have given now about exactly what they have discovered at the scene. >> thank you very much. detail coming from official sources now, both the official media and beijing police. u.s. intelligence chiefs have publicly dismissed media reports of the scale of spiting on the leaders and citizens of many that the scale of spiting on the leaders and citizens of many of their allies. james clapper told a hearing that learning the intentions of foreign leaders is a top tenet of intelligence aims and the head of the nsa rejected the false media reports in france, spain, italy. the data on tens of miles of telephone calls per month have been gathered. bbc.com >> these are patriots that come to work every day saying how can we defend this country and protect our civil liberties and privacy. nothing that has been released has shown that we are trying to

between european union members and the united states. >> for people like you and me who travel and go to things like this, you work on the assumption that this is the kind of risk you've got to avoid, a usb stick. >> it is an obvious way of downloading a bug or virus onto a computer which can be used to send back a to in the future. certainly, many people attending conferences in far-off countries have to be wary of that. certainly, the suggestion from the british delegation is that they did not touch these memory sticks and mobile phone charging cables. >> let's move on with the business and some good news, relatively, for spain. >> we have to take the good news where we can get it. ofer more than two years shrinking wealth, official figures show that spain has done it -- it is out of recession.

the national statistics agency in spain confirmed the spanish 0.1% in the by three months ending in september. we know that spanish firms are making more stuff and selling more goods overseas and money is starting to flow back into the country. very few ordinary people in the country are feeling the benefits. rate ofunemployment 26%, one in four spaniards remain out of work and many families remain strapped for cash which is not good for domestic consumption. to get that to grow, you need spent -- you need more spaniards to spend my. america's central bank, the federal reserve, is holding its second to last meeting of the year. last month, most people thought the u.s. central bank was about to reduce its emergency funding for the world's biggest economy but after the damaging government shutdown and some disappointing jobs numbers

they were trapped in those flames and they died as a result. there were children among them as well. planes are now popular and trains have been popular but what about the scale of bus travel? bus travel has always been fairly popular in india. these modern luxury buses are extremely popular. a lot of the buses that travel in india tend to be old or poorly maintained. this was a bust by the swedish -- by a swedish manufacturer. many of the passengers on board were traveling home for the holiday weekend. it is the end of the festival on sunday and some of those on board were it workers. traveling home from bangalore. the travel company which operated the buses one of the

ones which is a little bit more reputed in india and has operated for 20 years. people are shocked that this incident took lace even though india has a very poor safety record, more than 130,000 people die in road accidents every year. nevertheless, they are quite shocked that a bus which has a reputation for safety was involved in an accident of this nature. >> it that was a terrible accident in the south of india. givingnhagen, police say drug addicts a room to inject their drugs is reducing violence on the street. they are introducing drug fixing rooms. that follows australia, canada, and other european countries. not everyone is convinced by the concept. >> denmark has a reputation for a high standard of living and it is regular lee rated one of the

happiest places in the world. it capital, copenhagen, is also home to the biggest drug scene in scandinavia. addicts havear, been shooting up inside legal drug conception rooms. this is his third pics of the day. --fix of the day. it is heroin mixed with catain. addicts arrive here from eight in the morning until midnight and bring their own drugs which are illegal in denmark. police in the ar you for possession. what they get is sterile equipment. things like syringes and over here -- needles. one million of these have been handed out in the last year. >> it is difficult in the street so it's better when they make these rooms. you get everything. >> two of my best friends died

this year because they were not nearby a room like this. this room has been safe. >> the drug rooms have helped calm the community in this part of copenhagen. it has led to fewer fights between addicts. this area used to be littered with syringes. social workers say they would regularly pick up several hundred every day. the drug consumption rooms opened one year ago and it has become difficult to spot any. the project remains a controversial idea. >> we think that maybe we should use the resources on getting them out of the use of drugs and soda providing facilities for them to continue to take drugs and providing a zone where the police cannot enforce the drug laws. that is a big dilemma. we are concerned that this may mean that more people continue to use drugs and there will be more dealing in the area. >> we have been out on patrol

with police and it's clear that despite the efforts to clear up the neighborhood, there is still work to be done. officers admit it has been a real change directing people to places where people can take drugs. police to believe this idea could work across europe. perhaps not to solve the continents drug problem but as a key part of the solution. countries, opinion is split whether that anus concept is really a good one. in britain, not everyone supports drug fixing rooms. i'm joined by the chief executive of a group called focus 12, rehabilitation center, prompting -- promoting abstinence. uk, we have spent so much money and given so much time to the provision of methadone prescribing that we

have not got the resources or the money that we could set aside for consumption rooms. consumption rooms cost about one million pounds. about uk that equates to 150 people going through a rehabilitation program. as your previous speaker said, getting up trucks completely. i'm not sure it's an idea that will catch on in the uk. i think it could lose a little bit with the problem. we need to spend what little resources we have on trying to get people off drugs rather than trying to keep them on drugs in a safe way. are you saying this is not cost-effective or medically, it has not been proven to achieve what it set out to achieve? >> i'm sure it has probably set out to achieve what it achieves. if there are three nurses on duty, they are surely not going to overdose. but it is not cost-effective.

at one million pounds per unit it is not cost-effective the map represents about 150 people being able to go to a full rehabilitation program and stands the opportunity of getting completely free of drugs. that obviously must be the order of the day rather than colluding with continued drug use. >> apart from your own position, how would you describe the real gap between the view you are taking and the view taken by those in denmark? gapi think it is the between trying to get people abstinence and claim and back into society which is a view that i taken several other and thosethe uk take who think people should be allowed to continue and do with dignity a choice they have made. i would view that as a bad choice. i think that's where the gulf begins to spread. sion withondone collu

what i see as a bad life choice. >> thank you. they were the largest animals ever to walk the planet. up 40urs, they grew meters long and can weigh over 80 tons. how did they manage to support such huge weight? researchers think they found the answer. here is a science reporter. they were some of the biggest animals ever to run the planet. sauropodsigantic dominated the landscape 150 million years ago. these dinosaurs were far bigger and heavier than anything roaming the earth today. scientists want to know how their bones and muscles moved this vast bulk.

understanding this could give valuable insight into what our own biological tissue is capable of. emanations --l animations re-create the biggest of the sauropods. they scanned the dinosaur skeleton and put muscles on the bones. they were able to instruct the digital store robot to learn to walk revealing exactly how it's like muscles would have moved its huge body. >> this animal is so big, it's right at the limit of what you can cope with. getting -- things like getting up off the ground would have been extra in early difficult. >> for this research is part of a study on what science is call sauropod gigantism. the collection reveals insights into how the creatures would have swept their incredibly longnecked over services in order to feed.

this builds a picture of how the sauropods moved efficiently has revealed how nature is bald and immense -- of how nature sold a huge problem. >> that is dinosaurs. stay with us here on bbc world news is the full program is coming up. ♪ >> makes sense of international world news at bbc.com/world news. >> funding of this presentation is made possible by the freeman foundation, newman's own foundation, giving all profits to charity and pursuing the common good for over 30 years, our relationship
