:00:09. > :00:14.This is BBC World News Today. The trial opens in Norway's worst crime

:00:14. > :00:22.in modern times. A far right salute, and an admission to killing 77

:00:22. > :00:26.people, but Anders Behring Breivik claims he's not guilty of murder.

:00:26. > :00:31.TRANSLATION: I acknowledge the acts but I do not plead guilty and I'll

:00:31. > :00:35.claim that I was doing it in self defence.

:00:35. > :00:38.Tears as his manifesto is read out in court, but no sign of remorse

:00:38. > :00:41.for the killings themselves. UN observers arrive in Syria, but

:00:41. > :00:46.just six of them. We have a special report from inside the northern

:00:46. > :00:50.province of Idlib where the guns are still firing.

:00:50. > :00:53.The way it's always been. America's choice of Jim Yong Kim is picked

:00:53. > :00:57.for the Presidency of the World Bank.

:00:57. > :01:00.Also coming up in the programme: Claims that a multi-billion dollar

:01:00. > :01:03.company is profiting from child workers. A BBC investigation

:01:03. > :01:13.uncovers evidence that children as young as ten are working in mines

:01:13. > :01:26.

:01:26. > :01:30.Welcome. There were tears but not apparently of remorse today from

:01:30. > :01:37.Anders Behring Breivik, the man accused of killing 77 people in

:01:37. > :01:41.Norway last July. Let's get the latest from Jon Sopel in Oslo.

:01:41. > :01:46.Thank you. Welcome to Oslo over proceedings have finished for the

:01:47. > :01:49.day. Tomorrow will be an uncomfortable day for Norwegians as

:01:49. > :01:55.Anders Behring Breivik takes to the stand and gives to estimate that

:01:55. > :01:58.could go on for four days. Today was not very comfortable with

:01:58. > :02:04.Anders Behring Breivik arriving in court, release from his handcuffs

:02:04. > :02:12.and giving an extreme right-wing salute as his opening. He sat

:02:12. > :02:17.impassively throughout a list of names being read out, killing them

:02:17. > :02:22.without any apparent feeling when he put bullet after a bulletin to

:02:22. > :02:26.those poor people on the island of Utoeya. He pleaded not guilty but

:02:26. > :02:31.he said that he was not responsible because he was acting in self-

:02:31. > :02:36.defence. Let's get this report now from our correspondent.

:02:36. > :02:42.The mastermind of Norway's suffering was a lead in with his

:02:42. > :02:48.hands in Hancock's. He seemed relaxed, eager. He always wanted

:02:48. > :02:55.the chance to present his views in public. He started with a salute to

:02:55. > :03:04.the far right. No remorse. For the first time in court, we heard the

:03:04. > :03:09.voice of the killer. TRANSLATION: I acknowledge these acts but they do

:03:09. > :03:15.not plead guilty, I will claim to have done it in self-defence.

:03:15. > :03:20.the first time, he shed a tear, but not, it seems, for his victims. The

:03:20. > :03:26.court was shown a video that he had made. The motion, most likely, for

:03:26. > :03:32.his own warped believes. -- emotion. He says the bomb that killed eight

:03:32. > :03:37.people in Oslo and his killing of 69 people on the island of Utoeya

:03:37. > :03:43.were the opening shots in a war, a war against multiculturalism.

:03:43. > :03:48.Against political parties that supported immigration. Each of the

:03:48. > :03:56.people murdered was named. Two shorts to the head, another in the

:03:56. > :04:00.back for money. Orders were hit as they tried to escape. -- others.

:04:00. > :04:03.This trial is being carefully managed, the most disturbing and

:04:03. > :04:08.sensitive evidence will be given only was the television cameras had

:04:08. > :04:12.been switched off. Anders Behring Breivik's appearances on camera

:04:12. > :04:19.will themselves be limited, so was not to give him a platform for his

:04:19. > :04:24.views. He says this amounts to courtroom Popper grander. --

:04:24. > :04:28.propaganda. There was access to the car that he drove to get to the

:04:28. > :04:32.island, the uniform that she was wearing on the island and his

:04:32. > :04:42.steady progress across the summer camp, each redstart, another death.

:04:42. > :05:05.

