This is BBC World News Today with me, Zeinab Badawi. Inside Syria | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
with the Free Army: We have a special report from the suburb of | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
the capital Damascus that is controlled by anti-Asaad forces who | :00:17. | :00:24. | |
have defected from the Syrian army. How much of a challenge are they to | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
the regime? If there is international | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
intervention, it's good. We are going to win - whether there is | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
intervention from outside or not. The Frenchman at the centre of the | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
sub-standard breast implant scandal is under arrest and faces charges | :00:38. | :00:47. | |
of manslaughter and fraud. We are relieved, even if it's late. | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
We want a formal inquiry to be opened, and we want him placed on | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
bail so he can't leave the country. Protecting Pakistani women from | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
acid attacks and domestic violence - can new laws stop these brutal | :00:57. | :01:04. | |
attacks? Also coming up in the programme: | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
Forced to flee the angry crowds during an Australia Day celebration | :01:06. | :01:09. | |

Hello, and welcome. The pressure on Syria looks set to increase now | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
that the Arab League has announced it is to ask the UN Security | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
Council to back its plan to try to end the violence. On Sunday, the | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
League called for the Syrian president, Bashar al-Assad, to step | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
down and hand power to his Deputy. Inside Syria itself, defectors who | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
have formed the Free Syrian Army now control the Damascus suburb of | :01:57. | :02:04. | |
Douma. Our Middle East editor, Jeremy Bowen, was helped by local | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
activists to enter the area last night, and has just sent this | :02:07. | :02:17. | |
report. Look at Central Damascus, and you | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
might think this city is calm. But when night falls, head for the | :02:22. | :02:31. | |
suburb of Duma. Getting there is not easy. But at the end of a muddy | :02:31. | :02:37. | |
lane it is a checkpoint, controlled by the Free Syrian Army. A loose | :02:37. | :02:43. | |
alliance of army defectors, fighting President Assad's military. | :02:43. | :02:53. | |
Locals say they have kept at the President's out most of the time. - | :02:53. | :03:01. | |
- they have kept the President's men. The President says they are on | :03:01. | :03:08. | |
armed gang. They say they are protecting the people. Pass this on | :03:08. | :03:14. | |
to the world, our revolution is peaceable. We don't attack the | :03:14. | :03:21. | |
regime - they attack us. We are in control here. Duma is ours, and | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
Syria is ours. The army and security forces keep tried to get | :03:25. | :03:34. | |
into hair, but we defeat them. -- keep trying to get into here. Duma | :03:34. | :03:42. | |
is forbidding and dark, with power cuts and fuel shortages. The | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
Knights of very cold. What has changed around here that means we | :03:46. | :03:54. | |
are able to move then? Some of defectors are preferred -- | :03:54. | :04:03. | |
protecting us. Inside the city, there are perfect as. Fighting for | :04:03. | :04:10. | |
Duma? Yes. Slowly, people emerged from the Evening Prayer. Too often | :04:10. | :04:19. | |
for them, nervous shadows, they head to the mosque, when numbers | :04:19. | :04:29. | |
:04:29. | :04:42. | ||
make them filled strong. -- field We want to kill by shall as sad. He | :04:42. | :04:52. | |
:04:52. | :04:55. | ||
has to be killed. -- bash out a as sad. He killed our family's. He has | :04:55. | :05:05. | |
:05:05. | :05:07. | ||
to be killed. The young men were full of bravado. -- we have to kill | :05:07. | :05:13. | |
the President. Do you want foreign intervention? If there is | :05:13. | :05:21. | |
international intervention, that is good. We will win. The intervention | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
will accelerate the step down of the President. Their enemy, the | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
President, also has strong supporters. But for protesters | :05:31. | :05:39. | |
across the country, there is no turning back. This is bad news for | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
President as sad. An important part of his city, in that hands of the | :05:43. | :05:53. | |
:05:53. | :06:05. | ||
people, and defender by men who They said it was getting dangerous, | :06:05. | :06:12. | |
and puzzled us out. The security forces were back, arresting more | :06:12. | :06:22. | |
people. The former head of the French | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
company PIP - which is at the centre of an international scare | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
over faulty breast implants - has been arrested in the south of | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
France. Jean-Claude Mas, 72, is being questioned as part of an | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
