the EU says the deal to stem the flow of migrants | :00:16. | :00:18. | |

of President Obama's visit on Sunday On his last day on London, | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
he called on young people I am here to ask you to reject the | :00:36. | :00:53. | |
notion that we are directed by forces we cannot control and I want | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
you to take a longer and more optimistic view of history. Age | :00:57. | :01:06. | |

on the Turkish border had some high The Turkish prime minister, | :01:15. | :01:36. | |
the German chancellor, and the president of | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
the European Council have been to see for themselves | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
the conditions there, as the final details of a deal | :01:43. | :01:44. | |
for Turkey to take back migrants The UN Refugee Agency has raised | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
concerns over the deal and human rights groups say the country is not | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
a safe place to return people. Today Tuckey is the best example | :01:53. | :02:04. | |
for the whole world how No-one has the right to lecture | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
Turkey as to what to do. I am really proud | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
and we will succeed. Let's cross to join other | :02:12. | :02:35. | |
correspondence. Lots of smiles and handshakes and the message of | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
solidarity on all sides? That was the message. The German Chancellor | :02:39. | :02:47. | |
under European rain leaders were trying to promote that today. Were | :02:48. | :02:54. | |
trying to promote the controversial European rain - Tuckey migrants | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
deal, but the atmosphere today was very amicable. There were such | :03:00. | :03:07. | |
comments from Tusk that we listen to, applause from the audience. | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
These are pleasing comments coming from the European Union for Turkish | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
people because Turkey already feels it has done a lot to help Syrian | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
refugees. The Turkish government says they have spent over $10 | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
billion to accommodate these people. Turkey has been helping with health | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
services, trying to help with education services for the Syrian | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
children living in Turkey, but that is not enough, Turkey says. The | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
government is expecting more help from the European Union and this is | :03:44. | :03:51. | |
why the Scots are being held. Today, Angola Merkel suggested a safe zone | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
to be established within Syria which was something the Turkish government | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
had been pushing for for some time now. And the last couple of months, | :04:00. | :04:07. | |
when Aleppo was about to fall, Turkey had been trying to do this in | :04:08. | :04:14. | |
a de facto way, providing services that help the people, the people | :04:15. | :04:21. | |
fleeing the fighting in Aleppo, but not allowing them into Turkey. | :04:22. | :04:28. | |
Previously Turkey had an open doors policy and no Angela Merkel strongly | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
supports Turkey's plans and wishes when implementing and establishing a | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
safe zone within Syria. Another important thing is the Prime | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
Minister once more underlined that it is very vital for Turkey but its | :04:44. | :04:50. | |
demand for the lifting of the Visa restrictions for Turkish citizens | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
who want to travel to Schengen countries was lifted by June. He | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
said this is a promise that is already given to Turkish people and | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
the Turkish government is determined to keep that promise and is | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
pressuring the European Union leaders apparently to take the | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
necessary steps to make this happen. By the end of July, they have | :05:14. | :05:22. | |
already said that by the end of July there will be projects that will | :05:23. | :05:30. | |
cost over 1 billion euros to help raise the living standards of the | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
Syrian migrants already living in Turkey, so the European Union- | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
Turkey deal, they feel has started to work and shown its impact. The | :05:41. | :05:47. | |
number of people trying to cross to Greece from Turkey has decreased by | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
80% and no more projects are coming in and both the Turkish government | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
and European Union leaders want to show that this is a deal that can | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
actually work and work very well to help the Syrian migrants and stem | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
