Hello, while Ross Atkins, welcome to outside source. Brazil has a new | :00:10. | :00:23. | |
president. In the last few minutes he has been sworn in as president of | :00:24. | :00:30. | |
Brazil. Hours earlier Dilma Rousseff was stripped of the presidency. This | :00:31. | :00:36. | |
is a meeting not many predicted. Donald Trump of Mexico to meet the | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
president. He wants to build a wall on the US, Mexico border. More | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
dramatic pictures have been released from the Mediterranean today, over | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
10,000 migrants have been rescued just since Sunday. We have a report | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
from Sicily where many are coming ashore. We've had this report from | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
Alastair Leithead on the dramatic fall in Africa's elephant | :01:01. | :01:06. | |
population. We've been flying along this flood plain that divides | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
Namibia and Botswana. All the way along here we've been seeing | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
carcasses of elephants, some four months old, some less than a week. | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
Transfer deadline day. Premier League clubs have spent over ?1 | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
billion in this transfer window, we bring you up to date with who's | :01:23. | :01:29. | |
coming or going. David Luiz looks like he's returning to Chelsea. | :01:30. | :01:46. | |
Let me begin by bringing some copy that has come into the BBC newsroom | :01:47. | :01:53. | |
in the last few minutes concerning what's happening in Brazil. This | :01:54. | :02:01. | |
tells us that Michel Temer has been sworn in as the new president of | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
Brazil, just hours after Dilma Rousseff was dismissed from that | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
office by the Senate. She has always maintained she is innocent of all | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
the allegations and maintained the entire impeachment process was an | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
attempted coup. She remains defiant, saying, right now I will not say | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
goodbye to you... Don't for a minute think this | :02:21. | :02:31. | |
changing president will offer Brazil and its politics a clean start, this | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
is a tweet from Simon Romero, Euro chief in Brazil. | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
As I've been mentioning in the short term Michel Temer is taking over, he | :02:44. | :02:52. | |
was vice president. Let me show you inside the Senate. Live pictures | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
coming in. At the moment. Apologise, this is from a few minutes ago with | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
Michel Temer being sworn in as the new president. In theory, he'll | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
serve out the remainder of this presidential term, taking him into | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
2018. We shall see if he gets that far. Let's talk to our Latin America | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
editor. We talked last night, you said this was going to happen, it | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
has happened. It's not a shock but it's a shock to reflect these 13 | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
years of 1-party being in power in Brazil have come to an end. It was | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
unprecedented as well because it was the first time you had a left-wing | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
government being elected in Brazil, which has been traditionally a very | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
conservative country. They were elected because of President Lula, | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
who was very popular. That has ended. Dilma Rousseff is the first | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
woman elected president in Brazil, so for many it is a sad day, the end | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
of an era. What you have is traditional politicians taking over. | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
Other people say it's a new start for Brazil, that got rid of an | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
unpopular government, that has led to many corruption scandals. Is this | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
an unpopular politician in Dilma Rousseff or unpopular party? Is this | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
left-wing project fallen out of favour? I think in a way she has | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
become more popular over the last few let's say, months, because she | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
was cornered. She was just defending herself and came out in a different | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
light now. She said she fought the military dictatorship, that's the | :04:27. | :04:33. | |
second coup she is fighting back. We had the surprising decision to split | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
the vote. She's been impeached but she can run for office. She is very | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
unlikely to run for president again but she could run for governor, or | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
one of the big states, Rio for example, she could run for the | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
Senate. It gave the party a bit of. What you have in Brazil is a very | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
divided country, people are divided on both sides, some people | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
celebrating, some people very sad, people very angry. It is split | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
country, like I think I have never seen. Thank you very much indeed, | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
Leonardo. If you speak Portuguese you can get coverage of this story | :05:09. | :05:15. | |
through BBC Brasil .com. Let's continue our coverage of this and | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
speak to the BBC's Julia Carneros, who joins us live. Tell us more | :05:20. | :05:30. | |
about the man taking over. -- Carneiro. That's Michel Temer, the | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
former vice president of Dilma Rousseff. He's just been inaugurated | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
as the official president of Brazil to complete the term that ends at | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
the end of 2018. I was just inside the chamber, they performed the | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
national anthem. He saw the oath as Brazilian president. Today he is | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
already expected to travel to China to take part in the G20 summit and | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
meet with the Chinese president. There was even some rush of the | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
impeachment process so he could make this trip as the official president | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
of Brazil. It's going to be a policy shift for Brazil, for 13 years the | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
country was governed by a left-wing party and Michel Temer is from the | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
