I'm Sharanjit Leyl. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:06 | |
Our top stories: Vladimir Putin's
supporters nominate him to run | 0:00:06 | 0:00:08 | |
as an independent candidate in next
year's Russian elections. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:12 | |
His political rival
is barred from standing. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:22 | |
A British woman sentenced to three
years in jail in Egypt for taking | 0:00:22 | 0:00:26 | |
painkillers into the country. Her
sister is concerned for her safety. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:30 | |
She's on the verge of a mental
breakdown and so my mum. It's just | 0:00:30 | 0:00:35 | |
horrendous. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:37 | |
Counting votes in Liberia's | 0:00:37 | 0:00:38 | |
presidential election,
where former world footballer | 0:00:38 | 0:00:39 | |
of the year, George Weah,
is seeking the country's top job. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:44 | |
And we hear from the mum who beat
the professionals to capture | 0:00:44 | 0:00:47 | |
a perfect snap of Britain's young
royals at their | 0:00:47 | 0:00:49 | |
Christmas Day service. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:59 | |
Hello and welcome to World News
Today. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:05 | |
A group of Russian electors | 0:01:05 | 0:01:07 | |
have formally given their support
to Vladimir Putin as a candidate in | 0:01:07 | 0:01:09 | |
next year's Presidential election. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
Mr Putin is seeking a fourth term
in office, and will run | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
as an independent this time. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:22 | |
He still needs 300,000
signatures before his | 0:01:23 | 0:01:25 | |
nomination is confirmed. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:27 | |
On Monday, Putin's main rival,
opposition leader Alexei Navalny, | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
was barred from standing
in the election. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
But the move has already prompted
a call for an opposition | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
boycott, and raised fears
about political pluralism. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:36 | |
From Moscow, Sarah
Rainsford reports. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:46 | |
It was a big gathering of big names.
Athletes, musicians and film-makers | 0:01:46 | 0:01:51 | |
all here to nominate their candidate
for president. Absent though was the | 0:01:51 | 0:01:57 | |
man himself, Vladimir Putin
apparently so confident of winning | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
this election he didn't turn up. It
didn't dampen the enthusiasm of his | 0:02:00 | 0:02:10 | |
supporters. They voted unanimously
to back Mr Putin for a fourth term. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:17 | |
TRANSLATION: Our country has been
transformed from a country destroyed | 0:02:17 | 0:02:22 | |
and without a future into a really
powerful state. Their candidate | 0:02:22 | 0:02:31 | |
meanwhile was here with children
invited to a New Year 's party at | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
the Kremlin. This was Vladimir Putin
the benevolent, thinking of the | 0:02:34 | 0:02:43 | |
future of his country. Earlier
Russians saw images of Putin the | 0:02:43 | 0:02:48 | |
powerful with his Cabinet. Here he
told a boy that running a country | 0:02:48 | 0:02:55 | |
like Russia wasn't hard. But after
18 years of him doing just that, the | 0:02:55 | 0:03:00 | |
Kremlin is struggling to inject real
energy into this election race to | 0:03:00 | 0:03:04 | |
ensure people come out to vote when
everything is so predictable. This | 0:03:04 | 0:03:10 | |
man is now planning to make their
task even harder. Alexei Navalny | 0:03:10 | 0:03:15 | |
calls himself the only real rival to
Mr Putin, but this week the popular | 0:03:15 | 0:03:20 | |
anti-corruption campaigner was ruled
out of the presidential race. He has | 0:03:20 | 0:03:25 | |
a criminal conviction he says is
politically motivated. TRANSLATION: | 0:03:25 | 0:03:29 | |
It's not about me, it's about the
fact that a candidate is needed who | 0:03:29 | 0:03:33 | |
will finally come to be election and
speak openly about everything that | 0:03:33 | 0:03:36 | |
happens in our country now, who will
describe our reality honestly. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:42 | |
Absence of prospects, poverty, I did
that, and that's why you don't want | 0:03:42 | 0:03:47 | |
to let me take part in the election.
