:01:35. > :01:38.said never again after the Rwanda genocide. As the 20th anniversary of

:03:12. > :03:16.African union, the French will stay on. We are engaging a long-term
:03:17. > :03:24.endeavour, to rebuild the central African state, rebuild prisons, the
:03:25. > :03:29.police and an administration. The challenges are enormous. That is why
:03:30. > :03:37.we are very happy that the members of the security council adopted that
:03:38. > :03:40.solution. We think the UN is the only partner in the world who can
:03:41. > :03:47.help us. Top is handled this crisis. The killings began a year
:03:48. > :03:53.ago when Muslim rebels seized power. After months of violence against
:03:54. > :03:56.Christians, it is now Muslim civilians who are the targets. Tens
:03:57. > :04:02.of thousands have been forced to flee. The violence began in late
:04:03. > :04:05.2012, with growing attacks perpetrated by Muslim and Christian

:04:39. > :04:42.time is of the essence for the Central African Republic. Give us an

:05:04. > :05:07.going to get into the country until September 15. That is because the UN
:05:08. > :05:11.have to build from the ground up its forces. The 5000 a year troops that
:05:12. > :05:16.are currently in the Central African Republic, many of them will be under
:05:17. > :05:21.the UN command. But the UN will have to go to other African and Asian
:05:22. > :05:24.countries to try and make up the rest of that 12,000 strong force for
:05:25. > :05:32.the Central African Republic. So this will take time. But groups here
:05:33. > :05:36.in the Security Council, the secretary general, everyone realises
:05:37. > :05:39.that there is a real risk of ethnic and religious cleansing. There is a
:05:40. > :05:42.real effort to get these peacekeepers by September 15 ready
:05:43. > :05:47.to start their strong mandate to protect civilians, monitor human
:05:48. > :05:52.rights violations and leave the country going into a political
:05:53. > :05:57.transition process. Thank you very much.
:05:58. > :06:00.The UN force will be going by September. The South African athlete
:06:01. > :06:02.Oscar Pistorius, who is standing trial for the murder of his
:06:03. > :06:05.girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, has faced tough questioning from the
:06:06. > :06:08.prosecution for a second day. He denied accusations by the
:06:09. > :06:11.prosecution that he bullied Reeva and that he was self obsessed. Mr
:06:12. > :06:15.Pistorius denies intentionally killing the twenty-nine year-old
:06:16. > :06:24.model. First our correspondent Andrew Harding reports.
:06:25. > :06:28.This was not a good day in court for Oscar Pistorius. His character and
:06:29. > :06:36.credibility coming under withering attack. First target, his selfish
:06:37. > :06:41.behaviour towards Reeva Steenkamp, as shown in text messages. I had to
:06:42. > :06:46.go to training, I had to go to lunch. Prosecutor Gerrie Nel
:06:47. > :06:53.suggesting the story is, as usual not shown on camera in court, cared
:06:54. > :06:58.only about one person. Your life is about you, what is important to
:06:59. > :07:02.Oscar. Then to the athlete's reckless attitude to guns, and an
:07:03. > :07:07.incident at this restaurant, where he fired a friend's pistol by
:07:08. > :07:10.mistake. The prosecutor said Oscar Pistorius must be lying when he
:07:11. > :07:17.suggested he had not actually pulled the trigger. I must accept that it
:07:18. > :07:22.is your version, the government off by itself or study gave you a gun
:07:23. > :07:27.and it went off by it self. I do not recall how the firearm went off, my
:07:28. > :07:33.finger was not on the trigger. Note yesterday, in fact, Oscar Pistorius
:07:34. > :07:37.became increasingly assertive, but refusing to look at the prosecutor
:07:38. > :07:41.and directing all his answers to the judge. But Gerrie Nel was making
:07:42. > :07:46.headway, suggesting a pattern of Oscar Pistorius backing response
:07:47. > :07:53.validity for his actions. You see, again, it is the strangest day. You
:07:54. > :07:56.don't take response booty for anything, you don't do anything
:07:57. > :08:04.wrong. You are lying. -- responsibility. He said that was the
:08:05. > :08:11.same on the night that Reeva Steenkamp died. I went out onto the
:08:12. > :08:17.balcony, I shouted for help, the fan might have been in the way. It never
:08:18. > :08:23.happened. You see because, Mr Pistorius, your version is alive.
:08:24. > :08:28.Oscar Pistorius strongly denied that but alone on the stand it has been a
:08:29. > :08:31.bruising day for him. The killing of Reeva Steenkamp and
:08:32. > :08:34.the case of Anni Dewani, the young British bride whose husband may yet
:08:35. > :08:38.stand trial for her murder three years ago, have both been used by
:08:39. > :08:43.women in South Africa to speak out about the high rates of domestic
:08:44. > :08:46.violence in the country. Joining me now from Pretoria is Rachel Jewkes,
:08:47. > :08:56.of the South African Medical Research Council. Why are women
:08:57. > :08:59.campaigners using the Oscar Pistorius trial, Reeva Steenkamp and
:09:00. > :09:05.the case of Anni Dewani, to highlight their campaigns? Nobody
