:01:12. > :01:16.crackdown on Wednesday. This is the scene at the Rabaa al-Adawiya mosque
:01:16. > :01:19.this morning. Until yesterday, the whole area was filled with
:01:19. > :01:29.protesters. There is still no agreement on exactly how many died
:01:29. > :01:35.in yesterday's violence. We have had a new reported figure coming from
:01:35. > :01:42.the Egyptian Health Ministry, saying at least 525 people died. That
:01:42. > :01:53.number has been writing throughout the morning. But the Muslim
:01:53. > :01:57.Brotherhood puts the number of deaths at more than 2,000. It has

:02:17. > :02:23.forces cracked down on supporters of the ousted President Mohamed Morsi,
:02:23. > :02:26.of the Muslim Brotherhood. The authorities say several hundred
:02:26. > :02:34.people were killed. The Muslim Brotherhood says the number of dead
:02:34. > :02:40.is much higher. The campsites are now being cleared. The government
:02:40. > :02:43.says it is giving the army and police the green light to take
:02:43. > :02:49.measures to protect order and security immediate. A state of
:02:49. > :02:57.emergency has been declared and it will last for a month. Overnight,
:02:57. > :03:02.the curfew was imposed. The streets in Alexandria and other big cities
:03:02. > :03:08.were deserted. The families of the victims are mourning their dead.
:03:08. > :03:13.I pray to God Almighty to stop the bloodshed, we do not want anything

