:01:34. > :01:37.silver screen, the new silent films Hello and welcome. Syria's
:01:37. > :01:42.isolation on the international stage is becoming more apparent by
:01:42. > :01:46.the day. Over the weekend, Syria was suspended from the Arab League
:01:46. > :01:50.and today, King Abdullah of Jordan became the first Arab leader to
:01:51. > :01:56.openly call for the resignation of Syria's President Bashar Al-Assad.
:01:56. > :01:59.In an exclusive interview with the BBC, King Abdullah called for wide-
:02:00. > :02:04.ranging political change and then a handover of power. The authorities
:02:04. > :02:13.in Damascus accused other Arab nations of shameful and malicious
:02:13. > :02:22.interference. From Cairo, Jon Leyne reports. As the violence in Syria
:02:22. > :02:24.continues, the world is losing patience. These images appear to
:02:24. > :02:31.show more brutal attacks on opposition protesters in the city
:02:31. > :02:35.of Homs. Yet more evidence that Syrian tanks have not been pulled
:02:35. > :02:39.back from the streets, as the government promised to do.
:02:39. > :02:42.So now there's growing pressure on President Assad himself. In an
:02:42. > :02:49.interview with the BBC, King Abdullah of Jordan became the first
:02:49. > :02:54.Arab leader to urge him to step down. If he has the interests of
:02:54. > :03:02.his country he would step down. He would create an ability to start a
:03:02. > :03:06.new phase of Syrian political life. Syria's response has been an
:03:06. > :03:09.element theatrical show of defiance. People were encouraged onto the
:03:09. > :03:14.street at the weekend to protest against the Arab League's decision
:03:14. > :03:17.to suspend Syria. Angry mob as tacked the embassies of Qatar,
:03:18. > :03:24.Saudi Arabia and Turkey, three countries that have taken a very
:03:24. > :03:29.tough line against Syria. It's just leading Syria into more isolation
:03:29. > :03:33.than ever before. At the European Union, Britain joined other
:03:33. > :03:38.countries in voting for new sanctions against Damascus, mainly
:03:38. > :03:42.targeted at key figures around President Assad. It's very good
:03:42. > :03:46.that the Arab League are taking a leading role on this crisis. It's
:03:46. > :03:50.very important in the European Union that we consider additional
:03:50. > :03:54.measures to add to the pressure on the Assad regime. There's evidence
:03:54. > :03:57.the sanctions are beginning to bite. Though these queues for gas may be
:03:57. > :04:03.the result of the Syrian government trying to starve out opposition
:04:03. > :04:07.supporters. This evening, Syrian opposition figures have been at the
:04:07. > :04:10.Arab League in Kaio discussing how to coordinate the -- Cairo
:04:10. > :04:14.discussing how to coordinate a fight against the government.
:04:14. > :04:18.They're proposing a mission of 500 military and human rights observers
:04:18. > :04:21.to monitor the situation inside seer ya. It will be seen as the
:04:21. > :04:25.last test of the Syrian government's good faith. Everything
:04:25. > :04:32.suggests the other Arab leaders are already looking beyond President
:04:32. > :04:37.Assad's time in charge of Syria. For years the Arab League has been
:04:37. > :04:42.seen as a bit of a cosy club of Arab autocrats and dictators. In
:04:42. > :04:47.recent months it's taken two of the most decisive moves in its 66 years
:04:47. > :04:51.of history. The Arab League was founded in 1945 by Egypt, Syria,
:04:51. > :04:56.Jordan, Yemen, Lebanon, Iraq and Saudi Arabia. With the suspension
:04:56. > :05:01.of Syria, the league now numbers 21 members, stretching from Asia to
:05:01. > :05:05.Africa, with a combined population of almost 350 million people. In
:05:05. > :05:10.March the Arab League voted in support of a no-fly zone over Libya,
:05:10. > :05:14.that led directly to a UN Resolution and the subsequent NATO
:05:14. > :05:18.intervention there. Now the suspension of one of its founding
:05:18. > :05:21.members suggests the Arab Spring may be pushing the Arab League away
:05:21. > :05:26.from its more traditional and cautious approach. One of the
:05:26. > :05:28.strongest voices to come out against the Syrian government is
:05:28. > :05:34.Jordan. My colleague Lyse Doucet has been speaking to King Abdullah
:05:34. > :05:38.of Jordan, and she joins us here to tell us more about what he told her.
