:01:58. > :02:02.summit. The curtain-raiser was here at the Elysee Palace, with a
:02:02. > :02:06.meeting between the leaders of France and Germany, the two most
:02:06. > :02:11.powerful country in the eurozone. They embraced and called for a new
:02:11. > :02:15.treaty which would insure that overspending never happened again,
:02:15. > :02:18.with automatic sanctions for those countries who broke the rules. The
:02:18. > :02:25.two leaders wanted to stress their determination to do what was needed

:02:37. > :02:42.situation and the responsibility that lies on our solders.
:02:42. > :02:46.German Chancellor said she would prefer that all 27 members of the
:02:46. > :02:51.European Union signed up for a treaty change but would accept it
:02:51. > :02:55.if it was limited to countries in the eurozone. We are open to
:02:55. > :03:00.changes for the changes for the 27, but also 17 eurozone members if
:03:00. > :03:05.necessary. We are absolutely determined to keep the euro as a
:03:05. > :03:09.stable currency and an important contributor to stability. The two
:03:09. > :03:12.leaders want an agreement by March. They had by signing up to a tough
:03:12. > :03:16.deal on spending limits, it will make it easier for the European
:03:16. > :03:21.Central Bank to help the country's struggling to finance their debts.
:03:21. > :03:27.What has been agreed? These two leaders are set on arguing for an
:03:27. > :03:32.EU treaty, although many details remain unclear, will there will be
:03:32. > :03:36.strict budget limit. Deficit will not be able to exceed 3% of GDP,
:03:36. > :03:40.and there will be automatic sanctions for those who break the
:03:40. > :03:46.rules. Entrance, there is huge concern that these changes will
:03:46. > :03:51.impinge on national sovereignty -- in France. Those sanctions will
:03:51. > :03:56.rely on Brussels. The opposition fears that any oversight of budgets

:04:10. > :04:16.treaty change with the backing of all 27 members, then Britain as
:04:16. > :04:19.well will have to give its support. Some countries may decide to hold
:04:19. > :04:23.referendums. Asked about the likelihood of that in Britain, the
:04:23. > :04:27.Prime Minister said he did not think the issue would arise.
:04:27. > :04:31.approach is very simple, we have legislated now so it is impossible
:04:31. > :04:35.for a British Government to pass power from Britain to Brussels
:04:35. > :04:39.without asking the British people in the referendum first. At a
:04:39. > :04:43.summit later this week, the French and Germans will seek approval from
:04:43. > :04:47.the other European Union members for treaty change. The big question
:04:47. > :04:53.is how long will all this take, and whether it addresses the
:04:53. > :04:58.fundamental problem of debt and low growth.
:04:58. > :05:05.Let's go to Paris and speak to our Correspondent there. Prior to this
:05:05. > :05:09.meeting today, Angela Merkel and Sarkozy were divided on issues. How
:05:09. > :05:13.much ground has President Sarkozy given? If you listen to the
:05:13. > :05:17.Socialist Party in France, he has given quite a lot of ground. We
:05:17. > :05:22.have had a statement saying he has given ground on automatic penalties,
:05:22. > :05:25.the eurobond, and the role -- the role of the European Central Bank.
:05:25. > :05:29.In the words of the European -- the Socialist Party, he has surrendered
:05:29. > :05:34.to the might of the German Chancellor. You have to put this in
:05:34. > :05:37.the context of an election battle which is already under way. And the
:05:38. > :05:42.timing of this treaty, March, as President Sarkozy says, that is
:05:42. > :05:46.just a munched -- a month before they go to the polls. There is a
:05:46. > :05:50.time-frame for the President witches important. On the front
:05:50. > :05:53.page of one of the highbrow newspapers here in France, one in
:05:53. > :05:57.three people say they would like the return of the franc, and that
:05:57. > :06:04.tells you how much Euro-scepticism there is in front at the moment.
:06:04. > :06:07.had been pushing for the ECB to be the lender of last resort. The
:06:07. > :06:13.wording that came out today it was that the ECB can step in a more
:06:13. > :06:17.forcefully, what does that mean exactly? The new head of the ECB
:06:17. > :06:22.said last week there was important sequencing or graphic --
:06:22. > :06:26.choreography, if you want. They want to get the longer term picture
:06:26. > :06:30.right first, and other things flow from that. Confidence flows
:06:30. > :06:34.backward, said the head of the bank. We have already seen that happening
:06:34. > :06:37.today. Italian yields have fallen below 6% for the first time in
:06:38. > :06:42.weeks, the market have responded positively. It you get the long-
:06:42. > :06:47.term picture right, it will have done that pressure will lead it,
:06:47. > :06:52.yield prices will go down. When that with austerity packages we
:06:52. > :06:56.have seen in Italy, Spain and Greece recently, we have a response
:06:56. > :07:01.from the politicians, a response from the banks. The one unknown
:07:01. > :07:04.factor, it comes back to the front page of the newspaper, is what the
:07:04. > :07:07.people may commit. A lot of things that have happened in the eurozone
:07:07. > :07:12.in recent months are pretty on constitutional in terms of
:07:12. > :07:16.technocrat government. That opinion of the people has not been tested.
