Tonight at Ten: the latest flashpoint in Europe's migration | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
crisis, this time on the Greek border with Macedonia. | :00:08. | :00:15. | |
Macedonian police used stun grenades to drive back the migrants | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
and refugees trying to make their way to northern Europe. | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
They don't open the borders, Macedonia, don't open the borders | :00:23. | :00:32. | |
and the people are coming more and more. | :00:33. | :00:41. | |
And 1500 miles away, another migrant crisis, | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
this time in Calais, where a demolition team destroys | :00:45. | :00:46. | |

And coming up in Sportsday on BBC News, Manu Tuilangi has tonight | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
joined England's training squad ahead of their next Six Nations | :01:29. | :01:30. | |
match with Wales after recently returning from injury. | :01:31. | :01:53. | |
The latest flashpoint in Europe's migration crisis | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
is Greece's border with Macedonia , where thousands of migrants have | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
been driven back with tear gas by Macedonian police. | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
The migrants had stormed one of the main gates in the border | :02:05. | :02:12. | |
fence, close to a camp at Idomeni, where 7,000 people | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
are using facilities designed to cater for just 2,000. | :02:18. | :02:19. | |
Macedonia is one of several European countries introducing | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
border controls to limit the number of people | :02:22. | :02:23. | |
Our correspondent, Danny Savage, is at the camp. | :02:24. | :02:31. | |
This border camp is full way beyond its capacity. | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
After a night out in the open, much of the day is spent | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
7,000 mainly Iraqis and Syrians are here. | :02:39. | :02:40. | |
Many of them have the right papers to move on from Greece | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
but the border is hardly ever open and they | :02:44. | :02:45. | |
You have to wait for a long time for food, toilets, everywhere. | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
And a crowd marched on the border gate. | :02:52. | :03:00. | |
As countries further up the migrant trail restrict the flow of people, | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
So the people took direct action, forcing open | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
This is the view from the Macedonian side, a border guard fires tear gas | :03:09. | :03:15. | |
On the other side of the fence the man in the front of the picture | :03:16. | :03:24. | |
in the blue jacket is hit by that canister. | :03:25. | :03:26. | |
There's panic as the toxic gas starts spreading. | :03:27. | :03:33. | |
A boy staggers from the crash, retching. | :03:34. | :03:35. | |
Others collapse with their eyes and lungs burning. | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
Today, on a European border, children were tear-gassed. | :03:39. | :03:47. | |
Those who have worked here for months know why | :03:48. | :03:49. | |
People just feel like nothing is moving, they are worried | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
that the border is not going to open at all. | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
They saw how quickly restrictions were | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
implemented for the Afghanis and I think there's a real sense | :03:58. | :03:59. | |
amongst the Syrians and Iraqis that at any | :04:00. | :04:01. | |
It's quite a while now since the tear gas was fired | :04:02. | :04:10. | |
but you can still smell it and tasted in the air as well. | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
So this stand-off continues with several | :04:14. | :04:15. | |
hundred people still here at the border gates. | :04:16. | :04:17. | |
And the violence will continue as well, if the numbers here keep | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
growing and people keep getting frustrated. | :04:21. | :04:21. | |
And some people here understand why the Macedonian | :04:22. | :04:23. | |
authorities reacted in the way they did. | :04:24. | :04:25. | |
Because they throw stones on police and they don't care about them. | :04:26. | :04:32. | |
This evening this huge encampment settled | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
down to another night in fields in northern Greece. | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
They know there are people in Europe who don't want | :04:39. | :04:48. | |
them, but they also know Germany's doors are open and can't comprehend | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
why the countries between here and there | :04:52. | :04:52. | |
Danny Savage, BBC News, on the Greece | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
