Welcome. International inspectors say all of Syria's known equipment | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
needed to produce chemical weapons has been destroyed ahead of an | :01:21. | :01:29. | |
international deadline. The Organisation for the Prohibition of | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
Chemical Weapons has had teams of inspectors in Syria since the | :01:32. | :01:46. | |
beginning of this month. They've been implementing the deal, brokered | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
by Russia and the US after a chemical weapons attack on civilians | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
on the outskirts of Damascus earlier this year. The OPCW says Syria can | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
no longer make chemical weapons. We are there to verify that capability. | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
As that as that capability that has been declared, we are assured that | :02:01. | :02:08. | |
that has been destroyed. Syria's Deputy Foreign Minister has been | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
speaking to our chief international correspondent, Lyse Doucet. We are | :02:13. | :02:19. | |
co-operating with the OPCW. We are co-operating with the international | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
community. We are happy that at least this is our contribution to a | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
free Middle East from all weapons of mass destruction. Some say it has | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
transformed you from a pariah to a partner? I hope those who have | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
always thought of us negatively will change their mind and understand | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
that Syria was, is and will be always a constructive partner in | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
international affairs. The BBC's Jim Muir has been telling me what should | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
happen next. The next stage in the process is getting rid of all the | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
raw materials, the more than 1,000 tonnes of chemical precursors. That | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
is a long and dangerous job that will take months and months, at | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
least until the middle of next year is the target date. I think they are | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
talking about targets, not deadlines for that, especially because if | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
there are delays it may be for technical reasons rather than the | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
Syrian government dragging its feet. All the signs seem to be that the | :03:20. | :03:34. | |
OPCW is satisfied. They have had a lot of co-operation on the ground so | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
far. The diplomatic efforts are continuing to try and bring an end | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
to the whole civil war. Where are we now on that? Well, that is a really | :03:42. | :03:48. | |
messy business. They had been touting the date of 23rd November | :03:49. | :03:57. | |
for a meeting in Geneva, the Geneva II meeting. A lot of pressure has | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
gone into that. It looks like the date will have to slide because, | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
basically, the Syrian opposition is not at all in shape and it is very | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
hard to see how they can produce a credible delegation that could | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
deliver. Apart from anything else, all the bulk of the fighting forces | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
on the ground are against negotiating with the regime unless | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
there is a prior assurance that it will bring the end of Bashar | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
al-Assad's regime which Damascus is not willing to give. There are | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
doubts about whether the Russians would support that. So, a lot of | :04:34. | :04:40. | |
preparation still needed. Meetings next week between the Russians and | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
Americans and between the Syrian opposition within the Syrian | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
opposition. But the outcome is far from clear. Jim Muir. | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
All this month we've been looking at the problem of migration. Many | :04:53. | :04:59. | |
coming from Syria across the Europe. Scenes like this one have become all | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
too frequent in recent weeks. This is just the most recent of an almost | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
daily occurrence - a boat of migrants being rescued by the | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
Italian coastguard as they try to reach the island of Lampedusa. This | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
year, tens of thousands of people have tried to illegally cross the | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
Mediterranean to Europe. But not all of them are heading for Italy. Many | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
of the refugees who are trying to escape the Syrian civil war head | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
north to Turkey. Many stay in camps just across the border, but some | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
move on. Those who have enough money, and are healthy enough, | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
continue their journey through the country to Istanbul. And from there | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
they try to reach Europe, making the often dangerous journey by boat to | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
the Greek island of Lesvos. Mark Lowen is on that island now. It | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
looks stunning where you are. But the people of that island and those | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
