:02:45. > :02:48.would try to have. The Americans have a lot of
:02:49. > :02:53.leverage. They still have at least 30,000 troops on the ground. The

:02:58. > :03:05.well as members of the international community. The Afghan national
:03:06. > :03:11.security forces cost 4.1 billion dls. The politicians in Afghanistan
:03:12. > :03:17.realise Afghanistan's future stability is very much tied in its
:03:18. > :03:22.relationship with help from Washington. There's no doubt about
:03:23. > :03:28.that. That being said, Abdullah Abdullah's made a number of fresh
:03:29. > :03:32.demands. He is saying 8.1 million voters did not take part in the
:03:33. > :03:38.second round of elections. He believed no more than 5.5 million
:03:39. > :03:46.people took part. Mr Abdullah Abdullah wants Mr Kerry as well as
:03:47. > :03:55.the UN here to reinspect votes from 11,000 ballot boxes, more than half
:03:56. > :04:00.of the votes. The UN envoy here said at least 8,000 ballot boxes should
:04:01. > :04:04.be reinspected, about three million votes. There are still quite a
:04:05. > :04:10.number of disputes to be solved. More importantly, Mr Kerry would
:04:11. > :04:16.have to create a climate of trust where Mr Abdullah Abdullah and Dr

:05:43. > :05:45.place? I think the world was cautiously optimistic. It is a
:05:46. > :05:50.single one-off case. While it is seen as a set back, it is still an
:05:51. > :05:55.interesting case because the baby managed to sup press viral rep
:05:56. > :06:00.casing for two years without drugs. That's unprecedented. There's a lot
:06:01. > :06:08.we can learn from that in terms of trying to develop new approaches.
:06:09. > :06:11.Longevity with anti-veerals is good. Had the mother been treated before

:06:25. > :06:31.preventing. Preventing completely or curing it or would that child still
:06:32. > :06:36.have HIV? It would have prevented the child becoming infected. That
:06:37. > :06:40.remains the most important strategy for preventing HIV infectious of
:06:41. > :06:46.babies. Early diagnosis. Access to treatment is really key. For adults.
:06:47. > :06:50.There was that case with the American, Timothy Ray Brown who had
:06:51. > :06:55.a bone marrow transplant and he seems to be free of the virus. Is
:06:56. > :07:01.that unique? It is a very unique situation. It is known as the Berlin
:07:02. > :07:05.patient. This was somebody who had a bone marrow transplant using cells
:07:06. > :07:11.which had a mutation that made them resistant to HIV. A one-off. Very
:07:12. > :07:15.interesting study but doesn't have broad app lick ability to the wider
:07:16. > :07:20.population. That is had a been repeated with other patients to see
:07:21. > :07:26.if it had the same affect? It hasn't. It was a major operation but
:07:27. > :07:32.it also requires finding somebody who's match to that donor and has
:07:33. > :07:40.the mutation. For people who are suffering now, how inconvenient is
:07:41. > :07:45.it in terms of taking all these anti-rat Rat veerals? Can people
:07:46. > :07:49.lead a normal life? There are potentially side affects. Treatment
:07:50. > :07:53.is better and better. People can be treated with a single pill a day and
:07:54. > :07:59.expect to have a good healthy life span. The picture is much bitter.
:08:00. > :08:02.But it is treatment for life. It does require taking drugs for their
:08:03. > :08:10.natural life span. Where are numbers now in terms of global figures on
:08:11. > :08:14.HIV? And are those veerals getting into Africa where they are needed
:08:15. > :08:23.where cases are higher? We have about 35 million people living with
:08:24. > :08:28.HIV. Globally? Yes. There's about 13 million accessing anti-y retroviral.
:08:29. > :08:32.That's a huge advance. That's lower death rates by about 20% in the last
:08:33. > :08:38.three years. There's still a long way to go to make access to these
:08:39. > :08:43.drugs universally available. It is still requires an increasing
:08:44. > :08:49.financial support given that right now it's costing about 20 billion.
