This is BBC World News Today with me, Tim Wilcox. | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
Rising tensions between Afghanistan and the coalition as the 16 Afghan | :00:11. | :00:16. | |
victims of a US soldier are buried. The Afghan parliament calls for the | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
attacker to be put on public trial, in Afghanistan - US officials | :00:19. | :00:25. | |
promise a full and thorough investigation. | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
This is not who we are and the United States is committed to | :00:29. | :00:34. | |
seeing that those responsible are held accountable. | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
Allegations of a massacre in the city of Homs in Syria as the UN | :00:38. | :00:47. | |
calls on the international More civilian casualties on a | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
fourth day of violence between Israeli forces and Palestinian | :00:49. | :00:56. | |
militants in Gaza. Also coming up in the programme: As | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
the South African government admits that 80 per cent of state schools | :00:59. | :01:06. | |
are failing. 20 years on from the end of apartheid, why is education | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
for black children still so poor? And he danced, he ran and he messed | :01:11. | :01:14. | |

:01:24. | :01:32. | ||
Hello and welcome. In the villages of Kandahar in Afghanistan, they've | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
been burying their dead today. 16 victims, nine of them children, of | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
an American soldier, all shot in their homes in the early hours of | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
Sunday. Hillary Clinton called the attack 'inexplicable', adding 'this | :01:43. | :01:49. | |
is not who we are.' Local elders though told the BBC that there | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
would be no further protests, as long as the man responsible for the | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
killings was brought to justice. From Kabul, the BBC's Quentin | :01:55. | :02:05. | |
:02:05. | :02:20. | ||
Nine children have now been buried. Translation macro if he did this | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
deliberately, he should be punished, otherwise it would raise many | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
questions. The Taleban would benefit and become stronger. | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
come and Inverdale went to the House of Muslims and massacred | :02:33. | :02:40. | |
children and women? I feel very sad. Even I am ready to go to the side | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
of the Taleban to fight against these foreigners. | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
We know that the killer was a regular soldier who was working for | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
Special forces. 11 years in the army, he was fully armed and | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
wearing night-vision goggles when he carried out the attack. He was a | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
guard at the base, making it easier for him to come and go from the out | :02:59. | :03:05. | |
past -- the outpost in Kandahar. He left the place at 3am local time. | :03:06. | :03:12. | |
He walked to these nearby villages and there he travelled from door to | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
door, some were locked. But he made his way inside one home. There, he | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
gathered together the family and killed all 11 with a single bullet | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
each. Then five more in another two houses, the children were mostly | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
toddlers. President Obama was shocked and saddened by the | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
killings which he said were not representative of US military | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
forces. In a call to President Karzai, he promised a full | :03:39. | :03:45. | |
investigation. This will not affect the mission in Afghanistan for the | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
United States. The mission is going to suffer and it is very tragic, | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
but it would be far greater a tragedy to let this affect what we | :03:54. | :04:00. | |
are doing for the country. In Kabul, others are more sceptical. | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
President Karzai called the the gimmick -- killings unforgivable. | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
Many are talking about the damage to relations with America. | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
Senior officers are questioning whether this attack was pre-planned | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
and did others know what the soldier's intentions? The Afghan | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
people are asking an even simpler question? Why did a long serving | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
American soldier, and I of Afghanistan, commit such a bloody | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
act? Let's speak to Michael Semple, | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
until last year a fellow in the State Building and human rights, | :04:29. | :04:38. | |
Afghanistan Pakistan programme. He joins us from the States. After | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
