This is BBC World News Today with me Tim Willcox. A third day of | :00:11. | :00:15. | |
clashes in Cairo, thousands of protesters demand an end to | :00:15. | :00:22. | |
military rule, as Egypt's cabinet announces it's to resign. | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
Here in Tahrir Square, the protests get louder and larger. They say | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
they're not leaving until their demands are met. | :00:31. | :00:36. | |
Preparing for the worst - Turkey's President talks to the BBC about | :00:36. | :00:39. | |

:01:16. | :01:26. | ||
sweeps to glory at the American Hello and welcome. As we come on | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
air, Egyptian state television is reporting that the cabinet has | :01:31. | :01:37. | |
submitted its resignation to the ruling military Council. At least | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
33 people are reported to have been killed since Saturday. That number, | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
though, is open to query. Hundreds have been injured. Protesters fear | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
the interrim military government, led by Field Marshal Mohamed | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
Hussein Tantawi is trying to retain its grip on power ahead of | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
elections planned to begin next week. Let's go live to Tahrir | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
Square now - and my colleague Lyse Doucet. Another sense of real | :02:00. | :02:07. | |
crisis is Cairo this evening. is in a very deep crisis, in a | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
political crisis, a constitutional crisis and a security crisis. Look | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
at the crowds behind me. They are getting larger by the hour. We have | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
spent the day here and groups of Egyptians keep coming. We've seen | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
medical students arriving, we've seen people from the furthest | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
suburbs of Cairo. I've walked through the square. People are in | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
groups shouting the same slogans. They want the army to step down. | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
They want to begin a real transition to democracy. | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
Has there been any movement at all from Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
Tantawi and the supreme military Council? There have been called on | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
him, if I heard your question correctly, there have been acalls | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
on him to step down. There are even stronger callers for him to be put | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
on trial, if not even harsh treatment than that. They're using | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
the same slogan that's they used for President Mubarak, they're | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
using for Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi. As far as the | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
military is concerned, what we heard today is a senior member of | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
that supreme military council came to the square. That is a sign of | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
how things have changed and said we respect your right to protest. But | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
we also reserve the right to keep security, including here in the | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
square. But now you have a confrontation, the same people who, | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
before, at start of what they called their revolution said the | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
army and people are one, are now in confrontation. Not just with the | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
army, but also the police. There have been running battles with the | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
police through the day. Will the elections, scheduled to strt a week | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
today, go ahead? That is the big question. Anyone I ask about the | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
elections they say we're not focused on the elections. But can | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
you hold elections in this kind of environment? The security forces | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
say they're ready to keep those elections safe. Egyptians aren't | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
sure. There was already a movement growing, a small movement, to | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
boycott those elections. Don't forget this is a process that | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
carries across three months. Three months at a time like this, creates | :04:05. | :04:11. | |
the possibility of all kinds of interruptions, set backs and of | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
course, violence and confrontation. What the people here are saying is | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
that we want a real process of change. We don't want one where the | :04:18. | :04:24. | |
military remains in charge. Thank you very much. | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
Joining me from Central London is Professor Fawaz Gerges the Director | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
of the Middle East Centre at the London School of Economics. Where | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
