This is BBC World News Today. The headline. David Cameron sets out the | :00:09. | :00:15. | |
case for the UK bombing the so-called Islamic State in sites | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
area. He told a parliamentary debate that doing so it's not only morally | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
right but also in the interests of national security. We have to hit | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
these terrorists in their heartlands right now. We must not shirk our | :00:29. | :00:34. | |
responsibility for security or hand it to others. In Moscow the French | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
President is meeting Vladimir Putin to push for a stronger Coalition | :00:39. | :00:44. | |
against Islamic State. Coming up... Pope Francis celebrates Mass in | :00:45. | :00:58. | |
Nairobi, thousands braved torrential rain to see him and Donald Trump is | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
under fire at this time for marking a disabled New York Times reporter. | :01:02. | :01:14. | |
Hello and welcome. Efforts to build a stronger Coalition against the | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
so-called Islamic State have been given a new urgency following the | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
Paris attacks. In London David Cameron told MPs that Britain has a | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
moral duty to do more and leading the charge for stronger military | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
action against IS militants, the French President is on a | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
globetrotting mission. He is in talks with President Putin in Moscow | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
who says their interests coincide. Francois Hollande began on Monday | :01:39. | :01:45. | |
with two meetings in Paris, the first with David Cameron and after | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
that he received at the President of the European Council. On Tuesday, he | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
flew to Washington with that Racal for talks with President Obama. He | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
was then visited by Angela Merkel and earlier on Thursday he met the | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
Italian feminist. Bringing in the current Moscow trip, the French | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
President will have met three different leaders in four days. As | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
we mentioned, the British Prime Minister has been making the case | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
for UK military action in Parliament. The reason for acting is | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
the very direct threat that IS poses to our country and our way of life. | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
Isil have attacked Ankara, Beirut and Paris as well as the likely | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
blowing up of a Russian plane with 224 people on board. They have | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
already taken the lives of British hostages and inspired the worst | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
terrorist attack against British people since July the 7th on the | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
beaches of Tunisia. Crucially they have repeatedly tried to attack us | :02:47. | :03:05. | |
right here in Britain. In the last 12 months, our police and security | :03:06. | :03:07. | |
services have disrupted no fewer than seven terrorist plots to attack | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
the UK. Every one of which was either linked to Isil or inspired by | :03:11. | :03:12. | |
the propaganda. I am in no doubt that it is in our national interest | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
for action to be taken to stop them and stopping them means taking | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
action in Syria because that is where their headquarters is. Within | :03:19. | :03:20. | |
the past hour or so the Leader of the Opposition Labour Party, Jeremy | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
Corbyn has issued a statement saying he cannot endorse REF air strikes in | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
Syria and his stand is soaring up something of a furious row in Labour | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
and throws into doubt the timetable for any British involvement. If that | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
does happen, what impact good British military action have and | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
would it make this country a bigger target for terror attacks? Ask your | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
tea correspondent has this assessment. | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
Syria hasn't always been at war. Just five years ago it was a popular | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
tourist destination. Ruled by a largely unpopular regime. | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
Then came the Arab Spring. It started as a peaceful protest by | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
unarmed civilians, calling for an end to ash tear arrests and torture. | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
But President Assad's regime responded with bullets and tanks and | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
more torture. By April 2011, the popular up rising was already | :04:12. | :04:24. | |
turning violent. New rebel groups emerged, including radical | :04:25. | :04:25. | |
It became a Civil War. In 2013, Assad's forces were widely | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
blamed for a mass poisonous gas attack. Over 1,000 people died. In | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
2014, the so-called Islamic State seized large parts of Iraq and | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
Syria. US-led air strikes on the group began. Britain joined in but | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
only in Iraq. So does it make military sense to now extend British | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
