:00:10. > :00:12.The admission follows days of questions, prompted

:00:17. > :00:19.Mr Cameron denies his father set up the fund to avoid tax,

:00:23. > :00:29.Samantha and I had a joint account and we owned 5,000 units

:00:30. > :00:35.in Blairmore Investment Trust, which we sold in January 2010.

:00:36. > :00:39.That was worth something like ?30,000.

:00:40. > :00:41.We'll be looking at the Prime Minister's latest attempt

:00:42. > :00:44.to draw a line under the tax haven controversy.

:00:45. > :00:48.The woman murdered by two teenage girls -

:00:49. > :00:52.her killers have been jailed for at least 15 years.

:01:09. > :01:12.Young girls, women, were raped here, murdered.

:01:13. > :01:14.Some were so desperate to escape their tormenters

:01:15. > :01:21.that they ran, they jumped over the balcony to commit suicide.

:01:22. > :01:25.And a rare copy of Shakespeare's First Folio found at a stately home

:01:26. > :01:35.Defending champion Jordan Spieth sets the standard after carding an

:01:36. > :02:00.opening round 6-under par 66 at the Masters.

:02:01. > :02:04.The Prime Minister has tried once again to draw a line under the tax

:02:05. > :02:07.haven controversy and the persistent questions about his

:02:08. > :02:11.Mr Cameron revealed today that he and his wife had sold

:02:12. > :02:15.shares six years ago, which were held in an offshore fund,

:02:16. > :02:20.The shares were worth around ?30,000.

:02:21. > :02:22.And he insisted that profits from the scheme were subject

:02:23. > :02:28.Mr Cameron also defended his late father and said it was wrong

:02:29. > :02:32.to suggest that Blairmore Holdings had been set up to avoid tax.

:02:33. > :02:38.Our deputy political editor, James Landale, has more details.

:02:39. > :02:43.When a politician is under pressure, when they are facing tough questions

:02:44. > :02:47.about their family and finances, their natural instinct is to say as

:02:48. > :02:51.little as possible and protect their privacy. But then when that pressure

:02:52. > :02:55.gets too great, there always comes a moment when they have to go public.

:02:56. > :03:02.For David Cameron, that moment came this evening.

:03:03. > :03:05.How are you? Good to see you. For days, David Cameron has been dogged

:03:06. > :03:10.by allegations about his late father, about whether Ian Cameron's

:03:11. > :03:16.offshore business avoided paying tax and whether the Prime Minister

:03:17. > :03:20.himself benefitted from the profits. The allegations emerged on Monday

:03:21. > :03:26.after millions of documents from a law firm in Panama were leaked

:03:27. > :03:30.revealing that in the 1980s, Mr Cameron's father set up Blairmore

:03:31. > :03:35.based in the Bahamas that never paid any UK tax. All week, David Cameron

:03:36. > :03:39.has faced tough questions and worse headlines about whether he gained

:03:40. > :03:42.from any offshore investments, all the while campaigning for greater

:03:43. > :03:50.tax transparency at international summits. Tonight, finally, he gave

:03:51. > :03:55.his answer. In 1997 he had bought a holding in his father's company

:03:56. > :04:00.worth ?12,000. Samantha and I had a joint account and we owned 5,000

:04:01. > :04:08.units in Blairmore Investment Trust which we sold in January 2010. That

:04:09. > :04:12.was worth something like ?30,000. I had paid income tax on the

:04:13. > :04:16.dividends, but there was a profit on it but it was less than the Capital

:04:17. > :04:23.Gains Tax allowance so I didn't pay Capital Gains Tax, but it was

:04:24. > :04:26.subject to all the UK taxes. Mr Cameron insisted his father's

:04:27. > :04:29.company had been created to take advantage of new regulations that

:04:30. > :04:34.allowed stockbrokers for the first time to deal in shares that were

:04:35. > :04:38.valued in dollars. A lot of the criticisms are based on a

:04:39. > :04:43.fundamental misconception which is that Blairmore Investment, a unit

:04:44. > :04:50.trust, was set up with the idea of avoiding tax. It wasn't. It was set

