5 secret nato report seen by the "bbc world news" says pakistan intelligence forces are intimately involved with table and supporting them. and points to a link between the table and the avenue began security and it was based on intelligence gleaned from thousands of captured al qaeda and table operatives. pakistan says it is committed to non-interneerns pakistan but the document has brought that commitment into question once again. >> yes. very, very strong allegations in this report. not just material support. for the table. across the border but also specifics about where senior members of the afghan table and their relatives might be living

right next to the intelligence agencies and there's one line in that report that talks about relative of the hakani network a wing of the table livering right next to the offices right near islamabad but as you said the government here basically brushed off these allegations and they will undoubtedly claim the intelligence is flawed in this report, but as you say, it's looking more and more to the outside world that their claim of non-interference in afghanistan is simply a lie. >> we've sort of been here before, haven't we? >> what is the sense of the people in pakistan? do they feel that the intelligence services do work closely with the table? -- with the taliban? >> i think there's some recognition from the public

that there is this going on and particularly in the instance of the raid in which osama bin laden was killed. pakistan has found itself having to defend itself again and again but this has caused animosity towards the west with all this pressure being heaped on them. and pakistan has already stopped supply trout coalition forces in afghanistan and thinking about redrawing its terms of engagement with the west and every time something like this comes up, there's more of a clamor within the world and government that perhaps it's time for pakistan to cut its ties with the west completely. so we'll see if this pushes pga pac past or it says it's cooperating as much as it can or perhaps when this pressure will lead to more tension

between pakistan and the west. >> well, a former advisor to the afghan government says he believes the report does largely reflect the truth and that they need work to tackle the taliban. >> they are winning the hearts minds through intimidating people. and that those afghan government needs to do much more as well as the international community to protect the people from the acts of the taliban. i want to be nention other thing that's now the issue for the afghanistan future but the taliban and al qaeda and islamic movements of uzbekistan are being supported directly by them carrying the out the killing of afghan tribal leaders. that's gaining strength and

actually that is now another significant issue that the afghan government and international community needs to be careful how to fight the future ways of the insecurity and also the access of the foreigners to get into the people of afghanistan. utilize them against the afghan government and afghan and international security forces. >> mitt romney has regained the mantle of clear frontrunner for the republican party to challenge barack obama. in the primary he polled 47 % of the vote easily beating his rival newt gingrich who received 32%. we have this report from the campaign trail. >> that's not just excitement on the faces of mitt romney's supporters. it's relief. his campaign is back on track and will once again be seen as

the frontrunner. he's behaving as though he's already the republican delegate. >> tomas pain was told to have said lead, follow or get out of the way. president obama, you have chosen to follow rather than lead and now it's time for you to get out of the way. >> 13,000 intensely negative tv ads attacking his opponent. gingrich was crushed but as the signs say he plans to fight on in all the internal party elections yet to come. >> i just want to reassure them tonight, we are going to contest every place and win and we will be in tampa as the nominee in august. >> mitt's campaign tends to

prove the sort of advice that strategists like to give in private that money matters and going negative works. this race has got a long way to go and it's unlikely to get any cheaper or friendlier. >> now let's have a look at some of the business news. this is going to be a big day. a big facebook day, certainly. >> yes. actual shares thought to be sold. what happens is i.p.o. finally would be the u.s. authorities say how much they are going to put up for sale as far as what it's prospects are and what it's going to do for cash. >> how they are going to sell the shares. this is what might come out today, because they like to be more of a maverick along the lines of a classic tech company and perhaps he might be

thinking of giving facebook news as perhaps more shares than perhaps more hired in retail shares normally 0% of the shares go to the big banks and pension and hedge funds. he might be ready to change that. and actually, we don't know for sure it's going to come out today. >> so facebook is nothing without the facebook. of course portugal. >> yes. it's just short-term bonds and we've seen the yields push these bonds zoom up to about 707. that means borrowing costs are getting more and more expensive. if it does rise,ing in fact borrowing costs does rise. f they try to borrow money in the market, they might go the way of greece. >> and also another story that's just breaking at the moment. e.u. antitrust regulations have

blocked the merger of the euro stock exchange next. >> thank you jamie. >> the u.n. security council is deciding whether or not to adopt resolution promoted by the arab league and backed by the western league calling for president asod to hand power over to a deputy. russia stays plan amounts to a forced regime change and could lead to a civil war. >> when the foreign minister decide to take the place it's to make a political point so hillary clinton urged the international community to put aside their differences and -- >> stat end of the day, every member of that security council has choice to make. if you do not choose to try to stand on the side of the syrian people, then you are standing

