On a visit to Japan, Theresa May said there was no truth | :00:08. | :00:13. | |

The Prime Minister - who is visiting Japan - | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
told the BBC that there was 'absolutely no basis whatsoever' | :01:45. | :01:46. | |
to reports that she would stand down in two years' time. | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
She said she was here for the long term. | :01:51. | :01:52. | |
She was speaking to the BBC at the start of a three | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
day visit to Japan - during which she is hoping to ease | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
concerns about Brexit and prepare the way for a trade agreement. | :02:00. | :02:01. | |
From there our political correspondent Ben Wright reports. | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
Edi, abedy, Abedi, This report contains some flash photography. | :02:08. | :02:15. | |
It's Theresa May's first visit to Japan as Prime Minister. | :02:16. | :02:17. | |
She doesn't plan on it being her last. | :02:18. | :02:19. | |
Wearing the colours of the country's flag, this visit is a reminder that | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
Brexit is not just about fractious talks in Brussels. | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
It's about reassuring long-standing allies and investors beyond the EU. | :02:28. | :02:29. | |
But Theresa May also revealed her ambition here, and had | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
Is it your intention to lead the Tory party | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
What me and my government are about is not just | :02:41. | :02:50. | |
We are delivering a brighter future for the United Kingdom. | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
It is the first time Theresa May has been so blunt about her plans to | :02:57. | :03:03. | |
fight the next election and her Foreign Secretary today seemed | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
enthused at the prospect. I'm giving my back tooing Theresa May. We need | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
to get Brexit done. She is ideally placed to deliver a great outcome | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
for our country. By the next general election, Britain will be out of the | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
EU, the question is on what terms and the Japan's Prime Minister wants | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
to know more about the UK Government strategy. Over three decades more | :03:30. | :03:37. | |
than a thousand Japanese firms have established in Britain. Not just the | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
big three car makers, but manufacturers and banks. Both ways, | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
it is a relationship that matters. But some of Japan's banks are | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
worried their access to EU markets could suffer. Some financial | :03:52. | :03:58. | |
institutions have announced that they prefer moving certain number of | :03:59. | :04:05. | |
operations from London to Europe, to retain the single passport within | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
the EU. Do you still think that no deal is better than a bad deal and | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
we could would being away? Yes I think that is right. If you talk | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
about the point at which we leave the EU, we want to ensure that we do | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
have a deal and we have a deal that is the right deal for the United | :04:25. | :04:32. | |
Kingdom. After about eight hours in Theresa May is moving to Tokyo, | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
where discussions about trade will dominate the talks. But she has | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
tried to settle for good the question about her leadership that | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
has dogged her since the general election. But the question is | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
whether her MPs and her party back in the UK accept that she can stick | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
this out for the long-term zmrchlt. Our political correspondent, | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
Eleanor Garnier, is in Westminster. What will the reaction be here? It | :04:59. | :05:05. | |
is a contrast to the Theresa May of two and a half months ago, remember, | :05:06. | :05:14. | |
red-faced, she was apologising to Tory MPs, saying she would stay on | :05:15. | :05:21. | |
as long as they wanted to. Now she says she wants to take the party | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
into the general election. In the short-term there is no appetite | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
among Conservative MPs for a leadership contest. So these | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
comments won't unsettle the party. But in the long-term few see Theresa | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
May taking the party into the next general election. And many say it is | :05:43. | :05:49. | |
not if she goes, but when. And some say by revealing her ambition to | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
stay on, she has put herself in direct conflict with the party. With | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
Brexit negotiations going on, she won't want this distraction of | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
