:06:34. > :06:39.of explosions at an arms capital -- arms depot in the capital. As many
:06:39. > :06:43.as 1,500 were injured and 150 killed. They are trying to find
:06:43. > :06:47.survivors in collapsed buildings. The trial of the former Prime
:06:47. > :06:53.Minister of Iceland has begun. He is accused of negligence in his
:06:53. > :06:57.handling of the 2008 crisis which severely undermined the Icelandic
:06:57. > :07:01.economy. He is the first leader to face criminal charges arising from
:07:01. > :07:05.the financial turmoil. There was never any doubt that
:07:05. > :07:10.Vladimir Putin would win Roger's presidential election. He told his
:07:10. > :07:15.supporters he had won an open and on his battle. International
:07:15. > :07:19.monitors said that while he was a clear winner, however, there were
:07:19. > :07:24.irregularities. Official figures show him gaining 64% of the vote
:07:24. > :07:29.bhangra, but one Russian monitoring organisation believe he won just
:07:29. > :07:33.over 50%. This evening in Moscow, supporters and opposes held rallies.
:07:33. > :07:38.Opposition groups asked -- are staging what they say will be the
:07:38. > :07:44.first of many protests against his victory. In Moscow, police have
:07:44. > :07:47.arrested a number of protesters. In an interesting move, the part --
:07:47. > :07:55.the current President Dmitry Medvedev has ordered a review of
:07:55. > :08:01.the case involving be oil tycoon. He was convicted in trials that he
:08:01. > :08:06.says what punishment for political ambition. He was Russia's riches

