Hello, I am will reach the South on Thursday. | :00:11. | :00:15. | |
They are taking the law into their own hands here. It is these men | :00:16. | :01:21. | |
deciding who can pass to go on to Afghanistan and who cannot. They | :01:22. | :01:28. | |
have been harassing drivers and checking whether or not they are | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
carrying NATO supplies. This man was transporting milk cartons and after | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
some intimidation he was eventually allowed to pass. But those found to | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
be carrying supplies to coalition forces across the border have been | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
forced back in protest at US drone attacks. It is this relatively small | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
group of people in the centre of this, the main route through which | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
NATO supplies go to troops in Afghanistan that is the reason that | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
not a single truck carrying NATO supplies has been allowed through | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
here today. The Pakistani government says it does not support this | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
protest, but it has not yet tried to break it up. The Pakistani | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
government says it is committed to allowing NATO supplies through. The | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
regional police stand by and watch the vigilantes in action. We want | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
America to come to a contract with us, and we will not do any more | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
drone attacks, and if they come to this point, we will stop this | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
process. America will make deals with the Pakistani government, the | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
Pakistani gunmen says it is not supporting you. If it does not | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
support us, we will not support the Pakistani government. Opposition | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
politician Imran Khan has been the main advocate of this tactic. His | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
supporters are among those blocking the supply route. Politicians from | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
his party were among those who handed in a petition to the American | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
Consulate in Peshawar, demanding an end to drone attacks on the basis | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
that they killed civilians and, they claim, destroyed chances of peace | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
with the Pakistani Taliban. But the timing of this new campaign, | :03:09. | :03:18. | |
which started after the death of the militant leader in a drone strike, a | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
man thought to be responsible for the deaths of thousands of | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
Pakistanis, has led many to accuse Imran Khan of appeasement and worse. | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
For now, his supporters continue to deny NATO troops there supplies, and | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
it is not known how long such disruption is going to be tolerated. | :03:40. | :03:46. | |
Now to the Central African Republic, where the UN Deputy | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
Secretary-General has called for urgent action, warning that the area | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
is descending into complete chaos. The Security Council is expected to | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
agree to sending international troops there. The country has been | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
in turmoil since rebels overthrew the president, Francois Bozize, in | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
March. The Security Council has been urged to strengthen the African | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
Union force in CAR ahead of a vote due next week. It comes as UN | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
officials warn that civilians are placing more sectarian violence, | :04:20. | :04:26. | |
summary executions and torture. In a Security Council meeting yesterday, | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
the UN proposed a 7700 strong intervention force to try to help | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
keep the peace. France has promised to send another 1000 troops to | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
bolster the 400 French soldiers who are already there, and US Secretary | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
of State John Kerry has unveiled some $40 million in funding, most of | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
this money for the African Union peacekeeping mission. UN | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
correspondent Nick Bryant has more. Few countries are of more concern to | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
UN diplomats right now than the Central African Republic, which are | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
sliding into complete chaos and lawlessness. Earlier this month, the | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
UN Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon, said communal violence in the | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
landlocked country risked spiralling out of control. Now his deputy has | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
described the security situation as being in virtual meltdown. The | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
country faces a desperate security situation. There is a breakdown of | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
law and order, the population is enduring suffering beyond | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
imagination, and as we see far too often, children and women are at the | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
