:00:13. > :00:16.This is BBC World News Today with me, Philippa Thomas. Facing the
:00:16. > :00:21.music in Cannes, the Greek Prime Minister goes into emergency talks
:00:21. > :00:26.with the French and German leaders. Furious at his call for a Greek
:00:26. > :00:30.vote on the euro bail-out plans. And on the eve of the full G20
:00:30. > :00:36.summit, at the head of the Anglican Church calls on leaders to consider
:00:36. > :00:40.the morality of banking and profit. We need to hone in on a number of
:00:40. > :00:44.very specific questions that might be asked. Nobody has any solutions
:00:44. > :00:49.of the night, but it is important to ask the right questions.
:00:49. > :00:54.Also coming up, hope for peace in Syria. Seven months of protest and
:00:54. > :00:58.bloodshed, Neisseria's Government says it will pull tanks from the
:00:58. > :01:02.streets and talk to the opposition. A French satirical magazine is
:01:02. > :01:05.firebombed for poking fun at his arm. The French Prime Minister says
:01:05. > :01:15.the attack is unjustifiable, but was Charlie Hebdo asking for
:01:15. > :01:17.
:01:17. > :01:20.trouble? 60 years on, the multi- Oscar-
:01:20. > :01:30.winning musical An American in Paris is re-released. We will speak
:01:30. > :01:37.
:01:37. > :01:41.to one of its stars, the French actress Leslie Caron.
:01:41. > :01:45.Hello and welcome. The German Chancellor Angela Merkel says the
:01:45. > :01:50.eurozone plan to save Greece from bankruptcy is not up for
:01:50. > :01:54.renegotiation. In just half an hour, the German leader and President
:01:54. > :01:57.Sarkozy of France will hold an emergency meeting with the Greek
:01:58. > :02:02.prime minister George Papandreou, ahead of Thursday's G20 summit in
:02:02. > :02:05.Cannes. They are furious with his announcement of a referendum on the
:02:05. > :02:10.bail-out plan for Greece. The German Finance Minister has said
:02:10. > :02:14.Greece may have to leave the eurozone completely if its voters
:02:14. > :02:18.reject the deal. The BBC's Tanya Beckett is in Cannes ahead of that
:02:18. > :02:28.meeting. How close are we to that dressing down for the Greek Prime
:02:28. > :02:29.
:02:29. > :02:34.Minister? Very close. We have friends's and Nicolas Sarkozy with
:02:34. > :02:39.the premier of China at the moment. The Chinese premier we think kept
:02:39. > :02:44.him waiting for about ten minutes on the red carpet. The former
:02:44. > :02:48.French prime minister -- finance minister, now head of the IMF, has
:02:48. > :02:54.arrived. There was a press scrum through which she had to fight.
:02:54. > :02:57.This is going to be a rather tense couple of days.
:02:58. > :03:02.For the leaders of France and Germany, the shock of a Greek
:03:02. > :03:08.referendum feels like betrayal. Board President's Sarkozy and Jan
:03:08. > :03:11.slumber call made huge efforts to deliver last week's Eur rescue deal.
:03:11. > :03:16.Tonight to they have summoned the Greek prime minister to Cannes to
:03:16. > :03:19.urge him to stick with it. This is the man who has plunged the
:03:19. > :03:24.European Union back into crisis. George Papandreou agreed last week
:03:24. > :03:28.to what was called the ultimate rescue. Now it is unravelling
:03:28. > :03:32.because he so insists the Greek people must accept or reject it
:03:32. > :03:39.first in a referendum. There is no disguising Chancellor Mackle's
:03:39. > :03:42.anger today. TRANSLATION: We agreed a plan for Greece last week, and as
:03:42. > :03:47.far as the European Union is concerned we want to put this into
:03:47. > :03:51.practice. But for this, we need clarity. The meeting tonight should
:03:51. > :03:54.help with precisely this. Five days ago Europe was
:03:55. > :04:01.celebrating a package of measures to say the euro. All the leaders
:04:01. > :04:06.then agreed on and �86 billion loan to Athens, and a 50% white off or
:04:06. > :04:11.reduction in the country's debt. Now the move to hold a referendum
:04:11. > :04:15.has thrown everything into doubt. You can hear the frustration from
:04:16. > :04:19.France's prime minister in Parliament today. TRANSLATION: The
:04:19. > :04:25.Greeks must understand that Europe cannot spend long weeks waiting for
:04:25. > :04:28.the response they will give at the referendum. The Greeks must say
:04:28. > :04:36.quickly and unambiguously whether or not they are choosing to keep
:04:36. > :04:39.their place in the eurozone. As the world's most powerful
:04:40. > :04:44.leaders arrive here in Cannes and the presidents of the United States
:04:44. > :04:48.in China will be here, the economic giants, it is clear that patients
:04:48. > :04:53.with Greece is rapidly running out. Not just a money eurozone
:04:53. > :04:57.governments, because the hall of the world has a stake in this. The
:04:57. > :05:02.departing Europe crisis at is intensifying, raging uncertainty
:05:02. > :05:07.and instability threatening economies right around the globe.
