:00:51. > :00:55.hopeful football fans is expressed in a special verse willing the team
:00:56. > :01:15.to success at the World Cup. Hello. Thank you for watching. The
:01:16. > :01:19.top story this hour is the news coming out of Pakistan, where
:01:20. > :01:23.security forces say they have regained control of Karachi airport
:01:24. > :01:28.after an attack by gunmen left 28 people dead, including ten
:01:29. > :01:32.militants. The attack began on Sunday evening in Pakistan's biggest
:01:33. > :01:39.city, Karachi, and at its biggest airport. Jinnah International
:01:40. > :01:45.Airport. Gunmen entered an area used mainly for cargo and private
:01:46. > :01:49.flights. They hurled grenades and fired automatic weapons. Several
:01:50. > :01:53.explosions were heard and even after authorities said they had secured
:01:54. > :01:57.the airport, more gunfire and explosions were reported.
:01:58. > :02:00.Pakistan's Taliban says it carried out the attack in revenge for air
:02:01. > :02:07.strikes in areas along the Afghan border. Let's get this report from
:02:08. > :02:13.Emily Thomas. Just before midnight, Pakistan's biggest airport becomes a
:02:14. > :02:19.battlefield. Gunmen disguised as policemen stormed a terminal
:02:20. > :02:23.building mainly used for cargo. The ten terrorists entered the airport
:02:24. > :02:26.from two different directions in groups of five. As they hurled
:02:27. > :02:32.grenades and fired at security guards, the rest of the airport was
:02:33. > :02:35.swiftly evacuated. For five hours, the sound of gunfire and explosions,
:02:36. > :02:43.smoke and flames all filled the night sky. Loud sounds were coming
:02:44. > :02:48.from the direction of the airport. Then we saw small fires erupting
:02:49. > :02:52.around the hangar. The firing was so intense that it looked like war had
:02:53. > :02:57.broken out between India and Pakistan. More than 25 people have
:02:58. > :03:00.been killed, many of them airport workers and security guards. The
:03:01. > :03:06.nearby hospital struggles to cope as the injured continue to arrive. As
:03:07. > :03:09.dawn broke, the army said it had taken control but then fresh
:03:10. > :03:14.violence. The sound of gunfire once more. The attackers may have
:03:15. > :03:18.intended a longer and deadly siege. One official told the BBC that they
:03:19. > :03:24.were carrying dry food supplies and suicide vests have also been found.
:03:25. > :03:28.Security officials have insisted the siege is over and that the airport
:03:29. > :03:31.will reopen in the next few hours. Pakistan's Taliban have said they
:03:32. > :03:33.will reopen the attack in response to the killing of their leader last
:03:34. > :03:47.year. They said: The Taliban is the main militant
:03:48. > :03:51.group in Pakistan and peace talks with the Government have floundered
:03:52. > :03:53.in recent weeks. A Government minister describes this latest
:03:54. > :04:00.attack as well thought out and the attackers as well trained.
:04:01. > :04:04.The full details of that attack are still emerging but let's speak to
:04:05. > :04:09.Hassan Abdullah, who joins us on the phone from Karachi. He is a
:04:10. > :04:15.counterterrorism analyst. Thank you for speaking to us. Speak to us
:04:16. > :04:17.about what you think is the significance of striking Karachi
:04:18. > :04:24.international airport for the Taliban. There is a lot of symbolism
:04:25. > :04:28.in this. Previously the Taliban and other groups linked to Al-Qaeda have
:04:29. > :04:34.established that they have the capacity to strike from their
:04:35. > :04:39.headquarters to the airbase in Karachi. There is a lot of
:04:40. > :04:42.symbolism. Officials were saying that they were successful in not
:04:43. > :04:47.allowing the militants to carry out further damage, but the point is
:04:48. > :04:52.that the militants managed to break through three security cordons, they
:04:53. > :04:56.managed to target the aeroplanes in the hangers, and they managed to
:04:57. > :05:00.engage security forces for about six hours. There is a lot of symbolism
:05:01. > :05:06.in this and of course it will be a PR disaster for Pakistan. They have
:05:07. > :05:10.already had problems in terms of the aviation industry. Not just a PR
:05:11. > :05:14.disaster. Innocent people were killed in this attack and you talk
:05:15. > :05:18.about there being three parameters that the attackers got through.