leadership talk, but if back benchers decide her time is up, the | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
truth is, there is little she can do. | :06:09. | :06:10. | |
Let's speak to our Europe correspondent, Damian | :06:11. | :06:12. | |
There have been some sticking points to deal with? Yes there are some | :06:13. | :06:23. | |
real difficulties with the Brexit talks that boil down to a difference | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
of opinion about how the talks work and who is in charge. The UK side we | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
know feel frustrated that the EU will not move on to trade talks and | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
in some areas feel that the EU won't engage in the give and take of | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
normal negotiations. Michel Barnier said the UK has to put its positions | :06:45. | :06:51. | |
down and be clear. There were the papers the UK produced. The EU say | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
many lack detail and on money there is not one. And Theresa May hold | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
back on money to force it back on to trade talks. But it is not the UK | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
that control it. The other EU countries would have to agree to a | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
change and the more time spent talking about the structure of | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
things, the less time to get that bespoke deal that the Prime Minister | :07:19. | :07:19. | |
wants. Thank you. President Trump says that | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
"talking is not the answer" It comes after Pyongyang said | :07:25. | :07:26. | |
yesterday's missile test over Japan was "the first step" of military | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
operations in the Pacific. But later the American Defence | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
Secretary, James Mattis, insisted there is still room | :07:34. | :07:35. | |
for diplomacy in dealing with From Tokyo, Rupert | :07:36. | :07:37. | |

of North Korea's latest and most As expected, Kim Jong-un was on hand | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
to give his personal guidance. The North Korean dictator gazes | :07:51. | :07:58. | |
skywards as the missile And along with the pictures | :07:59. | :08:00. | |
came this statement "The current ballistic rocket drill | :08:01. | :08:06. | |

and a meaningful prelude North Korea's statement shows | :08:14. | :08:15. | |
the ultimate target of yesterday's test was not here in Japan, | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
but the US Pacific island of Guam, with its huge military bases, | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
and that North Korea intends Last night in New York, | :08:25. | :08:26. | |
the UN Security Council members, including China, were unanimous | :08:27. | :08:37. | |
in condemning North Korea. But today, the cracks have | :08:38. | :08:39. | |
already begun to appear. From President Trump came | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
this tweet, ruling out "The US has been talking | :08:44. | :08:45. | |
to North Korea and paying them extortion money for 25 | :08:46. | :08:52. | |
years," he exclaimed. Here in Japan, Prime Minister | :08:53. | :08:53. | |
Theresa May said China We want to work with international | :08:54. | :09:02. | |
partners to see what further pressure can be brought on North | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
Korea. And of course particularly look | :09:09. | :09:10. | |
at what China can do. In Beijing, China's Foreign Ministry | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
spokeswoman had this TRANSLATION: Some countries dash | :09:14. | :09:15. | |
forward when it comes to imposing sanctions, | :09:16. | :09:24. | |
but hide away when it comes This is not the attitude | :09:25. | :09:26. | |
of a responsible nation. There is growing suspicion that | :09:27. | :09:36. | |
North Korea could not have developed There is also agreement | :09:37. | :09:38. | |
that it must be stopped. The US, Britain and | :09:39. | :09:48. | |
Japan, more sanctions. Meanwhile, North Korea | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
is almost certainly Rupert Wingfield Hayes, | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
BBC News, in Tokyo. The Governor of Texas says | :09:58. | :10:09. | |
the worst is not yet over for some parts of the State, | :10:10. | :10:11. | |
as torrential rain continues to fall in the wake | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
of Tropical storm Harvey. The flooding has forced a number | :10:15. | :10:16. | |
of oil and gas pipelines and refineries to shut down, | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
affecting almost a quarter At least 20 people | :10:20. | :10:21. | |
are known to have died. The storm has now moved | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
on to neighbouring Louisiana. When Harvey hit landfall on Friday, | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
it was already a powerful Category 4 hurricane, | :10:29. | :10:30. | |
which was expected But high pressure was already | :10:31. | :10:32. | |
sitting over America and that's what has made a bad storm | :10:33. | :10:39. | |
a lot worse. Instead of moving inland | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
and weakening, as expected, Harvey became trapped over Texas | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
for several days. That meant that the tropical storm | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
