Tonight at ten, how shambolic policing played its part | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
in the outcome of the Tunisian beach attack. | :00:08. | :00:13. | |
In June 2015, an Islamist gunman killed 30 British | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
Today the families endorsed the outcome of the inquests. | :00:17. | :00:23. | |
It's particularly heartbreaking to think that if the police | :00:24. | :00:29. | |
had have been called, if the national guard | :00:30. | :00:31. | |
had got there sooner, then lives could have | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
The families of the victims have decided to sue the travel company | :00:34. | :00:39. | |
for not giving sufficient warning of the risks of going to Tunisia. | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
If the tour operator, TUI Thomson, had played their part | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
and said, "Look, you know, there's a risk here," | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
I firmly believe they'd never have gone. | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
We'll have the reaction to the coroner's finding | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
of unlawful killing, as the Tunisian authorities | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
say security has been transformed since the attack. | :01:04. | :01:05. | |
Also tonigh, a pension deal for former BHS workers - | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
Sir Philip Green will contribute ?363 million | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
A senior police officer suggests that some men who view | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
child pornography should be rehabilitated, not prosecuted. | :01:17. | :01:22. | |
A special report on poverty in America, as President Trump | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
prepares to set out his vision for the next four years. | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
And paying for the privilege - there'll be two fee-paying | :01:31. | :01:32. | |
passengers on a flight into space next year. | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
Coming up in Sportsday on BBC News, the Championship title race is | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
hotting up - Brighton and Newcastle were facing each other | :01:41. | :01:42. | |
with a point separating the top two at the start of the evening. | :01:43. | :02:07. | |
who were shot dead by a jihadist militant in Tunisia | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
have announced that they will sue the tour operator TUI. | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
Relatives believe the company did not do enough | :02:17. | :02:18. | |
to warn people about the dangers in Tunisia. | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
At the end of the inquests today, the coroner refused | :02:22. | :02:23. | |
to rule that the company had shown neglect, | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
but he was highly critical of the response of the Tunisian police, | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
as our correspondent Daniela Relph reports. | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
These are the bereaved - for more than a month, | :02:37. | :02:38. | |
they have listened to chilling details of multiple murder. | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
Many of them witnessed their loved ones being killed. | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
The end of this part of the legal process was an important moment. | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
The inquests were about those who tragically lost their lives. | :02:53. | :02:54. | |
They must never be forgotten, and their families hope | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
that no-one else will ever have to suffer the same fate in future. | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
The coroner ruled the 30 British tourists who died that day | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
The inquest has established the facts | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
Holiday-makers here react to the first sounds of shooting. | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
These were people running for their lives. | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
On the beach was the gunman, Seifeddine Rezgui. | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
His first targets had been holiday-makers | :03:27. | :03:28. | |
He then moved to the pool and terrace area, | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
Inside the hotel, he roamed around looking for victims. | :03:34. | :03:41. | |
The court was told that he killed for 16 minutes. | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
One of the marine guard fainted in shock. | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
The coroner today described the emergency response as, | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
"At its best shambolic, at its worst cowardly." | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
This animation shows where each person died. | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
In just about every main area of the hotel, somebody was killed. | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
The families believe the travel company TUI was negligent, | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
but the coroner rejected this, saying there were too many what-ifs | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