Conservative Party. He has promised to put the economy back on track. | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
For that he is promising to take some austerity measures. That will | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
include privatisations, it includes the intention to raise the | :06:26. | :06:32. | |
retirement age. Some very unpopular measures that we'll probably see | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
coming announced in the next few weeks, I suppose. | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
Tell me about the atmosphere in Brasilia, where you are. I'm | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
guessing many people who want to Dilma Rousseff out of the presidency | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
didn't actually believe they could do it. Yes, well, I think, as we | :06:49. | :06:57. | |
were just hearing now, the country is very split. Here in the Senate | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
the majority of senators that voted for her were celebrating the result | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
they have achieved. We heard from the former president Dilma Rousseff | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
today, she gave a very angry, convert its statement, saying she | :07:12. | :07:13. | |
won't accept this result, she's going to the Supreme Court to | :07:14. | :07:20. | |
appeal. She says now she will be part of the opposition monitoring | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
very closely what she called a crew mongering government. -- coup. She | :07:24. | :07:34. | |
said she questioned the authority of the Senate, what she called a Senate | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
of corrupt lawmakers, to impeach her. She was referring to the big | :07:39. | :07:46. | |
number of legislators in Brazilian Congress that have corruption | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
allegations against them. On the streets will have to see how the | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
population will respond. We've seen calls for people to go out and | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
celebrate but we've also seen calls for people to protest and fight | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
back. And now to fight against the government of President Michel | :08:04. | :08:04. | |
Temer. Thanks for bringing us up today, for | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
more background on what's happening in Brazil you can get it when ever | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
you want on the BBC News website. From Brazil to Mexico, because that | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
is where Donald Trump is. Is there to meet President Enrique Pena | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
Nieto. He won't be short of things to talk about. Here is what Mr Trump | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
has been saying about Mexicans. They are bringing drugs, they are | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
bringing crime, they are rapists. And some, I assume, good people. | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
We're going to have our border is nice and strong, we're going to | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
build the wall could build the Carneiro. I'm going to build a | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
Carneiro and Mexico's going to pay for it, right? We're going to do the | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
wall. And by the way, who's going to pay for the wall? Mexico's going to | :08:52. | :09:00. | |
pay for the wall. It hasn't all been one-way traffic, in March the | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
Mexican president compared Donald Trump's rhetoric to that of | :09:04. | :09:10. | |
Mussolini and Hitler. Now they are both starting a press conference. | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
After this meeting. Let's bring in the live feed and have a look at it | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
quickly. There they both are at the moment, statements being made into | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
Spanish, we'll keep an eye out for what Mr Trump says as well. The | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
issue of inviting Mr Trump has been hugely controversial, the Mexican | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
president tried to take to twitter to tell people why he had done this, | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
he talked about opening a dialogue that would help protect Mexicans | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
wherever they are. Nonetheless, it's been a tough sell. As BBC Mundo's | :09:40. | :09:46. | |
William Marcos was telling me, -- William Marquez. Mexicans getting in | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
touch with BBC Mundo were not happy. I guess for Donald Trump the stakes | :09:51. | :10:00. | |
aren't as high as the Mexican president, it can't go that wrong | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
for him? No, Donald Trump as we know likes to surprise people can he | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
likes to do dramatic things, he loves it when we talk about him, | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
which is what we're doing today. Ahead of his big immigration speech | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
in Arizona he makes a surprise visit to Mexico. Potentially looking | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
presidential and statesman-like. It's his first meeting with a | :10:20. | :10:21. | |
foreign leader since he announced his candidacy last year. It gives | :10:22. | :10:27. | |
him, possibly, the chance to express regret about some of his more | :10:28. | :10:33. | |
inflammatory rhetoric that's been rumoured here, predicted here. I | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
guess it gives him a chance to say to his banning voters in America, | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
you see, I reached out to Mexico, I said all of the things, I went there | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
and I visited, guess what? Hillary Clinton didn't go. There is an | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
upside for him. Hard to see the upside for Pena Nieto. | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
Translations are coming through on the newswires, he says he wants to | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
be a constructive neighbour for whoever wins the US presidency, I | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
guess he has to say that. In terms of Mr Trump, I guess if they're | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
partly because he needs more Hispanic votes than he is slated to | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
get. How crucial are the Hispanics to which way the presidency goes? | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
Hispanics have voted in large numbers, Democrat, recently. 50,000 | :11:19. | :11:25. | |
Hispanics turn 18 every month in the United States, a figure that | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
terrifies the Republican party, because they are losing all of those | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
voters. Donald Trump hasn't done himself any favours with Hispanic | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
voters with the kinds of things he's said about Mexicans. And that | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
proposal to build a wall and the proposal to deport 11 million people | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
here illegally, many of whom are Hispanic. It's hard to see a couple | :11:46. | :11:52. | |
