:00:16. > :01:21.They are taking the law into their own hands here. It is these men
:01:22. > :01:28.deciding who can pass to go on to Afghanistan and who cannot. They
:01:29. > :01:33.have been harassing drivers and checking whether or not they are
:01:34. > :01:37.carrying NATO supplies. This man was transporting milk cartons and after
:01:38. > :01:43.some intimidation he was eventually allowed to pass. But those found to
:01:44. > :01:49.be carrying supplies to coalition forces across the border have been
:01:50. > :01:55.forced back in protest at US drone attacks. It is this relatively small
:01:56. > :01:59.group of people in the centre of this, the main route through which
:02:00. > :02:03.NATO supplies go to troops in Afghanistan that is the reason that
:02:04. > :02:06.not a single truck carrying NATO supplies has been allowed through
:02:07. > :02:10.here today. The Pakistani government says it does not support this
:02:11. > :02:15.protest, but it has not yet tried to break it up. The Pakistani
:02:16. > :02:20.government says it is committed to allowing NATO supplies through. The
:02:21. > :02:25.regional police stand by and watch the vigilantes in action. We want
:02:26. > :02:31.America to come to a contract with us, and we will not do any more
:02:32. > :02:36.drone attacks, and if they come to this point, we will stop this
:02:37. > :02:39.process. America will make deals with the Pakistani government, the
:02:40. > :02:45.Pakistani gunmen says it is not supporting you. If it does not
:02:46. > :02:48.support us, we will not support the Pakistani government. Opposition
:02:49. > :02:53.politician Imran Khan has been the main advocate of this tactic. His
:02:54. > :02:56.supporters are among those blocking the supply route. Politicians from
:02:57. > :03:01.his party were among those who handed in a petition to the American
:03:02. > :03:05.Consulate in Peshawar, demanding an end to drone attacks on the basis
:03:06. > :03:08.that they killed civilians and, they claim, destroyed chances of peace
:03:09. > :03:18.with the Pakistani Taliban. But the timing of this new campaign,
:03:19. > :03:24.which started after the death of the militant leader in a drone strike, a
:03:25. > :03:27.man thought to be responsible for the deaths of thousands of
:03:28. > :03:34.Pakistanis, has led many to accuse Imran Khan of appeasement and worse.
:03:35. > :03:39.For now, his supporters continue to deny NATO troops there supplies, and
:03:40. > :03:46.it is not known how long such disruption is going to be tolerated.
:03:47. > :03:53.Now to the Central African Republic, where the UN Deputy
:03:54. > :03:58.Secretary-General has called for urgent action, warning that the area
:03:59. > :04:03.is descending into complete chaos. The Security Council is expected to
:04:04. > :04:07.agree to sending international troops there. The country has been
:04:08. > :04:12.in turmoil since rebels overthrew the president, Francois Bozize, in
:04:13. > :04:16.March. The Security Council has been urged to strengthen the African
:04:17. > :04:19.Union force in CAR ahead of a vote due next week. It comes as UN
:04:20. > :04:26.officials warn that civilians are placing more sectarian violence,
:04:27. > :04:29.summary executions and torture. In a Security Council meeting yesterday,
:04:30. > :04:34.the UN proposed a 7700 strong intervention force to try to help
:04:35. > :04:38.keep the peace. France has promised to send another 1000 troops to
:04:39. > :04:43.bolster the 400 French soldiers who are already there, and US Secretary
:04:44. > :04:47.of State John Kerry has unveiled some $40 million in funding, most of
:04:48. > :04:53.this money for the African Union peacekeeping mission. UN
:04:54. > :04:57.correspondent Nick Bryant has more. Few countries are of more concern to
:04:58. > :05:00.UN diplomats right now than the Central African Republic, which are
:05:01. > :05:05.sliding into complete chaos and lawlessness. Earlier this month, the
:05:06. > :05:08.UN Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon, said communal violence in the
:05:09. > :05:14.landlocked country risked spiralling out of control. Now his deputy has
:05:15. > :05:20.described the security situation as being in virtual meltdown. The
:05:21. > :05:24.country faces a desperate security situation. There is a breakdown of
:05:25. > :05:27.law and order, the population is enduring suffering beyond
:05:28. > :05:33.imagination, and as we see far too often, children and women are at the
:05:34. > :05:40.greatest risk. The use of child soldiers is rising, sexual violence
:05:41. > :05:44.is growing. Civilians were enduring suffering beyond imagination, he
:05:45. > :05:47.told the UN Security Council, including sexual violence,
:05:48. > :05:52.extortion, torture, summary executions and an president of the
:05:53. > :05:56.sectarian violence between Muslims and Christians. -- unprecedented.
:05:57. > :05:59.The Secretary-General is particularly concerned about the
:06:00. > :06:03.intercommunal violence. Traditional harmony among communities has been
:06:04. > :06:06.replaced by polarisation and widespread horror. With the country
:06:07. > :06:11.becoming a breeding ground for extremists and armed groups, Jan
:06:12. > :06:15.Eliasson warned there was really only one choice, a United Nations
:06:16. > :06:23.peacekeeping operation to try to restore order.
