This is BBC World News Today with me, Kasia Madera. Stand up in Kiev | :00:07. | :00:13. | |
as police moved in to dismantle some protest camps in the Ukrainian | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
capital. These are live pictures from Independence Square, where | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
pro-EU demonstrators are still staging rallies. Authorities have | :00:23. | :00:28. | |
given them until Tuesday to leave. No end to anti-government protest in | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
Thailand, despite the Prime Minister dissolving parliament and calling a | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
fresh election. Also coming up, remembering Mandela, | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
last-minute preparations for tomorrow's memorial service as his | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
daughter speaks exclusively to the BBC about the last hours before he | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
died. He said to me, everybody that is | :00:47. | :00:53. | |
here that wants to see him to say bye-bye, it was a most wonderful day | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
for us, because the grandchildren were there, we were there. And end | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
of the line for a motoring icon, why of the line for a motoring icon why | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
Volkswagen is pulling production of its humble Kombi. | :01:07. | :01:22. | |
Hello and welcome to the programme. We begin with fast-moving | :01:23. | :01:28. | |
developments out of Ukraine. Within the past couple of hours, police | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
have dismantled some protest barricades in Independence Square in | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
the capital, Kiev, and entered the headquarters of an opposition party. | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
But there are still thousands of protesters in the square. Let's take | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
a look at some of the images live, hopefully, from Independence Square, | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
we can see those protest camps and some discrepancies between whether, | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
which opposition parties and whether they have actually had their | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
headquarters entered in by the police. But we can discuss this much | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
further, because there is a background story to this, as you can | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
imagine. With me is Olexiy Solohubenko, former head of the BBC | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
Ukrainian service, now global news editor for BBC language services. | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
The situation is tense in Kiev, just remind us why it has come to this. | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
It started after the President of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych, decided | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
not to sign the association agreement with the European Union, | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
which was a very big thing for Ukraine. Instead, he decided to side | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
with Russia and to discuss the tripartite arrangement which did not | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
come to anything until now. Last Saturday, there was a very brutal | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
attack on a peaceful rally in Independence Square in Kiev by | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
police. That sparked new rallies. I think the rally over the weekend saw | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
100,000 people, they are demanding not just the wrap Rushmore or | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
joining with the European Union and assigning the agreement, but the | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
protest has evolved into demands for the president to go, for the Cabinet | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
of ministers to go, for the police to be punished for brutality, and | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
neither side, nor the government, the president or the opposition | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
protesters, have any common ground now. There is no dialogue, there are | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
mutual threats, and the stand-off is very tense. So it has moved on from | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
that trade agreement, which even Angela Merkel said the door was | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
still open for Ukraine. When we look at these images now, we know the | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
police have given them a deadline of Tuesday to decamp. Is that going to | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
happen? I think Ukraine is a country of deadlines which are very rarely | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
kept, so I do not think that the protesters will just pack up and go. | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
They are very determined to stay, to protest, to carry on with this. I | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
think the deadlock can be, well there could be a breakthrough | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
tomorrow if Western mediators are put in there. If they are putting | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
their weight behind the negotiations, Baroness Ashton is | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
coming to Kiev, and also I think the under Secretary of State is coming | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
from the United States, so this is not the first time that Ukraine | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
needs external mediation. The same thing happened during the Orange | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
Revolution in 2004, and hopefully this time that will be the route | :04:17. | :04:23. | |
that will resolve the stand-off. Let's talk to Steve Rosenberg, who | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
was live in Kiev, Steve, you are overlooking Independence Square, | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
