the ousted president yanukovych will be spent to the international criminal courtment he remains on the run. also, it's the trial for all to see as a judge rules that the court case of oscar pistorius will be televised. >> it is in my view in the public interest that within allowable elements the goings on during the trial will be covered as i decide. >> the world's biggest professional networking site wanting a bigger size of big china. >> david, that is linkedin in mandarin. it launches its own chinese language version. here's the problem. censorship. how to please beijing when others, like twitter or facebook are being blocked.

hello. midday here in london, 7:00 a.m. in washington, 3:00 p.m. in south sudan. programs the harshest time of the day in one of the most dangerous countries in the world for newborn babies. because south sudan, this impoverished, desperately hot country has one of the highest rates of mortality in their first 24 hours of life. this is a global problem. the charity save the children which has been looking at infant mortality, has found a million newborns die within the first critical 24 hours. they have registered improvements for children who do get through that first day. figures back in 1990, for example, show the number of children under the age of 5 every year stood at a massive 12.9 million.

move forward to 2012 and the number has gone down to 6.6 million. that's a drop of almost half. those crucial first 24 hours, though, remain very much the sticking point. george alagiah is in south sudan for us. we can join him now. george, over to you. >> reporter: thank you, david. welcome to the hospital. we're in the deep south of the country, extremely remote part of south sudan. yet this hospital has probably the best reputation in the country for looking after mothers and their babies. i'm in the maternity ward. and this lady gave birth just a couple of days ago. thank you for being willing to talk with us. how was your experience? >> my experience was very hard. because the way i delivered, the legs came first and the head was still inside. it was very hard. the hospital helped me a lot. thanks to the hospital and all

those who support the hospital because i could have not delivered. >> thank you very much. i'm sorry to interrupt. clearly there were complications with that birth. the truth is if this lady had been anywhere else in south sudan she may well not have survived, her baby may not have survived. 40% of women here in south sudan give birth without any assistance at all. a woman stands a one in seven chance of dying during pregnancy. no wonder they call this one of the most dangerous places on earth for a woman to give birth. and i found out for myself what that means when i went to the eastern edge of this country to eastern equitoria.

>> reporter: it's a blistering 37 degrees centigrade under the african sun. a group of pregnant women from the area are walking to their anti-natal class. the midwife at this health center supported by save the children is one of 300 for a population of 10 million. in the uk, we have 21,000 midwives. and that's regarded as too few by some. angelina had delivered a baby just a few hours earlier, and she took me to see the new mother and baby. after some discussion, the elder women said it was okay to go in. >> thank you very much for letting us into your home, especially on the day your baby has been born. >> translator: i have my first four children here in the village. but for this one we decided to go to the clinic. it's much cleaner than here. >> so i guess this is the way things should be. a little baby girl delivered in the clinic but now back home. in the west of south sudan, it's a different story. nine of ten women get nowhere near a clinic. that's all right, but what happens when there are complications? the journey to the village took

an hour in our four-wheel-drive vehicle. imagine doing it on foot. you can't call an ambulance here. so it's over there, is it? within minutes, it became obvious that the experience of childbirth is much more different in this town. nakina lost her baby last year. the midwife here monica took me to meet a woman who lost her child just last week. lakuta told me she was away from home, collecting grass to re-roof her hut when she realized she started bleeding. it took her three days to get to a clinic, too late to save her baby. we were on our way out and margaret and monica came across this woman, an example of the

challenges they face as midwives. latrota had been to her natal classes. she have in many ways a model mother. but she came back to her village here, it was a protracted labor, long labor and, sadly, she lost her child. can you explain to me, monica, why she didn't go back to the clinic when her labor started? >> actually we have asked her and she said she was brought by the elders. >> it must be difficult for you. here you are in a clinic. it's only 45 minutes away. and yet children are dying. what goes through your mind when that happens. >> it is really painful. >> the welfare of children has been a particular focus for aid agencies.

