0:00:00 > 0:00:01Tonight at Ten.
0:00:01 > 0:00:04Facebook under growing pressure to explain how it handles the data
0:00:04 > 0:00:08of its two billion users.
0:00:08 > 0:00:10Facebook's founder, Mark Zuckerberg, is called to answer questions,
0:00:10 > 0:00:13following claims that personal information about millions of users
0:00:13 > 0:00:21was gathered from the site without their permission.
0:00:21 > 0:00:23A British firm, Cambridge Analytica, is accused of using the data
0:00:23 > 0:00:25for political purposes in the US presidential election
0:00:25 > 0:00:29as regulators express concern about the way data is handled.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31Of course individuals should be careful and think
0:00:31 > 0:00:33twice about who they're sharing their information
0:00:33 > 0:00:36with but on the other hand it's really up to the companies to get
0:00:36 > 0:00:41this right and comply with the law.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43And tonight, the head of Cambridge Analytica
0:00:43 > 0:00:44has been suspended.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46His firm and Facebook both deny any wrongdoing.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47We'll have the latest.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Also tonight...
0:00:50 > 0:00:52A Red Arrows jet has crashed in North Wales.
0:00:52 > 0:00:57An engineer died, but the pilot survived.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Heading for Moscow, the 23 Russian diplomats expelled from the UK,
0:01:00 > 0:01:05following the chemical attack in Salisbury.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07A BBC investigation reveals young Rohingya girls,
0:01:07 > 0:01:09who fled the violence in Myanmar, are being trafficked
0:01:09 > 0:01:14into prostitution in Bangledesh.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17With the arrival of so many refugees in the nearby camps,
0:01:17 > 0:01:19there are even more vulnerable young people for the traffickers
0:01:19 > 0:01:23to prey upon.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26And, a report from Kenya on the northern white rhino -
0:01:26 > 0:01:34a species now on the brink of extinction.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36And coming up on Sportsday on BBC News:
0:01:36 > 0:01:37Ashley Young backs his Manchester United manager
0:01:37 > 0:01:40after a tumultuous few days on the sidelines and in front of
0:01:40 > 0:01:48the cameras for Jose Mourinho.
0:02:03 > 0:02:04Good evening.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06The social media giant, Facebook, is under growing pressure to explain
0:02:06 > 0:02:09the measures it's taking to secure the personal data of its two
0:02:09 > 0:02:13billion users worldwide.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15It's facing investigations by the US Federal Trade Commission,
0:02:15 > 0:02:18the UK's Information Commissioner, the European Parliament and a House
0:02:18 > 0:02:21of Commons committee.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23It follows allegations that information on millions
0:02:23 > 0:02:26of Facebook's users was gathered from the site and used for political
0:02:26 > 0:02:27purposes by the British firm Cambridge Analytica.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29That firm's Chief Executive, Alexander Nix, was suspended
0:02:29 > 0:02:30earlier this evening.
0:02:30 > 0:02:38Our business editor Simon Jack reports.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41In the information age, personal data is the new currency
0:02:41 > 0:02:43and we spend it liberally on social media platforms.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45How old we are, whether we are in a relationship,
0:02:45 > 0:02:50what are our political leanings, this can all be gathered and used.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Cambridge Analytica is a company which does exactly that
0:02:52 > 0:02:55and it is at the centre of a political storm that has
0:02:55 > 0:03:01rocked one of the biggest companies in the world.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04It started with an app designed by a British academic that invited
0:03:04 > 0:03:08Facebook users to do a personality test.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10270,000 people downloaded the app, it collected personal
0:03:10 > 0:03:11information on them, their friends, their friends'
0:03:11 > 0:03:16friends and so on until it had information on 50 million
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Facebook users.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21That data was passed to Cambridge Analytica,
0:03:21 > 0:03:24who allegedly used it to influence the presidential election in the US,
0:03:24 > 0:03:30using highly targeted messages, a charge denied by the company.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32The UK's data watchdog said she had concerns
0:03:32 > 0:03:37about the company for some time.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40These allegations are very serious, they came to the attention
0:03:40 > 0:03:42of our office some months ago.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45And on the 7th of March, I issued a demand for
0:03:45 > 0:03:46information from Cambridge.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49They did not comply with that, so now I am moving ahead to seek
0:03:49 > 0:03:56a warrant so that I can search premises and data.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00The company worked on Donald Trump's election campaign and secret filming
0:04:00 > 0:04:02by Channel 4 News shows Cambridge Analytica's boss
0:04:02 > 0:04:05boasting about the role they played in his victory.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31The company denies any wrongdoing.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34The company says Mr Nix's comments did not represent the values
0:04:34 > 0:04:36of the firm and it has now suspended him pending
0:04:36 > 0:04:37their own investigation.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Whether this tiny consultancy was really involved in influencing
0:04:40 > 0:04:42the US presidential election, there is an old adage,
0:04:42 > 0:04:44in digital marketing which says if the service you are getting
0:04:44 > 0:04:46is free, then you are the product.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Served up to advertisers who are convinced that highly
0:04:48 > 0:04:50targeted messages constructed around detailed personal
0:04:50 > 0:04:53information really works.