coming across have both faced huge difficulties? Massive challenges | :05:54. | :06:02. | |
here for the people in Lesvos, for the Greek coastguard and for the | :06:03. | :06:09. | |
migrants who make that perilous crossing across the Turkish | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
mainland. This is the harbour here. It is a beautiful sight to wake up | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
to. You can see that cargo ferry across the harbour. That is | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
preparing to leave for Athens. It is a nine-hour trip. As we move across, | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
you can see some of the other gorgeous waterfront properties here. | :06:28. | :06:37. | |
It looks like a Greek riviera. There are cafes, hotels, that | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
opulent-looking pleasure boat, a speedboat over there. This is an | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
island which is known for plenty of things. It is known for being the | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
home of that favoured Greek tipple. It is known for its stunning natural | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
beauty. It's also becoming known for another reason, for being one of the | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
key frontiers for the European Union's migration challenge. | :06:59. | :07:08. | |
The vast Agean. We are on patrol with the Greek coastguard off Lesvos | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
island, combing the south-east border for illegal immigrants. It is | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
a key gateway and a perilous journey, but numbers are rising. I | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
hope and I will ask for more support from the EU member states but that | :07:22. | :07:28. | |
doesn't mean that we are going to stop if this assistance doesn't | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
come. We have to protect our country. We have to protect it from | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
the criminal networks. It is a familiar scene - overcrowded boats | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
docking here. They are the lucky ones who made it. Plenty don't. And | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
Greece says Europe must do more. This year alone, almost 4,500 | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
migrants have tried to cross these waters into Lesvos. Since police | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
increased controls on the land border with Turkey, it's now the | :07:55. | :08:04. | |
island bearing the brunt. And Greece is struggling to cope with the | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
influx. We weren't allowed inside the centre where the arrested are | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
taken. Syrians are held briefly and then given six months stay in | :08:15. | :08:16. | |
Greece. Others are detained for longer and must leave the country | :08:17. | :08:23. | |
within a month. I feel desperate. I feel the same when they talk to us | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
about the problems they have and they face in my country. I feel very | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
angry because I believe we can change something and we don't. Most | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
of them are like us. They are going away from a difficult situation and | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
they just need to be supported. At an NGO camp, we met this Afghan | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
mother and her children in their cramped room. She talks of hopes | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
dashed, her husband arrested, a treacherous crossing as her youngest | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
fell overboard. It wasn't worth it, she says. Europe wasn't worth it. | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
Many drown on the way ending up here, only a few are identified. | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
Before leaving for Europe, they had names and lives. Now, they are | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
reduced to this. At the ferry to Athens, we met some young Syrians. | :09:12. | :09:18. | |
They paid 1,300 euros each to get to Europe. My family doesn't want his | :09:19. | :09:25. | |
son to die. So my family say go out, go out, go out from Syria. All they | :09:26. | :09:37. | |
have is one bag and their dreams. How many more will follow in their | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
wake before the tide of immigration is stemmed? | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
Mark, very harrowing there to see that one woman who has lost her | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
youngest child saying, of course, this journey wasn't worth it. What | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
did she say about what she would have done differently and whether | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
that message is ever going to get back to those who try to make the | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
crossing? It is not in the interests of European governments to make this | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
more humane, this process, is it? It is very interesting. I asked her | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
that specific question. I said if you could go back to Afghanistan now | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
and say to your friends and family who want to make the crossing over | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
to the European Union, if you had a message, what would it be? She said | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
it is not worth it. It is not worth the risk. There is a perception | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
among people in these troubled hotspots of the world, in | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
Afghanistan, in Syria, in other parts of the Middle East, that the | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
