this is bbc america. now live from london, "bbc world news." >> hello, our top stories. a fresh attack at karachi airport seems to have ended after an assault by pakistan's taliban left at least 30 dead. five u.s. soldiers die in a friendly fire incident in the south of afghanistan. the trial begins of 15 crew members from the south korean ferry which capsized in april, killing nearly 300 people. and zulu at 50.

we'll report from south africa at the site of the famous battle that inspired the film. hello and a very warm welcome. the pakistani army says the chase is on after another attack at karachi airport. it comes a day of security forces it regained control of the airport from militants to gunmen on motor bikes firing shots at security forces just outside the perimeter. the taliban says it was responsible, and the hunt is now underway for the gunmen. and it after militants attacked the airport on monday, the pakistani military carried out air strikes in retaliation, killing 15 militants.

it happened just near the border with afghanistan. that's just after a brazen assault by taliban militants at the international airport. seven more bodies have now been recovered from a building at the airport. in total, more than 30 people died there, including ten militants. the pakistani taliban says it carried out the raid as revenge for the killing of the group's leader last year. we will, of course, continue to monitor all those events more you. now let's bring you to some of the day's other news. reports from afghanistan suggest that an incident in which five u.s. soldiers died was a case of friendly fire. it's thought the soldiers were killed by a bomb dropped from a coalition plane in the southern province. well, our correspondent joins us from the afghan capital kabul. david, just bring us up to date with the latest on this friendly fire incident.

>> reporter: just over an hour ago, the u.s. put out a full statement. their statement now calls it fratricide. our thoughts go out to the families of those involved in it. of course, fratricide is a term used by the u.s. army to mean the times when they kill their own side. we understand from afghan sources on the ground -- and i should stress we haven't had this from international sources. but from afghan, civilian and military, sources in the south have been talking to us in more detail this morning. they say there was a joint afghan operation yesterday trying to clear the valley, presumably because of the election on saturday. the second round in the afghan election. afghan and international forces are trying to secure as much ground as possible ahead of that election, so intensification of security operations towards the

end of the operation, the taliban counterattacked. an air strike called in to deal with that counterattack. in that air strike, five u.s. soldiers, an afghan interpreter, and afghan soldier were killed. >> david, in a separate development, there are concerns over the whereabouts of 35 teachers. what more can you tell us? >> reporter: a busy day for security in afghanistan. on the main arterial road running from the north to the south, there were a group of university teachers, we understand, on a bus traveling from kandahar in the south to kabul. they were not very far from this region where the air strike was yesterday on their way. in the center of the country where there's been a lot of taliban activity in recent years, some gunmen apparently boarded the bus and kidnapped more than 35 of those university

teachers. that is really all we know about it. we've heard that from initially social media sites talking about it. local journalists and local police officials saying they're trying to find where these 35 or so people are. >> okay. david, thanks for keeping us up to date. thank you very much. now, i want to go back to those situations in karachi. that second attack on karachi airport in two days. the chase is on now according to the pakistani authorities for the militants who performed that attack. let's cross over live now to karachi. mohammed, just bring us up to date with the situation right now, this fluid situation at the airport. >> well, the head of the airport security has just spoken to journalists, and he insists that it was not an attack. he says it was a shooting incident next to the airport, and we should not describe it as

an attack. from what we know what happened was there was a shooting incident. airport personnel was fired upon. the attackers were fired at and fled. they were chased by airport security officers. we know there haven't been any casualties, and we know nobody's been arrested as yet. there's a search operation going on in a village next to the airport. the operations at karachi airport were suspended for a couple of hours after the shooting incident, but now we're told that the operations are being resumed. >> mohammed, it's interesting that authorities say this wasn't an attack, but can we assume it was the same people, that it was the pakistani taliban? >> well, it does seem quite obvious. meanwhile, taliban have also claimed responsibility for today's shooting, and they

insist that it is a continuation of the attack that they launched the night before last. so i think basically the message that the security forces are being sent, that we are around and near and we can come back and attack you any time we want. >> okay. mohammed, for the time being, thank you very much. the bbc's mohammed hanif in karachi. now developing news for you from iraq, where the northern province have falln to militants. the country's parliament speaker held a press conference a short while ago. insurgents linked to taliban seized control of the entire area.

