:02:30. > :02:34.the crash. The aircraft's position at the time, the moment it happened,
:02:35. > :02:39.and exactly what caused it. It comes five days after the flight came down

:04:14. > :04:19.have been tampered with? Even if not, they may only show something
:04:20. > :04:23.everyone knows, that MH 17 was destroyed suddenly and violently.
:04:24. > :04:27.They will not and so the question of who is responsible. Both sides have
:04:28. > :04:32.the same missile system thought to have downed the jet. Who fired? The
:04:33. > :04:40.Prime Minister told Parliament he was convinced he was to blame. The
:04:41. > :04:46.picture is becoming clearer. MH 17 was shot down by a missile fired by
:04:47. > :04:49.separatists. So what is the intelligence that makes the Prime
:04:50. > :04:54.Minister is so confident? He said there was evidence that over the
:04:55. > :04:58.last month Russians had been supplying weaponry and providing
:04:59. > :05:02.training to separatists, including on-air defence systems. He said
:05:03. > :05:08.moments before contact was lost with the aeroplane, a launch was detected
:05:09. > :05:12.of a missile from separatist territory. He said communications
:05:13. > :05:15.had been intercepted, including one in which a separatist leader talked
:05:16. > :05:21.to in which a separatist leader talked to another he pointed to a
:05:22. > :05:34.video which appeared on social media apparently showing a missile. In
:05:35. > :05:37.Moscow, a competing narratives. Russian defence officials said
:05:38. > :05:41.Ukrainian defence systems were in the area and a Ukrainian jet armed
:05:42. > :05:46.with missiles was near the plane. This scene of the crash near the
:05:47. > :05:50.air. The intelligence we played maybe detailed but it is not the
:05:51. > :05:56.same as detailed forensic evidence from the ground. That may be hard to
:05:57. > :05:57.collect, and without it, the Russians may try to hold to their
:05:58. > :06:02.line. The British government has announced
:06:03. > :06:05.that an inquiry will be held into the death of the Russian
:06:06. > :06:07.dissident Alexander Litvinenko. Mr Litvinenko, a former KGB officer,
:06:08. > :06:10.died in 2006 at a London hospital after he was allegedly poisoned with
:06:11. > :06:12.radioactive polonium. The investigation will examine
:06:13. > :06:39.whether the Russian state was Just remind people how he died?
:06:40. > :06:48.Eight years ago, Mr Litvinenko met with two Russian businessman at the
:06:49. > :06:57.time, also former KGB agents. Not KGB exactly, it was divided into two
:06:58. > :07:04.organisations. They were in the guard 's service. After meeting with
:07:05. > :07:09.them, he fell ill. That is when the polonium 210 poisoning was
:07:10. > :07:14.discovered, after several days. Both men managed to lead the country but
:07:15. > :07:20.also left radioactive traces, and that is how they were traced. UK
:07:21. > :07:24.investigators considered one to be the prime suspect, but the Russian
:07:25. > :07:30.authorities decided they were not going to extradite him despite
:07:31. > :07:34.requests. Since then, he has even been an elected member of Parliament
:07:35. > :07:40.and that makes him a big political figure. Relations called a bit at
:07:41. > :07:43.and that makes him a big political the time but then they warmed up
:07:44. > :07:48.again. What is the Russian reaction to this in the context of what is
:07:49. > :07:52.happening in the Ukraine? There has not been a reaction now but there
:07:53. > :08:01.will definitely be one as the enquiry progresses. People are
:08:02. > :08:04.noting the coincidence of the start of the enquiry together with the
:08:05. > :08:10.pressure Russia is under because of the MH 17 disaster. The British
:08:11. > :08:14.government is saying there is no link at all. It is hard to see a
:08:15. > :08:18.link, but the Russians see differently. They think it is a way
:08:19. > :08:24.to under play Russian foreign policy. It is interesting it is
:08:25. > :08:30.being announced today because there is a lot of pressure here about what
:08:31. > :08:35.the British government is doing. All the media in Russia are reporting
:08:36. > :08:38.that the whole thing will be be started, but also they note the
:08:39. > :08:46.previous investigation went to a dead-end because they think he has
:08:47. > :08:48.nothing to do with the death of Mr Litvinenko and there are lot of
:08:49. > :08:54.conspiracy theorists around the case. Marina Litvinenko says she is
:08:55. > :09:00.relieved and delighted there will be a public enquiry, saying, town -- no
:09:01. > :09:06.matter how strong and powerful you are, the truth will ring out. But if
:09:07. > :09:13.that had not happened, she would have to pay huge legal fees because
:09:14. > :09:18.she was insisting on continuing the case and she was refused. Now, what
:09:19. > :09:26.what happen is she will not have to pay legal fees. The case will
:09:27. > :09:34.continue and she hopes it will come to an end and justice will be
:09:35. > :09:35.served. We will have to see. I'm sure we will talk about this again
:09:36. > :09:38.soon. Israel has continued its bombardment
:09:39. > :09:40.of the Gaza Strip, hitting more than 70 targets overnight including
:09:41. > :09:42.mosques and a sports stadium. The Israeli military has confirmed
:09:43. > :09:44.that one of its soldiers is missing in Gaza,
:09:45. > :10:07.but said it believed he was dead. Our correspondent has been following
:10:08. > :10:12.this story injuries and. It is probably better to say they would
:10:13. > :10:17.regard him as missing presumed dead. They have not identified his remains
:10:18. > :10:22.so they cannot be certain. On Sunday night, how must put out a statement
:10:23. > :10:27.and showed an ID card of an Israeli soldier who they claimed to have
:10:28. > :10:32.captured, but we're not seeing any video or photographic evidence of
:10:33. > :10:37.that. It may be that they have retrieved his body or it may be
:10:38. > :10:42.indeed he is still alive. Either way, in the way of these things, it
:10:43. > :10:47.will be seen as a bargaining chip. Whether he is dead or alive, Israel
:10:48. > :10:51.will be determined to get him back, either for burial or obviously to
:10:52. > :10:56.reunite him with his family. It brings to mind a rather traumatic
:10:57. > :11:00.experience for Israelis of another soldier who is in custody in Gaza
:11:01. > :11:05.for five years. The significance of his release is that when he was
:11:06. > :11:13.released in 2011, it was in return for the release of hundreds and
:11:14. > :11:15.hundreds of Palestinian prisoners from Israeli jails. That is why