discrepancies about which opposition headquarters or camps were attacked, | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
can you bring us up with the latest? It has been very fast-moving up | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
until now. That is right. As you can see, the situation behind me on | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
Independence Square is pretty calm, there is a pop concert going on, | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
political speech is being made, no sign of any police here, and the | :04:52. | :04:59. | |
tented encampment remains. It is a slightly different situation in the | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
government district, not far away from here, but there the police are | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
on the streets today, far more police than we saw yesterday in the | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
centre of Kiev. And those police have gradually been moving | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
protesters away from government buildings, the main government | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
buildings in Kiev. We went down to the government district earlier | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
today, we saw several hundred police lined up in rows, surrounding a | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
small tented encampment there. One of the tents was destroyed, not by | :05:32. | :05:38. | |
police. But the situation where we were was pretty calm, but there was | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
pushing and shoving around the government buildings as riot police | :05:43. | :05:49. | |
moved back, pushed back protesters. But here on Independence Square at | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
the moment, it is calm. Steve Rosenberg, live overlooking | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
Independence Square, thank you very much. As Steve and our guest was | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
saying, police have given a deadline of Tuesday, we will watch to see | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
what happens. Some of the other news, and in | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
Thailand anti-government protests are continuing there, too. Even | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
after Yingluck Shinawatra dissolved parliament, she said an election for | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
February, but that did not satisfy the demonstrators, who surrounded | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
her offices at Government House. Protest leaders are demanding the | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
democratic system be changed and the removal of the entire Shinawatra | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
family from Thailand. Jonathan Head got a bird's eye view of the | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
rallies. Shuts down once again by mass | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
protests. They want a government they accused of corruption and | :06:42. | :06:43. | |
abusing its parliamentary majority to go. But the sudden offer of an | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
election have softened the mood. to go. But the sudden offer of an | :06:49. | :06:49. | |
election have softened the mood A show of strength was more like a | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
giant street party. Leaders of this protest movement called for an | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
impressive turnout, and from PA you can see they have achieved that | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
goal. Streets around the capital are filled with people, and it has | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
certainly made an impression on the government. What you do not see are | :07:09. | :07:09. | |
the government's own supporters and the government's own supporters, and | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
you have to ask whether they have enough people to be able to beat the | :07:14. | :07:21. | |
government in an election. The fact is that in rural areas the | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
government is still very popular, so some confusion among these | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
protesters. Was an election a big enough concession? If it was me, | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
protesters. Was an election a big enough concession? If it was me I | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
would accept that. Even if this government wins another election, | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
which they might do? For me, yes, but I am not sure about a lot of | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
people. Even the main opposition party, whose MPs have now joined | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
these rallies, seemed unclear. Its leader has been demanding an | :07:53. | :07:54. | |
election for days but was suddenly unsure whether he would even contest | :07:55. | :07:56. | |
it. So an announcement that should have | :07:57. | :08:08. | |
cleared the air has cleared up knocking. -- nothing. An election | :08:09. | :08:15. | |
will be held in less than two months. How it will go, whether its | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
results will be respected is anyone's guess. | :08:21. | :08:27. | |
In Russia, President Vladimir Putin has abolished Ria Novosti, the | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
country's major state-owned news agency. In a surprise decree | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
published on the Kremlin website, he announced that it would be scrapped | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
and replaced by a news agency called Russia Today. The new agency will be | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
headed by a keen Kremlin supporter, Dmitry Kiselev. A spokesman for the | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
Kremlin said that Ria Novosti was being restructured in order to make | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
it more economical. IMac now, one of the men accused of murdering | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
Fusilier really be has been describing how he chose his victim | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
and then killed him. Michael Adebolajo, a Muslim convert, told | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