investigation into manslaughter and involuntary injuries. Thousands of | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
women around the world have been advised to have their PIP implants | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
removed as they contain cheap, industrial-grade silicone instead | :06:42. | :06:52. | |
:06:52. | :06:59. | ||
He has been hiding in isolated luxury, on the green coastline of | :06:59. | :07:06. | |
the French Riviera, and paid for by the victims of the scandal. But | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
today, Jean-Claude Mas was finally arrested, with the woman he claims | :07:11. | :07:18. | |
to have left. His lawyer said the man was co-operating with police, | :07:18. | :07:24. | |
and dismissed the search of the property as a formality. But | :07:24. | :07:30. | |
investigators allege he has been very clever in far -- hiding his | :07:30. | :07:36. | |
fortune. This property is in the name of his girlfriend, as is the | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
sight of his abandoned PIP Warehouse. The company was | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
liquidated in March, 2010, but today, we found a factory littered | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
with documents and abandoned stock. The equipment gives an air of | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
respectability, but the reality was different. Jean-Claude Mas filled | :07:56. | :08:03. | |
the m plants with an industrial gel. -- implants. Jean-Claude Mas said | :08:03. | :08:09. | |
his company had thought European inspectors for 13 years. He said | :08:09. | :08:15. | |
his staff did what they could to hide the gel. He also said that his | :08:15. | :08:22. | |
victims were "psychologically fragile", and were only after him | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
on his money. 20 women have been diagnosed with cancer, but no | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
direct link has been established with the implants. The major | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
problem is the rate of rupture - 5% higher than a normal cases. Lawyers | :08:37. | :08:46. | |
and France said that the arrest is "excellent use". TRANSLATION: We | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
are relieved, even if it is late. We want a formal inquiry to be | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
opened, and we want him placed on bail. Jean-Claude Mas will be held | :08:56. | :09:04. | |
in Marseille for 24 hours, before investigators will decide to charge | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
him. He complains he is not in good health. There is unlikely to be | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
sympathy with the women he has duped. | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
According to the company's website, PIP exported to more than 60 | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
countries. At one stage, it was the third biggest supplier of silicone | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
implants in the world. Concerns were first raised in 2009, but it's | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
understood that PIP began to use industrial-grade silicone as far | :09:27. | :09:35. | |
industrial-grade silicone as far back as 2001. Up to 500,000 women | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
in 65 different countries have had these type of implants fitted since | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
then. Health officials in Germany, Czech Republic, the Netherlands, | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
France and several Latin American countries say the implants should | :09:43. | :09:48. | |
be removed. However, Britain, Italy, Spain and others say removal is not | :09:48. | :09:57. | |
Our correspondent, Christian Fraser, joins us live from Marseille now, | :09:57. | :10:07. | |
:10:07. | :10:13. | ||
where police are holding Jean- Claude Mas. He sounds unsympathetic. | :10:13. | :10:19. | |
It is a very good point. From the transcripts I read, there is no end | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
of the at all for thousands of women around the world facing a | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
choice about whether to have these implants removed, not to mention | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
the cost incurred. In Britain, the government will not pay for these | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
implants to be taken out, so many women will have to lobby private | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
clinics. He has been hit today for most of the day, answering | :10:41. | :10:47. | |
questions about these allegations we have read about. We are told the | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
prosecutor, who has been poring over the file, has got to a judge | :10:51. | :10:56. | |
tonight, and we believe he may also be taken to be judged to be read | :10:56. | :11:03. | |
the charges. Have you managed to talk to local people, or Billy much | :11:03. | :11:12. | |
information about Jean-Claude Mas? Who is he? -- all glean much | :11:12. | :11:18. | |
information. There was an arrest warrant for him, part by the police | :11:18. | :11:26. | |
in Costa Rica. -- filed. They reported he had a drinking and | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
gambling problem. He has been under arrest a day, but I have been in | :11:31. | :11:38. | |
the factories. It is obvious he was exporting all over the world. Some | :11:38. | :11:43. | |
boxers were marked up for France, America, Britain, and, of course, | :11:43. | :11:51. | |