:08:50. > :08:56.It could be predicted by 2035 to be up to 30 billion doctors a year.
:08:57. > :09:00.-- $30 billion a year. Thank you.
:09:01. > :09:05.The deaths of two Palestinians in an Israeli air raid on a camp in
:09:06. > :09:08.central Gaza has brought the toll at number of people killed in the
:09:09. > :09:14.conflict to 100 in four days. Overnight, another five people were
:09:15. > :09:18.killed when a three storey house in Hafah was flattened. Mitt taints
:09:19. > :09:27.have fired more rockets at Tel Aviv in the last knew hours. Rockets been
:09:28. > :09:29.fired into northern Is Rat from lab none for the first time in the
:09:30. > :09:41.conflict. Fired into northern Israel from
:09:42. > :09:48.Lebanon. Rocket fire from Gaza hit a petrol
:09:49. > :09:56.station in the southern Israeli city of Ashdod.
:09:57. > :09:59.In is the petrol station in Ashdod. This is the damage caused by a
:10:00. > :10:05.Palestinian rocket strike this morning. It struck about 7.30 am.
:10:06. > :10:09.Look at the fire that started at these pumps here. They are almost
:10:10. > :10:15.entirely destroyed. The fire spread right up to the ceiling. Have a look
:10:16. > :10:21.on the roof there. That black, that soot. If you look down there, here's
:10:22. > :10:27.the damage to the rest of the petrol station. Two more pumps knocked out.
:10:28. > :10:29.The glass has been shattered. A paramedic I've been speaking to says
:10:30. > :10:34.six people were injured. One seriously. That person was taken to
:10:35. > :10:39.hospital. This may be one of the most serious strikes from Gaza to
:10:40. > :10:44.Israel in recent days. Palestinian militants have fired more than 500
:10:45. > :10:49.rock etc towards Israel. Many have been intercepted. But, for some
:10:50. > :10:54.reason, the rockets fired here this morning were not intercepted.
:10:55. > :10:58.Despite Israel's air strikes, its intention to stop rockets, rocket
:10:59. > :11:04.fire continues to land here in Israel.
:11:05. > :11:08.The Middle East envoy Tony Blair says he's extraordinarily worried
:11:09. > :11:14.about what's happening in Gaza. We've all been trying to call for
:11:15. > :11:20.restraint and de-escalation. The reality is the situation is
:11:21. > :11:26.escalating. I think we need, as a matter of urgency, short-term
:11:27. > :11:28.arrangements and agraements that allow us to de-escalate this
:11:29. > :11:33.situation and restore some form of calm. I don't think that will work
:11:34. > :11:40.unless there is also put in place some way of resolving the longer
:11:41. > :11:45.term questions at the heart of this violence and conflict. And without
:11:46. > :11:50.that long-term solution in place, I think it will be very difficult to
:11:51. > :11:54.create any short-term peace. In the previous conflicts Egypt had
:11:55. > :11:59.a key role under President Morsi in helping to bring the by the #9
:12:00. > :12:08.fighting to an end. Will Egypt's new president get involved? Let's hear
:12:09. > :12:11.from Orla Guerin from Cairo? Interesting statement from the
:12:12. > :12:16.Egyptian authorities about what's happening in Gazza? This was a much
:12:17. > :12:22.tougher statement from the Foreign Ministry here than we've had so far.
