This is BBC World News Today with me, Chris Rogers. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Political turmoil in Brazil as a judge overturns | :00:07. | :00:10. | |
the cabinet appointment of Lula da Silva. | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
It comes just hours after the former president was sworn into the post. | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
it's alleged he accepted the role to avoid prosecution for corruption. | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
The US Secretary of State, John Kerry, accuses the so-called | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
Islamic State group of committing genocide | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
Daesh is genocidal by self proclamation, by ideology and by | :00:29. | :00:45. | |
actions. What it says, what it believes and what it does. | :00:46. | :00:47. | |
Can the EU and Turkey finally agree a way to tackle | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
We have a special report it on the fight against Boko Haram in | :00:51. | :01:00. | |
Cameroon. And no more killer whales | :01:01. | :01:06. | |
at SeaWorld as the American theme park company announces it's | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
ending its breeding programme. Brazil's former president | :01:09. | :01:15. | |
Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has been suspended from his government job | :01:16. | :01:17. | |
just hours after taking He'd been given the post of chief | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
of staff by the woman who succeeded him as president, | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
his ally Dilma Rousseff. But shortly after he signed | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
the paperwork, than a judge ruled that a federal investigation | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
into government corruption could be In Brazil, cabinet members can | :01:33. | :01:34. | |
only be investigated by the Supreme Court, | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
not by federal courts. Lula is under investigation | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
in connection with a corruption Lula's appointment has divided | :01:42. | :01:43. | |
Brazil, and there have been days of protests since news | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
of his appointment broke While the signing ceremony took | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
place, there were noisy demonstrations for and against | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
Lula's outside the presidential Hundreds of people at are here | :01:55. | :02:15. | |
outside demonstrating to show their support for the president and for | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
Lula, defending his reputation. They are chanting, Lula is a fighter. | :02:20. | :02:26. | |
CHANTING. But other groups are protesting | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
against the government. They are calling for the impeachment of | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
President Dilma Rousseff and they very are angry at the appointment of | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
former President Lula to government. They say it is an attempt to shield | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
charges against him. He faces corruption allegations and they see | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
this as a way to grant him special privileges to avoid his being | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
charged by regular tribunal 's. These people have come to Parliament | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
here where President Dilma Rousseff is based, and lots of tension is | :02:55. | :03:03. | |
building up in the streets of Brasilia and other parts of Brazil | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
with this escalating political crisis. | :03:07. | :03:08. | |
Adding to the latest twist in the corruption investigation, | :03:09. | :03:10. | |
a judge made public a taped phone conversation | :03:11. | :03:12. | |
between President Rousseff and Lula, which has been interpreted by some | :03:13. | :03:14. | |
to show that Lula was given the post of chief of staff | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
I had been speaking to Camilla Coster from BBC Brazil about the | :03:18. | :04:14. | |
significance of that phone call between President Rousseff and | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
Lula. Supporters have been saying this call doesn't prove anything, | :04:18. | :04:24. | |
and the government is saying, we were trying to find a new plan for | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
the possibility that he wasn't able to attend the ceremony all was going | :04:28. | :04:34. | |
to be sworn in as chief of staff. Then government critics say this | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
conversation shows signs that the President Dilma Rousseff was trying | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
to obstruct investigations against former President Lula Da Silva, | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
because once he becomes the chief of staff, he can only be prosecuted, be | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
judged, by the Supreme Court, not by Federal Justice. And obviously an | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
investigation is needed into that taped conversation, no doubt there | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
will be won. But what about the wider investigation into government | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
corruption, that puts the current and former presidents in a very | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
difficult situation. Guess, operation Car wash, as it is called, | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
a major corruption investigation that has been going on for two | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
years. They have started investigating a scheme to secure | :05:22. | :05:28. | |
contracts in Brazil's oil state company for Brazil's top | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
construction companies by giving kickbacks and bribes to top | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
government officials. Now, President Dilma Rousseff hasn't been | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
officially accused of corruption in that investigation yet, but | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