do things move now? Do you think the military has got to come up | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
with something, particularly perhaps about presidential | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
elections to placate the crowd? think you're correct. I think the | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
military council has miscalculated monstrously in the last, since | :04:49. | :04:55. | |
February. I think they have misread the public mood. The changed | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
psychology in Egypt, they have played games, to postpone the | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
inevitable, to prolong the process of transition for as long as | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
possible. First it was six months, now the end of 2012. Some people | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
talk about the end of 2013, the presidential election in Egypt. I | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
think support for the military has eroded considerably among Egyptians. | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
I believe it's the end of the honeymoon between the Egyptian | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
people and the military as an institution. Unless the military | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
come up with a very fast and swift response to public demands you | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
might witness a major prolonged crisis in Egypt. | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
What is striking in Tahrir Square is that the same sort of people are | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
now amassing there. These aren't the agitators perhaps who have been | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
there in recent months. This is a mass turnout. It really is. I think | :05:45. | :05:52. | |
if we really need to contexturalise what has happened in the last few | :05:52. | :05:58. | |
days. This is a revolution in the making. This is not a revolution in | :05:58. | :06:04. | |
the making that it is progressing, it's taking on different forms, | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
it's dynamic. More Egyptians are terrified of the military. It's the | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
same slogans, same rallying cries "Tantawi must go". The military | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
generals must also leave with Tantawi. People now are terrified | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
that basically that Egypt military rulers are extension of the Mubarak | :06:25. | :06:31. | |
regime. Let's be blunt about it here, I mean Tantawi and the | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
military council have vast interests to support. The reason | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
why Tantawi and the council have not agreed to a very swift time | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
table, remember, the Egyptian military is not just a fighting | :06:43. | :06:49. | |
machine, it's a vast economic machine as well, between 10% and | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
20% basically the Egyptian economy is controlled by the Egyptian | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
military. You're talking about billions of dollars to be lost, Tim. | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
What we need to understand is that Tantawi and other Egyptian generals | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
are terrified about the morning after. They want to make sure that | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
their interests and also their careers are protected. One | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
transition takes -- when transition takes place. This is not just about | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
when the presidential election takes place. It's about maintaining | :07:18. | :07:24. | |
and preserving the economic and political interest of the Egyptian | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
military. It's a fight about authority, about turf, about | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
resources. It's a very, very complicated fight and that's why, I | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
believe, that the military leadership has monstrously | :07:34. | :07:41. | |
miscalculated in the last few weeks. Thank you very much for joining us. | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
The Turkish President, Abdullah Gul, has told the BBC that Turkey is | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
preparing for the worst in neighbouring Syria and admitted | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
that the turmoil of the Arab Spring had boosted Turkey's prominence in | :07:51. | :07:57. | |
the region. He was speaking to Bridget Kendal on the eve of his | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
state visit to Britain. Istanbul's latest tourist | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
attraction, an historical panorama showing the moment the Turk irk | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
Sultan conquered the city and launched the ot Monday empire. A | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
resurgent Turkey is once again a power to be rockoned with, | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
prominent in the Arab Spring and now trying to bring change in Syria. | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
The Syrian opposition has already been given sanctuary in Turkey. | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
