This is BBC World News Today, with me, Philippa Thomas. | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
Parts of Chile are declared "disaster areas" after an 8.2 | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
magnitude earthquake. Six people are dead, tens of thousands have been | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
evacuated, and dozens of aftershocks felt. | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
Manuel Valls, the new French prime minister unveils his cabinet. It | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
includes a comeback for Segolene Royal, former partner of President | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
Hollande, who ran for the top job herself a few years ago. | :00:30. | :00:37. | |
Also coming up: One of Afghanistan's former warlords has given a rare | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
interview to the BBC, saying he hopes the upcoming elections are | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
followed by a "lawful transfer of power". | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
The future of Britain, in or out of Europe, is being argued in a BBC | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
political debate right now. We will keep you up to date. | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
And two masterpieces of French art are recovered by police in Italy, | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
four decades after they vanished in London. | :00:57. | :01:12. | |
Hello and welcome. Chile says the northern regions hit | :01:13. | :01:20. | |
by a magnitude 8.2 earthquake overnight are 'disaster areas'. At | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
least six people are known to have died. Tens of thousands were | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
evacuated in the face of tsunami warnings, which were triggered as | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
far away as Hawaii. And as the area near the mining town of Iquique | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
suffered dozens of aftershocks, police set about the task of | :01:35. | :01:36. | |
recapturing 300 women prisoners who'd escaped. Emily Buchanan | :01:37. | :01:47. | |
reports. Ten to nine in the evening, | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
last-minute shopping before dinner. And then suddenly the terrifying | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
tremors. The ground shook as people ran out of this supermarket. The | :01:57. | :02:03. | |
shells shaking so violently, goods were just thrown onto the floor. -- | :02:04. | :02:14. | |
shelves. Nearby in the city of Iquique, the | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
moment of the quake. One woman could only pray as her house shook | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
precariously. Outside you can hear the sound of walls and windows | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
breaking and then the lights went out. The pitch darkness in this | :02:30. | :02:40. | |
district was broken only by a huge fire. People were desperate to flee | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
the area and it cost me have in the streets. A few had been killed by | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
collapsing walls or heart attacks. It was very strong and it went a | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
long time, this woman cried. Another said, the police have told us to | :02:56. | :03:04. | |
leave. But it was hard to find shelter. The hospitals themselves | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
were being cleared of patients. The government has declared a state of | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
emergency, to stop looting. Around 300 inmates escaped from a women's | :03:15. | :03:23. | |
present. Chile's president price -- promised to protect people and their | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
families. Chile has escaped relatively lightly. A large tsunami | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
did not materialise although dangerous waves could hit countries | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
across the Pacific. But scientists warn of the earthquake to come. | :03:39. | :03:47. | |
Paula Molina is a journalist and radio presenter. Welcome. We were | :03:48. | :03:54. | |
hearing that there are fears that there could be more activity, more | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
earthquakes. I guess that is what people are topping about. Yes, | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
another earthquake cannot be ruled out. This is a zone where the plates | :04:04. | :04:13. | |
slide. There has not been a big earthquake since 1877. That is why | :04:14. | :04:21. | |
experts and people were expecting a big event in Iquique. That is what | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
happened yesterday. But they cannot say for sure that this was the big | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
earthquake that everyone was expecting. What are you hearing from | :04:32. | :04:39. | |
the scene about the damage there? It is less than 24 hours after the 8.2 | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
earthquake. As people return to their homes, we are getting a | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
clearer picture of the damage caused. Six people died. Locals have | :04:49. | :04:57. | |
said 2000 buildings have been damaged. At least 100 roads were | :04:58. | :05:06. | |
lost or destroyed, according to fishermen around the city of Iquique | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
and other small fishing towns. Some routes remain blocked by landslides. | :05:13. | :05:22. | |
Many local businesses and supermarkets are still closed and | :05:23. | :05:29. | |
also schools are closed today. But there is an ongoing evaluation about | :05:30. | :05:36. | |
the situation. After the tsunami in 2010, the government was criticised | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
about the way reacted. How is it tried to control the situation? | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
There is a clear effort to respond quickly to this earthquake. The | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
Chilean government and whole country, I think we have learnt the | :05:49. | :05:55. | |
lessons from 2010. There was a tsunami warning across coastal | :05:56. | :06:03. | |
areas. Residents were urged to evacuate and move to higher ground. | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