France. He was exporting it would be cheaper gel, cutting his costs | :11:51. | :11:56. | |
and cornering the market. There is a lot of frustration hair for | :11:56. | :12:06. | |
:12:06. | :12:08. | ||
Now a look at some of the day's other news: David Cameron has said | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
it's time for eurozone countries to make bold moves to solve their | :12:11. | :12:17. | |
economic crises. Speaking at the World Economic Forum, in Davos, Mr | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
Cameron said the eurozone had failed to meet the criteria for | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
successful monetary union. He said Europe's lack of competitiveness | :12:22. | :12:32. | |
:12:32. | :12:32. | ||
remained its "Achilles Heel". The medical charity Medecins Sans | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
Frontieres has suspended its operations in detention centres in | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
the Libyan city of Misrata because of what it says are persistent | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
cases of torture. MSF says it has treated more that 100 people for | :12:41. | :12:47. | |
torture-related injuries at the centres. | :12:47. | :12:57. | |
President good luck Jonathan has challenged the Islamist group. He | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
said military confrontation would not eliminate terror attacks. He | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
said what was needed was an urban grid enabling environment for young | :13:06. | :13:16. | |
:13:16. | :13:23. | ||
people do find jobs ". In Bulgaria, an alert was declared | :13:23. | :13:30. | |
as villagers were left without power. | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
Pakistan is set to introduce new laws which will criminalise forced | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
marriage and acid attacks on women. The laws will also mean tougher | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
sentences in cases of domestic violence. But, as Aleem Maqbool | :13:38. | :13:46. | |
Cases of brutality against women are often carried out supposedly in | :13:46. | :13:54. | |
the name of family honour. She was just 16 when she says her | :13:54. | :14:04. | |
:14:04. | :14:22. | ||
husband woke her up in the middle Longer than usual to get water from | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
a well and he thought she was having an affair. Her husband's | :14:25. | :14:31. | |
been on the run since the attack. Salma says she won't be at peace | :14:31. | :14:41. | |
:14:41. | :15:05. | ||
Don't want their women to go outside the home. They think if | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
they decide about their life they will take wrong decision, so they | :15:08. | :15:16. | |
want them in their homes. This woman is in her 50s. She was in her | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
home after an argument with her son's wife when she says two men | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
burst into the yard. She recognised them as relatives of her daughter | :15:23. | :15:28. | |
in law. She says they forced her into her room, where they beat her | :15:28. | :15:38. | |
:15:38. | :15:43. | ||
and raped her. She says, "Since what happened to me, I have no life. | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
It's like I have a disease with no cure. It's difficult for me to eat. | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
"There are countless women in Pakistan for whom change is coming | :15:52. | :15:59. | |
far too slowly. Let's talk more in general about | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
domestic violence against women. Joining us now is Laura Turquet | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
from UN women, she's author of the UN report progress of the world's | :16:07. | :16:17. | |
:16:17. | :16:24. | ||
It is estimated that up to 60% of women will face violence in their | :16:24. | :16:29. | |
lifetime, whether that his crimes lifetime, whether that his crimes | :16:29. | :16:34. | |
in the name of one or sexual harassment. As a result of the huge | :16:34. | :16:41. | |
scale of it, the Secretary-General of the UN has described it as a | :16:41. | :16:47. | |
"great human rights violation". There is a need to accelerate our | :16:47. | :16:52. | |
efforts in this area. We can see you can introduce laws, but that | :16:52. | :16:57. | |
doesn't deliver results necessarily, does it? The authorities often turn | :16:57. | :17:05. | |
a blind eye. Passing laws on violence against women is a very | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
critical first step, but it is only a first step. One of the things we | :17:10. | :17:15. | |
highlighted is that the laws must be drafted in such a way as to make | :17:15. | :17:21. | |
it very clear to the police, for example, that what they must do in | :17:21. | :17:27. | |
order to week -- meet women's needs. It will also ensure that shelters | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
can be provided. Regarding the police, it is important to ensure | :17:32. | :17:37. | |
police are trained specifically on the issues of violence, because | :17:37. | :17:42. | |
often police themselves reflect attitudes in society at large, and | :17:42. | :17:51. | |
regard violence against women as a private issue. I think it is very | :17:51. | :17:54. | |
important to ensure that police are properly trained, so that when | :17:54. | :18:01. | |
women plumper than, they are dealt with appropriately. How far can UN | :18:01. | :18:07. | |
women get a universal approach to this? Violence happens in affluent | :18:07. | :18:16. | |