such carnage, is the one positive that there hasn't been mass | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
demonstrations that we saw perhaps after the burning of the holy books | :04:48. | :04:55. | |
yet? In Kandahar, people already have suffered so much that they do | :04:55. | :05:03. | |
not have the confidence and the guts to go out and protest. The | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
public order problem is not quite as grave as it was during the | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
previous crisis, but there is a lot of damage to be dealt with. What do | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
you think the long-term impact of this is after the book-burning? | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
Will it have a very deleterious effect on the relationship between | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
the Coalition and the Afghan authorities which will not be | :05:21. | :05:28. | |
resolved? The first people that were going to exploit this are | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
those Caliban who are involved in preparing the spring offensive. | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
They know that everyone in Afghanistan today has seen TV | :05:36. | :05:42. | |
images of young bodies being taken for burial. They will now be using | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
it those in their propaganda videos to persuade the fighters to go out | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
and create further mayhem later. Those are the people who were | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
exploited. In terms of the relationship with the Afghan | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
authorities, they have little option but to co-operate with the | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
United States because they are struggling to have some kind of | :06:02. | :06:09. | |
Garrity and stability of the on the US drawback. What else can they do? | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
We saw the demand for justice for the perpetrators of the book | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
burnings. We have heard calls for the soldiers to be tried in | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
Afghanistan in public, but that will not happen, will it? | :06:21. | :06:27. | |
Absolutely, if I had had an opportunity to give some advice in | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
the years of people sitting in Parliament, I would say call for | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
something that is likely to happen. Calling for something which is not | :06:33. | :06:39. | |
going to happen will create further frustration. This will not happen. | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
He went completely bonkers according to an eyewitness, this | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
man had a nervous breakdown. Is there any sense that President | :06:47. | :06:53. | |
Karzai will be able to sell that to people in Afghanistan, that this is | :06:53. | :07:00. | |
just one at lone rogue individual who just went berserk? There is a | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
real question as to whether it you will be able to sell that to | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
President Karzai himself. Afghanistan is the land of | :07:07. | :07:13. | |
conspiracy theories. When they rock night raids conducted by the US, | :07:13. | :07:20. | |
multiple versions of them circulate. In a strange way, that also | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
explains why the reaction has been somewhat muted, because even if | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
this is the first time that we have seen someone go berserk like this, | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
stories like this have frequently circulated. The difference was the | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
previous ones were invented whereas this one was real. NATO advisers | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
have not gone back into the ministry's following the book- | :07:43. | :07:49. | |
burning. Does this delayed that return yet further? Again there is | :07:49. | :07:55. | |
an issue of what can people do? Some of the mentors who were | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
working inside the ministry's were not necessarily doing important | :08:00. | :08:06. | |
jobs, but an awful lot of them were doing vital jobs. As the US moves | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
towards a draw down, it involves more co-operation with Afghan | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
counterparts rather than less. There is no way the US can do what | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
it must over the next two years by hanging out in their own bases and | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
going out on patrol by themselves. They will have to work closely with | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
the Afghans, trying to piece together the trust which has been | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
badly hurt by the incident of the book-burning and now this massacre. | :08:30. | :08:39. | |
Thank you very much for joining us. The UN Secretary General Ban Ki | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
Moon has described attacks by the Syrian Government on its civilian | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
