:00:11. > :00:16.Hello. I'm David Eades with BBC World News.

:00:16. > :00:19.Our top stories: Tension mounts in Egypt where the Muslim Brotherhood

:00:19. > :00:22.is calling for mass demonstrations - it wants supporters to join a "march

:00:22. > :00:25.of anger", after midday prayers. South Africans are commemorating the

:00:25. > :00:28.first anniversary of the Marikana mine shooting in which 34 striking

:00:28. > :00:31.miners were shot dead by police. Tough talking on asylum seekers from

:00:31. > :00:35.Australia's main political rivals, as election day approaches.

:00:35. > :00:37.And how solar power is finally lighting up people's lives in parts

:00:37. > :00:59.of rural India. Two days after the authorities moved

:00:59. > :01:02.in to break up their protest camps in Cairo, supporters of the deposed

:01:02. > :01:10.President Mohammed Morsi have declared a day of anger. Friday

:01:10. > :01:14.prayers are under way - at the end of them, the Muslim Brotherhood is

:01:14. > :01:17.calling for mass demonstrations. Counter demonstrations are also

:01:17. > :01:20.being planned - and a state of emergency has been declared across

:01:20. > :01:31.the country, with police authorised to use live ammunition in

:01:31. > :01:37.self-defence. Naomi Grimley reports. A battle scarred city, Cairo is

:01:37. > :01:42.still broken and chart after the fighting on Wednesday which saw more

:01:42. > :01:46.than 600 people killed. The dead have been identified and funerals

:01:46. > :01:52.have been taking place. The grief is still raw. But this is a city

:01:53. > :01:56.polarised in opinion. Many residents have differing views about the

:01:56. > :02:00.polarised in opinion. Many residents security operation which removed the

:02:00. > :02:07.supporters of the ousted President Morsi from their barricaded protest

:02:07. > :02:12.camps. TRANSLATION: Our country was facing a group of terrorists, folks,

:02:12. > :02:15.criminals, who have painted a picture for the outside world that

:02:15. > :02:19.they are Islamists with rights and a say in this country. But they are

:02:19. > :02:25.terrorists, thugs, criminals who exploit religion. TRANSLATION: This

:02:25. > :02:29.terrorists, thugs, criminals who sit-in had to be dispersed with out

:02:29. > :02:33.so much bloodshed. The blood is Egyptian, whether it was the police

:02:33. > :02:39.all people, in the end we all Egyptians. -- police or people. They

:02:39. > :02:44.should have been softer with the people and should not have used

:02:44. > :02:49.excessive force. Today's worry is that this clean-up operation may be

:02:49. > :02:55.premature and more violence is yet to come. This was a local government

:02:55. > :03:00.building in Giza, burnt on Thursday by the Muslim Brotherhood. They want

:03:00. > :03:04.Friday to constitute a day of anger. There were counterdemonstrations

:03:04. > :03:06.planned, two, meaning this city is bracing itself form or trouble after

:03:06. > :03:13.Friday players. -- prayers. The bracing itself form or trouble after

:03:13. > :03:16.streets of Cairo were quiet during a second evening curfew last night,

:03:16. > :03:20.part of the state of emergency declared by the military

:03:20. > :03:25.government. There is a sense of foreboding that this was just a

:03:25. > :03:34.temporary lull in Egypt's troubles. We can speak to BBC Arabic's

:03:34. > :03:42.correspondent. Foreboding is perhaps the right word, what is the feeling

:03:42. > :03:46.in Cairo now? Very high tensions. A lot of the roads have been sealed

:03:46. > :03:50.off by the military and the police, including major areas like Tahrir

:03:50. > :03:55.Square which has been sealed off even for pedestrians. You can see

:03:55. > :03:57.reinforcements in different parts of even for pedestrians. You can see

:03:58. > :04:03.the city, especially in the downtown area. It feels very much like the

:04:04. > :04:08.day on January 2011, which was also called a day of rage, when the

:04:08. > :04:14.protesters were able to break the police forces and occupied Tahrir

:04:14. > :04:18.Square and we know what happened, we know the rest of the story. It is

:04:18. > :04:22.different today, the Muslim Brotherhood has set up not only

:04:22. > :04:26.against the police but against the military, significantly, and a large

:04:26. > :04:30.part of the Egyptian population. I know you have seen some pretty awful

:04:30. > :04:33.things in the last 48 hours or so and it is little wonder that many

:04:33. > :04:37.people are extremely angry, upset, and it is little wonder that many

:04:37. > :04:41.frustrated at what has happened in Egypt in the course of that time.