:04:51. > :05:00.up after exchange controls went so people who wanted to invested in

:05:01. > :05:19.dollar companies could do so. So this was an interview that David

:05:20. > :05:22.Cameron didn't want to give, but the partial statements from his office

:05:23. > :05:26.weren't enough. He felt he had to say more to try to draw a line under

:05:27. > :05:32.a story that he felt was misleading and unfair about his father. That at

:05:33. > :05:36.least was his hope. But it was a hope in vain, for Labour MPs tonight

:05:37. > :05:38.said the revelations prompted further questions, questions that

:05:39. > :05:39.said the revelations prompted they intend to push when Parliament

:05:40. > :05:46.returns next week. What other shareholdings did David Cameron hold

:05:47. > :05:49.whilst he was an MP and Leader of the Opposition? Was he invested in

:05:50. > :05:53.any other trusts that were established in this kind of way? The

:05:54. > :05:55.British people would expect him to be fully transparent about what his

:05:56. > :05:59.shareholdings were. be fully transparent about what his

:06:00. > :05:59.Cameron said he had nothing to hide. But admitted it

:06:00. > :06:05.Cameron said he had nothing to hide. few days. He couldn't bear to say

:06:06. > :06:09.his dad's name dragged through the mud. It is his name that is in the

:06:10. > :06:12.frame now. James, as you were saying, there

:06:13. > :06:17.have been several attempts by Number Ten to draw a line under this. Has

:06:18. > :06:21.he done enough today, do you think? He certainly hopes so.

:06:22. > :06:21.he done enough today, do you think? been completely transparent, he's

:06:22. > :06:26.promising been completely transparent, he's

:06:27. > :06:28.he has admitted that he inherited ?300,000 from his father and can't

:06:29. > :06:31.be completely clear ?300,000 from his father and can't

:06:32. > :06:37.money came from. So, I think it is going to be hard now for there to be

:06:38. > :06:41.further revelations of greater significance. We know David Cameron

:06:42. > :06:44.did actually benefit from an offshore trust, it was legal, but

:06:45. > :06:48.people have differing views about that. Of course, the questions will

:06:49. > :06:50.keep coming, from reporters, from opposition MPs, but he feels he will

:06:51. > :06:55.do enough. The opposition MPs, but he feels he will

:06:56. > :06:57.doesn't look great in terms of political imagery. David Cameron is

:06:58. > :07:00.locked into political imagery. David Cameron is

:07:01. > :07:04.his life, he is trying to convince the British people to vote to stay

:07:05. > :07:08.in the European Union. A huge amount is riding on his shoulders

:07:09. > :07:11.in the European Union. A huge amount persuasive capabilities. Anything

:07:12. > :07:13.like this that distances himself from the electorate, that reminds

:07:14. > :07:15.people of from the electorate, that reminds

:07:16. > :07:18.let's say the timing from the electorate, that reminds

:07:19. > :07:24.James, thank you very The Financial Conduct Authority has

:07:25. > :07:26.intervened to examine the role of British-based banks

:07:27. > :07:37.in the Panama Papers scandal. the Panamanian law firm at the heart

:07:38. > :07:42.of a secretive offshore network. Our business editor, Simon Jack,

:07:43. > :07:54.is in the City of London. Simon, how

:07:55. > :08:03.the City? Well, in the fight against financial crime, that could be tax

:08:04. > :08:06.evasion, money-laundering, banks are required to ask some searching

:08:07. > :08:10.questions, who is the ultimate client? What the Panama Papers

:08:11. > :08:13.reveal is that some law firms, like Mossack Fonseca, go to extraordinary

:08:14. > :08:18.lengths to obscure those very facts. If it is found that the banks that

:08:19. > :08:22.have been sent this letter have not asked tough enough questions, then

:08:23. > :08:26.the consequences can be very serious indeed. Fines from the UK watchdog

:08:27. > :08:30.have run into the tens of millions in situations like this. Fines from

:08:31. > :08:35.the US authorities have run into the many billions. So this letter will

:08:36. > :08:40.focus minds and there will be some anxious days and long nights in the

