Yemen PM survives assassination bid

31 August 2013 Last updated at 17:32 ET

Yemeni Prime Minister Mohammed Salem Basindwa has survived an assassination attempt unharmed, officials in the capital Sanaa say.

Gunmen in a vehicle opened fire on the PM's motorcade as he returned home from his office, one of his advisers said.

It is the first time Mr Basindwa has come under attack, the AFP news agency says, although other members of his cabinet have previously been targeted.

The government is battling militants of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.

A senior intelligence officer was killed by suspected militants in southern Labous province late on Friday.

Mr Basindwa was a senior opposition figure before being appointed in November 2011 to head the government set up after veteran leader President Ali Abdullah Saleh left power.

One of his aides, Ali al-Sarari, told Reuters news agency security forces were trying to track down the vehicle used in the attack.

Earlier this month, the US and several other Western countries temporarily shut their embassies in Sanaa after reports of an imminent al-Qaeda attack.

New UK chief rabbi to be installed

Chief Rabbi designate Ephraim Mirvis says he knows there will be challenges

Ephraim Mirvis is due to be installed as the new chief rabbi of the UK and Commonwealth at a ceremony in London.

The former chief rabbi of Ireland will succeed Lord Jonathan Sacks, who has held the post since 1991.

The Prince of Wales is due to join Jewish and other faith leaders for the event at St John's Wood Synagogue.

The chief rabbi is traditionally seen as the figurehead of British Jews, and Rabbi Mirvis has said reversing falling membership was a key challenge.

However, his new role is only officially representative of the United Synagogue, the biggest wing of orthodox Judaism in the UK.

Some Liberal and Reform Jews have questioned his role, while the ultra-orthodox community looks elsewhere for religious authority.

'Hand of warmth'

Continue reading the main story

• Ephraim Mirvis replaces Lord Jonathan Sacks to become the 11th Chief Rabbi of Britain and the United Hebrew Congregations of the Commonwealth
• The son and grandson of rabbis, he was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, in 1956
• He became the Chief Rabbi of Ireland at the age of 28
• He was the first rabbi from the United Synagogue to welcome an imam in his synagogue

In a BBC interview ahead of taking up the role, Rabbi Mirvis said: "As the incoming chief rabbi I extend a hand of warmth, of friendship, to my colleagues who are in movements outside of the orthodox movement and with all of their members.

"I would like them to know that I would like to work closely with them. Unity of the Jewish people is of enormous importance.

"Within our own ranks we need to build on that which unites us and not to concentrate so much on that which separates us. And I will do my utmost to ensure that we will indeed achieve that unity."

He has also said that he would like to "transform communities" so that synagogues "are not merely places where people come along to pray, but rather that they should be powerhouses of Jewish cultural social educational and religious activity".

Rabbi Mirvis, who was born in South Africa in 1956, is currently rabbi at Finchley Synagogue in north London.

He is married to Valerie, a local authority senior social worker, and they have four sons. Their daughter, Liora Graham, died in 2011 after a long battle with cancer.

Rabbi Mirvis was a rabbi in Dublin before becoming Ireland's chief rabbi in 1985, a post he held until 1992. He was chosen as the new chief rabbi after a two-year search.

Vigilantes 'killed by Boko Haram'

31 August 2013 Last updated at 21:02 ET

Suspected Boko Haram fighters have killed at least 24 members of a vigilante group in north-eastern Nigeria, security officials say.

They say another 34 people are missing after the attack near the town of Monguno in Borno state.

The officials said militants wearing army uniforms ambushed more than 100 vigilantes on Friday.

Attacks have increased recently despite a massive military deployment to areas worst affected by Islamist militants.

Nigeria's army recently said it had killed Boko Haram's leader Abubakar Shekau but this has not been confirmed.

The military has encouraged the formation of vigilante groups to help tackle the Islamists.

Revenge attacks

The militants attacked the vigilante youths on the outskirts of Monguno, about 160km (100 miles) north-east of the state capital Maiduguri, where Boko Haram was formed in 2009.

