:07:02. > :07:07.unpopularity of his government in society is still a reality for

:12:46. > :12:49.several books, an agenda for peace in his own memoirs. An early-morning
:12:50. > :12:52.type, like myself. And I found him very easy to work with on a
:12:53. > :12:58.one-to-one basis when he called me in connection with human resources
:12:59. > :13:03.or worldwide. But he spoke truth to power and of course, in the context
:13:04. > :13:07.of the Security Council and the P five, I mean, the veto powers,
:13:08. > :13:10.Britain included, and the United States, that made things difficult
:13:11. > :13:17.for him, because truth to power is often difficult to provide. Do you
:13:18. > :13:22.think that indirectly, that was what led to him not serving a second term
:13:23. > :13:27.as Secretary-General? Absolutely, he was simply too outspoken. He didn't
:13:28. > :13:33.let his integrity become damaged. He said exactly what he felt was right,
:13:34. > :13:36.as was his obligation, I would say, under the UN Charter, as
:13:37. > :13:42.Secretary-General, but the member states, and particularly the P5,
:13:43. > :13:47.London and Washington, were not happy with some of the statement and
:13:48. > :13:49.his dedication to peace, or peaceful means or non-violent solutions to
:13:50. > :13:53.problems got him into trouble, clearly. We just mentioned some of

:14:56. > :15:00.both trains were, we're told, allowed by this controller on
:15:01. > :15:03.that track, travelling towards
:15:04. > :15:06.each other at speed. Now the controller, it is said,
:15:07. > :15:09.delivered some kind of wrong signal, which opened the track to both
:15:10. > :15:13.trains. tried to send a warning to both
:15:14. > :15:18.drivers - that warning, of course, appears to have
:15:19. > :15:21.come too late and resulted in what prosecutors described as
:15:22. > :15:25."catastrophic consequences". Interestingly, they don't believe
:15:26. > :15:28.the man, who is 39 and said to have been pretty experienced, he finished
:15:29. > :15:32.his training at the end of the '90s, they say they don't believe he
:15:33. > :15:35.caused this crash on purpose, but they have now opened a criminal
:15:36. > :15:42.investigation into him. We are told that he faces a charge
:15:43. > :15:46.of involuntary manslaughter, If he is found guilty,
:15:47. > :15:51.it carries a maximum penalty On the day it happened, I spoke to a
:15:52. > :15:57.man in one of the carriages. He described really the most
:15:58. > :15:59.harrowing scenes, which he said to me will stay with him forever,
:16:00. > :16:02.understandably. He said he was sat there, there was
:16:03. > :16:07.a sudden sound like an explosion. He said people were flying through
:16:08. > :16:09.the carriages, I saw the wreckage myself and it was
:16:10. > :16:16.a pretty unpleasant sight. You can only imagine what it must
:16:17. > :16:19.have been like to have been right at the front of the trains
:16:20. > :16:21.when they collided. The death toll has stood at 11
:16:22. > :16:24.people, but this shocked Germany, because Germany is a country with a
:16:25. > :16:27.pretty good safety record There have been fatal crashes
:16:28. > :16:35.before, but it happens rarely. And of course, people put their
:16:36. > :16:38.faith in a modern system, a railway where signals and, for example,
:16:39. > :16:43.pieces of equipment are in place to stop this kind of accident from
:16:44. > :16:48.happening. So I think from the beginning people
:16:49. > :16:50.suspected that human error Today is the first time we have had
:16:51. > :16:54.that officially confirmed by The band Eagles of Death Metal
:16:55. > :17:02.return to Paris today to play a concert, just three
:17:03. > :17:05.months after the Paris attacks. They were the band performing
:17:06. > :17:08.at the Bataclan music hall when it was attacked by terrorists
:17:09. > :17:10.in November. The band joined U2 on stage in Paris

