Hello, this is BBC world News. Our top stories. France, Britain and the | :00:09. | :00:18. | |
US say they will press for a robust UN resolution on the removal of | :00:18. | :00:23. | |
Syria's chemical weapons, with serious consequences if Syria does | :00:23. | :00:28. | |
not comply. If Assad does not comply with the terms of this framework, we | :00:28. | :00:35. | |
are all agreed, including Russia. The unprecedented task of raising | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
the wreck of the Costa Concordia cruise ship is under way of the | :00:38. | :00:44. | |
Italian coast. Australia's biggest enquiry into | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
child abuse holds its first public hearing. | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
The country is warned to prepare for disturbing details. And storms lash | :00:51. | :00:56. | |
the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of Mexico, killing at least 19 people. | :00:56. | :01:15. | |
Hello and welcome. France, Britain and the US have said they will seek | :01:15. | :01:22. | |
a robust UN resolution on Syria's chemical weapons, with binding | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
deadlines for their removal. After a meeting of Foreign Minister is in | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
Paris they said they would also press for a new peace conference to | :01:30. | :01:39. | |
find a political solution to the wider conflict in Syria. I can speak | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
for all of us here, and I think for wider conflict in Syria. I can speak | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
all of our president and prime minister, we will not tolerate | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
avoidance or anything less than full minister, we will not tolerate | :01:46. | :01:53. | |
compliance by the Assad regime. If Assad fails to comply with the terms | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
of this framework, make no mistake, we are all agreed - including Russia | :01:58. | :02:05. | |
- that there will be consequences. The framework fully commits the | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
United States and Russia to impose measures under Chapter VII of the UN | :02:08. | :02:14. | |
Charter in the event of noncompliance. President Obama and I | :02:14. | :02:22. | |
have repeated this statement. He has warned that, should diplomacy fail, | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
the military option is still on the table. That was John Kerry. The | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
British Foreign Secretary William Hague went on to say that a | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
resolution must be made promptly. We now have to have a resolution which | :02:36. | :02:42. | |
crystallises a binding commitment, and which makes sure this is dealt | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
with creditably, reliably and promptly as well. It is a very | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
important aspect of what we are promptly as well. It is a very | :02:49. | :02:55. | |
talking about now, that there are specific time frames, and that there | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
will be a means of holding the Assad regime to account on this. I do not | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
agree that there is any incompatibility with this and all of | :03:03. | :03:09. | |
our other goals on Syria. It is very important to deal with the use of | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
chemical weapons, which we have seen on August 21, and in previous | :03:13. | :03:20. | |
instances, but dealing with that is not incompatible at all with also | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
pursuing our goal for a political solution to end the conflict, and | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
our other goal, which is to alleviate humanitarian suffering, on | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
which our countries are working so hard. Interesting that John Kerry | :03:33. | :03:44. | |
said now that their strategic goal was to lay out a structure for a new | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
Syria with a transitional government, so really committing to | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
a much broader political transition here. But initially, on the chemical | :03:53. | :03:59. | |
weapons, did we learn anything new in this conference? Hardly, because | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
they are talking about strong and robust language, and that is already | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
they are talking about strong and there in the framework agreed | :04:06. | :04:15. | |
between the United States and Russia in Geneva. John Kerry has been | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
making the point clearly and repeatedly that nothing said in that | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
press conference hasn't already been said in the framework that is | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
written. William Hague did say there would be specific time frames and | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
means to holding the Assad regime to account. The time frames are there | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
in the framework. The question about the means of holding President Assad | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
to account, that is the big question. That is where we will see | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
to account, that is the big all the manoeuvring from both sides | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
as the draft resolution is being worked on. Exactly what will emerge | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