So now Mr Navalny is calling for a | 0:03:47 | 0:03:54 | |
boycott of the whole process to
undermine its legitimacy. Mr Putin | 0:03:54 | 0:03:58 | |
won't be too worried unless that
boycott and any street protests | 0:03:58 | 0:04:03 | |
really grow. Otherwise he is betting
that his message of strength and | 0:04:03 | 0:04:07 | |
stability and plenty more images
like these will secure him another | 0:04:07 | 0:04:11 | |
six years in power. Sarah Raynsford,
BBC News, Moscow. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:15 | |
A British woman has been sentenced
to three years in an Egyptian prison | 0:04:15 | 0:04:18 | |
after being found guilty
of smuggling drugs into the country. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:21 | |
Laura Plummer, who's 33
and from Hull, was arrested | 0:04:21 | 0:04:23 | |
in October when she was found
carrying 290 tablets | 0:04:23 | 0:04:25 | |
of the painkiller,
Tramadol, in her suitcase. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:27 | |
Daniela Relph reports. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:37 | |
Laura Plan A's family and friends
say she is naive, not a criminal -- | 0:04:37 | 0:04:42 | |
Laura Plummer. But today the shop
worker from powerless beginning a | 0:04:42 | 0:04:47 | |
three-year sentence in jail in
Egypt. Her mother, Roberta, and her | 0:04:47 | 0:04:53 | |
Egyptian partner, have been at court
to support her during the hearings | 0:04:53 | 0:04:56 | |
this week. Laura Plummer was
travelling to the red Sea resort of | 0:04:56 | 0:05:00 | |
her Garda to visit her husband Omar
in October when she was stopped by | 0:05:00 | 0:05:04 | |
the authorities. In her suitcase
were 290 tramadol tablets. A | 0:05:04 | 0:05:10 | |
painkiller legal on prescription in
Britain but banned in Egypt. She | 0:05:10 | 0:05:19 | |
said the tablets were for her
partner who suffers from severe back | 0:05:19 | 0:05:21 | |
pain. But she was arrested and has
been held since then in a communal | 0:05:21 | 0:05:24 | |
cell with up to 25 women. Her family
at home have described today's | 0:05:24 | 0:05:30 | |
sentence as horrendous. She's just a
normal girl who works in Hull | 0:05:30 | 0:05:35 | |
sentence as horrendous. She's just a
normal girl who works in Hull, she | 0:05:35 | 0:05:36 | |
sells clothes, she comes home and
watches telly, goes to bed, doesn't | 0:05:36 | 0:05:39 | |
drink or smoke or do anything, she
lives to go to Egypt, she loves | 0:05:39 | 0:05:44 | |
Egypt and Egyptian people, she's in
love with Omar, we just cannot | 0:05:44 | 0:05:48 | |
believe this has happened to her, we
are absolutely devastated. Laura | 0:05:48 | 0:05:58 | |
Plummer had been going on holiday to
Egypt's red Sea resorts for several | 0:05:58 | 0:06:01 | |
years, but for her supporters, she
has been let down by the country she | 0:06:01 | 0:06:04 | |
loved. This woman doesn't deserve to
be in incarcerated in an Egyptian | 0:06:04 | 0:06:07 | |
prison and to be honest, as much as
I respect the customs and laws of | 0:06:07 | 0:06:11 | |
Egypt and the judiciary, and
everything else, this will put | 0:06:11 | 0:06:15 | |
people off travelling on holiday to
Egypt in the future, and I think the | 0:06:15 | 0:06:20 | |
Egyptian authorities need to be
mindful of that. The Egyptian legal | 0:06:20 | 0:06:26 | |
system is complex. Laura Plummer
will now appeal the three-year | 0:06:26 | 0:06:30 | |
sentence. A jail term her family say
is shocking and unjust. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:36 | |
Let's take a look at some of
the other stories making the news. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:39 | |
Angry Kosovans hung hundreds
of neckties on the fence | 0:06:39 | 0:06:41 | |
outside the government's
headquarters on Tuesday. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:43 | |
This after Prime Minister Ramush
Haradinaj said he was justified | 0:06:43 | 0:06:46 | |
to double his own salary
because wearing smart clothes | 0:06:46 | 0:06:48 | |
was part of his job. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:49 | |
He sparked outrage by passing
