Counting the cost of the refugee crisis.

:00:15.:00:16.

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.