0:04:53 > 0:05:01Facebook is also right under the microscope.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03It too denies any wrongdoing.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06The US Federal Trade Commission has launched a probe
0:05:06 > 0:05:08into the company and has the power to levy colossal fines.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11The company has seen $50 billion wiped off its value
0:05:11 > 0:05:12in just the last two days.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15So, could this scandal mark a moment of reckoning for the way we share
0:05:15 > 0:05:17and companies use our personal data?
0:05:17 > 0:05:19I think for the first time, things that people suspected
0:05:19 > 0:05:23have surfaced thanks to the testimony of whistle-blowers.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Now we are finally seeing that the leaders of these companies
0:05:25 > 0:05:28are being called to testify in front of Parliaments.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31They are being held to account in the media, analysts
0:05:31 > 0:05:32in the financial industry are dumping their stock
0:05:32 > 0:05:36as a vote of no-confidence.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39This is a real moment where it is going to incentivise change.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41The facts of our lives are valuable.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has built a fortune out of them.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Politicians on both sides of the Atlantic want him personally
0:05:46 > 0:05:52to explain how they are used.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55In a moment we'll talk to North America Editor Jon Sopel
0:05:55 > 0:05:57in Washington, our media editor Amol Rajan in San Francisco
0:05:57 > 0:06:05but first to Simon Jack outside Cambridge Analytica's headquarters.
0:06:09 > 0:06:14Simon, tell us more about the reaction now during the course of
0:06:14 > 0:06:18the day.These rather modest offices, the second floor here have
0:06:18 > 0:06:23become the rather unlike the eye of a storm that has engulfed Facebook
0:06:23 > 0:06:27and drone in the politicians on both sides of the Atlantic. When the
0:06:27 > 0:06:30story broke, Cambridge Analytica said they had done nothing wrong,
0:06:30 > 0:06:34that the footage and reporting grossly misrepresented the position
0:06:34 > 0:06:39of the company, the executives were talking in hypotheticals. They had
0:06:39 > 0:06:46changed their tune and they are saying that the
0:06:56 > 0:06:58comments of the firm and he was suspended pending their own
0:06:58 > 0:07:00investigation. We heard politicians about today, Damian Collins, said he
0:07:00 > 0:07:02wanted to extend an invitation for a Mark Zuckerberg to appear in person
0:07:02 > 0:07:06to explain how this information got into the wrong hands. I should say
0:07:06 > 0:07:09that the company does not deny it worked on the Trump election what
0:07:09 > 0:07:15came by this information, it denies that it use that information in that
0:07:15 > 0:07:21campaign. On the financial markets, a lot of people rapidly friending
0:07:21 > 0:07:26Facebook, its shares have fallen by $50 billion. More than the entire
0:07:26 > 0:07:31value of the Ford motor company. Real implications for what is going
0:07:31 > 0:07:33on in.Thank you.
0:07:33 > 0:07:38And to Jon.