:12:23. > :12:26.Until now, Egypt's been afforcings blame in both directions, calling
:12:27. > :12:30.for restraint by both Israel and the Palestinians. Today, we've had a
:12:31. > :12:36.much stronger statement against Israel. Let me quote you a bit from
:12:37. > :12:42.that. It accuses Israel of an irresponsible escalation in occupied
:12:43. > :12:46.Palestinian lands. Israel is using excessive military force leading to
:12:47. > :12:52.the deaths of innocent civilians. Israel is continuing a repressive
:12:53. > :12:56.policy of collective uponishments. The major question, as you say, is
:12:57. > :13:00.whether or not Egypt is going to play the role that if has in the
:13:01. > :13:05.past. That of a mediator between the two sides. It is one of only two
:13:06. > :13:09.Arab countries with a peace treaty with Israel. The last ceasefire
:13:10. > :13:15.between Israel and the Palestinians was in November 2012, that was
:13:16. > :13:18.brokered by Egypt under the deposed president Mohamed Morsi. We now have
:13:19. > :13:24.a very different Government in place. That has changed the
:13:25. > :13:28.relationship between Egypt and Hamas in Gaza in particular, who they
:13:29. > :13:36.would link with the Muslim Brotherhood? I think it's changed
:13:37. > :13:41.the dynamics entirely. The Government, the former army chief,
:13:42. > :13:45.views Hamas as a direct threat, it has taken moves to ban the
:13:46. > :13:50.activities of the am mass. It is probably quite happy to Seaham mass
:13:51. > :13:55.under pressure but not happy about the Palestinian civilian casualties
:13:56. > :14:00.going alongside. Israel's saying it is involved in extensive contacts
:14:01. > :14:04.with all sides, the Israelis, Palestinians, various regional and
:14:05. > :14:09.international players. It said this morning those contacts have been met
:14:10. > :14:14.with intransigence. There is a feeling this time around, Egypt is
:14:15. > :14:18.not going to rush in to broker a truce that might in any way throw a
:14:19. > :14:26.lifeline to Hamas. The feeling was in November 2012, the deal brokered
:14:27. > :14:31.by Mohamed Morsi, who came from the Muslim Brotherhood was favourable to
:14:32. > :14:35.Hamas, an offshoot from the brotherhood. There is a different
:14:36. > :14:39.relationship this time. There is a sense in a way Israel and Egypt are
:14:40. > :14:44.in fact on the same page. Both wanting to Seaham mass brought to
:14:45. > :14:48.its knees. But, officially, Egypt insists it is doing all it can
:14:49. > :14:53.diplomatically and it is continuing every contact it can engage in.
:14:54. > :15:00.Nobody is expecting it to deliver quickly in this case, if at all.
:15:01. > :15:07.Orla, thank you. Breaking news in the last couple of
:15:08. > :15:12.moments, the Iraqi oil ministry says Kurdish forces have taken control of
:15:13. > :15:17.two oil fields near Kirkuk expellinger Rab workers and
:15:18. > :15:25.replacing them with Kurdish personnel. The oil ministry says the

:16:55. > :17:00.others in Rio de Janeiro earlier this week. He is accused of selling
:17:01. > :17:05.tickets, allocated to team officials and sponsors. The BBC's Ben Brown
:17:06. > :17:11.has this report. When the police arrived at the lavish Copacabana
:17:12. > :17:15.Hotel to re-arrest Ray Whelan, they dicovered he had gone. The
:17:16. > :17:20.detectives said that the television in his room was on and his
:17:21. > :17:26.flip-flops were there, showing he left in a hurry. He said that they
:17:27. > :17:30.saw the CCTV images. It was said he left an hour ago
:17:31. > :17:35.through the back door, the staff door. They are sure someone tipped
:17:36. > :17:41.him off as it is unusual for someone to leave through the staff door.
:17:42. > :17:46.They have an arrest warrant for him, so he is officiallially a fugitive.