:09:06. > :09:13.has been found guilty, the husband and the partner, so why are they
:09:14. > :09:18.using this? Well, over 1000 women are killed by their partners in
:09:19. > :09:22.South Africa every year. And there's a desperate feeling that the
:09:23. > :09:27.government is doing far too little in order to mobilise the
:09:28. > :09:30.population, and mobilise its resources to address our problem of
:09:31. > :09:37.gender-based violence effectively. And in that context, these women who
:09:38. > :09:45.are part of these, the victims in these very high profile trial cases,
:09:46. > :09:51.become named and known figures. For these large numbers of otherwise
:09:52. > :09:53.unknown women. And so they provide a way of mobilising and galvanising
:09:54. > :09:59.interest and action and putting the spotlight on the government, and the
:10:00. > :10:04.campaign and the efforts to advocate for really effective action to
:10:05. > :10:08.prevent gender-based violence. But by using the pictures, both of Reeva
:10:09. > :10:14.Steenkamp and Anni Dewani, in their campaigns as we have seen, injuring
:10:15. > :10:18.the Oscar Pistorius trial particularly, photographs of Reeva
:10:19. > :10:21.Steenkamp being held up, isn't this seen as influencing the trial in
:10:22. > :10:27.some way? Does it not matter in South Africa because there are no
:10:28. > :10:31.juries? We have professional charges, and the judges are trained
:10:32. > :10:37.not to follow what happens in the media. And in civil society. Around
:10:38. > :10:41.the cases that they are judging. And so we trust our judges to be able to
:10:42. > :10:46.reach an impartial judgement based on what goes on in the courtroom. It
:10:47. > :10:49.is as straightforward as that. You are talking about violence against
:10:50. > :10:53.women that they are trying to highlight, how far does gun culture
:10:54. > :10:57.in South Africa make the matter worse? Just talking away from the
:10:58. > :11:04.Oscar Pistorius situation, just in general terms. Well, when we look at
:11:05. > :11:11.all murders of women, we find that 17%, nearly one in five, are as a
:11:12. > :11:16.result of a gunshot. And the proportion is the same whether women
:11:17. > :11:19.are shot by a partner or by a non-partner. The big thing about
:11:20. > :11:24.guns is that they are incredibly lethal. So if somebody points a gun
:11:25. > :11:27.and fired it, the chance of a person dying from that injury is very much
:11:28. > :11:33.higher than with other forms of injury. And that's why we see it as
:11:34. > :11:39.so incredibly important to campaign against gun ownership in South
:11:40. > :11:42.Africa, and to ensure that we can eradicate at least a proportion of
:11:43. > :11:47.violence which is associated with handguns. Thank you very much
:11:48. > :11:50.joining us. It's the biggest voting event in the
:11:51. > :11:54.world and most polling stations have closed on day three of India's
:11:55. > :11:58.general elections. In some constituencies voting was extended
:11:59. > :12:03.by an hour to deal with the demand. On day three, more than 110 million
:12:04. > :12:06.people were eligible to vote. Voters had to choose 91 members of
:12:07. > :12:11.parliament across 11 states including the densely populated
:12:12. > :12:16.northern state of Uttar Pradesh. Many areas reported high voter
:12:17. > :12:21.turnout. It was as high as 65% in some states. One of those with
:12:22. > :12:24.high-voter turnout was the capital Delhi, where a new anti-corruption
:12:25. > :12:27.party is making a strong challenge to the two main parties, the
:12:28. > :12:32.governing Congress and the Hindu nationalist BJP. Today's voting saw
:12:33. > :12:37.leaders of both those parties vying for seats. So, who is appealing to
:12:38. > :12:46.the electorate? Andrew North reports from a polling station in Delhi.
:12:47. > :12:52.The quiet dignity of democracy in action. From here in north Delhi, to
:12:53. > :12:58.southern India, millions of voters are going to the polls. Many
:12:59. > :13:03.bringing their families as the voting means a public holiday.
:13:04. > :13:11.Before casting their ballots, everyone has their finger marked
:13:12. > :13:15.with ink to prevent fraud. This electrician came to vote early,
:13:16. > :13:18.bringing his six-month-old grandson to the polling station. Like many
:13:19. > :13:27.other Muslims living in this part of Delhi, he said he was staying loyal
:13:28. > :13:31.to the ruling Congress party. I have always voted for the Congress and
:13:32. > :13:35.the Gandhi family. Inflation is an issue for us, but it is not the
:13:36. > :13:39.fault of the Congress party. But others said it was time for a change
:13:40. > :13:50.and were backing the petition BJP candidate. Narendra Modi has clean
:13:51. > :13:53.politics. People say he is against Muslims, but I think he should get a
:13:54. > :13:59.chance. We should see how he performs. As well as in Delhi,
:14:00. > :14:03.voters are casting ballots in nearly a fifth of India's Parliament treat
:14:04. > :14:06.seats in this latest round of voting. But it will be another month
:14:07. > :14:11.before the world's biggest election is over. There has been a steady