opponents as "shameful" and accused it of failing in its duty of | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
protecting its own people. Speaking during a meeting of the UN General | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
Assembly, Mr Ban called for unity from the international community to | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
persuade President Assad and the opposition to end the violence and | :08:53. | :08:59. | |
start negotiations. Deeply disturbing images said to be | :08:59. | :09:05. | |
from the Syrian town of Homs. Evidence of a massacre by pro- | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
government gunmen, including children. Damascus blamed on the | :09:10. | :09:16. | |
terrace. There is no disputing there is a -- this month-long siege | :09:16. | :09:23. | |
has left neighbourhoods bombed-out. Such scenes have spurred calls for | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
the world to act yet piloted the impotence of the deeply divided | :09:27. | :09:33. | |
Security Council. This council has so far failed. At this special | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
session called by Britain, Western states denounce the brutality of | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
the regime, but they were countered by Russian warnings about the armed | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
resistance. TRANSLATION: There is no doubt that the Syrian | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
authorities bear a huge responsibility for the situation, | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
but one should not ignore the fact that for a long time they have been | :09:53. | :09:59. | |
fighting combat units such as the so-called free Syrian army and | :09:59. | :10:04. | |
extremist groups including Al-Qaeda which have lately committed a | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
series of murderous to act -- murderous acts. Russia also spoke | :10:09. | :10:17. | |
about an agreement. The Americans are also watching these | :10:17. | :10:24. | |
developments closely. We took no to the fact that this past weekend in | :10:24. | :10:30. | |
Cairo, the Arab League and Russian minister agreed on the necessity of | :10:30. | :10:40. | |
:10:40. | :10:47. | ||
We believe that now is the time for all nations, even those who have | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
previously blocked our efforts, to stand behind the humanitarian and | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
political approached start out by the Arab League. Even if the | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
Security Council could finally agree to something on paper, | :10:59. | :11:09. | |
:11:09. | :11:12. | ||
getting changed on the ground would still be a daunting task. Now a | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
look at some of the day's other news. | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
At least 100 people have been killed and hundreds more are | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
missing in South Sudan after renewed ethnic violence. Armed | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
attackers from the Murle ethnic group stole thousands of cattle | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
during raids in Upper Nile state. Violence between the Murle and Lou | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
Nuer peoples have left thousands dead since South Sudan became | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
independent last July. There's been a deadly raid in the | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
Iraqi capital Baghdad. Gunmen killed at least nine people when | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
they stormed a row of goldsmiths at a market. Police said some of the | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
attackers shot at passers by while others stole jewellery from the | :11:39. | :11:48. | |
shops. The head of Brazil's Football | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
Association has stepped down from his post. The man who led the | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
Brazilian Football Confederation for 23 years had been under | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
pressure to resign under corruption allegations which he has denied. | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
Here in Britain a High Court judge has decided that a man with what's | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
known as "Locked-In Syndrome" should have his case decided by the | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
court. Tony Nicklinson wants doctors to be able to end his life. | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
He is physically paralysed from the neck down although his mind remains | :12:11. | :12:17. | |
Israeli forces and Palestinian militants in Gaza have clashed for | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
a fourth day in a row, in the worst cross-border violence in over a | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
year. At least 23 people have been killed and dozens wounded by | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
Israeli air strikes since Friday, while two Israelis have been | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
injured by rockets fired from Gaza. The violence was sparked by | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
Israel's killing of a top Palestinian militant leader on | :12:34. | :12:44. | |
Friday. From Jerusalem, Rupert Another day and another funeral in | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
