UN leaders gather to try to end the suffering. | :00:17. | :00:18. | |
We'll meet the Brits who've moved to California to try to make it big | :00:19. | :00:27. | |
The boss of Wells Fargo gets a grilling today | :00:28. | :00:48. | |
from US politicians about the banks heavy sales tactics. | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
We start with the refugee crisis that's dominated so much | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
Global leaders are in New York for a summit on how | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
And they've got a huge task on their hands. | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
The United Nations estimates that more 65 million | :01:04. | :01:05. | |
people around the world have been forced from the homes. | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
And 80% of refugees are settled in developing economies | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
The World Bank is calling on world powers to help | :01:11. | :01:19. | |
45 countries are expected to increase aid | :01:20. | :01:28. | |
They're also expected to focus on creating better access | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
Guy Ryder is the director general of the International Labour | :01:34. | :01:42. | |
Organisation and joins us now from New York. | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
Garay, I understand you are there for this refugees summit from the | :01:48. | :01:55. | |
United United Nations. How do countries go about finding work for | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
refugees, many of these countries we have discussed have got their own | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
unemployment crisis going on? -- Guy. You're right. Looking at | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
Jordan, which you mention, local unemployment in Jordan is 12 or 13%. | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
Now they have got the task of dealing with about 1.5 million | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
Syrian refugees in their midst. I think the first thing to say, and | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
this is really to the fore in the summit meeting in New York, is | :02:24. | :02:32. | |
shared responsibility. It is simply not reasonable or possible to expect | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
those developing countries, which, by the accident of geographical | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
proximity, are bearing most of the responsibility at the moment to do | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
it on their own. Shared responsibility is one part of the | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
job but practical efforts to help out these countries is another. | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
Labour market access we have to be clear is a fundamental effort of the | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
response to the refugee crisis. It is estimated that the average stay | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
of a refugee in their host country is 17 years. Now, those people will | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
work, they will find their way into labour markets one way or another. | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
We have to manage that access. How it is managed is critical, isn't it? | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
In some countries, like we have discussed, Ethiopia for example, I | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
know you had a report earlier this month talking about youth | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
unemployment. It is chronic in North Africa, almost 30%. You're | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
absolutely right. We have to deal with these problems in a way which | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
addresses the needs of local populations as well as refugees. Of | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
course, that's easy to say and much more difficult to do. In the case of | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
Jordan I think you've got the most comprehensive response. The Jordan | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
packed so-called involves a major international effort to mobilise | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
investment, the setting up of economic zones, which are going to | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
be coupled with relaxation of rules of origin to give Jordan Jordanian | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
garments in particular better access to European markets. -- Jordan pact. | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
The hope is you can boost the economy and pull up a refugees as | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
you do, but also helping the local population. The fact we are dealing | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
with this refugee crisis against a background of chronic global | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
unemployment just makes the problem worse. We really appreciate you | :04:16. | :04:23. | |
staying up for us in New York, Guy Ryder, director-general of the | :04:24. | :04:24. | |
International Labour Organisation. The boss of Wells Fargo bank | :04:25. | :04:25. | |
testifies before the US John Stumpf is expected to apologise | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
after allegations that bank employees opened up to two million | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
unauthorised accounts to meet It's thought employees transferred | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
customers' money without telling them and even created fake e-mail | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
addresses to sign people up We will be a cross that grilling and | :04:39. | :04:53. | |
we will update you when he does start to testify. -- across. | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
Boosting Britain's tech sector is one of the big ambitions | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
of the government here, so why are so many Brits | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
Our North America technology reporter Dave Lee has been meeting | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
He brings us the latest installment of our series on tech talent. | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
It's the gold rush people have been flocking to, to San Francisco to | :05:13. | :05:19. | |
find their fortune and for opportunities that simply don't | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
exist anywhere else. Which is why many top British tech entrepreneurs | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
have decided to make this city their home. I think it would have | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
definitely been more difficult and probably impossible to start Slack | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
in the UK. If you're looking for a company that could one day be as | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
successful as Google, Slack is a good place to start. The work | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
collaboration tool is valued at $3.8 billion and is one of the | :05:45. | :05:54. | |
