searching for the missing EgyptAir flight say that human remains, | :01:10. | :01:27. | |
passenger belongings and wreckage have been found floating | :01:28. | :01:29. | |
in the Mediterranean. Flight MS804 went missing | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
in the early hours of yesterday morning, en route from Paris | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
to Cairo with 66 passengers It was just entering Egyptian air | :01:38. | :01:39. | |
space when it was last heard from. Debris from the plane has | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
been found in the area, about 290 kilometres | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
from the Egyptian coast. A huge international search is now | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
underway, and focused on finding A possible oil slick | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
within the search area has also been Our correspondent in Egypt | :01:55. | :01:58. | |

has gone with him. This village is a long | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
way from Paris. They lost three young | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
men here and a child. They were enormously proud | :03:27. | :03:36. | |
that they had gone out into the world | :03:37. | :03:38. | |
to earn a living. There is some comfort today that | :03:39. | :03:40. | |
Egypt has discovered some of the debris and belongings | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
from the flight. There is a hope that eventually | :03:44. | :03:44. | |
the bodies of the sons That came one step closer | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
to happening today. Egypt's navy and air force | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
was out searching again. Greece's defence minister | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
announced the discovery. TRANSLATION: We have been briefed | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
by the Egyptian joint rescue | :04:01. | :04:02. | |

of the search, slightly to the south | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
of where the plane signal was lost. More details are being learned | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
about those who were on board. Richard Osman from Wales had a child | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
who was only a few weeks old and | :04:19. | :04:20. | |
a two-year-old daughter. His brother Alister spoke | :04:21. | :04:22. | |
to the BBC. He said this could be | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
an act of terrorism. Can they not see the results | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
of their actions? Do they not see what is left over, | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
what is left at the end That is left at the end of the day, | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
a family deprived of We are now putting faces to names | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
of others lost in the crash. They were mostly | :04:44. | :04:54. | |
from France and Egypt. The pilot of the aircraft | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
was Mohammed Shakir. His cousin spoke of | :04:58. | :04:59. | |
his professionalism. 2000 hours in the same | :05:00. | :05:00. | |
aircraft, I believe this All his colleagues | :05:01. | :05:02. | |
say he is one of the In Egypt's towns and villages, | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
there will be no peace until their And then they can fully | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
turn their thoughts to what caused the plane to fall | :05:14. | :05:21. | |
from a clear blue sky. With me is David Mearns. He is a | :05:22. | :05:44. | |
deep sea recovery form. Thank you for joining us. From what you know | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
now publicly, is it possible to see what has brought this plane down? Is | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
it possible to see if it was an accident or attack? No, that is not | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
possible. People like me, our skills is to go out and find the wreckage | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
and then recover it for investigators to answer those | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
questions. You have been involved in those such as yourself. Correct. How | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
likely is that they find the black boxes? I think there is a high | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
likelihood they will be able to do that. The first wreckage has now | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
been found and it will allow them to narrow the crash site where it | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
impacted on the sea bed. Then the next underwater phase will begin, | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
searching with acoustic devices to listen to the underwater location | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
devices that are attached to the black boxes. That will be the focus | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
of any recovery efforts. That tells you the most amount of information | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
in the shortest period of fine Flight MS804 time. There is an oil | :06:47. | :06:54. | |
slick in this area, does that indicate anything specific? Yes, you | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
can sample that oil and get some of the oil up and determine whether it | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
is from a ship or whether it is aircraft oil. If it is aircraft oil | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
and it is coming up from a point source on the sea bed, that is a | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
really good way to localise the wreckage on the sea bed. From what | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
we are seeing of how much wreckage there is, are you surprised by how | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
little or how much there is? What happens to it, does it think? No, it | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
is not all think. When a plane explodes in the side to the max guy | :07:31. | :07:37. | |
or if it hits the surface intact, it does fragment and a lot of the | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
objects float. The structure of the plane is such that it allows very | :07:44. | :07:50. | |
large objects to actually float. As of this time, with only a couple of | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
pieces of wreckage found, it is surprisingly at but we have only | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
