Tonight at 10.00pm -
the Pope appeals for tolerance | 0:00:06 | 0:00:08 | |
in Myanmar but refuses to mention
the persecuted Rohignyas by name. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:14 | |
The Pope held talks with Myanmar's
leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, | 0:00:14 | 0:00:19 | |
whose government has been accused
of ethnic cleansing in relation | 0:00:19 | 0:00:23 | |
to the Rohingya minority. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
Hundreds of thousands of Rohingya
have fled the violence in Myanmar | 0:00:26 | 0:00:29 | |
to refugee camps in neighbouring
Bangladesh. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:33 | |
I'm at the largest refugee camp in
southern Bangladesh, where hundreds | 0:00:33 | 0:00:37 | |
of thousands of people who fled
Myanmar continue to endure the most | 0:00:37 | 0:00:42 | |
squalid and desperate conditions. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:45 | |
We'll have more from Reeta in one
of the biggest camps in Bangladesh. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:48 | |
Also tonight: | 0:00:48 | 0:00:50 | |

Good evening. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:53 | |
Pope Francis has defended the rights
of ethnic groups on a visit | 0:01:53 | 0:02:01 | |
to Myanmar but he notably failed
to refer | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
to the Muslim Rohingya
minority by name. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
Myanmar has been accused
of ethnic cleansing, | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
with more than 600,000
Rohingya fleeing the country | 0:02:07 | 0:02:08 | |
in recent months. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
The Pope held talks with Myanmar's
leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, | 0:02:10 | 0:02:20 | |
repeatedly to speak out against | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
the treatment of the Rohingya,
many of whom are now living | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |
in refugeee camps in
neighbouring Bangladesh. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:28 | |
My colleague Reeta Chakrabarti
is in Kutupalong camp, | 0:02:28 | 0:02:30 | |
some 20 miles from the port city
of Cox's Bazar. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:34 | |
We can join Reeta now. Huw, people
here do look to world leaders to try | 0:02:34 | 0:02:40 | |
to highlight their plight. There
will have been expectations of Pope | 0:02:40 | 0:02:45 | |
Francis on his first visit to
Myanmar and not least whether or not | 0:02:45 | 0:02:49 | |
he would refer to the Rohignya s
directly by name. We have this | 0:02:49 | 0:03:04 | |
report from Martin Bashir. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:06 | |
On the lush grounds of Myanmar's
presidential palace, | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
a military band announces
the arrival of Pope Francis, | 0:03:09 | 0:03:18 | |
the rich pageantry, a world away
from the terror felt by more | 0:03:18 | 0:03:22 | |
than 600,000 Rohingya Muslims
who, since August, have | 0:03:22 | 0:03:23 | |
fled into Bangladesh
in what the United Nations has | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
called "textbook ethnic cleansing". | 0:03:26 | 0:03:34 | |
Today, Pope Francis met
with Myanmar's de facto leader, | 0:03:34 | 0:03:36 | |
as human rights organisations
urged him to talk | 0:03:36 | 0:03:38 | |
about the Rohingyas. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:39 | |
Though he referred to the Muslim
minority last month, | 0:03:39 | 0:03:43 | |
it's a word the Myanmar government
does not use, saying they migrated | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 | |
illegally from Bangladesh
and therefore should not be listed | 0:03:46 | 0:03:49 | |
as one of the country's
ethnic groups. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:53 | |
Inside the Convention Centre,
Aung San Suu Kyi did make reference | 0:03:53 | 0:03:55 | |
to the events in Rakhine,
where Rohingya have | 0:03:55 | 0:03:57 | |
lived for generations. | 0:03:57 | 0:04:02 | |
As we address long-standing issues,
the support of our people | 0:04:02 | 0:04:07 | |
and of good friends,
who only wish to see us | 0:04:07 | 0:04:09 | |
succeed in our endeavours,
has been invaluable. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:13 | |
Aung San Suu Kyi chose to say
little about the crisis. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:17 | |
Expectations then
shifted to Pope Francis. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:24 | |
TRANSLATION: The future
of Myanmar must be peace, | 0:04:24 | 0:04:29 | |
based on respect for the dignity
and right of each member of society, | 0:04:29 | 0:04:32 | |
respect for each ethnic group
and its identity, none excluded. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:40 | |
Pope Francis praised
the United Nations but he did not | 0:04:40 | 0:04:43 | |
refer to the UN's accusation that
Myanmar had been involved in ethnic | 0:04:43 | 0:04:46 | |
cleansing and while he said
the future of this nation must | 0:04:46 | 0:04:51 | |
include all races and religions,
he did not use the word "Rohingya". | 0:04:51 | 0:04:57 | |
Human rights activists have
expressed disappointment | 0:04:57 | 0:05:05 | |
that the Pope didn't go further
in his much-anticipated speech. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:10 | |
By not using the word "Rohingya"
the Pope has essentially emboldened | 0:05:10 | 0:05:13 | |
the Burmese narrative
that there are no Rohingya, | 0:05:13 | 0:05:15 | |
the Rohingya don't exist. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:16 | |
It's a tremendous missed opportunity
and we're extraordinarily | 0:05:16 | 0:05:18 | |
disappointed in Pope Francis. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:23 | |
The Pope may also have been mindful
of potential repercussions | 0:05:23 | 0:05:26 | |
for another religious minority. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:34 | |
Christians make up just 6%
of the population here and many have | 0:05:34 | 0:05:37 | |
travelled to take part in a special
mass, where hope Francis | 0:05:37 | 0:05:39 | |
will preside tomorrow. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:41 | |
Martin Bashir, BBC News, Myanmar. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:45 | |
Here in the camps, many of the
people we've spoken to have physical | 0:05:45 | 0:05:49 | |
injuries which they say were
sustained in the violence in | 0:05:49 | 0:05:52 | |
Myanmar. But aid workers are
increasingly worried about the | 0:05:52 | 0:05:57 | |
psychological impact of events, too.
