:00:16. > :00:18.World News. The top stories: 0 Palestinians were reported killed in

:00:19. > :00:22.the latest night of Israeli airstrikes on Gaza. Israel warns of

:00:23. > :00:27.no ceasefire as long as Hamas keeps up its rocket fire aimed at cities

:00:28. > :00:33.including Tel Aviv. We don't want a situation where OK,

:00:34. > :00:37.you have a quick fix mandate, Hamas gets to regroup, to rest a bit and

:00:38. > :00:42.in a week from now you have this again. That's not a solution.

:00:43. > :00:48.Details emerge in France of an alleged Al-Qaeda plot to blow up the

:00:49. > :00:54.Eiffel Tower. Canadian pop star Justin Bieber is sentenced to two

:00:55. > :01:09.years probation for pelting his neighbour's home with eggs.

:01:10. > :01:14.Hello. Three Palestinians were killed, another four injured in an

:01:15. > :01:19.Israeli raid on central Gaza just this morning. Palestinian medical

:01:20. > :01:24.officials say the total killed since hostilities broke out now stands at

:01:25. > :01:26.78, most of them are civilians. The Egyptian government's ordered the

:01:27. > :01:31.partial opening of the main border crossing into the Gaza Strip at

:01:32. > :01:35.Rafa, to enable injured Palestinians to be treated there. Israel says in

:01:36. > :01:39.the past 24 hours, more than 100 rockets have been launched on to its

:01:40. > :01:43.land from the Gaza Strip. One of the Israeli strikes killed

:01:44. > :01:50.nine people last night as they watched the World Cup in this beach

:01:51. > :02:01.cafe in the town of Khan Younis. The BBC's Yolande Knell is in Gaza.

:02:02. > :02:06.The streets in Gaza are very empty. It's a densely populated place but

:02:07. > :02:14.nobody is on the streets. A lot of shelling by naval forces. The

:02:15. > :02:18.Israeli military's hit over 100 tarts since Midnight local time. In

:02:19. > :02:22.that time as well, it says there were five rockets that hit Israel

:02:23. > :02:26.fired by militants in Gaza and a further seven that were intercepted

:02:27. > :02:27.by its dome defence system. Of course at the moment,

:02:28. > :02:31.by its dome defence system. Of course at the there's a lot of

:02:32. > :02:35.concern about the increasing number of civilians killed, more than 60

:02:36. > :02:39.people have been killed in Gaza since the Israeli military operation

:02:40. > :02:43.began on Tuesday and increasingly civilians have been killed, a lot of

:02:44. > :02:48.criticism of Israel's policy of going after mill Tanses in their

:02:49. > :02:51.homes. There was one case where the Israeli military has now apologised

:02:52. > :02:56.saying it was a tragedy what happened in a house in Khan Younis

:02:57. > :03:00.that belonged to a Hamas commander. They have a policy of doing the

:03:01. > :03:03.knock on roof idea which means they either send a rocket as a warning or

:03:04. > :03:08.make a call to the house telling the people to leave and then they attack

:03:09. > :03:11.it, but in this case, local people say they amassed there in a human

:03:12. > :03:16.shield thinking that would stop the house from being attacked. Israel

:03:17. > :03:21.says they just returned too early to the home and that nine people, eight

:03:22. > :03:25.people sorry were killed in that attack. But that having been said,

:03:26. > :03:29.there were then a number of people who got killed in a beach side cafe

:03:30. > :03:34.as they were watching the World Cup semi-final in Khan Younis not far

:03:35. > :03:40.away last night. So this policy still of going after homes does seem

:03:41. > :03:45.to be continuing. Israel has been on the receiving end of Hamas rocket

:03:46. > :03:48.attacks coming from Gaza and our correspondent, James Reynolds, has

:03:49. > :03:53.sent us this report. This is one of the most recent

:03:54. > :04:00.Palestinian rocket hits on Israel. This is an art workshop in the small

:04:01. > :04:05.village of Kfar Aza. I want to show you the damage. Here is the rubble.