0:07:38 > 0:07:44There are concerns by regulators as well. Yes. You're in the position
0:07:44 > 0:07:48where Cambridge Analytica are either telling falsehoods, which is not a
0:07:48 > 0:07:52good look or it is telling the truth, in which case, it could be in
0:07:52 > 0:07:57a whole heap of trouble with lawmakers here. They claim to have
0:07:57 > 0:08:01been responsible for the entire digital strategy of the Trump
0:08:01 > 0:08:08campaign, of the crooked Hillary campaign well. Leave to one side
0:08:08 > 0:08:10whether Donald Trump will accept that Cambridge Analytica were
0:08:10 > 0:08:14responsible for the election victory but some of the claims they make
0:08:14 > 0:08:17about coordinating between the Trump campaign and some of what they call,
0:08:17 > 0:08:22super packs, that are meant to be entirely independent of the
0:08:22 > 0:08:25campaign, that would breach US electoral la and that could cause
0:08:25 > 0:08:32problems. Then there is Mark Zuckerberg, if he has been called to
0:08:32 > 0:08:36come and give evidence, he has a bunker on his estate, I don't think
0:08:36 > 0:08:43that will protect them from the rout of lawmakers on Capitol Hill.
0:08:43 > 0:08:48And to Amol Rajan...
0:08:48 > 0:08:52What is the pressure on the company? Facebook is facing its biggest
0:08:52 > 0:08:58crisis since the company was founded in 2004. Tens of billions wiped from
0:08:58 > 0:09:01its stock market value, you have the resignation of a senior figure in
0:09:01 > 0:09:06the company and the mood here is one of banks and anxiety and investors
0:09:06 > 0:09:11are getting uppity and talking about rebelling. It has got to be said
0:09:11 > 0:09:16that the response to this crisis has made things worse. Earlier this
0:09:16 > 0:09:30afternoon, there was a meeting and Mark Zuckerberg was not there.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52The Chief Operating Officer was not there. I have just spoken to a
0:09:52 > 0:09:54senior executive who said that they were taking the time to gather the
0:09:54 > 0:09:57facts and when the revelations first came to light, the company said it
0:09:57 > 0:09:59was not a data breach. It could have been something worse, the mass
0:09:59 > 0:10:02harvesting of the data of millions of people without them knowing. This
0:10:02 > 0:10:05is making people wake up that for all its innovation, Facebook is a
0:10:05 > 0:10:07mass surveillance tool that used to be about selling products which is
0:10:07 > 0:10:09now selling politics as well and that has implications for western
0:10:09 > 0:10:11democracy and Facebook have not got their head around it.Thank you.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14The Royal Air Force has announced that a member of its Red Arrows
0:10:14 > 0:10:17aerobatic team has died in a crash in North Wales.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20The engineer was killed when a Hawk jet came down near the RAF
0:10:20 > 0:10:21Valley base on Anglesey earlier this afternoon.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23The pilot, who is injured and receiving medical
0:10:23 > 0:10:24care, managed to eject.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27There are no details about the cause of the crash,
0:10:27 > 0:10:34as our Wales correspondent Sian Lloyd reports.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37The remains of the Hawk vast jet, which crashed within minutes
0:10:37 > 0:10:39of taking off from RAF Valley.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Two members of the Red Arrows display team were on board.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Plumes of smoke were captured by people walking
0:10:45 > 0:10:49on the nearby sand dunes.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53Later, confirmation came that a crew member had died.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56The engineer's family have been informed, and have asked for a 24
0:10:56 > 0:10:59hour period of grace before further details are released.
0:10:59 > 0:11:04A pilot of the aircraft survived the incident and is currently
0:11:04 > 0:11:07receiving medical care.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11An air ambulance arrived within 20 minutes of the tragedy taking place,
0:11:11 > 0:11:16and fire crews were quickly at the scene.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20As night fell, the investigation continued.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24Peter Glover saw what happened from his nearby caravan.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28The canopy come off, I saw a chute open, and the plane
0:11:28 > 0:11:34just hit the ground severely hit the ground, and a massive bang,
0:11:34 > 0:11:36and a massive bang, then a bowl of smoke.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40The Red Arrows aerobatics team are famous for their displays.
0:11:40 > 0:11:45The two crew members had been training on Anglesey,
0:11:45 > 0:11:47and the jet was returning to its base at RAF Scampton
0:11:47 > 0:11:50in Lincolnshire, when it came down.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54We're not expecting any further details to emerge of what happened
0:11:54 > 0:11:57until well into tomorrow, but tonight, the thoughts of those
0:11:57 > 0:12:00here and across the service with the families of the two people
0:12:00 > 0:12:01involved in this crash.