the flow of the migrants to Europe. Thank you. | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
Meanwhile in Syria, government warplanes have struck rebel-held | :06:09. | :06:09. | |
areas of the northern city of Aleppo for the second day in a row. | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
These pictures purportedly show the aftermath of the attack. | :06:15. | :06:16. | |
Twelve people were reportedly killed, including children. | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
On the other hand, the government said six died in rebel attacks | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
on neighbourhoods that it controls in Aleppo. | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
There were also reports that at least 13 people | :06:28. | :06:29. | |
were killed in a bombardment of the opposition-held town | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
Both the US and the UN have expressed alarm at the escalation | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
A secular university professor has been hacked to death in Bangladesh, | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
in an attack which police say is similar to the recent killings | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
Rezaul Karim Siddique was a professor of English | :06:46. | :06:53. | |
at Raj-shahi University in the west of the country. | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
He was attacked by men with machetes while on his way | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
Earlier this month a Bangladeshi law student, who had expressed | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
secular views online, was killed in the capital, Dhaka. | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
Well, I've been speaking to Imran Sarker, a well-known | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
He says this case in particular is extremely alarming. | :07:12. | :07:21. | |
It looks like there are similarities with blogger killings | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
and with the way he had been killed, but he was not that | :07:26. | :07:32. | |
vocal against extremism and radical Islam. | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
He was a music lover and | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
So what do you think the motive was, because he wasn't politically | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
outspoken or necessarily even an atheist, so what was the motive? | :07:45. | :07:52. | |
We were very concerned about this thing. | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
We tried to understand the government that | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
The killers just said actually, tried justifying their | :08:01. | :08:07. | |
Those are very influential in society and | :08:08. | :08:27. | |
What is your reaction to the government | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
Do you think there is a culture of impunity in Bangladesh? | :08:31. | :08:37. | |
Government action is not enough, and it is very flexible to them. | :08:38. | :08:53. | |
Government inaction and the justification | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
them to be more fearless and ferocious. | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
They will not take responsibility and a statement from | :09:01. | :09:02. | |
a Prime Minister regarding ongoing killing of bloggers, publishers and | :09:03. | :09:04. | |
That is giving more spaces for killers. | :09:05. | :09:14. | |
Given the brutality of | :09:15. | :09:15. | |
this recent attack and others that have taken place before, do you feel | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
Yes, I am frightened but not for my security, | :09:19. | :09:26. | |
I am very frightened for | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
the security of my state and national security. | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
Where politicians failed to act properly, | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
The American President Barack Obama has urged young people to reject | :09:38. | :09:47. | |
pessimism and not to pull back from the rest of the world. | :09:48. | :09:49. | |
He was speaking on the last day of his final visit | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
Our North America Editor Jon Sopel reports. | :09:53. | :10:01. | |
All the world is a stage, and this particular player is nine months | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
Today, Barack Obama visited the Globe Theatre on | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death. | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
Then it was on to meet future great writers and | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
leaders, a town hall meeting of 500 people and a sprinkling of stardust | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
You all know why I came this week, it is no secret. | :10:24. | :10:32. | |
Nothing was going to stop me from wishing happy birthday to Her | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
But then he wanted a conversation with this young crowd, | :10:36. | :10:49. | |
drawn from colleges across the UK, to motivate, to encourage, to make | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
When I speak to young people, I implore them and I implore you to | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
I'm here to ask you to reject the notion | :11:01. | :11:09. | |
