this is bbc america. and now, live from london, "bbc world news". hello. our top stories. welcoming president obama to the vatican. could today's satellite images show the missing debris of the airliner floating in the southern indian ocean. he spent 46 years on death row. why this man has been granted a retrial. and osama bin laden's son-in-law has been found guilty

of conspiring to kill u.s. after the 9/11 attacks. thanks for joining us. a moment of history in the vatican this morning. president obama is meeting pope francis a year after he took office. they shook hands around a half hour ago. they are expected to find common ground when it comes to the facts against global policy. alan johnston was watching live with me when it happened. we both remarked on the openness of the body language. they seemed to have a very friendly demeanor as they met. >> they did, indeed.

we saw president obama get delivered by his motorcade into their cobbled courtyard in the heart of the papal pass lass and processed through the magnificent marble corridors in the papal palace, meeting pope francis in a room outside the papal library. then the two went into the small throne room where they were to conduct their meeting. you're right, the atmosphere seemed as good as it could be. mr. obama, relaxed and easy. the two of them chatted. we know how that president obama said he was a great admirer of the pope, thanked him for the audience. and we know indeed that president obama is an admirer of pope francis. in the hours before this meeting, interview with one of

the big newspapers here in which president obama couldn't have been more skwrep rouse in his praise of the pope said he didn't just preach the gospel but lived it. said the pope was right to focused on global poverty around the world. and right to say too many people had been left behind of globalization. it's too easy to accept the gross in equalities we see around us in so many countries. president obama feels this is his fight too. he was confronting the same issues of in equality back home in the united states. and he clearing hope in pope francis he can build an alliance around this kphaourcrucial insu in an effort to build a fairer world. >> what's the politics of this? can either man really influence the other?

>> well, there is a huge amount of criticism and less substance of this. but they are proud to see the president of the united states coming to their door. it shows the world is listening more and more as the papacy goes on. you get the sense that this pope is making a real impact. if you want to talk about some of the lower level politics on the american side, then of course this is a very popular pope. this is a president who is struggling a little in his terms of popularity rating just ahead of important midterm elections. and this is a photo opportunity that will do no harm at all particularly with those many hispanic voters. most of course catholic, which mr. obama looks to come election day. >> alan, thanks very much for that bit of analysis.

we will of course stay with the pope's president meeting in rome when we do see more pictures of it. >> let's move on now. a satellite spotted up to 300 floating objects which may be debris from the malaysian airlines. the passenger plane disappeared three weeks ago. the new objects were detected 200 kilometers south of the area in which french satellite images indicated 100 objects could be floating in the sea. bad weather and near zero visibility forced all the planes to pull out of the search zone deep in the southern option ocean. the areas show where they have been concentrating their efforts before heading back to perth. so far no debris at all has been recovered. and there has been no sign of the black box flight recorder which might unravel mystery of what happened to flight mh-370. jonathan they had is standing by

in perth. this of course where much of the search operation has been running from. another day of disappointment today. i wonder if the news about the further images has been spotted by the thai satellite may help. >> well, they may. we have had a lot of satellite images now reporting objects, possible objects all in very different locations, surprisingly large numbers of them. they are likely to cinque. but they are the only leads they have. apart from the huge distance from the aircraft going to this base had to cover. so they don't have more than three hours over their quite limited seven zones. it is sunny here. but offshore it has become rough. visibility was very low. one australian orion came back a

half hour ago. the pilot said it deteriorated to where they couldn't see anything at all. it was cloud down to the sea. the fact is, you know, despite the satellite images we have had up to now, no aircraft spotted anything that could be confirmed anything like aircraft debris. that's what's going to happen. it is extremely difficult. it doesn't matter how many satellite pictures they see. these pictures are always old. it is proving exceptionally difficult for the planes to stpspot any of this. >> jonathan head in perth, thank you very much. we are going to try to unravel these pictures from thailand a little bit. now we can speak to the exact director of geo information and space technology development agency in thailand. this is the satellite company that did spot these objects. thank you very much for your

time. when did these images come into you? >> we took this image on 24th of march at 2303. it was taken as a part of the cooperation we have with malaysian government and also the disaster relief. the location that we took, that we spot these objects were 200 kilometers southwest of the area spotted earlier. >> can i understand, these pictures, is it unusual to see this many objects in this area when your satellite has passed over it before?