:05:19. > :05:22.Presumably the Government must have known that this was a high profile
:05:23. > :05:26.target, not least because it is the most high profile airport in the
:05:27. > :05:31.country. Why was security not better? Certainly there have been
:05:32. > :05:36.reports in the past and a number of TV channels had highlighted some of
:05:37. > :05:40.the security flaws in this area, particularly at the airport. The
:05:41. > :05:45.airport security forces are still using scanning devices that were
:05:46. > :05:49.used initially in Iraq, and it was proven that it was a fraud and the
:05:50. > :05:54.device does not work. At the same time, a trench was dug up close to
:05:55. > :05:59.one of the sites at the airport and nothing was done about it. Basically
:06:00. > :06:01.this airport has been a sitting duck. There were intelligence
:06:02. > :06:06.reports highlighting these things but nothing was done. And
:06:07. > :06:10.fortunately we have a history of such incidents taking place. There
:06:11. > :06:15.is a lot of talk in the media of investigations but nothing comes out
:06:16. > :06:22.of it. This is going to be one of those events again. Also the fact
:06:23. > :06:27.that militants, as it appears at the moment, managed to appear to be
:06:28. > :06:34.airport officials, wearing uniforms and badges. This raises serious
:06:35. > :06:36.questions. OK, many questions remaining and the investigation just
:06:37. > :06:42.beginning. Thank you for speaking to us from Karachi.
:06:43. > :06:46.It cannot have escaped your notice that the World Cup is beginning in
:06:47. > :06:51.Brazil in three days. The governor of Sao Paulo state is warning that
:06:52. > :06:57.striking subway workers there will have to return to work Mthey will
:06:58. > :07:03.face the sack. The workers voted to continue to strike for an indefinite
:07:04. > :07:12.period despite the strike being ruled as illegal. Tear gas has been
:07:13. > :07:14.used to break up street demonstrations this morning.
:07:15. > :07:19.Emotions were running high on Sunday afternoon. Union leaders rallied
:07:20. > :07:24.their members after a court ruling urged people to return to work.
:07:25. > :07:33.Unions want a pay rise of more than 12%. The state owned company has
:07:34. > :07:36.offered despite the court threatening them with a fine of
:07:37. > :07:39.$200,000 per day for every day they continue to strike, it was pretty
:07:40. > :07:47.clear what they thought as union members raised their ID cards to
:07:48. > :07:54.vote. Despite judges ruling that they voted to continue the
:07:55. > :07:58.indefinite strike, transport could be affected on match days. The
:07:59. > :08:01.traffic in this city is bad at the best of times but the last few days
:08:02. > :08:12.so it getting worse. Huge traffic jams and bus queues as people try to
:08:13. > :08:16.get to work. The unions have been accused of using the World Cup to
:08:17. > :08:20.extract more from the Government and this was denied. They have put the
:08:21. > :08:24.World Cup in the middle of our salary negotiations. We have been
:08:25. > :08:28.negotiating salaries since May and has carried on until June so now we
:08:29. > :08:32.have got the World Cup. This strike is just the latest in a string of
:08:33. > :08:35.wage demands in recent months. Rubbish collectors in Rio, bus
:08:36. > :08:40.drivers and teachers in Sao Paulo, they have all been pushing for
:08:41. > :08:45.higher pay, as inflation pushes 6% per year. Even police walked off the
:08:46. > :08:51.job in the North East Brazil which led to looting a few weeks ago. The
:08:52. > :08:55.truth is that the Government has got to give in. In the very short-term
:08:56. > :08:59.at least it has got to give in. After the World Cup, the conditions
:09:00. > :09:03.for the negotiations change but they are not automatically resolved,
:09:04. > :09:07.because after the World Cup there is another important agenda the
:09:08. > :09:11.elections. So these wage demands will not go away any time soon but
:09:12. > :09:15.the more pressing concern is sorting out transport in the city, with
:09:16. > :09:18.train lines that take fans to the stadium still remaining shut. The
:09:19. > :09:28.pressure is growing on the Government. And we will be taking a
:09:29. > :09:33.look at some of those fans on a lighter note later on.
