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

for the tiny, South American nation. He could provide that extra | :26:30. | :26:34. | |
bit of bite and Uruguay missed in their surprise opening defeat. These | :26:35. | :26:40. | |

you for watching us today. We will see you very soon. Goodbye. | :26:59. | :27:07. | |