:04:06. > :04:10.Look beyond the police tape towards the roof, that is where the rocket

:04:11. > :04:13.landed. It punched through the roof and there was no-one in that

:04:14. > :04:17.workshop at the time. That wasn't the only hit on this

:04:18. > :04:22.small village last night. There's a family home. You can't see it, but

:04:23. > :04:26.it's a couple of blocks away. A rocket landed in the playroom of

:04:27. > :04:31.that house, but no-one was in the house at the time, so no-one was

:04:32. > :04:35.injured. But this community has been shaken. It's following Israel's

:04:36. > :04:39.military operation in Gaza which is just a few miles away, extremely

:04:40. > :04:44.closely. I can hear a drone in the sky at the moment, very, very high,

:04:45. > :04:48.and people here essentially say that they want calm. They are fed up of

:04:49. > :04:49.rocket strikes, they feel under threat and vulnerable and they want

:04:50. > :04:53.the Israeli Army to act. the Israeli Army

:04:54. > :05:03.That is the situation on the ground. What about the political responses?

:05:04. > :05:12.Dr Mustafa Barghouti is President of the Palestinian party. He --

:05:13. > :05:17.national initiative party and said they are ready to stop. If Israel

:05:18. > :05:29.stops attacking them, they are ready to accept a mutual declaration of

:05:30. > :05:32.fire. In the two previous attacks on Gaza, Israel killed 2,000

:05:33. > :05:38.Palestinians, including 500 children. If this is allowed to be

:05:39. > :05:44.repeated, it will be very grave and much larger massacre. Remember that

:05:45. > :05:48.Gaza is only 140 Square Miles with about 1.8 million people living

:05:49. > :05:57.here, the most populated area in the world. Israeli attacks and bombs and

:05:58. > :06:03.airstrikes, are taking away the lives of people. Yesterday they

:06:04. > :06:08.killed a general. Saying Hamas is ready to stop its rockets there from

:06:09. > :06:11.vieded the Israelis stop their airstrikes. This is the response

:06:12. > :06:18.from the Israeli government spokesman, Mark Regev. With all

:06:19. > :06:22.fairness from Mr Barghouti, he's not a Hamas spokesman or official. If

:06:23. > :06:26.Hamas wants to stop firing rockets, they can do so immediately.

:06:27. > :06:30.Do you think it makes sense to have a simple agreement, maybe you need

:06:31. > :06:35.mediation to do it, an agreement on a time at which both sides just stop

:06:36. > :06:39.because I'm sure you would agree there is no point in batting

:06:40. > :06:43.back-and-forth about who started it? Well, we can have a discussion if

:06:44. > :06:47.you want, but Israel does not want to see a situation, I mean we have

:06:48. > :06:55.been hitting Hamas very hard over the last three days. We don't want a

:06:56. > :06:59.situation where OK you have a quick fix band-aids Hamas gets to regroup

:07:00. > :07:04.and rest and in a week you get missiles in Israel again. That is

:07:05. > :07:07.not a solution. This immediate quick fix, that is not going to happen, I

:07:08. > :07:13.want to be clear about that. There was ample opportunity to deescalate

:07:14. > :07:16.as we came into this crisis, Prime Minister Netanyahu alluded to that

:07:17. > :07:23.publicly, he said messages were sent to try to prevent the crisis from

:07:24. > :07:25.erupting but Hamas kept sending the volleys of rockets trying to kill

:07:26. > :07:27.people and we were forced to respond. We don't want

:07:28. > :07:30.people and we were forced to respond. We don't to give Hamas a

:07:31. > :07:34.time out so they can come back with more energy and hit us neck week or

:07:35. > :07:37.the week after. -- next week or the week after.

:07:38. > :07:42.Details have emerged from a leaked official document in France about an

:07:43. > :07:47.alleged Al-Qaeda plot a year ago to blow up the Eiffel Tower and other

:07:48. > :07:51.landmarks. The revelation is coinciding with the presentation by

:07:52. > :07:55.the French government of a new anti-Terrorism Bill. Christian

:07:56. > :08:01.Fraser is in Paris. Tell us more?

:08:02. > :08:04.I've no doubt that this plot was leaked to strengthen the

:08:05. > :08:09.government's case for tighter anti-terror laws but it points to a

:08:10. > :08:14.young man living in the south-east of France, a 29-year-old Halal

:08:15. > :08:19.butcher in communication via the Internet with a senior lieutenant

:08:20. > :08:24.from Al-Qaeda in the Islamic area Maghreb. Through the course of the

:08:25. > :08:29.communication, the encrypted messages which were deciphered by

:08:30. > :08:32.the Intelligence Services, he identified several targets,

:08:33. > :08:37.including the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower, very popular with tourist of

:08:38. > :08:41.course here in Paris. Also nuclear sites, small bars and nightclubs

:08:42. > :08:44.where average French citizens from poorer classes might gather. He

:08:45. > :08:49.impressed the people he was communicating with to such an extent

