:01:43. > :01:48.North Korea's satellite rocket ended in a spectacular failure,
:01:48. > :01:52.with a huge splash in the sea. The international community believe
:01:52. > :01:55.that North Korea had been trying to test a long-range missile, and the
:01:55. > :02:00.UN today condemned their action, saying it was a violation of UN
:02:00. > :02:10.resolutions. The rocket launch was part of public celebrations marking
:02:10. > :02:15.
:02:15. > :02:20.the Kim dynasty that founded North Korea.
:02:20. > :02:25.The his swagger is that of a naan bread for power up. King Gollum is
:02:25. > :02:31.29 years old. Today anointed -- Kim Jong Un was today and nodded
:02:31. > :02:37.Supreme Leader. The third generation of the Kim dynasty. His
:02:37. > :02:42.father and grandfather ruled before him. North Koreans are taught to
:02:42. > :02:46.revere them like gods. But the young king's elevation was meant to
:02:46. > :02:52.be accompanied by news that North Korea had successfully put a
:02:52. > :02:55.satellite into space, an achievement by such a young man
:02:55. > :02:58.would reinforce his right to the mantle of power. But there was no
:02:58. > :03:02.mention here of the rocket blowing up a minute into flight, just a
:03:02. > :03:06.brief statement earlier in the day that things had not gone to plan.
:03:06. > :03:10.North Korea's leadership placed huge importance on the satellite
:03:10. > :03:15.launch. Its failure is embarrassing. The question is, what effect will
:03:15. > :03:20.it have on the regime and the young Kim Jong Un? Toiling by hand, gangs
:03:20. > :03:26.of workers line the ball of bards at Pyongyang. The rocket was meant
:03:26. > :03:34.to be a way of showing North Korean that the socialist state the Kims
:03:34. > :03:38.have created is technologically advanced. Their neighbour said it
:03:38. > :03:42.was a disguised to test an intercontinental missile. The young
:03:42. > :03:48.Kim's father also tested nuclear bombs. This was the last place Kim
:03:48. > :03:54.Jong Il visited before dying. The tears are genuine. She believes he
:03:54. > :03:57.is immortal. We visited before the rocket exploded. She told us, we
:03:57. > :04:04.are grateful to Kim Jong Il for making our nation a powerful and
:04:04. > :04:10.strong country. Strength and self- reliance. There are virtues that
:04:10. > :04:17.are taught to all North Koreans. But now this country's neighbours
:04:17. > :04:21.fear that its young leader, who has suffered a blow to his prestige,
:04:21. > :04:27.may be tempted to respond with a new show of power. Perhaps by
:04:27. > :04:33.testing a nuclear bomb. This is already a deeply isolated place,
:04:33. > :04:37.under sanctions. The developing both missile technology and
:04:37. > :04:46.nuclear-weapons. But today there was only reference for the Kim
:04:46. > :04:49.dynasty. It was good? North Koreans are oblivious or
:04:49. > :04:53.unconcerned at that Kim Jong Un's rocket was a failure and that
:04:53. > :04:55.America, Britain and the others may now seek to isolate this country
:04:55. > :04:59.even further at the UN. One man who understands North Korea
:04:59. > :05:02.better than most is Christopher Hill. Until 2009, he led the US
:05:02. > :05:12.delegation to the six party talks aimed at resolving concerns over
:05:12. > :05:13.
:05:13. > :05:18.North Korea's nuclear programme. He joins me now live from Denver. What
:05:18. > :05:24.impact do you think the failure of this rocket launch will have? Will
:05:24. > :05:28.it make criticism of North Korea worse, or not have much impact?