0:12:01 > 0:12:09Sian Lloyd, News, RAF Valley.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Twenty-three Russian diplomats and their families have left the UK,
0:12:11 > 0:12:16after they were expelled in the wake of the Salisbury poisoning attack.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18They left on a plane bound for Moscow this afternoon,
0:12:18 > 0:12:21as Theresa May chaired a meeting of the National Security Council.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Ministers have again accused Russia of involvement in the attempted
0:12:23 > 0:12:26murder of former spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia,
0:12:26 > 0:12:34as our diplomatic correspondent James Landale reports.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43This report contains flashing images.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46It was dubbed 'expulsion day' - the moment Russian diplomats
0:12:46 > 0:12:49and their families began the long journey home from their embassy
0:12:49 > 0:12:51in London, sent packing after their government was blamed
0:12:51 > 0:12:53by Britain for the nerve agent attack in Salisbury.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Those staying behind gathered outside to hug their colleagues,
0:12:55 > 0:12:58wave goodbye, and yes, shed the odd tear, as the long
0:12:58 > 0:13:04cavalcade of coaches and cars left for the airport.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07In a tweet, the Russian ambassador bade farewell to his colleagues,
0:13:07 > 0:13:15after what he called 'the hostile move of the UK Government'.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22At Stansted, the ambassador stood at the aircraft steps to shake
0:13:22 > 0:13:24the hands of the 23 departing diplomats accused by Britain
0:13:24 > 0:13:25of being undeclared intelligence officers.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27His embassy said that with spouses and children,
0:13:27 > 0:13:30about 80 people were leaving in total in what's the biggest
0:13:30 > 0:13:36expulsion of Russian diplomats from Britain since the Cold War.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38This afternoon, the Russian plane carrying its diplomatic cargo
0:13:38 > 0:13:46finally took off from Moscow.
0:13:46 > 0:13:47finally took off for Moscow.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50This weekend, British diplomats will travel in the opposite direction.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Today, the Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson confirmed that the former
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Russian intelligence officers Sergei Skripal and his daughter
0:13:54 > 0:13:58Yulia have been in a coma since they were poisoned two weeks ago.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Morning! What's our next move against the Russians?
0:14:01 > 0:14:04Ministers gathered to decide what Britain should do next.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Russia's already announced that 23 British diplomats must leave
0:14:06 > 0:14:12Moscow by the weekend.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14In the end, the government decided not to impose further
0:14:14 > 0:14:16sanctions on Russia.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19It wants to avoid a bilateral tit-for-tat row and instead keep up
0:14:19 > 0:14:25the European and international pressure on Moscow.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28A task made harder today by the European Commission President
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Jean-Claude Juncker controversially writing to President Putin
0:14:31 > 0:14:32congratulating him on his re-election.
0:14:32 > 0:14:37James Langdale, BBC News in Downing Street.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40A two-year-old girl has died after being pulled from a car
0:14:40 > 0:14:42in the River Teifi in west Wales. Kiara Moore was found
0:14:42 > 0:14:45in the vehicle in the river in the town of Cardigan.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48Dyfed-Powys Police have described her death as a 'tragic incident' --
0:14:48 > 0:14:50and say they're not looking for anyone else in
0:14:50 > 0:14:53connection with the case.
0:14:58 > 0:14:58Enter
0:14:58 > 0:15:02There's been a bigger than expected fall in the rate of inflation,
0:15:02 > 0:15:04the latest figures show that prices rose by 2.7% last month,
0:15:04 > 0:15:08compared with 3% in January.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11A small drop in petrol prices and a slower rise in the cost
0:15:11 > 0:15:16of food were some of the factors cited, as our economics editor,
0:15:16 > 0:15:17Kamal Ahmed, explains now.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Mixing in a new ingredient, after over a year of rising
0:15:20 > 0:15:23inflation, today better news - the rate is falling, as food costs
0:15:23 > 0:15:29ease and fuel costs drop.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33Inflation can often start here, firms that make the stuff we buy.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36If their costs are cut, then prices for us often go the same way.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38There's not many costs that are coming down,
0:15:38 > 0:15:40but the two things we have identified are distribution
0:15:40 > 0:15:42costs for us.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44We've definitely seen those ease off, but also
0:15:44 > 0:15:45in digital and technology.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49For millions of people, today's fall in inflation brings
0:15:49 > 0:15:53into sharp focus one of the most important issues facing the UK
0:15:53 > 0:16:00economy - that income squeeze.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Prices rising faster than wages, leaving people worse
0:16:02 > 0:16:05off month by month.
