10:00 am
first comes...getting it a little wrong. love does not come first. first comes like. hello, you are watching gmt on "bbc world news." i'm david eades. the top story, what president assad does know and doesn't know about the war in his own country. in an interview, they deny the use of barrel bombs and says the u.s. led coalition passes on information about the conflict with islamic state. >> >> they tell you things? >> some things.
10:01 am
>> you tell them things? >> no. >> delhi votes in the corruption of the modi party. also i have committed no crime. the head of the imf, dominique strauss-khan. also in the program, erin is here to talk about the war on diesel. >> the mayor of paris wants diesel vehicles out of the city by 2020. london is looking to crack down. we are going to find out if it could cost people thousands. the winners and losers. it's midday here in london 7:00 in washington and 2:00 p.m.
10:02 am
in the syrian capitol of damascus where the u.n. special envoy is trying to build an agreement to introduce a freeze on the relentless fighting and killing in the country. how interested is president bashar al assad? he's been talking to jeremy. jeremy is now in the lebanese capitol beirut and joins us from there. quite an interview, jeremy. >> reporter: yeah. i think they chose this particular time because bashar al assad is feeling comfortable. i think they have chose this particular time because bashar al assad is feeling more secure now. i think because the americans are bombing islamic state, taking care of that particular problem for him.
10:03 am
but, it's been a long time since the bbc interviewed him, 2010 to be precise is when we spoke to him. there were a lot of questions to ask and a lot to answer. you have lost control of large areas of syria, the jihadist group that calls itself islamic state emerged. there are perhaps 200,000 syrians dead millions lost their home through an envoy. they have called it the most serious humanitarian crisis. has syria become a failed state? >> no as long as the government and the state institutions -- cannot talk about failed states. talking about losing control is something completely different. it's like if you have invasion of terrorists coming from abroad and the government is fighting
10:04 am
and defending its country. >> i have spent time on the front line with soldiers from the syrian army who insisted they were patriotic, they were patriots, not cold-blooded killers. i have interview people and certainly other journalists and human rights people and so on who say they have suffered badly at the hands of syrian soldiers. they can't all have been lying, surely. >> how? how surely? why are you sure? >> well because the weighted testimony. human rights for example, january of this year said that forces of bashar al assad have viciously attacked using indiscriminate weapons notoriously barrel bombings. >> this is childish. >> childish? >> yeah. >> why? >> somebody against their people and the great power.
10:05 am
survive how? >> what about barrel bombs? you don't deny your forces use them? >> i know about the army they use bullets. i haven't heard of army using barrels. >> large barrels full of explosives and projectives dropped from helicopters and explode with devastating effect. there's been a lot of testimony. >> we have bombs, missiles and bullets. >> you wouldn't deny included under bombs are these barrel bombs, which are indiscriminate weapons. >> no. there's no indiscriminate weapons. when you shoot, you aim. when you aim, you aim at terrorists in order to protect civilians. again, if you are talking casualty we cannot have war without casualty. >> on the fight against islamic state and al qaeda, the u.s. and others said you cannot be a partner in that fight. would you like to be a partner? >> partner with who?
10:06 am
>> with the countries attacking the islamic state at the moment? >> definitely cannot. we don't have the -- we don't want for one simple reason. we cannot be in line with a country who supports terrorism. >> do you talk to the americans? there are american planes in the air above syria. do you coordinate? >> no because they don't talk to anyone. they easily trumpet over the international law. they don't talk to us we don't talk to them. >> i'm curious. is there a time when the american military in the air above syria and your people are in the air, the syrian air force is in the air but there haven't been incidents between the two. no shot seems to have been traded. no planes have been shot down. that suggests to me surely there's -- >> that's correct. again, there's no direct cooperation. >> direct. is it by iraq?