that we are gripped by forces that we can't control and I want | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
you to take a longer and more optimistic | :11:13. | :11:14. | |
view of history and the part that you can play in it. | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
He lauded the EU for the role it had played in | :11:19. | :11:20. | |
maintaining peace in Europe, though that | :11:21. | :11:22. | |
was as close as he got to the | :11:23. | :11:24. | |
Then, a stream of questions, which the president, with | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
jacket off and sleeves rolled up, spent a good chunk of time | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
If your successor comes to you and she says, so... | :11:33. | :11:43. | |
This has been an extraordinary event, for over an hour that | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
President has taken random questions from | :11:50. | :11:51. | |
young people in London and his | :11:52. | :11:53. | |
message is upbeat, saying there has never been a better time to be alive | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
and there are no problems that cannot be solved without commitment | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
Seven years in, he still believes in yes, we can. | :12:02. | :12:09. | |
Then he went with David Cameron to play a game | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
that is so often "no, I can't," the infuriated | :12:16. | :12:17. | |
After yesterday, it might be gracious for Mr Cameron to let | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
Well, President Obama is likely to face a less unanimous welcome | :12:23. | :12:38. | |
when he visits the German city of Hannover tomorrow. | :12:39. | :12:40. | |
Tens of thousands of people there have been protesting | :12:41. | :12:42. | |
against one of the his landmark policies -- | :12:43. | :12:44. | |
a proposed transatlantic trade deal, known as TTIP. | :12:45. | :12:46. | |
The protestors say the deal would water down European | :12:47. | :12:48. | |
standards on environmental protection and privacy. | :12:49. | :12:50. | |
But business leaders and many politicians say it | :12:51. | :12:52. | |
would increase trade, save jobs and promote growth. | :12:53. | :12:53. | |
President Obama is due to visit Hanover on Sunday to open a huge | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
trade fair and hold security talks with European leaders. | :12:58. | :12:59. | |
Some say if the deal isn't signed this year under his presidency - | :13:00. | :13:02. | |
Let's take a look at the visit in more detail. | :13:03. | :14:03. | |
If TTIP comes, standards will definitely drop to a lower level | :14:04. | :14:09. | |
than they are now. Health care and even privacy because lower standards | :14:10. | :14:11. | |
means it is easier to sell stuff. Other trading areas and regions will | :14:12. | :14:46. | |
have the law in partnerships, that means we can remain with what we | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
have, well fed and the level of living in the workplace will be very | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
helpful to negotiate with the other biggest trading partners all over | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
the world, and that is the US. Stay with us on BBC | :15:00. | :15:02. | |
World News, still to come. An electrifying race | :15:03. | :15:04. | |
through the streets of Paris - they're fast, quiet and battery | :15:05. | :15:07. | |
powered. I never thought they would actually | :15:08. | :15:28. | |
go through with it. Some places have already had nearly | :15:29. | :15:46. | |
as much rain as they would normally expect an entire year. For millions | :15:47. | :15:54. | |
of Americans the death of Nixon has meant conflicting emotions. A | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
national day of mourning in next week sitting uneasily with the | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
abiding memories of the shame of Watergate. And left off for the | :16:03. | :16:09. | |
space shuttle discovery, our on the universe. | :16:10. | :16:21. | |
As the German Chancellor meets Syrian refugees in Turkey, | :16:22. | :16:24. | |
the EU says the deal to stem the flow of migrants | :16:25. | :16:26. | |
deal ahead of a visit by President Obama. | :16:27. | :16:43. | |
It's an historic voyage the world has been watching - | :16:44. | :16:46. | |
a solar-powered airplane on an around-the-world trip | :16:47. | :16:48. | |
is currently over the Pacific and headed for San Francisco. | :16:49. | :16:50. | |
The plane started its journey in Abu Dhabi in March last year. | :16:51. | :16:53. | |
It's made stops in Oman, Myanmar, China and Japan. | :16:54. | :16:55. | |
Most recently it was stuck in Hawaii. | :16:56. | :16:57. | |
At the controls is pilot Bertrand Piccard. | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
Yesterday he had an in flight conversation with UN | :17:02. | :17:03. | |
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon who had just presided over | :17:04. | :17:05. | |
the signing of the new international climate agreement. | :17:06. | :17:20. | |
Today technology can achieve impossible things like flying day | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
and night without fuel on a solo aeroplane. That is wonderful, thank | :17:26. | :17:35. | |
you for joining us. You look like an astronaut on the moon! You look | :17:36. | :17:44. | |
