Tonight at Ten - junior doctors in England will | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
intensify their strike action in the long-running dispute over | :00:07. | :00:08. | |
They'll walk out for five consecutive days, starting | :00:09. | :00:22. | |
on September 12th, with no sign of any new agreement in prospect. | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
This is devastating news for patients. | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
Perhaps 100,000 operations will now have to be cancelled, | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
around a million hospital appointments will have | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
We're willing to take a greater cutting our pay in order to stand up | :00:35. | :00:45. | |
to and oppose this contract. We'll be asking if the prospect | :00:46. | :00:54. | |
of resolving the junior doctors' dispute is more distant | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
than it's ever been. Another 2,000 migrants rescued today | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
the Italian coastguard say that Theresa May says they're aiming | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
for a unique deal for the UK In south London a woman | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
and a boy have been killed They were hit by a car | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
being chased by police. And we report on a new treatment | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
showing promising signs of slowing And coming up in Sportsday on BBC | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
News, all the transfer deadline day deals, including a big-money return | :01:18. | :01:24. | |
to Chelsea for Brazil Junior doctors in England | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
are to intensify their strike action in the long-running dispute over pay | :01:28. | :01:55. | |
and working hours. Ministers accused the British | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
Medical Association of playing politics instead | :02:00. | :02:01. | |
of putting patients first. But the doctors say | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
the new contract is unfair This latest action will involve | :02:06. | :02:07. | |
a full withdrawal of labour over five consecutive days | :02:08. | :02:14. | |
between the hours of 8am and 5pm from the 12th | :02:15. | :02:15. | |
to the 16th of September. Our health editor Hugh | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
Pym has more details. Scenes like this are said to be | :02:22. | :02:37. | |
repeated outside hospitals in England. Walk-outs by junior doctors | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
and cancellations of operations, a spring of industrial action gave way | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
to what looked like is a settlement, button or to modest rex is on the | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
cards, with doctors opposing the Government's imposition of a new | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
contract. No doctors want to take industrial action, but the silence | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
from the Government, the lack of the response, it has meant we were left | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
with no other choice than to take further industrial action today. | :03:05. | :03:11. | |
This is devastating news for patients, perhaps 100,000 operations | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
will have to be cancelled, around 2 million appointments will have to be | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
postponed, causing worry, distress and anxiety for families up and down | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
the country. Strike action affecting routine care | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
began in January this year, but in April the 1st all-out strike by a | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
group of doctors in NHS history took place. Then talks resumed and a deal | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
was done between the BMA and the Government, in July BMA members | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
rejected the new contract deal. Most | :03:42. | :03:53. | |
hospitals in said they coped reasonably well the last time junior | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
doctors staged full walk-outs back in April, but this time they don't | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
have so long to draw up contingency plans and the industrial action will | :04:00. | :04:01. | |
last five days, rather than two. Consultants will provide emergency | :04:02. | :04:03. | |
cover but routine operations will be disrupted. One patient said her | :04:04. | :04:05. | |
treatment was affected by previous strikes. | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
It feels as though the junior doctors are taking very little heed | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
of what the patients need, it is important that they themselves are | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
satisfied with what they do, of course, but it is equally right that | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
they should strike the right balance and not put patient well-being at | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
jeopardy. Junior doctors won concessions on | :04:26. | :04:27. | |
safety but the man still include more generous weekend pay allowance, | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
more detail on how the Government plans to achieve a full seven-day | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
NHS service, and more protection for women and part-time workers. | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
We went into medicine to do a decent job, Day in, day out, of looking | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