Gaza City. This time it is for a 65-year-old man and his 35-year-old | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
daughter. More than 20 people have been killed here since Friday. It | :12:53. | :12:58. | |
is now the worst violence between Israel and Gaza in three years. | :12:58. | :13:04. | |
Like these two, more casualties are civilians. A ragged cheer and a | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
pool of blood marked the spot where they were killed this morning, | :13:07. | :13:12. | |
caught in an Israeli counter-strike. A few minutes' drive away, the | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
debris of another fresh bomb site. The smell of burning is still | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
pungent in the air. Israel says it's only striking back | :13:21. | :13:27. | |
at militants who are firing rockets out of Gaza, but that is not the | :13:27. | :13:29. | |
weight things work and last night, one of their missiles hit this | :13:29. | :13:34. | |
house in the North of Gaza where 30 members of the same family were | :13:34. | :13:39. | |
sleeping. Amazingly, no one was killed in this destruction. 25 | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
members of that family are in hospital, including nine children. | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
The man who owns the house does not deny he supports the militants. One | :13:47. | :13:54. | |
of his sons has been killed fighting the Israelis. TRANSLATION: | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
I have another two sons and I am ready to sacrifice them as well. | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
After what the Israelis have done, I will keep resisting more strongly | :14:02. | :14:10. | |
until the last drop of blood. above the Israeli drones circle. | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
Their powerful cameras hunt for militants, ready to call in a new | :14:13. | :14:20. | |
strike. This began on Friday when Israeli missiles Tora Park this car. | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
Inside was the leader of a Gaza militant group. Israel says an | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
attack by the group is imminent and the Killen justified. Since then, | :14:30. | :14:35. | |
militants in Gaza have hit back, sending more than 130 rockets into | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
towns and cities in southern Israel. In response is where has brought | :14:39. | :14:44. | |
out its latest high-tech answer to the Gaza rockets. It is called the | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
iron dome and its job is to shoot down the rockets before they can | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
hit Israeli towns. The iron dome missiles may make Israelis feel | :14:53. | :14:58. | |
safer, but on both sides of this conflict, a new generation is | :14:58. | :15:03. | |
growing up learning to hate an enemy that it has never seen. | :15:03. | :15:05. | |
Yossi Mekelberg is Associate Fellow of the Middle East Programme at | :15:05. | :15:15. | |
Chatham House. Hamas itself is not involved in is, is there a risk | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
that this could escalate into something more serious? 22 people | :15:19. | :15:25. | |
have already been killed. It always starts with more limited operations, | :15:26. | :15:31. | |
in this case targeting two leaders from the smaller group. The | :15:31. | :15:40. | |
response is firing into Israel of rockets, which is series, but the | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
Israelis reacted disproportionately and we have more than 20 people | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
killed. There is pressure on the government and they must protect | :15:48. | :15:58. | |
These two groups, are they being sanctioned and armed by Hamas | :15:58. | :16:04. | |
choice mack are the Independent ques mack it is Hamas pos mac | :16:04. | :16:14. | |
:16:14. | :16:20. | ||
There is a process... There is almost an opportunity to start the | :16:20. | :16:25. | |
process with Hamas and by having this kind of tit-for-tat, it is | :16:25. | :16:31. | |
almost an opportunity for the Israelis to say, you see? You are | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
seeing that even though country macro is being attacked by rockets | :16:35. | :16:44. | |
:16:45. | :16:58. | ||
from Gaza, there is an element of Be ironed and system is being able | :16:58. | :17:05. | |
to take out these rockets as they take over. Correct. A signal to | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
Hamas that we are looking at Iran. The talk is about Iran, if it is | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
going to happen, we are still looking at what happens in Gaza or | :17:14. | :17:19. | |
in Lebanon and preparing a case of all in Iran. If you think this | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
would be an opportunity the to attack, we would -- we are prepared | :17:22. | :17:28. | |
for this opportunity. Where do you think we stand in the time frame | :17:28. | :17:38. | |
:17:38. | :17:38. | ||
for attack against Iraq. --? The I have also been hearing that he has | :17:38. | :17:43. | |
been influenced by his father. Explain a bit about that and | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
whether that represents a much more hawkish prime minister now than a | :17:47. | :17:57. | |
:17:57. | :17:57. | ||
Netanyahu is more of a PR person than the Statesman. Last week it | :17:57. | :18:01. | |
