:00:00. > :00:17.Hello, this is BBC World News. Our top stories: as Kenyan mourns, new
:00:17. > :00:20.terrifying footage from the Westgate shopping more as it is stormed by
:00:20. > :00:26.Islamist militants, with thousands inside.
:00:26. > :00:28.At least 250 people dead after a powerful earthquake struck a remote
:00:28. > :00:33.area of southwestern Pakistan on Tuesday.
:00:33. > :00:37.Are they new possibilities for a deal on Iran's nuclear programme?
:00:37. > :00:40.President Rouhani offers negotiations.
:00:40. > :00:45.And amazing speeds for these yachts. The contest finely balanced,
:00:45. > :01:05.the winner takes the race between US and New Zealand.
:01:05. > :01:11.Kenya has begun three days of national mourning after the Nairobi
:01:11. > :01:14.shopping mall terror attack. In a television address, President Uhuru
:01:14. > :01:19.Kenyatta told the nation that Kenya had ashamed and defeated the
:01:19. > :01:25.attackers. In the last few minutes, we have received this new video from
:01:25. > :01:33.inside the Westgate shopping Mall on Saturday as the militants took over.
:01:33. > :01:41.Officially, 67 people have been confirmed dead. But on its Twitter
:01:41. > :01:44.account, the Al-Shabab Islamist militant group say that 137 hostages
:01:44. > :01:47.were killed when Kenyan government forces launched an assault on the
:01:47. > :01:53.building. Five militants were killed in the four-day siege and 11
:01:53. > :01:59.suspects have been arrested. A reminder, this is what happened on
:01:59. > :02:10.Saturday. Video which has just emerged. Let's go to the BBC's
:02:10. > :02:14.Africa security correspondent. That is a reminder of how awful things
:02:14. > :02:19.were last Saturday. What is emerging now from inside the mall,
:02:19. > :02:27.particularly the level of damage and more deaths? We have been seeking to
:02:27. > :02:33.access the building to be able to get in, to get some pictures and do
:02:33. > :02:37.some filming. We have talked about the photo that has emerged and it
:02:37. > :02:41.shows the desperate situation. Yesterday, the president talked to
:02:41. > :02:45.the nation in a late-night address. He talked of some parts of the
:02:45. > :02:48.building caving in, possibly because of some explosions, and he said
:02:48. > :02:54.there were possibly several people trapped in there. And that
:02:54. > :02:57.situation, the fact we have not been able to see inside and the fact
:02:57. > :03:01.there has been smoke coming out of the building from the time the siege
:03:01. > :03:05.was under way tells us that the situation inside, we have no idea
:03:05. > :03:11.how it looks, but it appears there could still be bodies there and
:03:11. > :03:14.probably hostages and probably some of the hostage-takers, although we
:03:14. > :03:20.understand five suspected terrorists of the hostage-takers were shot dead
:03:21. > :03:26.by the police yesterday. At the moment, there is still smoke rising
:03:26. > :03:29.from the building. What's your understanding of the intelligence
:03:29. > :03:32.and Security assessment of whether this particular dreadful event is
:03:32. > :03:42.now over or whether Al-Shabab might have other ideas and still remain a
:03:42. > :03:47.very salient force inside Kenyan? -- Kenya? Yesterday, when the president
:03:47. > :03:52.announced this was over, he acknowledged that the operation to
:03:52. > :03:56.free the building from who was holding it... I mean, the
:03:56. > :04:03.hostage-takers, he also said the long process of trying to identify
:04:03. > :04:06.them starts right away. It is a long process of sifting through forensic
:04:06. > :04:10.elements and materials from the building, and it will be a long time
:04:10. > :04:16.before the full scope of exactly what went on inside comes through.
