This is BBC World News Today, broadcasting in the UK | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
Turkey insists that it will be ready to handle an increase in migrants | :00:08. | :00:14. | |
But amid protests against the plan our correspondent finds there's | :00:15. | :00:24. | |
Here, they are saying, not in my backyard and that no preparations | :00:25. | :00:36. | |
have been made for those who will be sent back here. | :00:37. | :00:38. | |
Brussels Airport prepares to reopen - almost two weeks | :00:39. | :00:40. | |
after being attacked by suicide bombers. | :00:41. | :00:41. | |
We'll explain why a flare up in fighting in a disputed region | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
of the Caucuses is making people so worried. | :00:45. | :00:52. | |
Tottenham Hotspur close the gap on leaders Leicester | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
in the English Premier League, but can only manage a draw | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
We see into the Pakistan's tea houses that are dominated by men, | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
There are concerns that neither Greece or Turkey are properly | :01:04. | :01:20. | |
prepared to begin the return of migrants from the Greek Islands | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
The deportations follow a EU agreement to try and stem the flow | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
of migrants into Europe from Syria and elsewhere.Our Correspondent Mark | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
Lowen has been to the town of Dikili in turkey where there | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
They came with a message of defiance. We don't want the migrants | :01:41. | :01:57. | |
back! The Turkish town of Dikili will see the first batch arrived on | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
Monday, deported from Lesbos. But locals object to any camp and have | :02:03. | :02:10. | |
vowed to resist. Here is a beautiful place, in Turkey. When they come | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
here, we are not in peaceful, because of this, we are here. And | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
they don't belong to year. They don't belong to Turkey. | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
TRANSLATION: . Our children feel uneasy. They can | :02:25. | :02:32. | |
take them somewhere else, we don't want them here. A burst of | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
patriotism, with talk of defending Turkey from another migrant influx. | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
The authorities say they will only stay in Dikili temporarily, before | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
being moved on. But that is not calming tempers. Patients with the | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
migrant crisis is wearing thin. Turkey already hosts 2.5 million | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
refugees, more than any other country. But here they are saying is | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
not in my backyard and that no preparations have been made for | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
those who will be sent back here. So where will the migrants be sent? It | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
was thought a registration centre could be set up in this spot. But no | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
sign. Once they are back, human rights group are concerned about how | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
they will be treated. Many Syrians already here work illegally, 500 of | :03:22. | :03:28. | |
the poorest eking out a living picking fruit. It's a sign of the | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
crisis Turkey faces even before tens of thousands more are deported from | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
Europe. There will be thousands sent back with the beautician -- | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
readmission agreement. From the east there will be more people and we | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
already hosting a huge number of people. It will be difficult for | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
Turkey to cope with this crisis. On Turkey's long post, boats part | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
with traces of dreams left behind. Those who depart believe it is a | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
one-way ticket to safety and a new life. But Europe's doors have | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
closed. They are heading back to Turkey, even if it not ready. | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
Five Turkish soldiers and one special forces police officer have | :04:14. | :04:15. | |
been killed in a bomb attack in the south east of the country, | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
province has been blamed on Kurdish militants, according | :04:20. | :04:26. | |
The members of the security forces were carrying out a military | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
operation when a bomb left by militants from | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
Kurdistan Workers Party was detonated, it said. | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
Officials at Brussels Airport say it could take several months before | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
Zaventem will partially re-open for three flights on Sunday | :04:42. | :04:49. | |
after a suicide attack forced it shut nearly two weeks ago. | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
The chief executive of the airport said there would be security | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
screening for all passengers before they arrive at the check-in. | :04:56. | :05:08. | |
A restart of the operations, even only partially, as quick as this, is | :05:09. | :05:15. | |