:05:05. > :05:10.And there was this telephone call Wenger, for just a few moments, his

:05:10. > :05:15.lawyer spoke and defended his client's rights to have his say in

:05:15. > :05:19.court. TRANSLATION: It would be difficult for the victims to hear

:05:19. > :05:24.him, but it is his right, and it would be the most important

:05:24. > :05:29.evidence in deciding if he is legally sane. Among the survivors

:05:29. > :05:37.in court was this woman. It is good to see him now when you're

:05:37. > :05:43.surrounded by police and in a safe place, because it gives a little

:05:43. > :05:50.bit of closure. Are you still afraid of them? No, because he

:05:50. > :05:57.would be locked up no matter what for the rest of his life. It would

:05:58. > :06:01.be a long process, and he takes the stand tomorrow.

:06:01. > :06:07.There is no question about whether Anders Behring Breivik did or did

:06:07. > :06:11.not commit the 77 murders last July, he said that he did, he admits that

:06:11. > :06:17.and he says that he wishes he had killed more people. The key

:06:17. > :06:21.question is if he is sane or insane? Mad or normal? I am joined

:06:21. > :06:27.by a psychiatrist, how do you charge if somebody is mad or not

:06:27. > :06:37.mad? This is a question of using the law, because there is one

:06:37. > :06:42.paragraph in the law. It is one paragraph that says that you are at

:06:42. > :06:48.the same, it means that you are not psychotic and if you're insane,

:06:48. > :06:52.then you are psychotic. Which you could easily argue that to kill

:06:52. > :06:57.that many young people in cold blood shows that you have to be

:06:57. > :07:02.mad! Yes, but not according to the law, because if you are mad

:07:02. > :07:08.according to the law, then you have to be psychotic, and that is

:07:08. > :07:11.different from being mad to as people think of mad. But it is very

:07:11. > :07:16.difficult for somebody to think that this is a legal definition,

:07:16. > :07:20.because we think that people judging if somebody is the same or

:07:20. > :07:23.insane at people like yourself, psychiatrists. Yes, but we have to

:07:23. > :07:28.follow the law because this is the question that has to be decided by

:07:28. > :07:34.the law courts. What would be you're key guide? How would you

:07:34. > :07:38.determined? I would have to see if he is a psychotic or unconscious as

:07:38. > :07:43.they say, and that he can understand what is the reality in

:07:43. > :07:49.this case, what is the reality of his relation to the people in

:07:49. > :07:55.general? Explained to us, there are two reports, one saying that he was

:07:55. > :07:59.mad or insane and the other that he was normal? Yes, it is very strange

:07:59. > :08:03.because we have not had this situation before at all, we have

:08:03. > :08:09.always had two people and be used to be agreeing with what they say,

:08:09. > :08:14.and sometimes they do not agree, so they have to report and the court

:08:14. > :08:18.needs to decide, and they take what this applies just say. But it must

:08:18. > :08:23.be very hard for the Norwegian people to accept when you have had

:08:23. > :08:27.one group of sight cries just saying that he is mad, he is a

:08:27. > :08:35.nutcase, and another group saying that he is normal. -- one group of

:08:35. > :08:42.psychiatrists. Yes, but it depends on how you read the law, actually.

:08:42. > :08:46.It is only a recommendation to the court. A final question about the

:08:46. > :08:50.people themselves, the people that have survived on Utoeya, they must

:08:50. > :08:56.have been going through terrible psychiatric difficulties after

:08:56. > :09:03.having witnessed something like that. I wonder what sort of

:09:03. > :09:09.problems they will be suffering? The victims, yes, but they will, of

:09:09. > :09:14.course, they will have all of these kinds of... They were new to death,

:09:14. > :09:20.they knew somebody that was killed, something like that, that is a very

:09:21. > :09:28.big strain for them. Now we're talking about the man that did this,

:09:28. > :09:31.which is different. OK. Thank you. As we had been hearing, Anders

:09:31. > :09:36.Behring Breivik takes to the stand tomorrow and his words will not be

:09:36. > :09:40.televised, but people will be able to report exactly what he says, and

:09:40. > :09:46.another very uncomfortable, difficult day for Norway, but now

:09:46. > :09:50.back to the studio. Thank you.