:04:16. > :04:20.Of course, the Al-Shabab revels in Somalia have claimed responsibility
:04:20. > :04:24.for this attack. The intelligence people are the ones now putting
:04:24. > :04:28.together what they understand and we'll so understand there may have
:04:28. > :04:36.been foreign involvement, probably jihadi 's from other parts of the
:04:36. > :04:40.country. -- we also understand. But what will be important going forward
:04:40. > :04:45.after the siege is over is trying to figure out who was involved, and
:04:45. > :04:48.then how to secure the nation from a possible attack because Al-Shabab
:04:48. > :04:53.have threatened further attacks unless Kenya withdraws its troops
:04:53. > :04:57.from southern Somalia. Has there been any formal indication of what
:04:57. > :05:01.will happen in southern Somalia? It is a major military commitment with
:05:01. > :05:05.4,000 troops there. Is there any likelihood of a weakening of the
:05:05. > :05:11.commitment in Somalia or quite the opposite from the government? Kenyan
:05:11. > :05:16.troops now in Somalia are officially part of the African Union UN backed
:05:16. > :05:21.mission in the country. The president says the troops will not
:05:21. > :05:26.be pulled out of Somalia. As far as we know, the feeling within
:05:26. > :05:31.government is that it will be defeatist to pull out the troops
:05:31. > :05:35.from Somalia but the president also acknowledged that going forward,
:05:35. > :05:39.there will be consultations about what this country's involvement will
:05:39. > :05:43.be, but that's a difficult question and there will be further questions
:05:43. > :05:53.going forward about this country's involvement in the country of
:05:53. > :05:56.Somalia. Thank you. The number of people killed by an
:05:56. > :06:01.earthquake in Pakistan on Tuesday afternoon has risen to at least 250.
:06:01. > :06:04.Many more have been injured when entire villages of mud-brick houses
:06:04. > :06:07.were flattened. The remote, impoverished region of Awaran in
:06:07. > :06:11.Balochistan province was the worst hit. Thousands spent the night in
:06:11. > :06:15.the open. Tents and medical supplies have been sent to the region from
:06:15. > :06:19.the provincial capital Quetta. The quake was so powerful that it was
:06:19. > :06:30.felt hundreds of kilometres away in Karachi, Hyderabad, and even in the
:06:30. > :06:33.Indian capital, Delhi. Let's go to our correspondent. It is still a
:06:33. > :06:42.very remote area for the rescue teams to get to? That is right. In
:06:42. > :06:48.an hour's time, it will be a full 24 hours since this powerful earthquake
:06:48. > :06:56.struck in Balochistan. Rescue efforts are under way. The Pakistani
:06:56. > :07:00.army has its official pal -- paramilitary force in large parts of
:07:01. > :07:04.the area and they are leading the rescue operation. They have sent
:07:04. > :07:11.truckloads of medical supplies and tents from the provincial capital,
:07:12. > :07:17.Quetta. We have talked to a doctor on the ground in Arawan and he has
:07:17. > :07:23.told us there is a shortage of tents, portable water and medicines.
:07:24. > :07:28.He said there is no orthopaedic professional in that hospital.
:07:28. > :07:31.Remember, many of these people who live in mud hut houses had broken
:07:31. > :07:39.bones when their houses collapsed, so they desperately need some help.
:07:39. > :07:44.And pictures on local television from reporters who have managed to
:07:44. > :07:49.get their show the extent of the devastation. Village after village
:07:49. > :07:53.completely destroyed. As we have seen in other earthquakes in
:07:53. > :07:57.Pakistan, there can often be many areas where teams don't even know
:07:57. > :08:05.what has been going on. Is that likely to be the situation in
:08:05. > :08:11.Balochistan as well? Yes. We have seen the earthquake in Pakistan, the
:08:11. > :08:15.biggest in the last decade was in 2005, with over 75,000 people
:08:15. > :08:20.killed, but Balochistan is obviously 2005, with over 75,000 people
:08:20. > :08:24.prone to earthquakes, like Iran. In April there was an earthquake and we
:08:25. > :08:30.managed to travel to the remote area along the Pakistani- Iranians border
:08:30. > :08:37.and we saw how many people live there. This is an impoverished part
:08:37. > :08:42.of Pakistan. People don't have telephones or social networks. They
:08:42. > :08:45.have been living on the lawlessness because of insurgency and alleged
:08:45. > :08:49.abuses by Pakistani security forces, but today, their miseries have
:08:49. > :08:55.multiplied and they are calling for help. Thank you.
