This is BBC World News Today, broadcasting in the UK | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
I'm Alpa Patel. Here are the headlines. | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
There's a controlled explosion at Old Trafford as Manchester | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
United's last Premier League game is abandoned. | :00:19. | :00:20. | |
In France - 17 women who have served | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
as ministers say they will no longer stay silent on sexual harassment. | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
Also coming up - the leading campaigner for the UK | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
compares the aims of the organisation to | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
And 18-year-old Max Verstappen becomes the youngest ever winner | :00:34. | :00:40. | |
Bomb disposal experts have carried out a controlled explosion | :00:41. | :00:56. | |
at Manchester United's home ground, Old Trafford. | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
Police described the object as looking incredibly | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
like an explosive device, but concluded it was not viable. | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
The discovery forced the abandonment of the club's final game of | :01:08. | :01:14. | |
Well, from Old Trafford we join Andy Swiss. | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
As the players warmed up just 20 minutes before kick-off, | :01:21. | :01:22. | |
The instruction for fans in two stands to evacuate from the stadium | :01:23. | :01:31. | |
after a suspect package had been discovered. | :01:32. | :01:33. | |
As the players, including United's Michael Carrick, | :01:34. | :01:40. | |
digested the news, the remaining thousands of fans inside the stadium | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
Most appeared to remain calm as they exited. | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
Amongst them, a group who came all the way | :01:47. | :01:48. | |
It is the right decision that the security of the fans | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
When you left the ground and asked a security guard, | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
what is going on, they were like, we don't know, just wait outside. | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
It kind of put us in a panic. | :02:05. | :02:06. | |
The emergency services arrived at the ground as well as the bomb | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
disposal team, who carried out a controlled explosion. | :02:10. | :02:11. | |
In footballing terms, this was one of the biggest days | :02:12. | :02:13. | |
of the season, with United hoping to win a place in | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
Instead, the sport has been overshadowed by concerns | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
over security at one of the game's most famous venues. | :02:21. | :02:38. | |
To France - where 17 female politicians, | :02:39. | :02:39. | |
have said in an open letter saying they will no longer stay silent | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
It follows the resignation of Denis Baupin - the Deputy speaker | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
of the French National Assembly - over sexual harassment allegations, | :02:47. | :02:48. | |
Well one of his accusers - Annie Lahmer - has been speaking | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
to French television. She says she hopes the letter will | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
TRANSLATION: The pain has subsided over time, but my personal pain has | :02:56. | :03:10. | |
not subsided. We need to be able to talk about it. But above all, I want | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
this to free up other women so that they feel that they can talk about | :03:17. | :03:18. | |
these kind of incidents. Following the story | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
is our correspondent He told me why these former | :03:23. | :03:23. | |
ministers are taking this stand. This issue has been dominating the | :03:24. | :03:44. | |
French media. Denis Baupin is a member of the Green Party and the | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
significant politician. The Green Party on the left are the forefront | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
of the fight against sexism and so forth. But it is not immune from the | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
clubby masculine atmosphere that this is all about. Denis Baupin, the | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly, very well known in French | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
politics, forced to step down after these eight women, cracker Mac of | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
whom gave named testimony, described how he had sent them explicit text | :04:12. | :04:18. | |
messages or in one case even groped one of them after a meeting. He | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
resigned. Huge outpouring of outrage across the political spectrum, of | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
course. Some woman said that this happen before, and every time there | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
is an outpouring of discussed, but it still goes on, hence this letter | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
today from these eminent women who say, really, this time, things have | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
to stop. In general, things are improving in France, but at a slower | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
pace than in other countries and in a very male atmosphere that French | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
politics still is, and this kind of behaviour does go on. 17 signatories | :04:54. | :05:01. | |
to this letter, Christine le regard one of them. What are they calling | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
for to sort this out? In a way, it is just more rhetoric adding to the | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
