:00:07. > :00:18.Hello. This is BBC World News. Reports of multiple attacks on
:00:18. > :00:22.security forces in Egypt after a night of bloody violence in Cairo.
:00:23. > :00:31.John Kerry defends the capture of an Al-Qaeda leader in Libya. He is a
:00:31. > :00:36.legal and appropriate target for the US military under the organisation
:00:36. > :00:44.of the use of military force in September 2001.
:00:44. > :00:47.And we will be live in Manchester as the Philadelphia 76erss meets
:00:47. > :01:09.Oklahoma on British soil. Egyptian security forces are
:01:09. > :01:15.reported to have been targeted in a wave of attacks across the country.
:01:15. > :01:29.Gunmen have killed five Egyptian soldiers at a checkpoint north of
:01:29. > :01:40.the Suez Canal city of issue -- Ismailyial. Let's catch up with what
:01:40. > :01:46.all of this means. Who is going to be responsible for this? The
:01:46. > :01:55.authorities have been struggling to answer that question for weeks now,
:01:55. > :01:59.if not months. They are searching in different parts of the country. The
:01:59. > :02:05.Muslim Brotherhood are not the sole group that the authorities might be
:02:05. > :02:11.in confrontation with right now. We are talking about attacks stretching
:02:11. > :02:16.from the western borders to the Suez Canal area, and even in Cairo we had
:02:16. > :02:24.attacks yesterday. This sends the message that the critical time for
:02:24. > :02:29.Egypt's security is not over yet. The Muslim Brotherhood is now at the
:02:29. > :02:33.centre of the current authorities pressures. But many are feeling that
:02:33. > :02:40.actually they are not the ones that could only resort to violence. There
:02:40. > :02:43.are other groups who are more capable of going underground and of
:02:43. > :02:49.launching attacks like the ones we have seen yesterday and in the past
:02:49. > :02:53.few weeks. These groups can have grudges against the authorities,
:02:53. > :02:58.either for deposing the first Islamist president in the country or
:02:58. > :03:03.for simply trying to spread chaos at a critical time for Egypt. The
:03:03. > :03:06.infiltration of other groups, this a critical time for Egypt. The
:03:06. > :03:13.is exactly what we have seen elsewhere in the Middle East. It is
:03:13. > :03:19.extraordinary to see it in Egypt. People will know these places. Any
:03:19. > :03:25.attack that can happen in the Sinai peninsula can have a major effect on
:03:25. > :03:35.the truism industry. It has been suffering already -- truism
:03:35. > :03:42.industry. -- tourism. We have to leave it there, thank you.
:03:42. > :03:47.The American Secretary of State has defended the capture of an alleged
:03:47. > :03:53.Al-Qaeda leader, calling him a legal and appropriate target. He was
:03:53. > :03:59.wanted in connection of the bombing of US embassies in Africa 15 years
:03:59. > :04:03.ago. He is reportedly being held on a US naval ship after being seized
:04:03. > :04:08.by special forces in Libya on Saturday. The authorities have
:04:08. > :04:17.demand an investigation. John Kerry has defended the raid. He is a key
:04:17. > :04:21.Al-Qaeda figure. He is illegal and an appropriate target for the US
:04:21. > :04:32.military under the authorisation of the use of military force passed in
:04:32. > :04:37.September 2001. Of course, we regularly consult with our friends
:04:37. > :04:42.in the region, with the Libyan government on a range of security
:04:42. > :04:47.issues, but we do not get into the specifics of our communications with
:04:47. > :04:54.foreign governments on any kind of operation of this kind. That raid in
:04:54. > :04:59.Libya was not the only one carried out in Africa against Islamist
:04:59. > :05:04.militants by the US special forces. They also landed in Somalia, in a
:05:04. > :05:11.town controlled by the Al-Shabab group claimed to be behind the
:05:11. > :05:18.attack in Kenya. That did not result in any senior militants being
:05:18. > :05:24.captured. Was the Somali operation a mistake if they did not get anybody?