:08:55. > :08:59.Iran's new president says he's ready to start talks with the United
:08:59. > :09:02.States. The aim - to resolve international concerns over his
:09:02. > :09:05.country's nuclear programme. He told the UN General Assembly in New York
:09:05. > :09:09.that Western sanctions against Iran are violent. He also said a nuclear
:09:09. > :09:13.weapon would contradict our fundamental religious and ethical
:09:13. > :09:17.convictions. US President Barack Obama says he is encouraged by
:09:17. > :09:27.President Rouhani's signals. The BBC's US State Department
:09:27. > :09:31.correspondent Kim Ghattas reports. President Hassan Rouhani arrived in
:09:31. > :09:35.New York and tweeted the news. Presenting himself as pragmatic and
:09:35. > :09:40.modern. For his world debut, he met a number of leaders, including the
:09:40. > :09:44.French President, Francois Hollande. At the General Assembly, his speech
:09:44. > :09:49.was sober. He tried to allay suspicions about his country's
:09:49. > :09:52.nuclear programme. TRANSLATION: Nuclear weapons and
:09:53. > :09:58.other weapons of mass destruction have no place in Iran's security and
:09:59. > :10:04.defence and contradict our fundamental religious and ethical
:10:04. > :10:08.convictions. Unlike his throat -- predecessor
:10:08. > :10:13.Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the uranium president did not deny the Holocaust
:10:13. > :10:19.and nobody had to walk out in protest. -- the Iranians president.
:10:19. > :10:22.But he did criticise the West's interventions and called the
:10:22. > :10:30.sanctions on Iran unjust and inhuman. Plenty of people, whether
:10:30. > :10:35.protesters in New York or others, says -- say they will never trust
:10:35. > :10:39.the Islamic Republic of Iran. And it is hard to see how the interests can
:10:39. > :10:45.never overlap in the Middle East. Especially in Syria, where it ran
:10:45. > :10:49.supports President Bashar al-Assad. But President Obama is willing to
:10:49. > :10:56.give it a try. We are encouraged that President Rouhani is willing to
:10:56. > :10:59.pursue a more moderate course. Given his stated commitment to reaching
:11:00. > :11:04.agreement, I will pursue this effort. The roadblocks may prove to
:11:04. > :11:08.be too great but I firmly believe the diplomatic path must be tested.
:11:08. > :11:11.World leaders came together for a lunch with the UN Secretary
:11:11. > :11:16.General. The White House had indicated they were open to the idea
:11:16. > :11:20.of a handshake and gathering between Mr Obama Andy Raleigh leader. But in
:11:20. > :11:27.the end, there was no handshake. -- and the leader. He did not show up
:11:27. > :11:34.for lunch. American officials said they understood it was perhaps too
:11:34. > :11:38.complicated still for the Iranians. And these posters are a reminder
:11:39. > :11:43.that 30 years of difficult history will be hard to overcome. So,
:11:43. > :11:48.despite the high expectations, there is nothing tangible so far when it
:11:48. > :11:52.comes to American and Iranians rapprochement in New York. But this
:11:52. > :11:57.is just the beginning of a week-long diplomatic dance between the two
:11:57. > :12:01.countries at the UN. On Thursday, the American Secretary of State will
:12:01. > :12:04.come face-to-face with his Iranians counterpart for a meeting with other
:12:04. > :12:10.countries about Iran's nuclear programme.
:12:10. > :12:13.With me is Sara Bazoobandi, an associate fellow of the Middle East
:12:13. > :12:20.Programme at London think-tank Chatham House. Thank you for joining
:12:20. > :12:26.me. Let me put you that phrase that came from President Rouhani -
:12:26. > :12:28.nuclear weapons would contradict our fundamental religious and ethical
:12:28. > :12:32.convictions. Does that suggest they have ready worked out a limited as
:12:32. > :12:38.it -- the development of their nuclear programme? -- worked out to
:12:38. > :12:42.a limit to? This is something that they frequently put a strong
:12:42. > :12:52.emphasis on, saying, this is against our religion. And this has been one
:12:52. > :12:55.of the channels that they wanted to legitimise their nuclear programme
:12:55. > :13:00.with the international community by saying that they only have a
:13:00. > :13:05.civilian purpose to it. But with a broader picture, I think the
:13:05. > :13:08.translation with this whole statement coming from President
:13:09. > :13:13.Rouhani in this particular moment in time is an acknowledgement of the
:13:13. > :13:17.international pressure, and it shows that the Iranians government is
:13:17. > :13:23.willing to go back to diplomatic levels, even if, initially perhaps,
:13:23. > :13:28.they didn't have the same intentions for their nuclear programme. Maybe
:13:28. > :13:32.they have changed it. Do you think you have clear support within his
:13:32. > :13:38.new Administration, within the civil servants, within the hard liners in
:13:38. > :13:41.Iran for his new position? I think we need to remember that the
:13:41. > :13:46.pressure, especially the economic pressure, is on everybody in Iran.
