Plastic bullets. Scenes reminiscent of the massive antigovernment demonstrations. Fireworks rocks and at the police in reference to the Corruption Scandal for recip tayipp erdogans administration. I am here to condemn bribery and asked the government to resign. The breaking up of protests in istanbul, came after the resignation of three members of party, on the government pressure on the judiciary. The crisis has led to a cabinet reshuffle, and speculation that Prime Minister erdogan may face a tough election next year. Speaking to his supporters he went on the attack, singling out a prosecutor that claim to the press that he was being obstructed. Does a prosecutor standing in front of a courthouse hand out a press release to members of the media . How is this possible . A prosecutor like that is a disgrace to our system of justice. Month afterhis carrying out secretive investigations into corruption allegations, the Police Detained dozens of people including the sons of three ministers and this the head of the staterun bank. Are claimsllegations of money transfers to iran and bribery on construction projects. About 1700 Police Officers were purged requiring the police to share their findings with the to share their findings and pretraining this as a conspiracy to bring down the government. But with protests returning to the streets of turkey, Prime Minister erdogan faces charges of a coverup. Has a history of military takeovers, the powers of the army have been curbed, they do not want to be involved in political debate. Stating instead that they respect the judiciarys independence. Has given a leader cautious response to government proposals for a ceasefire. They said that any ceasefire will need to be credible and properly monitored. Regional leaders said the government has agreed to end hostilities. Violence erupted earlier this albahir and those supporting we report from nairobi. Specific pressure on bashar. He was not in nairobi for the stalks and his exact location is not known. But it is said he must follow the south sudanese governments lead for a halt in the violence. We welcome a commitment for the government of the republic of south sudan for a cessation for the other parties of chatah to make similar commitments. Hostilities if they do not seize within four days, the summit will consider taking further measures. The regional body did not spell out what those former further measures could be, but the disdain ofne seizing power by force. This was bad news for bashar. The overthrow see of the democratically elected government of south sudan. As more and more people are displaced, south sudan waits to see if they will agree to the cessation of hostilities. He told the bbc it would not be possible to stop fighting unless a proper Monitoring System was set out, and a ceasefire would be negotiated. The government admits that fighting continues. The northern part is safe, of unity state. Because of the presence of the areas, thethose killing of the personnel in the oilfields. Everyone waits to see if the fighting will stop and if talks will begin in the next few days. Lets hear some of that interview with the rebel leader. My calling Owen Bennett Jones spoke to him, do ask if he would agree immediately to a cease fire. I was involved many times in negotiating ceasefires. It, is that of ceasefires are negotiated by two delegations. And monitoring the ceasefires that are put in place so that the ceasefire becomes a credible ceasefire. Clearly,nderstand you you say that as things stand you will continue to fight . This is not what i am saying. Ceasem saying is that fires are always left to the delegation. And for the ceasefire to be credible, there is the need for a mechanism. Or else we are deceiving ourselves. The situation is still very unclear and we will bring you any more when we get on it. Is underway inn antarctica to reach a group of scientists and tourists whose ship has been trapped since tuesday. The latest reports say a chinese icebreaker is trying to reach , with over vessel 100 people on board. We will speak to a bbc reporter who was on board the ship but first, this report. Since tuesday they have been firmly stuck here. After a change in the weather took them into heavy ice which piled around the ship and froze it in place. Board, scientist a journey one century ago. The russian crew worked to create Christmas Spirit as they awaited help. With ampleood supplies and no danger danger of sinking. And help comes in the form of the chinese icebreaker, the snow dragon. Vessel appeared as a speck on the horizon. Heardhort while ago, we that the snow dragon is close. About 20 kilometers from where they are now, a long way from where they are trapped in the sea ice. The snow dragon will have to edge its way through densely packed ice, but the weather was improving and is expected to remain more favorable for two days. To continuefor them their forage what voyage once freed. Mentioned, on board the shift is andrew lloyd bacon. They are on the voyage to make a series of radio programs for the bbc world service. Much disappointment that the snow dragon is not able to reach you. Not for the time being, but this is actually parked up they are looking at the top deck and this is about 10 kilometers away, parallel in the ice. What will happen is that it will wait for the arrival of an vessel,an icebreaking which we hope will arrive tomorrow and about 24 hours and those two together are going to hopefully crunch their way through the ice between us, and they will be followed bys a smaller, french vessel which and we are hoping that maybe within the next 48 hours we will be released. Is moralepe what like there. I would say this is holding up. There were a few people who were naturally disappointed that the chinese vessel, the snow dragon had packed up that was going to be coming straight for us today. The scientists and the science volunteers the paying passengers who were on board to help the scientists with their research on this expedition. Remind us, what is the purpose of this . The purpose of the expedition is to revisit many of the sites in east antarctica, around commonwealth they that were discovered when first lawson, thedouglas very first characters of the heroic age to come to this site in antarctica. He was here for about two and a half years, but his team did a lot of scientific research, and measurements around this area, and the idea of the modern expedition is to come back and repeat many of those studies and measurements, to see how the environment has changed over the last 20 years. We wish you the best of luck and hope that hopefully the snow dragon will eventually reach you, and if not that, too of the other icebreakers that are on the way. That is bbc producer andrew baker on the ship that has been stuck there since tuesday. There is a lot still coming.

