:00:11. > :00:13.A Norwegian court decides that the authorities have violated

:01:07. > :01:10.A court in Norway has upheld a claim of inhuman treatment brought
:01:11. > :01:13.by the mass murderer Anders Breivik, who killed 77 seven people in a gun
:01:14. > :01:25.He'd claimed that his being held in solitary confinement
:01:26. > :01:28.since then was a violation of the European Convention on Human
:01:29. > :01:31.The court acknowledged his rights had been compromised but it
:01:32. > :01:34.rejected his other claim that his right to a private
:01:35. > :01:54.As he arrived in the prison gym, Anders Breivik, 37, gave his Nazi
:01:55. > :01:58.salute. His case is that his treatment was inhuman and degrading.
:01:59. > :02:03.He said he had been deprived of sleep, kept alone in his cell for 23
:02:04. > :02:08.hours a day and been strip-searched in front of female staff. He had
:02:09. > :02:12.been mobbed in the Norwegian media proclaims that the court copy and
:02:13. > :02:20.microwave meals were worse than the waterboarding. He is serving a
:02:21. > :02:27.sentence for murdering 69 people taking part in a Labour Party youth
:02:28. > :02:31.camp in Oslo in July 20 11. He systematically hunted down and shot
:02:32. > :02:37.his victims before surrounding the arm to police. Many escaped by
:02:38. > :02:41.fleeing into the cold waters. Earlier, eight people had died when
:02:42. > :02:45.Breivik parked van containing a bomb next to a government building in the
:02:46. > :02:53.capital. It was the deadliest attack on Norway since the end of World War
:02:54. > :02:57.II. The judges ruled that while the strict controls of his
:02:58. > :03:01.communications were justified, his prison regime deviated so markedly
:03:02. > :03:04.from that and forced upon any other prisoner that it breached his human
:03:05. > :03:12.rights. State lawyers said they may appeal. I know that the court
:03:13. > :03:18.disagrees with us on some of the things. That is what the court
:03:19. > :03:23.system is for. We believe that there are no basis for the corrections.
:03:24. > :03:27.After the ruling, one survivor of the massacre tweeted that the
:03:28. > :03:30.judgment showed Norway had a working court system that respected human
:03:31. > :03:32.rights even under extreme conditions.
:03:33. > :03:34.Another scandal has hit the car industry.
:03:35. > :03:36.This time it's the Japanese car manufacturer Mitsubishi,
:03:37. > :03:40.which has admitted falsifying test data to show better fuel consumption
:03:41. > :03:48.for more than 500,000 vehicles in Japan, some produced for Nissan.
:03:49. > :03:50.At a press conference in Tokyo, company bosses bowed in apology,
:03:51. > :03:52.admitting employees had intentionally faked tyre pressure
:03:53. > :03:53.figures to give better mileage rates.
:03:54. > :04:02.This is the way Japanese car bosses apologise for lying to customers.
:04:03. > :04:05.Mitsubishi has become the second car-maker to admit fiddling a test,
:04:06. > :04:12.this time to get more miles per gallon from some of its models.
:04:13. > :04:14.He says the wrongdoing was intentional and that it's clear
:04:15. > :04:19.the falsification was done to make the milage look better but why,
:04:20. > :04:28.he says, they would resort to fraud to do this is still unclear.
:04:29. > :04:31.It's a stark contrast to the way these family friendly city cars
:04:32. > :04:37.Mitsubishi wasn't caught by the authorities but by a partner
:04:38. > :04:43.company, Nissan, who sold the same car with a different badge.
:04:44. > :04:49.Well, it all comes down to tyre pressures.
:04:50. > :04:53.Your tyres are critical to how your car performs on the road
:04:54. > :04:56.so they don't just affect how quickly you can stop.
:04:57. > :04:59.They can affect how much pollution comes out of the exhaust pipe
:05:00. > :05:02.and they can change your miles per gallon.
:05:03. > :05:05.It looks like Mitsubishi altered the inflation on the tyres to cheat
:05:06. > :05:12.that miles per gallon test. Lab test results have long been
:05:13. > :05:15.controversial, even when car-makers played by the rules.
