0:00:20 > 0:00:24between the UK and USA.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27And he moved to reject talk of growing differences
0:00:27 > 0:00:30between Britain and America - not least on the global
0:00:30 > 0:00:37terror threat.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40I have tremendous respect for the Prime Minister
0:00:40 > 0:00:42and the job she's doing.
0:00:42 > 0:00:43I think the feeling is mutual from the standpoint
0:00:43 > 0:00:45of liking each other a lot.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48We had a great discussion today and we continue to have that really
0:00:48 > 0:00:50special relationsohp between the UK and the United States.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Standing shoulder to shoulder because we're facing the same
0:00:52 > 0:00:56challenges across the world.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59We'll have the latest from Davos as plans are now being made
0:00:59 > 0:01:02for a visit by President Trump to the UK later this year.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Also tonight...
0:01:05 > 0:01:08A rise in recorded crime in England and Wales and the highest number
0:01:08 > 0:01:09of killings and murders for a decade.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12The number of people sleeping rough in England has increased
0:01:12 > 0:01:15for the seventh year in a row.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18The United Nations warns that one and a half million people
0:01:18 > 0:01:24are on the brink of famine in South Sudan.

0:02:01 > 0:02:04President Trump - attending the World Economic Forum in Davos -
0:02:04 > 0:02:06has predicted a "tremendous increase" in trade
0:02:06 > 0:02:11between the UK and the USA.
0:02:11 > 0:02:16He spoke after he held talks with Theresa May
0:02:16 > 0:02:18the President dismissed talk of growing differences
0:02:18 > 0:02:20between Britain and America, not least on the global terror
0:02:20 > 0:02:21threat.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Mr Trump's trade policies and his America first approach
0:02:23 > 0:02:26are under scrutiny at the gathering of the world's political
0:02:26 > 0:02:27and business elite.
0:02:27 > 0:02:34Jon Sopel reports from Davos.
0:02:34 > 0:02:39In a blur of rotor blades and snow and an avalanche of expectation,
0:02:39 > 0:02:48Donald Trump flew into Davos. Not his natural environment.It is
0:02:48 > 0:02:53exciting to be here, we are happy to be here.The United States is doing
0:02:53 > 0:02:58well. He came with the message, he had come to spread peace and
0:02:58 > 0:03:05prosperity. This is not Daniel into the lion's den. Donald Trump and
0:03:05 > 0:03:09Davos not exactly natural soul mates but the World Economic Forum has
0:03:09 > 0:03:13come to a virtual standstill. Mr President, are you looking forward
0:03:13 > 0:03:21to your meeting with Theresa May? After their spat over the
0:03:21 > 0:03:25anti-Muslim Britain first videos and cancels trip to London they were
0:03:25 > 0:03:29falling over themselves to be nice. Problems in the relationship, A
0:03:29 > 0:03:35false rumour said the president.We have had a great discussion. We are
0:03:35 > 0:03:43on the same wavelength. I have every respect. The Prime Minister and
0:03:43 > 0:03:47myself have a great relationship, although some people do not
0:03:47 > 0:03:52necessarily believe that but I can tell you I have tremendous respect
0:03:52 > 0:03:57for the Prime Minister and the job she's doing.And the Prime Minister
0:03:57 > 0:04:01beamed. We had a great discussion today and we continue to have that
0:04:01 > 0:04:06special relationship between the UK and United States, standing shoulder
0:04:06 > 0:04:10to shoulder because we face the same challenges across the world and we
0:04:10 > 0:04:16are working to do gather to defeat those challenges.Downing Street
0:04:16 > 0:04:20confirmed officials are finalising arrangements for a working visit to
0:04:20 > 0:04:25the UK by Donald Trump later this year but no mention of an invitation
0:04:25 > 0:04:29for a state visit Theresa May extended a year ago. This evening
0:04:29 > 0:04:33the president had dinner with business leaders, some more
0:04:33 > 0:04:38important to Mr Trump personally than others. The makers of aspirin.