from that, how it will be interpreted, who is going to decide | :04:49. | :04:55. | |
whether there has been noncompliance or not, all of these questions is | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
where the manoeuvring is going to be happening. But the time frames are | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
already there in the agreement. They are also talking about having a | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
second peace conference, and saying what they are doing is compatible | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
with the chemical weapons, because we have seen the complaints from the | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
opposition about just focusing on the chemical weapons, and what about | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
the rest of it. They were disappointed that the Americans | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
didn't take action. Is this more than words here? If it is, we | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
wouldn't know, because that is all we have seen. That is all the Syrian | :05:29. | :05:35. | |
opposition has been seeing, with certain exceptions. There has been | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
some support, but the support they have been promised and the risk | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
sport -- the support they have received, there is a huge gap | :05:42. | :05:49. | |
between it. From the use of the air force, to the use of ballistic | :05:49. | :05:55. | |
missiles, to other things which they know that the main balance of power | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
is not on their side, and the reason for that is not chemical weapons, it | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
is conventional weapons and the military superiority of the | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
government forces and their allies, compared to the rebel forces. They | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
know that. The press conference and speakers at the press conference | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
have been trying to create the impression that there is going to be | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
more towards resolving the bigger picture in Syria, but we haven't | :06:21. | :06:22. | |
really seen exactly what they are picture in Syria, but we haven't | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
talking about. The French Foreign Minister making the point that there | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
is not a choice between terrorists and the Assad regime. Much more to | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
come on this today. As the politicians thrash out a | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
message to Syria on chemical weapons, what is the reaction in | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
Syria itself? Our Middle East editor is in Damascus. | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
A lot has changed since the weapons inspectors were here three weeks | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
ago. Back then, their departure was thought by many to be the starting | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
point for an American missile attack. Of course, that didn't | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
happen. President Obama got involved in that political process in | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
Washington, and now there is the agreement brokered by Russia for the | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
Syrians to give up their chemical weapons. President Assad didn't even | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
accept that they had chemical weapons arsenal. -- arsenal. There | :07:14. | :07:23. | |
have been leaks saying that the inspectors might even point the | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
finger at the Assad regime as being responsible for the attack. I cannot | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
confirm that. If they did, it would be beyond their remit, but it would | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
inject a new element into this whole saga. What the chemical weapons | :07:36. | :07:45. | |
agreement has done is take away the immediate threat of an American | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
missile strikes, perhaps even the medium-term threat of that strike. | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
That is good news for President Assad and his Armed Forces, because | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
the Americans were talking about degrading them, a rather neutral | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
expression for what might have turned into a regime threatening | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
attack. That is bad news for the opposition, especially the armed | :08:08. | :08:14. | |
opposition that has been looking for the West -- looking to the West for | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
support. They were hoping that that strike would finally told the war in | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
my direction, but that is not going to happen. The conventional war | :08:22. | :08:28. | |
grinds on, and there are signs that President Assad's forces have been | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
on the offensive. Much more on the diplomatic front | :08:33. | :08:39. | |
concerning Syria throughout the day. The Costa Concordia cruise ship, | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
which ran aground on the Italian coast, has begun to shift towards an | :08:42. | :08:48. | |
upright position for the first time since January last year. In one of | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
