:01:20. > :01:24.Hello and welcome. The Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has
:01:24. > :01:29.confirmed he will go to the UN Security Council next week to ask
:01:29. > :01:34.for a full UN membership. It is a bold move because it would amount
:01:34. > :01:39.to an implicit recognition of state of. Washington has already said it
:01:39. > :01:44.will veto any such vote, set in the Palestinians on a collision course.
:01:44. > :01:51.International, televised address, Mahmoud Abbas said he will apply
:01:51. > :01:54.for a state within the 1967 borders with east Jerusalem as its capital.
:01:54. > :01:59.Here is Jeremy Bowen. The campaign for a Palestinian
:01:59. > :02:03.membership of the UN stopped the traffic in a manner in the Israeli
:02:03. > :02:10.occupied West Bank. Israel and the Americans say going to the UN could
:02:10. > :02:17.put a stop to any chance of peace. President Mahmoud Abbas, and a
:02:17. > :02:20.speech broadcast live from Ramallah, announced his determination to go
:02:20. > :02:24.ahead with an application be Americans say they will veto.
:02:24. > :02:28.TRANSLATION: We are going to the UN to ask for the legitimate right of
:02:28. > :02:37.full membership. We will take with us the suffering and hope of our
:02:37. > :02:43.people. He rejected criticism he wanted to not legitimise Israel. He
:02:43. > :02:48.said the occupation and settlement of the lands Israel captured in
:02:48. > :02:52.1967 is that what Palestinians want as a state. Palestinians say they
:02:52. > :02:56.have rehearsed long enough. Their security forces on another practice
:02:56. > :03:03.run are ready for independence, they say, along with all the other
:03:03. > :03:06.institutions a state needs. But Israel's stubbornness, the
:03:06. > :03:13.President said, mean that decisions are at a dead end, so they are
:03:13. > :03:18.turning to the UN. Israel's campaign against includes a video,
:03:18. > :03:24.blaming the Palestinians for not accepting a Jewish state. What
:03:24. > :03:29.about security arrangements? What about Jerusalem? It all needs to be
:03:29. > :03:35.in an agreement. In an agreement you give and take. In a resolution
:03:35. > :03:40.they just take. This is a big mistake. This is not what it seems.
:03:40. > :03:45.Both sides are Israelis. They are rehearsing for an attack by
:03:45. > :03:49.Palestinians on a Jewish settlement in the West Bank. Many Israelis
:03:49. > :03:54.predict a UN vote will touch of such violence. The ingredients of
:03:54. > :03:58.this conflict are always the same. What the Palestinians are trying to
:03:58. > :04:04.do is to change the diplomatic game decisively in their favour. It is a
:04:04. > :04:07.risky strategy, given the hostility of the Israelis and the Americans.
:04:07. > :04:12.The talk of imminent violence may be overdone, but there is no doubt
:04:12. > :04:16.the temperature is rising again. The conflict is going to continue
:04:16. > :04:23.whatever happens next week. The question is whether the
:04:23. > :04:28.Palestinian-UN tactic makes matters better or worse.
:04:28. > :04:33.Let's talk about the implications of the announcement. We are joint
:04:33. > :04:36.from Washington by Ghaith al Omari, a former adviser to Mahmoud Abbas
:04:36. > :04:44.and executive director of the American Task Force on Palestine.
:04:44. > :04:49.Will it make matters worse or better? This as you said raises the
:04:49. > :04:54.stakes. We are in a game of diplomatic chicken, classic and
:04:54. > :04:59.brinkmanship. Everybody will be raising the stakes publicly as
:04:59. > :05:07.intensive activity happens behind the scenes to reach a compromise.
:05:07. > :05:12.The Palestinians might face loss of services on the ground, the
:05:12. > :05:17.Israelis might be isolated, and the UN may be divided. Let's have a
:05:17. > :05:23.look at the Palestinians. It is a unilateral move. The Americans and
:05:23. > :05:26.the Israelis have said that they cannot do that, they have to have
:05:26. > :05:32.they no decision process. But Mahmoud Abbas says in the end, we
:05:32. > :05:35.are going to have made associations. What is he playing at? So he
:05:35. > :05:40.believes in negotiation. He is someone who has spent his whole
:05:40. > :05:45.life advocating negotiations. But there is a sense of frustration.
:05:46. > :05:50.Things have been stalled by reality on the ground and they have been
:05:50. > :05:57.changing in terms of settlement building. He is trying to remind
:05:57. > :06:01.the world that it still exists. The question to ask his do the
:06:01. > :06:05.Palestinians stand to gain or to lose? They are the weaker party in
:06:06. > :06:10.this formula and they might end up losing more than they gain.