many expressions of outrage. They have some particular ideas about | :05:12. | :05:18. | |
toughening legislation. Many of these ideas are already in hand. The | :05:19. | :05:26. | |
women's rights Minister has been on television, saying that she welcomes | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
this intervention but that some of those ideas will be on the statute | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
book, for example limiting the statute of limitations when it comes | :05:35. | :05:42. | |
to sexual aggression. At the moment, the alleged offences of Denis Baupin | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
could not the prosecuted because they happened a long time ago. | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
Women, in the immediate aftermath of an event like that are not happy | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
about coming forward. One idea would be to lengthen the statute of | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
limitations so that after some years it is possible to prosecute and to | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
make it possible for associations to launch prosecutions in order to | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
spare women who are sometimes reluctant to come forward and maim | :06:09. | :06:09. | |
themselves in these cases. Staying with politics - | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
but this time in the UK - because a leading campaigner | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
to leave the European Union has caused outrage after he compared | :06:18. | :06:19. | |
the aims of organisation Boris Johnson said the ambition | :06:20. | :06:21. | |
of some in Europe is to create a single super-state, | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
the same as the Nazi leader. Boris Johnson rarely does "subtle", | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
but his latest intervention in the referendum campaign has | :06:29. | :06:39. | |
sent sparks flying. A leading Leave campaigner, | :06:40. | :06:47. | |
Mr Johnson said the last 2,000 years of European history had seen doomed | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
attempts of recreating the Roman Empire bny trying to unify | :06:52. | :07:01. | |
it. Any mention of Hitler | :07:02. | :07:03. | |
in the EU debate was always Fellow Leave campaigners said his | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
reading of history was right. Boris was making a carefully | :07:08. | :07:16. | |
calibrated historic comparison. All of these figures, | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
Philip II of Spain, Louis XIV of France, | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
Napoleon and Hitler were all trying They wanted to do it by force. | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
The EU is doing it by stealth. But Boris Johnson's words incensed | :07:28. | :07:35. | |
Remain campaigners. I think trying to compare | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
what Hitler and the Nazis did, the millions of people who died in | :07:40. | :07:47. | |
WWII, the Holocaust, to the free democracies of Europe coming | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
together to trade and cooperate, and in the process to help bring | :07:51. | :07:52. | |
peace on the continent of Europe, Europe's history and Britain's place | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
in it has become Glowering over Parliament is | :07:56. | :08:06. | |
Churchill. His own views on Europe are being | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
pressed into service by both sides. The past is being invoked | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
to stir our emotions, our gut feelings, and that is | :08:16. | :08:17. | |
what Boris Johnson mentioned But this referendum | :08:18. | :08:19. | |
is about the future. Today, the Governor of the Bank | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
of England, who doesn't often do interviews, | :08:24. | :08:32. | |
decided to repeat Our judgment is there's a risk | :08:33. | :08:34. | |
that growth And inflation notably higher | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
in the event of a leave. The governor has now strayed | :08:40. | :08:46. | |
into the expression of what is a simple, | :08:47. | :08:48. | |
personal prediction. I don't actually think | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
it is possible for him to say with any absolute accuracy that | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
that will happen. Boris Johnson's comments | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
have whipped up The Leave campaign knows that | :08:59. | :08:59. | |
many big economic voices are sceptical of their case, | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
but this referendum Motor racing now and Max Verstappen | :09:05. | :09:06. | |
has created Formula 1 history with victory in the Spanish Grand | :09:07. | :09:23. | |
Prix. The 18-year-old has become the youngest ever Grand Prix winner | :09:24. | :09:25. | |
in the history of Formula 1, holding Verstappen was only promoted | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
to the senior Red Bull team a week ago and was making | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
his debut for the team. The Mercedes of Lewis Hamilton | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
and Championship leader Nico Rosberg crashed into each other | :09:37. | :09:38. | |
on the opening lap. More for you on the story later | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
in the bulletin with Sport. Police in Bangladesh have arrested | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
a man in connection with the murder Xulhaz Mannan was hacked to death | :09:48. | :09:49. | |
in Dhaka last month. Police say the suspect belongs | :09:50. | :10:02. | |
to an Islamist group. At least 20 people, including | :10:03. | :10:04. | |
academics, secular bloggers and members of religious minorities, | :10:05. | :10:06. | |
have been killed in recent attacks Authorities in Yemen say at least | :10:07. | :10:08. | |
25 police recruits have been killed in a suicide bomb attack | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