0:16:05 > 0:16:06Today, a glimmer of hope.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10With inflation easing and wage rises strengthening,
0:16:10 > 0:16:14could that income squeeze be coming to an end this year?
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Before 2017, wages were rising faster than prices, meaning that
0:16:17 > 0:16:22people were slightly better off each month.
0:16:22 > 0:16:27Then last year that reversed, inflation rose quickly
0:16:27 > 0:16:30following the Brexit referendum, which saw a fall in the value
0:16:30 > 0:16:33of the pound and an increase in the price of imports.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Now the pound is stronger, the rate of inflation is falling
0:16:36 > 0:16:39and wages are catching up.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43Could those lines cross in 2018?
0:16:43 > 0:16:47The impact of the fall in the pound, of course, meant that imported
0:16:47 > 0:16:47inflation was quite high.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50That effect is fading.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Increasingly now we're seeing inflation coming
0:16:52 > 0:16:54from domestic sources.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56So higher wage growth in particular is driving up costs.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Inflation risk has not drained away and wage growth will keep minds
0:16:59 > 0:17:01focused at the Bank of England.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04It's signalled that it will raise interest rates in the next few
0:17:04 > 0:17:05months to control any future price rises.
0:17:05 > 0:17:13Kamal Ahmed, BBC News.
0:17:15 > 0:17:20A BBC investigation has revealed that Rohingya girls as young as 13,
0:17:20 > 0:17:23who fled Myanmar in the past six months, are being trafficked
0:17:23 > 0:17:27into prostitution in Bangledesh.
0:17:27 > 0:17:33The undercover team filmed traffickers openly offering
0:17:33 > 0:17:38the girls for sex in Cox's Bazar, the town nearest to the refugee
0:17:38 > 0:17:40camps, where hundreds of thousands of Rohingya Muslims now live.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42The BBC's Mishal Husain has the story.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45A small city on the Bay of Bengal, where the main business was tourism,
0:17:45 > 0:17:49is now the hub for aid agencies working in the nearby refugee camps.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52But alongside the shop fronts, the beachside bars and the hotels
0:17:52 > 0:17:56of Cox's Bazar there's an open secret.
0:17:56 > 0:18:02After hearing repeated stories about children
0:18:02 > 0:18:06trafficked into prostitution, we went in search of the evidence.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10One 14-year-old Rohingya girl we met in the camps,
0:18:10 > 0:18:12and whose identity we've protected, told me what happened
0:18:12 > 0:18:16to her as she crossed from Myanmar into Bangladesh.
0:18:16 > 0:18:21TRANSLATION:Women came with a van, they asked me if I'd go with them.
0:18:21 > 0:18:26Not long after that, in a building in Cox's Bazar,
0:18:26 > 0:18:31they brought two boys to me.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35They showed me a knife and punched me in my tummy and beat me
0:18:35 > 0:18:38because I wasn't cooperating.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Then the boys raped me.
0:18:41 > 0:18:48I wasn't willing to have sex, but they kept going.
0:18:48 > 0:18:53We heard other accounts from girls of a similar age.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56A 13-year-old told me she was lured out of the camp by a woman
0:18:56 > 0:19:00from within the Rohingya community offering her work.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03With the desperate conditions the refugees are living in,
0:19:03 > 0:19:06her family agreed to let her go.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09TRANSLATION:She came to my home.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12We know her.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14She said, "You're not being fed properly, come
0:19:14 > 0:19:17with me to Cox's Bazar, I will give you a job."
0:19:17 > 0:19:21When we got there, she put me in a hotel in the morning.
0:19:21 > 0:19:26By the afternoon, a boy was put in my room.
0:19:26 > 0:19:31He beat me and raped me.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34I asked the woman, "Why I should do this"?
0:19:34 > 0:19:42She told me, "If you don't do this, I will kill you."
0:19:44 > 0:19:47After only 48-hours on the ground, our team had identified a number
0:19:47 > 0:19:52of people offering children for sex.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55This was one of them, not only boasting about his own collection
0:19:55 > 0:19:59of women and children, but of a network of traffickers,
0:19:59 > 0:20:02all of whom had more than ten girls under their control.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05We had to be careful not to create a demand and asked for girls
0:20:05 > 0:20:10who were immediately available.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13We were offered these three and told they were all Rohingyas,
0:20:13 > 0:20:17aged between 13 and 17.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21We went to the police and told them what we had found.