:05:16. > :05:18.Experts say they rarely match the results you get
:05:19. > :05:26.That's how much lower miles per gallon will be an average
:05:27. > :05:29.across all the models we have tested when driving in the real world.
:05:30. > :05:34.But on the other hand, some actually almost meet them.
:05:35. > :05:36.There's a big difference between different manufacturers
:05:37. > :05:39.and that's caused partly by the degree to which they take
:05:40. > :05:44.advantage of these things you can do around tyre pressures.
:05:45. > :05:48.It may not be on the same scale but months after the car industry
:05:49. > :05:51.was rocked by the VW scandal, it's dealing with another
:05:52. > :05:56.We have had assurances from all our members
:05:57. > :05:58.which represents all the car companies that operate
:05:59. > :06:02.in the UK that no illegal activity has taken place.
:06:03. > :06:06.And those same assurances have been given to the government as well.
:06:07. > :06:09.They might have to stop the adverts for now.
:06:10. > :06:11.Mitsubishi says it's double-checking but so far,
:06:12. > :06:15.this only affects cars sold in Japan.
:06:16. > :06:29.Tomm Kristiansen is a reporter at NRK in Norway.
:06:30. > :06:46.The reaction in Norway, what is it? The reaction comes down to who you
:06:47. > :06:52.are asking but the survivors who were part of this massacre four
:06:53. > :06:57.years ago are shocked and find it unbelievable that a court can say
:06:58. > :07:02.that his prison conditions are inhuman and degrading and against
:07:03. > :07:10.human rights compare to what happened on the island four years
:07:11. > :07:16.ago. The prosecutors say they will appeal to the next High Court
:07:17. > :07:20.because they are very surprised that he has won over the government. If
:07:21. > :07:25.the government doesn't win on appeal, does that mean his condition
:07:26. > :07:32.will have to be changed? They will not be changed at the moment but
:07:33. > :07:39.they might be changed later. The situation is that he is isolated 23
:07:40. > :07:44.hours a day. He is out on fresh air for one hour and he has seen no one
:07:45. > :07:50.else other than his ward. He never sees on the other prisoners, he
:07:51. > :07:56.doesn't see any family, nothing more than a professional visitor, and he
:07:57. > :08:02.needs staff at the prison, that's all. He has three rooms when you can
:08:03. > :08:09.exercise, where he has his desk, where he can cook food. These
:08:10. > :08:18.things... In court, they say that his privacy is limited and it will
:08:19. > :08:26.remain like that but the use of strip searching, waking him up
:08:27. > :08:32.during the night, security measures, he must be behind bars or handcuffs
:08:33. > :08:38.when he meets other people, all these things are against human
:08:39. > :08:42.rights and is degrading his life in prison. What do you think this human
:08:43. > :08:54.rights ruling says about Norway's justice system? Commentators have
:08:55. > :09:00.said that this is a victory for the Norwegian law system, because this
:09:01. > :09:09.is a surprise to everybody, that even a person like Breivik can get
:09:10. > :09:14.his rights in court, but is it fair or not? Many people think you should
:09:15. > :09:19.suffer in jail but the Norwegian law system says you are not in jail to
:09:20. > :09:26.be punished by physical things or other things. It's the isolation
:09:27. > :09:28.that is the punishment, not having a bad time in getting depressed. Thank
:09:29. > :09:31.you so much. President Obama has had a tricky
:09:32. > :09:34.diplomatic day on his fourth Saudi Arabia has always been
:09:35. > :09:39.America's most important Arab ally but relations have never
:09:40. > :09:42.been so strained. There were smiles and pleasantries
:09:43. > :09:46.from President Obama and King Salman but away from the cameras,