:05:28. > :05:32.Firstly, it is always a good day when one of their tests fails. But
:05:32. > :05:37.that is not the end of it. The North Koreans intend to improve
:05:37. > :05:42.their missile technology so that they can get a delivery system for
:05:42. > :05:47.their nuclear weapon. So we still have an enormous problem. The good
:05:47. > :05:50.news was the fact that we held together closely with the South
:05:50. > :05:57.Koreans and the Japanese. There was no sign of arguing about how to
:05:57. > :06:02.manage this. The diplomatic focus shifted back to the Chinese. They
:06:02. > :06:07.brokered this recent deal, where the US implicitly agreed to food
:06:07. > :06:11.aid in return for a freeze on getting the inspectors back into
:06:11. > :06:19.the country. We will have to see how the Chinese regard this. They
:06:19. > :06:24.cannot be happy with their neighbours. Looking at what is
:06:24. > :06:27.going on inside North Korea, this is a fairly unpredictable time. It
:06:27. > :06:33.is an embarrassing failure for the leadership. Is it going to embolden
:06:33. > :06:37.them to make more progress with their nuclear plans and to try to
:06:37. > :06:40.cover up the embarrassment? Could it lead up -- could it lead to a
:06:40. > :06:44.shake-up of the ruling elite, or might they direct their anger
:06:44. > :06:49.externally? The first concern many people have is the idea that they
:06:49. > :06:57.will follow this up by some technological success, which could
:06:57. > :07:02.be a nuclear test. That could be next. South Koreans believe that is
:07:02. > :07:08.what is coming. But the North Koreans certainly need to show that
:07:08. > :07:14.they are in charge of things. Right now, this was a test of Kim Jong
:07:14. > :07:20.Un's leadership. I would not want to be a North Korean missile
:07:20. > :07:25.engineer today. I can imagine that there will be a lot of changes to
:07:25. > :07:30.their missile programme. It is not the first time they have had a
:07:30. > :07:39.failure with liquid fuel rockets. More broadly, the Kim Jong Un
:07:39. > :07:42.regime has a lot to do in terms of getting itself established. They
:07:42. > :07:45.reached an agreement with the Americans and then reneged on it,
:07:45. > :07:49.suggesting that they did not have their act together in the first
:07:49. > :07:53.place. So we need to fasten our seatbelts for the next few weeks.
:07:53. > :07:57.And the United Nations has condemned the rocket launch, saying
:07:57. > :08:01.it is deplorable. Will they go further? Will this triggering a
:08:01. > :08:05.round of sanctions or greater action at the Security Council?
:08:05. > :08:08.Well, North Korea is the most sanctioned country in the world. So
:08:08. > :08:13.the issue is probably not just getting new sanctions on North
:08:13. > :08:19.Korea, but to implement the ones we have in a better way. That is where
:08:19. > :08:23.it will be focused on China. The Chinese are very much preoccupied
:08:23. > :08:28.with their internal issues right now. They have the succession,
:08:28. > :08:32.albeit not an election, coming up this year. They have turmoil inside
:08:32. > :08:36.their own Communist Party. Nonetheless, the Chinese will have
:08:36. > :08:45.to look at the situation in North Korea and step it up a little. They
:08:45. > :08:47.have not been able to deliver the North Koreans very much lately.
:08:47. > :08:50.The British Prime Minister, David Cameron, says he supports a
:08:50. > :08:54.suspension of sanctions against Burma, except for the ban on the
:08:54. > :08:57.sale of arms. Mr Cameron, the first Western leader to visit Burma since
:08:58. > :09:00.a civilian government came to power a year ago and the first serving
:09:00. > :09:07.British prime minister ever to visit Burma, was speaking after
:09:07. > :09:09.talks with the democracy leader, Aung San Ms Suu Kyi. Ms Suu Kyi
:09:09. > :09:19.herself said suspending sanctions would strengthen the position of
:09:19. > :09:21.
:09:22. > :09:25.the reform movement. This was the moment a British prime
:09:25. > :09:29.minister oasts set foot in Burma for the first time in more than 60
:09:29. > :09:33.years, the moment he met the woman whose confinement in this house for
:09:33. > :09:37.14 years captured the world's attention. But today, she was free
:09:37. > :09:41.to receive her guest. No longer a political prisoner and instead,
:09:41. > :09:45.after historic elections, a new member of parliament. Their aim was
:09:45. > :09:49.to persuade Mr Cameron that her country's removed -- moved to
:09:49. > :09:53.reform is genuine. His aim was to lend Britain's support for that
:09:53. > :09:59.change. As a result, he said he sanctions against Burma should not
:09:59. > :10:03.be lifted, but suspended. Of course we must respond with caution, with
:10:03. > :10:07.care. We must always be sceptical and questioning, because we want to
:10:07. > :10:11.know that those changes are irreversible. But as we have
:10:11. > :10:18.discussed, it is right to suspend the sanctions that there are
:10:18. > :10:22.against Burma, not to lift them and not to include the arms embargo.
