on Russia to abandon its support for Syria's President Assad | :01:18. | :01:45. | |
in the wake of last week's chemical Tonight foreign ministers | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
from the G7 group of industrialised nations have been meeting | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
in Northern Italy to consider a coordinated response | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
which could include support for new sanctions on | :01:57. | :01:58. | |
Moscow and Damascus. The US Secretary of State, | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
Rex Tillerson, said America would hold to account those | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
who committed crimes against "innocents" | :02:05. | :02:06. | |
anywhere in the world. From Lucca, our Diplomatic | :02:07. | :02:07. | |
Correspondent James Robbins reports. Contemplating Italy's past glory and | :02:08. | :02:24. | |

Tillerson were entered on up the international heat on President | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
Assad and his Russian backers. This morning Rex Tillerson deliberately | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
started his day at a memorial to not the atrocity in 1944, the massacre | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
of local villagers, and drew a direct parallel to the gas attack | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
last week. We will rededicate ourselves to holding to account any | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
and all who commit crimes against the innocents anywhere in the world. | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
When I didn't Trump's Foreign Minister, who will speak to the | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
Russians this week, sat down with the Foreign Secretary who cancelled | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
his visit to Moscow to be here instead, they talked of ways to win | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
the widest possible international support against blood amid Britain's | :03:10. | :03:17. | |
present path. -- against Vladimir Putin's path. We will be discussing | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
the possibility of further sanctions on some of the Syrian military | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
figures and on some of the Russian military figures who have been | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
involved in coordinating the Syrian military efforts and of course you | :03:34. | :03:40. | |
are thereby contaminated by the appalling behaviour of the Assad | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
regime. The Russians are mocking you for not going to Moscow, Rex | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
Tillerson apparently was happy for you to go, why did the Prime | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
Minister asked you not to? It is very important in these | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
circumstances for the world to present a united front and for there | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
to be absolutely no ambiguity about the message and the message we are | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
sending to the Russians is very clear. Do they want to stick with a | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
toxic regime, do they want to be eternally associated with a guy who | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
gasses his own people? Or do they want to work with the Americans and | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
the rest of the G-7 and the like-minded countries for a new | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
future for Syria? That President Assad's major backers of Iran and | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
Russia, have warned of the military retaliation if President Trump | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
repeat the cruise missile strikes of last Friday ordered the Iranian | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
president, seen as a moderate, seems to contradict his own hard-liners | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
today, saying change in the Assad regime should go hand-in-hand with | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
fighting his opponents. TRANSLATION: Terrorism in Syria should be | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
eradicated and some reforms should be implemented within Syria are | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
within the regime. This evening G-7 ministers, all but one of them Nato | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
members as well, are starting to explore new pressures they could | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
apply, knowing full well that Russia has so far stuck firmly with | :05:06. | :05:07. | |
President Assad and his regime. Let's speak to James Robbins | :05:08. | :05:09. | |
who's at the talks in Support for new sanctions | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
has been discussed - They could take the form as the | :05:13. | :05:25. | |
Foreign Secretary was telling me of targeting individual Syrian and | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
Russian high-ranking officers, who are put to be collaborating most | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
closely on the campaign against civilians in Syria. Of course the | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
Russians deny any knowledge or indeed the fact that the Syrian | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
regime was behind last week's chemical gas attack. The Americans | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
believe differently. They have not accused the Russians of direct | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