0:04:38 > 0:04:49I believe you take it? I do. I only take one aspirin a day.His purpose
0:04:49 > 0:04:56of the trip to South America.When I decided to come to Davos I did not
0:04:56 > 0:05:01think in terms of the leaders, I think in terms of lots of people who
0:05:01 > 0:05:06want to invest, lots of money and they are coming back to the United
0:05:06 > 0:05:12States, to America, and I thought of it more in those terms.Tomorrow
0:05:12 > 0:05:17comes his keynote address. The protectionist among the free
0:05:17 > 0:05:22traders, the America first president amid globalists. It might not be a
0:05:22 > 0:05:25meeting of minds. But say it quietly, Donald Trump seems to be
0:05:25 > 0:05:27enjoying himself.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29In a moment, we'll speak to our political editor
0:05:29 > 0:05:30Laura Kuenssberg at Westminster.
0:05:30 > 0:05:38But first to Davos and our economics editor Kamal Ahmed.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42Can we pick up on the importance for the UK of establishing a
0:05:42 > 0:05:48comprehensive trade deal with the USA?I think today Theresa May had
0:05:48 > 0:05:54to execute a delicate balancing act between the politics and economics
0:05:54 > 0:06:01of Donald Trump's time in Davos. The politics might suggest a slight
0:06:01 > 0:06:05coolness, we have the clash over tweets about Britain first and
0:06:05 > 0:06:11Muslim terror, and the fact the president cancelled a possible trip
0:06:11 > 0:06:15to London. Frankly this place is about economic and the facts are
0:06:15 > 0:06:23pretty brutal. Britain is... Britain's biggest trading partner is
0:06:23 > 0:06:27the European Union and of course Theresa May is leaving the European
0:06:27 > 0:06:32Union. The second largest trading nation for Britain's exports is
0:06:32 > 0:06:37America. The last thing Theresa May wants is to be fighting trade
0:06:37 > 0:06:42battles on two France, to the east with the European Union and to the
0:06:42 > 0:06:47west with America. Today she will welcome mood music about the
0:06:47 > 0:06:51possibility of a free-trade deal. Let's not say she has got it over
0:06:51 > 0:06:57the line, these deals take years. Yes positive noise welcomed by the
0:06:57 > 0:07:00government but these negotiations are incredibly tough and will take
0:07:00 > 0:07:08years and years to execute.Many thanks. Laura, we heard the
0:07:08 > 0:07:12effusively words, the president met the Prime Minister. The tone at
0:07:12 > 0:07:17Westminster slightly different? Almost as the flashbulbs were going
0:07:17 > 0:07:23off as they met in Davos, another war of words was breaking out at
0:07:23 > 0:07:27Westminster over Brexit with the Chancellor, who by chance happen to
0:07:27 > 0:07:33be speaking in Davos, saying after Brexit he was hopeful the two
0:07:33 > 0:07:38economies, the EU and UK would only be different in a modest way, and
0:07:38 > 0:07:44that suggestion once we are out of the EU, we will be tightly together,
0:07:44 > 0:07:52was a red rag to many Brexit bulls, very upset by the remarks by the
0:07:52 > 0:07:57Chancellor on the night when a leading voice of theirs, Jacob
0:07:57 > 0:08:01Rees-Mogg, the leader of a powerful group in the back benches, accused
0:08:01 > 0:08:07the government of being cowed by the EU, accusing them of somehow
0:08:07 > 0:08:13managing to climb rather than grasp the opportunities of Brexit, and yet
0:08:13 > 0:08:17again we have the two sides of the Tory party is slipping into a
0:08:17 > 0:08:23damaging bust up. You might think so what? We know the Tories are divided
0:08:23 > 0:08:28on this issue, but it matters not just because Theresa May has to
0:08:28 > 0:08:32stick the sides together to deliver a complicated project of taking is
0:08:32 > 0:08:38out of the EU, but also because of the level of grumpiness in the Tory
0:08:38 > 0:08:43party has such a bearing on whether or not she can manage the Tory party
0:08:43 > 0:08:52at all. There has been a sour mood at Westminster in the past
0:08:52 > 0:08:54at Westminster in the past couple of mutterings, someone suggesting today
0:08:54 > 0:08:59it might be time for a regime change. It is important to say the
0:08:59 > 0:09:03majority of MPs and ministers think they have little choice but to carry
0:09:03 > 0:09:09on with Theresa May. Number 10 believes the fundamentals have not
0:09:09 > 0:09:14changed but rather than enjoying the Kodak moment with the American
0:09:14 > 0:09:18president, Theresa May back home tonight is dealing again with having
0:09:18 > 0:09:24to confront divisions and discord in her own political party.Thank you.
