Hello, this is BBC World News. Our top stories: Tensions outside

:00:09.:00:28.

against the proceedings. Four suspects are charged in a court

:00:29.:00:32.

in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, over the terror attack at the Westgate

:00:33.:00:37.

shopping mall last month in which 60 people were killed.

:00:38.:00:40.

And in Germany, more than a thousand paintings looted by the Nazis during

:00:41.:00:43.

World War II have been found hidden in a flat in the city of Munich.

:00:44.:01:04.

Welcome. Egypt's ousted former President Mohammed Morsi has gone on

:01:05.:01:10.

trial under tight security. The former leader is charged with

:01:11.:01:13.

inciting the killing of protesters, but he is reported to be defiant,

:01:14.:01:19.

telling the court he is still the country's legitimate leader. In the

:01:20.:01:21.

last few minutes, state media country's legitimate leader. In the

:01:22.:01:40.

outside where the trial was to take place. It has been reported that

:01:41.:01:46.

Morsi has now been taken to a prison to be kept in custody until the next

:01:47.:01:50.

hearing. Our correspondent was inside the court room in Cairo. What

:01:51.:01:57.

happened today? I have just come out of the courtroom after a noisy,

:01:58.:02:03.

chaotic and at times almost a circus-like hearing. There was so

:02:04.:02:07.

much disruption during the proceedings that the judge had to

:02:08.:02:11.

adjourned them twice at the first session lasting only nine minutes

:02:12.:02:15.

before he had to adjourned, leave and come back. At the court, we saw

:02:16.:02:20.

a deposed leader determined to have his say. Mohammed Morsi arrived

:02:21.:02:24.

looking relaxed. He was wearing a dark jacket and shirt. He waved at

:02:25.:02:29.

supporters when he came in and smiled. He gave the four fingered

:02:30.:02:31.

salute that is a show of smiled. He gave the four fingered

:02:32.:02:49.

trial. This trial is part of the crew, and the coup is a crime. He

:02:50.:02:53.

interrupted in the session at least three times before the judge

:02:54.:02:57.

adjourned. He interrupted again in the second session which has just

:02:58.:03:03.

concluded. He said twice, I am the president. You have no right to

:03:04.:03:06.

conduct a trial into presidential matters. His coup is a crime and a

:03:07.:03:13.

betrayal. He sat quietly at moments during the first break of the trial.

:03:14.:03:17.

He was surrounded by some of his fellow defendants, members of the

:03:18.:03:20.

Muslim Brotherhood he has not seen since he was removed by the military

:03:21.:03:26.

in early July. He was smiling and gesticulating, having a warm

:03:27.:03:29.

conversation with them. He gave one of them made their hope. We spoke to

:03:30.:03:33.

some of those other defendants, senior members of the Muslim

:03:34.:03:38.

Brotherhood, before the trial began on the judge or Mohammed Morsi came

:03:39.:03:40.

to court. One of them claimed that on the judge or Mohammed Morsi came

:03:41.:03:59.

but he said this person had also been beaten by about eight others

:04:00.:04:04.

until he was on the point of collapse. All of the defendants

:04:05.:04:08.

repeatedly said, it was a kind of frame, the trial is void. At times,

:04:09.:04:15.

there was loud heckling from people inside the court, opponents of the

:04:16.:04:20.

brotherhood, including some Egyptian journalist 's, women journalists who

:04:21.:04:25.

were shouting, I hope you get the death penalty, execution. There was

:04:26.:04:29.

a very heated scene at one stage between lawyers for the brotherhood

:04:30.:04:33.

and some of these Egyptian journalists. It's disrupted the

:04:34.:04:37.

proceedings to such an extent that people were standing on the chairs,

:04:38.:04:41.

shouting at one another, waving shoes at one another. The police had

:04:42.:04:45.

to step in to try and calm things down. As you say, proceedings have

:04:46.:04:50.

now been adjourned until January the 8th. All of the accused have now

:04:51.:04:51.

been sent 8th. All of the accused have now

:04:52.:05:09.

