"Outraged and heartbroken", Michelle Obama condemns the kidnapping of the | :00:07. | :00:11. | |
Nigerian schoolgirls. Using her husband's weekly radio address, she | :00:12. | :00:16. | |
calls the abduction an "unconscionable act". In these | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
girls, Barack and I see our own daughters. We see their hopes and | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
their dreams. We can only imagine the anguish their parents are | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
feeling right now. After eight years, a high loss of life, and | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
costly involvement, British troops pull out of their last outpost in | :00:35. | :00:40. | |
Afghanistan's Helmand Province. And Take That, popstars hit with a | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
multi-million-pound bill as a judge finds they'd invested in a tax | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
avoidance scheme. Hello, very good evening to you. The | :00:47. | :01:08. | |
First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama, has said she and the | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
President are "outraged and heartbroken" over the kidnapping of | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
almost 300 girls from their school in Nigeria. Mrs Obama took the rare | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
step of delivering her husband's weekly radio address to condemn the | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
abduction calling it an "unconscionable act". In Nigeria, | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
local hunters are expected to join the search. From Abuja, Mark Doyle | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
reports. It's several weeks since the more than 200 schoolgirls were | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
taken by the militant Islamist group called Boko Haram. It's the latest | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
incident in a bitter war with the Nigerian authorities. For the | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
families of the teenage girls, the agony continues. Michelle Obama, who | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
today presented her husband's weekly address to the nation, for the first | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
time, used the occasion to highlight the girls' plight. My husband and I | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
are outraged and heartbroken over the kidnapping of more than 200 | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
Nigerian girls from their school domitory in the middle of the night. | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
What happened in Nigeria was not an isolated incident. It is a story we | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
see every day, as girls around the world risk their lives to pursue | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
their ambitions. Offers to help find the girls have come from several | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
countries. The US has a team on the ground, and a small group of British | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
experts have also flown to Nigeria to give assistance in the hunt. It's | :02:36. | :02:43. | |
a good thing they are worried about and it shown concern and are sending | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
people to help us out. We are happy about it because all we want is | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
results. I think this is the beginning to an end of the whole of | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
Boko Haram issues. Because this whole Chibok kidnapping has brought | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
the whole world to Nigeria. It was a combination of the outrage of | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
ordinary Nigerians, and pressure from the international community, | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
that perhaps goaded the Nigerian authorities to say more about what | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
they are doing to rescue the girls. Many Nigerians are deeply sceptical | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
about the Nigerian military's efforts to do just that and end the | :03:18. | :03:24. | |
insurgency ripping through the north-east of this country. | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
Demonstrations calling for the release of the girls have now spread | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
across the world. Protests like this won't bother the battle hardened | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
Islamists of Boko Haram. They would, however, be worried if the | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
international community began giving effective military support to the | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
Nigerian army. Mark Doyle, BBC News. Abuja. British troops have now | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
pulled out of last outpost in Helmand Province in Afghanistan | :03:57. | :03:58. | |
ahead of a complete withdrawal from the main base at Bastion in just a | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
few months' time. Questions still remain over the high loss of life, | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
costly involvement, and what definition of success the eight-year | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
operation can claim. The Defence Secretary, Philip Hammond, visited | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
the outpost in the days before it closed. The BBC's Afghanistan | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
correspondent, David Loyn, has been with him. For the last time, a US | :04:19. | :04:26. | |
helicopter lands on the rough Helmand landscape carrying a British | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
Defence Secretary. Philip Hammond came to see troops who had been | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
sleeping in the open for some days now, with only bottled water to wash | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
in since the buildings and tents have been taken away. This last | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
outpost was a small, highly secret outpost on a high hill. Britain no | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
longer needs to monitor what is going on in Helmand. Given the high | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
loss of life, cost and dubious success of this operation, Helmand | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
is still the source of most of the world's illegal heroin. Would the | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
public support involvement in future conflicts? I sense that there is a | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
touch of war weariness. I think the British people are very clear that | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
we came into Afghanistan to protect our own national interest, first and | :05:12. | :05:19. | |
foremost. Part of protecting that interest is building a credible | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
Afghan state for the future. Having stability in this part of the world | :05:24. | :05:25. | |
is very much in Britain's national interest. Troops have been leaving | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
by helicopter and by road every day. Until this is just a bear hill | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
again. Britain's long costly engagement in Helmand is drawing to | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