European Union is a place of safety, it is a place where they will find | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
opportunity and jobs. So often it is not. Of course, so often on the | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
journey here that ends in tragedy. The Greek government is asking for | :10:42. | :10:47. | |
more help for the national patrols, the national patrols here around the | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
coast, but also for the EU's Border Agency which plays such a vital role | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
in controlling and patrolling the European Union's external borders. | :10:58. | :11:00. | |
As one official put it to me, when you are in a rich Northern European | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
country like Germany, Finland or Austria, it is difficult to know | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
what it is like when bodies are washing up on the shores of the | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
European south. Thank you. Within the last few | :11:14. | :11:20. | |
moments, the Governor of Niger has confirmed the bodies of 92 people | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
have been recovered from the desert. Most of the victims were women and | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
children. They are thought to have died from thirst after the trucks | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
they were travelling in broke down. It is believed they were on their | :11:32. | :11:41. | |
way to an Islamic school. With me is Elhadji Coulibaly from | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
BBC Afrique. What's happened? These people were part of a group of 113 | :11:46. | :11:54. | |
people who set off from the northern town on 26th September and they were | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
heading towards Algeria. One of the vehicles broke down, you know, about | :12:00. | :12:13. | |
160 kilometres from the town they left. The migrants got off the | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
vehicle and tried to go back for spares. On the way, the second | :12:20. | :12:25. | |
vehicle as well broke down. So these people - basically, they were | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
trapped in the desert. In the heat of the desert? Yes. They started | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
looking - they ran out of water and they started looking for a well, you | :12:34. | :12:44. | |
know. They split into groups and tried to go different directions to | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
get a well. But, unfortunately, they couldn't manage to get a well and | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
they died of thirst. It's been very difficult because people have found | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
the decomposed bodies of children, many, many children. It is thought | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
now that they were on their way to a school up to Algeria to join their | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
families, possibly? I have spoken to one of the local Cowen counsellors | :13:08. | :13:17. | |
who was part of the rescue -- local counsellors who was part of the | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
rescue team. On the bodies they found copies of the Koran and some | :13:23. | :13:29. | |
tablets where the children write on... Writing? Yes, so it looks like | :13:30. | :13:37. | |
they are not economic migrants. They were heading towards Algeria to | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
learn the Koran. Very, very sad. We will have to leave it there. Thank | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
you very much for joining us. Stay with us. | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
Much more to come. The US National Security Agency denies hacking | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
internet giants Google and Yahoo. Plus after the monsoon, it is the | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
wedding season in India as couples want that special day to also be | :13:59. | :14:08. | |
auspicious. Wine lovers are facing the threat of | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
global shortages. New research suggests that production last year | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
dropped to its lowest level since the 1970s with demand outstripping | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
supply by about three billion bottles. | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
Could it be time for wine lovers to rethink their drink of choice? The | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
US financial services firm Morgan Stanley has warned of a global wine | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
shortage. They say it's the greatest shortfall since records began 40 | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
years ago. The problem is that production is falling and demand is | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
rising. Global production reached its peak in 2004, supply outweighed | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
demand by 600 million cases. Production has been steadily | :14:52. | :14:54. | |
declining since then and last year, it dropped to its lowest levels in | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
four decades. Demand exceeded supply by 300 million cases. That is | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
roughly the same amount of wine as the whole of the UK drinks in two | :15:04. | :15:05. | |
years. The fall can be loaned on poor | :15:06. | :15:15. | |
weather in Europe, which produces 60% of the world's one. -- be | :15:16. | :15:27. | |
blamed. Output from Newark producers had already peaked. But global | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
demand is rising. The US and drive -- China are the large drivers of | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
growth. Consumption in China has doubled in the past five years, | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
twice. It is likely to become the world's biggest consumer by 2016. | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
