what can we do for you? >> and now, "bbc world news america." >> this is "bbc world news america," reporting from washington. it charged with abandoning ship. audiotape revealed that the ship's captain is fighting with the coast guard. >> get back on board. send someone back on board. >> i am coordinating at the moment. >> i'm giving you an order, capt. >> encore flat on his back, the defense opens its case in the trial of hosni mubarak. a lot depends on the outcome. he floated like a butterfly breast on like a bee. today muhammed ali celebrates his 70th birthday. -- he floated like a butterfly, but stung like a bee. welcome to our viewers on pbs in america and also around the globe. chaos, that is how survivors described the scene after concordia hit rock. now audiotaped has emerged. on it, francesco schettino is ordered by the coast guard to return to the ship that he allegedly abandoned. divers have found five more bodies raising the number of those killed 211. >> in the darkness, scared and disorientated, they move in their hundreds. -- divers have found five more bodies raising the number of those killed to 11. >> past the gash where the water flooded in. round about the same time, this astonishing conversation was taking place between the ship's captain and a port official. >> here is the captain, francesco schettino, the focus of police inquiries. many believe that it was his actions that caused this disaster. his lawyer says not. >> the capt. defended his role on the direction of the ship after the collision which, in the captain's opinion, save hundreds, if not thousands of lives. >> they blew small holes in the side of the vessel to try to get better access. one priority, secure the ship possible supply. -- ship's fuel supply. from above, it looks peaceful today, but inside, in the darkness, bodies still float along flooded corridors. we have just been told they have discovered five more bodies inside of the ship. four men and women. the rescuers hope to find survivors, that is looking increasingly unlikely. more than 20 people are still believed to be missing. among them, a retired couple, parents of four from minnesota. and a 5-year-old. her father had taken her on the cruise as a special treat. and somewhere in the vast this of the ship, she is waiting to be found. -- and somewhere in the vastness of the ship. >> i spoke to our correspondent on the island just a short while ago. what is the response and italy to the release of these videotapes? >> well, and italians are transfixed by this horrible disaster. they are worried about what sort of reputation it might give to this country, damage to the image and things like that. the figure at the center of this is the captain. there has been a degree of vilification in the italian media. one described him as driving a cruise ship like a ferrari. then, these extraordinary tapes coming to light and whatever reputation this man has left taking the most tremendous battering. you can hear the indignation and the fury of the port officials as they demand, and demand, and demand that he goes back on board. at one point, they are telling him that there are bodies. the captain asks, how many. they say, you should be telling us that. in the aftermath of the disaster, he said that he did nothing wrong. he argues that he saved many lives by having the presence of mind to steer his ship into the shallow water and crash it on to allege. -- on to the ledge. >> we have the rescue and recovery effort on going as well. >> through the day indeed and towards the end of the day, the discoveries of five more bodies -- four men and women in the flooded parts of the stern of the wrecik -- wreck. it seemed that they were in the gathering area where they might have hoped to board a lifeboat. there are a lot of efforts in the search. there was a series of loud explosions that were aimed at cutting through the hall and making it easier to get to the gathering points. they have found bodies and a couple of days ago, another found in a similar area. >> thank you very much for joining us. still a confusing picture off the coast of italy. now to egypt, where the trial of hosni mubarak continue today. he faces charges of excepting tribes, abusing presidential authority, and killing unarmed protesters during last year's revolution. in opening his defense, the lawyer argued that he was a man who had clean hands and a pure heart. for more on what this means for the country's future, i'm joined by fellow at the u.s. institute of peace. she has just returned from egypt. thank you for joining us. welcome back. >> thank you. >> how much are egyptians watching? >> there is enormous interest because he symbolizes the whole issue of the rebellion, achieving some sort of justice. the man who led egypt for 30 years is being held to account in the same kind of cell that many of those who opposed him went through. there are questions about whether there will be full justice or whether the trial is not read or some kind of agreement in advance. -- whether the trial is not rigged or some kind of agreement in advance. >> in your conversation with people, did you get a clear sense of whether the accord was plain deference to the former president or whether this is the comeuppance of a leader who was there for 40 years and was the post? >> this is a symbol of the way that the regime is being nice to hosni mubarak. his sons come on without handcuffs. they are saluted, including former security people who are saluted by those taking them into the courtroom. there is the sense that this is low as legitimate as a could be. -- that this is as legitimate as a could be. >> you were there mixing with egyptian society. did you come away with a