a sign of hope. It shows our strength will and our strength to | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
reservists and not to let others down. I want to thank every member | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
of our airport community and all departments involved who have made | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
this possible. As of tomorrow, Sunday, Brussels airport should be | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
partially operational. We should receive the official authorisation | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
to start today. We have 3% of flights to start tomorrow, by | :05:40. | :05:41. | |
Brussels airlines. So how much impact will the changes | :05:42. | :05:43. | |
have on passengers - here's our correspondent | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
in Brussels, James Reynolds They will not be able to go by bus | :05:47. | :05:56. | |
or train to the airport. They will have to go by taxi or by car. When | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
they get there, they will have to go through temporary security | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
procedures and also greater procedures. We are still trying to | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
understand when and where they will be checked and what will happen to | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
their luggage. But clearly the airport feels confident enough to | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
offer the promises to passengers on those flights that they will be | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
checked properly and their flights will take off. It is a test day for | :06:20. | :06:27. | |
Brussels airport and a day that the CEO said is a sign of hope. | :06:28. | :06:36. | |
Police removed dozens of demonstrators from the main square. | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
And there was a number of far right demonstrators trying to stage a | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
demonstration in the Molenbeek district which has a history of | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
Islamist activity. The police then had a confrontation with locals, | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
mostly of North African origin, who gathered. | :06:57. | :07:03. | |
At least thirty people are reported to have been killed in clashes | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
between troops from Azerbaijan and Armenia in the Caucasus region | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
Its parliament voted to join Armenia, when the Soviet Union | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
Both sides blame each other for the outbreak of fighting, | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
which is said to involve tanks, helicopters and artillery. | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
Richard Kauzlarich is former US Ambassador to Azerbaijan. | :07:25. | :07:26. | |
What has caused this latest escalation? Thank you. This is a | :07:27. | :07:41. | |
surprise to the extent that nobody expected this intense series of | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
exchanges. The worst that have been taking place since the ceasefire was | :07:46. | :07:53. | |
imposed in 1994. Tell us why this region is so strategically | :07:54. | :08:00. | |
important? It is to GDP important because it sits astride | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
geographically the intersection of both Russian and European interests. | :08:05. | :08:13. | |
-- it is strategically important. It is important for Europe and the | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
global economy. But there is a long-standing conflict that had been | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
frozen since 1994 and it has suddenly taken a turn for the worse. | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
The tragic loss of several dozen lives puts us now into a situation | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
where we have to worry about how to bring the two parties to the | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
negotiating table. Azerbaijan seems to have had this history, as you | :08:37. | :08:44. | |
describe. You were an ambassador at a crucial time, tell us your | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
experience? I arrived shortly before the ceasefire was in place and my | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
wife and I took a trip outside the front lines where we saw the | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
refugees from the fighting. Azerbaijanis who had lived during | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
the Soviet period and had an uneasy relationship with the Armenian | :09:06. | :09:07. | |
neighbours. And when the fighting took place they work pretty... So | :09:08. | :09:17. | |
after 1994, while there has been a ceasefire, there have been | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
exchanges, military exchanges between Armenia and Azerbaijan, but | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
not on the intensity that we have seen in recent days. Thank you very | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
much for being with us. The Syrian Army says it has | :09:28. | :09:29. | |
discovered a mass grave with around 40 bodies in the city of Palmyra | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
according to state run media. The city was recaptured | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
by government forces last sunday from the so called | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
Islamic State group. Our Middle East editor Alan Johnston | :09:40. | :09:41. | |
has more on the grim discoveries that have come to light | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