:17:23. > :17:25.of survivors of the attacks. The concert will be held at the
:17:26. > :17:29.Olympia Theatre in Paris. The Bataclan music hall
:17:30. > :17:33.remains closed. has been speaking
:17:34. > :17:37.to French television. He said that the events
:17:38. > :17:39.of last November had confirmed his
:17:40. > :17:42.pro-gun views - saying that it was only the armed
:17:43. > :17:44.security forces who were able He also described how he is still
:17:45. > :17:49.haunted by the events of that night I can't really control it and I
:17:50. > :18:06.don't know where it's coming from That's one of the things that the
:18:07. > :18:10.strangest about this. I haven't had any nightmares and
:18:11. > :18:14.I've slept fine, but when I'm awake is when I see things that are
:18:15. > :18:16.nightmares, you know? And I thought that talking about it
:18:17. > :18:19.would make it easier. Expelling it from inside of me
:18:20. > :18:26.would make me less like this, There's really no frame of reference
:18:27. > :18:29.for this at all. On the streets of Paris today,
:18:30. > :18:36.one of the fans who survived the November attack talked about
:18:37. > :18:42.this evening's concert. TRANSLATION: It's lots of feelings,
:18:43. > :18:45.since the date of the concert Since we heard they were coming back
:18:46. > :18:50.and they were going to play here at the Olympia, we have been preparing
:18:51. > :18:52.ourselves psychologically. We have been wondering what it's
:18:53. > :18:54.going to be like. We have moments of joy because we
:18:55. > :18:59.are really happy to be here because we think of the people who
:19:00. > :19:04.are not here at the same time. I have a real physical need to
:19:05. > :19:07.attend this concert tonight. It's part of the reconstruction
:19:08. > :19:11.process. Colin Paterson is at the
:19:12. > :19:24.Olympia Theatre in Paris. All the survivors of the Bataclan
:19:25. > :19:29.show have been invited tonight and in fact, they have been allowed into
:19:30. > :19:31.the gig early. The band are fully aware that for
:19:32. > :19:35.many of them, this will be the first time they have gone to a concert
:19:36. > :19:39.since that night. So the band invited those fans into
:19:40. > :19:42.the gig an hour ago. Part of the reason was just to let
:19:43. > :19:46.them get acclimatise to the venue. We believe the band may actually
:19:47. > :19:49.come out and meet those fans early and also there are psychologists on
:19:50. > :19:52.hand tonight in case people do feel panic attacks, want to talk to
:19:53. > :19:55.someone about the experience, so it And what the band said since those
:19:56. > :20:10.that I have ever been to before. And what the band said since those
:20:11. > :20:14.terrible events on that night in November about what happened? The
:20:15. > :20:18.band started this tour on Saturday night in Sweden and moved to Norway.
:20:19. > :20:21.They had yesterday off to prepare for this and gave some interviews in
:20:22. > :20:25.the French press where they have spoken about how they are still
:20:26. > :20:28.traumatised, the front man Jesse Hughes says every time he wakes up,
:20:29. > :20:32.it is the first thing he thinks about. He has also made some
:20:33. > :20:36.comments about his belief that the right to bear arms should be given
:20:37. > :20:41.to all. He says he does not believe the attack would have been a bad if
:20:42. > :20:45.people -- as bad if people had the right to bear arms at the concert,
:20:46. > :20:49.quite controversial views, but they say tonight is a continuation of
:20:50. > :20:53.what they see as an interrupted night back in November. They want to

:24:32. > :24:36.embattled Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk has survived a
:24:37. > :24:42.Parliamentary no-confidence vote in his government. It is only hours
:24:43. > :24:47.after the president asked him to stand down, despite criticising the
:24:48. > :24:50.Government's record, only 194 MPs voted in support of the
:24:51. > :24:56.no-confidence motion, but it was short of the 226 vote required for
:24:57. > :25:01.its approval. The president, Petro Poroshenko, earlier called on
:25:02. > :25:05.Arseniy Yatsenyuk to resign, saying he had lost public trust in his
:25:06. > :25:10.ability to fight corruption and overcome Ukraine's deep economic
:25:11. > :25:20.crisis. And in Syria, the other story we are focusing on, the United

:25:29. > :25:31.Minister in Damascus, Staffan de Mistura said this commitment would
:25:32. > :25:35.be tested tomorrow. A UN spokesman says the Syrian government has
:25:36. > :25:44.approved access to seven besieged areas, including in the east and
:25:45. > :25:50.near Damascus. Several other towns and villages that recently received
:25:51. > :25:55.aid where residents face starvation, such as Madaya, are on the list.
