Angelina Jolie-Pitt has been here at the BBC to talk about migration. | :00:12. | :00:33. | |
None of us are refugees. We will talk about whether the whole | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
migration system is broken. The US has announced it will give alms to | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
the new Libyan Government to help it fight so-called Islamic state. | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
Donald Trump pulled a few punches today when he said he does not | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
expect to have a good relationship with David Cameron if he becomes | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
president and he has challenged London's men out to an IQ test. In a | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
season that has been full of them, it has been another extraordinary | :00:57. | :01:02. | |
one for Leicester City and its fans. The Premier League champions have | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
been celebrating in the city centre with this vast cloud welcoming them | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
in the sunshine. We will be live there in half an hour, and if you | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
have any questions we are also online. | :01:13. | :01:33. | |
Angelina Jolie-Pitt is the UN special envoy for refugees and | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
today, she spoke at the BBC and said that the refugee system has broken | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
down. We know that in the region of 60 million people are displaced | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
globally. Put it another way, that is about one in every 122 of us. The | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
message was very clear in this speech from Angelina Jolie-Pitt. | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
Europe, she said, is only a fraction of the global refugee problem. She | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
highlighted these countries. Turkey, Pakistan, Lebanon, Ethiopia and | :02:05. | :02:11. | |
Jordan, the countries which taken the most refugees. Let me believe | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
some of her speech. On one hand, the refugee crisis has produced great | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
acts of generosity and solidarity with refugees. Here in Europe, and | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
in other parts of the world. And on the other hand, fear of uncontrolled | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
migration has eroded public confidence and the ability of | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
governments and international institutions to control the | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
situation. It has given space to a false air of legitimacy to those who | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
promote the politics of fear and separation. It had created the risk | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
of a race to the bottom, with countries competing to be the | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
toughest in the hope of protecting themselves, whatever the cost or | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
challenge to their neighbours and despite their international | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
responsibilities. But since no country can seal itself off from the | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
impact of the refugee crisis, such a free for all would lead to an even | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
greater set of problems. It would amount to the worst of both worlds. | :03:11. | :03:18. | |
Failing to tackle the issue and undermining international law and | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
our values in the process. And there is another factor. At the moment, | :03:24. | :03:30. | |
when we need strong, collective action, we are questioning our | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
ability to cope with international crises. At the worst possible choice | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
we can make is to decide to step back from the world. Well, the BBC's | :03:41. | :03:48. | |
chief international correspondent was watching the speech and she gave | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
me her reaction. One of the important message is that she wanted | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
to send and I think one can easily lose sight of it is international | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
responsibilities. That in the midst of this chaotic response by | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
individual governments, the race to the bottom, as she cold, competing | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
for the toughest of responses, that people who have a genuine, well | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
grounded fear of persecution have the right to ask for asylum and she | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
emphasised that not everyone... It is not a blanket right. It is only | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
people who can claim that they are fleeing persecution, hostilities, | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
wards. She said that has to be preserved and the other bit has to | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
be looked at. You have to separate the economic migrants from the | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
refugees. She said it is very difficult to do but you have to do | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
it. She was criticised for not being specific enough but she is not a | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
Government official but she did send very clear message is that the | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
Government had to work together and only if doing so there be a proper | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
response. The challenge of our century, she cold it. David Miliband | :04:50. | :04:56. | |
has this week told the BBC that he believes the institutions we have | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
are not really geared up to providing solutions so do we have to | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
go that deep? Do we have to look at what is available to politicians to | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
use? I think what is sinking in and we saw that earlier this year at the | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
London conference for Syria is that governments are realising first of | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
all that refugees fleeing wars like Syria are not going to the region, | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
they are going to going to come to Europe no matter what it takes and | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
they have found a route to come. Secondly, that it is not a question | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