a measure raising his salary | 0:06:49 | 0:06:51 | |
from about 1,800 dollars
to 3,500 dollars a month. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:59 | |
A Peruvian football official accused
of taking bribes has been cleared | 0:06:59 | 0:07:01 | |
by a jury in the US. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:03 | |
Manuel Burga, who led
football in Peru until 2014, | 0:07:03 | 0:07:05 | |
was accused of taking cash
in exchange for distributing | 0:07:05 | 0:07:07 | |
marketing and media
rights to matches. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:09 | |
Two other South American football
officials were convicted | 0:07:09 | 0:07:11 | |
by the same jury on Friday. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:21 | |
Polls have closed in Liberia's
delayed presidential run-off. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:23 | |
It's hoped the election will see
the country's first smooth | 0:07:23 | 0:07:26 | |
democratic transition
of power in 73 years. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:28 | |
Voters are choosing
between the former international | 0:07:28 | 0:07:35 | |
footballer George Weah,
seen here, casting his vote, | 0:07:35 | 0:07:37 | |
and current vice
president, Joseph Boakai. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:38 | |
Mr Weah won the first
round but did not secure the 50% | 0:07:38 | 0:07:41 | |
needed for an outright victory. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:42 | |
Both candidates said
they were confident they would win. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:44 | |
Our correspondent Umaru Fofana
reports from near Monrovia. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:54 | |
I am here at a high school just
outside Monrovia. During the first | 0:07:56 | 0:08:03 | |
ballot on the 10th of October, this
place was teeming with long queues | 0:08:03 | 0:08:08 | |
of photos waiting patiently to cast
their ballot this time of day. Today | 0:08:08 | 0:08:13 | |
they are coming in only in trickles.
We are not sure why this apparent | 0:08:13 | 0:08:18 | |
low turnout is, but civil service
election observers say it could be | 0:08:18 | 0:08:23 | |
attributable to the fact that there
was legal wrangling for today's vote | 0:08:23 | 0:08:26 | |
which meant campaigning was very
brief, just a few days, and also | 0:08:26 | 0:08:30 | |
they say it is a two horse race, two
candidates as opposed to the 20 in | 0:08:30 | 0:08:35 | |
October as well as the parliamentary
candidates not here this time. As | 0:08:35 | 0:08:39 | |
you can see the election officials
here are not as busy today as they | 0:08:39 | 0:08:44 | |
were in October. This is a sample I
have seen of polling stations in | 0:08:44 | 0:08:51 | |
underground Monro via. It is not
clear whether this apparent low | 0:08:51 | 0:08:56 | |
turnout will favour other
candidates. Umaru Fofana, BBC News, | 0:08:56 | 0:09:01 | |
just outside Monrovia. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:09 | |
Once a key industry in many
countries around the world, | 0:09:09 | 0:09:11 | |
cotton spinning has made a return
here in the UK. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:14 | |
A Manchester mill is the only
textile factory to spin | 0:09:14 | 0:09:16 | |
cotton commercially again. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:17 | |
Judith Moritz followed
the whole process. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:19 | |
Fresh off the boat from California,
Cotton has come back to its | 0:09:19 | 0:09:23 | |
spiritual home. Refurbished and
re-energised, this Manchester mill | 0:09:23 | 0:09:28 | |
is the first in the UK to spin
commercially again. For the first | 0:09:28 | 0:09:35 | |
time in 50 years, Cotton is in full
production. It's really really | 0:09:35 | 0:09:40 | |
engaged the weavers and finishes and
dyers to pull together and forge | 0:09:40 | 0:09:45 | |
those chains back again, and there
is honestly an enormous appetite for | 0:09:45 | 0:09:51 | |
provenance and British made. We are