was able to suck up more and more warm ocean water from the Gulf | :10:49. | :10:55. | |
of Mexico and then dumped it, This is what Hurricane | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
Harvey did to Houston. Believe it or not, the water has | :10:59. | :11:05. | |
gone down and still swathes Lives have been lost, | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
homes have been ruined From the air, we spotted this | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
couple, desperate for help. What's happening now is that | :11:13. | :11:20. | |
we've seen these people in the water down below, | :11:21. | :11:22. | |
they're clearly in need of help. There's a boat, just a few blocks | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
away, but it can't get to them. It can't see them, so we're | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
going to use the helicopter Slowly, carefully, we help | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
them find one another. A helicopter directing a boat | :11:33. | :11:39. | |
along a leafy street, Just seconds later we spotted this, | :11:40. | :11:41. | |
fire and flood and no way This was a five minute slice | :11:42. | :11:49. | |
of the drama which has been unfolding in the skies over | :11:50. | :11:57. | |
Houston for days. And not just Houston, | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
this is Port Arthur in neighbouring Louisiana where Harvey | :12:03. | :12:04. | |
has hit again. The hurricane may have been | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
downgraded to a tropical storm, With 40 inches of rain here, | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
they're taking what they can Back in down town Houston, still | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
dazed, but at least they're dry. The people of this city | :12:16. | :12:25. | |
do now have a chance to take stock and they know | :12:26. | :12:27. | |
there are struggles ahead. Rodman Young is now homeless | :12:28. | :12:34. | |
in his own city after his house was flooded when two | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
reservoirs spilled over. It is sad and you feel a little bit | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
hopeless because you're losing all your stuff and they only gave | :12:42. | :12:51. | |
us, from the point we woke up, a couple of hours sleep | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
and we were fighting the waters As it moves across the southern | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
United States the wake of this storm is widening | :12:58. | :13:19. | |
and so is the damage. The bleak legacy of Hurricane Harvey | :13:20. | :13:21. | |
will be felt for years to come. Our correspondent, Nada Tawfik, is | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
at an emergency shelter in Houston. So many people have been left | :13:25. | :13:35. | |
homeless and no sign of an end to it? Yes absolutely. When I spoke | :13:36. | :13:42. | |
with the mayor earlier, he said that now that Houston is drying up, one | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
priority will be to re-house the thousands that are here inside the | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
city has tried as best a as they could to anticipate people's needs. | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
They have handed out meals, toiletries, even a psychiatrist is | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
on hand to help people. But still there is no end in sight. And one of | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
the things that people are the most concerned about of course is how to | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
rebuild their homes with no flood insurance. Federal aid will be key. | :14:10. | :14:17. | |
One mother here told me that without this shelter she would be on the | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
street and may have to go to another shelter after this. But still | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
they're lucky to have their lives still. As the waters have gone down | :14:25. | :14:33. | |
we have seen the death toll rise. The County officer said Hester if | :14:34. | :14:44. | |
Ied to see -- terrified to how it will go up. | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
From next year, Britain is halving the amount of money it gives | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
in humanitarian aid to Nigeria saying the country must do more | :14:51. | :14:52. | |
Speaking on a visit to the affected areas, the International | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
Development Secretary, Priti Patel, said other countries | :14:57. | :14:58. | |
needed to share the burden of funding and providing | :14:59. | :15:00. | |
British soldiers are not themselves fighting Boko Haram, but they are | :15:01. | :15:12. | |
training Nigerian forces to be far more effective against them. The | :15:13. | :15:18. | |
Nigerian army has had some successes retaking territory in the | :15:19. | :15:21. | |
north-east, but the government is widely blamed for claiming some sort | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
of victory when vie lance still rages. In this city these are some | :15:26. | :15:31. | |
of the victims of Boko Haram being cared for by the International Red | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
Cross. We were asked not to use her name, but this woman was badly | :15:37. | :15:39. | |
injured, one of her children was killed. -- violence. Two suicide | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