there has been fierce fighting in the city for days. iraqi security forces are reported to have abandoned their posts while thousands of residents have fled the city. now, the trial of 15 crew members on board the stricken "sewol" ferry have begun in south korea. more than 300 people died in the disaster. many of them were teenagers from one high school north of seoul. a short while ago, i asked our correspondent in seoul to explain the charges the crew face. >> reporter: well, a captain and three of his crew members are charged with what's called homicide through willful negligence. that falls somewhere between manslaughter and murder. it means there was some kind of intent that caused death, even if the intent wasn't the direct intent to murder. so they're facing the most serious charges. it does carry the death penalty, although south korea hasn't actually executed anybody for

almost 20 years. but there's certainly a lot of interest in how that trial goes, what kind of evidence is presented, and whether captain lee and his crew are ultimately convicted. because, of course, there are many people here who believe they've already been tried and convicted in the course of public opinion. >> and the focus is very much going to be on how the captain left that ship. >> reporter: that's right. and i think one of the problems this trial has had is that many people here in south korea already feel that they know what happened. it was a disaster that was widely televised. there was enormous interest. the whole country really gripped by the blow-by-blow account of that disaster and what happened. we have pictures of the captain being rescued and pictures of the crew ending up safely and pictures of course of that ferry going down. so people have a very emotional relationship to this case. i think one of the problems has been many people here are saying that this trial is taking place in such a futile atmosphere.

>> that was lucy williamson following that trial in seoul. now let's get the business news. alice is here for us. it's one for the gamers, isn't it? >> absolutely right. it's the cannes festival, if you like, in the gaming industry. talk abouting the world's largest video gaming expo. the e-3 is currently under way in sunny los angeles. sony emerged as the undisputed victor last year beating microsoft x-box one on both price and positive buzz. this year, it seems there's yet to be a clear winner. over the last few hours, the two companies outlined their plans for the year ahead. opinion on who came out on top seems to be split down the middle. for sony, the focus is on the return of two of its biggest exclusive franchises, "uncharted" and "little big planet." it also announced it would launch a budget console for just

$99 this year. microsoft seems likely to deliver on its promises a little sooner, which could give it the edge. now, after seven hours of talks, no agreement has been reached between russia and ukraine over the price of gas purchased by kiev. talks will continue tonight into wednesday morning in brussels. the european commissioner for energy says all issues were discussed and solutions have been proposed. now, they've persuaded millions of dploglobe-trotting travelers to ditch hotels and stay in homes. now they're looking to see if they'll ditch restaurants as well. the idea was to help travelers avoid those tourist trap restaurants. they're not the first to try it. services have been popping up all around the world. so will home dining become as big a sell as home sharing?

we'll have more for you on that in "world business report" coming your way throughout the morning. see you a little bit from now. >> thank you very much. we'll see alice a little later on. closer than that, stay with us here on "bbc world news." coming up, it is reform of the eu. it tops the agenda at a mini summit just outside stockholm. i'll be speaking live to our correspondent who's following events there. this is a view... ...you have to leave the couch to believe. seize the summer with up to 40% off hotels from travelocity.

raise awareness of sexual violence in war. she's hosting a four-day conference alongside the british foreign secretary william hague. let's take a minute to listen to stephanie's story. she was sexually abused after fleeing genocide in rwanda. >> the war started in 1990 and started in my hometown, my home village. my parents were the first displaced people. with the forces of genocide and massacres around, i was forced to leave my town. we had to survive in camps. provisions as a woman, you need lotions, you need soap. we had to make arrangements with one of the men in the village who used to drive a truck. when we reached town, the guy started acting like the truck was broken. we can't move. i trusted him. though i did not know him, not

even his name, only the face. he told me, if you want to live longer, come here. then i quickly recalled what had happened in the genocide. then i said, am i going to die here? what followed, it has never been easy for me to describe. i can't count how many times in one night, the whole night. whatever happened, happened to me, and it's going to remain for me only. i was suffering, but i acted like nothing, nothing. when you talk about consequences, the effect of rape is with me on a daily basis. i think i will be with it forever. i'm hoping to speak to the right people. i'm hoping my voice will touch their hearts. whatever they're planning, they