Some 1500 miles away from Greece in Northern France | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
another migrant crisis has been developing. | :05:01. | :05:02. | |
Much of the camp near the port of Calais, | :05:03. | :05:04. | |
known as 'the jungle', where thousands of people have been | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
living in makeshift shelters, has been dismantled. | :05:09. | :05:10. | |
Some of the migrants say they might be forced to claim asylum in France | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
rather than making the journey to Britain. | :05:16. | :05:17. | |
Our correspondent Lucy Williamson reports from Calais. | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
They came in at breakfast time, the arrival of the state | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
One by one, migrants waking in the camp's southern zone | :05:28. | :05:35. | |
were told they had an hour to pack their things and leave, | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
as all around, demolition teams took the empty shelters apart. | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
It didn't take long for others to join in the destruction. | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
A fire at one of the shelters set riot police against | :05:48. | :05:49. | |
Among them, activists, who have been urging residents | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
What was meant to be a gentle eviction through encouragement | :05:54. | :06:03. | |
and information became a blunt exchange of tear gas and rocks | :06:04. | :06:05. | |
Just a few hours in, and already the plan for eviction | :06:06. | :06:12. | |
The question here is who the police are fighting - | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
the migrants themselves or the activists who say | :06:19. | :06:20. | |
Those who leave are being offered places in government container homes | :06:21. | :06:34. | |
just a few minutes walk away in the camp's | :06:35. | :06:36. | |
Unpopular with those not planning to stay. You have to enter | :06:37. | :06:52. | |
fingerprints. If you give them fingerprints, and leave and go to | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
another country, they can say for you, you asked for asylum in France | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
already, so we cannot give you documents. | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
By dusk, the battle was underway again, a second fire in the place | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
The water cannon brought in, not for the fire, | :07:09. | :07:16. | |
And then teargas for anyone else still standing nearby. | :07:17. | :07:24. | |
TRANSLATION: The north border activists set fire to the tents | :07:25. | :07:26. | |
That is not acceptable and it is normal that we have | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
Among the weapons on display in the camp | :07:31. | :07:37. | |
tonight, a machete, carried openly, within metres of the police. | :07:38. | :07:44. | |
The stakes in the crisis here are growing, and this, | :07:45. | :07:46. | |
says Calais, is Britain's problem, not ours. | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
As we've seen the migrant crisis is putting extreme pressure | :07:52. | :07:53. | |
on Europe's borders, and different countries | :07:54. | :07:55. | |
It's not just Macedonia which is putting up fences. | :07:56. | :08:06. | |
Bulgaria has built a razor-wire fence, 15-feet high, | :08:07. | :08:08. | |
along parts of its border with Turkey. | :08:09. | :08:10. | |
Hungary has put up barriers along its borders with Serbia and Croatia. | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
There are also fences between Croatia and Slovenia, | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
Austria has also been heavily criticised for limiting the amount | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
of asylum applications it accepts to 80 a day. | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
All this has meant that migrants and refugees arriving in Greece | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
are having trouble moving north, deepening the country's crisis. | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
Our Europe editor Katya Adler is in Athens tonight. | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
We have talked a bit about the response of individual countries, | :08:40. | :08:47. | |
what about the response of the European Union? Well, the EU has | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
plenty of plans in place. It wants to form an EU border and coastguard. | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
It wants security checks for those coming from outside the EU to the | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
inside. It wants to expel failed asylum seekers more efficiently. But | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
that is all taking too long. In the meantime those countries you | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