:06:24. > :06:27.With me is a correspondent from BBC Afrique, how much is this a
:06:28. > :06:35.Muslim-Christian battle now, and why are we seeing it now? You know,
:06:36. > :06:41.presenting it as a religious war or a religious conflict is a little bit
:06:42. > :06:44.of a stretch, because the Muslims and Christians in this Central
:06:45. > :06:49.African Republic have lived in these side by side for all this time. What
:06:50. > :06:54.we can only know is that the rebels, that I should the president
:06:55. > :07:01.into power, they are portrayed as being Muslim, the president is a
:07:02. > :07:04.Muslim, and he's the first Muslim to be head of state in the Central
:07:05. > :07:08.African Republic. And the violence that came with them pushed
:07:09. > :07:14.Christians in the country to form themselves into militia, and they
:07:15. > :07:19.are actually fighting back, which brought up this image of religious
:07:20. > :07:26.groups raving into each other. But this is really a stretch element in
:07:27. > :07:30.a much bigger picture, which is the chaotic picture in the area right
:07:31. > :07:37.now. This is a country that is rich in minerals, and yet the country is
:07:38. > :07:42.very poor. Why has it become such a tinderbox? And is it still possible
:07:43. > :07:45.for an international community, and international force to calm things
:07:46. > :07:52.down? It will be H Allen, because, you know, at what happened in Mali
:07:53. > :08:00.peaceably. -- it will be a challenge. They were backing a
:08:01. > :08:09.regime, you know, a power which is was in place in Bamako, a little bit
:08:10. > :08:15.devious, but here we know that those who are calling for the help of
:08:16. > :08:23.those who came and put an end to the democratic rule, they are the
:08:24. > :08:26.rebels, and they are responsible for the violence that is actually being
:08:27. > :08:34.denounced everywhere. So when France moves in, what would they really do?
:08:35. > :08:38.Who would they actually target? That is a question they will sort out,
:08:39. > :08:45.but I guess that, practically, what they would do is to say, between the
:08:46. > :08:48.warring factions, to avoid any worsening of the situation that
:08:49. > :08:54.would lead to these apocalyptic scenes of genocide, a term that some
:08:55. > :08:58.people have already used, so this is problematic now, you know. We have
:08:59. > :09:02.been covering this for a few days, and we will continue to follow what
:09:03. > :09:07.is happening. Lamine Konkobo, thank you.
:09:08. > :09:10.Protesters in Kiev are continuing to demonstrate against the governments
:09:11. > :09:14.decision to postpone a trade agreement with the European Union.
:09:15. > :09:18.They claimed their president, Viktor Yanukovych, has bowed to pressure
:09:19. > :09:22.from Russia, but he argues that he has had to put the deal on hold. He
:09:23. > :09:26.has reportedly said his country does not want to be a battlefield between
:09:27. > :09:32.the EU and Russia. Steve Rosenberg reports.
:09:33. > :09:39.At the Kiev Opera, it is a story of love and bitter rivalry. Two
:09:40. > :09:46.suitors, one fair maiden. It is just like the story of Ukraine. Two world
:09:47. > :09:50.powers, the European Union and Russia, have been competing for
:09:51. > :09:56.closer ties with Kiev, but whom would she embraced? Ukraine has had
:09:57. > :09:59.a big decision to make, on the one hand should it signed an historic
:10:00. > :10:03.trade agreement with the European Union that would turn this country
:10:04. > :10:08.very much towards Europe? Or should it look East and join Russia's
:10:09. > :10:10.economic bloc? The pressure on Ukraine to decide one way or the
:10:11. > :10:19.other has been huge. That includes economic pressure.
:10:20. > :10:23.Earlier this year, Russia banned imports from Ukraine's largest
:10:24. > :10:28.confectioner and imposed trade restrictions on other Ukrainian
:10:29. > :10:35.companies, a strong hint that he should think twice before distancing
:10:36. > :10:39.itself from Moscow. It is clear that the real reason is a political
:10:40. > :10:47.reason, a form of pressure on Ukraine, because of the necessity to
:10:48. > :10:52.make a strategical decision about our future development. But that
:10:53. > :10:57.pressure has had an effect. Last week, Ukraine's government announced
:10:58. > :11:00.it had put on hold the association agreement with the EU. It would
:11:01. > :11:07.concentrate instead on repairing economic ties with Moscow.
:11:08. > :11:12.TRANSLATION: Over the last year, trade between Russia and Ukraine
:11:13. > :11:16.fell by 25%, that is a huge blow to our economy. We spoke to EU
:11:17. > :11:22.officials months ago about how they might compensate us, but all we got
:11:23. > :11:27.word declarations that Ukraine would profit in the medium to long-term.
:11:28. > :11:33.The Government decision has sparked anger on the streets. In Kiev, EU
:11:34. > :11:38.protesters have clashed with riot police. They accused the authorities
:11:39. > :11:44.of dragging Ukraine back to the Soviet Union and demanded the
:11:45. > :11:46.release from jail of opposition leader and former Prime Ministers
:11:47. > :11:51.Yulia Tymoshenko. They are not willing to embrace European
:11:52. > :11:57.standards and values, they are not willing to play according to the
:11:58. > :12:02.rules of the European Union. These protesters say they will stay on the
:12:03. > :12:10.streets and ill Ukraine's government chooses a different path, one that
