New deadly threat. Hello. A South African judge has granted prosecutors permission to appeal against the conviction of os scar pistorius of culpable homicide. It will now go to the Supreme Court of appeal. He was given a five year term in october. Prosecutors describe that as shockingly right. The judge has been giving her reasons for allowing the appeal. I have been persuaded that the questions in respect of count one set out by the applicant of questions of law. That being so, i cannot say after considering submissions by council that the prospect of success is remote. What does that mean . Our correspondent is at the courthouse in pretoria. Reporter judge ma sipa has granted the prosecution to appeal the conviction of culpable homicide of murder. The state described the term shockingly light for the crime committed. What hah will happen now is gerie nel and his team will get a new set of judges to hear the facts presented in this court about how Oscar Pistorius shot and killed his girlfriend on valentines day 2013. Its after that and how they interpret the law that will determine the new outcome. In other words, Oscar Pistorius can be found by a new set of judges guilty of murder instead of manslaughter. That will significantly change his current prison sentence to a longer prison term. The National Prosecuting authority told us that they are satisfied with the outcome of this ruling, and that theyve got most of what they wanted. They will decide on whether to appeal on the issues that the judge dismissed. She dismissed the sentence and also on the possession of am ammunition without license. Hes still in prison serving a phi year term a. That could change in the new year when a new set of judges listening to the case. It depends how they interpret the law. Milton there. Now, the last remaining hostage has arrived home. He flew into paris. With his daughter at his side, he received a warm welcome. The businessman was captured in mali in 2011 and held three years. President hollande said there are no more french hostages anywhere in the world. Theres been no details about how he came to be set free. Earlier i spoke to Lucy Williamson about how his release may have been secured. Absolutely. Lots of questions about what was given in return to secure his release if anything. French government have always said they dont pay ransoms. Theres widespread speculation in the past they negotiate the terms of hostage releases. In this case too there have been unconfirmed allegations, reports that some militants associated with the group that kidnapped will the man have been released from a jail in mali. Thats unconfirmed but coming from several sources in the region. What is French Public opinion on this . Im sure theres divided views. Is there a sense the french government should do something to free its people . I think as you say theres a variety of views here in france. Theres no doubt france has had hostage i cry ceaisises in the few years. The last one in september was a tourist executed in nigeria. That really shocked Public Opinion here in france. I think the reaction to this incident is first of all one of great relief and happiness in the country. As you say, some here will be asking questions how it was achieved. Tell us a little more about the hostage in this case. How was he initially captured . What will happen to him now . He was captured three years ago in mali with another frenchman. They were there on a business trip. One was an engineer and one said to be a geologist. Phillipe was executed last year. The group said they executed him in retaliation for the french operation in mali. A video was released last month where he said he was in poor health, feared for his life. He called on president hollande and the government to do what they could to get him released. The u. N. And human Rights Groups have called for prosecutions of officials behind the cia interrogations released in the report. From washington now. I can hear you. The rest of the world hears you. After the 911 attacks, president bush authorized the cia to detain terror suspects. For years, even he wasnt briefed on specific techniques used. A report into the cia interrogation methods describe them as brutal saying information collected this way didnt uncover any terror plots. The cia admits it made mistakes but maintains information gathered at secret locations like this in afghanistan helped stop sturfurther attacks. The findings are hopefully to mean that these interrogation techniques will never be used again. Some argue its an attempt to discredit the Bush Administration and leave millions of americans at risk. Weve taken precautionary measures in embassies and around the world. Theres never a perfect time to release a report like this. It was important for us to recognize that part of what sets us apart is when we do something wrong, we acknowledge it.

He was making a point the sanctions are hurting every side affected. Can i ask you, in terms of ordinary People Living standards, would you say people are suffering feeling the pain of that currency . People are starting to feel the pain. Literally in the last couple of weeks you cant hide the fact prices are rising on all kinds of products. People are worried about prices rising in the new year. More and more people are affected here. More people are worried about how the Economic Situation in russia is going to develop. That puts pressure on the government. It puts pressure on the government. The government is not hiding the economic problems. If you read the government newspaper everyday, they talk act the falling rouble.

We expect that in a few days time. Theres a one and a half hour talk with Russian Television anchors. Questions was tough. One of the anchors asked what are you going to offer russians in place of stability that theyve now lost . His reply will be be patient and avoid hysteria. Interesting stuff. Thanks in moscow for us.

There are people against this idea that girls should not have rights and they believe women are supposed to stay inside the houses. For them, the identity of women is not like they think woman is supposed to be a wife or daughter or mother. They never think a woman has this right to become a woman, have her own identity, to qualify to work. They have the backing of religion for that message for their view of what is the true islam .

A Senior Palestinian official has died after a confrontation with israeli troops in the occupied west bank. A South African judge rules prosecutors can appeal against Oscar Pistorius acquittal on murder charges for killing his girlfriend. Frances last hostage returns home after three years in captivity. We start with breaking news. A Senior Palestinian official has died after a confrontation with israeli troops. Eyewitnesses said the minister without portfolio died shortly after being hit and shot by soldiers. Our correspondent kevin conley is in jerusalem. What details do you have . Reporter well, what we know of course is that all the details will be disputed as the day goes on between israel and palestinians. What seems clear from the video is that ziad abu ein was part of a group of protestors. Their plan was to plant trees there to underline the palestinian claim and title to that land. In the course of that protest they came in confrontation with israeli troops. It seems tear gas was fired. There are conflicting reports about exactly what happened to abu ein. Some eyewitnesses say he was hit and shoved by troops. He collapsed at scene and was taken to a palestinian hospital in the city. Medical sources at the hospital tell us he has died. The hint from them said it was from the effects of inhaling tear gas. I think palestinians will see the exact cause of death as a secondary issue. Theyll see this as death caused in a confrontation with israel. I think it will certainly serve to sharpen political tensions that had been escalating over the course of months here. How senior figure has there been formal reaction to this at all . The palestinian leadership said there will be an investigation and response. These are early days of this story. We will expect a more formal response from palestinians later. The palestinian president has spoken that there will be a response. Abu ein was not a public face on the International Stage but hes an important behind the scenes figure. He would have been a leadership figure at this protest. His death with residence ig nate throughout the palestinian world and arab world. Well have clear implications for the palestinian relationship with israel. Kevin, many thanks indeed.