of hours trip to Mexico City to meet with President Pena Nieto will make | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
much difference to his banning brokers. What they care about is | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
what he's going to do. Any chance the Republican candidate ever had of | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
winning over his banning brokers has pretty much been squashed by the | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
kinds of things Donald Trump has said. Where have we got to with Mr | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
Trump's campaign more broadly? We were talking about yet another major | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
reshuffle at the top, any evidence that reshuffle at the top of his | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
campaign is changing how he's going about things? You know, Ros, it's | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
interesting. I don't know if you remember around the time of the | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
conventions all of the people in Cleveland, the strategists in | :12:31. | :12:32. | |
Cleveland at the Republican convention, and at the Democratic | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
convention were saying, listen, what we're going to watch is what the | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
polls are saying at the beginning of September. Here we are nearly at the | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
beginning of September and pretty much all the polls have Hillary | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
Clinton comfortably ahead. It has to worry the Trump campaign which is | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
why he did this reshuffle. He's sort of been better behaved, we'll see | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
what his immigration policy looks like this evening. He's managed to | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
stick to a teleprompter for most of his speeches, there has been a | :13:02. | :13:03. | |
little less controversial, though he's had a few run-ins with | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
television personalities in the States. They'll be watching what he | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
says this evening to see if he can moderate some of that language of | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
his. Two statements from Donald Trump, one coming up shortly in this | :13:17. | :13:19. | |
press conference, we're keeping an eye out for that in Mexico City. | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
You'll then fly to Arizona and give a speech on immigration, we'll have | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
coverage of that a few hours down the track. In a few minutes we will | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
bring new OS business as usual. And talk about how much difference the | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
monsoon can make in India to the health of the Indian economy. One | :13:39. | :13:46. | |
way or the other. To a story from here in London, of a car being | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
chased by police crashing into a group of pedestrians and killing a | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
woman and a boy. This happened in south-east London. Three other | :13:57. | :13:59. | |
children have been seriously injured. The car was being pursued | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
along an area called Penge, when it struck the group earlier this | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
afternoon. A man has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by | :14:09. | :14:16. | |
dangerous driving. Many eyewitnesses saw this crash unfold. | :14:17. | :14:22. | |
When I got there there was five bodies underneath one car, | :14:23. | :14:25. | |
People passing by have come, tried to move the car and realised | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
there was two girls on the bonnet at the bottom of the car, so they | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
There was 20 guys around the car, all lifting the car up | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
and moving the car, so everybody could come out. | :14:40. | :14:53. | |
I'm Ros Atkins in the BBC newsroom. The lead story comes from Brazil | :14:54. | :14:59. | |
which has a new president. Michel Temer has been inaugurated just | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
hours after the Senate stripped Dilma Rousseff of the presidency. | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
Let's look through some of the main stories from BBC World Service as | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
well. This is quite something. The first time in 55 years, a scheduled | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
commercial flight has flown between the US and Cuba. Another sign of | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
improving relations. These are pictures of people getting off it | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
quite obviously. After it touched down in Cuba. That's from BBC Mundo. | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
BBC Burmese reports on a peace conference in Myanmar aimed at | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
ending decades of ethnic conflict. The military and 17 minority groups | :15:35. | :15:40. | |
are attending. Understandably, these pictures are being watched an awful | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
lot. This is a man... Goodness knows what he thought this was a good | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
idea. This is him unicycling on top of a huge chimney in Romania. He | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
does a couple of jumps. And carries a selfie stick while doing this 250 | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
metres high without a safety harness. He got down OK, thank | :15:59. | :16:01. | |
goodness. Next, I have a report from Alastair | :16:02. | :16:10. | |
Leithead to play you, on a growing crisis for Africa's elephants. An | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
aerial study has found the elephant population has dropped by a third in | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
just seven years. It also predicts half of the remaining elephants | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
could be gone with him ten years. The most dramatic population drops | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
are noted in Mozambique, The study spent two years flying a | :16:28. | :16:42. | |
plane half a million kilometres across these 18 countries. Alistair | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
has filmed this report in Botswana in the south of Africa. Before I | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
play it to you you may find images with in it upsetting. | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
What other way to count a whole continent of elephants | :16:57. | :16:59. | |
For two years, they have been flying just 300 feet | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
Sadly, their findings paint a depressing picture. | :17:05. | :17:19. | |
This is the cost of the poachers and traffickers serving Asia's | :17:20. | :17:21. | |
We've been flying along this flood pain that divides | :17:22. | :17:24. | |
All the way along here, we've been seeing carcasses of elephants, | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
some four months old, some less than a week old, | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
Each year, we are losing nearly 30,000 elephants. | :17:33. | :17:43. | |
