what can we do for you? >> and now, "bbc world news. >> classes continuing cairo as protesters express their fury. hundreds and just two killed. the biting cold snap across europe leaves at least 160 dead plunging as low as minus 35 celsius. and new study suggests malaria killed a $250,000 you know what i mean 2010. welcome to "bbc world news." i'm david eades. and will the football career go away for a player awaiting remain charges. a trial.

>> hello. thanks for being with us. protesters and police in egypt have clashed. in cairo. demonstrating over the deaths of more than 70 football fans wednesday. security forces were criticized for standing back after rival forces clashed. many accused the government of involvement and they targeted the interior ministry building. hundreds of people were reported to have been injured in the course of the protest. police used live ammunition and tear gas on a crowd reportedly trying to break into a police station. two people were shot dead there. >> with a large demonstration,

this is going to include funeral prayers, so there will certainly be a heavy religious element. we have seen a lot of confrontations, important to seems no one was killed in cairo though there were two elsewhere. but what's new is the political context. you now have a democratically elected chamber which really means the ruling military council is against it so this put enormous new pressure on top. the head of the military council says. >> and that pressure presumably means the military council could go one of two ways. easy up or tighten up? >> the growing seffed that they want to hand over formal power as soon as possible even

speeding up ahead of the june presidential elections. the problem is they have not gotten down to writing a constitution yet. the military could still hand over power to the civilian advisory council but the big question is the opposition and the critics will say are they really willing to hand over real power or nominal power? in other words is the civilian administration going to be able to go in and really tackle the problems of how the police force and interior is run and will there really be a new broom which is what so many people in the country want. and the big question, who wants the task? there's no sign they are itching frankly to take over the reigns of power because there are so many tough decisions to be made. they have got to tackle that ministry and the economy and

talk about subsidies. that's the point at where the country frankly becomes ungovernible. >> now severe cold is beginning to freeze mainland europe with more than 100 deaths in the ukraine alone. snow cutting off many areas in eastern europe. more on the struggle to survive this bitter blast of winter. >> for these men, this was the only way to try to keep warm. their vehicle broke down near kiev. evidence everywhere in ukraine of the continuing severity of this big freeze across central and eastern europe. in the capital, temperatures plunging down as low as 25 celsius. that hasn't stopped fishermen from ice fishing.

and stores have begun to report food shortages. today grew crane's ministry recorded 38 new deaths taking the toll for the week to over 100 and more than 1,200 others have been treated for hype they remember yave and frost bite. hospitals are informed not to discharge the homeless even after streament treatment is finished. this unemployed villager tries to keep his home warm with his wood stove. >> it was zero degrees celsius in here and minus 35 outside. >> in this remote area another strategy for surviving the severe cold. he is breaking through the frozen earth to search for spoil from an old coal mine

nearby from 20 years ago. >> we get by pretty miserably. a bucket of coal isn't long without this we would either freeze in the house or not eat at all. >> tough winters are tougher than usual here. >> sy bierria keeps getting the blame for all this. i will be joined on set by our weather person. stay with us for that. worldwide malaria deaths may be much higher than priestley estimated crorning to a report published. scientists are saying 1.2 million people died from malaria in 2010. that sfig doubled from the previous figure from the world health organization and 42% are in children over 5 and adults. that's much higher than previously thought. sorry.

lost the graphic there for a moment. but clear anxiety there over the real figures of malaria deaths. let's move on and have a look at business. jamie is here as we hone in wins again on the jobs figures. i mean, that's been a positive trend recently in terms of creating jobs. >> not good enough. you do have to in states. you have to have 150 new jobs a month just to keep the unemployment rate steady because of the growing population and might be a little better than that this month but the manufacturing side is a positive. the loss of jobs coming from manufacturing side is becoming politically important for politics to stress manufacturing being the way of going forward.

analysts will say that's not the way to go but you're seeing a constant theme not just in u.s. but also in europe. the socialist presidential candidate has been talking a lot about getting france back into manufacturing and getting goods real jobs. politically it took quite an inspirational way of talking about jobs. >> the intangibles. seeing something at the end of the day rather than just something -- >> how many widgets can you manufacture or need. nonetheless, doesn't mean everyone who is manufacturing is doing terribly well. >> yes. panasonic lost $10 billion and sharp and sony were both making losses of there are 3 billion or $4 billion. the one of the big problems with panasonic apart from some of their logistical problems

