hello. you're watching gmt on "bbc world news." i'm lucy hockings. jordan says that will negotiate with the islamic state. and an israel convoy targeted. and prepared to act with force. libya and an anti-militia

group and the struggle for power and spoils of war. >> we defend our people and our land. we're not terrorists and not in love with blood and killing. apple casswas surprised by their numbers. >> we're talking about the biggest company in history. they made the most than any company in history and they now stand on a cash of $18 billion and we will find out what in the world will it do with all that cash? welcome to gmt. both jordan and japan are working together to try to secure the release of two hostages held by the islamic state. in the last hour we have heard

from jordanian officials. they are saying they are now ready to swap a female islamic militant currently in a jordanian jail in exchange for a jordanian fighter pilot held hostage by i.s. in a report released tuesday they said the pilot and the japanese hostage goto had just hours to live. the story has shocked the japanese people. reporting now from tokyo. >> reporter: as the new deadline approached people gathered outside the prime minister's office in tokyo. and there was word they may have made a deal for the pilot but time is running out for the japanese hostage. the mother made a plea. >> dear prime minister.

please save my son's life. kenji only has a little time left. >> reporter: this all follows the release of mr. goto with new demands. the islamic state says they have until this afternoon to release this islamic suicide bomber from jail or two hostages will be killed. one is mr. goto. the other is this jordanian firefighter pilot shot down and caught by islamic state last year. an imam refused to give any indication whether the deal is close. it is an ongoing situation he said, so i cannot comment. we are doing everything we can to gain mr. goto's freedom. >> reporter: they are in an impossible position. if it does not release the convicted suicide bomber the islamic state will kill both hostages. if it does release her, the islamic state says it will hand over mr. goto but made no

statement about the jordanian firefighter pilot only not to kill him. to mr. jordanian, that is a very bad deal. >> reporter: for japan's prime minister abe, these are also very tense times. if mr. goto is killed mr. japanese may blame mr. abe and his policy of supporting the u.s. war against the islamic state. "bbc news" in tokyo. with developments in the past hour jordan saying it might get involved in some exchange. and to get reaction is rupert win winfield. what do we have the jordanians saying? >> it seems at the moment we try to understand what the reports are talking about the secret channel opened about negotiations concerned to be public now, jordanians in return

for the i.s. reporting yesterday to swap the pilot with the japanese journalists in return of the female jihadist. that gives us indication time is ticking down. we are in the last moments of the 24 hours time frame they gave in two hours time. however, we don't know all the reports. being send to a province in iraq and given back to the tribe there and the japanese hostage will arrive if there's a deal or not. we are waiting for any response from i.s. handing back the jordanian pilot. >> we are hearing that the japanese hostage will also be involved in the swap somehow? >> indeed. both of them. the jordanians came back saying both in one deal swapping with the lady. in any reaction so far in tokyo with this news just coming to

us? >> reporter: there hasn't been any official reaction yet, lucy. the concern in tokyo is that the jordanian government is clear that its pilot is it number one priority. jordan is not handing over this suicide bomber for mr. goto. the condition is that it must be the pilot and mr. goto in return for her release. that means that we have to see where the islamic state goes. there is real concern here time is very very short. that a deal is possible but clearly in the jordan's court and jordan has set the bar higher for release by saying the pilot must be included. >> what sort of facts does jordan have to weigh out, obviously huge pressure you're from jordan people desperate to release the pilot. also the u.s. would not have

been keen on this. >> the u.s. if they get involved, it could become a different story because of the attitudes against the u.s. whether it's even by the public opinion. however, in the past couple of days we're hearing peoplethe public on the yord day innian pilot pushing for a solution to that. on the other side some of my sources spoke to me jihadis used to be against i.s. putting themselves as middlemen to fix this deal. release ing releasing her was on the table but nothing confirmed. yesterday yesterday, we received confirmation so far. pressure on both. either isis that needs to justify handing back the pilot they consider an enemy or the jordanian government from the

