:01:04. > :01:07.Mpeketoni began shortly after evening prayers, and lasted several
:01:08. > :01:09.hours. The gunmen, thought to be from the Somali militant group
:01:10. > :01:13.al-Shabaab, set fire to several hotels where local people had
:01:14. > :01:16.gathered to watch World Cup football. They also targeted a
:01:17. > :01:21.police station and a bank. It comes just days after the UK Government

:01:32. > :01:34.Rescue teams are still searching the buildings, and officials say

:01:45. > :01:55.So far the numbers of bodies collected on the streets, there are
:01:56. > :02:08.still some more bodies still on the streets. We are not able to identify
:02:09. > :02:12.the casualties. Some of the images have been
:02:13. > :02:27.described as looking like a war zone. These are graphic pictures.
:02:28. > :02:32.Military chapters are collecting bodies on the streets. The building
:02:33. > :02:37.is set ablaze, the police station as well, so much is happening right
:02:38. > :02:42.now. Rescue teams are there, tried to assess the situation, counting
:02:43. > :02:48.the number of houses that were burnt, the number of vehicles, the
:02:49. > :02:52.people who have disappeared. Hot by numbers have been issued for those
:02:53. > :02:56.who have lost their family members, to make a report. When the attack
:02:57. > :03:02.happened, so many people escaped and went into the forest to hide. Many
:03:03. > :03:05.are still unaccounted for as we speak. The Government is yet to
:03:06. > :03:17.issue a press briefing on the situation. The Government says it is
:03:18. > :03:21.Al-Shabab. The other theory is this could be a councillor attacked the
:03:22. > :03:26.people and set ablaze the buildings over a long dispute. Mpeketoni is
:03:27. > :03:32.not a tourist destination, Lamu is. The motive of this attack is what is
:03:33. > :03:40.being investigated. When you say gang, what would the
:03:41. > :03:44.motive? There are groups in the coastal
:03:45. > :03:51.parts of Kenny of which have agitated to secede from the rest of
:03:52. > :03:56.the country. Could this be a re-emergence of these groups?
:03:57. > :04:12.Mpeketoni is not a tourist attraction. It is for commercial
:04:13. > :04:20.farming, hotels only attract locals. There has been a battle over land
:04:21. > :04:26.and resources. Could this be the same group reclaiming their land?
:04:27. > :04:30.The scale of this attack is being questioned. Al-Shabab are not
:04:31. > :04:37.normally known to spare women and children. In this case, 47 of those
:04:38. > :04:40.killed were then and only one woman, although the Red Cross is saying all
:04:41. > :04:46.of them were men. The houses that were attacked, people were told to
:04:47. > :04:53.come out before they were torched. This is not the Al-Shabab kind of
:04:54. > :05:01.attack. Al-Shabab are not known to come into the that. The motive is
:05:02. > :05:04.being questioned right now. And who this gang is? Al-Shabab has not
:05:05. > :05:06.claimed responsibility, nor have they denied it.

:08:27. > :08:31.I don't think the West backed any Government really. They have given

:08:36. > :08:41.out to be a small rebel movement but which has been eclipsed by the more
:08:42. > :08:46.violent rebel movement closer to the Al-Qaeda thinking. It has become
:08:47. > :08:53.complicated. The dilemma for President Barack Obama and the West
:08:54. > :08:58.is deciding whether or not to lend air support to the Government. This
:08:59. > :09:03.is a huge turning point. When the history of this comes to be written,

:10:22. > :10:26.East, this will be seen as the US taking the side of a Shi'ite
:10:27. > :10:39.Government against Sunni militants. It puts America on the same side as
:10:40. > :10:42.Iran. So, it is very complicate it. You have Saudi and Qatar, does the
:10:43. > :10:51.US not have leverage over those countries?
:10:52. > :10:55.Again, it is complicated. The headquarters of all US air

:11:01. > :11:05.they will want to control it from Qatar and Qatar will have something
:11:06. > :11:10.to say. In terms of Saudi, the operation to raise a rebel army to
:11:11. > :11:17.fight President Assad has been an unmitigated failure. A certain
:11:18. > :11:22.prince was supposed to be in charge, but they did not deliver. The Saudi
:11:23. > :11:27.support for rebels in Syria has been in disarray. One reason why ISIS has
:11:28. > :11:34.grown to be so powerful. Getting money from private donors and

