:03:10. > :03:21.Gavin, a big development, F ended this man is also the man in the hat.
:03:22. > :03:24.Yes, what we have officially from the Belgian prosecutor as there have
:03:25. > :03:29.been several arrests today in relation to these two attacks at the
:03:30. > :03:38.airport and the metro station, two weeks ago. In the last hour or so,
:03:39. > :03:42.state television and French police are quoted as telling news agencies
:03:43. > :03:48.that this is indeed Mohamed Abrini. What do we know about him? He was
:03:49. > :03:52.seen as a bit part player in the Paris attacks. He was seen two days
:03:53. > :03:57.before the attacks. His car was used. He was seen with Salah
:03:58. > :04:06.Abdeslam am heading for Paris. We were given details about his past
:04:07. > :04:11.history. He had been to Syria. His brother was a former IS fighter in
:04:12. > :04:17.Syria. He was wanted by Belgian police as well. He has not been seen
:04:18. > :04:22.since. He has a connection to this missing man as well, this man still
:04:23. > :04:27.not yet identified, known simply as the man in the hat. We believe there
:04:28. > :04:32.is a relevance here to the images released yesterday by the federal
:04:33. > :04:38.prosecutor of CCTV images which ensure a more complete image of the
:04:39. > :04:42.man leaving the airport, with passengers trying to escape the
:04:43. > :04:45.scene. We see him go through the car park and then Watford ten colour
:04:46. > :04:52.matters for two hours and then we lose all trace of him. Local media
:04:53. > :04:55.say this is the man connected to Paris and Brussels as well. We are
:04:56. > :04:59.currently waiting on a press conference and will know the
:05:00. > :05:03.significance of that very soon. There were a number of arrests. What
:05:04. > :05:09.more do we know about the other people detained? The only details we
:05:10. > :05:15.have and this is coming from a French and Belgian media, including
:05:16. > :05:25.the state television, saying that other notable figures are somebody
:05:26. > :05:28.from Maelbeek Metro station, is suspected suicide bomber who has not
:05:29. > :05:33.been seen since. It is thought this is the man who may have bought some
:05:34. > :05:37.of the bags for the bombers to use. You might be able to see some
:05:38. > :05:42.footage which has emerged today of one of the raids. We are not sure
:05:43. > :05:49.who this is but this is amateur footage, close to Molenbeek. This is
:05:50. > :05:53.an undercover operation, police officers taking their man and
:05:54. > :05:58.bundling him into the back of a car. As always, thank you very much. Keep

:07:10. > :07:15.nor its views on homosexuality or ban on contraception.
:07:16. > :07:17.So does this mean that those who are divorced and civilly

:13:25. > :13:26.Today, they have managed to get the most high-profile group
:13:27. > :13:28.of political prisoners in this country, these student activists

:14:11. > :14:15.are. We are really welcoming of this release. The students have been in
:14:16. > :14:19.detention for over a year. The fact they have been released today, one
:14:20. > :14:24.week into a new Government, says a lot about their commitment to ending
:14:25. > :14:26.the cycle of political arrest and imprisonment. Unfortunately, some
:14:27. > :14:32.people are still behind buyers and it is time to turn our attention to
:14:33. > :14:35.them. Of course, but the relief for those students was overwhelming.
:14:36. > :14:42.Let's just have a look at that moment. So this is them listening to
:14:43. > :14:45.the judge, and it's obvious that after a year in detention, as you
:14:46. > :14:57.were saying, the relief is palpable, as we will see in a second. Yes, you
:14:58. > :15:01.touched upon this. You hoped to see more. That's right. In the last
:15:02. > :15:05.hour, we have heard that some of those who were not released today
:15:06. > :15:09.have actually been released, which is wonderful news. What we need to
:15:10. > :15:13.see now is those who have already been convicted to be released. There
:15:14. > :15:20.are many dozens behind buyers still and this is where our focus must be.
:15:21. > :15:22.We must really dismantle this repressive legal framework that has
:15:23. > :15:30.allowed these individuals to be arrested and a detained behind
:15:31. > :15:33.buyers for so long. You have got this repressive legal framework, how
:15:34. > :15:40.do you dismantle something so historic? We have an excellent
:15:41. > :15:43.opportunity. In terms of being actually able to reform laws, we can
:15:44. > :15:50.see progress because of the Government majority. They have laws
:15:51. > :15:54.which restrict free speech and which would prevent people from peacefully
:15:55. > :15:58.protest in. It will take time, but we have seen positive moves already
:15:59. > :16:03.that they want to prioritise this issue and we will see that a legal
:16:04. > :16:08.reform process initiated in the coming weeks. What about the
:16:09. > :16:13.military role? I think we have to be realistic. The military still plays
:16:14. > :16:17.a very powerful role in the country, in addition to their role in
:16:18. > :16:21.Parliament, the actually have oversight of some of the key
:16:22. > :16:24.ministries. Particularly the Ministry of home affairs, which
:16:25. > :16:28.oversees the police. There is going to have to be some kind of
:16:29. > :16:35.relationship uttering the Government and the military. I hope there are
:16:36. > :16:38.no spoilers here, it is early days. The new State Councillor's
:16:39. > :16:46.relationship with the military, how crucial is that? Absolutely crucial.
:16:47. > :16:50.They retain power over these key ministries. They have a veto over
:16:51. > :16:54.constitutional changes and have a significant bloc in parliament as
:16:55. > :16:59.well. We have seen the military react very strongly to any criticism
:17:00. > :17:05.of the military institution by peaceful activists, and that is not
:17:06. > :17:09.something... It is something we have to keep our eyes on. But for the
:17:10. > :17:13.time being, those students finally going home. Thank you very much for

