:00:09. > :00:16.00 This is BBC World News Today. Iran gets a boost from an Arab
:00:17. > :00:24.neighbour in the gulf, just a day after an interim deal is signed
:00:25. > :00:27.between and world powers. The Tom of Sheikh Mohammed Bin
:00:28. > :00:30.Rashid Al Maktoum says it underscores the need for diplomacy
:00:31. > :00:36.with Iran and says doesn't believe they are building a nuclear bomb. We
:00:37. > :00:40.have an exclusive interview where he says sanctions against Iran should
:00:41. > :00:44.be lifted. Nuclear is a threat for me, if but if they are not, should
:00:45. > :00:54.we lift it slowly and firmly. Peace at last for Jasmine Shariff, but his
:00:55. > :00:58.legacy is still alive -- Ariel Sharon, he's buried.
:00:59. > :01:03.France's First Lady is suffering from a severe case of the blues,
:01:04. > :01:07.after revelations of President Hollande's affair. She may be there
:01:08. > :01:11.for some days to come. Want to know the secret to happy
:01:12. > :01:32.marriage, one answer is don't have children. We talk to the coauthor of
:01:33. > :01:40.a new report of how couples can make love last.
:01:41. > :01:44.The ruler of Dubai, one of the seven emirates that make up the UAE has
:01:45. > :01:49.made comments in an exclusive interview with the BBC, coming day
:01:50. > :01:53.after Iran signed an interim agreement with the permanent members
:01:54. > :01:58.of the Security Council and Germany, known as the P five plus one. The
:01:59. > :02:02.deal which lasts six months, takes effect on the 20th of January. It
:02:03. > :02:07.means Iran will have to implement significant constraints on its
:02:08. > :02:11.nuclear programme and allow inspectors daily access to its
:02:12. > :02:16.enrichment facilities. In return Tehran will receive more than $4
:02:17. > :02:22.billion in cash from frozen assets and the relaxation of a limited
:02:23. > :02:29.number of sanctions. The Iranian Foreign Minister spoke to the BBC
:02:30. > :02:36.about the deal. I believe that the agreement that we reached in Geneva
:02:37. > :02:46.is the beginning of a long and difficult road in order to address
:02:47. > :02:58.this issue and in the process create a bit of confidence, particularly in
:02:59. > :03:02.Iran because there is a very serious issue with the west in Iran, our
:03:03. > :03:11.people believe our peaceful nuclear programme has been dealt with in a
:03:12. > :03:14.totally unfounded way. That was Iran's Foreign Minister. Well one
:03:15. > :03:19.regional voice, backing the lifting of sanctions against Iran, as we
:03:20. > :03:25.said, is the ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum. He
:03:26. > :03:30.rarely gives interviews, but with Dubai hosting Expo 2020, and signs
:03:31. > :03:34.its economy is rebounding strongly after the global financial crisis he
:03:35. > :03:37.spoke exclusively to my colleague. Very nice to meet you, thank you
:03:38. > :03:41.very much indeed for seeing us. Welcome to Dubai. This is Dubai as
:03:42. > :03:46.you probably don't imagine it, but it is where it all started. Because
:03:47. > :03:53.this is where Sheikh Mohammed was born and grew up. No electricity in
:03:54. > :03:59.the city when I was born, only this lamp things. And no water. We then
:04:00. > :04:03.went inside and he showed me the family album. This is also my
:04:04. > :04:08.grandfather. And that's my grandfather.