there's been remarkable progress around the world. but for too many children, the first day of life is still their only one. well, i've come away from the maternity ward now. i'm outside. and i've got with me justin forsyth, the boss at save the children, the charity that came up with this figure. one million children dying within the first 24 hours. justin, i wonder if you haven't chosen the bleakest picture possible. i said in my report there's been remarkable progress for children generally around the world. >> there has been. we have had huge progress, amazing program. half the numbers have coming down. it's come down. the biggest number last year in history fell by 700,000. this program is inspiring us. within that progress, achilles' heel is newborn. babies die the first day but also in the first month. we know we can do something about that. >> i traveled a little bit around south sudan. and i've got to go some of the

things you want to happen. i think you want 65 times more doctors, nurses and midwives. that seems so unrealistic. >> well, this is the toughest place in the world to do it. we just walked around. we saw a mom who would have probably died in the bush with a breach baby. i think even here you can make a difference. there's 300 midwives in south sudan. we can do these extraordinary things. >> how do you do it? this is also one of the poorest countries on the planet. >> but only a few years ago, with the aids crisis, we were told it was impossible, that we would never be able to provide anti viral to people. we have 9 million people on anti-virals. it will cost a lot of money. not just aid, but money from government themselves and the private sector. but this is a problem that is solvable. >> rather than go for midwives, wouldn't it be able to train

traditional birth attendants. >> we need both. we do find community health workers. we need arms. why we need midwives, they come to a hospital like this and get expert care. it's not just that the baby might be upside-down. they might get a small infection, the airway blocked. you do need a trained midwife to save a life. >> just one word before i hand back. some of the people in the hospital have come from far away. they have been fleeing the fighting. that is depressing. as justin forsyth was saying, sit a challenging situation. well, it just got a lot more challenging because of the fighting. i suspect things might have to get worse before they get better. back to you now. >> george, pretty desperate separation, isn't it. george alagiah in south sudan. this is coming out of the

northeast of nigeria. ap news agency is reported dozens of students are killed in what is being described as a pre-dawn attack at a college. they expect islamist militants carried out the attack. they set a hostel ablaze. they shot and killed many of those who tried to escape through the windows. not clear how many have been killed. a military spokesman said they are still gathering corpses. there could be 40 at least. that news just coming in from north east nigeria. the ousted ukrainian president viktor yanukovych should be tried in court. no one knows quite where he is

at the moment. parliament failed to announce a new coalition government today. that has been put back until thursday to allow consultations to continue. let's catch up on the very latest. because tim willcox is in kiev for us. tim? . >> david, thanks very much indeed. this was used by the secret police and hundreds, if not thousands of people, were executed in this building in the basement here. just in front of it a shrine to the people who lost their lives. this is looking over independence square. you can see independence square just below us and the barricades. let's speak to a former diplomat, ukrainian diplomat. just talking about the revolution, the overthrow of

viktor yanukovych, it's a long journey ahead, isn't it? >> yes. . there is no joy, no victory because we are still continue to go bury our heros and those who died here. there is a strong sense that yanukovych is not the case. people want to us punish those who are responsible for those terrible killings, senseless killings. but people are still demanding we need a new country, uncorrupted, transparent government, efficient government. we should be listening to people and their demands. >> so is it a revolution at the moment or a change of president which happened constitutionally because the government decided to do that? >> well, again, you just mentioned this is just the beginning of a long way, a long road. so the people here behind us are demanding the change, real change. and those people have already

proven there is nothing they want they can't do. >> very briefly, because we haven't much time, i'm afraid. the protest movement, just give us history about that. even though it looked chaotic in the last few days, it's been very tightly run. >> well, correct. what is fascinating about in is it was done by people. there's no strong organization, no political party, no movements behind it. so people gathered to protect and stand for their rights. and they decided they will stay and they created their economy, culture and social life. there is a stage back not far from here working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week broadcasting on media. politicians are coming here. artists are performing here. people are donating money here. people from all over ukraine bringing food here.