0:09:24 > 0:09:29There's been a sharp rise in the number of serious violent
0:09:29 > 0:09:32crimes and six offences recorded by police in England and Wales.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34And official figures show cases of murder and manslaughter
0:09:34 > 0:09:36are at their highest level in almost a decade.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40But a separate survey - based on people's experiences rather
0:09:40 > 0:09:42than official data recorded by police -
0:09:42 > 0:09:44suggests that overall crime is continuing to fall.
0:09:44 > 0:09:49Our home affairs correspondent Tom Symonds reports.
0:09:49 > 0:09:54Behind the statistics, wasted lives.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56A decade after Meschak Cornelio first tried out the bike he'd
0:09:56 > 0:10:00been given as a present, he became one of the four young
0:10:00 > 0:10:02men stabbed to death in London on New Year's Eve.
0:10:02 > 0:10:09Leaving his father confronting a nightmare.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12The doctor said to me, Mr Cornelio, sorry about Meschak.
0:10:12 > 0:10:13When he came here...
0:10:13 > 0:10:15A couple of minutes, he is dead.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17So he came into hospital and within a couple
0:10:17 > 0:10:18of minutes, he was dead?
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Yes.
0:10:20 > 0:10:25He tells us in his native Portuguese he has no idea why it happened,
0:10:25 > 0:10:28what might have been going on in Meschak's life.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30TRANSLATION:My advice for other parents would be
0:10:30 > 0:10:33to talk more to your kids.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37Try to find out, even if you think they have secrets away from home.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41Today's figures set out the rise in violent crime recorded by police.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45Knife crime went up by 21%.
0:10:45 > 0:10:46Knife crime went up by 21%.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Gun crime up by 20%.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52Manslaughter and murder went up by 10%.
0:10:52 > 0:10:57Now the official survey of crime shows the number of people who say
0:10:57 > 0:11:01they have been a victim is falling steadily, but police records
0:11:01 > 0:11:07are seen as an accurate measure of serious violent crime.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10And despite schemes like these bins, where knives can be handed
0:11:10 > 0:11:13in no questions asked, it is rising steadily.
0:11:13 > 0:11:21He said, I didn't mean to kill him, that wasn't my intention.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29I just wanted to wet him up, slash him, cut him across the arm,
0:11:29 > 0:11:30take photos and uploaded onto social media.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33This is Alison Cope and she is talking about
0:11:33 > 0:11:34the murder of her own son.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Her audience - students at Coventry College.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Josh Ribera was better known as the grime artist Depzman
0:11:38 > 0:11:39to his thousands of fans.
0:11:39 > 0:11:45A single slash of a knife took his life in 2013.
0:11:45 > 0:11:53His eyes flicker, they close, hits the floor.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55It is a tough listen.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Alison tells them these are the consequences but carrying
0:11:57 > 0:11:58a knife is your choice.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01She believes telling them not to does not work and says
0:12:01 > 0:12:03that is how the government's current policy comes across.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05They are standing up and doing their token gesture.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07It is not working.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10How many young people have to die for them to admit that
0:12:10 > 0:12:12what we are doing is not correct?
0:12:12 > 0:12:19True, government policy recently has centred on enforcement.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Tough rules on knives, tough policing, tough sentences.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24But today ministers appeared to signal a change
0:12:24 > 0:12:25towards Alison's way.
0:12:25 > 0:12:30We have to get to the root causes and we have to work
0:12:30 > 0:12:36as a society, government, police, and civil society,
0:12:36 > 0:12:39to try and get to the root of this cultural issue and try to steer
0:12:39 > 0:12:43young people away from violence.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46But serious proposals for work with young people are not
0:12:46 > 0:12:48going to come cheap and, by the way, police numbers
0:12:48 > 0:12:50are now at their lowest level for two decades.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54Tom Symonds, BBC News in the West Midlands.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58A brief look at some of the day's other other news stories...