sense that there was real change taking place or that the military is determined to hang on to power? >> the military is very determined to hang onto power. the first incident was the removal of hosni mubarak, the second was the clashes that took place in october and november. they will have to try to take power from the generals. this is a state that has been a military state really for 60 years. all the leaders have been military men. the military has not only interest in retaining some sense of power but control over legislation, the enormous business assets that may constitute up to 1/3 of the egyptian economy. they don't want to give up the rights to kind of over see whoever is holding civilian power. >> we have seen extraordinary turn out during the elections which suggests that people are infested in the new government. what happens if the government -- if the military comes around and defies public opinion? >> even among the brotherhood group, they're talking about they might have to go back to the military. even though there is a sense that maybe the islamist and the army might be doing some kind of deal because they need each other in order to survive. this is the first time that the islamists have taken power. the military is looking at who they can work with and whether there is kind of a pakistan model for the regime in egypt. >> thank you for joining us and welcome back. >> thank you. >> the question on how to reconcile the revolution is not just limited to egypt. in libya, people are discussing the same thing as concern grows about the people who fought for gaddafi. 7000 fighters have been detained without trial. there is a law that would bar members from the old regime from running in future elections. we now report on the face of gaddafi's supporters. >> it is barely three months since there revolution. three months since they reduced him to this. a new order imposed, their ruler, crushed. but the roof korea has begun to face. -- but the euphoria has begun to fade. thousands remained stuck in the country's cramped prisons with no functioning legal system. they tell of serious abuse from guards. one shows me the scars of when his arms were smashed with hammers. put us on trial, if necessary. i don't even know what i'm accused of, he says. i don't understand what this revolution is. i am 60 years old. this is making us hate the revolution. this is a pattern that is widespread according to human rights campaigners who say that some khaddafi supporters have been tortured to death in detention. >> this will continue. our community will be divided against and with the government, like the past. we don't need this in the future. >> what would happen if those conditions continued? >> we don't know, maybe civil war. maybe anything. it would hurt the security in the country. >> even the six are segregated. this floor is for the pro gaddafi loyalists. -- even the sick are segregated. it is for their safety. the fear of reprisals is too great. that is partly why so many gaddafi's supporters are detained, according to the justice minister, who admits the government is running scared. >> on the one hand, you were afraid that they might do something against revolution. on the other hand, we must protect them against people attacking them in revenge. >> it is in these pro gaddafi areas that the government's attempts at reconciliation will be judged. those who sided with the uprising say that they were long abused under the gaddafi regime. the fear is that revenge could stop the new libya. it will take time for the wounds of civil war to heal for a post khaddafi generation. ability to grow up will be tested and the cost of failure will be high. >> after the revolution comes a difficult time sorting out the peace. the on-line encyclopedia, wikipedia, is planning to shut down the english language version of their website on 24 hours on wednesday to protest against oppose legal changes in the u.s. this is aimed at combating the sale of pirated u.s. products overseas. the foundation that runs wikipedia says it would merely create new tools of censorship. the eu will challenge changes to the hungarian constitution. the government is offering to negotiate. there are more signs of a slowdown in china breakneck pace of growth. the world's second-biggest economy grew at its slowest pace in three and a half years in the last quarter of 2011 as american and european demand for its products plunged. the economy grew 8.9%, which is strong by western standards. he is a man best known for being on the right side of the law but the spanish judge to indicted a gusto to shea -- indicted augusto pinochet. now he is facing charges for allegedly abusing his power and tapping phones. >> they were mainly from the older generation. people who knew the franco regime well. people whose loved ones disappeared. they were here to support the judge who today was in the dock. he's accused of overstepping his powers when he was investigating an alleged corruption case involving members of spain possible in popular party. popular ruling party. supporters accused the prosecutors in this case of a political trial but they insisted that no one, including the judge, is above the law. >> what we cannot say is that because a person has done summit things for humanity that he is not subject to being prosecuted if he commits a crime. the sad part of this is that he is getting so many medals for violating human rights, he is the first one to violate the right of free communications and defense. he has violated the rights he claims to defend. >> baltasar garzon is famous for in guiding the former chilean dictator pinochet, and for investigating several high- profile corruption cases. the