:00:00. > :00:11.This is BBC World News Today with me, Zeinab Badawi.

:00:12. > :00:13.Chaos in court as Egypt's deposed president Mohammed Morsi goes on

:00:14. > :00:19.trial over the killing of protesters. His supporters say it's

:00:20. > :00:22.just a show trial. Proceedings are interrupted twice as

:00:23. > :00:27.Mr Morsi proclaims he is still Egypt's president. His opponents

:00:28. > :00:32.shout in court that he and his fellow defendants should face the

:00:33. > :00:37.death penalty. The trial is adjourned until

:00:38. > :00:40.January. Manhunt in Britain. What has

:00:41. > :00:43.happened to the terror suspect who walked into a London mosque like

:00:44. > :00:48.this, but left dressed in a full-faced burka?

:00:49. > :00:52.Also coming up. A special BBC report from the Central African Republic

:00:53. > :00:57.where the UN says the country is at risk of descending into genocide.

:00:58. > :01:01.And a hunt for their rightful owners. A huge collection of art

:01:02. > :01:03.looted by the Nazis during the Second World War is found hidden in

:01:04. > :01:22.a flat in Munich. Hello and welcome.

:01:23. > :01:25.He has not been seen in public for four months but, today, Egypt's

:01:26. > :01:29.deposed president Mohammed Morsi made a dramatic appearance in a

:01:30. > :01:33.court outside Cairo where he and 14 other Muslim Brotherhood members are

:01:34. > :01:37.on trial. They are accused of inciting the killing of protesters

:01:38. > :01:42.last year. Mr Morsi refused to wear the prison outfit. He said he was

:01:43. > :01:45.still president and told the judge the case against him was therefore

:01:46. > :01:48.illegitimate. The hearing was interrupted when some of those

:01:49. > :01:51.attending the trial, including journalists, shouted that the

:01:52. > :01:58.defendants should be given the death penalty. Orla Guerin was in court

:01:59. > :02:05.and sent this report. Our relaxed arrival at court for

:02:06. > :02:11.Mohammed Morsi. The ousted Islamist war of smart navy blazer. Egyptian

:02:12. > :02:16.state media said he refused to put on a prison uniform. Inside, he

:02:17. > :02:22.joined his co-accused in a cage in the same court room where his

:02:23. > :02:27.predecessor Hosni Mubarak has been tried. Egypt's first democratically

:02:28. > :02:40.elected president behind bars but still defended. -- defiant.

:02:41. > :02:50.Chaos erupted several times with shouting matches between supporters

:02:51. > :02:56.and opponents of Mohammed Morsi The judge called in vain for quiet.

:02:57. > :03:01.Security for this hearing was incredibly tight. It was several

:03:02. > :03:06.layers deep. What we witnessed inside the courtroom was a deposed

:03:07. > :03:12.president who was determined to have his say. Mohammed Morsi spoke out

:03:13. > :03:16.repeatedly, shouting at the judge, even when his voice became hoarse.

:03:17. > :03:22.Throughout the hearing, he and his fellow accused kept repeating that

:03:23. > :03:26.they did not recognise the court. It was a very different picture last

:03:27. > :03:33.June when Mohammed Morsi was triumphant at the ballot box. 1

:03:34. > :03:38.months on, massive protests at his alleged misrule. The army ousted him

:03:39. > :03:45.saying it was the will of the people. The authorities deny his

:03:46. > :03:54.trial is politically motivated. The system is independent. Hosni Mubarak

:03:55. > :03:58.has been under trial and the same goes for Mohammed Morsi. Nobody is

:03:59. > :04:03.above the law. Supporters of Mohammed Morsi were met with tear

:04:04. > :04:09.gas on the streets today. But his Moslem brotherhood could not deliver

:04:10. > :04:17.the mass protests it promises missed -- it promised. The former

:04:18. > :04:23.president, say campaigners, is at the mercy of selective justice.

:04:24. > :04:25.With me is Abdullah El-Haddad, a spokesperson for the Muslim

:04:26. > :04:32.Brotherhood. What is going to happen now? When

:04:33. > :04:36.this trial resumes in January, is Mohammed Morsi going to defend

:04:37. > :04:40.himself against charges or just carry on saying that he does not

:04:41. > :04:46.accept the authority of the court? First of all, it is not about

:04:47. > :04:54.Mohammed Morsi and this trial, it is about this military coup that has

:04:55. > :05:00.destroyed democracy in Egypt. People will carry on protesting. Is

:05:01. > :05:07.Mohammed Morsi irrelevant? He represents the idea of democracy. He

:05:08. > :05:16.said he should not be tried by this court, and he is right about this.