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Health officials in England say the outbreak of winter flu
0:13:00 > 0:13:02appears to have peaked.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Although the number of people with the flu is still rising,
0:13:05 > 0:13:07the rate of the increase is slowing down.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10Rates have also risen in Wales but fallen slightly
0:13:10 > 0:13:15in Northern Ireland and Scotland.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Government league tables show more than one in eight secondary schools
0:13:18 > 0:13:20in England is now falling below the minimum standard.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22They're the first tables since the introduction of new GCSEs
0:13:22 > 0:13:23in Maths and English.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27The Association of School and College Leaders said
0:13:27 > 0:13:30the new tables should not be compared with previous years
0:13:30 > 0:13:37because of complex changes in the way schools are assessed.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40The decision to release the serial sex attacker John Worboys has led
0:13:40 > 0:13:43to the Mayor of London lodging an application for judicial review.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46The Mayor said the Parole Board's ruling to release Worboys "simply
0:13:46 > 0:13:48could not go unchallenged".
0:13:48 > 0:13:51The former taxi driver was jailed for a minimum term of
0:13:51 > 0:13:55eight years in 2009.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58The Prime Minister says she will continue to work to ensure
0:13:58 > 0:14:01women are "accepted and respected as equals" as the fallout
0:14:01 > 0:14:03from the men-only charity dinner - the Presidents Club -
0:14:03 > 0:14:06continues.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09An undercover reporter says women employed as hostesses at the event
0:14:09 > 0:14:11last week were groped and sexually harassed.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Theresa May says it wasn't just the event that worried her -
0:14:14 > 0:14:17but what it said about the wider issue in society and
0:14:17 > 0:14:18attitudes to women, as our correspondent
0:14:18 > 0:14:22Sarah Campbell reports.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26The invite was for men only, a chance to network,
0:14:26 > 0:14:29raise money for charity and interact with more than 100 young
0:14:29 > 0:14:34women, all told to wear short, tight dresses.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37The allegations of sexual harassment have shocked many, but not,
0:14:37 > 0:14:41it seems, women who have worked at previous Presidents Club dinners.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45One hostess who was employed at two of the dinners in 2014 and 2015,
0:14:45 > 0:14:47was so uncomfortable at the second occasion that she refused
0:14:47 > 0:14:49to work at the event again.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53There were girls sat on people's laps and, you know,
0:14:53 > 0:14:55being fondled and groped, and that was very early
0:14:55 > 0:14:58on in the evening.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00And the fact that we were hired for entertainment, people thought
0:15:00 > 0:15:08it was OK and that sort of behaviour was permissible.
0:15:08 > 0:15:13There are reports of the latest in a six workers arrived at some point in
0:15:13 > 0:15:18the evening, was that something you were aware acting as attended?
0:15:18 > 0:15:19Yes.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21I can't confirm whether they were sex workers,
0:15:21 > 0:15:24but a group of women arrived around midnight, and that was when the
0:15:24 > 0:15:25party atmosphere really kicked off.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27It was definitely people wanting to enjoy themselves,
0:15:27 > 0:15:29and these sex workers, if they were sex workers,
0:15:29 > 0:15:33turned up to facilitate that.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36The repercussions for those who attended the dinner have continued.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Nadhim Zahawi, the Minister for Children and Families,
0:15:38 > 0:15:41was reprimanded by his party.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45He says he left early because he felt uncomfortable
0:15:45 > 0:15:47and has condemned what he described as the horrific events reported
0:15:47 > 0:15:52by the Financial Times.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54The Labour peer Lord Mendelsohn said he hadn't witnessed anything
0:15:54 > 0:15:57untoward at the dinner, but tonight agreed to step back
0:15:57 > 0:16:01from the Labour Party front bench.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03This is Moni Varma, one of many attendees
0:16:03 > 0:16:06unsettled by what is now emerging, having not been aware himself of any
0:16:06 > 0:16:10inappropriate behaviour.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12That doesn't mean things couldn't have gone wrong.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15It's too large a crowd.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Things could have gone wrong and there's no justification.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20If anybody felt uncomfortable, if a young lady felt
0:16:20 > 0:16:26uncomfortable, it's completely, you know, unpardonable.