after patients. We can't do that it stretched too Finlay, if there are | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
not enough to cover ons, to look after page on wards safely. Beyond | :04:52. | :05:03. | |
the week in September there are no plans dates for further strikes, | :05:04. | :05:05. | |
that the BMA has let it be known that industrial action will continue | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
through the winter, if there is no resolution. | :05:09. | :05:09. | |
It all sounds very familiar, both sides far apart. No hope of any | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
talks. On the Government site Jeremy Hunt is making the case, the BMA is | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
broadly similar. But the big change is the new Prime Minister. With the | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
NHS under mounting financial pressure and missing key patient | :05:24. | :05:30. | |
care targets, how she chooses to handle the dispute as winter draws | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
in will be a big test for her. Thank you very much, Hugh Pym. | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
The Italian coastguard says it has rescued some 2,000 migrants | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
It brings the total number who've been picked up | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
Ships carrying hundreds of those rescued earlier in the week have | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
started arriving at ports across southern Italy, | :05:48. | :05:48. | |
Many of the migrants are from Eritrea and Somalia. | :05:49. | :05:55. | |
Our correspondent Ed Thomas reports now from the Sicilian port | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
of Pozzallo, where he's been speaking to some | :06:00. | :06:01. | |
More than 80 rescues, in four days, and the ports of southern | :06:02. | :06:08. | |
This was Sardinia, an Irish navy ship brings in hundreds of men, | :06:09. | :06:15. | |
In Sicily, another ship docks, again full of people. | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
On the island of Lampedusa, the coastguard arrive | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
with a reminder that this crisis isn't easing. | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
These calm waters have given the desperate | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
These men, women and children were picked up by the Italian navy. | :06:34. | :06:42. | |
There's relief, but also exhaustion after a journey like no other. | :06:43. | :06:56. | |
All they have are the clothes on their back. | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
If you take a look at this group, they don't have any shoes. | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
But these are the lucky ones because they've made it here. | :07:05. | :07:12. | |
Nearly 3,000 have died in the crossing from Libya to Italy | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
The sick are treated first - pictures taken, numbers given. | :07:16. | :07:27. | |
It's hard to understand why anyone would do this. | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
But then listen to Abel and Kelvin from Nigeria. | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
People cut off people's head and people are being raped | :07:36. | :07:46. | |
Both say they're running from Islamist extremists, Boko Haram. | :07:47. | :07:53. | |
What would have happened to you if you'd stayed in Nigeria? | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
To me, if I was in Nigeria by now I believe that I would die, | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
Sakeeb is from Pakistan, he wants work, a home and security. | :08:02. | :08:15. | |
Why should Europe, Italy, give you a job? | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
It's a problem not to have a job in Pakistan, not have money. | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
10,000 have crossed this route since Sunday. | :08:25. | :08:35. | |
People from Somalia, Eritrea, the Middle East and Bangladesh. | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
With the European fleet waiting off the Libyan coast, | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
some fear it's made life too easy for the smugglers, | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
exploiting those who'll gamble their lives to begin again. | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
Cabinet ministers have spent the day at Chequers, | :08:49. | :08:56. | |
the Prime Minister's country residence, discussing | :08:57. | :08:57. | |
the options for Britain's exit from the European Union. | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
They agreed that the UK should seek what they called a unique deal | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
after leaving the EU by controlling immigration while retaining | :09:04. | :09:05. | |
Theresa May insisted that there'd be no attempt to stay in | :09:06. | :09:12. | |
the European Union by the back door, as our political correspondent | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
After the passion and recriminations of the EU referendum, | :09:16. | :09:23. | |
Theresa May chose the tranquil setting of her 16th Century country | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
residence to gather her team and try to thrash out exactly | :09:28. | :09:29. | |
She told ministers that there were many challenges ahead. | :09:30. | :09:37. | |
We'll be looking at the next steps that we need to take, | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
but we'll also be looking at the opportunities that are now | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
open to us as we forge a new role for the UK in the world. | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
The Prime Minister's made it clear she won't trigger Article 50 | :09:51. | :09:57. | |