an end. The close sure of this last forward base leaves only camp | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
BAssian as Britain's base in Helmand. Within a few months, that | :05:45. | :05:51. | |
will close too. The main business for British forces now in Bastion is | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
the cleaning of kit to bring home. 60% has already gone. Much is | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
locally sold or disposed of. Afghan forces will then secure Helmand on | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
their own. Every day, for still a few months to come, there will be | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
British soldiers going out on operations here. David Loyn, BBC | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
News, in Helmand Province. Gary Barlow and two other members of the | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
band Take That face having to repay a reported ?20 million in tax. A tax | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
judge ruled that a scheme set up to invest in the music industry was in | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
fact "predominantly" designed to avoid tax. Andrew Verity reports. | :06:28. | :06:35. | |
# Tonight this could be, the greatest night of our lives... # | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
After years of musical success and organising the Queen's Diamond | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
Jubilee concert, Gary Barlow has been fated by the Prime Minister, | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
awarded an OBE and promoted as a national treasure. In 2010 he became | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
the latest among hundreds of wealthy individuals to invest in a scheme | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
which purportedly supported up-and-coming musicians. Barlow and | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
fellow band members, Howard Donald and Mark Owen became directors of | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
Larkdale LLP, a partnership arranged with a company called Icebreaker, | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
which had done radio 50 similar schemes for other wealthy | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
individuals. Larkdale recorded losses of ?25 million in the same | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
year. Which can be offset against other income to slash tax bills. | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
Gary Barlow was just the best-known among hundreds of wealthy investors | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
who put their money into these schemes. Over the course of a few | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
years they recorded losses of more than ?300 million. Which makes them | :07:35. | :07:42. | |
look like a terrible investment. Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs argued | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
they weren't real, artificial to save their investors on tax. The | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
courts have agreed. We need a sumify caution of the tax system. We | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
needlet loopholes to be eradicated so people can feel everyone is | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
genuinely paying their fair share. When the Times exposed Jimmy Carr's | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
legal tax avoidance two years ago, David Cameron condemned it as | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
"morally unacceptable." So far, at least, no such strong words for Gary | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
Barlow. Andrew Verity, BBC News. An extraordinary row has broken out | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
between Nick Clegg and Michael Gove over the funding of school places. | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
Allies of Nick Clegg have accused the Education Secretary of "lunacy" | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
and "zealotry". Michael Gove's allies have branded the Lib Dems as | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
"pathetic" and "risible". Let us get more with our political | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
correspondent, Iain Watson. The language is certainly strong. What | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
is going on here? It is strong language, isn't it? Unprecedented | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
attack on policy and personality actually between partners in the | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
same coalition government. The detail on the policy. What the | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
attack is about. Effectively, sources in the Lib Dems are saying | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
that last December their schools minister, David Laws was overruled | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
by Michael Gove. Michael Gove poor ?400 million from the basic needs | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
budget. A budget to help local authorities expand a number of | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
school places. Lib Dem sources said this money was help to support free | :09:07. | :09:16. | |
schools. Michael Gove said, no, the money for school places will be | :09:17. | :09:26. | |
higher in 2 1 16/2017. There is the language being used. I will give you | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
quotes. Lib Dem sources saying, "Michael Gove is obsessed with his | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
free school experiment he is willing to see children struggle to get | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
suitable school places. It's nothing short of lunacy" says this Lib Dem | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
source. Michael Gove's office say, "it's a pathetic attempt from the | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
Lib Dems to divert attention from their botched free school meals | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
policy." This was about the school meals the Lib Dems were keen on and | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
who appointed the school inspectorate. With a year to the | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
general election we are seeing a wider willingness I think by both | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
coalition partners to air their grievances and disagreements in | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
public. We shall see. Thank you. South Yorkshire Police have appealed | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
for a hit-and-run driver to come forward after a teenage girl was | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
killed and another seriously injured in Sheffield. 14-year-old Jasmyn | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
Chan was hit by the car yesterday evening. The injured girl, who is | :10:26. | :10:34. | |
12, is being treated in hospital. Ukraine's acting President has | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
warned people in the east of the country they risk stepping "into the | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
abyss" if they vote for self rule in a referendum to be carried out | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
tomorrow. He said it could lead to the complete destruction of the | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
economy. The warning comes as the leaders of Germany and France say | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
the poll would be illegal and there will be further EU sanctions against | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