the Old Bailey that he was a soldier of Allah and blamed the death of UK | :09:09. | :09:14. | |
foreign policy. June Kelly was in court. The report contains | :09:15. | :09:22. | |
distressing details. The start of the defence case today, | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
the men in the dark are accused of the murder of Lee Rigby, as well as | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
charges of conspiring to murder and attempting to murder a police | :09:32. | :09:33. | |
officer. They pleaded not guilty to everything. Michael Adebowale and | :09:34. | :09:39. | |
Michael Adebolajo have said they want to be referred to by their | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
Muslim names. In the witness box surrounded by security guards, one | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
cordons of Mujahid Abu Hamza and laid out his political and religious | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
beliefs. He told the jury, Al-Qaeda I considered to be mujahedin, I love | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
them, they are my brothers, I have never met them, I consider that my | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
brothers in Islam. He described how he had been brought up as a | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
Christian and had converted to Islam when he was at university. He took | :10:07. | :10:13. | |
part in demonstrations, he was angry at British foreign policy. Today he | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
spoke of a war in Iraq and said it was the treatment of Muslims which | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
led him to kill. On the events in Woolwich, he admitted attempting to | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
decapitate Lee Rigby. He said that, as a soldier, he had an obligation | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
to fight, despite having a wife and six children. His youngest child was | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
just four days old when he took the soldier's life. He said it was Allah | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
who had ordered him to kill Lee Rigby. They were looking for a | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
soldier, and they went for Lee Rigby because he was carrying a military | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
rucksack. He told the court, I am a soldier of Allah, and I understand | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
that some people might not recognise this because we do not wear fatigues | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
and do not go to the Brecon Beacons to drain. But we are still soldiers | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
in the sight of Allah. This was Michael Adebolajo running | :11:05. | :11:07. | |
towards firearms officers armed with a meat cleaver. Police shot him. | :11:08. | :11:09. | |
a meat cleaver. Police shot him Today he said he had wanted to die. | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
Lee Rigby's sister, being comforted by her mother, as the family left | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
court this evening after sitting through the testimony. He has now | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
completed his evidence and the rest of the defence case is due to be | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
heard tomorrow. June Kelly reporting. Nelson | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
Mandela's eldest daughter has described as wonderful the final | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
hours that she and her family spent with the father before he died. She | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
spoke to, two more as preparations were made for the memorial service | :11:43. | :11:51. | |
in Soweto. -- Komla Dumor. We explained to him that people were | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
outside the hospital, singing, putting cards and flowers. I do | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
believe you heard, you know, because I do not know what they were saying | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
with the doctors, saying he had opened his eyes, I think. And I | :12:07. | :12:15. | |
don't know what somebody was saying to me, and I said, well, I believe | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
he still hears me, you know, when I speak to him, because I would | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
everyday say to him, you know, even if all of us, you know, this year or | :12:27. | :12:40. | |
kissed the cheek, everyday for, I don't know, the past so many months, | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
I love you, I am coming to see you tomorrow, you know? And then maybe | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
he would open his eyes for just a second and close those guys. So for | :12:52. | :12:59. | |
me, I think that until the last moment he heard us, you know. And | :13:00. | :13:06. | |
you know, the children were there, the grandchildren were there, you | :13:07. | :13:12. | |
know, Graca Machel was there, so we were always around him. And at the | :13:13. | :13:18. | |
last moment we were sitting with him on Thursday the whole day. It was | :13:19. | :13:25. | |
the most wonderful day for us, because the grandchildren were | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
there, we were there, the professional doctors, and I think | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
when they saw him slipping away those doctors dedicated their time. | :13:34. | :13:41. | |
They were running shifts 24 hours, being there, it was like they were | :13:42. | :13:48. | |
soldiers guarding this... I don t soldiers guarding this... I don't | :13:49. | :13:51. | |
know whether you understand this simile, soldiers guarding his | :13:52. | :14:02. | |
spirit. Without them knowing that they were practising our rituals and | :14:03. | :14:09. | |
culture, and as we family members came in, they would excuse | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
themselves and just a few of them would be there to give us the time | :14:13. | :14:19. | |
to be around my dad's bed. And so even for the grandchildren, I think | :14:20. | :14:30. | |
it was a wonderful moment. I don't think my father fought just for | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
political freedom. He also fought for spiritual freedom, to free | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
