is needed and not to do so diminishes the notion Hello. This | :00:07. | :00:14. | |
BBC World News. Our top stories. The growing threat to children from | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
polio. Why hard-won victories to eliminate the disease are slipping | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
away, especially in refugee communities. | :00:21. | :00:27. | |
Life in the Dadaab refugee camp in Kenyan, I have seen first-hand the | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
enormous vaccination campaign under way to stop this polio outbreak. | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
European finance ministers agree new measures to prevent bank failures | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
and remove the survival threat for those in trouble. Disappearing, | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
never to be seen again, the Syrian government is using enforced | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
disappearances to terrorise its civilians. It could constitute a | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
crime against humanity says a UN investigation. | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
And, blast off. Leaving Earth for one of the most ambitious space | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
explorations ever. A five-year mission to map a billion stars in | :00:55. | :00:56. | |
the Milky Way. Polio is the most feared childhood | :00:57. | :01:19. | |
disease in the world. It is incurable and can cause irreversible | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
paralysis. Until recently, doctors believed the polio virus had almost | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
been wiped out, just as smallpox was before it. Now, the United Nations | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
is warning that an outbreak in the Horn of Africa threatens a new | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
global resurgence of the virus. There are three main strains of | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
polio. They generally spread in areas of poor hygiene and | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
sanitation. One in 200 patients faces irreversible paralysis. It | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
mainly affects children under five. Sometimes this can happen within | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
hours of contracting the virus. Polio is endemic in three countries: | :01:53. | :02:01. | |
Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nigeria. Cases have recently emerged in | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
Syria, but especially in Somalia. The World Health Organisation says | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
there have been 183 cases in Somalia so far this year. That's more than | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
the rest of the world combined. Many of those affected by this | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
outbreak are refugees, which makes it harder to control. The Dadaab | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
camp in Kenya houses around half a million people, mainly Somali | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
refugees. There's a huge emergency vaccination campaign underway, to | :02:25. | :02:26. | |
prevent the disease spreading still further. | :02:27. | :02:43. | |
Here, and in hundreds of places across the Horn of Africa, help | :02:44. | :02:50. | |
workers have been setting up makeshift vaccination posts, and | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
urging people to come and get vaccinated against polio. I have | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
seen and heard stories about the human impact of a polio outbreak in | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
this poor, ill-equipped region, and spoken to officials about the effect | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
an outbreak here has on global attempts to eradicate it. | :03:10. | :03:19. | |
Patiently, they wait. And there are millions. Globally, polio has nearly | :03:20. | :03:28. | |
been eradicated. Code that goal be unravelling in one of the poorest | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
places on earth? What is happening in the Horn of Africa is an | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
emergency. Almost as many cases this year as the entire world last year. | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
These are just a few of 34 million people the UN says it is trying to | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
vaccinate by the end of the year. And so, when it is their turn, each | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
child gets two drops of oral vaccine, and for extra protection | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
and injection as well. With predictable results. This father has | :04:00. | :04:06. | |
had all 15 of his children vaccinated. TRANSLATION: The risk is | :04:07. | :04:16. | |
massive. Our children would not be able to work for themselves. But, | :04:17. | :04:24. | |
for some, it is already too late. This gifted football player has had | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
to give up his education as he can no longer walk to class. Because of | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
this sickness, I cannot proceed to school, it is very hard for me. | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
It is fighting and famine in this region which drive the outbreak. In | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
neighbouring Somalia where it began, conflict against Al-Shabab | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
voters stopped vaccination teams reaching areas. Thousands have fled. | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
And so, in the Horn of Africa, people weakened and uprooted, create | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
a hotspot for polio. The UN fears a global threat. If we don't stop it | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
here now, it will spread to neighbouring countries such as South | :05:07. | :05:08. | |
Sudan, Uganda, Tanzania, and beyond our borders. Which is why it was | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
very important to have a rapid, aggressive campaign to wrest it | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