The vigilante youths had been on a mission to capture Boko Haram militants in their camps when they were ambushed, the Sunday Tribune reports.

The vigilantes had originally arranged to go with the army but after some hours of waiting for the soldiers to arrive they moved in by themselves.

They were ambushed by militants who "had disguised in military uniforms with three captured patrol vehicles of the security agencies", sources told the paper.

There are fears that the death toll could rise further.

Boko Haram has waged a deadly insurgency in Nigeria since 2009, which has left several thousand dead.

In May, President Goodluck Jonathan declared an emergency in three north-eastern states, including Borno, saying the group threatened Nigeria's existence.

An offensive was launched against the group - which says it is fighting for the creation of an Islamic state in Nigeria - and the military encouraged the formation of vigilante groups to help.

But now it appears Boko Haram is taking revenge against such groups, say observers - adding weight to fears that the vigilante groups may trigger an escalation of the violence.

Last week, at least 20 vigilantes were killed in two separate attacks in Borno.

PM supports Obama's stance on Syria

1 September 2013 Last updated at 04:19 ET

David Cameron has given his support for Barack Obama over Syria after the US president said he would ask Congress to vote on military strike action.

In a tweet, the prime minister said: "I understand and support Barack Obama's position on #Syria."

Former Lib Dem leader Lord Ashdown said the UK could now "reconsider" its decision to not intervene.

It comes after MPs blocked a motion to support military action if backed by evidence from UN weapons inspectors.

The defeat of the government's motion on Thursday came as a surprise and led Chancellor George Osborne to say there would now be "national soul searching" about Britain's role in the world.

The prime minister had pushed for military action following the suspected chemical weapons attack on 21 August. The US says it killed 1,429 people and was carried out by the Syrian government.

It is a claim that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad denies.

Analysis

There has been a lot of talk about what the vote in the Commons the other day might mean for the UK's relationship with America, the so-called "Special Relationship".

Some were pronouncing it dead and suggesting the vote meant the UK would become a third rate irrelevance in international affairs.

But President Obama's announcement on Saturday night, and his specific reference to what had happened here, suggests Westminster's collective instinct influenced what happened in Washington.

The former Liberal Democrat leader Lord Ashdown said the President's decision opened up all sorts of new possibilities, including that the UK parliament could reconsider its position.

There is no suggestion of that from the government, but ministers are sure to be asked whether there could be another vote, and the opposition will be asked what line they would take if such a vote took place.

It all poses another interesting question for David Cameron.

Could he have spared himself all the egg on his face associated with a Commons defeat by just taking his time, given it now looks like America isn't rushing after all?

President Obama had previously said that the use of chemical weapons would represent a "red line" that would change his thinking about intervening in a conflict in which more than 100,000 people have died.

UN inspectors investigating the attacks arrived in the Netherlands on Saturday with samples from site visits, which will be tested in laboratories in Europe.

'Closest ally'

President Obama said in his speech on Saturday that he had decided the US should take military action against the Syrian regime, but said he would formally ask congress to authorise military action.

He said he was "confident" that the US government had made a case for military action without the need to wait for the United Nations inspectors to compile their report.

He added he was comfortable going forward without the support of the UN Security Council "that, so far, has been completely paralysed and unwilling to hold Assad accountable.

"As a consequence, many people have advised against taking this decision to Congress, and undoubtedly they were impacted by what we saw happen in the United Kingdom this week when the Parliament of our closest ally failed to pass a resolution with a similar goal, even as the prime minister supported taking action.

"Yet, while I believe I have the authority to carry out this action without specific congressional authorisation I know that the country will be stronger if we take this course and our actions will be even more effective."

UK Foreign Secretary William Hague tweeted that President Obama's address was a "fine speech".

And Lord Ashdown said: "This was a brave and principled act from a brave and principled president.

"It opens up all sorts of different new possibilities, one of which is the UK Parliament certainly could reconsider its position."

Lord Ashdown had been critical of the decision to not take military action in Syria in the aftermath of the vote, saying the UK was "hugely diminished".