:05:17. > :05:21.The Constitution said that if the president is tried by a court, he

:05:22. > :05:28.should be tried by a special court. He wants to be tried by a special

:05:29. > :05:35.court? He said, the will of the people should be respected. So he

:05:36. > :05:39.will not respect the authority of this court or defend himself? That

:05:40. > :05:45.is how the Muslim Brotherhood will take these cases forward? It is not

:05:46. > :05:55.the Muslim Brotherhood. It is his decision? But here you are, faced

:05:56. > :05:59.with your president in court, other leaders of your movement are also in

:06:00. > :06:10.court, others are imprisoned, your organisation is banned, you are

:06:11. > :06:15.basically defeated? No, we are not. We have seen in the last four

:06:16. > :06:22.months, millions of Egyptian people, not related to any political party,

:06:23. > :06:36.protesting in the streets. We have seen mass protests around Egypt

:06:37. > :06:43.Nevertheless, the US secretary of state John Kerry visits Kyle and

:06:44. > :06:53.says to the transitional government that he can work with them, that

:06:54. > :07:00.must disappoint you? First of all, we are shocked to see the Western

:07:01. > :07:04.countries who have always argued for democracy be the first people to

:07:05. > :07:11.recognise the military coup in Egypt. The Americans are originally

:07:12. > :07:17.back Mohammed Morsi and did not want to see removed, but BCB will work

:07:18. > :07:31.with the new government? We want the world to back a specific sensible.

:07:32. > :07:35.-- they say they will work. We'll be staying on the streets? Yes, they

:07:36. > :07:43.will stay on the streets. There are protests all over Egypt every

:07:44. > :07:57.Friday. Thousands and thousands have been killed, arrested and tortured.

:07:58. > :08:00.Thank you. In Kenya, four men have appeared in

:08:01. > :08:04.court charged in connection with the Westgate shopping mall attack. All

:08:05. > :08:11.the defendants are believed to be Somali nationals. They pleaded not

:08:12. > :08:13.guilty to charges which included helping terror groups and entering

:08:14. > :08:17.Kenya illegally. The Somalia-based militant group Al-Shabab says it

:08:18. > :08:21.carried out the attack which killed at least 67 people.

:08:22. > :08:23.Here in the UK, Scotland Yard detectives are searching for a

:08:24. > :08:27.terror suspect who managed to abscond by going into a mosque and

:08:28. > :08:30.disguising himself in a burka. Mohammed Ahmed Mohamed, who was born

:08:31. > :08:35.in Somalia, was electronically tagged. But he has not been seen

:08:36. > :08:40.since he left the mosque on Friday with his face completely covered.

:08:41. > :08:45.June Kelly has more. Mohammed Ahmed Mohamed, not

:08:46. > :08:50.convicted of any offence in the UK, but said to be a security threat.

:08:51. > :08:55.This is how he arrived for Friday prayers at his local mosque. And

:08:56. > :09:01.this is how he was dressed when he left, caught on CCTV in a burka He

:09:02. > :09:14.was allowed to attend the mosque regularly in Acton, west London But

:09:15. > :09:21.he was subject to the TPIM regime and his movements restricted. He was

:09:22. > :09:28.fitted with an electronic tag, and at some stage it was deactivated.

:09:29. > :09:32.What do we know about 27-year-old Mohammed Ahmed Mohamed who is now a

:09:33. > :09:37.British citizen? He was born in Somalia where he is said to have

:09:38. > :09:44.been trained and fought with the terrorist organisation Al-Shabab. In

:09:45. > :09:47.the UK, it is claimed he is part of a network funding terrorism in

:09:48. > :09:58.Somalia. In the Commons, the Home Secretary was up against a neighbour

:09:59. > :10:05.front bench have always opposed TPIM arrangements. The police do not

:10:06. > :10:09.believe he is an active threat. He was put on TPIM arrangements to