For now, France and the West consume the most. Italy and China followed. | :15:48. | :15:55. | |
Then Germany, Russia and the UK. More people are drinking wine and | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
asking the question, will prices rise? My guess is they will only go | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
up marginally. The industry will respond. The weather is a factor. In | :16:05. | :16:11. | |
the succeeding season, it is possible to prune, to irrigate, to | :16:12. | :16:19. | |
fertilise and boost production. The report's authors predict that in the | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
short term, consumption will be mostly supplied by previous | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
vintages. But as consumption turns to the 2012 vintage, the shortfall | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
could lead to higher prices. Reassurance of a sword for wine | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
lovers, then. Prices will go up. But the industry is likely to do all it | :16:38. | :16:40. | |
can to revenge shelves from going there. -- prevent shelves. | :16:41. | :16:53. | |
This is BBC World News. The latest headlines: International inspectors | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
say all of Syria's declared equipment to make chemical weapons | :16:58. | :16:59. | |
has been destroyed. Another African migrant tragedy, | :17:00. | :17:02. | |
this time in the Sahara Desert where 87 people died after their vehicles | :17:03. | :17:11. | |
broke down. The US' National Security Agency has | :17:12. | :17:14. | |
denied claims that it secretly broke into the links which connect Google | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
and Yahoo data centres around the world. The claims, based on data | :17:19. | :17:20. | |
from the fugitive intelligence contractor Edward Snowden, come in a | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
report in the Washington Post. The agency says it is not authorised to | :17:25. | :17:27. | |
go into a US company's servers and take data. It also told the United | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
Nations that it doesn't spy on its communications and won't do so in | :17:32. | :17:38. | |
the future. Tim Allman has more. Who America spies on and how | :17:39. | :17:41. | |
continues to be a source of controversy. The latest accusations, | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
published in the Washington Post, come from documents released by the | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
NSA whistle-blower Edward Snowden. This time, the alleged targets were | :17:51. | :17:57. | |
internet giants Google and Yahoo. It is claimed the NSA secretly hacked | :17:58. | :18:03. | |
into communication links, the fibre-optic cables connecting data | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
centres, picking up millions of records, including text, audio and | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
video. This information was then sifted in a programme called | :18:11. | :18:19. | |
Muscular, run in conjunction with GCHQ. Crucially, the paper claims, | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
the data was picked up outside the US, when restrictions on oversight | :18:25. | :18:31. | |
are weaker. I can tell you factually we don't have access to Google | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
servers, Yahoo servers we go to a court order. We issue the court | :18:37. | :18:43. | |
order through the FBI. It is not millions, it is thousands of those | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
that are done. It is almost all against terrorism and things like | :18:48. | :18:50. | |
that. It has nothing to do with US persons. This follows claims the NSA | :18:51. | :18:57. | |
intercepted phone calls by Angela Merkel and at least 35 otherworldly | :18:58. | :19:03. | |
does. But at least one international body seems happy to accept that it | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
is not being spied on. I can tell you that we were in touch with the | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
US authorities. I understand that the US authorities had given | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
assurances that the Ewing medications are not and will not be | :19:19. | :19:27. | |
monitored. -- the UN communications. But the US insists it has to protect | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
itself, striking the balance between privacy and liberty. | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
Google has now released a statement. It said: | :19:36. | :19:53. | |
Pakistan says far fewer civilians have been killed in US drone strikes | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
than previously thought. Its Ministry of Defence has told an | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
inquiry that civilians account for just 3% of those killed over the | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
past five years. It said that since 2008, 67 civilians had died in US | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
drone strikes. That's far less than other estimates suggest. And in the | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
same period 2,160 militants were killed. They also said no civilian | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
had died in a drone strike since the beginning of last year. | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
With me in the studio is Shafi Naqi Jamie, who is from the BBC Urdu | :20:23. | :20:31. | |
Service. This comes after the Washington Post revealed documents | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
showing Pakistani government complicit in US drone strikes. Even | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
Nawaz Sharif has gone to the US to say, please, stop. The secrecy | :20:42. | :20:50. | |
behind it is creating more questions than satisfying people giving the | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
answer. It does not make sense that those drone attacks can take place | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
without some kind of tacit agreement some of understanding from the | :21:01. | :21:07. | |
hierarchy of officials. Could be an intelligence agency, could be | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