in the southern city of Mukalla. The Islamic State group has said it | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
carried out the bombing, which took place as the recruits | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
lined up at a police headquarters. The Philippines' new | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
president-elect, Rodrigo Duterte, has reaffirmed his tough policies, | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
confirming he will press Congress to lift a suspension | :10:32. | :10:33. | |
on the death penalty. He also said he will order security | :10:34. | :10:35. | |
forces to shoot-to-kill suspected | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
criminals who resist arrest. His firm stance on policing | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
was the hallmark of his election campaign, sweeping him to victory | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
during the presidential | :10:46. | :10:46. | |
elections earlier this week. Mr Duterte was nicknamed | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
"The Punisher" for his record as the crime-crushing mayor | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
of the southern town of Davao. His latest announcement on his tough | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
new policies were met with a mixed TRANSLATION: His solution is simple | :11:02. | :11:19. | |
and his political role is there. He says he will restore the death | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
penalty in six months' time. When he says at the Supersport time I will | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
reduce illegal drug manufacturing and distribution it is something | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
significant. You can fuel the hope. You really feel that change is | :11:33. | :11:38. | |
coming. TRANSLATION: The issue of poverty | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
has not been addressed at all. If people commit crimes it is because | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
of desperation brought about by poverty, gross inequality of access | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
to education and a lack of rehabilitation in the Justice and | :11:50. | :11:56. | |
penal systems. The death penalty for North cannot resolve the problems of | :11:57. | :11:57. | |
an unjust system. A former CIA agent has confessed | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
that it was his tip-off to the South African police that led | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
to the arrest of Mr Mandela - considered a terrorist | :12:04. | :12:05. | |
at the time by the United States and others - went on to serve | :12:06. | :12:12. | |
27 years in jail for resisting | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
white minority rule. Later of course he became | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
the country's first black president. The revelation made by American | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
spy Donald Rickard - and reported in the Sunday Times | :12:22. | :12:23. | |
newspaper - appears to confirm long-running suspicions that | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
Mr Mandela was being trailed The BBC's Karen Allen | :12:28. | :12:28. | |
is in Johannesburg. The circumstances around the arrest | :12:29. | :12:39. | |
of the late Nelson Mandela back For the first time we have a CIA | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
operative, the late Donald Rickard, who admits he was the man who tipped | :12:43. | :12:48. | |
the South African police off. It is something that basically | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
confirmed suspicions that have been swirling around South | :12:55. | :12:56. | |
Africa for many decades. You had to remember the context. | :12:57. | :13:03. | |
This was Cold War politics. Back in 1960, the ANC, | :13:04. | :13:05. | |
the resistance movement, Nelson Mandela led the armed wing | :13:06. | :13:07. | |
of that resistance movement, and had received military training | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
in Algeria, in 1962. He was arrested just | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
a few months later. This CIA operative said | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
he did not regret what he did. He said at the time Nelson Mandela | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
was considered the most dangerous communist outside | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
of the Soviet Union, although Nelson Mandela always | :13:28. | :13:29. | |
maintained that he was never | :13:30. | :13:30. | |
a member of the Communist party. It is likely to put more pressure | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
on the CIA to try and release more There have been precious Freedom | :13:34. | :13:40. | |
of Information requests to try and obtain that information | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
and they've managed The African National Congress, | :13:45. | :13:46. | |
the government of South Africa today, a spokesman today said | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
he was not surprised that this CIA operative had been named, | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
and he said he believed there were still members of the CIA | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
meddling in South African politics today, because he said | :13:59. | :14:01. | |
they want regime change. Stay with us on BBC News, | :14:02. | :14:12. | |

that's angered Russia wins the 2016 | :14:18. | :14:19. | |
Eurovision Song Contest. Here in the UK David Cameron has | :14:20. | :14:21. | |
promised more support for children, when they leave local | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
authority care in England. The Prime Minister will use | :14:25. | :14:26. | |
the Queen's Speech this week to outline proposals, | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
including a commitments The Prime Minister has pledged to | :14:30. | :14:50. | |