inside asking for a quick solution. >> japanese officials had been working with the jordanians throughout this time. what do we imagine will be happening in the next few hours in the pressure they'll be put putting on too? >> one has to presume they have been putting an awful lot of pressure to accept the deal. as i say, it appears that the government in jordan has made it very clear what it wants to help to get mr. goto out. let's not forget the japan-- that japan is a very important ally to jordan the biggest in economic assistance. japan is not a country the jordanian government wants to upset and has its own priorities because of those internal factors you were talking about, to get its pilot out first and mr. goto is the second priority. >> tell us more about the

pressure rupert is referring to. jordan a moderate muslim country needs to stay friendly with japan with the resistance we're hearing. it's a difficult position. >> indeed it's a difficult position and jordan is a westernized country and japan is one of its biggest donors as my colleague mentioned but japan has one of the best intelligence services in the middle east. this is the second time they've been placed in a pressure. we remember when a jordanian ambassador in libya was taken hostage. they have to broker a deal with the libyan militiamen and handing them a jihadist a few months ago. this is the second time. it's not clear whether they will exchange the japanese hostage without merely mentioning their pilot. it was expected they would put on the table both to swap.

>> thank you both very much for updating. as soon as we have any more developments on this story and possible exchange we will bring that straight to you. but we have another story to update you on this hour. clashes have broken out between the israeli military and hezbollah force between israel and lebanon. the lebanon government says one of its tanks has been hit and we are getting reports now of casualty. we'll take you to jim muir and get you straight up to date. he's in beirut for us. we're hearing different things from both sides. is it clear what's happened? >> reporter: it's clear a lot of tension and violence going on down there, in a remote part of the border lebanon regards occupied by israel a small rural area right on the border

between lebanon and israel. hezbollah regards it as occupied territory and said earlier today it carried out a rocket attack on an israel position that had vehicles in it. it hit a number of vehicles killing or wounding a number of israel soldiers saying one vehicle was hit by a rocket and four israel soldiers wounded. they have been carrying out, israelis of retaliatory shelling across the border of lebanon and israel responding to that and the they're very close by since 1967, very close by hitting an israel army position. all this started 10 days ago when the israelis carried out an air strike killing half a dozen hezbollah fighters and general.

obviously, thehezbollah felt they had to do something and why the position was carried out this morning and the question is whether both sides will regard honor satisfied with a reprisal strike or whether they will go out on patrol. >> israel had been on high alert the past few days. will they be worried despite the past hezbollah has been able to strike this blow? >> i think they will be worried. is there extreme tension on the border on both sides. everybody remembering 2006 israel was engaged infor a month in an all out war with hezbollah causing massive damage and disrupting life on both sides of the border. the general feeling is neither side wants that to get back into that kind of open ended war. but when the tension is high and you have casualties on both

sides and both sides feel the need to respond, nobody can guarantee, even if they don't want an escalation it could happen and this could tip the cap this way as things spiral out of control. >> silverisraelis saying four soldiers wounded but hezbollah saying up to 15. we will keep you up to date. politicians dpefding their preparations what they thought would be an historic blizzard in the united states. critics say the city basswas shut down unnecessarily. >> having accepted an invitation to visit moscow in may, kim jong un. if he does go it would be his first foreign trip since taking

power three years ago. the parents of 43 missing students are reacting angrily to the fact they've been declared dead. they're not sure if the students were killed and bodies thrown in the san juan river. they disappeared. still to come we take you inside libya, where rival militias are fighting for control of the country. ♪

go! go! go! he's challenging the very fabric of society. in a post cannonball world! was it grilled cheese? guilty! the aquatic delinquency is a larger issue to this ♪ you did it again, didn't you? yup. ♪ this is a pip. it's part of a hershey's bar. we break it. we bite it. we sneak it. we smoosh it. we savor it. we love it. hershey's is mine, yours, our chocolate.

libya is a country controlled by 1700 rival militia groups. the recent attack we've seen has been on a hotel in tripoli, killing at least nine people including five foreigners. the country has been plagued by instability and violence since

gadhafi was ousted from power in 2011. a nationally recognized power has been forced to flee the capital to the city of tobruk. it's now controlled by militias that set up a power break. they are now confined to the east. and we will speak to our reporter in benghazi. first, ian has been to tripoli. this is his report. >> reporter: gadhafi vowed to hunt enemies alley by alley and house by house. four years later, he is dead and the streets have a feeling of normality of once again living under suspicion and fear. welcome to what remains of tripoli international airport.