since the city was recaptured. Now that the city has been | :09:45. | :09:57. | |
recaptured, they are getting a much fuller picture of what happened to | :09:58. | :10:09. | |
the people of Palmyra under IS rule. The Syrian army says this mass grave | :10:10. | :10:16. | |
contained local militiamen, and offices in the Army. Tragically it | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
seems that some of their civilian relatives were also in the mass | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
graves including three children. Some of the victims were shot, some | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
were beheaded. Sadly, none of this is any kind of surprise. Soon after | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
IS took over Palmeiro, we heard that they were killing dozens of people. | :10:37. | :10:45. | |
-- Palmyra. We heard that five men when -- made to kneel on a stage in | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
the Roman amphitheatre and then executed. Given that that sort of | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
thing was going on, it was entirely possible that more mass graves are | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
to be found. It has been almost a week since the | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
city was recaptured. Journalists are saying the city is deserted, where | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
are they? It is possible that there were very few civilians left as the | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
battle for the city raged. But we are hearing that a number of | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
civilians left with the IS fighters as they retreated, as they | :11:20. | :11:26. | |
retreated, we don't know if any of them went willingly but it has to be | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
a real possibility that they were forced to go. That they are virtual | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
captives now, a possibility that they are in real danger. But | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
meanwhile, the city itself has been basically completely destroyed. The | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
fighting may have stopped, but it is obviously going to be a long long | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
time before anything like normal life returns to Palmyra. This is a | :11:50. | :11:56. | |
major clue for the Syrian army. Momentum on President Assad's side. | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
Where does the fight go from here? Losing this city was a hammer blow | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
to I S. This was a city with a cultural heritage, the world was | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
interested in Palmyra, and at the same time, it is a city in the | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
centre of an oil producing area so IS will revenue. It also means, | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
strategically, that the Syrian government can think about | :12:24. | :12:33. | |
exercising more control. It is a jumping off point for the Syrian | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
government to launch other attacks on IS. It IS has to be worried that | :12:37. | :12:43. | |
this combination of forces, the Syrian army and the Russian air | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
force, might eventually focus on the IS strong gold and judging by what | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
happened in Palmyra, it might be hard for IS to hold one eventually. | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
Stay with us on BBC World News, still to come: | :12:57. | :13:05. | |
The threat of nuclear terrorism remains and is evolving. That is the | :13:06. | :13:13. | |
word from leaders on the last day of the nuclear Security summit in | :13:14. | :13:14. | |
Washington. The UK steel industry is appealing | :13:15. | :13:16. | |
for the government to step in after China imposed | :13:17. | :13:18. | |
new import tariffs on steel It comes as thousands | :13:19. | :13:20. | |
of steelworkers at the Tata plant in Port Talbot face redundancy | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
after a decision by its Indian owners to sell their loss-making | :13:25. | :13:26. | |
British factories. We are talking about a sector that | :13:27. | :13:40. | |
is a foundation, that feeds into a number of key supply chains. | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
Aerospace, defence, construction. We also need to remember that we are | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
talking about thousands and thousands of jobs. 15,000 people | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
work for Tata Steel. Are we prepared to sacrifice all of those jobs so we | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
don't upset the Chinese? I don't think so. I think we have a strong | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
relationship with China but they also need to point out that this is | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
unfair trading. It is dumping steel and the global market in an unfair | :14:11. | :14:12. | |
way, below the cost of production. There have been processed in Turkey | :14:13. | :14:31. | |
as the country and sets it is ready to accept migrants from Europe. | :14:32. | :14:33. | |
it may take at least three months for all flights to resume | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
following last month's suicide attacks. | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
Well, staying on the subject of the so called Islamic State - | :14:44. | :14:46. | |
President Obama has warned that the possibility of the group | :14:47. | :14:49. | |
obtaining a nuclear weapon is "one of the greatest threats | :14:50. | :14:51. | |
Speaking at the end of a Nuclear Security Summit | :14:52. | :14:54. | |