and no single thing that could have prevented the attack. | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
Judge Nicholas Lorraine Smith told the families, "The simple but tragic | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
truth in this case is that a gunman armed with a gun and grenades | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
went to that hotel intending to kill as many tourists as he could." | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
Ray and Angie Fisher were two of the victims, | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
killed alongside each other on the beach. | :04:40. | :04:46. | |
Their family believe TUI should have warned | :04:47. | :04:48. | |
If they'd have known the reality, and if the tour operator, | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
TUI Thompson, had played their part and actually said, "Look, you know, | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
there is a risk here," and directed them to that, | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
I firmly believe they'd never have gone. | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
The tour company has always denied it was to blame. | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
and we will need to continue to do so. | :05:07. | :05:15. | |
This terrorist incident left its mark on all of us, | :05:16. | :05:17. | |
and its impact will always be remembered. | :05:18. | :05:19. | |
will now pursue a civil lawsuit against TUI. | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
The coroner will also look at whether he can make any | :05:25. | :05:26. | |
recommendations to help prevent such a massacre ever happening again. | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
As the inquest closed, the coroner told the families | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
of which their loved ones would be proud. | :05:33. | :05:39. | |
Daniela Relph, BBC News, at the Royal Courts of Justice. | :05:40. | :05:48. | |
A total of 38 people were killed on the day in June 2015, | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
The families who attended the inquests | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
have been describing having to relive the events in Sousse. | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
Suzanne Evans lost her son, brother and father. | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
And Cheryl Stollery's husband was killed in the hotel car park. | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
They've been speaking to our correspondent Sarah Campbell. | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
And I say, "Well, you know, I'm still a mum," | :06:10. | :06:17. | |
and I'm thankful of that, that I've still got Owen. | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
The day after this photograph was taken, Suzanne's father Pat, | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
eldest son Joel and her brother Adrian were killed. | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
Only Owen, on the left of the picture, survived. | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
The coroner mentioned your youngest son, Owen, | :06:32. | :06:39. | |
and his extraordinary courage - how is he coping? | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
He's doing well, he's an inspiration to us all. | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
I often say if Owen can get up and go to school | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
then I haven't got any reason why I can't. | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
Cheryl Stollery not only has the loss of her husband John | :06:57. | :07:03. | |
to cope with, but the memories of that day. | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
John was shot as both ran from the gunman. | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
My thought at the time was, "I'm going to die," | :07:11. | :07:12. | |
We were trying to seek refuge, we didn't know where to go, | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
no-one was directing us anywhere, it was just a free-for-all. | :07:19. | :07:25. | |
John was robbed of the respect and dignity by the way he was killed. | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
It's particularly heartbreaking to think that if the police | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
had been called, if the national guard had got there sooner, | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
then lives could have or probably would have been saved. | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
Can anything positive come out of what happened on June 26th 2015? | :07:46. | :07:52. | |
We can never bring the people, those 30 people, back. | :07:53. | :08:00. | |
What we have to do is learn to live with that, to try and move on. | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
There's always going to be people out there | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
who want to impose their will, their beliefs on others. | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
We need to get better at protecting, and looking at ways | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
in which to safeguard, and we can only do that | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
if all the people involved start communicating | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
and working far more closely in partnership. | :08:29. | :08:30. | |