of months before people go home. Angelina talked about 20 years. It | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
is usually said 17 years. More and more with the protected conflicts we | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
are seeing means that a growing number of people who leave will not | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
go home so they have two... You have to give them not just food and water | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
and temporary shelter, but you have to give them in way to make a living | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
and a place for their children to go to school and eight new life. | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
Another speaker from the BBC's world on the move event is the former head | :05:58. | :06:07. | |
of Britain's intelligence service, MI6, speaking earlier. If Europe | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
cannot act together to persuade the majority of its citizens that it can | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
gain control of its migratory crisis, then the EU will find itself | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
at the mercy of the populist uprising which is already stirring. | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
The stakes are very high. And the UK referendum is the first roll of the | :06:27. | :06:34. | |
dice in a bigger geopolitical game. We have heard stark warnings about | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
the pressures on the EU, but that was even more stark. It is similar | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
to what I smack was saying and she dropped about these policies being | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
founded in fear. When you look at this chaotic, uncontrolled flow of | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
people, hundreds of thousands just arriving at the door, people then | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
say do something about it, my own life is going to be at risk. | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
Everything I value will be taken away from me. This is exactly the | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
message we are hearing from the former head of MI6. There is going | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
to be a backlash if they do not get a grip on it and people are scared | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
that this new phenomenon is going to actually overwhelm what they have is | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
Botha and the values that they hold dear in their society. It is | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
interesting because they are talking about practical measures but as well | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
as those practical measures, this requires a politician or a number of | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
politicians of extreme skill to both manage the practicalities and then | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
sell the solution. They have defined the system both for what the UN has | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
always mention of a screening Centre, registrations, taking a look | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
at what is happening in Canada. It is an ocean away. They have the | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
luxury to be able to control it, so they screamed the families who are | :07:44. | :07:45. | |
coming and they also have a programme where it is not just the | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
Government who is responsible, that local communities are sponsoring | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
families so there is a buy in from the public and the message is, the | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
narrative is, that refugees are the future and they will contribute to | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
the economy, not that refugees are a burden. There has to be a careful | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
coordination of all elements of society, including the media, to | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
make this work and we are not seen that happen in Europe, partly | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
because there is this onslaught of people and there is no coordination | :08:14. | :08:15. | |
and no coordinated European response so there is a panic. Thank you very | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
much and there is a raft of content and reports relating to the BBC's | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
world on the move day of coverage to date. If you put that into any | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
search engine or social media, you will very easily access it. Over the | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
last few hours, we have seen some fantastic pictures coming in from | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
Leicester because celebrations have been going on for a while now with a | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
victory parade for the team that won the Premier League for the first | :08:42. | :08:49. | |
time in its history. These were some of the pictures we saw earlier. This | :08:50. | :08:56. | |
is a team of people thought was going to be relegated from the | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
Premier League. Instead, it has won the whole thing in some style and | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
thousands and thousands of people turned out to see the team on the | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
bus and then they went on to a stage in one of the city's parks as well | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
to listen to the players being interviewed and of course to hail | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
Claudio Ranieri, the manager who everyone is completely besotted | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
with. Who would ever have thought we would be looking at this table? | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
Leicester City not only winning the Premier League. In itself, | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
absolutely extraordinary, 5000-1 the odds, but also ten points clear of | :09:31. | :09:38. | |
Arsenal in second place. Now, not all fans in attendance are from | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
Leicester. My colleague has been there all day. She spoke to two fans | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
who have travelled a fair old distance. People are prepared to | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
travel a very long way to take part in the celebrations like this today | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
and I have got to people here with me today who have done just that. | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
One is Michael and the other Dominik. Thank you very much for | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
joining us here this afternoon, overlooking the clock tower. Tel is | :10:04. | :10:05. | |