should include sexual violence, something that kills, not physically, but emotionally. >> stephanie with that powerful description of her experience. now, leaders from sweden, germany, britain, and the netherlands have concluded a meeting outside stockholm. they agreed on european union reforms necessary to promote growth and jobs and new trade deals. but a sticking point remains about who will be the next president of the european commission. german chancellor angela merkel reaffirmed her support for jean-claude juncker, but they'd like to explore other options. >> we've been meeting to talk about the future work program for the eu. i think there's been a strong level of agreement about what needs to happen. obviously now we need to move to the stage of looking at the right people. i look forward to those discussions as much as i've enjoyed these discussions.

>> britain's david cameron. well, the dutch prime minister says the decision must ultimately be made by the parliament. >> against that backdrop, we have to discuss who would best fit the senior opposition, the presidency of the council, and the parliament has to decide on the presidency of the parliament. so here are three important issues we have to take against the discussions we'll have. >> by the end of the year, we'll know whether hillary clinton will run for president in 2016. at least that's what she said in an interview previewing her new book "hard choices." in it, she shows what she thinks america's domestic priorities should be and examines some of the international crises she dealt with as secretary of state. >> reporter: she may have disappeared from the international stage, but in the

u.s., hillary clinton is in the spotlight, giving speeches across the country and maybe looking presidential. >> the next president of the united states, hillary clinton! >> reporter: and in chicago, they are ready for hillary. the election it more than two years away, but they're already fundraising. >> she going to be the first woman president for the united states. i'm looking forward to it. >> i think the country is still looking for strong, vibrant leadership. i think we in the democratic party have that. >> reporter: this is a presidential campaign without a presidential candidate yet. and with no other serious democratic candidates for now, it could become a problem for mrs. clinton. what will the democratic party do if she doesn't run? >> oh, i don't even know. i don't know that there's an alternative scenario that i've

even thought about. we want her to know she's our first choice. we hope she says yes. we're ready to go. >> reporter: she is in no rush to make any announcements. >> when are you going to decide whether you're running for president? >> you know, i'm going to decide when it feels right for me to decide. >> reporter: mrs. clinton's friends say the grueling schedule of a campaign and the ugliness of political attacks will weigh on her as she decides. >> she hasn't even announced she's running and we've already seen the attacks start on the other side. they're clearly going to be nasty. they're clearly going to get worse, and she has an extremely thick skin, but how much of that do you want to subject yourself to? >> reporter: mrs. clinton's never been this popular, but the hillary haters, as they're known here, are still out there, even more determined and virulent than in 2008. and the republican party is already almost all focused on tearing her record apart.

>> we need to do everything we can to make people understand that there is another side. this book isn't just about hard choices. it's about bad choices. we want to make sure there's another side to that story. >> reporter: taking her time before she declares, mrs. clinton mostly ignores the attacks for now and revels in the attention. this is a way for hillary clinton to reconnect with voters, show them how she's evolved since 2008 and get a feel for what it would be like to be back on the campaign trail. the question now is, can she pace herself and maintain the momentum? bbc news, denver. >> will she or won't she? now, the film "zulu" was released 50 years ago. prince harry will attend a special screening in london. it tells the story of the 150

british soldiers, many sick and wounded, who took on 4,000 zulu warriors and won. so what do the south africans make of it? >> reporter: the winter sunrises. how many would remember this isolated battlefield today if it weren't for one film? "zulu," the story of a desperate encounter between thousands of africa's most feared fighters and a handful of british red coats, one played by a young michael cain. >> like a train. >> sound was made by the advancing 4,500 advancing zulus. >> reporter: a tour guide explains the truth behind the

