:00:07. > :00:13.going to be. On Saturday and Sunday it is more of the same. You hello.
:00:14. > :00:18.Our main headline... Spain's new king says he has great hope for the
:00:19. > :00:24.country's future, as he is sworn in as head of state. Taliban insurgents
:00:25. > :00:33.have launched an attack on a NATO supply base. Fighting continues in
:00:34. > :00:35.Iraq, and Barack Obama tells US congressional leaders he does not
:00:36. > :01:02.need their approval to take the literary action.
:01:03. > :01:08.Welcome to the programme. Spain is entering a new era, with King Felipe
:01:09. > :01:13.VI and his young family being warmly applauded at a swearing-in ceremony
:01:14. > :01:22.in Madrid. These are the live pictures coming to us now. Huge
:01:23. > :01:30.numbers of people are gathering outside the palace. The king and
:01:31. > :01:38.queen will be appearing on the royal balcony, joined, we expect, by the
:01:39. > :01:43.former king, Juan Carlos. These were the images that we had in the last
:01:44. > :01:49.couple of hours. He is the first new king of Spain in nearly 40 years. In
:01:50. > :01:53.his inauguration speech, he spoke of a country which must ensure unity
:01:54. > :01:57.and diversity. You promised to work for the less well off in Spanish
:01:58. > :02:04.society at a time of economic hardship.
:02:05. > :02:06.TRANSLATION: I would like to express my solidarity with all of our
:02:07. > :02:17.citizens who have been hard-hit by economic crisis. We must make sure
:02:18. > :02:21.that we work hard to overcome this situation and offer the necessary
:02:22. > :02:26.protection to those people who are most vulnerable in society. We also
:02:27. > :02:33.have a duty to send out a message of hope, especially to those of us in
:02:34. > :02:37.society who are the young generation but are looking for work. Today I
:02:38. > :02:45.would like us to look forwards to the future. To a new Spain, which we
:02:46. > :02:59.need to continue to build together, as we begin this new day. Live
:03:00. > :03:01.images in Madrid. And the crowds are gathered in the Spanish sunshine.
:03:02. > :03:09.There has been a procession through the streets of Madrid, following
:03:10. > :03:15.that speech. His queen is a former television journalist, and they are
:03:16. > :03:25.seen as a popular, photogenic young couple, with two young daughters
:03:26. > :03:36.have. We are waiting for the new king to appear before the crowd.
:03:37. > :03:45.With me is a teaching fellow in Spanish and European studies here at
:03:46. > :03:49.Kings in London. How big a day is it? Here's a constitutional monarch,
:03:50. > :03:55.although he does have some political influence, doesn't he wanted she
:03:56. > :04:03.does. It is an important day for the Spanish people, I think. I think he
:04:04. > :04:06.will not be as big as had been expected, as an institution, but it
:04:07. > :04:14.is still an important day of change. It is an important day to
:04:15. > :04:31.revitalise the institutions. What did you make of the speech? I've
:04:32. > :04:36.think the message is, we understand the pain the people are going
:04:37. > :04:40.through, we understand the situation, and we want to be part of
:04:41. > :04:45.the leadership, but we do not want to be a hierarchical leadership.