:14:12. > :14:17.flow of voters arriving at this polling station in the old city.
:14:18. > :14:20.This is the biggest day so far in India's marathon elections. Voters
:14:21. > :14:23.have been saying issues like corruption and inflation are
:14:24. > :14:27.deciding their vote, but others are also talking about old loyalties. We
:14:28. > :14:31.will know the result in the middle of May. With me is Rahul Roy
:14:32. > :14:39.Chaudhury, senior fellow for South Asia at the International Institute
:14:40. > :14:42.for Strategic Studies. First of all, opinion polls seem to suggest that
:14:43. > :14:50.the Congress party is not doing very well, but its appeal is often
:14:51. > :14:54.underestimated, is in the pre-election opinion polls? Yes, but
:14:55. > :15:00.at the same time opinion polls get it wrong quite often. The Congress
:15:01. > :15:07.party appeals to a wide range of the electorate in India, huge number of
:15:08. > :15:11.people, but one of the key problems this time is that it has been
:15:12. > :15:15.governing the country for the last ten years and there have been
:15:16. > :15:18.several own goals for the Congress, including widespread allegations of
:15:19. > :15:22.corruption, a sense that the leadership has not been decisive
:15:23. > :15:26.enough, that leadership has been divided in the country. The head of
:15:27. > :15:30.the Congress party and the Prime Minister. This time, I think it
:15:31. > :15:41.might be difficult for the Congress to return to government. How big an
:15:42. > :15:46.issue is corruption for the electorate and will the new
:15:47. > :15:59.anti-corruption Patsy Kane traction for this? -- anti-corruption party
:16:00. > :16:03.keen traction. We have seen challenging in the daily province,
:16:04. > :16:10.challenging the government and getting power for 49 days in Delhi.
:16:11. > :16:14.But we should not overestimate its influence throughout the country.
:16:15. > :16:20.Today ironically we are seeing a presidential style of elections in
:16:21. > :16:27.the largest Parliamentary democracy in the world. The focus is on the
:16:28. > :16:38.two leading contenders for Prime Minister, not necessarily their
:16:39. > :16:45.parties. One party is unlikely to have the importance nationally. So
:16:46. > :16:54.you have Rahul Gandhi, and Narendra Modi for the BGP -- BGP. How can
:16:55. > :17:05.Rahul Gandhi appealed to the youthful? There will be 100 million
:17:06. > :17:10.new voters from the last election. There is a tremendous appeal that
:17:11. > :17:16.Rahul Gandhi could hold for Indian use, but unfortunately he has not
:17:17. > :17:20.capitalised on that. There was a horrific incidents of Crete in Delhi
:17:21. > :17:26.when you go and we never saw Rahul Gandhi coming out onto the streets
:17:27. > :17:34.of Delhi to empathise... He has had a low profile? He has had a low
:17:35. > :17:45.profile. He is 43 years old. His main rival is 63. It is a 23 year
:17:46. > :17:49.gap. He does have an advantage in that he is talking about decisive
:17:50. > :17:55.leadership. He is talking about change and governance. Areas in
:17:56. > :18:03.which the youth of India are very keen, to move forward and get jobs,
:18:04. > :18:09.and modern India, a strong India. There is an appeal that he is
:18:10. > :18:14.putting to the use even though he is older than Rahul Gandhi. Thank you
:18:15. > :18:17.very much indeed. Now a look at some of the days other
:18:18. > :18:19.news. Russia's President Vladimir Putin
:18:20. > :18:23.has written to several European leaders to warn them their supply of
:18:24. > :18:26.gas from Russia could be affected by Ukraine's energy debts. Many East
:18:27. > :18:29.European states import most of their gas from Russia via pipelines
:18:30. > :18:32.through Ukraine. And West Germany, Italy and Austria are high users of
:18:33. > :18:36.Russian gas. Meanwhile NATO has released
:18:37. > :18:38.satellite images and maps of what it says is the Russian military
:18:39. > :18:41.build-up on Ukraine's eastern frontier. They were taken as
:18:42. > :18:44.recently as the beginning of April and show sophisticated warplanes,
:18:45. > :18:47.helicopters as well as an airborne early warning aircraft and a number
:18:48. > :18:50.of military deployments on the ground. A NATO official said the
:18:51. > :18:54.force was at high readiness and could move quickly.
:18:55. > :18:57.Five members of Russia's parliament have called for the former
:18:58. > :19:00.president, Mikhail Gorbachev, to be prosecuted over the collapse of the
:19:01. > :19:03.Soviet Union. The deputies say he allowed the Communist state to
:19:04. > :19:05.disintegrate in 1991 despite a referendum vote to preserve its
:19:06. > :19:17.unity. Mr Gorbachev dismissed the move as a total absurdity that was
:19:18. > :19:21.driven by a hunger for publicity. As we alluded to earlier, it is 20
:19:22. > :19:25.years since the start of the genocide in Rwanda. The impact of
:19:26. > :19:33.that tragedy are still being felt in the neighbouring Democratic Republic
:19:34. > :19:37.of Congo. That's because Hutus, many of whom were behind the violence,
:19:38. > :19:40.fled Rwanda and ended up there. Some are refugees. But others are accused