following the process as the cotton | 0:09:51 | 0:09:57 | |
spun here finds its way from the
bail to the clothes hanger. From its | 0:09:57 | 0:10:04 | |
raw state to spun yarn... | 0:10:04 | 0:10:05 | |
That's for you. What happens now? We
are going to turn it into the dye | 0:10:11 | 0:10:16 | |
house put it on a stand, bleach it,
diet and dry it. This yarn diet is | 0:10:16 | 0:10:24 | |
used to source -- dyers used a
source it's got an overseas, now | 0:10:24 | 0:10:27 | |
Tony travel 30 miles. Turn pink,
it's time to take the yarn up to | 0:10:27 | 0:10:33 | |
Burnley to be woven. The
resurrection of a cotton process | 0:10:33 | 0:10:37 | |
comes at a good time for the
industry. BBC News and the trade | 0:10:37 | 0:10:42 | |
body make it British spoke to almost
100 textile businesses to see how | 0:10:42 | 0:10:48 | |
their 27 in has-been. 30% say they
are exporting more British made | 0:10:48 | 0:10:53 | |
goods than last year. There is
concern about the age of the | 0:10:53 | 0:10:56 | |
workforce. Two thirds have staff
whose average age is over 40. But | 0:10:56 | 0:11:00 | |
overall the news is positive. 50%
are turning over more than a year | 0:11:00 | 0:11:04 | |
ago. The factory weaving our pink
cloth is a good example. It's really | 0:11:04 | 0:11:14 | |
healthy on the books, so the next
six months is looking great. So much | 0:11:14 | 0:11:18 | |
so that we are now having to put on
extra shifts and recruit additional | 0:11:18 | 0:11:22 | |
staff. Here you are. Back in
Manchester are cloth is ready to be | 0:11:22 | 0:11:27 | |
made into a shirt. Cut, pressed,
stitched, and finished at this | 0:11:27 | 0:11:34 | |
factory, one of the few of its kind
to survive. I don't think we will | 0:11:34 | 0:11:39 | |
ever see a return to the halcyon
days of cotton but there is huge | 0:11:39 | 0:11:43 | |
opportunities for businesses and
brands like ours to create | 0:11:43 | 0:11:48 | |
sustainable, viable and ultimately
profitable businesses by making them | 0:11:48 | 0:11:51 | |
in the UK and selling to an
international market. Spun, died, | 0:11:51 | 0:11:58 | |
woven and stitched, the cotton
process has been sewn back together | 0:11:58 | 0:12:02 | |
again. Our journey behind the scenes
ends with a shirt made from local | 0:12:02 | 0:12:06 | |
yarn. Judith Moritz, BBC News,
Manchester. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:13 | |
Stay with us on BBC
World News, still to come: | 0:12:13 | 0:12:16 | |
English footballer, Harry Kane,
smashes a 22-year-old record | 0:12:16 | 0:12:18 | |
for most Premier League goals scored
in a calendar year. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:25 | |
We saw this enormous tidal wave
approaching the beach, and people | 0:12:30 | 0:12:35 | |
started to run, and suddenly it was
complete chaos. US troops have been | 0:12:35 | 0:12:42 | |
trying to overthrow the dictatorship
of General Noriega. The Pentagon | 0:12:42 | 0:12:46 | |
said it was 90% successful but
failed in its principal objective to | 0:12:46 | 0:12:50 | |
capture Noriega and taken to the USA
on drugs charges. The hammer and | 0:12:50 | 0:12:55 | |
sickle was hastily taken away, the
Russian flag hoisted over what is | 0:12:55 | 0:12:58 | |
now no longer the Sobhi unit but the
Commonwealth of Independent States. | 0:12:58 | 0:13:02 | |
Day broke slowly over Lockerbie,
over the cockpit nose down in the | 0:13:02 | 0:13:09 | |
earth. You could see what happens
when a plane eight stories high, a | 0:13:09 | 0:13:13 | |
football pitch wide, falls from
30,000 feet. Christmas has returned | 0:13:13 | 0:13:18 | |
to Albania after a common spam
lasting more than 20 years. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:21 | |
Thousands went to midnight mass in
this town where there were | 0:13:21 | 0:13:25 | |
anti-Communist riots ten days ago. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:31 | |

The latest headlines:
Vladimir Putin's supporters nominate | 0:13:35 | 0:13:36 | |
him to run as an independent
candidate in next year's elections. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:39 | |
His political rival