greatest risk. The use of child soldiers is rising, sexual violence | :05:34. | :05:40. | |
is growing. Civilians were enduring suffering beyond imagination, he | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
told the UN Security Council, including sexual violence, | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
extortion, torture, summary executions and an president of the | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
sectarian violence between Muslims and Christians. -- unprecedented. | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
The Secretary-General is particularly concerned about the | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
intercommunal violence. Traditional harmony among communities has been | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
replaced by polarisation and widespread horror. With the country | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
becoming a breeding ground for extremists and armed groups, Jan | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
Eliasson warned there was really only one choice, a United Nations | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
peacekeeping operation to try to restore order. | :06:16. | :06:23. | |
With me is a correspondent from BBC Afrique, how much is this a | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
Muslim-Christian battle now, and why are we seeing it now? You know, | :06:28. | :06:35. | |
presenting it as a religious war or a religious conflict is a little bit | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
of a stretch, because the Muslims and Christians in this Central | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
African Republic have lived in these side by side for all this time. What | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
we can only know is that the rebels, that I should the president | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
into power, they are portrayed as being Muslim, the president is a | :06:55. | :07:01. | |
Muslim, and he's the first Muslim to be head of state in the Central | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
African Republic. And the violence that came with them pushed | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
Christians in the country to form themselves into militia, and they | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
are actually fighting back, which brought up this image of religious | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
groups raving into each other. But this is really a stretch element in | :07:20. | :07:26. | |
a much bigger picture, which is the chaotic picture in the area right | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
now. This is a country that is rich in minerals, and yet the country is | :07:31. | :07:37. | |
very poor. Why has it become such a tinderbox? And is it still possible | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
for an international community, and international force to calm things | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
down? It will be H Allen, because, you know, at what happened in Mali | :07:46. | :07:52. | |
peaceably. -- it will be a challenge. They were backing a | :07:53. | :08:00. | |
regime, you know, a power which is was in place in Bamako, a little bit | :08:01. | :08:09. | |
devious, but here we know that those who are calling for the help of | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
those who came and put an end to the democratic rule, they are the | :08:16. | :08:23. | |
rebels, and they are responsible for the violence that is actually being | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
denounced everywhere. So when France moves in, what would they really do? | :08:27. | :08:34. | |
Who would they actually target? That is a question they will sort out, | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
but I guess that, practically, what they would do is to say, between the | :08:39. | :08:45. | |
warring factions, to avoid any worsening of the situation that | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
would lead to these apocalyptic scenes of genocide, a term that some | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
people have already used, so this is problematic now, you know. We have | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
been covering this for a few days, and we will continue to follow what | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
is happening. Lamine Konkobo, thank you. | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
Protesters in Kiev are continuing to demonstrate against the governments | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
decision to postpone a trade agreement with the European Union. | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
They claimed their president, Viktor Yanukovych, has bowed to pressure | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
from Russia, but he argues that he has had to put the deal on hold. He | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
has reportedly said his country does not want to be a battlefield between | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
the EU and Russia. Steve Rosenberg reports. | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
At the Kiev Opera, it is a story of love and bitter rivalry. Two | :09:33. | :09:39. | |
suitors, one fair maiden. It is just like the story of Ukraine. Two world | :09:40. | :09:46. | |
powers, the European Union and Russia, have been competing for | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
closer ties with Kiev, but whom would she embraced? Ukraine has had | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
a big decision to make, on the one hand should it signed an historic | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
trade agreement with the European Union that would turn this country | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
very much towards Europe? Or should it look East and join Russia's | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
economic bloc? The pressure on Ukraine to decide one way or the | :10:09. | :10:10. | |
other has been huge. That includes economic pressure. | :10:11. | :10:19. | |
Earlier this year, Russia banned imports from Ukraine's largest | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
confectioner and imposed trade restrictions on other Ukrainian | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