somewhere. The clarity is not there. Hence it is creating more confusion. | :21:12. | :21:17. | |
What has been the reaction to these numbers coming out? The government | :21:18. | :21:22. | |
is saying, look, the nub of civilians killed is less than | :21:23. | :21:28. | |
previously said. -- the number. There are two numbers being crushed. | :21:29. | :21:34. | |
There are deaths from drone attacks and the bomb blasts, suicide | :21:35. | :21:39. | |
attacks. One must not confuse those numbers, actually. People are asking | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
more and more questions. The figures you are telling now, are these ones | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
correct or the ones you told us before? Things are getting heated in | :21:48. | :21:55. | |
Parliament. And the opposition is not satisfied. The party in power is | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
asking questions. Nobody seems to be getting a clear answer. Clearly, | :22:01. | :22:09. | |
Pakistan is trying to, some people say, justify that involvement. That | :22:10. | :22:19. | |
is one way to look at it. Again, it acts the question, why not... The | :22:20. | :22:26. | |
generals are not telling the truth, they say. There is something which | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
is not coming out. Unless they sit down and talk, the matter will still | :22:33. | :22:38. | |
be there. The Foreign Office is making a statement protesting. | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
Government is making a statement protesting. Apart from the protests, | :22:43. | :22:49. | |
is there anyone who can suggest a suggestion -- solution? | :22:50. | :23:00. | |
As the conduct of some of his leading newspaper executives comes | :23:01. | :23:03. | |
under the spotlight here in the UK, the media tycoon Rupert Murdoch has | :23:04. | :23:06. | |
been giving a speech in Australia. He studiously avoided any mention of | :23:07. | :23:09. | |
the criminal trial which has just begun here in London, which has seen | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
two of his most senior editors accused of phone hacking. Instead, | :23:14. | :23:16. | |
he used the annual Lowy Lecture in Sydney to sound a warning about a | :23:17. | :23:19. | |
new, globally competitive middle class. | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
The world around Australian business today is completely changed. Today | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
it is the non-democracies who are the outliers. Australians no longer | :23:28. | :23:36. | |
have to worry about people producing cheaper moccasins because of cheaper | :23:37. | :23:42. | |
wages. They have to worry about people in Beijing and Bangalore | :23:43. | :23:53. | |
beating us with breakthrough drugs. The end of the monsoon season has | :23:54. | :23:56. | |
marked the beginning of the most anticipated part of the year in | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
India - the great wedding season. On some days, which are considered | :24:01. | :24:02. | |
particularly auspicious in the Hindu calendar, there could be more than | :24:03. | :24:05. | |
20,000 wedding ceremonies taking place in one day in Delhi alone. So | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
couples need all the help that they can get, and many of them are | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
turning to the internet. From Delhi, Shilpa Kannan reports. | :24:14. | :24:15. | |
No one does weddings like Indians. Rich or poor, families usually save | :24:16. | :24:17. | |
all their lives for their children's wedding day. If there's | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
one industry that is recession proof, it is this, the Indian | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
wedding industry. It is estimated to be worth nearly and is growing at | :24:28. | :24:33. | |
25% annually. With over 10 million weddings or more happening in India, | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
it is a sector that has not really seen a slowdown. Getting ready for | :24:39. | :24:42. | |
her big day, this lady has travelled all the way from Florida to Delhi to | :24:43. | :24:49. | |
get married. Without access to the vast array of aunts and other | :24:50. | :24:52. | |
relatives who helped with shopping and planning an event of this Dell, | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
more and more young Indians are having to rely on the internet, she | :24:58. | :25:04. | |
says. The key part of my wedding, might -- like my make up and | :25:05. | :25:10. | |
photographer, I got it online. I spend a lot of time looking up the | :25:11. | :25:20. | |
latest trends. Getting bridal-wear online takes -- this man is marrying | :25:21. | :25:28. | |
the old and the new. His company is an online wedding planner. They can | :25:29. | :25:36. | |
suggest where to shop and what to buy for the big day. Indians have | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
always had big fat weddings. What has changed now? These days, a lot | :25:41. | :25:50. | |
of couples are getting involved in wedding planning. I need to make the | :25:51. | :25:58. | |
right decisions. -- they need. They look for the information online. We | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
talk to them about the trends that are in season, helped them to assess | :26:04. | :26:17. | |
their planning. So, while the celebrations had not change, | :26:18. | :26:19. | |
technology and weddings seem to breed ringing -- to be training some | :26:20. | :26:33. | |
sophistication to the industry. Hollywood stars may vow never to | :26:34. | :26:36. | |
work with children or animals. But it seems the same misgivings do not | :26:37. | :26:40. | |
trouble the Pope. A small boy made an unexpected appearance on stage | :26:41. | :26:43. | |
with Pope Francis over the weekend, during a celebration of family day | :26:44. | :26:47. | |
at the Vatican in St Peter's Square. He even tried out the papal chair. | :26:48. | :26:50. | |
But Pope Francis didn't seem remotely ruffled by the small boy | :26:51. | :26:53. | |
who threatened to steal the show. He carried on delivering his homily | :26:54. | :26:56. | |
about the importance of grandparents. Thanks for being with | :26:57. | :26:57. | |
us. | :26:58. | :26:58. |
