:01:32. > :01:36.Hello, welcome. The death of Baha Mousa was one of the most appalling
:01:36. > :01:42.incidents of abuse by Western soldiers during the Iraq War. The
:01:42. > :01:44.young Iraqi hotel worker died after sustaining 93 external wounds
:01:44. > :01:49.whilst he was in the custody of British troops in the southern city
:01:49. > :01:53.of Basra. The language used by an independent public inquiry here was
:01:53. > :01:56.blunt. It said, his death had left a great stain on Britain's armed
:01:56. > :02:02.forces. Our world affairs correspondent Caroline Hawley has
:02:02. > :02:07.this report. In a makeshift detention facility
:02:07. > :02:11.eight years ago a killing that cast a shadow over the army's reputation.
:02:11. > :02:16.Baha Mousa had just lost his wife to cancer when he was detained by
:02:16. > :02:21.British troops. Over the next 36 hours he and nine other detainees
:02:21. > :02:28.were hooded, forced into painful positions and badly beaten. When
:02:28. > :02:34.Baha Mousa died he had 93 separate injuries. My judgment is that it
:02:34. > :02:37.constituted an appalling episode of serious, gratuitous violence on
:02:37. > :02:46.civilians which resulted in the death of one man and injuries to
:02:46. > :02:50.others. They represented a very serious breach of discipline.
:02:50. > :02:54.Footage from the detention facility shows Corporal Donald Payne
:02:54. > :02:59.shouting obscenities at the Iraqis. He is the only man to have been
:02:59. > :03:04.punished in any way for what happened here. The use of pudding
:03:04. > :03:09.and stress positions are against international law and had been
:03:09. > :03:13.banned by the British government in 1972 -- hoods. It was an Army major
:03:13. > :03:16.that instructed the soldiers to use them. The inquiry heard it was
:03:16. > :03:21.standard operating procedure. The report blamed they use on a
:03:21. > :03:24.corporate failure that the Ministry of Defence. It said that stress
:03:24. > :03:28.positions and hoods were wholly unacceptable in any circumstances.
:03:28. > :03:32.It also found that many soldiers had a sort of the Iraqis, even more
:03:32. > :03:37.had failed to intervene. There had been, it said, a lack of moral
:03:37. > :03:40.courage. It is clearly a truly shocking and appalling incident.
:03:40. > :03:44.Pictured not have happened. It should never be allowed to happen
:03:44. > :03:49.again. -- it should not have happened. The British Army should
:03:49. > :03:52.uphold the highest standards. inquiry found that Major Michael
:03:52. > :03:56.Peebles had news that detainees had been assaulted. He is accused of an
:03:56. > :03:59.acceptable failure. It said that if Lieutenant Craig Rodgers had acted
:03:59. > :04:04.when he first knew what was happening, Baha Mousa would almost
:04:04. > :04:07.certainly have survived. It found that the commander of the Regiment,
:04:07. > :04:10.Colonel Jorge Mendonca, ought to have known what was going on. And
:04:11. > :04:16.that Corporal Payne was a violent Paul Leigh who tried to cover up
:04:16. > :04:18.what he had done. No doubt the Director of Public Prosecutions and
:04:18. > :04:22.the Director of Public Service prosecutions are reading the report
:04:22. > :04:26.and they will be considering the war crimes of torture, inhumane
:04:26. > :04:30.treatment and submitting people to grossly humiliating behaviour.
:04:30. > :04:37.There is a number of people who have every reason to be very, very
:04:37. > :04:47.worried. Back in the Middle East family still grieving. Baha Mousa's
:04:47. > :04:49.
:04:49. > :04:54.father had to identify his son's body. In my heart I love Baha Mousa.
:04:54. > :04:58.He was a good son. Baha Mousa's two children are now growing up without
:04:58. > :05:04.a father. Today, the soldier who tried to resuscitate him expressed
:05:04. > :05:09.deep remorse. I could not say in enough words how sorry but only for
:05:09. > :05:13.myself but for those that were involved in his death, whether you
:05:13. > :05:19.hit him or you did not hit him, you have your responsibility for his
:05:19. > :05:22.desk that day. Baha Mousa is buried in Iraq's holiest city. Today's
:05:22. > :05:30.reporting to his death is a big step towards accountability but the
:05:30. > :05:35.scandal over what happened to him has not yet been laid to rest.
:05:35. > :05:38.The death of Mark -- of Baha Mousa was one of several examples of
:05:38. > :05:43.prisoner reduce by foreign troops during the past decade since the
:05:43. > :05:47.September 11th attacks. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and detention
:05:47. > :05:52.centre with the US in Guantanamo Bay have led to many criticisms of
:05:52. > :05:54.human rights abuses. Kurt Volker is a former US ambassador to NATO and
:05:54. > :06:00.also served in the Bush Administration and joins us from