:09:50. > :09:53.The truce has been in place for five days and is still very fragile,

:09:53. > :09:58.but the later stage of the Syrian peace plan continued today with the

:09:58. > :10:01.arrival of international observers in Damascus. The advance party of

:10:01. > :10:06.just six members is setting up the mission in Syria and trying to

:10:06. > :10:11.liaise with both sides of the conflict, but with more fighting

:10:11. > :10:15.today in Homs and Idlib, what are the chances of an enduring truth?

:10:15. > :10:21.Access to journalists is restricted but our correspondent and his, man

:10:21. > :10:25.sent this report from inside the province of Idlib.

:10:25. > :10:31.This is meant to be a truce in Syria, in parts, it doesn't sound

:10:31. > :10:37.like it. At best, the clamour here feels uneasy. The ground remains

:10:37. > :10:44.highly dangerous. We moved with rebel fighters into a rehab, a

:10:44. > :10:48.northern town Fergie under the grip of President Assad. -- firmly. The

:10:48. > :10:58.Free Syrian Army relies on stealth and they knew this rich well, and

:10:58. > :11:01.

:11:01. > :11:04.to abandon flats the battles of the war here. But they were unable to

:11:04. > :11:09.resist the ferocious government offensive that swept through this

:11:09. > :11:14.region days ago. The international community talks of ceasefires and

:11:14. > :11:19.peace plans, but the view from the ground is very different.

:11:19. > :11:23.TRANSLATION: They are buying time. The Government lies to the people.

:11:23. > :11:28.It lies to the whole world, so it is not surprising that they lied to

:11:29. > :11:32.Kofi Annan also. They have not stop shooting. Down below, you can

:11:32. > :11:37.clearly see not all government forces have withdrawn. Every few

:11:37. > :11:41.minutes, there are short bursts of gunfire. We do not know which side

:11:41. > :11:48.his shooting, but whoever is responsible, it leaves the peace

:11:48. > :11:51.plan looking shaky. We're just overlooking the town which is

:11:51. > :11:54.pretty much a ghost city, and there is some traffic moving in the

:11:54. > :11:59.distance, but the Government is controlling this area. They have

:11:59. > :12:02.set up checkpoints and we can see a tank moving and in the last 60

:12:02. > :12:06.minutes we could hear the sound of gunfire. This is a few days after

:12:06. > :12:09.the ceasefire is known to have taken place. We sold government

:12:10. > :12:13.road blocks on the road into town, stopping and checking vehicles.

:12:13. > :12:21.They were looking for the man they call terrace, the soldiers of the

:12:22. > :12:25.rebel army. -- called terrorists. Perhaps the rebels had been beaten

:12:25. > :12:30.and bloodied but they have not bowed. And the fighters admit back

:12:30. > :12:35.in. The bypass roads and cities and they call the same mission to

:12:35. > :12:39.protect their homes and families. - - the call this mission. The

:12:39. > :12:44.struggle is about their future. The girls at the family may be young

:12:44. > :12:50.but they already know the language and the loss of the revolution.

:12:50. > :12:54.Last week, this area was under attack. But today, women and girls

:12:54. > :13:00.dare to leave their homes once again. They come back onto the

:13:00. > :13:09.streets with a call for change that perhaps is louder than ever.

:13:09. > :13:13.It is a mistake to think that all Syrians share their view, as some

:13:13. > :13:17.people see this as an Islamic threat, but if there is to be peace,

:13:17. > :13:27.it needs to be made in places like this and that does so much death,

:13:27. > :13:28.

:13:28. > :13:34.positions have only hardened. And fear is never far away. President

:13:34. > :13:39.Assad's army is slaughtering us, this man says. When Kofi Annan left

:13:39. > :13:43.last time, they attacked us, says this woman. She has no faith that

:13:43. > :13:46.the UN monitors will make the difference. After the bloodshed of

:13:46. > :13:51.the last few weeks, the truth is that these people have simply come

:13:51. > :14:01.too far and lost too much to give up now. In the words of one, we

:14:01. > :14:06.will carry on protesting until the last man is standing.

:14:06. > :14:09.Some of the other news, the Afghan President has said that deadly

:14:09. > :14:13.attacks by Taliban insurgents across Afghanistan on Sunday

:14:13. > :14:16.revealed a failure by the intelligence services are both the

:14:16. > :14:21.Afghan and NATO-led forces. The last of the insurgents that

:14:21. > :14:25.infiltrators Kabul and launched attacks on the Parliament, NATO Wed

:14:25. > :14:29.quarters and other embassies had been overpowered. We had been to

:14:29. > :14:33.one building where militants orchestrated the attack.