:05:24. > :05:29.That is what will be asked after this because the Americans were very
:05:29. > :05:41.sure that they were about to capture the leader of Al-Shabab. They failed
:05:42. > :05:48.to capture him. They did not get any high-profile targets. Those are the
:05:48. > :05:51.questions about what went wrong. Was it an operational mess? The
:05:51. > :06:01.Americans are bound to answer this in the coming days. Who went in from
:06:01. > :06:06.the American special forces? SEALs. The same guys that took out Osama
:06:06. > :06:10.Bin Laden. They had a lot of intelligence about the movement of
:06:10. > :06:18.Al-Shabab leaders. About four years ago is, they took out a senior
:06:18. > :06:22.Al-Qaeda operative here. But looking at how this operation is conducted,
:06:22. > :06:27.there are questions about was the intelligence correct about who was
:06:27. > :06:31.there, and if the leader of Al-Shabab was there, did he escape
:06:31. > :06:37.or did somebody tipped him off? Intelligence is crucial but it does,
:06:37. > :06:41.as the Americans say, show that the US is determined to try to control
:06:41. > :06:45.what is going on in this area of Africa and to show they will not
:06:45. > :06:52.stomach what we saw in Kenya a few weeks ago. America has got a lot of
:06:52. > :06:56.intelligence shared with the Kenyan authorities. They have been hunting
:06:56. > :07:03.down Al-Qaeda affiliated Al-Shabab for a long time. They are also
:07:03. > :07:07.flying drones across this region. They are monitoring activities of
:07:07. > :07:12.these groups and trying to work with Kenyan authorities to try to end the
:07:12. > :07:18.operations by Al-Shabab in this region. But this operation is new.
:07:18. > :07:20.The tactics were a bit different from over the years. In the long
:07:20. > :07:25.The tactics were a bit different term, that does not mean they are
:07:25. > :07:29.getting out of the region. They will still be involved and whether they
:07:29. > :07:35.finally managed to tackle Al-Shabab leaders is something we will have to
:07:35. > :07:45.see in the long-term. Thank you. John Kerry has of course been pretty
:07:45. > :07:49.busy during his trip to the APEC two India. He praised the Syrian
:07:49. > :07:54.government for complying with the chemical weapons deal. The US is now
:07:54. > :08:04.calling for a UN peace conference to be held on Syria next month.
:08:04. > :08:16.Divers have recovered 83 bodies from a boat carrying refugees. More than
:08:16. > :08:21.300 African refugees are feared to have died. The ship is lying in such
:08:21. > :08:25.deep water that the divers could only spend minutes there before
:08:25. > :08:35.having to return to the surface. Still the bodies come. The death
:08:35. > :08:39.toll has been rising for days. Many bodies are believed to have been
:08:39. > :08:41.trapped in the wreck. It is not easy to operate at that depth. The time
:08:41. > :08:44.you can stay under water is about to operate at that depth. The time
:08:44. > :08:50.six or seven minutes and then you must come up. Once the bodies are
:08:50. > :08:58.recovered, the grim process of identification begins.
:08:58. > :09:03.TRANSLATION: We are now conducting the first examinations of the
:09:03. > :09:08.corpses, taking pictures of them. Then we take samples of DNA for
:09:08. > :09:12.possible identification. When the boat sank off Lampedusa on
:09:12. > :09:18.Thursday, it had almost made it to the coast. Hundreds of migrants were
:09:18. > :09:22.on board, most of them from Eritrea and Somalia. Every year tens of
:09:22. > :09:27.thousands of migrants make the crossing from North Africa to
:09:27. > :09:34.Italian islands. Accidents like this are common, just not on this scale.
:09:34. > :09:36.The tiny island is struggling with what has happened.
:09:36. > :09:44.TRANSLATION: The islanders feel very distressed. All you hear people
:09:44. > :09:50.talking about is death. It is an endless tragedy. There are over 150
:09:50. > :09:53.survivors. They have come to the island's already overcrowded
:09:53. > :10:01.immigration centre. TRANSLATION: There are 950 migrants
:10:01. > :10:05.at the centre. It is clearly a difficult situation, especially with
:10:05. > :10:12.winter arriving. Some of them have slept outdoors in the past days. The
:10:12. > :10:17.survivors will be investigated for clandestine immigration, an offence
:10:17. > :10:19.that carries a hefty fine. Italy has said it will amend its controversial
:10:19. > :10:23.that carries a hefty fine. Italy has asylum laws, and has also called for
:10:23. > :10:30.more assistance from Europe to cope with the influx of migrants risking
:10:30. > :10:33.their lives to reach its shores. Typhoon has slammed into China
:10:33. > :10:37.forcing the authorities to move hundreds of thousands of people to
:10:37. > :10:43.safety, with wind speeds of more than 150 kilometres an hour. The
:10:43. > :10:52.storm brought heavy rains and caused widespread power cuts. What is the
:10:52. > :10:57.state of play? It has made landfall in eastern China and is weakening.