And I will do all I can to try and do my part to make a difference. | :08:31. | :08:41. | |
That was Cheryl Stollery ending that report by Sarah Campbell. | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
Today, the Tunisian authorities have called on the Foreign Office | :08:45. | :08:46. | |
insisting that major security improvements have taken place, | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
and that Tunisia is as safe as many European countries. | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
The number of British visitors to Tunisia | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
has dropped by 90% since the attack. | :08:58. | :08:59. | |
is in the resort of Sousse tonight with the latest. | :09:00. | :09:09. | |
Well, tonight, even now on an empty beach, there are police nearby, but | :09:10. | :09:16. | |
many of the hotels and restaurants in Sousse are closed, or half empty, | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
a legacy of the devastating attack on the beach. Today the Tunisian | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
authorities admitted that the police were not properly prepared, but they | :09:25. | :09:30. | |
said this is a young democracy, a country in transition that needs | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
support. Local people continue to say they are sorry for the loss of | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
British life, and the dead will never be forgotten, but they hope | :09:39. | :09:40. | |
that Tunisia can move on. A new vigilance that was utterly | :09:41. | :09:42. | |
lacking on the day of the attack. Now, permanent checkpoints | :09:43. | :09:49. | |
and patrols by the police The message is clear - | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
"You are safe, it's a new Tunisia." Ministers are looking | :09:53. | :10:01. | |
to brighter days, after tourism was gravely wounded | :10:02. | :10:03. | |
in the carnage on the beach. We improve a lot our security, | :10:04. | :10:11. | |
and we think that tourism will be coming back | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
in the next few months now. We have good indications for | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
summer 2017, and we'd be very happy to see again British coming | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
back to Tunisia. Do you think it's 100% safe? | :10:22. | :10:27. | |
Can you say that? Metal detectors are now standard | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
when you enter hotels - even if you own them, | :10:32. | :10:41. | |
like Mohammed Becheur. where the British holiday-makers | :10:42. | :10:44. | |
were killed on June 26th 2015. He admits security in Tunisia should | :10:45. | :10:55. | |
have been tightened that March, after an attack on tourists | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
in the Bardo Museum. It should have been | :10:59. | :11:00. | |
stricter and stronger. to be honest with you, | :11:01. | :11:02. | |
it should have been. But there is a before 26th June | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
2015, and there is an after - this is not the same | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
country any more. This was the picture | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
when terror came to the beach. Locals say the lone gunman | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
was on the loose for 40 minutes. condemnation of the glaring absence | :11:21. | :11:27. | |
of the security forces. When tourists were being slaughtered | :11:28. | :11:36. | |
here on the sands, police could and should have | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
made an effective response, He said police could have arrived | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
here in minutes with everything they needed | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
to confront the gunman. Instead, they deliberately | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
delayed their arrival. The first officer on the scene | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
stayed outside the main gate that the police | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
were nowhere to be seen. he was on the beach | :11:58. | :12:10. | |
selling rides on jetskis. Here he is chasing the killer, | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
armed only with two ashtrays, TRANSLATION: No-one came, apart | :12:16. | :12:22. | |
from the two guards who did nothing. Then when we ran along | :12:23. | :12:31. | |
the beach over there, there were three national guard | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
boats in the sea. They didn't come until afterwards, | :12:36. | :12:37. | |
when he was killed. At the Riu Imperial Hotel, where | :12:38. | :12:44. | |
the gunman claimed so many lives, they are getting ready | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
to reopen in May, hoping tourists will return | :12:50. | :12:51. | |
to the golden sands. Sunbathers now have | :12:52. | :12:59. | |
company on the beach - for 30 Britons robbed | :13:00. | :13:01. | |
of life on this shore. The day's other main story | :13:02. | :13:08. | |
is that the former owner of BHS, Sir Philip Green, | :13:09. | :13:16. | |
has agreed to pay ?363 million to help fund the gap | :13:17. | :13:19. | |
in the company's pension scheme. The collapse of BHS last year | :13:20. | :13:21. | |
left 19,000 former staff facing the loss of their pensions, | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