:08:16. > :08:22.Boris the odds in an Vladimir Putin. And also a member of the endowment
:08:22. > :08:27.think-tank. Alexander, Vladimir Putin may have won but surely at a
:08:27. > :08:32.cost to his legitimacy? I don't think it was at a cost because, to
:08:33. > :08:38.be quite honest with you, I was expecting more problems. I was
:08:38. > :08:44.expecting their position to come up with some specific facts about vote
:08:44. > :08:52.rigging. At the moment, we don't really see any specifics of the
:08:52. > :08:59.facts and 63% is 63%. You cannot read that. So it was by Russian
:08:59. > :09:03.standards a small -- a smooth election. Good evening. Many say
:09:03. > :09:07.that to focus on that count and the result is maybe not the right thing
:09:08. > :09:11.to do. You should look at the race in the first place, and anybody who
:09:11. > :09:20.was a truly credible opposition figure could not stand. You
:09:20. > :09:25.basically have to get presidential approval? I think the result of the
:09:25. > :09:31.elections is and was very expected. As we know, the provenance was that
:09:31. > :09:39.Vladimir Putin would get something around 60% and he did it. Finally.
:09:40. > :09:44.So we don't believe there is real opposition. The real opposition can
:09:44. > :09:49.continue its struggle. And even more, sometimes it seems to me that
:09:50. > :09:54.next week, next month, maybe we will observe a certain revenge of
:09:55. > :10:03.Vladimir Putin because he was so disappointed with the mass protests
:10:03. > :10:07.and manifestations, the mass media. So I think in large, in April, in
:10:07. > :10:10.May, we will see very interesting situations and maybe a
:10:10. > :10:17.confrontation between Vladimir Putin and his team and those who
:10:17. > :10:21.are against him and it will be deeper than now. Breathing that is
:10:21. > :10:28.right or will Vladimir Putin have to come to terms with the fact that
:10:28. > :10:32.Russian society is changing? -- do you think that is right? I think
:10:33. > :10:37.this election was the last Soviet- style election in the history of
:10:37. > :10:41.Russia because we have come to a point when the new generation is
:10:41. > :10:51.coming on, and I think we will see the disappearance of some of those
:10:51. > :10:57.so-called candidates. And I think it is time for the opposition to
:10:57. > :11:02.find a United figure. Somebody who could unite everybody. Somebody
:11:02. > :11:06.like the Liberal candidate, but he could not stand? Well, he probably
:11:06. > :11:11.would have received quite substantial votes, but I think he
:11:11. > :11:18.is also part of the old system. Part of the old government...
:11:18. > :11:25.might arise? A will not give names now but... For the former Prime
:11:25. > :11:29.Minister? Christie and of his part of the old system. He is not
:11:29. > :11:33.somebody new or somebody people would like to be associated with. I
:11:33. > :11:39.think in the next few years, we are bound to see the emergence of new,
:11:39. > :11:45.dynamic politicians. Let's see what our man in Washington has to say
:11:45. > :11:50.about that. I rather agree. The problem is that Vladimir Putin and
:11:50. > :11:54.his team, we have to understand that finally society in Russia has
:11:54. > :12:01.drastically changed. If they don't understand that and if they will
:12:01. > :12:06.not understand it, I am afraid that they will continue to carry out
:12:06. > :12:11.their politics by the same methods. And it's very dangerous because it
:12:11. > :12:16.could lead to some, I would say, not revolution but some deep
:12:16. > :12:21.misunderstanding between the ruling elite and the rest of society. And
:12:21. > :12:31.as far as a new government, I don't know, because in that election, we
:12:31. > :12:32.
:12:32. > :12:36.observe the activity of many. But I don't know if they will be
:12:36. > :12:40.successful. A very briefly, Alexander, do you think Vladimir
:12:40. > :12:46.Putin realises things have changed? We have seen the review of this
:12:46. > :12:49.case. What do you make of that? think he is gradually and slowly
:12:49. > :12:54.realising things are changing. He is feeling uncomfortable about it
:12:54. > :12:59.and is not really sure how he should handle the situation. And I
:12:59. > :13:06.think he needs to change, otherwise he will not be able to continue.
:13:06. > :13:11.Thank you to you both. It is a balancing act that is
:13:11. > :13:16.likely to tax even President above's was careful speech writers.
:13:16. > :13:21.How to respond Israel's concerns posed by Iran's nuclear weapons
:13:21. > :13:27.without ratcheting up the pressure for military action. -- Barack
:13:27. > :13:31.Obama. Both Israel and the US have accused Iran of trying to develop
:13:32. > :13:36.nuclear weapons, something Tehran denies. However, the two differ
:13:36. > :13:42.over how to respond. Binyamin Netanyahu says time is running out
:13:42. > :13:48.a military action should be considered against nuclear sites.
:13:48. > :13:53.Obama says that while all options remain on that have -- on the table,
:13:53. > :13:56.a new type of diplomacy should be given a chance to work first.
:13:56. > :14:02.regime has to make a decision to move in that direction, a decision
:14:02. > :14:07.they have not made so far. And as I emphasised, even as we will
:14:07. > :14:14.continue on the diplomatic front, we will continue to tighten
:14:14. > :14:20.pressure when it comes to sanctions. I reserve mm-hm options. And my
:14:21. > :14:25.policy here is not going to be one of containment. It is prevention of
:14:25. > :14:31.a rank obtaining nuclear weapons, and as I indicated yesterday in my
:14:31. > :14:36.speech, when I say all options are at the table, I mean it. For his
:14:36. > :14:40.part, Binyamin Netanyahu reiterated his appreciation for US support but
:14:40. > :14:44.stressed that his country's security comes first. Israel has
:14:45. > :14:50.the sovereign right to make its own decisions. I believe that is why
:14:50. > :14:54.you appreciate, Mr President, that Israel must reserve the right to
:14:54. > :14:59.defend itself. And that is the very purpose of the Jewish state - to
:14:59. > :15:04.restore to the Jewish people control over our destiny. And that
:15:04. > :15:12.is why my supreme responsibility as Prime Minister of Israel is to
:15:12. > :15:16.ensure that Israel remains the master of its fate. Joining us now
:15:16. > :15:22.from Tel Aviv is the former Israeli ambassador to the United Nations,
:15:22. > :15:31.who is a member of Binyamin Netanyahu's Pardew. When you hear
:15:31. > :15:37.Binyamin Netanyahu speak like that,... I and sorry. Former
:15:37. > :15:42.ambassador to the United States. Did I say United Nations?! Sorry!
:15:42. > :15:46.It is OK! When you hear Binyamin Netanyahu speak like that, do you
:15:46. > :15:50.get the impression he genuinely believes that Israel could take
:15:50. > :15:59.some sort of action against Iran on its own even if America didn't back
:15:59. > :16:04.it? And that is not the case, is Israel is not against sanctions.
:16:04. > :16:09.The sanctions have worked up to a certain point. But sanctions cannot
:16:09. > :16:13.really be effective unless there is the threat or risk of military