:10:57. > :11:04.It needs the heat from the sea to maintain strength. We watched it
:11:04. > :11:07.form out in the Pacific as a little tropical weather system. It
:11:07. > :11:12.strengthened from a tropical storm to a typhoon and began to drift
:11:12. > :11:23.further west. At one stage there was a distinct eye. I don't know where
:11:23. > :11:29.our pictures have gone! We are hoping to see some satellite
:11:30. > :11:36.pictures if we can bring those. I am painting a picture in terms of its
:11:36. > :11:44.star erections! It was big enough to affect two provinces -- in terms of
:11:44. > :11:50.its directions. It had a lot of rain that caused starting and a storm
:11:50. > :11:57.surge as well. Rather big waves but also a tidal bore, that is the wave
:11:57. > :12:02.that forms at the leading edge of the type that comes in and because
:12:02. > :12:06.it was high tide, that was more dramatic and bigger than usual and
:12:06. > :12:12.lots of people turned out. Those waves are massive. That was why it
:12:12. > :12:25.was such a big spectacle and white a lot of people were anticipating
:12:25. > :12:29.that. Just quickly, how does this fit into the general season. It is
:12:29. > :12:37.the fifth typhoon of the season this year in the Pacific. Last year we
:12:37. > :12:41.had 12. The season has not been as severe but there have been 23
:12:41. > :12:47.tropical storms and that is fairly close to the forecast of the
:12:47. > :12:52.average, but this peaked from May to October. We have another typhoon
:12:52. > :12:57.that is now affecting the islands to the south of Japan, so southern
:12:57. > :12:59.Japan and South Korea need to watch out for this storm. It is already
:12:59. > :13:03.Japan and South Korea need to watch more powerful than this one but it
:13:03. > :13:08.is now expected to weaken a little bit in the coming days. So if you
:13:08. > :13:19.are in that every year, keep across our weather forecasts.
:13:19. > :13:22.Stay with us. Still to come: We will investigate the crumbling buildings
:13:22. > :13:32.of Mumbai where families risk their lives to call them home.
:13:32. > :13:44.Now, earlier we touched on the meeting between John Kerry and his
:13:44. > :13:55.Russian counterpart on the outskirts of the APEC meeting in Indonesia.
:13:55. > :13:59.The ongoing uncertainty caused by the US government shutdown is set to
:13:59. > :14:03.dominate events there, especially given that President Obama decided
:14:03. > :14:13.not to attend given those events in Washington.
:14:13. > :14:21.One by one they arrive. The Chinese leader, one of the first. Platini
:14:21. > :14:28.Putin is still to come but one thing that will not be landing here is a
:14:28. > :14:32.false one -- Vladimir Putin. The host, Indonesian president, told me
:14:32. > :14:46.that President Obama would be missed. The work must carry on.
:14:46. > :14:54.After a week of hard work by ministers, this is the moment when
:14:54. > :14:58.the top leaders are supposed to move in and sign off on all sorts of
:14:58. > :15:03.deals to promote economic operation, including something that
:15:03. > :15:08.America has been hot on the trail off. If free-trade zone that would
:15:08. > :15:12.circle the Pacific rim but leave out China, challenging their dominance
:15:12. > :15:20.in the region. John Kerry will do his best to keep things moving but
:15:20. > :15:24.these things are mostly about turning up. It seems like there is
:15:24. > :15:34.nothing like actual togetherness to bring about harmony. In other news,
:15:34. > :15:38.a bomb in north-west Pakistan has killed at least two people near a
:15:38. > :15:42.hospital marking the start of a new anti-polio campaign. The attack
:15:42. > :15:45.happened near the provincial capital Peshawar. The lie in Mexico, at
:15:46. > :15:50.least six people have been killed and dozens injured after a modified
:15:50. > :15:54.pick-up truck went out of control and crashed into spectators. The
:15:54. > :16:00.driver has been arrested and charged with manslaughter. Much more on all
:16:00. > :16:09.of our new stories on the BBC News website.