:04:46. > :04:52.Obviously, that is the message that you would expect in these times of
:04:53. > :04:57.austerity. But obviously, it is going to be very, very hard to back
:04:58. > :05:02.it up with real action. Despite the influence of the King may have, I am
:05:03. > :05:07.afraid the situation is not improving quickly, and if it does
:05:08. > :05:11.not, the monarchy will continue to suffer, as do the rest of the
:05:12. > :05:15.Spanish situations, from the declining situation in Spain. There
:05:16. > :05:19.is still a substantial number of people who want a referendum on
:05:20. > :05:25.having a republic, and there is also a big separatist movement? There is
:05:26. > :05:30.a big movement, growing support, towards the Republican option. A
:05:31. > :05:34.referendum I do not think is likely at this stage, because we have to
:05:35. > :05:45.understand there are different kinds of Republicans as well. Some of the
:05:46. > :05:52.more Pramac Matic -- pragmatic ones understand that the whole
:05:53. > :05:58.constitution would have to change. It is not straightforward. So, the
:05:59. > :06:03.option of a referendum is Rob Lee something which might have do happen
:06:04. > :06:07.down the line. -- probably. We can see lots of Spanish flags, but if
:06:08. > :06:13.you are a Republican, and you want to wave a flag for that cause, you
:06:14. > :06:16.are not allowed to do that today? Yes, you are not allowed to display
:06:17. > :06:28.any republican symbols, certainly not in. Did -- certainly not in
:06:29. > :06:36.Madrid. These things were banned at the last minute. Has that been
:06:37. > :06:40.excepted? It has been tolerated, I would say, more than excepted. There
:06:41. > :06:44.is a big police presence all over Madrid. If you were to attempt to
:06:45. > :06:50.wave a Republican flag, you would be in trouble. But in Barcelona, for
:06:51. > :06:59.example, there has been a big march in favour of a Republic of
:07:00. > :07:01.Catalunya. So, it has been accepted and tolerated but there are
:07:02. > :07:09.certainly concerns about those kind of measures. In Madrid for us is
:07:10. > :07:18.Pascale Harter, outside the palace. It has filled up, hasn't it? That's
:07:19. > :07:22.right. Despite the absolutely baking heat, people have turned up now that
:07:23. > :07:28.there are King has arrived and they are waiting for the new king, Felipe
:07:29. > :07:50.VI and his wife to show themselves on the balcony behind, to be
:07:51. > :07:52.greeted. What is the mood? It is interesting, because even amongst
:07:53. > :07:57.the people who have turned out here today, there is a sense that this is
:07:58. > :08:01.a nice day, but it does not change anything. People appreciated the
:08:02. > :08:08.speech that the king made, talking about becoming a reference point for
:08:09. > :08:11.ethics in the country, in the light of the recent corruption scandals,
:08:12. > :08:17.but people told me it does not change anything, because he does not
:08:18. > :08:20.govern Spain. The problems of corruption and the economic crisis,
:08:21. > :08:28.high unemployment, will not go away simply because there is a new king.
:08:29. > :08:33.But people did appreciate the sentiment, finding the speech very
:08:34. > :08:36.inclusive. I am not sure whether he mentioned the football result, maybe
:08:37. > :08:42.he did not dare, but who is he as a man, is he is somebody that people
:08:43. > :08:49.will identify with and support? Indeed. Excuse me, it he is a man
:08:50. > :08:54.who is probably much better suited to this new era of austerity in
:08:55. > :09:09.Spain. His father Juan Carlos was very much appreciated, but he was a
:09:10. > :09:14.bon viveur, and the kind of expenses which were tolerated in the past are
:09:15. > :09:20.not any more. This is what seems to be at the heart of desire a change
:09:21. > :09:22.in the monarchy. 62% of the population have said that they would
:09:23. > :09:28.like referendum on whether Spain should be a republic. King Felipe is
:09:29. > :09:34.a very serious man, much more accustomed to being photographed
:09:35. > :09:38.rubbing his two daughters off at school. He has married a commoner, a
:09:39. > :09:43.woman who was divorced before marrying him. Someone who travels on
:09:44. > :09:47.the Metro, got a mortgage for her first home in Spain. That has won
:09:48. > :09:51.him points with the Spanish people, who feel that he will take his
:09:52. > :09:58.duties very seriously. He says he has been studying for this moment,
:09:59. > :10:07.to be a servant of the people. In terms of the history of the
:10:08. > :10:14.monarchy, as an institution, we have all learned about them at school,
:10:15. > :10:17.they go back generations? Indeed. It is a bit difficult to hear you
:10:18. > :10:21.because of the crowds and the helicopter and the bells in the
:10:22. > :10:26.background. I think you were asking about the history of the monarchy. A
:10:27. > :10:32.sickly, it was the count of Barcelona who gave power to his son
:10:33. > :10:37.Juan Carlos nearly four decades ago, saying that he realised he was the
:10:38. > :10:43.new king, ushering in a new era. There is a sense, echoed in King
:10:44. > :10:58.Felipe's speech today, that he may have done a good job. He has
:10:59. > :11:03.safeguarded democracy, most notably, as you mentioned earlier, he stood
:11:04. > :11:09.against the 1981 attempted coup in Congress by the Civil Guard, and
:11:10. > :11:13.stood up for the fledgling democracy. He played a difficult
:11:14. > :11:18.role in negotiating with people who still supported the late Dick Haytor
:11:19. > :11:25.Franco, and wanted a continuation of that concentrated power. The idea
:11:26. > :11:33.today is that a new king is in control, and he will respect the
:11:34. > :11:39.separation of powers. Spaniards here think that is great news, but it is
:11:40. > :11:43.not going to change daily lives. What about the international appeal
:11:44. > :11:51.of this Royal Family? We can see the king, we can see them emerging on
:11:52. > :11:52.the balcony. King Felipe VI and his queen, the new reigning monarch in
:11:53. > :12:24.Spain. And the King, joined by his two
:12:25. > :12:28.daughters, the image of a royal, can temporary family, a young, very
:12:29. > :12:32.photogenic family. The Queen, a former television news presenter,
:12:33. > :12:42.seen as someone who can perhaps relate to people a bit more, and
:12:43. > :13:00.their two young daughters. The eldest will become the next heir.