movie. >> that drumming was the sound that michael cain heard. and it was this wall where these zulus advanced and threw themselves with reckless abandon and bravery at the guns and bayonets of these british soldiers. >> reporter: "zulu" was shot 50 years ago in apartheid south africa. the film was a rare integration of racism, black and white mingling freely. >> for this country, we were so racist at the time. it was something of great significance. >> reporter: today, 85-year-old prince watches his younger self on screen. he played his great grandfather, the zulu king. that must make you proud. >> it makes me really proud. >> reporter: "zulu" still pulls the tourists here, paying their respects to all those who died here. the film celebrated heroism on

both sides, but it had a stronger message of the futility of war. >> i feel ashamed. >> maybe it's this raising of awareness and sympathy for these broken men who returned home only to be discarded. and maybe it's sympathy for the men returning home from war today, who are still fighting bravely for each other in foreign lands. >> reporter: a rousing musical. after fighting all night, the zulus withdrew. the zulus disappeared over this ridge, and the battle itself could have easily vanished into the history books. the fact it didn't, that it still resonates with so many

people, is due in no small part to one memorable film. andrew harding, bbc news. now, let me show you exactly what you do not want to see while sitting on the beach. have a little look at this. dozens of sharks. now, some beaches in the u.s. state of alabama have been closed to swimmers as a large school of sharks have been spotted in the area. now, the sharks are thought to have been attracted by the large number of fish car kass thrown into the water during the red snapper fishing season. now, luckily so far no attacks have been reported. looks scary. now, before i leave you, let's bring you an update on our breaking news this hour from pakistan. violence has flared up once again at karachi airport, the day after a large taliban attack there. within the past hour, there's been more gunfire, which seems to have eased off slightly. flights have resumed after being suspended from karachi airport.

the taliban have claimed on twitter that they're responsible for this second attack. and news also from afghanistan, u.s. military sources have confirmed that five u.s. soldiers were killed in so-called friendly fire incidents. the troops died on monday in the province of zabul. we'll continue to monitor all of those developing stories for you. thanks for watching. ♪ do you know what this means? the greater the curvature, the bigger the difference.

the rise in britain, but now a group of politicians are calling for a complete ban. hello, and a warm welcome to the program. the pakistani army says that the chase is on after another attack at karachi airport. a day after security forces regained control of the airport from militants, two gunmen on motor bikes fired shots at a training camp used by security forces just outside the perimeter. well, the taliban says that it was responsible and the hunt is now under way for the gunman. and it comes after militants attacked the airport on monday. the pakistani military carried out air strikes in retaliation, killing 15 militants.

the strikes targeted militant hideouts in the valley of khyber tribal region near the border with afghanistan. this is after a brazen assault by the taliban at the airport. seven more bodies have been recovered from a building at the airport. in total, more than 30 people died there, including ten militan militants. well, the pakistani taliban says it carried out the raid as revenge for the killing of the group's leader last year. there is lots to take in. we can cross over live now to karachi, the bbc's mohammed hanif joins us. lots and lots of development. lots of detail. this most recent attack at karachi airport, which the authorities are not describing as an attack, just tell us what happened. what's the latest? >> reporter: a couple of hours ago, the facility right next to the airport, which is used by the airport security forces for

training purposes, that came under attack. gunmen on a motor bike opened fire. security forces returned fire and they fled. as you can imagine, there was panic all around because this airport reopened less than 24 hours ago after a really long seize that lasted the whole night. so troops rushed to this facility. ambulances were seen scrambling to this place. but there are no casualties. the head of airport security forces, who i just spoke to awhile ago, he insists it's not an attack. it was described as more of a drive-by shooting. operations at the airport were suspended for a couple hours. incoming flights were diverted. but we've just been told the

operations have resumed again. >> okay. mohammed, now, i understand that the authorities there are trying to play this down by not describing it as an attack. can you confirm whether this was the pakistani taliban behind this? >> reporter: the taliban say they were behind it. one of their spokespersons tweeted minutes after the shooting that they had attacked the airport security forces again. i think what they're trying to do is they're sending a very, very clear message not just to the state of pakistan but its citizens and security forces as well that they're not very far from wherever the target might be. because what happened after the siege of karachi airport, tribal