mentioned who had hundreds of thousands of refugees and others | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
travelling across them from their entry point into Europe here in | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
Greece, they are breaking ranks and imposing their own border controls | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
to protect themselves, they say. Tensions are really running high. | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
Greece is panicking, still struggling economic too. Now worried | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
it's going to be left looking after 70,000 angry stuck refugees and | :09:30. | :09:31. | |
others by the end of March because of those border closures. Austria's | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
Chancellor says Greece only has itself to blame for acting as a | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
travel agent for migrants coming he says, putting them further to | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
richer, Northern Europe. Germany says it's very angry about those | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
northern border closes. Chancellor Merkel says Greece cannot be | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
abandoned to plunge into chaos. Her word used to count for a lot in EU | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
circles but now many countries blame her open-door policy for making even | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
worse the mess that you find itself in. Spring is coming and that means | :10:02. | :10:08. | |
more boats. The EU says the only way forward is together but it's 28 | :10:09. | :10:09. | |
member countries cannot agree how. The retail sector faces the loss | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
of nearly a million jobs and the closure of thousands | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
of shops in the next decade, partly because of the rapid | :10:19. | :10:20. | |
growth of online shopping. The British Retail Consortium | :10:21. | :10:22. | |
says rising costs due to the National Living Wage | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
and the new apprenticeship levy Our economics editor Kamal Ahmed has | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
more details. Britain has been accused | :10:30. | :10:36. | |
of being a nation of shopkeepers, Three million people have jobs | :10:37. | :10:38. | |
in the retail sector, the largest private | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
employer in the country. One out of every ten | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
of us works in retail. This shop in Coventry | :10:51. | :10:52. | |
is at the sharp end. Online is getting bigger, | :10:53. | :10:59. | |
discounters are getting bigger. The only way is by | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
reducing staff hours. Today, online giant Amazon sealed | :11:06. | :11:15. | |
a deal with Morrison's The number of jobs in the retail | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
sector could fall by a third, Of the 270,000 shops in the UK | :11:21. | :11:27. | |
today, the report claims up The British Retail Consortium | :11:28. | :11:39. | |
estimates the cost of the new national living wage | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
to the industry of up I met one of Britain's leading | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
retailers and asked him if people understood the possible | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
shocks ahead. Currently, there is a sort | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
of complacency around where, somehow, people are not realising | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
just how significantly the workplace And I think that is dangerous, | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
in fact. Oxford Street, one of the busiest | :12:02. | :12:08. | |
shopping streets in the world. Not too much evidence | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
here of the crisis facing But in other parts of Britain, | :12:13. | :12:14. | |
less affluent parts of Britain, Rising costs, falling prices | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
and reduced profits are a toxic mix. What is striking about this report | :12:21. | :12:27. | |
is how the industry is responding - by increasing the number of people | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
on very low pay. I do believe retail has a problem | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
with low pay. It has been evidence-based that it's | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
part of the low-paying sectors, and that is the very reason we have | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
been campaigning for quality jobs, The changing world of retail could | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
mean better prices for customers. Brutal competition has its | :12:49. | :12:57. | |
advantages. It could mean higher pay for those | :12:58. | :12:59. | |