:09:34. > :09:37.China has accused Vietnamese ships of ramming its vessels more than
:09:38. > :09:40.1400 times in disputed waters in the South China Sea. The Foreign
:09:41. > :09:45.Ministry in Beijing says the clashes happened near the site of a Chinese
:09:46. > :09:55.oil and gas drilling operation. It says Vietnam's also deployed divers
:09:56. > :10:01.to scatter objects in the water. Vietnam has accused China of ramming
:10:02. > :10:06.its own vessels. I asked our correspondent in Beijing with a 1400
:10:07. > :10:11.incidents is seen as a high number. Absolutely. China has pointed to an
:10:12. > :10:16.incident that took place on June the 7th, when 63 Vietnamese vessels went
:10:17. > :10:20.into an area where Chinese ships seemed to be defending this Chinese
:10:21. > :10:24.oil rig. They are using this incident to show that it is not just
:10:25. > :10:28.Chinese ships that have been accused of aggression in this territory in
:10:29. > :10:34.the past towards Vietnamese ships. China is trying to put forward the
:10:35. > :10:37.notion that Vietnam has also been aggressive towards China in these
:10:38. > :10:44.disputed territorial waters. That is interesting, isn't it? We have heard
:10:45. > :10:51.from China's neighbours that they have been aggressive. Does this show
:10:52. > :10:55.have bitter and acrimonious the neighbourly disputes are becoming?
:10:56. > :11:01.Absolutely. The ties between these countries have dipped to their
:11:02. > :11:05.lowest levels in years. The dragging of a Chinese oil rig into these
:11:06. > :11:12.territorial waters that are claimed by many countries, not just China
:11:13. > :11:16.and Vietnam, as well. China is trying to respond, brush up its
:11:17. > :11:21.image in response to a video that was released by Vietnam last week,
:11:22. > :11:25.showing a large Chinese ship chasing a very small Vietnamese fishing
:11:26. > :11:32.boat. The Chinese ship them round the Vietnamese fishing boat and the
:11:33. > :11:37.fishing boat sank. -- rammed the Vietnamese. China is trying to show
:11:38. > :11:42.that Vietnam has also been aggressive and has rammed their
:11:43. > :11:47.ships. They are trying to tip public opinion back into China's favour
:11:48. > :11:54.again. Thank you. Still to come, plenty more including
:11:55. > :11:57.this: How life has changed for the Indian businessman in huge demand
:11:58. > :12:06.because it looks like the country's new Prime Minister Narendra Modi. --
:12:07. > :12:10.he looks like. The Prime Minister of Kosovo Hashim Thaci has claimed a
:12:11. > :12:13.victory for his democratic party in the territory's second general
:12:14. > :12:22.election since it broke away from Serbia six years ago.
:12:23. > :12:28.Celebrating an election victory. The opposition has yet to concede defeat
:12:29. > :12:35.but Kosovo's ruling party won national elections by a narrow
:12:36. > :12:39.margin. At the heart of voters' minds was the economy. About two
:12:40. > :12:47.thirds of young people are jobless and nearly half of its population is
:12:48. > :12:54.considered to be poor. This was the moment when Europe's youngest nation
:12:55. > :12:59.was born. Kosovo unilaterally declared independence from Serbia in
:13:00. > :13:02.2008. Serbia still does not recognise it, but for the first
:13:03. > :13:08.time, ethnic Serbs were encouraged to vote. After Soon Kosovo
:13:09. > :13:16.celebrated its fifth anniversary as an independent nation, the two
:13:17. > :13:20.countries tried to normalise their relations as they tried to become
:13:21. > :13:23.members of the European Union. But Kosovo remains divided and voter
:13:24. > :13:31.turnout was especially low in majority Serbian areas.