is barred from standing. | 0:13:39 | 0:13:41 | |
A British woman has been sentenced
to three years in jail in Egypt | 0:13:41 | 0:13:44 | |
for taking painkillers
into the country. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:54 | |
English footballer, Harry Kane,
has set a new record of 39 goals | 0:13:56 | 0:14:01 | |
in the Premier League in a calendar
year doing it in style, | 0:14:01 | 0:14:04 | |
with a hat trick at Wembley. | 0:14:04 | 0:14:07 | |
Kane headed in a free kick
from Christian Eriksen to give | 0:14:07 | 0:14:10 | |
Tottenham Hotspur a 1-0 lead over
Southampton and break | 0:14:10 | 0:14:12 | |
Alan Shearer's 22-year-old record. | 0:14:12 | 0:14:13 | |
A second goal followed just before
half time as he swept | 0:14:13 | 0:14:15 | |
in a cross from Son Heung-min. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:17 | |
And midway through the second half,
Son was again provider, | 0:14:17 | 0:14:19 | |
as Kane completed his hat trick
with a delicate chip | 0:14:19 | 0:14:22 | |
over the keeper. | 0:14:22 | 0:14:23 | |
That takes his haul for club
and country to 56 goals, | 0:14:23 | 0:14:25 | |
making him the leading goalscorer
in Europe for 2017. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:34 | |
Earlier the BBC spoke
to Bradley Allen. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:36 | |
He has been a coach at Spurs
for 13 years, and coached | 0:14:36 | 0:14:39 | |
Harry Kane as a youngster. | 0:14:39 | 0:14:40 | |
He also witnessed Harry Kane
make history at Wembley | 0:14:40 | 0:14:42 | |
as a co-commentator for BBC Radio
London. | 0:14:42 | 0:14:48 | |
My colleague Geeta Guru-Murthy
began by asking him | 0:14:48 | 0:14:50 | |
what he made of his new record? | 0:14:50 | 0:14:58 | |
It's a remarkable achievement, and
something that all of Tottenham | 0:14:58 | 0:15:01 | |
Hotspur supporters, everyone
connected with the club, the Academy | 0:15:01 | 0:15:05 | |
and all the coaches and people who
have worked with Harry on this | 0:15:05 | 0:15:08 | |
incredible journey he is on, it it
has been an outstanding 2017. Have | 0:15:08 | 0:15:15 | |
you spoken to them or has anyone
heard from him since? I have not had | 0:15:15 | 0:15:19 | |
the opportunity to watch him live
this afternoon working in my media | 0:15:19 | 0:15:25 | |
capacity -- I watched him live, and
having seen him develop and worked | 0:15:25 | 0:15:30 | |
with him as a 14, 15-year-old and go
from strength to strength and become | 0:15:30 | 0:15:37 | |
the goal-scoring expert he now is,
and to break the Alan Shearer record | 0:15:37 | 0:15:43 | |
himself was one of the finest of his
generation -- who was one of the | 0:15:43 | 0:15:49 | |
finest of his generation, it is an
unbelievable achievement. Did you | 0:15:49 | 0:15:52 | |
spot it early, whether signs there?
Well, Harry showed glimpses. I think | 0:15:52 | 0:16:01 | |
one of the biggest condiments I
could give him was that he was just | 0:16:01 | 0:16:04 | |
a fantastic learner, just a small
part that all the coaches played | 0:16:04 | 0:16:09 | |
along the way ahead of our academy,
John McDermott, deserve an awful lot | 0:16:09 | 0:16:15 | |
of credit as well. We were patient
with him, and obviously since | 0:16:15 | 0:16:20 | |
Pocchetino came to the club, he has
allowed Harry to blossom and | 0:16:20 | 0:16:27 | |
flourish as a footballer. Can you
explain what it is exactly that he | 0:16:27 | 0:16:31 | |
does so well, is its strength also
beat all skill, what is it then | 0:16:31 | 0:16:36 | |
makes him so good? I think he
doubled up any tips or ideas he was | 0:16:36 | 0:16:45 | |
given he would be prepared to work
on those aspects of his game and | 0:16:45 | 0:16:48 | |
more. I think a player of Frank
Lampard's magnitude, Frank was one | 0:16:48 | 0:16:58 | |
who got the maximum out of the
ability he had, and similarly with | 0:16:58 | 0:17:04 | |
young Harry. He comes from a
tremendously stable, very supportive | 0:17:04 | 0:17:09 | |
family, he's just a lovely, humble
young man, and he's a real credit to | 0:17:09 | 0:17:14 | |
himself and the people around him.