If this current rate continues, within nine years, Africa could be | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
left with half the current estimate of African elephants. | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
Botswana has 40% of Africa's elephants but amid the worst drought | :17:53. | :17:55. | |
in decades, they are under increasing pressure. | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
The only way to protect them is to know how many | :18:00. | :18:01. | |
That means tranquillising some to fit satellite tracking collars. | :18:02. | :18:13. | |
It takes just a few minutes for the drugs to take effect. | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
You've got to be careful the trunk's not blocked. | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
This elephant is about 50 years old, given his size, and the fact | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
the collar has to be really big to get that GPS tracker | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
They are trying to work as quickly as they can so they | :18:31. | :18:35. | |
can get him round as soon as possible. | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
This map illustrates the movement of five | :18:41. | :18:51. | |
This shows how the elephants, the dots, used to travel | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
Elephants clearly have a cognitive ability to understand | :18:56. | :19:00. | |
where they are threatened and where they are safe, | :19:01. | :19:03. | |
and in this case they are seeking refuge and sanctuary in Botswana. | :19:04. | :19:05. | |
And the last true sanctuary for Africa's elephants is, | :19:06. | :19:15. | |
for the first time, now firmly in the poachers' sights. | :19:16. | :19:22. | |
Let's go back to what's happening in Mexico City, we were talking about | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
this a few moments ago. Donald Trump and the Mexican president are giving | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
a joint press conference after meeting. Donald Trump has said again | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
and again he wants to put a wall between Mexico and the US. The | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
reason I'm not staying on the Mexican president for any length of | :19:41. | :19:43. | |
time is not because I think he's less interesting than Donald Trump, | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
there is no translation on the feed coming in so we're not going to | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
broadcast what he's saying in Spanish. When Donald Trump starts to | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
speak we'll bring you some of that. The Mexican president has said he | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
wants to meet Donald Trump to get to know him committee expects to meet | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
Hillary Clinton soon, and the relationship, particularly security | :20:05. | :20:06. | |
cooperation between Mexico and the US, is critically important. Time | :20:07. | :20:14. | |
for Outside Source business. Nigeria has Africa's biggest economy but it | :20:15. | :20:17. | |
is in recession for the first time in more than a decade. It's happened | :20:18. | :20:23. | |
for one primary reason. The price of oil. We've talked many times about | :20:24. | :20:26. | |
this an outside source, it's gone down and down. Go back to 2014 it | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
was over $100 a barrel. The early part of the year it went very low, | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
still below $50 a barrel at the moment. Inevitably it is taking its | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
toll on Nigeria's economy. Here's Martin Patience. | :20:42. | :20:44. | |
The mega city of Lagos, Nigeria's economic muscle. It is reeling from | :20:45. | :20:52. | |
the country's worst economic crisis in years. Since when I was born I | :20:53. | :20:59. | |
never seen a worse economy like we are facing its now. Things are so | :21:00. | :21:05. | |
bad. Right now I have nothing doing because there was no job anywhere, | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
no business going on. So what are we doing in this country? Nothing. | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
Hunger everywhere. Here at the country's biggest port, plummeting | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
global oil prices are throttling trade and pushing up the price of | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
imports. These huge ships arrive here fall but they leave empty. | :21:25. | :21:30. | |
That's because Nigeria, apart from oil, produces almost nothing. It | :21:31. | :21:34. | |
imports practically everything it needs from cars to washing machines, | :21:35. | :21:40. | |
from raw materials to even food. When the country's ports are | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
suffering, it means the economy is facing a big shock. Nigerians are | :21:46. | :21:51. | |
grappling with high inflation. Many are struggling to keep their jobs. | :21:52. | :21:57. | |
So how do you kick-start growth? The government wants to see more | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
home-grown manufacturers like this one, producing buses and cars. | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
Changing Nigeria's economy won't be easy. The wheel is have come off and | :22:07. | :22:13. | |
it's going nowhere fast. Martin Patience, BBC News, Nigeria. We'll | :22:14. | :22:19. | |
come back to some other big business stories in a moment but Donald Trump | :22:20. | :22:26. | |
has started talking in Mexico City. ... Democracy, a great love for our | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
people, and the contributions of millions of Mexican Americans to the | :22:32. | :22:38. | |
United States. And I happen to have a tremendous feeling for Mexican | :22:39. | :22:44. | |
Americans, not only in terms of friendships, but in terms of the | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
tremendous numbers I employ in the United States. They are amazing | :22:49. | :22:54. | |
people, amazing people. I have many friends, so many friends, and so | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
many friends coming to Mexico and in Mexico. I'm proud to say how many | :22:59. | :23:05. | |
people I employ. And the United States first, second and | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
third-generation Mexicans are just beyond reproach. Spectacular, | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
spectacular, hard-working people. I have such great respect for them and | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
their strong values of family, faith and community. We all share a common | :23:22. | :23:27. | |
interest in keeping our hemisphere safe. Prosperous. And free. No one | :23:28. | :23:39. | |
wins in either country when human smugglers and drug traffickers prey | :23:40. | :23:46. | |
on innocent people. When cartels commit acts of violence, when | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
illegal weapons and cash flow from the United States into Mexico. Or | :23:51. | :23:58. | |
when migrants from Central America make the dangerous trek, and it is | :23:59. | :24:02. | |
very, very dangerous, into Mexico or the United States, without legal | :24:03. | :24:09. | |
authorisation. I shared my strong view that NAFTA has been a far | :24:10. | :24:15. | |
greater benefit to Mexico than it has been to the United States. And | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
that it must be improved upon to make sure that workers, and so | :24:20. | :24:27. | |
important, that both countries benefit from fair and reciprocal | :24:28. | :24:32. | |