0:16:26 > 0:16:31Today the Prime Minister gave her reaction to
0:16:31 > 0:16:38what's allegedly gone on.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Well, I'm not happy with an event of that type
0:16:41 > 0:16:42taking place.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44I was appalled by the reports I read.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46What worries me is it's not just about that event,
0:16:46 > 0:16:49it's about what it says about this wider issue in society, about
0:16:49 > 0:16:50attitudes towards women.
0:16:50 > 0:16:51We have made progress.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Sadly, I think that showed we still have a lot more
0:16:54 > 0:16:55progress to make.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Last week's dinner will be the last, as the Presidents
0:16:57 > 0:17:01Club has now closed, but the event is being seen
0:17:01 > 0:17:05as further evidence of how far women still have to go to be treated
0:17:05 > 0:17:06as equals in the world of work.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Sarah Campbell, BBC News.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12The number of people sleeping rough in England has increased
0:17:12 > 0:17:18for the seventh year in a row.
0:17:18 > 0:17:19Official figures show nearly 5000 people were sleeping
0:17:19 > 0:17:22on the streets last year.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25That's an increase of 15% on the previous year.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28The figures are the highest since current records began -
0:17:28 > 0:17:30up 169% since 2010.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32The government says it's investing more than a billion pounds
0:17:32 > 0:17:33to address the issue.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Our social affairs correspondent Michael Buchanan has been
0:17:35 > 0:17:37looking at the problem, and potential solutions.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Freezing cold, shivering, rain battering down on you.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44They kick you, punch you and chuck bricks at you while you are asleep.
0:17:44 > 0:17:45They think it's fun.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48I don't think it's fun.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51I learnt the hard way it can happen to any
0:17:51 > 0:17:53of us at any given time.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Rough sleepers have long been visible in London,
0:17:55 > 0:17:58probably always will be, but the rising numbers has
0:17:58 > 0:18:01made the problem visible in many more places.
0:18:01 > 0:18:08Milton Keynes is a new town dealing with a new problem.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12Within metres of the station is Tony, he is 72.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14He was evicted from his flat last February.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17He won't say why.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Every time I wake up, I class it as a bonus,
0:18:20 > 0:18:23it's another day I have got to get through.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27The town is struggling to accommodate its residents, despite
0:18:27 > 0:18:31some of its homeless having jobs.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34I've paid for my mortgage, paid for my daughter's
0:18:34 > 0:18:36nursery fees and absolutely right after Christmas I've
0:18:36 > 0:18:38got absolutely nothing.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Isaac is an assistant project manager with
0:18:40 > 0:18:43accountancy firm Deloitte.
0:18:43 > 0:18:44A domestic incident left him spending two freezing
0:18:44 > 0:18:49nights in a garage.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51He hasn't told his employers he's homeless.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55I go through the night sometimes rough and I have to go
0:18:55 > 0:18:57through the day without showing that this is the situation
0:18:57 > 0:19:02throughout the night.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05I continued my journey north, heading for Crewe.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Two years ago, there were officially no rough sleepers in the area.
0:19:08 > 0:19:09There are now 21.
0:19:09 > 0:19:16I nursed my mother for about 12 years.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18In the last four years, she got diagnosed with cancer
0:19:18 > 0:19:21and she died, so I just lost it.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25In a nearby car park, an increasing phenomenon.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28People homeless in their hometown.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Devastated.
0:19:30 > 0:19:36To sit there on corners, when people walk past who know you,
0:19:36 > 0:19:40who you grew up with, and they look down their nose at you.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Today's figures only apply to England, but Scotland too has
0:19:43 > 0:19:46a problem with rough sleeping, so I'm heading to Glasgow now
0:19:46 > 0:19:49to see their very different approach to the problem.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53This is the kitchen area.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56This flat has been bought specifically for a homeless man.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59The initiative is called Housing First.