I've been following the journey | 0:05:57 | 0:06:01 | |
through the camps of one young
refugee family. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:12 | |
Waiting at the border in Bangladesh,
600 refugees who've | 0:06:12 | 0:06:14 | |
crossed from Myanmar. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:15 | |
Is | 0:06:15 | 0:06:15 | |
They're held here for two days
before being allowed in. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:20 | |
They're exhausted and anxious. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:22 | |
Among them we found 18-year-old
Rabbia and her two nieces | 0:06:22 | 0:06:26 | |
nine-year-old Umi, and four-year-old
Nour. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:33 | |
They said they escaped
after the army and local Buddhists | 0:06:33 | 0:06:35 | |
in Myanmar attacked their village. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:39 | |
Rabia's parents were killed. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:41 | |
The little girl's mother was also
killed and they don't know what's | 0:06:41 | 0:06:44 | |
happened to their father. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:45 | |
They've been walking for 25 days. | 0:06:45 | 0:06:46 | |
TRANSLATION: People gave us food. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:47 | |
I just brought the two children. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:49 | |
I didn't bring
anything to cook with. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:53 | |
She says she's determined to keep
the children with her, | 0:06:53 | 0:06:55 | |
although it may be difficult. | 0:06:55 | 0:06:58 | |
A week later we find them in the UN
transit camp where vulnerable | 0:06:58 | 0:07:04 | |
people are looked after. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:05 | |
Umi has left to get
their food rations. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:11 | |
Hello. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:13 | |
So how are they getting on? | 0:07:13 | 0:07:14 | |
Oh, this is where you live. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:19 | |
You don't have much, do you? | 0:07:19 | 0:07:23 | |
Psychologists say little Nour
is severely traumatised | 0:07:23 | 0:07:25 | |
by her experiences. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:27 | |
She never speaks to any adults. | 0:07:27 | 0:07:37 | |
Almost everybody that you meet
in this camp say that they've seen | 0:07:40 | 0:07:43 | |
some terrible things. | 0:07:43 | 0:07:47 | |
This group has been set up to help
people deal with their experiences. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:55 | |
It's run by Mahmmuda,
a psychologists. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:56 | |
All the women here have
lost their husbands in the violence | 0:07:56 | 0:07:59 | |
in Myanmar and they're grateful
for her counselling. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:03 | |
Anjuman Khatoun says Mahmuda asks
questions about their lives, | 0:08:03 | 0:08:05 | |
they really talk to each other
about all the bad and the good | 0:08:05 | 0:08:08 | |
that's happened to them. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:15 | |
Her friend, Hamida Begum, echos her,
saying the sessions make her feel | 0:08:15 | 0:08:18 | |
happy and they're thankful. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:19 | |
People come from all over the camp
for help from Mahmuda. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:21 | |
She works with them
to rebuild their lives. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:26 | |
It really works magically,
because in my session, | 0:08:26 | 0:08:29 | |
normally I say a few words
and that is like - you are here, | 0:08:29 | 0:08:33 | |
and now you are safe
and you are not alone, | 0:08:33 | 0:08:43 | |
we are with you, so acknowledge your
life as you are alive | 0:08:43 | 0:08:46 | |
because you had to go through many
stories and experiences but finally | 0:08:46 | 0:08:48 | |
you are here and you are safe. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:50 | |
We knew the three girls we met
earlier were safe but it had been | 0:08:50 | 0:08:53 | |
four days and they'd moved on. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:58 | |
We found them with a group
of people from their village, | 0:08:58 | 0:09:01 | |
waiting to be registered
in a more permanent camp. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:05 | |
TRANSLATION: I hope for a good life. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:07 | |
I will never let the children go. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:09 | |
I will never go anywhere. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:10 | |
I will never leave their side. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:16 | |
Aid workers told us the girls
will get child protection | 0:09:16 | 0:09:19 | |
because they have no parents
and they'll be placed with | 0:09:19 | 0:09:21 | |
the others from their community. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:26 | |
Rabia, Umi and Nour are being looked
after, but they'll take | 0:09:26 | 0:09:29 | |
a long time to recover
from the trauma they've experienced. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:37 | |
