Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is in Washington. | :01:33. | :01:34. | |
It's the first official state visit of a Canadian leader | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
to the United States in nearly 20 years, | :01:38. | :01:39. | |
The two countries have the longest common border and largest trading | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
As the first US president to visit the Arctic, I saw how both our | :01:43. | :02:04. | |
nations are put in by Arctic seas, disappearing glaziers and CIC. We | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
are focusing on making sure the Paris agreement is implemented and | :02:10. | :02:18. | |
also we are investing in research. The president and I will take action | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
to reduce metal frame omissions by nearly half from the gas and oil | :02:25. | :02:34. | |
sector. Reduce hurry for hybrids -- reduce hydrofluoric emissions. Let's | :02:35. | :02:49. | |
cross to our correspondence. Why is a resident Trudeau there? Just | :02:50. | :02:56. | |
intruder is the new liberal darling of North American leadership. What | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
was interesting is there was President Obama who came into office | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
eight years ago, full of hope and promise, and now he is welcoming his | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
neighbour from the North who in many ways resembles Obama's 2008. This is | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
what he was before Washington granting down and he realised he | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
could not get much done. There is an affinity between these two leaders | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
and there is a partnership between America and Canada which is hugely | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
important to American business. Please stay with us. We will remind | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
our visitors about what just intruder has been doing in these | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
months since taking office. He has welcomed a number of Syrian refugees | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
to the country. He has attended gay pride marches. When it comes to | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
domestic politics, he has appointed an equal number of men and women to | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
his cabinet. That created such a stir, such is -- so did this. He | :03:57. | :04:11. | |
named baby pandas at a local zoo. Let's have a look at some of the | :04:12. | :04:20. | |
tweets. Many people thinking that the cutest person is the Canadian | :04:21. | :04:28. | |
president. Do you think Trudeau mania is an exaggeration? I have | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
just spoken to a senator from Minnesota which has a 500 mile | :04:35. | :04:42. | |
border with Canada. I asked if this was a love affair between the two | :04:43. | :04:52. | |
countries. She says that just intruder has made Canada cool. | :04:53. | :05:00. | |
People are feeling the bright spark of Justin Trudeau's Prime Minister | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
ship and there is still a lot of excitement here. We have more to | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
talk to you about, but we will go to this first. What is happening in the | :05:11. | :05:20. | |
US primaries. Let us get you up to date on that big question whether | :05:21. | :05:27. | |
Donald Trump can take the Republican nomination. Donald Trump has won 458 | :05:28. | :05:35. | |
delegates. It is the delegate count that matters. He needs 1237 to win. | :05:36. | :05:43. | |
If no candidate gets to that magic number, we are looking at the big | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
showdown which is known as a brokered convention. | :05:48. | :06:01. | |
The race for the White House has been a mad scramble with the | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
candidates scrapping for votes. At times it descended into child's | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
play. The action is nonstop and frantic as the candidates go from | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
state to state to win support. Win a caucus at a primary and you get | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
delegates to the National Convention. Donald Trump has the | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
most so far. John Casey has hardly any, but Donald Trump does not have | :06:25. | :06:33. | |
enough yet to secure the nomination. If he gets 1237, he gets the | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
nomination. If he does not, we enter a brokered convention, which is a | :06:40. | :06:50. | |
political freefall. Other candidates will be thrown back into the mix. | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
These conventions used to be the norm. Sometimes they were | :06:56. | :07:05. | |
acrimonious and it could take days, even weeks to settle on a nominee. | :07:06. | :07:13. | |
After the 26 men nomination, they stride angrily from the delegate | :07:14. | :07:22. | |
haul. Anyone can come out on top, so it could mean John Casey wins the | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
most. Maybe he has done the most arm-twisting. Theoretically, it does | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
not have to be one of the top four who wins. Donald Trump will not go | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
down without a fight. But given that the establishment is against him, | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
this could come down to a good old-fashioned bab Paul. -- bar | :07:41. | :07:53. | |
brawl. It's good to be hard to know when to book your holiday. There is | :07:54. | :08:03. | |
a chance that it could happen this time around that if other candidates | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
stay in the race they could deprive Donald Trump of that magic 1237 | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
delegates. Then we go to Cleveland at the end of July. We are probably | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
putting on Ryan year because it could be one of the most tense | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
places in America because if Donald Trump's supporters feel the gets | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
more delicate than anyone else, but does not get the nomination, all | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
hell could break loose. They will be furious. They will save the | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
establishment has stolen the nomination from them and Donald | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