until next year, that'll start formal negotiations. | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
She said immigration needs to come down with controls on free movement | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
and that could make it impossible for the UK to remain | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
Since that momentous decision to leave the European Union, | :10:07. | :10:13. | |
ministers have barely spoken publicly about what happens next | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
Of course, they don't want to give away any negotiating position before | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
talks even start, but Theresa May knows that even within her own party | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
people have very different views about what the UK | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
I want us now to deliver on what the people have voted for. | :10:30. | :10:37. | |
They voted for Brexit and it's now up to the Brexiteers to come | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
forward, with their vision, with their plans and | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
Notably people like Boris Johnson, who promised us that we could | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
continue to have access to the single market, free | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
During the referendum the Leave side were accused of failing to give any | :10:52. | :11:00. | |
details about life outside the EU, but one prominent campaigner | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
I think if they can go ahead quickly, they should | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
The only thing that takes time is if you're trying to negotiate | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
some special trade deal for Britain with the European Union | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
Therefore, we have to accept it's not possible, not waste | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
Today, discussions about Brexit happened behind rather grand closed | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
doors, but there's much more public scrutiny to come. | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
Six teenagers have been arrested and bailed in connection | :11:33. | :11:38. | |
with the death of a Polish man in Harlow in Essex. | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
Arkadiusz Jozwik, who was 40, was left with fatal head injuries | :11:43. | :11:44. | |
after what was believed to be an unprovoked attack | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
Police haven't ruled out the possibility of it being a hate | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
crime, but say they're still investigating. | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
In south-east London a woman and a boy have died after a car | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
being chased by police hit a group of pedestrians on a street in Penge. | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
Three girls were also injured in the crash. | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
Scotland Yard say the driver is now in custody and they've | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
Our home affairs correspondent Tom Symonds reports. | :12:12. | :12:22. | |
A man scrambles across a busy south London Road. He appears to stumble | :12:23. | :12:29. | |
and then tip behind a bush. Onlookers point out to the pursuing | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
officers. This man was one of them. Running as fast as he could come he | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
just stumbled right over. He was very, very panicky. Then he started | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
crawling in and is trying his best to get away. | :12:46. | :12:47. | |
Eyewitnesses said that just around the corner, he had run off after | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
crashing this black car following a pursuit by police. It appears to | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
have swerved onto the pavement and into a woman and four children. | :12:58. | :13:04. | |
Vanessa ran to help. A horrifying rescue attempt unfolded. When I got | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
there there were five bodies underneath one car. Little kids | :13:10. | :13:15. | |
screaming, like... People passing by, driving by. Trying to reach the | :13:16. | :13:21. | |
car, realising there are two girls on the bonnet of the car. So they | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
can't move the car. There were 20 guys around this one car, all | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
lifting the car up and moving the car. | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
Everyone came out. But despite her desperate attempts to resuscitate | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
them, a middle-aged woman and a boy said by local people to be her | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
nephew died. They were on their way to a nearby park. | :13:43. | :13:49. | |
You just know that you've tried your best to save someone and they are no | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
longer here, you heard their last words. Three girls trapped by the | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
car were freed and taken to hospital. A 23-year-old man has been | :13:59. | :14:04. | |
arrested. This started with a reported stolen car and a five | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
minute chase through these residential busy streets, with cars | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
parked on either side. All of which raises the risk, and police had to | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
continually assess whether to keep the pursuit going. This will all be | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
