:00:06. > :00:17.Hello, this is BBC world News. France to put a resolution to the UN
:00:17. > :00:25.Security Council, calling on Syria to shed light on its chemical
:00:25. > :00:31.weapons. It is only through access to the chemical weapons that we will
:00:31. > :00:36.decide the frankness and seriousness of the regime. The Syrian people
:00:36. > :00:41.have suffered a great deal. Guilty of gang rape and murder, four men
:00:41. > :00:48.are found guilty of attacking a woman last December. Accused of
:00:48. > :00:53.crimes against humanity - Kenya's deputy president becomes the first
:00:53. > :00:58.serving official to appear at the International Criminal Court. And
:00:58. > :01:05.hidden city within ruins of ancient Rome, the secret buried beneath the
:01:05. > :01:26.Palace of Emperor Hadrian. Diplomats around the world are still
:01:26. > :01:29.assessing the viability of a Russian proposal for Syria to put its
:01:29. > :01:35.chemical weapons under international control. Russia says it is preparing
:01:35. > :01:40.a workable, specific and concrete plan which will be put to all sides
:01:40. > :01:45.including the United States. France has also announced it will take its
:01:45. > :01:49.own proposals to the United Nations Security Council with the aim of
:01:49. > :01:56.forcing it to declare and dismantle its chemical weapons.
:01:56. > :01:59.President Obama was going to use his six television interviews to bolster
:01:59. > :02:03.President Obama was going to use his arguments for military strikes on
:02:03. > :02:08.Syria, instead he seized on a political lifeline, the surprise
:02:08. > :02:14.initiative to put President Assad's chemical weapons under international
:02:14. > :02:19.control. Is Bashar al-Assad yields control of his chemical weapons to
:02:19. > :02:24.international authority, are we back from the brink? Absolutely, if in
:02:24. > :02:28.international authority, are we back fact that happened. I don't think we
:02:28. > :02:32.would have got to this point unless we have maintained a credible
:02:32. > :02:38.possibility of a military strike and I don't think now is the time to let
:02:38. > :02:44.up on that. I want to make sure that norm against the use of chemical
:02:44. > :02:50.weapons is maintained. If we can do that without a military strike, that
:02:50. > :02:54.is overwhelmingly my preference. For Mr Obama it is a way of delaying a
:02:54. > :02:58.difficult vote in Congress, giving him time to avoid military action,
:02:59. > :03:03.and if the plan fails it may give him a better chance of winning a
:03:03. > :03:12.vote in the future. The French have given the idea a cautious welcome.
:03:12. > :03:20.TRANSLATION: We welcome this new concession with interest, but with
:03:20. > :03:27.caution as well. We don't want this opportunity to be used as a
:03:27. > :03:28.diversion tactic. France says it will put forward a new resolution to
:03:28. > :03:37.diversion tactic. France says it the UN to dismantle chemical
:03:37. > :03:42.weapons. Can an agreement beforehand at last in a deeply divided Security
:03:42. > :03:48.Council? And what it really be possible to destroy those weapons in
:03:48. > :03:53.the middle of a civil war? Our Middle East editor is in Damascus,
:03:53. > :04:00.he outlined the Syrian opposition's feelings about the Russian proposal.
:04:00. > :04:04.Assad is not trusted by the opposition, he is hated, opposition
:04:04. > :04:10.fighters always have said they want to kill him so there is an issue as
:04:10. > :04:12.well. I think the Americans will share a problem of trust over how
:04:12. > :04:19.well. I think the Americans will this will work if it goes ahead. I
:04:19. > :04:25.recall the saga over Iraqi nuclear weapons inspections in the 1990s.