where you have travelled from and why? I am from Leicester originally, | :10:06. | :10:12. | |
but I live in Jacksonville, Florida now, so I have been up there since | :10:13. | :10:19. | |
2011 and I have been here because I am a lifelong Leicester fan and a | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
perfect opportunity to come back and celebrate and have a real party. | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
Michael, you have travelled even further. You have come from Sydney | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
but you do not have any direct connection with the city. Tell us | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
how long you been following Leicester City. I have been | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
following for nearly 50 years, mainly because they play a very | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
attractive style of football. I decided to come here to make a | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
special trip to celebrate herewith Leicester. If they ever did when the | :10:46. | :10:52. | |
Premier League. He makes it sound like he was only half expecting it. | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
Anyway, on stage was the Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri. He was | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
asked if his accomplishments, if the team's, judgments have sunk in yet. | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
I will enjoy today in front of our fans. I want to say thank you to | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
everybody because in all of the season, they pushed behind us and | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
believed in hours. Every time, we were down 2-0, they pushed, they | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
pushed, they pushed! Well. Thank you. Next season, Champions League! | :11:23. | :11:31. | |
Looking forward to it? Yes. Keep dreaming! Keep dreaming! Don't wake | :11:32. | :11:38. | |
up. I love that phrase. Don't wake up. What a great message. We will | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
see that in some of the headlines into moral's papers. Let's turn away | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
from Leicester City and update you on a really important announcement | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
from John Kerry today. The US and other world powers are now saying | :11:51. | :11:52. | |
they're ready to arm the Libyan Government as it tries to take on | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
the Islamic State group. Here is some of Mr Kerry's statement. The | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
United States and the National community represented here today and | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
beyond will back you every step of the way. That means working hard | :12:07. | :12:13. | |
through the UN to prepare security arrangements so the new Government | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
can further establish itself in Tripoli. It means helping to ensure | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
that such key institutions as the central bank and the national oil | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
company received the oversight and the direction that they need. It | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
means doing more to address urgent humanitarian requirements. It means | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
laying the groundwork for sustained support in the fields of security, | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
finance, counterterrorism, and overall governance. You hear that | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
list on the Secretary of State and you start to understand the huge | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
number of complex issues facing Libya. The Government that he is | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
talking about is based in Tripoli. That is not where it has always | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
been. In fact, for many months it was based many hundreds of | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
kilometres away in a city called Tobruk. If I pull the map out a | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
little bit, you can see that between those two places, there are four | :13:09. | :13:11. | |
major cities and all of those are either controlled by the Islamic | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
State group or by other militia. That is the scale of the task facing | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
this Government. Now, because of the lawless state that Libya has been | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
experiencing for the last couple of years, our correspondent, who we | :13:25. | :13:26. | |
always used to talk to from Tripoli, is now based in neighbouring | :13:27. | :13:33. | |
Tunisia. This is her analysis. The instability in Libya is affecting | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
the entire region, not least of which its neighbours like Tunisia | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
and regional and western players have been meeting in Vienna to | :13:41. | :13:43. | |
establish just what kind of assistance and support they can | :13:44. | :13:46. | |
provide to the newly established unity Government that is backed by | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
the UN to help it combat extremist groups like the so-called Islamic | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
State. Now, the suggestion to date is that they may push for an | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
exemption of the arms embargo against Libya which has been a place | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
for several years. The risk in that at this time is that because the new | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
Government doesn't really control the whole country, nor can it | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
control all of the rival armed groups there, some of them consider | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
themselves the rightful army in different regions and are divided by | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
ideology, these weapons could eventually fall into the wrong hands | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
and there is also a risk that it could that it the local conflict | :14:26. | :14:34. | |
there. We have had stories about Libya, London, and Leicester. A | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
little later, we will be getting into the 50th anniversary of China's | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
cultural Revolution and BBC Chinese has made a video explaining exactly | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
what that was. We will play that to you in a fume minutes time. Here in | :14:48. | :14:58. | |
the UK, a man who stabbed to death a retired solicitor after a minor road | :14:59. | :15:01. | |
accident has been convicted of manslaughter. Matthew Daly attacked | :15:02. | :15:07. | |