How big is his future career | 0:17:14 | 0:17:18 | |
potentially, do you think? This
achievement is exceptional and I | 0:17:18 | 0:17:24 | |
think the Tottenham supporters will
be really hoping that in future | 0:17:24 | 0:17:28 | |
years the new stadium on the horizon
in 2018, that Harry Kane will be | 0:17:28 | 0:17:37 | |
playing his best football at that
new venue. I think you have the | 0:17:37 | 0:17:41 | |
World Cup in Russia of course next
summer, and to be truly regarded as | 0:17:41 | 0:17:47 | |
one of the greats, Harry would most
definitely know that he would have | 0:17:47 | 0:17:51 | |
to to achieve and produce at the
biggest tournaments, so I think he | 0:17:51 | 0:17:56 | |
will be looking forward to that, but
first and foremost he loves playing | 0:17:56 | 0:18:00 | |
for Tottenham Hotspur and just
thoroughly enjoys scoring goals. | 0:18:00 | 0:18:06 | |
Cricket and on the opening day
of the Boxing Day test | 0:18:06 | 0:18:09 | |
between Australia and England
in Melbourne, Australia's batsmen | 0:18:09 | 0:18:10 | |
have made the visitors work hard. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:12 | |
Australia elected to bat
on a slow wicket and by close | 0:18:12 | 0:18:15 | |
of play they'd reached 244-3. | 0:18:15 | 0:18:17 | |
David Warner scored 103 and captain
Steve Smith is unbeaten on 65. | 0:18:17 | 0:18:20 | |
Patrick Gearey reports, from outside
the Melbourne Cricket Ground. | 0:18:20 | 0:18:29 | |
The Boxing Day test is a day of
national celebration for Australia. | 0:18:34 | 0:18:37 | |
Given they have won the Ashes
already, it would always be a tough | 0:18:37 | 0:18:41 | |
day for England and they knew it
would get tougher when they lost the | 0:18:41 | 0:18:45 | |
toss and got put into field on a day
which suited the batting side. The | 0:18:45 | 0:18:49 | |
weather was hot, the pitch flat, and
David Warner smashed the ball as he | 0:18:49 | 0:18:54 | |
got Australia to 100 by the lunch
interval. England brought it back | 0:18:54 | 0:18:58 | |
getting rid of Bancroft, thought
they got rid of one run 99 when he | 0:18:58 | 0:19:01 | |
locked up a catch which would have
given the first Test wicket to Tom | 0:19:01 | 0:19:06 | |
Curran. Unfortunately he had
overstepped the line and it was a no | 0:19:06 | 0:19:10 | |
ball, came Warner, next ball went to
his century and the MCG roared in | 0:19:10 | 0:19:14 | |
approval. Warner didn't last much
longer, caught behind off Anderson, | 0:19:14 | 0:19:18 | |
then Stuart Broad got rid of the
Usman Khawaja and his nick next ball | 0:19:18 | 0:19:22 | |
thought he got rid of Marsh LBW. The
umpire said no and the review backed | 0:19:22 | 0:19:27 | |
it. A big moment because Marge then
batted through with Captain Steve | 0:19:27 | 0:19:40 | |
Smith to the close. Smith unbeaten,
beginning to look unbeatable. | 0:19:41 | 0:19:43 | |
England need to find a way of
getting him out but this picture is | 0:19:43 | 0:19:45 | |
very slow and hard work for the
bowlers. This Test match might be | 0:19:45 | 0:19:48 | |
decided by which team makes the most
mistakes and unfortunately for | 0:19:48 | 0:19:50 | |
England they have made more of them
in this Ashes Series. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:52 | |
Formula One world champion
Lewis Hamilton has apologised | 0:19:52 | 0:19:56 | |
after sharing a video on Instagram
criticising his nephew | 0:19:56 | 0:19:58 | |
for wearing a dress. | 0:19:58 | 0:19:59 | |
In the video, which has since been
deleted, the Formula 1 driver says | 0:19:59 | 0:20:02 | |
