Welcome to BBC world News. Raising the stakes in the East China | :00:07. | :00:12. | |
Sea, Japan and South Korea fly military aircraft through a new | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
Chinese air defence some of the disputed islands. | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
An Egyptian court sentences these female supporters of President Morsi | :00:20. | :00:25. | |
to 11 years in prison. Human rights campaigners described the sentence | :00:26. | :00:26. | |
as madness. European Union leaders prepare for a | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
summit in Lithuania but will Russia overshadow attempts to improve ties | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
with former Soviet states like Ukraine? | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
Why is it case the size of an apartment block causes confrontation | :00:40. | :00:41. | |
with the Kremlin. -- why a suitcase. Japan and South Korea have both | :00:42. | :01:04. | |
flown military aircraft through a new air defence some on Saturday. It | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
covers a chain of islands in the East China Sea which China and Japan | :01:11. | :01:11. | |
both say belong to them. 24 hours earlier the US flew to B-52 | :01:12. | :01:23. | |
bombers through the same as base. -- two. What kind of pressure is there | :01:24. | :01:36. | |
now on the Chinese leadership? Immense pressure because on Saturday | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
they declared the zone themselves, it came as a surprise to other | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
countries. What the Americans and the Japanese and South Korean have | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
done, by flying military aircraft through this area without notifying | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
China, as it demands, they have thrown down the gauntlet and said we | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
are going to carry on as usual regardless of what you say. The ball | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
is in Beijing's court to react to that. Perhaps they will not but they | :02:03. | :02:09. | |
may respond. Do you think the Chinese leadership will have worked | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
through all possible options including the worst-case scenario? | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
It is difficult to believe they wouldn't have worked through all the | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
possible scenarios and difficult to understand how they didn't see this | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
response from the rest of East Asia and America. They have managed to | :02:27. | :02:33. | |
unite and annoy many of their neighbours against them. There is a | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
sneaking suspicion amongst many people in East Asia that China | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
although it says it wants to be peaceful, although it says it wants | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
to negotiate, it will change the status quo regardless of what | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
anybody else says, unilaterally, this seems to feed into this idea, | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
this is exactly what they are going to do. How much should everybody | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
fear some terrible misunderstanding? Military and civilian aircraft | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
flying, unarmed, flying passengers like you and me, at the same time | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
there is no hotline between Tokyo and Beijing because that was | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
abandoned a few months ago. Of course there is always a danger | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
accident might occur, the tequila leak when you push China into a | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
corner saying we are going to ignore this -- particularly. They may try | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
to assert their rights. I don't think anybody wants that to happen. | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
Is there a possibility of misunderstanding, the fact they are | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
not even talking to each other as rock there is is a possibility. | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
Joe Biden is going to the region next week. I cannot imagine China | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
wants to up the ante in this situation at the moment, but there | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
is also a possibility that might happen. | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
Thank you. Now to Egypt where human rights | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
groups have condemned the heavy prison sentences handed down to a | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
group of women. They took part in a demonstration in support of the | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
ousted president Mohammed Morsi. The group say it is most this -- it is | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
madness to women will serve 11 years in jail. Their families say they | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
were taking part in a peaceful protest. | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
Awaiting their fate, the smiles soon disappear. 21 women and girls found | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
guilty on -- of charges including sabotage, inciting violence, and | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
holding a demonstration. Amongst them 15 and 16-year-olds who will | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
stay in Britain until they are 18. The rest face 11 years behind bars. | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
They support Mohammed Morsi and had been taking part in an early-morning | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
demonstration in it Alexandria last month. One family said their | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
15-year-old was only passing by on her way to school. Outside the court | :04:49. | :04:57. | |
and amongst supporters chanting the police thugs. Heavy sentences have | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
been criticised by human rights campaigners. It comes just days | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