:04:41. > :04:46.Can you see any way in which these demonstrations could pass off,

:04:46. > :04:52.essentially relatively peacefully? Not really. The anger is very high

:04:52. > :05:02.among the Muslim Brotherhood supporters. You can feel it when I

:05:02. > :05:06.visited the areas in the city, in the morgue and the mosque where they

:05:06. > :05:12.were keeping bodies for hours and hours, trying to find a way to bury

:05:12. > :05:16.them with proper documentation. The anger was so-up a lot of them are

:05:16. > :05:22.openly talking about turning into armed resistance to the forces. No

:05:22. > :05:28.more peaceful demonstrations. Whether today will see any kind of

:05:28. > :05:33.armed confrontation between the protesters and the police, it is not

:05:33. > :05:35.clear. We have seen it over the past few days, attacks on different

:05:35. > :05:38.police stations and different few days, attacks on different

:05:38. > :05:44.government buildings, probably a repetition will happen today. It

:05:44. > :05:50.looks almost inevitable that within the next few hours, a lot of people

:05:50. > :05:55.will die and the future of the Muslim Brotherhood will turn more

:05:55. > :05:59.violent. There are calls from the UN Security Council for restraint,

:05:59. > :06:01.President Obama has said we're not having military with Egypt, we are

:06:01. > :06:03.President Obama has said we're not reviewing if we want to carry on the

:06:03. > :06:08.aid. Is any of that touching the reviewing if we want to carry on the

:06:08. > :06:13.sides for the military authorities? Not at all, at least not in an

:06:13. > :06:22.obvious way. On the contrary, the Egyptian authorities are taking a

:06:22. > :06:28.very defiant stance these are the American statements -- defiant

:06:28. > :06:34.stance in regards to American statements. It done is a lot of

:06:34. > :06:36.popularity with people feeling the Egyptian authorities are standing up

:06:36. > :06:40.popularity with people feeling the to American pressure. I don't think

:06:40. > :06:46.much of what the US or the EU will be saying will have an impact. Thank

:06:46. > :06:49.you for bringing us the latest from Cairo on what is able pretty

:06:49. > :07:03.foreboding picture as we look at it. You can monitor events via our

:07:03. > :07:05.website. You'll find the latest video and analysis from our

:07:06. > :07:09.correspondents and hear from many Egyptians and regional specialists

:07:10. > :07:14.as well. For all that and much more just go to bbc.co.uk/egypt.

:07:14. > :07:18.Hundreds of mineworkers have begun gathering in South Africa, to

:07:18. > :07:27.remember their 34 colleagues who were shot dead by police exactly a

:07:27. > :07:28.year ago today. So far no one has been held legally responsible for

:07:28. > :07:32.year ago today. So far no one has those events, and Nomsa Maseko

:07:32. > :07:38.reports, emotions are still running high.

:07:38. > :07:50.Cease-fire! Marikana, a turning point for South Africa. What started

:07:50. > :07:54.out as a strike for better wages quickly descended into a bloodbath.

:07:54. > :08:02.A volley of gunfire from police killed 34 Mineworkers and left 78

:08:02. > :08:06.injured in just a few minutes, the biggest loss of civilian life since

:08:06. > :08:10.the end of apartheid. The massacre made headlines around the world. A

:08:11. > :08:15.year on and nothing has changed here in Marikana. There is not even a

:08:15. > :08:20.memorial for the Mineworkers who were killed here. What remains are

:08:20. > :08:26.these broken wooden crosses. The widows are asking themselves if this

:08:26. > :08:33.is what their husbands died for. This man's husband is one of -- this

:08:33. > :08:40.woman's husband is one of the miners who died. He was the family's sole

:08:40. > :08:47.breadwinner and she has been left to look after the children without a

:08:47. > :08:51.salary. Life was tough -- is tough without my husband. The government

:08:51. > :08:57.do not care about us widows. My husband died like a dog. What

:08:57. > :09:00.continues to anger this community is that no one has been jailed for the