:13:32. > :13:35.Two policemen have been shot dead in Las Vegas by a couple who then
:13:36. > :13:39.killed another person before turning the gun on themselves. It began when
:13:40. > :13:42.the police officers were eating lunch in a pizza restaurant. The
:13:43. > :13:46.suspects, a man and woman, killed them and then fled to a nearby
:13:47. > :13:50.supermarket where they shot a bystander. Police say the couple
:13:51. > :13:59.killed themselves after an exchange of fire. Egypt's new President has
:14:00. > :14:06.promised to a strong, safe and just society. Mohamed Abdallah CC was
:14:07. > :14:12.sworn into power -- President Sisi was sworn into power after deposing
:14:13. > :14:19.Mohamed Morsi. The headlines: The Pakistani Taliban
:14:20. > :14:24.said it carried out an attack at Karachi airport in which at least 28
:14:25. > :14:29.people died including ten militants. Striking Metro workers in Brazil are
:14:30. > :14:34.being warned they will be sacked if they do not return to work. Riot
:14:35. > :14:38.police in Sao Paulo have fired tear gas at protesters demanding pay
:14:39. > :14:44.rises for the workers. After last month's military coup,
:14:45. > :14:52.the authorities in Thailand have suppressed any resistance to their
:14:53. > :14:55.rule. Former leaders and the redshirt organisation have promised
:14:56. > :14:59.to abandon political activity. But what about the thousands of ordinary
:15:00. > :15:09.wretched followers in the Government strongholds of North and East in
:15:10. > :15:15.Thailand? -- redshirt followers. In the farm lands of the north-east in
:15:16. > :15:20.Thailand, Red Shirt loyalists like that man has been caughtoff guard by
:15:21. > :15:21.the military takeover. His life has become entwined with their cause. He
:15:22. > :15:24.met his wife at their rallies. become entwined with their cause. He
:15:25. > :15:28.met his wife at their rallies. For all the talk of fighting back, now
:15:29. > :15:38.the coup has happened he's unsure what to do. TRANSLATION: For now, we
:15:39. > :15:43.are just waiting to watch what they do. We are not afraid of them, but
:15:44. > :15:47.the soldiers do have weapons. Still, there are more of us here in the
:15:48. > :15:58.north-east than they have in the Army. The military is deeping a
:15:59. > :16:01.close watch on the Red Shirts here. It has raided their homes and
:16:02. > :16:10.questioned their leaders. So far, that's been enough to stop any real
:16:11. > :16:14.resistance. This woman used to run one of the hundreds of local radio
:16:15. > :16:18.stations that mobilised support for the Red Shirt Movement. Since the
:16:19. > :16:23.coup, she's been in hiding, moving from house to house, afraid she will
:16:24. > :16:28.be detained. Do most people accept this, they have to stop all their
:16:29. > :16:31.Red Shirt activities? They have to stop it, because there's a
:16:32. > :16:38.gunpointing to you your head. What can you do? We have to stop. We have
:16:39. > :16:46.to. But we don't want to. In village after village, we saw almost no
:16:47. > :16:51.signs of opposition. I came to this place six months ago and back then
:16:52. > :16:54.it had declared itself to be a red village and most homes were proudly
:16:55. > :16:58.displaying proeSsters, proclaiming their loyalty to the Government and
:16:59. > :17:03.the party's founder, Thaksin Shinawatra. But today, like much of
:17:04. > :17:12.the region, it is fearful and silent. Back then, this lady and her
:17:13. > :17:17.neighbours were happy to show their affection for the man they say
:17:18. > :17:22.transformed their lives. I love you! Not any more. The prize poster of
:17:23. > :17:30.Thaksin Shinawatra stays hidden indoors. TRANSLATION: I can't eat. I
:17:31. > :17:36.can't sleep. It's torturing me, this situation. I can't accept it. I
:17:37. > :17:45.would love to speak out. But I can't. If I speak out, I'll have to
:17:46. > :17:50.leave the country. In the end, the predicted uprising against the coup
:17:51. > :17:56.didn't happen here. But they haven't given up. In their little hut, out
:17:57. > :17:59.in the rice fields, they still believe in the democracy they
:18:00. > :18:06.thought they were fighting for and the better life they hoped it would
:18:07. > :18:12.bring. Now, news about India in the wake of
:18:13. > :18:15.the recent elections there. Many are glad that Narendra Modi is the new
:18:16. > :18:24.Prime Minister, but we went to meet one man who has a very personal
:18:25. > :18:29.reason to celebrate. Check it out. It was victory for some of them even
:18:30. > :18:37.before the votes were counted. People who looked like famous
:18:38. > :18:40.politicians were in demand. While others are looking for fresh work,
:18:41. > :18:44.for others it has become easier. Especially if you happen to
:18:45. > :18:52.resellble the new Prime Minister, Narendra Modi. 60 kilometres away
:18:53. > :18:58.from the financial capital, this man is busy in his factory. He has spent
:18:59. > :19:02.his whole adult life looking after the family business, but over the
:19:03. > :19:07.past two months he didn't visit the factory even once. Instead, she was
:19:08. > :19:11.busy on the campaign trail. His resemblance to Narendra Modi meant
:19:12. > :19:20.he was a popular attraction. Though, he says, he didn't change a single
:19:21. > :19:27.rupy. -- rup pee -- rupee? TRANSLATION: Most of them thought I
:19:28. > :19:32.was Narendra Modi and after that many called me to campaign. Many
:19:33. > :19:35.people are not ready to believe I'm not really the real Narendra Modi.