:07:16. > :07:20.Once the austerity missions kick in in the next few years, we will see
:07:20. > :07:25.what people make of it and how much appetite there is for the eurozone
:07:25. > :07:31.in these countries. Let's speak to the journalist,
:07:31. > :07:34.author and commentator John. 0 eurozone meltdown averted today?
:07:34. > :07:40.That evening. One of the curiosities of this long-running
:07:40. > :07:44.crisis is that failure is playing for everybody to see. Market's
:07:44. > :07:48.collapse, riots take place on the street. It is very tangible when
:07:48. > :07:54.leaders do not get it right. It is much harder to determine went
:07:54. > :07:57.leaders do get it right, when they do come to agreement, because such
:07:57. > :08:01.is the nature of various European institutions that this will be a
:08:01. > :08:05.slow burn. Whether it takes referendums or parliamentary
:08:05. > :08:12.approval in either that 17 or 27 countries, this is not going to
:08:12. > :08:16.happen overnight. Are their most fundamental task, Angela Merkel and
:08:16. > :08:20.President Sarkozy today, was to avoid that Ovett failure. Italy is
:08:20. > :08:26.now out of the danger zone, in tandem with what Mario Monti has
:08:26. > :08:30.been saying. Absolutely, Italy and Spain, the yields have been coming
:08:30. > :08:34.down. Anything can still happen over the next few months. It is not
:08:34. > :08:40.as if they have waved a magic wand and all these economic problems
:08:40. > :08:45.have gone. We really are going to get into an interesting new phase.
:08:45. > :08:51.I am sure this agreement will come into being roughly, give or take a
:08:51. > :08:56.few weeks, around my option. The bigger question is, what -- around
:08:56. > :09:01.March. But what will public opinion think of short-term austerity, not
:09:01. > :09:05.just that, but fundamentally a whole new way of being? And also
:09:05. > :09:09.members of the population, rightly or wrongly, the advent of the
:09:09. > :09:13.European Union was not just European integration, it was the
:09:13. > :09:18.perception of a better lifestyle and that has been put on hold for
:09:18. > :09:24.countries around the union. AUC it as a victory for Angela Merkel
:09:24. > :09:28.today in terms of what has been agreed? -- book you see it as a
:09:29. > :09:33.victory? How would you react to Eurosceptic commentators who say
:09:33. > :09:38.their aim -- she may be shoring up her position domestically at the
:09:38. > :09:45.expense of the eurozone? Indubitably, she has one. I do not
:09:45. > :09:49.think German commentators will say this is a victory, it was just
:09:49. > :09:53.avoiding defeat. There is a different criticism of Germany
:09:53. > :09:58.which is fundamentally it economic stability, indeed success, over the
:09:58. > :10:03.last few years, has been to create a Chinese style a surplus and get
:10:03. > :10:08.other people to buy its goods or currency which was fundamentally
:10:08. > :10:13.devalued, because the German economy is so much stronger than
:10:13. > :10:19.the others. That was for the past. It is a new situation, and Merkel
:10:19. > :10:23.is very much there first among equals, even with the French. In
:10:23. > :10:28.many ways, those countries that wish to state in the core of the
:10:28. > :10:33.European Union are going to have to accept it, with it -- whatever the
:10:33. > :10:38.gripes of commentators and opposition politicians.
:10:38. > :10:44.Let's have a look at the other news. The man who used to lead Ivory
:10:44. > :10:49.Coast, Laurent Gbagbo, has appeared before the international crime of
:10:49. > :10:52.human right at the Hague. He is charged with crimes of humanity. He
:10:52. > :10:56.is the first former head of state to be tried since the court's
:10:56. > :11:01.inception in 2002. Large quantities of radioactive
:11:01. > :11:06.water have escaped from the crippled figure she met nuclear
:11:06. > :11:10.parts in Japan and state -- some may have leaked into the Pacific.