:16:09. > :16:14.I am Geeta Guru-Murthy with the latest headlines. Reports of
:16:14. > :16:22.multiple attacks on security forces in Egypt, that is coming after a
:16:22. > :16:26.night of more violence in Cairo. US Secretary of State John Kerry has
:16:26. > :16:35.defended the US siege of a suspected Al-Qaeda leader in Libya who he said
:16:35. > :16:38.was a legal and appropriate target. When cities expand rapidly, they
:16:38. > :16:42.face huge pressure to create enough accommodation for all the people who
:16:42. > :16:45.want to live there, and that is particularly apparent in man by, and
:16:45. > :16:47.it is no coincidence that there has been as many as seven buildings
:16:47. > :16:51.collapsing in the last six months. been as many as seven buildings
:16:51. > :16:59.Many more buildings are known to be unsafe, but people are still living
:16:59. > :17:06.in them. This is central Mumbai. It has been
:17:06. > :17:15.condemned as dangerous to live in, yet more than 11 families call it
:17:15. > :17:24.home. This man has Leitir Mor than 20 years, and he says there is no
:17:24. > :17:28.way he can leave. TRANSLATION: I cannot afford to buy a new house, so
:17:28. > :17:33.despite the cracks we have no option but to live here. When I go out to
:17:33. > :17:38.work, I keep calling home, because I am worried about what might happen.
:17:38. > :17:41.It is not just this building. Even the one next door has been
:17:41. > :17:46.identified as dangerous by the civic administration, and there are nearly
:17:46. > :17:50.1000 more such buildings in Mumbai. People continue to live in many of
:17:50. > :17:55.them, and lives have been lost when some have come crashing down. This
:17:55. > :18:02.amateur video shows house with glee it happens. Windows begin to
:18:02. > :18:08.shatter. Seconds later, the walls disintegrate. The authorities say
:18:08. > :18:14.they have been trying to get people to vacate unsafe structures.
:18:14. > :18:17.TRANSLATION: We do provide temporary accommodation for people while their
:18:18. > :18:22.buildings are being prepared or reconstructed, but often these
:18:22. > :18:25.houses are located in places where people find it inconvenient to get
:18:25. > :18:31.to their jobs or school, so they don't want to move there. In many
:18:31. > :18:35.cases, though, poor quality construction has been blamed. In
:18:35. > :18:41.April, this is building came crashing down, killing more than 70
:18:41. > :18:46.people. It was found to be made of substandard material. The city has
:18:46. > :18:52.never provided housing for its poor, the section which cannot
:18:52. > :18:56.afford to buy at market prices. This kind of semi-illegal construction
:18:56. > :19:00.takes place, and lots of people who come from outside the city, who are
:19:00. > :19:06.in need of jobs, they get lured to buy them at cheaper rates. And
:19:06. > :19:12.developers do take this very dangerous risk. It is often alleged
:19:12. > :19:17.in Mumbai that illegal construction practices are simply ignored by
:19:17. > :19:29.those in power. Mistrust of developers or residence runs so deep
:19:29. > :19:33.that agreement on repairs can take years. But the city's government is
:19:34. > :19:43.under pressure to act before another building turns to rubble.