:13:01. > :13:20.Just tell us what it is like to BYU are, Pascale Harter. -- to be where
:13:21. > :13:28.you are. I can only hear you very vaguely. Just tell us what it is
:13:29. > :13:32.like where you are. I am not sure what you are asking me, but it is
:13:33. > :13:37.safe to say that there is an enormous amount of excitement here.
:13:38. > :13:48.The Queen was formerly a famous news anchor, and she is very popular
:13:49. > :13:57.here. The show of family solidarity, a message to say that they are a
:13:58. > :14:00.family. Wanting to underline that they understand the plight of
:14:01. > :14:05.ordinary Spaniards, who are suffering today with the economic
:14:06. > :14:14.crisis. Many have had their homes repossessed and lost their jobs. And
:14:15. > :14:20.he is wearing the military uniform, symbolising the fact that he is the
:14:21. > :14:31.head of the Spanish military. He does have a constitutional role, and
:14:32. > :14:37.some political influence also. The former King has stepped back a
:14:38. > :14:40.little bit from the ceremony. He was not present at the speech. He wanted
:14:41. > :14:56.to give his son as much prominence as possible. These images the family
:14:57. > :15:06.will hope will be beamed across the world, hoping to win support at home
:15:07. > :15:07.and abroad, no doubt. You can hear the chants of supporters down in the
:15:08. > :15:25.street. studied international relations, he
:15:26. > :15:31.was in the Spanish Olympic yachting team. I wonder if he was troubled by
:15:32. > :15:44.the football performance last night? We will leave those images in Madrid
:15:45. > :15:53.with a new monarch at the head of the throne in Spain.
:15:54. > :15:59.We are going to bring you some news from another part of the world, from
:16:00. > :16:02.Afghanistan. We have been learning that Taliban insurgents have
:16:03. > :16:08.launched an attack on a NATO supply base and have destroyed 37
:16:09. > :16:14.vehicles. Three suicide attackers attacked the base in the border town
:16:15. > :16:18.of Torkham in the province of Ningarhar. There are reports of two
:16:19. > :16:29.Afghan drivers have been injured. With me is someone from our Afghan
:16:30. > :16:38.service. There are no casualties on the side of NATO or Afghan forces.