:03:26. > :03:30.announced plans across Egypt's four protests later today and has asked
:03:30. > :03:38.people to gather at large mosques. Many fear the crisis facing the
:03:38. > :03:42.country has just got much deeper. We can now speak to BBC Arabic's
:03:42. > :03:44.Khaled Ezzelarab. He joins us from Rabaa al-Adawiya Square, where the
:03:44. > :03:51.authorities cleared the pro-Morsi camps. Very different picture we get
:03:51. > :03:58.today. Talk us through what you have seen during the morning.
:03:58. > :04:04.Before I came here, I passed by another mosque in this area of
:04:04. > :04:09.town. This is where a lot of the dead bodies were taken in the last
:04:09. > :04:15.couple of hours as the attack became very intense and it became obvious
:04:15. > :04:19.the site of the sitting will eventually fall into the hands of
:04:19. > :04:24.the military. Muslim Brotherhood supporters started to take some of
:04:24. > :04:31.the bodies to that of the mosque. I counted 70 dead bodies this morning
:04:31. > :04:37.and I stopped when I realised it was not even half. At least 150 bodies.
:04:37. > :04:44.Not registered yet in the official count. The problem is that the
:04:44. > :04:50.relatives are fiercely in very bad shape. But even worse is that they
:04:50. > :04:56.are not sure how they can bury their loved ones while getting proper
:04:56. > :05:00.documentation to prove the causes of death. They say of mud hospitals are
:05:00. > :05:08.refusing to give them proper documentation, we cannot confirm
:05:08. > :05:13.their -- they say the hospitals. It is a desperate picture, and it is
:05:13. > :05:18.perhaps replicated across many parts of Egypt's.
:05:18. > :05:23.To what extent does the Muslim Brotherhood want protest against --
:05:23. > :05:30.across the country, or is it focusing on Cairo?
:05:30. > :05:33.They have not announced a plan for demonstrations and the timings and
:05:33. > :05:39.places, but we will find out throughout the day. It is very on
:05:39. > :05:41.Mike Read these protests will pass smoothly without crashes -- it is
:05:41. > :05:53.Mike Read these protests will pass very on Mike Leigh. -- unlikely.
:05:53. > :05:58.Tensions are high after a number of members of the Muslim Brotherhood
:05:58. > :06:02.were killed and I would say some people are calling for blood, I was
:06:02. > :06:07.talking to people who were calling for no peaceful protests from now
:06:07. > :06:13.on. I would not be surprised if things turned pretty nasty during
:06:14. > :06:17.these demonstrations. What is it like in Cairo in terms of
:06:17. > :06:22.military and police presence, is it very heightened? I'm due, it looks
:06:22. > :06:28.as though people are just wandering around. -- behind you.
:06:28. > :06:35.On the way here, most streets were deserted. Most people did not go to
:06:35. > :06:42.work today. There was not in lot of security or military. You can
:06:42. > :06:49.probably see the mosque behind me. This is only the Shell now remaining
:06:49. > :06:56.after the body has been burned. And many of the injured and the dead who
:06:56. > :07:04.were being kept there, many bodies were not taking out in time and so
:07:04. > :07:09.it seems they caught fire. People here are gathering to see what is
:07:09. > :07:15.going on and a lot of work is going on to remove the debris, a lot of
:07:15. > :07:20.smashed cars and cars turned over. But the security and the military
:07:20. > :07:25.here are just here to secure the area. There is no protest going on
:07:25. > :07:30.or coming towards here at this moment.
:07:30. > :07:38.Thank you very much for bringing us on the latest for what is a pretty
:07:38. > :07:42.disturbing scene. China has lodged a strong complaint
:07:42. > :07:44.with Japan, after two of its Cabinet ministers visited a controversial
:07:45. > :07:48.shrine to mark Japan's surrender at the end of the World War II. Several
:07:48. > :07:51.convicted war criminals are among those who are commemorated at the
:07:51. > :07:55.shrine in Tokyo. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe stayed away, but sent a
:07:55. > :07:56.ritual offering to the shrine. The BBC's Rupert Wingfield-Hayes told us
:07:56. > :08:11.why such visits even after 68 years, some in Japan
:08:11. > :08:19.still find it difficult to accept their country lost the second World
:08:19. > :08:22.War. August the 15th, at the shrine is a roll call for every right-wing
:08:22. > :08:27.nationalist group in Japan. The Prime Minister of Japan, Shinzo
:08:27. > :08:33.Abe, did not turn up here today, but more than 100 other senior Japanese
:08:33. > :08:35.politicians did. These men and women say visiting the shrine has nothing
:08:35. > :08:41.politicians did. These men and women to do with politics.
:08:41. > :08:46.Whatever politicians like Shinzo Abe say, this place is deeply political.
:08:46. > :08:55.Until 1945, the shrine was the centre of a court that worshipped
:08:55. > :09:03.the Emperor of Japan as a god. -- culr. And the history Museum still
:09:03. > :09:10.presents a version that denies or ignores what Japanese troops did in
:09:10. > :09:14.China and Korea. That is why that is a problem, but do not tell that to
:09:14. > :09:19.one of the right-wing nationalists outside.
:09:19. > :09:22.It is nothing to do with other countries, the Prime Minister of
:09:22. > :09:26.Japan should visit and express his gratitude to the spirits of the dead
:09:26. > :09:34.soldiers who risk their lives to protect our country. -- who risked.
:09:34. > :09:40.Even many young Japanese no longer accept there is a problem. It may be
:09:40. > :09:45.controversial for Shinzo Abe to visit as a public figure, he says,
:09:45. > :09:50.but as long as he visits as a private individual, there should not
:09:50. > :09:53.be a problem. Most of the tens of thousands of
:09:53. > :09:59.people who braved searing heat today to pay their respects have no
:09:59. > :10:02.political agenda. And Japan is a free country, people here can
:10:02. > :10:09.express themselves however they see fit. But people in China and Korea
:10:09. > :10:14.looking at the seams will say it confirms what they thought, that
:10:14. > :10:17.Japan still find it difficult to face up to the horrors of its past
:10:17. > :10:28.-- looking at these pictures. In Iraq now, and at least 33 people
:10:29. > :10:32.have been killed in a wave of bombings in Baghdad, the latest
:10:32. > :10:35.violence to hit the country. One of the bombs went off near the Green
:10:35. > :10:38.zone, which houses Western embassies the bombs went off near the Green
:10:38. > :10:45.and the Iraqi Parliament. Most of the bombs went off near the Green
:10:45. > :10:55.the explosions targeted mainly Shia Muslim areas. Can you give us an
:10:55. > :11:02.idea as to what has happened here? A series of bombs.
:11:02. > :11:06.From about 8:45am, a series of bombings, we have counted six car
:11:07. > :11:11.bombs and a roadside bomb, went off in six neighbourhoods across
:11:11. > :11:17.Baghdad. Mostly Shia Muslim areas. The death toll is continuing to
:11:17. > :11:22.rise. There have been several enormous degrees of damage to nearby
:11:22. > :11:27.cars, shop fronts and neighbourhoods.
:11:27. > :11:34.Another terrible death toll, what is it like in Baghdad? This feels like
:11:34. > :11:36.a day-to-day occurrence, so getting around and living a normal life, is
:11:36. > :11:43.a day-to-day occurrence, so getting that possible in the capital?
:11:43. > :11:47.To some extent, it is. A lot of people are changing their daily
:11:47. > :11:50.routines are not going out as much, certainly not restaurants in the
:11:50. > :11:55.evening that have been targeted to a high degree. But Iraqis are trying
:11:55. > :12:00.to get on with day-to-day life. I went to the site of one of the
:12:00. > :12:04.bombings today about two hours after the bombing and people were getting
:12:04. > :12:09.on with daily life, shops were opening the again, people were
:12:09. > :12:12.talking, this has become a frustratingly frequent occurrence in
:12:12. > :12:17.Baghdad and Iraqis have been through a lot and they are trying to make
:12:17. > :12:20.the most of it. The Prime Minister has said he will
:12:20. > :12:28.crack down on these militants, but what can he do?
:12:28. > :12:30.They have said they have launched a very big wide-ranging operation,
:12:30. > :12:36.largely in Baghdad and to the West and the North, they say they have
:12:36. > :12:39.arrested more than 800 alleged militants, they have killed dozens.
:12:39. > :12:43.And that is what they going with. militants, they have killed dozens.
:12:43. > :12:49.Lot of analysts saying this does not tackle the root causes of the
:12:49. > :12:54.problem, widespread anger in the Muslim Sunni community, frustration
:12:54. > :13:02.at the government at what they say is the targeting of their community.
:13:02. > :13:10.Stay with us, a lot more to come. It is not just the Mexican hat stands,