complicity but have come post to it and they and the British think they | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
can identify a targeted list of people who should be named and | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
subject to all sort of asset freezes and travel bans and the advantage of | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
that is that many other countries are often reluctant to go down the | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
road a broad sanctions but might favour close the targeted ones. | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
Theresa May has been speaking to President Trump on the telephone | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
this evening and a Downing Street spokesman said the Prime Minister | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
and President agreed that a window of opportunity exists in which to | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
persuade Russia that its alliance with Assad is no longer in its | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
strategic interest. That is the hope and the message that Rex Tillerson | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
will be taking from here to Moscow as he leaves tomorrow. The problem | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
is that in the past President Putin has always shown himself absolutely | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
resistant and there is no sign yet he will buckle under this sort of | :06:43. | :06:44. | |
pressure. Thank you. The funeral of PC Keith Palmer, | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
who was killed in last month's Westminster attack, | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
has been held at London's Thousands of police officers | :06:51. | :06:52. | |
from all over the country lined the route of the funeral cortege | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
which set off from the PC Palmer, who was married | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
with a five-year-old daughter, was guarding the Houses | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
of Parliament when he was At the gates of the Palace | :07:03. | :07:04. | |
of Westminster, Police Constable Keith Palmer's coffin paused, | :07:05. | :07:14. | |
at the very spot where The place where, unarmed, | :07:15. | :07:16. | |
he moved towards a man brandishing two knives, | :07:17. | :07:25. | |
where he put himself in harm's way, to protect Parliament | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
to protect our democracy. Police officers from every force | :07:30. | :07:36. | |
in the country lined the route. Thousands of men and women | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
who did not know Keith Palmer, but know what it means | :07:42. | :07:43. | |
to wear the badge. You never really know what you're | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
going to face when you go out there. So it is with incredible | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
bravery that he did that. I think it brings home | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
what the job is about, It shows what a family we are, | :07:55. | :07:56. | |
really, that we all look out for one another and we all do the same thing | :07:57. | :08:03. | |
at the end of the day. The global police family came | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
together in London today, including officers from New York's Police | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
Department. We have had so much support | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
from officers around the country, around the United States, | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
as well as from other places in the world when we have had | :08:19. | :08:20. | |
officers die in the line of duty, so we have feel a need | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
to be supportive back. As the cortege headed | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
across the river, police officers paid tribute in the air, | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
on the water, and along the route. Two of PC Palmer's colleagues spoke | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
of the friend they so admired. If you could paint a picture | :08:34. | :08:41. | |
of a perfect policeman, you would be painting a picture | :08:42. | :08:43. | |
of Keith Palmer. He sounds like a pretty | :08:44. | :08:45. | |
extraordinary man. He was, he was so | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
down-to-earth and so normal. He came to work because he had | :08:49. | :08:50. | |
a family to support. He was a fantastic dad | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
and a fantastic husband. As the coffin passed | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
through the capital, London stopped what it was doing | :08:58. | :09:09. | |
to remember all those who lost their lives | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
on that appalling day, PC Palmer and the four men and women | :09:13. | :09:14. | |
killed on Westminster Bridge. PC Palmer symbolises the public | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
service and sacrifice that underpins our society, | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
the debt we owe to all those who put their lives on the line | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
defending our freedoms. But he was also a husband, | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
a father, a family man, and so today is about both national | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
reflection and private grief. PC Palmer's wife asked | :09:32. | :09:39. | |
that the family's privacy be respected inside Southwark | :09:40. | :09:41. | |