societies, and more traditional societies. One of the things we are | :18:16. | :18:22. | |
calling for is a universal set of standard women can expect. That | :18:22. | :18:32. | |
:18:32. | :18:33. | ||
includes things like sharpers, emergency hotlines, -- shelters. | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
There is caused further optimism, because countries are taking very | :18:37. | :18:42. | |
important steps in providing these services, and countries can learn | :18:42. | :18:50. | |
from one another. They can take the necessary steps to end this scourge. | :18:50. | :18:56. | |
We had a report from Pakistan, and staying in Pakistan, the death toll | :18:56. | :19:00. | |
of those killed by contaminated heart medicine has increased to | :19:00. | :19:07. | |
more than 100 people. Doctors say another 250 are being treated. The | :19:07. | :19:13. | |
drugs were given for free. Arrests have been made, and at least one | :19:13. | :19:20. | |
pharmaceutical firm has been closed. The authorities are trying to | :19:20. | :19:25. | |
contain this health crisis, as the death toll grows. Patients | :19:25. | :19:32. | |
suffering heart problems, made sicker by a drugs they took. | :19:32. | :19:38. | |
TRANSLATION: My mouth is saw. I cannot urinate. There is leading | :19:38. | :19:43. | |
from my mouth and nose. Officials have warned that the drugs may have | :19:43. | :19:49. | |
been given to newly 40,000 people. They say samples are being tested | :19:49. | :19:54. | |
in the UK and France. Relatives of the dead and are angry at what they | :19:54. | :20:02. | |
see as the authorities's slow response. TRANSLATION: My father | :20:02. | :20:08. | |
died on December 23rd. There was bleeding from his mouth and urinary | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
tract. 600,000 people receive free medication every year, and it is | :20:12. | :20:19. | |
taking time to establish how many people have been affected. | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
TRANSLATION: After looking at their lab tests, we will formalise how | :20:23. | :20:29. | |
many people come under that bracket. It is a worrying time a heart | :20:29. | :20:34. | |
patients. Three local drugs companies have been arrested for | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
supplying contaminated medication. The authorities are being | :20:38. | :20:44. | |
criticised for having chosen to buy from cheap, rather than reputable, | :20:44. | :20:54. | |
:20:54. | :20:57. | ||
Rarery do you see images of an international figure looking so | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
shaken. The Australian Prime Minister had to be dragged to | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
safety by her bodyguards after being surrounded by an angry group | :21:04. | :21:13. | |
of indigenous rights protesters. The Prime Minister was giving out | :21:13. | :21:17. | |
medals at an Australia day ceremony when the protesters started | :21:17. | :21:22. | |
shouting through the window. Miss Gillard looks around to see where | :21:22. | :21:28. | |
the noise is coming from. The chants grew louder, the protesters | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
metres from the Prime Minister and the leader of the opposition. By | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
now around 200 Aboriginal people had gathered and started banging on | :21:36. | :21:41. | |
the windows. Apparently angered by comments from Mr Abbot calling for | :21:41. | :21:48. | |
the end to a long standing tented camp set up outside Parliament. | :21:48. | :21:50. | |
Bodyguards fearing the demonstration could get out of hand, | :21:50. | :21:55. | |
decided to make a run for it. It was then these chaotic scenes | :21:55. | :22:00. | |
involving the Prime Minister unfolded. One bodyguard grabbed | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
Miss Gillard around the shoulder and rushed her towards the car. | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
There's a look of alarm on the Prime Minister's face as she's | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
scrambled away. At one point, she appears to trip, almost ending up | :22:11. | :22:18. | |
on the ground. But the bodyguard still held on. The scram tobl get | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
the two most important political figures to safety may have cost the | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
Prime Minister some of her dignity. For the people involved they say | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
the lack of dignity shown to the indigenous people bylet state is | :22:29. | :22:35. | |
the reason they were angry in the first place. The police say the | :22:35. | :22:40. | |
Prime Minister was never in danger, but it's an ugly incident to remind | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
all Australians that the country's indigenous people continue to claim | :22:43. | :22:51. | |
rights and respect, they believe, are denied them. | :22:52. | :22:56. | |
Very dramatic pictures. One story in brief, a commissioner for a body, | :22:56. | :23:01. | |
monitoring the London 2012 Olympics has resigned over lynchs -- links | :23:01. | :23:10. | |
with Dow Chemical. The 1984Bopal disaster saw a leak of poisonous | :23:10. | :23:15. | |
gas which killed 8,000 people in three days and tens of thousands | :23:15. | :23:20. | |
more in the years that followed. She had resigned because she felt | :23:20. | :23:26. | |
she had legitimised the claims that Dow had no responsibility for Bopal. | :23:26. | :23:31. | |
It's the first exhibition in the world dedicated to the personal | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