Writing in the Observer on Sunday, he said the result of Thursday's vote had "made it more difficult for Barack Obama to act".

Labour leader Ed Miliband has not commented on the president's speech, but has previously said he does not believe that the House of Commons vote means the UK cannot make a difference to "innocent civilians" in Syria.

'Pause for thought'

The White House has now sent draft legislation to Congress formally asking for approval to use military force in Syria to "deter, disrupt, prevent and degrade" the potential for further chemical attacks.

Paddy Ashdown on President Obama's decision

Although the president acknowledged that US military chiefs stood ready to act, his pledge to wait for a vote effectively rules out intervention until Congress returns to session on 9 September.

Russian President Vladimir Putin - an ally of Syria - has challenged the US to present its case for military intervention to the UN, and has called for further talks at the G20 summit in St Petersburg on Thursday.

Russia has previously warned that "any unilateral military action bypassing the UN Security Council" would be a "direct violation of international law".

The five permanent members of the UN Security Council - Russia, China, the US, UK and France - have been divided on taking action in Syria.

Meanwhile, former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair said the Commons vote - although "shocking" - was "understandable" given that intervention in Iraq and Afghanistan had been "far more perilous and difficult than we expected".

People fear that "we will end up in a 'quagmire'" in Syria, he said in the Sunday Times.

But he added the conflict in Syria was "crucial to our security" and warned that Britain would have to take sides sooner or later.

The BBC's security correspondent Frank Gardner examines what we know about the Syria attack on 21 August

"Intervention can be uncertain, expensive and bloody. But history has taught us that inaction can merely postpone the reckoning," he said.

More than 100,000 people are estimated to have died and at least 1.7 million refugees displaced since civil conflict erupted in Syria in March 2011.

The violence began when Syrian security forces clamped down on anti-government protests.

President Assad blames opposition forces for last week's attack and has said his country will defend itself against any Western "aggression".

Forces which could be used against Syria:

• Four US destroyers - USS Gravely, USS Ramage, USS Barry and USS Mahan - are in the eastern Mediterranean, equipped with cruise missiles. The missiles can also be fired from submarines, but the US Navy does not reveal their locations

• Airbases at Incirlik and Izmir in Turkey, and in Jordan, could be used to carry out strikes

• Two aircraft carriers - USS Nimitz and USS Harry S Truman are in the wider region

• French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle is currently in Toulon in the western Mediterranean

• French Rafale and Mirage aircraft can also operate from Al-Dhahra airbase in the UAE

UK is 'addictions capital of Europe'

1 September 2013 Last updated at 05:39 ET

The UK has become the drug and alcohol "addictions capital of Europe", a think tank has warned.

The Centre for Social Justice - set up by Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith - said drink and drug abuse cost the UK £36bn a year.

Its report warned that the UK has become a hub for websites peddling potentially dangerous "legal highs".

The CSJ also criticised the government for failing to tackle heroin addiction and cheaply available alcohol.

The report, No Quick Fix, found that last year 52 people in England and Wales died after taking legal highs, up from 28 the previous year.

The substances, sometimes referred to as club drugs and including Salvia and Green Rolex, are often marketed as bath salts or research chemicals.

But the drugs can be sold legally as long as they are clearly marked "not for human consumption", but have been known to cause permanent bladder damage, blood poisoning and death.

According to the Centre for Social Justice (CSJ), there are now more than 130 UK-registered websites selling the products cheaply by mail order - making postal service workers unwitting drug mules.

'Faster bans needed'

The think tank said one in 12 young people in the UK admitted to having taken legal highs - the highest figure in Europe.

Much more needs to be done to tackle the root causes of addiction so that people have a better chance of breaking free."

End Quote Noreen Oliver Chairwoman, CSJ review

It said a faster system of prohibition was needed to deal with legal highs, as 150 new substances have come on to the market in the last three years, while the government has managed to ban just 15 in the same period.

The report also attacked a failure to offer heroin addicts effective treatment.