areas were bombed where supposedly taliban hideouts are. this series of events has happened before as well. one of the targets in one of the main cities in pakistan, pakistan's army and security forces go after the taliban's hideouts in the tribal areas. but nothing has actually ever been done in the main cities. so the attackers might have come from tribal areas, but surely they didn't land here just before the attack. i'm sure somebody brought them here, they found cover here, had time to kind of get themselves uniformed, armed, whatever else you need to carry on an operation like that. and after clearing the airport, declaring it safe and open, all the security forces went home. it seemed like it was like, you know, sort of we were back to business as usual. and taliban just sent us a very,

very stark reminder that we are here and we are around, and if we want to attack you again, we can. >> yes, a very stark reminder indeed. for the moment, mohammed hanif live from karachi. we'll continue to monitor those events. now let's turn to afghanistan, where reports suggest that an incident in which five u.s. soldiers died on monday may have been a case of friendly fire. it is thought that soldiers were killed by a bomb dropped from a coalition plane in the southern province of zabul. well, david loyn, our correspondent in kabul, gave us the latest. >> reporter: just over an hour ago, the u.s. put out a fuller statement than they had three or so hours ago when they first confirmed five people were killed. their statement now calls it fratricide. tragically it may have been fratricide that was involved. our thoughts go out to the families involved in it.

of course, fratricide is a word used by the u.s. army to mean the times when they kill their own side. we understand from afghan sources on the ground -- and i should stress we haven't had this from international sources. but from afghan, civilian and military, sources in the south have been talking to us in more detail this morning. they say there was a joint u.s.-afghan operation yesterday trying to clear the valley, presumably because of the election on saturday. the second round in the afghan election. afghan and international forces are trying to secure as much ground as possible ahead of that election. so intensification of security operations towards the end of the operation. the taliban counter attacked. an air strike called in to deal with that counterattack. in that air strike, five u.s. soldiers, an afghan interpreter, and afghan soldier were killed. >> david, in a separate development, there are concerns over the whereabouts of 35

teachers. what more can you tell us? >> reporter: a busy day for security in afghanistan. on the main arterial road running from the north to the south, there were a group of university teachers, we understand, on a bus traveling from kandahar in the south to kabul. they were not very far from this region where the air strike was yesterday on their way. in the center of the country where there's been a lot of taliban activity in recent years, some gunmen apparently boarded the bus and kidnapped more than 35 of those university teachers. that is really all we know about it. we've heard that from initially social media sites talking about it. local journalists and local police officials saying they're trying to find where these 35 or so people are.

>>. now to iraq where the province of neneveh has fallen to insurgents. insurgents linked to al qaeda have seized control of the entire area. it follows earlier reports that hundreds of gunmen had launched an attack on the city of mosul, taking over the provincial government headquarters and setting free detainees from several police stations. there's been fierce fighting in the city for days. iraqi security forces are reported to have abandoned their posts while thousands of residents have fled the city. now, the trial of 15 crew members on board the stricken "sewol" ferry has begun in south korea. more than 300 people died in the disaster. many of them were teenagers from one high school north of seoul. >> reporter: for almost two months, they've been labeled guilty. today they begin their trial. captain lea was among those facing the most serious charges

of homicide through willful negligence. a conviction could mean the death penalty, though south korea hasn't executed anyone for almost 20 years. also arriving at the court, the families of some of those who died. one held a banner. you are not human, it read. there were scuffles as security guards removed it from the court. the routine proceedings that began this trial hide the massive interest in this case. many believe the south korean media have already tried and convicted captain lee. images like this of him being rescued with passengers still on board were replayed on television networks during the disaster as news emerged that hundreds of passengers had died. the president later labeled the actions of captain lee and his crew as tantamount to murder. and according to load media, many private law firms have now refused to defend them.