subject to an independent investigation now. | :14:22. | :14:23. | |
Thank you, Tom Symonds. The Republican US presidential | :14:24. | :14:25. | |
candidate, Donald Trump - who has described Mexican immigrants | :14:26. | :14:27. | |
as drug dealers and rapists - made an unexpected trip to Mexico | :14:28. | :14:30. | |
today to meet the country's president, and delivered | :14:31. | :14:33. | |
a rather different message. He has previously also threatened to | :14:34. | :14:43. | |
build a wall along the border. I happen to have a tremendous feeling | :14:44. | :14:50. | |
for Mexican Americans, not only in terms of friendships but in terms of | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
the number -- tremendous number that I employ in the United States, and | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
they are amazing people, amazing people. Donald Trump speaking in | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
Mexico, he will be speaking in Arizona later. The tone was very | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
different, James Cook, was the message? | :15:09. | :15:14. | |
I think it was. Certainly the tone was very significantly different, as | :15:15. | :15:19. | |
you say. Here is a man who had previously not only accused | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
immigrants of coming into the United States of being murderers, drug | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
dealers and rapists, but going further than that and saying that | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
the Mexicans were deliberately sending their worst people across | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
the board into the US, which would seem like a fairly grim attack on | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
the Government of Mexico. Nevertheless, the Mexican president | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
invited Mr Trump to meet him, he has also invited the Democratic rival, | :15:43. | :15:49. | |
Hillary Clinton. I think Donald Tart -- Trump is trying to put it, he is | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
trailing Hillary Clinton in the polls, his forceful rhetoric has got | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
into this stage, it helped him win the primaries. These fans queueing | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
to see him love it, but the poll suggested will not win him the | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
general election. And very belatedly, because it is just over | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
two months away, he seems to be changing his mind and softening his | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
rhetoric. He still says he wants to build a wall. The two site said they | :16:16. | :16:21. | |
did not discuss it Mexico would pay for it but the chances seem slim. | :16:22. | :16:23. | |
However, he is softening his rhetoric. | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
The number of people sleeping rough in England has been steadily rising | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
in the past few years, and according to analysis given | :16:32. | :16:34. | |
to the BBC those people are increasingly likely to be | :16:35. | :16:36. | |
Six years ago a third of people sleeping rough on the streets | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
of London were considered to be in need of psychiatric support. | :16:42. | :16:49. | |
But this year that figure has jumped to almost a half. | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
In the first of two reports our social affairs correspondent, | :16:54. | :16:59. | |
Michael Buchanan, examines a project in East London that tries to help | :17:00. | :17:02. | |
those who find themselves at the margins of society. | :17:03. | :17:05. | |
It is a 21st Century metropolis, a magnet for the mega-rich and home | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
to some of the most marginalised people in our country. | :17:10. | :17:11. | |
A young man lives in here - isolated, unco-operative. | :17:12. | :17:20. | |
The team suspect he has psychiatric problems. | :17:21. | :17:27. | |
Mental health nurse, Fatima Taylor, alongside outreach workers | :17:28. | :17:47. | |
from the homeless charity, Thames Reach, paid for by the local | :17:48. | :17:50. | |
Over three months we followed them as they travelled | :17:51. | :17:56. | |
to the very edges of society, seeking out the most vulnerable. | :17:57. | :17:58. | |
Tonight, a long-term rough sleeper is unwell and has called for help. | :17:59. | :18:02. | |
As a city walks by oblivious, Fatima | :18:03. | :18:04. | |
She suffers from a type of schizophrenia and wants her | :18:05. | :18:17. | |
medication, but the man with her tries to pull her away. | :18:18. | :18:23. | |
The woman fears she'll have no bed tonight if the man disappears. | :18:24. | :18:38. | |
I can put you somewhere to sleep tonight. | :18:39. | :18:45. | |
Put it in your mouth, put it in your mouth. | :18:46. | :18:47. | |
A scuffle, a swallow and Fatima delivers the medication. | :18:48. | :18:50. | |
It'll calm the woman within the hour. | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
So she had to give me that bear hug to take her medication, so I managed | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
Does it upset you, that kind of confrontation? | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
It's a vulnerable situation for me as well, but you have to do | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
what you need to do to help people like these. | :19:07. | :19:12. | |
The outreach team have spotted a new rough sleeper. | :19:13. | :19:19. | |
Hello, we're from the street outreach team, are you all right? | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
His hidden shelter, far from anyone else, a key indicator of ill health. | :19:24. | :19:29. | |