:13:46. > :13:54.So whether you are a fundamentalist or a reformist, it really is the
:13:54. > :13:58.same at the moment. But does that mean there could be a scaling back
:13:58. > :14:07.of nuclear ambitions? It is more of a bargaining situation. The Iranians
:14:07. > :14:10.are testing the water to see how they approach is received in the
:14:10. > :14:15.West, and if they receive the signals they want to, ie opening up
:14:15. > :14:19.and having more co-operation and more recognition regionally, which
:14:19. > :14:23.is something Iranians are strongly after, then they are going to be
:14:23. > :14:28.willing to further modify their nuclear programme. Now, President
:14:28. > :14:31.Rouhani avoided the lunch where he might have bumped into President
:14:31. > :14:35.Obama so the handshake never happened, but three months into his
:14:35. > :14:39.tenure as president, a more moderate President, what are the signs of how
:14:39. > :14:47.he is succeeding in at least ruling the roost on the policies he wants
:14:48. > :14:54.in Tehran? I think as he confirmed on CNN after his talk at the UN, he
:14:54. > :15:00.has a strong level of authority, a high level of authority, to make
:15:00. > :15:05.decisions and negotiations. But in a very realistic term, nobody should
:15:05. > :15:11.expect a Gorbachev approach from President Rouhani. Iranians have
:15:11. > :15:18.made it very clear that they want the go she Asians to take place in
:15:18. > :15:22.an environment where their rights and their counterparts' rights are
:15:22. > :15:29.considered equally. -- want the negotiations. And a delegation to
:15:29. > :15:36.New York have made a public speech and coined a new phrase for guiding
:15:36. > :15:40.the negotiations, and he said, we expect a heroic flexibility from
:15:40. > :15:43.you. So it means, we are willing to give in when it is needed but not
:15:43. > :15:57.too much, perhaps. Thank you. Still to come: They should be in
:15:57. > :16:02.school. Instead they are working in foreign fields in Lebanon. We have a
:16:02. > :16:08.special report on the fate of Syria's child refugees. And the
:16:08. > :16:13.ultimate match race on the waves as the America's Cup battle goes to the
:16:13. > :16:17.very last race at these kind of speeds.
:16:17. > :16:20.Fans of the Mexican painter Frida Kahlo will soon have access to
:16:20. > :16:22.intimate photos of her private life. Hundreds of photographs are being
:16:23. > :16:26.restored. They will soon be available for the public to view.
:16:26. > :16:29.She is a much-loved figure in the 20th century art world, but was also
:16:29. > :16:42.well known for her tumultuous relationship with Diego Rivera.
:16:42. > :16:49.Catharina Moh reports. Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, famous
:16:49. > :16:53.for their talent, infamous for their on/ off stormy marriage in the
:16:53. > :16:57.20th-century art world. They married, divorced and then married
:16:57. > :17:03.again. But how much do we really know about what went on
:17:03. > :17:07.behind-the-scenes? Now more than 300 photos capturing private moments
:17:07. > :17:12.between the couple are being restored at Frida Kahlo's Blue House
:17:12. > :17:17.in Mexico City. TRANSLATION: There is paint and oil
:17:17. > :17:22.on the photos, you can tell which images were being used when they
:17:22. > :17:26.were painting. There are photos of Diego with lipstick marks from her
:17:26. > :17:32.kisses, showing the affection between them. Curators say some of
:17:32. > :17:35.the photos are an insight into key moments in history and the
:17:35. > :17:41.sociopolitical atmosphere in New York in the 1930s, it also what the
:17:41. > :17:45.couple deemed important. TRANSLATION: How they assembled
:17:45. > :17:49.their painting projects, what they based them on, which images were
:17:49. > :17:54.more important. Some have all types of jottings on them, certain
:17:54. > :17:57.characters from the political sphere and everything in general are
:17:57. > :18:01.marked. Frida Kahlo is best known and everything in general are
:18:01. > :18:06.for her self-portrait, often depicting the searing pain she lived
:18:06. > :18:11.with from breaking her back as a teenager. She died in 1954, and for
:18:11. > :18:15.half a century her personal belongings were kept under lock and