:14:33. > :14:38.This is the scene of one of the fiercest attacks on Kabul, this

:14:38. > :14:41.half-finished building which is one of the highest in the area are. It

:14:41. > :14:45.is a building that insurgents be used as a firing position to attack

:14:45. > :14:50.the nearby British and German embassies. The President is calling

:14:50. > :14:55.it a huge intelligence failure by both NATO and the Afghan security

:14:55. > :14:58.forces. But insurgents were in effect able to repeat the same

:14:58. > :15:03.tactics that be used to lay siege to the American embassy last year.

:15:03. > :15:07.Again, that was just a short distance away. Afghan security

:15:07. > :15:12.forces eventually brought things under control here and also at the

:15:12. > :15:15.Parliament and it was an Afghan lead operation and they have won

:15:15. > :15:20.praise in some quarters for doing much better than in the past, and

:15:20. > :15:28.yet, NATO back-up was still essential. Behind the scenes, and

:15:28. > :15:31.also, directly in the fighting. Sudan's Parliament has voted to

:15:31. > :15:37.declare south Sudan and enemy after troops captured the main while Phil

:15:37. > :15:41.last week. Last Tuesday's attack on the wide field has shut down

:15:41. > :15:48.production there. South Cezanne became independent last year after

:15:48. > :15:52.a civil war. A female model in Milan Segers paid personally by

:15:52. > :15:56.Silvio Berlusconi when she attended one of his bunga bunga parties.

:15:56. > :16:01.Imane Fadil senior arriving in a green jacket said he had seen two

:16:01. > :16:05.women dressed as nuns stripping off for Mr Berlusconi. He denies

:16:05. > :16:15.knowing that women at his parties were prostitutes wore a sleeping

:16:15. > :16:17.

:16:17. > :16:27.Two protesters have climbed onto the roof of the Bahraini em's in

:16:27. > :16:30.

:16:30. > :16:33.London. -- embassy in London. Activists say the authorities are

:16:34. > :16:38.withholding treatment from Hassan Mushaima.

:16:38. > :16:42.Fabrice Muamba has been discharged from hospital after having cardiac

:16:42. > :16:48.arrest during a game. He was left fighting for his life last month.

:16:48. > :16:52.In a statement, Muamba thanked the staff who took care of him.

:16:52. > :16:57.In the end, it went the way it always has done, the World Bank

:16:57. > :17:01.announcing in the last hour or so that its next President will be the

:17:01. > :17:04.US nominee Jim Yong Kim. The two remaining candidates were from

:17:04. > :17:10.Nigeria and America. The US has held the World Bank presscy since

:17:10. > :17:20.it was founded in 1944. This year there was real pressure to open up

:17:20. > :17:24.

:17:24. > :17:28.the job to outside competition. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala was Nigeria's

:17:28. > :17:36.candidate. She lost out to Jim Yong Kim, America's candidate. He's a

:17:36. > :17:38.leading figure in the global health. He's the current President of Ivy

:17:38. > :17:40.League Dartmouth College in New Hampshire. Uri Dadush has

:17:40. > :17:43.previously served as the World Bank's director of international

:17:43. > :17:52.trade and director of economic policy, and he joins us from

:17:52. > :17:58.Washington. Did the best candidate win? I personally don't think so.

:17:59. > :18:04.Dr Kim is certainly a remarkable individual, but Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala

:18:04. > :18:07.has broader development and economic policy experience as well

:18:07. > :18:14.as a deep knowledge of the organisation. So why didn't the

:18:14. > :18:21.best candidate win? Because it is not an open and competitive process.