I can see him on the ledge there, all covered up. | :19:30. | :19:31. | |
Psychiatric problems are both a cause and consequence | :19:32. | :19:48. | |
So what you do is you help the most marginalised | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
That they are alive and they really need services. | :19:54. | :20:04. | |
People at the top say it's a lifestyle choice, | :20:05. | :20:11. | |
that people make choices to sleep out here. | :20:12. | :20:13. | |
Weeks later, Fatima and her colleagues return | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
I don't have to justify myself to you or anyone else. | :20:19. | :20:28. | |
Eventually, he comes out, but he's adamant he doesn't want any support. | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
But if you don't talk to somebody, this might be it? | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
Say, for example, I do stay here for the next 10 | :20:37. | :20:43. | |
If I'm allowed to do nothing, I'm not bothering anyone, | :20:44. | :20:49. | |

Michael with his special report on the plight of those sleeping rough. | :21:10. | :21:15. | |
We will have the second of his reports, developing that theme, | :21:16. | :21:16. | |
tomorrow night. The results of early | :21:17. | :21:25. | |
trials for a new treatment for Alzheimer's have been described | :21:26. | :21:27. | |
as 'promising and exciting'. Researchers say that | :21:28. | :21:29. | |
they're testing a drug which targets a protein linked | :21:30. | :21:31. | |
to the development of Alzheimer's. But the findings, published | :21:32. | :21:33. | |
in the journal Nature, need to be confirmed in larger | :21:34. | :21:35. | |
studies before the drug can be Our health correspondent, | :21:36. | :21:38. | |
Sophie Hutchinson, has more details. A brain devastated by Alzheimer's, | :21:39. | :21:41. | |
the normal electrical pathways which transmit information become | :21:42. | :21:43. | |
blocked with plaque, It's an incurable disease, | :21:44. | :21:45. | |
but now a new drug being trialled And scientists at this centre | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
in London, who are about to take part in the next stage of the trial, | :21:51. | :21:57. | |
say it is exciting. If this is successful, | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
if we can show improvement or delay in symptom progression in people | :22:02. | :22:04. | |
with Alzheimer's disease, That changes everything | :22:05. | :22:07. | |
about the way that we think about managing trials, | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
managing treatments for people So what do we know about how | :22:12. | :22:14. | |
effective this drug appears to be? These are the scans of patients | :22:15. | :22:21. | |
at the start of the trial The red areas are a build-up | :22:22. | :22:24. | |
of damaging, sticky proteins called beta-amyloid, characteristic | :22:25. | :22:31. | |
of Alzheimer's patients. And look at the same four patient | :22:32. | :22:34. | |
scans after a year of treatment. No change in the placebo patient, | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
who didn't get the drugs, but the higher the dose, | :22:39. | :22:47. | |
the less red you can see, Well, beta-amyloid causes problems | :22:48. | :22:49. | |
because it builds up in clumps called plaques around | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
the neurons in the brain, blocking the connections and causing | :22:55. | :22:57. | |
them to die. The drug is thought to work | :22:58. | :22:59. | |
by marking the plaques. This alerts the body's immune | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
system, so that it can The drug is unlikely to repair | :23:04. | :23:06. | |
actual damage to the brain, but the hope is it might stop | :23:07. | :23:13. | |
the disease from progressing. That's something Susan | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
Jonas would welcome. She underwent the painful experience | :23:18. | :23:20. | |
of watching her mother's slow mental My friend who came every day, | :23:21. | :23:23. | |

and it was 9.00am in the morning and she hadn't been to bed | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
because she'd, sort of, forgotten. Alzheimer's research is littered | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
with failed drugs that looked If successful, this drug would be | :23:45. | :23:47. | |

voted overwhelmingly to impeach the President, | :24:25. | :24:26. | |
Dilma Rousseff. She's been found guilty of breaking | :24:27. | :24:27. | |
the law by manipulating the budget figures to hide the extent | :24:28. | :24:30. | |
of the country's deficit. She said the vote was a death | :24:31. | :24:32. | |
penalty for democracy. Our correspondent, Wyre Davies, | :24:33. | :24:35. | |
is in Brasilia tonight. Tell us about the significance, | :24:36. | :24:46. | |
first, of the vote for Brazil and what's likely to happen next? Well, | :24:47. | :24:54. | |
it's a huge vote for Brazil. The country's fist female elected | :24:55. | :24:57. | |
President, Dilma Rousseff, dumped from office after a big vote in the | :24:58. | :25:03. | |
Senate. She said on these trumped up charges that she illegally | :25:04. | :25:05. | |
manipulated government accounts she said it's an assault on the | :25:06. | :25:08. | |
country's relatively young democracy. Men of the men sitting in | :25:09. | :25:13. | |
judgment against her are accused of more seerious crimes of corruption | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
and personal enrichment. Dilma Rousseff is out of politics she | :25:19. | :25:21. | |
could return in the future. That is unlikely. She has been replaced by | :25:22. | :25:27. | |
the form er deputy from the centre-right party. He he has been | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
sworn in and vowed to reform the economy. He has flown off to China | :25:32. | :25:35. | |

many deep political and economic problems. Huw. OK, Wyre, thanks very | :25:40. | :25:48. | |