:09:00. > :09:06.murders. After coming under enormous treasure, President Jacob Zuma

:09:06. > :09:13.quickly appreciated a commission of enquiry into the killings, but it

:09:13. > :09:18.has been marred by delays. The Mineworkers live just metres from

:09:18. > :09:21.the mine, and ear later, this community remains poverty stricken,

:09:21. > :09:27.with no electricity and running water. Despite salary increases,

:09:28. > :09:35.miners say their lives through a nun changed. We haven't -- lives remain

:09:35. > :09:46.unchanged. We haven't got what we wanted. Some of our colleagues have

:09:46. > :09:52.just died for nothing. The Marikana massacre completely altered the

:09:52. > :09:57.political landscape. It shifted the mood, the landscape, the way in

:09:57. > :09:58.which workers look at their pay. It shifted the value of the rand

:09:58. > :10:08.which workers look at their pay. It against the dollar. The Hill is a

:10:08. > :10:11.which workers look at their pay. It playground for the community but the

:10:11. > :10:18.repercussions will be felt for many years to come.

:10:18. > :10:23.That is the backdrop to the Marikana massacre and we can go to the

:10:23. > :10:29.commemoration now, you can bring us up to date. There are thousands of

:10:29. > :10:34.Mineworkers who have gathered here and of course, opposition political

:10:34. > :10:38.parties. I can confirm that the memorial or the commemoration

:10:38. > :10:39.started about 45 minutes ago and it has been opened by religious leaders

:10:39. > :10:43.who have gathered here. The has been opened by religious leaders

:10:43. > :10:52.Mineworkers say that to them, today, they need peace and reconciliation.

:10:52. > :10:57.Joining me now is a Mineworkers who has been working here for six years.

:10:57. > :11:08.What does this they mean to you? This day is a painful day. A day I

:11:08. > :11:14.will never forget in my life. A day that we lost our heroes, our

:11:14. > :11:18.fathers, brothers. It was a painful day and I will never forget it. What

:11:18. > :11:23.do you think about the fact the commission has been dragging on and

:11:23. > :11:26.there have been delays? You were telling me that Mineworkers are

:11:26. > :11:33.upset that nobody has been arrested for the killings of 34 Mineworkers.

:11:33. > :11:39.I think about the commission, the government is taking the side come

:11:39. > :11:47.because now we are struggling, the government doesn't want to pay the

:11:47. > :11:56.lawyers. I don't see a use for the commission now. I can't see the

:11:56. > :11:57.point of it at all. The police presence seems to be intensifying,

:11:57. > :12:05.what do you think about police being presence seems to be intensifying,

:12:05. > :12:18.present at this commemoration today? The police, they were there, but I

:12:18. > :12:22.didn't see any duty for them. Because the police have killed our

:12:22. > :12:28.brothers last year. And for them to come here to make a peace, for what?

:12:28. > :12:34.Who was fighting? Nobody was fighting. I don't see any job for

:12:34. > :12:46.them. Thank you very much for your time. That was a minor -- mine

:12:46. > :12:48.worker here. The workers are upset that government officials did not

:12:48. > :12:54.come to attend these commemorations will stop in fact they expelled ANC

:12:55. > :12:59.youth leader, who has just launched a blow little party, he is here and

:12:59. > :13:05.received loud cheers when he came in -- just launched a political party.

:13:05. > :13:09.There have been a lot of songs that the Mineworkers have been singing.

:13:09. > :13:13.There have been a lot of messages through these songs. And one of

:13:13. > :13:17.them, the Mineworkers were saying that they are hoping that elections

:13:17. > :13:24.will come soon so that they can vote for government that cares for them

:13:24. > :13:28.and their rights. Thank you. A lot of political

:13:28. > :13:33.antagonism still hanging over the Marikana massacre.

:13:33. > :13:36.60 people have been injured in an explosion at a fireworks festival

:13:36. > :13:42.near Kyoto in Japan. That is thought the blast may have been caused by a

:13:42. > :13:47.generator at a food stall catching fire. Pretty dramatic scenes. 18

:13:47. > :13:52.people including two boy suffered serious burns. The festival which is

:13:52. > :13:58.staged each year has been cancelled for this year, understandably.