>> thank you indeed for joining us. we heard about an interim government being formed by thursday. but campaigning officially began today for presidential elections which will be held may 25th. back to you. >> tim, thanks very much indeed. we have just heard that vitale klitschko has announced that he will be standing for that post for president in the ballot in may. he said that just a few moments ago. do stay with us here on "bbc world news". an often closed society just weeks before afghanistan gets the polls. how the first live tv debates will shake the campaign. that allows you to eat all that you can. the hotel gym is short for gymnasium. the hotel pool is usually filled with water. and the best dot com for booking hotels, is hotels.com. it's on the internet, but you probably knew that.

the united states has asked iraq to explain media reports

that it is buying weapons worth hundreds of millions of dollars from iran. the u.s. says that any deal like that would be a direct violation of the u.n.'s arms embargo on iran. the contract by $195 million worth of arms was signed november of last year, just after the iraqi prime minister nuri al maliki came back from lobbying obama administration for weapons to fight al qaeda linked militants. a state department spokeswoman said the united states has already provided more than $15 billion in equipment and training to iraqi armed service and security and is now seeking clarification from iraq. >> any transfer is in direct violation of 1747. we are seeking clarification on this matter from the government

of iraq and to ensure that iraqi officials understand the limits that international law plates on arms trade with iran. >> thanks for joining us here now. i'm not sure who to start with here. can we verify any of this? >> well, the iraqi government did not deny it. he did not confirm it as well. the spokesperson of the iraqi prime minister said that actually we have -- we are entitled to buy arms from whichever water we decide. of course buying weapons from iran would be violation is on those actions. >> do we get anything clear from tehran? >> the iranian ambassador to baghdad has denied it saying we haven't signed such a deal. but if the iraqis are interested, they need arms, we are willing to consider it. so that's the official iranian view that we haven't done it.

obviously reuters news agency has just broken the story. they say they have seen documents that show that there's been quite a bit of arms deals within iran and iraq. and they mentioned a figure of 195 million, which is quite a bit. >> it's quite a bit. what do you get for your money for 195 million that you're not getting from washington? >> again, this is happening against the back drop of an yon going military operation in western iraqi, in the sunni heartland of iraq launched by the iraqi shia-led government. now the government is fighting al qaeda linked sunni extremists, fighters. also sunni tribal fighters in those areas. and the iraqis are desperately in need for ammunition and arms. and when they deal with the americans they hit sometimes that brick wall of bureaucracy

and the walls and debate inside the united states whether to support the maliki government or not. while i think it's easier for them to do business with iran. >> it doesn't help to put off a major donor like the americans, of course. in a sense, do you think it's tehran that has the most to lose from this coming out? after all, we're in a highly sensitive stage in terms of u.s./iranian relations at the moment. >> yes. but under u.s./iran relations we're still within the nuclear sphere and not sort of venturing out of that limited area. the the fact is that iran is a major exporter of arms or producer of arms. i have a figure here in 2006 before an embargo is place on iran, iran was selling to 57 countries, arms. and in 2003 the figure i've seen

they exported $100 million worth of arms. 2003. we don't have any latest news. but since iran has been put under international sanctions it is illegal for iran to export arms. but nevertheless, i think there's quite a bit going on with iran's allies in various plays, including in the west bank, in the gaza strip. we have seen iranian arms in various places. >> i suppose there's a sense of natural bedfellows in terms of supporting one another. and would this sort of revelation stop them, do you think? or carry on anyway. >> the iraqi government, you mean? not likely. because the iraqi prime minister, i have to say he has succeeded to rally support within his shia community to the yon going campaign in western iraq. and according to his

spokesperson we are in need of ammunition. this is actually a fact. there is political significance in that deal. you know, the iraqi elections are looming in april. and any shia politician who is betting for the prime minister's office like the current prime minister al maliki will definitely need the iranian endorsement for that bid. >> thank you both very much. just five weeks to go before the afghan presidential election. the outcome is going to be very closely watched, not just in afghanistan as it is going to decide who takes over from the current president hamid karzai. one novelty is television debates which are modeled on bbc question time. we went to watch a recording of the program. >> reporter: the people in this studio audience have made difficult and often dangerous journeys across afghanistan. they settle into a tv studio

built in the 1970s that has remarkably survived afghanistan's many conflicts intact. now, the stage for something not seen before here, direct questioning of politicians on the air. the audience is drawn from a cross-section of afghan society and their questions are varied. one woman wants to know why weddings are so expensive. one, illiterate, wants to know what will happen for those who can't read. 5 of 11 candidates are in this debate, including the brother of the sitting president. all feel there's too little access because private tv channels are not open. >> i have some concern about private television stations owned by some of the candidates. they are occupying public space, with their candidate speeches. that's unfair. they should allow us to appear on their television too.