>> that's right. because this area is very much in the open ocean. and there is no other natural reasons why they have a lot of objects. we have confirmed that these are real objects but a lot of silhouett silhouettes, a lot of clouds. we cannot identify what they are because the revolution of the satellite we have is not high enough. but it could detect that they are at least in one scene of 420 square kilometers. there are at least 200 or 300 objects floating in that area. >> and thank you very much from the thai space technology space development agency. and you stress that you can't

identify these are indeed from the missing malaysian airliner, that it is a lead. the family of a japanese man who spent 46 years on death row are celebrating after he was granted a retrial. our asia editor michael bristoe takes up the story. >> it's been a 50-year wait. he has been ordered a retrial and ordered his release. his sister has stood by him almost understandably overjoyed. she thanked everyone who supported the campaign to release her little brother. iwa was convicted of murdering his boss, the man's wife and their two children. he's now 78. he confessed but said the police had beaten that out of him. dna evident now suggests he was

not the killer. the judge said investigators probably fabricated evidence. for these supporters, his innocence has never been in doubt. michael bristow, bbc words. ground staff, baggage handlers and maintenance staff hold a strike. frankfurt's, europe's third largest, are affected by the strike. lutansa canceled 600 flights, a third of its services. the strike is due to finish up in three hours's time. aaron is here with all the business news, i'm very pleased to say. big news for ukraine. what more can you tell us? >> much needed money coming its way. good to see you. hi there. the imf says it has agreed an interim bailout degree with ukraine, known as a stand-by agreement, the loan worth $14 billion to $18 billion, all of

this to stop the country defaulting on its debts. further loans could take the bailout to $27 billion, over the next two years, all subject to economic reform program. tip kayal any loans, they don't come free. they don't come cheap indeed. the two sides concluded about this. ukraine announced -- as i had, doesn't come cheap, it's going to increase gas prices for domestic customers by 50%. that's a bit of an ouch. but what it is doing is bowing to pressure to remove the subsidies. also, looking at the rise of etihad airways. could be poised to take control of european budget carrier, which it already has a major stake and was due to announce results today, in fact, this morning. it postponed the announcement pending talks on strengthening

its finances. that's what it needs to do. it would be the latest aggressive move by the gulf carrier into the european market. tell you what, it is a trend that has european rivals increasingly worried indeed. >> let's going on. all of that coming up on the "world business report" in 17 minutes. i'm back. tweet me. i'll tweet you back. you can find me very simp simple @bbcaaron. >> thanks, aaron. i'll tweet you. >> thank you. bye. well, it's been five days since that massive mudslide that engulfed oso, washington. 24 people have been confirmed dead. but the fear is that figure could rise substantially. our correspondent david willis has the latest from oso. >> reporter: plucked to safety from a sea of mud. a 4-year-old boy, who somehow

managed to survive a massive mudslide. jacob spillers was on the second floor when his home was hit by a deadly tide of mud and rock. his father and three siblings were downstairs are still missing. when she came across him, he was shaking. >> i stripped him down, put him in a blanket. i said i'm grandma. i'm going to take care of you. we're going to find your mommy. >> searching the mile square continues at pace. 90 bodies could be buried beneath the wreckage. >> we need to take a step pack, guys, and look at the magnitude of what happened. the debris field is huge, complex and dangerous. i don't think we have a lot of

answers. all i can definitively say is we have a number as 90 and we're going to pursue it as much as we can. >> pockets of mud are 40 feet deep. factor in toxic chemicals from crushed cars and it amounts to a difficult and dangerous recovery operation. >> the rescuer's biggest problem now, the weather. it's been raining constantly these past few days. it's not only hampered the recovery operation, it's also raised the possibility of further mudslides here. david willis, bbc news, washington state. i hope you can stay with us here on "bbc world news". still to come, as investigators examine satellite images appearing to show debris of the missing airliner, we look at the compensation paid to the family of passengers. check it out.

