:01:17. > :01:36.East as part of our 100 Women series, we have a guest editor.
:01:37. > :01:40.Wellcome. The Americans seem to be upsetting a lot of their allies
:01:41. > :01:42.these days with allegations about their surveillance programmes. This
:01:43. > :01:47.week it is the turn of the Germans to protest to the claims that Angela
:01:48. > :01:51.Merkel has had her mobile phone calls intercepted by US
:01:52. > :01:55.intelligence. The Americans have said they are not want to drink her
:01:56. > :01:59.calls but the didn't mention whether they had done so in the past --
:02:00. > :02:06.monitoring. The issue is bound to feature heavily at the summit in
:02:07. > :02:08.Brussels. Europe's most powerful leader
:02:09. > :02:14.arrived here not clutching her mobile phone, and still wanting and
:02:15. > :02:21.this from one of her closest allies. TRANSLATION: I have made it clear to
:02:22. > :02:25.the US president spying on friends is not acceptable. I told him that
:02:26. > :02:31.July and I told him that yesterday for stop I did this in the interest
:02:32. > :02:34.of the German people. This is not about myself but all citizens, trust
:02:35. > :02:38.between partners and allies and such trust has to be renewed. In Germany
:02:39. > :02:44.they know her as the mobile chancellor, sheep to be governed by
:02:45. > :02:49.smartphones -- she practically governs. In Berlin they have
:02:50. > :02:55.summoned the US ambassador to the Foreign Ministry and asked for an
:02:56. > :02:59.immediate and comprehensive explanation. Instead from the White
:03:00. > :03:02.House came simply a denial about the present and future but not the past.
:03:03. > :03:07.As I mentioned yesterday the president spoke with her and
:03:08. > :03:13.reassured her United States will not and is not monitoring her
:03:14. > :03:21.communications. We have also said we are reviewing the way we gather
:03:22. > :03:27.intelligence to ensure we properly balance security concerns of our
:03:28. > :03:30.citizens. It has left many here in Brussels
:03:31. > :03:33.wondering who else is being monitored. There had been reports
:03:34. > :03:37.this very building, the place where the summit is being held, had also
:03:38. > :03:43.been spied on, and the French suspect millions of their telephone
:03:44. > :03:53.calls have been listening to. Enough is enough, between friends,
:03:54. > :03:59.allies. We need trust, confidence. The confidence has been shaken.
:04:00. > :04:04.David Cameron could yet get dragged into this. Report the intelligence
:04:05. > :04:09.service GCHQ helped US spying programme had already angered many
:04:10. > :04:13.in Europe. Downing Street stresses the revelations are a matter for
:04:14. > :04:16.Berlin and Washington to sort out. At the European Parliament where
:04:17. > :04:19.they are investing all the claims of British MEP is going to Washington
:04:20. > :04:27.next week to question senior officials. There is genuine anger,
:04:28. > :04:32.and people in Germany and France want real answers. The worry is
:04:33. > :04:35.going on in the European Parliament have got genuine depth and need
:04:36. > :04:39.answers. Chancellor and President have a
:04:40. > :04:46.close elation ship. He took the whole family to burning recently.
:04:47. > :04:50.Allegedly and economically the US and Germany need one another. -
:04:51. > :04:59.politically. I have been joined by the London
:05:00. > :05:03.respondent for the German newspaper. It seems as though she is
:05:04. > :05:08.awfully annoyed. She has met the American president
:05:09. > :05:15.several times and has been assured nothing untoward had happened or is
:05:16. > :05:21.happening and she believed it, the German populace were suspicious why
:05:22. > :05:29.don't they probe more? Suddenly she finds herself being eavesdropped on.
:05:30. > :05:32.For a woman who is normally relaxed to put on a public show she has come
:05:33. > :05:39.out all guns blazing and shows her anger.