yourself spiritually. He talks about the fact that it takes courage to | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
forgive, forgiveness is a very difficult thing. I don't think he | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
woke up one day and said, I forgive those who incarcerated me. But I | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
think he knew that if he didn't forgive, he would be for ever | :14:52. | :14:58. | |
imprisoned himself spiritually. And if you are not free, you cannot be | :14:59. | :15:07. | |
free definitely here. And so for me, the lesson is to have... The lesson | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
we can take away from his life is to have the courage to forgive other | :15:12. | :15:18. | |
people. Your own husband, if you are married, your own children, your own | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
neighbours, your own community, because if we have the courage to | :15:23. | :15:25. | |
forgive as human beings, there will be no wars around us. There will be | :15:26. | :15:32. | |
no crime, there will be no conflict, OK? And for me, that is the greatest | :15:33. | :15:39. | |
gift that he has given to the world. Because he also says none of us, | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
Because he also says none of us when we are born, are born hating | :15:44. | :15:52. | |
another. We are taught to hate. If you can teach a human being to hate, | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
you can also teach a human being to love, to embrace, to forgive. And | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
for me, that is the greatest lesson. Archbishop Desmond Tutu has given a | :16:01. | :16:13. | |
tribute at a service in Johannesburg. | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
He emerged from that crucible of suffering, and being dehumanised, | :16:20. | :16:36. | |
breaking rocks. In Post Office backs, working in the quarry. You | :16:37. | :16:46. | |
know what it did to his eyesight and to his lungs. Yes. But he said, I | :16:47. | :17:01. | |
have been consumed by hate, and a lust for revenge. He is SO what for | :17:02. | :17:15. | |
reconciliation and forgiveness. An incredibly important person in | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
Nelson Mandela's life. We have an order of service for the special | :17:21. | :17:22. | |
memorial service that will be taking place on Tuesday. Much more details | :17:23. | :17:29. | |
on our website. It has been one month since Typhoon | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
Haiyan devastated much of the central Philippines, link more than | :17:33. | :17:40. | |
five point -- 5500 people. Bodies are still being found survivors | :17:41. | :17:43. | |
clear away the wreckage of homes and that were destroyed. The scale of | :17:44. | :17:48. | |
the destruction means rebuilding will take years. Even though many | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
aid agencies are helping with the relief effort. Tacloban has been the | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
focus for the operation, but there are reports that in moronic areas, | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
people are still struggling to get the help that they need. -- more | :18:02. | :18:08. | |
promote areas. 1 million homes were damaged or destroyed across the | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
country. Close to 5 million people have lost their livelihoods. My | :18:14. | :18:19. | |
colleague has returned to Tacloban, which bore the brunt of the storm. | :18:20. | :18:27. | |
Looking for solace, during a time of mourning. For the people gathered | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
here for a special mass at the parish church, religion has a | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
crucial part of the recovery process, after losing their family | :18:37. | :18:43. | |
members, homes and livelihoods to Typhoon Haiyan last month. I do not | :18:44. | :18:52. | |
know where to go. Only here. During Sunday, there was a mass. It is the | :18:53. | :19:05. | |
only one I have now. During the storm, 250 people hid in the church, | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
hoping for divine protection. They also drive. But nearly 6000 others | :19:12. | :19:18. | |
did not make it, with over 1700 more still missing. For the traumatised | :19:19. | :19:24. | |
community of Tacloban, the church has become their main refuge. This | :19:25. | :19:30. | |
is where many of the remaining residents of Tacloban were gathered | :19:31. | :19:36. | |
and will cover this Christmas. It is most important religious holiday in | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
the Philippines, the biggest Catholic unity in Asia. This year, | :19:40. | :19:43. | |
it is not about exchanging gifts or having big dinners. But for many | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
survivors here, it is all about faith. The city has slowly started | :19:49. | :19:56. | |
to get back on its feet. There is even running water and electricity | :19:57. | :20:01. | |
in some areas. But when night falls, most of the devastated areas look | :20:02. | :20:06. | |
like this. Shrouded in black. Parishioners have tried to lift | :20:07. | :20:08. | |
their spirits by handing parols, or their spirits by handing parols or | :20:09. | :20:14. | |
lanterns. They say it helps give hope in times of darkness. | :20:15. | :20:21. | |
Some of the other news. French troops have begun disarming | :20:22. | :20:23. | |
the leisure groups in the Central African Republic. The operation | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
began with a brief exchange of gunfire between armed men and French | :20:29. | :20:34. | |
soldiers near the airport in the capital. Recent communal fighting | :20:35. | :20:41. | |
has left more than 450 people dead. 1600 troops are patrolling towns and | :20:42. | :20:43. | |
city go check point across the country. | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
The leader of the Muslim brotherhood in Egypt has appeared in court, | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
accused of inciting violence, after the army as did Mohamed Morsi. | :20:53. | :20:55. | |
Mohammed Badie, who was in court with other leading Islamists, denies | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
the charges. Muslim students in Cairo have prompted the police to | :21:01. | :21:08. | |
move onto the campus. Blackburn Rovers has confirmed that | :21:09. | :21:11. | |
shrike DJ Campbell is one of six people arrested by police | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