Trump deserves to be the candidate and just because Washington stopped | :08:39. | :08:51. | |
him, he could not do it. It is going to be an open convention and it will | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
be decided by the people who are there. You have been to conventions | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
and so have I will stop people who turn up where these fantastic hats. | :08:59. | :09:05. | |
They are certainly not all white men and it will be interesting to see | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
how that process plays out. It could also possibly be quite valid. We | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
will be talking to you all the way through that process. Thank you for | :09:15. | :09:16. | |
bringing us up to date. Myanmar has changed hugely | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
over the last few years, moving from a military dictatorship | :09:20. | :09:21. | |
to a near democracy. Today there was another big | :09:22. | :09:23. | |
step in that process, with the nomination | :09:24. | :09:25. | |
of candidates for president. The person widely expected to get | :09:26. | :09:27. | |
the job is this man Htin Kyaw. SWIPE He's a close associate | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
of the pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi, who is not | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
allowed to run herself. She says she'll be above whoever | :09:36. | :09:42. | |
is chosen, and is expected We should say though | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
that the military is still in charge of important parts of government | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
like defence, and a quarter of seats in parliament are | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
reserved for soldiers. Jonah Fisher is at parliament | :09:55. | :09:56. | |
in Myanmar's capital. This session is over for the day. | :09:57. | :10:13. | |
The MPs are streaming out. What has happened today is that nominations | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
have been put forward to be vice president of this country. It | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
happened in this chamber just been here. The MPs are all from Aung San | :10:22. | :10:28. | |
Suu Kyi's party. They won't let us in, but this is where the | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
discussions took place. What effectively we found out today was | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
that as expected, it is not going to be Aung San Suu Kyi as this | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
country's next president. Her party has nominated to candidates for Vice | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
President and one of those will be the president. Effectively, it means | :10:46. | :10:53. | |
that Htin Kyaw, who is a close aide of hers, he has been close to her | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
for a long period of time, but the senior member of her party, he has | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
been chosen because the other candidate, a member from a different | :11:06. | :11:13. | |
state is regarded as not being suitable. It is likely that Htin | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
Kyaw will be this country's next president. Effectively, his role | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
will be to do what he is told. Aung San Suu Kyi has made it clear that | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
she may have been blocked from the presidency, but she will still be in | :11:28. | :11:28. | |
charge. Correspondent for BBC Ben Mee 's | :11:29. | :11:42. | |
told me more about Htin Kyaw. He is a close aide of Aung San Suu Kyi. He | :11:43. | :11:49. | |
is a Western educated person and very able. He is completely | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
bilingual as well. But is he likely to be happy about taking orders, to | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
put it bluntly, from Aung San Suu Kyi? I am not sure he will be taking | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
orders from her. Will they just think alike? They will be thinking | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
alike, and also he has been working with Aung San Suu Kyi the many years | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
and he has been advising her on many issues. So I think she will respect | :12:13. | :12:19. | |
his views and opinions as well. It is kind of a partnership rather than | :12:20. | :12:25. | |
taking orders from Aung San Suu Kyi. More of a joint presidency in | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
practice, do you think? Join presidency? That is something... If | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
not in title? It could be, but one of the things is that people have | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
given a mandate to Aung San Suu Kyi. They regard her as their leader, so | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
whatever she does, whether she is above the president or is a chairman | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
of her party, whether she leaves the country, they only want to do that. | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
That is something that everybody is very much happy about, that she is | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
there and she is there to lead the country. She may not be the | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
president. Understood. I want to get more from you in a moment, but first | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
we heard from Jonah Fisher. He has spoken to one of the military | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
representative theirs. That is have a listen. Are you pleased that you | :13:15. | :13:21. | |
managed to block Aung San Suu Kyi from becoming president despite the | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
people overwhelmingly voting for her? I have no answer about it. Why | :13:25. | :13:34. | |
not? The people voted for her in the election another army has stopped | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
becoming president. You pleased with yourself? | :13:38. | :13:47. | |
We stand on our party's side. You think this is best for the country, | :13:48. | :13:55. | |
that someone else is president that Aung San Suu Kyi gives instructions | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
to? I do not want to answer this question. Thank you. I am not sure | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
if that was a happy interviewee, but the point is there, isn't it? The | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
military still has a lot of power and are very invested in the state. | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