:17:47. > :17:51.This shows he does not want to co-operate. Ray Whelan was arrested
:17:52. > :17:56.a few days ago, then released after questioning. At the time his
:17:57. > :18:01.company, match services, said he was innocent. Match services is a
:18:02. > :18:07.partner firm of FIFA, selling VIP tickets. Ray Whelan was detained as
:18:08. > :18:11.part of a wider investigation into the Geneva Conventional trade of
:18:12. > :18:15.World Cup tickets at inflated prices. The police have 11 over men
:18:16. > :18:20.in custody. Detectives allege that they are part of a gang who have
:18:21. > :18:24.made tens of millions of dollars from selling ticket, not only at
:18:25. > :18:28.this World Cup but at previous tournaments too. The police in Rio
:18:29. > :18:32.de Janeiro allege that they have phone tap evidence that points to an
:18:33. > :18:36.international criminal conspiracy to sell tickets at this World Cup at
:18:37. > :18:40.vastly inflated prices. They say that they need to talk to Ray Whelan
:18:41. > :18:50.as soon as possible. They are hoping that he gives himself up.
:18:51. > :18:58.This is BBC World News. The latest headlines:

:19:16. > :19:20.Graphic and compelling evidence of savage beatings and other torture of
:19:21. > :19:24.activists, protesters and journalists in the eastern Ukraine
:19:25. > :19:31.in the last three months has emerged. There are no comprehensive
:19:32. > :19:37.figures on abductions but the Ukrainian Interior Ministry has
:19:38. > :19:42.reported 500 cases in April to June. I have been speaking to the BBC's
:19:43. > :19:45.David Stern in Kiev. I asked him about the Ukrainian government's
:19:46. > :19:49.response to the report. So far no official response, Tim. It
:19:50. > :19:54.should be said that yes, there is a damning report, it has raised a lot
:19:55. > :19:59.of concerns on the part of Amnesty International. They said that there
:20:00. > :20:05.were kidnappings and abuses on both sides. But they said that the
:20:06. > :20:08.majority, were carried out by the pro-Russian separatists, the
:20:09. > :20:14.insurgents and the Russians fighting against the government forces. As we
:20:15. > :20:22.know, the BBC has seen a basement in the town of Slavyansk where
:20:23. > :20:27.pro-Russian separatists held some of their hostages under grim conditions
:20:28. > :20:33.indeed. Amnesty was concerned about what they saw. They have spoken of
:20:34. > :20:38.torture and beatings and that in some cases these instances were
:20:39. > :20:41.stomach-churning. Will this entrench the situation
:20:42. > :20:47.further? It is difficult to say. There have been these accusations
:20:48. > :20:53.and reports for some time. The government accusing the pro-
:20:54. > :20:59.separatists for carrying out such abductions. There are reasons that
:21:00. > :21:03.they intimidate the local population, this does not help the
:21:04. > :21:08.situation but it points to the increasingly ongoing and in some
:21:09. > :21:12.cases, increasing brutalility of the conflict in the eastern Ukraine.
:21:13. > :21:18.Germany's Foreign Minister says that the decision to expel the CIA's top
:21:19. > :21:22.off 1458 in Berlin was inevitable, following two cases of alleged
:21:23. > :21:25.spying by America in a week. The decision further strained relations
:21:26. > :21:30.between the two countries, with Germany keen to discuss issues of

:21:44. > :21:52.The two different sides, are to meet in veena on the conference -- are to
:21:53. > :21:59.meet in Vienna at the conference there. It is hard to see what it
:22:00. > :22:02.will achieve. Since the revelations over Angela Merkel's phone, the
:22:03. > :22:08.Germans have been saying why have they been doing this, can they come
:22:09. > :22:12.to some kind of agreement for you to stop spying on Al Fayed I. Maybe
:22:13. > :22:19.John Kerry will have new information over the weekend. But it is hard to
:22:20. > :22:24.imagine. In which case how do you rebuild the trust, as the German
:22:25. > :22:28.government sees it, it is hard to imagine. But all governments do
:22:29. > :22:34.this, is the German government clean on the issue as well? Well, that is
:22:35. > :22:38.a question that is being asked here. Clearly you don't know how much the
:22:39. > :22:44.activity of the Secret Services is, as it is secret. But people here
:22:45. > :22:48.say, that you know, our own people are completely clear. They knew for
:22:49. > :22:53.example who the head of the CIA was in the embassy. Whether that is
:22:54. > :22:59.common knowledge, I do not know. But, they do say that, the German
:23:00. > :23:04.government does say, that listening in to somebody's phone for example
:23:05. > :23:08.it is a different order of spying. The second incident involves
:23:09. > :23:13.somebody preparing documents within the German Secret Service for a
:23:14. > :23:19.parliamentary Committee investigating spying, ironically
:23:20. > :23:25.enough. They say that's a breach of democracy, that's a nonviolent
:23:26. > :23:32.attack on the parliamentary system. They find that very offensive.