just got into the wreckage and there is a chance that they will find more | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
tomorrow. As the determine the drifts, this is 24 hours or more | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
after the plane has crashed, in that time it is possible that the | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
wreckage could have drifted 15 or 20 miles. Lots of information obviously | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
still needed. Thank you for joining us. We can speak now to our | :08:19. | :08:25. | |
correspondent in Cairo. We have seen the incredibly distressing scenes | :08:26. | :08:32. | |
from there with families talking now of learning their loved ones were on | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
board this plane. How much information as the Government able | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
to give to those families? Well, it is a day of mourning and grief here. | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
Very little information provided by the Government apart from what they | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
said that they have found some wreckage and some parts of bodies of | :08:52. | :08:59. | |
the victims. There isn't much detail that are providing for the families | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
here. Earlier today I spent some time in the hotel with the families | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
were meeting with officials from Egypt air and they were in a very | :09:08. | :09:16. | |
distressed situation. They are in a moment of sadness. I managed is big | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
to one of them and he told me about his lost brother and this is what he | :09:21. | :09:27. | |
said. I have lost my brother. He is married and has a boy and a girl. | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
The boy is one and a half and the girl is three. He was the backbone | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
of our family and he was loved by everyone. We have asked the | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
advertisement more information. We need to find the bodies so that they | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
can come back to us. We need to know what is going on. We need to know | :09:45. | :09:51. | |
what is going on. They want to have the bodies of their loved ones and | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
give them a proper burial. Today we have seen that there were some | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
symbolic funerals with empty Coughlin 's, but for the families | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
who have lost their loved ones, they want the real bodies they want to | :10:04. | :10:11. | |
give them a proper farewell. -- empty coffins. | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
Now a look at some of the days other news: | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
To Syria - and Russia has proposed proposed carrying out joint | :10:19. | :10:20. | |
airstrikes with the US-led coalition in the country. | :10:21. | :10:22. | |
Moscow said the strikes could start as early as May the twenty-fifth | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
and target the Islamist Nusra Front and other rebel groups who were not | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
Fifa's ethics committee says the former head of German football, | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
Wolfgang Niersbach, should be banned from the sport for two years. | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
It's over a allegations a bribe was used to secure votes | :10:37. | :10:38. | |
Mr Niersbach resigned as president of the German FA last year, | :10:39. | :10:45. | |
India's highest ever temperature has been recorded | :10:46. | :10:54. | |
in the state of Rajasthan, where it reached 51 degrees Celsius | :10:55. | :10:56. | |
in the city of Phlodi on Thursday - beating a 60 record. | :10:57. | :11:03. | |
The heatwave has already claimed dozens of lives, | :11:04. | :11:05. | |
with no real reprieve expected until the monsoon | :11:06. | :11:07. | |
The World Health Organization has announced that the strain | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
of the Zika virus circulating in Cape Verde is the same as the one | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
behind the thousands of cases in the Americas. | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
Meanwhile, the US authorities have revealed that 157 pregnant women | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
in America have tested positive for infection with the Zika virus. | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
The Zika virus has been blamed for neurological disorders and birth | :11:30. | :11:31. | |
This is the first time the Centers for Disease Control has released | :11:32. | :11:38. | |
Let's get more on this with our global health | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
First of all, on the US figures that have come out. All those who are | :11:44. | :11:57. | |
pregnant, will be definitely infect their children will the children | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
have problems? There is no definitely about anything involving | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
this at the moment. There is still much that is unknown. We do not know | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
what proportion of mothers who are infected with Zika will go on to | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
have babies who are brain-damaged. The Centre for disease control | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
released figures today and said to us that altogether there were almost | :12:20. | :12:28. | |
300 mothers expecting who have been infected with Zika. 157 are from | :12:29. | :12:35. | |
mainland US and the others from Puerto Rico. If you are than a dozen | :12:36. | :12:43. | |
who have gone on to have a miscarriage or give birth to a | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
brain-damaged baby, but clearly this is a very worrying development. The | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
numbers have changed slightly how they have been counting these cases. | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
It has jumped quite a lot in the last week, that is more about how | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
they have been counting the cases rather than a jump in cases. It is a | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
real concern for these mothers. President Obama is pushing for more | :13:05. | :13:15. | |
funding. Yes, he is. He added for billion has been signed off. There | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