:18:21. > :18:24.It is the subject of enormous amount of horse trading, much of

:18:24. > :18:29.which happens behind-the-scenes and is guided by the United States,

:18:29. > :18:36.which is the world's economic and military superpower. The irony is

:18:36. > :18:42.it was only last year when all 187 members said it would be an open,

:18:42. > :18:50.transparent decision. Yes, it is ironic. We went through something

:18:50. > :18:56.that looks like an open process, because differenting candidates

:18:56. > :19:02.were nominated and interviewed etc, but in practice, it remains a

:19:02. > :19:06.highly guided process. What are Mr Kim's faults then or failings for

:19:06. > :19:14.this job? And will it lead to problems within the World Bank in

:19:14. > :19:19.the future? I dofpbt have a critique of Dr Kim. He is a

:19:19. > :19:26.remarkable man, who has done quite a lot for development. I tried to

:19:26. > :19:31.compare the qualifications that you need to have broad based

:19:31. > :19:35.development institute like the World Bank and I find that the two

:19:35. > :19:40.other candidates that were put forward fit that job description

:19:40. > :19:45.much better than does Dr Kim. Now, that's my view. It happens to be a

:19:45. > :19:50.view of a lot of other development professionals, but you never know.

:19:50. > :19:56.I can only wish Dr Kim good luck in his very, very important job.

:19:56. > :20:02.just that Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala had the backing of the the Eeconomist,

:20:02. > :20:06.the New York Times a lot in the World Bank itself. Should she feel

:20:06. > :20:10.right to be aggrieved of this process. She didn't even get Russia

:20:10. > :20:18.backing her, when Russia perhaps as a developing nation, could have

:20:18. > :20:21.thrown its weight behind her. has an important job as Finance

:20:21. > :20:25.Minister and economics minister in nigh jeer ya. She's hardly going to

:20:25. > :20:32.be unemployed. I think she has done the world a service by accepting to

:20:32. > :20:36.be put forward and by fighting for the job. With respect, that wasn't

:20:36. > :20:40.quite the question was it. We interviewed her last week and she

:20:41. > :20:48.was very diplomat nick what she had to say. Should she feel aggrieved?

:20:48. > :20:53.This is another US block sich up, isn't it? I think she should feel

:20:53. > :20:56.aggrieved. I suspect she does feel aggrieved. Those of us who want

:20:57. > :21:02.this to be an open and competitive process and reflecting the

:21:02. > :21:07.realities of the world economy, where the developing countries are

:21:07. > :21:13.playing an absolutely fundamental role in driving growth and

:21:13. > :21:17.prosperity, feel bad about what has happened. We hope that by

:21:17. > :21:21.interdueinging -- introducing, supposedly introducing a more

:21:21. > :21:27.competitive process this time, at least there was a discussion, that

:21:27. > :21:32.we are setting the stage for opening up both the International

:21:32. > :21:36.Monetary Fund to a non-European and the World Bank to a non-American,

:21:36. > :21:40.whoever the best person might be. Do you think, though, that this is

:21:40. > :21:45.probably the last time this is going to happen, that they can't

:21:45. > :21:51.keep this monopoly going forever? hope so. I cannot tell you that I

:21:51. > :21:57.am certain of that. But I certainly hope. So I think it's going to be

:21:57. > :22:01.very important for the viability of these institutions to be seen as

:22:01. > :22:08.representative of the broader world. It is odd, isn't it, that you now

:22:08. > :22:12.have the new President of the World Bank appointed in a pretty

:22:12. > :22:16.untransparent sort of way, perhaps going round and lecturing African

:22:16. > :22:23.countries about democracy and transparency, when it comes to

:22:23. > :22:29.their own government bodies? Yes, yes. I agree. That's going to make

:22:29. > :22:35.it more difficult for Dr Kim. There is going to be a legitimacy issue

:22:35. > :22:42.right from the first day, but again, you know, people will rally around

:22:42. > :22:51.the new President. Should he feel embarrassed? I don't know if he

:22:51. > :22:56.should feel embarrassed, after ul, he was called to this job by the

:22:56. > :23:00.President of the United States, his leader. I'm sure that he sees it as

:23:11. > :23:15.giant stands accused of juxping raw acid and profiting from children

:23:15. > :23:20.working in a copper mind in Democratic Republic of Congo. An

:23:24. > :23:29.a mine. John Sweeney has this report.

:23:29. > :23:34.Have you heard of Glencore? It may not be a household name but

:23:34. > :23:38.it trades a tenth of the wheat that comes onto the world market, a

:23:38. > :23:40.quarter of barley and half of the copper wh. It was floated on the

:23:55. > :24:00.environment, we care about the people. We care about all these

:24:00. > :24:05.issues in the environments in which we operate. But their copper

:24:05. > :24:10.refinery in the drk -- Democratic Republic of Congo tells a different

:24:10. > :24:15.story to. Reach the copper the rock is burnt with sulphuric acid, the

:24:15. > :24:19.result is an acid water fall. You can see the pollution. You can see

:24:19. > :24:25.how bad it looks, but you can't smell. It I promise you standing

:24:25. > :24:29.here it stinks to high heaven. This whole place stinks of acid.