The military definitely has a lot of power and one of the things is that | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
it was a surprise to them that they lost the elections, said they are | :14:21. | :14:23. | |
quite unprepared and now they have to deal with this issue of Aung San | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
Suu Kyi as the leader of the next government. She may not be the | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
president, but the military, the constitution itself has ensured | :14:33. | :14:35. | |
their position and power in the country, so now a lot of people were | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
speaking about Aung San Suu Kyi talking to the military to try and | :14:41. | :14:46. | |
find a way to give her, to allow her to become president. I think it is | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
still very early to decide. This is not going to happen. It will take | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
time and the military needs to save their face as well. They lost the | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
election and it is a big blow for them. Thank you very much. In fact, | :15:00. | :15:06. | |
just a final thought, is it going to be a matter of years that the | :15:07. | :15:11. | |
military will have a quarter of the seats in parliament. Things have | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
moved quite fast, but they may have that state for quite awhile? This | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
question has been asked over and over to the military and this is | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
what answer. If they feel that the country is secure, the security of | :15:25. | :15:27. | |
the country, if they have confidence about it, then they will gradually | :15:28. | :15:35. | |
remove their unelected parliamentary seats from the parliament. They will | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
gradually go back to the barracks if they are very confident that the | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
country is in the safe hands of the civilian government. | :15:45. | :15:50. | |
This week we are marking 25 years of BBC World News Today we will be | :15:51. | :15:56. | |
looking at what could be one of the big technologies of the next 25 | :15:57. | :16:04. | |
years, Virtual reality. Here in the UK, a report into the | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
causes of a plane crash at sure that left 11 people dead has said proper | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
risk assessment has not been done before. This was the fiancee of one | :16:13. | :16:20. | |
victim who lost his life in the accident, she said stricter safety | :16:21. | :16:22. | |
measures could have saved him and the ten other victims. When this | :16:23. | :16:30. | |
plane did this manoeuvre and it went had ethically wrong, the plane came | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
out of the airfield, so whether you are in that field or out of it you | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
don't have any hope. Mark just happens to be one of the unlucky | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
ones with the other ten who happened to be in the wrong place at the | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
wrong time. If there were safety measures put in place where there | :16:51. | :16:53. | |
was a strict the area where manoeuvres and planes had to stay in | :16:54. | :16:59. | |
and you couldn't go out, then this accident probably wouldn't have | :17:00. | :17:00. | |
happened. This is outside source life from the | :17:01. | :17:18. | |
BBC newsroom. Our lead story, the Canadian Prime Minister met | :17:19. | :17:21. | |
President Obama at the White House. It is the first official state visit | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
by a Canadian leader in almost 20 years and they have agreed joint | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
steps to fight climate change. Let's see what some of our language | :17:30. | :17:36. | |
services are looking at. Angela Merkel has criticised Balkan | :17:37. | :17:38. | |
countries for closing the Borders to migrants trying to reach northern | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
Europe. She said EU countries could not simply leave the problem to | :17:44. | :17:49. | |
Greece. A woman has flown on an Air France flight from Turkey to France | :17:50. | :17:52. | |
with a four-year-old child in her hand luggage. Passengers noticed the | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
bag was moving at the woman's feet and it is thought the woman was | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
trying to adopt the child but she didn't have the correct papers. | :18:02. | :18:08. | |
It has been a big day for the European economy. Stock markets have | :18:09. | :18:15. | |
fallen and the euro has soared! This is because of economic stimulus | :18:16. | :18:18. | |
measures announced by the European Central Bank. Here is a quick run | :18:19. | :18:26. | |
down to tell you what they are. The late for the deposit facility, | :18:27. | :18:29. | |
overnight money left by commercial banks in the central bank, was | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
already negative but that goes further below 02 -0.4%. The rate of | :18:34. | :18:44. | |
commercial lending is now zero and the rate of overnight borrowing by | :18:45. | :18:52. | |
the banks was also cut. The ECB is expanding its quantitative easing | :18:53. | :18:55. | |
programme and buying financial assets from 60 billion euros up to | :18:56. | :19:00. | |
80 billion. The assets are mainly government debt so far. The ECB is | :19:01. | :19:06. | |
extending it to company debt. It is also giving extra incentives to | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
banks to lend more to businesses and households by offering ultra cheap | :19:11. | :19:15. | |
loans. That is what the European Central | :19:16. | :19:18. | |
Bank has done but why has it done it and why does it matter? Here is an | :19:19. | :19:25. | |
economics editor to explain. The big problem is that the Eurozone | :19:26. | :19:28. | |
economies are looking sickly and this matters to us because 45% of | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
everything that Britain exports goes to the European Union and the | :19:34. | :19:39. | |
majority of that to the Eurozone economy, so how they perform matters | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
to us. The worry is that whatever the governor of the European Central | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
Bank does, uses all this ammunition to try to encourage the economies to | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
grow, unless those economies and actually formed, they are still | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