the biggest salvage attempts ever made, crews are using gigantic | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
cranes and cables to try and roll the partially submerged vessel. But | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
the senior engineer has reported that the Costa Concordia still | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
hasn't broken free of the rock on which she is impaled. Once she has, | :09:05. | :09:12. | |
she will be towed away for scrap. 32 people were killed when the Costa | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
Concordia struck rocks of the island of Giglio. Our courses -- our | :09:16. | :09:23. | |
correspondent is there. This is the first hour of this very delicate | :09:24. | :09:29. | |
operation. Those boxes that you see, the containers on the | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
right-hand side, the largest of which is the height of an 11 story | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
building, those are going to be used to stabilise the ship once she is | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
upright. On the far right, those giant cables are being pulled by | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
lots of winches, to literally pull the ship back upright. It is going | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
to be under immense pressure and strain while that happens, so they | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
are taking it very slowly indeed. We are not actually seeing any movement | :09:56. | :10:10. | |
at the moment, but if we take a measurement from the centre of the | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
bridge, and count those windows down to sea level, I make that seven and | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
a half windows at moment. In an hour, we will see if that has | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
changed. A week of strike action has hour, we will see if that has | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
begun in Greece. Public school teachers have started a rolling | :10:19. | :10:29. | |
stoppage. In Turkey, anti-government | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
protesters have clashed with police in Istanbul early this morning. Tear | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
gas was fired at demonstrators who set alight barricades after a series | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
of peaceful concerts. There were disturbances at number of embassies | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
after a protester died last week. His family say he was hit by a gas | :10:46. | :10:52. | |
canister, but police have denied responsibility. | :10:52. | :10:59. | |
A bomb explosion in Baghdad district has killed several people and | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
wounded several others. On Sunday, car bombings killed at least 58 | :11:01. | :11:07. | |
people. More than 4000 people have died in attacks since the start of | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
April. Government forces in the southern | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
Philippines have launched an attack on the web all in the southern city | :11:15. | :11:21. | |
of Zamboanga. Fighters from the Moro National liberation front have been | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
holding parts of the city for more than a week. More than 60 people | :11:24. | :11:29. | |
have been killed so far. Thousands of people in Zamboanga have fled the | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
fighting, and food is becoming scarce. The city's mayor said the | :11:34. | :11:40. | |
rebels will pay dearly for continuing to besiege the city. | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
Australians have been warned to prepare themselves for disturbing | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
revelations as the country's biggest enquiry into child abuse holds its | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
first public hearing. The Commission was set up to investigate | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
allegations of mistreatment in state run institutions, including schools | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
and Scout groups. Earlier I spoke to our correspondent in Sydney. I asked | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
him what we can expect to see from this enquiry. This is a massive | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
enquiry. It was launched in April, but these are the first public | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
hearings today. By the end of it, we are expecting for thousands of | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
witnesses to have come forward alleging abuse in all sorts of | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
different Australian institutions. The leader of this investigation | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
today said that some 400 people have already given private testimony to | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
today said that some 400 people have the enquiry. This started off as | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
they look into allegations of abuse within the Catholic Church, but it | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
has gone much wider than that. Looking at all sorts of institutions | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
across Australian society. Is this something that all the victims are | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
backing? Do they say that this is what is needed to try and change | :12:55. | :13:04. | |
things? Broadly, yes. You probably saw some pictures there of some of | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