0:19:59 > 0:20:05The idea is to give every rough sleeper in Glasgow
0:20:05 > 0:20:12a home and a support worker.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14If whoever ends up in this flat struggles to cope and goes
0:20:14 > 0:20:17back to rough sleeping, we will hold this flat for them
0:20:17 > 0:20:20for a period while we engage with them while they are on the street.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Given Glasgow's needs, the scheme won't be cheap,
0:20:22 > 0:20:25but evidence from abroad suggests it works and is far less
0:20:25 > 0:20:26expensive than doing nothing.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29It must be very dangerous to be a woman on the street.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32It is, it is, aye.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36That's true, very true, dear.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Michael Buchanan, BBC News.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49The United Nations is warning that 1.5 million people
0:20:49 > 0:20:51are on the brink of famine in South Sudan,
0:20:51 > 0:20:53with half the country facing severe food shortages.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Armed conflict is fuelling the crisis, many people
0:20:55 > 0:20:57are unable to grow food and dozens of aid workers
0:20:57 > 0:20:59have been kidnapped and murdered in recent months.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01After years of civil war, a peace deal was signed
0:21:01 > 0:21:03three years ago between South Sudan's
0:21:03 > 0:21:05government and rebel fighters.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07But it's been largely ignored by both sides.
0:21:07 > 0:21:14From Juba, our chief Africa correspondent Anne Soy reports.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16A troubled beginning for the world's youngest nation.
0:21:16 > 0:21:21Tens of thousands have been killed.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23One in three here is displaced, and now they face
0:21:23 > 0:21:25the threat of famine.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29The youngest suffer most.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33This is the face of starvation.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Christine Jackson weighs half as much as she should
0:21:35 > 0:21:37at almost two years.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41She's now on life-saving treatment, but her father worries
0:21:41 > 0:21:44that he won't be able to feed her well when
0:21:44 > 0:21:47they get discharged.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Jackson should be one of the better off South Sudanese; he has
0:21:55 > 0:21:58a full-time job and a farm, but four years of civil
0:21:58 > 0:22:00war and high inflation have left him destitute,
0:22:00 > 0:22:04and there are many families like his.
0:22:04 > 0:22:09The doctor in charge here tells me this ward is always busy.
0:22:09 > 0:22:16So roughly how many children do you see in a month?
0:22:16 > 0:22:22In a month we receive around 80-100 cases.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Right, and that is just in the capital, Juba.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26This is the hospital that takes care of children
0:22:26 > 0:22:29from outside the capital, and this ward, really, is the one
0:22:29 > 0:22:34that takes care of the severely malnourished children.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37In Juba, one in ten children has been found to be
0:22:37 > 0:22:39severely malnourished, but then the statistics are higher
0:22:39 > 0:22:47outside the capital, where life is way more difficult.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51It is a harsh terrain and security has resulted in the death of more
0:22:51 > 0:22:55aid workers than anywhere else in the world.
0:22:55 > 0:22:56They are forced to use air transport, particularly
0:22:56 > 0:23:00in rebel controlled areas.
0:23:00 > 0:23:06We are not heading in with much food, and the violence has meant
0:23:06 > 0:23:09that many of the farmers have fled their farms and this
0:23:09 > 0:23:11will occur through July, when the next harvest begins
0:23:11 > 0:23:12to come in.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14So this is a crucial time in South Sudan.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17This is when we have do save the lives of the children.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19EXPLOSION.
0:23:19 > 0:23:25After decades of civil war, South Sudan gained independence
0:23:25 > 0:23:27from its northern neighbour, but its troubles were far from over.
0:23:27 > 0:23:32Fighting broke out between supporters of President Salva Kiir
0:23:32 > 0:23:36and the now expelled former vice president, Riek Machar.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39A number of ceasefire deals have been struck and broken -
0:23:39 > 0:23:40sometimes in a matter of hours.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44There was a peace process...
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Was violated by them.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49It was violated as soon as it was signed...
0:23:49 > 0:23:53It was violated by the Liberals.
0:23:53 > 0:23:54-- the rebels.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56By both the Liberals and government were to blame.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59No, because the rebels find themselves like a spoiled child
0:23:59 > 0:24:00and they can just do anything they want.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04With no end in sight to the fighting, these people
0:24:04 > 0:24:06are at the mercy of donors, and the youngest generation
0:24:06 > 0:24:09here suffers most.
0:24:09 > 0:24:14Anne Soy, BBC News, Juba.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18The former Labour cabinet minister Tessa Jowell
0:24:18 > 0:24:22has been given a very rare standing ovation in parliament,
0:24:22 > 0:24:24after making an emotional plea for a greater range of cancer
0:24:24 > 0:24:26treatments to be made available on the NHS.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29Baroness Jowell told peers of her treatment for brain cancer
0:24:29 > 0:24:30after her diagnosis last year, as our correspondent
0:24:30 > 0:24:34Helena Lee reports.