A Freedom of Information inquiry found that 55% of councils in England have had funding for residential treatment cut since the coalition came to power, despite Prime Minister David Cameron pushing for more residential programmes.

North/South divide

The report said that almost a third of people in England on drug-substitute prescriptions such as methadone have been on them for four or more years, and one in 25 for more than 10 years.

The CSJ found alcohol dependence among British men was second in western Europe and seventh overall, while alcohol dependence among women is higher in the UK than anywhere in Europe.

One in four adults in England drank to harmful levels, and one in 20 were "dependent drinkers", it said.

The report also found a stark north-south divide in the problem of alcohol abuse, with 26 of the 30 local authorities with the highest rate of alcohol-related admissions in the north of the country.

The CSJ said the government had recognised the dangers of excessive drinking, but criticised its failure to tackle cheap alcohol through minimum unit pricing or a "treatment tax", with revenue put into treatment for addicts.

'Faster on its feet'

Noreen Oliver, chairwoman of the CSJ review, said: "Despite some slow progress in this last three years, much more needs to be done to tackle the root causes of addiction so that people have a better chance of breaking free.

"Alcohol is taking an increasing toll across all services in the UK and new emerging drugs are causing more harm - all the while funding to rehabilitation centres is being dramatically cut and methadone prescribing is being protected."

Crime Prevention Minister Jeremy Browne said the government took the threat of legal highs seriously, describing them as "highs which should not be assumed to be either safe or legal".

"Our Forensic Early Warning System enables us to closely monitor their availability, so we can target activity to reduce demand and supply.

"We are banning whole groups of substances rather than individual drugs and have introduced temporary drug orders which allow us to place harmful substances under control - protecting the public while giving time to our independent experts to prepare more detailed advice."

Nelson Mandela leaves hospital

Nelson Mandela arriving at his home in Johannesburg

Nelson Mandela has left hospital and has gone to his Johannesburg home, where he is continuing to receive intensive care, the South African presidency says on its website.

The announcement came a day after officials denied reports that the 95-year-old had already been discharged.

The statement says Mr Mandela condition remains critical and at time unstable.

South Africa's first democratically elected president has been in hospital since June with a lung infection.

"His team of doctors are convinced that he will receive the same level of intensive care at his Houghton home that he received in Pretoria [hospital]," the presidency statement says.

It says his home in the upmarket suburb of Houghton has been "reconfigured to allow him to receive intensive care there" and he will be treated by the same health care personnel who have been looking after him since 8 June.

If necessary, he will be readmitted to hospital, the statement says.

Johannesburg is about 55km (34 miles) south of South Africa's capital, Pretoria.

On Saturday, sources close to Mr Mandela told the BBC and other international media that he had already returned home.

This was denied by South Africa's presidency, which handles all communications about the former leader's health.

Mr Mandela's lung condition is said to result from the tuberculosis he contracted during the 27 years he spent in prison for taking up arms against white minority rule.

He became president after 1994 elections - the first time black South Africans were allowed to vote - and stepped down five years later.

The Nobel Peace Prize laureate has been widely acclaimed for preaching reconciliation with South Africa's white community.

While he was in prison, there was a massive international campaign calling for Mr Mandela's release.

Chancellor defends Syria vote timing

1 September 2013 Last updated at 05:47 ET

More evidence about a suspected chemical attack would not have made a difference to MPs' decision to vote against military action in Syria, the chancellor has said.

George Osborne told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show MPs were "sceptical of another foreign entanglement".

Despite the defeat, he said the government had shown confidence to take its argument to Parliament.

It comes as US President Barack Obama said he would seek Congress's approval.

Mr Obama said on Saturday he had decided the US should take military action against the Syrian regime, but that he would formally ask Congress to authorise military action.

'Parliament has spoken'

Prime Minister David Cameron had pushed for military action following the suspected chemical weapons attack on 21 August on the outskirts of Damascus.

The US says it killed 1,429 people and was carried out by the Syrian government.

It is a claim that Syria's President Bashar al-Assad denies.