rivalry between the so-called guardians of the revolution turned to hostility here. this wasn't just a fight for control but a deliberate attempt to raze it to the ground, part of a battle for key resources. by the time the fighting ended libya had two governments in parliament each backed by a loose alliance of militias. when the second battle for the future of libya erupted, it was the militias of the revolution who turned their guns on each other and the fighting continues to this day. as the destruction at the airport shows this was less about ideology than a struggle for power and the spoils of war. most of the battles are localized over land, transport and above all, oil. the instability has allowed islamists to prosper. these men support the rival

government in tripoli, led by a veteran of the afghan war whose group used to work alongside al qaeda. the internationally recognized government says they're terrorists. >> translator: we fight for sharia law. we need to build an islamic state. we defend our religion our people and our land. we're not terrorists, not in love with blood or killing. we're calling for a state of justice and law and islam and everyone equal in the eyes of the law. >> reporter: but many fear the self-appointed militias who enforce that law. opposition voices have been silenced, journalists threatened, politicians kidnapped. the brigade controls the midnight streets of tripoli, accused of using excessive force. they're trying to recast themselves as moderates.

now, helping to catch drug dealers, drunk drivers and thieves. their spokesman denies they're hard liners, allied with islamic militants. he says they're simply helping a weak police force impose security. but at what cost? freedom has become a relative concept in the new libya. we got access to the prison, home to nearly 700 inmates. most here are accused of crimes like robbery, drugs and murder. but some cells are reserved for so-called political crimes. >> translator: i'm here because i was accused of being against the revolution and we support gadhafi. when we were first brought here,

we were tortured. no freedom of speech. even talking to you, god knows what will happen to me, but i have to tell the truth. >> reporter: once again, public dissent is being silenced in libya libya. once again, the square is being used to parade the power of tripoli's masters. this doesn't feel like a takeover by islamist radicals or complex battles between competing local interests. libya's revolution hasn't stopped turning. the longer it spins, the more it risks dragging the country into greater violence and chaos leaving those who risked everything for a better future with songs and slogans and unfulfilled dreams. "bbc news," tripoli.

inside the armored vehicles is the only safe passage to this district of the city. the residents here fled months ago. the only people left are the fighters. the best revolution untouched by the army now tearing itself apart. militia attacked by rival governments have been fighting for over eight months leaving hundreds dead. embedded in these buildings, jihadists still put up resistance. the commander says his men are close to driving them out. >> translator: we are here in the center of benghazi. we are very close to some of the

snipers. 95% of the situation is under our control. with the help of guards we will clean the whole area soon. >> reporter: as the city fractures, emxtremists go into the fight. these pictures claim men loyal to the islamic state operating in the city. this is the man in the center of the battle the general backed by some arab nations vowed to rid the sticity of extremists and some nations who fight alongside them. >> translator: these groups were smaller at the beginning then the supplies started. military aid and fighters throughout the city supplied from turkey and qatar. in the end, there were 7,000

fighters including sharia and the islamic state. >> reporter: seen as a divisive figure critics say he's preparing to crown himself leader of libya. last week they accused his fighters of looting the central bank of benghazi. this bank has been seized by force of the government. it's still not pictured yet. working his way through the remains of his bank the government goes up to the safe. >> translator: we are here at the libyan central bank in front of the vault. as you can see, it's locked and it's just rumor. >> reporter: but this is not about that it's about control.

the general's force might have the upper hand in the city. people have started to return but as powers move in the city splinters further and the conflict across the country deepens. "bbc news," benghazi. after that dramatic election victory in greece the country's new prime minister has held his first cabinet meeting and said the country will not default on its debts and he wants a mutually beneficial solution. >> translator: our priority is also a renegotiations with our partner seeking a justice, viable and beneficial solution so the country gets out of the vicious cycle of debt and inflation. we are ready to negotiate with radical reform and changes to a fiscal plan to balance the budget aimed at not creating new

sirleaf. i'm lucy hockings. and this historic visit by president obama. >> i'm live in delhi. today, we're looking at the infrastructure of india and build building restructure on the way. >> is the market on the- -- >> the market has fallen by 10% since the election and today, the new government introduced

radical changes including pull the plug on its radical plan. more in the next few minutes. welcome back to gmt. growing the economy was top of the agenda. india's prime minister modi. it still is as he held talks with president obama this week. both of the leaders promised to build closer trade ties. one thing india really wants from foreign investors is cash and expertise to improve its infrastructure network. we take you to president obama's visit with us. >> reporter: hello and welcome to delhi. we have come away from the city's center. it links delhi to the north of the country. it is noisy and busy and commute commuter rush hour. they love their homes here.