This protest rally is outside the Syrian consulate. Increasingly | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
there's talk of possible safe havens on the border, if Turkey is | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
prepared fro vied security. there is intervention will have | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
been in Syria, there should, they have, they should have a base to | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
move. I believe they can only move through Turkey. Turkey is very | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
important in this point. In London, President Gul told me Turkey didn't | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
want toint veen but had a plan in case the worst -- to intervene but | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
had a plan in case the worst should happen. We're all prepared for the | :09:02. | :09:08. | |
worst scenario. What does that mean? I hope it doesn't happen. | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
you're not ruling out the possibility of, for example, buffer | :09:12. | :09:22. | |
:09:22. | :09:22. | ||
zones, which Turkey would be involved in? We are not thinking | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
that, the interrogation from outside is correct. Even if there | :09:25. | :09:31. | |
was UN support and from the Arab League? Arab League speak with me | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
on Wednesday. Let's see what decision they are going to take. | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
Turkish leadership in the region, do you think Turkey can become the | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
centre of gravity for these countries? There are some who say | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
Turkey once was a great power in the region, the Otoman empire, | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
maybe it's time again for Turkey to be the centre of this part of the | :09:51. | :10:01. | |
:10:01. | :10:01. | ||
world. Look, history was there of course. We are very much realistic | :10:01. | :10:08. | |
now, we have very much rational now. We don't have an agenda in the | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
region. Turkey's influence on its neighbours isn't just political, | :10:11. | :10:18. | |
though. It's wildly successful soap op raz have gripped Arab audiences. | :10:18. | :10:24. | |
The latest is a rags to riches story about the harem of Suleiman | :10:24. | :10:29. | |
the Magnificent. On set, it's a frantic schedule. These cultural | :10:29. | :10:37. | |
exports are creating fans of Turkey across the region. | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
We are able to attract millions and the more they know about our | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
traditions and cultures, they see that we are so similar to each | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
other. By exploring more of Turkey through the series, they feel very | :10:50. | :10:58. | |
connected. And Turkey being so modern is a role model. Turkey's | :10:58. | :11:04. | |
always argued it's a bridge between east and West. In Istanbul it | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
straddles two continents. This is European soil, but all the time, | :11:08. | :11:14. | |
boats are fer rig commuters across the water to the Asian side. Part | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
of its appeal is that it offers a modern Muslim democracy with | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
European values. When you look at the human rights record, there's a | :11:22. | :11:28. | |
problem. A scrum at the book fair in Istanbul, supporters of a well | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
known publisher, who has just been jailed, suspected of links to | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
illegal curdish groups. Amazingly, Turkey has more writers an | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
journalists in prison than either China or Iran. Some fear the trend | :11:40. | :11:48. | |
is worsening. This woman has had her TV show cancelled and been | :11:48. | :11:55. | |
publicically denounced as a traitor. She fears for her safety. The first | :11:55. | :12:02. | |
real tension about me started with my criticism of politics getting | :12:02. | :12:08. | |
more authoritarian rather than more democratic, two years ago. Turkey's | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
military bands play in museums these days, no longer is this a | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
country in the grip of military rule. The region is fragile, if | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
Syria were to implode next door, there could be a new role for | :12:20. | :12:29. | |
Turkey's armed forces. Let's look at some of the day's | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
other news. 32 years after the fall of the Khmer Rouge the three most | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
senior surviving members of the group have gone on trial. They | :12:38. | :12:44. | |
include Nuon Chea, known as Brother Number Two, he was the right-hand | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
man of the Maoist regime. The three accused face charges of genocide | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
and crimes against humanity. The UN weather agency says | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere rose to another | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
high in 2010. Levels of carbon dioxide rose more than more than | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
the worst predictions of climate experts. | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
Growing concern over Iran's nuclear programme has prompted Britain, the | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