79-year-old, block in Worthing last July. Daly has been treated for | :15:08. | :15:13. | |
psychosis. Lewes Crown Court heard that his family had pleaded for him | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
to be sectioned. Donald Locke's son Andrew give his reaction to the | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
verdict outside of the court. As a consequence of the failings of the | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
NHS, this verdict makes clear that dad would still be here today if | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
they had done their job properly. The thing we say or do now would | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
bring that back to us. But we will continue the spirit that dad carried | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
with him to the family, our friends, and the many people with whom dad | :15:40. | :15:42. | |
had such an impact on over the course of his life. It is clear now | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
to all that this incident confirms nothing more than that that was | :15:49. | :15:50. | |
simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. | :15:51. | :16:03. | |
Welcome back to the BBC newsroom. Hello. Our lead story is that in a | :16:04. | :16:11. | |
speech at the BBC, the UN special envoy, Angelina Jolie-Pitt, says the | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
global refugee system has broken down because of the unprecedented | :16:16. | :16:18. | |
numbers of people fleeing conflict. And let's bring you some of the main | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
stories from the BBC World Service as well. First of all, the Indian | :16:23. | :16:25. | |
Government is pushing on the controversial plan to divert water | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
from rivers to areas affected by one of the worst drought on record. 300 | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
million people are effected by it. BBC India has that story. Last month | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
was the hottest April ever recorded according to Nasa. It is the seventh | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
month in a row that global temperatures have broken records. | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
That is on the BBC World Service radio. And thousands of people have | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
been looking at this, the world's largest plane arriving in Perth, | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
Australia. It was built in Ukraine and is 84 metres long and about five | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
stories high and it was originally used to carry Soviet space shuttles. | :17:01. | :17:08. | |
This time, though, inside it where a 170 tonne generator from the Czech | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
Republic. You can see those pictures on the BBC World Service. Now, we | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
will talk about China's cultural Revolution. It affected a quarter of | :17:17. | :17:21. | |
the world's population. Our Beijing correspondent puts it this way. This | :17:22. | :17:31. | |
whole process in China was led by the founder of modern China, | :17:32. | :17:46. | |
Chairman Mao. He intended to reshape China with his vision of communism. | :17:47. | :17:53. | |
The book is second in popularity only to the Bible. But the book | :17:54. | :17:59. | |
itself wasn't enough to spread Chairman Mao's ideas which brought | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
in the cultural Revolution. To what exactly was it? BBC China have made | :18:05. | :18:10. | |
this video to help us out. On the 16th of May, 1966, the Communist | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
Party of China issued a directive. The cultural Revolution begins as a | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
decade-long political campaign. It calls for a purge of capitalist | :18:20. | :18:26. | |
influences and bourgeois thinking in the Government, teaching, media, and | :18:27. | :18:30. | |
the arts. A huge personality cult of Chairman Mao is at the centre of the | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
revolution. Other party components are removed from office. The wife of | :18:35. | :18:40. | |
Chairman Mao and her close associates were given as -- | :18:41. | :18:48. | |
important posts. Chairman Mao's quotes in his little red book were | :18:49. | :18:54. | |
made compulsory reading. The quotations become the standard of | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
which all revolutionary efforts are judged. A youth organisation called | :18:58. | :19:06. | |
the Read Carts springs up around the country, teaching the preachings of | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
Chairman Mao. They travel all over the country, smashing the old | :19:12. | :19:14. | |
cultural and destroying much of the cultural heritage. The spearhead of | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
this interrogation and humiliation and beatings of teachers, | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
intellectuals and traditional enemies of the state. 16 million | :19:23. | :19:29. | |
young people are sent to the countryside for the education and | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
physical Labour. Tens of thousands of officials are accused of being | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
traitors, counter revolutionaries, and capitalist stooges. The | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
president is expelled from the party and dies a lonely death. Chairman | :19:46. | :19:57. | |
Mao is named successor --... The wife of Chairman Mao and her close | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
associates for what became known as the Gang of Four. A push for a | :20:02. | :20:07. | |
leftist agenda against more moderate voices within the party. In | :20:08. | :20:17. | |
September 1976, Mao Zedong dies. The gang of four are arrested and are | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
plot to control the country is stopped. Marking the end of the | :20:23. | :20:25. | |
cultural Revolution. And if you want to show other people that video, you | :20:26. | :20:28. | |
can go to the world page of the BBC News website. Celia Hatton used to | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
be one of our correspondent in Beijing and she is now our | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
Asia-Pacific regional editor here in the BBC newsroom on. Here she is | :20:38. | :20:40. | |
explaining how the anniversary has been marked, are not marked as the | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
case may be, in China. It has been banned, but it hasn't been spoken | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
about much either. Back in March, one of China's leading state | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
newspapers, the global Times, published an editorial saying that | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
the public should not excessively criticise that period in history but | :20:57. | :20:59. | |