:05:40. > :05:48.They are quite good friends. They speak in interest to each other She
:05:49. > :05:54.speaks too much on her mobile phone, maybe she should be a bit more
:05:55. > :05:59.careful. She would be advised to cut it back little bit. She calls he
:06:00. > :06:03.regularly, it does she? I wouldn't admit to it, I have to
:06:04. > :06:09.protect my sources. She does use the telephone a lot,
:06:10. > :06:12.she has been seen using a pretty old personal handset but she will have
:06:13. > :06:17.to be more careful. You would wonder why German intelligence hasn't given
:06:18. > :06:26.her a more secure handset. She has been given an absolute
:06:27. > :06:31.secure company by one -- secure one by a company in Dusseldorf. The
:06:32. > :06:38.people who she talks to might not have the same encryption. That is
:06:39. > :06:43.probably where this has happened. Do you think, she is a bit of an
:06:44. > :06:49.enigma, even Germans who hear her speaking German say that. For global
:06:50. > :06:51.public opinion, her English is getting better but she doesn't speak
:06:52. > :06:56.in English in public, does that to some extent increase the area of
:06:57. > :07:04.mystery around her? She has no problem communicating
:07:05. > :07:08.both in German and English. She is known for somebody who holds back on
:07:09. > :07:14.what she believes in she lets public discussions go on before she herself
:07:15. > :07:21.engages in the same subject matter. She is a riddle inside an enigma
:07:22. > :07:26.wrapped in a mystery as Churchill famously said about the old soviet
:07:27. > :07:34.union. She has worked well with this particular appeal. She is a woman,
:07:35. > :07:39.they trust her to hold the reins of power.
:07:40. > :07:45.Will this cause any real fallout? It will because it catches up on the
:07:46. > :07:51.very relationship with America, which used to be called our second
:07:52. > :07:55.constitution. We are falling out with the Americans across the
:07:56. > :08:00.board, this comes at an unfortunate time where distrust is spreading
:08:01. > :08:07.like wildfire. The Americans have not said they
:08:08. > :08:13.have done this, but... They haven't ruled out whether they have done it
:08:14. > :08:18.in the past. The Borg are in government has
:08:19. > :08:24.confirmed to the BBC that a couple claiming to be the parents of Maria,
:08:25. > :08:27.the blonde girl found in that Roma community in Greece, have been
:08:28. > :08:31.questioned by Bulgarian police. They have provided DNA samples which will
:08:32. > :08:39.be compared with those from Maria Hugh remains under the protection of
:08:40. > :08:45.children's charity in Greece -- who. Could they be the missing link to
:08:46. > :08:49.Maria? Family in the tiny Bulgarian town claiming the little girl in
:08:50. > :08:56.Greece could be theirs. The woman and her husband have provided DNA
:08:57. > :09:03.samples for analysis, one of their daughters seems certain.
:09:04. > :09:07.Do you know Maria, she is asked by a journalist? Yes, she is my sister.
:09:08. > :09:12.The mother is posed the same question. I don't know if she is
:09:13. > :09:18.mine or not, I saw her pictures yesterday, now I am sick, I haven't
:09:19. > :09:22.eaten. I do have a child in Greece, I gave her away because I couldn't
:09:23. > :09:27.care for her. Some of their children seem to bear a striking resemblance
:09:28. > :09:32.to little Maria found in a Roma community in central Greece last
:09:33. > :09:35.week. She is in the care of a charity which has had thousands of
:09:36. > :09:41.calls in an international appeal. Reports say the couple gave birth to
:09:42. > :09:46.a girl in Greece in 2009 close to where Maria was found last week
:09:47. > :09:51.They sold the child before returning to Bulgaria. There have been
:09:52. > :09:54.previous allegations of the sale of babies between the two countries
:09:55. > :10:02.with a large trafficking network exposed two years ago. This couple
:10:03. > :10:05.who had Maria in their home in Greece have been charged with
:10:06. > :10:10.abduction. They remain in custody awaiting trial. The DNA results will
:10:11. > :10:19.be known in the coming hours as the wait goes on to solve the mystery of
:10:20. > :10:24.Maria. Now police in Portugal have reopened
:10:25. > :10:28.their enquiry into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann who went missing
:10:29. > :10:33.more than six years ago in Portugal. The public prosecutor 's office said
:10:34. > :10:36.there was new evidence that justified the continuation of the
:10:37. > :10:41.investigation but they have not said what that is.