we come here today because we're looking at india's infrastructure, roads, railway, electricity, water, internet large parts. i took a railway journey the other day in an old style antequated open carriages. it was romantic but problematic. huge parts of the infrastructure have to be upgraded. there are projects going on. over my shoulder the bridge is under construction a new line new stations opening up to stretch out from the capital and a spanking new international airport and about to open an underground next month. before i show you the piece, let me give you a price of the ticket. the 35 journey costs about 19

rubies. 30 cents. people i spoke to on the metro, they had no complaints about the cost. delhi's method row to is seen as in -- delhi's metro is seen as india's first transport network seen as what the country needs. 3,000 journeys a day with 2.4 million passengers on its six lines. and it's busy. >> it's pretty good. actually very convenient. connects the whole city and you don't have to use the roads anymore. very convenient. >> reporter: how much time does it save you? >> if i had to travel by road take me two hours or something given the roads and traffic. this takes less time. >> reporter: what about safety and reliability, those sorts of things. >> it's pretty safe. before this the connectors and

times i had to travel long distances, it took twice what it is. turns out people can stay at a place far from the job place. it's cheaper. if you stay closer to the places you work it's more expensive. you can travel in the morning, save time and stay away from your office area. >> it's affordable. >> cheap. >> it saves time and saves our location location. >> reporter: in your journey to and from work how much time does it save you? >> it would save many time compared to road transport, it would take a lot of time. we can say that. it is the lifeblood of the economy and delhi area. >> reporter: here's the problem. the last part of the metro, the airport was only finished in 2011. india needs infrastructure and it needs it quicker.

and then there's the money. the metro is state-owned. india is desperately trying to attract companies like japan and china to invest in its infrastructure. can the americans compete? that's the question that has to be answered. that's the modern metro on global. we'll show you the footage i took on the old style railways. let's turn to something the next minute or so something we hoped to bring you yesterday, that video in a delicious irony, i'm here in delhi and he's in london promoting his latest film. we spoke to him in the global studios and talked about changes indyias has already seen and changes still have to happen. >> i do believe the latest campaign prime minister modi has begun

begun, save a child and educate her, is very vital for india. i believe women form 50% of the strength of any country. sooner or later i see this percolating this pot into the rest of the country. we have given a lot of importance to women. in my own profession if i may look back way back in the '60s, when i began, there used to be just one lady on set, the chaperone with the leading lady mother or sister or something like that. now, you watch our sets women working behind the camera assistant directors, look after management and look after production. they direct films. in the last few years we had prom prominent women directors and all very popular and successful. yes, i do look upon the coming years to be very progressive in this front.

>> reporter: we will play you that full interview in global. he's talking about film and poverty, talking about his time in politics a brief time and also his take on what we've seen over the last three or four days. we will also play you an interview with the cabinet minister in charge of infrastructure all of that later. now, back to you. >> thank you. looking forward to "global." >> now, here with us even apple was surprised by the figures. >> the ceo, tim cook said these are incredible numbers. let me explain them and break them down lucy thank you. hello. yes, the tech giant made $18 billion in the last three months of 2014. that is a 40% in crease on the same period earlier. the biggest profit for a public

company in history. the iphone is the primary reason for the sunk in profits. ceo tim cook described it incredible saying the demand for apple products has reached and all time high. apple sold a staggering 74.5 million iphones in that crucial holiday period beating prior records with a significant portion coming from one country. china. all the money apple brought in during that time came in over 74.5$74.5 billion, a 30% increase from a year earlier. interesting to notice sales of the ipad went down continuing to disappoint by 18%. sales in greater china hit $16 billion, a 70% increase from a year earlier and almost equal to the company sales in europe.