with their manufacturing in thailand which was knocked out by some of the floods, they have a problem with the whole flat panel display screens. people are watching tv on different items. on phones and computers not on those flat screens. they are thinking the flat screen market will retract 8% or so this year. they will go through restructuring and a whole lot of loss in jobs. >> jamie, thanks a lot. to australia now where rising floodwaters have forced more than 2,000 people to evacuate their homes. rivers were swol and in the north of new south whales and also in the south of queensen land. military craft have been used to get aid to affected areas. >> at least six people were killed in a bomb attack in western colombia after another bomb blast which killed 11

wednesday. police blasme that on the largest colombia west wing group. >> and donald trump has announced his support for mitt romney. priestley it's been widely reported that mr. trump was thinking about giving his backing to mr. romney's rival, newt gingrich. in the past mr. trump has been a fierce critic of president obama. let's get some more on the weather across europe in particular. extraordinary temperatures being recorded. with me now is the weather forecast. chris nice to see you. first of all, where is it all coming from? >> well, the polar vor tex that normally keeps the cold out of the arctic has broken down a bit. that's where the real cold air has been coming from. with temperatures here much of the week overnight lows down to

minus 27 in kiev and ukraine, some of the coldest places in poland where we saw wide temperatures into the low minus 20's and even the mid minus 30's and that cold temperatures -- >> mid minus 30's, and we're reporting the number of people dying. you get caught out in this, you're in real trouble. >> question. and i think there's going to continue to be problems for the next three days or so then we start seeing the winds coming in over the atlantic. that should bring in slightly less cold air. i don't think temperatures will rise above average but we'll be looking at the minus teens and minus low 20's. >> puts things in perspective near london, right? >> yes. snow has been causing problems

as well across europe. italy and serbia. i think we could be in for real problems as we go on monday into tuesday. nasty-looking area of low pressure. bumps into that reservoir and expecting some big snow blizzards. around the balance kings and not need of anymore of that. >> well, you have warned us, chris, thank you very much indeed. >> here in the u.k. it's been announced that a senior government minister is to be prosecuted that he lied to avoid a driving ban for speeding. he denies the claims he accepted -- he talked his wife into accepting penalty points for his bad driving. he is coming under pressure to redesign. to resine. that's inevitable.

and russell is here now to catch us up on the sports news. well, it's been a topsy turvy old series and it continues that way? >> collapses pretty much the flavor of the series. it was only last saturday england chasing is 45 to beat pakistan. so pakistan with one to play, the series is theirs but on the opening day of the final day in due buy, they have now been bold back for 99 by england and it was the seam bowler that did most of the damage. four wick etc. and three for james anderson. they use swing and seam effectively on this wicket. an expert the players thought would be a very, very good one for bassing and another made 45 who really kept pakistan from recording their lowest-ever score against england. but 99 out.

>> not a great start. it is i supposed fair to say when you're 2-1 you know the series is in the bag and in fact the number one side in the world licking wounds is not entirely surprising. >> it's always hard when you've won the series, it's a bit of a dead rubber. but if they win this match there's no way south africa can replace them by winning their series against new zealand comprehensively and some of their players are under threat with the tour of sri lanka coming up. and the england captain strauss hasn't supreme court runs either. >> thanks for being with us here on "bbc world news." plenty more still to come including, well, that is a super giant pod or to you a prawn a massive one. we'll have more.

>> stories making headlines. the story on the front page of the south china morning post which appears to show some hope for the future of cash-strapped europe with the news that china may be ready to extend a helping hand after meeting with angela merkel. the president said he was considering a deeper involvement in solving the european debt crisis. now for the story dominating the front of the financial times. this is, well, mergers, this is a big one. the world's biggest commodities trading company talking with the mining company xstrata. they say if these talks succeed it will create an $88 billion trading commodities trading giant. and the newspaper reporting prime minister david cameron

under pressure to stop further huge payouts. >> you're watching "bbc world news." i'm david eades. the headlines this hour, clashes have continued in cairo has protesters vent their fury after the football deaths. two have been killed. more than 100 people in ukraine have died as ice grips europe. the bbc understands the english football association is set to remove the england captaincy from the chelsea player. he is expected to tell the manager that terry should still be available for selection as a player but the defender should not leave the team again until the conclusion of his trial for abuse. now joining us from wembley is

dan. do you think the f.a.'s mind is made up? >> it certainly looks that way. we know that the f.h.m. bernstein is meeting john terry this morning. at an undisclosed location. the signs are ominous for the england captain and all the cases are that the f.a. board, the main decision making body of the national sports governing body has decided that now the trial that john terry has to undergo has been adjourned until the beginning of july. the 9th of july in fact and it's simply the case that this can't be allowed to hang over him and english football he's found to abuse the brother of a teammate in a racial way. there were so many problems this throws up. the relationship with his