Looking at him, this is the first appearance we have seen of the

:05:10.:05:12.

former president since he was arrested. What sort of state did he

:05:13.:05:19.

look in? He seemed well. He seemed relaxed before the proceedings

:05:20.:05:23.

began. As soon as they got going, as I say, he was interrupting

:05:24.:05:28.

repeatedly and shouting loudly with a voice that almost filled the court

:05:29.:05:32.

room. And he carried on shouting, even when his voice was hoarse. He

:05:33.:05:36.

and the other defendants were determined to make the point that as

:05:37.:05:40.

they see it, this trial has no legitimacy. The judge was taking a

:05:41.:05:46.

very calm tone. At times, he was trying to placate them. He said at

:05:47.:05:50.

the beginning, let me say what I have to say. You want to have your

:05:51.:05:55.

rights. Let me proceed, and we will do that. At no stage did he lose his

:05:56.:05:59.

temper or give in to frustration. He supporters is that he has been held

:06:00.:06:20.

until now incommunicado in a secret military location that has not been

:06:21.:06:26.

disclosed. Human rights activists here tell us that is a breach of

:06:27.:06:31.

Egyptian law. Today the judge has corrected that. The deposed

:06:32.:06:34.

president is being sent with the other accused to a well-known and

:06:35.:06:39.

some would say notorious prison complex in the south of Cairo. We

:06:40.:06:45.

are hearing choppers overhead now, which may be Mohammed Morsi being

:06:46.:06:53.

removed from the venue. Quite a show of support for him. We will be back

:06:54.:07:00.

with you throughout the day for more from Cairo.

:07:01.:07:05.

Kenyan officials have charged four people of the Westgate mall attack

:07:06.:07:08.

in which over 60 people were killed. The four,

:07:09.:07:29.

in which over 60 people were Nairobi. This attack made headlines

:07:30.:07:31.

around the world. What can you tell us about these arrests? The director

:07:32.:07:37.

of criminal investigations have said they have five suspects they are

:07:38.:07:41.

ready to bring before the court. They were analysing some SMS

:07:42.:07:45.

messages that one of the suspects who were arrested sent. We

:07:46.:07:52.

understand that the suspects have been charged among other things with

:07:53.:07:56.

being in Kenya is legally, so we suspect they must be of Somali

:07:57.:08:00.

origin. They pleaded not guilty to these charges, and they are being

:08:01.:08:06.

held in remand. Obviously, the security operation goes on. Remind

:08:07.:08:12.

us of exactly what happened at the time of this siege? In an

:08:13.:08:19.

unprecedented attack in Kenya on the 21st of September, when at around

:08:20.:08:21.

midday on a Saturday, 21st of September, when at around

:08:22.:08:42.

the gate. At least 60 people were killed in that incident. This siege

:08:43.:08:50.

went on for four days. No one knows whether these gunmen were eventually

:08:51.:08:52.

killed or whether they escaped from the building. There are still many

:08:53.:08:59.

unanswered questions. This is something that has terrified the

:09:00.:09:03.

country. In other news, Pakistan's form of a

:09:04.:09:08.

military ruler, Pervez Musharraf, has been granted bail in the last

:09:13.:09:16.

from house arrest. The former general was detained last month for

:10:02.:10:04.

between rebels and government troops in the east of the Democratic

:10:05.:10:08.

Republic of Congo. It follows attempts by the military to clear

:10:09.:10:12.

the last areas held by militants from the M23 group. The fighting has

:10:13.:10:16.

sent thousands of refugees flooding towards the border with Uganda, and

:10:17.:10:20.

it comes just a day after the leader of the rebels declared a cease-fire.

:10:21.:10:26.

It has been described as one of the largest recoveries of looted art. A

:10:27.:10:30.

collection of more than a thousand paintings which includes the work is

:10:31.:10:34.

of Picasso and Matisse has been found in the German city of Munich.

:10:42.:11:04.

London has 2300 pictures. So it is two thirds the size of a big public

:11:05.:11:12.

gallery. What happened was, there was a guy who was, if you like,

:11:13.:11:15.

Hitler's favourite art dealer before and during the war. He dealt in two

:11:16.:11:22.

categories of pictures, so called the General Art, often by Jewish

:11:23.:11:27.

painters, taken off the walls of galleries in Germany in 1938 and

:11:28.:11:32.