:16:13. > :16:19.strike involved in that. Otherwise the Iranians will misread that
:16:19. > :16:23.message. Listening to President Obama's forceful speech yesterday,
:16:23. > :16:27.the Iranians, everything is in the eye or the year of the beholder,
:16:27. > :16:33.they may have misunderstood the message and might have thought to
:16:33. > :16:37.themselves, well, we can continue creating our nuclear option while
:16:38. > :16:43.we are talking to the big powers, the members of the Security Council
:16:43. > :16:48.and Germany and so on. I think President Obama tonight, before the
:16:48. > :16:53.meeting, made an important addition when he said not just not
:16:53. > :16:56.containment, but he said preventing. That means the United States is
:16:56. > :17:01.determined to prevent the Iranians having a nuclear weapon. Some you
:17:01. > :17:09.believe that Barack Obama is really singing to the same tune as
:17:09. > :17:16.Binyamin Netanyahu when it comes to Iran? Both have the same interest.
:17:16. > :17:20.Both have interests to prevent an Iranian nuclear weapon. But for the
:17:20. > :17:24.United States cities are very important strategic interest and
:17:24. > :17:31.political interest. For Israel and some of our Arab neighbours, it is
:17:31. > :17:35.an existential issues. Therefore, I think President Obama said in his
:17:35. > :17:40.speech and Netanyahu reiterated that today, that Israel has the
:17:41. > :17:44.right to defend itself by itself, should determine it is necessary.
:17:44. > :17:49.Obviously we want to work in co- operation that the US and the rest
:17:49. > :17:55.of the democratic society, but if this should not be given, and there
:17:55. > :18:01.is a certain difference of opinion about the time element. How far are
:18:01. > :18:04.the Iranians with creating a bomb? That is the problem. On that time
:18:04. > :18:10.element, sanctions are getting tougher all the time against Iran,
:18:10. > :18:15.give sanctions the time to work. Look at North Korea. Everybody
:18:15. > :18:19.mentions that. North Korea was able to produce a bomb, they have a bomb
:18:19. > :18:24.despite of sanctions. The Iranians are much stronger than the North
:18:24. > :18:31.Koreans. The Iranian people are not at the point of stopping. They may
:18:31. > :18:37.go about having a democratic, diplomatic talks and continue to do
:18:37. > :18:42.what they wanted to in building the bomb. In recent months the Somali
:18:42. > :18:46.militant group Al-Shabab has been severely weakened. As a sign of its
:18:46. > :18:51.declining military strength, the Al-Shabab stronghold of Baidoa was
:18:51. > :19:01.recently captured by Ethiopian troops fighting alongside the
:19:01. > :19:02.
:19:02. > :19:08.Malian soldiers. A rare chance to go deep inside Somalia. A flight to
:19:08. > :19:12.a town which until just a few days ago was a key Al-Shabab stronghold.
:19:12. > :19:19.Landing at the airstrip it is immediately clear who controls
:19:19. > :19:24.Baidoa now. Ethiopian soldiers with plenty of firepower. The visit was
:19:24. > :19:31.organised by the Ethiopian army, keen to show that it is winning the
:19:31. > :19:37.war against Al-Shabab. A look inside what was the Islamist
:19:37. > :19:41.militant's based. On the walls are jihadist graffiti. The images of a
:19:41. > :19:46.war that has drawn in foreign fighters from across the world. The
:19:46. > :19:50.weaponry of the Al-Qaeda linked militants. Some of these were
:19:50. > :20:00.captured, others were abandoned as the Ethiopian and Somali troops
:20:00. > :20:07.
:20:07. > :20:14.advanced across the country. There was a very small and re ambush but
:20:14. > :20:17.there was no such problem. A key ally of the West, this is
:20:17. > :20:22.Ethiopia's second major military offensive in recent years to stop
:20:22. > :20:25.the Islamists from controlling Somalia. About three years ago,
:20:25. > :20:30.Somalis were celebrating on the streets of the Ethiopian army
:20:30. > :20:34.pulled out. Those soldiers are now back. The challenge for Ethiopia is
:20:34. > :20:41.to ensure this incursion is not as unpopular as the last one. It's not
:20:41. > :20:46.seen as a foreign military invasion. On the streets many businesses have
:20:46. > :20:50.stayed shut. Partly because the battle for Baidoa may not be over.
:20:50. > :20:56.No one knows how long the Ethiopian civil state, so there's a fear that
:20:56. > :20:59.Al-Shabab could return. In the presence of Ethiopian officials,
:20:59. > :21:09.Somali elders said they were grateful for their help in tackling
:21:09. > :21:09.
:21:09. > :21:15.the militants. Sheikh Amin chav do -- Sheikh Amin Abdou said the
:21:15. > :21:22.fighters would be welcomed back home if they were to come in peace.
:21:22. > :21:25.The ingredients of terror preferred these days by Al-Shabab. It has
:21:25. > :21:32.promised blood shed in Baidoa. The militants are weakened but not
:21:32. > :21:36.finished. Tomorrow in the United States it is the Super Tuesday
:21:36. > :21:39.contest for the Republicans, when 10 states choose whom they want to
:21:39. > :21:43.challenge Barack Obama for the presidency. We are looking at the
:21:43. > :21:47.chances of the final candidates. Adam Brooks profiles Rick Santorum
:21:47. > :21:52.in a moment. First, Steve Kingston reports on the front runner, Mitt
:21:52. > :21:59.Romney. If you want to place a bet on who will challenge Barack Obama,
:21:59. > :22:02.this is your man. Mitt Romney remains the likely nominee. But
:22:02. > :22:07.he's a fraud front runner whose failed to inspire the Republican
:22:07. > :22:12.base. In 1985, I helped found a company. At first we had 10
:22:12. > :22:17.employees, today there are hundreds. His pitch is simple. That troubled
:22:17. > :22:21.times call for a leader with a proven business record. ACPO for
:22:21. > :22:26.America. His mission, to reap massive rewards... But his rivals
:22:26. > :22:30.have sought to turn that record against him. Portraying him as a
:22:30. > :22:38.heartless venture capitalist, more concerned about profits than people.
:22:38. > :22:42.For tens of thousands of Americans... Today, Mitt Romney is
:22:42. > :22:50.worth an estimated quarter of a billion dollars. Well that at times
:22:50. > :22:55.has made him seem out of touch. 10,000 box. He drives a couple of
:22:55. > :22:59.Cadillac, actually. On policy, health care is an achilles heel.
:22:59. > :23:04.Because Mitt Romney's Massachusetts was the model for the Obama reforms
:23:04. > :23:08.so detested by republicans. Others have made an issue of the
:23:08. > :23:11.candidate's Mormon faith, which is viewed with suspicion by some
:23:11. > :23:15.evangelical Christians. A strong Super Tuesday would make Mitt
:23:15. > :23:21.Romney the nominee in all but name. But the internal fight has left him
:23:21. > :23:25.bloodied. Restore America's greatness. Rick Santorum was a
:23:25. > :23:30.senator from Pennsylvania. He lost back seat in a crushing defeat six
:23:30. > :23:35.years ago. But now he is back and once the Republican nomination.
:23:35. > :23:39.Wow! Ladies and gentlemen, I don't stand you to claim to be the
:23:39. > :23:44.Conservative alternative to Mitt Romney. I stand here to be the