:10:42. > :10:44.Five years ago 18 months after Madeleine McCann disappeared
:10:45. > :10:48.Portuguese police announced they have done although possibly could to
:10:49. > :10:54.find her. The case was officially closed. Tonight they are back on
:10:55. > :11:01.board Europe's most high-profile missing persons investigation.
:11:02. > :11:06.Detectives say a review of events has produced new lines of enquiry
:11:07. > :11:12.which they will now pursue. As I opened it a bit I looked into
:11:13. > :11:16.the room. I guess I was looking at her bed and I couldn't make her out.
:11:17. > :11:20.It is understood the new information is in linked to the fresh evidence
:11:21. > :11:26.being gathered by Scotland Yard The recent reconstruction of her
:11:27. > :11:31.disappearance has led to more than 3000 calls from the public. Several
:11:32. > :11:35.have given a name to the e-fit photos of a man the police have
:11:36. > :11:39.identified as a potential suspect. However, it is being made clear that
:11:40. > :11:44.the two forces will work closely together and share all information
:11:45. > :11:48.they gather. We have got very good collaboration between the Met and
:11:49. > :11:52.the Portuguese police and that is starting to bear fruit. I hope it
:11:53. > :11:56.will enable a resolution of this terrible thing that happened to the
:11:57. > :12:01.family. It has emerged Kate and Gerry McCann
:12:02. > :12:03.met Portuguese to get last week In a statement they welcomed the
:12:04. > :12:16.decision to reopen the enquiry. More than six years after she went
:12:17. > :12:20.missing the efforts to find out what happened to Madeleine McCann appear
:12:21. > :12:26.more extensive now than when she first disappeared.
:12:27. > :12:30.The latest development there. Let's bring you some other news from
:12:31. > :12:33.around the world. A plain fighting bushfires in the
:12:34. > :12:39.stringy and say of New South Wales has crashed killing its passengers

:12:47. > :12:51.A court in the Libyan told to believe has charged the son of
:12:52. > :12:58.Colonel Gaddafi with a raft of luminal offences. The former
:12:59. > :13:02.military intelligence chief is among 20 other senior officials who have
:13:03. > :13:06.also charged. The alleged offences relate to the killing of
:13:07. > :13:16.demonstrators in the uprising in 2011.
:13:17. > :13:20.Now to the BBC's 100 Women series. The role of women in the Arab
:13:21. > :13:25.uprising and whether this will have an impact? We start with Egypt where
:13:26. > :13:29.women have been involved in many protests that have gripped the
:13:30. > :13:34.country since the fall of Hosni Mubarak.
:13:35. > :13:37.One disturbing aspect is the sexual violence and harassment women have
:13:38. > :13:40.been subjected to while out on demonstrations for top more
:13:41. > :13:46.generally violence against women has been increasing. A recent UN study
:13:47. > :13:49.suggest nine out of ten Egyptian women have been sexually harassed.
:13:50. > :13:50.Civilians are taking matters into their own hands to end the
:13:51. > :14:03.violence. Handing out the Taser 's, volunteers

:14:18. > :14:23.how we will deal with him. Rejoined his group. A hunt for attackers
:14:24. > :14:26.during busy holiday periods. These volunteers say they are on the
:14:27. > :14:30.streets patrolling because they have no choice. They say they are doing
:14:31. > :14:35.the job the authorities should be doing. For the most part, the police
:14:36. > :14:43.are looking the other way. They say they are ready for violence if
:14:44. > :14:48.necessary. Minutes later, they surround an alleged attacker and
:14:49. > :14:55.restrain him in a headlock. Guilty or innocent, he is humiliated. I am
:14:56. > :15:05.a harasser is stencilled on his back. But most of the worst attacks
:15:06. > :15:12.have happened over -- under cover of darkness during political protests.