right here. So now, in the Horn of Africa, and | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
urgent reminder to get vaccinated. Turnout rates have been higher but | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
it is too early to say whether this outbreak has been stopped, and what | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
it means for the global fight against polio. | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
These massive vaccination campaigns have been co-ordinated across | :05:36. | :05:42. | |
countries, and structured ever since the first cases of polio appeared | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
back in May. They have been doing these campaigns every month. Now, | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
the UN says in the Horn of Africa they haven't seen any case since | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
October. That is the good news. But they have to get to six months free | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
of new cases before they can declare this outbreak is over. | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
Vaccination is one thing. We can see the conditions people living in. It | :06:08. | :06:15. | |
is also about the poor conditions where polio incubates, how much of | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
that is a challenge as well? Take a look behind me. People live | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
in really bad conditions. I have had a tour of this area. Looking at some | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
of the places where people are living. These are the better | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
shelters. They are wooden frames, tin roofs, tarpaulin on the side | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
provided by the UN refugee agency. Still, people are all together in | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
small places. There is no sanitation. There is one standpipe | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
for all of these families in the compound. Animals are running | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
around. It is not clean. That can aid the spread of polio which is | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
spread through waste matter of humans. If you ingest it, you could | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
pick it up. Sanitation is definitely something that agencies are | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
increasingly thinking about. This week in Dadaab, I met one lady from | :07:12. | :07:18. | |
the UN agency whose job is to think about sanitation, how to create a | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
cleaner environment for people. I have to say, right now, the intense | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
focus is on vaccinating as many people as possible. The UN is trying | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
to reach 34 million by the end of the year. In these five years -- | :07:34. | :07:40. | |
five days, 510,000 people, that is the urgency, to vaccinate them as | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
quickly as possible. The next step is how to keep this under wraps | :07:46. | :07:46. | |
going forward. After months of difficult | :07:47. | :07:54. | |
negotiations, European Union finance ministers have agreed on a common | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
set of rules to regulate banks in the eurozone. The idea is to prevent | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
any future banking problem turning into a full scale economic crisis, | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
and to prevent the tax-payer having to foot the bill. Emily Thomas has | :08:05. | :08:18. | |
details of the deal. An era of taxpayer funded bank | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
bailouts is coming to an end. That's the idea. It took more than a year | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
of hard bargaining but, just before midnight in Brussels, the Eurozone | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
finance ministers agreed a new system to regulate the banks. It is | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
a joint European institution called the single resolution mechanism to | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
decide whether and how to shut down failing banks before they do too | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
much damage to the economy. The cost will be covered by a 55 billion | :08:44. | :08:50. | |
euros fund phased in over ten years, financed by the banking industry. | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
The system is expected to be operational from 2015. The deal has | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
been met with optimism by EU finance ministers. TRANSLATION: The Finance | :08:58. | :09:04. | |
Minister 's can be proud to have fulfilled the role in giving the | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
heads of states and agreement of high quality, good for the citizens, | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
good for financial stability, one that fulfils its mould breaking the | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
vicious circle between financial crisis and sovereign debt. | :09:16. | :09:23. | |
I think what we are building up here is the right contribution to further | :09:24. | :09:29. | |
stabilising financial markets. The ministers had been under intense | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
pressure. They needed to produce a deal for EU leaders to approve at a | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
summit which starts today. After that, the proposal will go to the | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
European Parliament for what are also expected to be tough | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
negotiations. The European Space Agency has | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
launched a mission it says is one of the most ambitious in the history of | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
space exploration. The Gaia space telescope, which is being | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
transported into orbit on this Soyuz rocket, will produce an | :09:56. | :09:57. | |
unprecedented three-dimensional map of our galaxy, the Milky Way, by | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