:08:41. > :08:42.offices behind me in the days ahead. Simon, thank you very much. Simon

:08:43. > :08:46.Jack, our business editor. If you want to find out more

:08:47. > :08:47.about the Panama Papers - and the reaction -

:08:48. > :08:49.have a look at our website - that's at bbc.co.uk/panamapapers -

:08:50. > :08:52.for the very latest Two teenage girls, who murdered

:08:53. > :09:01.a vulnerable woman in Hartlepool, have been given life sentences

:09:02. > :09:03.and told they'll serve The girls were 13 and 14

:09:04. > :09:09.when they attacked Angela Wrightson The first attempt to try the two

:09:10. > :09:17.was abandoned in July last year because of a stream of prejudicial

:09:18. > :09:21.comments made on social media, which resulted in strict reporting

:09:22. > :09:25.restrictions on the retrial. Our corresponent, Danny Savage,

:09:26. > :09:27.has been following the case. There are some ditressing

:09:28. > :09:32.details in his report. Two children in a street

:09:33. > :09:34.in Hartlepool on the night they slowly murdered

:09:35. > :09:39.a vulnerable alcoholic. Today in court, the 15-year-old

:09:40. > :09:43.girls wiped away the odd tear as they were sentenced for as long

:09:44. > :09:46.as they'd been alive. Giving the teenagers

:09:47. > :09:50.a minimum of 15 years each, the judge told them they carried out

:09:51. > :09:53.a cowardly attack sustained over a long period of time,

:09:54. > :09:55.carried out with weapons This is the pair on CCTV just

:09:56. > :10:03.after they'd killed, laughing and sniggering

:10:04. > :10:05.as they called police The girls' voices have been

:10:06. > :10:12.disguised. Where me and my friend are at,

:10:13. > :10:13.can you tell us how long you are going to be,

:10:14. > :10:16.we are freezing. No use ringing up swearing

:10:17. > :10:18.like that... Listed as vulnerable,

:10:19. > :10:26.they were used to officers We'll get somebody along

:10:27. > :10:32.there as soon as we can, all right. Their victim, Angela Wrightson,

:10:33. > :10:36.was a 39-year-old alcoholic. It was a tortuous attack

:10:37. > :10:39.on a helpless woman, using anything in her house

:10:40. > :10:43.they could lay their hands on. This man's daughters used

:10:44. > :10:44.to occasionally hang This sort of makes me wonder

:10:45. > :10:52.what could have happened God forbid if she'd have been

:10:53. > :10:54.with them that night. I would like to think she would have

:10:55. > :11:00.run a mile and made a phone call. When your own kids are near it,

:11:01. > :11:03.you start to worry about it. Another neighbour knew

:11:04. > :11:10.one of the killers. The girls were two of many

:11:11. > :11:14.free-loading drinking youngsters who he and his dog would clear out

:11:15. > :11:17.of Miss Wrightson's home He said today's sentences

:11:18. > :11:22.are not long enough. I've been in jail

:11:23. > :11:26.myself, it's too easy. Our jail sentences

:11:27. > :11:29.should be like America. If you commit murder,

:11:30. > :11:32.minimum 50 years before In court, the older girl says

:11:33. > :11:40.she didn't believe such She thought people could only die of

:11:41. > :11:45.cancer or if they were shot. Their life stories

:11:46. > :11:48.though are complicated. They were both in care, and came

:11:49. > :11:53.from troubled neglected backgrounds. When the older girl was asked

:11:54. > :11:55.in court what her date of birth was, That same girl did this

:11:56. > :12:02.drawing before the attack. What does this say about her mind

:12:03. > :12:06.set? I would suspect they probably didn't

:12:07. > :12:09.know what the outcome My feeling about their behaviour

:12:10. > :12:16.is that they've never been given any boundaries by what good behaviour

:12:17. > :12:22.is and what bad behaviour is. Last summer, the original trial

:12:23. > :12:25.about the murder in this street was abandoned after hundreds

:12:26. > :12:28.of abusive comments online. It was described as a virtual

:12:29. > :12:31.lynching mob. The case was then moved

:12:32. > :12:35.from Teesside to Leeds with a ban on mentioning proceedings

:12:36. > :12:39.on social media. The scars of what happened

:12:40. > :12:43.to Angela Wrightson are still The two girls responsible

:12:44. > :12:50.for her death now join the list of some of the youngest

:12:51. > :12:57.killers in Britain. Our home editor,

:12:58. > :13:05.Mark Easton, is with me. This distressing case has raised

:13:06. > :13:11.other questions about the way young criminals are dealt with in the UK?

