Britain has said the Russian airline which crashed in Egypt on Saturday may well have been brought down by an explosive device. The British foreign secretary Phillip Hammond said the assessment1 followed examination of intelligence information from a range of sources. We have concluded that there is a significant possibility of that crash was caused by an explosive device on board the aircraft. Earlier this evening, we delayed the return to the UK of British bound flights that we are on the ground of Sharm el-Sheikh while we conducted a review of security at the airport. Britain has also suspended all flights to the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh from which the Russian plane took off. US officials echoed the bomb theory, but stressed that this was not a definitive2 conclusion. One US official said Islamic State militants3 who have claimed the attack may have been behind it.
Egypt has expressed anger and disappointment of the British warning. Lyse Doucet is in Cairo. I've just got off the telephone with Egypt's foreign minister Sameh Shoukry, and he is absolutely furious. He said Britain has jumped to conclusions with what he called an unwarranted statement before the investigations4 into the crash were even completed. He says that will be catastrophic for the millions of Egyptians who earn their living to tourism. Our defense5 correspondent Frank Gardener examines what prompted the British decision. What's changing this time was new intelligence, fresh intelligence that arrived today. I think we got assumed probably come from Britain's intelligence agencies either MI6 or GCHQ. And it'll be something to do with terrorism activity in the Sinai. It's already home to a very active branch of so-called Islamic State. They've been battling the Egyptian government. They got surface to air missiles, but small ones, not ones that can bring down anaircraft of that height. But they would have invested interest in doing something like this.
The Pentagon says members of a recently formed Syrian opposition6 group called the Syrian Arab Coalition7 have captured an area of 200 sq km in a battle with Islamic State militants in the northeast of the country. It's said the battle near the town of al-Hawl involved about 1000 opposition fighters backed by aircraft from the US led coalition.
A major rescue operation is underway in the Pakistani city of Lahore where a 4-story factory which is under construction has collapsed9 killing10 at least 18 people. Officials said more than 70 people had been rescued, but over 100 more were feared trapped beneath the rubble11. Emergency teams have brought in heavy machinery12 to help free them. It's not clear what caused the building to collapse8 though labors13 working on the site have said it was damaged during last month's earthquake. You're listening to world news from the BBC.
The credit rating's agency Moody's has down graded the credit score of the car company Volkswagen following the emissions15 scandal, Andrew walker reports. The risk of Volkswagen behind Moody's decisions comes from the company's announcement about fuel efficiency in carbon dioxide emissions. VW said it had found what it called irregularities in its stated emissions and fuel consumption figures that affected17 up to 800,000 vehicles. The crisis which erupted in September involved nitrogen oxide16 emissions from diesel18 cars. The company’s latest statement indicated wider problems with issues about other types of emission14, and implied these some petrol vehicles are also affected. Andrew Walker.
The US authorities temporarily stopped aircraft landing at Santiago airport while they dealt with the gunman under the flight path. Police said a man involved in a domestic dispute had fired shots from a high-powered rifle when police arrived at his apartment building. He later surrendered.
The Iranian president Hassan Rouhani has questioned the arrest of a number of journalists on Tuesday. The intelligence service of the revolutionary guards detained several members of what described as infiltration19 network linked to hostile western governments.
Mexico Supreme20 Court had voted in favor of allowing a group of activists21 to grow and distribute Marijuana for their personal use. The ruling only applies to the four people who brought the case, but expert say it could pave the way for legalizing the recreational use of Marijuana in the future. Kitty Watson reports. In a country that faces drug violence on a massive scale, this is a significant ruling. It was based on the freedom of citizens to be able to choose what they consume. This is just the first step. The ruling doesn't replace existing drug laws. In order for the law to change, the supreme court would have to vote the same way four more times on very similar cases, but activists still seeing this as a huge victory. And that’s the BBC news.
英国方面称周六俄客机埃及坠机事件很可能遭到了爆炸袭击。英国外交大臣菲利浦·哈蒙德称，这是我们掌握一些情报信息后做出的分析。我们认为飞机遭炸弹袭击的可能性非常高。傍晚稍早些时候，我们暂飞了驶往英国的航班，并在姆沙伊赫接受了安全检查。英国暂飞了所有前往红海度假胜地姆沙伊赫的航班，俄客机正是从姆沙伊赫起飞。美国官方也对爆炸袭击表示赞同，但强调称这不是最终结论。一名美国官员称对此事件负责的“伊斯兰国”极端组织或就是幕后主使。
埃及方面对英国此次警告表示失望与气愤。请听莱丝·道塞特为您从开罗发回的报道。我刚刚与埃及外交部长邵克里通了电话，他极为恼火。他称在空难调查结果尚未结束之前，英国就已经做出结论，并将其称之为“毫无根据的声明”。他表示称对于数百万靠旅游业生存的人来说，这将会是灾难性的。国防记者弗兰克·加德纳对英国的此项决定进行了分析。我们今天获得了最新情报数据。我认为此消息来源于英国情报部门，军情六局或是政府通信总部。此情报一定与西奈半岛的恐怖活动有关。活动频繁的“伊斯兰国”极端组织驻扎在该区域。并一直与埃及政府进行对抗。他们拥有小型地对空导弹，但无能力击落达到如此高度的飞机。但他们对击落飞机表示出了兴趣。

墨西哥最高法院投票同意该权益组织个人种植及使用大麻。这一判决仅适用于这4名成员，但有专家称此举为大麻全面合法化创造了条件。请听基蒂·沃森的报道。墨西哥毒品暴力猖獗，该判决意义重大。这是根据公民自由选择权所做出的判决。这只是第一步。此判决并没有代替现有大麻法。为了对现有法规进行修缮，最高法院不得不对类似案件做出四次相同判决，活动人士认为这是一场胜利。BBC新闻。