measuring the movement of a billion stars. It blasted off successfully | :10:01. | :10:15. | |
from French Guiana. What will it see and callous? With | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
me is the BBC's science correspondent Jonathan Amos. | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
What will it tell us? You have a smaller version of it. This is a one | :10:23. | :10:31. | |
50th model of the spacecraft. It is about 20 centimetres across in my | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
hand, but this would be about ten meters. That gives you a sense of | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
how big it is. In here, we have a couple of telescopes. Underneath the | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
telescopes, and enormous camera detector. Think of a sensor chip in | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
your phone you take pictures of -- pictures with. Ten megapixels. This | :10:52. | :10:59. | |
is 1 billion pixels. Imagine a camera that powerful. This is inside | :11:00. | :11:06. | |
the spacecraft. That is amazing. It will measure very precisely the | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
positions of the stars, how they are moving across the sky. If we can do | :11:10. | :11:17. | |
that, we can get 3D markers and make a time-lapse movie, and run that | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
forwards to see how the Milky Way will develop in the future. And we | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
can run it backwards as well, to see how the Milky Way came into being. | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
They think it cannibalised lots of little galaxies. What we see are the | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
remnants of the ancient meals that our galaxy had billions of years | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
ago. This will be sitting on a platform 1.5 million kilometres up | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
there. It is a very long way. Further away from Earth, you can get | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
out of its shadow and into a very stable environment where temperature | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
is always the same. This big disk on this model is a sun shield. Imagine | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
you have a ruler to measure something. You don't want the ruler | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
to be heated up and called down. That will expand and contract. Derek | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
was taking off a couple of hours ago. How long before it is | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
operational and we start getting those images? They have come off the | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
top of the rocket, it is flying through space. To get 1.5 million | :12:22. | :12:28. | |
climate is out will take a month. Then they will measure for about | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
five years. Then you will get the data. | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
Amazing pictures. Stay with us on BBC World News, still to come: | :12:38. | :12:44. | |
living in poverty and daily discrimination. | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
That is what life is like on the margins of society, we have rare | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
access to a Roma village in northern Romania. | :12:51. | :12:58. | |
There's growing concern about a crackdown on dissent in Egypt. The | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
authorities have arrested liberal activists for defying new | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
restrictions on public protest. The government, put in place by the | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
military this year, maintains that Egypt is on the road to democracy. | :13:09. | :13:10. | |
Orla Guerin reports. This is where it all began, in this | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
square in the heart of Cairo. As you can see, it is back to normal now. | :13:17. | :13:22. | |
It is surrounded by traffic. Grass has been planted here in the | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
centre. There used to be rows of tents here full of activists. These | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
days, it is a place where people come to sit and chat and gather. | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
Sometimes to pose and take photographs. But this is the place | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
where crowds came in January 20 11th to sweep away the long-time military | :13:41. | :13:46. | |
ruler Hosni Mubarak. The crowds were back occupying this area in July, to | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
get rid of the man elected to replace him, Mohamed Morsi. He was | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
removed by the army. Now, it is not so easy to have a protest here, or | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
anywhere else. A new law means you have to get permission. Head here is | :14:01. | :14:07. | |
a monument which was unveiled last month by the authorities. This was | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
built to commemorate those who were killed getting rid of two | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
presidents. It has been destroyed once already. By activists who said | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
the authorities did the killing, and they had no business commemorating | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
their own victims. And now it stands as a kind of testament to the deep | :14:27. | :14:33. | |
divisions in Egypt. But there is one man who unites many | :14:34. | :14:39. | |
Egyptians and, believe it or not, he has even been immortalised in | :14:40. | :14:42. | |
chocolate. You can see him his face. He is the army chief, and he | :14:43. | :14:50. | |
became enormously popular after leading the coup which removed | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
Mohamed Morsi. Undoubtedly the most powerful man in Egypt today. The | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
owner of this shop says her chocolates are among the best | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
selling item in the place. You can see he's wearing various different | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