action into Syria? The military plan is credible in military terms and | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
Britain does have something to contribute as the weapons are | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
accurate, they can be used in a discriminating way. But Britain is | :04:58. | :05:04. | |
not in a position to add huge numbers of aircraft or sorties. | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
Syria has had air strikes for more than four years as rival forces | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
battle for control of territory. The Syrian government is clinging to | :05:11. | :05:23. | |
pockets of land shown in red. Then the rebel groups, moderate and | :05:24. | :05:25. | |
radical, shown in light red. The Kurdish forces in yellow, have been | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
fighting against Islamic State, their forces are shown in orange, | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
they are spread across the border into Iraq where Britain is already | :05:32. | :05:38. | |
bombing them. In Syria, the RAF can only conduct surveillance. If | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
that now changes to British air strikes in Syria, what could go | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
wrong? Many things could go wrong. There are so many steps that have to | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
follow in sequence and as we have seen with the downing of the Russian | :05:50. | :06:05. | |
warplane, that is the kind of thing that can occur and throw | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
off plan. Then there is the terrorist threat | :06:09. | :06:10. | |
here in Britain. IS already want to target this | :06:11. | :06:12. | |
country. But after such a public debate over | :06:13. | :06:14. | |
air strikes, they are thought likely to want to step up their efforts. | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
Let us get more about those who are seeking to step up their efforts, | :06:21. | :06:27. | |
the current meeting of the French and Russian presidents, both dealing | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
with the aftermath of terrorist attacks. I have been talking to our | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
Moscow correspondent about what Francois Hollande and Vladimir Putin | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
are trying to achieve. Acting work closely together is what they are | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
trying to achieve and that is what both men said as they spoke before | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
they headed into their meeting. President Putin talking about Russia | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
being ready to work together with France as part of a broader | :06:51. | :07:03. | |
Coalition in Syria against Isil militants. He said that was | :07:04. | :07:05. | |
necessary and Russia's position and that of France: Side. Both men | :07:06. | :07:07. | |
highlighting the fact that both countries have been victims of | :07:08. | :07:09. | |
serious terrorist attacks in recent weeks. Russia suffered an attack on | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
a plane from Egypt and France saw the attacks in Paris. They stress | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
that that compelled them to unite forces against what has been | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
described as a common threat and President Putin describes it as a | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
common evil. What they can actually do in practical terms, it is | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
difficult to know exactly how much intelligence could be shared, how | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
much proper coordination on the ground there could be, particularly | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
as we know there are such differences particularly between | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
Russia now and Turkey. The situation with Turkey shooting down a Russian | :07:45. | :07:51. | |
fighter jet involved in Syria has complicated the situation. The talk | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
between Ankara and Moscow is very strong, the rhetoric extremely | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
strong, Russia including -- accusing Ankara of siding with terrorists. I | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
think that makes things more complicated even though President | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
Putin says he is committed to a common fight against IS. You are | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
right to point that out. It has been complicated to talk about peace | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
efforts in Syria but I suppose this is a meeting where the two men will | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
agree that there needs to be a transition, a post President Assad | :08:21. | :08:31. | |
Syria, at least pictured and some common ground there. That is | :08:32. | :08:33. | |
something that Moscow has been working towards for some time. | :08:34. | :08:35. | |
Certainly the Syrian Foreign Minister will be here tomorrow | :08:36. | :08:37. | |
meeting with the Russian Foreign Minister. Russia has been pushing | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
for a political solution inside Syria and the problem is over recent | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
months about how the sides see that. I think it is important to point out | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
that Russia has been stressing that it is not wedded to President Assad | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
as the only possible solution in Syria. It has been saying quite | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
clearly that there needs to be a transition there and that President | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
Assad can go. That brings Russia closer to the position of the West | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
if you like and of the French President who previously said that | :09:11. | :09:12. | |
there was no way that President Assad could stay in power because he | :09:13. | :09:19. | |