create a covenant, promise laid out in law to everyone who has been | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
through the care system. It would ensure that those who leave care | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
would be guaranteed access to jobs, housing and a doctor. They would be | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
given a mental until the age of 25 that would offer them both emotional | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
support and practical help. The Prime Minister says this is about | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
ensuring that those who have had a difficult start in life would still | :15:11. | :15:12. | |
have the chance of a brighter future. There will be changes on the | :15:13. | :15:19. | |
issue of adoption. David Cameron has described himself as unashamedly | :15:20. | :15:20. | |
pro-adoption. The latest headlines: Bomb disposal | :15:21. | :15:42. | |
experts have carried out controlled explosion at Manchester United's | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
Old Trafford stadium. Police said it looked | :15:46. | :15:46. | |
like an explosive device. Andy Swiss joins me from Old | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
Trafford. Has there been any development in the last hour on | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
this? It has been a dramatic afternoon. Just to remind you what | :15:57. | :16:02. | |
has happened at Old Trafford. At about 2:40pm, 20 minutes before | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
kick-off, the players were warming up on the pitch, thousands of fans | :16:07. | :16:09. | |
had taken their seats inside the stadium. Then SH came out across the | :16:10. | :16:16. | |
tannoy telling supporters in two stands at Old Trafford that they had | :16:17. | :16:19. | |
to evacuate because of a suspicious package inside the stadium. Both | :16:20. | :16:25. | |
stands started leaving the stadium. Sniffer dogs were brought in. Just | :16:26. | :16:31. | |
after 3pm, when the match had been supposed to kick-off, another | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
message came across the tannoy telling the rest of the fans that | :16:36. | :16:38. | |
the match had been abandoned. Then they had to leave the stadium as | :16:39. | :16:43. | |
well. They left the stadium calmly, we have to say. There was no great | :16:44. | :16:50. | |
panic. Emergency services arrived. Bomb disposal units arrived. They | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
went inside the stadium. 6pm, three hours after the match had been | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
abandoned, a statement was released by Greater Manchester Police saying | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
that a controlled explosion had been carried out at Old Trafford on what | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
was described as an incredibly lifelike explosive device. Full | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
assessment has been concluded and it has been found that the device was | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
not viable. Although it was not viable, it has caused huge | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
disruption for thousands of fans who had come to watch this match and | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
also what was potentially a pivotal match at the end of the Premier | :17:26. | :17:28. | |
League season. That will now be rescheduled. This was a significant | :17:29. | :17:34. | |
match for Manchester United. Do we know when it might be rescheduled? | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
This was supposed to be the last weekend of the Premier League | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
season. There are no other Premier League matches to come. That makes | :17:44. | :17:48. | |
it particularly problematic Allsop Manchester United play in the FA Cup | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
final on Saturday. There had been suggestions that they would replay | :17:54. | :17:56. | |
the match this week. There is no other real time slot. Other clubs | :17:57. | :18:01. | |
apart from Manchester United, it is the end of their season. Players | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
aren't you to go for international duty so they will have to try and | :18:07. | :18:09. | |
reschedule the fixture for some stage this week. -- players are due | :18:10. | :18:19. | |
to go. Let's get the sports news. The final Manchester United game of | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
the season was called off the cause of that suspect package. 75,000 fans | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
were left disappointed by evacuate before kick-off. The match will be | :18:29. | :18:34. | |
replayed on shoes they 17th of May. United had hopes of reaching the | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
Champions League next season but local rivals Manchester city got the | :18:40. | :18:42. | |
point they needed to secure a top four finish. They drew 1-1 at | :18:43. | :18:53. | |
Swansea city in Manuel Pellegrini 's last game as city manager. We knew | :18:54. | :19:01. | |
that we needed one point today to have a spot in the Champions League | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
next year. And that was what we did. Were you aware of the problems at | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
Old Trafford, that the game was not being played, and did that affect | :19:12. | :19:18. | |
wings for you? We didn't know before the game that the game was | :19:19. | :19:24. | |
abandoned, we didn't know why. I hope that it was nothing important. | :19:25. | :19:30. | |
But we were just depending on what we must do here, and things were in | :19:31. | :19:38. | |
our hands. The Newcastle manager Rafa Benitez was given a standing | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
ovation by his fans after they thrashed Tottenham 5-1 at St James | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
Park. He has a break clause in his contract he would not be drawn on | :19:47. | :19:53. | |
his future. That defeat for pot them and the 4-0 win for Arsenal over | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