:05:07. > :05:11.Protesters in Cannes are hoping to have their voices heard too. Their
:05:11. > :05:14.complete - democracy in Greece is being sacrificed. They mocked
:05:14. > :05:17.President Sarkozy and insist the world's leaders need to join them
:05:17. > :05:27.taking the plunge to protect ordinary people as well as
:05:27. > :05:31.promoting global growth. James Robbins, BBC News.
:05:31. > :05:36.James Robbins reporting on the foundation for this summit. Joining
:05:36. > :05:41.me now is the bureau chief for the Financial Times. He is based in
:05:41. > :05:45.Brussels. It is going to be a difficult
:05:45. > :05:49.couple of days. What can the Greek Prime Minister say to the leaders
:05:49. > :05:54.of France and Germany and that they can say back to him? I don't think
:05:54. > :06:00.there is much they can say. If they are going to press him hard on a
:06:00. > :06:07.referendum, either do it quickly or not at all. They are very angry,
:06:07. > :06:09.literally steaming. I think they are going to push him to call a
:06:09. > :06:13.general referendum and do it very quickly so he can get it through
:06:13. > :06:19.and they can get the money. So ask the right question to elicit the
:06:19. > :06:23.right answer. Yes, there have already been calls to him saying
:06:23. > :06:31.you have got to find a way to get out of this. We will see the
:06:31. > :06:37.pressure on him. People in his party are saying we have to watch
:06:37. > :06:40.very closely the language of what the referendum says. Does it say we
:06:40. > :06:45.reject the 130 billion euros bail out, what does it say we support
:06:45. > :06:50.the euro, we would like to support the EU? The wording will become
:06:50. > :06:57.much more broad so it is harder to reject. But any delay is very
:06:57. > :07:02.unwelcome, because the longer it goes on the more the likes of Italy,
:07:02. > :07:08.will have to pay a very great deal for their dead. And there is a very
:07:08. > :07:14.hard deadline coming up in mid- December. There is a bond that
:07:14. > :07:20.Greece must pay and it does not have the money. Suddenly that is a
:07:20. > :07:24.hard default. Everyone is afraid of this, that this is going to bring
:07:24. > :07:29.down not only the eurozone but the global economy. The repercussions
:07:29. > :07:32.are that people do not know. It is like Lehman Brothers where the
:07:32. > :07:37.whole international system gets frozen up. Is there enough time now
:07:37. > :07:44.for George Papandreou to unwind and get the money to Athens to pay that
:07:44. > :07:48.Bond, and I do not know if this summit is going to resolve that.
:07:48. > :07:52.The head of the Financial Times based in Brussels there. As you can
:07:52. > :07:57.see, there is really very little room to manoeuvre and speed is of
:07:57. > :08:00.the essence. It is a luxury we do not have here in Cannes.
:08:01. > :08:04.The head of the Anglican Church said today the G20 leaders should
:08:04. > :08:08.consider the morality of finance during their next few day's
:08:08. > :08:12.discussions. Later we will be asking if politicians are really
:08:12. > :08:15.hearing the voice of the so-called silent majority.
:08:15. > :08:19.After seven months of violent crackdowns bond anti-government
:08:19. > :08:24.protests, the Syrian Government says it will accept an Arab League
:08:24. > :08:28.plan to end the bloodshed. More than 3,000 people have been killed
:08:28. > :08:32.since the Arab Spring swept into Syria in March, and the new plan
:08:32. > :08:35.includes an immediate halt to violence. The removal of tax from
:08:35. > :08:40.the streets and the beginning of dialogue with the opposition. The
:08:40. > :08:43.plan was agreed at an Arab League meeting in Egypt and we can get the
:08:43. > :08:46.latest from our correspondent reported macro.