:04:09. > :04:13.And this is Dubai as you probably do know it. Brash, bright, big. Sheikh
:04:14. > :04:18.Mohammed drove me himself out of the city to his desert hideaway, where
:04:19. > :04:22.he spoke about the state of the world. Progress has been made in the
:04:23. > :04:26.talks about giving access to Iran's nuclear facilities. Do you believe
:04:27. > :04:36.the time is now right to lift sanctions against Iran? I think so,
:04:37. > :04:42.to give Iran space, you know, really if Iran is our neighbour and we
:04:43. > :04:47.don't want any problems and they don't have any problems, but if the
:04:48. > :04:51.peace, you know, and the agreement with the Americans and the Americans
:04:52. > :04:56.agree and lift the sanctions, everybody will benefit. With Ariel
:04:57. > :04:59.Sharon being buried today, he looked forward to the benefits of a peace
:05:00. > :05:02.deal between Israelis and Palestinians and what it would
:05:03. > :05:08.bring. After the peace process we will do everything with Israel, we
:05:09. > :05:12.will trade with them and we will welcome them and everything. But
:05:13. > :05:19.sign the peace process. Shakespeare mum is proud of his Bedouin roots
:05:20. > :05:24.and he loves these hunting birds. He has an eye on keeping Dubai as an
:05:25. > :05:28.economic powerhouse, after its flirtation with danger during the
:05:29. > :05:32.economic downturn. As we reported earlier the Iranian
:05:33. > :05:38.Foreign Minister was speaking at a press conference in Beirut, our
:05:39. > :05:41.correspondent was there. You actually put a question to the
:05:42. > :05:45.Foreign Minister. He's very, very keen on the back of this interim
:05:46. > :05:50.deal signed at the weekend to ensure those sanctions are lifted. No doubt
:05:51. > :05:54.he would welcome strongly those comments from Sheikh Mohammed? I
:05:55. > :06:00.think he would. In fact he has been to Dubai and he has quite a good
:06:01. > :06:07.relationship there, knows the people in Dubai especially are just waiting
:06:08. > :06:10.for the starting signal to go to resume trading on a big scale. They
:06:11. > :06:14.have a huge interest. There are many Iranians living in Dubai or people
:06:15. > :06:19.of Iranian stock, there is a huge amount of traffic normally between
:06:20. > :06:23.Dubai and especially the offshore duty-free islands on the Iranian
:06:24. > :06:31.side of the gulf. So I mean there is a huge interest there in having this
:06:32. > :06:34.abnormal situation lifted. So Sheikh Mohammed was absolutely clear that
:06:35. > :06:43.he would very much like to see it lifted and it is a kind of rather
:06:44. > :06:47.ano mam Luis situation, where -- anomolus situation. Although the
:06:48. > :06:53.Gulf states act as one, they have very different agendas, Dubai would
:06:54. > :06:58.like to move very swiftly on restoring proper relations with
:06:59. > :07:03.Iran, the Saudis and perhaps others like Qatar, who are much more
:07:04. > :07:07.dedicated to the downfall of Bashar Al-Assad in Syria, of course Iran is
:07:08. > :07:11.very much involved with him. They have got quite a different kind of
:07:12. > :07:17.song sheet that they are singing from. So the difference is, at the
:07:18. > :07:21.end of the day, they kind of pull together but they have distinctly
:07:22. > :07:27.different orientations. Precisely because of that do you suppose there
:07:28. > :07:31.might be any fall-out for Sheikh Mohammed, given the comments are
:07:32. > :07:35.being seized on now? I doubt it very much, I don't think we are going to
:07:36. > :07:38.see Saudi tanks rumbling into Dubai or anything like that. I think these
:07:39. > :07:45.things are sorted out behind closed doors. Because the nuclear agreement
:07:46. > :07:48.seems to be well under way, it is supposed to start actual
:07:49. > :07:53.implementation a week from now and then various tranches of money or
:07:54. > :07:59.frozen funds will be released to Iran, amounting eventually to
:08:00. > :08:03.billions. That process is under way. In a sense he is leading the way,
:08:04. > :08:08.but the Saudis aren't that far behind. I suspect in the coming
:08:09. > :08:22.weeks and months we may see a bit of a thaw between Tehran and Riyadh,
:08:23. > :08:24.the Saudi capital. The former Israeli Prime Minister, Ariel
:08:25. > :08:28.Sharon, was finally laid to rest today, he died on Saturday after
:08:29. > :08:36.being in a coma for eight years. Israeli and world figures paid
:08:37. > :08:45.tribute to Mr Sharon at a memorial service. He was a towering presence
:08:46. > :08:59.on the political stage, but derided by Arabs as much. With prayers and
:09:00. > :09:03.tributes outside parliament, Israel and its friends said a final
:09:04. > :09:09.farewell to Ariel Sharon, eight years to the month after a stroke
:09:10. > :09:14.removed him from power. Binyamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister, said
:09:15. > :09:18.Sharon would go down in history as one of Israel's greatest military
:09:19. > :09:25.leaders, who restored a lost legacy of Jewish bravery. To Ariel Sharon's
:09:26. > :09:32.sons and grandchildren, Joe Biden, the US Vice President said Sharon's
:09:33. > :09:35.passing felt like a death in the family to many Americans, even
:09:36. > :09:38.though at times he had profound differences with American leaders.