the victims and their supporters outside the enquiry today. One of | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
the things they would say is they don't want this just to be a chance | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
for them to air their grievances and come forward with | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
for them to air their grievances and of abuse. I think they want | :13:19. | :13:24. | |
something to be done about it. This enquiry has said that it will not be | :13:24. | :13:29. | |
there to launch prosecutions. There will be no question of compensation | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
being handed out to any of the victims. It is simply a chance for | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
people to air them, and look at how some of the allegations have been | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
covered up, particularly in the Catholic Church. Some of the victims | :13:41. | :13:46. | |
would like to see something more done about it, though. Thank you. | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
would like to see something more Much more to come on the programme. | :13:50. | :13:57. | |
Just who was the uninvited guest who got in on the German Chancellor's | :13:57. | :14:03. | |
election campaign? And social media puts you in the | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
front seat at London Fashion Week. An artist has set himself the | :14:05. | :14:18. | |
daunting task of painting every person in his home city. Luckily for | :14:18. | :14:24. | |
Graham Hurd Wood, he lives in one of the smallest cities in Europe. Saint | :14:24. | :14:30. | |
Davids in West Wales is home to just 1800 people. He says he will | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
complete the task in ten years, if he paints one portrait every ten | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
days. Committed to campus. These are just | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
some of the people who make up the tiny cathedral city of Saint | :14:42. | :14:48. | |
Davids. The idea of painting all of his fellow residents individually | :14:48. | :14:54. | |
came to Graham Hurd would after a conversation in the local pub 14 | :14:54. | :14:59. | |
years ago. Initial progress was slow, but recently, the project has | :14:59. | :15:04. | |
taken on a life of its own. I have got to 100. So I thought, I can get | :15:04. | :15:11. | |
to 1000. And if I can get to 1000, why not paint the whole city? People | :15:11. | :15:16. | |
to 1000. And if I can get to 1000, start to quiver after a while. I | :15:16. | :15:18. | |
to 1000. And if I can get to 1000, tell them to relax. Today's subject | :15:18. | :15:25. | |
is 113, and runs a local ice cream parlour. Did she find the | :15:25. | :15:30. | |
experienced nerve wracking? I wasn't nervous at all. I was a little bit | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
nervous about what Graham was painting, but I was pleased with it | :15:34. | :15:42. | |
afterwards. This quiet corner of West Wales has always been popular | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
with artists, most of them drawn by its Greenhills and rugged | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
coastline. This artist is trying to do something different, building a | :15:51. | :15:56. | |
landscape of Saint Davids formed by a sea of faces. So far, nobody has | :15:56. | :16:02. | |
turned down the opportunity to be painted. Subjects have included | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
everyone from a barrister to a rubbish tip worker, and in a city | :16:06. | :16:20. | |
dominated by the Church, quite a few clerics. It is very relaxing having | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
your portrait painted, but it is clerics. It is very relaxing having | :16:23. | :16:25. | |
also very humbling, that someone would want to put you on canvas. | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
Perhaps one day this might be an old master, who knows! Judging when the | :16:28. | :16:29. | |
collection is complete might be master, who knows! Judging when the | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
difficult, but Graham believes he could paint the citizens who | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
surround him in a decade, and capture life in this unique place. | :16:35. | :16:54. | |
This is BBC World News. The headlines: France, Britain and the | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
United States have said they will seek a robust UN resolution on | :16:58. | :17:03. | |
Syria's chemical weapons with binding deadlines for their | :17:03. | :17:05. | |
removal. And salvage crews in Italy are | :17:05. | :17:11. | |
tempting the unprecedented task of raising the cost of Congo dear | :17:11. | :17:17. | |
cruise ship more than 18 months after it capsized. -- the Costa | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
Concordia cruise ship. The most senior woman in -- the most | :17:19. | :17:24. | |
senior policewoman in Helmand province has died. Lieutenant Negar | :17:24. | :17:29. | |
was shot near the police headquarters in the provincial | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
capital, Lashkar Gah. This was a woman doing a dangerous | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
job in a very dangerous part of the country, the third woman police | :17:37. | :17:42. | |
officer to die in Helmand in recent months, and a heroin by any | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
account. She recently did an interview for the New York Times in | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
which she said she loved her job, and after the death of her two | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
female colleagues, she saw it as part of her job to give courage and | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