0:20:21 > 0:20:27They agreed to conduct an operation that same evening.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31Our undercover investigator posed as a client who wanted to have sex
0:20:31 > 0:20:35with children and arranged with the trafficker for the delivery
0:20:35 > 0:20:37of two young girls to a hotel.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Bring the girls down here.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42As we waited, the trafficker sent a scout.
0:20:42 > 0:20:508.00pm, red hoodie.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59He asked our investigator to go with him, but we needed
0:20:59 > 0:21:00the trafficker to come to us.
0:21:00 > 0:21:01He's away with the girls.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03He appeared to change his mind.
0:21:03 > 0:21:04We are go, we are go.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07But when the girls arrived, it was a driver who was with them
0:21:07 > 0:21:09and who collected the money.
0:21:09 > 0:21:10How it's going?
0:21:10 > 0:21:1214, 15, 16 and and two for you.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Ask him, if tonight's good, can they get more?
0:21:14 > 0:21:15We handed over around £140.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18As soon as the deal was done, the police moved in.
0:21:18 > 0:21:26Come on, girls. Hey, come here.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33The girls were two of those we'd seen in the photograph.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37As they were taken aside and into safety, they told
0:21:37 > 0:21:41us they were 15 and 21 and that their families
0:21:41 > 0:21:47depended on the money they made from sex work.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50What the two girls told me here tonight reveals so much
0:21:50 > 0:21:54about how they and others like them get trapped in the sex
0:21:54 > 0:21:56industry in Cox's Bazar.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58They've never been to school and have no idea how
0:21:58 > 0:22:02they would support themselves without this work.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05And with the arrival of so many refugees in the nearby camps,
0:22:05 > 0:22:08there are even more vulnerable young people for the traffickers
0:22:08 > 0:22:13to prey upon.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Childcare professionals and trafficking experts
0:22:15 > 0:22:17helped us to arrange care for the girls afterwards.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20The younger one went into the care of social services,
0:22:20 > 0:22:24but the 21-year-old refused.
0:22:24 > 0:22:30We handed over all the information we had to the police.
0:22:30 > 0:22:36But the trafficker is still at large, part of an established
0:22:36 > 0:22:44network that puts children into sex work here and, as our
0:22:44 > 0:22:46investigation found, also sends them further afield,
0:22:46 > 0:22:47to India and Nepal.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Now the presence of a large refugee population, including many
0:22:50 > 0:22:51unaccompanied children, is providing easy pickings
0:22:51 > 0:22:53for the traffickers and another danger for the Rohingya people.
0:22:53 > 0:23:01Mishal Husain, BBC News, Bangladesh.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26The parents of a 6 year-old boy, with a rare form of epilepsy,
0:23:26 > 0:23:29say they've been told that a special licence will be granted
0:23:29 > 0:23:31for their son to use cannabis oil on compassionate grounds
0:23:31 > 0:23:38to treat his condition.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42Alfie Dingley was joined by his family
0:23:42 > 0:23:45and the actor Sir Patrick Stewart as they handed in a petition
0:23:45 > 0:23:46at Downing Street earlier today.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50His parents say cannabis oil, which is illegal even
0:23:50 > 0:23:53for medical use in the UK, will help control his seizures.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56The Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, has suggested that plans to reform
0:23:56 > 0:23:58the adult social care system in England will include a cap
0:23:58 > 0:24:00on the cost of care.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Mr Hunt has set out seven key principles which he says
0:24:02 > 0:24:04will guide the changes, acknowledging that patients
0:24:04 > 0:24:06with conditions such as dementia faced a far greater financial burden
0:24:06 > 0:24:08than those with other illnesses.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10The Government is due to publish its strategy later this year.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Our social affairs correspondent, Alison Holt, reports.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14OK, Charles? Are you going to watch...
0:24:14 > 0:24:15Charles, are you going to watch Ginge?