bombers, she told me, both teenage girls, blew themselves up close to | :15:46. | :15:52. | |
our home. Listening to the stories, many of them Harrowing stories from | :15:53. | :15:55. | |
these patients, underscores one of the grimmest features of this | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
conflict, increasing reliance of Boko Haram on children as suicide | :16:00. | :16:06. | |
bombers. Estimates vary but the United Nations believe 80 children | :16:07. | :16:10. | |
have been used as suicide bombers in this region alone. Starvation is one | :16:11. | :16:16. | |
consequence as people flee their homes and farms. Over 400,000 | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
children have severe acute malnutrition. Britain is helping | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
about a quarter of them. Today, Boris Johnson and Priti Patel met | :16:26. | :16:31. | |
one recovering child, but the Can development Secretary says | :16:32. | :16:34. | |
Britain must reduce its humanitarian aid next year, others should do | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
more. My job isn't just to give aid and to give money. My job is to make | :16:39. | :16:43. | |
make sure the aid goes further and that we leverage with the Nigerian | :16:44. | :16:46. | |
government to get them to step up and do more. Nigerian soldiers relax | :16:47. | :16:52. | |
at the end of another arduous day of British training, but their country | :16:53. | :16:55. | |
has nothing to celebrate, the war against Boko Haram is very far from | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
over. James Robbins, BBC News, Nigeria. | :17:01. | :17:08. | |
Scottish Labour is about to get its fourth leader in four years | :17:09. | :17:10. | |
after Kezia Dugdale resigned with immediate effect. | :17:11. | :17:12. | |
Ms Dugdale said the party had been revitalised during her two years | :17:13. | :17:15. | |
in charge and that it was time for a new leader with "fresh energy, | :17:16. | :17:18. | |
She's been speaking to BBC Scotland's political | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
No, this is for real, Scottish Labour has | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
Kezia Dugdale can be ferocious with opponents. | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
I was told I had the toughest job in Scottish politics. | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
I'd like to think I've made it a bit easier for the next person. | :17:36. | :17:38. | |
But she also has form for criticising Jeremy Corbyn. | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
In June last year, highlighting opposition from Labour MPs. | :17:43. | :17:48. | |
If I had just lost 80% of my parliamentary colleagues, | :17:49. | :17:50. | |
I simply could not do my job, and I think it's now | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
extremely difficult for Jeremy Corbyn to continue. | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
Times change, Kezia Dugdale now backs Mr Corbyn, | :17:58. | :18:00. | |
loyally supporting his Scottish tour last week. | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
Still, the left never quite forgave her, arguing that | :18:06. | :18:08. | |
Scottish Labour needed to embrace the full Corbyn programme. | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
But, she told me, she was definitely not bowing to pressure. | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
What I'm trying to do is something that politicians rarely do, | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
which is to leave with my head held high, without any sort of crisis. | :18:21. | :18:23. | |
Are you going before you were pushed? | :18:24. | :18:25. | |
Reasons for going - she faced an intense spell as leader, | :18:26. | :18:31. | |
She takes credit for helping rescue Scottish Labour from oblivion. | :18:32. | :18:37. | |
Plus personal factors, the break up of a longstanding relationship, | :18:38. | :18:39. | |
We're opponents, but I've always admired the guts | :18:40. | :18:47. | |
and the determination that she's brought to that task, | :18:48. | :18:49. | |
Kezia Dugdale's deputy, Alex Rowley, will act as interim leader, | :18:50. | :18:57. | |
Neil Findlay, Jeremy Corbyn's number one fan in Scotland, | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
The left might favour Richard Leonard, an MSP | :19:02. | :19:08. | |
Many also point to Anas Sarwar, who's performed well | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
So was there an orchestrated coup to oust Kezia Dugdale? | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
But was there continuing disquiet among parts of the left | :19:20. | :19:25. | |
Yes, there was, and that was a factor in her | :19:26. | :19:29. | |

they're good at them, they've had plenty of | :19:33. | :19:34. | |

investigator told us the authorities here believe he played a key role in | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
the attack. TRANSLATION: All the signs point to | :20:27. | :20:29. | |
Hashem being directly involved, assisting his brother and collecting | :20:30. | :20:32. | |
the materials for the suicide bombing, which took a lot of | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
innocent lives in Manchester. Do you expect to see Hashem Abedi on trial | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
here this year? Of course, all the investigations will be completed in | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
two months at the most. Anything needed from the general prosecutor | :20:47. | :20:49. | |
or the police will be ready for the court. The authorities here have | :20:50. | :20:56. | |