President Lula is under investigation in connection to that, | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
so this has been a big destabilising factor in President Dilma Rousseff's | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
government, but we do have to bear in mind that there is a legal side | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
and the political side to this. On the legal side, how the | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
investigation will move on, who will be accused and prosecuted, then you | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
have obviously the political side. The impeachment process that | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
Congress moves to start against President Dilma Rousseff is very | :06:15. | :06:16. | |
much a political process, so all of President Dilma Rousseff is very | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
this as two are very unstable situation at the moment. | :06:21. | :06:22. | |
The US Secretary of State, John Kerry, has accused co called | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
Daesh is genocidal by self as Americans refer to them - | :06:26. | :06:38. | |
Daesh is genocidal by self proclamation, by ideology, and by | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
actions. In what it says, what it believes and what it does. Daesh is | :06:44. | :06:50. | |
also responsible for crimes against humanity and ethnic cleansing, | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
directed at the same groups, and in some cases also against Sunni | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
Muslims, Kurds and other minorities. Let's get some reaction to this. | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
With me is Bishop Angaelos, General Bishop of the Coptic | :07:03. | :07:04. | |
What difference do the words of John Kerry make to the situation that | :07:05. | :07:13. | |
millions of Christians are experiencing in the Middle East? I | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
think it is a recognition of what a lot of people are going through, and | :07:18. | :07:24. | |
as this has proven, it is Christians as much as Muslim communities. I | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
returned from Washington last week and there was a lot of rallying. The | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
concern was there was going to be genocide declared against Yazidis | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
but not Christians, which I think would have caused greater | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
persecution because it would see the international community not | :07:42. | :07:43. | |
supporting them as much, but at least this recognises the suffering | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
of all, because at the end of the day it is happening in the same | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
time, by the same people in the same way. But many governments, in | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
particular the British government, do not acknowledge persecution of | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
Christianity. They do on a case-by-case basis but not of the | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
general situation. Could that no change, because it doesn't help | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
people seeking asylum, running for their lives in many cases, to other | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
countries. What we are seeing happening in Iraq have thrown out | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
the rule book. What we have seen us persecution over the past decades | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
doesn't come near what we are seeing now, more systematic, ruthless, | :08:20. | :08:27. | |
medieval practice that takes us back millennium. The fact that the EU and | :08:28. | :08:34. | |
US have declared genocide I hope will be an encouragement for Her | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
Majesty's government to do the same. There is a big group of | :08:39. | :08:40. | |
parliamentarians working on this at the moment, and we hope that in the | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
same way, it is a way of declaring but also reassuring the people there | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
that we feel their pain, we understand what they are going | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
through. That helps, perhaps, Christians in the Middle East, but | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
what about Christians being persecuted in other parts of the | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
world such as Pakistan, we know there is a problem there. I think | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
the recognition of persecution in one place makes it a model you can | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
apply as a measuring point. So if we see the same thing happening in the | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
same way, of course if it is declared as persecution on one end | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
it must be on the other. It is undeniable that there is | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
persecution, and other Christian and a Christian minister I am not just | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
advocating for Christians, because I think there is an essential sanctity | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
of life issue, and importance and dignity of life that we need to look | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
up for everyone, whether Christians, Muslims or other religions, if we | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
had to look at each person's intrinsic freedom to follow his or | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
her faith, we need to look across the board, and therefore, if we do | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
that collaboratively, we are able to hope other people. Bishop Angaelos, | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
thank you for giving us your reaction and insight. | :09:56. | :09:57. | |
Fresh efforts to tackle the large numbers of people trying to reach | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
Europe by sea are being debated by EU leaders in Brussels. | :10:01. | :10:02. | |