on the side of the continuing killing and abuses that are carried out every single day. >> william hague stayed plan was credible and viable and calls on president assad to surrender power. >> we have between 30-100 people being killed violently every day and the torture and abuse of huge numbers of people, including children. the arab league are putting forward a plan for a peaceful resolution. >> problem is that russia still rejects this entire approach. >> we have to be careful in that we need to move this process ahead in a very deliberate, determined, but careful way. >> russia's foreign minister was not here in new york. in australia he said russian policy was not about regime change. earths to persuade russia not to draft the resolution, they

may not -- a leaked report by the head of the arab monitor commission says some monitors weren't called and some weren't properly equipped and others thought it would be a pleasure trip. bbc the united nations. >> i was going to say business news but it's sport. >> the end of the transfer window. >> it closed on tuesday night perhaps without as much excitement as we've seen in priest years. much of the spending as often is the past, done in the premiere league. wanting to prop up the window between them. the former french striker, louie, was one of the surprise moves. he went from -- to spurs for about 18 months, a short-term contract. he's been injury prone over the years. that opened up to the lynx and

their striker. $12.5 million. everton remaced that. 2 crow weigh striker. that was about $.5 million. $8.5 million. >> and all these clubs are having to think about what they call financial fair player, haven't today? >> yes efment they have to try to balance the books a little bit or they may face sanctions. although we rem don't know what the sanctions are. lit effect clubs like manchester city. they took one player. spending against their income over the next few years to try to level the plague field so clubs like united and sydney can't just keep buying the best players. >> and nobody would meet their

evaluation of him somewhere in the region of $40 million. so they continue to have a talented player who is not going to help them out this season. looks like he'll move into summer ac milan. >> thank you for watching "bbc world news." i'm david eades. plenty more still to come including a brain wave break through, scientists work on how to pick up the sound of people's thoughts. we'll explain. going to take a look now at the stories making headlines in newspapers around the world. we're going to start here in the u.k. the story dominating the front page sincere fred goodwin the former -- being stripped of his knighthood because of the the collapse of the royal bank of scotland. and >> the indian government named

and here's a story. scientists in the united states say they have taken first steps towards decoding brain waves and translating them into words. using a computer program to decode complex electrical signals, the research could just allow cross the hear the imagined speech of patients unable to speak due to stroke or paralysis. >> seems like an extraordinary development. explain all this? sounds impossible. >> well, it does. but we're kind of getting further along with being able to detect brain signals. what's been done is something fairly invasive. there were 15 patients undergoing surgery for other diseases and played a number of sentences and words and signals and read the whole anyone reverse, simply asked those patients to think of the words

and turned that back into soupped and it's remarkably close to the sounds they heard. >> it's in itself extraordinary. can we extrap late that it will be able to work out what we're thinking? >> well, there's no need go out and buy a tinfoil hat. this is requires a willing participate and it's certainly a potential clinical use. i don't think it's going to be a c.i.a. trick. >> nonetheless the ethical potential consequences could be huge, i guess. >> well, again, it all requires someone who is willing to play along, and at the moment, because signals you can get directly from the brain are different from the head bands and toys we can use to use our thought to you run things, this is a much more invasive and much more requiring a lot more

are a vicktorian invention, it's closer to norway than the other plays and -- >> the heritage going back to 1469 when we became scottish before that, we were very much a part of the viking 'em pifere and this reflects the dialect and our first names and our links with scanned naveya. >> stronger voice and of stam in a it takes at least 16 years to become the viking chiefdom. it is an honor and taken seriously, as the scores of men he leads them to a fiery grave. >> and the boat which took months build goes into flames in a matter of minutes and still the celebration is not over, the party will go on until dawn.

they have policy to handle and infrastructure. so it is our duty as entrepreneurs. call it a social investment or philanthropic. but i think what it also addresses is actually the long-term sustainability of this country. >> this is where some of the money he raises goes. with $100 loan from his charity she sells hot dogs and fried snacks to children in her neighborhood. before the loan she was barely able to feed her family. >> the government only provides free public schooling until middle school. we couldn't afford to send our daughter. so she had to drop out. with the loan i got the money to set up this business and my daughter gets to go to school set up by the charity. >> but these children are the exception. the government is trying. in the last decade it has
