It is worth making that comparison last year. It dropped very quickly.

It was like a stone. The company started making money from

advertising and they are doing well. They had to do well on mobile

advertising. They use the site on the go. They had to be aggressive

in mobile advertising and revenues increase. They are making money. To

be clear, what a Twitter saying about where they will manner tyres

and make a profit? That is the big about where they will manner tyres

what they lost at the same time last year. The losses are deepening.

People believe the potential is here and Twitter will become very

aggressive in the advertising and the whole business model of making

a buck. Potentially they think it could become an internet utility

just like Google, Facebook and Amazon. You have to make an

impartial reminder now. You can follow me on Twitter. Tweet me and

I will treat you back. Nick has a Twitter as well.

Riot police in Greece have stormed the headquarters of the former

state broadcaster, ERT, to evict the headquarters of the former

eviction. It all began at 4:30am when riot police and the public

prosecutor turned up at the headquarters in northern Athens.

They used tear gas in order to clear the entrance to the enclosure

into the building. Once inside it was relatively peaceful. They led

occupying staff out. Three refuse to go and they were arrested the

gathered. There were calls for a wider protest. I spoke to an

employee inside the building. He said he was still there because he

was showing police around. He expects to be arrested in the next

few hours. Her wind expects to be arrested in the next

closure of the broadcast it in June. It has been around for is 75 years.

Even though it was not loved by Greeks, it only had the 10%

audience share, it was seen as a Greek institution. Imagine how you

would feel if the BBC were suddenly closed down within a day. 200 staff

remain inside the headquarters broadcasting online. The Government

has set up an interim broadcaster and there will be in the one next

getting into the details of the Iranian nuclear programme. The

Foreign Minister said his ideas have not been made public. The

-- two days to reach an agreement. A short while ago I spoke with

Professor Anoush Ehteshami from the University of Durham. He is

Professor of International Relations and Director of the Al-

Sabah Programme there. I started by asking him if anything had changed

in the Iranian position in the last six weeks since the extraordinary

serious of developments and moves by the new president while in New

York. That in itself is a big change. All of the body language of

the grant is different. Also what it says is very different. They are

talking about dialogue. Three developments going on.

Announcements are important for us but it is trying to underpin

negotiations with a broader easier access for inspectors to

have technical meetings with Iranian officials. The third

dimension is Geneva. Only a few weeks later we are sitting around

the same table. They speak the language of the five plus one.

They're going in for a deal rather than procrastinating and wanting to

delay a deal. The atmospherics are different. As to whether we can do

this in a week, I'm sceptical about that. There are so many unknown but

also known difficult elements which have to be cleared up. Setting the

Hindu guru led the royals through the sacred ceremonies. He is also

the founder of an organisation involving scientists and

Scientists in Utah have discovered an ancient relative of

Tyrannosaurus Rex. Palaeontologists from the state's university say the

creature is in evolutionary terms, the great uncle of T Rex. It lived

about ten million years before its famous descendant. It stood on two

legs, had huge knife-like teeth, a thick skull and forward-facing eyes

for hunting its prey. It measured 7.5 metres long. The research team

believe it would have been the top predator in its environment.

its way to the International Space Station with the Olympic torch on

board. It is so loud and you can feel it in your stomach. It is a

dramatic reminder of Russia's leading role in manned space flight.

Everything went well at the launch and soon the torch was on its way

into orbit. The journey to the International Space Station takes

around six hours. What we're doing, the cosmonauts will go to outer

space with the torch. This particular torch will be the exact

device which will lead the Olympic flame and light the cauldron in the

opening ceremony in 2014. As well as going into space, the torch

opening ceremony in 2014. As well as in Moscow, it was President Putin

who took centre stage, rather than the athletes. He is also using the

games to reassert himself as the leader of the country.

But a flame that we will not see in space. The world is tackling climate

change, and the UK's official body, the committee on climate change,

which looks at climate change, says that the world is working together

at last to tackle climate change. But it admits that the cuts are well

short of what scientists say is needed to stabilise the climate.

Some countries are taking greater steps. Norway is an example.

Beneath this unremarkable hill in Norway's capital, lies a most

remarkable project. Norway's capital, lies a most

heat from people's showers, washing machines and dishwashers. This plant

uses a fluid to capture the warmth and amplify it for home heating. It

is very cultural and interesting. It is a useful way to use energy.

Norway is a global leader in climate policies, with ambitious plans to

end of the use of fossil fuels in home heating within the next few

years. In the USA, shale gas has forced

down emissions because gas pollutes less than coal. America is on target

to meet its climate change commitments according to a report

from the British government. China's big dams are driving down

emissions, too. The report says that emissions could peak in the 20 20s.

is a challenge. We need to put in place commitments for the 20 20s and

policies to dry significant investment in emissions cuts through

the 20 20s, but we are on the path to reducing emissions. Figures show

that the amount of CO2 produced for every dollar earned is following for

all the major countries including China, Germany and the USA.

Governments are at last starting to wake up to the threat of flood and

drought and food shortages. They are beginning to reduce the growth in

emissions, but scientists say that more needs to be done if we are to

get a stable climate. To Canada, and Toronto's may has

continues to be, the Toronto May. Canadian politics rarely registers

internationally but Rob Ford's admission that he smokes crack

cocaine has changed all that. Adrian used to work for the mayor as he

said of press. She helped run his election campaign but now she's one

of the many calling on him to quit. Why has he not? Part of it is

because he has heard from thousands of Torontonians Mahut support for

On Wednesday, the mere blew a kiss to the media, trailing his every

think he has made a mistake and we think he has realised that. I think

you should see his time out because he wants to go on. The mayor says he

is not going anywhere. He made that clear, admitting his drug use in a

press conference on Tuesday. I sincerely, sincerely, sincerely

Finally John Fitzgerald Kennedy. The month marks the 50th anniversary of

one of the defining moments of contemporary US history, the

assassination of JFK. The Hollywood film, JFK, is being rereleased.

Books, magazines, documentaries and ex-exhibitions -- exhibitions are

also being assembled. Tom Brook reports on the Tory Thracian of

Kennedy reflections. 20 special television programmes on

President JFK will air in the US this month. All branches of the

media have been energised with anniversary exhibitions in several

cities. I never met anybody cold Oswald. The release of JFK, the

film. The director is using the anniversary to reassert his view

that Kennedy was not killed by a lone assassin as the initial

investigation found, but by a scene investigation technique...

Many Americans share his views. A recent poll found that 69% believe

there was a conspiracy. The lack of certainty is driving the huge

interest in JFK assassination related media. 50 years on, people

are still the baiting it. People are coming out and new information is

there about ballistics and the autopsy, new recreations. Younger

Americans are drawn to the assassination drama, not just

because of the tragedy but because of the glamour of the President and

first Lady. He was a very attractive man and so was his wife will stop

that is marketable. If you had a different president, who was known

for his politics but did not have the same look, I do not think this

frenzy would have happened. The prevalence of this media, weather it

be photographs or television programmes, is bringing to the

of people who might be involved in a conspiracy to kill JFK. I will not

name names. I have suspicions and they were raised in the film. But I

will not go there. It is headline grabbing. Do not believe for one

second it was Lee Oswald.