is still a major gap. About $600 million has been allocated before | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
today, but that money has been taken from other projects including | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
fighting Ebola. The way President Obama phrased it was taking from | :13:28. | :13:33. | |
Paul and giving to Peter. He is urging Congress to sign off the rest | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
of this money because it is origin. He spoke in the last hour or two and | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
this is what he said. To the extent that we want | :13:41. | :13:42. | |
to be able to feel safe and secure and families | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
who are of child-bearing years want to be able to feel | :13:48. | :13:53. | |
as if they have confidence that when they travel and when they | :13:54. | :13:56. | |
want to start a family, To the extent that is something | :13:57. | :13:58. | |
we think is important. This is a pretty modest investment | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
to get those assurances. President Obama they are. We have | :14:03. | :14:13. | |
heard that the threat of this virus spreading to Africa and other parts | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
of Asia, how big is that and how is it happening? It is a real concern. | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
The world health organisation has said that parts of southern Europe | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
should expect cases in the coming months as well. They could effect | :14:28. | :14:30. | |
anywhere where there is the mosquito. This is the same mosquito | :14:31. | :14:37. | |
that spreads other diseases. These are coming into play much more now, | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
especially in Europe as it gets warmer. Anywhere that has these | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
mosquitoes are at risk of having Zika cases. The world health | :14:48. | :14:54. | |
organisation is telling countries in Africa that they need to prepare and | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
start telling people, especially pregnant women, about the risks of | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
Zika. You need to inform them of how to stay safe and crucially they | :15:03. | :15:08. | |
neared to be investment in vaccines and there needs to be research. | :15:09. | :15:16. | |
Protecting yourself from a mosquito bite is important. How does it | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
actually spread though? Humans are the intermediaries's yes, the | :15:21. | :15:28. | |
mosquito is the vector that infects humans. If somebody in Brazil | :15:29. | :15:34. | |
travels to Cape Verde and they have been infected with Zika. They may | :15:35. | :15:40. | |
not show symptoms but they go where the mosquito lives and that mosquito | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
bites that person, picks up Zika and then infects others. Other | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
mosquitoes that bite people who have been bitten, can also pick up Zika. | :15:51. | :15:55. | |
It is complicated but you can see how easy it is to spread, especially | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
with how much travel there is. That is very alarming. Thank you very | :16:01. | :16:07. | |
much indeed. Over the last few days we have been bringing you first-hand | :16:08. | :16:13. | |
experience of life in prison. On Thursday we were at Wandsworth | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
prison in London. The problems there are mirrored in many jails around | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
the world. In America there are three as many psychiatric patient in | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
prison than hospital. Our correspondent was given special | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
permission to film inside the prison and speak to the prisoners. This is | :16:32. | :16:39. | |
what checking into America's largest health institution looks like. It is | :16:40. | :16:45. | |
not the official role but when 30% of people being shuttled around from | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
cell to cell and locked away in this jail is not to have psychiatric | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
problems, that is what it has become. | :16:53. | :17:04. | |
We watched as this man was processed into the jail, | :17:05. | :17:06. | |
He was charged with criminal trespass, sleeping on someone else's | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
42-year-old Robert is homeless and he has schizophrenia. | :17:12. | :17:18. | |
We saw as he shuffled off into what is a tough world. | :17:19. | :17:20. | |
In parts of the jail, up to 400 inmates are kept | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
in a single room, where they eat, sleep and live all together. | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
Many, of course, have committed far worse crimes than Robert. | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
Those we spoke to complained of the conditions they lived in, | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
but didn't want to be recorded for fear, | :17:35. | :17:36. | |
But the number of those among the prison population with mental | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
health problems appears to be ever-increasing. | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
It is now thought there are more than three times the number | :17:46. | :17:48. | |
of psychiatric patients incarcerated in America than are in hospitals. | :17:49. | :17:54. | |
He's been locked up because he stole groceries | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
Being incarcerated is no way to live. | :18:00. | :18:10. | |
Not only is it being kept from your freedom, | :18:11. | :18:12. | |
but being surrounded with the people that are here, | :18:13. | :18:14. | |
The mentality of the individuals that you're locked up with. | :18:15. | :18:23. | |
It can really get hard, it can be dangerous. | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
There are some areas of the jail that do have the look | :18:28. | :18:33. | |
Those running this facility have at least recognised that mental | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
health provision needs to be a huge part of what they do. | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
The new warden of the jail is even a psychologist. | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
But what they can't change is a system which means so many | :18:45. | :18:47. | |
people who should be treated in the community end up | :18:48. | :18:49. | |
No different than if they had diabetes, but they | :18:50. | :19:02. | |