"boys don't wear princess dresses". | 0:20:02 | 0:20:03 | |
The post was then the subject
of an online backlash. | 0:20:03 | 0:20:06 | |
Hamilton later made an apology
in a series of tweets, | 0:20:06 | 0:20:08 | |
calling his behaviour unacceptable. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:09 | |
Peru is divided over
the legacy of its former | 0:20:09 | 0:20:11 | |
president, Alberto Fujimori. | 0:20:11 | 0:20:17 | |
Some see him as the man
who saved Peru from economic | 0:20:17 | 0:20:19 | |
collapse and communism. | 0:20:19 | 0:20:20 | |
To others, he was a ruthless
autocrat who authorised | 0:20:20 | 0:20:22 | |
death squad killings. | 0:20:23 | 0:20:24 | |
He had been serving a 25-year prison
term for human rights abuses. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:33 | |
But the current President,
Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, | 0:20:33 | 0:20:35 | |
has granted him a medical pardon. | 0:20:35 | 0:20:36 | |
In a video posted to Facebook,
Fujimori said he's deeply grateful. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:39 | |
Take a look. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:46 | |
TRANSLATION: This has had a strong
impact on me. I have mixed feelings | 0:20:46 | 0:20:51 | |
of extreme joy and at the same time
sorrow. I am aware the results | 0:20:51 | 0:20:55 | |
produced by my government were well
received by some but I recognise | 0:20:55 | 0:20:59 | |
that I have let others down. To them
I ask forgiveness from the bottom of | 0:20:59 | 0:21:03 | |
my heart. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:04 | |
Michael Reid is a senior editor
on Latin America at The Economist. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:06 | |
He joins me from Lima. | 0:21:06 | 0:21:11 | |
Welcome to the programme. As I
mentioned, you are in Lima right | 0:21:11 | 0:21:15 | |
now. We know thousands have taken to
the streets to protest. Tell us what | 0:21:15 | 0:21:20 | |
the mood feels like there right now.
I think the announcement that former | 0:21:20 | 0:21:28 | |
president Fujimori would be
pardoned, which came at seven | 0:21:28 | 0:21:33 | |
o'clock on Christmas Eve, the main
celebration here, was a huge | 0:21:33 | 0:21:38 | |
surprise to people. Demonstrators
took to the streets on Christmas Day | 0:21:38 | 0:21:41 | |
in quite large numbers. I think
there will be continuing protests | 0:21:41 | 0:21:44 | |
but I think just as important will
be the reaction of political opinion | 0:21:44 | 0:21:49 | |
here, and indeed internationally. As
you mentioned, here's a divisive | 0:21:49 | 0:21:56 | |
figure, and many protesters believe
this pardon was somehow illegally | 0:21:56 | 0:21:59 | |
brought about. What is the general
opinion amongst people you are | 0:21:59 | 0:22:03 | |
talking to? It was always going to
be controversial relating to Alberto | 0:22:03 | 0:22:10 | |
Fujimori. He has been in jail for
more than ten years and was found | 0:22:10 | 0:22:14 | |
guilty in an exemplary process of
human rights violations and | 0:22:14 | 0:22:17 | |
corruption, but the circumstances in
which the pardon came about are very | 0:22:17 | 0:22:27 | |
suspicious too many Peruvians
because it came just three days | 0:22:27 | 0:22:31 | |
after a vote in Congress in which
President Kuczynski survived an | 0:22:31 | 0:22:39 | |
attempt to impeach him thanks to the
abstention of ten Fujimori | 0:22:39 | 0:22:44 | |
supporting congresspeople led by his
son. So it looks to many Peruvians | 0:22:44 | 0:22:51 | |
