Hello and welcome to World News Today. It warning from UN Special

Envoy Angelina Jolie Pitt that the global refugee system has broken

down. She says the current 60,000,000 people on the move is the

largest since World War II and countries need to pull together. How

we respond will determine whether we create a more stable world or face

decades of far greater instability. That is a former British spy chief

says failing to deal with the crisis could lead to populist uprisings

across Europe. Also coming up... The United States and other world powers

say they are ready to arm the Libyan government to help it fight Islamic

State. And more are celebrating in the city. Lester turns out for its

Premier League champions as they parade the silverware around the

streets. The global refugee system has broken

down, that's the warning from the UN refugee agency and its special envoy

Angelina Jolie Pitt. Speaking to the BBC, Hollywood actress warns

uncontrolled immigration had given what she calls a false of legitimacy

to those who promote fear and separation. She said nations need to

put together to deal with the world's 60,000,000 displaced people.

That is not the only warning to be made about the impact of the refugee

crisis. Here in the UK the former head of foreign intelligence says

the European Union is evident in the face of the most serious

humanitarian problem it has ever faced and NASA has said rising

global temperatures, 1 of the drivers of the international

migration crisis have broken records for the 7th month in a row. We will

report on all those developers but 1st, here's what Angelina Jolie Pitt

told the BBC today. I would say every human being is justified in

trying... And it is noble to try and make a better life for yourself and

your family but there is a difference of a refugee and economic

migrant and refugee is someone who has to leave, they are in fear of

death from persecution and war and an economic migrant is somebody who

is in need of making a situation better but is not living necessarily

in the country for that country is oppressing it and it's right to

live. It is very difficult to have to put it on a scale, the only

reason we do is because there is a lack of funds and there is a lack of

space. I believe the person... Bombs dropping on their house and killing

their children, they have absolutely no way to survive in a place that

they are at, I believe that should be put as priority and legally, that

the split as priority. 1 of the issues that has come up again and

again is the fact that now there is a lot of talk since the crisis in

Europe and... We are forgetting that there is the Middle East and Africa

who are also facing quite some pressure with regards to refugees. I

particularly speak about Libya, and it has a very unstable situation and

that is helping with human traffic in. I wonder what you think would be

or should be the responsibility of countries who intervened when it

comes to taking care of refugees. Libby of course is a country of

great concern because it has gotten to a stage where it is quite lawless

and the traffickers and we see the boats and the migrants on the

boats... A lot of people are benefiting financially from that and

I think 1 thing that can be focused on is accountability for these

crimes. For the trafficking, I don't see many people arrested for this

kind of behaviour but who to arrest them? Who wears... The local police,

army? Not from a country that does not have a stable police and army in

government, so these are the bigger questions and how... Even if it was

to say this country should help, what exactly should they do? We have

to bring law and order to these countries, we have to stabilise

them. Angelina Jolie Pitt is not the only person warning about the impact

of the migrant crisis. Sir Richard Ehrlich, the former chief spy master

in Britain told the BBC the European Union appears to be imprudent of

rising to the challenge of the migrant influx which could run into

millions of the next 5 years. If Europe cannot act together to

persuade a majority of its citizens that it could gain control of its

migrant crisis, then the EU will find itself at the mercy of a

populist uprising which is already stirring. The stakes are very high.

And the UK referendum is the 1st row of the dice in a bigger geopolitical

game. With me is our security correspondent Gordon Carrara.