>> insecurity means campaigning cannot be done in the usual way here. that's what makes these kinds of program so important. >> a democracy of a completely new kind for afghanistan. being able to ask candidates directly what they want for their lives. >> she does get to ask a question about women's education. all of the candidates here are in favor. that at least is one of the big changes in afghan politics since the taliban fell. a democratic election with tv debates is another. david loin, bbc news, kabul. quite a development, isn't it? thanks for watching here on "gmt". coming up in the next half hour, a bit more tv for you. the trial that will be televised. the court has just made legal history in south africa by ruling that parts of oscar pistorius's murder trial is boeing to be broadcast on

television. the judge said he took the decision for principals of open justice. we'll be asking a legal expert who is in johannesburg for his view on month you that might inform the pistorius trial. thanks for watching "gmt". stay with us. dad, it says your afib puts you at 5 times greater risk of a stroke. that's why i take my warfarin every day. but it looks like maybe we should ask your doctor about pradaxa. in a clinical trial, pradaxa® (dabigatran etexilate mesylate)... ...was proven superior to warfarin at reducing the risk of stroke. and unlike warfarin, with no regular blood tests or dietary restrictions. hey thanks for calling my doctor. sure. pradaxa is not for people with artificial heart valves. don't stop taking pradaxa without talking to your doctor. stopping increases your risk of stroke. ask your doctor if you need to stop pradaxa before surgery or a medical or dental procedure. pradaxa can cause serious, sometimes fatal, bleeding. don't take pradaxa if you have abnormal bleeding

or have had a heart valve replaced. seek immediate medical care for unexpected signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. pradaxa may increase your bleeding risk if you're 75 or older, have a bleeding condition or stomach ulcer, take aspirin, nsaids, or blood thinners... ...or if you have kidney problems, especially if you take certain medicines. tell your doctors about all medicines you take. pradaxa side effects include indigestion, stomach pain, upset, or burning. if you or someone you love has afib not caused by a heart valve problem... ...ask your doctor about reducing the risk of stroke with pradaxa. grareal ginger. real taste.e. real ahhh

welcome to "gmt" on "bbc world news". in this half hour, trial on tv. that's the ruling for oscar pistorius as he prepares for court accused of murdering his girlfriend reeva steenkamp. it is a setback for the most famous paraolympian. they fought against the move. as straightforward as it looks, well, question marks over china's record for teaching math said the english look to shanghai's recent success. aaron is back talking about the

world's most expensive office space. >> david, it's a global survey. i'll tell you, right here in london it takes the top spot. moscow jumps from 10th to sixth most expensive. and lavos in nigeria makes the top 10. we'll talk why it demands the big bucks. in south africa, a judge has decided to allow television coverage of what promises to be one of the highest profiles to be televised in the country. oscar pistorius stands in the dark accused of murdering his girlfriend reeva steenkamp. >> reporter: a year since the murder and the beginning of this

long-awaited trial, under scrutiny not just a global celebrity but the south african justice tomorrow. >> it is in my view in the public interest that within allowable limits the goings on during the trial be covered as i have come to decide to ensure that a greater number of persons in the community who are unable to attend these proceedings are able to follow wherever they may be. >>reporter: oscar pistorius, known as grade runner, a double amputee able to compete with able-bodied athletes in the olympics. >> i'm so happy about the outcome. the last two days has been successful. the outcome has been one of the best days of my life. >> reporter: in london, he won gold and silver medals and set sprinting world records. but at his house in the early hours of valentine's day last

year, oscar pistorius shot and killed his girlfriend. they were a glamorous couple. reeva steenkamp, a model. >> it's not how you go out and you make your exit. it is so important. you even made an impact in a positive way or negative way. >> reporter: in the heart of the trial, exactly what happened that fateful night. oscar said he was awoken by a noise, heard a burglar, and fired a pistol. the prosecution says he put on his artificial legs, knew his girlfriend was in the bathroom and shot her deliberately. a judge will have to decide which version of events is true. if found guilty of murder, oscar pistorius could face a lifetime in prison. and with the courtroom now open to the cameras, every twist and turn will be in the full

spotlight of the world's media. emily buchanan, "bbc world news". well, a legal expert on south african media joins me from johannesburg. what's your initial response to the judge's ruling? >> reporter: well, i'm quite excited about the ruling. it has taken us leaps and bounds forward. we're going to be able to see what happens in our courts, which is something many people haven't been able to do in the past. it literally allows people hundreds of kilometers away to sit in court and observe how our justice system operates. >> we had televised pictures for the bail hearing, didn't we? so how rare is this? has it never happened before in a full court case? >> reporter: it has happened. but under much more restricted circumstances. the main thing being limited broadcasts, limited live broadcasts were allowed in the past.