:05:38. > :05:43.Arab leaders not renowned for talking out against one another,
:05:43. > :05:46.are they, what did King Abdullah tell you? Arab leaders are still
:05:46. > :05:53.very worried about what's happening inside Syria and what will happen
:05:53. > :05:57.in the region. You saw in that piece, the hint of what comes after
:05:57. > :06:01.in the post Bashar Al-Assad era. The king knead clear today, A, they
:06:01. > :06:05.don't know where to move next, how to make it happen. He said any
:06:05. > :06:10.intervention inside Syria was like opening a Pandora's box. This is
:06:10. > :06:16.what he had to say about what the regime itself thinks of it. Syria
:06:16. > :06:20.is a case in isolation. You'll see more violence continue in Syria
:06:20. > :06:24.unfortunately. If you were looking at it from the Syrian regime's
:06:24. > :06:29.point of view, with all that's going on, as a regime, they're
:06:29. > :06:34.still in a fairly comfortable position. They will continue to
:06:34. > :06:41.play different groups off against each other. I think you continue to
:06:41. > :06:44.see more of the same going into Syria. But he's opened a bit of a
:06:44. > :06:50.Pandora's box though. Talk about Syria, about the democratic deficit
:06:50. > :06:54.elsewhere in the Middle East, not to mention Jordan itself.
:06:54. > :06:58.Indeed. He was anticipating that, when I asked about his talks about
:06:58. > :07:03.President Assad. He spoke to him twice this year. He said well, "I
:07:03. > :07:06.offered help to Syria, even though, he said the Jordan story is not
:07:06. > :07:10.perfect. He likes to maintain he is part of the Arab Spring, in the
:07:10. > :07:14.sense that he has responded to the protests on his street. The critics
:07:14. > :07:19.say, and I asked him this, that he has been promising reform since he
:07:19. > :07:23.came to power in 1999. He's had nine, ten governments, all of them
:07:23. > :07:27.tasked with this and it hasn't happened. What is the problem? Is
:07:27. > :07:32.he choosing the wrong people? Who is not committed to reform? As for
:07:32. > :07:36.the way ahead, he said he, like everyone else, can't be certain.
:07:36. > :07:42.Nobody can predict. Usually at the end of the year, we all like it
:07:42. > :07:47.make predictions for the next year. If you list ton my predictions at
:07:47. > :07:50.the end of last year, what 2011 would be like, I was way off the
:07:50. > :07:55.mark. I don't anybody in the Middle East can predict what's going to
:07:55. > :07:59.happen. I will say that I think what we see as an Arab Spring,
:07:59. > :08:02.we're not even halfway through it yet. This is going to be tumultuous
:08:02. > :08:08.changes for the Middle East for at least the next couple of years.
:08:08. > :08:13.Anything can happen. It's often said in the region that the
:08:13. > :08:20.monarchies, be it Jordan, Morocco, be it the gulf shake Doms, they
:08:20. > :08:24.have a buffer. King Abdullah is in his third government this year. He
:08:24. > :08:27.can respond by saying he's doing his best. He will have to do
:08:27. > :08:31.something even about the monarchy. No-one on the streets of Jordan is
:08:31. > :08:34.calling for the monarchy to go, but there is a concern he has to move
:08:34. > :08:38.faster, if he is going to satisfy the demands on his street because
:08:38. > :08:41.the whole region is watching what happens in Jordan and neighbouring
:08:41. > :08:49.countries. We are all watching too. Thank you
:08:49. > :08:54.very much. Now let's look at some of the day's
:08:54. > :08:58.other main developments: The Norwegian who confessed to the bomb
:08:58. > :09:02.attacks in July that killed 77 people has appeared in open court
:09:02. > :09:06.for the first time. There had been concerned about whether he would
:09:06. > :09:09.use the appearance as a platform to promote his extremist views. Today
:09:09. > :09:13.he tried to give a speech justifying his actions describing
:09:13. > :09:17.himself as a commander of the resistance movement, but he was cut
:09:17. > :09:22.off by the judge. The Japanese economy is growing
:09:22. > :09:26.since the first time since the tsunami in March. It's expected
:09:26. > :09:31.from July to September with consumer spending also growing. One
:09:31. > :09:35.reason was a boom in sales of energy efficient appliances and
:09:35. > :09:39.people tried to save electricity amid the nuclear disaster.