:09:39. > :09:42.From my observations he was a complex man, but to understand him
:09:43. > :09:48.better I think it is important that history will judge, he also lived in
:09:49. > :09:54.complex times. In a very complex neighbourhood. The coffin was taken
:09:55. > :09:59.away to be buried at the Sharon family farm in southern Israel.
:10:00. > :10:03.Ariel Sharon is as controversial in death as he was in life, for many
:10:04. > :10:08.Israelis it was his military qualities, his strength and his
:10:09. > :10:15.capacity for ruthlessness which made him a desirable Prime Minister at
:10:16. > :10:19.the time that he was elected. Ariel Sharon owned a house in the old city
:10:20. > :10:23.of Jerusalem, where most residents are Palestinians. For many years he
:10:24. > :10:27.led the drive to settle Jews in the Occupied Territories. Jewish
:10:28. > :10:34.settlers who live here in the Muslim quarter have armed security guards.
:10:35. > :10:37.This man, a prominent Palestinian who believes in nonviolent
:10:38. > :10:41.resistance to Israel, said Israelis should move on from Sharon's legacy
:10:42. > :10:44.He thought he could deal with Palestinians and Arabs and the rest
:10:45. > :10:49.of the world only through force. What Israel needs is a different
:10:50. > :10:53.kind of political generation. People who understand that they themselves
:10:54. > :10:56.will not be free as Israel is from the system of apartheid and
:10:57. > :11:04.occupation unless we the Palestinians are free. As a soldier,
:11:05. > :11:08.Ariel Sharon ignored orders if he thought his plan was more effective.
:11:09. > :11:12.Often it was. Many Palestinians and some human rights campaigners think
:11:13. > :11:18.he should have been put on trial as a war criminal. But he goes to his
:11:19. > :11:33.grave mourned by Israelis who felt safer when he was around. The
:11:34. > :11:37.tangled love life of the French President, Francois Hollande, likely
:11:38. > :11:42.to overshadow his press conference in Paris tomorrow. France's First
:11:43. > :11:46.Lady, Valerie Trierweiler, is expected to stay in hospital for the
:11:47. > :11:48.next few days. She was admitted last Friday after a magazine printed
:11:49. > :11:55.claims that President Hollande has been having an affair with an
:11:56. > :11:59.actress. We have more on the story. The night of the presidential
:12:00. > :12:02.election, centre stage Mr Hollande's girlfriend, his partner of seven
:12:03. > :12:06.years, Valerie Trierweiler. A journalist with a keen eye for
:12:07. > :12:11.politics and one who had played such a significant role in his campaign.
:12:12. > :12:15.And yet, she's always been kept in the background, even the kiss on the
:12:16. > :12:19.night was an awkward one, but of late it has been all too apparent
:12:20. > :12:24.the distance between them has been growing. On Friday, the First Lady
:12:25. > :12:29.was admitted to hospital with a severe case of the blue, said her
:12:30. > :12:33.staff. She's in need of rest and may be discharged later today, they
:12:34. > :12:36.added, before deciding what to do next. It is a mark of the cultural
:12:37. > :12:41.difference between Britain and France that even today the French
:12:42. > :12:48.media is teetering around the issue of Mr Hollande's private life. Even
:12:49. > :12:51.the right-wing Le Figaro talks about his big speech tomorrow and problems
:12:52. > :12:57.in the French economy. Make no mistake it is the silence of the
:12:58. > :13:04.Elysee Palace on these issues that overshadows the main agenda. Even
:13:05. > :13:08.the British media think there are issues. She writes for the Paris
:13:09. > :13:15.Match, she's described as the First Lady, and she has been office at the
:13:16. > :13:19.Elysee Palace. The French thinking about the ambiguous role that she
:13:20. > :13:24.has makes it of relevance. This President always has problems
:13:25. > :13:32.asserting his authority, not helped by pictures of a crash helmeted Mr
:13:33. > :13:41.Hollande sneaking out of a lover's apartment. Now some of the day's
:13:42. > :13:44.other news in brief, the interim President of the Central African
:13:45. > :13:47.Republic, gripped by sectarian violence, has declared that the
:13:48. > :13:52.period of anarchy in the country has ended. Hundreds of deserters from
:13:53. > :14:00.the army have been reenlisting and policemen are once again on patrol.