we will see much more of the trial happening. we will see some witnesses being filmed as they give their testimony. so, yeah, a much bigger part of the trial. people will see a much bigger part of the trial. >> the judge has been careful to allow out some restrictions. are they so minimal as not to affect the coverage? >> reporter: i think the restrictions are probably in the interest of a fair trial. we don't want distractions happening. we don't want the judge or mr. pistorius's representatives being distracted from their thinking. so what he has done is he's basically limited where the cameras can be. and a few other factors as well. >> is this the case to pick to launch what you see in terms of coverage and openness of trials. you could not get a higher profile case. i suppose everyone will have reason to look at it.

but there will be plenty for grandstanding by lawyers and indeed for witnesses caught up in this whole affair. >> i think this is probably the perfect case to actually, as our constitutional courts said, have an experimenting in live broadcasting. i think the fact that pistorius is well represented by really competent lawyers, those factors are certainly going to make sure he receives as fair a trial as possible. so i couldn't think of a better trial to have this major leap forward. >> do you think it matters at all that the decision has been taken that the lawyers weren't too keen on this? >> reporter: you know, the decision has been taken. they argued their case before. the judge has made his ruling. so i think they're going to have to go with it. of course there are avenues they could follow. if they do, we will see what happens. >> and i guess also as a trial

in itself regardless of whether the tv cameras would be in or not, this is going to grip a nation, isn't it? well, i think we seem to have lost lucien there. can you hear me? no. we lost him there. a legal media expert in south africa. let's move on now. here's a question. why are children in shanghai quite so good at math? it's the question that we are asking as we embark on a visit to shanghai. it twice topped the league tables. as our correspondent jon sudworth reports, it is highly questionable. >> if only english children were this clever. elizabeth is here to find out

how shanghai does it. it's a system in which hard work and long study hours pay off. in math, according to the pisa rankings, the city's 15-year-olds are three years ahead of their uk counterparts. but rather than something to be emulated, critics suggest that the system here is in fact, deeply flawed. china's strict residency rules mean that a huge number of the most disadvantaged students are missing from this picture of excellence. a city of 23 million people should, according to the global average, have almost 300,000 15-year-olds. but shanghai has only a little more than 100,000. this, the critics argue, cannot be explained purely by the low birth rate. many thousands of 15-year-olds appear to have vanished into

thin air. students like 14-year-old whose parents are migrants. despite having lived and worked in shanghai for nine years they don't have full residency papers. so she cannot go to a shanghai high school. there's nothing we can do about it, her dad says. my daughter is having to leave shanghai not because she wants to but because of the system. despite the criticisms, elizabeth is convinced there's much to learn from shanghai. >> after all, it's the attitude. there's a strong belief that math gets you everywhere. it is a really important subject. and everybody can achieve in math. secondly, i think it's the focus on the core basics. so making sure every student gets a arithmetic, they can do times tables, long division. >> but there are other criticisms too. chinese pupils complain about how highly pressurized this system is. they may also be surprised to

learn that some of it is now being considered forex port to england. jon sudworth, bbc news, shanghai. >> okay. time to catch up on business. >> very expensive stuff. they work it out by per work station. like how many desks can one put into an office. you have seen upstairs at this place, haven't you? let me explain. thanks, david. hello there. here's the question, where in the world is the best place to do business? we have been talking a lot lately about the rising cost of residential property as the global economy recovers. in europe, the average cost per work station is now, show me this, $8,800 per year. now, that reflects an overall prize of 0.2% with staggering regional differences. listen to this. dublin saw a 12% rise whilst paris reported a 12% drop in 2013.