:23:33. > :23:36.Have there been one-to-one talks between Angela Merkel and Obama
:23:37. > :23:40.since the latest episode occurred? There certainly has been a telephone
:23:41. > :23:46.conversation but the details of that conversation have not been released.
:23:47. > :23:51.Angela Merkel is trying to balance things, really. She is clearly
:23:52. > :23:55.voicing extreme disquiet, anger, really. But at the same time she
:23:56. > :24:00.wants to keep the relationship on track. While all around her there
:24:01. > :24:07.are people saying why are we being friendly with people that spy on us?
:24:08. > :24:12.They ask for help over Edward Snowden, sanctions over Russia, why
:24:13. > :24:17.are we co-operating? Now to art with a difference. You cannot see it in
:24:18. > :24:22.the studio, you cannot own it, it does not last very long. For a San
:24:23. > :24:27.Francisco artist, the beach is his studio, the sand is his canvass. It
:24:28. > :24:32.takes hour to complete each artwork but when the tide comes in they have
:24:33. > :24:38.gone forever. That does not stop people travelling for miles to see
:24:39. > :24:43.his creations. It is barely daylight when Andreas goes to work. He is a
:24:44. > :24:50.work scape artist. He spends his days on the beach raking the sand.
:24:51. > :24:53.He let's his imagination run wild, creating geometric patterns.
:24:54. > :24:58.Sometimes they are huge, sometimes not but they are all very different.
:24:59. > :25:03.I would say that my biggest inspiration is nature. The patterns
:25:04. > :25:09.that I see around me. I am trying to understand the world that I see. A
:25:10. > :25:15.scientific pursuit on some level. He rakes the beach and by blending
:25:16. > :25:18.broad and narrow strokes, he creates the patterns that are really quite
:25:19. > :25:23.stunning. It is difficult for him to see if the designs are working from
:25:24. > :25:28.the ground so he mounts a camera on a quad couldn'ter that hovers above
:25:29. > :25:32.the design and takes pictures. Beach-goers love his work and often
:25:33. > :25:37.travel miles to see it. But some visitors may not be quite so
:25:38. > :25:42.welcome. Andreas used to be an environmental
:25:43. > :25:46.scientist but he gave it all up to follow his dream. He still can't
:25:47. > :25:51.believe his luck. It has opened more doors and made
:25:52. > :25:55.more things possible than I could have dreamed of before. I never
:25:56. > :26:00.thought I could be making a living raking in the sand! His work may
:26:01. > :26:06.disappear when the tide comes in but it does not worry Andreas, it just
:26:07. > :26:12.means he has a blank canvass to rake over in the morning.
:26:13. > :26:20.Absolutely beautiful, ant they? Now, let's show you a very rare outsider,
:26:21. > :26:25.literally flying home in a photo finish at Brighton racecourse. This
:26:26. > :26:29.is in the south of England. This sea gull did not quite make it
:26:30. > :26:34.first-past-the-post but was caught on camera soaring into second place
:26:35. > :26:43.there. The bird, oh, my goodness, caused a flap on the race on
:26:44. > :26:49.Tuesday, thought to be the first bird to feature in a photo finish
:26:50. > :26:56.for a horse race, just a second, by a beak. The Iraqi oil ministry has
:26:57. > :27:01.accused Kurdish fighters of taking control of oil wells near the
:27:02. > :27:02.northern city of Kirk kick Kirk.
