:01:44. > :02:04.described In NATO, something has changed in
:02:05. > :02:10.the wake of Russia's continuing threat to eastern Ukraine. There is
:02:11. > :02:15.a new urgency to NATO deliberations. Russia's aggression against Ukraine
:02:16. > :02:24.is the greatest threat to European security in a generation. And it
:02:25. > :02:28.challenges our vision of a Europe free and at peace. This was the
:02:29. > :02:33.first foreign ministers' meeting since the crisis in Ukraine. To
:02:34. > :02:40.reassure jittery nerves, the members of NATO are considering boosting
:02:41. > :02:48.deterrents, carrying out more surveillance exercises and appeared
:02:49. > :02:55.-- possibly opening new military bases. Thousands of National Guard
:02:56. > :02:59.troops in Ukraine are soon to finish training. Even more significant is
:03:00. > :03:03.the approval by Parliament in Kiev to hold joint military exercises
:03:04. > :03:09.with NATO countries. That could put US troops close to Russian forces in
:03:10. > :03:15.Crimea. Meanwhile, Russia is warning Ukraine against any intervention
:03:16. > :03:21.with NATO. Hopes of a de-escalation of the crisis were raised as there
:03:22. > :03:26.was a port of Russian troops pulling back from Ukraine's border but there
:03:27. > :03:30.is scepticism in the West that any withdrawal is under way. I cannot
:03:31. > :03:39.confirm that Russia is withdrawing its troops. This is not what we are
:03:40. > :03:48.seeing. And this massive military build-up can in no way contribute to
:03:49. > :03:53.a de-escalation of the situation. Another hurdle for you NATO members,
:03:54. > :03:56.can they persuade Russia and Ukraine to engage in direct to engineer a
:03:57. > :04:00.diplomatic solution? We can go live now to Brussels,
:04:01. > :04:11.and speak to Jonathan Marcus. Tell us more about the reassessment
:04:12. > :04:18.of military deployments in eastern Europe. We do not have any of the
:04:19. > :04:21.details yet. This is something that NATO's military staff and planners
:04:22. > :04:26.will be looking at, but clearly a number of things will be in the
:04:27. > :04:30.frame. Perhaps enhanced exercises in Eastern and central Europe,
:04:31. > :04:32.countries like the Baltics and Poland who feel most concerned.

:04:58. > :05:03.Putin is going to be annoyed by, to say the least. That is not going to
:05:04. > :05:06.go down well in Moscow. It is not clear yet exactly what NATO has in
:05:07. > :05:11.mind. It has been involved already in a whole set of things, helping to
:05:12. > :05:20.democratise the structures in the Ukraine, ensuring that the military
:05:21. > :05:28.is under control of civilian authorities. NATO wants to help
:05:29. > :05:34.Ukraine defend its own territory and that will sound alarm bells in
:05:35. > :05:35.Moscow. It is not clear yet exactly what kind of things NATO has in

:05:42. > :05:46.for a recount of some of the results in Sunday's local elections,
:05:47. > :05:49.in which the governing AK party of Prime Minister Recep Tayip Erdogan
:05:50. > :05:52.increased its share of the vote despite months of protests

:05:55. > :06:04.joins us now from Istanbul. Tell us more about the trouble
:06:05. > :06:08.today. There were several hundred people gathered outside the
:06:09. > :06:12.headquarters of the election body to say there had been irregularities or
:06:13. > :06:16.manipulations in the poll and essentially they wanted the body to
:06:17. > :06:19.take their complaints seriously. We understand more than 8000 complaints
:06:20. > :06:26.have been registered. That is a dramatic increase on previous years.
:06:27. > :06:33.Police met protesters with water cannon and tried to disperse them.
:06:34. > :06:40.Most protesters were from the opposition People's Party. The
:06:41. > :06:45.supporters believe they were robbed. And yet with the figures seem to
:06:46. > :06:49.show that they are in a minority, that the Prime Minister does have a
:06:50. > :06:57.strong following particularly outside the main cities? The early
:06:58. > :07:01.results we have got suggest that Recep Tayyip Erdogan's party has
:07:02. > :07:04.around 45% of the vote and that the opposition party has in the late
:07:05. > :07:12.20th percentage of the vote, probably because the People's Party,
:07:13. > :07:16.a secular party, as a hard time getting a stronghold, particularly
:07:17. > :07:22.in the East. People do not doubt that it is way behind the KK Party
:07:23. > :07:32.of Recep Tayyip Erdogan, but they doubt the validity of the election
:07:33. > :07:36.results. Briefly, let us know the latest on social media and
:07:37. > :07:42.censorship in Turkey. The networks still down? YouTube is still down,
:07:43. > :07:49.and Twitter. That is the official line but people are technologically
:07:50. > :07:51.savvy enough to get onto those websites on their own and find a way
:07:52. > :07:55.round, if they know what to do. France's new Prime Minister, Manuel
:07:56. > :07:58.Valls, has taken over from the outgoing Jean-Marc Ayrault,
:07:59. > :08:00.following a drubbing in Sunday's local elections for the governing
:08:01. > :08:02.Socialists. Mr Valls, the tough-talking former
:08:03. > :08:04.Interior Minister and the most popular member of an unpopular
:08:05. > :08:07.government, faces an uphill task. He's known to favour economic
:08:08. > :08:11.liberalism and a firm stance on law and order, and is somewhat
:08:12. > :08:14.distrusted by the left wing of his own party. The full line-up of the

:08:51. > :08:54.Only a few cases have been successfully prosecuted. Our
:08:55. > :08:57.reporter travelled to Bosnia with them.
:08:58. > :09:02.It is a landscape that 20 years ago was being ravaged by war. Close to

:09:24. > :09:28.Foreign Secretary and Angelina surely came here as part of their
:09:29. > :09:32.campaign against sexual violence in conflict once. It began two years

:09:39. > :09:43.years of war, between 20 and 15,000 -- 50,000 women were raped here.
:09:44. > :09:47.Even today you are willing to speak openly. The people who raped you,
:09:48. > :09:55.have they ever been brought to justice?
:09:56. > :10:01.Adina tells me her attackers are still free. She has even found them
:10:02. > :10:06.on social media. Many women have died, she says, without seeing
:10:07. > :10:09.justice. It is that legacy of the conflict that ties into the