was celebrating the victory of the saviour of the Jewish people from a | :18:01. | :18:07. | |
Persian ruler, to this way you are having a strong reek of the saving | :18:07. | :18:13. | |
of the Jewish people back in Persia, many many many years ago. More | :18:13. | :18:23. | |
:18:23. | :18:27. | ||
importantly is this beach in a -- is his speech. The minute that | :18:27. | :18:33. | |
Israel, a Jewish leader, talks about Iran in relation to Nazi | :18:33. | :18:38. | |
Germany and Auschwitz, he locks himself into not a very big | :18:38. | :18:45. | |
diplomatic space. If this is the same analogy it means either Iran | :18:45. | :18:50. | |
stops their nuclear programme or there will be a war. This is very | :18:50. | :18:58. | |
dangerous. Thank you. In South Africa, almost 20 years after the | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
end of apartheid, the state education system is so poor that | :19:03. | :19:09. | |
5,000 children are switching to private schools each year. | :19:09. | :19:15. | |
Ministers admit that 80% of state schools are failing, with appalling | :19:15. | :19:25. | |
:19:25. | :19:26. | ||
infrastructure, a shortage of teachers and appalling exam results. | :19:26. | :19:33. | |
Getahead High School, and low-cost private school in Eastern Cape. | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
Most of the children are black and good results and discipline are a | :19:36. | :19:41. | |
top priority, but far from been children from the elite, their | :19:41. | :19:46. | |
families are scraping together the thousands of dollars in fees, let | :19:46. | :19:51. | |
down by state schools. Need 17- year-old Panjwayi and his aunt, | :19:51. | :19:58. | |
Nokwezi. His parents are dead. She cares for him. Swapping their nice | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
flat in a house in a township in order to send him to private school. | :20:02. | :20:09. | |
She is among a growing number of adults are worried that strikes and | :20:09. | :20:14. | |
insecurity of undermining state schools. There is no security for | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
the children. We find out that others are doing drugs, carrying | :20:18. | :20:27. | |
weapons at school. Another day, another class. About half a million | :20:27. | :20:32. | |
youngsters now go into schools like these, a dramatic response in a | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
country where half of all youngsters leave without a | :20:35. | :20:38. | |
secondary school certificate. Affordable private schools are | :20:38. | :20:43. | |
being established right across South Africa. 5,000 children are | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
making the switch every year, and yet the irony is, many of their | :20:47. | :20:52. | |
parents are teachers from struggling state schools. This is | :20:52. | :20:59. | |
Khumzi Madikane, their principal in the school in the Eastern Cape, but | :20:59. | :21:04. | |
despite his best efforts, the head teacher struggles with appalling | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
conditions at his state school. This is a typical example of a | :21:07. | :21:12. | |
toilet that we have in the school. Latrine system. What impact does | :21:12. | :21:20. | |
the poor are infrastructure have? The port infrastructure on the | :21:20. | :21:26. | |
school makes the teachers not to be so interested in teaching in this | :21:26. | :21:33. | |
school. Good afternoon, class. Absenteeism and staff shortages are | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
faced by many state schools. By its own admission, the government says | :21:37. | :21:42. | |
80% of them of failing. Nearly two met for decades after the end of | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
apartheid, corruption, maladministration and neglect are | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
taking their toll on the classrooms, turning the poorest into an | :21:50. | :22:00. | |
:22:00. | :22:00. | ||
underclass, as more black families opt for private education instead. | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
His reputation was that of the party prince so some palace | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
officials might have been forgiven for feeling a little nervous about | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
how Prince Harry would shape up on his first official solo trip abroad. | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
Pretty good seems to be the general opinion. The third in line to the | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
British throne visited Belize, the Bahamas and Jamaica to mark the | :22:16. | :22:18. | |
Queen's Golden jubilee, before flying onto Brazil on behalf of the | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
British government. How carefully reined in was Harry by his PR team? | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
Or is Harry quite naturally turning into the royal family secret | :22:24. | :22:30. | |
weapon? In a moment we'll discuss the Prince's Progress with royal | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
biographer Ingrid Seward, but first those images that will be making | :22:33. | :22:41. | |
the royal household very happy. has been an emotional trip, 10, 12 | :22:41. | :22:46. | |
days, I am exhausted, but the warmth of the reception of every | :22:46. | :22:53. | |
single country we have been two has been utterly amazing. -- we have | :22:53. | :23:03. | |
been too. He cheated! Honest! need every match! Me and you! | :23:03. | :23:10. | |
have to check, I might be busy! Ingrid Seward, editor-in-chief at | :23:10. | :23:19. | |
