The World Health Organisation says there could be 4 million cases of | :00:13. | :00:30. | |
Zika in the Americas this year. The level of alarm is extremely high. | :00:31. | :00:39. | |
The Iranians president -- president of Iran has continued his visit to | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
France. We will bring you up-to-date on the Disneyland Paris story, | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
French police have carried a man who was carrying two guns, ammunition, | :00:50. | :00:59. | |
and a copy of the Koran. More than 100 children have drowned after | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
trying to get to Turkey on this boat. As you are watching, if you | :01:03. | :01:12. | |
use the hashtag, if you have any questions to ask, I will try to get | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
you an answer. The World Health Organization has | :01:16. | :01:31. | |
set up a Zika virus "emergency And that 3-4 million people | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
will be affected this year. This virus is already linked | :01:35. | :01:43. | |
to thousands of babies in Brazil Here's some of what | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
the WHO said earlier. Last year the virus was detected in | :01:46. | :01:58. | |
the Americas where it is now spreading explosively. As of today | :01:59. | :02:06. | |
cases have been reported in 23 countries and territories in the | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
region. The level of alarm is extremely high. For all these | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
reasons I have decided to convene an emergency committee under the | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
international health regulations. The committee will meet in Geneva on | :02:22. | :02:28. | |
Monday the 1st of February and I'm asking the committee for advice on | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
the appropriate level of international concern and four | :02:32. | :02:38. | |
recommended measures that should be undertaken in affected countries and | :02:39. | :02:38. | |
elsewhere. The last time an international | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
emergency was declared was for the Ebola | :02:42. | :02:43. | |
outbreak in West Africa. Our correspondent has been talking | :02:44. | :02:52. | |
about the differences of the viruses. It is devastating for the | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
parents who have had babies with undeveloped brains and small heads, | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
but this is not a virus which is transmitted person-to-person on any | :03:02. | :03:09. | |
great scale, like we saw with Ebola. They will decide in Geneva on Monday | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
whether this should be declared a public health emergency as we saw | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
with Ebola in the summer of 2014. If it is, a range of different things | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
can be brought in to speed up the response. It will be decided whether | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
this needs a global response and it will speed up the development of | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
vaccines and treatments, and the hope will be that it will help to | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
put a lid on this as quickly as possible. Viewers who knew nothing | :03:39. | :03:45. | |
about the Zika a couple of weeks ago, the perception is the story has | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
escalated very fast, was that the case? The World Health Organisation | :03:52. | :03:58. | |
made a point of saying that they knew about this in May, a new cases | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
of Zika had come to Brazil, and at the end of last year they were | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
becoming aware of babies being born with microcephaly, abnormally small | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
heads, this is not something which has come along without any warning | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
at all. There were warning signs at the end of last year, but in the | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
last few months we have seen an explosion of a large number of Zika | :04:24. | :04:31. | |
cases and that is not a problem in itself, but the worrying thing is | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
the link to babies being born with defects. What will the team do, the | :04:35. | :04:41. | |
one that has been set up? They will decide whether this is a public | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
health emergency, and then they will tell the people what to do next in | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
terms of treatments and cures, what is potentially in the pipeline and | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
how quickly they can come online to what is the practical advice. | :04:55. | :05:01. | |
Because these are mosquitoes they are very difficult to control, the | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
advice at the moment is for pregnant women to stay clear stagnant water, | :05:06. | :05:12. | |
and do not go out in the day, that is when they bite, and to use insect | :05:13. | :05:19. | |
repellent and it'll be interesting to see what they can recommend apart | :05:20. | :05:26. | |
from that. One person ask what impact will this have on the Olympic | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
Games? The authorities have said they are carrying out a number of | :05:31. | :05:38. | |
measures to tackle the Zika virus. Over 200,000 troops have been | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
deployed in certain areas, huge numbers of areas have been fumigated | :05:43. | :05:49. | |
and areas where mosquitoes breed are being fumigated. There is no | :05:50. | :05:59. | |
certainty, though. Obviously Brazil will be hosting this big event in a | :06:00. | :06:06. | |
few months. This story is about the Americas and several countries are | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
recommending that women delay plans to have babies will stop that is not | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
an option if you are already pregnant, though. Such as the people | :06:14. | :06:21. | |
in this group in Brazil. I got Zika in the first few weeks of my | :06:22. | :06:23. | |