companies, a strong hint that he should think twice before distancing | :10:29. | :10:35. | |
itself from Moscow. It is clear that the real reason is a political | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
reason, a form of pressure on Ukraine, because of the necessity to | :10:40. | :10:47. | |
make a strategical decision about our future development. But that | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
pressure has had an effect. Last week, Ukraine's government announced | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
it had put on hold the association agreement with the EU. It would | :10:58. | :11:00. | |
concentrate instead on repairing economic ties with Moscow. | :11:01. | :11:07. | |
TRANSLATION: Over the last year, trade between Russia and Ukraine | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
fell by 25%, that is a huge blow to our economy. We spoke to EU | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
officials months ago about how they might compensate us, but all we got | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
word declarations that Ukraine would profit in the medium to long-term. | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
The Government decision has sparked anger on the streets. In Kiev, EU | :11:28. | :11:33. | |
protesters have clashed with riot police. They accused the authorities | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
of dragging Ukraine back to the Soviet Union and demanded the | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
release from jail of opposition leader and former Prime Ministers | :11:45. | :11:46. | |
Yulia Tymoshenko. They are not willing to embrace European | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
standards and values, they are not willing to play according to the | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
rules of the European Union. These protesters say they will stay on the | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
streets and ill Ukraine's government chooses a different path, one that | :12:03. | :12:10. | |
leads to Europe. -- until. The British navy has begun | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
delivering aid in the western Philippines, 500 tonnes of food and | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
non-food items are on board the helicopter carrier HMS Illustrious. | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
The crew are also carrying short term reconstruction projects, and | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
Jonah Fisher was there as they began the work to prepare a school. | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
This is the primary school on this island which was directly in the | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
path of the typhoon, and if you look at the roof, blown clear away when | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
the wind came through. Now, two and a half weeks on, not much has been | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
done to repair it, but the British navy arrived today, bringing with | :12:45. | :12:56. | |
them tools, saws, plastic sheeting that will go on top of the roof, and | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
that will mean the kids can have a full day at school. At the moment | :13:00. | :13:02. | |
they only come in the very early hours of the morning. This was just | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
dropped in by helicopter, pieces of wood to help with the rebuilding | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
effort. A focus of the British effort in this part of the | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
Philippines is to look for motor communities that may have received | :13:14. | :13:19. | |
very little so far. -- remote communities. This island has only | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
had a couple of parcels of food delivered. With the capability of | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
HMS Illustrious, a helicopter carrier, it can deploy that a | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
divided as part of the ship into these communities relatively | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
quickly. It is expected that it will be here for another two and a half | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
weeks, ferrying the load on board the ship onto these islands, and | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
also, where possible, doing projects like this, rebuilding things as part | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
of a short-term recovery effort. Jonah Fisher there in the | :13:49. | :13:51. | |
Philippines. Stay with us, much more to come, from Brazil, why the | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
Amazonian rains are blighting the finish of this World Cup football | :13:57. | :13:57. | |
stadium. Now, the Thailand Parliament is | :13:58. | :14:07. | |
debating a motion of no-confidence in the as protests continue in | :14:08. | :14:13. | |
Bangkok. Activists have been surrounding several government | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
ministries and occupying others. A court has issued an arrest warrant | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
for one of the protest leaders. South-east Asia correspondent | :14:22. | :14:23. | |
Jonathan Head sent this report from outside the Interior Ministry. | :14:24. | :14:31. | |
Try to think how extraordinary this scene would be in any other country. | :14:32. | :14:37. | |
This is the Interior Ministry, the heart of security for any | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
government, yet here it is completely surrounded by | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
protesters. Staff have been forced to leave. One of a number of | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
ministries around the city which had been paralysed by a protest movement | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
which has had a sudden surge of momentum. These protesters are | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
driven by a problem which has halted talent for eight years, driven by a | :15:00. | :15:07. | |
hatred of Yingluck Shinawatra and a determination his influence must be | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
