seem likely that the MDC's challenge to the election
:10:45. > :10:49.result will be upheld by the Constitutional Court.
:10:49. > :10:52.Alastair Leithead, thank you. Staying in Africa, the former US
:10:52. > :10:57.President Bill Clinton has just completed a two of several African
:10:57. > :11:01.countries, visiting countries where his charitable foundation works and
:11:01. > :11:06.admitting the US is playing catch up with China on the whole question of
:11:06. > :11:09.investment in Africa. Our presenter called up with him in Tanzania,
:11:09. > :11:12.where he talked about how to solve some of Africa's problems and
:11:12. > :11:17.whether there might be another Clinton presidential campaign
:11:17. > :11:23.somewhere on the horizon. If the population of the world continues to
:11:23. > :11:27.go up, people will take more things out of the ground. The problem is,
:11:27. > :11:33.there has been too much corruption in who got to do it, what was done
:11:33. > :11:37.with the revenues, and I am only too happy to try to clean that up. If I
:11:37. > :11:42.give a speech about this in Nigeria, to the people who are doing it a lot
:11:42. > :11:46.of times, but people are still going to take that stuff out of the
:11:46. > :11:50.ground, so what we need to do is to set up systems which work better to
:11:50. > :11:56.do that. I would spend the rest of my life doing that, because I think
:11:56. > :11:58.it is a huge threat if it is done wrong and huge opportunity if it is
:11:58. > :12:04.done right. I want to keep doing things that have real opportunities
:12:04. > :12:11.here, and I think the smallholding farmers, making them self
:12:11. > :12:19.sustainable, increasing incomes, two, three, four, five fold, by
:12:19. > :12:22.cutting the cost of production, we can change the world. And life for
:12:22. > :12:31.small holder farmers, that might solve a staggering number of
:12:31. > :12:34.problems. Inevitably, people still want to ask you whether Washington
:12:34. > :12:39.is still left in you, whether there is still one more race to run, and
:12:39. > :12:48.you know I have to ask that question. If I knew the answer, I
:12:48. > :12:54.wouldn't tell you! Happily, I can be honest -- I don't know. I did not
:12:54. > :12:58.know whether I had one more race last time.
:12:58. > :13:07.Bill Clinton, of course, the spec elation will not stop for a while.
:13:07. > :13:11.You can see more of this tour of Africa later in the day.
:13:11. > :13:15.Film director Oliver Stone has spoken out in support of the
:13:15. > :13:19.fugitive American intelligence worker Edward Snowden. Russia has
:13:19. > :13:26.granted one year's asylum to the former NSA contractor whose
:13:26. > :13:31.disclosures triggered massive controversy. He is a hero to me,
:13:31. > :13:34.Snowden, because he did is not for profit, not to give secrets away to
:13:34. > :13:39.make them hurt our country supposedly, I haven't seen one
:13:39. > :13:43.evidence of that. He's doing it out of conscience, the higher law of his
:13:43. > :13:48.conscience has dictated it. He has sacrificed his life for this. This
:13:48. > :13:52.is big brother in a way that George Orwell could never have foreseen.
:13:52. > :13:56.Obama says, don't worry about it, we are not listening in. Yeah, but you
:13:56. > :14:02.could listen in. Stay with us here on BBC World News,
:14:02. > :14:06.still to come: We had to Rome, where car congestion is a major problem,
:14:06. > :14:14.but the new mayor is trying to put the brakes on their use and ask
:14:14. > :14:17.residents to hop on a bike instead. The first official results from
:14:17. > :14:21.Cambodia's disputed elections in July have been released by
:14:21. > :14:25.authorities. They show a narrow victory for the governing party of
:14:25. > :14:30.the Prime Minister. The results have been rejected by the opposition, the
:14:30. > :14:34.National rescue party, which says it won the elections and is calling for
:14:34. > :14:41.an independent investigation into alleged voting fraud. The BBC's
:14:41. > :14:44.south Asia correspondent in Thailand said, when he spoke to me earlier.
:14:44. > :14:48.What they have got is the official election commission's own
:14:48. > :14:52.examination of the results, which has gone on for the past ten days or
:14:52. > :14:55.so. The opposition, as indeed have many human rights group, said the
:14:55. > :14:59.official commission is not good enough to do this. It is a body
:14:59. > :15:04.tightly linked to the ruling cabinet, abetted by the Interior
:15:04. > :15:07.Ministry, so its officials are suspect in the eyes of human rights
:15:07. > :15:10.groups and the opposition. But that body has examined the results and
:15:11. > :15:14.only made the smallest adjustments to the initial preliminary results,
:15:14. > :15:19.so the share of the boat stands more or less where it was with the ruling
:15:19. > :15:24.party around 49% of the vote, and the Cambodian National rescue party
:15:24. > :15:28.close behind with 45%. I think it is because the vote is so close that it
:15:28. > :15:31.has been such an impressive result for the opposition, when you
:15:31. > :15:35.consider that the Prime Minister dominated parliament, and his party
:15:35. > :15:38.had most of the seat at the last election. He has been in office for
:15:38. > :15:42.28 years, so they have come very close to challenging his hold on
:15:42. > :15:45.power, but because it is so close, they say that there is a guarantee
:15:45. > :15:50.is that they have monitored, backed up by a number of international
:15:50. > :15:54.human rights groups, really count. A large number of voters who were not
:15:54. > :15:57.on the official roles and were not allowed to vote. The way in which
:15:57. > :16:00.they say the ruling party officials and members of the military were
:16:00. > :16:03.allowed to vote in places they were not supposed to, plus the immense
:16:03. > :16:07.weight of support that the ruling party has through its total control
:16:07. > :16:11.of the broadcast media. They say all of that adds up to a significant
:16:11. > :16:14.sway to rob them of what these a would have been a deserved
:16:14. > :16:18.opposition victory. So they are not accepting this decision by the
:16:18. > :16:21.commission, and there is a possibility that the opposition may
:16:21. > :16:31.boycott parliament, and that would in effect paralysed politics here