Reeta, you have been there now for
several days. What's your impression | 0:09:37 | 0:09:41 | |
of the scale of the challenge facing
the officials there, clearly, with | 0:09:41 | 0:09:44 | |
the kind of work they have to do,
but of course the plight of the | 0:09:44 | 0:09:49 | |
refugees themselves? Well, the scale
of the challenge remains enormous | 0:09:49 | 0:09:54 | |
and the plight of the refugees
remains really pitiful. You'll have | 0:09:54 | 0:09:57 | |
got a sense over the last few days
of the scale of the challenge, of | 0:09:57 | 0:10:04 | |
the poverty, of the physical
environment here and also of the | 0:10:04 | 0:10:08 | |
tremendous mental cost to some of
the people here, as you saw there. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:11 | |
Aid workers say that a crisis of
this sort, the speed of the influx | 0:10:11 | 0:10:15 | |
of this huge number of people is
something that they haven't | 0:10:15 | 0:10:19 | |
experienced in decades. And how to
adequately care for these people, | 0:10:19 | 0:10:24 | |
and then eventually what to do with
them will be the two enormous | 0:10:24 | 0:10:28 | |
questions that nobody quite seems to
have the answer to. Reeta, once | 0:10:28 | 0:10:33 | |
again, many thanks for the latest
there. Reporting from Kutupalong in | 0:10:33 | 0:10:38 | |
Bangladesh. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:41 | |
North Korea has test-fired
an intercontinental ballistic | 0:10:41 | 0:10:42 | |
missile, the first in
more than two months. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:44 | |
Pyongyang has launched
several missiles this year | 0:10:44 | 0:10:46 | |
as tensions have risen
because of its nuclear programme. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:48 | |
Our diplomatic correspondent,
Paul Adams, reports from | 0:10:48 | 0:10:50 | |
Seoul in South Korea. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:55 | |
After two months without a test,
North Korea is back at the top | 0:10:55 | 0:10:58 | |
of President Trump's agenda. | 0:10:58 | 0:11:01 | |
A missile was launched a little
while ago from North Korea. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:04 | |
I will only tell you that we
will take care of it. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:13 | |
This is the 23rd North Korean
missile test this year, | 0:11:13 | 0:11:16 | |
the first since mid-September. | 0:11:16 | 0:11:17 | |
It took off in the early hours
of the morning from Pyongsong, | 0:11:17 | 0:11:20 | |
north of the capital Pyongyang. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:21 | |
It flew east for about 1,000
kilometres, landing after 50 minutes | 0:11:21 | 0:11:24 | |
in the Sea of Japan. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:25 | |
American officials believe this
was an intercontinental ballistic | 0:11:25 | 0:11:28 | |
missile and say it flew higher
than any previous test. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:38 | |
In response, South Korea
conducted a precision strike | 0:11:39 | 0:11:40 | |
missile test of its own. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:43 | |
The bottom line is it's a continued
effort to build a ballistic missile | 0:11:43 | 0:11:46 | |
threat that endangers world peace,
regional peace and certainly | 0:11:46 | 0:11:48 | |
the United States. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:50 | |
Thank you, General. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:51 | |
And we will take care
of that situation. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:52 | |
Thank you all very
much, I appreciate it. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:54 | |
Thank you. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:57 | |
North Korea's leader, Kim Jong Un,
has been seen in recent days | 0:11:57 | 0:12:00 | |
visiting largely economic ventures. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:01 | |
In the absence of fresh missile
tests, observers wondered | 0:12:01 | 0:12:03 | |
if his focus had shifted. | 0:12:03 | 0:12:04 | |
This, it seems,
was wishful thinking. | 0:12:04 | 0:12:09 | |
Here in Seoul, the President
has convened a meeting | 0:12:09 | 0:12:11 | |
of his National Security Council. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:15 | |
Most experts still think that
North Korea needs two to three years | 0:12:15 | 0:12:17 | |
to complete its nuclear weapons
programme, but yesterday | 0:12:17 | 0:12:20 | |
a Government Minister said
he wouldn't be surprised | 0:12:20 | 0:12:22 | |
if Kim Jong Un finished the job
within the next year. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:28 | |
North Korea he said was developing
its nuclear weapons much faster | 0:12:28 | 0:12:31 | |
than anyone expected. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:32 | |
The United States has stepped up
pressure on North Korea | 0:12:32 | 0:12:35 | |
throughout the year. | 0:12:35 | 0:12:37 | |
Military exercises the most visible
sign of Donald Trump's | 0:12:37 | 0:12:39 | |
uncompromising approach. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:41 | |
Officials believe the pressure
is making life harder | 0:12:41 | 0:12:44 | |
for the North Korean leader
but Kim Jong Un seems determined | 0:12:44 | 0:12:47 | |
to achieve his nuclear ambitions