10:07 am
that's what some have said? >> through third party. more than one party. iraq and other countries. sometimes they convey a message, a general message. there's nothing tactical. >> they tell you we are going to bomb at 10:00 this evening, please keep out of the way. >> before it started, we didn't know about -- >> is that a continuing dialogue that you have through third parties? >> there's no dialogue. there's formation, but not dialogue. >> they tell you things? >> something like that. >> do you tell them things? >> no. >> and apart from iraq -- >> when we do something in our territory we don't ask anyone or tell anyone. >> can we talk about the humanitarian situation a bit. one of the affected military tactics, the syrian army used is isolate areas held by rebels and to starve them out. that's had the effect of starving civilians. that again, is against the laws
10:08 am
of war, starving civilians. >> that's not correct for one reason. much of the areas where the rebels take over, the civilians came to our area. very simply. not all the areas in the attack are filled with militants. >> they may have come to your area not because they want to come, but their area is being heavily bombed. i have been in suburbs of damascus. rubble 20 meters high. they want to get out. >> for one reason the natural reaction of any person of the people, of the families of the population is to flee from any area where they expect a conflict. that's why they flee that area they expect fighting between the army. >> what keeps you awake at night? >> what keeps me awake at night? mainly a reason that could
10:09 am
affect any human. life. could be personal could be work. >> your job? >> could be. i'm a human. what could any human be affected by? affected with the same factors. >> that is president assad talking with jeremy. a fascinateing interview. his xheendemeanor seems strange. either confident or strained. what was it like sitting there, soaking all that up? >> reporter: well he's very polite. he's very courteous in an old fashioned sort of way. he smiles quite a lot as well off camera. he was, you know rather welcoming, i would say. afterwards shook my hand and off he went. he did, though get quite flippant, i suppose when talking
10:10 am
barrel bombs. he made that remark about next thing he'll be telling us he has cooking pots for bombs. the barrel bombs are well documents. the effects are well documented too. the position of the victims, which include civilians. that is something he is saying is not the case. >> jeremy did you get a sense, sense -- the uae have resumed some attacks on islamic state targets in the course of tuesday and returned safely. did you get a clear sense as to how much information is being passed to the assad government by the u.s.-led coalition? >> reporter: no, i didn't get a clear sense of that. it became clear there was a dialogue going on via -- well
10:11 am
information being passed i should say, by the iraqis which is a quite obvious middleman. they have relations with the americans and of course with damascus. but, the content of that safe to say it's about what's going on in the war, wasn't revealed. i think, though the fact that this operation is going on without a hitch in terms of the syrians coming up against the americans and their allies suggests there must be close communication happening. >> jeremy is now in beirut joining us in the studio is a member of the syrian national council and director of the lobbying group, the syrian center for allegations. thank you for joining us. you had a chance to listen to what president assad said. still comes over as the man who feels he's in a degree of
10:12 am
control. >> well let's remember at the beginning, we are talking about the man who doesn't have any legitimacy to rule. he uses the methods of his father. >> years which you have been trying to remove him and he doesn't go. >> that's right. that's right. it sounds to me he is in complete denial. he's completely detached from reality. he doesn't understand the complexity of the geo politics and development in the region and he continues to systematically lie. he's a liar and i am pretty sure that he is a psycho path a sociopath. >> whatever you think about him, the fact on the ground suggests that you are a very fragmented opposition, which is in itself
10:13 am
incapable of resolving this issue. is that fair? >> well to some extent it is fair. let's remember syria has been under brutal dictatorship since 1962. so under such dictatorship there wasn't a chance for opposition to grow and function normally like the way we know here in britain. so the opposition has been suppressed brutally suppressed under assad and his father for 50 years now. so i think -- i think talking about the opposition and effective functional opposition is quite ambitious and unfair on the opposition. we haven't been able to grow normally. >> i understand. the point is you are in the midst of a dreadful conflict
10:14 am
beyond dreadful and we hear he gets some sort of information filtered through from the u.s. and the coalition about areas they might be looking to attack so-called islamic state as well. you are caught in the middle. frankly, you are not the biggest priority at the moment. >> yes. that's right. that's right. the attention has shifted from the syrian revolution and this legitimate demands of the syrian people for democracy and freedom to isis. with the right of isis and other terrorist groups now the priority is with this security which is huge. it is destabilizing the whole region of the middle east and it is threatening international security. it's threatening us here in britain and france.
10:15 am
we have witnessed several serious -- of terrorism. >> we have to be very quick now, i'm running late on time. but, the u.n. envoy looking for a freeze we have heard from the president there in a few words, in chance can you see any chance of a freeze in the near future? >> i can't see any future for the plan. simply because it is not realistic and we are talking about a president who lies regularly and who doesn't respect any law, any humanitarian law, any international law. he's a criminal. how could you trust that this person would respect a plan? i have no -- i don't think that this is going to work. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. well you can see the full interview that jeremy conducted
10:16 am
with president assad of syria. it's running a bit later in the day here on "bbc world news." the times on your screen as you can see there. you have a couple opportunities there. also available online at bbc.com/news. we have a lot of background and analysis on the conflict in syria to go with that. let's catch up on other news around the world. malaysia's anwar is serving his conviction for sodomy or gay sex. they believe it is part of the campaign to discredit him. sending troops to nigeria to fight boko haram. they attacked a prison in the south of the country. the hong kong woman found guilty of brutally mistreating
10:17 am
her indonesian maid. the case led to protest by migrant workers. she starved and beat her maid. she will be sentenced later. you are watching gmt. stay with us. coming up in a moment we'll be live in paris to report on two babies switched at birth more than 20 years ago. the families win compensation for the swap.