and Sir Philip was heavily criticised for his management | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
of the company while the pension deficit | :13:29. | :13:30. | |
grew significantly. Our business editor, Simon Jack, | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
has more details. Last summer, Sir Philip Green | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
made the BHS pensioners a promise. We will sort it, | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
we will find a solution, and I want to give an assurance | :13:43. | :13:45. | |
to the 20,000 pensioners, um, What he was promising to sort | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
was leaving thousands of pensioners short-changed after BHS collapsed, | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
having been sold by Sir Philip a year earlier to a twice-bankrupt | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
retailing novice for just ?1. He has agreed to pay ?363 million | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
of his own money estimated on some measures | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
to be ?571 million deep. So this settlement | :14:10. | :14:17. | |
is not enough to give 19,000 pensioners | :14:18. | :14:19. | |
their full entitlement, but it's better than they would have | :14:20. | :14:21. | |
got in the industry rescue fund. The ordinary members | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
of the pension scheme, there are 19,000, 20,000 of them, | :14:25. | :14:26. | |
do OK out of this, They're slightly better off | :14:27. | :14:28. | |
than they would be by staying in the Pension Protection Fund, | :14:29. | :14:34. | |
but it's at the margin. Anne Bostock worked | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
at BHS for 42 years. but she thinks it could have been | :14:40. | :14:42. | |
sorted out much sooner. I think he should have | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
done it straightaway. He should have been, | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
you know, no questions asked, "I've been found out, | :14:52. | :14:53. | |
I'll sort it." That dark stain you can see | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
up there is all that is left of BHS's flagship store | :14:59. | :15:01. | |
here on Oxford Street, but the debate about the pensions | :15:02. | :15:04. | |
mess left behind, the corporate culture that allowed it | :15:05. | :15:07. | |
all to happen, and Sir Philip Green's | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
behaviour has raged on. Now, he'll be hoping this settlement | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
puts that all behind him. Others will see today | :15:14. | :15:16. | |
as a very significant Sir Philip was vilified | :15:17. | :15:19. | |
by the public and politicians who saw him as a mascot | :15:20. | :15:26. | |
for corporate greed. Today his critic in chief issued | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
this grudging acknowledgement. in getting justice for pensioners | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
and workers at BHS. Pensioners have got a better deal | :15:34. | :15:40. | |
than they would have done - they haven't got everything - | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
but there's a long way to go in the inquiries before | :15:44. | :15:46. | |
Sir Philip Green This settlement was voluntary, | :15:47. | :15:48. | |
but he was being pursued vigorously by regulators, | :15:49. | :15:54. | |
who will now stand down. 363 million is just over | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
10% of his net worth - for his reputation | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
and his knighthood. Whether he can keep either | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
is still not, in his words, sorted. Simon is with me. Sir Philip Green | :16:08. | :16:20. | |
has been vilified for months. Are people today prepared, even | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
grudgingly, to give him credit for this? A little bit of credit. He has | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
always said he would do something to help the pensioners who were | :16:29. | :16:30. | |
shortchanged when the company collapsed. He has done that. He's | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
improved it a bit. The real winners here will be the highly paid staff, | :16:36. | :16:41. | |
his lieutenants back in the day who would have seen their pensions | :16:42. | :16:47. | |
capped at ?30,000. That will no longer apply it is not going into | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
the pension protection fund. The regulator will see it as feather in | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
their cap. They are establishing a precedent to go after a rich former | :16:57. | :17:05. | |
owner to make good of shortchanged promiseses on the pension front. We | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
had advisers on this deal waving through what everyone realised was a | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
doomed transaction to sell it, it will be interesting to see what | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
lessons the Government learns. They are currently drafting proposals on | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
changing the way companies around corporate governance rules. It's | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
interesting to see how many lessons they will learn when they draft | :17:27. | :17:34. | |