:10:22. > :10:28.This suspension would have taken place because of the steps taken by
:10:28. > :10:33.the president and other reformers. It would also make it clear to
:10:33. > :10:37.those against reform that should they try to obstruct the way of the
:10:37. > :10:42.reformers, sanctions could come back. David Cameron has never met
:10:42. > :10:47.Aung San Suu Kyi before, but the smiles and body language show that
:10:47. > :10:52.he was inspired by what she said. You are sitting in a garden where
:10:52. > :10:57.you were barely allowed to walk or to stand. Which used to be a jungle
:10:57. > :11:00.anyway. And only three years ago, you were threatened with prison.
:11:00. > :11:05.This visit is another example of David Cameron's willingness to play
:11:05. > :11:09.a bold stroke on the international stage. But for all the symbolic
:11:09. > :11:13.significance of his meeting today with Aung San Suu Kyi, the real
:11:13. > :11:18.impact will only be known if reform continues and sanctions are lifted.
:11:18. > :11:22.And all that depends on how the military-backed government response.
:11:22. > :11:27.So the Prime Minister travelled along the often empty 20 lane roads
:11:27. > :11:32.that lead to the imposing palace of Burma's President Thein Sein. He
:11:32. > :11:36.went to meet a man once at the art of the dictatorship, and now, he
:11:36. > :11:40.hopes, part of the country's moved to democracy. Along the way, he was
:11:40. > :11:45.greeted by the traditional water festivities that they believe wash
:11:45. > :11:48.away people's sins. The smiles were gone, the meeting more formal. But
:11:48. > :11:51.the Prime Minister welcomed Thein Sein's decision to allow new
:11:51. > :11:55.elections and urged him to go further in releasing political
:11:55. > :11:59.prisoners. He left the meeting convinced that the former general
:11:59. > :12:02.was at least sincere. This is a country where a third of citizens
:12:02. > :12:08.live in poverty and have waited so many decades to change. Leaving
:12:08. > :12:11.Burma today, David Cameron believes that change is so deep-seated that
:12:11. > :12:15.he is inviting Aung San Suu Kyi to London this summer. She has never
:12:15. > :12:20.felt confident enough to the Tate - - take the risk of leaving the
:12:20. > :12:29.country before. Today she said she just might.
:12:29. > :12:32.Now a look at some of the day's other news.
:12:32. > :12:36.Reports are coming in that the Sudanese army is advancing towards
:12:36. > :12:39.the town of Heglig, near the border with South Sudan. The south
:12:39. > :12:43.Sudanese army occupied the town earlier this week after violent
:12:43. > :12:51.clashes. Earlier, South Sudan called the UN troops to be deployed
:12:51. > :12:53.in the area until a political solution can be found.
:12:54. > :12:56.In Guinea Bissau, the President and Prime Minister have reportedly been
:12:56. > :12:58.arrested following a military coup on Thursday night. The Prime
:12:58. > :13:01.Minister, Carlos Gomes Junior, is the front-runner in the
:13:01. > :13:04.presidential election run-off due to take place at the end of this
:13:04. > :13:08.month. He was unpopular with the military over plans to scale it
:13:08. > :13:11.down. The organisers of Formula One say
:13:11. > :13:14.that the Grand Prix will go ahead in Bahrain as planned next week.
:13:14. > :13:17.There are concerns about Bahrain hosting the race whilst there is
:13:17. > :13:20.continuing political unrest in the Gulf state. Pro-democracy groups in
:13:20. > :13:24.Bahrain have called for the race to be cancelled, but Bernie Ecclestone,
:13:25. > :13:27.who runs Formula One, says the race is "200%" going to take place there.