big numbers n. the editor of "mobile" magazine this is an oh my gosh scenario. interesting when apple started selling iphones in china many thought they would be too pricey for the chinese but looks like the chinese wanted the apple brand. >> yes. it's an aspirational product in china and the usa and people have bought into that in a big way figures show. >> not only that across many developing. we saw sales in brazil and india. >> 65% of that growth is from international markets across the board and comes down to being an aspirational brand, something people want to own as a status. >> what's interesting is the ipad. ipad sales drop. i'm wondering with the flashy

iphone iphone, larger screen, is that cannibalizing the ipad sales? >> yes. larger screen size what people ares using different products for. tablets are a cyclical purchase. once you buy one you don't buy another one straight away. apple is balancing the product portfolio, while one product is declining in sales, another one is on the up. >> what's next? it's awfully hard to beat expectations but they're also sitting on a cash mountain of $142 billion. what's next for apple? >> that is a big question. historically they haven't spent a lot on research and development. the area to look at is services. apple pay is the next big thing they'll be pushing out and definitely interesting to see if they have anything else up their sleeve in regard to services and their product. >> what about the watch, the

iwatch? >> that will appeal to the core apple real fan boy. whether it can spread out from that. wearable but in the early stages. one to watch but not the same sales we've seen for the iphone. >> that will be very interesting in indeed. great stuff joining us from the "mobile" magazine. now, turning our attention to the greaseece stock market after the new government said it would hold down any plans. and they were 6.6% respectively. one of the first decisions was stopping the plan fail over 60% in the port authority. meanwhile the interest for 10 year bonds and 10 year debt has gone back up above 10%.

that ain't a good sign. shares in bank taking another big hit today. some stocks down by 20%. let's talk to andrew walker. good to see you as always. these privatization plans, they were a part of the government's plans to get cash in hand. how important were they are they for the greek economy? >> they're important for two reasons, one is to get a bit of cash in and the other idea behind having privatization such an important part of the program agreed with greece's bailout to make these industries more efficient. that's the basic idea. the decision taken by the greek government is a wider symbolic significance and why it had such a striking response in the

financial markets and seen as being a rapid decision to show a clear statement of intent that the government really is serious about the kind of things it was proposing to do in the election campaign and that basically means reversing austerity and trying to renegotiate the debt. that's really what's bothering financial markets, that wider indication of quick action taken by the new government and the kind of potential, i emphasizes potential end game bothering them is the possibility greece may end up leaving the euro. that's why banks have been so much at the ender of the action because if greece were to leave the euro bank deposits would be changed to national currency and reduce value. >> do we know how this

government plans to pay for all those vote winning promises. just briefly? have we heard anything more about that? >> the key sample i think, is to release greece burden of repaying the debt. until 2007 the greek government had a surplus without paying for the interest payments. that asset would make a big difference but how the financial markets would take it if it was not a negotiated agreement with its lenders. >> this will go on for some time. let's talk about this. scotch whiskey. the report out today says this drink, this industry is worth more to the uk economy than iron steel, even exposures. the scotch whiskey association says it now accounts for 25% of total uk food and zrirngdrink educate

sporting accounting for $7.5 billion to the uk economy and supporting more than 40,000 jobs. how much should we be worried about rival whiskey makers? japanese whiskey and have won a slew of awards. last year the world whiskey bible, there is one apparently, gave its top award from japan. for the first time not a single scottish whiskey made it into the top five of the whiskey bible 2015. a question i put to one scotch whiskey expert. >> we would say that's the range of products and flavors and styles is unbeatable compared to any other. there is competition. i think all competition is good. industries that operate in competitive environments tend to be the most successful.

the more people that drink whiskey around the world the better. you still have to bear in mind scotch whiskey is twice as big as u.s. whiskey and 10 times as big as irish or japanese whiskey. we're still doing something to right operating on that scale. >> they sure are. tweet or e-mail if you like and that is all of the business for today. the race to be the next president of the world governing football body fifa. we are just hearing the former portugal international former barcelona real madrid player has announced he is going to stand. he has said he wants to change an organization he describes as being too often associated with scan dahling. to remind you quite a task ahead of him.