:06:00. > :06:05.Washington. Kurt Volker, how far do you think George Bush's war on
:06:05. > :06:10.terror created a kind of climate whereby this kind of incident might
:06:10. > :06:15.have happened more recently, more readily? You know, I think it is
:06:16. > :06:21.wrong to blame it on a climate. I think when you look at the
:06:21. > :06:24.inquiry's report, he made a very clear. About the rules and
:06:25. > :06:28.procedures that are allowable and what are not allowable and making
:06:28. > :06:32.sure that is well known in advance and part of the training that will
:06:32. > :06:36.just get. We put soldiers and were very difficult climate, in a war-
:06:36. > :06:41.zone, they are there to conduct combat, people were trying to kill
:06:41. > :06:44.them. It is extremely stressful and they are asked to make decisions on
:06:44. > :06:48.a split second sometimes. A very difficult environment to be in.
:06:48. > :06:52.That is why it is so important they have clear routes -- rules and when
:06:52. > :06:55.abuses do happen, as we have had from American and British forces,
:06:55. > :06:58.it is important they be investigated and dealt with
:06:58. > :07:02.appropriately, but the key thing is to make sure the rules are clear.
:07:02. > :07:06.Just looking at the wider picture, ten years since the September 11th
:07:06. > :07:10.attacks, we did see in the war on terror things like detention
:07:10. > :07:15.without trial, you have the accusations of rendition,
:07:15. > :07:19.extraordinary rendition, the invasion of Iraq was illegal by
:07:19. > :07:23.make people's standards and so this kind of climate is not conducive
:07:23. > :07:27.necessarily to do the observance of civil liberties, if that is what
:07:27. > :07:31.the politicians are saying at the time? A think it is very important
:07:31. > :07:36.to get the legal frameworks right and did we have not yet done this.
:07:36. > :07:39.You have a gap between what is domestic criminal justice systems
:07:39. > :07:43.and protection of civil -- civil liberties and so forth, and you
:07:43. > :07:47.have an area where you are talking about the laws of armed conflict
:07:47. > :07:51.and war, and you're talking about terrorist groups, suicide bombers,
:07:51. > :07:56.Al-Qaeda, who do not follow the laws of war, do not belong to a
:07:56. > :08:01.state, do not wear uniforms, so we are forced into a grey area of how
:08:01. > :08:05.you deal with these situations. We have picked up people, held them as
:08:05. > :08:08.combatants in a conflict, in a normal war you would hold them to
:08:08. > :08:11.the end of the conflict, this is not a normal ward and we are not
:08:11. > :08:17.comfortable saying we will hold people forever but we don't know
:08:17. > :08:22.issues, there is ambiguity about treatment, certainly in the British
:08:22. > :08:25.cases we have heard, also true in American cases, where we have a
:08:25. > :08:30.clear prohibition against torture, where that line was drawn in terms
:08:30. > :08:34.of what is a tough interrogation officers what is more physical
:08:34. > :08:40.abuse, was not a clear line. That has since been clarified and the US
:08:40. > :08:43.system but I do think... You are talking there about the enhancing -
:08:43. > :08:48.- the enhanced Territt -- interrogation techniques, such as
:08:48. > :08:52.waterboarding, which some people call torture. Do you think the
:08:52. > :08:56.policies that we did see in the war on terror have actually resulted
:08:56. > :09:00.now in making the world a safer place? I think in a number of ways
:09:00. > :09:06.they have forced up in a number of ways we have seen terrible results
:09:06. > :09:10.at the same time. Life happens in the world. We have significantly
:09:10. > :09:14.weakened Al-Qaeda. Iraq now has a better government than it had under
:09:14. > :09:20.Saddam per se. It has suffered tremendously through a civil war
:09:20. > :09:23.however. You see people in the Arab world, the Muslim world, rise up to
:09:23. > :09:28.demand rights from the Rhone leaders in ways that was not the
:09:28. > :09:31.case before. They are being squeezed between this trap of on
:09:31. > :09:36.the one hand being accused of being Islamist terrorists come on the
:09:36. > :09:39.other hand seeing these harsh dictatorial regimes in their rent
:09:40. > :09:43.societies finally caused people to come out to say we demand better
:09:43. > :09:46.rights and freedoms in our own countries. I do think we are seeing
:09:46. > :09:51.in the Arab world right now one of the most hopeful things that we are
:09:51. > :09:56.seeing in this decade. Ambassador Kurt Volker, thank you for joining
:09:56. > :10:01.us from Washington. Now the other main use. NATO forces
:10:02. > :10:05.in Afghanistan have admitted that a BBC reporter killed in a July in