left in the industry But for hundreds of thousands | :13:00. | :13:02. | |
of shop workers who could lose their jobs, this is | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
a time for concern. The first minister of | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon, has warned David Cameron | :13:11. | :13:12. | |
against fighting what she called a 'miserable, negative | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
and fear-based' referendum campaign. The Scottish Government | :13:18. | :13:18. | |
is in favour of the UK staying in the European Union, | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
and the first minister said Mr Cameron was already counting | :13:22. | :13:23. | |
the cost of 'going negative'. Mr Cameron has rejected claims he's | :13:24. | :13:25. | |
trying to scare people Our Scotland editor | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
Sarah Smith reports. Nicola Sturgeon is probably the UK | :13:29. | :13:35. | |
party leader most enthusiastic In London today she laid out | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
what she thinks is a much more positive case than we've heard | :13:39. | :13:45. | |
from the Prime Minister. Free trade, free | :13:46. | :13:48. | |
movement, environmental protections, employment and social | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
rights, all of these are substantial She fears David Cameron could lose | :13:53. | :13:54. | |
the referendum if he tries The risk to the In | :13:55. | :14:01. | |
campaign is that if it is a miserable, negative, | :14:02. | :14:11. | |
scaremongering campaign then they will turn people | :14:12. | :14:13. | |
off and that is the last thing needed given how narrowly | :14:14. | :14:15. | |
balanced the opinion polls look Many of the arguments we are hearing | :14:16. | :14:18. | |
so far are very reminiscent of the arguments in the No | :14:19. | :14:29. | |
campaign in the Scottish What happened in the Scottish | :14:30. | :14:32. | |
referendum was that that kind of negative campaign saw the No | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
campaign squander a 20 point lead David Cameron could save these | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
tactics won the referendum The point I'm going on to | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
make is the In campaign doesn't have a 20 point | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
lead to squander. For once the Prime Minister | :14:50. | :14:51. | |
and Nicola Sturgeon But she says you will not | :14:52. | :14:53. | |
see them out campaining Today he is warning of up | :14:54. | :15:03. | |
to a decade of uncertainty if the UK What happens for the seven, | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
eight, nine years while we wait to put these | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
arrangements in place? What happens to jobs, | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
what happens to confidence, what happens to | :15:14. | :15:14. | |
people's livelihoods? What happens to businesses | :15:15. | :15:16. | |
thinking about whether to invest here in Britain | :15:17. | :15:18. | |
or go somewhere else? Boris Johnson was touring | :15:19. | :15:21. | |
a bus factory in Northern He's calling the remain | :15:22. | :15:23. | |
campaign Project Fear, trying to spook voters | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
with scare stories. It's time to show the positive side | :15:30. | :15:31. | |
of what Britain can do. We lead the world in | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
all sorts of sectors that nobody dreamt | :15:36. | :15:38. | |
of even ten years ago. And now is the opportunity to get | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
rid of so much of the bureaucracy and the overregulation that's | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
coming from Brussels. We look forward | :15:48. | :15:48. | |
to June's referendum. Nicola Sturgeon says | :15:49. | :15:51. | |
she doesn't want to scare people into staying in the EU, | :15:52. | :15:53. | |
it would be more effective She's hoping to encourage | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
David Cameron to try There's more information | :15:57. | :15:59. | |
and background on the BBC News website including analysis | :16:00. | :16:11. | |
from our Reality Check team on the latest claims | :16:12. | :16:17. | |
and counter-claims - In America it's the last day | :16:18. | :16:18. | |
of campaigning before the busiest single day of the | :16:19. | :16:27. | |
presidential primaries. on the latest claims | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
and counter-claims - On what's called Super Tuesday, | :16:31. | :16:40. | |
voters in 11 states will take part in the process of selecting | :16:41. | :16:42. | |
their party candidates. There's been criticism | :16:43. | :16:44. | |
that the standard of campaigning on the Republican side, | :16:45. | :16:46. | |
where Donald Trump is still the front-runner, has | :16:47. | :16:48. | |
reached an all-time low. But his main rival, | :16:49. | :16:50. | |