10:18 am
10:19 am
10:20 am
they have been -- supporters have been out celebrating in the streets. the results are seen as the first setback for the prime minister. here is more from the bbc in delhi. >> reporter: the celebrations are getting frenzied here. it's not just excitement victory. [ inaudible ] the man at the center of it all -- a special mandate he has the support of the foreign working classes. it's quite obvious from the scale of the victory -- massive win raises serious questions for the prime minister. eight months ago, he won a victory nationally. he was seen as the man of action someone who could get india's economy growing again.
10:21 am
there's a sense the prime minister is still to get moving and beginning to learn that forces are fickle and unforgiving. >> former head of the international monetary fund started to give evidence at a trial in france. he's accused of helping procure women for sex parties. part of an alleged prostitution ring. he admits he did attend the parties, but didn't know the women were being paid. the trial is getting plenty of attention. lucy was in court as mr. strauss-khan took the stand. >> reporter: he answered a few questions in a low voice, a fairly solemn presence in the courtroom in a black suit. he answered a few questions in a low voice, a solemn presence in the courtroom in his black suit. he answered questions about one of his co-accused.
10:22 am
he's alleged to have helped organize the sex parties that dominic strauss-khan is answering questions about. he describes him as his main contact within the group and said he was a real friend to him. he was there when his mother died. described the friendship as an important one. they met 12 times in three years. he was giving basic details about the relationship with the other co-accused. it is certainly not where dominic strauss-khan thought he would be. he was tipped to be france's next president until a previous sex scandal broke in 2011. having fought that successfully he now finds himself here again with the french press and the international press upon him. all eyes watching as he tries to defend himself against the latest allegations. what he's accused of you are right, it's not just prostitutes, that is not illegal in france. but procuring them is illegal.
10:23 am
he's facing a charge of aggravated procurement meaning he was involved in procuring sex workers for parties that took place in france and washington during his time as head of the imf. >> we have pictures that tell an extraordinary story for you. two french families whose babies were switched at birth 20 years ago have been awarded 2 million gyros in compensation. they were put in an incubator together. ten years later, a woman discovered she and her husband were not the biological parents. an investigation was held and the other couple was traced. our correspondent is in paris following this remarkable tale. it's a tragic one too, really, isn't it? >> reporter: well it is and it isn't. it isn't in the sense that they
10:24 am
have a very loving and beautiful relationship. it is tragic and heart rending when you think they will know she shouldn't be there. struggle through this emotional turmoil. the decision making and the conflict that you can imagine when they discovered that she was not the daughter she should have been with her other parents. another girl out there who we haven't seen because they didn't want to appear for the press. another girl is actually her daughter. it's been you know clearly traumatic. or you can say on the plus said the daughter from the picture seems to be very very well adjusted. from her point of view it's simple. they are attached to the people they grew up with and their relationship with their parents, even if they are not their parents is clear and simple. it's more traumatic element is downward from the mother's
10:25 am
involved. >> why did it take so long for this to emerge? >> reporter: well you could say why did it emerge at all? they could have gone on without knowing at all. the fact was she grew up as a little girl started looking less and less like her parents. she was dark. she had frizzy hair and what happened was this started causing gossip. her father not father her husband got very suspicious and it cause zed such tension in their marriage they broke up. clearly, the suspicion was that sophie had an affair and tried to pass off the child as her husbands. eventually -- >> we are running out of time. it is a story and a half to tell, though isn't it? do stay with us. coming up in the next half hour
10:26 am
on gmt, fighting goes on in eastern ukraine. we'll talk to our correspondents in donesque and moscow to get the latest. they are trying to make gains ahead of wednesday's peace talks. that's coming up shortly on gmt. thanks for watching. it's the candy bar that's too hot for tv in all its naked glory; stripped of chocolate, with nothing but salty roasted peanuts on soft sweet caramel. a payday bar will get you through your day. expose yourself to payday.