this disaster has shaken south koreans' relationship with their government and their come pat ree yachts. and in the search for blame, some key figures are still unaccounted for. the head of the ferry company has so far evaded a nationwide manhunt. warrants have been issued for him and his children. catching him might be proving difficult, but if the past two months are anything to go by, ensuring him a fair trial might be harder still. lucy williamson, bbc news, seoul. at least abducted in northern nigeria. the village elder has told the bbc that men dressed in army uniforms took the women at gunpoint near chibok. they were then driven away to an unknown location. this latest abduction throws up questions about security in the area. >> the women who were taken away

were from a nomadic community who move around that area. just considering the amount of attention that chibok in particular has received follow egg the abduction of these more than 200 girls, one would expect that there would be intensified, you know, security around the area. so the fact that this attack could happen again, which has been confirmed by local residents as well as officials, shows there's still a huge gap there regarding the military deployments there despite the state of emergency that's in place. lots more still to come here on "bbc world news." do stay with us. including, as the actress angelina jolie starts a conference ending sexual violence in conflict, we'll hear from a representative on the issue. discover brookside,

you're watching "bbc world news." our main headlines now. there has been another attack near karachi airport in pakistan. authorities are describing it as a shooting incident. it comes a day after a taliban assault there killed over 30 people. five american soldiers and two afghans have been killed in a friendly fire incident in southern afghanistan. the oscar-winning actor ank lee ya jolie is in london to raise awareness of sexual violence in war. it's a summit currently taking place while as a yunited nation special envoy, she's hosting a four-day conference beside william hague. the event, the largest ever of its kind, is the result of an intense two-year campaign to raise awareness. angelina jolie has just been speaking at the conference about

what needs to be done to tackle the problem. >> we need to see real commitment to go after the worst perpetrators, to fund proper protection for vulnerable people, and to step in and help the worst affected countries. we need all armies, peace keeping troops, and police forces to have the prevention of sexual violence in conflict as part of their training. more than 100 countries will be represented at this summit. and we are asking them to take these measures. >> angelina jolie speaking a little earlier in london. well, the u.n. special representative on special violence in conflict told me just what can be done to tackle this problem. >> i think we have to end impunity. the only way you can end impunity is to make sure all the perpetrato perpetrators, you actually put them on trial. you have to give justice. that trial will send a message

that whoever commits sexual violence will be tried, both at the national level, at the community level, and at the international level. >> isn't the problem, though, these horrific crimes are taking place in places of conflict where war -- it's impossible to get proof, to even capture these perpetrators in many cases? >> and i think that's again what this conference is about. in the cases like what she's mentioned, a whole lot of them are around war. you have to collect the documents 72 hours after the crime has happened. and they are going to be in this conference. basically, the conference is bringing for the first time in the world all the players. lawyers, judge, ministers of defense, ministers of foreign affairs, u.n. agencies, and ngos and victims to let them know in this big challenge around the world what can each one of us do, and what do we need to be

able to act when. so we can come with firm commitments and concrete action that will turn the u.n. resolutions into solutions. because if we don't have everybody on the table and we all agree, when do we come in and what do we do, and to cooperate and work with each other, we'll never be able to fight sexual violence. >> when you see these people, when you see the perpetrators and you cannot actually physically bring them to a court of law, whether it's the country or an international court, then it just seems completely pointless to many women who are the victims of this, and men, of course. >> if you are able to collect the evidence -- for example, in central africa today, we have no court of law. at the end of the day, you have to have the evidence as to why you treat the women medically or provide social support to build their life.

but you have to start with evidence. you have to make sure in a court of law you can use the evidence. it will help us to ensure there's proper excuse any time. but at the end of the day, you have to provide support for the victims. we don't forget the victims. it's important they have the right to medical treatment and they are able to have counsel so they can stand up in front of the perpetrators and actually give evidence against them. >> and just very briefly, how do you change people's mentality so they just stop? it's such a powerful and effective tool. how do you stop that? how do you change people's perception? >> making sure you have the right laws in the country, ensuring political commitment at the highest level. if you don't have that political commitment, you will not break the culture of silence and the culture of denial. >> that was u.n. special

representative on sexual violence in conflict talking to me about that conference, which is taking place in london. now, leaders from sweden, germany, britain, and the netherlands have concluded a meeting outside stockholm. they've agreed on european union reforms necessary to promote growth and jobs, but a sticking point remains. who will be the next president of the european commission? the german chancellor and british prime minister have differing ideas about where the future of the union will lie. ben wright caught up with the swedish prime reinfeldt, and ask him how they could settling their remaining differences. >> i think the important message from these four lead who are have worked together closely before is, look, where is europe heading now? we have ideas how to create more jobs, how to become more competitive, how to pool better the resources given to research and development. if we can agree on that, we will also then of course name a name to lead the commission, but i