after a new law was passed by the interim government last looked in | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
demonstrations. His supporters immediately divide this in Cairo and | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
cities across age of. They must give authorities three days in advance | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
warning of any protest involving more than ten people. Some describe | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
this as a tactic to deter them. This woman says she was dragged, beaten | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
up and detained overnight by police. With the women who were arrested, it | :05:32. | :05:39. | |
is a repetition of the use of sexual assault to discourage women and | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
scare them away from protest. They have been criticised not only | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
in Egypt's but by the United Nations human rights commission. On | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
Wednesday night the mood was one of defiance on the streets of Cairo. | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
The government says it is not opposed to peaceful protest and this | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
time the Interior Ministry gave them permission, even though it fell out | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
of the three-day warning wall. Demonstrators they permission or not | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
much they will continue to exercise their right to protest. | :06:09. | :06:20. | |
The BBC's Orla Guerin is in Cairo. It is a set of sentences regarded as | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
particularly Draconian. There has been a lot of criticism on social | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
media and on the evening talk shows. People are pointing out these | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
sentences of 11 years for these young women contrast starkly with | :06:33. | :06:40. | |
the sentences given to police officers who have killed protesters | :06:41. | :06:42. | |
or seriously injured them. The group of women and girls took part in an | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
early-morning demonstration, run by a movement called the 7am Movement, | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
this was their first protest. They stood on a bridge in Alexandria and | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
they say they are guilty of nothing other than taking part in a peaceful | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
demonstration. The authorities accused them of a variety of charges | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
including inciting violence and using force. We have spoken to | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
relatives are some of those convicted, some of them are as young | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
as 16, and one father told us his daughter was making his way -- her | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
school -- making her way to school trying to cross the road when she | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
was swept up by police as they arrested a group of people on that | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
bridge. What do you think the legal | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
implications are, particularly in this heated political climate? | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
It will be seen very much as part of a very heavy-handed and obvious and | :07:39. | :07:45. | |
growing crackdown, an attempt by the military installed government to | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
silence dissent. We have seen in the last few days the introduction of a | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
new law on protest which campaigners say amounted to the anti-protest | :07:52. | :07:58. | |
law, it effectively all but banned public demonstrations, it requires | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
you to give three days notice in advance and the authorities can | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
decline to give permission. We have seen a wave of protest against the | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
law which has taken place in the last few days, we have seen dozens | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
of secular activist including prominent campaigners being | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
arrested, among those were another group of women who say they were | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
beaten and harassed and stranded in the desert after their arrest. It | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
looks very much too many people as if it was an attempt to return Cairo | :08:30. | :08:37. | |
to the repression of the past. Now to a political trial of strength | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
between Europe and the shape of the European Union, and the Kremlin in | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
Russia, between West and East. It has come to a head in the days | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
before today's summit in Lithuania. Thus it was due to bring Ukraine and | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
five other former Soviet bloc countries closer to the European | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
Union but there are continuous protests in Kiev after the president | :08:58. | :09:04. | |
said given pressure from Russia, and new cooperation agreements with | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
Russia he will not sign the agreement on offer today. There are | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
at least three elements of association, firstly free-trade. | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
Secondly economic map with stronger ties to all countries and thirdly | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
political with a convergence of political activity between Ukraine | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
and the European Union. Their biggest trading partner is still | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
Russia stop the deal would put at risk the newly strengthened ties. | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
Trade restriction from Moscow have already reinforced Russian influence | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
