Hi, I am Ayshah. Coming up: The prickly pets which are all the rage | :00:00. | :00:14. | |
in America. On your marks, get set, toe, we check out this unusual | :00:15. | :00:15. | |
sporting event. You might think the issue | :00:16. | :00:21. | |
of slavery was tackled a long time ago but in fact it's a crime that's | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
growing throughout the world. In the UK alone there are estimated | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
to be more than 4,000 people being forced to work against their will | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
as modern slaves. Tomorrow the Queen will announce | :00:33. | :00:34. | |
plans to introduce an anti-slavery The BBC spoke to one girl who came | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
to England when she was 15 and was She's now safe | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
but wants to remain anonymous. I was cleaning and a glass broke, I | :00:43. | :00:57. | |
was wearing pyjamas and it was snowing outside. She pushed me | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
outside while it was snowing and I wasn't wearing any shoes from 9.00 | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
am to the next day, I couldn't come inside the house. I wanted to run | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
but I didn't know where to go. My English wasn't good. | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
Joining me now is Ben Cooley from the anti-slavery charity Hope for | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
Justice. How big a problem is this the UK? There's thousands of victims | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
of human trafficking and slavery. Women, children, men, families have | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
been brought in and exploited in our country. Why is this happening, why | :01:28. | :01:35. | |
can't victims just leave? Why keep people - they're fed with fear so | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
much, they're scared of leaving. These are victims, that's why | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
organisations like ours and the police are trying to reach out to | :01:43. | :01:49. | |
these people to help them out. Why what is being done? Os like the | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
police and non-Government organisations are trying to find | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
victims and help them and help them into a safe place. Once they get to | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
a safe place what treatment and what sort of facilities are there for | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
people? There's great aftercare facilities in our country that help | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
them to give them counselling, to make sure that what they've gone | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
through is over. Finally, how is this new bill going to help? Well, | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
one of the most important things is life imprisonment for people who are | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
doing this, the slave owners. That will be a great deterrent to | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
traffickers in our country that this crime is wrong. Thank you very much. | :02:25. | :02:31. | |
In the last hour, voting in the presidential elections | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
The country is locked in a civil war, which has been going | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
President Assad's forces are fighting opposition groups who don't | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
want him in power anymore, but he is widely expected to be | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
The BBC's Jeremy Bowen has been to the Syrian capital of Damascus and | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
There is the view you get from the opposition, and from western | :02:51. | :03:04. | |
countries and from critics of what the regime here does. That is that | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
it's a sham, that it's a bad joke. The question asked is how can you | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
hope to have a fair election in a country that's having a civil war? | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
There is a defence against all those arguments which you hear in | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
Damascus. It is that this election is a beginning, the first time since | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
the 50s, there are three faces on the ballot paper and not just one. | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
Winnie the Pooh has been named as the favourite children's book | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
of the past 150 years, in a poll of more than 2,000 adults. | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
We've been asking you what your favourite book is | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
Now they might not be cuddly, but they are pretty cute. | :03:45. | :04:05. | |
These prickly pets are the new fashion in America. | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
Owners say they are easy to keep and not too spiky to handle. | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
These american hedgehogs have been specially bred as pets. | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
In the UK, hedgehogs are a wild animal so should not be | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
And lastly, check out this very unusual sporting | :04:18. | :04:25. | |
event, where wrestlers go toe-to-toe to battle it out. | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
Here at the 38th World Toe Wrestling Championships | :04:29. | :04:30. | |
contestants went through gruelling rounds to get their opponents ankle | :04:31. | :04:32. | |
But there really was, "toe contest", for Alan Nash, | :04:33. | :04:41. | |