:10:15. > :10:19.in a suicide attack. Initial reports suggested he was killed by

:10:22. > :10:25.Bahrain, charged with incitement to overthrow the government earlier
:10:25. > :10:29.this year, have been released on bail. They were the last of 47
:10:29. > :10:33.staff at the main hospital in the capital Manama who had been accused

:11:02. > :11:04.the number of Russian bear characters -- carriers must be
:11:04. > :11:11.reduced radically. Steve Rosenberg reports.
:11:12. > :11:17.In the river to Russia are to search continued into the morning,

:11:21. > :11:26.had been due here for a political conference but he began his day
:11:26. > :11:30.here. At the sight of the air crash he laid roses and bowed his head in
:11:31. > :11:34.honour of the dead. Later President Medvedev criticised the safety
:11:34. > :11:37.record of Russian airlines. He warned that if his country could
:11:37. > :11:43.not produce reliable aircraft it would have to buy foreign aid
:11:43. > :11:51.planes. The Yak-42 jet had crashed here in a ball of flames soon after

:11:57. > :12:01.from one of Russia's Top ice hockey teams, Lokomotiv Yaroslavl. The
:12:01. > :12:07.team had a Canadian trainer and star players from Sweden, Slovakia
:12:07. > :12:11.and the Czech Republic. Today, the fans gathered outside the club's
:12:11. > :12:16.stadium. They laid fan -- flowers and lit candles and they stood
:12:16. > :12:19.staring in disbelief that their hockey team had been wiped out.
:12:19. > :12:23.Russians have grown used to hearing of these kinds of disasters in
:12:23. > :12:27.their country. Of planes crashing, pleasure boats sinking, but this

:12:48. > :12:52.He was given a suspended fine of 6,000 euros for a series of drunken
:12:52. > :12:56.outbursts against fellow customers in a Paris bar. John Galliano was
:12:56. > :13:02.sacked from the fashion house d'Or in March. The court also ordered
:13:02. > :13:05.him to pay a symbolic one euros win damages to each of his victims. ILA