fastest-growing companies in tech. If it's your first week you get a | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
smiley face to balloon. You are British as are many of your team, | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
why aren't you in Britain? The two things that would hold us back from | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
a large expansion into, say, London, one would be the cost, but the other | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
would be available talent, the appetite for risk is much lower, it | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
is harder to attract people to what seems like a risky job at a | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
start-up. Of course it is money that makes the industry tech. Last year | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
then to capital firms invested $60 billion into US companies. The vast | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
majority of it going to tech firms in Silicon Valley. In contrast, UK | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
companies had to share just $3.6 billion in funding. Our next fund, | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
which we announced earlier this year, is a cool $100 million. One of | :06:33. | :06:42. | |
those dishing out the cash is Andy MacLachlan, a partner at an | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
investment firm. It is this magical place where people have made money | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
and rather than disappearing into The Cotswolds like people used to do | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
in the UK, they are staying active in the UK system and putting that | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
money back in and success begat success and we saw this continual | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
cycle. That is a view enthusiastic Glebe backed up by Robyn, she | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
founded a lesbian dating app in the UK but soon moved stateside. When I | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
was in Europe it took me about eight months to raise $1 million. When I | :07:09. | :07:19. | |
came here it took me six days. There are great funds operating out of | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
London and as they continue to grow the tech scene it will get stronger | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
and stronger. I think it will take a while before one of those really big | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
ones starts to emerge. Some say the amount of money being spent on | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
start-ups here is wasteful and extravagant and an industry set to | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
crash again. But for now at least in Silicon Valley seems set to remain | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
the place for bright ideas. Dave Lee, BBC News, San Francisco. | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
The global boating industry is worth a staggering $120 billion | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
and employs more than a 250,000 people in Europe alone. | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
Despite its size, the sector is only now getting the wind back | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
in its sails after the global financial crisis. | :07:53. | :07:54. | |
One of the most important events in the industry's European calendar | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
is the Southampton Boat Show on the south coast of the UK. | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
You can tell from the weather, it ain't the Monaco boat show but it is | :08:01. | :08:11. | |
one of you rock's biggest with more than 600 votes on display, ranging | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
in all shapes and sizes -- Europe's. From this, the smallest collapsible | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
canoe at only $400 to the biggest and most expensive. Here she is, the | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
Princess superyacht, 30 metres long, 100 feet, and $11 million. No point | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
in hanging on the dockside, let's find out what $11 million can buy | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
you. Welcome on board, we have entered from the back of the ship | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
where the bar is. Thanks, Kate and. Come to the main salon, rising | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
television, BBC News of course. This is big business. More than 400 super | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
yachts were sold worldwide last year and some of the requests by some of | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
the owners pretty outlandish, one guy wanted a shooting range to fire | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
off his nine millimetre. They said no to that but yes to this, a | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
backlit onyx that weighs a ton. But something really phenomenal? Look at | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
the owner's bedroom. The master cabin, here she is, this superyacht | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
is 100% designed and built in Britain, in Plymouth in fact. She | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
has all your creature comforts, your luxury as features, the big windows | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
and even a skylight but I tell you what, a pretty nice ensuite -- | :09:24. | :09:29. | |
luxurious. Here we are, three stories up, you're nobody if you | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
don't have a Jacuzzi on your superyacht. This is the bridge where | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
the boat can also be driven, but the nerve centre is down here. Take a | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
look at that. Come on down! OK, here we are on the bridge with the latest | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
technology. This ship has 37 miles of wiring and these are the cameras | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
into the engine room. She has the power of more than 70 sports cars. | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
And down here are here are the fuel tanks. $50,000 but she will save you | :09:57. | :10:05. | |
sale you 2600 kilometres. If I wanted to sleep on board I wonder | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
which suite I would get? This one down here, the one with the door | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
open. I can't believe it, you've got to be kidding me. I wouldn't even | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
fit in this bed. You know what they've done, they have stuck me in | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
the crew quarters. Thanks, guys! The only place to put Aaron | :10:22. | :10:28. | |
Heslehurst, with the crew. That's all from me for the time being. He | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
will join me in three hours with the boss of Sunseeker. You can see that | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
live in about three hours. I will see you soon. | :10:40. | :10:41. |