has been described as a rallying force for jihadist inside Syria. | :09:20. | :09:21. | |
Position seem to have come together in terms of the future of President | :09:22. | :09:28. | |
Assad but it is to move towards any kind of peace and to decide who will | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
be around the negotiating table for any kind kind of political talks. As | :09:33. | :09:39. | |
world leaders talk about Syria and intensifying the air campaign | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
against IS, a big question remains about what follows. I heard from our | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
chief international correspondent that it is doubted that an air | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
campaign without ground troops can succeed. There has been an air | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
campaign for the past year. It has made a difference in the sense that | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
the Pentagon says that 20,000 members of the so-called Islamic | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
State have been killed including top commanders. They had taken some | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
territory but they have not pushed back Islamic State. The head of the | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
campaign said it is a battle of ideas and the idea of Islamic State | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
is no less brilliant for those who want to follow, its brutal tactics | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
and anti-American and Arab state rhetoric. What can we do? You cannot | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
win from the air, the air campaign is not intensive enough and they | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
have not been hitting and they have not been hitting enough all at the? | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
It is more intensive since the Paris attacks and the Russian airliner was | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
brought down. You need boots on the ground but who will lay the? Western | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
countries do not want boots on the ground but Arab states have not been | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
lining up. The problem is everyone has a different enemy. Yes Islamic | :10:48. | :11:08. | |
State is an enemy of all, but are lot of the Arab Gulf leaders are | :11:09. | :11:10. | |
saying we are more worried about Iran and Yemen. Our battles are | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
there. They are engaged in the war in Yemen. Turkey is worried about | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
the Kurds. This is it. I spoke to some senior American officials and | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
said who are you going to use? They said the Kurdish fighters who have | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
been affected against IS on the Turkish border. If the Kurdish | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
forces move down, Turkey is going to protest about that as will other | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
opposition groups who are very well armed, because it is not just | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
Islamic State on the battlefield, there are a number of groups linked | :11:34. | :11:41. | |
to Al-Qaeda as well as the so-called moderates. Religious tolerance, that | :11:42. | :11:47. | |
is what Pope Francis is calling for as he continues his tour of Africa. | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
He held a mass at the university of Nairobi amid tight security with | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
police and soldiers deployed and he met Muslim and Christian leaders in | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
Kenya. Our correspondent reports from Nairobi. There was an energetic | :12:01. | :12:09. | |
welcome for Pope Francis, despite the heavy rain and tight security, | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
which limited the number of people gathering for a mass at the | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
university of Nairobi. Thousands came to hear him speak, but not the | :12:17. | :12:23. | |
1.5 million bikini and government have been predicting. Does | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
nation-macro I am happy for the Pope to be in Africa and Kenya for the | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
first time. He has chosen the right time to be here were we are facing a | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
lot of challenges, corruption being one of them. It is his first trip to | :12:38. | :12:44. | |
Africa, Kenya is just the first stop in the three country pilgrimage | :12:45. | :12:50. | |
which will also take into Uganda and the Central African Republic. He was | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
received by the President and went on to make a live address, televised | :12:56. | :13:05. | |
the nation. All men and women of good will are called to walk for | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
reconciliation and peace. It was a theme that continued in his early | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
morning meeting with religious leaders from different faiths. He | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
made reference to the attacks by Islamist extremists in Kenya and | :13:20. | :13:25. | |
urged that religion not be used to justify hate and violence. He used | :13:26. | :13:35. | |
his master talk about family values, a popular theme in line with the | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
Conservative views of the African Catholic churches and he spoke to | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
the excesses of corruption. It has been 20 years since a Pope last came | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
to Kenya. Pope John Paul II came here and a lot has changed in the | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
world since then. Today the messages are about preventing young people | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
from being radicalised, about tolerance of religions and about | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