:08:50. > :08:53.that they invited him for ten days' training in nine ya and he would

:08:54. > :08:57.have then returned to France to await instructions. The French are

:08:58. > :09:01.concerned there are people like him, an increasing number of people like

:09:02. > :09:04.him, those that have been to fight in Syria, that pose a threat back

:09:05. > :09:09.here in France. So yesterday there were much tighter laws introduced by

:09:10. > :09:13.the Interior Minister which will essentially try and prevent these

:09:14. > :09:17.kind of low walls from carrying out terrorist attacks. I suppose it says

:09:18. > :09:21.something for French intelligence and security that they thwarted

:09:22. > :09:26.this. Is it clear how close he'd got?

:09:27. > :09:32.It's not. From the reports we have had from the French media, it's not

:09:33. > :09:35.clear whether he was any nearer to carrying out these attacks. I

:09:36. > :09:39.presume he wasn't because he hadn't been for the training. The point the

:09:40. > :09:42.foreignp government is trying to make is that there are people like

:09:43. > :09:45.this who they want to prevent from travelling so under the new Bill

:09:46. > :09:49.laid out yesterday, there'll be travel bans of up to six months

:09:50. > :09:52.renewable at the discretion of the Interior Minister for people like

:09:53. > :09:57.him who they pick up on Jihadi websites. They are also putting

:09:58. > :10:01.pressure on travel companies to put forward passenger lists and people

:10:02. > :10:04.they've identified who appear on the lists can't book tickets or

:10:05. > :10:07.shouldn't be allowed to book tickets, those that do and of course

:10:08. > :10:13.it's difficult to stop people travelling within the Schengen area,

:10:14. > :10:16.they'll be subject to an international arrest warrant. There

:10:17. > :10:20.is legislation within the Bill that would allow intelligence officers to

:10:21. > :10:25.circulate under pseudonyms within Internet websites. Laws that are

:10:26. > :10:29.similar to child pornography laws. So they would be able to close down

:10:30. > :10:34.Internet sites that encourage these lone wolves. They have experience of

:10:35. > :10:39.it of course in France. We had the attack in Brussels recently with the

:10:40. > :10:44.man who killed three people at a Jewish museum and also Mohammed

:10:45. > :10:47.Mehda who turned his guns on Jewish people at a school in Toulouse.

:10:48. > :10:50.These are the sort of people in their sights and they want to

:10:51. > :10:54.prevent it happening again, those people that might return from Syria.

:10:55. > :10:57.Understandably. Thank you very much. That puts us on a theme really

:10:58. > :11:00.because here in Britain, the Prime Minister, David Cameron, has just

:11:01. > :11:06.announced that he's rushing through an emergency law to give police and

:11:07. > :11:10.spy agencies access to mobile phone and Internet data. He said these

:11:11. > :11:14.powers are needed to keep people safe from criminals and terrorists

:11:15. > :11:18.targeting the UK. Let me be clear. I'm not talking

:11:19. > :11:23.about the content of those communications. Just the fact that

:11:24. > :11:27.those communications took place. The so-called communications data.

:11:28. > :11:31.Information about who contacted whom when and where. This is at the heart

:11:32. > :11:38.of our entire criminal justice system. It's used in 95% of all

:11:39. > :11:42.serious organised crime cases handed by the prosecution service. It's

:11:43. > :11:46.been used in every major Security Service Counter-Terrorism

:11:47. > :11:50.investigation over the past decade. It's the foundation of prosecutions

:11:51. > :11:55.of paedophiles, drug dealers and fraudsters. For example, without

:11:56. > :11:58.mobile phone call logs, the killers of Rhys Jones and the men who

:11:59. > :12:03.groomed young girls in Rochdale would not have been convicted. With

:12:04. > :12:06.me is the BBC's Security Correspondent, Gordon Corera.