:06:10. > :06:15.Washington is unhappy, Congress, of course, and they find a great deal
:06:15. > :06:20.of activities on the West Bank. That money could be threatened if
:06:20. > :06:23.he carries on with theirs. absolutely. I have been involved in
:06:23. > :06:27.the peace process for a long time and I have seen diplomatic
:06:27. > :06:32.disagreements come and go. But there is one thing that has been
:06:32. > :06:36.happening on the ground over the last couple of years. In terms of
:06:36. > :06:40.improving the economy, the institution building and relied,
:06:40. > :06:47.this might be the ultimate victim of this move and that would be
:06:47. > :06:52.truly tragic. That institution building project is working. What
:06:52. > :06:56.about a compromise, a water down membership of the UN, and observers
:06:56. > :07:06.stayed for the Palestinians, like the Vatican? There are many
:07:06. > :07:08.
:07:08. > :07:13.similarities. These are being proposed. Tony Blair has been
:07:13. > :07:19.having great efforts to propose ideas. There is a great chance for
:07:19. > :07:26.that. At the end of the day, this is a diplomatic blip and we go back
:07:26. > :07:29.to what will ease matters, getting a closer solution. It has been far
:07:29. > :07:35.easier for Libya's interim Government to get their seat at the
:07:35. > :07:39.UN, despite opposition from some African and Latin American members.
:07:39. > :07:42.The National Transitional Council now hold their seat at the General
:07:42. > :07:48.Assembly. Libyan forces backing the interim Government are renewing
:07:48. > :07:53.their attacks on Sirte and Bani Walid, another one of Gaddafi's few
:07:53. > :08:01.remaining strongholds. In Bani Walid fighters have pulled back
:08:01. > :08:09.under heavy fire. Richard Galpin has this report. This new assault
:08:09. > :08:13.on Bani Walid began early in the morning. Fighters loyal to the
:08:13. > :08:18.interim Government picking their way through the streets, trying to
:08:19. > :08:27.push forward towards their goal, the town centre. But it is slow and
:08:27. > :08:32.dangerous. Close by are Colonel Gaddafi's snipers and other gunmen.
:08:32. > :08:39.There may be more fighters involved in the attack this time, but it is
:08:39. > :08:43.still proving to be a tough fight for control of what is a key town.
:08:44. > :08:49.A new front has also opened up in the battle for the strategic
:08:49. > :08:54.coastal town of Sirte, Colonel Gaddafi's birthplace. Thousands of
:08:54. > :08:58.fighters closing in from the west and south. They are breaking
:08:58. > :09:05.through the outer defences, getting to within a few miles of the centre
:09:05. > :09:09.and taking control of the airport. But here they are facing fierce
:09:09. > :09:13.resistance from Gaddafi's men. While Colonel Gaddafi's men are
:09:13. > :09:18.making what appears to be a file stand in the towns which they still
:09:18. > :09:21.control, in the capital Tripoli more and more are world leaders
:09:21. > :09:28.have been arriving to give their support to the new, interim
:09:28. > :09:32.Government. Today it was the turn of the Turkish Prime Minister.
:09:32. > :09:38.Tayyip Erdogan was following in the footsteps of the British and French
:09:38. > :09:47.leaders who came here yesterday. He also promised to help Libya make
:09:47. > :09:50.the difficult transition to a democratic country. Speaking in
:09:50. > :09:54.martyrs Square in the heart of Tripoli he praised the Libyans,
:09:54. > :09:58.saying they proved it was impossible for any Government to
:09:58. > :10:02.stand in the way of the might and will of the people. It was a barbed
:10:02. > :10:12.comment aimed at the repressive Government in Syria, another Arab
:10:12. > :10:12.
:10:12. > :10:17.country in turmoil. A BBC correspondent from BBC Arabic
:10:17. > :10:22.has been injured was reporting from Bani Walid. Mohammad Ballout, seen
:10:22. > :10:26.here, was preparing to go live on air when he and other journalists
:10:26. > :10:31.were targeted by sniper fire. His injuries are not life-threatening
:10:31. > :10:34.and medical teams are looking after him. As fighters loyal to Libya's
:10:34. > :10:38.interim council make their push into Gaddafi stronghold, other
:10:38. > :10:42.members of his inner circle have gone into hiding. Colonel Gaddafi
:10:43. > :10:47.has pledged to continue the fight in Libya, but some senior aides and
:10:47. > :10:51.family members have sought safety in neighbouring Niger. Thousands of
:10:51. > :10:59.sub-Saharan Africans have also crossed through the desert to
:10:59. > :11:04.escape the war. They were caught in Libya's war,
:11:04. > :11:08.hundreds of refugees, most of them from West Africa, who have
:11:08. > :11:18.travelled hundreds of kilometres across the desert. It is thought
:11:18. > :11:19.