so, yes. i know you're asking, where is the most expensive place to do business in the world? it is right here in london. that top prize, a work station just over $26,000. that's a lot of money. two of the biggest are lagos and moscow. moscow moved from 10th to 6th place in the last 12 months. whilst lagos straight into the top ten, reflecting the commodity boom. well, earlier i spoke to richard golding and i asked why london was such an expensive city for office space? >> well, london is by some margin ahead of hong kong. it will will continue to be a global location. there's a supply and demand piece taking place at the moment. there's a lot of demand in the city. i think also the the fact that it's got the best talent pool,

very good talent pool, as well as being time zone. it has a good international time zone. as well as a very good international air infrastructure. all those things start to play. i think the big thing is given the cost do you need to be inasmuch space here or how do you use your building, which is going to be very expensive. >> okay. let's talk about the professional networking site link linkedin. it is expanding into china with a new chinese language version. there it is. the company is hoping the service will attract as many as the 140 million professionals as possible. here's the big issue, censorship. other tech companies such as google, facebook and youtube has clashed with china over internet freed. dave lee joins us. david, linkedin ceo says it

disagrees with government censorship. despite that, they're going to give it a go. >> they disagree but not enough to stop the massive opportunities. 140 million are professionals. when we look at china's mobile market, we look at china's facebook. there's twitter and china's google. but we don't hear about china's linkedin. >> it's interesting. so pleasing beijing and toeing the censorship line is key for them. >> what we think is going to happen is they will disable a few of the functions on the website. one is the open discussion forums that the rest of the world has. so they won't be open. rather than linking linkedin to

facebook or twitter, it will link to the chinese services. so there will be tweaks there. >> what's interesting is it has the english version in china. i think there's 4 million chinese people signed up for that. now they are doing this chinese language version. the ceo of this site says we can get china connected to the global community. i'm thinking i don't read cantonese or mandarin. this is really for the chinese market, isn't it? >> it is. it is much the reputation outside china as it is in. it is making sure they are transparent on censor championship and not pandering too much to the chinese government, keeping its reputation in other place, particularly the u.s. and uk. as you say, the potential for communication between mandarin speakers and the rest of the

world is perhaps smaller than the ceo would like people to believe. >> just briefly, these chinese versions of twitter and facebook, how do they toe the line? or do they get around censorship? >> they absolutely do toe the line. we don't see chinese users being that bothered by that. they would rather use those services that are tailored for them rather than a watered down version of a social network from the western world. many people see it as a problem on these services. >> dave, great stuff as always. dave lee joining us there. that's it with the business. look at that. sorry. >> what's wrong with that? >> the logo is nice. that's it with the business, dave. >> do stay with us here on "bbc world news". sherlock holmes is a seminar shanghai. finland is fanatical about downton abbey. what shows translate and why.

hello. welcome back. i'm david eades. the top stories this history. south sudan is one of the most dangerous nations on earth in which to give birth according to a new report from a charity save the children. around the world every year a million babies die within the first 24 hours of their life. ukraine's parliament has decided to refer its former president viktor yanukovych to the international criminal court in the hague. they say he was responsible for the deaths of 100 protesters. in ukraine, the hunt is on for the ousted president mr. yanukovych. hasn't been seen since his plane was blocked from taking off on

saturday. it is understood he escaped to a stronghold of support for the former president. well, let's go over to daniel sanford. daniel, they seek him there, they seek him there. what's the word there? >> reporter: well, the concrete information remains the same as yesterday. yanukovych's official security detail left him -- he gave the option to leave and they took it. that was the last time that anybody officially saw him. that information comes direct from his official security detail. he hasn't been seen since then. beyond that where his whereabouts are speculation, whether or not he took a boat from here or whether or not he's in one of the russian bases here or whether he somehow escaped.

but there is one interesting detail that emerged in the last few minutes. that is the security detail said one of the people with him at that moment when they left him was a man called andre, one of his closest aides. he has spoken to one of the biggest news agencies here and said he was with yanukovych to submit his resignation, that he left him soon after that. and then saying that after that andre, on his way back to kiev, was shot and quite badly injured. but the suggestion is at that point he was no longer with president yanukovych. >> interesting developments, daniel. i understand a majority of russian speaking there anyway. the story goes it was handed to ukraine byyears ago.