:13:39. > :13:43.This was a statement made directly to the judge, the one person who can
:13:43. > :13:49.determine the fate of Bradley Manning. He was emotional at times,
:13:49. > :13:53.apologising profusely, he said he was sorry his actions had heard
:13:53. > :13:58.people, sorry they had hurt the United States. He said at the time,
:13:58. > :14:02.he was dealing with a lot of different issues, some of which
:14:02. > :14:07.continue to haunt him, but those issues were not an excuse for his
:14:07. > :14:11.actions, he realised that. He said that as he looked back on what he
:14:11. > :14:16.did, he realised it was perhaps naive to think that one man could
:14:16. > :14:18.affect such change in the world, he would have been better off working
:14:18. > :14:23.affect such change in the world, he within the system. This is a very
:14:23. > :14:29.different Bradley Manning to the one we saw at the pre-trial hearing when
:14:29. > :14:32.he basically blamed his actions on the bloodlust as he called it of his
:14:32. > :14:38.fellow American soldiers. And he said he wanted to raise awareness of
:14:38. > :14:43.what was going on in Iraq and Afghanistan. It is all part of an
:14:43. > :14:50.effort by the defence to put trade Bradley Manning as a sympathetic
:14:50. > :14:54.character -- to portray. They have looked at his dysfunctional
:14:54. > :14:59.upbringing, his gender identity issues, he was said to have wanted
:14:59. > :15:03.to be a woman since he was very young. And they have tried to
:15:03. > :15:09.portray a much more sympathetic action of the man. Whether it will
:15:09. > :15:15.wash with the judge remains to be seen. She will deliver her sentence

:21:29. > :21:32.United Arab Emirates there has been a statement from the government

:22:08. > :22:15.Arab Gulf. Cacti has been in a position to do what can help the
:22:15. > :22:22.Muslim Brotherhood -- Qatar. They put a lot of money into the Muslim
:22:22. > :22:26.Brotherhood. It has been very damning of events yesterday. It has
:22:26. > :22:32.condemned them. It says there needs to be a peaceful solution to be
:22:32. > :22:36.sought. It is fed the United Arab Emirates would like to see a
:22:36. > :22:40.peaceful solution. The message coming out here is they need to face
:22:40. > :22:45.up to the fact that Mohammed Morsi is not coming back into power and to
:22:45. > :22:50.get on with things and to look at establishing a government to move
:22:50. > :22:54.things forward. As everyone looks at what is going on, to what extent do
:22:54. > :22:57.things forward. As everyone looks at you get a sense that it is having a
:22:57. > :23:03.destabilising influence on the region? I think at the moment we are
:23:03. > :23:06.very much in wait and see mode. Large amounts of money have been
:23:06. > :23:11.pledged from the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait and Saudi to
:23:11. > :23:16.help the army backed government which pushed out Mohamed Morsi. I do
:23:16. > :23:21.not see any signs as yet that that money will be withdrawn. I think the
:23:21. > :23:27.support is quite staunch still. Clearly, as time goes on, we will
:23:27. > :23:30.see what happens. The prevailing mood in the region is so long as the