:11:19. > :11:24.more than 150,000 have already made it to northern Niger. Senior aides
:11:24. > :11:32.of Colonel Gaddafi reach the capital further south. They had to
:11:32. > :11:37.pass through this checkpoint at the city limits. Convoys loyal to
:11:37. > :11:40.Colonel Gaddafi are being escorted through hundreds of kilometres
:11:40. > :11:44.through the sentry points. The authorities here expect more to
:11:44. > :11:51.come as they struggle to secure the past desert borders owner with
:11:51. > :11:54.Libya. The Government has confirmed that Gaddafi's son, among those now
:11:54. > :12:00.here, it remains under close surveillance, his movements are
:12:00. > :12:06.restricted. Under pressure the Government has defended its actions.
:12:06. > :12:16.Ministers say their main concern are the weapons left over from the
:12:16. > :12:19.
:12:19. > :12:28.Libyan war or crossing the border. This concentration is not really
:12:28. > :12:37.these people fleeing the war from Libya. The worst is the arms which
:12:37. > :12:41.can be in any hands. This man is another victim of Libya's award. A
:12:41. > :12:46.Libyan national, he was granted permission to stay in Niger after
:12:46. > :12:52.he fled his home country to escape the violence. He opposed Colonel
:12:52. > :12:58.Gaddafi, but his problem is not that, but old members of the Libyan
:12:58. > :13:00.regime are seeking refuge in Niger. TRANSLATION: It is up to Niger if
:13:00. > :13:05.they want to harbour a senior Gaddafi loyalists, but those guys
:13:05. > :13:08.are rich, we are poor and have nothing at all. Neither the
:13:08. > :13:14.Government here, nor are the NTC leaders can help us. They have
:13:14. > :13:18.offered us nothing. More and more a West Africans have left Libya since
:13:18. > :13:22.Tripoli fell. Many have been accused of working as mercenaries
:13:22. > :13:27.to defend the Gaddafi regime. In countries like Niger they benefited
:13:27. > :13:32.from the former Libyan rule and now that relationship leaves the
:13:32. > :13:37.Government here in an awkward situation.
:13:37. > :13:41.These days any meeting involving EU finance ministers is described as a
:13:41. > :13:46.crisis meeting and certainly today European Union finance ministers
:13:46. > :13:50.got together in Poland to discuss the euro-zone crisis. The United
:13:50. > :13:54.States has also warned that the EU's problems have threaten to
:13:54. > :13:59.undermine further the global economy. But ministers in Poland's
:13:59. > :14:04.delayed a decision until October to pay out a second instalment of a
:14:04. > :14:09.bail-out to Greece. Greece will go bankrupt if it does not receive the
:14:09. > :14:17.funds amounting to $11 billion. They had other central European
:14:17. > :14:23.bank said concerted action was needed. It calls for being alert,
:14:23. > :14:31.putting our house in order in all the countries individually. It also
:14:31. > :14:40.calls for collective orderliness. There are a whole load of decisions
:14:40. > :14:46.to be taken and they have to be full and as rapid as possible and
:14:46. > :14:51.implementation of all the decisions that have been taken have to be
:14:51. > :14:57.rapid. Chris Morris has been following events in Poland. First
:14:57. > :15:03.of all, why did they delayed his decision on the second tranche of
:15:03. > :15:06.money to Greece? It is actually the 6th tranche of money, part of the
:15:06. > :15:10.first bail-out to Greece. The reason it has been delayed is
:15:11. > :15:14.because there is not agree more on how to proceed and the policy is
:15:14. > :15:18.one of carrot and stick. They want to give more money to Greece,
:15:18. > :15:22.partly because they are not ready for the consequences were Greece to
:15:22. > :15:28.have to default on its debts, but there are those countries, Germany
:15:28. > :15:31.among them, who still believe that Greece could be doing more. Instead
:15:31. > :15:37.of a proving this next tranche of money right now, they have delayed
:15:37. > :15:42.it for a few weeks. It means there will be plenty more talk in the
:15:42. > :15:47.next few weeks. It is a bit of a higher risk strategy, especially on
:15:47. > :15:54.a day when so many people have come out and said, no more delay, it is
:15:54. > :15:58.time for action. But that is the way this entity works. 17 different
:15:58. > :16:08.governments in the euro-zone and you have to try and crush all their
:16:08. > :16:10.
:16:10. > :16:15.different opinions into one He it must raise serious questions.