climate change. Just days before the Paris conference, he used his | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
longest speech of the day and his strongest words to address the | :14:07. | :14:13. | |
United Nations on climate change. TRANSLATION: We are confronted with | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
a choice that cannot be ignored, either to improve or destroy the | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
environment. Pope Francis will be visiting a slum and speaking at a | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
sports stadium on Friday before heading on to the next leg of his | :14:25. | :14:34. | |
trip to Uganda. As the Pope is very aware, diplomats and climate experts | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
are arriving in Paris next week the back key UN conference on climate | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
change. They will not be far from a country were global warming is | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
materialised in front of our eyes. Scientist warned that all of the | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
large masses of ice in the Swiss Alps will have almost vanished by | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
the end of the century if greenhouse emissions continue to rise at | :14:54. | :14:59. | |
current rates. Doctor David Vulcan explains why he believes the world | :15:00. | :15:00. | |
should be paying more attention. Hi. I'm an expert. Do not switch | :15:01. | :15:23. | |
off. Over the next couple of minutes I'm going to explain to you how this | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
great mass of ice behind me is melting at an alarming rate and why | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
the planet -- the people at the climate conference in Paris must sit | :15:36. | :15:42. | |
up and pay attention. So, let us start by looking at how this play | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
she has receded. This village is currently below but they sure but in | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
1600, the eyes came all the way to this point. By 1856 it had melted | :15:53. | :15:59. | |
back around 300 metres and by 2010 it had receded by around 2000 | :16:00. | :16:05. | |
metres, all the way up to the off the rock on the mountain you can see | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
here. This photo taking in 1890, look again, now nothing is left but | :16:12. | :16:21. | |
a scar in the rock. So, what happens to all the melting ice? Take a look | :16:22. | :16:30. | |
at this. The glacial lake, it formed over the last ten years and holds 10 | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
million litres of water, water that will add to the rising global sea | :16:36. | :16:51. | |
levels. You can hear water. So much water here. You can see here, a lot | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
of water at the beginning of November, it is not normal, it is | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
crazy. Here you can see, face-to-face, the climate change. | :17:02. | :17:12. | |
So, in conclusion, areas will have almost vanished by the end of the | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
century. Also diplomats in Paris will not be able to reverse rising | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
temperatures. They must negotiate a new agreement to cope with the | :17:23. | :17:25. | |
consequences of our changing climate. As part of the BBC's 100 | :17:26. | :17:35. | |
women season today we are looking at the issue of child marriage and we | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
are meeting one young woman in Zambia who was forced into marriage | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
at 15 to a man who was 20 years older, despite years of abuse, she | :17:44. | :17:49. | |
does manage to change her life and this is her story. I am a child | :17:50. | :18:00. | |
marriage survive. I got married off by my father at the age of 15. This | :18:01. | :18:10. | |
is a district in Zambia. At that time, my father was experiencing | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
financial troubles and then he thought marrying me off would at | :18:16. | :18:20. | |
least be able to give him something to quench the problem that he was | :18:21. | :18:28. | |
going through. My payment was about 300 in our currency. That was my | :18:29. | :18:40. | |
bride price. By now it can be around 30 US dollars. I was married off, I | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
had to drop out of school and join my husband who was 20 years older | :18:45. | :18:54. | |
than me. My life in the hands of Batman was very miserable, because | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
he's subjected me to a number of abuses. Physical, emotional and | :18:58. | :19:00. | |
sexual. Sexual urges, he used to abuses. Physical, emotional and | :19:01. | :19:12. | |
painful. I resigned myself to abuses. Physical, emotional and | :19:13. | :19:17. | |
kind of life because I did not know what to do. This tradition puts us | :19:18. | :19:27. | |
down. You are taught never to raise your voice against a man, whether | :19:28. | :19:35. | |
they are treating you well or not. You are told to keep everything, | :19:36. | :19:40. | |
what ever you are going to -- went through, the beatings, whatever | :19:41. | :19:42. | |
you're going through in the matrimonial highs, you do not | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
disclose it to any person. You keep it to yourself, the moment I went | :19:47. | :19:54. | |
back to school, I saw, whatever may be, I was suffering because I did | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
not have an education. I really used to admire people who did. For that | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
reason, I thought, if I can have an education, what ever I am going | :20:05. | :20:07. | |
through right now, would come to an end. I wanted to go back to school. | :20:08. | :20:17. | |
I thought when I had an education, it would be better. He intensified | :20:18. | :20:24. | |
the abuse. He stripped me naked, beat the naked outside world by | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
everyone in the community would see. You hold a lot of talks to talk | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