:16:39. > :16:51.Two rebels were killed, one blew himself up. They destroyed 37
:16:52. > :16:57.trucks. But the most important thing is the attack on this place. It is
:16:58. > :17:01.on the border with Pakistan and is an important place and is protected
:17:02. > :17:09.heavily by Afghan forces and also by NATO. This is the parking lot of
:17:10. > :17:16.NATO. It is alarming the militants can access this. Do we know which
:17:17. > :17:20.group are responsible? The Taliban have claimed responsibility. They
:17:21. > :17:26.will have planned this attack for a long time. It is just on the border
:17:27. > :17:36.as I said. We know that attacks on NATO convoys have been ongoing in
:17:37. > :17:40.Pakistan and Afghanistan. Not only by the Afghan Taliban, but the
:17:41. > :17:45.Pakistani Taliban. Hundreds of trucks have been destroyed. But this
:17:46. > :17:52.time it is more important because it is situated in a very sensitive
:17:53. > :17:57.place, the border crossing. We are going to go live to Kabul because
:17:58. > :18:01.our correspondence is there. We have just been hearing this is a very
:18:02. > :18:08.sensitive area. Is it surprising the militants have managed to attack
:18:09. > :18:14.it? Not really. The Taliban insurgents have been attacking NATO
:18:15. > :18:18.fuel tankers and other supplies in this area. A number of attacks have
:18:19. > :18:26.been launched in the last year or so and usually the insurgents try to
:18:27. > :18:32.attach what they call magnetic bombs in background airbase, a much more
:18:33. > :18:38.secure area closer to Kabul. The insurgents have been able to smuggle
:18:39. > :18:42.these magnetic bombs and they have resulted in the burning of these
:18:43. > :18:47.trucks. What is interesting in the case of Torkham is there has been
:18:48. > :18:50.more security by the Afghan Government and by NATO and it
:18:51. > :18:57.appears the insurgents were able to infiltrate and penetrate it. Let's
:18:58. > :19:03.talk about the impact of that. The Torkham highway which connects the
:19:04. > :19:09.country to Pakistan was closed. Hundreds of trucks and passenger
:19:10. > :19:13.vehicles were stuck there. It shatters the confidence of ordinary
:19:14. > :19:16.people, especially when they see the ability of insurgents who are able
:19:17. > :19:25.to attack the highly protected areas. The painstaking rescue of a
:19:26. > :19:29.man trapped for 11 days in Germany's deepest cave has come to
:19:30. > :19:34.an end. Johann Westhauser suffered head injuries from falling rocks
:19:35. > :19:39.nearly one kilometre below ground in the Alps. We have heard in the last
:19:40. > :19:46.few moments he has been rescued and has been winched up very slowly
:19:47. > :19:50.through the complex cave system. We can speak to someone at the rescue
:19:51. > :19:59.site. How did they eventually get him out? It was an unbelievable
:20:00. > :20:06.operation. It took 11 days and especially the last section of this
:20:07. > :20:13.ordeal was very hard. You have to imagine that vertical chamber in
:20:14. > :20:21.this cave of about 200 metres high. It is a very narrow chamber that had
:20:22. > :20:30.to get through in very wet conditions. They had to be very slow
:20:31. > :20:35.because Johann Westhauser suffered a craniosacral injury, basically what
:20:36. > :20:40.Michael Schumacher had, so they had to be very careful with him. They
:20:41. > :20:48.could not transport him vertically, they had to be very gentle with him
:20:49. > :20:55.and it took a long time. Exactly at 11 .4 for today there was huge
:20:56. > :21:04.jubilation and a scream down here when the organisation team knew that
:21:05. > :21:11.he had been taken out. It must have been a tense situation. Where is he
:21:12. > :21:18.now? He is still up in the mountain. He is being treated because he has
:21:19. > :21:23.suffered major injuries. But he is conscious, which is very important.
:21:24. > :21:35.He is now being treated and he is going to fly in a helicopter to a
:21:36. > :21:40.hospital nearby. Many thanks indeed. The US is urging politicians in Iraq
:21:41. > :21:44.to unite against the threat posed by Sunni militants who had seized key
:21:45. > :21:48.towns in the north. The Iraqi Government, whose forces are
:21:49. > :21:54.fighting insurgents for control of the biggest oil refinery at Baiji,
:21:55. > :21:58.has appealed for US air strikes. President Obama has told Congress he
:21:59. > :22:02.does not need their approval to take military action.
:22:03. > :22:06.The pressure of people fleeing the latest fighting in Iraq and being
:22:07. > :22:10.forced into temporary camps continues to grow. It is adding to
:22:11. > :22:14.the international alarm over the fallout from the Sunni insurgency
:22:15. > :22:17.that swept through swathes of northern and western Iraq and
:22:18. > :22:23.threatened a bloody fracturing of the country. We are having a
:22:24. > :22:28.narrative where people fear reprisals from ethnic divides
:22:29. > :22:35.anti-violence which is mounting in the country. That is in Baghdad as
:22:36. > :22:40.well. We are concerned for people and we are protecting them.