Majesty magazine. He has not put a salt wrong? No. -- foot. I know | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
this sounds pompous but the army has made Prince Harry and that is | :23:23. | :23:28. | |
what his brother has said. It has given him the confidence. You would | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
never believe that somebody as a brilliant as Harry lacked | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
confidence but he did and having that background and then going off | :23:35. | :23:43. | |
on this trip, I think he feels that he can do anything, and he has. | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
have to be a performing monkey, and that can be quite difficult to do | :23:47. | :23:52. | |
sometimes when your energy levels are down. Not another photo | :23:52. | :23:57. | |
opportunity! But he seems to do it naturally. In the way that his | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
mother did as well. You could not be taught that rapport with | :24:01. | :24:06. | |
children. There seems to be quite a lot of his mother about him. | :24:06. | :24:12. | |
Obviously he is his mother's son, but he does seem to enjoy it. I am | :24:12. | :24:18. | |
not saying he will forever! But that is infectious. He is very | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
charming. He has always been very charming, he has just been a bit | :24:22. | :24:27. | |
naughty! Who are his advisers? Some reports are that Prince William has | :24:27. | :24:34. | |
been in daily contact with him as well. Who other backroom boys? | :24:34. | :24:40. | |
William and Harry share an office in St James's Palace, so he has a | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
small team there, and I am sure William has been on Twitter with | :24:44. | :24:49. | |
him. I don't know if William has been very busy in the Falklands. | :24:49. | :24:55. | |
is probably quite envious of where his brother has been? Absolutely! | :24:55. | :24:59. | |
What about the long-term prospects for somebody like Prince Harry. | :24:59. | :25:04. | |
When you look at Prince Andrew, for example, he had a pretty bad press, | :25:04. | :25:11. | |
maybe does not have the same ease of manner. Is there the risk that | :25:11. | :25:17. | |
the spare to the air of the throne can fall into bad habits if he is | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
not carefully managed? There is very much a risk and we are not | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
seeing it now because Harry is so dedicated to his Army career and | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
whether he stays in the army, we do not know. He probably doesn't know | :25:30. | :25:34. | |
either. There is always the risk that he will have all the goodies | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
and not have the responsibility and I think that had we need to have a | :25:38. | :25:43. | |
defined role. What it will be, we don't know. His relationship with | :25:44. | :25:48. | |
the press, which Prince William shares with him, is extremely | :25:48. | :25:53. | |
wearing, but do you think he has relaxed on that as well? Apparently, | :25:53. | :25:58. | |
he has relaxed. He has been very charming to the press on this trip | :25:58. | :26:02. | |
and Harry naturally doesn't like the media, nor does William, | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
because they still blame their mother's death on the media, with | :26:06. | :26:11. | |
quite good reason. Henry is one of the boys. There is no point were | :26:11. | :26:15. | |
picking on a few people saying it is their fault. He has been very | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
wide and has made friends with the people on this trip with him, which | :26:19. | :26:26. | |
is great. Ingrid Seward, thank you. The main news: The Afghan | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
parliament has passed a strongly worded resolution about the killing | :26:30. | :26:35. | |
of 16 civilians by a US soldier. He said people had lost their patience | :26:35. | :26:40. | |
with the actions of foreign troops and that the soldier must be tried | :26:40. | :26:44. | |
publicly in an Afghan Court, which is pretty unlikely given immunity | :26:44. | :26:49. | |
from prosecution that the United States demands. That is it. From me | :26:49. | :26:59. | |
:26:59. | :27:01. | ||
and the rest of the team, goodbye. On Monday we had warm sunshine for | :27:01. | :27:06. | |
some of us, but much more cold and cloudy conditions elsewhere. | :27:06. | :27:10. | |
Tonight we will see a lot of cloud around but tomorrow we will start | :27:10. | :27:15. | |
to break the cloud up. All the while, it is staying drive | :27:15. | :27:19. | |
underneath a big area of high pressure. The weather system is out | :27:19. | :27:25. | |
in the Atlantic. On Tuesday, we will see a lot of cloud around. The | :27:25. | :27:29. | |
cloudiest weather will be across the north and west of the country. | :27:29. | :27:34. | |
To the east of the Pennines, we should see brighter spells. | :27:34. | :27:38. | |
Slightly more cloud for the south- east corner compared to Monday. As | :27:38. | :27:45. | |
a result a few degrees down on what we have had in recent days. Lloyd | :27:45. | :27:50. | |
winds across the country. Cloudy skies across the south and west of | :27:50. | :27:56. | |
the country -- like winds. Across Wales, where we have got cloudy | :27:56. | :28:00. | |
skies, the temperatures will struggle and for Northern Ireland, | :28:00. | :28:08. | |
it is going to be overcast but dry. The Western Isles of Scotland will | :28:08. | :28:12. |
