Hello. Our top stories: The OPCW, the body overseeing the destruction | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
of Syria's chemical weapons, wins the Nobel Peace Prize. Millions of | :00:14. | :00:19. | |
dollars promised to help the thousands of migrants risking | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
everything for a new life in Europe - how to prevent more disasters. | :00:22. | :00:32. | |
First signs of a solution to the US Federal budget political stalemate. | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
The Republicans offer to raise the debt ceiling. And we pay a visit to | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
what they are calling the most colourful show in town, returning | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
100 years after it first inspired New York's art lovers. | :00:41. | :00:59. | |
This year's Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to the body that | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
oversees the destruction of chemical weapons. The Organisation | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons is recognised not only for | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
its work just begun in Syria, but also for its operations around the | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
world, for the past few years. It is based in the Hague and it | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
enforces the chemical weapons convention. This is how the Nobel | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
Committee announced their decision in Oslo. | :01:22. | :01:30. | |
Well, we cannot hear that at the moment. Let's hear from Daniel | :01:30. | :01:41. | |
Hyslop from the Institute for Economics and Peace and asked him | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
what he thought of this year's winner. I am very surprised, given | :01:44. | :01:50. | |
the fact the Nobel Prize was awarded to an Balkanisation last | :01:50. | :02:00. | |
year. Not many people expected and organisation to win this year. -- | :02:00. | :02:07. | |
and organisation. Not so people were talking about Malala Yousafzai. | :02:07. | :02:19. | |
This is very much centre-stage. I think, really, the message this is | :02:19. | :02:25. | |
sending is that the prohibition of Chemical weapons is incredibly | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
important. The norm that chemical weapons is used in complete needs | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
to be recognised they cannot be used. They are incredibly | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
destructive. It is also recognising how effective this organisation is | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
destructive. It is also recognising being. Effective but it does not | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
destructive. It is also recognising have a big budget. It is only 500 | :02:46. | :02:53. | |
people in The Hague. Only 200 of those are inspectors. It is | :02:53. | :02:59. | |
relatively small funding - about $100 million. It is funded by the | :02:59. | :03:05. | |
member states. Not a huge organisation. It is not so much | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
about resources but more about the political messages to sending about | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
chemical weapons. The politics of this is not something the Nobel | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
committee wants to get into. There are still several countries who | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
have not signed up to the Chemical weapons Convention. A month ago | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
Syria had not signed up and then it said it would. Willis have an | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
impact on the politics of chemical weapons? -- will this have? It puts | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
pressure on states that do not sign weapons? -- will this have? It puts | :03:40. | :03:48. | |
up. It is very important to draw attention to it. It is also an | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
important to draw attention to the existing stock cars which have not | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
been removed. Here we are seeing some of the inspectors leaving. | :03:58. | :04:05. | |
They have to have an audit by the end of November of Syria's chemical | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
weapons and destroy them all by the middle of next year. It is a huge | :04:09. | :04:18. | |
task. I think they are dealing with a number of challenges in an | :04:18. | :04:24. | |
incredibly complex conflict. Many people have been killed in this | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
conflict. As many actors on the ground, it will be challenging. | :04:28. | :04:36. | |
This is the port of Lampedusa, a tiny Italian island halfway between | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
the mainland and North Africa. These are the coffins of some of | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
the 311 people who drowned last week when a fishing boat carrying | :04:42. | :04:48. | |
migrants capsized a kilometre away. These are some who survived. The | :04:48. | :04:54. | |
Italian Coast Guard are still looking for bodies. That tragedy | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
highlighted both a massive humanitarian and political | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