1939 -- regenerate art, unacceptable to the Nazis. He had charge of some

:11:33.:11:37.

of that. On top of that, when the Nazis occupied France, he had some

:11:38.:11:43.

of the confiscated art there. He told the Allies after the war that

:11:44.:11:49.

that stuff had been burnt. The taxes pictures, intriguingly, in Germany,

the German press. Here is a big tabloid here, with the headline,

:12:28.:12:35.

Nazi horde in a rubbish apartment. It is playing begin the popular

:12:36.:12:45.

press. The local paper in Munich displays one of the pictures in the

:12:46.:12:49.

horde. Obviously, the lawyers will have a field day. The people who own

:12:50.:12:57.

these pictures will be saying, where is my picture? Why have the

:12:58.:13:01.

authorities sat on my pictures secretly for the

come on BBC World News. Gongs for Eminem as YouTube post their first

ever award show. Now, like many Western companies,

:13:31.:13:34.

the Swedish flatpack company IKEA is hoping to make profits by expanding

:13:35.:13:39.

into China . At first, it was a slow process, but now the chain is

:13:40.:13:43.

adjusting the way it sells its products to the way Chinese

:13:44.:13:48.

consumers want to buy them. The result -45 million customers a year,

:13:49.:14:00.

and steadily increasing takings. The doors have just opened in this

:14:01.:14:03.

IKEA in Beijing, and even on a weekday morning, this place is

:14:04.:14:09.

packed. Many in China treat IKEA like a furniture filled theme park,

:14:10.:14:11.

a place to spend hours like a furniture filled theme park,

:14:12.:14:29.

they have learned to say yes. They have relaxed their policies on

:14:30.:14:33.

almost everything, and that is what is keeping their stores busy from

:14:34.:14:37.

morning till night. Thousands come to IKEA to browse in the morning,

:14:38.:14:43.

eat in the cafeteria at lunch and then put their feet up for a while.

:14:44.:14:57.

IKEA's first stores in China could not accommodate all day shoppers,

:14:58.:15:01.

but their new outlets have wider aisles and extra room. If they build

:15:02.:15:08.

it, IKEA has realised, the crowds will come. This store has 15,000

:15:09.:15:20.

visitors. Products have will come. This store has 15,000

:15:21.:15:42.

lacklustre results, IKEA's adaptations for China rob boosting

:15:43.:15:46.

its bottom line. Sales are up 70% this year, making China one of the

:15:47.:15:50.

retailer's fastest-growing markets. Yes, Chinese people like to hang out

:15:51.:15:57.

at IKEA. Now they like to spend money there too.

This is BBC World News. The headlines: Tensions outside court in

:16:12.:16:15.

Cairo, where the trial of the deposed former President Mohammed

:16:16.:16:17.

Morsi has been adjourned until January.

:16:18.:16:23.

And the American Secretary of State John Kerry is meeting Saudi leaders

:16:24.:16:27.

in the capital, Riyadh, for talks aimed at easing tensions with the

:16:28.:16:31.

United States' long-standing ally. South

:16:32.:16:58.

wrongdoings. The word trust is heard time and

:16:59.:17:03.

again from the mouth of South Korea's resident. She uses it to

:17:04.:17:07.

describe the domestic goals, her foreign relationships and her policy

:17:08.:17:11.

towards Pyongyang. On the eve of her departure for Europe, Park Geun-hye

:17:12.:17:16.

told the BBC it was hard to trust the North Korean leader, because he

:17:17.:17:20.

did not honour his promises, but that any provocation by Pyongyang

:17:21.:17:26.

would carry a huge price tag, and that her country would never accept

:17:27.:17:35.

a nuclear armed North Korea. TRANSLATION: We cannot repeat the

:17:36.:17:38.

vicious cycle of the past, where North Korea's nuclear threats and

:17:39.:17:40.

provocations were met North Korea's nuclear threats and

:17:41.:17:59.

not be talking about whether North Korea should or should not possess

:18:00.:18:06.

nuclear weapons, but where their demands will creep to set an extent

:18:07.:18:09.

that they will be calling for arms reductions or arms talks, and it

:18:10.:18:14.

will be more difficult to deal with this issue. After decades of failed

:18:15.:18:19.

negotiations and three nuclear tests, Pyongyang is getting closer

:18:20.:18:28.

to a deliverable nuclear weapons. Its long-range rocket launch last

:18:29.:18:32.

year and its most recent nuclear test have helped bring North

:18:33.:18:36.