great! Happy scenes. Let's go live to the pilot currently flowing, | :17:45. | :17:52. | |
there will be a slight delay while we communicate with them, we are | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
speaking via satellite. You have had a few stumbling blocks, in Hawaii, | :17:59. | :18:04. | |
can you tell us why? Nice to talk to you. On the flight to Hawaii, my | :18:05. | :18:14. | |
flight started three days ago, we had to replace the batteries that | :18:15. | :18:18. | |
had overheated. It was an operational mistake on our site but | :18:19. | :18:23. | |
the plane is perfectly fit to continue and I have just now, when I | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
spoke to you, the first version of the coast of California, so it is a | :18:29. | :18:36. | |
magical moment. We are looking at a map of your exact position where you | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
are, can you tell us what you can see? Now I am above the Pacific | :18:41. | :18:50. | |
ocean in front of the West Coast of America. The law me are some | :18:51. | :18:55. | |
low-level clouds and the sky above is completely clear, and I have the | :18:56. | :19:05. | |
coast in view, the American coast. I should say it is fantastic and I | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
have succeeded in completing the Pacific crossing and on the other | :19:11. | :19:15. | |
side, I would have stayed with pleasure for several more days on | :19:16. | :19:18. | |
board because it is absolutely magical to fly a solar powered | :19:19. | :19:24. | |
aeroplane with no fuel, I could continue now for several days, so I | :19:25. | :19:31. | |
will land because I will take over the flight to Phoenix and on the way | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
to New York, and one thing interesting, between the clouds is | :19:37. | :19:42. | |
an oil tanker from the old world we are oil is still needed, and I am in | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
the future with the solar powered aeroplane with no fuel. It sounds | :19:48. | :19:54. | |
like such a fascinating journey that you | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
stretches of water and lots of risk involved, have been frightened. We | :19:58. | :20:13. | |
are very well prepared, to jump on the parachute if needed, but the | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
plane is flying well. It is not so for each flying a solar aeroplane | :20:19. | :20:24. | |
that is dangerous but what is dangerous is to lead any world that | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
is changing the climate and destroying the environment and | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
natural resources. This is really dangerous and we have to do | :20:33. | :20:39. | |
something for it. And so many people have found to demonstrate the | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
solution, solutions that people can use, but to have solo aeroplane is | :20:43. | :20:50. | |
not immediately but we can have a plane for 50 passengers immediately | :20:51. | :20:57. | |
and we can use electrical insulation on the ground or houses, this is | :20:58. | :21:06. | |
what we need and this is what I want for the future. What do your loved | :21:07. | :21:16. | |
oness say about your journey? When I wrote to my three daughters to tell | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
them I would take off tomorrow and the weather is good, they said to go | :21:22. | :21:27. | |
for it, we are all behind you. I said I hope that you learn from me | :21:28. | :21:33. | |
that this is something useful for your life and they said pioneering | :21:34. | :21:38. | |
spirit for life, this is what we have now, and I was really touched. | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
I think I transmitted something important and my wife has been | :21:44. | :21:45. | |
working with me since the beginning of the project, helping me to | :21:46. | :21:53. | |
communicate about technology so it is also a family endeavour. And what | :21:54. | :21:59. | |
has been the favourite part of your journey so far? Can you repeat your | :22:00. | :22:07. | |
question? What has been the highlight of the trip so far? The | :22:08. | :22:15. | |
highlight was yesterday when I could speak to the United Nations, to the | :22:16. | :22:22. | |
heads of state signing the climate agreement, talk to them with | :22:23. | :22:25. | |
satellite communication from solar impulse, because this was the | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
highlight and it is really what I want to use it for. It is not just | :22:31. | :22:37. | |
an adventure because I love to fly. It is a message because I want to | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
show what we can do today, and protection of the environment today | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
can be profitable. And at the same time fight climate change. This is | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
what the heads of state have to understand because they have to go | :22:52. | :22:56. | |
quickly now. Thank you for being with us and good luck on the rest of | :22:57. | :22:58. | |
your journey. Events are taking place today | :22:59. | :23:04. | |
to mark the 400th anniversary The man widely considered | :23:05. | :23:06. | |

what he did to our language, and our culture and landscape, | :24:00. | :24:04. | |
will have influenced you, even if you are not aware of it, | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