challenge. Two other boats arrived safely that day. Here's the scale | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
of the problems. The UN says more than 15,000 reached Italy most via | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
Lampedusa, and Malta from north Africa last year. This year, that | :05:09. | :05:16. | |
number is more than 30,000 to Italy alone. That's as many as at the | :05:16. | :05:22. | |
peak of the Arab Spring two years ago. The UN says many journeys | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
originate from the Libyan coast around Tripoli. These are the main | :05:26. | :05:35. | |
countries of origin for those fleeing to Europe. Somalia and | :05:35. | :05:45. | |
Eritrea, plus Syria. Many come from West Africa and sub-Saharan Africa. | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
There are no clear statistics on where they get to after Italy. | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
Matthew Price is in Lampedusa following the events. This is the | :05:55. | :06:03. | |
latest group of refugees that have been taken away from the island. | :06:03. | :06:09. | |
Largely speaking, it is a group of unaccompanied children - those we | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
believe below the age of 17 and from Africa. They illustrate really | :06:14. | :06:20. | |
one of the huge problems for Europe - what to do about the refugee | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
crisis as a whole and what to do especially well very vulnerable | :06:26. | :06:27. | |
people indeed. It may be that some especially well very vulnerable | :06:27. | :06:33. | |
of these young people have no relatives and talk on the entire | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
continent of Europe. Italian authorities are taking them on this | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
very to the island of Sicily, where they will be held in another | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
refugee centre and it will have to be worked out what happens to them, | :06:44. | :06:50. | |
how do they get adequate protection and security. We are told by | :06:50. | :06:56. | |
charity workers it is often quite difficult with young children | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
because they form tight bonds on their journeys over to Europe and | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
they form tight network swimming up in the camps when I arrived. | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
Sometimes, they have to separate those groups and so and individuals | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
to different places and that can be incredibly difficult. More of going | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
on to the boat at the moment. Every single refugee who arise in Europe | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
is an honourable. These are on the more vulnerable. -- is vulnerable. | :07:25. | :07:36. | |
The Swedish consulate in Bengazi, Libya's second largest city, has | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
been targeted by unknown militants. No casualties have been reported. | :07:40. | :07:46. | |
Nobody has claimed responsibility for the attack. This was days after | :07:46. | :07:52. | |
the US Special forces raid captured the Libyan Al-Qaeda suspect, plus | :07:52. | :07:58. | |
what happened yesterday with the seizure of the interim Prime | :07:58. | :08:07. | |
Minister from a hotel in Italy. The endgame may be in sight to resolve | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
the ten days of federal government shutdown after weeks of budget | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
brinkmanship in the US. The Republicans have proposed a short- | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
term increase in the country's debt limit. That would mean the US would | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
avoid defaulting on its debts next week. | :08:19. | :08:31. | |
The House Speaker was uncharacteristically silent after | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
his meeting at the White House. After 90 minutes of talking with | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
President Obama, no decisions were made or rejected. A possible | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
glimmer of hope. We had a very useful meeting. It was clarified | :08:46. | :08:53. | |
for both sides as to where we are wrong. -- clarifying. Teams will be | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
talking further tonight. We will have more discussion. Conversation | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
talking further tonight. We will with house Republicans came about | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
after earlier in the day when a new deal was offered. What we want to | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
do is offer the President the ability to move - a temporary | :09:11. | :09:17. | |
increase in the debt ceiling in agreement to go to conference on | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
the Budget. And for his willingness to sit around and discuss with us a | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
way forward to reopen the Government and to start the deal | :09:25. | :09:31. | |
went America's pressing problems. A temporary rescue from default but | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
it kicks the can down the road for negotiations on the debt ceiling. | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