:15:13. > :15:18.This was in June. Two terrified women were rescued here. Activists
:15:19. > :15:30.say there were 46 mob assault that night. And there was no one to
:15:31. > :15:36.rescue this freelance journalist. All of a sudden, I've found myself
:15:37. > :15:43.in a massive circle of men who were touching every inch of my body. I
:15:44. > :15:47.thought I was going to die. I thought that because they were so
:15:48. > :15:51.aggressive and actually at a certain point, I think I fainted because one
:15:52. > :15:55.of them was trying to strangle me with a scarf that was around my
:15:56. > :16:05.neck. What is fuelling these cases? Is there a climate of impunity? It
:16:06. > :16:09.is there and it is encouraging molesters. Molesters may feel
:16:10. > :16:20.encouraged by ultra-conservative clerics.
:16:21. > :16:29.This TV channel has now been shut down, but plenty here are ready to
:16:30. > :16:34.blame the victim. Janus discovered that at a police station. She works
:16:35. > :16:40.with another group who try to protect women. She herself has been
:16:41. > :16:46.brutally assaulted, twice, so violently that she had a
:16:47. > :16:52.miscarriage. TRANSLATION: When I went into the station, I was wearing
:16:53. > :16:56.a badge saying no to harassment The officers' response was that the
:16:57. > :17:03.attacker might have read it without the word know as if I was inviting
:17:04. > :17:09.people to harass me. The police are presenting a more concerned face.
:17:10. > :17:15.Parading officers from a new unit set up to tackle violence against
:17:16. > :17:19.women. But with next to no prosecutions, victims fear it is a
:17:20. > :17:22.token gesture. Well, today on World News Today we
:17:23. > :17:26.have a special guest editor. Nadia Al-Sakkaf who is editor in chief of
:17:27. > :17:28.the Yemen Times, the country's first independent English-language
:17:29. > :17:35.newspaper, which has been running since 2005. She's in the studio with
:17:36. > :17:43.me now. We're also joined by Fatima Said, who is a British-Egyptian
:17:44. > :17:48.pro-democracy activist. Fatima, I know you go back to Egypt regularly
:17:49. > :17:54.and see your family affair and sadly you, like so many Egyptian women,
:17:55. > :18:00.have exceeded -- experienced sexual harassment. Why is it so endemic?
:18:01. > :18:06.The biggest reason is the impunity against the perpetrators. There is
:18:07. > :18:13.no justice system in Egypt, there's no retribution for those who commit
:18:14. > :18:17.sexual harassment in these brutal acts we are seeing and unfortunately
:18:18. > :18:23.since the military coup in Egypt, we have seen an erosion of that justice
:18:24. > :18:28.system. Nobody is able to... It has made it more difficult forwarding to
:18:29. > :18:32.get their rights and justice. What we are seeing now is the dignity and
:18:33. > :18:37.honour of women being used as a weapon against them. You say after
:18:38. > :18:45.the military coup, but this kind of harassment predates the removal of
:18:46. > :18:53.Mohamed Morsi and it is happening in has the -- Hosni Marek's time.