don't think that is what you should do first. that is what you should do after you have finalized what you want to do in content. >> the prayiorities of the next commission should come first. do you think david cameron and the british have been a bit clumsy here by making their hostility to him so clear? hasn't he just rallied support behind jean-claude juncker in berlin, for instance? >> i think we have arguments when it's regards to principle. we don't agree with the idea that the party groups should appoint front runners very much in advance of the election to european parliament because it disqualifies a lot of candidates that could actually run for these important positions. and here we are like minded. i've been in principle against that. therefore, i am now trying to respect the way the process should be done with the european council president consulting with the countries.

but what we have agreed today is what is the content of what this commission then should do. that's very important. that's very often forgotten. people are asking more to see the results rather than actually the name to lead. >> and parliament will vote, but you're quite clear it's the heads of state, the council that needs to decide on the name. and they should have their autonomy to do so. >> it's a balance between the two. we'll present a qualified candidate, and the european parliament will elect that person. so respect that balance that reflects the way -- it's a balance between the european institutions and the nation's states and leaders. >> if mr. juncker doesn't get the job, might you fancy it? >> well, i have an election mid-september. i'm trying to win my third election in a row. that's my message. >> just finally, david cameron clearly wants this renegotiation which will effectually be put to referendum if the conservative

party wins. will you help him get a renegotiation? what do you think it would involve? >> we're very likeminded in getting a less bureaucratic european union. i'm very clear to david cameron that it's of utmost importance that united kingdom stays inside european union to it can be a political and economic heavy weight in the world. we are very like minded in the view of free trade and effectiveness. but of course, it's for britain to show what kind of reforms they're asking from the european union. we don't know that yet. we'll of course do whatever we can to support the british people if it's called to a referendum. >> sweden's prime minister fredrik reinfeldt speaking to the bbc's ben wright. now, they look cute and are undeniably intelligent, but would you keep a monkey as pa pet? it's thought around 9,000 monkeys and other primates are

being kept as household pets right here in the u.k. there have been calls for urgent actions to monitor their welfare. >> reporter: for many people who keep monkeys, they're more than just pets. >> i love him more than people, to be honest. they will always love me. >> like they're your kids? >> oh, yes. something similar to kids. >> reporter: jenna has five squirrel monkeys. she's converted her house inside and out to make sure they're well looked after. monkeys are some of our nearest living relatives in the natural world. curious, intelligent, social creatures. even when they're kept in very good conditions like this, there are some who think that keeping monkeys as pets is cruel and should be banned. this is why. a monkey kept on his own in a small cage for years. when he was finally rescued, vets found he had rickets,

caused by a lack of sunlight, his bones fused and curved. joey is now recovering in a primate sanctuary in cornwall. today's report by the environment select committee says the rules on how monkeys are kept need to be tightened to protect their welfare. >> we believe we need to look now very carefully at the conditions in which these pets are kept. we also need to look very closely at any potential trade in these animals. and we need to be absolutely sure whether these are imported from third countries or whether this is an indigenous trade. >> reporter: two years ago, we filmed troy, bought for 800 pounds on the internet, kept on his own indoors. troy was sold soon after we filmed this, again on the internet. it's an unregulated trade. you don't need a license to buy, sell, or breed smaller species of primates, and they can sell for thousands of pounds each. to keep larger primates like these lemurs, you need a

dangerous wild animals license. but 90% of owners don't have one. tweaking the current regulati s regulations, they say, isn't enough. >> huge problems with noncompliance and lack of enforcement. people not knowing what they're doing in terms of primate welfare. we don't think that's going to be solved. >> reporter: jenna says many people buy a monkey don't know how to keep them and much of the trade she says is unscrupulous. >> people unfortunately treat them like money and breed them in sheds, in basements. those kind of people, they should be banned from keeping any animals. >> reporter: and she wants the government to set up a voluntary register. critics say it will never happen and it's simply wrong in principle to keep monkeys as pets. lots more as always on our website.