:13:27. > :13:31.Anti-government activists in Syria say that several people have been
:13:31. > :13:34.shot dead during demonstrations held after Friday prayers. The
:13:34. > :13:44.violence is a test of the ceasefire brokered by the international envoy
:13:44. > :13:45.
:13:45. > :13:51.Kofi Annan, which came into force yesterday.
:13:51. > :13:55.After Friday prayers, demonstrators tried to defy a security cordon and
:13:55. > :14:00.break through to the main square in the centre of this city. Troops
:14:00. > :14:05.opened fire, causing pandemonium. Activists said at least one
:14:05. > :14:11.protester was killed by gunfire and more than 20 others wounded.
:14:11. > :14:17.Security forces intervened to break up demonstrations in many places
:14:17. > :14:21.like this, just south of Damascus, where tear-gas was used. But
:14:21. > :14:26.despite the risks, thousands turned out in many parts of the country to
:14:26. > :14:30.voice their opposition to the regime. In some places, security
:14:30. > :14:36.forces apparently did not move in. The overall casualty figures were
:14:36. > :14:41.much lower than many feared. But away from the demonstrations, the
:14:41. > :14:45.military are still around with tanks and heavy weapons in many
:14:45. > :14:49.troubled spots like the third biggest city, Homs. Activists there
:14:49. > :14:56.said there has been a resumption of bombardment, although not on the
:14:56. > :15:00.scale that was killing dozens of people a day before the ceasefire.
:15:00. > :15:03.They also say there has been a wave of arrests. This footage shows
:15:03. > :15:08.troops apparently randomly detaining a suspect, beating and
:15:08. > :15:12.kicking him before taking him away. The Government says people are only
:15:12. > :15:22.arrested with legal warrants. The soldiers also seem to be shooting
:15:22. > :15:22.
:15:22. > :15:26.at random. Getting them back to barracks with their tanks and heavy
:15:26. > :15:31.highest priorities in trying to stabilise the shaky truce. So is
:15:31. > :15:34.getting international observers into the country, while the UN
:15:34. > :15:39.Security Council ponders a resolution to cover to deportment,
:15:39. > :15:45.the first group is waiting for a signal to move. At the moment, we
:15:45. > :15:51.have an advance team standing by to board planes and get themselves on
:15:51. > :15:55.the ground as soon as possible. Kofi Annan still has a lot to do
:15:55. > :15:59.before it is trade -- stable. Only then can he get on with the equally
:15:59. > :16:05.daunting task of trying to foster a political agreement on the
:16:05. > :16:09.country's future. Members of the United Nations
:16:09. > :16:13.Security Council say they are finalising a draft resolution
:16:13. > :16:18.authorising a team of observers to travel to Syria. Our correspondent
:16:18. > :16:24.joins us from the UN headquarters. Are we expecting that resolution to
:16:24. > :16:29.be agreed by the end of Friday? had expected it, but it looks as
:16:29. > :16:33.though there is an unexpected delay. The Russians have raised objections
:16:33. > :16:37.about the text. There ambassador told us his idea had been for his
:16:37. > :16:41.simple and brief resolution which would be to get an advanced team on
:16:41. > :16:45.the ground and then a more detailed resolution in terms of the fuller
:16:45. > :16:49.mission would be negotiated over the next few days. But he says the
:16:49. > :16:57.draft he received was too long and complicated, and needed more
:16:57. > :17:03.negotiation. The main point of contention seems to be detailing
:17:03. > :17:08.the main conditions the Government would have to meet, including
:17:08. > :17:12.freedom of movement, freedom of communication and so on. They say
:17:12. > :17:16.you have to put these things in because these are international
:17:16. > :17:21.standards for an independent nation. The Russians have now tabled their
:17:21. > :17:25.own resolution, a shorter one. It is not clear what the next step
:17:25. > :17:28.will be. The council members will continue to discuss this issue.
