>> 20 people killed as protests against egypt's military rule tins continue in egypt's tahrir squeer and -- square and around the country. these are live pictures coming in from tahrir square. >> spain's popular party promising to tackle the country's problems. >> an slammist goes on -- islamist goes on trial for crimes against humanity. >> also in this program, a bomb suspect plot in new york. apparently inspired by al-qaeda. and meet morgan, the whale whose freedom was decided by a dutch judge.

>> an emergency cabinet meeting in cairo where the number of people killed in protest has risen to 20. let's look at the pictures coming in live from tahrir square. the egyptian health ministry said hundreds more people have been injured. we can see people gathering in some numbers. today police have continued to use tear gas and rubber bullets to try to disburse people using guns in tahrir square. they want military rule to quickly transfer task to a civilian government. elections are due in a week's time. more now from emily buchanan. >> it looks like guerilla warfare. this is a battle for the streets

of cairo and the future of egypt. police fired tear gas while protesters hold back -- throw back stones and pieces of pavement. tahrir square filled with those desperate to stop their revolution from unraveling. activists believed the army could be their ally. now there is concern that an order earl -- orderly transfer to democracy has been broken. there is fear old vested interests still rule. >> the military council said after six months they would hand over power. well, nine months have passed, and there is no indication that they are doing that. i have no faith in these elections at all. the interior ministry is supposed to safeguard the elections, and they are the ones attacking us now. >> near tahrir square, a fire in a six-story apartment building

has become another flash point. people are enraged they wouldn't let firefighters deal with the blaze. >> the police won't allow fire trucks in. >> tear gas is not meant to be the currency of the arab spring, and western governments are urging military rulers to lessen their grip on power. >> we want to see a peaceful transfer to civilian rule. we want to see robust guarantees of human rights, including the accountability of security forces and future laws and constitutions. >> makeshift hospitals have been set up. parliamentary elections are supposed to be in a week. many doubt that in this atmosphere that can take place. the army is determined to have the streets cleared to allow for polling. many people are equally determined to risk their lives p

emily buke -- -- lives. emily buchanan, bbc news. >> the pictures we saw are reminiscent of what we saw months ago. there must be massive frustration amongst the egyptians watching this picture. >> indeed there is. many are calling this the second revolution in egypt. these have really seen the likes of which we haven't seen for many months now in cairo, which was in tahrir square. once again people camping out there, occupying the square, protecting it against security forces. as you can see where the injured are being taken the level of violence going on between the protesters and the police.

protesters hurling stones, ripping up bits of the pavement and the police and the military police that tried to advance into the square to take it back. round about to traffic and normal life. in cairo, tear gas being used. also rubber bullets. also people with nasty injuries from rubber bullets hitting them in the eye and the chest. as we here now, more than 20 people killed according to the health minister that gives out the official figures. they are saying more than 1,700 people injured in these clashes just until tahrir square. >> thanks very much indeed. we will bring you the military statement when it happens in egypt. >> don't expect miracles. that's the warning from the new spanish prime minister from the center right popular party. the socialist was defeated this weekend. the voters frustrated by high

unemployment and a slow economy. he must show he can restore confidence, otherwise spain will need a possible bail out. the story from ma drade. >> conserves in spain are celebrating. spain's center-right popular party has won a victory in a parliamentary election dominated by the country's deep debt crisis. mariano rajoy has the majority. >> at least we will sleep in peace. >> not so the socialists. spain's out-going government has been left reeling from the huge scale of its defeat, the worst

in its history. >> we have clearly lost the elections, but we won the votes of seven million citizens at a particularly difficult time for spanish society. >> as party members watch the results come in, the news here was subdued. campaigning for re-election with five million people unemployed seemed an impossible task. >> i feel a lot of pain and sorrow to spain. i think this is really unfair. >> the cues at polling stations were slightly smaller than usual. most say spain's politicians are no more than puppets of the financial markets. the popular party knows it can't ignore those markets. they will have to move fast to convince that this country won't the next that needs a bail out. >> they have been dancing and singing. spain's popular party savoring

the moment. they know the fiesta can't go on for long here. the government faces a huge challenge to get the government going again. >> the popular party was elected promising change. now they must deliver. bbc news, madrid. >> sarah is live from madrid. what do we expect? >> we expect more austerity, deeper spending cuts, attempts to get spain's budget deficit down to that crucial 4.4% of gdp that spain committed to for next year. that's what the spanish people want to know, what the financial markets want to know. how is spain going to do that and particularly at a time when the spanish economy isn't growing? there was zero percent growth in the last quarter of last year.