Senator Marco Rubio, believes the man he's been | :16:51. | :16:52. | |
calling a 'con-artist' can editor Jon Sopel | :16:53. | :16:54. | |
reports from Georgia. It's also aggressive | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
and uncompromising battle. And if you want some | :17:00. | :17:06. | |
of that in your politics, well, it seems only one | :17:07. | :17:13. | |
person fits the bill. Literally every single driver | :17:14. | :17:15. | |
and mechanic we spoke to had He's going to make | :17:16. | :17:18. | |
America great again. They are equally uncompromising | :17:19. | :17:35. | |
about what they like Everybody is so angry | :17:36. | :17:37. | |
about the Democrats and so angry with the Republicans, that's why | :17:38. | :17:40. | |
he's got the support he's got. He's the "screw you Washington" | :17:41. | :17:43. | |
vote, that's all he is. The one person who could possibly | :17:44. | :17:45. | |
overtake him is the Florida Last Thursday in a TV | :17:46. | :17:58. | |
debate he changed tactics. Clearly calculating that he has | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
to play Donald Trump Something he's continuing | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
to do at his rallies. A guy with the worst spray tan | :18:05. | :18:14. | |
in America is attacking me He should sue whoever | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
did that to his face. And continued that line | :18:18. | :18:25. | |
of attack when I spoke to him Are you confident you can | :18:26. | :18:27. | |
still beat Donald Trump? There is no way the party of Lincoln | :18:28. | :18:35. | |
and Reagan is going to be taken over We are going to do | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
everything we can. I will be in this race | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
as long as it takes. And did Thursday make a difference | :18:44. | :18:44. | |
in the debate? We will find out, but it is just | :18:45. | :18:47. | |
the beginning of the process. He has fooled a number | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
of voters around this country so far into believing | :18:52. | :18:53. | |
he really is what he says he is. We look forward to | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
examining his record and we have confidence | :18:58. | :18:58. | |
about what it will mean. At the end of the day, | :18:59. | :19:00. | |
when this process is finished, Donald Trump will not have the 1,237 | :19:01. | :19:03. | |
delegates he needs to win, and I will be in this | :19:04. | :19:06. | |
race as long as it takes to prevent | :19:07. | :19:09. | |
that from happening. The deep South is deeply | :19:10. | :19:10. | |
conservative and the strategy of the Rubio camp | :19:11. | :19:13. | |
is to try to convince people like these that Trump | :19:14. | :19:16. | |
is really a slightly dodgy But the public for | :19:17. | :19:18. | |
the moment doesn't seem This is the tri-state area, | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
Georgia that way, cross the bridge And if you go in that | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
direction you are In all three states | :19:28. | :19:30. | |
according to the latest Yes, there has been a sustained | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
onslaught from Marco Rubio these past few days, but is it | :19:35. | :19:42. | |
too little, too late? Four people have gone | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
on trial at the Old Bailey accused of illegally importing | :19:47. | :19:54. | |
dozens of automatic weapons into the UK - which prosecutors say | :19:55. | :19:56. | |
were capable of 'unleashing carnage The court heard the gang used a boat | :19:57. | :19:59. | |
to smuggle the weapons Prosecutors said the weapons | :20:00. | :20:03. | |
would have been sold into the criminal underworld - | :20:04. | :20:06. | |
as our home affairs correspondent As the defendants were swept | :20:07. | :20:08. | |
into the Old Bailey courthouse the City of London traffic | :20:09. | :20:18. | |
was held up by police. Armed officers stood sentry | :20:19. | :20:24. | |
and security levels in and around On trial three men and a woman | :20:25. | :20:27. | |
accused of smuggling a frightening number of weapons across | :20:28. | :20:33. | |
the Channel into Britain. Among them 22 assault rifles made | :20:34. | :20:39. | |
in the Czech Republic, 25-year-old Harry Shilling | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
on the left is accused of planning the job, helped by his | :20:44. | :20:49. | |
friend, Michael Defraine. The prosecution say they bought this | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
boat to bring the guns He's pleaded guilty, | :20:55. | :20:57. | |
but his partner, Jenny Arthy, is on trial accused | :20:58. | :21:04. | |
of helping him buy The prosecution says he picked up | :21:05. | :21:06. | |
the guns in Boulogne harbour, sailed back across the Channel | :21:07. | :21:13. | |
and up the River Medway into an area Once the guns were in Kent, Dave | :21:14. | :21:16. | |
Payne sent a text to a go-between, a friend of Harry | :21:17. | :21:25. | |