Cathedral. But the sound of the service | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
was relayed to the streets outside. Keith laid down his life | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
for each one of us here. Each one of you who have lined | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
the streets and filled In her first public engagement | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
in her new role, Metropolitan Police Commissioner Cressida Dick honoured | :09:59. | :10:06. | |
a fallen colleague. He was clearly very kind, | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
very good-hearted, very hard-working, a very, | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
very talented police officer. Police Constable Keith Palmer's | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
name has been added to His bravery will endure | :10:23. | :10:24. | |
for generations to come. The head of Barclays is expected | :10:25. | :10:32. | |
to be stripped of his million-pound annual bonus for attempting | :10:33. | :10:40. | |
to uncover the identity of a whistle-blower who'd raised | :10:41. | :10:42. | |
concerns about a senior member Jes Staley could lose | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
up to ?1.3 million. He's also been issued | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
with a formal reprimand, and is subject to an investigation | :10:49. | :10:50. | |
by the financial regulators. Here's our Economics | :10:51. | :10:52. | |
Editor Kamal Ahmed. When Jes Staley joined | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
Barclays in 2015, he had a straightforward message - | :10:58. | :10:59. | |
make the bank simpler The board and shareholders | :11:00. | :11:01. | |
were delighted when he appeared There was the third issue | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
he wanted the tackle, one he outlined to me | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
in his first broadcast interview. I do believe the banks | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
lost their way, ten or 15 years ago, and we lost a lot of trust | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
through the financial crisis. We have an obligation | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
to return that. That obligation was undermined today | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
after it was revealed the chief executive had tried, | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
not once but twice, to find out In June last year, the board | :11:30. | :11:31. | |
of Barclays received an anonymous letter raising concerns | :11:32. | :11:40. | |
about the recruitment of a senior employee by Mr Staley who had | :11:41. | :11:42. | |
suffered personal problems Jes Staley found out | :11:43. | :11:44. | |
about the letter, felt it was a malicious attack, | :11:45. | :11:53. | |
and asked Barclays' internal security to find | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
the whistle-blower's identity but was told his request | :11:57. | :11:58. | |
was not appropriate. The next month, after Barclays | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
investigated the allegations and said they were without | :12:03. | :12:04. | |
substance, Mr Staley tried again Barclays even approached US law | :12:05. | :12:06. | |
enforcement agencies to help. The Barclays board only became aware | :12:07. | :12:17. | |
of Jes Staley's attempted intervention when it received | :12:18. | :12:19. | |
a second whistle-blower It will now be for the | :12:20. | :12:21. | |
regulators to decide - is this a yellow card offence, | :12:22. | :12:28. | |
a warning for a stupid mistake or is it a straight red for a chief | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
executive whose very temperament In a statement, Mr Staley admitted | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
he had made mistakes. The regulators could go as far | :12:36. | :12:55. | |
as banning Mr Staley from working in banking - | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
its ultimate sanction - Whistle-blowing is about trust | :12:59. | :13:01. | |
and part of that trust is protecting the identity of the whistle-blower | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
and if you've got a senior person looking for the messenger rather | :13:08. | :13:09. | |
than listening to the message, He was very close to | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
the person he hired. The man hired to reset Barclays' | :13:13. | :13:21. | |
position on trust knows his bank is back in the headlines | :13:22. | :13:28. | |
for all the wrong reasons. A brief look at some of the day's | :13:29. | :13:30. | |
other other news stories. A drug called Prep, which | :13:31. | :13:40. | |
dramatically reduces the chances of being infected by HIV, is to be | :13:41. | :13:43. | |
offered as a preventative medicine It costs ?450 a month and isn't | :13:44. | :13:46. | |
currently offered by the NHS England because of concerns about the cost, | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
but medical trials are being A Londonderry teenager, | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
who was shot dead by the Army almost 45 years ago, | :13:56. | :14:02. | |
was totally innocent and did not pose a threat to anyone, | :14:03. | :14:04. | |
a coroner has said. 15-year-old Manus Deery was with | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
a group of friends when he was shot The fashion chain, Jaeger, | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
has gone into administration, The brand was founded in 1884 | :14:12. | :14:18. | |
and once dressed Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe but has struggled | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
on the increasingly competitive The business, which has 46 stores, | :14:25. | :14:26. | |
had failed to find a buyer. Police in Manchester say the number | :14:27. | :14:34. | |