investigating allegations of match fixing, following a newspaper report | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
in which the former Portsmouth and Nigeria international Sam Sodje | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
claims he could arrange for players to be booked in return for money. | :21:26. | :21:31. | |
Pictures showing North Korea's second most powerful man being | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
forcibly removed from a party meeting have been aired on state TV. | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
Jang Song-taek is the uncle of the leader, Kim Jong-un, and had been | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
given the job of guiding and mentoring the junk leader as he | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
issued the power to designate. -- the young leader. | :21:49. | :21:56. | |
Money, sex and power of the stuff of headlines in North Korea, just like | :21:57. | :22:04. | |
anywhere else, or at the state media put it, corruption, disloyalty and | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
capitalist living. Jang Song-taek, once the most -- the second most | :22:09. | :22:15. | |
powerful man, stripped of his positions and holed from a party | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
meeting, under arrest, the biggest political earthquake since his | :22:20. | :22:26. | |
nephew assumed power. He was Kim Jong-un's Guardian, mental and | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
uncle. Too many, he was the power behind the throne. Perhaps too | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
powerful, or maybe too popular. Few of the elder statesmen who booked | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
the side Kim Jong-il's off have survived two years of his son's | :22:41. | :22:46. | |
rule. The speed and scope of this latest purge is especially | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
startling. Jang Song-taek has already been edited out of official | :22:51. | :22:55. | |
videos, like this documentary, shown on state TV. Whether this signal is | :22:56. | :22:58. | |
personal or political differences, the worry here in South Korea is | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
that Jeong Jang could distract attention with military action. The | :23:04. | :23:07. | |
defence Ministry has already warned its troops to be on high alert. With | :23:08. | :23:14. | |
North Korea's old guard fading, the game of predicting the regime is | :23:15. | :23:19. | |
getting harder. Step-by-step, Kim Jong-un has demonstrated his hold on | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
power. But also, his fear of rivals. If his encore was a threat, but his | :23:25. | :23:33. | |
removal be an even bigger one? It is a vehicle which you can often | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
hear coming before you even see it. I am talking about the Volkswagen | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
Kombi, which has been on the roads since 1950. The vehicle is only | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
built in Brazil, almost to the same specification as it has always been | :23:48. | :23:48. | |
built. But VW will stop making it. If the Volkswagen Kombi ever had the | :23:49. | :24:01. | |
motoring equivalent of sex appeal in its use, that allure has faded with | :24:02. | :24:07. | |
old age. Practically made for the streets and beaches of Brazil, | :24:08. | :24:13. | |
thousands of old vehicles of the modern-day equivalent of the horse | :24:14. | :24:18. | |
and cart. Engines and chassis that should have been retired years ago | :24:19. | :24:21. | |
keeping thousands of small businesses afloat. Without the | :24:22. | :24:27. | |
vehicle, there is no way to work, says this man. That is the best | :24:28. | :24:34. | |
thing for us. 90 beach chairs, 60 on Brothers, sacks of coconuts and a | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
volleyball net. It might not be the slickest thing on the beach, but it | :24:39. | :24:45. | |
is the -- but it is very practical. But it is the end of a line for a | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
car which has been manufactured here for more than half a century. In an | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
increasingly automated industry, for more than half a century. In an | :24:54. | :24:54. | |
increasingly automated industry it is still mainly built by hand. This | :24:55. | :24:58. | |
format icon is beginning to look outdated. It is essentially the same | :24:59. | :25:05. | |
vehicle that was built at this plant in the 1950s. But it no longer meets | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
the safety requirements in Europe and those to be introduced here at | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
the start of next year. 1.5 million units down the line, the Volkswagen | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
Kombi is coming to an end. However much enthusiasts will mourn the | :25:20. | :25:25. | |
passing of it, for Volkswagen, it is a hard-nosed business is Asian. | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
According to the Brazilian deflation, starting in 2014, all | :25:31. | :25:38. | |
cars airbags and ABS. To construct and put these features into that car | :25:39. | :25:44. | |
would be a huge product change. Not to miss an opportunity, the company | :25:45. | :25:50. | |
has built a last edition model. For a few thousand extra dollars, you | :25:51. | :25:53. | |
get paintwork and trim invoking the 1960s. However fond of those distant | :25:54. | :26:01. | |
memories maybe, the Volkswagen Kombi is not the smoothest cottage drive. | :26:02. | :26:08. | |
It feels like a very basic vehicle. That was perhaps always part of the | :26:09. | :26:15. | |
attraction. It will be the end of an era, not | :26:16. | :26:19. | |
seeing one of those are around! The top story. Let's cross over to | :26:20. | :26:27. | |
those live pictures from Ukraine, because security forces have | :26:28. | :26:31. | |
dismantled some barricades and riot police have entered an opposition | :26:32. | :26:34. | |
party headquarters, but the protesters remain in force. Now, the | :26:35. | :26:38. | |
protesters remain in force. Now the vice president of the United States | :26:39. | :26:45. | |
has said that violence has no place in a democratic society, so concern | :26:46. | :26:49. | |
around the world as to those events in the Ukraine. We will keep you | :26:50. | :26:51. | |
updated. | :26:52. | :26:52. |