and unwilling to talk | 0:12:47 | 0:12:49 | |
in the meantime. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:51 | |
Paul Adams, BBC News, Seoul. | 0:12:51 | 0:12:55 | |
Our Washington correspondent, Laura
Bicker, is at the White House. | 0:12:55 | 0:13:02 | |
Laura, what does this latest test
present to President Trump, as a | 0:13:02 | 0:13:05 | |
challenge? Well, it's been one week
since President Trump declared North | 0:13:05 | 0:13:11 | |
Korea a state-sponsor of terror and
it's two weeks since he was congreat | 0:13:11 | 0:13:16 | |
lating North Korea's ally and
neighbour, China, of getting on | 0:13:16 | 0:13:20 | |
board his policy of maximum pressure
on North Korea, to try to get Kim | 0:13:20 | 0:13:24 | |
Jong Un to give up his weapons
programme and that includes a huge | 0:13:24 | 0:13:29 | |
increase in sanctions. And there was
some hope, within some circles, that | 0:13:29 | 0:13:34 | |
it was working. Afterall, it's been
two months since North Korea fired a | 0:13:34 | 0:13:39 | |
missile. Today, Kim Jong Un remains
defiant. It wasn't just a missile. | 0:13:39 | 0:13:45 | |
It was an intercontinental ballistic
missile. One this White House has | 0:13:45 | 0:13:49 | |
declared as a threat to world peace
so. What does the US do now? Well, | 0:13:49 | 0:13:54 | |
when it comes to North Korea, you've
had the official policy of putting | 0:13:54 | 0:13:59 | |
pressure on Pyongyang, getting Kim
Jong Un to the negotiating table but | 0:13:59 | 0:14:03 | |
first he must show he's willing to
give up the weapons and that doesn't | 0:14:03 | 0:14:10 | |
look likely. Many will look at the
ambiguity of the President's words | 0:14:10 | 0:14:14 | |
today that he'll "deal with it" a
reminder that with this White House | 0:14:14 | 0:14:18 | |
all options remain on the table,
including a military option. | 0:14:18 | 0:14:21 | |
Many thanks, Laura bicker with the
latest from the White House. | 0:14:21 | 0:14:24 | |
Downing Street has sought
to play down speculation | 0:14:24 | 0:14:28 | |
that UK and EU negotiatiors have
agreed the framework of a Brexit | 0:14:28 | 0:14:31 | |
divorce payment ahead of a vital
EU summit next month. | 0:14:31 | 0:14:33 | |
Officials say intensive talks
continue to take place, | 0:14:33 | 0:14:36 | |
as they try to move negotiations
on to the next phase. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:38 | |
Our Europe editor,
Katya Adler, is in Brussels. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:44 | |
Ed. Are you detecting any signals
there that this divorce payment | 0:14:44 | 0:14:49 | |
debate is coming to some kind of
conclusion? Well, the pressure is | 0:14:49 | 0:14:54 | |
rising. Had uw. The E -- Huw, the EU
imposed a deadline, this coming | 0:14:54 | 0:15:03 | |
Monday, 4th December to make good
progress on the three main issues, | 0:15:03 | 0:15:07 | |
money, citizens' rights and Ireland.
Overwie, said the EU, you, UK can | 0:15:07 | 0:15:12 | |
forget what you want for Christmas,
progressing in the Brexit talks to | 0:15:12 | 0:15:16 | |
widen the talks to trade and
transition. Theresa May plans to | 0:15:16 | 0:15:19 | |
come here to the European Commission
in Brussels to coincide with that | 0:15:19 | 0:15:24 | |
deadline Monday for lunch with Jung
Juncker, the Commission chief. It | 0:15:24 | 0:15:27 | |
was expected she wouldn't and
couldn't come here empty handed. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:32 | |
Tonight there are rumours swirling
around that a framework deal has | 0:15:32 | 0:15:35 | |
been agreed on the financial
settlement. That's money the EU says | 0:15:35 | 0:15:38 | |
the UK owes from its time as an EU
member and has to honour. Now, the | 0:15:38 | 0:15:44 | |
com Commission is not officially
confirming it, nor is the UK | 0:15:44 | 0:15:47 | |
Government but my sources here say
the EU has been very upbeat of late | 0:15:47 | 0:15:51 | |
of progress on the money issue. The
kind of figure that's being talked | 0:15:51 | 0:15:58 | |
about here is around who billion
euros F that's the -- 40 #3wi8 yob | 0:15:58 | 0:16:04 | |
euros. - 40 billion euros. That
would be huge for the UK. Back in | 0:16:04 | 0:16:12 | |
October the Prime Minister offered
20 billion. It'll be towards the | 0:16:12 | 0:16:16 | |
lower side from what the EU expects
from the UK but it'll give them the | 0:16:16 | 0:16:20 | |
go-ahead to talk about trade and
transition but, and another big but, | 0:16:20 | 0:16:24 | |
up until now the big stumbling block
for the UK to progressing in the | 0:16:24 | 0:16:27 | |
talks had been the money issue, now,
it's Ireland, with the Irish | 0:16:27 | 0:16:32 | |
Government threatening to veto
progressing those talks, to block | 0:16:32 | 0:16:35 | |
them, to put pressure on blocking
them, unless the UK gives strong | 0:16:35 | 0:16:41 | |
commitments it'll not reintroduce a
hard border between Northern Ireland | 0:16:41 | 0:16:43 | |
and the Republic of Ireland. So
there is still a lot of pressure | 0:16:43 | 0:16:46 | |
tonight on the Prime Minister ahead
of her visit here on Monday. Many | 0:16:46 | 0:16:51 | |
thanks for the latest analysis there
in Brussels. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:55 | |
Kensington Palace has
announced that Prince Harry | 0:16:55 | 0:16:57 | |
and the American actress,
Meghan Markle, will marry in May | 0:16:57 | 0:17:00 | |