:09:39. > :09:42.An inquiry into how the whole of the UK media behaves has opened in
:09:43. > :09:47.London, after a phone hacking scandal, that led to the closure of
:09:47. > :09:50.one of the country's biggest selling newspapers, the News Of The
:09:50. > :09:54.World. Lord Leveson said that while press freedom was fundamental to
:09:54. > :10:01.democracy, his inquiry would focus on a simple question - who guards
:10:01. > :10:05.the guardians? The aclaimed Nigerian writer
:10:05. > :10:10.Chinhua Achebe has refused to accept one of the highest honours
:10:10. > :10:14.for the second time. When he declined the honour in 2004 he
:10:14. > :10:19.complained that his homeland was being turn nod a bankrupt and
:10:19. > :10:26.lawless land. Turning down the award again, Mr Achebe said the
:10:26. > :10:32.same problems weren't still being addressed. The soy yeses Soyuz
:10:32. > :10:37.rocket has successfully taken off, heading towards the International
:10:37. > :10:41.Space Station. The mission follows a string of failures but is seen as
:10:41. > :10:44.crucial in rebuilding Russia's space programme. A similar cargo
:10:44. > :10:48.rocket crashed after lift-off in August.
:10:48. > :10:52.Now Germany is once again ringing alarm bells over the future of
:10:52. > :10:55.Europe. The German Chancellor says Europe is facing its biggest
:10:55. > :10:59.challenge since the Second World War. She's at the centre of
:10:59. > :11:00.attempts to hold the eurozone together in the wake of the euro
:11:00. > :11:08.crisis. Our Europe correspondent, Matthew Price, reports from
:11:08. > :11:12.Brussels. They've changed the guard in Italy and Greece, out with
:11:13. > :11:18.Silvio Berlusconi and George Papandreou, in with the grey men.
:11:18. > :11:23.In Rome today, Mario Monti, the new Prime Minister, was being hailed as
:11:23. > :11:28.the man to save Italy and by extension the euro. He's an
:11:28. > :11:32.economist, a respected university President, he knows how Europe
:11:32. > :11:37.works. He was a commissioner for a decade. And he's a staunch defender
:11:38. > :11:42.of the euro. Today one of his former students gave this
:11:42. > :11:45.assessment: Given the present emergency he is playing an
:11:45. > :11:49.important role and can be the right man at the right time, at least for
:11:49. > :11:54.a little while. Financial markets also seemed relieved. But for how
:11:54. > :11:58.long? Here in Brussels, Mario Monti's appointment has been
:11:58. > :12:02.broadly welcomed. He's seen as a can-do man. During his time at the
:12:02. > :12:07.commission here, he was known as Super Mario. Yet, in becoming Prime
:12:07. > :12:10.Minister, the fundamentals in Italy haven't changed. They still have
:12:10. > :12:17.record levels of debt and interest rate payments on the money that
:12:17. > :12:22.they borrow. In Greece too, there's a new leader on the block. Lucas
:12:22. > :12:26.Papademos is also referred to as a technocrat, an economic expert felt
:12:26. > :12:30.to be uninfluenced by public pressure. Yet in the Greek
:12:30. > :12:34.Parliament today, it was clear that may not be possible. The opposition
:12:35. > :12:40.hinted at political problems to come. It could derail Greece's next
:12:40. > :12:50.slice of bail out funding. The important point is the euro is
:12:50. > :12:54.still in crisis. Listen to Germany's Angela Merkel today:
:12:54. > :12:58.TRANSLATION: Europe is in the middle of what may be its toughest
:12:58. > :13:02.hour since world war two. We mustn't be discouraged by that. We
:13:02. > :13:07.must tuck seed -- succeed in getting Europe out of this crisis.