:14:01. > :14:12.Real Madrid and footballer Ronaldo has won the balancer for -- Ballon
:14:13. > :14:18.d'Or again. He saw off all the competition. This
:14:19. > :14:22.week Egyptians will vote in a referendum on a new constitution,
:14:23. > :14:26.the previous one, brought in under the Islamist Government a couple of
:14:27. > :14:33.years ago was nullified. It is the first test at the poll force the
:14:34. > :14:42.interim Government after the removal of the Muslim Brotherhood President
:14:43. > :14:51.last July . A slick production, with a stirring beat. This army video is
:14:52. > :14:55.drumming up support for the constitution. The military is used
:14:56. > :15:10.to calling the tune here, and it wants a resounding yes vote. It is a
:15:11. > :15:14.one-sided campaign. Plenty of yes posters and no sign of a no, people
:15:15. > :15:19.have been arrested for putting them up. The veteran diplomat cheered the
:15:20. > :15:27.committee that drafted the constitution. He said the current
:15:28. > :15:30.chaos imposed some limitations. I must We have everything in the
:15:31. > :15:37.constitution to preserve and promote democracy. But there are articles,
:15:38. > :15:43.and situations that need to be dealt with, bearing in mind the security
:15:44. > :15:49.of the state and the security of the people of the country. On the
:15:50. > :15:53.streets a hard sell about the benefits for the people. The
:15:54. > :15:57.authorities say they will get more rights and more freedom, but they
:15:58. > :16:08.can still be tried in military courts. This woman has more
:16:09. > :16:14.immediate concerns, like survival. "Shall I feed my children from the
:16:15. > :16:17.rubbish bin? " She asks. There is plenty of heated discussion going on
:16:18. > :16:22.here, this referendum is about more than adopting a new constitution.
:16:23. > :16:28.When Egyptians go to vote on the document, it will be the first time
:16:29. > :16:32.they have been to the polls since Morsi was ousted last July. For many
:16:33. > :16:50.this vote will also be seen as a referendum on a coup. For this woman
:16:51. > :16:54.the vote is all but irrelevant The. She recalls the revolution which
:16:55. > :17:00.seemed like a new beginning. But now Egypt has returned to the old
:17:01. > :17:04.handbook. Why go into a whole process of deciding on a
:17:05. > :17:07.constitution when actually the institution of the law itself is
:17:08. > :17:16.being eroded. The only thing that this constitution does is that it
:17:17. > :17:20.legitimises the very powerful and unquestioned position of the army in
:17:21. > :17:25.Egypt today. Liberals aren't the only ones unhappy with the
:17:26. > :17:29.constitution. There are calls for a boycott by the Muslim Brotherhood
:17:30. > :17:34.and its supporters. It is now classed as a terrorist group.
:17:35. > :17:38.Brotherhood protests continue, and the referendum may not deliver the
:17:39. > :17:49.stability the authorities are promising.
:17:50. > :18:00.Britain is getting fatter. Half the British population will be obese by
:18:01. > :18:02.2050 the figures estimate, but could be underestimating. Unless there is
:18:03. > :18:07.a significant change in habits the number of people classed as obese
:18:08. > :18:14.will continue to rise. Our health correspondent reports. 27 years old
:18:15. > :18:21.and 27 stone, Katie has battled weight problems ever since she was a
:18:22. > :18:24.child. She has tried diets and wait weight loss clubs but still
:18:25. > :18:29.struggle, she feels it is a fight she has to do on her own. I have to
:18:30. > :18:35.do it myself, if I don't help myself I will end up dying or have serious
:18:36. > :18:39.health concerns. Obesity increases the risk of conditions like
:18:40. > :18:43.diabetes, heart disease and stroke. The numbers seem to have plateaued
:18:44. > :18:47.in recent years but millions are struggling with their weight. We are
:18:48. > :18:52.in daily touch with clinicians around the country who aring
:18:53. > :18:57.disastrous levels of admissions into hospitals and clinics, not just for
:18:58. > :19:04.obesity by itself, but some of the conditions enbeginedered by obesity.