those proposals in March. Thank you. Simon Jack there, our Business | :17:35. | :17:36. | |
Editor. A brief look at some of the day's | :17:37. | :17:38. | |
other other news stories. A 21-year-old man from Cardiff has | :17:39. | :17:41. | |
been jailed for life for stabbing his former girlfriend | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
and her partner to death. Andrew Saunders launched the attack | :17:45. | :17:46. | |
early one morning in September last year outside a city centre store | :17:47. | :17:49. | |
where the couple worked. He was said to have spent weeks | :17:50. | :17:51. | |
planning the murders. Staff from Southern Rail, | :17:52. | :17:54. | |
Arriva Rail North and Merseyrail are expected to go on strike | :17:55. | :17:55. | |
on the same day, March 13th, in a dispute over the future | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
of guards on trains. The RMT union opposes | :18:00. | :18:01. | |
plans to introduce Union officials say the move will | :18:02. | :18:03. | |
make services potentially dangerous. In Malaysia, two women are due | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
in court tomorrow to be charged with the murder of the half-brother | :18:09. | :18:11. | |
of North Korea's leader. The women allegedly smeared a deadly | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
chemical over Kim Jong-nam's face They could face the death | :18:16. | :18:18. | |
penalty if convicted. The senior police officer, | :18:19. | :18:28. | |
who takes the lead on issues of child protection, | :18:29. | :18:30. | |
has suggested that people caught viewing indecent images of children | :18:31. | :18:32. | |
should not always face were overwhelmed by | :18:33. | :18:34. | |
the scale of the problem and he said police should focus | :18:35. | :19:00. | |
on the most dangerous paedophiles. Mr Bailey has been speaking | :19:01. | :19:03. | |
to our home editor, Mark Easton. Saying the unsayable, | :19:04. | :19:05. | |
the Chief Constable who believes paedophiles who view images of child | :19:06. | :19:07. | |
sexual abuse should not Simon Bailey argues, | :19:08. | :19:10. | |
with resources stretched, those deemed to pose a very low-risk | :19:11. | :19:12. | |
of physically abusing children might simply be arrested, | :19:13. | :19:15. | |
monitored and rehabilitated rather We are arresting 400 men every month | :19:16. | :19:17. | |
for viewing indecent We are safeguarding 500 | :19:18. | :19:20. | |
children every single month, but we are dealing with the tip | :19:21. | :19:23. | |
of the iceberg. The public will say | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
it's not robust enough. If this is the tip of the iceberg, | :19:27. | :19:27. | |
let's get the iceberg? Right, but I can't - | :19:28. | :19:30. | |
I don't have the resources to get What I'm advocating is a proposal | :19:31. | :19:33. | |
that still manages the risk, Police chiefs fear new and | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
historical child abuse cases 70,000 investigations in a single | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
year, an estimated annual policing cost of ?1 billion and even then | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
just touching the surface, with analysis suggesting half | :19:45. | :19:46. | |
a million people in England and Wales have illegally viewed | :19:47. | :19:49. | |
images of child sexual abuse. How can you be sure that somebody | :19:50. | :19:56. | |
who is at home looking at vile pictures of child abuse is not, | :19:57. | :19:59. | |
the next day, going to go And I can't be | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
absolutely sure, but... Well then, arrest | :20:03. | :20:05. | |
them, deal with them? As I've demonstrated, | :20:06. | :20:06. | |
400 every month is more than any other law enforcement | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
agency is doing, I believe, I have to balance our resources | :20:11. | :20:13. | |
against the whole of the risk. Police in Sussex already visit some | :20:14. | :20:20. | |
individuals found to be viewing online images of child abuse | :20:21. | :20:23. | |
and warn them they face criminal But some survivors believe it's | :20:24. | :20:25. | |
outrageous to even suggest such I think it was an incredibly | :20:26. | :20:31. | |
unhelpful, I would go as far as to say, almost dangerous thing | :20:32. | :20:41. | |
to say, that people who abuse children or who view images and thus | :20:42. | :20:44. | |
pay others to abuse children The Home Office has distanced itself | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
from Chief Constable Bailey's remarks, saying that ministers | :20:48. | :20:50. | |
are clear that strong criminal justice sanctions remain | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
the response when terrible crimes, like viewing images of child sexual | :20:55. | :21:00. | |
abuse online, are committed. Britain is beginning to realise just | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
how huge a problem the sexual abuse of children has been | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
and continues to be. Now even those charged charged | :21:09. | :21:10. | |
with protecting children admit we cannot simply arrest our way | :21:11. | :21:12. | |
to a solution. A police marksman in France | :21:13. | :21:14. | |
accidentally fired his weapon while protecting President Hollande, | :21:15. | :21:29. | |
who was giving a speech The officer's gun went off as he | :21:30. | :21:31. | |
moved position on a nearby roof. Two people were injured | :21:32. | :21:40. | |