detained another relative of the Abedi brothers, Mohammeddown news | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
Abedi in connection with the attack. They say his credit card was used to | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
by ingredient for the bomb and they have given British police a list of | :21:05. | :21:07. | |
others in the UK who should be questioned. | :21:08. | :21:13. | |
TRANSLATION: These people should be questioned to get more information | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
about the suspects. Their movements. Their ideologies. If there were any | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
sign they were going to carry out the attack. They are not necessarily | :21:22. | :21:24. | |
suspects themselves, but it's important to get information from | :21:25. | :21:30. | |
them. But Libyan investigators have now finished with Ramadan Abedi, the | :21:31. | :21:37. | |
father of Hashem and Salman. We went to his home on the outskirts of | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
Tripoli. He's already back here with his family, but we were told he was | :21:42. | :21:47. | |
tired and did not want to comment. Well, we have tried to speak to | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
Ramadan Abedi, but he's been unwilling to see us. The authorities | :21:53. | :21:55. | |
have told us they have no reason to hold him any longer in this case. He | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
is now a free man, but not free to leave the country. They want him to | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
remain in Libya in case they have any further questions, and he'll | :22:06. | :22:08. | |
have to check in with police from time to time. A relative told us | :22:09. | :22:14. | |
Ramadan Abedi was shocked at what his son Salman had done. No father | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
wants his child to be a suicide bomber, he said. He told us the | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
family was now happy at the release of an innocent man. Orla Guerin, BBC | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
News, Tripoli. The boss of the oil giant Shell, | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
the biggest company in Britain, has questioned whether the Government's | :22:33. | :22:35. | |
plan for greater transparency Ministers want companies to force | :22:36. | :22:37. | |
the UK's biggest firms to reveal how much more their chief executives | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
are paid compared to But Shell's Ben van Beurden, | :22:42. | :22:43. | |
who earned ?7.5 million last year, argues that the Government's | :22:44. | :22:50. | |
proposal is flawed. Our business editor, Simon Jack, | :22:51. | :23:04. | |
reports from Rotterdam. Big business, how do you stop too | :23:05. | :23:06. | |
much money flowing to the top? The Government has a plan, | :23:07. | :23:09. | |
but does it make sense? This is Shell's Rotterdam refinery, | :23:10. | :23:12. | |
it has customers and employees It's the most valuable company | :23:13. | :23:14. | |
on the London Stock Exchange and pays more dividends to UK | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
pension funds than That's the old refinery, | :23:19. | :23:20. | |
but also a lot of the new stuff... Ben van Beurden is | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
Shell's Chief Executive. The UK Government's flagship | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
proposal to curb pay is to force companies to publish how many times | :23:30. | :23:32. | |
more the boss gets paid It's a matter of public record, | :23:33. | :23:34. | |
you got paid ?7.5 million last year, that was a 60% increase | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
from the previous year, and could you tell me | :23:40. | :23:41. | |
what the multiple is of your pay Well, no, I don't have | :23:42. | :23:44. | |
that number to hand, not because I, you know, | :23:45. | :23:57. | |
I wouldn't care about it or I would forget about it | :23:58. | :23:59. | |
or whatever, it's - The average one in the United States | :24:00. | :24:01. | |
or globally or do we include the people who work on our | :24:02. | :24:07. | |
forecourts or not, etc? So this is going to be a very | :24:08. | :24:10. | |
complicated definition piece. The Government's clear, | :24:11. | :24:12. | |
it should be average UK pay, an incentive to push up pay here, | :24:13. | :24:15. | |
but does it make sense for a company It sounds to me that the natural | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
conclusion, from what you've said, is that your position | :24:20. | :24:30. | |
with Government saying - look, measures like this don't work | :24:31. | :24:31. | |
for companies like ours? Sometimes we say, well, | :24:32. | :24:34. | |
why don't you do this or why don't you look at this particular way | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
of strengthening etc? So conversation doesn't mean | :24:39. | :24:40. | |
push back, push back, push back, it means finding | :24:41. | :24:42. | |
constructive ways forward. Shell is not alone, of course, | :24:43. | :24:48. | |
the premier league of UK business is stuffed full of multinationals, | :24:49. | :24:51. | |
who will also feel this Government attempt to put a lid | :24:52. | :24:53. | |
on pay just doesn't fit. The Himba, famous for the red ochre | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
in their hair and skin, are one For centuries they pursued | :24:57. | :25:03. | |
a semi-nomadic life, living off the land in a remote part | :25:04. | :25:10. | |