US and Canada to impose new sanctions on the country. The | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
restrictions include cutting links with financial institutions. Tehran | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
insists their nuclear ambitions are purely for peaceful purposes. | :13:21. | :13:31. | |
:13:31. | :13:38. | ||
Nuon Chea will try to win a saet in db aung san Su Kyi will stand for | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
office. The new Prime Minister in Spain is | :13:42. | :13:48. | |
preparing to tell Spaniards about the depth of the economic SIS. His | :13:48. | :13:56. | |
Popular Party won a land slide election victory over the weekend. | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
Mr Rajoy is immediately under pressure from jittery markets. They | :13:58. | :14:03. | |
want to know how he will tackle Spain's debts, deep economic crisis | :14:03. | :14:12. | |
and dire unemployment rate. For more analysis, I'm joined by Santos | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
Palacios, a Spanish financial advisor and lecturer on economic | :14:15. | :14:17. | |
issues. To many this seems like Mission Impossible, is it? | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
really isn't. There are a number of measures that can be taken without | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
getting too -- to the place where Italy and Greece are, which is | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
essentially being forced by the European Union to take those | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
measures. Spain has the the third largest deficit in the eurozone. | :14:31. | :14:38. | |
How can he cut that and stimulate growth at the same time? This is, | :14:38. | :14:44. | |
this can be done with pro-growth awe tairt measures. Something that | :14:44. | :14:51. | |
can be done is cut the fat of the state, currently we have 17 | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
regional governments, and provincial governments which double | :14:56. | :15:01. | |
or triple tasks. Direct funding will be cut. He's promise 30 | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
billion euro cuts. He hasn't said quite how yet. He hasn't said quite | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
how because you have to understand during the electoral campaign | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
everyone was in a stage of fright. Well, you know, of course, not all | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
of the measures have been able to be transmitted so far. There are | :15:16. | :15:21. | |
measures that can be taken. A key question is will the markets give | :15:21. | :15:26. | |
him time? Today, looking at the response, the markets want a plan | :15:26. | :15:28. | |
quickly. According tots constitution I think he cannot get | :15:28. | :15:34. | |
a government up and running until December 21. There are measures he | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
can take. He can create a shadow government, which he has announced | :15:38. | :15:43. | |
he will do in December. That shadow Cabinet can start announcing the | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
intention to implement those measures. Are spanned yards signed | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
up to this? They've given him ape land slide win that's because they | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
didn't want the others to win. Mariano Rajoy has tried three times | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
before. He's not particularly charismatic. Are they prepared to | :16:00. | :16:06. | |
back him on this painful journey? He has received a strong mandate | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
with his absolute majority. The difference between Spain and other | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
countries in southern Europe, like Italy and gros, is that we have | :16:13. | :16:19. | |
shown a level of ma -- and Greece, Is that we have shown a level of | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
maturity. When we had to pass before with the previous government, | :16:23. | :16:28. | |
we had to pass the reform to reduce the deficit and we had to pass the | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
pension reform, actually both parties agreed unanimously to pass | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
those. There's a level of understanding of what is needed in | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
the country, which I think is going to help us through this. To take | :16:39. | :16:49. | |
:16:49. | :16:50. | ||
the medicine like the Irish have. A public inquiry into British media | :16:50. | :16:55. | |
standards has been hearing evidence from victims of press in true Asian | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
including Hugh Grant and the parents of murdered teenager et | :16:58. | :17:03. | |
Milly Dowler. Milly's mother said when she realised messages on her | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
firm had been deleted, she thought her daughter had been alive. In | :17:07. | :17:12. | |
fact, they were being deleted by an employee of the News of the World. | :17:12. | :17:17. | |
The report contains flash photography. They suffered the | :17:17. | :17:21. | |
devastating pain of losing a blood daughter only to find their anguish | :17:21. | :17:26. | |
was confounded by the gross intrusions of tabloid journalists. | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
Bob and Sally Dowler came to the enquiry to describe how the News of | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
the World had invaded their lives. They took the witness stand | :17:34. | :17:43. | |