:12:07. > :12:10.Interesting coming out now. We have just been listening to what is going

:12:11. > :12:16.on in France. It's a common theme for a lot of countries I know. Is

:12:17. > :12:19.this a Syria/Iraq approach? It's interesting the Prime Minister was

:12:20. > :12:22.referencing Syria and Iraq as one of the reasons why this new emergency

:12:23. > :12:27.legislation is needed. But actually, the real reason is to do with a

:12:28. > :12:31.court ruling by the European Court of Justice in April which

:12:32. > :12:34.invalidated the existing system of keeping phone and e-mail records. So

:12:35. > :12:39.this is something that has been done for a number of years and that all

:12:40. > :12:42.European countries were doing in different ways implementing this

:12:43. > :12:44.directive from Europe. In April, it was said that it was

:12:45. > :12:48.disproportionate the way it was done. The system effectively became

:12:49. > :12:54.invalid and so the Government here is saying, we need to put our own

:12:55. > :12:58.system in place as fast as we can so that we can continue to keep the

:12:59. > :13:01.phone records and e-mail records that the police and Security Service

:13:02. > :13:05.can access. They are making the case that this isn't new powers, it's not

:13:06. > :13:09.new powers in the way maybe that France are talking about, this is

:13:10. > :13:12.maintaining an existing capability to do something they have already

:13:13. > :13:16.been doing. But it will be as much power so they are not relinquishing

:13:17. > :13:20.anything either? No, they are not rebulletin quirking anything. But

:13:21. > :13:24.what they are doing is saying that they accept that this is

:13:25. > :13:26.controversial, so they'll put more privacy, safeguards and

:13:27. > :13:32.accountability processes around the use of this power -- relinquishing

:13:33. > :13:37.anything. More transparency and information about how it's being

:13:38. > :13:38.used, if you like. They are saying that the power is not necessarily

:13:39. > :13:44.new. There is a Ification relationship with

:13:45. > :13:48.companies because this material is held by companies like Google,

:13:49. > :13:51.telephone companies often who're international and they are saying we

:13:52. > :13:54.need a clear legal footing to do this because we are not comfortable

:13:55. > :13:58.otherwise keeping this data or giving it to Government. So it's an

:13:59. > :14:03.attempt to really clarify and make clear so that everyone feels they

:14:04. > :14:05.are on a safer legal footing for when this information is requested

:14:06. > :14:11.by Government. Thank you very much.

:14:12. > :14:16.Stay with us here on BBC World News. Still to come: Australia's asylum

:14:17. > :14:26.policy certainly under the Spotlight. Shock claims coming from

:14:27. > :14:30.asylum seekers. What have you got up to in the last

:14:31. > :14:35.month a few trips to the shops, work in the office, the odd school run or

:14:36. > :14:41.the normal things of life? It's not the life that Fabio Crusto leads.

:14:42. > :14:49.He's spent 31 days living under water at a laboratory in key lard

:14:50. > :14:53.go. It was to study the effects of climate change -- Key Largo. They

:14:54. > :14:59.were able to gather up to two years of data in a matter of weeks.

:15:00. > :15:05.For daily life and routine started at about 5.30 in the morning, diving

:15:06. > :15:09.as of 5. 30, 6 o'clock in the morning. We had three to four hours

:15:10. > :15:14.dive in the morning, a break where we did Skype in the classroom

:15:15. > :15:20.sessions spoke with media, did some work, back to diving midday for

:15:21. > :15:26.three hours or so, another break in the afternoon for some more lab

:15:27. > :15:34.experiments, then a final dive in the evening for another three hours

:15:35. > :15:37.to study at night. By the end of the day, we were probably going to bed

:15:38. > :15:57.about 11. wases. This was based on the --

:15:58. > :16:00.school bus. This was based on human experience.

:16:01. > :16:12.We were actually studying all sorts of very pertinent topics such as

:16:13. > :16:17.climate change as well as pollution and run-off of fertilisers. We have

:16:18. > :16:21.actually done about three years of science and data within 31 days,

:16:22. > :16:34.which is pretty phenomenal. You are watching BBC World News. The

:16:35. > :16:38.latest headlines: Israel continues to pound Gaza for a third day, with

:16:39. > :16:43.almost 80 Palestinians now reported killed in this week's air strikes.

:16:44. > :16:49.Details have emerged in France of an alleged Al-Qaeda plot to blow up the

:16:50. > :16:54.ufl tower and other -- Eiffel Tower and other Paris landmarks.

:16:55. > :16:59.Australia's Immigration Minister has rejected claims made by Sri Lanka

:17:00. > :17:03.asylum seeker that they were mistreated by officials. Scott

:17:04. > :17:11.Morrison was spoking during a visit to co-lop bow E. A day after --

:17:12. > :17:13.Colombo. A day after asylum seeker had been sent back.

:17:14. > :17:18.They bring with them stories of torture and the disappearance of

:17:19. > :17:28.relatives since the end of the civil war. They are too afraid to show

:17:29. > :17:28.their faces because of fears of re-- recriminations against their

:17:29. > :17:43.families back home. TRANSLATION: I am worried.