boost the morale of the other 30 or so women police officers in Helmand. | :17:57. | :18:02. | |
She revealed that in the past, she had on one occasion disarmed a | :18:02. | :18:07. | |
sniper. And when there was a suspect suicide bomber, she had thrown her | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
arms around him in a bear hug to stop him from better knighting his | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
suicide vest. So this was a woman who very much lead from the front | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
and enjoyed her job. In her home life, she also lived with her | :18:21. | :18:25. | |
paralysed brother, who had been a police officer. He had been shot and | :18:25. | :18:29. | |
injured, and she looked after his children. So it will be a blow to | :18:29. | :18:37. | |
that family, and once again a reminder of the security challenges | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
still facing both Afghanistan and Helmand. At least 19 people have | :18:39. | :18:45. | |
been killed in Mexico as two storms have lashed both the Atlantic and | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
Pacific coasts of the country. In the east, Hurricane Ingrid has | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
forced thousands to leave their homes, whilst in the West, Tropical | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
Storm Manuel has caused severe flash flooding and mudslides. | :18:56. | :19:03. | |
Tropical storm Immanuel made landfall in Mexico with deadly force | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
-- Tropical Storm Manuel. Torrential rain, flash flooding and landslides | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
have caused the deaths of at least 19 people across the country, most | :19:12. | :19:18. | |
of them in the Pacific state. Thousands of families have now been | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
evacuated from high risk areas and housed in temporary shelters. The | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
authorities remain on high alert as been that -- National meteorological | :19:25. | :19:30. | |
service warned of what it called a strong and prolonged rainy season in | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
the majority of the country. The holiday destination of Acapulco was | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
also badly affected, with the Marines being called out to help | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
evacuate elderly residents. A state of emergency has been called in the | :19:42. | :19:49. | |
state capital after a reservoir burst its banks. While the rest of | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
the country has borne the brunt of Tropical Storm Manuel, the East of | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
Mexico has fared little better, having been battered by winds of up | :19:56. | :20:01. | |
to 150 kilometres an hour from Hurricane Ingrid. The category one | :20:01. | :20:09. | |
storm continues near the coast and is due to make landfall in the | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
coming hours. It has already caused disruption to eastern and southern | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
states. With thousands made temporarily homeless by the | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
floodwaters, the civil emergency authorities across Mexico are | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
bracing themselves for several more days of severe weather. | :20:22. | :20:31. | |
In other news, in Japan, at least four people are reported to be | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
missing and 48 have been injured after a powerful storm hit the | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
country's Western and Central after a powerful storm hit the | :20:36. | :20:42. | |
regions. Typhoon Man-yi has brought torrential rains, damaging homes and | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
forcing thousands to evacuate. Fears of storms hitting the troubled | :20:46. | :20:50. | |
Fukushima plant have been allayed. The American state of Colorado is | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
continuing a large-scale rescue operation after severe flooding left | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
five dead and hundreds missing. Thousands have been forced to | :20:57. | :21:01. | |
evacuate from affected communities. The waters are now subsiding, but | :21:01. | :21:06. | |
more rain has been forecast and the authorities have warned that there | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
could be more flash flooding. Now, it is just a few days to go until | :21:11. | :21:16. | |
the German election. The weekend ballot in the southern state of | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
Bavaria showed strong support for Angela Merkel's conservative bloc. | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
That was expected, but the election campaign has not been without | :21:24. | :21:30. | |
surprises, and there was an unexpected interruption at a rally | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
yesterday. Another day, another rally. The | :21:33. | :21:38. | |
eastern city of Dresden this time. Angela Merkel has been on the | :21:38. | :21:43. | |
campaign trail for a month now. More of those posters, more of that jolly | :21:43. | :21:44. | |
music. And then the unexpected, a of those posters, more of that jolly | :21:45. | :21:52. | |
flying object steals the show. Had someone got carried away with a | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
political message about surveillance or military warfare, perhaps? Well, | :21:56. | :22:01. | |
the police say a 23-year-old man sent it up to take photos he hoped | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
to sell. They told him till a bit, which he | :22:04. | :22:10. | |