uniforms. These days, you can even get themed pyjamas. The owner here | :15:09. | :15:14. | |
says, if the general stands for the presidency next year, and many | :15:15. | :15:19. | |
believe he will, that she will even make a chocolate election poster. | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
Many experts are addicting if he stands he could win by a landslide. | :15:24. | :15:31. | |
You are with BBC World News. The latest headlines: The growing threat | :15:32. | :15:39. | |
of polio in the Horn of Africa. Doctors warn it poses a threat to | :15:40. | :15:46. | |
children in the rest of the world. Eurozone is discussing a new deal | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
which will prevent the taxpayer from having to foot the bill if they have | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
to bail out banks again. The United Nations is just accusing | :15:55. | :15:57. | |
the Syrian government of being responsible for thousands of | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
disappearances. They call it a sustained campaign of terror against | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
its own people. Human rights investigators say most of those who | :16:06. | :16:08. | |
have been detained are never seen again. In many cases the families | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
are too terrified to find out what has happened to them. Let's go to | :16:13. | :16:18. | |
the BBC's image and folks in Geneva. That report has just been published. | :16:19. | :16:26. | |
What are the headlines from it? The headlines are that from the start of | :16:27. | :16:32. | |
the conflict in the spring of 2011, there has been a systematic campaign | :16:33. | :16:38. | |
to disappear people who have posed a threat to the government. It started | :16:39. | :16:45. | |
with men aged between 16 and 40 on demonstrations. Then it moved to | :16:46. | :16:49. | |
anyone who might have just the faintest connection with the | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
opposition. Bennett has moved to reprise all disappearances in | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
villages where the operation has been active. The evidence from the | :16:57. | :17:02. | |
campaign, much of it comes from former army officers who have | :17:03. | :17:08. | |
defected. They have a clear view of the policy inside the military. What | :17:09. | :17:14. | |
the investigators says this serves to terrify the population. Families | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
who enquire about what has happened to a are detained themselves. It is | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
a way of making sure, trying to ensure the population stays quiet | :17:23. | :17:29. | |
and does not protest. They also make the point that some opposition | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
groups have also been violating human rights. Yes, they do. They say | :17:34. | :17:40. | |
that has increased in the last months, the taking of hostages for | :17:41. | :17:46. | |
example, in return for money. There is also a report from Amnesty | :17:47. | :17:49. | |
International saying some of the opposition groups are committing | :17:50. | :17:57. | |
human rights violations. I think we have a picture in Syria that if you | :17:58. | :18:03. | |
are detained, your chances of being well treated very slim. Let's not | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
forget that the body which supposed to visit people detained in | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
conflict, the International Committee of the Red Cross, has | :18:12. | :18:14. | |
basically been prevented from doing so throughout the conflict in Syria. | :18:15. | :18:23. | |
Thank you for that update. In Russia, the president Vladimir | :18:24. | :18:31. | |
Putin, has described his bailout for Ukraine as an act of brotherly love. | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
He denied the loan had anything to do with the mass pro-European | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
demonstrations which have been taking place in Kiev. TRANSLATION: I | :18:40. | :18:48. | |
will be very frank with you, don't take it as an irony but I often use | :18:49. | :18:59. | |
the term or other nation or sister nation. The situation in Ukraine is | :19:00. | :19:06. | |
difficult. So if we say sister nation, we should do what family | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
members do, we should support our sister nation when they are in dire | :19:11. | :19:19. | |
straits. This is the number one reason why those decisions were | :19:20. | :19:25. | |
taken. I'm joined by the BBC's diplomatic correspondent Bridget | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
Kendall. What was your impression, particularly some of the odd events | :19:30. | :19:35. | |
which took place in this meeting. What I found interesting was this | :19:36. | :19:42. | |
gathering of journalists, the way that people were holding up placards | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
of their region or newspaper on it, to try and get the attention of the | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
press secretary or the president. After awhile, you see why they did | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
it. It was a bit like petitioning the Czar, as if he was the man who | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
could solve all their problems. Although probably his PR advisers | :20:01. | :20:06. | |
thought it would be good and make him look like a benevolent leader | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
who listened to the worries of the people, there were quite a lot of | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
questions who came from people of remote regions of Russia, the far | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
east for example, which painted an appalling picture of how they lived, | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
factories on the verge of going bankrupt, towns where they are | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
worried about their jobs. One woman said she checked with the local | :20:26. | :20:28. | |
authorities and they only had cold for three days and the temperature | :20:29. | :20:34. | |
had dropped 30 degrees. Mr Putin replied by saying, I will look into | :20:35. | :20:38. | |
this. He took notes will stop you could understand why everybody | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