0:24:15 > 0:24:18The care system in England is a punitive lottery
0:24:18 > 0:24:25for people like Charles Major, who has dementia, according
0:24:30 > 0:24:32to today's speech by the Health and Care Secretary.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35Here at Woodbury Manor in north London, he gets good care,
0:24:35 > 0:24:38but his wife who used to look after him at home had to fight
0:24:38 > 0:24:40for the local authority's support they needed.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42They don't have funding, enough funding, for everyone.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45And I think you've got to really get to the state where you're
0:24:45 > 0:24:47at rock bottom before they really take notice of you.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Here, care staff work alongside NHS nurses to assess
0:24:50 > 0:24:52the needs of residents.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54The government sees more integrated services like this
0:24:54 > 0:24:56as a key principle for the future.
0:24:56 > 0:25:04It also acknowledges staff need to feel more valued.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Sometimes I just get frustrated, fed up and say, you know,
0:25:13 > 0:25:15the money is so small. I cannot cope.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18The pressures that come with an ageing population mean
0:25:18 > 0:25:19something has to change.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22By 2026, one in five people in the UK will be 65 and over.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24By then, more than a million people will have dementia.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27But by 2020, councils in England estimate there will be
0:25:27 > 0:25:29a £2.3 billion shortfall in care funding.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33As the Secretary of State set out his principles
0:25:33 > 0:25:41for a better care system today, he indicated a Green paper
0:25:45 > 0:25:48on funding, due this summer, will contain a cap on care costs
0:25:48 > 0:25:49to give people more certainty.
0:25:49 > 0:25:57They want to have a sense that, even if they're unlucky enough
0:26:00 > 0:26:03to get an illness like dementia, which affects one in three over 65s,
0:26:03 > 0:26:05it can potentially clean you out of your life savings,
0:26:05 > 0:26:07people want some security and comfort that that
0:26:07 > 0:26:10isn't going to happen. At the moment, that is what happens.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Whilst the principles have been broadly welcomed
0:26:12 > 0:26:15to many in the care sector, they want to know if enough money
0:26:15 > 0:26:17will be there to fix a system that is struggling.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20It will only be real if money comes with the principles.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23He now needs to go and discuss with colleagues in the government
0:26:23 > 0:26:26the amount of funding needed, both new money and the money that
0:26:26 > 0:26:28currently may be spent in the NHS that could be better spent
0:26:28 > 0:26:29in social care.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32And with the care system already under great strain,
0:26:32 > 0:26:34the Government knows it will be under increasing pressure to make
0:26:34 > 0:26:37sure that these plans for reform really do lead to change.
0:26:37 > 0:26:38Alison Holt, BBC News.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40The northern white rhino is a species on the brink
0:26:40 > 0:26:43of extinction following the death of a 45-year-old male in Kenya,
0:26:43 > 0:26:49the last of his kind in the world.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52His name was Sudan, he was put down on Monday after his health
0:26:52 > 0:26:53problems worsened significantly.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55His daughter and granddaughter are the only female
0:26:55 > 0:26:56northern white rhinos left.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Our correspondent, Alistair Leithead, reports from Kenya.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00And then there were two - the last remaining northern
0:27:00 > 0:27:03white rhinos on earth, now that the last male, Sudan,
0:27:03 > 0:27:09has died of old age.
0:27:09 > 0:27:15A subspecies of rhino ever closer to extension.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18One is Najin, 27-years-old, Sudan's daughter.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21The other is Fatu, his teenage granddaughter.
0:27:21 > 0:27:29The last of what was once a great species that roamed central Africa.
0:27:29 > 0:27:34This was Sudan, and for the last few years scientists
0:27:34 > 0:27:36and conservationists have been trying to get him to mate.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39They even put the 45-year-old on Tinder as part of
0:27:39 > 0:27:41a publicity campaign.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43There was no other animal quite like him.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46It highlights first and foremost the fact that human greed
0:27:46 > 0:27:48and sometimes human activities that are not controlled can drive
0:27:48 > 0:27:52species to extinction.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55The last wild northern white rhinos were seen
0:27:55 > 0:28:01here in Garamba National Park, in the Northern Democratic
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Republic of Congo, but that was many years ago.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06They became extinct in the wild in 2008.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09Well, Fatu and Najin are now the last two remaining
0:28:09 > 0:28:16northern white rhinos, and obviously they're both females.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18They're here under armed guard 24-hours a day,
0:28:18 > 0:28:22such is the continuing threat to these animals from poachers.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24They are now incredibly rare.