10:28 am
10:29 am
10:30 am
hello, welcome to gmt on "bbc world news." i'm david eades. in this half hour another day of fighting in ukraine. they try to make gains ahead of peace talks due on wednesday. we'll get the latest from don donesque and moscow. a useful parenting tool or invasion of privacy. the app that allows parents access to everything their child does on the smartphone or tablet. having a look at the struggle in the music streaming industry.
10:31 am
>> yeah. you know billions of songs were streamed last year. but, millions of dollars weren't made by the sites providing it. the top leading companies are getting out of the business all together. we are going to look at what is the future of music streaming. prorussian rebels in ukraine say they have encircled a town in the east. ukraine's government says troops are still fighting along one particular supply road. it looks like -- what may well prove to be a peace summit takes place on wednesday. it serves as a key railway. it's been the focus of intense fighting for a week.
10:32 am
it's launched against separatists near the southeastern port city. i have breaking news for you as ukrainian officials are saying three people killed another 15 wounded in a rocket attack in eastern ukraine. i have pictures for you here. this was filmed by local residents and posted online. you will see a series of explosions in the distance gradually getting closer and closer. sit a town about 50 kilometers from the front lines. it's north. prorussian rebels denied firing on the town. those are the latest pictures we have. let's go to james reynolds in the rebel held city. it feels as if there are incidents breaking out left and right and possibly center. >> reporter: yes.
10:33 am
we have been focusing on trying to find out the details of essentially those three areas of conflict. it's still government held territory. that crucial strategic town. one contact we spoke to says that the rebels have managed to cut off the government's last remaining supply road. the government insisted to bbc fighting is still continuing. furszer south on the coast, we understand that those progovernment forces have been trying to push east to get some land back from the rebels. >> it's not as if there hasn't been violence on a daily basis. do you get the sense that with talks of the summit this is the moment where the forces on the ground are desperately trying to clear out clear lines for themselves? >> reporter: i think that's a strong possibility. they will know this.
10:34 am
if world leaders do end up meeting and if they do end up trying to agree to a cease-fire the two sides will want to get as much land before the cease-fire as possible. rebels will want to try to keep advancing. >> well that's james. i'm glad to say that bridgette kendall, our correspondent in moscow joins me now. bridgette, we are getting word of troop movements, russian troop movements as well on what feels like a mounting critical moment. what are they up to? >> that's right. there have been reports of training exercises taking place in southern russia not that far from ukraine. we are getting reports of more training exercises, this time in the peninsula of crimea which is legally, ukrainian territory. it was annexed by russia last month and they now control it.
10:35 am
it appears they are holding exercises there. close to the area or conflict where james is. it seems part of this attempt to cease ground ahead of what everybody thinks could be crucial talks tomorrow. >> that's the keyword, could. do you get a sense from moscow that president putin is up for the talks at this point? he's responding with vigor to the american remarks, isn't he? >> that's right. his spokesman was making it clear to the west that try to put pressure on russia saying more sanctions or washington might consider arming kiev and russia woul not respond to the pressure. he had a statement himself to russian diplomats saying no matter how much pressure they will enshoe a foreign policy. they are playing a game. they are not firing back saying
10:36 am
if you arm them, then that's at least coming from russian commentators. the head of the security council said if they do supply weapons to kiev it's further aggravation. he said specifically that russia's response to that would be diplomatic and one russian commentator said they would then go ahead and recognize these two rebel areas. we are not there yet. there is this idea of crucial talk tomorrow. if they all get together with the president and president putin, there is a possibility they could agree to a cease-fire. it looks as though that will be difficult. the talks in berlin yesterday, to try to lay the ground work. someone came out saying they have been difficult. some tangible results. more talks later on today. this time it will include representatives from the
10:37 am
prorussian separatists. they have to go well before that summit is -- before we know if it will go ahead tomorrow. >> we will watch and wait for that. thank you indeed. bridgette kendall in moscow. >> time to turn to business. aaron. >> aren't you clever? >> not very much. >> as a diesel car owner, i don't know if i like this story. i think the technical term is straight down. that's it. let me break down the story. thanks, david. one of the most polluted cities in europe. that could be set to change. yes, the mayor of paris wants to ban most diesel vehicles from the city by 2020 to lower air pollution. by july diesel buses and trucks will be banned during the daytime from entering the city. the ban will be extended to
10:38 am
diesel vehicles. the push away from diesel is happening throughout europe. in london studies highlighted the scale of emissions and linked them to 60,000 death as year here in the uk. london vowed to act on these findings under plans for an ultra low emission zone in the city. cities in norway have also discussed antidiesel measures. the changing stance presents big problems for the biggest car maker. europe leads the world as the biggest market for diesel cars. bmw and daimler make up a lot of the total sales. let's get the news from paris and our correspondent. >> decades, people were encouraged to buy diesel cars. it's cheaper here. there was a general policy
10:39 am
environmentally based policy to encourage a move toward diesel because it was, back then that they were less harmful than petrol. there's been a shift in perception. the science changed or the cars have changed and the petrol cars are less polluting now. much greater awareness of the particles emitted by diesel cars. now, there's been a huge shift, which i have to say, some experts say it's excessive in the other direction, against diesel. we have this big, big move. as you say, very much sort of championed by the mayor of paris to bring down -- bring down diesel pollution in the city. >> we have the associate editor of a car magazine.