:24:29. > :24:33.Glencore say the pollution started long before the company took over

:24:33. > :24:38.the refinery and it has now been stopped. Here's some water I took,

:24:38. > :24:42.would you like to wash your hands with it, Sir? I can see what it is.

:24:42. > :24:47.I can see it. Would you like to wash your hands with the water?

:24:47. > :24:51.I've seen it. I've been to that river. That's what has been dumped

:24:51. > :24:54.into the river for 50 years. So far the company has made no commitment

:24:54. > :24:58.to compensate the villagers for the acid this their water. That's not

:24:58. > :25:03.the only complaint they're facing in the Congo. This is Glencore's

:25:03. > :25:07.copper mining concession, the company closed the mine four years

:25:07. > :25:09.ago. Secret filming revealed hundreds of miners working on site,

:25:09. > :25:19.after a local firm started working there. Some of them were only

:25:31. > :25:35.that the mine has been taken over by freelance miners. After tracking

:25:35. > :25:42.lorries and paper work, panorama found strong evidence that some of

:25:42. > :25:47.the copper ended up in a Glencore smelter. If the material is

:25:47. > :25:51.arriving at Mupani, we are profiting from child labour. But I

:25:51. > :25:56.am, with the systems in place, I am sure, unless people can prove

:25:56. > :26:00.otherwise, how any material came other than our own material can be

:26:00. > :26:04.arriving at Mupani. If the material is arriving there, I have no idea

:26:04. > :26:10.how it can be getting there. Glencore is about to become even

:26:10. > :26:13.more powerful. It's announced plans for a merger with Xstrata another

:26:14. > :26:20.mining giant. Serious questions remain about how one of the world's

:26:20. > :26:24.most powerful companies puts ethics into practice.

:26:24. > :26:33.Our main news: Anders Behring Breivik, who has admitted killing

:26:33. > :26:38.77 people in two acts of terror in Oslo last July, has gone on trial.

:26:38. > :26:41.He formally pleaded not guilty for the twin attacks. He showed no

:26:41. > :26:45.emotion as the prosecuter described in graphic detail how the victims

:26:45. > :26:55.died. But he did cry when his own propaganda video was shown in

:26:55. > :26:59.

:26:59. > :27:03.evidence. Hello there. For many of us today

:27:03. > :27:06.we had the sunshine, but it's all change for tonight and tomorrow's

:27:06. > :27:10.weather. There's a band of rain moving through, leaving behind

:27:10. > :27:13.plenty of heavy and blustery showers for much of the afternoon.

:27:13. > :27:18.It's all courtesy of this low. Weather fronts move in through the

:27:18. > :27:21.night. For tomorrow, they slowly clear their way eastwards. They are

:27:21. > :27:26.bumping into cold air across northern Scotland. Here we could

:27:26. > :27:30.see snow, particularly above higher ground. For the afternoon the

:27:30. > :27:34.showers are likely to be widespread. They could be heavy and thundery in

:27:34. > :27:38.a few places. Where we get sunshine in between the showers,

:27:38. > :27:42.temperatures for the south-east will climb to about 13 to 14. The

:27:42. > :27:47.wind's gusty as well. Taking the edge off the temperatures across

:27:47. > :27:51.south-west England, highs of 11 or 12. There's a high chance if you're

:27:51. > :27:55.heading out tomorrow afternoon you're likely to get caught in a

:27:55. > :27:59.downpour. Showers scattered across Wales. Temperatures 11 to 12. For

:27:59. > :28:03.Northern Ireland, we'll see a few showers with temperatures at nine

:28:03. > :28:07.to ten degrees. In Scotland it's fairly cloudy through the afternoon,

:28:07. > :28:11.still with this band of rain across northern areas. Again we could see

:28:11. > :28:15.snow across higher ground. Through the night then that band becomes

:28:15. > :28:18.quite suburn to clear northern Scotland. The showers tend to fade