Russia if presidential elections fail to take place in Ukraine later | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
this month. From Donetsk, Sarah Rainsford reports. Emerging from | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
deep under ground in Donetsk. This is Ukraine's industrial east, many | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
of these coalminers will vote in a referendum on independence. For | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
them, it's become a protest vote against the government in Kiev after | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
weeks of violence. TRANSLATION: You can't wage war | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
against the people, but they've done it. They have gone past the point of | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
no return. TRANSLATION: I'm going to vote, but | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
not to join or break away from anyone. We should sort our problems | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
out together. This isn't just about peaceful protest. Armed militia have | :11:38. | :11:43. | |
seized control of official buildings across this region am they do have | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
substantial support. They claim to defend the rights of Russian | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
speakers against a nationalist government in Kiev. There are | :11:53. | :12:01. | |
Ukrainian speakers here too, like the headmistress, she says her | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
school has been a polling station for decades, but she sees this vote | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
as illegal. TRANSLATION: This referendum will | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
not go-ahead in my school. They have threatened to killed me and my | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
family. I won't back down. So the rebels have been forced to | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
improvise. This is one of the make-shift polling stations set up | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
here for this vote. This building is usually a private office. In other | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
places we know people will even vote in tents. The conditions for holding | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
this referendum are clearly extraordinary. It's organisers say | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
this is the only way to decide this region's future. The vote for | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
independence is just the first step. What follows is far from clear. | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
Sarah Rainsford, BBC News, Donetsk. It's one of the most talked about | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
and successful TV shows in the world. But the fantasy drama series, | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
Game of Thrones, is also providing an unexpected boost closer to home. | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
Filmed at studios in Belfast and on locations across Northern Ireland, | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
the show is part of a big growth in the arts and entertainment industry | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
there. With more from Belfast our chief economics correspondent, Hugh | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
Pym. Welcome to Hollywood near Belfast. On the face of it, there is | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
not much in common with the capital of the American film industry until | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
that is you walk through a door on this quiet and unassuming suburban | :13:23. | :13:30. | |
street. You have come to the wrong place! Much of the editing for Game | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
of Thrones happens right here at a local production company. Thanks to | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
that and other TV dramas, trainees like Aaron have got their first | :13:43. | :13:44. | |
breaks in the industry. Four years when I just graduated I applied for | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
company positions all over the world, in Canada, England, Europe, | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
everywhere, and it's kind of surreal that I ended up getting a job that's | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
15-minutes away from where I grew up. With many of the film locations | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
in Northern Ireland, a wide range of jobs and opportunities have been | :14:04. | :14:06. | |
created for a local industry which is growing in stature and | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
confidence. The effect that Game of Thrones and all of the other drama | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
series that are coming in has been huge. I mean, you know, we now have | :14:16. | :14:23. | |
a really talent, creative workforce here in Northern Ireland. In that | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
building some of Game of Thrones was filmed. Here in Titanic Quarter. The | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
former yard where the Titanic was built. It's a magnet for creative | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
industries and tourism. All of that has created jobs. The number of jobs | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
in arts, entertainment and recognise correctliation in Northern Ireland | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
was up 12.4% over the six years to December 2013. Faster growth than | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
the UK total, up 4.3%. Experts say these industries have had a wider | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
impact on Northern Ireland's economy. By portraying Northern | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
Ireland in a positive light, that creates tourist benefits that | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
stimulated further employment. That in turn created jobs in hospitality. | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
By creating a positive image everyone benefits, in the same way | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
as for many years by creating a negative image did economic damage. | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
Tours like this for fans wanting to see the show's scenic back drop | :15:20. | :15:29. | |
shows the growth. There is some catching up to do, but partly thanks | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
to the showbusiness effect it's moving in the right direction. Hugh | :15:34. | :15:39. | |
Pym, BBC News, Belfast. You can see more on all of today's stories | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
including of course the Eurovision result on the BBC News Channel | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
tomorrow morning. Andrew Marr's guest will include the Prime | :15:48. | :15:49. | |
Minister, David Cameron, that is on BBC One at 9.00pm. -- 9.00am. That | :15:50. | :15:56. | |
is all from me, have a very good evening. Goodbye. | :15:57. | :15:59. | |
Hello there, today was pretty wild for May. We had some very heavy | :16:00. | :16:11. | |
showers and gale force winds which brought trees down across parts of | :16:12. | :16:18. | |
south Wales. Sunday will be a mixture of sunshine and showers. | :16:19. | :16:21. | |
Lots of showers to start Sunday morning as we head into the | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
afternoon. We should see sunshine developing as well in | :16:27. | :16:27. |
