:02:21. > :02:28.Iran, it has not been a big surprise because even know relationships are
:02:29. > :02:32.not very strong -- the Foreign Minister in Iran said he was very
:02:33. > :02:39.hopeful they could improve their relations and maybe have some
:02:40. > :02:49.ambassadors very soon in Riyadh. But with this new update it is not a

:02:53. > :02:57.have not had a very good religion ship. You are right. Also, we have
:02:58. > :03:04.heard from Iran in the last few days -- good relationship. What do you
:03:05. > :03:13.think Iran will do next? It has also been a matter of domestic politics
:03:14. > :03:19.in recent days. Hardliners accuse governments and the reformers of
:03:20. > :03:23.being soft. They want harsher rhetoric, partial words from the
:03:24. > :03:27.government about Saudi Arabia. They also accuse some of the reformist

:04:27. > :04:31.you expect their reaction to this to be? After the raid on the Saudi

:07:59. > :08:01.a couple of months ago. Well, now in this
:08:02. > :08:03.video we have this new individual, who appears
:08:04. > :08:06.to want to take up the mantle of Jihadi John as executioner
:08:07. > :08:09.and propagandist in chief when it The authorities no doubt

:08:14. > :08:16.are saying they are aware They will be trying to work
:08:17. > :08:19.out exactly who he is. The second notable feature is,
:08:20. > :08:22.quite chillingly, at the very end of the video there is
:08:23. > :08:24.just a short section of a child, perhaps about five years
:08:25. > :08:30.old, talking very briefly, apparently again
:08:31. > :08:33.in a British accent. We do know that some families have

:18:05. > :18:11.The way I played after the second new ball was to set the whole thing

:19:08. > :19:13.tendency to be complacent, and then it is difficult, and we have to get
:19:14. > :19:16.back and wonder why we were champions, why the team were
:19:17. > :19:21.champions. Trying to emphasise on that, everyone got a bit two steps
:19:22. > :19:26.back to make three steps forward... Everton and Tottenham drew 1-1

:21:51. > :21:59.on top - he was hungry. But in four days with the goat,
:22:00. > :22:02.he did not eat him. So we said, OK, this
:22:03. > :22:06.is Timur the Brave. And the two have been living,
:22:07. > :22:08.playing and sleeping side by side, Timur the goat has four shelters,
:22:09. > :22:25.but at night he sleeps If he leaves, Amur roars
:22:26. > :22:32.and calls him back. Timur comes and the
:22:33. > :22:39.tiger calms down. If he wants, the tiger
:22:40. > :22:43.could eat Timur in seconds. It's friendship.
:22:44. > :22:53.him a million times. The goat shows his character,
:22:54. > :22:56.his braveness, and the tiger said, OK, I respect that,
:22:57. > :23:09.let's be friends. This is hunter and prey living
:23:10. > :23:14.together in peace and happiness. We humans fight, kill
:23:15. > :23:18.and trick one another. But look at this, it is
:23:19. > :23:29.an example for humanity. For now, there is no
:23:30. > :23:32.reason to separate them. If the situation changes,
:23:33. > :23:34.we can decide, but this is not just We still feed Amur live prey twice
:23:35. > :23:48.a week, but we don't give him goats any more,
:23:49. > :23:58.out of respect for Timur. Jumping off the side of a cliff
:23:59. > :24:03.wearing nothing but a winged suit may not sound like everyone's idea
:24:04. > :24:06.of fun, but it's an increasingly It goes without saying that it can
:24:07. > :24:11.be dangerous indeed, but these
:24:12. > :24:12.wingsuit enthusiasts insist Wingsuit base jumping is a sport
:24:13. > :24:25.of jumping off a cliff on top of a mountain wearing a suit
:24:26. > :24:28.with wings on it and once we jump off, it inflates and we are able
:24:29. > :24:31.to fly down the mountain and land We have the same curvature and top
:24:32. > :24:41.surface camber and all the design features you would find it a normal
:24:42. > :24:49.aeroplane wing scaled down When we jump from the cliff,
:24:50. > :24:52.you can see the air start It creates that duel
:24:53. > :25:02.surface wing and off we go. It is basically a ram
:25:03. > :25:05.air wing design. Wingsuit base jumping definitely
:25:06. > :25:08.looks dangerous, but what you don't see when you look at it is all
:25:09. > :25:11.the training and preparation People don't just arrive at the edge
:25:12. > :25:15.of the cliff and jump off There are years of training
:25:16. > :25:25.in a skydiving environment. Learning to fly parachutes and to
:25:26. > :25:30.fly without your body in freefall. And finally learning to fly
:25:31. > :25:33.the wingsuit and bringing all those The number of jumps completed
:25:34. > :25:37.safely is astounding. There are several thousand people
:25:38. > :25:40.around the world who jump regularly, And, yeah, people do up to hundreds
:25:41. > :25:55.of jumps year without incident. Definitely not for me, thanks very
:25:56. > :26:01.much! That is it from me and all of the team here at Bbc World News.
:26:02. > :26:12.Thank you for watching. Do stay with us. Goodbye.