pregnancy but no one worried about it. When the link was made, we | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
panicked we started looking for any information could find. Now I'm more | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
relaxed because and 36 weeks pregnant but I only wear trousers | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
and I only leave home to go for yoga and my medical exams. In theory, | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
I've had it, and I cannot catch it again, but the advice is very vague | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
and I'm not taking any chances. It is not a constant concern, but the | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
other day I went out and a bunch of mosquitoes attacked my leg. I was so | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
tense, and this is something that gets to you, my family and friends | :06:58. | :07:04. | |
are very worried. I try not to keep thinking about the Zika story and to | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
enjoy my legacy, a magical period, I'm taking precautions like mosquito | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
repellent, but without getting too anxious. We really believe in giving | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
our babies that energy so I tried to keep the bad thoughts away and to | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
think only of good thoughts. There is more background information | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
regarding the Zika virus on the website. I was told I accidentally | :07:30. | :07:37. | |
set the Olympics was coming up in a few hours, but clearly it is coming | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
up in a few months! -- accidentally said. | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
Police in France have arrested an armed man | :07:50. | :07:51. | |
They say he was carrying two guns, a box of ammunition and a copy | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
The theme park is in the east of Paris. It is very popular. Over 40 | :07:56. | :08:02. | |
million people visit every year. The guns were detected by a scanner | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
during a security check at the entrance to a Disneyland | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
hotel, near the French capital. We can speak to a journalist in | :08:11. | :08:24. | |
Paris. What can you tell us about this woman? Who are they looking | :08:25. | :08:31. | |
for? Police believe that the man was accompanied by a woman, and she fled | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
and they tried to arrest her, they made one arrest in the Paris area. | :08:37. | :08:43. | |
They then released the woman they had arrested after establishing that | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
she was not in fact the man's companion. They say they are still | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
looking for a woman they believed was with him. What details do we | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
have about the kind of weapons he had and the animation he had? Two | :08:58. | :09:05. | |
small calibre handguns with small bullets to go with them, and they | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
were discovered when the man allowed his bag to go through an x-ray | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
machine which seems rather strange. Given that he must have known that | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
the guns would be seen. He then offered no resistance when he was | :09:20. | :09:26. | |
taken aside by security staff and the police arrived rapidly and | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
arrested him. They have not dive oldest his identity, but they do say | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
that he has no police or criminal record -- they have not dive -- I | :09:36. | :09:44. | |
have not revealed his identity. They say he is of European origin. Could | :09:45. | :09:53. | |
he have owned these weapons legally? They could be legal, yes, but the | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
police have not said whether he had a licence. He apparently told | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
investigators that he was carrying them for his own protection because | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
he thought security is such comparison he might need them. -- is | :10:08. | :10:14. | |
such in Paris that he might need them. The police do not seem to be | :10:15. | :10:21. | |
taking this that seriously, because for the time being the case is being | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
handled by criminal prosecutors rather than going to a specialist | :10:26. | :10:32. | |
anti-terrorist unit. Obviously the public does fear that this man might | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
have been planning something similar to the November attacks in Paris in | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
which 130 people were killed. Those attacks were claimed by the | :10:41. | :10:47. | |
so-called Islamic State. Thanks for joining us. We will stay in the | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
city. The Presidents of Iran and France | :10:52. | :10:53. | |
were making all the right noises Hassan Rouhani arriving hit, being | :10:54. | :11:16. | |
greeted by President Hollande. There was a polite disagreement over | :11:17. | :11:24. | |
whether wine would be served. But everyone was so welcoming, these | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
were thousands of protesters trying to draw attention to what they say | :11:28. | :11:38. | |
are human rights abuses in Iran. The reason for this visit, lots and lots | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
of deals, 30 have been signed including two President Hollande. -- | :11:43. | :11:52. | |
Bertie have been signed according to President Hollande. | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
118 planes are going to be ordered from Airbus. | :11:56. | :11:57. | |
Peugeot has signed up for a joint venture with an Iranian | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
car producer - that's worth E400 million. | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
Next - here's some of the press conference for you. | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