10:40 am
what's going on? for a decade we were told buy diesel. we did and now they are reversing it. >> that's because there's a concern. you get a much better economy than petrol. now, as they age, the pollution that comes out of the exhaust pipe gets worse. very fine particles, which you can breathe it and absorb it into the body. >> when you say the engine age, what are we talking about? i thought the new diesel technology, a lot of comments was the next best thing since sliced bread. >> the euro 6 have come in. however, the legend as they
10:41 am
age, as the mileage piles up as they use more heavily, the components of the engine wear out. it seems the pollution starts to increase. it's not an area that's really been investigated too heavily. >> the european car manufacturers, i'm wondering the cost to them. a lot have put a lot riding on diesel technology or the flip side can they cash in if this goes ahead, because we need to buy new cars? >> the industry is ahead of the game here. a lot of manufacturers have been launching small petrol engines. they seem to pollute. petrol is a cleaner burning fuel. there's plenty of technology sitting on the shelf. the other thing to note is the cost of a modern diesel engine with the equipment on it is much, much higher than the cost
10:42 am
of a petrol engine. the new jaguar coming out in the next few months the diesel version is nearly 3,000 pounds more expenseive than the petrol version. >> at the end of the day, my colleague here david, he sold his diesel. he lost a third of the resale value because of this diesel story in europe. do we lose? the consumers and owners are going to lose? >> possibly they are great high speed for long distance driving. what it's not good at is stop/start journeys in heavy traffic. so really it depends on what you use the car for. in cities if you live in the city petrol. in the future compressed gas is a good idea. >> okay. we have to leave it there. we appreciate your input. great stuff, thank you very much. we'll have more on that story.
10:43 am
music streaming is being seen by many as the way ahead for the music industry. last year music lovers around the world, listen to this number. they streamed eded 146 billion songs on their devices. that is double twice the amount streamed in 2013. despite the speed the industry is growing, music companies are not making money. the american telecome giant, at&t quit all together. sony is following. what will it make to make it profitable? >> reporter: a 12 million song play list and 2.5 million customers. you might think it would give it a license to print rock 'n' roll money. they struggle for every penny they earn. >> digital streaming is a
10:44 am
competitive business. so the battle to monotize is an ongoing battle that people are not making fortunes hand over fist in this area, that's for sure. >> reporter: take spotify, the giant of the industry. 16 million users and subscriptions, the rest use a free service for songs. revenues from this -- ♪ i stay out too late ♪ >> often complain music is short. american singer taylor swift pulled all her material from spotify. with all the pressures, players are quitting the streaming game. at&t closed their service move passing users. sony will soon close its music unlimited passing users to spotify. >> i think a shake out is
10:45 am
overdue. we need a smaller group of large players to achieve scale economically. they can shape the market move people from the free services to the paid for ones and achieve a more profitable service. >> if they are getting out of the music streaming game others are on for a fight. apple just spent $3 billion buying beats music. spotify tried to raise an extra half billion dollars. they may be able to eke profit out. bbc news. the price of oil is poised for a relatively swift recovery following the collapse to under 50 bucks a barrel. that's according to the latest report from the international
10:46 am
energy agency. however, they made it clear, the industry will not see a return to the record high prices. they also added that unlike past cycles where prices are lower, it's not expected the low prices to greatly boost economic output. low demand was part of the reason for the earlier drop. we have an independent energy expert and he explains why supplies will not truly drop. >> some oil operations you have to drill at well in five months time to maintain production. it's because of low oil prices. supply will come down. the major exploration operations is have a lead time of two, three, four five ten years. it will take longer. i think by 2015, toward the end, we will see oil in general. it will have the pressure on the price of oil. it depends on saudi arabia.