:19:05. > :19:08.It is thought 26% of adults are thought to be obese. Previous
:19:09. > :19:12.reports thought up to half the population could be obese, this is
:19:13. > :19:18.an estimate. The National Obesity Forum argues that figure could be
:19:19. > :19:21.opt minx. Today's report says unless there is concerted action from
:19:22. > :19:25.individuals, businesses and society and Government, we will be lucky if
:19:26. > :19:34.only half the population are obese by 2050. It goes on to add while
:19:35. > :19:38.there are no quick fixes there are things that could be done. For two
:19:39. > :19:42.years Gloria has been visiting her local GP surgery to help her manage
:19:43. > :19:47.they are weight. And family doctors are well placed to provide advice
:19:48. > :19:51.and support. We see our patients all the time arcs pregnant ladies, our
:19:52. > :19:54.children, I think in our conversations we should be
:19:55. > :20:00.encouraging patients to go down the healthy lifestyle. Recent figures
:20:01. > :20:03.suggest the number of overweight and obese primary school children in
:20:04. > :20:07.England fell for the first time in six years. Grounds for hope then.
:20:08. > :20:18.But the UK still faces a sizeable weight problem. Let's go to
:20:19. > :20:22.Tinseltown were the 71st Golden Globes have finished. The Best

:20:31. > :20:34.Supposing, potting and playing to the crowd. It is the first major
:20:35. > :20:40.awards show of the year and the biggest names in the business were
:20:41. > :20:44.out in force. It was overlooked in several categories but Twelve Years
:20:45. > :20:49.A Slave won the night's top award. It took the film's British director
:20:50. > :20:57.Steve McQueen by surprise. Little bit in shock! What can I say.
:20:58. > :21:03.Firstly I would like to thank the whole of the foreign press. I would
:21:04. > :21:07.like to thank my wife, Bianca, for finding the book, Twelve Years A
:21:08. > :21:10.Slave, thank you darling. The space shuttle disaster film, Gravity, made
:21:11. > :21:17.in the UK, had four nominations but it won in only one category, for
:21:18. > :21:22.Best Director. A Mexican director. This is for the hundreds of people
:21:23. > :21:25.that made the film possible. Because of my thick accent they ended up
:21:26. > :21:32.doing what they thought I said not what I really said. Sandra I'm going
:21:33. > :21:38.to give you herpes, when I really meant was to say "Sandra I'm going
:21:39. > :21:43.to give you an ear piece". American Hustle won three awards for Best
:21:44. > :21:46.Comedy and two of its stars Amy Adams and Jennifer Lawrence. Other
:21:47. > :21:53.winners were Matthew McConaughey for Dallas Buyers Club, and Leonardo di
:21:54. > :21:57.Caproi, named Best Actor for The Wolf of Wall Street. Martin
:21:58. > :22:02.Scorsese's tale of greed, strangely listed in the category for comedy. I
:22:03. > :22:09.never would have thought I would have won for Best Actor in a Comedy.
:22:10. > :22:14.Congratulations my fellow comedians, Christian Bale! It was a night when
:22:15. > :22:18.no movie swept the board, and the acceptance speeches went on and on.
:22:19. > :22:21.I just wondered can people at home hear this music or do they suddenly
:22:22. > :22:27.think you are getting really fast because you are having a panic
:22:28. > :22:29.attack, which I'm probably having. Most critics have thought the
:22:30. > :22:34.standard of films is higher than ever, it means it is still all to
:22:35. > :22:42.play for at Hollywood's most prestigious awards, the Oscar
:22:43. > :22:47.nominations are out on Thursday. Now what is the secret to happy
:22:48. > :22:51.marriage? According to a new study the answer, partly at least, is not
:22:52. > :22:59.to have children. Researchers from the Open University here say those
:23:00. > :23:03.without children have happier marriages than those who do. Nearly
:23:04. > :23:11.5,000 people were interviewed for the study called Enduring Love. We
:23:12. > :23:16.will give awe you a quick crash course from one of the co-authors of
:23:17. > :23:19.the research. I know we like the glittering headlines of couples
:23:20. > :23:23.without children being happier, it is partly true but not entirely? It
:23:24. > :23:27.is not entirely true. Couples without children were reporting they
:23:28. > :23:30.were happier in some ways. But in terms of relationship maintenance
:23:31. > :23:34.that may be true, but in terms of the quality of life and the things
:23:35. > :23:38.that they were feeling happy about more generally that isn't the case.