Shilling, "All done". The prosecution say Harry Shilling | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
then emailed Michael Defraine, And then, "We no officially | :21:31. | :21:32. | |
gangsters." The next day the guns | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
were brought ashore. But as the men were unloaded | :21:38. | :21:43. | |
the weapons, they were unaware that they were being filmed | :21:44. | :21:45. | |
by surveillance officers from the National Crime Agency | :21:46. | :21:48. | |
who had based themselves The guns were seized along | :21:49. | :21:50. | |
with a large amount of ammunition. All four people on trial deny | :21:51. | :21:58. | |
the charges against them. 14 men have been convicted | :21:59. | :22:11. | |
of plotting to steal Chinese artefacts and rhino horn - | :22:12. | :22:13. | |
worth up to ?57 million - in a series of raids | :22:14. | :22:16. | |
on museums and auction houses. The biggest was on the Fitzwilliam | :22:17. | :22:18. | |
Museum in Cambridge four years ago. The men will be sentenced | :22:19. | :22:21. | |
at a later date. A significant shortage of NHS | :22:22. | :22:30. | |
doctors and nurses means that more than two-thirds of trusts | :22:31. | :22:33. | |
and health boards - in England, Wales | :22:34. | :22:35. | |
and Northern Ireland - are actively trying to recruit | :22:36. | :22:36. | |
staff from overseas. Figures obtained by the BBC show | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
there are more than 23,000 nursing vacancies in those parts of the NHS | :22:43. | :22:45. | |
- that's 9% of the workforce. And there are 6,000 | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
vacancies for doctors - Our health correspondent | :22:50. | :22:51. | |
Dominic Hughes has joined one NHS recruitment team in Manila | :22:52. | :22:57. | |
in the Philippines. A city more than 6,500 | :22:58. | :23:03. | |
miles from the UK. And yet almost every week NHS trusts | :23:04. | :23:11. | |
fly halfway around the world Their mission, to find some | :23:12. | :23:13. | |
desperately needed nurses. Pauline is leading a team | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
from rural Lincolnshire. Today we are looking | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
for something like 46. You have to get a good feel for, | :23:24. | :23:26. | |
have they got the right skills and values and give them | :23:27. | :23:29. | |
a chance to get comfortable Around 200 candidates are put | :23:30. | :23:31. | |
through a gruelling series of tests Well, the United Lincolnshire Trust | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
is 200 nurses short and that contributes to a staggering bill | :23:36. | :23:46. | |
of ?2.5 million spent each The charity ward of | :23:47. | :23:48. | |
Manila's biggest hospital. One of the senior nurses here says | :23:49. | :23:59. | |
this is a typically intense training ground for those trying | :24:00. | :24:02. | |
to land jobs in the UK. Handling 25 patients per shift, | :24:03. | :24:10. | |
basically hones more of the skills. Unlike the NHS, the Philippines has | :24:11. | :24:14. | |
a glut of qualified nurses - each year as many as | :24:15. | :24:17. | |
100,000 are trained. But the country can offer less | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
than 40,000 nursing jobs. The reason so many Filipino nurses | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
are willing to swap the vibrant and chaotic streets of Manila | :24:27. | :24:29. | |
for Lincolnshire is poverty. A nurse here may expect to earn | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
around ?135 a month. By getting a job in the UK | :24:35. | :24:37. | |
with the NHS they can increase their salary | :24:38. | :24:40. | |
by ten times at a stroke. One nurse heading to Lincolnshire | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
is 26 year-old Rose. The job she has been offered | :24:46. | :24:48. | |
will change her life and that For Rose, Lincolnshire | :24:49. | :24:51. | |
is a long way from home. I will be leaving my family | :24:52. | :24:58. | |
here and living there Because I really want to help them, | :24:59. | :25:09. | |
I really want to earn money just to help them and give | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
them a better life. We are absolutely delighted | :25:15. | :25:16. | |
to offer 131 of you a job Rose and more than 100 others | :25:17. | :25:19. | |
offered jobs still have to pass tough language and professional | :25:20. | :25:23. | |
exams, and get a visa before they can take up | :25:24. | :25:25. | |
their jobs in the UK. But the recruitment process | :25:26. | :25:28. | |
is also about saving money. Once they work in practice for three | :25:29. | :25:30. | |
months unsupervised, becoming independent practitioners, | :25:31. | :25:33. | |
they will have paid for themselves. While the NHS struggles to train | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
and recruit staff at home, for these Filipino nurses a new life | :25:38. | :25:39. | |
in Lincolnshire awaits. Google's self-driving car has | :25:40. | :25:43. | |