Dramatic words from the former head of MI6, what is he most worried

about? His concern is about the ability or the way in which Europe

is dealing with this migration crisis. He says up to a million

April had entered Europe as refugees are migrants last year and European

institutions had not shown themselves to be able to deal with

that and some of the pressures it created. It is his concern is that

if people do not see the EU getting a grip on this the risk is of a

backlash and what he calls a populist uprising of extremist

politics growing in Europe as a result. He spoke of fears of these

uprisings of populism, did he say anything about potential security

aspects of migration, Bears that Islamist might be slipping into your

pretending to be refugees? He was careful to say you should not

conflict migration with terrorism and there were risks of individuals

coming through the refugee flow or the migration flow to carry out

attacks as might have happened in Paris but he also said it's not as

simple as that and border control... There is lots of evidence that

British citizens, other EU citizens are involved in terrorism, in other

words people do not need to come into the continent to carry out

terrorist attacks, it would be too simplistic to say the problems are

that closely linked and good intelligence, he said, was vital in

dealing with that rather than border control. We have had a Google -- a

vocal form a few days about whether Britain should stay in the EU... You

could hear from the tone of Sir Richard Dearlove that he was pretty

negative than pessimistic about your's ability to deal with this, he

has been seen as someone favouring Britain to get out of the EU, he did

not say that explicitly but he said he thought there could be some

marginal security gains from leaving. Others by Chiefs, as you

said, in the last week, wrote in the newspapers they believe Britain

would be safer if it remains in the EU, they would have more ability to

shape data-sharing arrangements in Europe which is important, there is

a difference of opinion amongst those involved in security about the

implications of Britain leaving. Thank you. An international

children's to the swarming the migration crisis risks creating a

lost generation of children unless governments tackle the issue. Save

the children calls for no refugee child to be out of school for more

than a month at aid agencies are worried about particular risks

facing women who along with children, make-up majority of new

migrants and refugees arriving in Europe. Caroline Hawley reports from

Lesbos. Alone, with four small children and

stranded in a strange country. This lady's husband was crushed to death

on an overcrowded Hindi the smugglers forced the family to

board. TRANSLATION: Daddy... Says her 1 1/2 robot.

Amina was on the same boat, she volunteers at this tea stand to stop

result going mad with grief. She set off from Aleppo with her disabled

husband Mohammed. That night, he drowned.

Many of the women here were already widows than they left, others want

to join husbands and brothers who made the journey 1st. This camp is 1

of the safest and best managed in Greece but aid agencies say women on

their own are vulnerable to sexual violence. Some here have formed

their own support networks, these women met in a Turkish detention

centre, forging a firm friendship and now share this makeshift home.

This woman's husband and 2 sons disappeared in northern Syria, when

her home was hit by shells, there was nothing to keep her there. Her

friend and her 3 children left home in Damascus to try to join her

husband and other son and daughter in Germany.

They hope to live next door to each other in Germany but with your's

borders closed, they are in limbo, like everyone else here, they have

no idea what the future holds. With me is the managing director of the

overseas development Institute, she does work on government, security

and migration. What do you think of what Angelina Jolie Pitt said today?

The system has broken down? There is a lot to agree with her comments...

As you say, she pointed out that the system that exists and there is a

system on rules and laws and responsibility, has broken down,

because those rules and laws are not being implemented and respected. It

has been broken down formally because the laws are not respected,

also broken down because pledges, financial pledges have been made to

support countries in the regions shouldering the responsibility of

the refugees others from the regions. I am not -- they are not

being helped. Is that because the rules in place haven't been able to

predict what is happening, the overwhelming magnitude? I don't

think that is the case, in a way, the flow, particularly from here was

predict the bowl given that the progress of the conflict, in the

country more broadly in the region, I think the system has broken down

because the mutual responsibility... That states all over the world

commit to each other to implement... And leave it to a race to the

bottom... Every state tries to protect themselves, and their

borders. As a failure of that sense of international commitment,

solidarity. You say the promises made with Syria in particular,

aren't being kept? They are not being kept and importantly, or

equally importantly, this crisis of politics and solidarity also ends up

being a very ineffective way of dealing with this crisis. The race

to the bottom is a race everybody loses, the work we have done suggest

refugees and migrants, once they make the decision to leave their

country and everything they have got and go in search of safety, they are

not easily deterred and actually, the policies put in place by member

states in Europe and other countries in the world are simply not

effective at keeping people out. I note you say refugees and migrants

together... But do you acknowledge that in many countries, people see

those categories of people on the move differently, they may be

willing to welcome refugees but economic migrants, less so? You are

right, the categories are different and refugees are entitled to

specific protection because they are fleeing extreme danger and balance.

It would be a mistake to conflate these categories. I think when it

comes to what can be done about the facts are many people are on the

move, we need to be careful, solving and addressing the problem from 1

category because it's seen to be better deserving does not end up

leaving many others in even worse conditions simply because they do

not have the same level of protection and entitlement. And

people will continue to move for a variety of reasons, for conflict...