Korea's friends and enemies little closer together. The president has

:18:37.:18:41.

described Pyongyang's ally China as a close neighbour which makes the

:18:42.:18:46.

growing rift between South Korea and Japan, America is two biggest allies

:18:47.:18:51.

in the region, all the more surprising.

:18:52.:19:09.

in the region, all the more complicate that from happening. One

:19:10.:19:14.

example is the issue of the comfort women, these are women who have

:19:15.:19:18.

spent their blossoming years in hardship and suffering and spent the

:19:19.:19:22.

rest of their life in ruins and none of these cases have been resolved or

:19:23.:19:27.

addressed. The Japanese have not changed any of their positions with

:19:28.:19:31.

regard to this though let's assume our leaders were to meet at the

:19:32.:19:36.

table. If Japan continues to stick to the same historical perceptions

:19:37.:19:41.

and repeat their past comments, then what purpose would summits serve?

:19:42.:19:45.

Perhaps it would be better not to have one. It will just create more

:19:46.:19:52.

anger amongst the Korean people. Such directness from the South

:19:53.:19:56.

Korean president is rare, but the rift between these allies is not

:19:57.:20:00.

just a local issue. With new construction scene

:20:01.:20:19.

just a local issue. With new is in Saudi Arabia on a trip which

:20:20.:20:23.

appears to be designed to rebuild relations with one of America's key

:20:24.:20:27.

allies in the Gulf. The Saudis have long backed American policies in the

:20:28.:20:32.

region, even allowing the US military to use its territory joined

:20:33.:20:36.

the build-up to the Kuwait war and Operation Desert Storm. More

:20:37.:20:43.

recently tensions have grown over Syria, Saudi Arabia is concerned

:20:44.:20:48.

over the possibility of an Iranian backed government in Damascus. Saudi

:20:49.:20:57.

Arabia supports the military backed government in Egypt, while the US

:20:58.:21:02.

government wants to restore democracy in Egypt. Earlier this

:21:03.:21:07.

year the Saudi intelligence chief reportedly said his country would be

:21:08.:21:11.

making a major shift in its relations with the US. John

:21:12.:21:30.

making a major shift in its process of strengthening Egypt's

:21:31.:21:33.

links to the rest of the world will be measured in the way in which the

:21:34.:21:40.

people of Egypt are sustained in their ability to have the right to

:21:41.:21:45.

assemble, the right to express themselves, but even as they do that

:21:46.:21:54.

we also agree no one should be allowed to practice violence with

:21:55.:22:08.

impunity. Our correspondent from the BBC Arabic network is with me. Do we

:22:09.:22:14.

know what John Kerry can do to persuade the Saudis? That is why we

:22:15.:22:19.

have the unscheduled visit by John Kerry. The main issues

:22:20.:22:40.

War and resident Assad's regime and Iran, Saudi Arabia's main rival in

:22:41.:22:44.

the region. The US cannot do much about Syria, it is too complicated,

:22:45.:22:50.

and with the regime's concessions regarding chemical weapons, they can

:22:51.:22:58.

push for military intervention. The US needs to talk to Iran at the

:22:59.:23:03.

moment and that is happening. Egypt, that is where the United States

:23:04.:23:07.

might do something to ease tensions with Saudi Arabia and that was

:23:08.:23:14.

stated by Mr Kerry when he said he is willing to work with Egypt's

:23:15.:23:20.

government now. The perception is that Iran is the key worry from the

:23:21.:23:25.

Saudi point of view and it affects the shape of the region in a much

:23:26.:23:31.

more wider sense, and yet from the outside some diplomatic

:23:32.:23:52.

more wider sense, and yet from the very deep and for the Saudis'

:23:53.:23:56.

strategic point of view, they lost Iraq to Iran's benefit. They look at

:23:57.:24:01.

the government as being under the Iranian influence and they hoped

:24:02.:24:16.

that after the uprising broke out in Syria two years ago, more than two

:24:17.:24:19.

years ago, to get Syria back from a regime that is friendly to Iran,

:24:20.:24:21.

this is not happening. For the Saudis, Iran is the main regional

:24:22.:24:23.

rival. They look at the situation even apart from the nuclear

:24:24.:24:30.

programme in Iran and everything. Thank you. The video sharing website