it kicks the can down the road for The same political spat will rear | :09:37. | :09:44. | |
its head again. The noise coming from the White House was not as | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
dismissive as it has been in the past few weeks. It is certainly at | :09:48. | :09:57. | |
least an encouraging sign that they are not listening to debt limit and | :09:57. | :10:05. | |
default to nines. Perhaps Eythorne in the intense relations. -- a | :10:05. | :10:13. | |
whole. It seems a warm relationship is a little weight off. -- way off. | :10:13. | :10:24. | |
Karachi is the giant port city in Pakistan. It is notorious for daily | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
shootings, kidnappings and extortion. More than 2000 people | :10:28. | :10:34. | |
have been killed in the first nine months of the ship and then. | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
Security is of big concern. Is it something only the rich can afford? | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
-- this year alone . The full strength of bullet proof | :10:42. | :11:02. | |
protection. This is where it is done. Vehicles are armoured with | :11:02. | :11:10. | |
metal plates to make them bullet and bomb resistant. It is an | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
expensive proposition but one that the rich and powerful in Pakistan | :11:15. | :11:23. | |
are turning to for their own protection. Five, six months back, | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
are estimated protection was five litres per month. We are looking to | :11:26. | :11:39. | |
extend our business. Most of the clients like to stay out of the | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
line night. A Karachi businessman has faced growing effects of | :11:44. | :11:56. | |
extortion and kidnapping. I think Bennett afternoon. -- they are | :11:56. | :12:05. | |
failing. I think we need more police. Security forces like these | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
were given additional powers to clamp down on militant groups and | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
criminal gangs linked to the main political parties in the city. The | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
socle targeted operation was launched by the Prime Minister. -- | :12:20. | :12:26. | |
be so called targeted operation. It has yielded mixed results. There is | :12:26. | :12:32. | |
a sense that steps have been taken to tackle everyday violence. His | :12:32. | :12:39. | |
mother of two says she hopes this lull in violence is not temporary. | :12:39. | :12:47. | |
Top politicians have private security and police who are there. | :12:47. | :12:51. | |

Top politicians have private who have to drop their children to | :12:53. | :12:57. | |

The campaign group, Human Rights Watch, has accused Islamic rebel | :13:33. | :13:39. | |
groups of cowering among all crimes during an offensive in August. -- | :13:39. | :13:50. | |
carrying out war crimes. Human Rights Watch filmed these pictures | :13:50. | :13:57. | |
in the Alawite village in northern Syria. It was after the end of a | :13:57. | :14:03. | |
two week rebel offensive in August. The organisation accuses Islamist | :14:03. | :14:09. | |
rebels of executing entire Alawite families and taking more than 200 | :14:09. | :14:15. | |
civilians hostage. What we found when we entered the villages is | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
that Holmes had been destroyed - burnt. For the most part that | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
villages had not returned. A number of villages we spoke to explain to | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
us what they found when they return to the area on 19th of will reset, | :14:29. | :14:33. | |

Human Rights Watch accuses this carrying out the attacks. this is | :15:22. | :15:32. | |
one of many movements which make-up the Syrian opposition. It makes | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
indiscriminate attacks and bombings. The West has designated the group a | :15:37. | :15:42. | |
terrorist organisation. The rebel attacks against the Alawite | :15:42. | :15:47. | |
villages highlight the increasing problem faced by countries opposing | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
President Bashar al-Assad. The rebels, whose cause they share, are | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
now accused of the same kinds of crimes as the President not want to | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
bring down. The latest headlines for you: | :15:58. | :16:13. | |
Nobel Peace Prize has been won by the organisation overseeing the | :16:13. | :16:16. | |
destruction of chemical weapons in Syria. The OPCW was revealed as the | :16:16. | :16:18. | |
winner of the 2013 prize in Oslo. Syria. The OPCW was revealed as the | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
The European Union considers increasing patrols in the | :16:23. | :16:26. | |

Under Taliban rule in Afghanistan, sports stadiums were more renowned | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
for executions than football matches, but that has now changed. | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
The first ever final of the Afghan Premier League is taking place at | :16:40. | :16:45. | |
this moment in Kabul. Chief international correspondent Lyse | :16:45. | :16:46. | |
Doucet met the teams as they international correspondent Lyse | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