The proposed plan would see migrants arriving in Greece | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
But Turkey wants a number of concessions from the EU, | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
including a guarantee that its membership bid | :10:09. | :10:10. | |
The number of migrants waiting at the Greece-Macedonia border has | :10:11. | :10:19. | |
already reached around 15,000, after countries further north | :10:20. | :10:21. | |
The German Chancellor Angela Merkel says she's optimistic but cautious | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
Damian Grammaticas joins us now from Brussels. | :10:26. | :10:35. | |
A lot of optimism but what makes this summit different from all the | :10:36. | :10:42. | |
others over the last year? I think what makes it different is the | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
knowledge and the scenes on the ground in Greece at that northern | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
border with Macedonia, where you have 15,000 people camped, unable to | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
move further forward, while more are still arriving on the Greek islands. | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
European leaders know they need some sort of solution, or the situation | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
on the ground in Greece will deteriorate further. There is a bit | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
of optimism and a lot of realism going into the talks now, leaders | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
are just sitting down to dinner, where this will be the topic of | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
discussion, and the difficulties they have are many. There are legal | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
difficulties about whether this plan will accord with international or | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
human rights law, there have been many criticisms about that because | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
of the idea of taking all the people who arrive in Greece, migrants, | :11:31. | :11:39. | |
refugees, whoever, returning them to Turkey, because EU human rights law | :11:40. | :11:41. | |
says they must all be given an individual hearing into their case, | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
so there is a legal difficulty, a practical difficulty, Greece doesn't | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
have the capacity to hold them to process and return them at the | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
minute, and there is a political difficulty which is striking a deal | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
with Turkey, giving it concessions such as speeding up these free | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
access to the EU, speeding up those accession talks to the EU. Many | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
European countries are anxious about being seen to make concessions to | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
Turkey at a time when there are real concerns about the direction of | :12:10. | :12:16. | |
human rights into geeks and press freedoms, and the government of | :12:17. | :12:18. | |
Cyprus. EU with an unresolved conflict with Turpie Turkey, Turkish | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
troops on the island, Turkey doesn't recognise the government of Cyprus | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
and the want a Mac says that has to change before it can happen, so many | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
parts of this equation need to fall into place. Many thanks. | :12:31. | :12:39. | |
The Office of the Attorney General in Switzerland says it's conducting | :12:40. | :12:41. | |
criminal proceedings against the former Fifa Secretary | :12:42. | :12:43. | |
The proceedings for "criminal mismanagement" follow allegations | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
made against Mr Valcke in connection with the investigation carried out | :12:47. | :12:48. | |
The prosecutors said on Thursday that they've conducted searches | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
and interviews, but no arrests have been made. | :12:53. | :12:54. | |
The Kurdish militant group TAK says it carried out a suicide bomb attack | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
in the capital, Ankara, on Sunday which killed 37 people. | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
TAK stands for the Kurdistan Freedom Hawks. | :13:02. | :13:03. | |
It claims the bombing, which took place in a busy | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
commercial district and transport hub of the city, was in revenge | :13:07. | :13:08. | |
for the government's continued military action in the south east | :13:09. | :13:11. | |
The BBC's Mark Lowen, who's in Istanbul, told us | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
It is basically disavowed its links with the PKK because it disagreed | :13:16. | :13:30. | |
with the PKK's attempts that these buyers etc, and it was much more | :13:31. | :13:38. | |
hardline -- attempt that ceasefires. It focuses more on civilian areas | :13:39. | :13:44. | |
while PKK attacks have focused more on military and governmental | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
targets. You can compare their relationship to the IRA and the Real | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
IRA, the latter more militant and more hardline. The government, | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
though, says they are the same organisation and that the PKK has | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
used alter ego is, aliases, to hide behind them and blur accountability | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
and protect the inner core of the PKK leadership. It comes down to | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
this attack on Sunday being carried out by Kurdish militants as we know, | :14:12. | :14:13. | |
with very devastating consequences. Cameroon has sentenced 89 members | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
of the Nigerian Islamist militant They were convicted by a military | :14:17. | :14:18. | |
court for their roles in several attacks in the co untry's north, | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
which borders Nigeria. The news comes as the Nigerian army | :14:24. | :14:25. | |