:13:58. > :14:01.In Australia tough new policies to deal with asylum seekers have been

:14:01. > :14:04.outlined by the opposition just weeks before a general election. The

:14:04. > :14:07.Conservative coalition leader Tony Abbott said tens of thousands of

:14:07. > :14:10.asylum seekers already being processed by Australia would not be

:14:10. > :14:17.allowed to settle there permanently. From Sydney, Jon Donnison reports.

:14:17. > :14:25.Stop the boats has been a rallying cry for both candidates throughout

:14:25. > :14:26.this election campaign. A reference to the thousands of asylum seekers

:14:26. > :14:30.this election campaign. A reference who have tried to reach Australia's

:14:30. > :14:38.sure this year, many have drowned trying. The opposition leader, Tony

:14:38. > :14:43.Abbott, says if he is a lack did, 30,000 refugees already here would

:14:43. > :14:46.never be granted permanent residency -- if he is elected. Even if

:14:46. > :14:51.application for asylum is successful. Those granted visas

:14:51. > :14:57.would have them revoked and replaced with temporary visas with new

:14:57. > :15:01.restrictions on rights to work. This is our country and we determine who

:15:01. > :15:05.comes here. That was the position under the last coalition government

:15:05. > :15:08.and that will be the position under any future coalition government.

:15:08. > :15:15.Tragically for Australia, and any future coalition government.

:15:15. > :15:20.tragically for so many people, it hasn't been the position under the

:15:20. > :15:24.current government. Tony Abbott said he would change the

:15:24. > :15:31.law so that anyone who asylum claims were rejected ID courts would be

:15:31. > :15:35.denied the right to appeal. A move which some suggested might be

:15:35. > :15:39.unconstitutional. Both party leaders have been trying to out tough each

:15:39. > :15:42.other on the issue. The Labour Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, has recently

:15:42. > :15:51.introduced his own much-publicised policy. I'd have put forward a new

:15:51. > :15:54.policy with one simple principle. If you are a people smuggler bringing

:15:54. > :15:58.someone to Australia and you are looking to settle them in Australia,

:15:58. > :16:02.we will not allow them to be settled here. They will be sent for

:16:02. > :16:09.processing in Papua New Guinea. They will be settled their if they are

:16:09. > :16:15.proven to be refugees. Human rights groups have criticised both men's

:16:15. > :16:16.policies as cruel and failing to on Australia's International

:16:16. > :16:23.commitments. Both men clearly feel Australia's International

:16:23. > :16:25.that talking tough on stopping the votes is -- stopping the boats is a

:16:25. > :16:27.vote winner. An American teenager held hostage

:16:27. > :16:30.for six days by a man who had killed An American teenager held hostage

:16:30. > :16:36.her mother and brother has now appeared in public for the first

:16:36. > :16:39.time since her ordeal. It may have been an ordeal in itself. Anna

:16:39. > :16:46.Anderson is 16 and was rescued by police last week. She did not stop

:16:46. > :16:49.to talk to the media. Perhaps no surprise there. She appeared at a

:16:49. > :16:54.fundraising event. Her family say she is doing well.

:16:55. > :17:02.Hope you will stay with us. Still to come, just what did she say? Critics

:17:02. > :17:04.jump to condemn the Rossen -- Russian pole vault, Yelena

:17:04. > :17:10.Isinbayeva, for apparently aborting her country's clamp-down on gay

:17:10. > :17:16.rights. For years, Christian Gerhartsreiter.

:17:16. > :17:19.As of Americans into thinking he wasn't here to the Rockefeller

:17:19. > :17:21.fortune. He has now been jailed for murder after it emerged he was

:17:21. > :17:29.fortune. He has now been jailed for living a deadly life.

:17:29. > :17:32.A German born con man who posed for years as a member of one of

:17:32. > :17:39.America's wealthiest families. Christian Gerhartsreiter back in

:17:39. > :17:42.court after a jury found him guilty of killing his landlord. The minimum

:17:42. > :17:49.term the defendant shall receive is 27 years. John Solis went missing in

:17:49. > :17:53.1985, together with his wife. His body was found nine years later in

:17:53. > :17:58.the backyard of his home in Los Angeles. Rossi tutors believe that

:17:58. > :18:03.the German immigrant also killed Linda Solis, but he was charged with

:18:03. > :18:06.only one murder. When the couple vanished, he was living in a guest