:23:39. > :23:42.The group that were reporting feeling the most relationship
:23:43. > :23:50.don'tment might be childless couples, but the ones -- don'tment
:23:51. > :23:54.might be childless couple, but the ones reporting most happiness is
:23:55. > :23:58.women with children. So woman who don't have children are not as happy
:23:59. > :24:02.as those who do have children? It is interesting, what fathers were
:24:03. > :24:05.saying is they are happy with their relationships and lives, what
:24:06. > :24:09.mothers seem to be saying is their children were giving them something
:24:10. > :24:11.more that was bringing them an individual sense of their worth or
:24:12. > :24:15.satisfaction with their life and relationship more generally. It
:24:16. > :24:19.certainly seems like for women, having a child is meaningful in a
:24:20. > :24:23.different way. And women who have children are they happier than men
:24:24. > :24:27.also who have children? We didn't really, looking at happiness in that
:24:28. > :24:30.way, it wasn't a happiness and well being study, it was more about the
:24:31. > :24:35.processes and practices of being in a relationship. We focussed more on
:24:36. > :24:39.relationship maintenance. You said relationship maintenance was easier,
:24:40. > :24:42.that is obvious, if you don't have children around, does it simply come
:24:43. > :24:45.that you have more time for each other or is it that children
:24:46. > :24:49.actually themselves by their presence create some difficulties in
:24:50. > :24:54.a relationship? The qualitative data, because we also interviewed 50
:24:55. > :24:57.couples as well, what was that was showing is there is definitely less
:24:58. > :25:01.time, but it also might be that we are not very good at recognising
:25:02. > :25:05.what couples are doing, which is helping a relationship to work. The
:25:06. > :25:08.relationship work, if you want to call it, that couples might be
:25:09. > :25:12.doing, might be small gestures for each other, it might be sitting and
:25:13. > :25:16.watching a TV together. We might think of that as a passive activity.
:25:17. > :25:20.Our couples were saying that is positive and affirming for their
:25:21. > :25:23.relationship. It is doing something together and investing in a TV
:25:24. > :25:28.narrative together. They have done it for 20 years watching this
:25:29. > :25:35.programme, it is meaningful to them, the same as doing activities, it
:25:36. > :25:39.might be that those with childr weren't reporting in the same way.
:25:40. > :25:42.They might not be doing as many things but it doesn't mean their
:25:43. > :25:46.quality of relationship was poorer. This was a UK study, but you have a
:25:47. > :25:51.bit of an idea about how couples operate outside the UK too? The
:25:52. > :25:55.survey itself was on-line, it was predominantly UK, but we had 1,000
:25:56. > :25:58.or so people take part from outside the UK. But it might be some of the
:25:59. > :26:02.things that are mentioned are peculiarly British, like the cup of
:26:03. > :26:06.tea, that doesn't necessarily translate to other cultural context,
:26:07. > :26:10.there may be something in those contexts that might be specific,
:26:11. > :26:17.something in the context of America or different countries which, is the
:26:18. > :26:20.symbol in the UK. When it comes to relationship management it is a
:26:21. > :26:24.challenge for me, I have four children Jackie. There you go. Thank
:26:25. > :26:27.you very much for taking us through your study. Now let's remind you of
:26:28. > :26:31.the main news. The path of diplomacy with Iran over its nuclear programme
:26:32. > :26:34.has been boosted by Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the ruler of
:26:35. > :26:39.Dubai, one of the seven emirates that make up the UAE, his commends
:26:40. > :26:43.in an exclusive interview with the BBC came a day after Iran signed an
:26:44. > :26:46.interim agreement with the permanent members of the Security Council in
:26:47. > :26:50.Germany. That's all from the programme, next the weather. Goodbye
:26:51. > :27:02.from me and the team. Good evening, quite a bit of
:27:03. > :27:03.sunshine across the British Isles today, a bit more tomorrow. But