it should not glorify it either and that really seems to be the | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
Government line on this, so today we are not seeing any official accounts | :21:04. | :21:08. | |
in major newspapers, but at the same time, really interestingly, the | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
search term cultural revolution has not been censored from the Chinese | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
internet. It has not been censored from China's version of Twitter, so | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
there seems to be some kind of recognition that some people in the | :21:22. | :21:24. | |
public really do need to reflect on this moment. This is not something | :21:25. | :21:27. | |
that can be ignored. This was a decade in China's Italy which was | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
very chaotic and many people are still struggling with their memories | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
of that period but it is not something that is widely discussed | :21:36. | :21:38. | |
because it is not something that is encouraged by the Government. We | :21:39. | :21:41. | |
have to remember, the Communist Party was in power during that | :21:42. | :21:47. | |
period from 1966 to 1976 and it is still in power. There's been no | :21:48. | :21:50. | |
change in Government and therefore the Government does not have a huge | :21:51. | :21:53. | |
political interest in pointing to the mistakes of its own partypast. | :21:54. | :22:01. | |
Now we will start business by talking about Warren Buffett, who is | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
one of the world's best known it investors and we have heard that his | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
firm has bought a $1 billion stake in Apple. We speak to our | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
correspondent live from New York. I guess this is not such a bad time to | :22:15. | :22:22. | |
buy Apple stock. It isn't, but part of the reason why people have been | :22:23. | :22:26. | |
so struck by this is because if you look at Apple's peak share prices, | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
the price is down from that, but if you consider how popular it is, | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
relatively speaking, clearly Warren Buffett thinks it is an interesting | :22:35. | :22:39. | |
purchase. I think what many people were struck by in the investment | :22:40. | :22:45. | |
community was that his -- he is a man who is a billionaire and he is | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
known for a philosophy of investing in well-established companies with | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
staying power, traditional, iconic American brands such as Coca-Cola | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
and suddenly come he has always avoided technology, but suddenly you | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
have in taking a big stake in Apple. Does he explain himself and say why | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
he buys investments like this? Well, people are seeing this in part as a | :23:09. | :23:12. | |
sign of the changing of the guard. If you consider, this is a gentleman | :23:13. | :23:16. | |
who is quite elderly now and people have been wondering what succession | :23:17. | :23:22. | |
plan they would have some people are seeing this as a sign that perhaps | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
other people's fingerprints are on this and that it is now his deputies | :23:27. | :23:30. | |
who are doing the stock picking at the company and that perhaps you are | :23:31. | :23:33. | |
seeing that reflected in this decision to invest in Apple. | :23:34. | :23:36. | |
Although I say he traditionally does not invest in technology stocks, | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
there is one exception, which was IBM back in 2011, but broadly | :23:41. | :23:44. | |
speaking, during past technology bubbles, what was notable -- notable | :23:45. | :23:50. | |
was that Warren Buffett steered clear of investing in businesses | :23:51. | :23:53. | |
that he thought were too corrugated to understand. Thank you very much. | :23:54. | :23:55. | |
We will see how that investment performs. You can see all of the | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
story is online and we often play them on outside source. Here is the | :24:02. | :24:04. | |
chief executive of Eurostar with the advice he wishes he had been given | :24:05. | :24:12. | |
before he started out. Diversity, which I really enjoy. It takes a lot | :24:13. | :24:17. | |
of energy to get people to actually listen to each other and engage with | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
each other because the first reaction people usually when they | :24:22. | :24:23. | |
don't like something, they just it on it being French or English. It | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
takes a lot of time, investment, to get people to actually listen to one | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
another, but when it is done, it works very, very well. When you're | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
in the office, you feel like you have got the data and spreadsheets, | :24:38. | :24:42. | |
but actually going on the train and travelling and talking to customers | :24:43. | :24:45. | |
and to staff gives you a lot of insight into the details which are | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
also interesting although no one can see them but they change the mood of | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
the passenger or staff so it can be that the lighting is too harsh and | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
of course no one is going to write a letter about that but if you fix it, | :25:00. | :25:03. | |
it enhances the level of service because the customers and the staff | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
can feel that you really care. Now, let me update you on one of the most | :25:09. | :25:11. | |
read stories from the BBC at the moment. Over the last few hours, | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
we've been told that Sinead O'Connor was missing but the much better news | :25:17. | :25:19. | |
is that she has been safely located after she had been reported missing | :25:20. | :25:26. | |
by the police in Chicago. Police in the north of Chicago had been | :25:27. | :25:29. | |
telling us that she had gone out early in the morning on Sunday in a | :25:30. | :25:34. | |
place called Wilmette and that she had not been heard from, but as we | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
have just seen, the police are now saying she has been located, which | :25:40. | :25:42. | |
is excellent news. This is the end of the first half of outside source. | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
I will be back in the second half and we will have more of the | :25:48. | :25:50. | |
celebrations in Leicester as the team parade the Premier League | :25:51. | :25:53. | |
trophy and we will hear from the man whose firm left that dummy device at | :25:54. | :25:57. | |
old Trafford yesterday. | :25:58. | :26:08. |