:08:46. > :08:52.I suppose the important thing to establish his army said in Damascus
:08:52. > :08:56.has signed up to this? The Syrian state television last night was
:08:57. > :09:02.saying that Syria had agreed to the deal. We have not had much from
:09:02. > :09:07.Damascus tonight, although apparently President Assad has
:09:07. > :09:11.decided to set up a committee for this national dialogue. We have not
:09:11. > :09:15.had the details or heard whether they say they have any reservations,
:09:15. > :09:19.any technical reservations. Certainly the Arab League says they
:09:19. > :09:25.have accepted it comprehensively, but the key is whether they
:09:25. > :09:29.implement it. The Arab League says it will be monitoring what goes on.
:09:29. > :09:34.I think the key about this agreement is it seems to have been
:09:34. > :09:41.quite tightly drawn. I cannot see the weather room for manoeuvre is
:09:41. > :09:45.for the Syrians to delay. So either way, I think this is again changes.
:09:45. > :09:48.By this area does implement this agreement and take their tanks of
:09:48. > :09:54.the streets and stop the violence from their side, release political
:09:54. > :09:57.prisoners and start dialogue, or if they don't they will be at a
:09:57. > :10:00.completely different diplomatic situation. I think that would
:10:01. > :10:06.really test the patience of the Arab League. If the Arab League
:10:06. > :10:11.takes tough action in Syria, that will take -- put pressure on the
:10:11. > :10:16.rest of the world, bringing Russia and China backed the Security
:10:16. > :10:23.Council saying are you going to veto again? So I think that
:10:23. > :10:28.diplomatically, even if nothing changes on the ground, the position
:10:28. > :10:32.has already changed the game. Jon Leyne, thank you very much.
:10:32. > :10:37.The French Prime Minister says it was an justifiable. An arson attack
:10:37. > :10:40.has destroyed the offices of the satirical magazine. But some say
:10:40. > :10:44.Charlie Hebdo was asking for trouble. By announcing that its
:10:44. > :10:48.latest issue was to be edited by the Prophet Mohammed, and placing a
:10:48. > :10:53.caricature of him on the cover. The magazine's editor has blamed the
:10:53. > :10:56.attack on "idiot extremists", and said that his son should not be
:10:56. > :10:58.excluded from the freedom of the press. -- Islam should not be
:10:58. > :11:04.excluded from the freedom of the press.
:11:04. > :11:08.The attack comes on the same day that the satirical weekly published
:11:08. > :11:12.a cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed on its front page. Police are
:11:12. > :11:17.investigating what started the blaze. The fire broke out in the
:11:17. > :11:21.middle of the night and caused extensive damage to Charlie Hebdo's
:11:21. > :11:25.premises. Police suspect a petrol bomb was hurled on to the building.
:11:25. > :11:29.Staff say that most of their equipment has been destroyed, and
:11:29. > :11:33.they do not know if they will be able to publish next week's edition
:11:33. > :11:37.of the newspaper. But this week's edition, the one which has caused
:11:37. > :11:42.so much offence to Muslims, is already on the news stands.
:11:42. > :11:46.The editor says he has no doubt that the attack was carried out by
:11:46. > :11:50.Muslim extremists. He rejects accusations that by announcing that
:11:50. > :11:55.the Prophet Mohammed was this week's guest editor, he was
:11:55. > :12:02.deliberately seeking provocation. TRANSLATION: We are ready to face
:12:02. > :12:06.justice when we go too far, which we do quite often. I wouldn't have
:12:07. > :12:12.minded going to trial against angry Islamists, but what we have written
:12:12. > :12:20.in the magazine shows that there is no reason to sue Charlie Hebdo, and
:12:20. > :12:24.we will not be sued. The paper was taken to court in
:12:24. > :12:31.2007 when Muslim groups -- by Muslim groups after a pre-printed
:12:32. > :12:36.Danish cartoons which cost a fence around the Islamic world.
:12:36. > :12:40.-- course caused offence. I am joined now by Nabila Ramdani,
:12:40. > :12:44.a Paris-born writer specialising in Islamic affairs.