of people abusing a drug called Spice has reached epidemic | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
proportions and it's putting They say they had to deal | :14:39. | :14:40. | |
with around 60 Spice-related incidents over the weekend and have | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
now launched extra patrols Slumped, zombie-like | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
and barely conscious. Another man metres away | :14:48. | :14:57. | |
with similar symptoms. And everyone we speak to on the | :14:58. | :15:05. | |
streets knows where to get it. Around the central area, | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
just round anywhere, really. Some in this drop-in centre | :15:09. | :15:10. | |
for homeless people say Just like chill but, like, | :15:11. | :15:16. | |
you're in space and then one minute you're taking it and the next | :15:17. | :15:25. | |
you get hooked and lose control. And others say the problem's | :15:26. | :15:31. | |
not going away. It's a lot worse now | :15:32. | :15:34. | |
than it was before, a lot worse. The reason why they're on this Spice | :15:35. | :15:37. | |
is because it is cheap. It is only ?5 bag, weed | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
is ?10 a bag, so they're all going for the Spice | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
because it's cheaper. The drug is a synthetic form | :15:44. | :15:45. | |
of cannabis but can be much more After being made illegal last year | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
it is now sold on the streets. Spice is a drug often associated | :15:50. | :15:56. | |
with people sleeping rough. But police tell me it affects people | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
of all ages all over the city The force says it received nearly 60 | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
Spice-related calls over the weekend There was a number of areas | :16:06. | :16:13. | |
round here such as Primark, the fast-food outlets | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
like Burger King, round here McDonald's, and Morrisons | :16:20. | :16:22. | |
where there were groups that had congregated and participated | :16:23. | :16:25. | |
in Spice and the reactions At the moment our attention | :16:26. | :16:27. | |
is being focused on the safeguarding Where actually we want to be doing | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
more work against the dealers, and that's where our focus will be | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
over the coming weeks. I spoke to one paramedic | :16:38. | :16:40. | |
who confirmed the symptoms People becoming very spaced out, | :16:41. | :16:51. | |
very odd behaviour, collapsing to the floor or being stuck in one | :16:52. | :16:57. | |
position. What we're seeing is someone's behaviour getting to such | :16:58. | :16:59. | |
a level that they are physically trying to attack our staff. | :17:00. | :17:12. | |
Here in Manchester, as another man collapsed, there's little sign that | :17:13. | :17:14. | |
this problem is going away. The BBC has uncovered more | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
allegations of abuse carried out by a leading barrister, | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
who ran Christian summer camps John Smyth is accused of a series | :17:23. | :17:24. | |
of brutal assaults on pupils The BBC has now been told that Smyth | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
also recruited one of his victims and asked him to administer further | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
beating to his friends. That pupil is now the head teacher | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
of a prep school in Buckinghamshire. This report from Fiona Lamdin | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
contains some graphic content. I think I was probably beaten | :17:43. | :17:48. | |
about 3,000 times by John Smyth It was only when he actually hit me | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
that I suddenly realised 22 young men, brainwashed and then | :17:54. | :18:03. | |
beaten, in what victims now describe John Smyth, a leading QC, | :18:04. | :18:16. | |
infiltrated Britain's oldest public school, | :18:17. | :18:22. | |
persuading teenage boys that his violent beatings | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
could purge them of their sins. I'm John Smyth, and the director | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
of Jasa, as we call Andy Morse was only 14, | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
a pupil at Winchester College Less than two years later | :18:34. | :18:42. | |
he was accepting regular and violent So John Smyth had every single | :18:43. | :18:49. | |
bandage, dressing, iodine, anything that had been invented, | :18:50. | :18:59. | |
but even though he had all that equipment and I | :19:00. | :19:02. | |
call it paraphernalia, Even with these dressings on, | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
wearing these adult nappies, As the years went by, | :19:09. | :19:15. | |
these schoolboys became young men and moved on to university | :19:16. | :19:24. | |
but the beatings continued. Now too physical for one man | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
on his own, Smyth needed to recruit a right-hand man | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
from within the group. He asked Simon Doggart, | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
one of his victims, to start One of their victims did not | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
want to speak on camera but told John Smyth beat me first, | :19:39. | :19:44. | |
appallingly with his usual force, then Simon Doggart took over | :19:45. | :19:50. | |
while John watched. I recall immediately the absolute | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