0:28:24 > 0:28:28There are only 30,000 rhinos left on the planet and Sudan
0:28:28 > 0:28:33was unusual for his kind, in that he died of old age.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36Now it's up to the scientists and a never before tried fertility
0:28:36 > 0:28:39treatment in a last gasp effort to save these animals
0:28:39 > 0:28:42from extinction.
0:28:42 > 0:28:50Alastair Leithead, BBC News, in northern Kenya.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52More than 50 years after The Beatles were awarded MBEs at
0:28:52 > 0:28:58Buckingham Palace their drummer, Ringo Starr, has returned
0:28:58 > 0:29:00today to receive a knighthood.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02The musician, who was presented with the honour by the Duke
0:29:02 > 0:29:05of Cambridge, spoke of his shock at being given the award
0:29:05 > 0:29:09in recognition of his services to music.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12Next month a team of pilots, paramedics and doctors
0:29:12 > 0:29:14from the London Air Ambulance will take on the toughest
0:29:14 > 0:29:17foot race on earth.
0:29:17 > 0:29:24It's called the Marathon des Sables, and they'll be running 150 miles
0:29:24 > 0:29:27across the Sahara Desert - six marathons in six days -
0:29:27 > 0:29:30carrying all their own kit to raise money for the air ambulance charity.
0:29:30 > 0:29:38And running with them will be former patients and families
0:29:38 > 0:29:40who owe them their lives in many cases.
0:29:40 > 0:29:41Sophie Raworth went to meet them.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43There are some flashing images in the report.
0:29:43 > 0:29:47I remember wheels turning across me, and then I don't remember the impact
0:29:47 > 0:29:49as such, but I remember being on the floor, and really
0:29:49 > 0:29:52panicking because I tried to get up and I couldn't move my legs.
0:29:52 > 0:29:53She was deathly white.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56She had lost a lot of blood, she looked like she was dying.
0:29:56 > 0:29:57Can you hear me?
0:29:57 > 0:30:00Three years ago, Vicky Labrecque was cycling to work
0:30:00 > 0:30:02when she was knocked off her bike by a lorry.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05Vicky, what we're going to do now is we're going to give
0:30:05 > 0:30:06you an anaesthetic.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08Her life was saved thanks to a pioneering medical technique
0:30:08 > 0:30:10carried out at the roadside.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13So we really need to then crack on and get her into the ambulance
0:30:13 > 0:30:16and get her to the Royal London as quick as we can.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18I mean, if it hadn't been for the air ambulance then
0:30:18 > 0:30:21I wouldn't be here because they're the only people that
0:30:21 > 0:30:23do this procedure and, if that hadn't happened,
0:30:23 > 0:30:25then I would definitely be dead.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27They managed to save her life, but the surgeon, Tom Koenig,
0:30:27 > 0:30:31wasn't able to save her leg.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34Now, three years later, he will be part a team of medics
0:30:34 > 0:30:36and patients heading to the Sahara to raise money for
0:30:36 > 0:30:38the air ambulance.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41Running alongside will be another cyclist, who also owes her life
0:30:41 > 0:30:42to London Air Ambulance.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44I remember it happening.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47I remember going under the wheel, trying to get the wheel off,
0:30:47 > 0:30:49trying to speak to the driver afterwards to say sorry,
0:30:49 > 0:30:53because I thought I was going to die and he would have to live with that.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55Chloe Baker, now a doctor, was a medical student
0:30:55 > 0:30:57when she was knocked off her bike 11 years ago.
0:30:57 > 0:31:02The pilot who came to rescue her remembers that day vividly.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04This patient was self-diagnosing herself and she, being a medic
0:31:04 > 0:31:07of some sort, knew what she thought she'd done, which is really
0:31:07 > 0:31:09rare, and we've never really heard of before.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12For Chloe, just over 15 minutes to get a trauma team
0:31:12 > 0:31:15service right next to her, I think that makes a massive
0:31:15 > 0:31:20difference to any patient in that situation.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23Chloe now works alongside the team who saved her,
0:31:23 > 0:31:27and in three weeks' time they'll all be swapping the London chill
0:31:27 > 0:31:33for the Saharan sun.
0:31:33 > 0:31:39Sophie Raworth reporting there.
0:31:39 > 0:31:47Newsnight is coming up on BBC Two.