:19:43. > :19:46.One year ago this week, schoolgirl Malala Yousafzai was shot by the
:19:46. > :19:52.Calabar near her home in Pakistan. Her only crime was to have spoken
:19:52. > :19:56.out for girls' education. -- the Taleban. She now goes to school in
:19:56. > :20:00.Birmingham and has become internationally known as a
:20:00. > :20:05.campaigner on education. She has been nominated for the Nobel ease
:20:06. > :20:07.prize. The Pakistani High Commissioner to the United Kingdom
:20:07. > :20:10.prize. The Pakistani High spoke to me and I asked whether he
:20:10. > :20:16.thought she deserved the prize. Well, I think she deserves it, and
:20:16. > :20:20.she should get it, and the amount of work she has done, including the
:20:20. > :20:24.sacrifice she has rendered by being shot by the Taleban, which was
:20:24. > :20:30.definitely a challenge to them, that she can still stand up to them, like
:20:30. > :20:33.many women in Pakistan who are fighting for the rights of education
:20:33. > :20:39.for women, which is a fundamental right guaranteed by the state. But
:20:39. > :20:44.why is the state still unable to guarantee it? Why is your government
:20:44. > :20:48.still unable to deliver what this schoolgirl is campaigning for so
:20:48. > :20:54.heroically? The government is doing its best to deliver, you know, it is
:20:54. > :20:57.an enormous task. We have had a war for the last ten years with these
:20:58. > :21:03.Taleban and these terrorists, and we spend so much on fighting them, $70
:21:03. > :21:06.billion so far... But one half of your government might very well be
:21:07. > :21:11.fighting the Pakistan Taleban, but the other half is sponsoring the
:21:11. > :21:14.Afghan Taliban, as many observers will say, and what goes around comes
:21:14. > :21:22.around. I'm afraid this misperception. We are equally
:21:22. > :21:26.treating them, you know, as enemies of the Afghan people and enemies of
:21:26. > :21:30.the Pakistani people, and we believe that they have to be fought and
:21:30. > :21:34.eliminated totally in order to have peace in the region. The Afghanistan
:21:34. > :21:40.government is taking enormous steps, and they have succeeded quite
:21:40. > :21:44.a bit, and so are we. Do you deny that any part of the Pakistan
:21:44. > :21:49.government sponsors all supports any member of the Taleban in
:21:49. > :21:56.Afghanistan, or the region at all? I totally deny... That is not what
:21:56. > :22:00.Western military intelligence agencies have said. I totally deny
:22:00. > :22:05.that the Pakistani Taliban or Pakistani government sponsors all
:22:05. > :22:10.supports or in anyway assists the Afghan Taliban. Or any militants
:22:10. > :22:14.question any militants. It is against state policy and against the
:22:14. > :22:19.policy of the government. Do you think you are perhaps just unaware
:22:19. > :22:22.of it? I am the High Commissioner of Pakistan, I should know everything
:22:22. > :22:26.about Pakistan and what is happening in the region, and I know for
:22:26. > :22:29.certain that we do not support any of these groups that are creating
:22:29. > :22:37.trouble, either in Afghanistan or Pakistan. Are fighting them. The
:22:37. > :22:41.Pakistani High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, Wajid Shamsul Hasan,
:22:41. > :22:44.speaking to me earlier. One year on from her attack, Malala Yousafzai
:22:44. > :22:48.has been speaking to Mishal Husain about what happened that day and her
:22:48. > :22:50.hopes for the future. You can watch the exclusive reports starting in
:22:50. > :22:53.about ten minutes' time, viewers in the exclusive reports starting in
:22:53. > :22:56.the UK can see them on the news and one.
:22:57. > :23:00.Something different, and the UK does not have much of a sporting heritage
:23:00. > :23:03.when it comes to basketball, but there will be nothing second-rate
:23:04. > :23:08.about the competition that is unfolding in Manchester in the North
:23:08. > :23:12.of England tomorrow, because two of the leading teams from the North
:23:12. > :23:16.American NBA are playing as part of their preseason global tour. Chris
:23:16. > :23:20.Mitchell can tell us more, I know that basketball players are helped
:23:20. > :23:28.if they are told, that is as much as I know!
:23:28. > :23:35.Yes, forget Manchester United, forget Manchester City, because this
:23:35. > :23:39.city at the moment is all about the NBA. They have arrived, they are
:23:39. > :23:44.just on the outskirts of the courtier in the heart of the city in
:23:44. > :23:49.the North of England. This is part of the NBA's plans to expand the
:23:49. > :23:53.game globally. They are already beginning in the night course, and
:23:53. > :23:58.right now they have got 12 teams in ten cities around the world playing
:23:58. > :24:04.preseason games. It is all part of David Stone's attempts to sell the
:24:04. > :24:08.game around the world. The Philadelphia team are on court
:24:08. > :24:12.practising right now, and they have brought everything with them, right
:24:12. > :24:17.down to the drinks, the towels and the big screens, of course, which
:24:17. > :24:23.they love in North American sport. It is interesting, though, why are
:24:23. > :24:27.they doing this right now? Why are they trying to expand around the
:24:27. > :24:29.world? It is because the American market is saturated. Right now, the
:24:29. > :24:33.market in China, where the Lakers market is saturated. Right now, the
:24:33. > :24:38.are playing, and in Brazil where the Chicago Bulls are playing a