On Thursday, MPs blocked a motion to support military action if backed by evidence from UN weapons inspectors who, having left Damascus, arrived in the Netherlands on Sunday.

Their evidence, which includes samples from site visits will be tested in laboratories in Europe.

Mr Osborne said that waiting for more evidence would not have made a difference to the MPs' decision.

"They were sceptical of another foreign entanglement," he said.

"I understand their argument, I don't agree with it, and I don't feel frankly more evidence or another week or more UN reports would have convinced them."

Mr Osborne also indicated that the prime minister would not make a renewed attempt to persuade MPs to support military action even if there were fresh chemical weapons attacks or if new evidence emerged.

"Of course I wanted us to be part of a potential military response. Now that is just not going to be open to us now because the House of Commons has spoken," he said.

Mr Osborne denied that he and the prime minister had made a miscalculation by taking the vote to Parliament.

"Trying to get the consent of both your parliament and the public for a very difficult decision - in this case to deter the use of chemical weapons - but taken in the shadow of Iraq and a public war weariness, I think shows a confidence that you are prepared to make your argument."

Man dies on North Sea diving trip

30 August 2013 Last updated at 16:35 ET

A man has died and another was injured on a diving trip in the North Sea off the Norfolk coast.

Seven people were thought to be on the boat during a dive which police described as "recreational rather than industrial".

Police met the dive boat as it returned to Hamilton Dock in Lowestoft, Suffolk.

One of the divers was airlifted to the James Paget Hospital at Gorleston at 15:30 BST but he died. His death is being treated as "unexplained".

A lifeboat brought a second diver ashore at Gorleston and he was also taken to the hospital.

Police, working with the coastguard and the Health and Safety Executive, said an investigation is under way.

Obama 'respects' PM's Syria approach

30 August 2013 Last updated at 18:23 ET

US President Barack Obama has said he fully respects David Cameron's approach after Parliament blocked UK involvement in possible military action in Syria.

The men spoke by phone for 15 minutes, and the tone of the conversation was said to be friendly.

The UK prime minister reiterated he still wanted a strong response to the suspected chemical weapons attack.

According to Downing Street, Mr Obama said he had not yet decided what action the US would take over Syria.

A Downing Street spokesman said: "The prime minister made clear that he strongly believes in the need for a tough and robust response to the appalling war crime committed by the Assad regime in Ghouta.

"The PM explained that he wanted to build a consensual approach in Britain for our response and that the government had accepted the clear view of the House against British military action.

"President Obama said he fully respected the PM's approach and that he had not yet taken a decision on the US response."

Foreign Secretary William Hague said US Secretary of State John Kerry had thanked him for the UK's "steadfast friendship", and they were united on ending the Syria conflict and use of chemical weapons.

The White House believes President Bashar al-Assad's regime was responsible for the chemical attack on 21 August which it says killed 1,429 people in the Ghouta suburb of Damascus - a figure far higher than previously reported.

"We know rockets came only from regime-controlled areas and landed only in opposition-held areas," Mr Kerry said earlier.

"All of these things we know, the American intelligence community has high confidence."

Ministers ruled out British involvement in any military action on Thursday evening after MPs blocked a government motion which called for military action if it was backed up by evidence from the UN weapons inspectors.

Despite the result of the vote, the US said it would continue to seek a coalition for military intervention, while France said the vote did not change its resolve about the need to act.

The president and prime minister agreed the US and UK would work closely together on a wider response to the Syrian crisis and try to find a solution.

Russia - which has close ties with the the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad - welcomed the UK's rejection of a military strike, while Germany has ruled out participation in any action.

'Whole region' threatened

Meanwhile, Number 10 said it was "not too worried" by the absence of the UK from a roll call of allies in Mr Kerry's speech earlier.

Mr Kerry made a point of describing France as America's "oldest ally" while not mentioning the UK.

A Downing Street spokesman said: "The president stressed his appreciation of his strong friendship with the prime minister and of the strength, durability and depth of the special relationship between our two countries. They agreed that their co-operation on international issues would continue in the future."