and as the largest supplier of gas to Ukraine, Russia is making new | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
guarantees, after disputes and pensions during recent winters. What | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
are the prospects at the summit in Vilnius last remark -- in Vilnius? | :09:51. | :09:59. | |
Just as those demonstrations continue in Kiev, the glaciations | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
continue here. The Lithuanian government running the presidency | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
believes there is a chance something can be signed. That may be a long | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
shot but they haven't given up. The European Union position is the deal | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
is on the table still. In the sense the ball is now in the court of the | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
Ukrainian government, what we have seen from the president in | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
particular over the last few months is he will wheel and deal and see | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
what the best deal he can get either from the European Union or Russia. | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
It will be a big surprise if he suddenly changed course again at the | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
last minute and signed this association agreement. If that | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
doesn't happen we have do say the glass is half full at the summit. | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
There will be lots of talk about continuing to move forward, progress | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
with other countries like Moldova and Georgia, but Ukraine is the | :10:51. | :10:56. | |
jewel in the Crown. The biggest and most influential country in this | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
eastern partnership group. Without its signing a lot of the momentum | :11:01. | :11:02. | |
behind this partnership process will be lost. | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
What is the assessment about the new relationship between Russia and | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
Kiev? Is it that Russia and President Putin has got more of an | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
iron grip over it Ukraine, making sure there is a price if they want | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
to keep moving towards the European Union? | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
I think there is an acknowledgement in the short-term threats from | :11:25. | :11:30. | |
Moscow can be pretty effective. That is white European Union leaders talk | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
about strategic patience, they genuinely believe it may be | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
misguided, they believe a majority of people in these countries want to | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
look towards a European style institutional democracy, more open | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
markets, opportunities for trade and investment. The association | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
agreements which are on offer for these countries are the most | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
comprehensive ever offered by the European Union to any countries. It | :11:56. | :12:05. | |
would mean them taking on two thirds of all the rules and regulations, | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
becoming in effect part of many bits of the European Union single market, | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
there are big deals on offer and big decisions to be made. The European | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
Union feels that long-term strategic Paul Cole -- Paul could well win in | :12:18. | :12:27. | |
the end. We will reporting on it when it starts in a few hours. | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
Still to come, driving aid into Syria, we join British Midlands | :12:34. | :12:39. | |
acrobat Muslims hand delivering help to the conflict zone. -- British | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
Muslims. Is it really the end of an era in | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
Italian politics? Silvio Berlusconi is to date no longer a member of | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
Parliament, with privileges and legal protection removed. He was | :12:53. | :12:59. | |
expelled echoes of his conviction for tax for. It is illegal for him | :13:00. | :13:05. | |
to hold public office. He loses immunity to prosecution. He told | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
supporters it was a day in morning -- day of mourning for democracy. | :13:09. | :13:16. | |
What is being reported in the newspapers? | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
Here is his own newspaper, Il Giornale a, it has got a huge | :13:21. | :13:27. | |
picture of him with his hand raised in defiance. He held a meeting | :13:28. | :13:34. | |
outside his house in Rome yesterday claiming there had been a coup | :13:35. | :13:43. | |
d'etat. There is an extremely -- there is extremely strong language, | :13:44. | :13:50. | |
criticising President Napolitano saying Italy is being run by | :13:51. | :13:58. | |
Smallman, and the language is extraordinary -- run by a small man. | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
He talks about his sacking from Parliament as being on a level with | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
Benito Mussolini being murdered at the end of World War II. Obviously | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
Mr Berlusconi is extremely angry. If you look at the other papers, there | :14:14. | :14:22. | |
is a cartoon on the front page showing Mr Berlusconi with the dog | :14:23. | :14:30. | |
of his fiancee, barking at him and saying hello expat minister. The | :14:31. | :14:37. | |
view of this paper is it is quite right justice has taken its course, | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
and it is four months since he was found guilty of tax fraud, and it is | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
about time Parliament acted. There is a feeling this is certainly the | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
end of an era, the general mood of the press is this is not a very nice | :14:54. | :15:02. | |