trade. I expressed that to the United States, and that we must take | :24:33. | :24:41. | |
action to stem this tremendous outflow of jobs from our country. | :24:42. | :24:48. | |
It's happening every day, it's getting worse and worse and worse. | :24:49. | :24:54. | |
We have to stop it. Prosperity and happiness in both of our country | :24:55. | :24:58. | |
will increase if we work together on the following five shared goals. | :24:59. | :25:06. | |
Number one, ending illegal immigration. Not just between our | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
two countries, but including the illegal immigration and migration | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
from Central and South American 's, and from other regions, that impact | :25:17. | :25:22. | |
security and finances. In both Mexico and the United States. This | :25:23. | :25:30. | |
is a humanitarian disaster. The dangerous tricks, the abuse by gangs | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
and cartels, and the extreme physical dangers. It must be solved, | :25:36. | :25:44. | |
it must be solved quickly. Not fair to the people anywhere worldwide, | :25:45. | :25:51. | |
you can truly say, but certainly not fair to the people of Mexico or the | :25:52. | :25:54. | |
people of the United States. Number two, having a secure... Is a | :25:55. | :26:03. | |
sovereign right and mutually beneficial. -- secure border. We | :26:04. | :26:07. | |
recognise the right of either country to build a physical barrier | :26:08. | :26:11. | |
or wall on any of its borders to stop the illegal movement of people, | :26:12. | :26:19. | |
drugs and weapons. Cooperation toward achieving this shared | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
objective, and it will be shared, of safety for all citizens, is | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
paramount to both the United States and to Mexico. Number three. | :26:30. | :26:35. | |
Dismantling drug cartels and ending the movement of illegal drugs, | :26:36. | :26:43. | |
weapons and funds across our border. This can only be done with | :26:44. | :26:49. | |
cooperation, intelligence and intelligence sharing. And joint | :26:50. | :26:53. | |
operations between our two countries. It's the only way it's | :26:54. | :26:59. | |
going to happen. Improving NAFTA, number four. NAFTA is a 22-year-old | :27:00. | :27:06. | |
agreement that must be updated to reflect the realities of today. | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
There are many improvements that could be made that would make both | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
Mexico and the United states stronger, and keep industry in our | :27:17. | :27:23. | |
hemisphere. We have tremendous competition from China and from all | :27:24. | :27:28. | |
over the world, keep it in our hemisphere. Workers in both of our | :27:29. | :27:34. | |
countries need a pay raise very desperately. In the United States | :27:35. | :27:42. | |
it's been 18 years, 18 years wages are going down. Improving pay | :27:43. | :27:48. | |
standards, and working conditions, will create better results for all. | :27:49. | :27:53. | |
And all workers, in particular. There is a lot of value that can be | :27:54. | :27:58. | |
created for both countries by working beautifully together. And | :27:59. | :28:04. | |
that, I am sure, will happen. Number five. Keep manufacturing wealth in | :28:05. | :28:14. | |
our hemisphere. When jobs leave Mexico, the US or Central America, | :28:15. | :28:18. | |
and go overseas, it increases poverty and pressure on social | :28:19. | :28:24. | |
services, as well as pressures on cross-border migration. Tremendous | :28:25. | :28:33. | |
pressure. The bond between our two countries is deep and sincere. And | :28:34. | :28:37. | |
both our nations benefit from a close and honest relationship | :28:38. | :28:45. | |
between our two governments. A strong, prosperous and vibrant | :28:46. | :28:48. | |
Mexico is in the best interests of the United States. And we'll keep | :28:49. | :28:55. | |
and help keep for a long long period of time, America together. Both of | :28:56. | :29:01. | |
our countries will work together for mutual good, and, most importantly, | :29:02. | :29:08. | |
for the mutual good of our people. Mr President, I want to thank you, | :29:09. | :29:14. | |
it's been a tremendous honour. And I call you a friend. Thank you. | :29:15. | :29:25. | |
Mr Trump! Mr Trump! This is the Mexican president Enrique Pena Nieto | :29:26. | :29:35. | |
and Donald Trump, they've both given statements, they are now taking | :29:36. | :29:38. | |
questions. They are in Mexico City having held a meeting. The Mexican | :29:39. | :29:42. | |
president said he'd also be meeting Hillary Clinton in due course, let's | :29:43. | :29:46. | |
listen to what's being said. ... More than an hour, I think, really | :29:47. | :29:55. | |
very good. Say it, yes. No, not at all. Look, we want what's good for | :29:56. | :29:59. | |
the United States. The president wants what's good for Mexico. In | :30:00. | :30:03. | |
sitting down and talking we both realised, we've realised from the | :30:04. | :30:07. | |
beginning, it's good for both of us. Better for both of us, actually. | :30:08. | :30:08. | |
Yes, John? We didn't discuss that. We didn't | :30:09. | :30:19. | |
discuss who pays for the wall, we didn't discuss it. Do you accept | :30:20. | :30:31. | |
that Mexico or Mexicans... INAUDIABLE | :30:32. | :30:43. | |
Well, I'll start, I mean nothing like an easy question like that. We | :30:44. | :30:50. | |
didn't discuss the wall, we didn't discuss payment of the war, that | :30:51. | :30:55. | |
will be for a later date. This was a very preliminary meeting, I think it | :30:56. | :30:59. | |
was an excellent meeting -- payment of the wall. We are well on our way. | :31:00. | :31:05. | |
A lot of things I said are strong, but we have to be strong, there is a | :31:06. | :31:09. | |
lot of crime, as we know, and there are a lot of problems, but I think | :31:10. | :31:13. | |
together we will solve those problems. I really believe that the | :31:14. | :31:17. | |
president and I will solve those problems, we will get them solved. | :31:18. | :31:22. | |
Illegal immigration is a problem for Mexico as well as was. Drugs or a | :31:23. | :31:25. | |
tremendous problem for Mexico as well as for us, it isn't a one-way | :31:26. | :31:30. | |
street. We will work together, we will get those problems solved. | :31:31. | :31:41. | |
STUDIO: I'm afraid we don't have translation for the Spanish that is | :31:42. | :31:47. | |
being spoken by the Mexican president. While we're looking at | :31:48. | :31:53. | |
these pictures, let's look at the priorities Donald Trump as laid out | :31:54. | :31:58. | |
Mexico and America to work together. His tone was prior to and, then we | :31:59. | :32:04. | |
have heard in rallies in the US in the last few months -- quieter. He | :32:05. | :32:09. | |
was also looking down at his notes all the way through. The five points | :32:10. | :32:14. | |
he said were, let's end illegal immigration, let's secure the border | :32:15. | :32:18. | |
in a mutually beneficial way, let's dismantle drug cartels, that is a | :32:19. | :32:23. | |
lot easier said than done. He wants the North America free trade | :32:24. | :32:26. | |
agreement be renegotiated, saying that at the moment it threatens | :32:27. | :32:30. | |
America boss Mike interests more than it does Mexico's. And he said, | :32:31. | :32:36. | |
keep manufacturing wealth in our hemisphere. Well, watching all of | :32:37. | :32:44. | |
that was the BBC's Anthony Zurcher in Washington. Let's might bring him | :32:45. | :32:46. | |
here live on Outside Source. That was pretty interesting? Absolutely. | :32:47. | :32:50. | |
Talking about hemispheric economic concerns, not American economic | :32:51. | :32:52. | |