i can't believe your mom has a mom cave! today i have new campbell's chunky spicy chicken quesadilla soup. she gives me chunky before every game. i'm very souperstitious. haha, that's a good one! haha! [ male announcer ] campbell's chunky soup. it fills you up right.

this is "bbc world news". these are the latest headlines. pope francis welcomes president obama to the vatican as the two leaders meet for the first time with world poverty on the agenda. satellite images appearing to show debris from the missing malaysian airliner. coming up in "sport today" with me in half an hour, a dramatic night in spanish football. atletico stayed a top. liverpool beat sunderland to keep a top chelsea. and djokovic brings down andy murray. more on that in half an hour. let's get more on the missing airliner.

chinese authorities have started to pay the families. the families of seven passengers received almost $700,000 all up. the money comes from china life, the country's largest insurance company. well, let's talk a little bit more about this with our news reporter here. it does seem a little early to be talking about compensation. but it's happened. what more do we know? >> for a start, laws are involved in this. we did have the announcement very recently from the malaysian deposit that the aircraft almost certainly came down in the southern indian ocean. and it seems that has triggered these payments. khaoeu knee life paid out $670,000 to the families of seven passengers. the overall payment will be $1.3 million. others, including china pacific

and sunshine insurance have also made payments. >> these are life insurance payment? >> it would have been part of their ticketing arrangements. passengers on any aircraft flying anywhere in the world are covered by the montreal convention, an international agreement about how much passengers should be compensated in the event of an accident or their relatives. malaysian airlines has a strict liability of $75,000. that's what they obviously have to pay out. obviously they can appeal for higher payouts. that will have to be met by malaysian airlines insurer. >> we have just seen a little bit of news here about some sort of lawsuit out of the u.s. tell us more about that. >> this is likely to be the first of moment. it specializes in aviation

accidents. it is planning to file a lawsuit in american court against malaysian airlines and boeing. it seals to be a little bit speculative at this stage because we don't know what happened to the aircraft. american law firms do like to get in early. and the firm says it expects to represent half of the passengers on board. >> they are saying here one of the theories there was a failure of equipment in the cockpit that may have caused a fire that rendered the crew unconscious. it feels a little early to be talking about all the speculation. we haven't found anything yet in there is no roof about what happened to the aircraft. the proof will not be found until the flight data recorder is found. that's lying under the ocean, probably about four kilometers down.

we are a lot closer to finding it today than we were a couple of days ago. potential debris. until a piece of debris is found and identified as part of the aircraft, it's impossible to narrow it down snuff to submarines, ping locators the high-tech technology can be found. one of osama bin laden's sons-in-law has been found guilty in new york of conspireing to kill u.s. citizens. he is the highest ranking al qaeda figure to be brought to trial on u.s. soil. >>reporter: the attacks of september 11th forever changed america. almost 3,000 people were killed that day, and the country's war on terror began. this is the man who led the propaganda wore, summoned by osama bin laden to a cave in afghanistan and told to deliver

his message to the world. u.s. officials say he was part of what they call homicide al power hierarchy. in one video, the kuwaiti national promises no end to the storm of planes. he evaded capture for years. in 2002, he fled afghanistan for iran, where he remained more than a decade. then in february of 2013, he was arrested in a hotel in the turkish capital of ankara. on his way to kuwait, he was picked up by u.s. agents in amman, jordan, and flown to the united states. just blocks away from the site of the world trade center, he faced trial here in federal court. on wednesday, he was convicted by conspireing to kill americans and providing support to al qaeda after a trial lasted three

weeks. his lawyer says they will appeal the decision. >> it's not about words. it's not about association. there are clear requirements under the law. if you want to turn around and indict people for words, there's about 270 congressmen and women right now that have said pretty in sinned ear things about a lot of things. maybe we should start there. >> it's likely he will be sentenced to life in prison. >> the obama administration will likely see this as a legal visibilitiry. it strengthens the president's argument that it is possible to try high-profile terror suspects in u.s. court and it is an alternative to guantanamo bay. the south african paralympic champion oscar pistorius attorney will open the case for the defendant on friday. we look at what we know so far. >> reporter: here in pretoria,