:11:10. > :11:16.45 tons of water was found at side of a purification device at the
:11:16. > :11:19.weekend. Scientists have discovered that
:11:20. > :11:26.people's and need for sleep might be linked to their genes. They find
:11:26. > :11:30.that people carried a variant of a certain gene required almost 30
:11:30. > :11:34.minutes more sleep each night than others. British and German
:11:34. > :11:40.researchers found that almost a 5th of the people in Europe carry that
:11:40. > :11:48.very and 18. The American -- that a variant team.
:11:48. > :11:53.The American space energy Nasser has discovered another planet that
:11:53. > :11:58.may have water in liquid form. It lies in what is known as the
:11:58. > :12:01.habitable zone around a star. Scientists are excited because it
:12:01. > :12:05.is the first planet to a 7 -- resemble Earth in its size and
:12:05. > :12:08.orbit. Thousands of protest and it's up on
:12:08. > :12:15.-- thousands of protesters are on the streets of Moscow this evening
:12:15. > :12:21.demanding honest elections after Vladamir Putin won the election but
:12:21. > :12:26.with serious questions about fairness. United Russia one but
:12:26. > :12:29.with a significantly smaller share of the vote. Mr Putin is running
:12:29. > :12:34.for president in March with the hope of returning officer for a
:12:34. > :12:37.decade. In Moscow today, they were
:12:37. > :12:43.rebuilding the Kremlin. But Russia's most powerful politician
:12:43. > :12:47.has a tough job ahead. Trying to restore his own popularity. In
:12:47. > :12:52.parliamentary elections, Vladamir Putin's party received a surprise
:12:53. > :12:57.setback. It was victorious but with less votes than last time and it
:12:57. > :13:01.will have few MPs. Mr Putin was clearly an amused by the result. It
:13:01. > :13:09.is the latest sign that Russians may be losing patience with him.
:13:10. > :13:14.And here is another. Last month, Vladamir Putin was booed and hissed
:13:14. > :13:18.when he put in an appearance at a martial arts fight. The Russian
:13:18. > :13:22.Prime Minister intends to run for president again next spring. It was
:13:22. > :13:25.not an encouraging start to the campaign trail. Vladamir Putin is
:13:25. > :13:29.still expected to win the presidential election next March.
:13:29. > :13:33.But these signs in a drop in support will be a worry for him as
:13:33. > :13:37.he prepares to launch his campaign to get back into the Kremlin. There
:13:37. > :13:44.was more criticism today. International observers said Mr
:13:44. > :13:51.Peter and's party had had an unfair advantage in the election. The vote
:13:51. > :13:54.was slanted in favour of the ruling party. As evidenced for the lack of
:13:54. > :13:59.independence for the election administration, the partiality of
:13:59. > :14:04.most media, and the undue interference of State authorities
:14:04. > :14:08.at different levels. But these people do not agree. It is the
:14:08. > :14:14.Kremlin ponds and -- gremlin sponsored youth movement. Their
:14:14. > :14:19.party to mark the end of the elections and to support to tempt
:14:19. > :14:27.and President Medvedev. His -- Vladamir Putin's challenge is to
:14:27. > :14:31.get the wider population on side. The deputy director of transparency
:14:31. > :14:35.International in Russia joins us now, you have seen demonstrations
:14:35. > :14:39.this evening. Is the writing on the wall for Prime Minister Vladimir
:14:39. > :14:43.Putin? I have just come back from the demonstration, which took place
:14:43. > :14:47.in the centre of Moscow. I would say it was the biggest
:14:47. > :14:56.demonstration in Moscow in the last, I don't know, the last 10 years,
:14:56. > :15:01.probably. How much of a threat is this for United Russia, and what
:15:01. > :15:08.examples have you got about the electoral process been flawed?
:15:08. > :15:12.this is just, well, this is not the end of Vladamir Putin whatsoever.