:13:07. > :13:11.She knows the problem now is trust or lack of it. Germany is the only
:13:11. > :13:21.euro country investors see as truly safe. Italy and Greece may have
:13:21. > :13:26.changed the guard, but they and others remain under huge pressure.
:13:26. > :13:29.The German authorities try to be vigilant about the activities of
:13:29. > :13:33.far-right sympathisers, they impose heavy penalties on them. In the
:13:33. > :13:37.last week, rather last week police in Germany uncovered a new right-
:13:37. > :13:41.wing extremist cell responsible for ten racist murders, including eight
:13:41. > :13:45.Turkish immigrants. The group, the National Socialist Underground, had
:13:45. > :13:48.been operating undetected for years. Detectives said their
:13:49. > :13:58.investigations have led to re-open the cases of other unsolved racist
:13:59. > :13:59.
:13:59. > :14:02.An apartment building in a small town in south-east journey, blown
:14:02. > :14:05.up and burnt out earlier this month. This is where the police found
:14:05. > :14:10.evidence of a violent crime spree which has shocked the nation.
:14:11. > :14:13.Officials believe members of a neo- Nazi group called the National
:14:13. > :14:18.Socialist underground, were responsible for at least 10 murders
:14:18. > :14:25.over more than a decade. A video which showed gruesome images of
:14:25. > :14:29.several of the victims was found at the scene. It is a chilling story
:14:29. > :14:31.that has dominated the front pages on when the German Chancellor spoke
:14:31. > :14:40.at the annual conference today, there was only one topic to start
:14:40. > :14:44.Terrorism coming from the far right is a shame for for our country. We
:14:44. > :14:49.will do everything to investigate these incidents and make sure
:14:49. > :14:53.justice is done -- shameful for our country. The killings have become
:14:53. > :15:00.known as the kid that the murders. Nine of the victims were ethnic
:15:00. > :15:02.minority business owners, who ran Turkish kebab stalls. The 10th
:15:02. > :15:06.victim was eight Police woman. A neo-Nazi gang is suspected of
:15:06. > :15:13.carrying out bank robberies and this bombing in an immigrant
:15:13. > :15:17.neighbourhood in the City of Our job now is to find out whether
:15:17. > :15:22.there is a wider network, a larger operation behind the suspects and
:15:22. > :15:27.on what scale the group has been organised. Two of the suspects,
:15:27. > :15:31.seen here during a bank robbery, are already dead. They committed
:15:31. > :15:35.suicide in a mobile home earlier this month. But what secrets have
:15:35. > :15:38.they taken with them? Any resurgence of violence on the
:15:39. > :15:42.extreme right is obviously a sensitive issue here in Germany.
:15:42. > :15:45.Other political questions are already being asked, notably about
:15:45. > :15:49.the role of the domestic intelligence service. If they did
:15:49. > :15:55.not know anything about these people, why not? But if they did,
:15:55. > :15:59.why didn't they take any action? The German media are now reporting
:15:59. > :16:03.that the suspects may have evaded capture for more than a decade
:16:03. > :16:13.because they may have been working as informants. Troubling questions
:16:13. > :16:16.