900,000 people were evacuated according to the National emergency | :06:10. | :06:16. | |
office. They did it mostly in a calm effort. This mining, at 7am, ten | :06:17. | :06:24. | |
minutes before 2am, the government declared to northern regions as | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
disaster areas. According to this, military forces took charge of | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
public order in those areas. The government is moving fast in the | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
face of this emergency. Thank you very much. | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
The new French Prime Minister, Manuel Valls, has unveiled his new | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
government, bringing in Segolene Royal, the former partner of | :06:50. | :06:51. | |
President Francois Hollande, who also ran for president seven years | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
ago. She'll be the new environment minister. In the new, smaller | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
cabinet, eight out of the 16 ministers are women. The shake-up | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
follows the heavy losses followed by the governing Socialist party in | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
municipal elections on Sunday. Joining me from Paris is the | :07:07. | :07:08. | |
cultural and political commentator Agnes Poirier. | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
Thank you for joining us on the programme. Does this feel like a new | :07:15. | :07:21. | |
government to you? Well, not much, actually. We are quite underwhelmed | :07:22. | :07:28. | |
here in Paris. On Monday evening after having lost 175 towns, | :07:29. | :07:36. | |
President Hollande addressed the nation and said that he was at | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
Manuel Valls, his former interior minister, to compose a new | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
government which he said was going to be a compact -- combats | :07:46. | :07:52. | |
government. We are expecting something different in the sense | :07:53. | :08:00. | |
that, today the first members of the Cabinet were announced at lunchtime. | :08:01. | :08:07. | |
A lot of old faces and very little new blood. What about Segolene | :08:08. | :08:16. | |
Royal, our people excited? Is this a comeback for her? It is interesting, | :08:17. | :08:25. | |
it is only the international media that are talking about Segolene | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
Royal. She is a very able politician from the French left and what is | :08:29. | :08:37. | |
uprising -- surprising was that she was not part of the former | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
government from 2012 when President Hollande was elected. She is welcome | :08:42. | :08:48. | |
addition to the government for her fans in the French left. What is odd | :08:49. | :08:58. | |
though that Manuel Valls belongs to the right of the left. His choice is | :08:59. | :09:16. | |
showing the mistakes that Hollande has made. It will be attempt to | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
appease the Socialist party and get all the different factions of the | :09:23. | :09:29. | |
Socialist party happy, which probably is not what the French at | :09:30. | :09:35. | |
large were expecting. Now a look at some of the day's | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
other news. Ukraine's ousted president, Viktor | :09:42. | :09:43. | |
Yanukovych had said he he was "wrong' to invite Russian troops | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
into Crimea. Speaking on Russian television, he added that the | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
region's separation from Ukraine was "a tragedy". Mr Yanukovych said he | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
would try to negotiate with Russia and persuade President Putin to | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
return Crimea to Ukraine. He also said Ukraine was falling apart. | :09:56. | :10:03. | |
TRANSLATION: One should try to hear and understand people. The pain and | :10:04. | :10:10. | |
tragedy that has happened with Crimea is a vivid example. And it is | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
very hard to come to terms with that. This is a graphic example of | :10:16. | :10:25. | |
when the population of such a huge region held a referendum in the wake | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
of protest sent in. And effectively ceded from Ukraine. I personally | :10:32. | :10:41. | |
cannot agree to this. Had I been there, I would have tried to prevent | :10:42. | :10:48. | |
this will stop There's been a third explosion in the Egyptian capital, | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
following twin blasts outside Cairo University which killed a police | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
brigadier general and wounded five others. | :10:55. | :10:56. | |
Security officials say the roadside bombs exploded minutes apart and | :10:57. | :10:58. | |
targeted riot police deployed outside the engineering faculty, | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
where it was expected students would be protesting in support of the | :11:02. | :11:10. | |
ousted president Mohamed Morsi. A student from Mauritius who lost | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
her case for asylum here in the UK is due to be returned to the Indian | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
Ocean island within the next two hours. The case of 19-year-old | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
Yashika Bageerathi has drawn national attention, and her lawyers | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
are trying to lodge a last-minute appeal. She had been due to start | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
her final school exams in six weeks. And one of the world's most famous | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
football clubs, Barcelona has been banned from all transfers of players | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
after breaking the rules on buying young footballers. Football's world | :11:36. | :11:38. | |
governing body, FIFA, has also fined the Spanish champions more than by | :11:39. | :11:46. | |
the hundred thousand dollars. It's been a day of uneasy calm in | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
the Kenyan city of Mombasa after a radical cleric, Abubakar Shariff | :11:51. | :11:53. | |