apparently did, but not very well. A crash landing close to the German | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
Chancellor and her defence Minister. A stern reaction from | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
some. The culprit was detained for a short time but thought to pose no | :22:18. | :22:24. | |
danger. Members of Merkel's Pritchard Democrats say he was from | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
the Pirate Party, which campaigns for political transparency and | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
internet freedom. Whoever he was, the Chancellor appeared amused. A | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
moment of likeness for a woman with a lot on her mind. Not least the | :22:35. | :22:41. | |
result of the ballot in Bavaria this weekend. Although her conservative | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
sister party triumphed, support for her coalition partner, the Free | :22:45. | :22:50. | |
Democrats, collapsed. If that pattern is repeated in Sunday's | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
general election, she could be forced to partner with the | :22:54. | :23:00. | |
opposition social Democrats. We are now going to take you back to | :23:00. | :23:06. | |
Italy. These are the live pictures coming in to us. Engineers say they | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
have now succeeded in freeing the cruise ship the Costa Concordia from | :23:10. | :23:15. | |
the rocks off that Tuscan coast where it ran aground in January last | :23:15. | :23:22. | |
year. It has been rotated off those rocks, apparently. It has lain there | :23:22. | :23:27. | |
for 20 months, and engineers say that all is going according to plan. | :23:27. | :23:29. | |
The ship was under 6000 tonnes of that all is going according to plan. | :23:29. | :23:34. | |
pressure. That was what was needed to get it pulled off the sea bed. | :23:34. | :23:39. | |
The pressure will now diminish, according to our correspondent at | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
the scene. The ship has now detached from the rocks, which of course took | :23:43. | :23:52. | |
some time. 32 people lost their lives and two body is asked to | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
missing. No sign of those bodies at yet -- as yet. Now something very | :23:56. | :24:02. | |
different, because designers have been showcasing next year's Spring | :24:02. | :24:03. | |
different, because designers have and summer collections at London | :24:03. | :24:08. | |
Fashion Week. It is an important event for the | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
industry. This year, more than ever, designers are trying to use social | :24:12. | :24:14. | |
industry. This year, more than ever, media to reach their customers. | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
Catwalks and cat fights over front Row 's eats. | :24:19. | :24:28. | |
-- front row seats. Twice a year, Londoners put on their best frocks | :24:28. | :24:32. | |
in the hope of being snapped by the press. Digital innovations are | :24:33. | :24:35. | |
in the hope of being snapped by the changing the world, and it was only | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
a matter of time before they changed the face of fashion. Live streaming | :24:38. | :24:49. | |
on the internet - designers now have the chance to broadcast their | :24:49. | :24:53. | |
shows, reaching a larger audience than ever before. My show will be | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
live streaming all over the world, so people can watch live. We will | :24:57. | :25:04. | |
also be tweeting and using Facebook. There will be digital | :25:04. | :25:13. | |
promotion. My team are still tweeting now. It is not just the | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
designers. The models are also using social media to give a glimpse of | :25:18. | :25:23. | |
what goes on behind the scenes. Any moment now, this room will be filled | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
with the most important people from the fashion world. That includes the | :25:27. | :25:32. | |
bloggers, who will bring their readers an account of the event via | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
social media. But fashionistas sitting at home can watch the show | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
at the same time as the people sitting on these exclusive front row | :25:40. | :25:46. | |
seats. Fashion has moved from being a close and released this industry | :25:46. | :25:56. | |
to something accessible to everyone. Online has essentially not only | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
created the democratisation of the editor, but the democratisation of | :25:59. | :26:07. | |
the consumer as well. If everything is out there, it is all news by the | :26:07. | :26:12. | |
time it hits stores. Live streaming gives the ordinary person an | :26:12. | :26:14. | |
time it hits stores. Live streaming opportunity to experience London | :26:14. | :26:19. | |
Fashion Week and allow people who are passionate about fashion to | :26:19. | :26:22. | |
watch the shows and designs they love online six months before it | :26:22. | :26:27. | |
gets to retail. With technology moving so fast and more people | :26:27. | :26:30. | |
buying online, the challenge for the luxury brands is how to stay | :26:30. | :26:43. | |
exclusive without being left behind. Our top story is of course Syria. | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
France, Britain and the United States say they will seek a robust | :26:47. | :26:52. | |
United Nations resolution. John Kerry has said they will not | :26:52. | :26:54. | |
tolerate anything less than full compliance from the Assad regime. | :26:54. | :27:00. | |
The strategic goal is to have a transitional government to lay | :27:00. | :27:00. |