journey to Muslim pilgrims to mecca. The British Museum's Hajj opens | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
today and includes prices, manuscripts, textiles and the rail | :23:39. | :23:49. | |
:23:49. | :23:51. | ||
tickets for the trip. It's history of a personal journey, | :23:51. | :23:55. | |
a pilgrimage which could be once in a life time and this exhibition | :23:55. | :23:59. | |
offers an understanding of an important part of Islamic | :23:59. | :24:05. | |
consciousness. Part of it like going on a journey. It meean derz | :24:05. | :24:11. | |
through, until we get to the centre of the exhibition where we have | :24:11. | :24:18. | |
textiles. This journey is also across time and the exhibition | :24:18. | :24:25. | |
draws on priceless objects from 40 lenders from 14 countries. The Hajj | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
attracts three million pilgrims each year. This exhibition is aimed | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
not only at giving and understanding the religious | :24:31. | :24:37. | |
significance of the Hajj but also the beauty and cultural | :24:37. | :24:39. | |
sophistication of the artefacts associated with it. | :24:39. | :24:43. | |
The organisers hope the exhibition will give a different view of Islam | :24:43. | :24:47. | |
for non-Muslims and for Muslims a deeper experience. To understand | :24:47. | :24:54. | |
the beauty of the old and the culture and for the first time be | :24:54. | :24:59. | |
close to the objects that they can, they do not have an opportunity to | :24:59. | :25:04. | |
see when they go for their Hajj. The items are not only historic, | :25:04. | :25:10. | |
but also reflect a contemporary view of the Hajj. This is one of | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
several artists whose work is on show. The design is made up of | :25:14. | :25:20. | |
words spoken by the pilgrims. wanted it to be like the mosque in | :25:20. | :25:26. | |
mecca, so each word represents a foot step coming towards the centre | :25:26. | :25:31. | |
of this incredible energy. I'm trying to capture that in a drawing. | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
Now we're coming, we're in the entrance... This is the latest in a | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
number of recent exhibitions on Islamic culture in London. The | :25:39. | :25:44. | |
British Museum says that the West has had an interest in Islamic art | :25:44. | :25:47. | |
for centuries. In the British Museum we have had objects which | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
relate to the Islamic world right from when the British Museum was | :25:51. | :25:57. | |
founded, actually in 1753, some of the earliest objects are amulets | :25:57. | :26:04. | |
which were collected. For visitors, in particular Muslims, they may | :26:05. | :26:10. | |
have an understanding of the spear chuelt of their belief, but here is | :26:10. | :26:19. | |
a visual display of it. Let's remind you of the main news - | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
the Arab League is to ask the United Nationss Security Council to | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
back the plan to end the violence in Syria. On Sunday the Arab League | :26:27. | :26:30. | |
called for the President Bashar al- Assad to step down and hand power | :26:30. | :26:32. | |
to his deputy. And the former head of the French | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
company PIP, which is at the centre of an international scare over | :26:36. | :26:40. | |
faulty breast implants, has been arrested in his home in the south | :26:40. | :26:43. | |
of France. 72-year-old Jean-Claude Mas faces charges of manslaughter | :26:43. | :26:48. | |
and fraud. Wrong camera, that's all from the | :26:48. | :26:58. | |
:26:58. | :27:02. | ||
programme. Now it's the weather. Hello. We have a cold night ahead. | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
More of the wintry showers with snow on the hills across northern | :27:05. | :27:09. | |
areas. A similar day tomorrow with sunshine and wintry showers. Low | :27:09. | :27:13. | |
pressure is driving our warge at the moment, sitting to the north of | :27:13. | :27:17. | |
us. Bands of showers around that. Brisk winds. High pressure coming | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
in for Friday night and the weekend. For Friday then, tomorrow we start | :27:21. | :27:24. | |
with these showers, Northern Ireland, south-west Scotland, North | :27:24. | :27:28. | |
West England, snow on hills. Then they drift south-east wards. Away | :27:28. | :27:32. | |
from the North West of England, in England and Wales, most start dry | :27:32. | :27:36. | |
and bright. We will see some of these showers filtering south-east. | :27:36. | :27:39. | |
So a bit of cloud building in south-east England for example. By | :27:39. | :27:43. | |
mid-afternoon, you could catch a shower, may come with hail possibly | :27:43. | :27:46. | |
a rumble of thunder. South-west England and Wales, still some of | :27:46. | :27:49. | |
the showers around. Out of these you could see sleet and snow to | :27:50. | :27:53. | |
higher ground. Some snow on the hills from the showers in North | :27:53. | :27:56. | |
West England. For Northern Ireland and Scotland, after early showers, | :27:56. | :28:00. | |
they'll die away through the afternoon and it turns drier and | :28:00. | :28:04. | |
brighter. The wind eases as well. The killing off of those showers, | :28:04. | :28:08. | |
that process continues into Friday evening. Then for most on Friday | :28:08. | :28:11. | |
night, it will be dry and there will be a widespread frost. We get | :28:12. | :28:16. |