Aston Villa means that Arsenal leapfrog Spurs into second on the | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
table. It was an emotional game for Mikel Arteta who played what is | :20:03. | :20:05. | |
likely to be his last game for Arsenal. For the manager it was a | :20:06. | :20:10. | |
rewarding day. It was harder than ever this season but in the end, the | :20:11. | :20:16. | |
fact that we did not give up, we were under huge pressure, we kept | :20:17. | :20:20. | |
our togetherness, and that is part of the DNA of this club. And we have | :20:21. | :20:26. | |
done that to the last minute of the season. And that is why we are an | :20:27. | :20:33. | |
front of them. Champions Leicester completed their dream season with a | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
1-1 draw away at 2015 winners, Chelsea. John Terry spoke on the | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
pitch. He reiterated he would like to stay with the club. He has not | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
decided yet whether to accept a new one-year contract extension. This is | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
how the top of the Premier League ends with all but that abandoned | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
Manchester United against Bournemouth game having been played. | :20:56. | :21:01. | |
That defeat to Spurs moves them down to third with Manchester City | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
climbing that final Champions League place. Southampton after, but they | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
are guaranteed to join Manchester United in next season 's Europa | :21:10. | :21:16. | |
League. Max Verstappen became the youngest driver to win a race as he | :21:17. | :21:19. | |
took Sunday's Spanish Grand Prix. The 18-year-old took advantage of | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
Mercedes favourites Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg crashing in the | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
first lap. It was his debut race for Red Bull. The previous record was | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
held by Sebastian Vettel at 21. After the race was Berg had this to | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
say about this incident but Hamilton. I tried to stop them as | :21:38. | :21:44. | |
early and as clear as possible to make sure that he does not try to go | :21:45. | :21:49. | |
down the inside. I was really surprised, didn't expect him to go | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
down the inside anyway and I was surprised that he did. And that was | :21:54. | :22:00. | |
it, really. After that, next thing I knew we were in the sand trap. One | :22:01. | :22:07. | |
week before the 29th birthday, Andy Murray has chalked up a notable | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
victory over rival Novak Djokovic. He gave a superb display to win the | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
final of the Italian open, beating the world number 16-3, 6-3. Serena | :22:16. | :22:22. | |
Williams ended a nine-month title drought by taking the women's event. | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
She beat fellow American Madison keys to seal her fourth- when Rome. | :22:29. | :22:39. | |
-- her fourth title in Rome. Ukrainian politicians have held | :22:40. | :22:45. | |
their victory in the Eurovision Song Contest as a continent wide | :22:46. | :22:52. | |
endorsement of their position in the conflict. On the other hand, Russia, | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
which came third, claimed that the competition was hijacked if | :22:58. | :23:06. | |
politics. The final vote. And the dramatic moment Ukraine conquered | :23:07. | :23:18. | |
Eurovision. The winner, Jamala. Ukraine had beaten its bigger rival | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
Russia into third place. Jamala sings about the year, 1944, when | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
Josef Stalin ordered the deportation of all Crimean Tartars. Many people | :23:30. | :23:35. | |
interpret the song as a comic on Crimea today, after Russian | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
annexation. Russia has reacted angrily to the Ukrainian win. After | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
the contest, live on Russian TV, there were accusations of a fix. | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
Russia had won the popular vote, but not the support of the jury 's. | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
Studio guests claimed that the singer was a victim of political | :23:55. | :23:59. | |
voting. In Moscow today there's been a chorus of disapproval of the | :24:00. | :24:04. | |
Eurovision result. Politicians have been dismissing the contest as a | :24:05. | :24:08. | |
political battlefield, claiming that the Russian defeat is part of a | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
Western campaign against Moscow. One senator suggested that Russia should | :24:14. | :24:16. | |
boycott next year 's competition in Ukraine. This Russian MP believes | :24:17. | :24:23. | |
the West is waging an information war on Russia that has now spread to | :24:24. | :24:29. | |
Eurovision. TRANSLATION: The jury 's were | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
influenced by an information campaign against Russia, she tells | :24:35. | :24:37. | |
me. It claims that everything in Russia is bad. That all sportsmen | :24:38. | :24:42. | |
take doping and that Russians are aggressive. Russia went all out to | :24:43. | :24:49. | |
win this year 's Eurovision. If it does take part next year, and if | :24:50. | :24:56. | |
relations with Chievo remain pens, the Ukraine could prove a difficult | :24:57. | :24:57. | |
stage. The world is more interconnected | :24:58. | :25:17. | |
than ever before. It is becoming more connected every day. Building | :25:18. | :25:25. | |
walls will not change that. In politics and in life, ignorance is | :25:26. | :25:31. | |
not a virtue. APPLAUSE | :25:32. | :25:43. | |
It is not cool to not know what you are talking about. President Obama | :25:44. | :25:52. | |