0:24:34 > 0:24:35Baroness Jowell...
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Hear, hear!
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Thank you very much indeed...
0:24:41 > 0:24:49In front of a captivated House, Baroness Jowell said today was not
0:24:49 > 0:24:51about politics but patience.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53She spoke frankly about her own cancer diagnosis last year.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57I got into a taxi but I couldn't speak.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00I had two powerful seizures.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03I was taken to hospital.
0:25:03 > 0:25:09Two days later, I was told that I had a brain tumour.
0:25:09 > 0:25:14A glioblastoma multiforme, or GMB.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18Today, she appealed on behalf of all cancer patients
0:25:18 > 0:25:21for new treatments to be made available on the NHS.
0:25:21 > 0:25:26The speeding up of clinical trials and better medical cooperation.
0:25:26 > 0:25:31They need to know that they have a community around them,
0:25:31 > 0:25:38supporting and caring, being practical and kind,
0:25:38 > 0:25:46while doctors look at the big picture and we can all be a part
0:25:47 > 0:25:49of the human sized picture.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Tonight, the Government agreed to look at her suggestions
0:25:51 > 0:25:56and at the end, she made a final appeal.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59What gives a life meaning is not only how it is lived,
0:25:59 > 0:26:02but how it draws to a close.
0:26:02 > 0:26:10I hope that this debate will give hope to other
0:26:10 > 0:26:12cancer patients like me, so that we can live well
0:26:12 > 0:26:20together with cancer, not just dying of it.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26All of us, for longer.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Thank you.
0:26:28 > 0:26:36APPLAUSE
0:26:45 > 0:26:49Today's events in the House of Lords. Moving scenes after that
0:26:49 > 0:26:53speech by Baroness Jowell.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Researchers have identified the remains of the earliest-known
0:26:55 > 0:26:56modern humans to have left Africa.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59A new dating of fossils found in a cave on Mount Carmel
0:26:59 > 0:27:02near Haifa in northern Israel, indicates that they left Africa up
0:27:02 > 0:27:06to 100,000 years earlier than previously thought.
0:27:06 > 0:27:11Our science correspondent Pallab Ghosh has the details.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13In the distant past, the first of our kind evolved in Africa.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16Our ancestors then left the continent and spread
0:27:16 > 0:27:18across the globe.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21Just when and how that happened is one of the biggest
0:27:21 > 0:27:25questions in human evolution.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29This fragment of a jawbone has shattered the current theory.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32It's rewritten the story of how we emerged on this planet.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35The jawbone was discovered, along with stone tools,
0:27:35 > 0:27:38in the Misliya Cave in northern Israel.
0:27:38 > 0:27:43A study, published in the General Science,
0:27:43 > 0:27:45shows that it's around 200,000 years old.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47That's tens of thousands of years older than scientists thought that
0:27:47 > 0:27:50modern humans first left Africa.
0:27:50 > 0:27:56I think that the whole biological history of our own species should be
0:27:56 > 0:28:00revised, because if we have modern humans here in Israel
0:28:00 > 0:28:04around 250,000 years, it implies that the origin
0:28:04 > 0:28:09of our species go back in time not to 250,000 or 200,000 years ago
0:28:09 > 0:28:15but probably much earlier, to around half a million years.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18Theories about how modern humans first evolved and spread may
0:28:18 > 0:28:23now have to be changed.
0:28:23 > 0:28:28The previous view that our species began to leave Africa 100,000 years
0:28:28 > 0:28:30ago, but the new discovery in Israel suggests it was much earlier,
0:28:30 > 0:28:34possibly 250,000 years ago.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36That means our species may have lived alongside other kinds
0:28:36 > 0:28:42of more primitive humans, who lived outside of Africa
0:28:42 > 0:28:45at the time, and that contact may have helped to shape our culture
0:28:45 > 0:28:48and the way we look.
0:28:48 > 0:28:53It changes, really, our understanding of the interaction
0:28:53 > 0:28:57between other populations, such as Neanderthals,
0:28:57 > 0:29:02if we say that we have modern Homo sapiens in our area in these dates.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05We have to reconsider all our knowledge regarding the environment,
0:29:05 > 0:29:07the ecology, the culture and our interbreeding
0:29:07 > 0:29:10with other populations.