what we heard as the popular party was campaigning, they are not going to raise taxes on big business here. they are not going to raise taxes further. they are going to cut taxeses to give incentives to small businesses and entrepreneurs. they think that is a way to create jobs and get the economy going here. we are also going to hear what the government will do on labor reform to help the five million spaniards out of work. for the moment, until mr. rajoy comes out and tells us what he's going to do, we don't know where the austerity axe will fall and how the government plans to create jobs. >> thank you. aaron is here with the business. the markets opening in half an hour. >> the new prime minister said, look, there are no miracles.

i never promised a miracle. the task is monumental. sarah mentioning some of them. promising to take over a country that has the highest unemployment. 21%, five million people out of work, he has to do -- pull some pretty big tricks out of that hat. take a look at the boards around the world. the markets in asia down, european markets down. they are not convinced. the interest rates that investors are forcing spain to pay has increased this morning as well. so certainly not convinced. on top of that it is a global picture, though. veesvee -- vis-a-vis a slowdown. stocks that have been relying on exports to the west have been taking a pummeling. >> and the u.s. debt also. >> absolutely. 15 trillion dollars. actually the debt level in the

u.s. surpasses $15 trillion. that is the deficit. the u.s. government spends $15 trillion a year, more than it earns in taxes. it is now 99% of the economy. we are expecting the super committee, the bipartisan committee put together in august, just -- they can't agree where to cut and what taxes to increase. if they don't agree, there is an automatic trigger that will start eating into the social welfare, the social net, also military spending. i'll have a lot more on the world business report in 20 minutes time. >> thank you. >> a special court in bangladesh set up to try leaders of war crimes facing charges of mass

murder and rain and forcibly converting people to islam. he denies the charges. what is the evidence against nuon chea? >> hundreds of thousands of people were killed and thousands of women were rained, according to estimates here. the senior leader of the army faces charges on 20 counts. he's accused of rain, murder, and forcibly converting people to islam. he denies the charges. the -- they set up the tribunal to try to come to terms with this. many people have been asking for jest justice in the last 40

years. finally they have an opportunity to see these accused people, and the tribunal will continue in the next two months. >> this trial will go on for some time, but it has taken a long time to come to this stage. why is that? >> bangladesh became an independent nation in 1971. soon after that, there were lots of political changes. a series of military coups and military governments were here for a long time. there is also a political issue. now the ruling elite last year finally managed to set up this tribunal because there were various political factions developing a different version of what happened in 19 -- 1971. but this tribunal is determined to bring this to the forefront. >> thank you very much, indeed. >> let me tell you news from

cairo. a statement has been made there will be a transfer of power by the commander of the central military district. the army saying they are still committed to the change of power. elections due in cairo next week. we'll take you to another live inquiry going on here in london into the standards of the british press. it follows scandal of the "news of the world" in the press earlier this year. you can see the mini dowler here. >> can you explain how you came to instruct him? >> it was during the trial. just before the trial we found out about milly's phone being hacked. when we were given that information, it was terribly difficult to process it.

what do you do with that information when it is in your mind? i was worried about the forthcoming trial, but also aware of what had happened, and thinking we ought to get some representation. but i was frightened of doing that because we didn't have any money for that. i didn't know quite how they were going to do that. then i found mark on the internet. i left a message, and he called straight back and said please come and see me. >> what was your objective in going to see mr. lewis. i think very much just to be in a position to respond to what would possibly become quite a public situation. how would we deal with that? because we've been given that information, but no advice as to what to do with it, but recognizing of course that it

was quite dynamite information and realize as it has come to pass, the moment they were made public, suddenly, they got very, very excited and very, yes, motivated about the whole situation. >> can i ask you a question about your legal representation. did you have the money to take legal advice? >> no, we didn't. >> how were you able to pursue this complaint against these internationals? >> when we went to see mark. i have to say it was a really difficult thing to do because it was during the trial. and it was like we've got to do this, bob, because we need someone to represent her. and we literally dragged ourselves along for that meeting. he said, you don't need to worry about the money, sally. i will represent you, come what may. then, actually, with regard -- we were able to use the c.f.a.