concerns. I don't think that credit line would play when he is beginning | :32:53. | :32:57. | |
to his raucous rallies in Ohio or Pennsylvania where he has told them | :32:58. | :33:02. | |
that is as American jobs and manufacturing that is being picked | :33:03. | :33:05. | |
up and moved to Mexico, not just overseas. But now, in front of the | :33:06. | :33:09. | |
Mexican audience coming he is talking about, it is Mexico's | :33:10. | :33:15. | |
concerns and America's concerns that manufacturing is going someplace | :33:16. | :33:18. | |
else. Definitely a different from today. Biton is in stock contrast to | :33:19. | :33:28. | |
anything I have seen from him in the last few months -- Biton. Maybe this | :33:29. | :33:31. | |
is diplomatic Donald Trump. Very controlled and scripted. Every | :33:32. | :33:33. | |
single word was planned out and he stuck with it. Now he is talking and | :33:34. | :33:37. | |
answering questions to the press, it will be interesting to see if he | :33:38. | :33:41. | |
strays off message. That is where he has gotten in trouble in the past. | :33:42. | :33:45. | |
Not when he has read is beat off et al prompter, but when he is winging | :33:46. | :33:50. | |
it and trying to talk off the cuff. -- a teleprompter. All of this is of | :33:51. | :33:54. | |
course primarily aimed at the audience back home. What is he | :33:55. | :33:59. | |
trying to achieve here with this quieter tone, more considered tone, | :34:00. | :34:03. | |
and quite detailed policies, the like of which, again, he hasn't | :34:04. | :34:08. | |
offered us in the past? Well, one of the criticisms that Hillary Clinton | :34:09. | :34:11. | |
has lobbed at him time and time again is that he is reckless on the | :34:12. | :34:15. | |
world stage, we don't know what we will get went on from that of their | :34:16. | :34:19. | |
negotiating with our allies and bar enemies. -- point Donald Trump | :34:20. | :34:23. | |
stands there. The purpose was to put him on the international stage and | :34:24. | :34:26. | |
show that he can be measured, reasoned, he is not a firebrand, not | :34:27. | :34:31. | |
somebody who is reckless, not somebody who could endanger American | :34:32. | :34:35. | |
interests by speaking off-the-cuff or saying something intemperate. | :34:36. | :34:42. | |
Thank you, Anthony. Anthony Zurcher, live from Washington, we will be | :34:43. | :34:47. | |
speaking to him and Katie Kelly every day. Let's turn the sport. | :34:48. | :34:54. | |
Most of you watching, lots of football fans around the world, know | :34:55. | :34:59. | |
full well it is European football's transfer deadline day. This is the | :35:00. | :35:02. | |
last-minute frenzy when lots of clubs have to give up on their ideas | :35:03. | :35:06. | |
of carefully planned transfer policies and buy and sell what other | :35:07. | :35:09. | |
players they can in the last few hours of the transfer window. Pretty | :35:10. | :35:13. | |
good entertainment. I recommend the live page of the BBC's bought up if | :35:14. | :35:17. | |
you want to follow every twist and turn. Let me wrong you through some | :35:18. | :35:25. | |
of the big moves -- BBC sport up a big surprise to see this shaping up. | :35:26. | :35:28. | |
Chelsea have agreed terms with Paris Saint-Germain for Dyfed Louise. That | :35:29. | :35:32. | |
is a fee of around ?34 million. -- Dyfed Louise. I'm not sure many | :35:33. | :35:38. | |
Chelsea fans expected that to happen. Liverpool wanted to get rid | :35:39. | :35:42. | |
of Mario Balotelli. They have sent on loan to Nice. They haven't sold | :35:43. | :35:47. | |
him, though. Also a loan deal for Wilfried Bony, he is going to | :35:48. | :35:51. | |
Manchester city on loan. All of these transfers, with many others, | :35:52. | :35:56. | |
have added up to the most spectacular transfer window we have | :35:57. | :36:01. | |
seen. Over ?1 billion has been spent in this transfer window. Let's look | :36:02. | :36:04. | |
through some of the deals that are adding up to that. He is Steve | :36:05. | :36:11. | |
White, live from the BBC sports centre. Let's talk about David Luiz. | :36:12. | :36:15. | |
Yesterday, everybody was rubbishing this and saying their weight would | :36:16. | :36:19. | |
happen. Is it a done deal? It is, he is coming back to the Premier | :36:20. | :36:23. | |
League. He is coming back to Chelsea. A player who left Chelsea | :36:24. | :36:26. | |
for Paris Saint-Germain couple of years ago in what was then I | :36:27. | :36:29. | |
watering about of money, ?50 million. -- and I watering. Chelsea | :36:30. | :36:36. | |
have made a profit, he is coming back for ?32 million. That is a good | :36:37. | :36:40. | |
bit of business for Chelsea, but certainly the most eye-catching of | :36:41. | :36:43. | |
the deal so far on transfer deadline day. David Luiz coming back to West | :36:44. | :36:48. | |
London, to rejoin Chelsea, to give Antonio Conte a bit of strength and | :36:49. | :36:53. | |
depth as they look to chase the Premier League title this season. | :36:54. | :36:57. | |
There has been inflation within the Premier League for years. But why | :36:58. | :37:01. | |
are the prices spiking so much this year? Is it simply TV money? | :37:02. | :37:05. | |
Absolutely, the spending power of Premier League clubs is really | :37:06. | :37:09. | |
driven by the value of the television rights. A new five per ?1 | :37:10. | :37:13. | |
billion deal kicked in ahead of the season. That completely dwarfs | :37:14. | :37:19. | |
anything else in work full ball -- ?5.1 billion. -- anything else in | :37:20. | :37:24. | |
world football. They are outbidding continental rivals for the best | :37:25. | :37:27. | |
players. Also offering players better contracts, more money than | :37:28. | :37:30. | |
they can get anywhere else. That is why they want to come to England. | :37:31. | :37:35. | |
Premier League clubs have spent over $1 billion in this transfer window | :37:36. | :37:38. | |
during the month of August, that is a new record for a transfer window, | :37:39. | :37:43. | |
and 12 of the clubs have broken the road transfer records. That is why | :37:44. | :37:46. | |
the players want to come to the Premier League is and why the other | :37:47. | :37:49. | |
leagues in Europe simple can't compete. How long have we got to go? | :37:50. | :37:55. | |
We are one hour and 22 minutes remaining before top-flight clubs in | :37:56. | :37:59. | |
England, that is in the Premier League, to once again show their | :38:00. | :38:02. | |
financial strength. Thank you, Steve. As I was saying, if you want | :38:03. | :38:06. | |
to follow transfer deadline day, one of the best places to do that, you | :38:07. | :38:11. | |
can do it on BBC five live radio, but also the live page on the BBC | :38:12. | :38:16. | |
sport out. Let's turned a far more important matters. All week we have | :38:17. | :38:20. | |
been reporting on this surge in the number of people being rescued in | :38:21. | :38:24. | |
the Mediterranean. The primary reason this surge is happening is | :38:25. | :38:28. | |
because the weather conditions are calm. Let me show you some of the | :38:29. | :38:31. | |
most recent pictures that have come into the BBC newsroom. This is taken | :38:32. | :38:36. | |
from a Norwegian ship that helped 1000 migrants to be rescued, | :38:37. | :38:39. | |
including that baby you can see being held in the bottom left of the | :38:40. | :38:45. | |
shop. 1000 people being taken out of eight rubber boats like the one you | :38:46. | :38:49. | |
can see in this shot. Yesterday we were talking about this, the Italian | :38:50. | :38:53. | |
post card saying it had experienced its busiest day ever. We know that | :38:54. | :38:57. | |
in total over 10,000 people have now been rescued from the Mediterranean | :38:58. | :39:01. | |
just since Sunday -- B Italian coastguard. The boat I just showed | :39:02. | :39:07. | |
you arrived in Sardinia, thousands more migrants though going to | :39:08. | :39:09. | |