:17:44. > :17:45.If I go home,ly be arrested and harshly treated. My family will be

:17:46. > :17:52.in danger. Refugee advocates say the

:17:53. > :17:59.persecution of returned Tamils is well documented. Even though the war

:18:00. > :18:08.in Sri Lanka is over. There is abduction, disappearance,

:18:09. > :18:15.detention, torture. Women assaulted. One of the asylum boats set sail

:18:16. > :18:21.from southern India. The fate of 153 Tamils on board will be decided by

:18:22. > :18:23.Australia's High Court. A temporary injunction is preventing the

:18:24. > :18:28.Government in Canberra from sending their home. Australia's Immigration

:18:29. > :18:33.Minister, Scott Morrison, says international laws are not being

:18:34. > :18:37.broken and that any asylum seeker returned to Sri Lanka will have

:18:38. > :18:42.their refugee claims thoroughly assessed. The interception of the

:18:43. > :18:47.two boats has reignited a toxic debate here. There are those who

:18:48. > :18:52.believe the Australia Government 's policies are unnecessarily harsh and

:18:53. > :18:58.draconian. Others, including many migrants insist, that boat people

:18:59. > :19:04.are not welcome. I feel sorry for the kids. Enough of boats coming out

:19:05. > :19:12.here. I thought they were stopped. You've got to be a true refugee and

:19:13. > :19:15.wait in line, like other refugees are doing.

:19:16. > :19:21.Rather than just trying to get on the boat and slide in that way.

:19:22. > :19:26.If you are genuine, come in the proper way.

:19:27. > :19:31.Four years ago dozens of asylum seekers died when their boat smashed

:19:32. > :19:36.into rocks in the Indian Ocean. Despite the dangers, and hard-line

:19:37. > :19:38.Government policies, the desperate are still willing to risk everything

:19:39. > :19:48.to reach Australia. I just want to give you a glance as

:19:49. > :19:52.to what's going on outside broadcasting house here, where we

:19:53. > :19:56.are in central London now. This is the scene, it is not a carnival. It

:19:57. > :20:01.is a strike and it is quite substantial. This is outside here.

:20:02. > :20:04.Also, let me give you a sense, this is nationwide, in fact, one million

:20:05. > :20:09.public sector workers across Britain taking part in strikes. That's the

:20:10. > :20:15.scene in Birmingham at the moment. As to what it's all about, well our

:20:16. > :20:19.correspondent, here in central London, is following the story for

:20:20. > :20:22.us. What is it all about? Well, this is all about pay, pensions and

:20:23. > :20:27.working conditions and as you can see, behind me, a number of people,

:20:28. > :20:32.many, many, many people are now gathered. Now they are snaking all

:20:33. > :20:36.the way down the road behind me. These are public service workers.

:20:37. > :20:41.They are council staff, firefighters, civil servants,

:20:42. > :20:46.transport workers and of course teachers today. All protesting about

:20:47. > :20:51.the level of pay that they have been receiving over the last four years.

:20:52. > :20:55.Many of them saying, well some of their leaders saying they are ?4,000

:20:56. > :21:00.worse off now than they were four years ago.

:21:01. > :21:04.So, they will be marching from here today, outside the BBC in central

:21:05. > :21:09.London, all the way down to Trafalgar Square for their rally.

:21:10. > :21:12.This is just one of many rallies taking place across the country here

:21:13. > :21:17.today. It has become highly politicised,

:21:18. > :21:21.Sophie, hasn't it? What is the Government's big gripe, if you like,

:21:22. > :21:24.with this day of action? Well, one of the problems here is

:21:25. > :21:30.particularly, for example, with the teaching unions that their ballot,

:21:31. > :21:34.their vote if you like, for strike action, took place two years ago.

:21:35. > :21:38.And the Government is saying that's simply too long ago. You cannot have

:21:39. > :21:44.a ballot for strike action that endures that long. You have to

:21:45. > :21:47.reballot people, if you can. They -- re-ballot people, if you can. They

:21:48. > :21:53.are saying the number of workers who turned out in that ballot were 27%,

:21:54. > :21:58.they say that's nowhere near high enough and that many of the

:21:59. > :22:08.Conservative Party senior members have wanted for some time a turnout

:22:09. > :22:13.in a ballot to be 50%. They are trying to change the law on that if

:22:14. > :22:17.his Government gets in the next general election.