:18:15. > :18:22.key by the museum at the request of her Diego. In all, Frida Kahlo had

:20:27. > :20:31.Just after dawn, time to go. But these children aren't boarding a
:20:31. > :20:38.school bus. The truckers taking them to the fields to work. -- the truck
:20:38. > :20:46.is taking them. They are not dressed for it, they are too young. It is no
:20:46. > :20:49.life for a child. But now these young refugees are doing the jobs of
:20:49. > :20:55.life for a child. But now these adult labourers. They cost much
:20:55. > :20:59.less. Across the fertile Bekaa Valley, children are harvesting
:20:59. > :21:05.crops on Lebanese farms - grapes, potatoes, today it is courgettes. A
:21:05. > :21:16.Syrian middleman keeps them in line and keeps a share of the wages. It
:21:16. > :21:22.is hard work. 13 year-old Ahmed tells me his hands work, but he has
:21:22. > :21:26.to do it to support his family. Tarek Mazloum is from a local
:21:26. > :21:36.charity trying to help Syrian refugees. What have you seen in the
:21:36. > :21:45.fields? They are between four to 14. They work about four or six hours
:21:45. > :21:52.each day. The children have no choice? No, their only choice is to
:21:52. > :21:57.work. Charities like his ensure children also get some education,
:21:57. > :22:04.even if just informal classes in the middle of their tented settlement.
:22:04. > :22:09.It keeps them from falling too far behind. Nothing about these

:22:13. > :22:18.young age, going to make shift classes in the open air. But it is
:22:18. > :22:21.an impossible task to get all of the Syrian children into the Lebanese
:22:21. > :22:27.school system. Here, at least they are safe, they have escaped from the
:22:27. > :22:31.war - and that is something. There are six children in this

:23:04. > :23:10.children are struggling to find answers to a problem that is getting
:23:10. > :23:15.much worse. What was invisible is becoming really visible. This is
:23:16. > :23:22.because the numbers are increasing, families are destitute and they need
:23:22. > :23:26.the money. But it is up to us to find a solution. There are no easy

:23:35. > :23:39.being destroyed here, too. Now look at this. The two fastest
:23:39. > :23:42.sailing yachts - Team Emirates from New Zealand, Team Oracle from the US
:23:42. > :23:49.- battling for the America's Cup trophy. Now Team Oracle has staged
:23:49. > :23:52.one of the greatest comebacks ever. Team New Zealand were 8-1 up in the
:23:52. > :23:57.series, needing just one race victory to win, but Oracle Team USA
:23:57. > :24:10.have won seven races in a row. The series is a tie. The final race will
:24:10. > :24:20.take place in San Francisco Bay. The teams have 40 minutes to cross the
:24:20. > :24:26.finish line. The America's Cup is 162 years old, the oldest trophy in
:24:26. > :24:29.international sport, predating the Ashes and the modern Olympics by
:24:29. > :24:32.decades. The catamarans reach speeds of up to 80 kilometres an hour as
:24:32. > :24:36.they race around the course. Since 1851, only four countries have won
:24:36. > :24:39.the America's Cup - the US, New Zealand, Australia and Switzerland.
:24:39. > :24:49.With the latest on this year's race, here's the BBC's Tulsen Tollett.
:24:49. > :24:52.On a sea of great expectations, the New Zealanders were penalised before

:24:58. > :25:06.in a double penalty as the two boats started the crossing line.
:25:06. > :25:09.Given the fact that the Americans have shown superior tactical
:25:09. > :25:13.knowledge over the past week, it was a foregone conclusion that they
:25:13. > :25:20.narrowed the deficit to just one point, with a 27 second victory. In
:25:20. > :25:23.race 18, the Kiwi boat was much more aggressive and took an early
:25:24. > :25:28.advantage. Any hopes of winning back the America's Cup was soon dashed as
:25:28. > :25:34.Team USA hit back. Software billionaire Larry Ellis's boat stood
:25:34. > :25:38.tall to win by a massive 54 seconds. The comeback is even more impressive
:25:38. > :25:44.given that, before the regatta, they were docked two points for illegal
:25:44. > :25:48.modifications. It is the most exciting day of our lives, we would
:25:48. > :25:57.not want to be anywhere routs. It is an absolute shocker. We are trying
:25:58. > :26:05.to mix it up our -- a bit, but we have got ourselves in a bad spot.