:18:52. > :18:56.followed by an uprising in Islamists and Tuareg rebels. It was eventually

:19:25. > :19:32.protests. A curfew is in force in the town after clashes between
:19:32. > :19:38.Muslims and Hindus left three dead and 20 injured on Friday. Just to
:19:38. > :19:44.remind you, last week along the line of control, five Indian soldiers
:19:44. > :19:50.were killed. India came out very strongly and accused Pakistan's army
:19:50. > :19:54.of violating the cease-fire, breaching the line of control and
:19:54. > :20:01.killing their soldiers. Over the weekend we had this tension in the
:20:01. > :20:09.area called Kishtwar in the southern part of the state. Tensions between
:20:09. > :20:14.Hindus and Muslims after apparently muslins raised anti-India slogans.
:20:14. > :20:19.Three people have died in the last few days and the army is there,
:20:19. > :20:23.trying to calm tensions. There have been several local politicians,

:20:28. > :20:35.don't add to the whole situation, but it is something everyone is
:20:35. > :20:41.watching very closely. Is it clear why this has flared up at this time?
:20:41. > :20:45.It has come up very suddenly and there is some suggestion perhaps the
:20:45. > :20:50.authorities on the ground really didn't expect this and therefore
:20:50. > :20:55.were not fully prepared. Earlier today we had a minister in the local
:20:55. > :21:00.government in Kashmir, Indian administered Kashmir, resigning over
:21:00. > :21:05.the situation. As I mentioned the apparent provocation appeared to be
:21:05. > :21:13.some slogans raised by muslins that led to a confrontation with local
:21:14. > :21:17.Hindus. In the 1990s, in the Valley this was something that led to
:21:17. > :21:22.serious tension between the communities. A lot of Hindus left
:21:22. > :21:29.the area to settle further south so everyone is concerned that this does
:21:29. > :21:32.not lead to some fresh tension which can only inflame passions. A lot of
:21:32. > :21:42.effort has been made to calm temperatures but this has flared up

:22:02. > :22:07.the city. Alan Johnston explains. The very centre of Rome, where there
:22:08. > :22:12.is an endless frenzy of traffic. The eternal rush-hour in the eternal
:22:13. > :22:19.city. They say that all roads lead to Rome and it sometimes feels like
:22:19. > :22:24.that when you lived here. Cars flooding the piazza is. Ancient Rome
:22:24. > :22:30.survived assault by the Barbarians but the modern city has struggled to
:22:30. > :22:35.cope with the invasion by the motorists. Drivers used to race down
:22:35. > :22:40.through the heart of the historic centre, reducing the Coliseum to not
:22:40. > :22:46.much more than a roundabout. One of the world's most famous buildings
:22:46. > :22:53.sitting in a torrent of traffic, in all of those fumes and vibrations.
:22:53. > :22:59.But suddenly there is a very different picture, and new calm has
:22:59. > :23:04.fallen on the ancient arena and it is thanks to this man, Rome's new
:23:04. > :23:09.mayor who has just banished most traffic from the road and he plans
:23:09. > :23:15.to pedestrianise the area completely. I think we need to make
:23:15. > :23:23.a choice. In a place like this, where history is talking to us, we
:23:23. > :23:26.need to make a choice - either cars or the monuments, and my choice is
:23:26. > :23:31.monument. All of that traffic diverted away from the Coliseum has
:23:31. > :23:37.to go somewhere. It has been channelled down these sidestreets
:23:37. > :23:42.and the local residents don't like it. We agree with protecting the
:23:42. > :23:47.Coliseum and the monuments but that cannot be done at our expense. Such
:23:47. > :23:54.a huge amount of traffic and cars and pollution will come to our area
:23:54. > :23:59.and block everything. We fear for our health. The millions of tourists
:23:59. > :24:03.drawn to the Coliseum will love the pedestrianisation plan. On their way
:24:03. > :24:09.to the place where the gladiators fought, they will no longer need to
:24:09. > :24:15.fight the traffic. It does sound like a good idea,
:24:15. > :24:18.doesn't it? Cars and politicians, have a look at this because in
:24:18. > :24:23.Norway the Prime Minister with an election looming has decided to go
:24:23. > :24:29.undercover and become a taxi driver. The idea was to get the views of
:24:29. > :24:39.ordinary people, and he confirmed his identity only when his

:25:28. > :25:32.Herc started scratching records and rapping at a house party in the
:25:32. > :25:36.Bronx, and a new musical genre was born. But some say hip hop's roots
:25:36. > :25:39.go back much further. We went to meet one man who believes just that
:25:39. > :25:41.- the British musician Akala. UK hip-hop artist. Hip-hop is
:25:41. > :25:48.officially 40 years old but that is not the whole story. Let's go deeper
:25:48. > :25:53.into it. We are loving the hip-hop, but are we ready to understand its
:25:53. > :25:57.beyond the stories that keep feeding us the common myth that people
:25:57. > :26:07.started rapping in the 1970s. Let's not pretend there was no foundation
:26:07. > :26:14.to this art because it runs far deeper in our veins, pumping at 100