at St George's Chapel
in Windsor Castle. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:04 | |
Ms Markle is to become a British
citizen and she'll be confirmed | 0:17:04 | 0:17:07 | |
into the Church of England before
the wedding service. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:09 | |
The Royal Family will
be covering the cost | 0:17:09 | 0:17:11 | |
of the wedding and the reception. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:12 | |
Live to Windsor and our royal
correspondent Nicholas Witchell. | 0:17:12 | 0:17:20 | |
Yes, a Royal wedding within the
ancient walls of Windsor Castle. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:25 | |
Good for security for sure, not so
good potentially for public | 0:17:25 | 0:17:29 | |
accessibility, the public have said
they want the public to be part of | 0:17:29 | 0:17:31 | |
the celebration, I would imagine
there will be a carriage procession | 0:17:31 | 0:17:34 | |
through the streets of this very
committed Royal town. One point, the | 0:17:34 | 0:17:38 | |
Royal Family have said they will pay
the main costs of the ceremony. For | 0:17:38 | 0:17:42 | |
the couple themselves, for Harry and
Meghan, the priority now is | 0:17:42 | 0:17:46 | |
planning. | 0:17:46 | 0:17:49 | |
They have, in the words
of their spokesman, been overwhelmed | 0:17:49 | 0:17:51 | |
by the amount of the support they've
received from Britain and elsewhere | 0:17:51 | 0:17:54 | |
in the world to the news
of their engagement and now, | 0:17:54 | 0:17:57 | |
Harry and Meghan are starting
to organise the wedding, | 0:17:57 | 0:17:59 | |
taking charge over all aspects
of the ceremony themselves, | 0:17:59 | 0:18:04 | |
according to their officials. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:06 | |
As they do so, other members
of the Royal family have been | 0:18:06 | 0:18:09 | |
expressing their happiness
at the news of their engagement. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:15 | |
William and I are absolutely
thrilled, it's such exciting news, | 0:18:15 | 0:18:18 | |
it is a happy time for any couple
and we wish them all the best | 0:18:18 | 0:18:23 | |
and hope they enjoy
this happy moment. | 0:18:23 | 0:18:25 | |
America's loss is our gain. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:26 | |
We are all absolutely delighted. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:29 | |
As you can see, they are so happy. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:32 | |
Sometimes in a climate
where we are surrounded by a lot | 0:18:32 | 0:18:35 | |
of bad news it is a real joy
to have a bit of good news for once. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:39 | |
The first big decision
in terms of the wedding | 0:18:39 | 0:18:41 | |
planning is the venue. | 0:18:41 | 0:18:42 | |
The ceremony will take place
inside Windsor Castle | 0:18:42 | 0:18:44 | |
in the historic St George's Chapel. | 0:18:44 | 0:18:46 | |
The month on the invitations will be
May, a precise date has | 0:18:46 | 0:18:49 | |
still to be decided. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:53 | |
The 15th century chapel,
festooned with the banners | 0:18:53 | 0:18:55 | |
of the Knights of the Garter,
is where Harry was christened. | 0:18:55 | 0:18:59 | |
The disadvantage is the size. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:02 | |
It can seat only 800 guests,
fewer than half the capacity | 0:19:02 | 0:19:05 | |
of Westminster Abbey. | 0:19:05 | 0:19:08 | |
It is, though, a more intimate
setting, it is where the marriage | 0:19:08 | 0:19:11 | |
of the Prince of Wales
and the Duchess of Cornwall was | 0:19:11 | 0:19:16 | |
blessed in 2005 after their wedding
in a registry office. | 0:19:16 | 0:19:19 | |
In Windsor today reaction to having
another Royal wedding in the town | 0:19:19 | 0:19:22 | |
was predictably positive. | 0:19:22 | 0:19:23 | |
Absolutely amazing. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:25 | |
We're so excited about it. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:26 | |
That's fantastic. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:28 | |
Really nice, yeah, lovely,
it will be good for Windsor as well. | 0:19:28 | 0:19:30 | |
Really good. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:31 | |
Well, I live locally so it will be
nice to have such a fabulous | 0:19:31 | 0:19:35 | |
event in the local area. | 0:19:35 | 0:19:38 | |
Aside from wedding preparations,
Meghan will be applying | 0:19:38 | 0:19:40 | |
for British citizenship. | 0:19:40 | 0:19:43 | |
As she made clear in yesterday's
interview, she wants to get | 0:19:43 | 0:19:45 | |
to know Britain better. | 0:19:45 | 0:19:48 | |
I think in the beginning few months
and now being boots on the ground | 0:19:48 | 0:19:52 | |
in the UK I am excited to just
really get to know more | 0:19:52 | 0:19:55 | |
about the different communities
here, smaller organisations, | 0:19:55 | 0:20:00 | |
we are working on the same
causes that I have always | 0:20:00 | 0:20:03 | |
been passionate about. | 0:20:03 | 0:20:04 | |
That process of getting
to know her new country will start | 0:20:04 | 0:20:08 | |
this Friday in Nottingham. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:11 | |
The city will witness
the first official engagement | 0:20:11 | 0:20:14 | |