has been making headway in the fight against the group, leading | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
the militants ever closer At least 15,000 people have been | :14:30. | :14:31. | |
killed in the region by the group - which has been affiliated | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
with the so-called The BBC's Maud Jullien has this | :14:37. | :14:38. | |
exclusive report from Northern This camp in Cameroon is home to | :14:39. | :14:57. | |
nearly 50,000 people who fled violence across the border in | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
Nigeria. Naomi is one of them. She was kidnapped by the Islamist group | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
Boko Haram days after her baby was born and spent two months in | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
captivity before escaping. She says as long as you pretended to convert | :15:11. | :15:17. | |
to Islam they didn't harm you. TRANSLATION: We stayed and prayed | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
with them but we played tricks on them. They would cut your throat if | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
you disobeyed and especially if you are a man, they would cut your | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
throat if they didn't like you, and drink your blood. The militants took | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
Naomi to a cave in the mountain is. On the border between Nigeria and | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
Cameroon. As the threat has become regional, so has the response. Five | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
African countries are taking part in the fight against Boko Haram with | :15:45. | :15:52. | |
support from American troops. We are with the rapid interventional | :15:53. | :15:54. | |
brigade who have been at the forefront of the fight against Boko | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
Haram. This small village on the border with Nigeria was attacked | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
last month. Dozens of Boko Haram insurgents shot into the air and | :16:05. | :16:05. | |
looted shops. TRANSLATION: In this war, tactics are changing. | :16:06. | :16:19. | |
They are now pushing desperately at and is across the border to | :16:20. | :16:28. | |
resupply. Before 2014 they used to carry out huge attacks with vehicles | :16:29. | :16:34. | |
and heavy weapons, and we have no more such attacks. Why have you not | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
yet been able to fully defeat Boko Haram? Because very often they are | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
involved in the population, so you don't know who is Boko Haram. They | :16:45. | :16:49. | |
are people you live with in the daylight, but in the night, they | :16:50. | :16:55. | |
turn into terrorists. And it is here, in the cupboard maze of the | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
market, that it is difficult to tell who is who. Just this summer, | :17:01. | :17:03. | |
suicide blasts killed at least 20 people in the region's biggest city. | :17:04. | :17:10. | |
There were two suicide attacks here on the same day. A young girl | :17:11. | :17:13. | |
standing about where I am standing was wearing a large dress and a belt | :17:14. | :17:19. | |
full of explosives that she detonated, killing 17 people. Local | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
policemen investigated the attacks. They say the use of young girls is | :17:24. | :17:29. | |
becoming an alarming trend. TRANSLATION: The little girls were | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
explosive -- where explosives but they don't know what they are | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
carrying. They say they do not know what is in the belts, so there must | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
be someone else next to them detonating the explosives. Boko | :17:42. | :17:48. | |
Haram has been weakened in the last few months but it is a zillion. | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
Eyewitnesses have told the BBC militants are blending in with | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
refugees to cross the board while others are reorganising in huge | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
caves in the mountains. This is a new phase in the war against Boko | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
Haram and African armies will need to doubt. More than before it will | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
be about cross-border collaboration and gaining support from local | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
people. More Julian, BBC News, northern Cameroon. | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
South Africa's President Jacob Zuma has strongly denied allegations | :18:18. | :18:19. | |
that his cabinet appointments have been influenced by a wealthy family. | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
He's been facing questions in parliament about his relationship | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
with the Guptas - a story sparked when the country's | :18:26. | :18:27. | |
deputy finance minister, Mcebeesi Jonas claimed members | :18:28. | :18:29. | |
of the Gupta family had offered him his boss's job. | :18:30. | :18:31. | |
Mr Zuma was pressed on the issue by the opposition leader. | :18:32. | :18:45. | |
Mr President, Deputy Minister Mcebeesi Jonas has already confirmed | :18:46. | :18:55. | |
that the Gupta is offered him the position of Finance minister before | :18:56. | :19:03. | |
it was even offered to the Minister. It has become quite clear that power | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
no longer sits at the union building. In fact, worse, it does | :19:09. | :19:16. | |
not even sit at a house, it now sits there. | :19:17. | :19:17. | |
In response, President Zuma rejected suggestions that the Guptas had any | :19:18. | :19:20. | |
influence over government appointments. | :19:21. | :19:26. | |
I am in charge of the government, I am in charge, I point. In terms of | :19:27. | :19:34. | |
the Constitution, there is no minister who is here who was ever | :19:35. | :19:41. | |
appointed by the Gupta s or by anybody else. Ministers here were | :19:42. | :19:42. | |
appointed by me. CHEERING. Order. President Vladimir Putin has warned | :19:43. | :19:49. | |
that Russia could build up its military presence in Syria | :19:50. | :19:51. | |
"within hours" if needed, and urged all sides in the conflict | :19:52. | :19:54. | |
