:00:11. > :00:19.Hello, welcome to BBC World News. Malaysian police have identified one
:00:20. > :00:23.of two men who used stolen passports to board the aircraft. The Oscar
:00:24. > :00:30.Pistorius trial is not broadcasting graphic details of the murder of
:00:31. > :00:41.macro free. A deal on the Ukrainian nuclear programme could be reached
:00:42. > :00:57.within months. It is all change on the International Space Station as
:00:58. > :01:01.colleagues swap roles. Malaysian police have told the BBC that they
:01:02. > :01:05.have identified one of two men who boarded the missing Malaysian
:01:06. > :01:13.Airlines flight with stolen passports. Police say they cannot
:01:14. > :01:17.reveal his identity but said he is not Malaysian. The search is
:01:18. > :01:25.continuing for the missing airline. This is a photo of the plane on an
:01:26. > :01:32.earlier flight. 239 people were on board the plane as it travelled from
:01:33. > :01:39.Kuala Lumpur when it vanished. An earlier possible sighting of a live
:01:40. > :01:44.craft proved to be unfounded. The search area has been widened and
:01:45. > :01:51.includes an area of the western coast. The Malaysian government is
:01:52. > :01:54.sharing intelligence with the Americans and Chinese over the two
:01:55. > :02:00.stolen passports that we used to board the flight. The Transport
:02:01. > :02:08.Minister told us how they were showing that intelligence. I met up
:02:09. > :02:18.with the US intelligence agency yesterday. We are sharing background
:02:19. > :02:23.information and visuals. That information is being digestive by
:02:24. > :02:29.the relevant agencies, both local and international. Until I get more
:02:30. > :02:38.information, I will not say any more. I do not want to affect the
:02:39. > :02:43.ongoing investigation. Our correspondent is in Kuala Lumpur.
:02:44. > :02:46.Jennifer, what is going on there at the moment, and what do we know
:02:47. > :02:58.about the identity of the two men who used the stolen passports? Well,
:02:59. > :03:02.we are in the press conference room where the officials are going to
:03:03. > :03:07.give another press conference shortly, at the top of the hour.
:03:08. > :03:14.There are lots of media agencies here, especially Chinese. Half of
:03:15. > :03:18.the passengers on board were Chinese stop there is intense international
:03:19. > :03:20.interest in this story, but the information coming out of this room
:03:21. > :03:35.has not been satisfying the journalist. -- journalists. They are
:03:36. > :03:40.not willing to give out information until they can double-check it all
:03:41. > :03:45.and make sure it is concrete. That is why we have reports regarding the
:03:46. > :03:54.live craft and the spotting of debris. -- live craft. That is why
:03:55. > :03:57.they are telling people to avoid speculation because the scale of
:03:58. > :04:05.this search is so massive, and they do not have any further details on
:04:06. > :04:09.the whereabouts of flights MH370. Have you had it confirmed that they
:04:10. > :04:19.know the identity of one of the people who used this stolen
:04:20. > :04:22.passport? Indeed. Malaysian leas have told the BBC that they have
:04:23. > :04:29.identified one of the two passengers who got on the aeroplane with a
:04:30. > :04:34.stolen passport but they have not given any further details other than
:04:35. > :04:39.he is not Malaysian. They are cautious about revealing
:04:40. > :04:45.information. This is one of many areas that they are looking into. Do
:04:46. > :04:49.these two passengers have anything to do with the disappearance of this
:04:50. > :05:01.aircraft? That is unresolved at this point in time. There are a lots of
:05:02. > :05:06.questions. -- a lot. And cute, we will return to you through the day.
:05:07. > :05:11.Over half of the 239 passengers on board were Chinese. Our Beijing
:05:12. > :05:16.correspondent has entered this report from a hotel where relatives
:05:17. > :05:24.await, anxiously, news of their loved ones. This is the Hotel, a
:05:25. > :05:30.short drive from the airport, where the family members have been
:05:31. > :05:35.brought. The mood inside is best described as a mixture of the grief
:05:36. > :05:48.and mounting frustration. Malaysian Airlines have offered to fly to
:05:49. > :05:55.macro members -- two members of each family to the sites. There is an
:05:56. > :05:58.absence of information with the Malaysian government describing the
:05:59. > :06:03.whereabouts of flight MH370 as a mystery. We also understand that
:06:04. > :06:08.some family members do not have Chinese passport so they will face a
:06:09. > :06:12.bureaucratic hurdles before they can get on an aeroplane. To say there is
:06:13. > :06:22.intense media interest is an understatement. These are some of
:06:23. > :06:26.the reporters gathered outside the room where the family are being
:06:27. > :06:31.briefed. Many of them have expressed their anger over a lack of
:06:32. > :06:36.information. There is so little information to give them at the
:06:37. > :06:40.moment, and it is an intensely difficult time, in the glare of the
:06:41. > :06:45.media spotlight, with our more questions than there are answers.