:18:06. > :18:16.house owned by the victim's mother. He disappeared and in the following

:18:16. > :18:20.years masqueraded across the United States as an a to the Rockefeller

:18:20. > :18:24.fortune. He got married and even fooled his wife for 12 years. He

:18:24. > :18:29.also pretended to be a Hollywood producer, and an English aristocrats

:18:29. > :18:36.during his years evading arrest. Investigators traced him. Over a

:18:36. > :18:40.kidnapping of his young daughter from Boston. He was convicted and

:18:40. > :18:48.jailed for five years. Publicity over the kidnapping case led

:18:48. > :18:50.investigators to re-examine the murder investigation, decades old.

:18:50. > :18:55.Before the judge handed down the sentence, Christian Gerhartsreiter

:18:55. > :19:00.protested his innocence. I want to assert my innocence. I firmly

:19:00. > :19:08.believe that the victim's wife killed the victim but be that as it

:19:08. > :19:16.may. Once again, I did not commit the crime of which are stand

:19:16. > :19:20.accused. -- convicted. -- is tanned convicted. For the family, this

:19:20. > :19:25.marks the end of a long ordeal. My life has been on hold and that

:19:25. > :19:32.started five years ago when the news broke about Christian

:19:32. > :19:36.Gerhartsreiter. Christian Gerhartsreiter will have to serve at

:19:36. > :19:48.least 22 years in jail before he is eligible for the role.

:19:48. > :19:54.-- parole. You're watching BBC World News. The

:19:54. > :19:57.latest headlines, there is tension in Egypt as the Muslim Brotherhood

:19:57. > :19:59.calls on supporters to join in March of anger after midday prayers, which

:19:59. > :20:02.calls on supporters to join in March are now underway.

:20:02. > :20:06.Armoured vehicles have been sent on to the streets. The interim

:20:06. > :20:13.government has authorised police to use live ammunition.

:20:13. > :20:16.There have been calls for one of the biggest stars of the world athletics

:20:16. > :20:19.Championships in Moscow to be stripped not of metal but of her

:20:19. > :20:26.role as an ambassador for the youth Olympics. -- not of her mettle.

:20:26. > :20:32.Yelena Isinbayeva, who won gold in Moscow, has caused controversy by

:20:32. > :20:38.Colin for a clamp-down on gay rights in Moscow. She criticise athletes

:20:38. > :20:42.who had painted their nails in the colours of the gay movement. This is

:20:42. > :20:48.what she said. Everyone can compete and participate but if they promote

:20:48. > :20:55.sexual relations outside, then it will not be respectable, the

:20:55. > :21:04.respectable front of our citizens. We consider ourselves normal,

:21:04. > :21:10.standard people, who live, noise with women, women with boys,

:21:10. > :21:16.everything must be fine here. She appears to be backing off from those

:21:16. > :21:19.comments. Earlier, I spoke to our sports correspondent who said that

:21:19. > :21:21.the athlete believes she may have been misunderstood. After meeting

:21:21. > :21:26.those comments yesterday, in been misunderstood. After meeting

:21:26. > :21:33.English, very clearly in front of that press conference conference --

:21:33. > :21:35.statement saying that she feels she may have been misunderstood. What

:21:35. > :21:37.she wanted to say was that people should respect the laws of other

:21:37. > :21:42.countries, particularly when they are guests. She goes on to say that

:21:42. > :21:45.she is not in any way discriminatory towards homosexual people. So there

:21:45. > :21:49.is backtracking but there have been calls, and I've spoken to athletes

:21:50. > :21:53.over the last 24 hours to say she should step aside from that role as

:21:53. > :21:58.a good ambassador. Of course, the Winter Olympics are coming up in

:21:58. > :22:06.2012 -- 2014 and she will be the May of the Olympic village. There have

:22:06. > :22:10.been -- has been anger and they do not think that statement will put a

:22:10. > :22:13.lid on that. Obviously, very difficult. At least one of the

:22:13. > :22:19.presidential candidates for the IFC has spoken out about Russia's

:22:19. > :22:23.stance. -- IOC. I'd give the impression this will go on for many

:22:24. > :22:30.months. I think it will. If you look at the role of Russia in sporting

:22:30. > :22:33.events, you have the world athletic Championships taking place in Moscow