much for bringing us up-to-date in Brasilia. Wyre Davies, our | :25:49. | :25:49. | |
correspondent there. The number of elephants living | :25:50. | :26:00. | |
in the wild in Africa has fallen drastically over the past decade | :26:01. | :26:03. | |
and ivory poachers are mainly responsible, according | :26:04. | :26:06. | |
to an Africa-wide survey extending from Mali, to Ethiopia | :26:07. | :26:07. | |
and to South Africa. The survey concludes | :26:08. | :26:09. | |
there are currently around 380,000 Botswana is home to more than 40% | :26:10. | :26:11. | |
of the continent's elephants, but as our Africa correspondent, | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
Alastair Leithead, reports Some viewers might find some | :26:16. | :26:21. | |
of the images distressing. What other way to count | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
a whole continent of For two years, they've been flying | :26:26. | :26:27. | |
just 300 feet above Africa's savannah grasslands and, | :26:28. | :26:34. | |
sadly, their findings paint This is the cost of the poachers | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
and traffickers serving Asia's We've been flying along this | :26:40. | :26:47. | |
floodplain that divides Namibia and Botswana and all the way along | :26:48. | :26:55. | |
here we've been seeing carcasses of elephants, | :26:56. | :26:58. | |
some four months old, Each year we are losing | :26:59. | :26:59. | |
nearly 30,000 elephants. If this current rate continues, | :27:00. | :27:09. | |
within nine years, Africa could be left with half of the current | :27:10. | :27:13. | |
estimate of African elephants. Botswana has 40% of Africa's | :27:14. | :27:18. | |
elephants, but amid the worst drought in decades they're under | :27:19. | :27:21. | |
increasing pressure. The only way to protect them | :27:22. | :27:24. | |
is to know how many they are and where they go, | :27:25. | :27:28. | |
and that means tranquilizing some It takes just a few minutes | :27:29. | :27:33. | |
for the drugs to take affect. They've got to be careful | :27:34. | :27:53. | |
the trunk's not blocked. This elephant is about 50 years old, | :27:54. | :27:55. | |
given the size and the fact that the collar has to be really big | :27:56. | :27:58. | |

as they can so they can get him This map illustrates | :28:02. | :28:05. | |
the movements of five The tracking data shows how | :28:06. | :28:12. | |
elephants, the dots, used to travel across five | :28:13. | :28:15. | |
countries, but now Elephants clearly have a cognitive | :28:16. | :28:19. | |
ability to understand where they are threatened | :28:20. | :28:26. | |
and where they are safe. In this case, they're seeking refuge | :28:27. | :28:28. | |
and sanctuary in Botswana. These carcasseses are proof | :28:29. | :28:30. | |
that the last true sanctuary for Africa's elephants is, | :28:31. | :28:33. | |

BBC News, Botswana. The Paralympic Games start a week | :28:37. | :28:53. | |
today in Rio, Britain is sending This week we're talking | :28:54. | :28:56. | |
to some of them about their Kadeena Cox is from Leeds and she's | :28:57. | :28:59. | |
aiming to win medals in two different disciplines | :29:00. | :29:03. | |
as a paralympian. Our disability correspondent, | :29:04. | :29:05. | |
Nikki Fox, has been to meet her. Kadeena Cox is aiming to do | :29:06. | :29:07. | |
something very few have achieved - win four gold medals, | :29:08. | :29:13. | |
across two sports, cycling and athletics, | :29:14. | :29:16. | |
in one Paralympic Games. Why did you choose to do two sports | :29:17. | :29:20. | |
in the Paralympics? Yeah, I like to keep | :29:21. | :29:23. | |
things exciting. I was doing quite well in both and, | :29:24. | :29:25. | |
when it came to making a decision, I couldn't do it and I know that | :29:26. | :29:29. | |
I might not necessarily be in this position in four years' time, | :29:30. | :29:32. | |
so I thought I'd take COMMENTATOR: Cox is on the way, | :29:33. | :29:34. | |
pretty much unchallenged. But she hasn't always competed | :29:35. | :29:38. | |
in disability sport. Back in 2012, just four years ago, | :29:39. | :29:40. | |
her dream was to compete Here she is racing in the 100 metres | :29:41. | :29:44. | |
at the British University Championships, the first event held | :29:45. | :29:50. | |
at London's Olympic Stadium. I was diagnosed with a stroke in May | :29:51. | :29:55. | |
2014 and then with MS My body didn't quite do | :29:56. | :30:01. | |
what I wanted it to do. It still doesn't, but it | :30:02. | :30:11. | |
was a lot worse then. I really struggled going from being | :30:12. | :30:14. | |
an 11 second runner to being ANNOUNCER: Representing Great | :30:15. | :30:16. | |
Britain... She dealt with it, becoming | :30:17. | :30:21. | |
World Champion in both sports. What's the difference | :30:22. | :30:24. | |
between Kadeena the athlete Kadeena the athlete is supercool | :30:25. | :30:26. | |
and looks supercool all the time. Whereas Kadeena at home | :30:27. | :30:33. | |
falls over a lot. Multiple sclerosis fluctuates, | :30:34. | :30:38. | |
which means Kadeena has This decides what category | :30:39. | :30:41. | |
she'll compete in and, in the run-up to Rio, | :30:42. | :30:48. | |
it's been changed The first time round it was changed | :30:49. | :30:50. | |
the day before a competition, It was frustrating, so I spent | :30:51. | :30:57. | |
the night upset, but I managed to pick myself up and go out and get | :30:58. | :31:01. | |
the gold medal still. It's tough to deal with, | :31:02. | :31:04. | |
but I just know it's my condition and I'm going to have to deal | :31:05. | :31:07. | |
with it for a very long time. In Rio, she'll be in a tougher | :31:08. | :31:11. | |
class, up against faster athletes. But this is not something that | :31:12. | :31:14. | |
will faze Kadeena who, in just two years, could cross | :31:15. | :31:17. | |
the line from Olympic hopeful Kadeena night we will Tomorrow talk | :31:18. | :31:34. | |
to one of Britain's Paralympians just ahead of those Games. | :31:35. | :31:36. |