prepared for the game. Football training as it sounds | :16:50. | :16:59. | |
anywhere. Pass the ball, the coach shouts at his team as they prepare | :16:59. | :17:04. | |
for today's big game. But in a country divided by war, this is more | :17:04. | :17:14. | |
than just sport. Football is like this man are inspiring a new | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
national spirit at the stadium where the Taleban once carried out harsh | :17:17. | :17:25. | |
Islamic punishments. He remembers those years as the | :17:25. | :17:31. | |
worst in his career. TRANSLATION: Be for one match, the Taleban brought | :17:31. | :17:37. | |
in a person and shot him, then two people were brought in, their hands | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
were Abbie did it. After that, no-one was interested in seeing | :17:41. | :17:46. | |
football. -- amputated. Now a nation is watching, including the | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
president. On the other side of Kabul, the opposing team receives a | :17:50. | :17:56. | |
rival pep talk. This team is from the north, but it cuts across ethnic | :17:56. | :18:03. | |
lines. TRANSLATION: We are all Afghans, we don't think about which | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
province each buyer comes from, we feel like brothers and play well | :18:07. | :18:13. | |
together. The creators of this new Premier League hope that the power | :18:13. | :18:18. | |
of sport can change Afghanistan's turbulent politics, too. Do you | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
think there is a lesson for politicians? Of course! Teamwork, | :18:21. | :18:30. | |
transparency, goal oriented projects, and thinking for | :18:30. | :18:37. | |
sustainable development. At a popular cafe, Afghan activists | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
expressed hope that football can help their drive for political | :18:40. | :18:43. | |
change in the upcoming presidential elections. There were 11 men who | :18:43. | :18:49. | |
brought pride to 32 million people, and none of them was holding a gun. | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
What you are seeing is a new narrative of what it means to be a | :18:53. | :18:54. | |
hero, and I hope that our leaders in narrative of what it means to be a | :18:54. | :19:00. | |
this election realise that. Today it is football that matters, but no | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
matter who wins or loses the final, these players know that the goal | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
that matters is for Afghanistan to succeed. | :19:08. | :19:14. | |
It is said that elephants never forget, but it seems they also | :19:14. | :19:19. | |
instinct we understand what human gestures mean. Scientists from the | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
University of St Andrews in Scotland have discovered that elephants can | :19:22. | :19:27. | |
find food when someone points to it. Victoria Gill explains. | :19:27. | :19:34. | |
They are nature's giants. African elephants are already famed for | :19:34. | :19:36. | |
They are nature's giants. African their intelligence, but scientists | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
have now discovered that they seem to understand a very human gesture. | :19:38. | :19:44. | |
In this test, carried out at a safari lodge in Zimbabwe, research | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
is from the University of St Andrews hid food in one of two identical | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
buckets. When the scientist pointed to the bucket containing the treat, | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
the elephants instinctively followed the gesture and found their reward. | :19:55. | :20:01. | |
The scientists think it is this innate understanding of human | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
gestures that has enabled people to work so closely with elephants, | :20:04. | :20:09. | |
despite their intimate in size. And that is something that animal | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
keepers who interact with elephants every day testing. I think humans | :20:12. | :20:13. | |
and elephants definitely have an every day testing. I think humans | :20:13. | :20:20. | |
interaction. When you work with them, when they have an off day, you | :20:20. | :20:25. | |
can feel it. If you do, they can sense it, and especially the | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
training sessions that we do not always as productive as they could | :20:28. | :20:33. | |
be the cost of that interaction and that bond. The next step is to try | :20:33. | :20:39. | |
to find out if elephants might even use those impressive manoeuvrable | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
trunks to gesture to one another in the wild. Finding a hidden | :20:42. | :20:48. | |
elephant's sign language is likely to require a little more than two | :20:48. | :20:55. | |
buckets and a hidden treat. Now a story of high achievement. The | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
latest in our 100 women series, Pretty Yende is fast becoming one of | :20:59. | :21:04. | |
the stars of the international opera scene. Her spectacular voice as won | :21:04. | :21:09. | |
a string of international awards and hinder access to the majestic | :21:09. | :21:14. | |
settings of La Scala in Milan and New York's Metropolitan Opera house. | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
And as the BBC's Milton Nkosi reports from the South African | :21:18. | :21:22. | |