:09:47. > :09:49.the Saudis have made it clear they're deeply sceptical
:09:50. > :09:51.of Washington's nuclear deal with their regional rival Iran
:09:52. > :09:54.and of Mr Obama's approach Throw into the mix Yemen,
:09:55. > :10:00.oil and human rights and you can see why most analysts are focusing
:10:01. > :10:03.on the difficulties facing this The US Defence Secretary,
:10:04. > :10:08.Ashton Carter, has been in the region for a few days
:10:09. > :10:12.preparing for the presidential trip. He had this to say about one
:10:13. > :10:15.of the issues at the forefront of today's discussions
:10:16. > :10:19.with the Saudi King. The United States shares
:10:20. > :10:23.with our GCC partners the view that even as the nuclear accord
:10:24. > :10:27.verifiably prevents Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon,
:10:28. > :10:30.there are many more issues to be concerned with regarding Iran's
:10:31. > :10:35.behaviour in the region. That's one reason why I emphasised
:10:36. > :10:37.that the nuclear accord imposes no limits on the United States and that
:10:38. > :10:42.what we are doing in the Department In our posture, our preparedness,
:10:43. > :10:51.our planning and our partnership, the US military remains committed
:10:52. > :10:56.and capable of responding to Iranian BBC Arabic's Hanan Razek
:10:57. > :11:12.is travelling with the It's been a difficult day. What
:11:13. > :11:20.readout are you getting about how has gone? As you mentioned, away
:11:21. > :11:24.from the cameras and smiles, there are more contentious issues to be
:11:25. > :11:28.tackled in this visit that comes a few months before Obama leaves the
:11:29. > :11:36.White House. Obama met today with the Saudi king and as we understood
:11:37. > :11:41.from the privately held conversation, they talked about
:11:42. > :11:44.countering terrorism in the region and specifically about defeating the
:11:45. > :11:52.so-called Islamic State which seems to be on the top of the genders in
:11:53. > :12:02.this visit. However, the keyword as many observers say in this visit, is
:12:03. > :12:09.I Rann. Ashton Carter met with his gal Kyle departs today and they
:12:10. > :12:15.talked about what the Gulf leaders here called Iranians intervention in
:12:16. > :12:19.the region. There seems to be a feel of an American attempt to reassure
:12:20. > :12:24.its allies in the Gulf. Do you think the Saudis are also looking beyond
:12:25. > :12:33.President Obama? He has only a matter months left in office.
:12:34. > :12:38.Absolutely. This is why some analysts say this actually might set
:12:39. > :12:42.the tone for the next President and this is why the Gulf leaders are
:12:43. > :12:48.keen on this visit because it seems that many of them think that Obama
:12:49. > :12:53.is pivoting towards Asia and that the American focus is shifting from
:12:54. > :12:57.the Middle East and they want to make sure that the Middle East will
:12:58. > :13:04.be present and key for the coming President and this makes... They are
:13:05. > :13:06.very keen on this visit now. There is a lot of security around you, we
:13:07. > :13:12.can tell. Are the frontrunners in race
:13:13. > :13:15.for the White House - Donald Trump for the Republicans
:13:16. > :13:17.and Hillary Clinton for the Democrats -
:13:18. > :13:19.unstoppable after big wins For the Republicans,
:13:20. > :13:21.Donald Trump now has the backing of 845 delegates -
:13:22. > :13:24.remember the magic number for his party is 1237 -
:13:25. > :13:26.with his nearest rival, For the Democrats, Hillary Clinton's
:13:27. > :13:32.win in New York broke a string of gains by Bernie Sanders -
:13:33. > :13:38.the magic number here is 2383 - putting her on 1930 delegates
:13:39. > :13:44.compared with his 1189. She says victory for the Democratic
:13:45. > :13:48.nomination is now in sight. # New York, New York...