his opponent has been on the job 17 years and going for a 15th term in may and the international player of the year, twice in fact is going to stand and will take on the candidate for france and also one other. still to come should we prepare for ebola the same way as we prepare for war? that's the opinion of bill gates. you two had been through everything together. two boyfriends. three jobs. you're like "nothing can replace brad!" then liberty mutual calls. and you break into your happy dance. if you sign up for better car replacement, we'll pay for a car that's a model year newer with 15,000 fewer miles than your old one. see car insurance in a whole new light. liberty mutual insurance.

m so glad we could be here for larry. man when i got shingles it was something awful. it was like being blindsided by some linebacker. you don't see it coming. boom! if you've had chicken pox that shingles virus is already inside of you. it ain't pretty when it comes out. now i'm not telling you this so that you'll feel sorry for me. i'm just here to tell you that one out of three people are gonna end up getting shingles. i was one of 'em. so please go talk to your doctor or pharmacist.

an exchange for a fighter pilot held hostage by islamic

state. a bigger attack on a military convoy israel has responded by firing shells. should the world prepare for epidemics of deadly diseases like ebola in the same way it prepares for war? that's the opinion of bill gates the microsoft founder turned philanthropist putting his considerable resources into helping the worst affected countries in west africa cope with ebola. his charitable foundation has pledged 1.$1.5 billion to help fight it. >> the ebola epidemic is still out there. we need to continue to help these countries to get it all the way down to zero. there's also a huge deficit in the health systems need to be rebuilt and there's a set of kids over the last year have not been vaccinated. in fact if we don't go and do that more kids will buy a

vaccine for preventable diseases than ebola. and why don't we have resources on standby for these things it will be important to use this as a lesson because it could have been far worse if the disease had been even more infectious. >> why didn't we respond faster in the west? >> the fundamental answer is what we didn't do before the epidemic hit. the idea of what we did in those few months before is not important. there was no set of plans, no list of volunteers no doctors trained. there's this contrast between our preparedness for war, which is a good thing, where we have planes and we train people and we do war games and spend tens of billions being ready. if you say what's the greatest risk of something bid that would say kill 10 million people the chance of an epidemic is much higher than the chance of that scale of a war.

>> reporter: how close are we to coming up with a cure for ebola and is your foundation going to have any part in that? >> it's very likely by the end of this year they'll have quite a few ebola tools. there's a drug called zeimap that appears to work quite well but no way to manufacture it quickly. that's being fixed. the good news is the epidemic will probably be at zero by the time we get that. but if it ever comes back that would be on standby. i should make clear the next epidemic of significance won't be ebola. ebola, we will be ready for the next ebola epidemic. that won't be the one that creates the problem. it's great we built these tools and might be used it's these other pathogens we need to be

ready for. post inging on facebook turning into a viral hit and a boy praises the biggest difference in his life and caught the attention across the world. over 25,000$25,000 has been raised to help the students visit harvard. >> they said to me do you know we made it? i didn't understand what they were talking about. the $100,000 in 45 minutes. i was like what? >> i was walking to go home. a guy asked if he could interview me doing a blog called humans in new york on facebook. he asked who inspire med the most? i said miss lopez, my principal. i got 8,000 hits in one hour. i was like what? snoo>> they came to the school and

said, what can i do to help? >> i said harvard for me what i experienced is what i my students need to experience. once i went there i felt like i belonged. i was an adult when that happened. i want my scholars to have that experience before. i want them to know the harvards yales, all the ivy league you can get there. >> when you're stuck in one city for too long you begin to feel like this is all that will be in your life. >> it is not really a bad place. you have teens carrying guns because they get their influence on what they see on tv or old ones. so we decided we were going to find out how much it would cost for them to have an entire weekend away. then we figured we would only do $100,000 and do it for three years.

it's only been about four days in and i think we're over $600,000. $600,000. >> yeah. it makes me feel i can be better. >> i was rude. i didn't listen. i felt like nobody can't say nothing to me. i changed. >> the thinking about us is showing now we can go places. they want us to succeed. >> my dream is to open my own restaurant. i want to become an actor as well. i really want to provide for my mom because she is -- she has done a lot for me. >> the story is so important because here's the image of a young black male trusting brandon to say that our principal impacted him. he may say i make him matter but he made me matter.