Ahmed, was shot dead outside a law court yesterday. It's still not | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
clear who did it. Abubakar, alias Makaburi was on UN sanctions lists, | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
accused of having "strong ties" with leaders of the Somali militant | :12:01. | :12:02. | |
group, Al Shabaab. Tomi Oladipo reports. | :12:03. | :12:11. | |
The signs of the killing are still fresh air. This time on Tuesday, | :12:12. | :12:18. | |
approaching the close of business, M Booty was walking on this stretch -- | :12:19. | :12:27. | |
Makaburi was walking on the stretch. Gunmen opened fire, killing him | :12:28. | :12:37. | |
instantly. He has been the third high-profile cleric killed in less | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
than two years. The business owners have boarded up their shots. In this | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
area where the cleric was based, many where afraid to speak openly of | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
his killing in fear of being identified. Police are still | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
investigating Makaburi's killing. Some human rights groups point the | :12:56. | :13:03. | |
finger at security forces. This is going to make the situation worse. | :13:04. | :13:09. | |
It is not going to calm the situation. And every time they use | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
force, you can see the reaction across the country. Now the security | :13:15. | :13:20. | |
situation in the country is alarming, to tell you the truth. Not | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
only in Mombasa, but everywhere. What are your worst fears? They will | :13:27. | :13:35. | |
be the kind of revenge. I am afraid that this revenge will be taken | :13:36. | :13:42. | |
against tourists. Because that will be devastating for the economy of | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
this country. Tensions are also high in the capital, Nairobi. On Monday, | :13:48. | :13:54. | |
six people were killed when three bombs went off at the height of rush | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
hour. Today authorities closed the airport and the area wallowing | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
suspicions of a bomb. Nothing was found. It might look like business | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
as usual, but this is a city on the edge. People here do not know who is | :14:08. | :14:13. | |
the next target. Human rights groups are accusing the government of not | :14:14. | :14:19. | |
doing enough to investigate the killings. That can heighten the | :14:20. | :14:29. | |
uncertainty here. The Taliban has claimed | :14:30. | :14:31. | |
responsibility for a deadly explosion on the last day of | :14:32. | :14:33. | |
campaigning, ahead of Saturday's crucial presidential elections in | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
Afghanistan. Officials say at least six policemen were killed when a | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
suicide bomber blew himself up outside the Interior ministry | :14:40. | :14:41. | |
building. General Abdul Rashid Dostum, the former Afghan warlord | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
blamed for some of the worse atrocities in his country, has told | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
the BBC that he hopes for a "lawful transfer or power". He's given us a | :14:49. | :14:51. | |
rare interview. Our Our Kabul correspondent Karen Allen | :14:52. | :15:08. | |
has more. This man has helped topple the Taliban. He is worried he cannot | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
control this crowd. He could become the country's most powerful figure | :15:14. | :15:20. | |
if his running mate wins the presidential race. With elections | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
days away, Poyet take seems -- chaotic scenes are the scenes here. | :15:26. | :15:34. | |
Away from the crowds I seize the moment is weak to the general who is | :15:35. | :15:40. | |
already public apologised for the country's violent past. So I asked | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
if this was a new Dawn for Afghanistan. | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
TRANSLATION: We hope to see a lawful transfer of powers in these | :15:49. | :15:51. | |
elections. I hope we will be the ones who succeed in doing this. Will | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
we see a new way of doing things, if you're vice-president? No answer | :15:57. | :16:02. | |
just a brief goodbye. A commander when Afghanistan was controlled by | :16:03. | :16:08. | |
the Soviets, he switched sides years later, receiving US backing in the | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
fight against the Taliban. But one of the worst atrocities committed on | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
his watch was when thousands of Taliban prisoners penned up in | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
containers were killed in the north of the country. Human rights | :16:22. | :16:28. | |
campaigners declared it a war crime for which General Abdul Rashid | :16:29. | :16:30. | |
Dostum has never been held to account. The same goes for other war | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
Lord's, vying in these electioners -- elections, yet people still | :16:36. | :16:38. | |
remember. In this election, it's the question of survival. It's the | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
question of future of this country and the future of the stability in | :16:43. | :16:49. | |
this country. Therefore, people are trying to cautiously push for the | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
agenda. They want to make sure that nothing disrupts the election. | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
General Abdul Rashid Dostum may have been the only candidate which has | :16:58. | :17:00. | |
apologised for the past, but he could hold a powerful position in | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
any future government. A new generation of voters is having | :17:06. | :17:11. | |
to choose from faces of the past and though he was once declared a | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
killer, today the general brings with him valuable ethnic votes and | :17:16. | :17:22. | |
supporters say times have changed. Now is very different. Time is | :17:23. | :17:25. | |