:06:46. > :06:51.All the time, they realised they may be beginning a grieving process for
:06:52. > :06:54.loved ones who are not coming back. We will keep you up to date on any
:06:55. > :07:08.developments within that press conference. A run's Foreign Minister
:07:09. > :07:11.says Ed real -- Iran's Foreign Minister says a deal on its nuclear
:07:12. > :07:14.programme could be reached 'within months.' Mohammad Javad Zarif made
:07:15. > :07:19.the comment after talks with the European Union's foreign policy
:07:20. > :07:27.chief, Catherine Ashton. Iran has waited a long time. Six years for
:07:28. > :07:34.Europe's top diplomats to visit. It was important to get every detail
:07:35. > :07:51.right in an attempt to build a new relationship between Iran and
:07:52. > :07:55.Europe. The landmark deal they reached on the nuclear programme
:07:56. > :08:04.runs out soon. The time is short and the gaps are white. Are you worried
:08:05. > :08:09.they may not succeed? Iran is determined to reach an agreement and
:08:10. > :08:15.it is within its own interests to make sure there is no ambiguity
:08:16. > :08:26.about Iran's intentions. We have no intention to seek nuclear weapons.
:08:27. > :08:34.As the negotiations go on, the talks become more difficult. Catherine
:08:35. > :08:37.Ashton made it a priority to meet women fighting for human rights
:08:38. > :08:45.here. This woman has been to prison for times for her political views.
:08:46. > :08:50.Europe's top diplomat wants to engage on these issues. We have come
:08:51. > :08:58.to establish for ourselves the situation here. We also recognise
:08:59. > :09:06.that that relationship is, in many ways, dependent on whether we can
:09:07. > :09:08.deal with the new killer issue, and whether Iran demonstrates it is
:09:09. > :09:15.looking for a different role. Iranians have suffered under
:09:16. > :09:20.sanctions for years. A nuclear deal brought some hope. Many wanted a
:09:21. > :09:27.relationship with the West but many are convinced it will not happen.
:09:28. > :09:43.The sixth day of the Oscar Pistorius trial is underway. The court has
:09:44. > :09:49.been hearing evidence. Oscar Pistorius, seen here arriving in
:09:50. > :09:53.court today, is on trial for allegedly killing his girlfriend.
:09:54. > :10:04.Our reporter is outside the courthouse. What has happened today?
:10:05. > :10:14.The only thing that we can say was that there was an order from the
:10:15. > :10:18.judge who said that there should be no live broadcasting of the evidence
:10:19. > :10:27.that was delivered by the state pathologist. No one is allowed to
:10:28. > :10:34.broadcast that or even tweeds that. -- tweet. The professor has started
:10:35. > :10:41.giving evidence, graphic details about the injuries that macro
:10:42. > :10:46.re-sustained -- that Miss Steenkamp sustained. Oscar Pistorius became
:10:47. > :10:52.physically ill in court and there was an adjournment because of that.