:04:25. > :04:30.That went on for a period of years where they have the right to go to
:04:30. > :04:34.other places, sometimes they have permission, sometimes they didn't,
:04:34. > :04:42.could they go to Saddam Hussein's palaces? As you may be just heard,
:04:42. > :04:46.that was outgoing government fire into rebel positions so how does a
:04:46. > :04:50.process like chemical weapons disarmament, and by all accounts
:04:51. > :04:57.Syria has a large arsenal, how does that happen when there is a hot war
:04:57. > :05:03.going on? The number of refugees who have now fled Syria has passed 1.7
:05:03. > :05:12.million according to official figures from the UNHCR. A
:05:12. > :05:20.substantial number" -- number end up at Zaatari Camp. This stretch of
:05:20. > :05:26.north Jordan has been turned into a refugee camp, now there are some
:05:26. > :05:32.120,000 Syrians living here, making it the second biggest refugee camp
:05:32. > :05:35.in the world. Many of the Syrians here come from parts of their
:05:35. > :05:42.country that have seen the most bitter fighting, and that is why
:05:42. > :05:44.they are broadly supportive of the idea of US led military
:05:44. > :05:50.intervention. There was one woman here who told me that she thought if
:05:50. > :05:53.the west does not help to get rid of President Assad, she is worried she
:05:53. > :05:58.will never be able to go home but the same sentiment is not reflected
:05:58. > :06:02.across Jordan as a whole. Any people are worried that if there is a
:06:02. > :06:05.western strike on Damascus, that will make the crisis worse and could
:06:05. > :06:14.bring more refugees flooding across the border. With me now is the
:06:14. > :06:18.BBC's Damascus correspondent who is currently in London. I know you are
:06:18. > :06:23.still in touch with the people, what do you think the reaction on
:06:23. > :06:28.different sites will be to the last 24 hours with news developments? The
:06:28. > :06:33.opposition don't trust the president and they feel this is yet another
:06:33. > :06:39.green light given to his forces to continue with the violence and today
:06:39. > :06:44.I spoke to people in Damascus, warplanes were firing, multiple
:06:44. > :06:46.rockets were firing at the suburbs of Damascus, but also you talk to
:06:46. > :06:51.the loyalists to the government and of Damascus, but also you talk to
:06:51. > :06:55.they see this sometimes as a concession. They are hardliners and
:06:55. > :07:03.they don't want their government to make any concessions. What about the
:07:03. > :07:09.wording of what Damascus has said? Do you think it will go far enough
:07:09. > :07:17.to assuage people initially? Experts on Syrian politics and Assad's
:07:17. > :07:21.policy, they are good at playing with time and today there is some
:07:21. > :07:26.leaked information by a reporter close to the government who said the
:07:26. > :07:32.government said they welcomed the initiative but did not accept it,
:07:32. > :07:37.which is another game player with time to gain more time and prolong
:07:37. > :07:42.any developments by the Americans. William Hague, the Foreign
:07:42. > :07:47.Secretary, said it is important to remember this is not a question of
:07:47. > :07:54.choosing between two barred outcomes, there are political
:07:54. > :08:07.leaders who are good in the middle who could come through. The people
:08:07. > :08:12.do not trust any peaceful political solution will come out. If that is
:08:12. > :08:24.in the interest of Assad and his government, they should release the
:08:24. > :08:31.political prisoners, mainly the ones who are from the opposition party.
:08:31. > :08:36.Of course we are talking on these resolutions and wordings that
:08:36. > :08:47.changes the threat to chemical weapons, for ordinary people how
:08:47. > :08:51.difficult is it? It is a very important point, I talk to people
:08:51. > :08:54.and all of their comments is that the world is only looking at the
:08:54. > :09:02.chemical weapons, 1000 or so killed the world is only looking at the
:09:02. > :09:07.by chemical weapons is a red line, but 1000 killed in other ways is
:09:07. > :09:12.fine so it is OK if we are killed through other means, so there is a
:09:12. > :09:19.huge sense of resentment and many people realise nobody will help them
:09:19. > :09:26.to have a free country, they know they will do it on their own. Is
:09:26. > :09:34.there any way of seeing a peaceful split of the country? Many observers
:09:34. > :09:38.looking at the current violence, maybe they think a split with
:09:38. > :09:42.international peacekeeping mission in the country to stop the violence
:09:42. > :09:47.and power-sharing at the moment would be the best solution for the
:09:47. > :09:53.time being, but talking to many people, whether in the north of the
:09:53. > :09:56.South, it is hard to see that they can accept President Assad to stay
:09:56. > :10:02.in power for a longer period. That is the view of the opposition, but
:10:02. > :10:05.the loyalists want President Assad to stay but it all depends on the
:10:05. > :10:12.coming period of time how the game will change on the ground. Thank
:10:12. > :10:16.you. There have been calls for the death penalty for four men found
:10:16. > :10:20.guilty of the gang rape and murder of a female student on a bus in
:10:20. > :10:24.Delhi. The case caused outrage within India. The victim was a
:10:24. > :10:27.23-year-old woman who had within India. The victim was a
:10:27. > :10:32.of the cinema with a friend, the pair were on the way home when they
:10:32. > :10:42.were subjected to an horrific attack. What has happened in court?