in Washington, he insisted that concrete steps must be taken | :14:55. | :14:57. | |
This was President Obama's last big push for global nuclear security. | :14:58. | :15:08. | |
But the threat of nuclear terrorism loomed | :15:09. | :15:10. | |
The Brussels attacks focused the minds | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
of the more than 50 world leaders here, with growing concerns | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
It is claimed the group has already used | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
chemical weapons in Syria and in Iraq. | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
There is no doubt that if these madmen ever got their hands | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
on a nuclear bomb or nuclear material, | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
they most certainly would use it to kill as many innocent | :15:33. | :15:35. | |
That's why our work here remains so critical. | :15:36. | :15:41. | |
The single most effective defence against | :15:42. | :15:43. | |
nuclear terrorism is fully securing this material so it doesn't fall | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
into the wrong hands in the first place. | :15:48. | :15:50. | |
More conventional threats were also on the agenda, | :15:51. | :15:52. | |
especially North Korea's continued testing of | :15:53. | :15:55. | |
It defiantly fired a missile during the Washington | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
summit but blamed the United States for the tensions on the | :16:01. | :16:03. | |
United States is trying to turn white into black, | :16:04. | :16:09. | |
describing as if the countermeasures taken by the government of Korea | :16:10. | :16:15. | |
They said that it is a threat and a provocation. | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
Much will depend on the attitude of China's president, | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
Xi Jinping, North Korea's closest ally. | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
He was urged by Barack Obama to increase the pressure on Pyongyang. | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
The meetings wound up with announcements of new steps | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
to secure or reduce nuclear stockpiles but | :16:36. | :16:38. | |
a key player, Russia's president, Vladimir Putin, was missing | :16:39. | :16:41. | |
from the family photo because of current political | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
tensions, a stark reminder of the summit's limits. | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
President Obama began these high-level meetings six | :16:49. | :16:50. | |
years ago to tackle the threat of nuclear material that could be | :16:51. | :16:53. | |
Much has been accomplished but not enough and with | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
the rise of groups like Islamic State, the fear of nuclear | :16:59. | :17:00. | |
We start with the return of the Premier League | :17:01. | :17:20. | |
Tottenham have closed the gap on Leicester. | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
The game between Liverpool and Tottenham has finished | :17:25. | :17:26. | |
Liverpool took the lead shortly after half time | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
Harry Kane cemented his pedigree with 26 league goals this season. | :17:31. | :17:45. | |
That is something no other Spurs player has managed | :17:46. | :17:48. | |
It is difficult for the teams to get points. | :17:49. | :17:59. | |
It is important today we show that we are ambitious | :18:00. | :18:01. | |
In a difficult stadium at Anfield against | :18:02. | :18:07. | |
Liverpool, we showed that we deserve to be in the place that we are. | :18:08. | :18:10. | |
It was an open game, a little bit wild. | :18:11. | :18:12. | |
brilliant attitude and both trying to win. | :18:13. | :18:15. | |
Now, after five minutes, talking, it seems a deserved draw. | :18:16. | :18:34. | |
Rafael Benitez says his Newcastle side still have a chance. Despite a | :18:35. | :18:42. | |
last-minute defeat to Norwich. Alex Neil's side took a huge three | :18:43. | :18:45. | |
points with Martin Olsson scoring a 93rd-minute winner to send | :18:46. | :18:47. | |
the Carrow Road fans crazy. Norwich led twice but Newcastle | :18:48. | :18:50. | |
striker Alexandr Mitrovic equalised on two occasions before | :18:51. | :18:52. | |
Olsson's late winner. Today was a pity. We conceded after | :18:53. | :19:05. | |
the last minute in the first half -- second half. We had control of the | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
game and then I'm disappointed because I felt the team was working | :19:10. | :19:15. | |
hard and not enough to win the game. I told them that we have seven games | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
to play and we have to keep working hard and pushing. | :19:20. | :19:21. | |
Also today there were comfortable 4-0 wins for Arsenal, | :19:22. | :19:31. | |
Swansea came from two down to draw at Stoke. | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
It was goalless between Sunderland and West Brom. | :19:35. | :19:36. | |
Ten-man West Ham came from a goal down twice to draw 2-2 | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
Is the biggest game in Spain, the biggest in the world. Al Classico | :19:40. | :19:51. | |
between Real Madrid and Barcelona, is drawing to a close. With | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
thousands of fans in the stadium before kick-off, there was a tribute | :19:57. | :20:03. | |
to yell Crawford died last week. Barcelona went in front ten minutes | :20:04. | :20:07. | |
into the second half. Then Karen Benzema fired in eight minutes | :20:08. | :20:14. | |
later. Cristiano Ronaldo gave his team a 2-1 lead. | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
Formula One's new qualifying format still hasn't managed to shake up | :20:20. | :20:22. | |