TRANSLATION: Thanks to the good relations we had in the past, French | :12:09. | :12:17. | |
companies come to Iran to start from scratch, we have got to catch up on | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
the last two years. The Prime Minister signed some deals and this | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
afternoon in front of President Hollande deals were also signed, and | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
this is proof that the government and also the private sector have a | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
real desire to work together and working together is in the interests | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
of both our countries. TRANSLATION: This is a new chapter in our | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
relations and I want this relationship to be useful, useful to | :12:41. | :12:47. | |
our countries, useful to the region which is marked by war and | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
tragedies, and I would like us to apply rigorous leave the nuclear | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
agreement on each party involved should respect its responsibility | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
and we should guarantee that we can guarantee everything that has been | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
said, that it can be accomplished. It is the condition for everything. | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
-- vigorously. This is the details of the Airbus | :13:08. | :13:20. | |
deal. The aeroplanes were mainly bought, more than 37 years ago | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
before the Islamic Revolution of 1979, Iran needs these error planes, | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
this is a memorandum of agreement, this is not a contract -- these | :13:31. | :13:37. | |
aeroplanes. We need more details. It is worth $25 billion, which is a | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
large amount of money. It is a big day, very good day for Iranians. | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
What about the role of France? It is hard to imagine this happening in | :13:46. | :13:53. | |
London. Why is France in this position? France has been one of the | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
biggest partners of Iran before the sanctions, Peugeot was very involved | :13:59. | :14:08. | |
in Iranian car industry before the sanctions, they were producing half | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
a million cars per year. It was much easier to get back to those | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
countries that were already involved in the Iranian economy, rather than | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
starting from scratch, with countries that have not been | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
involved. The mood music was good, but when President Hollande was | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
talking about Lebanon and how they have been talking frankly, about | :14:29. | :14:36. | |
bringing peace to countries, is hard not to raise an eyebrow, they have | :14:37. | :14:42. | |
opposed opinions regarding Syria. That is one of the sticking points, | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
Iran supports President Assad, and France opposes him. It is important | :14:48. | :14:56. | |
that Hassan Rouhani said that Iran will play an important role in the | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
talks with Syria and they are accepting the role of Iran, because | :15:01. | :15:06. | |
until recently Iran were not even invited to the Syrian talks, and now | :15:07. | :15:09. | |
they are accepting that they should be part of those talks. We have | :15:10. | :15:22. | |
questions from all over the world on Iran coming in from the cold. | :15:23. | :15:28. | |
Financially and economically, at least, into the rest of the world. | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
You can find more about this on the Facebook page. | :15:33. | :15:42. | |
We've got the story of Jordan Cox who had to get from one side | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
of England to the other - and found the cheapest way | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
British police have dropped their investigation into allegations | :15:49. | :16:03. | |
of physical and sexual abuse linked to the failed UK charity, | :16:04. | :16:06. | |
The charity - which always denied the claims - | :16:07. | :16:18. | |
shut down in August after questions were raised | :16:19. | :16:20. | |
My colleague Lucy Manning has spoken to its founder Camilia | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
If a charity has been accused of abusing the children in its care, | :16:25. | :16:32. | |
that is the kiss of death, but these are not real allegations. You also | :16:33. | :16:39. | |
had money problems? No, we had enough money confirmed in order to | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
be able to run the charity, I want everyone to be clear about this. | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
There has been a lot of rumours, the organisation had enough money to run | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
for a year and the allegations of sexual abuse were the reasons we | :16:55. | :16:55. | |
closed. Welcome to the programme. The World | :16:56. | :17:14. | |
Health Organisation says up to form and in people could be affected by | :17:15. | :17:22. | |
the Zika virus. -- up to 4 million people in Brazil could be affected. | :17:23. | :17:25. | |
The trial has begun at the International Criminal Court | :17:26. | :17:27. | |
of the former Ivorian leader Laurent Gbagbo. | :17:28. | :17:30. | |
Prosecutors say they've got a vast body of evidence | :17:31. | :17:32. | |
BBC Arabic looking at a UN report which alleges that Saudi Arabian | :17:33. | :17:41. | |
The British government says it will take the report very seriously | :17:42. | :17:50. | |
- it supplies munitions to Saudi Arabia. | :17:51. | :17:52. | |
And in the UK, the carcasses of three sperm whales that washed up | :17:53. | :17:55. | |
on the east coast have been taken to landfill sites. | :17:56. | :18:03. | |
Corporation tax remains a big issue at the moment in the UK. | :18:04. | :18:12. | |
Last week Google announced it had agreed to pay the British government | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
?130 million - that's around $186 million - | :18:18. | :18:20. | |