But also continued to be because of economic reasons and aspirations and

in search of a better life. As we approach the questions of what to do

about this, it's important to look at different solutions for different

people, but not to forget that there are migrants who are equally in

dangerous situations sometimes. Thank you very much. Plenty more to

discuss another day. The refugee crisis has been partly blamed on

climate change and April has seen yet another record broken. According

to NASA last month was the warmest April ever recorded and that's the

7th month in a row global record temperatures have been smashed. The

news comes at governments began working in Germany for a Rubik to

implement the 2015 Paris agreement to implement global warning with the

United Nations urging strong work bell-macro stronger action. Land and

sea temperatures rose 11% above the baseline for April, scientists are

talking about climate emergency. It all but assures 2016 will be the

hottest on record and probably the largest margin. The average

temperature of the Earth's service has increased by 0 pointed 5d in the

last century, 13/14 warmest years were recorded in the 21st-century.

The BBC weather team says beating climate records month after month is

a growing trend but the concern is the rate at which temperatures

accelerate. When we say 1 point something degree it doesn't sound

like much at all but we have to put it into context of what was agreed

in Paris at the tail end of last year by all the countries who got

together and said, no more than 1 1/2. If we have already got up to 1

point something,... We talk about what is going on at the north and

south pole which is often used by climate science... The ice is

shrinking like there is no tomorrow, the North Pole... At the South Pole,

the ice is building up in locations but it has to be said, overall,

whatever your prospective, there is very much more in the way of ice

loss at the North Pole than the South Pole. The United States and

other world powers say they are ready to an the Libyan backed Unity

government to help it fight so-called Islamic State. John Kerry

said Libyan authorities were about to receive ammunition and weapons

through exemptions from the current UN arms embargo. The arms embargo

allows for the Government of National Accord to request weapons

if it needs them, specifically to secure the country and to combat

Daesh. The instability in Libya is affecting more countries in North

Africa, some of the neighbours are concerned about the prospect of

barnstorming into the region. Our correspondent has this update from

juniors. The instability in Libya affects the entire region, not least

of which its Mediterranean neighbour Tunisia. Indiana, ways to support

the new unity government backed by the United Nations... Based in the

capital Tripoli. They want to help them fight the threat posed by the

rise of extremist groups like the so-called Islamic State. The Libyan

government has asked for an exemption to the UN arms embargo

that has been in place for years, the risk is that because they do not

control all the rival armed groups in the country and there is no clear

chain of command, these weapons could eventually fall into the wrong

hands and could worsen the local civil conflict. The presumptive

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has called on Muslims

to work with the police and turn people in. This follows his

controversial demand that Muslims face a temporary ban on entering the

United States, those remarks prompted criticism from David

Cameron which Mr Trump responded today saying he is not anti Muslim

but anti-terrorist. You get a lot of decent law abiding Muslims who feel

offended... And they feel targeted and under attack. What can you say

to them... Here is what I say, they have to turn the people in. It must

work with police and enforcement, tournament, they have got to play

ball. If they are not going to play ball... Loss of sound. If you had

your turn again, given how controversial and divisive it has

been, we Jiri Vesely is what you said about banning muslins from

America? It got people thinking, whether it's good for me or bad for

me, I don't care, it got people thinking and you have to understand,

I am not against any religion but there is something happening,

something bad going on, something very bad, and we have to get to the

bottom of that. Let's talk to Laura Trevelyan in Washington. Donald

Trump says many things making the headlines at what has been made of

this? It's interesting because the headline coming out on NBC News

website from that interview Donald Trump did in Britain is Donald Trump

saying I am not stupid, OK? There is a different narrative going in

America come at the weekend President Obama gave a speech, he

didn't talk about Donald Trump but about how important it was not to be

ignorant. Donald Trump feeling thin-skinned, people attacking him

or his views, especially a Muslims and he is firing back in Britain and

he was cross, another clip, with the British Prime Minister saying he is

unlikely to have a good relationship with David Cameron because David

Cameron had said his policy on the temporary ban of Muslims ending the

US was stupid, divisive and wrong, something Mr Trump takes issue with.