where the killing that has dripped south africa took place in a luxury housing estate behind me. the prosecution has finished putting its evidence before the court. they tried to picture him as gun crazy, wildly jealous of his girlfriend reeva steenkamp. neighbors were among the first witnesses to testify, telling what they heard in the early morning hours. >> one being told being woken by a woman's blood curdling screams. another heard loud voices in the hour leading up to the death of reeva steenkamp. she thought a couple were fighting. but the prosecutiy also made ane in court. a ballistics expert said reeva

steenkamp said she was standing up facing the door. boxer kevin lorena said he was injured after oscar pistorius accidentally set off a gun in a crowded restaurant. he said mr. pistorius asked the friend to take the blame. the prosecution is trigger happy and reckless with guns. a firearms specialist later testified pistorius fully understood he was only allowed to shoot if his life was in danger and knew the importance of identifying the target. messages between the couple have also been read out in court. one from reeva steenkamp to pistorius said i'm scared of you sometimes. >> the prosecution says oscar pistorius murdered reeva steenkamp in a fit of jealous rage. he said he shot her thinking she was an intruder in his bathroom. if convicted, he could face a

life sentence. just before we go, let's remind you of our top story. pope francis has welcomed president obama to the vatican as the two leaders met for the very first time. that meeting will continue as we are seeing pictures of it now. 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. grareal ginger. real taste.e. real ahhh ♪ ♪

imf will loan ukraine $14 billion to $18 billion. and wine sales in london report record prices. some bottles going for tens of thousands of dollars. why? we'll find out. but it could have something to

do with the chinese. hello, everybody. i'm aaron. welcome to the program. a fascinating and exciting snapshot of the latest in the world of business and money. we'll talk about wine very shortly. but first let us start with imf. it has agreed an interim bailout with ukraine known as a stand-by agreement. the loan value worth $14 billion to $18 billion. of course the money needed to stop the country defaulting on its big debts. further loans could take the total sum to $27 billion over the next two years. all of this subject to an economic reform program. talks between the two sides concluded late on wednesday as ukraine announced it would increase gas prices for its domestic consumers, customers by

50%. now, by doing that, basically ukraine bowing to imf pressure to remove those subsidiesubsidi. great to have you in the studio with us. wow. a 50% price hike for consumers in gas. i can only imagine that's foggy to hurt. is it the whole point when you see the imf loans given out, they don't come free, they don't come cheap. >> they don't. they typically are across the board, not just energy but job losses, wage caps, as well as changes to the rules regarding the financial sector and a host of other different rules and conditions. >> so basically when the imf do this, we will give you the money but you have to get your house

in order basically. the next two years, possible photo lines $27 billion, does that suggest this initial loan is just not enough? >> the $27 billion is including the imf loan of $14 billion to $18 billion is from other countries. imf is the gatekeeper. they are not giving their money. it's whether in loan will work and whether the imf will be coming back again and again as we have seen in the past. >> you beat me to the punch. this is not the first time the imf and ukraine have had a relationship. >> they have had a strange dance. two years ago they froze the last stand-by agreement the specific reason was they weren't adhering to the conditions attached. they were precisely about gas subsidies. the president was a different individual. >> a different person indeed. i want to get this.