:22:41. > :22:46.Militants apparently parading the spoils of their successes, capturing
:22:47. > :22:49.Iraqi military vehicles in the town of Baiji. But there is still a war
:22:50. > :22:56.of words between them and the Government over who controls the
:22:57. > :23:00.largest oil refinery in the country as the remaining staff were
:23:01. > :23:04.reportedly evacuated from the complex. In Washington President
:23:05. > :23:07.Obama consulted congressional leaders on his options. He
:23:08. > :23:12.reportedly told them he does not need their approval for action, but
:23:13. > :23:17.he appears to be reluctant to launch the air strikes the Iraqi Government
:23:18. > :23:23.has asked for. Plenty of activity on the flight deck of the aircraft
:23:24. > :23:27.carrier USS George W Bush in the Gulf, but US commanders are said to
:23:28. > :23:31.be uncertain what their targets would be and Washington's focus
:23:32. > :23:35.seems to be more on pressing Iraq's different sectarian leaders to unite
:23:36. > :23:42.and address their different divisions. On Wednesday Iraq Shi'ite
:23:43. > :23:46.Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki made a new appeal for unity. Many see him
:23:47. > :23:56.as part of the problem, he is accused of following sectarian,
:23:57. > :24:02.sectarian policies. We do not want to get to a state where these I
:24:03. > :24:08.assist terrorists get a permanent hold on Iraqi territory. That would
:24:09. > :24:11.be the basis on which this cancerous growth will grow throughout the
:24:12. > :24:20.whole area and will destabilise the whole area and it will affect the
:24:21. > :24:25.UK, as Mr Cameron said yesterday. In Shi'ite dominated Basra, in the five
:24:26. > :24:30.South, more volunteers to take on the militants, but just how this
:24:31. > :24:34.crisis unfolds and what its impact will be inside Iraq and beyond are
:24:35. > :24:39.still far from clear. We can go back to Spain, not for
:24:40. > :24:44.such good news because in the football the titleholders go no
:24:45. > :24:57.further than the group stages. Fans watched them lose their second game
:24:58. > :25:04.last night to Chile by 2-0. It was the mismatch of the World Cup
:25:05. > :25:10.so far. A team of Brazilian kids barely in their teens, showing some
:25:11. > :25:18.much bigger and slower English men how to play the beautiful game. In
:25:19. > :25:21.one of Sao Paulo's toughest neighbourhoods some footballing
:25:22. > :25:27.diplomacy as England fans handed out dozens of shirt donated by league
:25:28. > :25:30.clubs at home. It has been an incredible day to share this
:25:31. > :25:35.experience and see this charity and the work they do and to play
:25:36. > :25:40.football against some of the local kids. It is a big day for these
:25:41. > :25:45.players as well, England in Sao Paulo for a game they cannot afford
:25:46. > :25:50.to lose. After the debilitating effect of the heat and humidity in
:25:51. > :25:59.Manaus, the weather here could work to their advantage because it is
:26:00. > :26:02.cold and wet in Brazil's biggest city. The Italy defeat behind them,
:26:03. > :26:09.the senior players know they played well enough in Manaus to believe
:26:10. > :26:11.their cup is not yet over. We know of the pain of going out at world
:26:12. > :26:13.cups and it is of the pain of going out at world
:26:14. > :26:18.cups and it something we do not want and we want to stay here for as long
:26:19. > :26:24.as possible. All the young lads and everyone in the squad is aware how
:26:25. > :26:29.difficult a summer it is going to be if we fail. But Luis Suarez is back
:26:30. > :26:34.for the tiny, South American nation. He could provide that extra
:26:35. > :26:40.bit of bite and Uruguay missed in their surprise opening defeat. These
:26:41. > :26:44.include fans are already having the time of their lives in a country
:26:45. > :26:51.where football can be a tool for good. A win against Uruguay today
:26:52. > :26:58.would complete a memorable journey. It is going to go on and on. Thank
:26:59. > :27:07.you for watching us today. We will see you very soon. Goodbye.

:27:10. > :27:12.You're constantly trying to build the elusive trust.
:27:13. > :27:15.It's like a big old question mark in your heart.