The Government won't say how that was calculated. | :18:21. | :18:31. | |
Experts estimate this is equivalent to a tax rate of around 3%. | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
That's one tax story - another is that the European Union | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
is considering a range of new measures to | :18:42. | :18:43. | |
The row over Google's $185 million deal with the British taxman has | :18:44. | :18:55. | |
highlighted concerns that some multinationals might not be paying | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
their way. Many other big names have come under scrutiny in recent | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
months. In Paris, on Wednesday, members of the global economic | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
organisation signed a major deal designed to make it easier for | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
countries to find out who is paying what and who. But Britain's Finance | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
minister thinks that more action is needed. We want to see those figures | :19:17. | :19:22. | |
made public, details made public, but the only reason why we have any | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
of this new change in the global tax rules, the only reason why the OECD | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
reached the agreement is because Britain led the way in changing the | :19:32. | :19:37. | |
rules and we don't think they go far enough, our manifesto we said that | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
we will push for international agreement to publish this tax data. | :19:42. | :19:48. | |
Now Brussels is entering the argument, they want to clamp down on | :19:49. | :20:03. | |
countries -- on companies which use different countries to their | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
advantage. It is not illegal, but the commission is not happy. Until | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
now member states that make great efforts to fight abusive tax | :20:13. | :20:19. | |
practices are being undermined by those that take a more lenient | :20:20. | :20:26. | |
approach. Some struggle to enforce their National tax rules because of | :20:27. | :20:34. | |
more avoidance friendly regimes and this cannot go on any more. The | :20:35. | :20:40. | |
commission's fans are ambitious and changes will take time, and that | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
means companies like Google will find their tax affairs making | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
headlines for while to come. -- plans. Almost every day we have been | :20:49. | :21:02. | |
talking about quarterly results. Amazon has put out their figures. | :21:03. | :21:04. | |
It is pretty good news, most brick and mortar retailers have been | :21:05. | :21:13. | |
struggling, the likes of Walmart and Macy's. But Amazon, the story is | :21:14. | :21:21. | |
different, the online retailer, their sales rose 22% in the crucial | :21:22. | :21:31. | |
Christmas period. Amazon said, their owners said, 25 years ago he was | :21:32. | :21:41. | |
taking packages to the post, hoping one day he could afford a forklift | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
-- their own said. What about Microsoft? There is overlap with | :21:47. | :21:52. | |
Amazon, and if you look at Microsoft, it is less a story about | :21:53. | :21:59. | |
software, and more the focus is bad computing, that is where it is | :22:00. | :22:02. | |
generating profit like Amazon. That is the area investors will be | :22:03. | :22:10. | |
focusing on. I know the figures came at yesterday for Facebook, it is | :22:11. | :22:13. | |
taking a while to digester how well it is doing. Has that sent shock | :22:14. | :22:24. | |
waves around? -- digests. This is a company reaching its 12th year, and | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
where people have been surprised, they knew it was a digital | :22:29. | :22:34. | |
powerhouse in terms of advertising, but when you start doing | :22:35. | :22:36. | |
side-by-side comparisons with Google and you see how fast it has reached | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
some of the milestones it has already reached, $5 billion in | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
revenue, the sheer number of uses it continues to add and a weight has | :22:48. | :22:50. | |
been able to make money from those people -- and the way. That has many | :22:51. | :22:57. | |
commentators talking, wondering if it carries on at this rapid pace, it | :22:58. | :23:05. | |
will soon, if not catch up Google, it is eclipsing other big names like | :23:06. | :23:13. | |
Yahoo, for example. One of the success stories with Facebook is the | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
way it can target certain groups of people. | :23:19. | :23:22. | |
Facebook is about to replace it's "like" feature with a set | :23:23. | :23:25. | |
It is nice that now we don't have too give a thumbs up to our friends | :23:26. | :24:05. | |
divorces. You have a friend who has broken a bone, you can leave a | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
comment, which allows you to express emotions. Who has time to leave a | :24:10. | :24:15. | |
comment? We are all so busy these days. | :24:16. | :24:33. | |
They are coming to Facebook very soon, whether you are keen on them | :24:34. | :24:36. | |
or not. This is consumer blogger Jordon Cox, | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
from here in the UK. He's in the news because after | :24:42. | :24:44. | |
he found a cheaper - if slightly longer | :24:45. | :24:46. | |
route - to get home. He needed to get to Hatton in Essex, | :24:47. | :24:53. | |
from his university in Sheffield. Instead he flew to Berlin spent | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
the day there and flew back I've always wanted to visit Berlin, | :24:57. | :25:27. | |
is a bucket list place, and to visit there and all in one go, that is a | :25:28. | :25:33. | |
triple win, I love to travel. I've seen so many more opportunities like | :25:34. | :25:36. | |
this, a one-way flight from Copenhagen London for just ?4, | :25:37. | :25:43. | |
cheaper than my bus back home. There are so many cheap flight prices out | :25:44. | :25:47. | |
there if people take a look. There you go. That is it for the first | :25:48. | :25:54. | |
half of the programme, we are back for more in a moment. | :25:55. | :26:09. | |