Sicily. Those are the ones that have been picked up by the Italian | :39:10. | :39:13. | |
coastguard. Ed Thomas is therefore the BBC. | :39:14. | :39:22. | |
10,000 men, women and children have arrived in Italy in this Italian | :39:23. | :39:29. | |
navy vessel. We have got nearly 700 people. Take a look at their faces. | :39:30. | :39:33. | |
Those men looked absolutely bewildered. That is because they | :39:34. | :39:38. | |
have been at the since Monday. On a smugglers' boat, stranded before | :39:39. | :39:45. | |
they were picked up by the Navy. We are waiting for the authorities here | :39:46. | :39:49. | |
to process these people. If you take a look down there, you can sleep | :39:50. | :39:54. | |
thanks being given to all the men, women and children who arrived -- | :39:55. | :40:02. | |
packs. They are also given numbers. -- tags. Before them it that they | :40:03. | :40:08. | |
make their way across the being searched and identified -- before | :40:09. | :40:11. | |
they make their way across to be searched and identified. This woman, | :40:12. | :40:15. | |
all that she owns the clothes on her back. She has been given a new pair | :40:16. | :40:19. | |
of shoes because she hasn't got any. But these are the lucky ones, | :40:20. | :40:23. | |
because they have made it clear to Europe. And so many haven't. Nearly | :40:24. | :40:30. | |
3000 have died crossing from Libya to Italy just this year alone. All | :40:31. | :40:34. | |
these people will now be processed and then the migrant camps around | :40:35. | :40:39. | |
Italy. And the people here, the authorities, Frontex, the EU border | :40:40. | :40:44. | |
agency, are well used to doing this. But it was only a year ago that | :40:45. | :40:47. | |
European Union leaders got together and pledged to take on the | :40:48. | :40:52. | |
smugglers. The people traffickers, they pledged to bring order to this | :40:53. | :40:56. | |
chaos. But a year on, still the boats arrive and the people come to | :40:57. | :41:04. | |
Europe. And many here wondering what has changed, and when will this | :41:05. | :41:11. | |
crisis end. Of course, the crisis has been going on for many months. | :41:12. | :41:15. | |
If you want background information on what has been happening during | :41:16. | :41:19. | |
those months, you can find it online on BBC News whenever you want to | :41:20. | :41:23. | |
access that. I will let you decide whether you think this story can be | :41:24. | :41:27. | |
described as progress. Amazon has launched a new product in the UK, | :41:28. | :41:31. | |
called Amazon bash, or it has already been in the US for a year, | :41:32. | :41:36. | |
it provides you with a series of buttons, you put them around the | :41:37. | :41:39. | |
house and you press them when you want to reorder things like washing | :41:40. | :41:43. | |
liquid, toilet paper, coffee, lots of other things. Theo Leggett | :41:44. | :41:49. | |
explains more. Just a little Wi-Fi device, basically. They are | :41:50. | :41:53. | |
connected to an app, say on your smartphone, which you have set up | :41:54. | :41:56. | |
toward a particular products. You need a different button for each | :41:57. | :42:00. | |
product. When you press it, it will know what you want, for example, a | :42:01. | :42:04. | |
new delivery of toilet roll, and it will arrange for you to get them. A | :42:05. | :42:09. | |
lot of them are branded. That goes against what Amazon does, offering | :42:10. | :42:10. | |
you a bargain on one product or another. This commits you to buying | :42:11. | :42:26. | |
the same type of toilet roll coffee. That is exactly the argument against | :42:27. | :42:28. | |
it. It becomes more of a problem when you have for examples not | :42:29. | :42:31. | |
washing machines which can order their own washing power supplies | :42:32. | :42:33. | |
through a parallel service called dash punishment. You are not aware | :42:34. | :42:37. | |
of the price is the same as the previous time, because there is no | :42:38. | :42:40. | |
automatic system for alerting you unless you request a text message | :42:41. | :42:44. | |
for example. In this new world of intelligent devices, the problem is, | :42:45. | :42:47. | |
you can sometimes get a bill that you are not expecting. Isn't the | :42:48. | :42:52. | |
other problem that we are going to end up with homes with lots of | :42:53. | :42:56. | |
branded bottoms all over them, not very attractive. Isn't it better to | :42:57. | :42:59. | |
have one console with all of these things in one place? It may well end | :43:00. | :43:03. | |
up like that. This is the early stages of a different way of doing | :43:04. | :43:07. | |
your shopping. Amazon has a reputation for trying lots of | :43:08. | :43:09. | |
different things, delivery by drones is another one. What we -- what we | :43:10. | :43:16. | |
may well end up with is internet connected devices which will order | :43:17. | :43:19. | |
on your behalf, but the way in which they do that will change. This has | :43:20. | :43:23. | |
been going in the US. Has it been popular? Amazon is a bit cautious | :43:24. | :43:27. | |
with its figures. It claimed that the number of people using this | :43:28. | :43:31. | |
device has been going up. On the other hand, independent research has | :43:32. | :43:34. | |
been carried out suggesting that you have had a surge of early adopters, | :43:35. | :43:41. | |
the people who like the technology, but a lot of these buttons, once | :43:42. | :43:43. | |
they have been purchased, don't actually do anything, they just get | :43:44. | :43:46. | |
there. But we are not sure if this is going to take off in a big way. | :43:47. | :43:51. | |
Amazon being the company that it is and wanting to lock purchases into | :43:52. | :43:54. | |
using its systems, is going to give it a try. If you use it, let me know | :43:55. | :44:00. | |
how you get on. I'm intrigued. We have been talking with Ed Thomas | :44:01. | :44:03. | |
about the migrant crisis. I'm going to play you a report from Quentin | :44:04. | :44:07. | |
Somerville who has been speaking to one migrant, who, after several | :44:08. | :44:10. | |
attempts, did manage to get into Europe and is now in Germany. | :44:11. | :44:18. | |
Junior doctors in England are to go on strike for five consecutive days | :44:19. | :44:25. | |
six months. It is a protest over their contracts. New terms and | :44:26. | :44:27. | |
conditions are being imposed by the government after members of the | :44:28. | :44:31. | |
doctors union, the BMA, rejected a deal which had been brokered by | :44:32. | :44:34. | |
their leaders, the Department of Health has accused the BMA of | :44:35. | :44:40. | |
playing politics. But the chair of the BMA doctors, junior doctors | :44:41. | :44:42. | |
committee, says that they have been left little choice. Nick Qureshi has | :44:43. | :44:45. | |
more. There have already been six | :44:46. | :44:52. | |
walk-outs in England. All-out strikes taking place | :44:53. | :44:54. | |
from 8am to 5pm from the 12th to the 16th of September, | :44:55. | :44:58. | |
with more dates to follow. The year began with the first | :44:59. | :45:00. | |
strike, and doctors walking The action then escalated, | :45:01. | :45:03. | |
with the first all-out A month later, the doctors' | :45:04. | :45:05. | |
union and the Department The deal was agreed, | :45:06. | :45:09. | |
but then rejected by 58% Perhaps 100,000 operations will now | :45:10. | :45:12. | |
have to be cancelled. Around 1 million hospital | :45:13. | :45:19. | |
appointments will have to be postponed, causing worry, | :45:20. | :45:21. | |
distress and anxiety for families up And people will rightly ask | :45:22. | :45:25. | |
themselves why the BMA, who championed this deal as a good | :45:26. | :45:30. | |
deal for doctors and a good deal for patients only in May, | :45:31. | :45:34. | |
are now saying that it is such a bad deal that they want to inflict | :45:35. | :45:37. | |