brutality of his beating, far, There was no discussion, | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
no emotion that I recall, just a fit sportsman | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
using all his force. The BBC has been handed nine hours | :20:03. | :20:05. | |
of recordings left unheard for 20 years which reveal the full extent | :20:06. | :20:12. | |
of the abuse. On one occasion, a victim | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
was subjected to 800 lashes The victims were left disfigured | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
with blood running down their legs. I can't really remember | :20:22. | :20:30. | |
but it went on all day. A decade after the beatings | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
finished, three of the victims In the afternoon, I was allowed | :20:35. | :20:37. | |
a sort of sleep, then John Smyth beat me for maybe 50 | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
strokes and then he would be exhausted and at that point | :20:43. | :20:57. | |
Simon Doggart beat me for I don't Andy remembers every | :20:58. | :21:05. | |
last detail of the shed. The strokes he gave me | :21:06. | :21:12. | |
were probably the equivalent I think even then I sensed that it | :21:13. | :21:18. | |
wasn't my friend beating me, that it was actually John Smyth | :21:19. | :21:28. | |
beating me using my friend Simon Doggart is the headmaster | :21:29. | :21:34. | |
of Caldicott Prep School in Buckinghamshire where he has been | :21:35. | :21:44. | |
in charge for nearly 20 years. He has told us he is now critically | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
ill and is unable to respond. There is no suggestion he has ever | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
harmed any of his pupils. But Simon DOggart was not the only | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
one John Smyth tried to recruit. He tried to persuade me | :21:59. | :22:01. | |
to beat other people. You know, I told him | :22:02. | :22:07. | |
I couldn't do that. He was asking lots of people | :22:08. | :22:10. | |
to beat other people. He said, Andy, this is, you know, | :22:11. | :22:13. | |
this is talking about steps, about going from 30 beatings to 50 | :22:14. | :22:20. | |
beatings to 100. The next step is, you need | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
to start beating people. They had two canes and when John | :22:25. | :22:31. | |
was getting tired he motioned for Simon to come in and Simon came | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
in on the side sort Tonight, police tell us | :22:37. | :22:39. | |
they are investigating but John Smyth is still a free man | :22:40. | :22:45. | |
living in South Africa and Simon Doggart a headmaster now | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
critically ill, yet to give Fiona Lamdin with that report | :22:50. | :22:53. | |
on allegations of abuse in the 1980s Police in California say a teacher | :22:54. | :23:11. | |
has been killed and two children wounded during a shooting in a | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
primary school classroom. The gunman is also dead. Police in the city of | :23:16. | :23:23. | |
San Bernardino say the teacher was known to the gunman. | :23:24. | :23:30. | |
They added that two students had also been injured, | :23:31. | :23:32. | |
but they didn't think they'd been targeted by the shooter. | :23:33. | :23:35. | |
The American carrier, United Airlines, has | :23:36. | :23:36. | |
been heavily criticised, after one of its passengers | :23:37. | :23:38. | |
The airline had overbooked the plane, and when no-one | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
volunteered to leave, they selected the man and his | :23:43. | :23:44. | |
When he refused to get off the flight, he was dragged down | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
the aisle by security guards, as our correspondent | :23:49. | :23:51. | |
These are the disturbing moments that have now travelled around the | :23:52. | :24:02. | |
world. Several smartphones record as three police hover over a man, | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
forced to exit the aircraft. The situation quickly escalates, after | :24:08. | :24:10. | |
one officer man handles him out of his chair. Oh, my God. All three | :24:11. | :24:24. | |
officers then drag him bloodied and injured from the cabin. No, this is | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
wrong. Oh, my God. Look at what you did to him. | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
The incident began when United Airlines asked for volunteers to | :24:34. | :24:36. | |
give up their seats for additional crew members. When none were found, | :24:37. | :24:42. | |
they chose passengers at random, but this man refused. One passenger said | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
he claimed to be a Doctor Who had patients he needed to see. Good | :24:47. | :24:53. | |
work, way to go. Ten minutes later, in unexplained circumstances, the | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
man shaken, runs back on the plane. United Airlines in a statement, | :24:57. | :24:58. | |
said: That's what makes the world's | :24:59. | :25:16. | |
leading airline. The airline has been criticised for its handling of | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
the situation that some say clearly contrasts with its claim to fly the | :25:21. | :25:21. | |
friendly skies. The oil company Shell has today | :25:22. | :25:27. | |
admitted that they dealt with a convicted money-launderer, | :25:28. | :25:29. | |
when negotiating access to a vast oil field off | :25:30. | :25:31. | |
the coast of Nigeria in 2011. Shell went ahead with the deal | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
even though they were on probation, after being involved in a separate | :25:36. | :25:38. | |