:13:11. > :13:14.The king of high fashion ruined by anti-Semitic insults that cost him
:13:14. > :13:19.a million dollar career. Today, John Galliano's shame was complete,
:13:19. > :13:23.a guilty verdict of the suspended fine tells you that judges had
:13:23. > :13:26.certain sympathy. There is actually no penalty so to speak which is a
:13:26. > :13:30.very strong signed by the court because it shows the court took
:13:30. > :13:34.into account is sincere apology, the fact that Mr Galliano has
:13:34. > :13:37.entered treatment for his addiction. He was arrested in July over a
:13:37. > :13:41.series of complaints from people who he had abused. The court was
:13:41. > :13:45.shown a video filmed in a bar in which Mr Galliano was heard
:13:45. > :13:50.glorifying the Holocaust. On another occasion he told art
:13:50. > :13:53.curator Geraldine Bloch she had, a dirty Jewish face. The designer
:13:53. > :13:58.admitted on that particular night he had been drinking heavily at
:13:58. > :14:02.this bar. On a cocktail of Valium and sleeping pills. John Galliano
:14:02. > :14:05.was a regular at La Perle Bar but his behaviour, said staff, had
:14:05. > :14:09.become increasingly erratic. He told the court he had no
:14:09. > :14:12.recollection of the knights who was arrested but so common were these
:14:12. > :14:17.outbursts the chauffeur had instructions to call the designer's
:14:17. > :14:21.lawyer if the rows became too heated. Mr Galliano's friends
:14:21. > :14:26.blamed the workload. He oversaw 12 new collections the year for the
:14:26. > :14:29.Dior. The pressure dramatically decreased in 2007 with the death of
:14:29. > :14:34.his partner at first assistant, Stephen Robinson, who died of an
:14:35. > :14:40.overdose. -- increased. I think it is impossible for anybody to be
:14:40. > :14:46.creative and respond to these demands that are increasing on one
:14:46. > :14:50.single person. Of course Dior could also have accompanied him in a
:14:50. > :14:55.different manner, could have tried to replace his first assistant who
:14:55. > :14:59.was also his very, very close friend. He was fired by Dior after
:14:59. > :15:04.his arrest. This summer he did pick up a pencil to start Kate Moss's
:15:04. > :15:07.wedding dress, part of my creative therapy, he told Vogue magazine. As
:15:07. > :15:12.for Dior, they are yet to appoint his successor but the rumours are

:16:07. > :16:12.want to ensure that the next time a drought hits it does not cause a
:16:12. > :16:18.humanitarian catastrophe. Right now more than 13 million people across

:17:03. > :17:08.as save so Malawians we will talk to them. There is a glimmer of hope
:17:08. > :17:13.that the dire situation could provoke the warring factions to put
:17:13. > :17:17.aside their differences. Kenya's foreign minister says if expensive
:17:17. > :17:25.military campaigns could be funded by the West then surely money could
:17:25. > :17:30.be found to save lives. We are continuously reminding the rest of
:17:30. > :17:34.the world that if they can spend billions of dollars to drive out
:17:34. > :17:40.Gaddafi they can spell a little of that to save the dying people in
:17:40. > :17:45.the Horn of Africa. This crisis will not be solved by a few heads
:17:45. > :17:50.of State flying in to sign a bit of paper but it will remind the world
:17:50. > :17:53.that the famine is still causing misery for millions across this
:17:53. > :17:59.region and the humanitarian response will be needed for months
:18:00. > :18:04.to come. The United Nations envoy to Somalia took a break from those
:18:04. > :18:10.discussions at the gathering in Nairobi to talk to us. He told us
:18:10. > :18:16.that more donor funding is needed. There has been a very generous
:18:16. > :18:22.response so far but out of the estimated $1 billion that is
:18:22. > :18:29.required for the next six months to address the famine, or only 300
:18:29. > :18:38.million have been received so far. The effort is continuing. This
:18:39. > :18:43.meeting is very important to help reach the target. What is the key
:18:43. > :18:49.thing you want to see happen in this area to ensure people are not
:18:49. > :18:54.starving? Firstly we must have policies that are addressing the
:18:54. > :19:04.root causes of drought and implementing the measures that are
:19:04. > :19:05.
:19:05. > :19:10.needed in a full security, water management and land use. The whole
:19:10. > :19:14.question of pastoralists in this part of the world has -- who have
:19:14. > :19:18.lost their livestock in the past few months. We hear the Government
:19:18. > :19:23.are trying to speak to members of the rebel groups so that they can
:19:23. > :19:30.go to the areas where they are in control, is that the case and would
:19:30. > :19:34.that not be legitimising a militant group? Humanitarian access and
:19:34. > :19:44.security for humanitarian workers is one issue. Political
:19:44. > :19:45.
:19:45. > :19:52.negotiations is another. The group should renounce violence, laid down
:19:52. > :19:58.their arms and joined the peace process. There may be promising
:19:58. > :20:05.signals now that this is the moment and the opportunity where elements
:20:05. > :20:10.of the rebel group are again invited to come into the political
:20:10. > :20:18.discussions, this would be the time. The door remains open and an olive
:20:18. > :20:24.branch has been extended by the ruling Government and by the