:13:49. > :14:01.# Donald Trump entered his victory
:14:02. > :14:05.rally with Big Apple swagger. Frank Sinatra's great anthem echoing
:14:06. > :14:09.around the atrium at the skyscraper I can think of nowhere that
:14:10. > :14:17.I would rather have this victory. He won over 60% of the vote and that
:14:18. > :14:23.gives him a big delegate call that moves him closer to the Republican
:14:24. > :14:26.presidential nomination. We don't have much of a race any
:14:27. > :14:29.more, based on what I'm Senator Cruz is just
:14:30. > :14:37.about mathematically eliminated. But for all his boasts,
:14:38. > :14:39.the race isn't over yet. He still can be stopped
:14:40. > :14:42.if his opponents get enough delegates in upcoming
:14:43. > :14:43.contests to deprive him For Hillary Clinton,
:14:44. > :14:55.it's becoming far more clear-cut, and for New York's former Senator,
:14:56. > :14:57.this was the happiest Today, you proved once again
:14:58. > :15:07.there's no place like home. It's become almost
:15:08. > :15:11.impossible for her arrival, The race for the Democratic
:15:12. > :15:17.nomination is in the home stretch Many Democrats still refuse
:15:18. > :15:24.to embrace her but with the Republican Party in a state
:15:25. > :15:27.of civil war, are we looking This really was the night
:15:28. > :15:35.of the frontrunners. Donald Trump winning
:15:36. > :15:38.in the state of his birth, Hillary Clinton claiming victory
:15:39. > :15:41.in her adopted political home. It really was a case
:15:42. > :15:46.of New York, New York! Nick Bryant, BBC News,
:15:47. > :15:52.Times Square. We can go to the studios of Politico
:15:53. > :16:08.in Washington DC and talk to senior Donald Trump is arguing he has
:16:09. > :16:11.brought a lot of voters to engage with the political process. Will
:16:12. > :16:19.that mean he will be rewarded with the nomination? It looks like that
:16:20. > :16:24.more and more now after the win in New York. Donald Trump has been
:16:25. > :16:30.working the referees, pressuring them, making his case over the last
:16:31. > :16:33.couple of weeks. He has suffered a couple of losses, lost delicates
:16:34. > :16:40.where Ted Cruz has been able to narrow the gap. Donald Trump has
:16:41. > :16:50.been saying, I am ahead, I should be the nominee. The threshold of 1237
:16:51. > :16:55.delicates he needs to hit but increasingly as he racks up this
:16:56. > :16:58.huge win in New York, he is going on to five under states in the
:16:59. > :17:03.north-eastern part of the country where he is leading unlikely to beat
:17:04. > :17:08.Ted Cruz again next Tuesday, it's going to be very hard for people to
:17:09. > :17:12.deny Donald Trump nomination once he gets to Cleveland because he will
:17:13. > :17:17.close out the electoral calendar with a string of wins it looks like.
:17:18. > :17:22.He will either hit 1237 get very close to it. We will go to
:17:23. > :17:31.Cleveland. If he's not at that number after the 7th of June, there
:17:32. > :17:36.are 200 also delegates heading into Cleveland, if Trump is 30 or 40 or
:17:37. > :17:40.even 100 shy of that number, there is a growing consensus he will win
:17:41. > :17:46.over enough for them to a still win this nomination on the first ballot
:17:47. > :17:50.in Cleveland at the convention because a lot of established
:17:51. > :17:54.Republicans, even some who do not like Donald Trump, people who do not
:17:55. > :17:59.believe he can beat Hillary Clinton in November, they have come to
:18:00. > :18:03.understand that the will of the voters has to be carried out and the
:18:04. > :18:07.voters are speaking loudly. If Donald Trump does get the
:18:08. > :18:12.nomination, normally you have this process where you energise in the
:18:13. > :18:16.primaries and then think over winning moderates and independent
:18:17. > :18:24.voters, can you see him wanting to tip towards the middle ground? We
:18:25. > :18:28.can already see it. Someone as bombastic and unusual as him, some
:18:29. > :18:32.people say there is no way he can be that malleable pivot that hard to do
:18:33. > :18:36.this shape shifting were suddenly here is acceptable to all these
:18:37. > :18:41.voters who say he is unacceptable. However, we are starting to see him
:18:42. > :18:50.try. His speech last night, for all the glamour, Trump was toned down.
:18:51. > :18:56.He referred to Ted Cruz as Senator Cruz. He was focused more on his
:18:57. > :19:01.message about creating jobs, doing better trade deals. You can see the
:19:02. > :19:05.imprint of the new strategist he brought in to take over his campaign
:19:06. > :19:11.and get him the rest of the way. You can see his imprint on the sort of
:19:12. > :19:15.toned down Trump. We have seen less of him in the news. They are
:19:16. > :19:20.starting to understand that they have to demonstrate a little more
:19:21. > :19:23.than ability to move to the centre. They are starting to do that now.