:23:48. > :23:53.Party by winning races in two key states. That has made him a real

:24:01. > :24:05.religious Conservatives. He believes that Christianity should
:24:05. > :24:09.have much more prominence in public life. I don't believe in an America
:24:09. > :24:12.with a separation of church and state absolute. He is critical of

:24:46. > :24:50.convincing victories in Ohio and Tennessee to stay credible. The
:24:50. > :24:53.Queen's grandson, Prince Harry, has been in the Bahamas as part of
:24:53. > :24:57.eight official visit to the Caribbean. He spent much of his day
:24:57. > :25:01.in the capital, Nassau, meeting school children. He went on to what
:25:01. > :25:06.a celebration parade for young people. After the Bahamas, Prince
:25:06. > :25:10.Harry will be heading for Jamaica. It's part of the celebration to
:25:10. > :25:13.mark 60 years of the Queen's reign. But the Principles visit to Jamaica
:25:13. > :25:20.comes at a time when Jamaicans are debated whether to declare a
:25:20. > :25:25.republic. The gardens are getting a final manicure and the building a

:25:39. > :25:45.But he now finds himself in the middle of a debate about the future

:26:14. > :26:19.Elizabeth II is also the Queen of Jamaica, and has often visited. But
:26:19. > :26:22.ministers now want a change. It's only the full support of the
:26:22. > :26:26.government and the opposition, the conversations have already begun
:26:26. > :26:31.with both sides in favour. We have strong historical links, cultural
:26:31. > :26:34.links, trade ties. British people must and take this as a slight.
:26:35. > :26:39.It's not about that, it's just about a country coming of age and
:26:39. > :26:42.wanting to have an indigenous head of state. The country will then
:26:42. > :26:47.need to hold a referendum on replacing the Queen that could go

:26:52. > :26:57.a part of the United Kingdom as well, would be a very great thing
:26:57. > :27:01.for Jamaica as well. We are never going to know how to actually do it
:27:01. > :27:04.ourselves if we don't take that first step. With Jamaica battling
:27:04. > :27:08.high unemployment and debt, some people here wonder whether it is a

:27:19. > :27:24.to be compared with what could be done with that same sort of amount
:27:24. > :27:29.of money if it were put into crime- fighting or health care.
:27:29. > :27:32.process for Jamaica to become a republic could take less than Agger.