:10:53. > :11:02.He was asked whether he would continue today's proceedings, but
:11:03. > :11:08.the lawyer told the court that if it could change anything then he words
:11:09. > :11:13.ask for a discontinuation, but Oscar Pistorius has asked to continue. No
:11:14. > :11:21.reasons have been given for why this cannot be broadcast? Well, we heard
:11:22. > :11:30.from the professor that the reason he gave was that he feels the
:11:31. > :11:35.dignity of the deceased would not the respected -- would not be
:11:36. > :11:39.respected. He had ethical problems about broadcasting these details,
:11:40. > :11:42.and there were arguments from the defence attorney of Oscar Pistorius
:11:43. > :11:47.that it was not in the public interest to give out the public
:11:48. > :11:54.details of Miss Steenkamp's injuries. Pressure is growing on
:11:55. > :12:03.Ukraine's interim government as Moscow strengthened its grip on
:12:04. > :12:07.Crimea. Rallies are taking place in eastern Ukraine and in Moscow in
:12:08. > :12:11.support of the Crimean people deciding their own future. The
:12:12. > :12:17.ousted president is expected to speak tomorrow. However, not all
:12:18. > :12:25.ethnic Russians living in Crimea want the region to leave Ukraine. I
:12:26. > :12:31.think this invitation by President Obama to the interim Prime Minister
:12:32. > :12:39.is a very clear show of support for the interim government here. It is
:12:40. > :12:46.proof that the USA and the international community see the
:12:47. > :12:50.government here in Kiev as a legitimate one, at least until the
:12:51. > :12:55.elections in May. They are saying that they support Ukraine, and
:12:56. > :13:02.repeating the idea that Moscow is committing an act of aggression in
:13:03. > :13:08.Crimea, and Russian troops need to withdraw. We have not seen any
:13:09. > :13:11.sign, any real sign, that international pressure is having any
:13:12. > :13:20.impact on Moscow, certainly not on the ground here in Crimea. President
:13:21. > :13:25.Putin, in a phone call with the British Prime Minister, did say that
:13:26. > :13:29.an international contact group is a possibility. He said that he would
:13:30. > :13:35.discuss that possibility with his Foreign Minister. A suggestion that
:13:36. > :13:42.it could be possible to bring Russia and Ukraine into some talks, the
:13:43. > :13:46.first step to working their way out of this crisis. Meanwhile, rings are
:13:47. > :13:54.moving quickly here. There has been a report today that there will be
:13:55. > :14:01.moves to introduce the Russian currency in Crimea. Obviously, these
:14:02. > :14:13.are disturbing times for people in Kiev. Now, let's tell you what is
:14:14. > :14:16.coming up. I will be speaking to the BBC security correspondent, Frank
:14:17. > :14:30.Gardner, about Malaysian's announcement that it is sharing
:14:31. > :14:32.intelligence with America and China. The Venezuelan President, Nicolas
:14:33. > :14:35.Maduro, has reacted angrily to comments made by US Vice-President
:14:36. > :14:39.Joe Biden about ongoing protests in the country. In a newspaper article
:14:40. > :14:41.Mr Biden called the situation alarming and accused the Venezuelan
:14:42. > :14:50.government of false conspiracy theories against the United States.
:14:51. > :14:54.Donna Larsen reports. Tensions flare again in the Venezuelan capital,
:14:55. > :14:58.Caracas. For almost a month, protesters have used barricades and
:14:59. > :15:03.clashed with police. They are angry about food shortages and they are
:15:04. > :15:10.demanding the resignation of the president, Nicolas Maduro.
:15:11. > :15:14.TRANSLATION: We need to unite. A lot of people do not want to unite
:15:15. > :15:18.because they say this is vandalism. We are fighting with the National
:15:19. > :15:25.Guard. They are ambushing us on both sides. It is a theory which the US
:15:26. > :15:29.vice president agrees with. Writing in a newspaper, he said the
:15:30. > :15:32.Venezuelan government was using armed vigilante is against peaceful
:15:33. > :15:38.protesters, and had concocted false conspiracy theories about the US.
:15:39. > :15:44.The comments were sternly rejected a President Maduro, at this
:15:45. > :15:49.pro-government rally. TRANSLATION: Joe Biden arrived in
:15:50. > :15:52.Chile and the first thing he did was to attack Venezuela and Latin
:15:53. > :15:56.America. He is an abuser. He comes to south America to attack the
:15:57. > :16:02.people of Venezuelan. We do not accept it. Although the president
:16:03. > :16:05.Gordon Administration shows no sign of crumbling yet, the daily
:16:06. > :16:08.protests, which have spread to other parts of the country, are
:16:09. > :16:15.undoubtedly putting the government and the economy under pressure.
:16:16. > :16:20.A drug lord in Mexico has been killed - again. Officials say
:16:21. > :16:23.Nazario Moreno, also known as The Craziest One, is now officially
:16:24. > :16:27.deceased - after he was reportedly killed three years ago. He was seen
:16:28. > :16:29.as the spiritual leader of the brutal Knights Templar cartel.
:16:30. > :16:41.Fingerprint tests have confirmed his identity. Our main headlines...