Well, guess what, States throughout the country, | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
throughout the United States, have decimated the mental health | :19:08. | :19:10. | |
So where do these people end up then? | :19:11. | :19:18. | |
And it's been going on now for decades. | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
There does seem to be recognition that too many people | :19:24. | :19:25. | |
in America are going to jail, particularly those with | :19:26. | :19:27. | |
That can only be resolved with fundamental changes | :19:28. | :19:30. | |
in the justice system here and improved mental health | :19:31. | :19:32. | |
But both those things feel a long way off. | :19:33. | :19:39. | |
The Turkish parliament has approved a controversial | :19:40. | :19:49. | |
law that will strip MPs of their immunity from prosecution. | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
Dozens of them from various parties could now find themselves in court. | :19:54. | :19:56. | |
Pro-Kurdish politicians say the government's designed law | :19:57. | :19:58. | |
in an effort to drive them and other opposition representatives out | :19:59. | :20:01. | |
Well, one of the MPs who took part in the vote earlier today | :20:02. | :20:06. | |
Ertugrul Kurkcu is the Honorary President of the HDP Party. | :20:07. | :20:15. | |
Many thanks for joining us. Why are you opposed to this change proposed | :20:16. | :20:30. | |
by the President? Actually, there is no need for the deputies to be tried | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
in this way. There was an ordinary way that the majority party could | :20:37. | :20:43. | |
decide who would go to the court after the discussion in the | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
parliament. The commission and the assembly and make a decision for | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
every individual after their defence. Now all the rights for | :20:54. | :21:01. | |
defence and the individuality of the debate has been removed and there is | :21:02. | :21:11. | |
a total lifting of the desert for certain people. In other departments | :21:12. | :21:23. | |
of Justice Ministry will be anonymously lifted. The Government | :21:24. | :21:30. | |
says that nobody, even members of Parliament cat should be immune from | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
prosecution. -- should be immune from prosecution. The immunity means | :21:36. | :21:51. | |
community from prosecution. There is no valid reason now. You think this | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
is another blow to democracy in Turkey, as other critics have said. | :21:57. | :22:02. | |
As that's right? Yes, of course. This is what the majority does to | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
their minority. The majority party who holds the majority of the seats | :22:08. | :22:13. | |
and the parliament tries to oust the minority out of the Parliament. | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
There is nothing to do with democracy here. Secondly, all those | :22:18. | :22:31. | |
charges directed against the deputies are simply addressing it to | :22:32. | :22:37. | |
the people outside of the Parliament. They are going to be | :22:38. | :22:46. | |
tried but not for any deed. We are just showing some pictures and you | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
can probably hear the sound of the disruption in the last few days. Can | :22:50. | :22:57. | |
I just ask you, any sense, Turkey wants to get to membership of the | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
European Union. That is going to be these free travel potentially for | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
people from Turkey into Europe, do you think that is a good idea now as | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
the Government increases these moves? Do you think there is a | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
security threat in Turkey from people coming to Europe? Actually, | :23:17. | :23:22. | |
everybody should be free to travel everywhere in the world. If Turkey | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
is now discussing with Europe that Turkey is going to get views as | :23:28. | :23:33. | |
because Turkey is a democratic country and Turkey is going to meet | :23:34. | :23:37. | |
the European Union demands, we can see the first demand, the freedom of | :23:38. | :23:46. | |
speech and the freedom of political freedom, are being narrowed every | :23:47. | :23:54. | |
day and Turkey is not meeting one of the major conditions. Of course, | :23:55. | :24:00. | |
every Turkish person should go anywhere in the world if they want. | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
If the Turkish person except the condition is right, with broader | :24:06. | :24:11. | |
rights, there is no broader rights here. Therefore, this is a failure | :24:12. | :24:19. | |
of innocence. Thank you very much for joining us. | :24:20. | :24:27. | |
Here in London, a convicted murderer has pleaded guilty to trespassing | :24:28. | :24:30. | |
Dennis Hennesey, who's 41, scaled a perimeter wall | :24:31. | :24:33. | |
and was found by officers after an alarm was activated | :24:34. | :24:35. | |
The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh were in residence at the time. | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
Our royal correspondent Peter Hunt says this isn't the first breach | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
of security there's been at the palace. | :24:45. | :24:52. | |
I am sure viewers around the world remember the story of Michael Fagan | :24:53. | :25:02. | |
who came here and got over the walls, he went up a drain pipe and | :25:03. | :25:11. | |
got into the Queen's bedroom. It was the first time anyone has been in | :25:12. | :25:15. | |
there since Queen Victoria. He was only removed when he asked for a | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
cigarette and she got a footman who helped the man until the police | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
came. That was the dark days of royal security. On this incident, | :25:25. | :25:28. | |
the police are feeling more confident. The insist this man was | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
detained in the gardens and did not get into the palace. Peter at their | :25:34. | :25:36. | |
outside Buckingham Palace. Search teams in the Mediterranean | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
Sea say they've found human remains and wreckage from the missing | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
EgyptAir plane. The European Space Agency says one | :25:45. | :25:46. | |
of its satellites has detected a potential oil slick | :25:47. | :25:48. | |
where the flight disappeared. There is much more online. Thank you | :25:49. | :25:58. | |
for watching. | :25:59. | :26:07. |