looking sickly and he is running out of ammunition. Recognise him? The | :19:58. | :20:03. | |
rapper 50 cents is in court at the moment in front of the bankruptcy | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
judge. He filed for bankruptcy last summer but then posted this on ends | :20:09. | :20:15. | |
Pegram. This has his money spilling out the word broke. He told the | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
judge today it was fake money. He posted this on ends Pegram. -- | :20:20. | :20:34. | |
Instagram. He said he was in court and they asked him about money and | :20:35. | :20:37. | |
he had none. Tell us more about this case? Lets not forget the wad of | :20:38. | :20:46. | |
cash he had in his waistline. 50 Cent was called to court essentially | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
to satisfy creditors that he wasn't hiding any assets given he had filed | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
for bankruptcy, and all of these postings on social media next to | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
piles of cash as you saw raised questions about whether or not that | :21:01. | :21:06. | |
was real money, so his lawyer turned up in this bankruptcy court and said | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
that actually the money was fake, he uses it as many people do for | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
branding and marketing purposes, but this raises another question that is | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
since it is the job security forces in America to make sure their lives | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
and counterfeiting of US money, some people are now wondering whether or | :21:25. | :21:27. | |
not he will face charges because of that! Now, the working Time | :21:28. | :21:35. | |
directive is a phrase that might sound boring, and it is boring! But | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
it is the European Union legislation that governs how much you work and | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
how much holiday you take, and it is one of the many ways the EU faces | :21:45. | :21:46. | |
everyday life. What does a clock tell us about the | :21:47. | :21:58. | |
European Union? Have you ever heard of Greenwich mean Time? Britain has | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
been telling the world how to set its watchers since 1884. But no time | :22:04. | :22:09. | |
has taken on a distinctly European feel. Thanks to the working Time | :22:10. | :22:21. | |
directive. Eurosceptics hate it. It says that on average you cannot | :22:22. | :22:27. | |
walk more than 48 hours a week, but you get 11 hours rest every single | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
day, and you can take 28 days of holiday every year. Before the | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
working Time directive came in in 1998, there was no law in Britain | :22:38. | :22:40. | |
that made your employer give you any time off at all. Here is a lorry and | :22:41. | :22:48. | |
its driver and here is the simplified version of the rules that | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
Paul has to follow. One of the big complaints about the working Time | :22:54. | :22:58. | |
directive is how complex it all is. EU clock watching doesn't apply to | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
all jobs and most can opt out of the maximum 48-hour work week. At first | :23:03. | :23:09. | |
that was just in the UK but now 15 other countries have also used that | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
opt out. Why? Because many people feel that the working time directive | :23:15. | :23:22. | |
isn't working. It is a great example of how the EU itself can feel to | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
work efficiently. Brussels wants to rewrite the working time directive | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
and the EU's 28 member states want to the United as well. The European | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
Parliament wants to be liked it but cannot agree how to do it, so for | :23:37. | :23:45. | |
now we are stuck with it. Here is a story very close to my | :23:46. | :23:52. | |
heart. Friday marks 25 years since this channel, BBC world News, | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
started broadcasting. I have been worth it for something like 21 years | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
and a very sweet viewer treated me and said you look just the same! It | :24:01. | :24:08. | |
was extremely kind of you and I have been all around the world with this | :24:09. | :24:11. | |
channel and I want to give you a taste of what it looked like 25 | :24:12. | :24:12. | |
years ago. Good even in, this is BBC World | :24:13. | :24:38. | |
Service news. It's fair to say in the time that BBC News has been only | :24:39. | :24:42. | |
are there has been an off a lot of change in the business of | :24:43. | :24:44. | |
broadcasting. We have this magnificent outside source | :24:45. | :24:51. | |
touch-screen that I sometimes feel to operate properly but technology | :24:52. | :24:54. | |
moves on and the earthly lot that is exciting about what do now. Early I | :24:55. | :25:03. | |
spoke to keep Russell who is a presenter of Click. I am in west | :25:04. | :25:10. | |
London at the heartbeat of where all the broadcast equipment is stored | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
and maintained. It allows us to bring you television from wherever | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
we are in the world. We know that Click tells us all about the latest | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
technology, what do you think we have to look forward to and should | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
be looking forward to? Some of the cats we have been looking for two | :25:31. | :25:33. | |
has been a fascinating journey through satellite dishes that send | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
the signal through satellites bouncing around the planet's audit, | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
and now we are using cellular network signals, so we have Sim card | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
bonded together inside boxes that allows to send a broadcast signal | :25:48. | :25:55. | |
from a camera. We have been looking at satellite trucks but moving into | :25:56. | :25:58. | |
the future there are lots of new equipment we can use such as the | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
hundred and 60 degrees cameras that allows the viewer to look all the | :26:04. | :26:05. | |
way around the image of what your recording. | :26:06. | :26:11. | |
Fantastic and do stay with us we will have more than just a few | :26:12. | :26:12. | |
minutes. | :26:13. | :26:15. |