:16:16. > :16:20.Matthew Goodwin is an expert on the far right, and he joins me via
:16:20. > :16:23.webcam from Manchester. Broadly speaking, can you say that far-
:16:23. > :16:28.right activities are on the increase across Europe? These
:16:28. > :16:31.recent events take place against a backdrop of Norway and the far
:16:31. > :16:35.right has been very much in the headlines since then, but one of
:16:35. > :16:40.the things that is really important to avoid is an alarmist reaction to
:16:40. > :16:44.these types of events and say that this is evidence that far-right
:16:44. > :16:52.terrorism or violence is on the increase. The problem we have is
:16:52. > :16:56.that unlike Al-Qaeda or or inspired terrorism it is hard to track acts
:16:56. > :17:00.of right-wing violence or right- wing terrorism across time and
:17:01. > :17:06.across Europe. So even though our instincts tell us this is on the
:17:06. > :17:09.increase, the data and information is lacking. Given we have been
:17:09. > :17:14.talking about Germany, where the authorities are traditionally more
:17:14. > :17:19.vigilant because of their history, one to make of activities there
:17:19. > :17:23.with the uncovering of this extremist sell? Any event of this
:17:23. > :17:27.nature in Germany will be viewed with a greater sense of
:17:27. > :17:33.significance given their national history. But Germany has always had
:17:33. > :17:38.quite a militant and active right- wing extremist scene. It has been
:17:38. > :17:43.smaller than in other countries and more closely monitored that it has
:17:43. > :17:46.always been there, much in the same way that most European states have
:17:46. > :17:54.a fringe extreme-right movement that to varying degrees is prone
:17:54. > :17:59.towards violence, or the ballot-box strategy, or conflict within
:17:59. > :18:05.minority communities. It is not the case that Germany is on the cusp of
:18:05. > :18:08.a major wave of terrorism but the risk is always there. You mention
:18:08. > :18:17.Al co-leader, so do you think that there is an argument that the
:18:17. > :18:23.authorities across Europe -- Al- Qaeda, -- and they have exploited
:18:23. > :18:29.the vacuum somehow? While we have done over the last 10 years is
:18:29. > :18:34.focus heavily on our Cader focused -- Al-Qaeda inspired terrorism and
:18:34. > :18:39.have focused resources on countering radicalisation. Some
:18:39. > :18:43.might legitimately question this in the after Mark's -- aftermath of
:18:43. > :18:48.Norway and in Germany whether we prioritised one form of extremism
:18:48. > :18:51.at the expense of others. That is not just the far right, there is
:18:51. > :18:56.republican dissidents and, animal rights extremism, left-wing
:18:56. > :19:02.extremism. We need to think about this challenge more holistically.
:19:02. > :19:05.Matthew Goodwin, thank you very much.
:19:05. > :19:09.The rise of China's wealthy elite has been well reported in recent
:19:09. > :19:12.years. What may be less well known is the fact that women make up a
:19:12. > :19:14.third of the country's millionaires. However, in China, as elsewhere in
:19:14. > :19:17.the world, there's growing resentment over the widening gap
:19:17. > :19:20.between rich and poor. So many of these women millionaires are now
:19:20. > :19:22.seeking personal protection, and that's led to a growing demand for
:19:22. > :19:32.female bodyguards, as Martin Patience reports from the southern
:19:32. > :19:40.
:19:40. > :19:47.Out of uniform, they would not stand out in any crowd. But these
:19:47. > :19:54.women are a changing face of China. Mixing brains withdrawn, they are
:19:54. > :19:59.graduates training to be bodyguards. One successful entrepreneur founded
:19:59. > :20:08.the training camp. She came up with the idea after being mugged twice
:20:08. > :20:15.Having a female bodyguard is a bit like having a sister watching out
:20:15. > :20:22.for you. We can share a room, and she can work as my secretary. If it
:20:22. > :20:27.was a man, people might get the wrong impression. This woman earns
:20:27. > :20:30.up to $100 a day. Like her colleague, she is highly trained to,
:20:30. > :20:39.but she not only wants to protect her clients, she wants to learn
:20:40. > :20:47.I see how independent women can be. They are often better at their jobs
:20:47. > :20:51.than men. My family are very proud of me. China's growing economy is
:20:51. > :20:56.generating enormous wealth. The number of billionaires in the
:20:57. > :21:02.country has doubled in the last two years. But not everyone has shared
:21:02. > :21:08.in China's boom. The gap between rich and poor is widening, which is
