The largest humanitarian crisis since the Second World War - | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
a warning from the UN about millions facing famine. | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
Four countries in Africa and the Middle East need urgent help | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
and the United Nations says time is running out. | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
Now, more than 20 million people across four countries face | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
Without collective and coordinated global | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
efforts, people will simply starve to death. | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
Turkey's president calls the Dutch "Nazi remnants" and "fascists" | :00:30. | :00:40. | |
after Turkey's foreign minister is banned from attending | :00:41. | :00:42. | |
There's been sharp criticism of a judge who warned that women | :00:43. | :00:49. | |
who get drunk could be targeted by rapists. | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
It is Joseph ghosting through and here goes Watson. | :00:55. | :00:56. | |
And England cruise to a second successive Six Nations | :00:57. | :01:00. | |

The world is facing its largest humanitarian crisis since 1945. | :01:23. | :01:29. | |
That's the assessment of the United Nations, | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
which says more than 20 million people face the threat of starvation | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
and famine in four countries in Africa and the Middle East. | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
?3.5 billion are said to be needed by July to avert disaster. | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
This report from our world affairs correspondent, | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
Richard Galpin, contains images you may find distressing. | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
For months now, it has been known that millions of people, | :01:51. | :01:58. | |
including young babies like this one in Yemen have been starving. | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
She was just four months old when a BBC team | :02:02. | :02:03. | |
Across Yemen, hundreds of thousands more children have so little to eat | :02:04. | :02:10. | |
And the threat of mass starvation is affecting three other countries. | :02:11. | :02:21. | |
This is a refugee camp in South Sudan, which, like Yemen, | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
Families forced to flee their homes and left with little to eat. | :02:25. | :02:33. | |
Already, a famine has been officially declared here, | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
with almost half the population in urgent need of help. | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
We stand at a critical point in our history. | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
Already at the beginning of the year, we are facing | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
the largest humanitarian crisis since the creation | :02:50. | :02:50. | |
Now, more than 20 million people across four countries face | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
Without collective and coordinated global efforts, people | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
Of the huge number of people the UN says are now in danger, | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
Nearly 5 million in South Sudan, nearly 3 million in Somalia and more | :03:08. | :03:15. | |
The UN is predicting that without serious help, | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
1.4 million people could die before the end of the year unless more | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
They are calling for ?3.6 billion to tackle this crisis. | :03:25. | :03:34. | |
Aid agencies on the ground say at the moment they don't have enough | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
money to deal with the rising demand for help. | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
A child who suffers from severe acute malnutrition, | :03:44. | :03:45. | |
unless they are treated, there is a high likelihood | :03:46. | :03:47. | |
If they are treated, then they can recover completely | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
and the cost of that treatment can be as little as $80. | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
Apart from conflict, another major cause of the crisis is drought. | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
This is Somalia, which has been particularly hard hit. | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
In this hospital in the capital, Mogadishu, doctors have been | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
treating people who have travelled almost 200 miles | :04:14. | :04:15. | |
In most of the cases the cause is dehydration, | :04:16. | :04:25. | |
We're doing rehydration of the child. | :04:26. | :04:26. | |
And we have given also some antibiotics. | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
With the lives of so many children like these now at risk, | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
the UN believes the global response must be quick. | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
Turkey and the Netherlands are locked in a furious | :04:39. | :04:46. | |
diplomatic row tonight after Turkey's President Erdogan | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
described the Dutch as "Nazi remnants" and "fascists" | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
after his foreign minister was banned from travelling | :04:54. | :04:55. | |
to Rotterdam to attend a rally on his behalf. | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
The Dutch Prime Minister said Mr Erdogan's remarks were "crazy". | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
From Istanbul, our correspondent Mark Lowen sent this report. | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