Mr Cameron said in an interview on Friday it was a "regret" that he had been unable to build a consensus on the response to the suspected chemical weapons attack.

However, he insisted the UK remained "deeply engaged" on the world stage.

Ian Pannell: The victims "arrived like the walking dead"

The inspectors have finished their investigation and are expected to deliver their preliminary findings to UN secretary general Ban Ki-moon on Saturday.

Meanwhile in Syria, the BBC's Middle East editor Jeremy Bowen said he had spoken to people inside President Assad's administration who were "cock-a-hoop" at the UK vote. "They believe it counts as a victory for them," he added.

"We will defend ourselves," Dr Bassam Abu Abdullah from the Syrian Information Ministry said, warning of danger "not only on the Syrian people but... the whole region" if the US decided to attack.

But Mr Cameron vowed to "continue to take a case to the United Nations", adding: "We will continue to work in all the organisations we are members of - whether the EU, or Nato, or the G8 or the G20 - to condemn what's happened in Syria.

"It's important we uphold the international taboo on the use of chemical weapons."

There had been suggestions from ministers, including Defence Secretary Phillip Hammond, that Britain's rejection of military action would harm its relationship with the US.

Mr Hammond warned against the vote allowing Britain to "turn into a country that prefers to turn its back".

"We must stay engaged with the world," he told the BBC.

In other developments:

• The BBC witnessed the aftermath of an incendiary bomb attack on a school playground in northern Syria which left scores of children with napalm-like burns
• The US said it would act in its "best interests" in dealing with the Syria crisis, following UK rejection of military intervention
• French President Francois Hollande said all options were being considered, and has not ruled out a strike within days
• UN weapons inspectors visited a hospital in a government-controlled area of Damascus
• The Foreign Office advised against all but essential travel to Lebanon because of a "heightened risk of anti-Western sentiment" linked to the possibility of military action in Syria. The BBC understands that the families of British diplomats are being evacuated
• Former Australian foreign minister Gareth Evans - architect of the so-called "responsibility to protect" doctrine - accused the UK of "making things up as it goes along". He blamed the government's "mishandling of the politics" for what he said was a "disappointing" vote against intervention
• The Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said there was "no doubt" President Assad's forces carried out the chemical attack

Labour leader Ed Miliband told the BBC: "I think ill thought-through military action would have made life worse, not better, for the Syrian people."

He accused the government of not learning the lessons of Iraq, adding MPs had "sent a message" that British forces would not be deployed "without going through the United Nations and without ensuring we have regard to the consequences in the region".

Earlier he said Mr Cameron was guilty of "reckless and impulsive leadership".

And the prime minister faced criticism from his own side, with former shadow home secretary David Davis accusing him of making a "shaky argument" for intervention.

"There was feeling of rushing to action," he told BBC Radio 4's World at One programme. "It's more important to get this right than to do it on a 10-day timetable".

Former Liberal Democrat leader Lord Ashdown has been critical of the decision to not take part in military action, saying the UK was "hugely diminished".

More than 100,000 people are estimated to have died since the conflict erupted in March 2011 and at least 1.7 million refugees displaced.

The violence began when anti-government protests during the Arab Spring uprisings were met with a brutal response by the Syrian security forces.

President Assad's regime has blamed foreign involvement and armed gangs for the conflict.

How could a potential strike be launched? Forces which could be used against Syria:

• Four US destroyers - USS Gravely, USS Ramage, USS Barry and USS Mahan - are in the eastern Mediterranean, equipped with cruise missiles. The missiles can also be fired from submarines, but the US Navy does not reveal their locations

• Airbases at Incirlik and Izmir in Turkey, and in Jordan, could be used to carry out strikes

• Two aircraft carriers - USS Nimitz and USS Harry S Truman are in the wider region

• French aircraft carrierCharles de Gaulle is currently in Toulon in the western Mediterranean

• French Raffale and Mirage aircraft can also operate from Al-Dhahra airbase in the UAE