together. They recalled their daughter Emily, they told how one | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
day after her disappearance they had gone in private, they thought, | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
to retrace her final steps. But there was a photographer from the | :17:52. | :17:57. | |
News of the World lurking nearby and a picture of them appeared in | :17:57. | :18:02. | |
Sunday's edition. I remember seeing it and I was really cross because | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
we did not see anyone. They had taken the picture with a telephoto | :18:06. | :18:12. | |
lens. How on earth did they know we were doing that walk on that day? | :18:12. | :18:18. | |
It felt like an intrusion into a really private moment. And there | :18:19. | :18:23. | |
was the hacking of Milly's telephone, again by the News of the | :18:23. | :18:28. | |
World. Messages were deleted from had previously fought voicemail box | :18:28. | :18:31. | |
which meant Sally Dowler could get through to the voicemail and it | :18:31. | :18:36. | |
gave her hope. We were sitting in reception and I rang her telephone | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
and it clicked through on to her voice mail, so I heard her voice. | :18:41. | :18:47. | |
It was like, she has picked up her voicemail, she is alive, and it was | :18:47. | :18:52. | |
then. Tonight the former News of the World investigator denied | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
deleting Milly Dowler's voicemail messages. In a statement his | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
solicitor said he expressed sincere sympathy for the Berra family and | :19:01. | :19:09. | |
confirms he did not delete calls and had no reason to do so. Then | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
came a very public figure full of passionate complaint, the actor | :19:12. | :19:17. | |
Hugh Grant. His principal targets were the Daily Mail and the Mail on | :19:17. | :19:21. | |
Sunday. He said the Mail on Sunday had once falsely accused him of | :19:21. | :19:27. | |
having an affair with a women in Los Angeles. How, he wondered, had | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
they come across the story? I would love to hear what the Daily Mail or | :19:31. | :19:36. | |
the Sunday Mail's explanation was if it was not phone hacking. | :19:36. | :19:41. | |
Recently, Mr Grant has fathered at baby with a former girlfriend. They | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
tried to keep the birth secret, it worked until he went to visit her | :19:45. | :19:51. | |
in hospital. The day after that the phone calls started from the Daily | :19:51. | :19:58. | |
Mail saying, we know about the baby, we know about you are visiting and | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
we know what name she checked under and we are going to write this | :20:01. | :20:06. | |
story. His concluding point is that the press is the only media | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
industry in Britain regulated by itself and that had not worked for | :20:09. | :20:15. | |
more than 20 years. The Mail on Sunday says it utterly refutes Mr | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
Grant's suggestion that it had obtained the story by phone hacking. | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
It says his claims are mendacious smears driven by his hatred of the | :20:24. | :20:29. | |
media. The witness testimony will continue and it is expected to last | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
into the new year and will include accounts by newspaper editors and | :20:33. | :20:40. | |
executives. The global response to HIV and Aids | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
has forced the epidemic into decline, that's the verdict of a | :20:43. | :20:51. | |
new report by UNAIDS. The study found that last year 34 million | :20:51. | :20:56. | |
people were living with HIV. The annual number of new infections has | :20:56. | :21:03. | |
been reduced by 21% since the epidemic was at its peak in 1997. | :21:03. | :21:08. | |
That means HIV infections are at their lowest level in 14 years. But | :21:08. | :21:13. | |
sub-Saharan Africa remains a cause for sued concerned. South Africa | :21:13. | :21:18. | |
alone has more than 5.5 million people living with HIV, more than | :21:18. | :21:22. | |
any other country. One group working to cut down on the spread | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
of Aids is Safe Point and I am joined by Marc Koska who has | :21:26. | :21:32. | |
invented a single used syringe. Syringes used repeatedly in the | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
developed world, what are some of the worst scenarios you have | :21:37. | :21:44. | |
experienced? I had visited slums and clinics and hospitals and | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
seemed 50 patients and there is only one syringe in the clinic, so | :21:48. | :21:55. | |
you can draw your own conclusions. Where they cleaned in a perfunctory | :21:55. | :22:00. | |
way in between or not? No, just one after the other being used to | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
deliver medicine. We have undercover footage to prove this. | :22:04. | :22:10. | |
Also on a grand scale you have got countries such as Ethiopia with 82 | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
million people and their only procure at 60 million syringes a | :22:14. | :22:20. | |
year, well below what they need. The solution is to cut-off that | :22:20. | :22:25. | |
route to the opportunity to re-use as the Rangers. This is the one I | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
invented. It is made on existing equipment and made for the same | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