:14:12. > :14:14.Michael Schumacher is no longer in a coma and has left hospital
:14:15. > :14:18.in the French town of Grenoble. Schumacher has been in hospital
:14:19. > :14:30.since a skiing accident in December. We have been following developments.
:14:31. > :14:36.The AFP news agency is saying he has been admitted by University Hospital
:14:37. > :14:40.of Lausanne today. Moving from one hospital to another. You were there
:14:41. > :14:44.at the time. What happened? It is six months
:14:45. > :14:51.since the accident. He hit his head on a rock while at skiing with his
:14:52. > :14:56.son. In between Christmas and New Year. He needed to operations on his
:14:57. > :15:02.brain to reduce the swelling. Doctors put him into a medically
:15:03. > :15:06.induced coma to reduce the swelling and aid recovery. In April, we had
:15:07. > :15:11.from his manager doctors had started to try to bring him out that coma.
:15:12. > :15:16.He was having moments of consciousness. Now we know he is no
:15:17. > :15:21.longer in a coma. But we do not know and we should be cautious, we do not
:15:22. > :15:32.know how mobile he is, whether he is talking, the extent of his injuries.
:15:33. > :15:35.A crucial step in his recovery and his family say they want the next
:15:36. > :15:37.phase of his rehabilitation to take place in private. There has been a
:15:38. > :15:40.little bit of reaction. That statement from his manager
:15:41. > :15:46.where his family thanked the nurses and doctors for the treatment he
:15:47. > :15:50.received. And his fans, the messages of support they had had since the
:15:51. > :15:56.accident had been helping. I have spoken to Ferrari, the team he
:15:57. > :16:00.received most of his success with. Their communication said they were
:16:01. > :16:02.overwhelmed with joy and there wasn't a day since the accident when
:16:03. > :16:16.they haven't thought of him. the British throw-in steps out in

:16:40. > :16:43.the now banned Muslim brotherhood organisation and defaming Egypt.
:16:44. > :16:46.They deny the charges. The case has been condemned by rights groups and
:16:47. > :16:49.media around the world. A man who has been stuck in a cave
:16:50. > :16:52.underneath the mountains between Germany and Austria 48 days is
:16:53. > :16:57.reported to be in a stable condition at the operation to bring him back
:16:58. > :17:01.to the service continues. He was with two other men when he was
:17:02. > :17:02.injured. It took 12 hours for one of them to reach the surface and
:17:03. > :17:10.injured. It took 12 hours for one call for help.
:17:11. > :17:15.For more than a week, rescuers have been working around the clock to
:17:16. > :17:19.reach Johann. He was injured by falling rock when he was exploring
:17:20. > :17:23.the complex system of caves underneath these mountains. It is
:17:24. > :17:28.dangerous to rain. From the surface, there is a sheer drop of some 300
:17:29. > :17:32.metres in places. Climbers have to be lowered down on ropes in stages.
:17:33. > :17:39.Then, at about 1000 metres below the surface, the caves stretch out
:17:40. > :17:43.horizontally. That is where the injured climber is, which is why it
:17:44. > :17:49.has taken such a long time to reach him. But now comes the hardest part.
:17:50. > :17:52.TRANSLATION: This is a very steep and sometimes angled descent. The
:17:53. > :17:56.cave goes 1000 metres down, and we are forced to keep the patient
:17:57. > :18:01.vertical a lot of the time. Around 100 emergency workers have been
:18:02. > :18:05.involved in the rescue effort, and they have set up a medical and
:18:06. > :18:08.communications centre half way between the surface and the cave the
:18:09. > :18:13.injured climber is in. It is likely to take a few days to get him out,

:19:33. > :19:37.result of the unwillingness of the Ukrainian government to strike a
:19:38. > :19:41.deal. Obviously, the Ukrainian government has a different position.
:19:42. > :19:44.It says Russia tried to blackmail it into the higher price. The European
:19:45. > :19:50.Union was involved in mediation, and failed. Basically, it is the third

:19:54. > :19:58.tensions between Ukraine and Russia. That climate does not help the
:19:59. > :20:01.resolution of this issue. We understand that the supplies will
:20:02. > :20:05.continue into Western Europe, because they come through Ukraine,
:20:06. > :20:09.don't they? That is the theory. The trouble is, this is the same
:20:10. > :20:14.pipeline. It is like getting water at home, and your water company
:20:15. > :20:17.saying your water is cut off. But part of the same stream of water
:20:18. > :20:21.through your pipeline goes to your neighbours. It is difficult to do it
:20:22. > :20:26.technically. The other thing that is very difficult is to see how Europe
:20:27. > :20:31.will not be affected, because a lot of the gas that Europe uses in
:20:32. > :20:37.winter is pumped from the storage facilities which are in Ukraine. Now
:20:38. > :20:42.the level of the stored gas is about 40% of what it should be at this
:20:43. > :20:45.time of year. If gas from has cut off supplies to Ukraine now, Ukraine
:20:46. > :20:56.will have to tap into those reserves to ensure zone since consumers are

:21:02. > :21:05.It has been said that Ukraine is safe until September. From then on,

:21:14. > :21:17.be fast and whoever is the guilty party will have to re-coop their
:21:18. > :21:22.losses. Really? It will go through court rather than diplomacy? Do we
:21:23. > :21:27.know how much higher the bill is from Russia? Well, if you count the
:21:28. > :21:34.Russian calculation of the bill, this is an enormous bill. Between $2
:21:35. > :21:38.billion and $4 billion, depending on which calculation you look at. If
:21:39. > :21:43.you look at the Ukrainian bill against Russia, it is about six