:16:42. > :16:44.Police in Malaysia say they've identified one of the two men who
:16:45. > :16:50.boarded the missing plane with stolen passports. Malaysia says it
:16:51. > :16:55.is sharing biometric details of passengers with intelligence
:16:56. > :17:07.agencies in America and China. Lets get more on our top story now. With
:17:08. > :17:11.me is Frank Gardner, the BBC security correspondent. The fact
:17:12. > :17:13.that two people boarded a plane with stolen passports raises question
:17:14. > :17:18.marks, but it is not completely unusual. Interpol say that they have
:17:19. > :17:23.on their database 40 million stolen passports logged, or at least, 40
:17:24. > :17:27.million cases, and that in the last year, 1 billion times, people have
:17:28. > :17:33.gone through a port security without that list being checked. So, it is
:17:34. > :17:36.not entirely surprising that on an international flight of more than
:17:37. > :17:39.200 people, that a couple of people will have that. But of course the
:17:40. > :17:43.Malaysians and every body else involved in this art rightly
:17:44. > :17:46.interested to find out who those people were, why they had stolen
:17:47. > :17:52.passports, and where they were going. One of them it appears has
:17:53. > :17:56.been identified. It would be really interesting to know who he or she
:17:57. > :18:02.is. The original holders of those passports, an Italian and an
:18:03. > :18:05.Austrian, it seems they reported them, but that did not actually get
:18:06. > :18:11.as far as the gate. What should have happened is, when somebody boarded
:18:12. > :18:14.that flight in Kuala Lumpur, with that stolen passport, it should have
:18:15. > :18:19.flashed up a warning immediately. Malaysia is not alone. Lots of
:18:20. > :18:24.countries and national border agencies do not actually do this
:18:25. > :18:30.check. Interpol are saying, now is the time, this should be a wake-up
:18:31. > :18:34.call. Why do they not do it? They maybe it is just one thing to many
:18:35. > :18:39.for people. It would probably slow down passport lines. It is a very
:18:40. > :18:43.good question. The big priority is to stop people getting on board
:18:44. > :18:50.planes with a gun or explosives. Obviously, anything to do with
:18:51. > :18:55.airline hijacking, terrorism, piracy, the Americans have got a
:18:56. > :18:58.massive interest in. Apart from the fact that it was a US citizen I
:18:59. > :19:03.think on the manifest, the FBI are very involved in this. And they have
:19:04. > :19:07.got the technology and the database. One thing the Americans have done is
:19:08. > :19:12.to scan their detectors to see if there was any sign of a flash over
:19:13. > :19:16.the Gulf of Thailand at the time the plane was flying, and there wasn't.
:19:17. > :19:21.How unusual is it for the Chinese and the Americans both to be given
:19:22. > :19:28.these results? I know quite a lot of sharing goes on between
:19:29. > :19:32.countries... I think this is one of those human tragedies which
:19:33. > :19:35.transcends national borders. There has already been quite a lot of
:19:36. > :19:40.tension between China and Vietnam for example over the south China Sea
:19:41. > :19:46.and maritime rights and Islands and so on, and yet that seems to have
:19:47. > :19:51.been put to one side. Everybody, for the sake of the relatives, the loved
:19:52. > :19:56.ones, wants to find out, needs to find out urgently, what has happened
:19:57. > :19:59.to this plane. Very quickly, is it possible that we do not have the
:20:00. > :20:05.information from satellites or from wherever, given that there is so
:20:06. > :20:11.much radar checking, how can it just disappear? You are saying, has there
:20:12. > :20:15.been a cover-up? Not necessarily, it just seems implausible. It is
:20:16. > :20:20.surprising that it has taken this long, definitely. With calm seas,
:20:21. > :20:23.the black box will appear, the US Navy is confident about that. The
:20:24. > :20:25.seventh Fleet is searching for it. I think they will find it. It will
:20:26. > :20:43.just take a bit of time. A group of Greek Orthodox nuns have
:20:44. > :20:46.been released three months after being kidnapped by Syrian rebels.
:20:47. > :20:49.The Syrian state news agency says they have arrived in Damascus. The
:20:50. > :20:52.13 nuns and their three domestic helpers said they were tired, but
:20:53. > :20:56.had been mostly well-treated by their captors - thought to be the
:20:57. > :20:58.al-Qaeda-linked Al Nusra Front. A Lebanese general who helped broker
:20:59. > :21:01.the release said the Syrian government would free about 150
:21:02. > :21:03.women and child prisoners in exchange.