:10:10. > :10:14.prevent his travel to support terrorism overseas. This is the

:10:15. > :10:20.second man in ten months subject to a TPIM who has now absconded. There

:10:21. > :10:26.were only ten of them to start off with, and two have now gone. One in

:10:27. > :10:33.a black cab, the other in disguise. Ibrahim Magag went in a taxi. He

:10:34. > :10:38.disappeared last Boxing Day and has still not been found. Like the

:10:39. > :10:51.latest fugitive, eat is said to have links to Al-Shabab. He is also of

:10:52. > :10:56.Somali origin. -- he is said. Mohammed Ahmed Mohamed is not the

:10:57. > :11:05.first meal territories subject to use the burka disguise. Ports and

:11:06. > :11:15.borders are on alert, but 72 hours on, he is still on the run.

:11:16. > :11:18.The United Nations has warned that the Central African Republic is at

:11:19. > :11:22.risk of spiralling into genocide and that the government there is unable

:11:23. > :11:25.to control armed groups. A meeting of the UN Security Council also

:11:26. > :11:28.heard that Islamist militants are also gaining strength, creating more

:11:29. > :11:31.tensions between Christians and Muslims. The country has been

:11:32. > :11:35.virtually lawless since rebels seized the capital and ousted the

:11:36. > :11:38.president in March. Stability in the Central African Republic is crucial

:11:39. > :11:42.because it is surrounded by some already volatile countries like DRC,

:11:43. > :11:46.Chad and the two Sudans. The country gained independence from France in

:11:47. > :11:51.1960, but it ha been subject to a series of coups since then, the most

:11:52. > :12:00.recent in March when rebels from the Seleka coalition seized power.

:12:01. > :12:04.Claims of atrocities quickly emerged and hundreds of thousands of people

:12:05. > :12:08.were displaced. Aid groups are calling for urgent help and the UN

:12:09. > :12:12.chief Ban Ki-moon said there has been a total breakdown in law and

:12:13. > :12:16.order there. For the past two months, the town of Bossangoa has

:12:17. > :12:19.been at the crossroads of the violence between the Muslim and

:12:20. > :12:22.Christian communities. Our team has gained rare access to the Central

:12:23. > :12:36.African Republic, Laeila Adjovi reports.

:12:37. > :12:39.Inside the church. In Bossangoa over 35,000 Christians have sought

:12:40. > :12:46.refuge in the Catholic mission after their homes were attacked by a loose

:12:47. > :12:54.alliance of former rebels known as Seleka. Life is hard in the camp,

:12:55. > :13:01.but people are too afraid to leave even when their homes are just down

:13:02. > :13:07.the road. This woman's brother tried to go to town this morning. She has

:13:08. > :13:17.just been told he was beaten and shot dead. But the story had a happy

:13:18. > :13:28.ending, her brother was found, badly beaten but alive. This man dearest

:13:29. > :13:37.to go home whenever he can. There is nothing left after the furniture was

:13:38. > :13:47.stolen. His brother was killed. He says silicate and Muslims are the

:13:48. > :13:52.enemy. -- Seleka. All of this is nothing. My studies can take me

:13:53. > :13:59.somewhere, but for now I want revenge. This is what I want. On the

:14:00. > :14:06.other side of town, the imam preaches peace. This is a community

:14:07. > :14:15.living in fear. The suffering, he says, is on both sides and many

:14:16. > :14:20.hundreds have died. This woman was shot in the neck and left for dead

:14:21. > :14:25.when her village was attacked by Christian militia. She is the sole

:14:26. > :14:31.survivor of her family. She tells me that when she" this, she found the

:14:32. > :14:45.bodies of her father, husband and children lying dead around her. --

:14:46. > :14:49.when she regained consciousness What started as a political

:14:50. > :14:55.rebellion is now threatening to turn into a full-scale religious conflict

:14:56. > :14:59.and the vicious circle of attacks and reprisals mean that the

:15:00. > :15:13.humanitarian situation continues to worsen. The new government is yet to

:15:14. > :15:16.make a plan to end the violence With me is Catherine Teya, the

:15:17. > :15:19.founder and president of the charity organisation SEWA Europe - which

:15:20. > :15:21.aims to promote education among children in the Central African

:15:22. > :15:24.Republic. Also here is Mamadou Moussa Ba, BBC

:15:25. > :15:35.Africa Analyst who was in the CAR earlier this year. I know your