fact that spain's most famous judge is now on trial highlights of the awkward relationship with the past. it is a past that supporters of judge garzon will not forget. to six years later, many feel justice is yet to be done. 36 years later, many feel justice is yet to be done. >> 100 years after the ill-fated journey to the south pole, we look back on the expedition of captain scott and his team that never made it. the aircraft manufacturer airbus delivered a record number of planes last year. this is the ninth year in a row that they have beaten boeing. while they are doing well, many of their customers are struggling. >> airlines across the world may be facing higher fuel prices, taxes, and lower profit, but for the first time in the year, airbus and boeing have delivered a little bit more than a thousand aircraft. they have had net orders. airbus is taking on 4000 new starts this year to bring down the backlog of orders. >> if you reach 600, we're still well above production. that is not a catastrophe. 2011 was an extraordinary year. we cannot grow our backlog if we cannot reach the production numbers. >> by far, anti orders have been for more fuel-efficient engines. -- the orders have been for planes with more fuel-efficient engines. >> if we don't replace these with fuel with something like $100 a barrel, they will not continue to operate the way they are. they have to get the economic advantage that the new aircraft brings in terms of fuel efficiency, maintenance, and the number of passengers. >> airbus has net orders for more than 1400 planes in 2011 compared to just 804 boeing. -- compared to just 800 for boeing. airbus says that chinese makers are likely to be competitors in the future. >> they call him scott of the and arctic and 100 years ago, he and a group of explorers of they would become the first to make it to the south pole only to discover that norwegians had beaten him to it. he never made it home to talk of his it venture, he died a few miles from safety. his story of determination became famous. >> terra nova set sail on a journey to the end of the earth. determined to be the first expedition to the south pole. they were led by captain scott. >> he was an explorer, a pioneer, without any question or doubt. we don't call him an adventure because that has a boy's own hero attitude to it. it was pioneering exploration and science. >> as the ship approached and are tikrit, it became trapped in ice for nearly three weeks. -- as the ship approached antarctic tha, it became trappen ice. the rival norwegian team was also on its way, its path showed in red. they got their first. scott's team made it more than a month later and never made it back. among them, capt. notes crippled by frost right. he sacrificed themselves to he would not burden his team. he left the tent telling them, i may be some time. they discovered hundreds of new species of animals. they collected rock samples, penguin eggs, now on display at the natural history museum in england. this was used by captain scott for his journey. although he did not make it their first or make it home, he is still regarded as an iconic figure for his heroic efforts. only now, historians are realizing his immense contributions. theirs was a misadventure, of the spirit of heroic investigation that has not been matched since. >> it might be some time that every british schoolchild learns. muhammed ali turns 70 today. he not only fought and some of the most memorable fights in history, he came up with some of the best lines. he never shied from the public gaze and was a great entertainer. it was not just his boxing that won him fans. >> mohammad ali -- fast, brave, and crash. even in the early days, before he was world champion, it was clear he was different. this is ali at 70, back in louisville, kentucky, to celebrate his birthday at the weekend. courage is only part of the legend. his three world titles confirm his place in boxing history but he was also an entertainer. >> who was the champ of the world? [applause] >> i will let any man in the world. -- i will whip any man in the world. >> not everyone saw the funny side. his views on race and religion in the 60's were divisive and controversial. >> he was outspoken and brave. he was a king. >> it is now more than 30 years since muhammed ali retired from the ring, and yet he is still an inspirational figure to anyone in boxing. at 70, he remains the greatest sporting icon of our age. young boxers are still in all of him -- still in awe of him. watching just a few minutes of this classic match is enough to leave them mesmerized. >> he inspired lots of people. >> i pick up some much. >> lighting the olympic flame in atlanta in 1936, showed that he faced his biggest opponent had on. -- lighting the olympic flame in atlanta in 1996. >> it shows that as an older man struggling with parkinson's, was a different kind of and perhaps a greater courage that he showed as a young man. >> mohamad of the has spent his lifetime defying expectations. -- muhammed ali has spent his life time to find at expectations. >> and we wish mr. ali a very happy 70th birthday. that brings our program to a close but remember, you can get updates any time on our website. for all of us here at "bbc world news america," thank you for watching. do tune in tomorrow. >> make sense of international news. bbc.com/news. >> funding for this presentation is 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 know your business. offering specialized solutions and capital to meet your growth objectives, we offer expertise and tailored solutions for small businesses and major corporations. what can we do for you? >> "bbc world news" was presented by kcet, los angeles.