:17:52. > :18:03.try to promote genuine harmony. For that, genuine harmony
:18:04. > :18:09.is the basis of mutual respect. The Chinese government has put a lot

:18:20. > :18:24.placing its business interests ahead of what you believe should

:19:00. > :19:25.sometimes seem more That is the reality. In recent
:19:26. > :19:29.months and years, you have spoken a lot about reincarnation. A lot of
:19:30. > :19:42.people have reacted. Have you changed your views on reincarnation?
:19:43. > :19:50.The whole system... That's gone. Democracy is the system. I myself am
:19:51. > :19:55.fully committed to democracy. Therefore, this certain sort of
:19:56. > :20:07.system, including religious institution, feudal system, is a
:20:08. > :20:22.long time past. We must act according to the new reality.
:20:23. > :20:29.Know some breaking news and some information on the leaked Panama

:20:45. > :20:50.saying it will take necessary steps to guarantee effective protection of

:22:52. > :22:55.rather than South Africa. If we want to tell a story
:22:56. > :22:58.about Somalis or Eastleigh, In terms of equality,
:22:59. > :23:07.there are many are interested This is the Eye In The Sky view
:23:08. > :23:17.of the real Eastleigh here in Kenya. It has a reputation of having very
:23:18. > :23:21.enterprising people. It also has a reputation
:23:22. > :23:23.of harbouring terrorists - something these residents
:23:24. > :23:26.would like to change. Eastleigh Wood is trying
:23:27. > :23:32.to tell Somali stories This is a trailer of
:23:33. > :23:38.their latest release, Mistaken, We tell our stories because people
:23:39. > :23:49.tell the negative side. In this film, we try
:23:50. > :23:55.to tell the positive side. But Eastleigh's reputation
:23:56. > :23:58.is not entirely false. Over the past few years there have
:23:59. > :24:01.been several grenade attacks in the neighbourhood and police
:24:02. > :24:04.worry about local links Security experts say Eye In The Sky
:24:05. > :24:11.reflects a dangerous reality. It may look fantastical
:24:12. > :24:15.or something far-fetched, I think if you live in Yemen,
:24:16. > :24:21.if you live in Pakistan and if you live in Somalia,
:24:22. > :24:24.that is a reality. It hasn't yet happened
:24:25. > :24:28.in Kenya, but who knows? For now, though,
:24:29. > :24:30.Eye In The Sky is fiction, and the people here hope
:24:31. > :24:42.it remains that way. It was meant to be a romantic
:24:43. > :24:44.marriage proposal, but in turned It all happened when a young
:24:45. > :24:48.man in California, seen dangling from the end of this
:24:49. > :24:52.rope, climbed onto a rocky ledge 27 metres from the ground
:24:53. > :24:55.in order to pop the question Unfortunately, the man became
:24:56. > :25:01.stranded and had to be Well, the girlfriend did apparently
:25:02. > :25:06.say "yes" to the proposal, He was detained on suspicion
:25:07. > :25:12.of being under the influence Local police said it
:25:13. > :25:24.was a serious matter. Firefighters in Florida have rescued
:25:25. > :25:27.a bear cub from a forest fire. The firefighters decided
:25:28. > :25:29.to call the little bear Smokey Junior, after an iconic
:25:30. > :25:33.American wildfire prevention icon. They say his paws were burned
:25:34. > :25:37.and the hair on his head singed. They were fighting a 300 acre
:25:38. > :25:40.brushfire in Lake County when they found the cub
:25:41. > :25:54.and pulled him to safety. The rest of the fire was contained,
:25:55. > :25:59.luckily. There is more as always on our website, where you can get in