:15:36. > :15:39.family are in the capital, give us an idea of what you are hearing from

:15:40. > :15:44.inside the country? I would like to see that a lot of my family members

:15:45. > :15:50.have had to leave the country because of the violence, especially

:15:51. > :15:55.for the young children in my family, their parents decided to take them

:15:56. > :16:00.away. For those who have stayed they live in fear because of the

:16:01. > :16:06.instability and uncertainty about the future. They are not happy to be

:16:07. > :16:12.there but they do not have the choice. What kind of violence are

:16:13. > :16:18.you talking about? Everyone knows people are being killed on a daily

:16:19. > :16:25.basis, places are being looted and women are being reaped. Everyone can

:16:26. > :16:29.be the victim of rebel groups. I said the United Nations has been

:16:30. > :16:38.warning about the spiral into genocide, it is not a word to use

:16:39. > :16:41.lately, the UN said this will end with Christian and Muslim

:16:42. > :16:47.communities killing one another which means if we do not act now and

:16:48. > :16:54.decisively, I would not exclude the possibility of a genocide occurring.

:16:55. > :16:59.What lies behind that? We must be a bit careful in the way we use the

:17:00. > :17:07.terms. If you look at the whole picture, remember what happened a

:17:08. > :17:19.few years ago in the wind. It is similar. -- in the wind. -- in

:17:20. > :17:23.Rwanda. People are starting to buy all sorts of weapons. If the

:17:24. > :17:29.international community does not act, it could be very dangerous The

:17:30. > :17:35.majority of people are Christians, is that correct? The vast majority

:17:36. > :17:41.of the population are Christians and they live in the south of the

:17:42. > :17:50.country. The north of the country, at the border with Sudan, is a

:17:51. > :17:57.majority of Muslim people. Within the rebels, there are also Arab

:17:58. > :18:11.militias. It is a very volatile parts of Africa. What is behind this

:18:12. > :18:15.hatred, between these communities? They have coexisted for many years.

:18:16. > :18:22.They did not used to be any problem in terms of religion. This is

:18:23. > :18:30.something new, compared to previous disturbances. Everyone was living in

:18:31. > :18:34.peace and getting on well. So what lies behind it? We know the

:18:35. > :18:41.president is now in exile in France, but why the animosity? I

:18:42. > :18:48.think there are different reasons. The rebels were fed up with the

:18:49. > :18:55.government. The previous president was not respecting the agreement.

:18:56. > :18:59.Also, people were living in poverty. Even although rebels came to help

:19:00. > :19:04.the current president take power, a lot of other people decided to

:19:05. > :19:08.join. We do not know what is the rationale behind all of this. I

:19:09. > :19:14.think everyone is defending their own interest. What can the

:19:15. > :19:21.international community do? The French have troops there. We have

:19:22. > :19:27.the possibility of the African union, the UN or what? Certain

:19:28. > :19:35.actions must be taken. The international community should

:19:36. > :19:38.increase the number of troops there. This should ensure that as a

:19:39. > :19:43.disarmament of all these malicious. The rebels and all the people who

:19:44. > :19:52.are coming from neighbouring countries. -- of all the militia.

:19:53. > :19:57.And mentally, I think the organisation for free and fair

:19:58. > :20:01.election is important. The country needs legitimate leaders. The

:20:02. > :20:05.current president came to power using force. It was the same

:20:06. > :20:11.situation with the previous president. The trips will have to go

:20:12. > :20:24.in, the French like they did in Mallaig? I think France is trying to

:20:25. > :20:27.send additional troops. -- in Mali. They have troops controlling the

:20:28. > :20:32.airport and they have more troops they intend to send them. Thank you

:20:33. > :20:37.both very much indeed. Now a look at some of the days other

:20:38. > :20:40.news. Heavy fighting is continuing in the

:20:41. > :20:43.Democratic Republic of Congo between government forces and M23 rebels on

:20:44. > :20:47.the country's eastern border with Uganda. The army says it is trying

:20:48. > :20:50.to clear the last areas held by the M23 group. The violence has sent

:20:51. > :20:57.thousands of refugees flooding towards and over the border with

:20:58. > :21:00.Uganda. French police have issued a sketch

:21:01. > :21:03.of a motorcyclist they are looking for in connection with last year's