>> look, president yanukovych doesn't really have support. that i can kind in the eastern ukraine. he didn't seem to have very much support there. we can't find many people who regard him as being a successful leader. of course they would prefer still to have the president in power to those who empower now who they regard as people who are a great threat to their russian identity. certainly people holding much of a candle for president yanukovych. and no one is going to hand him over to the authorities. he has particularly strong support here either. what people are looking here is to moscow. people in sebatipol have walked away from authorities. they say they are prepared to shed blood to defend what they regard as a russian city they regard in kiev, to use their

words, as western ukrainian fascist. >> daniel, thanks very much indeed. daniel sandford there. now, tv used to be pretty simple, didn't it? just a handful of channels to pick from. individual programs can find their way to hundreds of different channels. and they can do it at the touch of a button. so tv companies have the job of working out what audiences do want in a globalized market. >> the man speaking is of course johnny clarkson.

the joke might lose something in translation, but iran is rather partial to "top gear." >> in finland -- >> what's number one in british tv in finland? >> at the moment it's definitely "downton abbey". >> heartbeat. we are making re-runs. and the audience is absolutely amazing. >> tv is increasingly globalized. if you want to go shopping you come to events like this. this event began 37 years ago. then it was in a small hotel in brighton with two dozen people. now you can see we have row after row after row. 600 booths, 720 buyers all watching television. 10 hours a day, determining what the world is going to be watching on tv.

increasingly, it's global producers creating global brands and then adapting them. take dancing. unlike britain, in india there are no nasty judges. >> best performance i have ever seen. >> if i'm honest, probably the judges tend to be on the more positive side so there's less criticism. another example of that might be -- i was watching a version of it in panama and found even in week 1 the judges were handing out 10s. >> the u.s. is suffering at the moment. no matter how good a series you have and you put it on the schedule, the figures are quite low. >> why? >> i don't know. that is something i have discussed with my colleagues all over europe. and everybody is feeling somehow

the same. >> the new drama super power in the middle east is turkey. and the market everyone wants to break is china. this is their "masterchef." >> benedict? >> i don't know. he's got a nickname in chinese fans. >> these are the world's most powerful tv viewers. but here a smile on their faces and it could be very big news. bbc news, liverpool. 43 people have been killed in an attack on a nigerian school by suspected islamist militants. the attackers entered the school at night, slitting the throats of some of the students, shooting others. on monday, the nigerian president promised more protection for the areas worst affected by violence. that's one of the stories you'll pick up on? >> absolutely, david. more and more stories coming out

from survivors of that attack. we'll take you live in 20 minutes time to get the very latest on the story from nigeria. we're also looking today here on "impact" on infant mortality in india. the highest number of combined fitt first day and stillborns. and you...rent from national. because only national lets you choose any car in the aisle... and go. and only national is ranked highest in car rental customer satisfaction by j.d. power.

my dad has aor afib.brillation, he has the most common kind... ...it's not caused by a heart valve problem. dad, it says your afib puts you at 5 times greater risk of a stroke. that's why i take my warfarin every day. but it looks like maybe we should ask your doctor about pradaxa. in a clinical trial, pradaxa® (dabigatran etexilate mesylate)... ...was proven superior to warfarin at reducing the risk of stroke. and unlike warfarin, with no regular blood tests or dietary restrictions. hey thanks for calling my doctor. sure. pradaxa is not for people with artificial heart valves. don't stop taking pradaxa without talking to your doctor. stopping increases your risk of stroke. ask your doctor if you need to stop pradaxa before surgery or a medical or dental procedure. pradaxa can cause serious, sometimes fatal, bleeding. don't take pradaxa if you have abnormal bleeding

or have had a heart valve replaced. seek immediate medical care for unexpected signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. pradaxa may increase your bleeding risk if you're 75 or older, have a bleeding condition or stomach ulcer, take aspirin, nsaids, or blood thinners... ...or if you have kidney problems, especially if you take certain medicines. tell your doctors about all medicines you take. pradaxa side effects include indigestion, stomach pain, upset, or burning. if you or someone you love has afib not caused by a heart valve problem... ...ask your doctor about reducing the risk of stroke with pradaxa. but we're not staying in the kitchen. just start the slow cooker, add meat and pour in campbell's slow cooker sauce. by the time you get home, dinner is practically done. and absolutely delicious. everyone is cooking with new campbell's slow cooker sauces.