Interestingly, at the end of last week, is to Trump seemed to slightly

backtracked on that policy, saying perhaps he would give some pause

button that view with Piers Morgan he was not backtracking. Everyone

looking for signs that Donald Trump is trying to be more statesman-like

perhaps going near to the mainstream Republican view, given that he has

been talking to senior figures like Paul Ryan. Yes, indeed, there was

soon Ammi of negative coverage about Donald Trump this weekend, saying he

will not release his tax return. There is a story about him

apparently calling reporters and pretending to be his own spokes man,

20 years ago, the New York Times has an expose an about his relationship

with women but the chairman of the Republican National committee points

out that the voters don't seem to care so far about any of these

issues. I guess the fact is he has more than 10,000,000 votes, more

than anyone ever got in a Republican primary but when it comes to the

general election, will any of this affecting? The latest bowling last

week in key states showed him virtually neck and neck with Hillary

Clinton. This has been the most extraordinary election, I guess we

will wait to see when the next polls come out and receive this negative

coverage, if indeed negative coverage it is in the eyes of

supporters, what impact that will have. What are we hearing from other

senior Republican figures? Are they getting accustomed to the idea this

might be their man? Yes, you are seeing senators coming out in

support, Paul Ryan, the Leader of the House Republicans is withholding

his support but I think what you see amongst Republicans is a desire for

unity, to go head-to-head against Hillary Clinton who they see certain

to be the Democratic nominee and for those who don't like Donald Trump,

they think Hillary Clinton is much worse but it is definitely doping

Trump, his remarks about Muslims. The former commander General David

Petraeus said in the Washington Post on Friday he regarded that as being

toxic, was counter-productive and played into the hands of al-Qaeda

and Islamic State but I guess the question in the yen is how much

foreign policy will matter to those people who like Donald Trump who say

him as blunt and saying things no 1 else will say. 1 other question...

We heard about this war of words between David Cameron and Donald

Trump... Going on a bed of a spat with the new Mayor of London,

Siddique Khan. Absolutely, remember Donald Trump said he would make an

exception to the new Mayor of London and he would allow him to visit

America despite this temporary ban on Muslims entering the United

States and Donald Trump says he thinks that the mayor is ignorant,

he has made very nasty and very rude comments about him. Sadiq Khan has

made this point saying this proposal for a temporary ban on Muslims is

counter-productive and plays into the hands of extremists. Donald

Trump having to defend himself and the people who support him feel for

what he says is something that they also believe, there is a problem

with extremism and Donald Trump is prepared to save what no 1 else will

say. Laura, thank you. -- per per to say. Let's take a look at the other

news, of demonstrators in ethnic group have taken to the streets of

Kabul, they are angry at the government decision to reroute a

multi-million dollar power line away from 2 provinces with large

populations. Much of the city has been shut out. The World Health

Organisation says polio could be eradicated in Pakistan within

months. The organisation told the BBC only a handful of cases have

been reported this year in Pakistan and neighbouring Afghanistan. There

have been clashes between protesters and police in Bhopal as supporters

for ethnic minority groups demand changes to the Constitution. 500

demonstrators chanted slogans and attempted to push through a police

barricade at the Prime Minister's offers. The minority group leading

the protest once a bigger stake in the constitution adopted last year.

Here in the UK there have been calls for an inquiry into how 1 of the

best-known football stadiums in the world was evacuated on Sunday after

an object resembling a bomb was found. Manchester United's last game

of the season was called off at Old Trafford and bomb discourse of

squads carried out controlled explosion. Police said the

suspicious item was a training device left behind by a private

security company. The managing director of that firm that left

behind the dummy bomb has been speaking about what happened. This

mistake is entirely mine and I have to take full responsibility for

leaving the training item behind on Wednesday. I had been part of the

Metropolitan Police are specialist search unit since 1985. And retired

in 2011. I have dedicated my service to defeating terrorism within the

specialist areas and I have been privileged to have worked for and

the people I work aside... I am absolutely devastated that a lapse

in my working protocol resulted in many people being disappointed,

frightened and inconvenienced. From 1 football story to another, it's a

day of celebration in Leicester, a party atmosphere building all day,

supporters gathering to laud the remarkable achievements of the

miracle team, Leicester captain Wes Morgan and his team-mates are

parading the Premier League Trophy all around the city on an open top

bus, it's happening just 2 years after a similar parade to celebrate

the Foxes promotion to the top flight. Only a year after they were

nearly relegated! That is the scene live in Leicester.

Hello. We will see some changes in the