They love his nationalism, his bluntness, | :05:08. | :05:09. | |
and today Recep Tayyip Erdogan doled it out. | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
After his Foreign Minister was blocked from landing | :05:16. | :05:17. | |
in the Netherlands, President Erdogan hit back | :05:18. | :05:19. | |
at the Dutch, his diplomacy typically undiplomatic. | :05:20. | :05:26. | |
TRANSLATION: They don't know anything about politics | :05:27. | :05:28. | |
They are Nazi remnants, they are fascists. | :05:29. | :05:38. | |
The Foreign Minister had wanted to rally Turkish voters | :05:39. | :05:40. | |
before a referendum on boosting Mr Erdogan's powers. | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
But with the Dutch election next week, | :05:47. | :05:48. | |
the government there feared it could provoke tension | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
and feed the anti-immigrant Geert Wilders. | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
On the campaign trail, the Dutch Prime Minister | :05:56. | :05:57. | |
said he wouldn't give in Turkish blackmail. | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
he made clear that he threatened the Netherlands with sanctions, | :06:01. | :06:08. | |
and of course we cannot negotiate under such threats. | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
So then we decided, the Foreign Minister, | :06:12. | :06:13. | |
the French Prime Minister and myself in a conference call, | :06:14. | :06:15. | |
that it was better for him not to come to the Netherlands. | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
His country having been occupied by the Nazis, | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
Mr Rutte reacted bluntly to the fascist comparison. | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
I understand they're angry, but this is of course way out. | :06:26. | :06:32. | |
Germany too was branded Nazis by Mr Erdogan | :06:33. | :06:34. | |
unprecedented language among Nato allies. | :06:35. | :06:42. | |
President Erdogan has an advantage with Europe, | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
Turkey the most active route for migrants, | :06:46. | :06:47. | |
and its role crucial to stemming the flow. | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
He's used it as a bargaining chip, but the EU is getting | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
increasingly frustrated with the Turkish strongman. | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
This is a classic Erdogan political tactic - | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
painting Turkey as the victim of Western oppression | :07:00. | :07:01. | |
and himself as the protector of national pride. | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
He thrives when he and his country are seen as the underdogs, | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
and this growing stand-off with Europe will rally | :07:10. | :07:10. | |
which he needs for a referendum victory. | :07:11. | :07:17. | |
So vintage Erdogan, pleasing his supporters, | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
horrifying his opponents, and reiterating the sense | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
that polarised Turkey is drifting ever further from Europe. | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
At least 40 people have been killed and over 100 injured following two | :07:28. | :07:36. | |
explosions in the capital, Damascus. | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
It's thought two suicide bombers targeted buses | :07:40. | :07:41. | |
transporting Shiite pilgrims - most of them from Iraq - near | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
It's not clear who was behind the attack. | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
The Brexit Secretary David Davis is urging MPs to ignore proposed | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
changes to the government's Brexit Bill when it's debated | :07:54. | :07:55. | |
The amendments include measures for a meaningful vote on the final | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
Brexit plan and guarantees on protections for EU | :08:02. | :08:03. | |
Article 50 - the formal process for quitting the EU - | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
Our political correspondent, Alex Forsyth, is in Westminster | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
The Brexit Bill, that piece of legislation to allow the government | :08:12. | :08:25. | |
to start negotiations about leaving the EU, is entering its final stages | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
in Parliament next week, the House of Lords had their say, they want | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
changes to the bill to protect the rights of EU citizens in the UK but | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
also a written guarantee that Parliament will get a say on the | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
final terms of the Brexit deal. Tonight there is a clear message | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
from the government- they will not accept those changes. The Brexit | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
Secretary says he wants the deal to go through but with no strings | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
attached. We know Labour will not agree, Jeremy Corbyn's said today is | :08:55. | :09:01. | |
what is crucial is how many Tory MPs are ready to go against the | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
government, there is a verbal reassurance that Parliament will | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
have the final say but the key question is whether that is enough | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
to stave off a rebellion. This is a significant moment, not just a test | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
of the Prime Minister's authority in the House of Commons but once this | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