:16:15. > :16:19.They say that they can. What they cannot do, and they all admitted,
:16:19. > :16:25.his move as fast as the markets might demand. On the one hand, they
:16:25. > :16:28.are criticised for going too slowly, but on the other hand, they are
:16:28. > :16:32.criticised for not consulting their electric and Parliament. That is
:16:32. > :16:36.what is happening at the moment. Some of the agreements made in an
:16:36. > :16:40.emergency summit in July have to be approved by all 17 parliaments in
:16:40. > :16:43.the eurozone and some parliaments are basically dragging their feet a
:16:43. > :16:49.little because they are unhappy about some of the decisions which
:16:49. > :16:53.have been made. So it is a very difficult political mix. Forcing
:16:53. > :16:59.the pace and tried to get a handle on this while also trying to listen
:16:59. > :17:05.to the voters back home. Thank you very much.
:17:05. > :17:08.Now let us look at some of the other main developments. Human
:17:08. > :17:16.rights activists say that security forces in Syria have shot dead at
:17:16. > :17:22.least 15 people. They say that four people died during a raid in a town
:17:23. > :17:26.near Hammad. They fired at random after Friday prayers. They were
:17:26. > :17:30.seeking to prevent pro-democracy demonstrations. The Prime Minister
:17:30. > :17:36.of Pakistan has said that he will take charge of the belief benefit -
:17:36. > :17:40.- belief that that for millions of victims who have suffered from
:17:40. > :17:43.monsoon rains which have not yet recovered from similar floods last
:17:43. > :17:45.year. The Deputy First Minister of
:17:45. > :17:50.Northern Ireland has announced he is going to run for the Irish
:17:50. > :17:54.presidency. His party Sinn Fein has confirmed that the former IRA
:17:54. > :17:57.leader will contest next month's elections. He is due to be formally
:17:57. > :18:01.endorsed by his party leadership over the weekend.
:18:01. > :18:05.Police have confirmed that all four miners trapped in a flooded coal
:18:05. > :18:09.mine in South Wales since Thursday have been found dead. Rescue
:18:09. > :18:13.workers had been searching through a maze of tunnels to try to save
:18:13. > :18:18.the men. Officials say that everything humanly possible meet --
:18:18. > :18:22.humanly possible had been done. A police investigation is under way.
:18:22. > :18:26.The rescue teams said they had that they met such difficult conditions
:18:26. > :18:31.but they worked day and night in the hope of finding at least one
:18:31. > :18:39.miner still alive. This evening, their hopes were finally dashed.
:18:39. > :18:44.can confirm that the 4th dead miner has now been recovered from the
:18:44. > :18:48.Gleision colliery. On behalf of us all, I would like to express our
:18:48. > :18:54.deepest and most sincere condolences to the families of
:18:54. > :18:59.Philip Hill, David Powell, Garry Jenkins and Charles Bresnan. I can
:18:59. > :19:05.confirm that of the four deceased miners, they were found in close
:19:05. > :19:09.proximity to each other, one was on the exit side of the blockage as we
:19:09. > :19:14.know. The other three were covered this afternoon were all found
:19:14. > :19:17.together in the area where they had been working. Families, friends and
:19:17. > :19:21.neighbours suffered an agonising wait for information in the
:19:21. > :19:26.community centre. Over the course of the day, the news just got worse
:19:26. > :19:30.as one by one, the rescue teams found more bodies. They receive
:19:30. > :19:35.messages of support from around the country and around the world. Gifts
:19:35. > :19:40.of food and toys for the children. This has been a crippling growth --
:19:40. > :19:47.crippling blow. One miner, his wife did not want him to go to work
:19:47. > :19:52.yesterday but he insisted. It is just devastated. Not only for the
:19:52. > :19:56.community but for the whole valley. Everybody is devastated.
:19:56. > :19:59.operation had been hampered by the silt and debris carried by the
:19:59. > :20:03.flood which blocked the tunnels where the four men died. There will
:20:03. > :20:08.be an inquiry into the strategy and politicians from all sides said
:20:08. > :20:12.that their thoughts were with the community. I spoke to the commander
:20:12. > :20:15.and it is clear that the emergency services have done everything they
:20:15. > :20:19.can and worked incredibly hard and have not lacked for anything but it
:20:19. > :20:23.is at a desperately sad situation brought everyone concerned.
:20:23. > :20:26.these are tight-knit communities that this is a tragedy not just for
:20:26. > :20:33.those families but for the community as well. News all the
:20:33. > :20:36.amazing rescue effort that happened but sadly it was in vain -- you saw.