10:47 am
if saudi arabia decides and opec the psychological impact of the announcement. >> not everybody agrees with the iea because citigroup came out and said the recent recovery. they are looking at a $20 barrel of oil. that's because production output is reaching record levels. i used up all my time. >> you have. $20 a barrel extraordinary. stay with us here on "bbc world news." still to come on gmt, clues to how the planet evolved. we go on a journey to the center of the earth. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ if you want it ♪ ♪ go out and get it ♪
10:50 am
i'm david eades. the top stories this hour on gmt. in an exclusive interview, syria's president was denied the use of barrel bombs on civilians. he said the u.s.-led coalition passes on information about the conflict with the islamic state. the former head of imf, strauss-khan says he committed no crime helping to procure women for sex parties. now the center of the earth has been a mystery, at least until now. scientists discovered the core is made up of two parts. a small core with a distinct outer layer. a research team from china and the u.s. studies seismic waves and how they travel through layers of the earth. with me is rebecca. essentially, explain all. what are they telling us?
10:51 am
>> this is such an interesting inging study. the center thousands beneath. we haven't gotten clear. we can't drill down too far, it's too hot. they used a clever trick. they used earthquakes and the seismic waves to study how they change as they bounce from one plate of the earth and back again. this gives a look at what's in the center. we have always known there's an inner core. it's solid. it's about the side of the moon. what we found out is the inner core has its own inner core. there's an inner, inner core. exactly. >> i thought that was the center of the earth. i thought it was iron and nickel nickel. they say it's not like that anymore? >> you are right. it is made as an iron and nickel alloy. what's different about it is the structure. so the center of the earth is
10:52 am
basically made of iron nickel crystals. they are aligned on an east west direction. they are stacked like that. they are on a vertical plane. this might not sound very exciting, but actually it does indicate that something weird happened while the core was forming. the core of the earth isn't as old. it's 1 billion years old compared to 4 billion years old. it solidified it grew and is growing. something weird happened half way through the formation to cause this abrupt, structural change. >> we don't know what it was? >> at some point, they think, that the magnetic poles might have switched from being north and south. we found ancient rocks that suggest something weird was
10:53 am
going on. possibly, could it be that something like this huge magnetic switch, which changed the entire earth might have forced this change? we don't know. we can't go down to find out. >> thanks very much indeed. now, it's tough at home but many young people have smartphones. when they are online there's no knowing what they are up to. a new app allows parents access to everything that child does on that phone or tablet. is that good parenting or invasion of privacy? we are investigating. >> reporter: breakfast, always busy. a quick chat and then katie green has a school bag to pack. in goes the diary, homework and of course, her smartphone. at home, her mom checks while he's online.
10:54 am
>> don't forget to text me once you get to school. >> reporter: out there door there's nothing she can do. >> it would be good to access not a daily basis, but every couple days or something. >> reporter: this will allow you to know when something bad happens in your child's life. >> reporter: this mentor is launching a new app later this year giving remote access to everything a child does on their phone. a built-in alert system. vetting every website and each message, tracking your child's movement. so in theory gayle could watch katie from her front door all the way to the classroom itself. so is it just another way for parents to keep an eye on children when they are online or out of sight or is it really a spy in the mobile that turns mom and dad into big brother. what's he up to? >> playing candy crush at
10:55 am
school. that's how long you have been online. >> keep it between me and her. something going on that i wouldn't want my mom to see the messages. >> it's not like i have anything to hide. she can already see them. >> especially some of the language we use now a day as teenagers might not be appropriate for my parents to see. >> some wouldn't mind their parents having this app. so two out of six. useful parenting tool or invasion of teenage privacy? this digital generation. tracking apps are now a way of life. >> my boys had plenty to hide. i never had to know anything about it. that's it from gmt today.
10:56 am
let's find out what is coming up. >> david, thank you very much. stay with us. in a few minutes time more on president assad and his denial of using barrel bombs. australia's commissioner to london joins us and reports about the threats from the policy and turning back. ce company will only give you 37-thousand to replace it.