about child marriage to a lot of people, what do you tell them? I | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
tell them about the dangers of child marriage. I for one, despite being a | :20:39. | :20:46. | |
survivor now, I was a child mother. I was a mother at the age of 15. I | :20:47. | :20:55. | |
had a prolonged and very painful Labour which had not been for the | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
intervention of God, I would have lost my life and the life of my | :21:01. | :21:06. | |

appeared to mark a reporter US is offering Donald Trump after he | :21:27. | :21:32. | |
disability during a speech. He challenged recollections by a New | :21:33. | :21:36. | |
York Times journalist who has a condition that affects the movement | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
of his joints about the 9/11 aftermath. He has made | :21:41. | :21:42. | |
unsubstantiated aftermath. He has made | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
thousands of Muslims in New Jersey were seen celebrating the attack. | :21:47. | :21:53. | |
The Washington Post writes, an article, and one of the paragraphs, | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
it says, and by the way this was right after September the 11th, it | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
was September the 18th and right after, an amazing thing, right after | :22:03. | :22:08. | |
a couple of good paragraphs, talking about Northern New Jersey, draws the | :22:09. | :22:14. | |
eye, and neither per, you have to say this guy, I do not know what I | :22:15. | :22:23. | |
said, I do not remember. This was 14 years ago, they did not do a | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
retraction! 14 years ago, they did no retraction. Kathleen Hawkins are | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
journalist with the BBC disability unit told me that his behaviour is | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
simply ignorant. I think this is incredibly reductive behaviour from | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
Donald Trump. He is talking about a respected journalist, someone who | :22:42. | :22:44. | |
has won a Pulitzer prize, worked for a number of newspapers and he is | :22:45. | :22:49. | |
highlighting his disability as his defining feature. In his biography, | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
he does not mention his disability. He is very respected, and esteemed | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
journalist known for his work. I think if there was a personal | :23:00. | :23:02. | |
attack, Donald Trump should have focused on the journalism angle and | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
not the disability. When we thought about having this chart with you, we | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
thought should we draw attention to the remarks but do you feel it is | :23:11. | :23:13. | |
necessary for Donald Trump to be called out and for this to be spoken | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
about? I think if there was any good thing to come out of this kind of | :23:19. | :23:46. | |
behaviour it has been that people are vocally saying, this is not | :23:47. | :23:48. | |
acceptable in the modern society. It has been on social media all day and | :23:49. | :23:51. | |
widely shared and people are saying, this is not acceptable, parents of | :23:52. | :23:53. | |
disabled children say they are seeing this and look how it can | :23:54. | :23:56. | |
trickle down. How would my child feel if this happened to them? It is | :23:57. | :23:59. | |
so damaging because he is a public figure. He is a celebrity and he has | :24:00. | :24:01. | |
been seen by millions doing theirs. That is an important point to make, | :24:02. | :24:04. | |
he is a public figure and he is someone that a lot of people do see | :24:05. | :24:07. | |
and be picked up on his characteristics. It is not the first | :24:08. | :24:10. | |
time we have seen people in this position do these kind of things | :24:11. | :24:12. | |
about disabled people, John Lennon, there was footage of him in the | :24:13. | :24:15. | |
1960s, mocking people with learning disabilities and comments were | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
coming out about how this is unacceptable now. 50 years on from | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
that, you would think that would be more awareness, do we know how the | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
journalist has reacted? He said he is not surprised by Donald Trump's | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
behaviour and whether that is linked to personal feelings towards Donald | :24:34. | :24:37. | |
Trump and history there, that is unclear at the moment. I spoke to a | :24:38. | :24:50. | |
charity and they said it is not just outdated and outrageous, it is | :24:51. | :24:52. | |
bullying, disco monetary and extremely damaging and promotes | :24:53. | :24:54. | |
prejudice. Is it ever acceptable to call attention in the way that | :24:55. | :24:58. | |
Donald Trump as to disability like this? I think if you are in a | :24:59. | :25:07. | |
trusted group of friends and you know that is going to be acceptable | :25:08. | :25:11. | |
and received OK, then perhaps it would be OK, but for Donald Trump to | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
do this as someone who is in this position of authority and to do it | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
in such an mocking and comedic way is very irresponsible. Kathleen | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
Hawkins. Ever since Sebastien Coe became the President of world | :25:27. | :25:30. | |
athletics he has faced questions over his ambassadorial role with | :25:31. | :25:33. | |
Nikkei. He denied any potential conflict of interest but he has | :25:34. | :25:36. | |
announced that he is stepping back from the role. Lord Coe denied any | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
wrongdoing but he said the issue had become a distraction at a news | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
conference in Monaco, he insisted he wanted to focus on the issues that | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
currently face the world of athletics. You can get a lot more on | :25:49. | :25:56. | |