when the bullet passed through In four hours' time, | :21:41. | :21:43. | |
Donald Trump will address members of Congress for the first time | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
since he became President, an event broadcast in prime-time, | :21:47. | :21:49. | |
when he's expected to discuss some of the challenges facing | :21:50. | :21:51. | |
his new administration. He came to power promising | :21:52. | :21:54. | |
to repair what he called the "carnage" in America - | :21:55. | :22:00. | |
crime, drugs, gangs and poverty. Our international correspondent, | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
Ian Pannell, reports where a quarter of the population | :22:06. | :22:07. | |
lives in poverty, according to official figures, to assess | :22:08. | :22:10. | |
the scale of the challenge. Say hello to Jackson, | :22:11. | :22:14. | |
a citizen of the wealthiest country the world has ever known, | :22:15. | :22:16. | |
and yet he's clothed in handouts. They have no home of their own | :22:17. | :22:22. | |
and every morning they come to the Manor House charity | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
where the poor of Baltimore meet for a little food, | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
warmth and compassion. What is your message | :22:32. | :22:33. | |
to President Trump? Instead of critiquing | :22:34. | :22:35. | |
us, come help us and you will see we need | :22:36. | :22:41. | |
help - bad. Like much of America, | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
this is a story of two worlds. Baltimore is actually something | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
of a boom town these days, but it doesn't feel like it in many | :22:52. | :22:53. | |
parts of the city. In this economy, there | :22:54. | :22:57. | |
is no trickle down. Baltimore was even more violent | :22:58. | :23:01. | |
than Chicago last year, For some of its residents, | :23:02. | :23:07. | |
this is a city where selling your body or selling drugs | :23:08. | :23:15. | |
is the only job available. If you want to know | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
what poverty in America looks Incredibly, this entire block | :23:21. | :23:22. | |
here is pretty much made up Incredibly, some people are still | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
living in between this, though. Under President Obama poverty grew | :23:27. | :23:36. | |
in America and President Trump says He's going to deal what he calls | :23:37. | :23:38. | |
the "carnage" in America of crime, of drugs, of gangs, of violence | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
and of poverty. Well, there are few places better | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
to try and do that than Baltimore. Marcus Allsop has lived here for 40 | :23:48. | :23:59. | |
years, he repairs the city's homes, an eyewitness to the worst Baltimore | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
has to offer. The poor living are in the single | :24:04. | :24:05. | |
houses, the real houses in Baltimore city where they're generally rat | :24:06. | :24:08. | |
invested regardless of what you do Roaches, mice, I mean, | :24:09. | :24:10. | |
an epidemic in bed bugs. I mean, the neighbourhoods | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
are falling apart, not because the people are bad people, | :24:16. | :24:17. | |
we're underpaid, undereducated and so many of us have been living | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
like this for the second and third generation until we don't | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
even know how to change. This is where it resides, | :24:27. | :24:28. | |
on a bleak row of abandoned homes. This is the end of the line | :24:29. | :24:45. | |
for Americans gripped by poverty. Here we met the last family | :24:46. | :24:48. | |
living on the block. Three generations of the Stewart | :24:49. | :24:51. | |
family are crammed in here. They're months behind on the rent, | :24:52. | :24:53. | |
unpaid bills are piling up. Not surprising, when they have just | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
$30 a day to survive. I love you, be careful. | :24:57. | :25:03. | |
Have a good day. They've been evicted before, | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
forced to live in one of Baltimore's It hurts, it hurts that they have | :25:08. | :25:09. | |
to stay wrapped up in blankets every They don't want to get out | :25:10. | :25:15. | |
of bed because there's no They get bullied in | :25:16. | :25:19. | |
school because of it. They got to where they didn't even | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
want to show their faces outside, but we had no choice but to live | :25:25. | :25:33. | |
there because of the economy. I'm struggling for seven | :25:34. | :25:40. | |
years, seven, hard years. What pressure does that put | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
on your relationship together? Oh, we argue and fight | :25:46. | :25:48. | |
all the time, all the time. I love this woman to death, | :25:49. | :25:50. | |
she's my best friend, but to see her go through the things | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
she goes through, it hurts me. For so many people, this is no | :25:56. | :25:58. | |
longer a land of opportunity, The children who clamour for charity | :25:59. | :26:10. | |
handouts have no American dream. It will be perhaps the greatest | :26:11. | :26:17. | |
challenge for the new President. So ahead of the President's address, | :26:18. | :26:20. | |