purged from government. And the fact that the police were not able to | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
stop this, and this has happened so many times, shows how weak the | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
government authority is and how fragile the institutions are in this | :15:20. | :15:20. | |
country. Everybody here is clear about what | :15:21. | :15:32. | |
they don't want. They want Yingluck Shinawatra's family and influence | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
completely out of politics. But his party keeps winning. So people speak | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
about the different political system, a different kind of | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
democracy. We saw protests exactly like this five years ago. You have | :15:48. | :15:55. | |
the sense that Thailand is stuck in a merry-go-round of conflict nobody | :15:56. | :15:56. | |
can resolve. World champion water skier Sarah | :15:57. | :16:18. | |
Teelow has died, following a fall during a high-speed race on | :16:19. | :16:21. | |
Australia's Hawkesbury River, near Sydney. The 20-year-old came off her | :16:22. | :16:24. | |
skis shortly after the start of the race. Miss Teelow suffered serious | :16:25. | :16:27. | |
spinal and head injuries as a result, and later died in hospital. | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
Local police are now investigating how the incident happened. Racers on | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
the water can often reach speeds of up to 130 kilometres an hour on this | :16:35. | :16:42. | |
part of the river. This is BBC World News. The | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
headlines. In opposition to American drone | :16:49. | :16:51. | |
strikes, demonstrators cut off the crucial NATO supply route through | :16:52. | :16:58. | |
Pakistan. France has sent -- Descending into | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
chaos, says the UN. Now France sends an extra 1,000 troops to the Central | :17:04. | :17:09. | |
African Republic. It's a system that's allowed Chinese police to | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
send people to prison for up to four years, without a trial, and with | :17:14. | :17:15. | |
little chance of appeal. Petty criminals and dissidents | :17:16. | :17:18. | |
across China have been locked up in this way since the 1950s. But now, | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
Beijing says it's going to abolish the much-hated re-education through | :17:23. | :17:24. | |
labour camps. Our Beijing correspondent Martin Patience has | :17:25. | :17:34. | |
been speaking to one former inmate. This is a secret diary, smuggled out | :17:35. | :17:42. | |
of a labour camp. It documents the horror of detention. Snatched from | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
the streets by police following a land dispute, this woman was locked | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
up to two years. She stored pieces of cloth to write her diary. A roll | :17:53. | :18:01. | |
call of abuse. TRANSLATION: The guard started to | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
beat me after I refused to do more work. They covered by mouth and | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
pulled my hair, and punched me, telling me what would happen if I | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
did not follow orders. Established over half a century | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
ago, the network of re-education camps was initially used to silence | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
political opponents. More recently, petty criminals and dissidents were | :18:25. | :18:27. | |
detained for up to four years without a trial. On the face of it, | :18:28. | :18:33. | |
human -- this human rights lawyer said the closure of camps is a good | :18:34. | :18:40. | |
news -- is good news. But the reality, he says, is dissidents will | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
still be dealt with harshly, but by different means. | :18:45. | :18:52. | |
For those who have been detained, it is impossible to forget what they | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
lived through. TRANSLATION: They treated us like | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
animals, but we are human beings. We just want to be citizens and have | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
our rights like everyone else. By abolishing the camps, the Communist | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
Party says it is promoting the rule of law. | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
At the same time, Chinese leaders are tracking down dissent and many | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
believe that the party will still find a way of locking them up. | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
A winter storm sweeping across the US has killed at least 13 people. | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
The storm is predicted to continue east over the next several days, | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
just as tens of millions of travellers are expected to hit the | :19:31. | :19:33. | |
road or take to the skies, before Thanksgiving on Thursday. ABC's | :19:34. | :19:43. | |
Tahman Bradley reports. Severe weather is wreaking havoc | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
across the country. How many hours have you been waiting? | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
Two hours. To Dallas, Fort Worth, to Milwaukee, it is a mess. | :19:54. | :20:00. | |
I wish I could kick my heels and be home. 25 million Americans will get | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
on a plane this week and many will deal with major delays. One website | :20:05. | :20:10. | |
shows cancellation and delays on Monday at Houston. Today, it is | :20:11. | :20:16. | |
Atlanta and New York. The roads will not be better. My son said, don't | :20:17. | :20:20. | |
think about driving. I hit a bridge coming over in the car and it went | :20:21. | :20:29. | |
airborne, sideways. I was doing 20, white knuckle. Then, there is the | :20:30. | :20:38. | |
cold. In Philadelphia, 20 degrees. Rain is forecast to clear the east | :20:39. | :20:41. | |
coast, then it will be a fate to stay warm. | :20:42. | :20:50. | |