price, used in the same way. After use if someone tries to re-use it | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
it locks and breaks and you cannot use it again. Our they are not | :22:38. | :22:43. | |
expensive? They are exactly the same prize and we manufacture them | :22:43. | :22:49. | |
through a licensing system and we have 13 factories around the world. | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
How much of the problem is to do with ignorance or the blind faith | :22:53. | :22:58. | |
that people put into doctors and nurses who must be trained? | :22:58. | :23:04. | |
enormously. It is an enormous amount. You often hear the | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
expression that the doctor is second to God. Whatever the doctor | :23:08. | :23:14. | |
prescribes or gives them, they will accept. That is something that Safe | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
Point is trying to undo. We are doing large information campaigns | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
to bring awareness, a warning to the public that they have to pay | :23:22. | :23:27. | |
attention when receiving medical health care. You produce billions | :23:27. | :23:34. | |
of the syringes. 3 billion today. Are they been taken up? Are you | :23:34. | :23:39. | |
dealing with agencies to get them to use them? UNICEF is one of our | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
biggest customers on the immunisation side, but also there | :23:42. | :23:46. | |
is the other side which is the curative market, which is much more | :23:46. | :23:52. | |
fragmented and it is a lot harder. There are not agencies dealing in | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
this that would be our natural customers. We have to use our | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
manufacturing base to use their normal distribution lies to get | :24:00. | :24:05. | |
that out to the customers. Marc Koska, thank you very much. | :24:05. | :24:10. | |
It is one of the biggest nights in the American music business ahead | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
of the Grammys with a stellar line- up. One of the top winners this | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
year was Adele who won three of perm four nominations at the | :24:19. | :24:24. | |
American Music Awards ceremony in Los Angeles. Other big winners were | :24:24. | :24:34. | |
:24:34. | :24:40. | ||
tailor a swift and the rapper Nicki She is the girl from north London | :24:40. | :24:46. | |
at making a big noise around the world. Adele swept to glory at the | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
American Music Awards with prizes including Best Female Pop artist | :24:50. | :24:59. | |
and best album. Adele. But she was unable to accept the honours | :24:59. | :25:05. | |
herself after recent throat surgery. Also scoring a hat-trick of awards | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
was Taylor's wife. It was the golden girl of country music we | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
took the most coveted award of the night, artist of the year, beating | :25:14. | :25:21. | |
Lady Gaga. She went home empty- handed. Oh, my gosh. Thank you to | :25:21. | :25:26. | |
the fans, please never change. I cannot believe this is happening to | :25:26. | :25:31. | |
me. This is so crazy. The show was opened with an explosive | :25:31. | :25:36. | |
performance from rapper Nicki Minaj, another of the night's big winners. | :25:36. | :25:46. | |
:25:46. | :25:50. | ||
She's good two awards, best artist and best album. It was a very good | :25:50. | :25:58. | |
night for a marine five. The audience left with a big smile on | :25:58. | :26:06. | |
their faces. Let's take you back live to Cairo | :26:06. | :26:11. | |
where tens of thousands of people are cramming into the main square | :26:11. | :26:17. | |
which we had seen earlier in the year with similar numbers. Now | :26:17. | :26:25. | |
there is real anger about the slow pace of reform and also anger at | :26:25. | :26:31. | |
the military, formerly allies of this revolution. The Egyptian | :26:31. | :26:34. | |
ruling military council is yet to accept the resignation tendered by | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
the cabinet on Sunday, but many more people are gathering in | :26:38. | :26:45. | |
central Cairo this evening, calling for radical change. That is it from | :26:45. | :26:55. | |
:26:55. | :27:01. | ||
the programme. Coming up, the Many of us had a grey day on Monday, | :27:01. | :27:06. | |
a lot of that mist and fog reforming overnight in south- | :27:06. | :27:12. | |
eastern England, but there is also some rain. It is all tied in with | :27:12. | :27:15. | |
his weather front here and behind it a ridge of high pressure | :27:15. | :27:19. | |
building in, bringing with it some clearer skies later on in the night | :27:20. | :27:24. | |
to Northern Ireland and western Scotland. The mist and fog in the | :27:24. | :27:27. | |
south-east should lift in the morning, but we are stuck with a | :27:27. | :27:32. | |
lot of cloud. Still potentially some light rain across northern | :27:32. | :27:35. | |
England and down into the Midlands will stop in the south-east corner | :27:35. | :27:41. | |
it is dry and a little bit misty. Temperatures in London are at 13. | :27:41. | :27:45. | |
But there is a chance later on in the afternoon that we could see | :27:45. | :27:50. | |
some breaks in the cloud in the south-west of England. There is the | :27:50. | :27:54. | |
possibility of some brighter spells in the afternoon. The best sunshine | :27:54. | :27:59. | |
tomorrow afternoon is across Northern Ireland. A lovely day, a | :27:59. | :28:03. | |
different date in store. A lot of Scotland is still enjoying the | :28:04. | :28:07. | |
sunshine in the afternoon, but there is thicker cloud moving into | :28:07. | :28:12. |