town, she has become a huge inspiration back Rome. | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
-- back home. Pretty Yende has come a long way | :21:26. | :21:36. | |
since her days as the lead soprano in the choir here in her old high | :21:36. | :21:42. | |
school. You can see in the kids' eyes, you know, the joy and the | :21:42. | :21:48. | |
hope, that if she can do it, I can do it, too, so I am really humbled. | :21:49. | :21:54. | |
I am actually turbo-charged. She discovered opera music when she | :21:54. | :22:00. | |
first heard it from a television advert. She studied opera at the | :22:00. | :22:05. | |
university of Cape Town. Her first pianist spoke to me. That is why I | :22:05. | :22:10. | |
heard the quality of her voice, and I said to my husband, you know what? | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
We have got a princess in the making over here, we have got somebody big. | :22:14. | :22:20. | |
He said, what do you mean? I said, listen to her voice, this is | :22:20. | :22:27. | |
something to listen to. Pretty Yende has come back to share her life | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
story with the people of this town, telling them that the road to Milan | :22:31. | :22:38. | |
was through sheer hard work and dreaming big. And dream big she did. | :22:38. | :22:45. | |
The power of her voice brought her first two La Scala in Milan, where | :22:45. | :22:54. | |
she is now based, and then to the world's attention at the debut | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
performance at the Metropolitan world's attention at the debut | :22:56. | :22:57. | |
Opera House in New York. Pretty Yende is now inspiring a new | :22:57. | :23:20. | |
generation back at home. Finally, the great masters of Europe | :23:20. | :23:44. | |
were introduced in 1913 and the New York Historical Society is putting | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
many of those same masterpieces on display again. The curator, Marilyn | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
Kushner, has been explaining the legacy of these paintings. | :23:51. | :24:00. | |
There was a lot of uproar over it. In New York, 87,000 people visited | :24:00. | :24:07. | |
it in a month, that is a lot. People on the street were talking all about | :24:08. | :24:14. | |
it. It was the first time that the American public, in 1913, was able | :24:14. | :24:18. | |
to see the great things that were being produced in Europe, the | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
contemporary art that was being done by artists such as Pablo Picasso and | :24:21. | :24:33. | |
Sean Brack, that was being done by Matisse. It was an amazing time | :24:33. | :24:35. | |
Sean Brack, that was being done by period in New York. It was | :24:35. | :24:42. | |
revolutionary in so many different ways, women were marching in the | :24:42. | :24:48. | |
streets, not only for the vote but for contraception, for the right to | :24:48. | :24:49. | |
have children out of wedlock. Labourers, workers were marching in | :24:49. | :25:00. | |
the streets for better working conditions and for higher wages. | :25:00. | :25:03. | |
Change was in the air, and change was a good thing. That cacophony was | :25:03. | :25:10. | |
echoed inside the show, as well as outside of it. Some critics berated | :25:10. | :25:18. | |
and derided and laughed at them. The ones that critics did not | :25:18. | :25:27. | |
understand, like Nude Descending A Staircase, people have said, what is | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
the big deal about it? Take yourself back 100 years, people are not used | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
to looking at something as abstracted as that, they do not know | :25:34. | :25:39. | |
what to look for, they cannot see what the artist says is there. Mix | :25:39. | :25:45. | |
all legends, we call them. When people think of the Armoury Show, up | :25:45. | :25:52. | |
until this exhibition, they think of European art, but there were as many | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
if not more American artists. There were very few galleries here showing | :25:57. | :26:03. | |
contemporary American work, and the young artists were frustrated | :26:03. | :26:06. | |
because they could not show the public what they were doing. This | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
was an opportunity for American artists to exhibit their work. What | :26:09. | :26:14. | |
the organisers would try to say was, the work that you are seeing | :26:14. | :26:16. | |
now and criticising, years from now was, the work that you are seeing | :26:16. | :26:21. | |
it will be seen as masterpieces, and they had a great high. They are seen | :26:21. | :26:26. | |
as masterpieces now, and they have wonderful things that were new and | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
fresh, where you could almost smell the oil on the canvas. | :26:30. | :26:37. | |
And now that blast in Benghazi which I reported earlier, the explosion | :26:37. | :26:43. | |
was from a car bomb apparently targeting the Swedish consulate in | :26:43. | :26:46. | |
Benghazi. It damaged the building and surrounding homes, but the | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
consulate is not officially closed. But we understand it has been empty | :26:50. | :26:55. | |
for some time. Finally, Italy's former prime is the Silvio | :26:55. | :26:58. | |
Berlusconi wants to serve his 12 month sentence for tax fraud on | :26:58. | :27:00. | |
community service. | :27:00. | :27:00. |