:22:18. > :22:23.Thank you. While Argentina were beating the Netherlands to beat the

:22:24. > :22:29.World Cup final, off the pitch FIFA has chosen to suspend Nigeria from

:22:30. > :22:33.all international football. The football federation was sacked after

:22:34. > :22:35.the exit from the World Cup and FIFA believes this is intolerable

:22:36. > :22:44.interference. There's been a court case going back

:22:45. > :22:48.on in Nigeria, concerning the Nigerian football federation and in

:22:49. > :22:54.particular the President of the federation. The Government stepped

:22:55. > :22:59.in to suspend the Nigerian football federation. FIFA, as we know, take

:23:00. > :23:03.exception to any idea of Government interference in the running of the

:23:04. > :23:08.game of football. As a consequence, FIFA has suspended Nigeria, which

:23:09. > :23:12.means no Nigerian club, no national team can take part in any

:23:13. > :23:19.international competition, at all, from this moment. The nearest,

:23:20. > :23:22.Nigerian under 20 women's team is waiting for an answer on this

:23:23. > :23:27.because they are going to, supposedly, take part in the African

:23:28. > :23:33.championship in a few weeks. This is a very live issue and there needs to

:23:34. > :23:36.be give on the part of the Nigerian football federation and Nigerian

:23:37. > :23:40.Government if FIFA are not to continue that suspension in some

:23:41. > :23:46.place for some time. Also, with regard to the World Cup, police in

:23:47. > :23:52.Brazil say 12 people, among them the director of a World Cup hospitality

:23:53. > :23:55.company have been accused of illegal ticket selling. Ray Whelan was

:23:56. > :23:59.arrested with several others last week. He is accused of selling

:24:00. > :24:03.tickets allocated to team officials and sponsors.

:24:04. > :24:07.President Obama has urged parents in Central America not to send

:24:08. > :24:12.uncompanied children to try and enter the United States illegally.

:24:13. > :24:17.On a visit to Texas to discuss a wave of child migrants, he called on

:24:18. > :24:21.Congress to approve emergency funding to provide accommodation for

:24:22. > :24:25.those children. Japan is bracing itself for severe

:24:26. > :24:30.weather. Tropical Storm Neoguri is moving further north. It has been

:24:31. > :24:34.downgraded in fact from a typhoon, but still some strong winds and

:24:35. > :24:38.heavy rain accompanying it. It has caused wide-spread damage in the

:24:39. > :24:44.southern islands, including Okinawa, where at least three people were

:24:45. > :24:48.killed and several injured. The Canadian pop star Justin Bieber

:24:49. > :24:52.has been sentenced to two years on probation after pleading no contest

:24:53. > :24:59.to a charge of pelting his neighbour's house with eggs. He was

:25:00. > :25:05.awarded to pay $80,000 in damages and attend anger-management classes.

:25:06. > :25:10.From child star to music's latest bad boy. Justin Bieber is paying the

:25:11. > :25:15.price for what his lawyer described as a silly prank. At his home in an

:25:16. > :25:20.upscale neighbourhood outside Los Angeles, he pelted the house next

:25:21. > :25:24.door with eggs. It led to a huge search of his sprawling mansion and

:25:25. > :25:30.a lengthy investigation by the authorities. Prosecutors said it was

:25:31. > :25:36.an extremely immature and silly act that caused an incredible amount of

:25:37. > :25:41.damage, to what the neighbours considered their dream dream house.

:25:42. > :25:47.He accepted a plea deal to settle a charge of vandalism. His punishment

:25:48. > :25:52.includes 12 weekly anger-management sessions and five days of community

:25:53. > :25:56.service. He'll be on probation for two years. According to a

:25:57. > :26:02.spokeswoman Bieber is glad to get the matter resolved and behind him.

:26:03. > :26:07.She said he will move forward, focussing on his career and his

:26:08. > :26:12.music. He has since moved home, but his legal woos continue. He faces

:26:13. > :26:16.two other criminal cases. In Toronto he has been accused of assaulting a

:26:17. > :26:22.limousine driver. Later this month he'll go on trial in Florida for

:26:23. > :26:28.driving under the influence and without a valid license. I want to

:26:29. > :26:33.bring you a nice story as rescuers have managed to refloat a beached

:26:34. > :26:37.whale. The humpback whale was beached for two days before rescuers

:26:38. > :26:42.managed to get it back into the water. They rigged up a snet and

:26:43. > :26:57.used a motor -- net and used a motorboat to get it back out to sea.

:26:58. > :27:07.Thank you for watching BBC World News.

:27:08. > :27:10.Make the most of your weekend, wherever you are.