of the new Royal team,
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. | 0:20:14 | 0:20:16 | |

The wholesale grocery firm
Palmer and Harvey has | 0:20:19 | 0:20:21 | |
gone into administration
after rescue talks failed. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:24 | |
2,500 workers have
been made redundant. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:28 | |
P&H is the UK's fifth largest
privately owned firm and supplies | 0:20:28 | 0:20:30 | |
around 90,000 shops. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:35 | |
The vice-chancellor
of Bath University - | 0:20:35 | 0:20:38 | |
who's been widely criticised
for a salary package of nearly half | 0:20:38 | 0:20:41 | |
a million pounds a year -
is to retire from the post. | 0:20:41 | 0:20:44 | |
Professor Dame Glynis Breakwell
is the highest-paid university | 0:20:44 | 0:20:45 | |
vice-chancellor in the UK and she's
faced demands for her resignation | 0:20:45 | 0:20:49 | |
from students and staff,
as our education Branwen Jeffreys | 0:20:49 | 0:20:52 | |
reports. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:56 | |
Bath University sells itself
as one of the best, good | 0:20:56 | 0:20:58 | |
for students, good for research. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:05 | |
Good, too, for the vice-Chancellor. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:08 | |
Please do tell anyone
who will listen how great | 0:21:08 | 0:21:11 | |
the University of Bath is. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:13 | |
Tell them that we are number one
for student satisfaction. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:20 | |
Number one for
vice-chancellor's pay. | 0:21:20 | 0:21:23 | |
It wasn't just the money,
but the flat too and the housekeeper | 0:21:23 | 0:21:26 | |
that came with it. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:30 | |
Tonight, from the students,
this reaction to her departure. | 0:21:30 | 0:21:34 | |
I think it was one of -
it's time to go, I guess. | 0:21:34 | 0:21:37 | |
There's been huge student reaction
on social media saying that | 0:21:37 | 0:21:40 | |
essentially it's time for her to go. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:46 | |
Is your pay justified? | 0:21:46 | 0:21:48 | |
As the controversy grew,
Dame Glynis Breakwell | 0:21:48 | 0:21:52 | |
avoided questions. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:56 | |
But last week came a damming report,
the reputation of the University | 0:21:56 | 0:22:00 | |
damaged, staff and students
threatened more protests. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:04 | |
Tonight Dame Glynis Breakwell
defended her record saying. | 0:22:04 | 0:22:07 | |
"I have served the university
to the best of my ability | 0:22:07 | 0:22:10 | |
and will continue to do
so until the day I leave office. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:13 | |
Since 2001, the university has
changed dramatically. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:17 | |
It has almost tripled in size
and is now among the top | 0:22:17 | 0:22:21 | |
universities in the UK." | 0:22:21 | 0:22:23 | |
And for some who have campaigned
hard, disappointment | 0:22:28 | 0:22:30 | |
that she will be paid until 2019
and a car loan written off. | 0:22:30 | 0:22:35 | |
This is sheer greed on the part
of the university bosses. | 0:22:35 | 0:22:38 | |
And what's happening in Bath is only
the tip of the iceberg. | 0:22:38 | 0:22:41 | |
There are 55 vice-chancellors who
are paid more than £300,000 a year. | 0:22:41 | 0:22:44 | |
None should be paid at that level. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:49 | |
They should all take a big salary
cut and the money should be | 0:22:49 | 0:22:52 | |
given back to students. | 0:22:52 | 0:22:53 | |
This is a crisis which has
only just started. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:55 | |
Publicly, the university paid
tribute to the vice-chancellor. | 0:22:55 | 0:22:57 | |
Privately, many will be
relieved to move on. | 0:22:57 | 0:22:59 | |
No word yet on how much her
successor will be paid. | 0:22:59 | 0:23:09 | |
So still questions here tonight at
Bath University about the terms of | 0:23:13 | 0:23:19 | |
the departure. Staying in her flat
until August next year, paid until | 0:23:19 | 0:23:24 | |
February 2019. But as the row here
rumbles over, it's opening up a | 0:23:24 | 0:23:30 | |
whole other set of debates
elsewhere. There will be questions | 0:23:30 | 0:23:34 | |
now for many other vice-Chancellors
about whether their pay matches the | 0:23:34 | 0:23:40 | |
status of their universities but
also about how these decisions are | 0:23:40 | 0:23:44 | |
made, who gives the senior leaders
so much pay when university students | 0:23:44 | 0:23:49 | |
are taking on so much debt to come
to university? There is over the | 0:23:49 | 0:23:55 | |
horizon a new regulator for
universities that is already | 0:23:55 | 0:23:58 | |
promising to look at value for money
for taxpayers, value for money for | 0:23:58 | 0:24:03 | |
students. And beyond that, the
threat from Ministers that they | 0:24:03 | 0:24:07 | |
might even look at the possibilities
of fines. So this debate is only | 0:24:07 | 0:24:13 | |
just beginning and Bath is just the
first to feel the heat. | 0:24:13 | 0:24:19 | |
Thank you very much for the latest