:22:25. > :22:28.quitting. This woman lives in this hut because the rebels burned her
:22:29. > :22:36.house down. One night I slept in this forest, in the pouring rain. I
:22:37. > :22:40.could not lie to fire because of the rebels, these don't everything. They
:22:41. > :22:46.stole everything from me. I did not even have a piece of clothing to

:22:50. > :22:53.group has disarmed.They say they will go after them in the next few
:22:54. > :22:56.months. But they are also worried about the hundreds of civilians who

:23:07. > :23:10.The craze for selfies - photos you take of yourself - usually on a
:23:11. > :23:13.mobile phone has become so prevalent that it was the Oxford English

:23:22. > :23:24.we know that President Obama and many other politicians as well as
:23:25. > :23:28.celebrities are not above being in selfies. But could the selfie, along
:23:29. > :23:38.with other photos that people post on the internet, be damaging to our
:23:39. > :23:42.psychological and emotional health? A new survey suggests sPending lots
:23:43. > :23:45.of time on the internet looking at pictures of friends could make women
:23:46. > :23:48.in particular insecure about their body image. The lead author on the
:23:49. > :23:51.study is Petya Eckler from the University of Strathclyde in
:23:52. > :23:55.Scotland. She joins me from our studio in Glasgow. What did you
:23:56. > :24:01.find, in what way was the health of women being damaged psychologically
:24:02. > :24:06.and emotionally? Hello. We studied University women in the United
:24:07. > :24:10.States first of all. We found that there was a clear linear
:24:11. > :24:16.relationship between the time they spent on Facebook and how they felt
:24:17. > :24:20.about their bodies. The more tiny spent on Facebook, the poor body
:24:21. > :24:28.image they had and the more the compared themselves to the bodies of
:24:29. > :24:30.their friends. Why is comparing themselves to their friends more
:24:31. > :24:37.damaging than looking at celebrity pictures for instance? We are
:24:38. > :24:42.speculating at this point because we did not ask them that but we think
:24:43. > :24:48.this is more damaging, because you know these people. These are people
:24:49. > :24:54.you are similar to. Celebrities are distant and aloof. This connection
:24:55. > :25:01.to your friends makes it more relevant to you. Another factor
:25:02. > :25:06.rethink make these photos more damaging than photos in magazines is
:25:07. > :25:13.because you know photographs in the traditional media are often photo
:25:14. > :25:20.shopped. The altered. This is not necessarily the case for Facebook
:25:21. > :25:23.photographs. -- they are altered. A lot of women try to present their
:25:24. > :25:30.best self online, not their real self. Women often try to look the
:25:31. > :25:37.best possible way online and that is not something we take into account
:25:38. > :25:41.when we look at those pictures. We're not just talking about
:25:42. > :25:46.selfies, which tend to be about the fees generally. You're talking about
:25:47. > :25:59.photographs in general. Why is this a problem about women rather than
:26:00. > :26:10.men? -- about the fees generally. -- the face. We're not talking just
:26:11. > :26:14.about winning. But young women at university are more inclined to post
:26:15. > :26:19.photographs. They are more inclined to share photographs and post
:26:20. > :26:24.photographs than men. The more photographs online, the more
:26:25. > :26:30.conditions for comparison. The conclusion is therefore do not post
:26:31. > :26:34.as many photographs of yourself, ladies, on the internets! Thank you
:26:35. > :26:38.very much. A reminder of our main news...
:26:39. > :26:40.The UN Security Council has voted to send almost 12,000 peacekeepers to