:19:36. > :19:40.He says he feels like a celebrity now. Had he goes out, people want to
:19:41. > :19:44.take photographs with him and some even ask for his autograph. And
:19:45. > :19:54.having got a taste of politics, he's now thinking of going into the real
:19:55. > :19:59.thing. TRANSLATION: If I get a chance to go into the elections and
:20:00. > :20:03.win I think I can do a good job. I think there's nothing wrong to be
:20:04. > :20:11.ambitious, so if I'm given an opportunity, then I'll surely take
:20:12. > :20:16.it. For now, he's back getting on with the nuts and bolts of running
:20:17. > :20:21.his business. But even though his new-found fame is for how he looks
:20:22. > :20:29.rather than what he does, it's certainly appears life will never
:20:30. > :20:34.quite be the same. Now, they call it the city of romance, but the path of
:20:35. > :20:39.true love is not running smoothly in Paris. Part of the famous pont
:20:40. > :20:43.December art bridge collapsed under the growing number of love locks
:20:44. > :20:53.that have been attached to it. Millions of couples business iT --
:20:54. > :21:03.visit Paris. They attach a lock that pairs their names to the railing of
:21:04. > :21:09.the Pont Des Arts has been a symbol of ever-lasting love. The entire
:21:10. > :21:14.length is covered in patlocks. On Sunday, nearly 2.5 metres of
:21:15. > :21:18.railings collapsed under the weight of the sew-called locks of love. The
:21:19. > :21:24.bridge was closed down so experts could remove the damaged railings
:21:25. > :21:30.and hundreds of pad locks. TRANSLATION: I don't want to
:21:31. > :21:34.stigmatise the loves of the capital and of this fashion, but if quay
:21:35. > :21:38.don't do anything about it, problems will keep happening. This is not the
:21:39. > :21:44.first time part of the bridge has collapsed. One part gave way last
:21:45. > :21:48.summer too. Critics say the padlocks are a threat to the dozens of barges
:21:49. > :21:55.and boats that transport tourists and resident up and down the sane
:21:56. > :21:59.every day and they are -- the Seine and they are calling for all of the
:22:00. > :22:04.padlocks to be removed. It seems the lovers may have a fight on their
:22:05. > :22:12.hands, but then the course of true love never did run smooth.
:22:13. > :22:18.Now to gridlocks in London, because drivers of the black taxies are
:22:19. > :22:26.planning to jam the city to protest against the increasingly popular car
:22:27. > :22:30.service Uber. They can call a cab through their smartphones. The
:22:31. > :22:35.cabbies say it should be regulated. We wonder why they've been given a
:22:36. > :22:42.clear run really. What they are doing is bringing the cab industry
:22:43. > :22:46.into the 21st century. It's an industry that hasn't overhauled the
:22:47. > :22:53.way it thinks or operates for many, many decades. That benefit is being
:22:54. > :22:57.felt by the drivers and customers of Uber.
:22:58. > :23:06.We have a problem with Uber, the fact they've come into London and
:23:07. > :23:12.have conthrough TfL and licenced. They use a system with an iPhone.
:23:13. > :23:17.The app works in such a way as soon as you book the job you can track
:23:18. > :23:21.the car in real time on the map. The law states quite clearly that my