hit a bus in a minor It's believed to be the first case | :25:44. | :25:55. | |
of one of the company's autonomous Our Technology Correspondent Rory | :25:56. | :26:02. | |
Cellan-Jones is here. We know that in previous incidents | :26:03. | :26:17. | |
other cars have driven into Google's car. This is the first time the | :26:18. | :26:24. | |
reverse has happened. This was in Mountain View California, where | :26:25. | :26:27. | |
Google is based. It was in the right hand lane preparing to turn right, | :26:28. | :26:31. | |
where there were sandbags in its way. The car and the driver looked | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
behind them, saw a bus coming up, judged it was going to stop, pulled | :26:37. | :26:41. | |
out. The bus didn't stop, ran into the car, causing minor damage and no | :26:42. | :26:46. | |
injuries. Google says it is now reprogramming the software and from | :26:47. | :26:51. | |
now on our cars will more deeply and that buses and other large vehicles | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
are less likely to yield to us than other vehicles, a lesson perhaps | :26:57. | :27:00. | |
other human drivers have perhaps already learned. Thank you. | :27:01. | :27:04. | |
This year's Oscars shone a bright light - | :27:05. | :27:06. | |
once again - on the lack of ethnic diversity in Hollywood - | :27:07. | :27:09. | |
and certainly among this year's Oscar nominees. | :27:10. | :27:10. | |
All 20 nominees in the best acting or supporting acting | :27:11. | :27:13. | |
It's prompted a lively debate about the reasons - | :27:14. | :27:16. | |
and the kind of response that some say is needed. | :27:17. | :27:18. | |
Let's join our entertainment correspondent Lizo Mzimbo | :27:19. | :27:20. | |
-- on Sunset Boulevard. Yes, the per exemption is that the Academy has | :27:21. | :27:33. | |
been stunned into action. Proposals include losing some more elderly | :27:34. | :27:37. | |
members and doubling the number of ethnic minority voters by the year | :27:38. | :27:42. | |
2020. None of this was in time for last night's ceremony, although it | :27:43. | :27:48. | |
was a night where a number of celebrities highlighted serious | :27:49. | :27:51. | |
subjects, including the host, Chris Rock, on the ongoing diversity row. | :27:52. | :27:55. | |
Serious issues being talked about as much | :27:56. | :27:58. | |
Well, I'm here at the Academy Awards. | :27:59. | :28:01. | |
Otherwise known as the White People's Choice Awards! | :28:02. | :28:05. | |
You realise if they nominated hosts, I wouldn't even get this job! | :28:06. | :28:11. | |
Chris Rock's sometimes savage monologue referenced the present | :28:12. | :28:13. | |
We were too busy being raped and lynched to care | :28:14. | :28:26. | |
As was the winner of Best Actor, Leonardo DiCaprio. | :28:27. | :28:32. | |
I thank you all for this amazing award tonight. | :28:33. | :28:35. | |
Let us not take this planet for granted. | :28:36. | :28:38. | |
His director, on The Revenant, Alejandro Inarritu, also won. | :28:39. | :28:49. | |
His speech was also more substance than show business. | :28:50. | :28:53. | |
Make sure, for once and forever, that the colour of a skin becomes | :28:54. | :28:56. | |
as irrelevant as the length of our hair. | :28:57. | :29:02. | |
To the surprise of a few, Best Film was won by... | :29:03. | :29:05. | |
The Academy honouring the story of the Boston Globe's uncovering | :29:06. | :29:09. | |
Brie Larson was named Best Actress for her performance | :29:10. | :29:15. | |
in the heavyweight abduction drama Room. | :29:16. | :29:18. | |
Thank you to the fans, thank you to the moviegoers, | :29:19. | :29:20. | |
thank you for going to the theatre and seeing our films. | :29:21. | :29:23. | |
British successes included Mark Rylance. | :29:24. | :29:28. | |
The actor, who made his name on the stage, has now added | :29:29. | :29:31. | |
a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for Bridge of Spies to his Olivier | :29:32. | :29:34. | |
How does it feel to have won, Mark? | :29:35. | :29:38. | |
As an actor, to win an Academy Award is something very unusual, | :29:39. | :29:46. | |
Amy, about singer Amy WineHouse, took the best documentary award. | :29:47. | :29:56. | |
It is about showing the world what she was really like. | :29:57. | :29:58. | |
The beautiful girl, funny, intelligent, witty. | :29:59. | :30:05. | |
And multiple Brit and Grammy award winner Sam Smith now has | :30:06. | :30:09. | |
a Best Song Oscar too for his Bond theme, Writing's on the Wall. | :30:10. | :30:13. | |
I stand here tonight as a proud gay man and I hope we can all stand | :30:14. | :30:17. | |
While Lady Gaga spoke out musically against sexual abuse, | :30:18. | :30:28. | |
at an Oscars where so many took the opportunity to make a statement | :30:29. | :30:31. | |
to a global audience in the tens of millions. | :30:32. | :30:40. | |
Europe appears to be adopting the Donald Trump solution to border | :30:41. | :30:53. | |
control, building bigger fences to restrict migration. We'll ask if it | :30:54. | :30:58. | |
works and is it really the best Europe can do. | :30:59. | :31:00. |