:12:11. > :12:16.largely an office building judging by all the papers that you can see
:12:17. > :12:20.around us. But, crucially, we are told people who had led other areas
:12:21. > :12:33.being shelled in previous days had sought shelter here thinking they
:12:34. > :12:48.might be safe. I lived in an area, but now that area is under attack,

:21:03. > :21:06.eighth grade, 14 years old, my parents decided to take me out of
:21:07. > :21:10.school and they forced me to get married because they were not able
:21:11. > :21:14.to pay my education expenditures. This made me worried because I
:21:15. > :21:20.wanted to do something better for me, for my family and my country. I
:21:21. > :21:24.was frightened to get married to an old person. That's why I was looking
:21:25. > :21:28.for someone to share this story and then I said this to my auntie, to
:21:29. > :21:34.see if she could help me. She was able to persuade my parents and said
:21:35. > :21:38.to my father, you cannot do this. She is too young and girls are not
:21:39. > :21:43.mentally and physically prepared at this stage. She was able to persuade
:21:44. > :21:48.my parents to not force me to marry. I felt very happy because I want to
:21:49. > :21:53.learn and do something better for me, for my family and my country.
:21:54. > :22:10.Are you still close to your parents now? Have they accepted what
:22:11. > :22:14.happened? Yes, they are very happy. They are supporting me, encouraging
:22:15. > :22:22.me and they are happy. In fact, I'm not going to school. I left studies
:22:23. > :22:26.to do education, but they are not force me to get married because they
:22:27. > :22:31.know the problems of child forced marriage. You have friends who were
:22:32. > :22:39.forced to get married when they were very young? Yes, I have a friend,
:22:40. > :22:49.Sonia, when she was 12 years old, she was forced to get married. The
:22:50. > :22:58.man was 45. Her father was not able to return money. Sonia got married
:22:59. > :23:03.and her father was not able to return his money and she got married
:23:04. > :23:11.to a man of 45. This happened because her father was very poor.
:23:12. > :23:14.Sonia said to her friends that her parents had shown an injustice to
:23:15. > :23:21.her. She wants to learn and play but she cannot do this. She is the
:23:22. > :23:26.mother of one baby at the age of 14. She wanted to change your dreams
:23:27. > :23:30.into reality. What do you think, in practical terms, can be done to try
:23:31. > :23:39.and stop this happening because it happens to millions of people in
:23:40. > :23:46.many cultures? OK, I think if the parents don't send their children to
:23:47. > :23:53.school, they are free at home, than their parents will suggest to them
:23:54. > :24:00.to get married, so I think there should be steps taken to reduce
:24:01. > :24:04.poverty and make some laws. There are many laws in Pakistan but