0:29:10 > 0:29:15The current view is that we evolved relatively recently,
0:29:15 > 0:29:18just as other types of humans were dying out.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21But the new study suggests that we're a more ancient species that
0:29:21 > 0:29:23shared the planet with primitive humans for tens of
0:29:23 > 0:29:24thousands of years.
0:29:24 > 0:29:28Pallab Ghosh, BBC News.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30Tennis, and Kyle Edmund's brilliant run at the Australian Open
0:29:30 > 0:29:32came to an end this morning.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35He was overpowered in his first-ever grand slam semifinal
0:29:35 > 0:29:38in straight sets.
0:29:38 > 0:29:39The British number two was beaten 6-2, 7-6,
0:29:39 > 0:29:456-2 by the sixth seed Marin Cilic.
0:29:45 > 0:29:52Charles I was the greatest royal collector of art in British history.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55Among the masterpieces he acquired were works by Van Dyke,
0:29:55 > 0:29:56Rubens and Holbein.
0:29:56 > 0:29:57A major exhibition, opening this weekend,
0:29:57 > 0:29:59brings together around 150 of his most important
0:29:59 > 0:30:01paintings for the first time since the 17th Century.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03From the Royal Academy in London our arts editor
0:30:03 > 0:30:06Will Gompertz reports.
0:30:07 > 0:30:11The show starts by setting the scene.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13We meet the main protagonist, Charles I, King of England,
0:30:13 > 0:30:16Scotland and Ireland from 1625-1649.
0:30:16 > 0:30:22He had a great eye for art, as did his Mrs, Henrietta Maria.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25Both portraits were painted by this fella, the Flemish
0:30:25 > 0:30:29artist Anthony van Dyck, who Charles I hired as his court
0:30:29 > 0:30:33painter, or what we'd call nowadays as his artist in residence.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35He has two main focuses for his collection.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37That's Mantegna's Triumphs of Caesar, by the way.
0:30:37 > 0:30:43His first passion was for German, Flemish and Dutch artists
0:30:43 > 0:30:45of the Northern Renaissance, hence we have this wonderwall
0:30:45 > 0:30:48of Hans Holbein portraits, at the end of which is this absolute
0:30:48 > 0:30:53cracker of Robert Cheeseman, the Royal Falconer.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55His other great love was the artists of the Italian High Renaissance,
0:30:55 > 0:30:58people like Pisano and here, people like Tintoretto, who painted
0:30:58 > 0:31:00this dramatic, biblical scene.
0:31:00 > 0:31:04In just two decades, Charles and Henrietta amassed an art
0:31:04 > 0:31:07collection to rival any court in Europe, but it all came to a very
0:31:07 > 0:31:10abrupt end when Charles has his head chopped off and Oliver Cromwell
0:31:10 > 0:31:15flogs the lot.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18The collection was scattered to the four winds, which is
0:31:18 > 0:31:19the point of this exhibition.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21The Royal Academy is uniting, for the first time since 1649,
0:31:21 > 0:31:27as many of those famous artworks as it possibly can, including this
0:31:27 > 0:31:34hunting portrait of Charles I, which is now owned by the Louvre.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36In a way, this exhibition is a tragedy, a story
0:31:36 > 0:31:37of what could have been.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39Great masterpieces which were once owned by this country
0:31:39 > 0:31:41but are now owned by others.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43Take this wall of Titians, for example.
0:31:43 > 0:31:47The one on the left now belongs to the Prado in Madrid and the other
0:31:47 > 0:31:49two are the Louvre's in Paris.
0:31:49 > 0:31:50Still, that's the nature of things, I suppose.
0:31:50 > 0:31:54But this exhibition does make you wonder...
0:31:54 > 0:31:57What if Charles I hadn't lost his head and continued
0:31:57 > 0:31:59to collect at the same sort of rate?
0:31:59 > 0:32:00Britain would own, surely, the greatest collection
0:32:00 > 0:32:02of Renaissance art in the world.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05Mind you, he probably would have bankrupted the country.
0:32:05 > 0:32:11Will Gompertz, BBC News, the Royal Academy.
0:32:12 > 0:32:13That's