to respect a ceasefire. Most of the Russian forces in Syria | :19:55. | :19:56. | |
left the country earlier this week. A ceremony was held today | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
for returning servicemen. Our correspondent in Moscow, | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
Steve Rosenberg, reports. FANFARE. | :20:05. | :20:17. | |
He had already declared Russia's operation in Syria Mission | :20:18. | :20:20. | |
accomplished. Today bladder may and invited his troops to the Kremlin. | :20:21. | :20:26. | |
St George's all is where Russian Czar 's celebrated their military | :20:27. | :20:34. | |
victories. We have created the conditions for a peace process, the | :20:35. | :20:38. | |
president said. This road to peace was opened by you, the soldiers of | :20:39. | :20:47. | |
Russia, he said. There were words of comfort for the widows of four | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
Russian soldiers killed in Syria, and a pledge that the war against | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
terrorism will continue. Russia isn't pulling out all its troops. | :20:57. | :21:03. | |
And then the medals. Russian soldiers made Russian heroes. | :21:04. | :21:12. | |
APPLAUSE. So why all the pomp? Think of the | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
circumstantial. This is a country which lost an empire, the soviet | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
union, it lost the Cold War. That is why today the Kremlin is seeking new | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
heroes and new victories to send a message that Russia once again is a | :21:27. | :21:33. | |
great power. Two years ago Moscow's annexation of Crimea was condemned | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
by the West, but the Kremlin used it to spark a wave of patriotism across | :21:38. | :21:46. | |
Russia. Now, with Russian pilots returning as heroes, Syria is | :21:47. | :21:49. | |
portrayed as Russia's latest triumph. That is Moscow now too | :21:50. | :21:55. | |
reliant on seeking military success? We have switched from a country of | :21:56. | :22:01. | |
prosperity to a country of war, a country of permanent mobilisation, | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
and the authority needs new targets and new causes for the rally. If | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
Russia is now in a state of permanent mobilisation, you can | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
expect more patriotism at home and possibly more tension with the West. | :22:17. | :22:19. | |
Steve Rosenberg, BBC News, Moscow. In December, women in Saudi Arabia | :22:20. | :22:21. | |
were elected for the first time to municipal councils, | :22:22. | :22:24. | |
a step that was considered a landmark for women's rights | :22:25. | :22:27. | |
in the conservative kingdom. Since their election, | :22:28. | :22:30. | |
some female members of the councils It was an historic moment, | :22:31. | :22:33. | |
the first time Saudi women voted Women making it to local councils | :22:34. | :22:43. | |
was a huge step forward here. However, those who made it into this | :22:44. | :22:52. | |
building here in Jeddah haven't found it as smooth | :22:53. | :22:55. | |
as they were hoping. Rasha Hefzi is a successful | :22:56. | :23:03. | |
businesswoman who makes things But in the local council, | :23:04. | :23:05. | |
where she was recently elected, she was not welcome | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
to sit at the same table Segregation is still deeply rooted | :23:10. | :23:11. | |
in the culture here. But she is not short of | :23:12. | :23:19. | |
determination to bring about change. We've been used to that, | :23:20. | :23:25. | |
with other entities, and it is just about time | :23:26. | :23:27. | |
that it will change. Even when I used to go | :23:28. | :23:29. | |
to the council, I got acceptance from a few members in | :23:30. | :23:32. | |
the council, not all. But step-by-step we used to go | :23:33. | :23:39. | |
and sit with them and they used So I think it is about | :23:40. | :23:42. | |
time for change. 21 women were elected | :23:43. | :23:51. | |
for the municipal councils. Although the councils have little | :23:52. | :23:54. | |
powers, hopes were high that it was a landmark moment | :23:55. | :23:57. | |
in the process towards real change for women in a country | :23:58. | :23:59. | |
where inequalities still an issue. I think the election part | :24:00. | :24:07. | |
was shocking because it shows that when they are given the same chance, | :24:08. | :24:10. | |
they managed to come on equal parts. But in the only country that | :24:11. | :24:13. | |
bans women from driving, the question is - what has | :24:14. | :24:18. | |
really been achieved? TRANSLATION: I think a woman | :24:19. | :24:32. | |
being selected is a good step for our image in the world and it's | :24:33. | :24:34. | |
only windowdressing for the West. I believe the real change | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
will happen when I become Saudi Arabia has a guardianship | :24:39. | :24:40. | |
system, where women need their male relatives' permission | :24:41. | :24:50. | |
for their day-to-day life decisions. Many women are making noises to push | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
the wheel of change, but are still wondering | :24:55. | :24:57. | |
how far it can go. The US theme park company SeaWorld | :24:58. | :25:07. | |
has announced that it will no longer It said the current generation | :25:08. | :25:13. | |
of animals would be the last The company, which has a variety | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
of parks across the United States, has faced intense criticism | :25:18. | :25:20. | |
for keeping orcas in captivity after a documentary highlighted | :25:21. | :25:23. | |
the impact on the animals. SeaWorld said that instead | :25:24. | :25:25. | |
of running theatrical shows it would introduce what it called new, | :25:26. | :25:27. | |
natural encounters with the orcas. A court in Brazil has suspended | :25:28. | :25:38. | |
the appointment of the former President, Luiz Inacio Lula da | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
Silva, as chief of staff The court order in Brasilia came | :25:43. | :25:44. | |
shortly after Lula was sworn Lula's critics accuse him | :25:45. | :25:51. | |
of taking it to try Well, that's all from the programme. | :25:52. | :25:54. | |
Next, the weather. But for now, from me, | :25:55. | :25:57. | |