:17:28. > :17:33.Whether they will be able to get over the difference by the end of
:17:33. > :17:38.the day is not clear. But they are all agreed on the two phases to
:17:38. > :17:42.this mission, that you have an advance team that goes out, much
:17:42. > :17:52.smaller, and then something like a up to 300 monitors to observe the
:17:52. > :17:57.ceasefire? Yes, they agreed on that plan. But the Russians objected to
:17:57. > :18:00.it all being covered in this draft resolution, or so they say. Their
:18:00. > :18:04.position is that the advanced team should get on the ground
:18:04. > :18:09.immediately. But the ambassador said to us today that he wanted
:18:09. > :18:12.just a short resolution saying that, whereas Western diplomats are
:18:12. > :18:22.saying you need more detail in terms of the conditions under which
:18:22. > :18:23.
:18:23. > :18:26.they will work. Staying with Egypt, Egypt's first
:18:26. > :18:31.post-revolutionary presidential election may be six weeks away, but
:18:31. > :18:33.political tensions are already rising. The decision of Hosni
:18:33. > :18:38.Mubarak's former intelligence chief Omar Suleiman to run for the top
:18:38. > :18:42.job has angered many opponents of the current military government. In
:18:42. > :18:46.Khyra's iconic Tahrir Square today, thousands of demonstrators gathered
:18:46. > :18:53.in a mass protest targeting presidential hopefuls lead to the
:18:53. > :18:57.former regime of Hosni Mubarak. Our correspondent joins us from
:18:57. > :19:01.Cairo. So these presidential elections were supposed to mark the
:19:01. > :19:08.start of a new future for Egypt, and yet we are seeing these
:19:08. > :19:11.demonstrations in Tahrir Square as though nothing has changed?
:19:12. > :19:16.could say that, but we are now seeing the tension steadily
:19:16. > :19:20.ratcheting up as we run into the elections. There are arguments over
:19:20. > :19:25.who is eligible to stand for President. The Muslim Brotherhood
:19:25. > :19:29.strongly object to the candidacy of Omar Suleiman, the vice-president
:19:29. > :19:34.of Hosni Mubarak. They see it as a plot to bring back the old system.
:19:34. > :19:37.We are seeing a wider breakdown of trust between the Muslim
:19:37. > :19:41.Brotherhood and the ruling military council, a lack of faith between
:19:41. > :19:44.them. There are reports of a possible exchange between the
:19:44. > :19:47.Muslim Brotherhood and Field Marshal Tantawi, the head of the
:19:47. > :19:50.Military Council, about a naughty brother would want to bring in
:19:50. > :19:54.which would ban Omar Suleiman and other former regime figures from
:19:54. > :19:59.standing, but the military will not accept that. That is not confirmed
:19:59. > :20:07.yeah, but we expect that the military are determined to allow
:20:07. > :20:14.Omar Suleiman to stand. So these demonstrators we are seeing, are
:20:14. > :20:17.they are essentially Muslim Brotherhood supporters opposed to
:20:17. > :20:20.Omar Suleiman? Absolutely. We are seeing a lot of division, because
:20:20. > :20:23.this is almost entirely a demonstration by the Muslim
:20:23. > :20:28.Brotherhood and other Islamists such as the more hardline sophists.
:20:28. > :20:32.Next week, there will be a separate demonstration along the same theme
:20:32. > :20:36.from the more liberal secular opposition. Even the Islamists are
:20:36. > :20:40.divided among themselves about several different candidates, all
:20:40. > :20:43.of whom have a chance of becoming President. Even former regime
:20:43. > :20:47.figures, there are at least three of those in the race, all of whom
:20:47. > :20:52.have an outside chance of becoming President. And there are also
:20:52. > :20:56.people opposed to the Muslim Brotherhood candidate running
:20:56. > :21:01.because although he stepped down as deputy leader, he is essentially

:22:39. > :22:45.he has achieved in five years. Riding the wave of that antipathy
:22:45. > :22:50.is Jean-Luc Melenchon, the champion of the far left. In recent weeks

:23:24. > :23:28.Nicolas Sarkozy has debated on the side issues. We could not talk