of northern Namibia. Having survived mass killings | :25:11. | :25:12. | |
by German troops in the early 1900s, they've managed to retain | :25:13. | :25:15. | |
their traditional lifestyles. But they now face a bigger threat, | :25:16. | :25:18. | |
encroaching modernisation. Pumza Fihlani has travelled | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
to a Himba village for the second The start of a busy morning | :25:24. | :25:26. | |
for the women of this Himba village This indigenous community has lived | :25:27. | :25:35. | |
off the land for generations, But since Namibia's | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
independence in the early '90s, a different lifestyle has begun | :25:41. | :25:49. | |
to filter through. They prepare the hairs | :25:50. | :25:56. | |
after four or three months, when they see that the hair | :25:57. | :25:58. | |
is getting old. Owen is a Himba man | :25:59. | :26:01. | |
who grew up in the village. He's taking me back | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
to Omaruru to show me When these children get | :26:06. | :26:07. | |
into the school, most of the children they feel shame | :26:08. | :26:13. | |
and they think other children That they're not | :26:14. | :26:16. | |
looking so beautiful. I've been also asking some | :26:17. | :26:26. | |
of the Himba children, "Why you don't youdress the same, | :26:27. | :26:28. | |
your own traditional?" But the irony that he's in western | :26:29. | :26:30. | |
clothing is not lost on him. Now running his own business, | :26:31. | :26:36. | |
Owen feels he needs He's a sign of success, | :26:37. | :26:38. | |
a poster boy of what's possible. A lot of boys they leave the village | :26:39. | :26:45. | |
and go down into the town to try to find a job, | :26:46. | :26:53. | |
and some of the boys they find jobs, and some of the boys | :26:54. | :26:57. | |
they don't find jobs. Then some of them they | :26:58. | :27:02. | |
decide to take alcohol. For those taking the leap, | :27:03. | :27:05. | |
the closest town is an hour's drive But this integration comes | :27:06. | :27:14. | |
at a cost, the Himba are often We're told this type of behaviour | :27:15. | :27:20. | |
is a common occurrence. As the head of the village, | :27:21. | :27:37. | |
you'd expect him to be fighting to hold on to the past, | :27:38. | :27:41. | |
but instead he's preparing his children for a life outside | :27:42. | :27:44. | |
of the village walls by sending But one of the chief's wives | :27:45. | :27:47. | |
is worried that her people Still, some want a taste | :27:48. | :28:09. | |
of this new world. One of the most popular places | :28:10. | :28:30. | |
for the Himba is this spa. Here, they come to shed | :28:31. | :28:32. | |
the responsibility In this world, it's | :28:33. | :28:34. | |
everyone for themselves. Caught between the allure | :28:35. | :28:39. | |
of modern life and a desire to save his traditional culture, | :28:40. | :28:42. | |
people like Owen are left I'd prefer to die before | :28:43. | :28:47. | |
the tradition of my I've seen quite enough for the 15, | :28:48. | :28:54. | |
20 previous years, when it changed step-by-step, | :28:55. | :29:01. | |
but today I'm sure it is The people unprepared | :29:02. | :29:03. | |
for an uncertain future. Tomorrow will mark the 20th | :29:04. | :29:22. | |
anniversary of the death Today, Princes William and Harry | :29:23. | :29:27. | |
visited a memorial garden that's been created at Kensington Palace | :29:28. | :29:43. | |
in memory of their mother. The White Garden is dedicated | :29:44. | :29:46. | |
to Princess Diana's life and work. Our Royal correspondent, | :29:47. | :29:48. | |
Nicholas Witchell, reports. The flowers and the tributes | :29:49. | :29:49. | |
are back at the gates A very small echo of how | :29:50. | :29:52. | |
it was 20 years ago, but a reminder of feelings | :29:53. | :29:55. | |
which the years have not erased. And this afternoon, William | :29:56. | :29:59. | |
and Harry came to view the tributes. They took their time, | :30:00. | :30:02. | |
they looked, and they read. And they laughed at some | :30:03. | :30:08. | |
of the photographs showing them It was impossible not | :30:09. | :30:10. | |
to be reminded of how it was 20 years ago when, | :30:11. | :30:16. | |
aged 15 and 12, on their return to London, they'd come out, | :30:17. | :30:20. | |
still numb and bewildered, to meet the people who'd gathered | :30:21. | :30:22. | |
there and to see for themselves the many thousands of bouquets | :30:23. | :30:25. | |
which had been left. Diana's boys are both | :30:26. | :30:31. | |
in their 30s now. William's settled and about to begin | :30:32. | :30:34. | |
full-time Royal duty. He was accompanied by Catherine | :30:35. | :30:36. | |
this afternoon to view And Harry, not quite so settled yet, | :30:37. | :30:38. | |
but not far off, one suspects. And both at this anniversary, | :30:39. | :30:45. | |
one must assume, reassured by the enduring regard people feel | :30:46. | :30:47. | |
for their mother. She touched everybody and it shows | :30:48. | :30:50. | |
by how many people are here today. William and Harry took some | :30:51. | :31:02. | |
of the flowers people had brought and placed them at the Palace gates, | :31:03. | :31:04. | |
replaying some of the moments from two decades ago | :31:05. | :31:08. | |
and acknowledging the desire that many still have to hold | :31:09. | :31:10. | |
onto Diana's memory. Today, briefly, they've put | :31:11. | :31:16. | |
on their public, princely faces, Tomorrow though, William and Harry | :31:17. | :31:19. | |
will remain in private, remembering the mother they lost | :31:20. | :31:25. | |