you mentioned the question is if the loan would work. do you believe a loan would work for ukraine? >> the record of the imf in particular when it's a politically motivated. you look at greece just a few years ago, they had two loans. they had to rip up the agreement. you can go back to argentina or the political crisis. it risks given money, which it shouldn't or on terms it's not sensitive to whether they are applied. the ukrainians will be paying for that as the new loans come down in years to come. >> we appreciate your time. thank you for joining us from brenton woods project. let's look at the airline injury, certainly one of our top stories on "bbc world news", which is the continued seven for the malaysian airlines flight 370. on wednesday, u.s. lawyers filed

preliminary papers for lawsuits against both malaysian airlines and the plane manufacturer boeing. it will be seeking millions of dollars of compensation for on the families of each passenger. they will focus on possible design or manufacturing defects that may have caused the plane to crash. they explained some of the legal complexities surrounding this tragedy. >> the families are entitled to full damage without need to go prove fault or any other clime like that. unfortunately, full compensatory damage it's not pain and suffering or consequential damages. if people want to extend the compensation they receive then they need to move into what

caused the accident and to start to fine a plank they can sue other than the airline. the montreal convention also strictly limits where you can sue, under which court systems you can sue. if you are looking to maximize, you have to find a basis to sue in a court that will allow pain and suffering, punitive damages. the obvious court system for that is the united states, which brings boeing into the picture. to do that you also need to prove fault. at the moment we simply do not know what happened to this airline. >> we indeed. we will keep across that story on "bbc world news". a subject close to my heart. red wine. it has long of course been the dough main of the french and the italians. now the chinese have come along to take the title as the world's biggest drinkers of that fine red stuff. the sale of vintage wines in london reported record sales

with some bottles going for tens of thousands. they fought to get their hands on some of the best wine the world has to offer. how is the marketing changing? well, let's find out more. steven, great to have you with us. once there is a demand for, there is a push for it and the price goes up. >> as a consequence we have had auctions since 2009 in april and had some fantastic results. in fact, we had 16 white sales 100% sold. that's a record. >> do they like the taste or is

wine a good investment? it wouldn't stay in hi house long enough. it has to be opened at some point. >> personally, i think it is a good investment over time. like everything, things go up and down. there's been a slight correction since 2011 in the market where i think the chinese have become more educated and sensible as to what they are buying. they used to buy laffit. now they have gone over to burgundy. yesterday at sothebys, 44 bottles went for 600 bottles which is quite a lot for a bottle. last year we sold $7.2 billion of wines, which is a small amount of wine they produce but very high value. these are the things which are really, you know, i would say good investments. you have to always good for the tops. >> it's fascinating stuff.

short and sweet. unfortunately we have to wrap it up. we appreciate it. to the chinese people watching, do not get an appetite for champagne. i'm going to have to come and hurt you if you do. we don't want those prices going up. @bbcaaron. sport is coming up right now. bye-bye. good job! still running in the morning? yeah. getting your vegetables every day? when i can.

hi there. this is "sport today". a dramatic night in spanish football. atletico stayed top. big problems for barcelona and real madrid. title challengers.

liverpool beat sunderland. and djokovic beats andy murray to send the brit down the world rankings. hello and welcome to the program. across europe, the football leagues are coming into their final phases. the bundesliga has been won by bayern munich. different story in spain and england. rare back-to-back defeats means they have dropped to third, three points off atletico who beat tkpwgranada, 1-0. two goals from neymar.

one from messi. here's how the table looks after those games. eight matches to play, including a potential title decider as barca host atletico the final day of the season. so barcelona keeper valdez will miss the season at what is a crucial time for the catalans. they told us how big a blow it could be in their race for the title. >> well, i think neymar must be devastated. victor valdez is one of the most important players in the sport. he's not only an exceptional goalkeeper, they need a goalkeeper good on one on ones.

he has been precisely good at that moment. apart from him being a good goalkeeper, he is good with the feet. he is probably one of the best in europe. barcelona plays from the beginning. while this is the first to start the play, it's a very important loss. >> liverpool have gone second in the english premier league. they beat sunderland 2-1 to lift them above manchester city. city do have two games in hand. a wonderful free kick from outside the penalty area. and daniel sturridge added another at the start of the second half. sunderland grabbed a goal in the last 15 minutes through young. a nervous last few moments for the anfield faithful. they held on for their seventh successive victory, a point behind the leaders chelsea. >> it was always going to be a difficult game for us. sunderland played 3-5-2. there wasn't a lot of space.