different. The people, the mind is changed. Everybody is educated. So | :17:26. | :17:32. | |
trust on him, he will be changed. Has his mind set changed? Of course. | :17:33. | :17:41. | |
He may worry about the political choices he's made, but he's perhaps | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
worries more of an uncertain future, when foreign forces finally fly | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
home. Now, should the UK stay in the | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
European Union or get out? That is the debate taking place now in | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
London between pro-European Nick Clegg, leader of the Liberal | :17:59. | :18:02. | |
Democrats, and Deputy Prime Minister, and Nigel Farage leader of | :18:03. | :18:09. | |
the UK Independence Party. This is the second part of a debate which | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
began last week. Let's show you how the two leaders made their opening | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
pitch tonight. It's 40 years since the BBC debated this great question, | :18:17. | :18:23. | |
the one thing that has remained the same is David dibble beener -- | :18:24. | :18:31. | |
Dimbleby. It was all about trade, if you remember, well it wasn't true. | :18:32. | :18:34. | |
Today we find ourselves part a political union. We find most of our | :18:35. | :18:37. | |
laws being made somewhere else. We find it's all rather expensive and | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
we have open-door immigration. Indeed, if you put to a referendum | :18:41. | :18:45. | |
today, would we join that union, overwhelmingly, we would say no. | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
There's now a clear, settled majority opinion in this country | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
which says look, we're not anti-European. We want to trade with | :18:54. | :18:56. | |
Europe, cooperate with Europe and get on well with our next door | :18:57. | :18:59. | |
neighbours, but we don't want a political union. There's an obstacle | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
and the obstacle is here tonight in the form of Nick Clegg, it's the | :19:05. | :19:07. | |
clear political class and their friends in big business, they want | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
to us keep this status quo. I want Britain to get up off its knees, | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
let's govern ourselves again, stand tall and trade with the world. | :19:16. | :19:23. | |
APPLAUSE Nick Clegg. Tonight I'm going to ask | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
you to remember just one thing: If it sounds too good to be true, then | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
it probably is. You've just heard it from Nigel Farage, you'll hear if | :19:34. | :19:36. | |
from him all evening. He will say that we can quit the European Union, | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
isolate ourselves in the world and still protect jobs, still protect | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
trade, still punch above our weight. That we can have all the good things | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
of anybodying Europe, without being -- of being in Europe without being | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
in Europe. It's a dangerous con. The modern world has changed. Our | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
economies are now intertwined with each other. We have to work with | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
other countries to protect jobs, to protect trade, to make sure that | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
Britain is richer, stronger and safer. For us as a country to thrive | :20:06. | :20:10. | |
and prosper, we should do what we do at our best, not walk away, but to | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
work with others and lead, because in an uncertain world, there is | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
strength in numbers. That is why we should remain in the European Union. | :20:20. | :20:28. | |
With me is the BBC's political correspondent Rob Watson. What we | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
expected to hear on Europe, but also Russia featuring in this debate. | :20:33. | :20:38. | |
Absolutely, there's been a lot of passion and yes, Russia. That's | :20:39. | :20:41. | |
because Nigel Farage, the leader of UKIP had, in the past, praised | :20:42. | :20:47. | |
Vladimir Putin, saying he admired him as an operator. There's been | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
passionate debate about that with Nick Clegg saying that Farage is so | :20:52. | :20:54. | |
obsessed with his hatred of the EU that he even finds himself praising | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
Vladimir Putin. Stepping back from that and of course how this Putin | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
business plays out, what these debates are really about, what we're | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
really looking out for is where will they leave UKIP and Nigel Farage? In | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
Britain, as in a lot of other European countries, you have this | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
insurgency outside a party, in the case of Britain, it's UKIP, it's | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
Nigel Farage. Based on a to hell with all the political classes and | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
let's get out of Europe. It's just going to be curious, when all this | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
settles down, the rows about Putin, where does it leave UKIP. It's a | :21:30. | :21:32. | |
question for Nigel Farage, is exposure good for him? Absolutely. | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
There's been a little bit of mixed polling on that so far. On one hand, | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
it seems that first debate a week ago attracted new followers to UKIP. | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
You might say, well, any publicity is good publicity, if you're a small | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
party. On the other hand, there has been one poll suggesting that quite | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
a large number of people think that Nigel Farage is a threat to the UK's | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