the established order after Lewis Hamilton claimed pole | :20:23. | :20:24. | |
The world champion broke the lap record | :20:25. | :20:27. | |
at the Bahrain circuit to beat his Mercedes team mate | :20:28. | :20:29. | |
Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel was third to produce a repeat of the top three | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
qualifying result from the first round of the season. | :20:35. | :20:36. | |
Throughout qualifying, you do a lap and it | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
So to actually pull it all together is actually | :20:41. | :20:47. | |
And it actually even more of a pressured lap. | :20:48. | :20:58. | |
I had to improve even more than I did the lap | :20:59. | :21:01. | |
England's Catton says that England have to embrace the atmosphere. | :21:02. | :21:26. | |
We are realistic, it will not be a normal game. Even in the semifinals | :21:27. | :21:30. | |
there was a lot of hype around the expectation about playing in the | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
final. I want all our players to embrace it. Tomorrow, everything | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
will feel rushed to start with. It is important that we are in a good | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
frame of mind to slow things down when needed and execute our skills. | :21:44. | :21:49. | |
Even before we played West Indies in the group stages, I was firm in | :21:50. | :21:52. | |
saying that Chris Gayle was not just the West Indies team. It is | :21:53. | :22:02. | |
important that when you are playing against good size, you don't focus | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
on one or two players, it is everybody, everybody can hurt you. | :22:06. | :22:07. | |
India game, everybody witnessed that. Play with them over the years, | :22:08. | :22:10. | |
I have understood them, what makes them tick. How to relate to them in | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
different situations. This comes with experience. So if you could | :22:17. | :22:21. | |
see, this tournament I have not really done anything apart from | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
leading them out there on the field. They are so experienced, I'm letting | :22:27. | :22:29. | |
them go out and express themselves because T20 is about expressing | :22:30. | :22:35. | |
yourself. And to confirm, Barcelona defeated | :22:36. | :22:38. | |
by Real Madrid in Spain. That's all the sport for now. | :22:39. | :22:45. | |
Like many aspects of life in Pakistan, tea houses | :22:46. | :22:47. | |
But a group of women in Karachi has decided to challenge the tradition - | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
simply by visiting the cafes to socialise. | :22:53. | :22:53. | |
Their actions are starting to inspire other women to follow | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
suit - as Shaimaa Khalil found out when she joined them... | :22:57. | :23:04. | |
A typical Karachi afternoon in a traditional teahouse, or dhaba. | :23:05. | :23:06. | |
This is one of the most popular hangouts in Pakistan. | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
And while there isn't a "men only" sign here, | :23:11. | :23:21. | |
it is socially understood that these teahouses are run | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
A group of women have now started a movement to change that. | :23:27. | :23:38. | |
Deep down, I think, why can't I negotiate my way in public in | :23:39. | :23:46. | |
Karachi? It should be okayed to do so. I feel like the more I venture | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
out and I am not afraid, then other people -- other women will want to | :23:52. | :23:53. | |
do so. You can see why this | :23:54. | :23:57. | |
is not a normal thing, and is not a traditional thing, | :23:58. | :23:59. | |
because all around us is the men who hang | :24:00. | :24:02. | |
out in these places. You know, being bussed from one | :24:03. | :24:04. | |
private space to another to another, kind | :24:05. | :24:13. | |
of got sick of that. And then you see the shared | :24:14. | :24:15. | |
camaraderie of men at the dhabas, I mean, I think it is important, | :24:16. | :24:17. | |
because, you know, like, it is this idea that | :24:18. | :24:24. | |
as we step out in the world, as women, we have to become | :24:25. | :24:27. | |
smaller, and kind of reduce in size So to sit and be, like, OK, | :24:28. | :24:30. | |
I am very comfortable in my skin, I am OK with people staring, | :24:31. | :24:35. | |
that is completely taking ownership of your city, your body, | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
how you negotiate with that. This is something that really took | :24:40. | :24:46. | |
off when you started posting We received a lot of photos that | :24:47. | :24:48. | |
spoke for themselves, from other countries, | :24:49. | :24:53. | |
from India, from Nepal. We have been overwhelmed in some | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
ways. It shows that it does | :24:59. | :25:12. | |
resonate with people. The best part is that | :25:13. | :25:14. | |
a lot of girls were like, oh, my God, you made us think | :25:15. | :25:17. | |
so differently about our place in the world, that | :25:18. | :25:20. | |
we feel empowered. Shaimaa Khalil there, | :25:21. | :25:27. | |
talking to two female members of one Now feathers have been flying | :25:28. | :25:29. | |
across the world today...That's That's | :25:30. | :25:37. | |
because it's International Battles taking place in more | :25:38. | :25:39. | |
than 100 cities, including Taipei, It's one way to release a bit | :25:40. | :25:42. | |
of stress, but it looks exhausting. The events is into its seventh | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
year and was inspired by the Urban Playground movement | :25:48. | :25:50. | |
which aims to get people interacting | :25:51. | :25:53. |