time for Italy and I see the leading financial paper saying a better | :15:03. | :15:09. | |
epilogue to his years in office. A very bitter moment for Italy. | :15:10. | :15:22. | |
You are with BBC World News. The latest headlines. Japan and South | :15:23. | :15:31. | |
Korea have thrown planes through the air defence zone. It covers a chain | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
of disputed islands. Human rights groups criticise an Egyptian | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
court's decision to jail female supporters of ousted President | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
Morsi. 21 women received 11 years in prison for Six people have been | :15:45. | :15:56. | |
arrested here in the UK, over allegations of match-fixing in | :15:57. | :16:02. | |
English football. At least three current footballers are among the | :16:03. | :16:05. | |
men detained by the National Crime Agency - that is the British version | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
of the FBI. The arrests came after a newspaper investigation into an | :16:10. | :16:11. | |
international betting operation with its roots in Singapore. It's the | :16:12. | :16:14. | |
first time for decades that anyone has been arrested for match fixing | :16:15. | :16:17. | |
here in the UK. I spoke to Soren Pedersen from | :16:18. | :16:20. | |
Europe's police intelligence agency, Europol. I asked him whether it is | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
making progress in breaking up the match fixing rings. | :16:24. | :16:31. | |
We cannot go into details about the ongoing case in the UK. But it is | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
very much in line with the news we roped in the Hague in February | :16:37. | :16:43. | |
talking about worldwide match fixing gangs. Working out of Singapore, it | :16:44. | :16:51. | |
is not a surprise, there are big gangs working out of Singapore with | :16:52. | :16:53. | |
links to China and other parts of the world. This is very much in line | :16:54. | :17:00. | |
with what we have seen. What is your view how active and determined | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
governments are to support you? Especially in Singapore where there | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
was that big case in February? They're in creased awareness has | :17:09. | :17:14. | |
made governments more interested in dealing with this. We are supporting | :17:15. | :17:23. | |
several ongoing investigations, offering a platform of exchange of | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
information. We have some very clever analysts who can help by | :17:27. | :17:29. | |
adding value to that information we receive from partners and then they | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
can go out and make the arrest. Fortunately, there is still a lot to | :17:35. | :17:40. | |
look after and as I said, ongoing investigations this moment. You are | :17:41. | :17:46. | |
now more determined, along with many national sovereign governments, but | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
how clever or the match fixers at evading what you are trying to do? | :17:53. | :18:00. | |
So far they have been working very much under the radar. It is an area | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
with a lot of money so it has a track did serious organised of other | :18:05. | :18:10. | |
areas, sometimes drug dealing. What I am trying... It is extremely | :18:11. | :18:16. | |
complicated when you have to investigate this kind of crime. In | :18:17. | :18:23. | |
one day, you have more than 50 people involved from more than ten | :18:24. | :18:26. | |
countries. It is extremely complicated and there is a need of | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
international coordination when you are dealing with these types of | :18:32. | :18:38. | |
crime. The Prime Minister of Thailand has | :18:39. | :18:41. | |
called on anti-government protestors to end their demonstrations and | :18:42. | :18:43. | |
enter a dialogue. Yingluck Shinawatra made the plea after | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
comfortably winning a vote of no confidence in the Thai parliament. | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
Tens of thousands of protestors have again taken to the streets of | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
Bangkok. In the latest of a series of protests around government | :18:54. | :18:55. | |
buildings, they've cut the electricity supply to the police | :18:56. | :19:02. | |
national headquarters. Jonathan head has the latest in Bangkok. | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
They are not disheartened. This crowd have been down here for | :19:08. | :19:13. | |
several hours. They started protesting and singing a national | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
song. It has become an expression of national pride. Once again, they | :19:19. | :19:24. | |
have come down to an important departments, and surrounded it. This | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
is the national police headquarters. They will not be able to break in, | :19:30. | :19:35. | |
there is razor wire on the police -- on the top. So they are singing, | :19:36. | :19:41. | |
protesting. They are not really threatening the government. The | :19:42. | :19:46. | |
government has just won a vote of confidence in the parliament and it | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
is leaving these people to sing and nothing else. There is no kind of | :19:51. | :20:01. | |
revolution. Syria has been in a state of civil | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
war for two and a half years. The UN estimates that more than 100,000 | :20:06. | :20:08. | |
people have been killed. Aid organisations say that parts of the | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
country are so dangerous that civilians are being left without | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
help. Despite these dangers, a small group of British Muslims are taking | :20:15. | :20:17. | |
aid convoys overland to Syria. They're packing second-hand | :20:18. | :20:19. | |
ambulances with aid and driving into the fray. For this report Catrin Nye | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
travelled with one convoy for part of the journey. | :20:24. | :20:32. | |
We are going. Late night in Manchester, these ambulances are | :20:33. | :20:35. | |
packed with medical supplies and food, collect it by volunteers. We | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