agreement. otherwise we wouldn't have been able to proceed. >> can i finally ask you this, we know "news of the world" settled your complaint in july of this year. and you heard my opening commissions and the opening commissions of the other side. what would you like to say to "news international" now? >> i think given the gravity of what became knowledge, the main knowledge about what happened with our phone hacking situation and the circumstances under which it took place, one would sincerely hope that news international and other media organizations would sincerely look very carefully at how they procure and obtain information about stories. because obviously the ramifications are far greater than just a novelty story in the press. >> and i think as we said when

we met him, use this as an opportunity to put things right in the future and have some decent standards and adhere to them. >> thank you very much. if you wait there, we will have some further questions. >> it is fitting that we should take this inquiry first. i would ask you first of all to deal with -- you can see the log which occurred in may of 2002. do you follow me? >> yes. >> well, we are looking at pictures from the royal courts of justice. we have just been hearing from bob and sally dowler, the first witnesses at the milly dowler trial. they are discussing what happened when they first

appointed counsel. someone depleteletted voice -mails giving false information about her -- their daughter being alive. there was great pain wh when they discovered what happened. an ongoing tragedy. she said when we learned milly's phone had been hacked, it was incredibly difficult to process that information. also talking about the gravity of what's happened that need to be investigated. so the first witnesses there at an ongoing investigation here in london into how the press operates and what standards they should in the future stick to. you are watching bbc world news. still to come, a bomb plot

suspect arrested in new york. although acting alone, he was apparently inspired by al-qaeda. >> now, the president juan manuel is trying to stop drug trafficking. demand for drugs in colombia has led to mass unrest. mr. santos has been in power less than a year, but with a booming economy, he's a popular president. >> here high in the mountains of colombia the cocoa plant and the west's drug addiction have driven war. houses clears and cartels

destroyed, but revolution groups continue to fuel unrest. president santos insists there are inroads against drugs. >> it is a problem. we recognize it. that's why we have to fight drug trafficking with all our intimidation. as long as people in u.k. sniff coke or in new york or in paris, we will suffer here. this is a problem for us of national security. this is what funds the illegal groups. >> groups like the revolutionary forces of colombia, or farc, which used to control a third of country, but are now insurgent and have been squeezed out of the country's borders. their leader was killed this month. a key victory against the group which even former rebels say is now finished as a force.

>> they have been losing the war. farc has been mill tarle and strategically defeated and now has only a small presence that can do harm. >> the colombian government may be beating the revolutionary group but is not yet winning the war on drugs. this corridor is a dangerous and violent place run by militia and mafia. until this problem can be resolved, the grand plans for the country's future are still very much under threat. the biggest challenge president santose -- santos faces is giving land back to people whose lands have been taken and addressing human rights challenges. >> another plan is to leave this country in peace. that does not depenned -- depend only on me. it depends on people who think through violent means they can achieve anything. >> colombia's economy is booming

and infrastructure is returning. but peace is still a long way off. bbc news, colombia. >> u.s. authorities say they have arrested the man described as a lone wolf and al-qaeda sympathizer who they believe is plotting to bomb targets in new york. jose pimentel, 27, originally from the dominican republic has been charged with planning terrorism and soliciting support for a terrorist attack. he has been denied bail and is in custody. >> new york mayor michael bloomberg gave details of the alleged plot. he described the al-qaeda

sympathizer. >> he was a lone wolf motivated by the presence of u.s. troops in afghanistan. he was not part of a larger conspiracy emanating from abroad. >> pimentel was arrested before he could detonate his devices. police created a duplicate to show what damage he could have caused. this is the 14th known terrorism plot against new york since 911. one of the most serious was last year when a car bomb was planted in times square. it was noticed by police when smoke was coming from the vehicle. police have been monitoring this suspect since 2009 and arrested pimentel before he could carry out his threats. >> the burmese democracy leader confirmed she will stand as a

candidate in upcoming elections. it will be the first time for her party to take part. >> libya's chief, abdul seif has been accused of playing a key role to rushing the upriding when it began in february. >> a nazi accused of killing 10 people over a decade. the german chancellor described the murders as a national disgrace and who like to know how a group known by police could have slipped under the radar. >> we'll take you to the latest pictures coming in from cairo. the egyptian army committed to a roadmap to the transfer of power. much more at the web site,