the worst doctors' strike in NHS history on patients, | :45:38. | :45:40. | |
making them absolutely miserable. Junior doctors still | :45:41. | :45:47. | |
have major concerns. They want better pay | :45:48. | :45:49. | |
for weekend working, more detail on how to achieve | :45:50. | :45:51. | |
seven-day services, and better protection for women | :45:52. | :45:53. | |
and part-time workers. We've had a very difficult | :45:54. | :45:58. | |
conversation at the BMA. No doctors want to take industrial | :45:59. | :46:00. | |
action. But the silence from the Government, | :46:01. | :46:03. | |
the lack of a response, and the rejection of the contract | :46:04. | :46:06. | |
by junior doctors has meant that really we were left with no other | :46:07. | :46:09. | |
choice today than to take Last month, the Government announced | :46:10. | :46:12. | |
it would impose the new contract The public that I have spoken to | :46:13. | :46:25. | |
understand the dispute that junior doctors are in at the moment. They | :46:26. | :46:28. | |
understand that this contract is being forced upon them, and it is | :46:29. | :46:32. | |
not fair for the doctors and not sustainable for the NHS. | :46:33. | :46:34. | |
Last month, the Government announced it would impose the new contract | :46:35. | :46:37. | |
on England's junior doctors in October. | :46:38. | :46:38. | |
Now, as more strike dates are announced, this bitter dispute | :46:39. | :46:41. | |
has taken a new turn, and nobody knows when it will end. | :46:42. | :46:55. | |
Hello, welcome back to the BBC newsroom, this is Outside Source. | :46:56. | :47:02. | |
Donald Trump has met with the Mexican president, Enrique Pinner. | :47:03. | :47:06. | |
He has just finished the press conference. Mr Trump struck a | :47:07. | :47:10. | |
consolatory tone, saying that they shared a hemisphere. Let me show you | :47:11. | :47:16. | |
what is coming up after Outside Source. If you are watching outside | :47:17. | :47:20. | |
of the UK, it is World News Today. She will have more on the new | :47:21. | :47:25. | |
Brazilian president, just hours after Dilma Rouseff was stripped of | :47:26. | :47:28. | |
the presidency. The new president has been addressing the nation in | :47:29. | :47:32. | |
the last few minutes, saying he will put the country by contract. Here in | :47:33. | :47:37. | |
the UK, the News at 10pm is next with Huw Edwards. Theresa May's | :47:38. | :47:40. | |
first Cabinet meeting after summer break covered Grexit, | :47:41. | :47:46. | |
unsurprisingly, which was top of the agenda. She says that the UK should | :47:47. | :47:50. | |
focus on the opportunities that Brexit should bring. As we have | :47:51. | :47:54. | |
mentioned several times, over 10,000 migrants have been rescued from the | :47:55. | :47:58. | |
Mediterranean just since Sunday. And many of them have been trying to | :47:59. | :48:03. | |
reach Europe from Libya. Well, this is the story of 19-year-old | :48:04. | :48:08. | |
Mohammed. He tried to make this journey more than once, and did | :48:09. | :48:12. | |
eventually succeed, making it the Germany. Quentin Somerville has been | :48:13. | :48:21. | |
speaking to him. It's a powerful thing - the promise of Europe. It | :48:22. | :48:27. | |
has brought 1 million across the Mediterranean. And it is still | :48:28. | :48:31. | |
costing thousands to their death. In a sea of faces making the dangerous | :48:32. | :48:36. | |
journey from Libya, some stand out. Last April, Mohammed from Gambia. We | :48:37. | :48:44. | |
have been here about two years now, trying to go to Italy. I am trying | :48:45. | :48:50. | |
to go. Already three times, they sent me back. It is my chance. | :48:51. | :48:57. | |
Because we can say, Europe is better than Africa. Everybody on the | :48:58. | :49:01. | |
quayside that day was thrown in jail. But not Mohammed. He gave the | :49:02. | :49:07. | |
authorities the slip, and was back stacking vegetables again in | :49:08. | :49:11. | |
Tripoli. Months later, we went looking for him. Do you know where | :49:12. | :49:18. | |
he is now? He just called me from Italy, he says he is going straight | :49:19. | :49:22. | |
to Germany. And that is where we caught up with him. Far from | :49:23. | :49:29. | |
Tripoli, in a small German town. To get here, he paid a people-smuggler | :49:30. | :49:34. | |
the last of his savings, ?500 for one last Crossing. I took the boat | :49:35. | :49:42. | |
again. We were lost, and we had to go back again. Nearly two days we | :49:43. | :49:51. | |
were in the water. That was the fifth time that I was in Italy. And | :49:52. | :49:58. | |
I didn't believe it! I said, oh my God, this is just amazing. This | :49:59. | :50:03. | |
journey took stamina, courage, and nearly two years. He is now learning | :50:04. | :50:08. | |
German, and competing in long-distance running. But for some | :50:09. | :50:14. | |
of his friends, they made it from Libya to Europe in only two weeks. | :50:15. | :50:19. | |
Just look at this. Compared to Libya, it is paradise. And for | :50:20. | :50:23. | |
Mohammed and others, Europe has suddenly become more attractive, it | :50:24. | :50:26. | |
is just that smuggling has become more organised and it is unhindered. | :50:27. | :50:31. | |
If you are determined, as Mohammed was, and you are prepared to risk | :50:32. | :50:33. | |
your life, getting here is straightforward. Young Gambians, I | :50:34. | :50:43. | |
can advise them not to take the journey, because it is not safe. But | :50:44. | :50:48. | |
if I say that, as I was saying that, they would say I am selfish. I am | :50:49. | :50:54. | |
here, and I don't want them to come. His determination is exceptional. | :50:55. | :50:58. | |
But his story isn't. In the time Mohammed has been here, more than a | :50:59. | :51:02. | |
quarter of a million have made the same Crossing. More than 3000 have | :51:03. | :51:06. | |
died. Mohammed, though, has won his right to stay. | :51:07. | :51:11. | |
I want to finish today's Outside Source with the result from the | :51:12. | :51:21. | |
pop-up team. They have been in India, Kenya, and the US. They have | :51:22. | :51:27. | |
been on a 31 hour train journey on the trans-Siberian Railway, which of | :51:28. | :51:30. | |
course gave them plenty of time to talk to the passengers. Who should | :51:31. | :51:33. | |
become the topic, but the manner we have just spent the last hour | :51:34. | :51:36. | |
talking about, Donald Trump. -- the man. We are at the trains Asian in | :51:37. | :51:44. | |
Moscow. We are about to hop on the train, bus or reason -- train | :51:45. | :51:49. | |
station. We are on a 31 hour train journey across Russia to go on the | :51:50. | :51:51. | |
trans-Siberian railway. Having recently flown in from the | :51:52. | :52:16. | |
US, where there is a heated presidential election going on, I | :52:17. | :52:20. | |
would be curious what Russian passengers on board this train think | :52:21. | :52:24. | |
about the United States right now, and more specifically, what they | :52:25. | :52:25. | |
think about Donald Trump. You can find all of the BBC pop-up | :52:26. | :54:29. | |
reports online. Let me remind you of the two main stories this hour. | :54:30. | :54:32. | |
Donald Trump has been giving a press conference with the Mexican | :54:33. | :54:36. | |
president. Mr Trump said it was a positive meeting, and they both | :54:37. | :54:40. | |
agreed that America and Mexico need to work together to stop illegal | :54:41. | :54:43. | |
immigration, and he reiterated he still wants to build that wall. The | :54:44. | :54:47. | |
other main story is that Brazil has a new president in the form of | :54:48. | :54:53. | |
Michelle De Melo. After Dilma Rouseff was stripped of the | :54:54. | :55:02. | |
presidency a few hours ago -- Michel Temer. I will be back the same time | :55:03. | :55:04. | |
tomorrow. Goodbye. | :55:05. | :55:07. |