:13:12. > :13:15.This was utterly sickening. I think that the sentence probably does

:13:16. > :13:18.reflect the court's and wider society's disgust at the crime. Life

:13:19. > :13:23.for both these girls, they will remain in jail for at least 15

:13:24. > :13:27.years, and even after that, they won't be released unless the Home

:13:28. > :13:31.Secretary agrees. The UK is very different from the rest of Europe in

:13:32. > :13:36.how it treats children involved even in the most grave crimes, British

:13:37. > :13:40.judges can and do impose life sentences on children, in fact when

:13:41. > :13:46.it comes to murder, they are obliged to do so. Only two other countries

:13:47. > :13:51.in the EU give children life sentences, Cyprus and France, and

:13:52. > :13:55.they do it very, very rarely. Since 2004, the courts in England and

:13:56. > :13:58.Wales have sentenced more than 200 children to life imprisonment. In

:13:59. > :14:03.the whole of the rest of the European Union, the courts have

:14:04. > :14:07.handed out in the last 25 years just two such sentences. It is a

:14:08. > :14:12.strikingly different approach? I think it is. Many countries do have

:14:13. > :14:16.a upper limit on child sentences, three years, ten years. But many

:14:17. > :14:20.states have a different view. They see juvenile offending as a welfare

:14:21. > :14:24.issue rather than a criminal issue. Indeed, in this case, two children

:14:25. > :14:28.who murdered Angela Wrightson, there will be questions for Hartlepool's

:14:29. > :14:31.Children's Services, the youngsters had an appalling childhood, they

:14:32. > :14:36.were both well-known to social services, they had been in council

:14:37. > :14:39.care for two years. Just a little xm pl, on the day of the murder, one of

:14:40. > :14:44.the two children went to see her mother, she wanted to spend some

:14:45. > :14:52.more time with her mum. The mother gave the child cider and strong

:14:53. > :14:56.painkillers, told her to go away and said, "Why don't you go and kill

:14:57. > :15:01.yourself?" None of this excuses the girls' actions. It does pose

:15:02. > :15:03.difficult questions about the responsibility of parents,

:15:04. > :15:07.certainly, but also the state. Thank you.

:15:08. > :15:10.Prosecutors in Belgium have released new images of the unidentified

:15:11. > :15:13.terror suspect seen in Brussels airport moments before the bomb

:15:14. > :15:19.The CCTV pictures show the suspect at various points

:15:20. > :15:24.Officials are hoping someone may recognise him.

:15:25. > :15:27.Our correspondent, James Reynolds, reports from Brussels on the latest

:15:28. > :15:32.Three men entered Brussels airport with explosives.

:15:33. > :15:35.The two on the left detonated theirs.

:15:36. > :15:38.The one on the right, who Belgium calls "the man with the hat",

:15:39. > :15:45.He managed to get away amid this, the aftermath of the explosions.

:15:46. > :15:51.Belgian officers have tried to retrace his steps that morning.

:15:52. > :15:55.The police have now put together this video of his escape.

:15:56. > :15:57.A security camera picks him up on the outskirts

:15:58. > :16:02.He's wearing a distinctive hat and pale jacket.

:16:03. > :16:06.At this point, no-one has any reason to notice him.

:16:07. > :16:14.The authorities are desperate to find more footage

:16:15. > :16:20.We especially appeal to people who might have filmed or taken

:16:21. > :16:24.a photograph of the suspect or think they can provide

:16:25. > :16:31.An hour after the explosions, a security camera films the suspect

:16:32. > :16:40.Later, in town, he crosses a busy road.