players and the relationship with the fans, you will remember the f.a. condemned the president quite recently for his remarks about racism in football. and for all of these reasons, the indication is that the f.a. have included he cannot be able to continue and john terry has to be suspended. we expect announcements around lunchtime and expect that he will step down as captain but will still be allowed to play on. >> i imagine the best thing for the f.a. would be for terry to say given the circumstances for the good of england, for all, i will stand down. >> i can tell you he won't do that. sources close to terry say he is pretty defind and believes he is innocent and looks forward to clearing his name and in many walks of life, of course, given the seriousness

of the allegations and the charges, somebody accused of that would be suspended pending the outcome of the legal process. football is slightly different. the f.a. when the charges were first brought decided they would back terry. one said innocent until proven guilty. and said i don't see why he should not continue but now it appears the trial has been adjourned for such a long time. the f.a. -- imagine if a player were racially abused in the ukraine, what would the f.a. do? complain to fifa that the national captain is still playing with this hanging over his head? >> we will await that announcement. >> deep mid winter, the worst time to find yourself homeless.

greece that is an increasingly economic reality as hardship bites ever deeper. >> day-by-day, the queues grow longer, victims of greece's economic collapse. they go without shelter and without food. visit os to this soup kitchen have increased by a quarter in the last month. a threatened terms a new homeless. >> they are people who last year had a good car and nice land and now they have nothing. so it's kind of misery here. it's not a poverty. we were not psychologically prepared to see this kind of poverty, but it exists. >> vicky lost her job as a journalist and now is unable to feed herself and her kids. >> i had dreams, and when you come here, the dreams is out from yourself. you must accept the reality.

and the reality is very difficult. >> greece is slowly waking up to that reality. an estimated 25% increase in homelessness in the past two years as recession and austerity bite and as the country shivers in the depth of winter, the homeless are the hardest hit. >> it shows how perilous the situation for homeless is coming as unemployment soars to almost 20%, there's now a growing humanitarian crisis in greece as well as an economic one. >> even those not accustomed to homeless life are finding it hard to cope. >> 82-year-old man stays last few days have dropped below freezing and it's an intense cold and it's hard sleeping outside but where can i go? my leg is too good move.

as nightfalls, this red cross team is on special shift for the cold snap. handing out supplies. winter is marching on and so is greece's economic crisis. it is a toxic mix for those left to suffer. >> demonstrations taking place outside the industry of be when nose air rizz as tensions rise around 50 people marched to the diplomatic compound shouting slogans, burning union flags. tensions have been rising as britain announced it was send sending a warship to the islands and prince william is -- the anniversary coinciding with the release of a film "the iron lady" about margaret thatcher, in argentine cinemas

tells of mrs. thatcher including a scene of her handling of the war. well,speaking of brussels, the u.k. denied the deployment of prince williams himself to the islands was provocation. >> he's there as a search and rescue pilot. that's a humanitarian function and all the u.k. and naval and air force search and rescue pilots do a stint there and prince william is doing his stint there now. >> he is a member of the royal family. >> he's a pilot and dining normal tour of duty. >> now to a unique exhibition which just hoped in london showing works of art painted by chimps, gorillas and elephants. it's not just are they good.

are they art? we have a look. >> so here it is, a new exhibition and that, a plant. we can see the leaves here, stems, flowers. and it was done by an elephant. ♪ >> yes. that's a trunk. an elephant painted it with a little guidance by its ear. >> the elephant's holding the paint brush in its trunk and the handler is more like a joy stick. just hugging slightly in different directions. >> so the elephant can philley the enforcement its ear and do this. >> it's an amazing sort of show. shows how dexterous an elephant is. >> this was painted by gentleman kari, a chimp. the exhibition is taking place

in the grant miami of in the grant museum of zooology and if we accept the squigals and drips made by humans as art, then why not this? and these ape artists seem to enjoy painting and certainly let you know when they have had enough. it's certainly not new. congo the painting chimp was a teeny star. there used to be a joke that a chimp could do it. congo's work recently sold at auction for $25,000. >> well, we're going to continue the theme with animal magic. imagine having a barbecue then this. it's an absolute monster. this is a giant prawn. they are calling it a super giant an that pod found in the trents deep at the bottom of

the sea in new zealand. scientists think it's as big a prawn as they have ever found. who would argue with them? >> make sense of international news at bbc.com/news. funding was made possible by the freeman foundation of new york, stowe, vermont, and honolulu. newman's own foundation. and union bank. at union bank our relationship managers work hard to understand the industry you operate in. working to nurture new ventures and help provide capital for key strategic decisions. we offer expertise and tailored solutions in a wide range of