:21:04. > :21:07.killings of a Iraqi-British family at Lake Annecy. The man in the image

:21:08. > :21:11.is sporting a goatee beard and is wearing a rare type of motorcycle

:21:12. > :21:14.helmet. A husband, wife and her mother died in the attack - the

:21:15. > :21:17.couple's two daughters survived You would think a collection of 1500

:21:18. > :21:20.paintings, including works by Mastisse and Picasso, would adorn

:21:21. > :21:23.one of the world's great galleries. Instead, this remarkable collection

:21:24. > :21:26.has been found gathering dust in a flat in Munich. They were uncovered

:21:27. > :21:35.by tax inspectors investigating the son of an art dealer. It's thought

:21:36. > :21:38.the collection was confiscated by the Nazis during the second World

:21:39. > :21:44.War, raising questions as to who the pieces really belong to. Our Arts

:21:45. > :21:48.Editor Will Gompertz has more. This is a small flat in Munich in which

:21:49. > :21:55.hundreds of millions of pounds of modern art was discovered. 1500

:21:56. > :22:00.artworks by 20th-century masters like Picasso and Matisse were kept

:22:01. > :22:09.here I Gurlitt, the son of a German art dealer who said they had been

:22:10. > :22:15.destroyed. They are thought to have been looted by the Nazis from Jewish

:22:16. > :22:18.homes in the 1930s and 40s. They represent only a fraction of the

:22:19. > :22:24.16,000 pieces they are believed to have plundered. We know that the

:22:25. > :22:31.cases we have, the art we are trying to find which numbers thousands 90%

:22:32. > :22:35.are still missing. That is true for everyone working in this field,

:22:36. > :22:41.despite expert researchers who try and trace these works. When I say

:22:42. > :22:45.missing, some of them are in collections like this and some are

:22:46. > :22:49.in museums which do not publish what they have. The German authorities

:22:50. > :22:56.have not revealed which pictures have been found, but this picture

:22:57. > :22:59.which Gurlitt sold after he was detained, is an example of what

:23:00. > :23:07.Hitler and the Nazis considered degenerate art. Very modern in style

:23:08. > :23:10.and contact -- content. There were some art he disapproved of which he

:23:11. > :23:16.wanted to remove, which is art with the Jewish content. There are also

:23:17. > :23:23.quite clever in keeping a lot of good art. The intended to split that

:23:24. > :23:30.up into collections. This elegant modernist painting is by a German

:23:31. > :23:38.Jewish artists who emigrated to London in 1933. He left several of

:23:39. > :23:44.his artworks back in London, including one in the degenerate art

:23:45. > :23:49.show of 1937. The Nazis gathered several hundred works of art by

:23:50. > :23:55.respected artist and presented them for public ridicule. There has been

:23:56. > :23:59.some criticism of the German authorities for not doing enough to

:24:00. > :24:03.find art looted by the Nazis, not helping to restore it to its

:24:04. > :24:05.rightful owners. Marc Masurovsky from the Holocaust

:24:06. > :24:13.Art Restitution Project joins me from Washington. How difficult will

:24:14. > :24:26.it be to track down who owns this art? That is a great question. It

:24:27. > :24:32.depends where the art comes from. And under what circumstances it was

:24:33. > :24:42.misappropriated by Gurlitt and his colleagues. The way I see it is 1500

:24:43. > :24:47.works of art, probably a larger stalk than most average galleries

:24:48. > :24:53.which is astonishing. Since he was deeply in white in the purchasing of

:24:54. > :25:00.German collections in the 1930s we would expect the percentage of that

:25:01. > :25:05.to revert back to German institutions. Another group might

:25:06. > :25:11.consist of works which were sold under duress, whereby Jews were

:25:12. > :25:15.forced to sell their assets because they have lost their homes and their

:25:16. > :25:21.jobs. They had nothing left and had to sell what they could to gather

:25:22. > :25:27.cash to get out of Germany. That is the second group. The third group,

:25:28. > :25:31.is a group of works which would have been acquired as a result of the

:25:32. > :25:38.German occupation of Western Europe and other countries. In terms of

:25:39. > :25:42.Gurlitt and his uncle, they were especially active in France, Belgium