wanted to waive their placard. But a country which 20 years after it | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
launched its cells on the path of a market economy, still has towns and | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
villages were the only way they can see out of their predicament is to | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
appeal to the leader in Moscow, that is pretty dysfunctional. Meanwhile, | :20:56. | :21:02. | |
there is the leader of Russia and Ukraine. The Ukrainian president is | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
on air talking about how the deal with European Union is on the table | :21:07. | :21:09. | |
but very clear from President Putin about what the deal will be in his | :21:10. | :21:16. | |
view. It was the top question in President Putin's conference and | :21:17. | :21:22. | |
there was more than one question. Simultaneously in Kiev, the | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
president was talking about it on their television. President Putin | :21:27. | :21:32. | |
said out of sisterly brotherly love, they are part of their family. But | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
he also said he had made it clear to the Ukrainians, if they went with an | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
European agreement then lots of trading Russia would close and that | :21:43. | :21:45. | |
would be terrible for industries, especially in the east. President | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
Yankovic said there were no contradictions between what he had | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
done with Russia and the course for any kind of European integration but | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
he said his cabinet would be looking at the Russians' alternative customs | :22:00. | :22:02. | |
union and see if there was any part of it they wanted to join which | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
those people protesting on the square in Kiev will not like very | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
much. He said their actions were revolutionaries. He said there was a | :22:12. | :22:18. | |
warning to the West not to meddle in his country's affairs. I think the | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
president in Kiev is still taking questions. Thank you. | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
Across Europe, there are an estimated ten many Roma people. A | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
large number live in poverty and they face daily discrimination. | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
Their plight was highlighted when a Roma couple in Greece were accused | :22:36. | :22:39. | |
of abducting a young blonde girl called Maria. One of the largest | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
Roma populations lives in northern Romania. Our correspondent has had | :22:45. | :22:55. | |
unique aspect on community there. I first meet six-year-old Samuel in | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
the laboratory of an abandoned copper factory on the outskirts of | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
town. Samuel lives in a single room with his grandparents and eight | :23:04. | :23:09. | |
cousins. In the hallway, his neighbour is sniffing paint thinner | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
while Samuel and his cousins play. For decades, this was one of the | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
most polluting factories in Ray mania. Yet it is now home for 160 | :23:19. | :23:28. | |
Roma families including 245 children. Until last year, Samuel's | :23:29. | :23:35. | |
grandfather, a street cleaner, was raising all nine of his | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
grandchildren. The community has lived here for 20 years but the land | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
is not theirs. Like Roma people across Europe, there have claimed a | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
right to settle on public land. With anti-Roma sentiment running high, | :23:49. | :23:56. | |
the families living here were issued with eviction notices and the | :23:57. | :23:57. | |
demolitions began. The mayor made the demolition of | :23:58. | :24:15. | |
this community and other one is his number one campaign promise for | :24:16. | :24:16. | |
re-election. He was re-elected with 86% of the | :24:17. | :24:37. | |
vote and is now the most popular mayor in Ray mania. Five minutes | :24:38. | :24:45. | |
from the centre of that settlement is another one. As I make my way | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
around the building, I meet Rebecca. Although she is ten years old, she | :24:52. | :24:56. | |
is not going to school. Her grandmother says she was turned | :24:57. | :24:57. | |
away. The authorities say there are no | :24:58. | :25:12. | |
restrictions on Roma children accessing mainstream education. The | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
lack of schooling, whether by parental choice because of the | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
system remains a big problem for this community and any chance of a | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
better future. Back at the factory, I meet Giorgio's daughter-in-law, | :25:28. | :25:34. | |
17-year-old Roxana. She was 12 when she dropped out of school. | :25:35. | :25:43. | |
I ask her what she will do in the future. | :25:44. | :25:56. | |
Other news at this hour: Anstey International say nearly a thousand | :25:57. | :26:04. | |
people in the Central African Republic were killed in attacks two | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
weeks ago by mainly Muslim militia. Homes were looted and set alight in | :26:10. | :26:17. | |
the capital. That is despite the presence of international | :26:18. | :26:20. | |
peacekeepers. Two men who were released from the international | :26:21. | :26:24. | |
defence -- detention centre in Guant?namo Bay have been flown home | :26:25. | :26:36. | |
to Saddam. Finally, the Stradivarius violin | :26:37. | :26:41. | |
which thieves tried to sell for $160 has been sold for much more than | :26:42. | :26:47. | |
expected. The 300-year-old violin was stolen from the sandwich bar in | :26:48. | :26:54. | |
Euston three years ago. It was recently recovered from a house in | :26:55. | :26:59. | |
the British Midlands. Thank you for joining me, goodbye. | :27:00. | :27:02. |