:18:54. > :18:58.Absolutely. Now, there is a... I don't think attacks have increased,
:18:59. > :19:03.I think people have become more outspoken. What we are seeing now is
:19:04. > :19:06.not just people on the street committing sexual harassment, but
:19:07. > :19:13.the police and military also doing it. Can I ask something? Is it only
:19:14. > :19:18.happening in the urban centres or in the rural areas? What we are seeing
:19:19. > :19:24.is that it is mainly concentrated around Cairo. Certain areas in Cairo
:19:25. > :19:31.is, especially where protests are taking place, and it is basically
:19:32. > :19:35.being used as a weapon against these women's honour. As I was saying
:19:36. > :19:40.before, not just by men on the streets, but we are also seeing a
:19:41. > :19:44.very dangerous precedent where the military and some members of the
:19:45. > :19:50.security forces are participating in that. They are arresting women and
:19:51. > :19:57.then subjected to harassment and rape. Nadia, it is interesting what
:19:58. > :20:00.you asking, because Egyptian women play an active role in society,
:20:01. > :20:06.particularly in the countryside Nadia, I want to ask you, because
:20:07. > :20:13.women in Yemen played an active role in the protests that led to the
:20:14. > :20:18.removal of Ali Abdullah Saleh. Your experience is different, you didn't
:20:19. > :20:23.suffer from this kind of harassment? Not really. In fact, women were
:20:24. > :20:32.encouraged to be in the streets by the political parties and they were
:20:33. > :20:38.sort of protected. In fact, I would say that the 2011 events were the
:20:39. > :20:41.single most important event in recent history that promoted Yemeni
:20:42. > :20:47.women's public and political activism. Really? You think it has
:20:48. > :20:55.helped emancipate Yemeni women. When we talk about 1918, women in the UK
:20:56. > :21:00.got the vote. Yemeni women have had their share of activism and
:21:01. > :21:07.political work before, but it was not this massive and it was only for
:21:08. > :21:14.a if you powerful women. Now, it has become everybody's business. One
:21:15. > :21:22.Yemeni woman won the Nobel Peace Prize. I want to ask you and you
:21:23. > :21:32.also, has it have -- had an impact on Arab women in general? Did she
:21:33. > :21:36.help the role of women? Definitely. We are very proud of her. She is a
:21:37. > :21:41.role model. She is also a leader for both men and women. She when she
:21:42. > :21:46.left the demonstrations, there are men and women behind her. It broke a
:21:47. > :21:51.stereotype that women cannot lead men in public and political events.
:21:52. > :21:56.Did that act as a boost in any way to Arab women in the Arab Spring,
:21:57. > :22:04.the fact that this celebrated Yemeni woman? Definitely. It has resonated
:22:05. > :22:08.in Egypt, too. We have seen groups in Egypt, activist groups, coming
:22:09. > :22:12.out and speaking out against the sexual harassment as a result of
:22:13. > :22:19.people like her being given the Nobel Prize. There have been many
:22:20. > :22:28.projects, civilian -based project, that have come to counteract sexual
:22:29. > :22:34.harassment. A friend of mine actually, she is an artist, and she
:22:35. > :22:43.draws comics against sexual harassment and one of her
:22:44. > :22:49.superheroes is a lady, a veiled lady, and she is fighting. In a
:22:50. > :22:54.sentence, you don't agree then with Nadia that the Arab Spring has been
:22:55. > :23:04.good for women in Egypt? It's definitely has. -- it's definitely
:23:05. > :23:07.has. Thank you both very much. Now, to a collection of photos which
:23:08. > :23:10.shows some of America's biggest music stars in a new light. Don
:23:11. > :23:13.Hunstein worked as Columbia Records' in-house photographer and a new book
:23:14. > :23:17.of his work includes a treasure trove of unseen and intimate shots
:23:18. > :23:20.of jazz, rock, soul and classical greats. Music critic Jon Pareles
:23:21. > :23:23.collaborated on the book and spoke to the BBC about how Hunstein made
:23:24. > :23:33.the most of his extraordinary access.
:23:34. > :23:39.A lot of the book is stuff you wouldn't see as it was behind closed
:23:40. > :23:48.doors. It is rehearsals, frame after frame, people just hanging around
:23:49. > :23:52.being musicians. I collaborated on a book of photographs by Don Hunstein
:23:53. > :24:00.who is not a household name, but who was a wonderful photographer. Don
:24:01. > :24:05.Hunstein was the staff photographer for Columbia records from the early
:24:06. > :24:08.50s through to the 80s. What gave him -- that gave him access to
:24:09. > :24:13.everyone that recorded for Columbia. He managed to put these
:24:14. > :24:17.people at ease. By contrast, you can see how much rock stars have their
:24:18. > :24:21.guard up now. Whereas, Hunstein could get Bob Dylan in his most
:24:22. > :24:32.famous photo to put on a coat and go step out on a Greenwich streets He
:24:33. > :24:37.was shooting Bob Dylan in his apartment and didn't like it. He
:24:38. > :24:42.rushed Bob Dylan and his girlfriend outdoors and Dylan put on a light