let's join our North America editor, The inauguration address was notable | :26:21. | :26:45. | |
for its bleakness of its vision, the talk of carnage. Are you expecting | :26:46. | :26:49. | |
the same tonight? No, I don't think we will hear the word of carnage at | :26:50. | :26:54. | |
all it will be optimistic, talking about the renewal of the American | :26:55. | :26:57. | |
spirit and what can be done when the American people come together. It | :26:58. | :27:01. | |
will be an appeal for unity as well. Conciliatory in tone. We know the | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
things that Donald Trump wants to do. He was to massively increase | :27:06. | :27:11. | |
defence spending. He wants to preserve Medicare policies and | :27:12. | :27:13. | |
social security payments for the elderly. What we don't know what is | :27:14. | :27:17. | |
on the other side of that sheet, where will the axe fall? What are | :27:18. | :27:21. | |
the things he is going to cut? He's not going to get the support of | :27:22. | :27:24. | |
Republicans if they sense that the deficit is going to increase. That | :27:25. | :27:28. | |
said, Donald Trump says the way you do this is you r rev up the economy | :27:29. | :27:33. | |
and increase growth. He wants to put in place the policies that will | :27:34. | :27:37. | |
allow that to happen. There are all sorts of things where he has big | :27:38. | :27:41. | |
difficulties. He wants to cut the Tate Department budget. Over 100 | :27:42. | :27:45. | |
Generals said, don't do that, you can't afford to do that. Obamacare, | :27:46. | :27:52. | |
the affordable Care Actment candidate Trump said it's the | :27:53. | :27:55. | |
easiest thing to replace it and make it a lot cheaper. President Trump | :27:56. | :28:01. | |
last night admitted it's turning out to be fiendishly complicated. | :28:02. | :28:03. | |
Withhold knew that? One other thing, Huw, it has been a month which has | :28:04. | :28:07. | |
been shambolic at times. What he needs to do is that he can turn | :28:08. | :28:13. | |
chaos into accomplishment. Jon, once again, thank you very. | :28:14. | :28:18. | |
Much. Jon Sopel there on Capitol Hill, ahead of that speech by the | :28:19. | :28:19. | |
President. Two amateur treasure hunters have | :28:20. | :28:24. | |
discovered jewellery in a field in Staffordshire which could be | :28:25. | :28:27. | |
the oldest Iron Age gold The three necklaces | :28:28. | :28:29. | |
and a bracelet are believed to be The metal detectorists made | :28:30. | :28:33. | |
the discovery last December. The British Museum has said the find | :28:34. | :28:39. | |
is of "international importance." The US aerospace company, SpaceX, | :28:40. | :28:46. | |
has announced plans to fly two fee-paying passengers | :28:47. | :28:48. | |
around the moon. The mission, planned | :28:49. | :28:51. | |
for the middle of 2018, will be the first manned flight | :28:52. | :28:53. | |
into deep space for over 40 years, although it will not | :28:54. | :28:57. | |
involve a lunar landing. Our science editor, | :28:58. | :28:59. | |
David Shukman, reports. A SpaceX promotion, | :29:00. | :29:02. | |
bold and often boastful, this young company knows how | :29:03. | :29:06. | |
to whip up excitement. The rocket is the Falcon Heavy, | :29:07. | :29:10. | |
it's yet to be launched, this is an animation, | :29:11. | :29:14. | |
but already two tourists are promised seats on it to fly | :29:15. | :29:16. | |
around the moon as early ARCHIVE: Houston, this is America, | :29:17. | :29:18. | |
you can breathe easier... Not since the last Apollo mission, | :29:19. | :29:22. | |
back in 1972, have any humans flown The tourists will not be landing | :29:23. | :29:26. | |
on it, but if their trip happens, they'll get amazing views and space | :29:27. | :29:32. | |
scientists say this is plausible. We are really now entering | :29:33. | :29:37. | |
the era where space Maybe not for another 10, 15, | :29:38. | :29:40. | |
20 years for ordinary people to be able to afford it, | :29:41. | :29:49. | |
it will be the playground The man behind SpaceX | :29:50. | :29:52. | |
is Elon Musk and when I met him, he spelled out a startling vision | :29:53. | :29:59. | |
of travel beyond earth. I think we're really entering | :30:00. | :30:02. | |
a new era of space travel There's a history of SpaceX | :30:03. | :30:05. | |
promises running late, 10 days ago, it landed | :30:06. | :30:11. | |
a huge rocket, significant because reusing spacecraft | :30:12. | :30:15. | |
will make launches cheaper. Last year, one of its rockets blew | :30:16. | :30:19. | |
up, but SpaceX quickly got back to its key business of launching | :30:20. | :30:24. | |
satellites and this week its Dragon capsule delivered cargo | :30:25. | :30:29. | |
to the International Space Station. A trip to the moon is obviously | :30:30. | :30:32. | |
harder, but critics say it Well, it's going to give two rich | :30:33. | :30:35. | |
people a thrill of a lifetime. This is not going to do any science, | :30:36. | :30:40. | |
it's not really exploration, it's repeating missions that have | :30:41. | :30:43. | |
been done 40 plus years before. So it is mainly, | :30:44. | :30:48. | |
basically, an adventure. A thrill ride that | :30:49. | :30:52. | |
demonstrates a new capability. Well, tourists visiting | :30:53. | :30:55. | |
the International Space Station have We don't know who the two passengers | :30:56. | :31:04. | |
are, but if they do get there, they may pave the way | :31:05. | :31:15. | |
for others to follow. Quick reminder. A few hours before | :31:16. | :31:25. | |