Singapore and South Korea envoys are to be summoned over reports they | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
assisted Australia in spying. There has been outrage in Jakarta over the | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
allegations but the president says his relations with Australia are | :20:59. | :21:04. | |
good and they will work on a new code of ethics for intelligence | :21:05. | :21:14. | |
sharing. After a spate of building problems, | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
the governing body of fever repeatedly warned there would be no | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
compromise over the delivery of World Cup stadiums. There are big | :21:24. | :21:32. | |
questions over the necessity of such big complexes. This is the brand-new | :21:33. | :21:40. | |
stadium built from scratch write-up in the heart of northern Brazil. | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
One of 12 stadiums being used for the World Cup, and one of the most | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
controversial. This has cost $300 million. Like all stadiums, it has | :21:50. | :21:56. | |
to be ready by the fever deadline at the end of the year. As you can see, | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
there is an awful lot of work to be done on the stadium. It resembles | :22:01. | :22:07. | |
the famous stadium in Beijing, the white steel structure was imported | :22:08. | :22:15. | |
from Portugal. 20 supports will have to be removed before the stadium is | :22:16. | :22:18. | |
ready. One reason for the controversy with the stadium is | :22:19. | :22:25. | |
because the local football team only attracts 4000 spectators per game. | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
After the World Cup, they are expected to play here. Questions | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
have been raised in the North about the wisdom of spending so much on a | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
stadium that will hardly ever be full. Nonetheless, the local | :22:39. | :22:43. | |
organisers is it not only will the stadium be ready by the end of the | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
air, but it will be a properly functioning multi use stadium, not | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
just having football matches but other events. All this cost will be | :22:53. | :23:02. | |
justified. At the International Emmys in New | :23:03. | :23:05. | |
York, an annual event honouring excellence in television made | :23:06. | :23:07. | |
outside the United States, European TV productions have triumphed, with | :23:08. | :23:10. | |
Britain taking home three top trophies. | :23:11. | :23:12. | |
But Australian, South Korean and Brazilian programmes also won | :23:13. | :23:15. | |
awards. From New York, Tom Brook reports. | :23:16. | :23:22. | |
It is an annual ritual at this New York hotel every November, the | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
International Emmys. Are you ready to start this magical evening of | :23:27. | :23:30. | |
television? It was a good night for the British. UK productions picked | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
up three awards, Sean Bean won best performance for an actor in Accused. | :23:36. | :23:44. | |
For an actor well known for his tough guy roles, dressing up as a | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
woman was new terrain. It kind of work and I was very relieved. It was | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
a particularly challenging role for me. It gave me the opportunity to | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
explore something I have never really thought about before. To | :23:59. | :24:06. | |
think, can I actually do this? Other British victories included the best | :24:07. | :24:12. | |
arts programming award which went to Freddie Mercury: Rhys Thomas was the | :24:13. | :24:22. | |
programme producer. It was a love letter to him from me. | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
I have been obsessed with him since the age of 12. I love him so much. I | :24:27. | :24:34. | |
hope he will be pleased. Another UK productions, Moone Boy, | :24:35. | :24:39. | |
won best comedy. A triumph for Chris O'Dowd. A German production one | :24:40. | :24:55. | |
eight miniseries prize. And five Broken Cameras is -- from | :24:56. | :25:07. | |
France won the Best documentary. The International Emmy Awards for best | :25:08. | :25:15. | |
actress, Fernanda Montenegro. This Brazilian actress was in a very | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
good mood. I am so happy, so happy, so proud. Thank you very much. The | :25:21. | :25:27. | |
International Emmys has long been criticised as being too Eurocentric | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
in selection but the organisation did cast a wider net with | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
productions from Angola and Uruguay being nominated for the first time. | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
The International Emmy doesn't have the currency of an Oscar but it does | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
have power. Recipients find it helps secure distribution deals and can | :25:45. | :25:50. | |
raise their profile in the industry. And it does bring prestige. It can | :25:51. | :25:58. | |
help a career. Archaeologists in southern Nepal say | :25:59. | :26:07. | |
they've discovered what they believe to be the oldest Buddhist shrine, | :26:08. | :26:10. | |
suggesting the religious leader may have lived as early as the sixth | :26:11. | :26:13. | |
century BC. They say they've found traces of an ancient timber shrine | :26:14. | :26:16. | |
under a brick temple at the birthplace of Buddha in Lumbini. The | :26:17. | :26:20. | |
shrine appears to contain an open area which housed a tree, coinciding | :26:21. | :26:22. | |
with traditional stories about Buddha's birth. China is planning to | :26:23. | :26:32. | |
land a space probe on the moon next month, to test rock samples and send | :26:33. | :26:38. | |
pictures back to Earth. The radio controlled lunar vehicle can be seen | :26:39. | :26:52. | |
on the lunar surface. We are back throughout the day with | :26:53. | :26:58. | |
BBC news programmes. Thanks for watching. | :26:59. | :27:00. |