:15:12. > :15:18.That is for sure. This is just a signal for him that he is losing
:15:18. > :15:22.his popularity he used to have. Last elections were, well, people
:15:22. > :15:27.were just ignoring them, more or less, and just agreed with whatever
:15:27. > :15:31.results was drawn. This time, it was not so. But if you are talking
:15:31. > :15:35.about fraud during the elections, we should be looking at the broader
:15:35. > :15:41.picture, not only on the day of the elections, but also on the previous
:15:41. > :15:46.work which has been done. There was a lot of mist use of administrative
:15:46. > :15:50.resources. Have you submitted reports to the upright is about
:15:50. > :15:56.that? Had you raised this at an official level and what response
:15:56. > :16:01.did you get? Yes. We have sent quite a number of complaints,
:16:01. > :16:06.starting from the complaint in particular issues, for example, a
:16:06. > :16:11.city mayor was promoting the United Russia party ought the principle at
:16:11. > :16:17.school was promoting that party. Misusing their administrative
:16:17. > :16:20.resources and positions as officials. We did not at any
:16:21. > :16:25.responses so far. This mare, for example, he was fined for a small
:16:25. > :16:30.sum of money for -- by his prosecutor office. As a final
:16:30. > :16:37.thought, if you strip away all of the result that you think are
:16:37. > :16:42.questionable, would this invalidate united Russia's a win today? It is
:16:42. > :16:46.really hard to estimate exact numbers. They will not have the
:16:46. > :16:53.majority Paul Shaw, and they will be be probably at the same level as
:16:53. > :16:56.the Communist Party, that is our estimation. Also, there are two
:16:56. > :17:01.parts of the fraud. The fraud which has been taking part -- taking
:17:01. > :17:07.place during the whole campaign, when it TV ads of the opposition
:17:07. > :17:10.party were taken away from the airwaves, when officials were
:17:10. > :17:17.promoting parties. And also the frauds that had been done during
:17:17. > :17:22.the election days. Reports have been, on the internet, a lot, and I
:17:22. > :17:26.hope the parties have would submit as complaints. The problem is,
:17:26. > :17:36.independent observers cannot submit complaints, only political parties
:17:36. > :17:36.
:17:37. > :17:38.Thank you very much for joining us. Eight years ago, we saw the
:17:39. > :17:41.creation of the Kimberley Process, a government-led certification
:17:42. > :17:44.scheme designed to eradicate the trade in conflict or blood diamonds.
:17:44. > :17:47.Today, one of the charities involved in setting it up says it
:17:47. > :17:55.will walk out. Global Witness claims some of the governments
:17:55. > :18:00.involved in Kimberley have no interest in reforming it.
:18:00. > :18:06.These are diamond field tos in Zimbabwe. They are among the
:18:06. > :18:10.richest in the world and were taken over by the Zimbabwe military.
:18:10. > :18:18.Exports have been suspended following reports of human rights
:18:18. > :18:26.abuses. Earlier this year, the Camberley process, set up to stop
:18:26. > :18:30.diamonds are funding some of Africa's most brutal civil wars,
:18:30. > :18:38.allowed to Zimbabwe to start exporting from here again. Global
:18:38. > :18:42.Witness has said this is like Diamond on the ring. They say the
:18:42. > :18:45.scheme is a failure. Christine Gordon has written
:18:45. > :18:49.extensively about the diamond industry and is an observer of the
:18:49. > :18:57.Kimberley Process. She joins me now via webcam.
:18:57. > :19:03.On what grounds do you think the Kimberley Process has now stalled?
:19:03. > :19:08.It is not so much stalled, reforms that have been asked for several
:19:08. > :19:16.years now appear to be going nowhere. That appears to be why
:19:16. > :19:21.Global Witness has pulled out. The Canberra process had these flaws at
:19:21. > :19:25.the very start, but there has been a universal frustration with the
:19:25. > :19:33.failure to close the loopholes in the Kimberley Process, in
:19:33. > :19:38.particular, the capacity to trade diamonds from the point of origin.
:19:38. > :19:44.Has the Kimberley Process never worked efficiently? Yes, I would
:19:44. > :19:48.say it has never work to officially as it should be able to do.
:19:48. > :19:58.people buying diamonds now, thinking the our ethical diamonds,
:19:58. > :19:58.
:19:58. > :20:04.could well be purchasing stocks that have been traded for...?
:20:04. > :20:08.and the jewellers Brander their diamonds so you have a better idea
:20:08. > :20:14.of where they are coming from. But there are a lot of diamonds were
:20:14. > :20:19.people do not know where they have come from. The point of the
:20:19. > :20:28.certification is that the diamonds are certified with up -- with a
:20:28. > :20:35.country of origin. His is Zimbabwe the critical country here? It is
:20:35. > :20:45.not only about Zimbabwe. It is in part, because there has been so
:20:45. > :20:55.much diamond smuggling. Conflict diamonds from Zimbabwe have been
:20:55. > :20:56.
:20:56. > :21:06.sold in Antwerp. Many loopholes have remained in place. Smuggling
:21:06. > :21:09.
:21:09. > :21:13.in general, the loopholes do remain. They are big enough, not that huge
:21:13. > :21:17.quantities of diamonds can get through, but that quantities from
:21:17. > :21:23.Zimbabwe can they get through. There are serious issues here.
:21:23. > :21:26.Thank you very much for joining us. Major international talks aimed at