as you say, we had to show our patience in the game. a great three points for us and another excellent win. >> in italy, serie a leaders juventus eased to a record 15th straight win. tevez with both goals for juve. napoli moved six points behind second place roma at catania. bayern have the title, but there are still european place to be played for. bayer leverkusen beat out 3-1. it's been a tough few weeks for leverkusen. he has seen his side drop from second in the table. they equalized before they found a gap. the keeper should have covered. the first win in 10 games.

the fourth in the table. defending champion andy murray is out of the miami open after losing straight sets to novak djokovic. they will fall to eighth, his lowest since july 2008. the serbian recovered from an early break in the second set to notch a victory in 1:29. it was the first meeting between the two since murray defeated djokovic in the wimbledon final. it finished 7-5, 6-3. >> i'm not angry. i think my game is just about there. it's not far off. i had many opportunities. i didn't serve so well when i went ahead in the second set. i would have liked to have done that better. but, i mean, i was hitting the

ball better from the back of the court. i was playing aggressive. i was talking the ball out. i was trying to come forward a bit. yeah. my game is not far from where i want it to be. >> well, roger federer also went out. he was beaten in three sets 3-6, 7-5, 6-4 in favor of the 20th swede. he will play djokovic next. a must-win match in group # # one of the super 10 stage. nettinger handed were bowled out. they are currently 128-7 after 17 overs. as tpaor england who won in 2012, a woeful slump in form. they lost to new zealand.

>> it is a must-win game for us. i don't think we knew about any of the mathematical side of it. we have to win. and winning against sri lanka would be a big thing for us. it would be a big confidence boost. yeah. that's the way we're looking at it. >> they are tough customers, especially if you haven't played against them. i don't think the netherlands played much against sri lanka. but we have seen a lot of cricketers. we played quite a bit. mendez. most of them actually. we will be a little bit more prepared. >> in the nba, the indiana pacers beat defending champions miami heat, 83-82 wednesday night, a rematch of last season's eastern conference finals. indiana showed why they are to be the heat's toughest obstacle as they preach the fourth straight finals.

lebron james pulled the heat within three late in the third quarter. they were trailing again at the end, though. chris bosh's 25 three points with two seconds to go wasn't enough for the heat as the pacers took it by a single point. that's all the sports news for now. thanks for joining us on "sport today". check it out.

cinemas in three weeks's time. reportedly she is portraying a villain. >> can you tell me what lies in store from your point of view? or are you under oath not to reveal anything? >> i cannot reveal anything. no, i had a great time on it. mark is excellent. >> when you say you can't reveal anything, did they make you sign papers? >> yes. yeah. well, it's in the anticipation. it's something to look forward to. >> until now, felicity jones made her name in smaller personal pictures like "crazy" in 2011, a story about a british student denied re-entry into the united states. and lately, "breathe in" come in

which she plays an exchange student, destabilizing the family that is hosting her. she liked playing the character. a woman who isn't exactly full of good intentions. >> it's nice to play. maybe morally isn't always acting in the best way. she -- there is a real darkness is the word. there's something she doesn't -- she sort of doesn't care. >> any boundaries are there for a good reason. structure. >> you sound like a teacher. >> do you see it as a morality tale in a way, that if you transgress there will be consequences? >> to be honest, not at all. i don't have any moral sort of

opinions about what happens in the film, to be honest. i'm more just interested in exploring the idea of ignoring consequences and throwing yourself into something, feeling something. >> jones has made a strong impression on film critics and her colleagues in the industry. her performance in "live crazy" brought her recognition at sundance. >> i love going to work every day with her. no matter what, we are going to wind up with usable material because we will keep work to go make the scene work. together there's an honesty and truly to when something is not working. >> one day you will be free. >> is it important for you to have a personal relationship with the director that you're working with? >> yeah, absolutely. i find i can only work through collaboration.

and when you do your best work it is always when it's in conversation with the director and the other actors. yeah, absolutely. >> perhaps two human creatures may know each other. >> she was most recently in the invisible woman. if the field weren't so crowded she may have received an award. hopefully the ability to see that vision prevail. europe has big buildings like ours. only famous. and older.