like quid pro quo, and a rather
sordid one, however much the | 0:22:51 | 0:22:55 | |
government claims its main
motivation was that it was worried | 0:22:55 | 0:23:00 | |
by Fujimori's deteriorating health
and didn't want him to die in jail. | 0:23:00 | 0:23:04 | |
To what extent do you think the
current government and President | 0:23:04 | 0:23:08 | |
Kuczynski are in a weakened state as
a result of all this? He is an | 0:23:08 | 0:23:14 | |
extremely weakened state, there is
no doubt about that. He only | 0:23:14 | 0:23:19 | |
survived, just, the attempt to
impeach him, which was, one has to | 0:23:19 | 0:23:24 | |
say, an attempt at political
vengeance by the Fujimori supporting | 0:23:24 | 0:23:32 | |
majority in Congress. He has only a
small group of supporters in the | 0:23:32 | 0:23:36 | |
Congress. He survived that vote by
appealing to the countries as a | 0:23:36 | 0:23:43 | |
Democrat being faced with a
parliamentary coup by what he | 0:23:43 | 0:23:48 | |
portrayed as the undemocratic
Fujimoristas. People who gave him | 0:23:48 | 0:23:53 | |
the benefit of the doubt and
supported him now feel he betrayed | 0:23:53 | 0:24:00 | |
them by immediately turning round
and pardoning Alberto Fujimori. I | 0:24:00 | 0:24:04 | |
feel if this had happened in more
normal circumstances the reaction | 0:24:04 | 0:24:07 | |
might have been slightly different.
Thank you for joining us. | 0:24:07 | 0:24:13 | |
Out of all the photographers waiting
to snap a picture of the royal | 0:24:13 | 0:24:16 | |
family at the Christmas Day service
in Sandringham, it was a mum | 0:24:16 | 0:24:19 | |
from Norfolk who managed to capture
the perfect image on her phone. | 0:24:19 | 0:24:22 | |
The photograph taken
by Karen Murdoch has now been | 0:24:22 | 0:24:24 | |
used by publications
from all over the world. | 0:24:24 | 0:24:26 | |
Mike Cartwright reports. | 0:24:26 | 0:24:33 | |
The photograph that's gone
everywhere. The picture that | 0:24:33 | 0:24:38 | |
everybody wanted. Taken not by the
press pack or a royal photographer | 0:24:38 | 0:24:42 | |
but Karen at Sandringham with her
daughter on her phone. The two of | 0:24:42 | 0:24:47 | |
them and their dog back there today.
That picture all over the papers. It | 0:24:47 | 0:24:55 | |
wasn't intentional, it just captured
the right moment at that time, so | 0:24:55 | 0:24:59 | |
there was no planning, it was just
fun, it was lovely, I caught the | 0:24:59 | 0:25:04 | |
moment and it was great. Somewhere
in the crowd the two had been here | 0:25:04 | 0:25:08 | |
on Christmas Day before but they
wanted to see Meghan. Walking to | 0:25:08 | 0:25:12 | |
church, the Duke and Duchess of
Cambridge, Prince Harry Haryanto | 0:25:12 | 0:25:17 | |
Meghan Markle. Karen never dreamt
she would get this, a picture that | 0:25:17 | 0:25:22 | |
may go down in history and help pay
her daughter's college fees. I don't | 0:25:22 | 0:25:26 | |
know how much I am expected to get.
A bit I am told. Anything, for me, | 0:25:26 | 0:25:32 | |
when someone offered me £50 I was
like, yes! 50 quid, I was just so... | 0:25:32 | 0:25:39 | |
But it's going to go on my daughter,
I work for my daughter, my pride and | 0:25:39 | 0:25:44 | |
joy. I think it's fantastic. I think
my mum deserves it. I know she | 0:25:44 | 0:25:50 | |
didn't do it intentionally but good
things happen to good people. Good | 0:25:50 | 0:25:54 | |
for her, great snap. You've been
watching World News Today. Thanks | 0:25:54 | 0:25:57 | |
for watching. | 0:25:57 | 0:26:02 |