:10:42. > :10:43.What has the judge said today? The judge has found these four
:10:44. > :10:54.What has the judge said today? The guilty of rape, and they said they
:10:54. > :10:58.found these men guilty of killing an innocent, helpless victim so they
:10:58. > :11:01.have now been found guilty and innocent, helpless victim so they
:11:01. > :11:06.tomorrow is the day when the sentence will be pronounced. What
:11:06. > :11:14.was the reaction of the family in court, do we know? Yes, the family
:11:14. > :11:25.of the victim were present in the court and after the announcement of
:11:25. > :11:31.this, the father of the victim said they are hopeful of a death sentence
:11:31. > :11:40.for these men. What has been the wider reaction to the verdict in
:11:40. > :11:47.India? Because this did spark huge controversy in India. This has been
:11:47. > :11:53.the most talked about rape case in a long time, and there has been strong
:11:53. > :11:55.opinion that these men should be punished severely, in fact people
:11:56. > :11:57.opinion that these men should be have been demanding the
:11:57. > :11:59.opinion that these men should be sentence for these people, nothing
:11:59. > :12:02.less than that, and there is sentence for these people, nothing
:12:02. > :12:09.consensus on that. The way the sentence for these people, nothing
:12:09. > :12:14.23-year-old was gang raped and brutally killed, I mean she died
:12:14. > :12:22.afterwards obviously, it is something that should not go
:12:22. > :12:27.unpunished and all of these four men should begin in maximum punishment.
:12:27. > :12:31.What about the sense the government has responded and done enough to
:12:31. > :12:36.change things for other women in the country? We keep seeing ongoing
:12:36. > :12:42.reporting of other cases. After this case last December there was uproar
:12:42. > :12:47.and the government was forced to bring in change to the rape laws and
:12:47. > :12:54.changes have been brought in which made sexual offence against women,
:12:54. > :12:58.are much stricter punishment and new crimes have been included, the
:12:58. > :13:01.definition of rape has been expanded, so all of this has
:13:01. > :13:07.happened and to go by police data there have been around more than
:13:07. > :13:18.1000 reported cases this year compared to what happened last year,
:13:18. > :13:22.which was less than half. The invisible story of sexual violence
:13:22. > :13:28.against women has become more visible now. We will be back in
:13:28. > :13:33.Delhi tomorrow for the sentencing. The deputy president of Kenya has
:13:33. > :13:36.made uncomfortable history at the International Criminal Court in The
:13:36. > :13:38.Hague, becoming the first ever sitting government official to go on
:13:38. > :13:44.trial accused of crimes against sitting government official to go on
:13:44. > :13:49.humanity perpetrated after disputed elections in 2007. Earlier today he
:13:49. > :14:03.entered not guilty pleas to the charges of murder, persecution and
:14:03. > :14:12.forcible transfer. As you stated, the deputy president, William Ruto,
:14:12. > :14:17.has pleaded not guilty to murder, forcible transfer of persons, and
:14:17. > :14:22.persecution. He pleaded not guilty to these recounts so the case is
:14:22. > :14:27.currently under way, the prosecution has already given its opening
:14:27. > :14:31.statement, and this is something that has attracted massive interest
:14:31. > :14:37.from the country and also across the world because it is for the first
:14:37. > :14:39.time that a sitting leader of that stature is appearing at the
:14:39. > :14:45.International Criminal Court in The Hague.
:14:45. > :14:53.How is it that they are still able to continue in office? This has been
:14:53. > :14:54.discussed for a while now. There was a timetable released by the
:14:54. > :14:59.International Criminal Court that showed that at some point between
:14:59. > :15:05.November and December, these leaders would be away at the ICC together so
:15:05. > :15:07.this did not sit very well with the leaders and the president came out
:15:07. > :15:10.this did not sit very well with the strongly saying that at least one of
:15:10. > :15:13.them had to be in the country because the country has a
:15:14. > :15:20.constitution and there cannot be a vacuum, but this is something the
:15:20. > :15:36.ICC made a ruling on yesterday, staggering the appearances, so we
:15:36. > :15:41.will have one leader at a time appearing. This is something that is
:15:41. > :15:44.unprecedented and we are going to see how it will affect this country,
:15:44. > :15:45.but the leaders have assured the country everything will continue
:15:45. > :15:47.but the leaders have assured the running normally. In most other
:15:47. > :15:49.countries around the world, to have even charges like this would mean
:15:49. > :15:50.your political career is finished. Even if they say these are
:15:50. > :15:52.your political career is finished. politically motivated charges, how
:15:52. > :15:57.are they getting away with being in office? They came into office even
:15:58. > :16:02.after they had been accused of these crimes and there are some analysts
:16:02. > :16:07.who argued that these charges may have helped them to be elected
:16:07. > :16:16.earlier this year. These charges are in relation to the last election in
:16:16. > :16:21.2007 that turned violent when the former president was running so
:16:21. > :16:26.these gentlemen were not yet elected, so they were just elected
:16:26. > :16:38.this year after they were already facing these charges.

:18:29. > :18:35.reason to be of the IOC is sport and the Olympic Games and its
:18:35. > :18:42.values. I think this is one of the main items. The man tipped to be

:25:06. > :25:12.The passageways are cold, dark and empty now. Long ago they were busy,
:25:12. > :25:17.filled with slaves and servants bringing cartloads of food, drink