:21:04. > :21:06.The International Court of Justice in The Hague is continuing its
:21:07. > :21:09.hearing on competing claims of genocide by both Croatia and Serbia
:21:10. > :21:12.in the Balkan wars. Croatia is arguing that Serbia committed
:21:13. > :21:15.genocide in the city of Vukovar and elsewhere in 1991. Serbia has filed
:21:16. > :21:17.a counter claim over the expulsion of 230,000 Serbs from Croatia in
:21:18. > :21:35.1995. Now, a special report on a condition
:21:36. > :21:38.that affects two million women across mostly Sub-Saharan Africa and
:21:39. > :21:41.south Asia. The BBC has special access to British doctors trying to
:21:42. > :21:44.treat the devastating condition obstetric fistula. It occurs as a
:21:45. > :21:46.result of complications in childbirth. Our global health
:21:47. > :21:49.correspondent Tulip Mazumdar reports from Masaka in central Uganda. There
:21:50. > :21:52.are some graphic details in her report, but around the world, there
:21:53. > :22:00.are nearly 2,000 new cases every day. The nearest hospital here in
:22:01. > :22:05.rural Uganda is two hours away. Most women give birth at home, and some
:22:06. > :22:09.lose their babies as a result. This lady was 16 when she went into
:22:10. > :22:13.labour here. After three days she was finally taken to hospital. She
:22:14. > :22:22.gave birth to a little girl, who died soon after delivery. She tells
:22:23. > :22:27.me she was cursed, and that is why her baby died. The obstructed
:22:28. > :22:39.delivery also caused a rupture in her bladder, making her leak urine
:22:40. > :22:42.constantly, a condition known as obstetric fistula. For some women,
:22:43. > :22:48.their bowels are also affected, making them doubly incontinent. Now,
:22:49. > :22:56.a rare opportunity to repair the damage, for two weeks, doctors from
:22:57. > :23:03.Britain are providing free fistula surgery at this hospital, which
:23:04. > :23:07.usually costs $700. TRANSLATION: I was very lively
:23:08. > :23:13.before. Now, I cannot mix with people. When I pass someone, they
:23:14. > :23:20.tell me I stink. Even when I take a bath, the smell does not leave me,
:23:21. > :23:25.so I just stay at home. To raise awareness, the missionaries who run
:23:26. > :23:28.the hospital travel to villages and talk about family planning and
:23:29. > :23:31.giving birth safely. Most of the women here today will have given
:23:32. > :23:34.birth at home with a traditional birthing attendant. These are
:23:35. > :23:39.generally older women who have little or no medical experience. The
:23:40. > :23:43.Dr is telling the community instead to save enough money to get the
:23:44. > :23:46.woman to hospital so that she can give birth safely. She says that
:23:47. > :23:52.could be the difference between life and death for the woman, and for her
:23:53. > :24:01.unborn child. Let's go through. The morning of Selena's surgery, and she
:24:02. > :24:05.is nervous. This is complex surgery. The hope is that Dr Duffy and his
:24:06. > :24:11.team will train Ugandan doctors so that they can eventually take over.
:24:12. > :24:19.We do four camps year. We have a local surgeon here, who is able to
:24:20. > :24:23.do the simple fistulas. So, she is starting to take them on, but
:24:24. > :24:27.unfortunately, not as much surgery happens after we have gone as we
:24:28. > :24:31.would like. Selina's operation has been a success. After a short
:24:32. > :24:35.recovery time, her mother hopes she can go back to school and get her
:24:36. > :24:43.life back. But many more women are left waiting, facing a lifetime of
:24:44. > :24:54.rejection, shame and she mediation. -- and humiliation.
:24:55. > :24:57.If you have seen the film Gravity, this next piece might ring a bell,
:24:58. > :25:00.because the International Space Station has a new commander, the
:25:01. > :25:05.first Japanese astronaut to take up the post. There was a ceremony which
:25:06. > :25:11.was watched by ground control. This report from Alpa Patel. Koichi
:25:12. > :25:16.Wakata is used to making history. He was one of three astronauts to take
:25:17. > :25:21.the first Olympic torch into space. At now, during a live ceremony which