bill is passed, Theresa May will be able to push the button and start | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
the process which will end with the UK's departure from the European | :09:26. | :09:27. | |
Union. The Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, | :09:28. | :09:29. | |
has prompted anger from within his party after saying it would be | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
"absolutely fine" if a second referendum was held | :09:33. | :09:34. | |
on Scottish independence. The party later issued a statement | :09:35. | :09:36. | |
clarifying its position, saying it But it added that it was not the job | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
of Westminster to block referendums. A female judge has been criticised | :09:40. | :09:48. | |
after warning women who get drunk that they are putting themselves | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
in danger of being Lindsay Kushner QC said | :09:52. | :09:53. | |
what she called 'disinhibited Her comments have been | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
described by campaigners Jailed for six years | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
for what police described Ricardo Rodriguez was found guilty | :10:03. | :10:10. | |
of two counts of rape, but, sentencing, | :10:11. | :10:21. | |
judge Lindsey Kushner She said girls are perfectly | :10:22. | :10:23. | |
entitled to drink themselves into the ground but should be aware | :10:24. | :10:34. | |
of potential defendants to rape gravitate towards girls | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
who have been drinking. If push comes to shove, | :10:39. | :10:40. | |
a girl who has been drunk is less likely to be believed than | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
one who is sober at the time. While many might see her comments | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
as useful advice, others believe | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
this is a backwards step. I'm very anxious that whatever | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
message she meant to send, it's very clear that what it | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
has sent is the message that there is not much | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
point in reporting. Whatever amount of drink you've had, | :11:04. | :11:05. | |
do report, you will be treated this woman now helps | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
others through the ordeal. It makes all of us really | :11:11. | :11:17. | |
quite angry, and it's one thing to go around | :11:18. | :11:25. | |
making these comments when you sit in a court room all day, | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
and you are engaging in one aspect Our society. But I suggest you do | :11:32. | :11:42. | |
research first or engage with people who have experienced this. Many will | :11:43. | :11:54. | |
question who is to be put in the spotlight, the victims or the | :11:55. | :11:55. | |
perpetrators. Now, with all the sport, | :11:56. | :11:57. | |
here's Karthi Gnanasegaram England have retained | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
the Six Nations title after an emphatic 61 points to 21 | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
win over Scotland. The victory for Eddie Jones' side | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
also means they have equaleed New Zealand's world record | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
for consecutive Test wins. England arrived at this match | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
unbeaten as all these But they have won their games | :12:14. | :12:23. | |
in the Six Nations The team which has really excelled | :12:24. | :12:30. | |
and found a new level in the tournament, | :12:31. | :12:39. | |
that was Scotland. So much can change once | :12:40. | :12:40. | |
the anthems have been sung. A minute into the game, | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
bottom of the screen, a dangerous tackle on Elliot Daly | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
by Fraser Brown. The sin bin for him and Daly's | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
game was soon over. If there was a glimmer of space | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
in the Scotland defence, England had a man to exploit it, | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
Jonathan Joseph, gone. Scotland were stretched, worse | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
when they lost players to injury, even worse when Jonathan Joseph got | :13:00. | :13:02. | |
the ball again. Now, finally, says the coach, | :13:03. | :13:10. | |
this is what I told you we could do. Scotland battled, but the game | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
was gone before half-time. In the second half, Joseph through, | :13:14. | :13:20. | |
almost at a stroll. 61 points was the final measure | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
of England's control. The Six Nations secured, | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
England want more. This is a once-in-a-lifetime | :13:28. | :13:40. | |
opportunity and we are pleased with the Six Nations champions but the | :13:41. | :13:42. | |
Grand Slam is something we are looking forward to. | :13:43. | :13:45. | |
It takes one win to lift the Calcutta Cup, it takes 19 | :13:46. | :13:48. | |
consecutive Test victories to set a new world record. | :13:49. | :13:50. | |
In the women's Six Nations, England maintained their 100% record | :13:51. | :13:58. | |
in the competition as they thrashed Scotland 64-0. | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
England's Kay Wilson scored a record seven tries as they set up | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
a Grand Slam decider against Ireland, who also won today. | :14:06. | :14:08. | |
It's time to pop out of the room if you don't want to know today's FA | :14:09. | :14:15. | |