corruption case in Nigeria. Our business editor, | :25:39. | :25:41. | |
Simon Jack, has this report. Nine billion barrels of oil the | :25:42. | :25:53. | |
prize for the company who could secure the rights to a lucrative | :25:54. | :25:57. | |
field, but doing deals in Nigeria is one of the toughest challenges in | :25:58. | :26:00. | |
the oil business. The building behind me is Shell's UK | :26:01. | :26:04. | |
headquarters. It's the most valuable company on the London Stock | :26:05. | :26:07. | |
Exchange. If you have a pension, you almost certainly own some shares in | :26:08. | :26:11. | |
Shell. They've been operating in Nigeria for nearly 60 years, so they | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
have the size and the expertise to meet that challenge. In the way was | :26:16. | :26:22. | |
this man, who acquired the field while he was oil minister. For the | :26:23. | :26:26. | |
first time tonight, Shell acknowledges they did engage with | :26:27. | :26:33. | |
him to do the deal. Shell and the Italian oil company acquired the | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
field in 2011, paying 1. $1.3 billion to the Nigerian government. | :26:39. | :26:44. | |
More than 1 billion of it was passed to another company, controlled by | :26:45. | :26:48. | |
Atete. From there, according to documents filed by Italian | :26:49. | :26:52. | |
prosecutors nearly half was forwarded to the then president and | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
members of his government. Shell have always said they only paid the | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
Nigerian government. Today Shell has changed its tune and they're now | :27:02. | :27:06. | |
saying that they engaged with Danatete, a former oil minister and | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
convicted money lawneder. What prompted Shell to change its | :27:12. | :27:21. | |
position? E-mails uncovered and found show Shell representatives | :27:22. | :27:26. | |
negotiating with Mr Atete a year before the deal was finalised. He | :27:27. | :27:31. | |
can smell the money, if at nearly 70 years old he does turn his nose up | :27:32. | :27:35. | |
at 1. 2 billion he is completely certificate fiebl. That e-mail was | :27:36. | :27:41. | |
forwarded to the chief executive, showing this went right to the top. | :27:42. | :27:51. | |
Other I mails showed millions would be paid to the president, in an | :27:52. | :28:05. | |
e-mail from July, the strategy was: a spokesperson for Goodluck Jonathan | :28:06. | :28:09. | |
described this as a false narrative. This deal was done just months after | :28:10. | :28:17. | |
Shell had paid $30 million to the US Department of Justice to settle | :28:18. | :28:21. | |
previous allegations of bribery on condition of future good behaviour. | :28:22. | :28:25. | |
Shell having been investigated over a previous deal you would think they | :28:26. | :28:28. | |
would be cautious. Instead of walking away from a deal that was | :28:29. | :28:33. | |
clearly problematic from a corruption, potentially bribery | :28:34. | :28:36. | |
stand point, they drubbed down and attempted to sanitise the deal. | :28:37. | :28:40. | |
Shell's partners said there was no credible evidence that any of its | :28:41. | :28:43. | |
staff were involved in wrongdoing. Shell still maintain the deal with | :28:44. | :28:47. | |
the Nigerian government was legal and that any political payoffs were | :28:48. | :28:51. | |
done without their knowledge. But today marks an important concession | :28:52. | :28:55. | |
in a huge deal mired in controversy for years. | :28:56. | :29:00. | |
It's taken him 18 years, but Spain's Sergio Garcia has | :29:01. | :29:02. | |
finally won his first major golfing title. | :29:03. | :29:05. | |
He beat England's Justin Rose in a sudden death play-off | :29:06. | :29:09. | |
Garcia triumphed on what would have been the 60th birthday | :29:10. | :29:14. | |
of his fellow countryman - and golfing hero - Seve Ballesteros. | :29:15. | :29:17. | |
Our sports correspondent Katie Gornall has the story - | :29:18. | :29:19. | |
After two decades of near misses and failed attempts, | :29:20. | :29:26. | |
Well done Sergio, you've done it at last! | :29:27. | :29:32. | |
A few years ago, Sergio Garcia claimed he wasn't good | :29:33. | :29:35. | |
I felt today, I felt the calmest I've ever felt on a Major Sunday. | :29:36. | :29:50. | |
And even after making a couple of bogeys, | :29:51. | :29:53. | |
I was still very positive, I still believed that there | :29:54. | :29:57. | |
were a lot of holes that I could get to and I hit some really good shots | :29:58. | :30:02. | |
It had been one of great duels in Masters golf - | :30:03. | :30:08. | |
a two-horse race between Garcia and his friend and Ryder Cup | :30:09. | :30:11. | |
After 13 holes, Garcia was two shots behind. | :30:12. | :30:17. | |
Would he again buckle under the pressure? | :30:18. | :30:20. | |
This was when the doubters became believers. | :30:21. | :30:23. | |
Garcia's finesse on the 15th brought him level and kick-started | :30:24. | :30:28. | |
The tension would become overwhelming and with nothing | :30:29. | :30:35. | |
to separate them after 18 holes, the match went to a | :30:36. | :30:38. | |
Three shots later, Garcia conquered his opponent and his demons. | :30:39. | :30:48. | |
I'm really happy for Sergio, obviously I would love to be | :30:49. | :30:53. | |
wearing the green jacket, but if it wasn't me, | :30:54. | :30:56. | |
As a teenager, Garcia was the best amateur at the 99 Masters. | :30:57. | :31:01. | |
But as the years rolled by, he became known as one of best | :31:02. | :31:06. | |
He had grown up wanting to be like his idol, | :31:07. | :31:12. | |
Seve Ballesteros, a two-time winner of the Masters green jacket. | :31:13. | :31:15. | |
Garcia's breakthrough came on what would have been | :31:16. | :31:18. | |
Ballesteros's 60th birthday - a day when talent and fate came | :31:19. | :31:22. | |