:20:36. > :20:40.Mining has long been at the heart of life in these ballets but now
:20:40. > :20:45.the questions will begin about the risks the miners faced and whether
:20:45. > :20:49.their deaths could have been prevented.
:20:49. > :20:54.A London financial trader wept in court this afternoon as he was
:20:54. > :20:59.charged with fraud in connection with a �1.3 billion loss at the
:20:59. > :21:04.Swiss banking group UBS. The 31- year-old was remanded in custody

:21:07. > :21:13.the City of London magistrates' court but this was the only glimpse
:21:13. > :21:18.they got of the man accused of a �1.3 billion fraud. He was remanded
:21:18. > :21:22.in custody until another hearing next week. He wept in court as he
:21:22. > :21:28.stood facing charges of fraud and two of false accounting, one of
:21:28. > :21:31.which dated back to 2008. He was a senior trader in the London office
:21:31. > :21:36.of the Swiss bank UBS. He was arrested at his desk in the early
:21:36. > :21:42.hours of yesterday. It is alleged he dishonestly abused his position,

:21:47. > :21:51.a former UN official, said that the family was heartbroken and hoping -
:21:51. > :21:56.- hoping to hear his son's side of the stories. Whatever the details
:21:56. > :21:59.of the transactions, the big questions being asked are wide work
:21:59. > :22:04.senior managers not aware of what was going on and how could losses
:22:04. > :22:09.of more than a billion pounds been ranked up with out their knowledge?
:22:09. > :22:12.It is not incredible in the sense that it will be very hard to
:22:12. > :22:15.regulate away any of these sorts of accidents happening. It is very
:22:15. > :22:21.difficult to believe it has happened just now when there is so

:23:59. > :24:04.White House. It is a bit like Star Wars. Didn't star was have a planet
:24:04. > :24:08.that went to run two sons? That is right, it is called Tatooine and
:24:08. > :24:12.there's a famous scene with Luke Skywalker watching the double
:24:12. > :24:18.sunset. It is a gas giant so it does not have a surface but if it
:24:18. > :24:23.has a nude, a rocky moon, then if you look to towards it, you would
:24:23. > :24:31.seek the two sons in your Sky because they are smaller than our
:24:31. > :24:37.Sun and one of them is a yellow and the other is a deep red. That would
:24:37. > :24:42.be blocked by dark scars of sunspots on net, much larger than
:24:42. > :24:48.the sunspots on our staff. It would be a spectacular multi-coloured

:24:55. > :25:01.interchangeably? The sun is a star? The sun is a typical staff. This
:25:01. > :25:06.just goes to show that because most from planets and most stars are not
:25:06. > :25:09.like our son, solitary stars, they are part of multiple systems. That
:25:09. > :25:15.is the first one we have found where the planet orbits both of
:25:15. > :25:18.them. As we explore the cosmos, we will no doubt find planets which
:25:18. > :25:26.orbit two stars in a figure of eight orbit or something weird like
:25:26. > :25:33.that. Ballet movements in the solar system. What does this tell us
:25:33. > :25:40.about our Earth, or the space? shows us the diversity of planetary
:25:40. > :25:45.systems. One of the major themes of discovery in recent years is that
:25:45. > :25:49.we have found planets orbiting other stars. Before that, we only
:25:49. > :25:53.knew about our own planets. Now we are finding more and more and these,
:25:53. > :25:57.we are finding weird and wonderful combinations. I know it is a
:25:57. > :26:01.typical question but I have to ask, could there be life potentially?
:26:01. > :26:06.Not on the planet that we have found because it is a gas giant.
:26:06. > :26:10.But if it has a rocky moon, that is a possibility. It is a cold planet,
:26:10. > :26:17.so these two sons are not warming it up? If they are very cool but
:26:17. > :26:21.one of them has huge explosions on the surface and that might make a
:26:21. > :26:27.difference to a rocky moon of Kepler-16b. A I have learnt so much.
:26:27. > :26:30.Thank you very much. A reminder of our main story. The

:27:03. > :27:08.It has been fairly cloudy and this weekend is not looking that
:27:08. > :27:13.inspiring. Blustery showers on the cards for tomorrow. More of the
:27:13. > :27:19.same poll Sunday. That is courtesy to an area of low pressure pushing
:27:19. > :27:23.its way into northern Scotland overnight. Some pretty dusty winds
:27:23. > :27:27.to boot. Where ever you are tomorrow, you are likely to pick up
:27:27. > :27:35.one or two showers. In between, some decent spells of sunshine. It
:27:35. > :27:40.is likely they will become banded together in places. Through
:27:40. > :27:44.southernmost counties, it is a bit hit and miss. Sunny spells and a