there. | 0:24:19 | 0:24:24 | |
The suspect in last month's New York
truck attack has pleaded not guilty | 0:24:27 | 0:24:30 | |
to charges of murder and terrorism. | 0:24:30 | 0:24:32 | |
Eight people were killed and 12
others injured after they were hit | 0:24:32 | 0:24:35 | |
by a rental truck speeding down
a cycle path. | 0:24:35 | 0:24:37 | |
So-called Islamic State claimed
responsibility for the attack | 0:24:37 | 0:24:39 | |
which was the deadliest assault
on New York City since 9/11. | 0:24:39 | 0:24:46 | |
Ireland's deputy prime minister,
Frances Fitzgerald, has resigned | 0:24:46 | 0:24:48 | |
following criticism of her handling
of a whistle-blower scandal. | 0:24:48 | 0:24:51 | |
She said she's stood down to avoid
a potentially destabilising election | 0:24:51 | 0:24:54 | |
and insists she's acted
with integrity throughout | 0:24:54 | 0:24:56 | |
her political career. | 0:24:56 | 0:25:03 | |
Thousands of local people
and tourists are trying to find | 0:25:03 | 0:25:06 | |
refuge on the Indonesian island
of Bali amid fears that a local | 0:25:06 | 0:25:09 | |
volcano could erupt at any time. | 0:25:09 | 0:25:10 | |
Mount Agung is sending clouds
of ash, gas and smoke thousands | 0:25:10 | 0:25:13 | |
of metres into the air. | 0:25:13 | 0:25:14 | |
The airport is shut,
tourists have been stranded | 0:25:14 | 0:25:16 | |
and the authorities are moving
people into more than 200 | 0:25:16 | 0:25:20 | |
evacuation centres. | 0:25:20 | 0:25:25 | |
A petition - signed by more
than 100,000 people - | 0:25:25 | 0:25:28 | |
calling for accessible disabled
toilets to be installed | 0:25:28 | 0:25:30 | |
in all motorway services in the UK
is being delivered to the Houses | 0:25:30 | 0:25:33 | |
of Parliament tomorrow. | 0:25:33 | 0:25:36 | |
Standard disabled toilets don't meet
the needs of an estimated 250,000 | 0:25:36 | 0:25:38 | |
people who can't get out
of their wheelchair alone. | 0:25:38 | 0:25:41 | |
Our correspondent Natalie Pirks has
been out shopping with those | 0:25:41 | 0:25:43 | |
calling for major retailers
to improve their facilities. | 0:25:43 | 0:25:50 | |
It's a basic right
many take for granted, | 0:25:50 | 0:25:52 | |
the freedom to use a toilet. | 0:25:52 | 0:25:56 | |
But what if your disability made
spending a penny in public a choice | 0:25:56 | 0:25:59 | |
between sitting in your own waste
or lying on a germ ridden floor? | 0:25:59 | 0:26:04 | |
A photo on social media
of a disabled child being changed | 0:26:04 | 0:26:08 | |
on a toilet floor in John Lewis
prompted outrage, yet | 0:26:08 | 0:26:13 | |
for campaigners, it's
an everyday reality. | 0:26:13 | 0:26:15 | |
If you were to see someone's child
laying on a toilet floor or a baby | 0:26:15 | 0:26:19 | |
would you do something about it? | 0:26:19 | 0:26:20 | |
Would you wait for the law to make
you do something about it? | 0:26:20 | 0:26:28 | |
This is one of those things
that they should be doing for moral | 0:26:28 | 0:26:31 | |
and ethical reasons. | 0:26:31 | 0:26:32 | |
John Lewis says its new Cheltenham
store will have a hoist and adult | 0:26:32 | 0:26:35 | |
sized bench and it's assessing
whether these facilities can be | 0:26:35 | 0:26:38 | |
incorporated into future
shop refurbishments. | 0:26:38 | 0:26:48 | |
Currenty there are only around 1,000
so-called changing places | 0:26:48 | 0:26:50 | |
toilets and in major supermarkets
just nine across | 0:26:50 | 0:26:52 | |
the whole of the UK. | 0:26:52 | 0:26:53 | |
One business, though,
is bucking the trend. | 0:26:53 | 0:26:55 | |
The main reason given by retailers
for not having more of these toilets | 0:26:55 | 0:26:58 | |
in their stores is space. | 0:26:58 | 0:27:03 | |
This is around 12 metres squared
and money, it costs around £11,000 | 0:27:03 | 0:27:06 | |
to £14,000 to fit one of these
changing places toilets. | 0:27:06 | 0:27:09 | |
Yet Ikea has managed
to put these into most | 0:27:09 | 0:27:11 | |
of their stores without any fuss
and without really having to. | 0:27:11 | 0:27:16 | |
The law needs to change.
It's like a dog with no teeth. | 0:27:16 | 0:27:20 | |
Samantha and her 11-year-old son
Alfie live in more sham. | 0:27:20 | 0:27:22 | |
Samantha and her 11-year-old son
Alfie live in Horsham. | 0:27:28 | 0:27:30 | |
Christmas shopping has
to be carefully planned. | 0:27:30 | 0:27:32 | |
The council run toilet
isn't fit for his needs. | 0:27:32 | 0:27:34 | |
There's barely enough room
for his chair and me | 0:27:34 | 0:27:37 | |
without getting him out
of the wheelchair and | 0:27:37 | 0:27:38 | |
laying him on the floor. | 0:27:38 | 0:27:40 | |
Instead Samantha has to get Alfie
back in the car and drive | 0:27:40 | 0:27:42 | |
to their nearest suitable toilet. | 0:27:42 | 0:27:44 | |
For many people, that is miles away. | 0:27:44 | 0:27:46 | |
The law is confusing. | 0:27:46 | 0:27:49 | |
The British standard institute
recommends putting these toilets | 0:27:49 | 0:27:52 | |
into all large public buildings,
but it's not compulsory. | 0:27:52 | 0:27:57 | |
Whereas the equality act says
businesses have a duty to make | 0:27:57 | 0:28:00 | |
reasonable adjustments to ensure
those with disabilities | 0:28:00 | 0:28:01 | |
can access toilets,
but what constitutes reasonable? | 0:28:01 | 0:28:06 | |
It's been left up to campaigners
to try and enforce change. | 0:28:06 | 0:28:08 | |