try to have a laugh on the way. Because you know when you get there, | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
your heart will be broken. At least they know there is someone out in | :20:46. | :20:50. | |
the world thinking about them. This is one of a number of smaller | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
charity missions going to Syria, independent of the big aid agencies. | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
There are 14 people on this convoy, five ambulances travelling more than | :21:01. | :21:06. | |
3000 miles through nine countries. It is day number three of the | :21:07. | :21:09. | |
journey and we are in Switzerland. This is one of the ambulances. It is | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
packed with medical supplies, needles, boxes and boxes of | :21:15. | :21:21. | |
painkillers. This is where four people are sleeping, so it is very | :21:22. | :21:27. | |
cramped. The group are British and of South Asian heritage. They see it | :21:28. | :21:33. | |
as a duty to help those in Syria. Come on, Syria is calling. After | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
eight days, driving in shifts, finally they reach the Syrian | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
border. This is where they enter a war zone. The convoy heads on | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
without us, they are about to take huge risks and we could put them in | :21:47. | :21:52. | |
further danger. First, they had just over the border. They are filming | :21:53. | :21:59. | |
themselves on mobile phones. Four of the group then push into Aleppo. The | :22:00. | :22:06. | |
danger are so severe here, few aid agencies are operating. This final | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
journey takes them to the front line. We went out with one of the | :22:11. | :22:17. | |
hospital ambulance drivers who knows the area. Some parts were a bit | :22:18. | :22:23. | |
hairy. More than a bit hairy. We ended up not very far from some of | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
the front lines where there were snipers. That was a very surreal | :22:29. | :22:37. | |
feeling. To actually be in the thick of it. It was a little closer than I | :22:38. | :22:49. | |
would have liked to have been. Going through sniper alley. The team go | :22:50. | :23:01. | |
through sniper lined streets. It is pushing it? If it is written for me | :23:02. | :23:09. | |
to die there, then I am going. It is not what I want to do, I have | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
children and a family at home. But at the end of the day if the world | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
was doing what it was supposed to be doing, I would not have to risk my | :23:18. | :23:21. | |
life like this. Everyone makes it home safely and the convoy planned | :23:22. | :23:35. | |
to return to Syria next month. And now to the American city of | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
Tucson, whether police have arrested a man and a woman suspected of | :23:41. | :23:43. | |
keeping their three daughters locked in their bedroom in filthy | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
conditions the two years. Police said the girls, aged 12, 13 and 17, | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
were malnourished. They claim they were beaten and kept under 24 hour | :23:54. | :23:55. | |
surveillance. Officers are now investigating a diary belonging to | :23:56. | :23:57. | |
one of the girls. When the girls were contacted, the | :23:58. | :24:00. | |
elder sister had on her a satchel. Inside the satchel was a detailed | :24:01. | :24:07. | |
journal that counts for over a year and a half of days that detectives | :24:08. | :24:15. | |
are cataloguing right now. Also, inside that satchel was a picture of | :24:16. | :24:22. | |
a pop singer. Lewis Collins has died aged 67. He | :24:23. | :24:28. | |
shot to fame in the late 1970s. He was one of the stars of The | :24:29. | :24:35. | |
Professionals. The show was popular in some parts of Europe will stop he | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
has been fighting cancer for a number of years. His agent said he | :24:40. | :24:45. | |
passed away peacefully at his home in Los Angeles, surrounded by his | :24:46. | :24:47. | |
family. This is Red Square in central | :24:48. | :24:53. | |
Moscow, it looks like a designer suitcase. Now a massive pavilion | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
construct did will have to be dismantled. There have been protests | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
it is inappropriate. Locals and tourists complain it blocks the view | :25:03. | :25:12. | |
of local monuments. Causing a confrontation with the | :25:13. | :25:17. | |
Kremlin. A giant suitcase, the size of a block of flats landed in the | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
middle of Red Square in Moscow. The French luxury brand put it there as | :25:23. | :25:29. | |
part of a publicity stunt, but it seems to have backfired. There has | :25:30. | :25:33. | |
been outrage in the Russian media after the pavilion appeared a stones | :25:34. | :25:39. | |
throw from Lenin's tomb. TRANSLATION: in the Red Square, it | :25:40. | :25:46. | |
looks ugly. All of the criticisms are justified. It takes up too much | :25:47. | :25:49. | |
space, you cannot see anything. TRANSLATION: the fact is, they like | :25:50. | :25:55. | |
to burn everything in Russia, but this reflects everything we don't | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
have. TRANSLATION: I came here especially | :26:00. | :26:04. | |
to see this disgrace. I heard about it on the radio. I was outraged. | :26:05. | :26:10. | |
The exhibition was opened ten days ago to mark the 120th anniversary. | :26:11. | :26:15. | |
But they have learnt the hard way that Russia's historic sites come | :26:16. | :26:20. | |
with baggage of their own. The Kremlin has ordered them to pack up | :26:21. | :26:24. | |
and leave. From Web squared to Washington. Now | :26:25. | :26:31. | |
for one of the more curious American traditions - the annual Thanksgiving | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
pardon of a turkey by the most powerful man in the world. I want to | :26:36. | :26:43. | |
grant lack popcorn a full reprieve. This year the turkey was called | :26:44. | :26:49. | |
Popcorn. President Obama came over all soft and decided to pardon two | :26:50. | :26:54. | |
turkeys. If you are American, have a happy Thanksgiving. From us, | :26:55. | :26:55. | |
goodbye. | :26:56. | :27:02. |