interests. Very interestingly balanced and again, that is why this | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
debate is so interesting, to look out for any medium long-term | :22:04. | :22:10. | |
effects, does it affect UKIP's position or not? We know those who | :22:11. | :22:13. | |
care about Europe here, care passionately, but a lot of people | :22:14. | :22:16. | |
don't care at all. One of the points of this debate is to get people to | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
take notice of the very issue. Absolutely. Voter turnout in euro | :22:21. | :22:25. | |
elections is dismal. This is an extremely Euro-sceptic country. Will | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
people be watching? Will we be amongst the select few talking about | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
this? Well, one fears that people won't be turning away from the pub | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
and from their favourite soap op raz. Thank you very much. -- operas. | :22:39. | :22:44. | |
If you're excited by this, can you see more on BBC Two and the News | :22:45. | :22:47. | |
Channel and if you're watching internationally, we'll bring you | :22:48. | :22:50. | |
more in ten minutes. Now, if you spent any time in the UK | :22:51. | :22:55. | |
in the last couple of days, in particular in the south of England, | :22:56. | :22:58. | |
you'll have noticed a lot of dust and smog in the air. That's because | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
of an exceptionally high level of air pollution, a mix of local and | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
European emissions and dust from the Sahara. | :23:07. | :23:12. | |
This is Leeds, wherein recent days, air pollution has far exceeded | :23:13. | :23:18. | |
levels considered safe by the EU. It's all down to the weather. Dust | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
has blown in from the Sahara, industrial pollution from Europe to | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
mix with existing local emissions. There's no wind to blow them away. | :23:30. | :23:33. | |
High pressure acts like a lid to trap the pollutants. What we're | :23:34. | :23:37. | |
seeing in terms of air quality is relatively unusual. It's a | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
combination of several factors, none of which in themselves is | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
particularly unusual. But it's the combination of four individual | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
factors, some of which are to do with chemistry, some emissions and | :23:51. | :23:55. | |
air quality have all kiened. -- combined. Air pollution can | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
exacerbate existing lung disease particularly amatics and -- asthma | :24:02. | :24:13. | |
tics and those with COPD. ( High or very high levels of pollution are | :24:14. | :24:16. | |
expected to affect England and Wales today. Forecasters say it should ebb | :24:17. | :24:23. | |
away by the end of the week. Police in Italy have recovered two | :24:24. | :24:27. | |
French master pieces, which were stolen from a London home more than | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
40 years ago. The works by Paul Gauguin and Pierre Bonnard were | :24:32. | :24:34. | |
found in the home of a pensioner in the island of Sicily. | :24:35. | :24:40. | |
On display to the public for the first time in four decades, the | :24:41. | :24:46. | |
still life by Paul Gauguin is thought to be worth anywhere between | :24:47. | :24:52. | |
?8 million and ?25 million. This along with Pierre Bonnard's Woman | :24:53. | :24:56. | |
with Two Chairs, was stolen from a private address in London in 1970. | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
According to Italian police, they were left on a train and auctioned | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
off as lost property in 1975. They were bought for a fraction of their | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
real cost by a car factory worker. They hung on the wall of his kitchen | :25:10. | :25:13. | |
for years, until his son spotted they might be genuine art works and | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
the police were contacted. The potential financial rewards from a | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
successful heist can be staggering. In 2008, in Switzerland, pieces by | :25:23. | :25:31. | |
Monet, and Dega, with a total value exceeding ?80 million were taken in | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
a robbery lasting minutes. All were eventually found, as was The Scream, | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
one of the most famous threats in recent years. It had suffered damage | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
but was still able to be put on display. As countless thefts have | :25:46. | :25:50. | |
shown, as long as art work retains their multimillion pound price tags, | :25:51. | :25:53. | |
they'll be targeted by criminal gangs, who see value in purely | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
financial terms. Time to remind you of our main news: | :25:59. | :26:04. | |
Chile says the northern regions hit by magnitude 8. 2 earthquake | :26:05. | :26:08. | |
overnight are disaster areas. At least six people are known to have | :26:09. | :26:11. | |
died. Tens of thousands were evacuated in the face of tsunami | :26:12. | :26:16. | |
warnings, triggered as far away as Hawaii. As the area near the mining | :26:17. | :26:22. | |
town suffered dozens of aftershocks, police had to set about the task of | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
recapturing 300 women prisoners, who escaped. We know several dozen are | :26:28. | :26:30. | |
now back behind bars. That's all from our programme. Next, it's the | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
weather. For now, from me, and the rest of the team, goodbye and thanks | :26:36. | :26:37. | |
for watching. Hello, weather conditions turning | :26:38. | :26:58. | |
more unsettled now heading into the latter part of the week. Weather | :26:59. | :27:02. | |
fronts pushing in from the west will bring outbreaks of rain as we head | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
through tomorrow. But primarily across western areas. Heavy bursts | :27:07. | :27:10. | |
across Scotland as we reach the end of the night and through the course | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
of tomorrow morning, there will be still some rain affecting | :27:15. | :27:16. |