Now can you see why this
is so important for us? | 0:28:08 | 0:28:13 | |
This is what we need
just to go to the loo. | 0:28:13 | 0:28:17 | |
The Government has helped fund a map
showing people their closest | 0:28:17 | 0:28:21 | |
accessible toilets. | 0:28:21 | 0:28:24 | |
The blue spots show the sparsest
areas where there are less than ten. | 0:28:24 | 0:28:27 | |
The Government says it's looking
into whether current regulations | 0:28:27 | 0:28:29 | |
adequately meet the needs
of disabled people and it's | 0:28:29 | 0:28:32 | |
appointed a disability
champion for retail. | 0:28:32 | 0:28:36 | |
I think definitely when you've got
a new build, there's no doubt | 0:28:36 | 0:28:39 | |
that there should be a changing
places facility in there. | 0:28:39 | 0:28:41 | |
We have an issue with old stock
in the UK, so it's quite hard | 0:28:41 | 0:28:45 | |
when you've got a building to try
and retro-fit that. | 0:28:45 | 0:28:50 | |
Disabled children become
disabled adults, like | 0:28:50 | 0:28:53 | |
43-year-old Julie Clough. | 0:28:53 | 0:28:56 | |
The tireless campaigning
of her brother and mother has led | 0:28:56 | 0:28:59 | |
to every UK airport having
a changing places toilet. | 0:28:59 | 0:29:05 | |
When they said I had to use the room
where they stored the body bags, | 0:29:05 | 0:29:11 | |
that was the final straw. | 0:29:11 | 0:29:12 | |
And I thought, watch this space. | 0:29:12 | 0:29:14 | |
It's hoped in the future,
they won't have to fight alone. | 0:29:14 | 0:29:18 | |

Vital satellites in space
are in danger of being damaged | 0:29:22 | 0:29:24 | |
and important communications
interrupted by the existence | 0:29:24 | 0:29:26 | |
of so much junk floating around,
including redundant satellites, | 0:29:26 | 0:29:30 | |
old rockets and fragments
of abandoned spacecraft. | 0:29:30 | 0:29:35 | |
A British team is hoping to solve
the problem by sending a spacecraft | 0:29:35 | 0:29:38 | |
to clear up some of the debris. | 0:29:38 | 0:29:40 | |
Our science correspondent
Rebecca Morelle has the story. | 0:29:40 | 0:29:45 | |
Trois, deux, un - lift off. | 0:29:45 | 0:29:50 | |
Blasting off, for decades we've been
launching into space, | 0:29:50 | 0:29:53 | |
but what goes up rarely comes down
and space has become | 0:29:53 | 0:29:57 | |
crowded with junk. | 0:29:57 | 0:30:02 | |
The Remove Debris spacecraft
could be the answer, | 0:30:02 | 0:30:04 | |
the world's first attempt to test
how we can clean-up | 0:30:04 | 0:30:06 | |
celestial clutter. | 0:30:06 | 0:30:10 | |
It will see if it's possible
to snare a satellite in a net | 0:30:10 | 0:30:16 | |
and review how
effective a harpoon is. | 0:30:16 | 0:30:18 | |
It will then bring everything back
down, burning up as it enters | 0:30:18 | 0:30:21 | |
the Earth's atmosphere. | 0:30:21 | 0:30:23 | |
It's been assembled in Surrey
and it's cost £15 million. | 0:30:23 | 0:30:26 | |
This is the last chance to see it
before it's packed up | 0:30:26 | 0:30:29 | |
for its launch early next year. | 0:30:29 | 0:30:31 | |
This is the Remove Debris platform
and it's going to be one | 0:30:31 | 0:30:34 | |
of the world's first missions
to actually demonstrate | 0:30:34 | 0:30:37 | |
cleaning up space junk. | 0:30:37 | 0:30:39 | |
This mission is
incredibly important. | 0:30:39 | 0:30:42 | |
We have technologies on here that
have never been demonstrated | 0:30:42 | 0:30:46 | |
in space before and it's urgent
that we actually launch this mission | 0:30:46 | 0:30:49 | |
now so we can develop these
technologies for use in the future. | 0:30:49 | 0:30:53 | |
Since the early days of exploration
the area around the Earth has grown | 0:30:53 | 0:30:56 | |
more and more cluttered. | 0:30:56 | 0:31:00 | |
It's estimated there
are about 7,500 tonnes of junk, | 0:31:00 | 0:31:03 | |
made up of old bits of rocket,
fragments from defunct spacecraft, | 0:31:03 | 0:31:07 | |
even tools dropped by an astronaut. | 0:31:07 | 0:31:09 | |
Scientists believe there are now
half a million pieces of debris | 0:31:09 | 0:31:15 | |
the size of a marble or bigger
and each piece has the potential | 0:31:15 | 0:31:18 | |
to do some serious damage. | 0:31:18 | 0:31:20 | |
Last year the International
Space Station was hit. | 0:31:20 | 0:31:23 | |
This chip in a window
was caused when it was struck | 0:31:23 | 0:31:26 | |
by a tiny fleck of paint. | 0:31:26 | 0:31:30 | |
But the bigger pieces of junk
are a more pressing problem. | 0:31:30 | 0:31:33 | |
This European satellite,
the size of a double decker bus, | 0:31:33 | 0:31:35 | |
suddenly stopped working in 2012. | 0:31:35 | 0:31:38 | |
Since then, it's been circling
the earth, threatening other key | 0:31:38 | 0:31:40 | |
satellites in its path. | 0:31:40 | 0:31:44 | |
The problem is going to grow. | 0:31:44 | 0:31:46 | |
It's going to grow because
collisions are going to take place | 0:31:46 | 0:31:49 | |
in the orbital environment. | 0:31:49 | 0:31:50 | |
We're going to lose
the satellites that we rely on. | 0:31:50 | 0:31:54 | |
That's going to be costly to us,
it's going to be costly | 0:31:54 | 0:31:57 | |
to the future generation. | 0:31:57 | 0:31:58 | |
All eyes are now trained
on the Remove Debris spacecraft. | 0:31:58 | 0:32:00 | |
If the technology works,
the hope is future missions can be | 0:32:00 | 0:32:03 | |
scaled up and the space
clean-up can begin. | 0:32:03 | 0:32:05 | |