:12:44. > :12:50.Charlie Hebdo has a history of being very irreverent and trying to
:12:50. > :12:54.be provocative. Had you read its motives here? It is my opinion
:12:54. > :12:58.provocative journalism. Charlie Hebdo is the very magazine which
:12:58. > :13:05.published, the published in 2005 the Danish controversial cartoons
:13:05. > :13:08.which were viewed as deeply offensive to not only Muslims in
:13:08. > :13:14.Europe but indeed around the world. A survey could have predicted
:13:14. > :13:18.trouble? Yes, and if you put the content of the magazine in the
:13:18. > :13:22.context of Islam in France, this was clearly designed to cause
:13:22. > :13:27.maximum offence. You are talking about a country which has 6 million
:13:27. > :13:30.Muslims, the largest Muslim community in Europe, where Muslims
:13:30. > :13:36.experience discrimination on a daily basis in every walk of life
:13:36. > :13:40.including housing, education, and indeed religious expression. The
:13:40. > :13:44.magazine is very much in the knowledge that reproducing the
:13:44. > :13:48.image of the profit is against Islamic law. They say they are
:13:48. > :13:53.trying to draw attention to what is happening with the Arab Spring, the
:13:53. > :13:57.possible implementation of Sharia law in countries like Libya or
:13:57. > :14:02.Tunisia. So it says it was trying to draw attention to matters that
:14:02. > :14:07.need to be debated. But it is a very serious message that the
:14:07. > :14:11.magazine is trying to send, which means that his lamp is indeed
:14:11. > :14:16.incompatible with democracy. -- Islam is indeed incompatible with
:14:16. > :14:20.democracy. That Islam can be questioned, is what it is trying to
:14:20. > :14:24.say as well. The central issue is freedom of space and what we should
:14:25. > :14:31.be allowed to say in the name of freedom of speech. The Interior
:14:31. > :14:35.Minister made it clear that all the French -- it is a sacred freedom in
:14:35. > :14:39.France to be able to express what you want. It has to be pointed out
:14:39. > :14:44.that this very same material -- Minister is the same person who
:14:44. > :14:52.described Ms -- Islam as a problem in France. France has very strong
:14:52. > :14:59.laws against... It allows laws Holocaust denial and anti-Semitic
:14:59. > :15:03.behaviour. Why do these laws not get extended against -- to protect
:15:03. > :15:11.Islam from the same type of behaviour and criticism? We are not
:15:11. > :15:18.talking about light hearted jocks... -- light-hearted jokes. One should
:15:18. > :15:25.not condone in any circumstance law-breaking, especially by some in
:15:25. > :15:34.heavily populated areas where it lives could have been put at risk.
:15:34. > :15:40.But it still has to be pointed out that when minorities are protected,
:15:40. > :15:50.why are these principles not extended to essentially a
:15:50. > :15:52.
:15:52. > :15:54.magazine's it attempting to rubbish Now a look at some of the day's

:18:29. > :18:34.She is an exciting goal. She is like a sunbeam. Secretly, I
:18:34. > :18:44.discovered that this was something I wanted to do because up until
:18:44. > :18:47.
:18:48. > :18:55.then, my ambition had to be a romantic ballet dancer. Suddenly
:18:55. > :19:02.expressing myself with the words, I could see this was something I was
:19:02. > :19:07.going to love her very, very much. One or seen it was particularly
:19:07. > :19:15.difficult, when I had to shout at Gene Kelly, whose rushing up the
:19:15. > :19:21.steps. If it means anything to you, I love you! It is pretty difficult
:19:21. > :19:28.to say in life anyway, but I was extremely shy. A what was it like
:19:28. > :19:38.dancing with Gene Kelly? The it was the best. He was a fantastic dancer

:19:57. > :20:01.particularly difficult was the restrained number we do on this
:20:01. > :20:06.side of the river when the first danced together. It does not look
:20:06. > :20:12.like much, but it was sort of slow motion and that is particularly
:20:12. > :20:17.difficult to do. I don't know, my heart is split. I love Paris, my
:20:17. > :20:24.children live in England, I love England. I take every opportunity
:20:24. > :20:34.to come to England, and I love New York mostly. I am very fond of the

:23:54. > :24:00.they have behaved since we had been in this crisis which started four