:16:41. > :16:43.At 9.49am, almost two hours after the bombs went off,

:16:44. > :16:49.he is seen again, possibly talking on the phone.

:16:50. > :16:52.The cameras lost the third man at about this point,

:16:53. > :16:57.This is a quiet neighbourhood, near the centre of town.

:16:58. > :17:01.He could have gone anywhere from here.

:17:02. > :17:04.This is the best shot the police have of their suspect's face.

:17:05. > :17:09.But they still don't know his name, nor where he may be hiding.

:17:10. > :17:18.20 years after the war in Bosnia, the country is still struggling

:17:19. > :17:21.to deal with the legacy of that conflict, which includes many

:17:22. > :17:24.thousands of sexual crimes committed against women.

:17:25. > :17:26.The EU's ambassador to Bosnia-Herzegovina has insisted

:17:27. > :17:31.that there can be no impunity for the perpetrators.

:17:32. > :17:33.Human rights groups say that as many as 20,000 women were raped,

:17:34. > :17:37.often in camps set up for that purpose.

:17:38. > :17:40.Our special correspondent, Fergal Keane, reports

:17:41. > :17:42.from the town of Visegrad - and there are some distressing

:17:43. > :17:52.The Muslims of Visegrad were trapped.

:17:53. > :18:15.Hundreds were murdered, herded to the banks of the River Drina.

:18:16. > :18:17.On its famous bridge, the Serbs executed men,

:18:18. > :18:30.But, 24 years on, the memory of horror is being deliberately

:18:31. > :18:53.erased - and nowhere is it more obvious than here.

:18:54. > :18:57.Ramza Mohic was raped here at the Vilina Vlas hotel.

:18:58. > :19:00.Other survivors say it was used as a rape camp.

:19:01. > :19:03.One alleged as many as 200 women suffered, though exact

:19:04. > :19:08.Ramza says she was attacked by Milan Lukic, a commander

:19:09. > :19:46.in the White Eagles militia, later jailed for mass murder.

:19:47. > :19:57.The rape camp is now reopened as a spa hotel.

:19:58. > :20:05.Tourists from across the region enjoy themselves here.

:20:06. > :20:08.If you arrived here as a guest, you'd never know these rooms had

:20:09. > :20:14.Young girls and women were raped here, murdered.

:20:15. > :20:16.Some were so desperate to escape their tormentors

:20:17. > :20:25.that they ran, they jumped over the balcony to commit suicide.

:20:26. > :20:29.The White Eagles even allowed a photographer

:20:30. > :20:35.Essad Jihic was 21 years old when he was taken to Vilina Vlas.

:20:36. > :20:38.He is the figure in black jacket and white jeans.

:20:39. > :20:42.After this beating, he and the other men were taken away and shot.

:20:43. > :21:08.Did you recognise your brother in the photograph?

:21:09. > :21:12.The Serbs remember their dead here, above Visegrad.

:21:13. > :21:14.The town is controlled by the hardline nationalist party

:21:15. > :21:19.of Radovan Karadzic, which fuelled the descent into genocide.

:21:20. > :21:25.But, in Visegrad today, you dare not use that word.

:21:26. > :21:28.The council removed the word from the memorial to the victims

:21:29. > :21:34.And the Vilina Vlas hotel, where women were raped,

:21:35. > :21:38.men tortured by Serb extremists, that too is now run by the party

:21:39. > :21:44.of Karadzic, which denies it was a place of mass atrocity.

:21:45. > :21:47.Miroslav Kojic is a senior party figure.

:21:48. > :21:49.Do you believe it is morally appropriate for your party,

:21:50. > :21:53.which governs in that area, to run a hotel where such horrific

:21:54. > :22:24.Most of the killers and rapists of Visegrad have so

:22:25. > :22:30.Only one paramilitary has been convicted of rape at Vilina Vlas.

:22:31. > :22:32.Across Bosnia, there are many thousands of rapes that have gone

:22:33. > :22:36.unprosecuted and, as Bosnia still struggles to rebuild after a war,