:23:50. > :23:54.recession on the cards in the US? People have been talking about two
:23:54. > :23:59.recessions and a double Decker. I think we are looking at a period of
:23:59. > :24:03.slow growth which will take us a lot of time to generate that demand
:24:03. > :24:09.and see a return to the higher growth levels of earlier. This is
:24:09. > :24:15.not a recession, it is a severe contraction. What about printing
:24:15. > :24:19.more money? I think there is a lot of pressure for inflation all
:24:19. > :24:24.around the world because there are a lot of countries that have huge
:24:24. > :24:29.debts. Inflation is one way to make them go away. Countries such as

:24:41. > :24:45.terms of trade. Thank you. -- China are saying. It is a question that
:24:45. > :24:50.has baffled scientists for generations, how did we become
:24:50. > :24:54.human and who are our closest ancestors? Scientists in South
:24:54. > :25:00.Africa believe they may have found a hidden link between chimps and
:25:00. > :25:06.humans. They have been studying two skeletons which are more than 2

:25:12. > :25:18.humankind. It turns out that it may well be. These remains were found
:25:18. > :25:25.in a cave at the park. They are of an ape-like creature who lived 2
:25:25. > :25:34.million years ago. Research shows they are the most human-like tapes
:25:34. > :25:37.of their time. These hands may have been able to use tools. News Gans

:25:51. > :25:59.there are the potential origins of language, something that is looking
:25:59. > :26:04.like us. This is the story of human evolution so far. The first apes
:26:04. > :26:09.emerged 20 million years ago, then came three humans, apes with some
:26:10. > :26:15.human characteristics. Then came the first true Schumann's, this
:26:15. > :26:19.happened around 2 million years ago. The new species is thought to be
:26:19. > :26:29.right at the transition point between the human and Schumann.
:26:29. > :26:30.
:26:30. > :26:37.Some say it actually was the very first human. -- human. This new
:26:37. > :26:44.discovery challenges the theory that the first human arrived in
:26:44. > :26:50.East Africa. Scientists once thought there was a linear
:26:50. > :26:55.progression from monkey to ape to Schumann. We now know the picture
:26:55. > :27:01.was far more complicated. There were many similar species which
:27:01. > :27:08.became fewer over the years until there was just one, us. Never
:27:08. > :27:17.before have our origins been studied in so much detail. There
:27:17. > :27:23.are a deeper questions about what it truly means to be human. Now let
:27:23. > :27:28.us remind you of our main story. An independent inquiry here has
:27:28. > :27:32.concluded that British soldiers serving in Iraq took part in
:27:32. > :27:39.unjustified and brutal violence that led to the deaths of an Iraqi
:27:39. > :27:48.civilian. A sustained assault on the Baha Mousa and other detainees

:28:13. > :28:19.we have some warmth to end the week. It will be as sticky day tomorrow.
:28:19. > :28:25.The warmth is spreading up from the south. There will be some moist
:28:25. > :28:32.area and so coastal or hill fog. During the day tomorrow it will
:28:32. > :28:38.warm up. That comes after a morning of a good deal of cloud. These will
:28:38. > :28:43.see the sunshine breaking through the cloud. By 4 o'clock there is
:28:43. > :28:48.quite a difference in temperatures. Not necessarily clear blue skies
:28:48. > :28:53.but it will be brighter, warmer and more humid than it has been. There
:28:53. > :29:00.will be coastal fog on the south coast and into South Wales. We will
:29:00. > :29:05.see some patchy outbreaks of rain or showers developing here. If you
:29:05. > :29:10.catch a shower it could be on the heavy side, especially late in the