Police break up a demonstration in the heart of this temple. The leading party is rocked by a Corruption Scandal as the leader riot saysotest band that the jail was horrible. Her russian jail was a side of unimaginable hell, which she which we just heard. Both had been arrested after performing a protest song at the moscow cathedral. We have spoken with both women and we will hear from natalie kornikova but firstt here is mashima you should not have any illusions. Everything that president Vladimir Putin has done has been done for his image. He is a product of the kgb system. Led by operational necessity. He is suspicious of his own citizens and that is his dominant instinct. Of rallyingble freedom and unable to give it. Our political position has not changed. We are still disgusted by what is happening in russia under his rule and are determined to change that. Our duty is to focus on freedom strikes. We are now connected to the prison system. But now not our choice this is our responsibility. Prison conditions are something that you are feeling strongly about. Were you shocked by what is happening in prison. Colony was a place of unimaginable horror. A place without freedom. The morning exercises happen in any weather. And the food is beneath human dignity. You go to walk in an industrial building with old machines. And if it breaks down, this is your problem. With a brokenre machine and the work piling up on your table. This continues from morning till late at night. The women walk for six hours a day and get four hours of sleep. This is female slavery. What is at stake, do you think, to target the church to take more action inside the church . At the trial, i said that this was a mistake but this is hours and that of the state. If people were really upset by what we did this was partly our fault but also the fault of the statecontrolled media. The political message was not explained. Seems to havehat allowed you to be released early, just a little bit ahead of the full sentence, is the Winter Olympics. Do you think that people should go to the Winter Olympics or they should boycott them . I cannot make decisions for other people, but i will say this is a political choice. If you support the olympics you support the way that he runs russia and people from other countries should realize this is a political and ethical choice. To members of the band who are now back in moscow. Members greenpeace activists were also given amnesty in russia. Under the same law. They were arrested in september after protesting against mining in the arctic. This report contains some flash photography. A long but welcome journey ends.

Enjoyed quite so much media. But for the loved ones, this is just relief. This is fantastic. Christmas is late but no less festive for the families reunited here. This leads to an end of over 100 days on under arrest and the full fear he of russian authorities. They were among 30 arrested in this germanic encounter in september. After greenpeace tried to stop the oil drilling in russian waters. They faced several years behind bars. Ago, they were granted exit visas after the Russian Parliament approved of an amnesty bill. Noted that the amnesty comes just weeks before russia post the Winter Olympics. Back in london, the activists say they will continue their protests against oil drilling but may reconsider future tactics. This takes second place to family reunions. Syria agreed to the instruction of their chemical weapons stockpile, apparently a success in international diplomacy. But the process of destroying large numbers of chemical weapons in a country at war is very complex. Syria andtives from the United States have been meeting in moscow, to work out how they will destroy the stockpile. They have a few weeks to go to the end of the month, when the most the deadline for the bet damaging chemicals to removed kicks in. This man worked with the u. N. To disarm iraq. Signals that the deadline would not be met. A russian official expressed this. There has been bad weather and fighting, a deteriorating past the tactical situation from damascus and although it has not been made official, everyone is expecting that this will have to be flexed by a few days or weeks but how long is not clear. The implications are impossible to imagine. The conflict in syria is very volatile. At there these weapons moment from your understanding . They are being brought together in damascus and there were closed sites from which they are having to be moved, tidied up and brigade. Where they are at the moment is not clear. They are intended to end up at the court where they will be taken by norwegian and danish ships to italy, to an unnamed court where they will be put on an american ship, and taken into the mediterranean to be processed. Processed. The chinese are sending a frigate, there is a norwegian and danish frigate. This will be heralded as a very impressive collaboration but it is not clear what these will be for. Other countries getting involved Everyone Wants to play a part. Wanted to take these weapons into their own country. They are obviously overseeing all of this, they won the nobel peace prize. Who is funding this . The director general has been on the road, talking to a number of countries and asking for millions,will cost but there are other contributions. Mentioned, thei americans have produced about 3000 drums that they will not be charged for and a lot of things will be provided in ways that wont show up on the balance sheet. This is the syrian responsibility to do things in their country and the cost for that he spoke to me a little bit earlier. Tensions have also risen across the border in lebanon. A former cabinet minister is among those dead in a huge explosion in beirut. Hugead chatah was a supporter of hariri and a critic of hezbollah. Some of the top brewers in germany are demanding official recognition of their craft by the United Nations. Is fallingnsumption in germany and some say it is because of the strict rules in the industry. This is a land that flows with beer and takes it very seriously. That16, the law decreed brewers could only use a few. Ingredients. In some countries they use rice and in germany that is forbidden. The German Brewers Association wants the United Nations to recognize this law as a world treasure, to put them on the World Heritage list. Art, are proud of this producing brewing beer, with only four ingredients. That is how the different german beer is brewed, a good thing to carry out in the world. Every german drinks about two liters of beer per week, about four pints. Very high on the international table. But they are drinking less of it. Germans are turning away from beer. Sales,rying to win back some smaller brewers make nonstandard bruce, including english ales that have been that german law says cannot be called beer. They look across to Foreign Countries that dont have these constraints. This may be a National Treasure but is this now holding back german brewing . A question to be determined under a glass of foaming ale. That is all from bbc world news. Goodbye. Make sense of International News at bbc. Com news.
