Tonight at Ten: Another plunge
in relations between Britain | 0:00:08 | 0:00:10 | |
and Russia, as Boris Johnson
compares President Putin | 0:00:10 | 0:00:12 | |
to Adolf Hitler. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:15 | |
In Moscow, foreign diplomats
are summoned to hear an official | 0:00:15 | 0:00:18 | |
denial of any involvement
in the chemical attack | 0:00:18 | 0:00:20 | |
which happened in Salisbury. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:23 | |
During the day, as inspectors
continued their investigation | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
in the Salisbury area,
the Foreign Secretary suggested that | 0:00:26 | 0:00:29 | |
Russia would use the forthcoming
World Cup like Adolf Hitler had used | 0:00:29 | 0:00:32 | |
the Olympics in 1936. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:36 | |
What is going to happen in Moscow,
in the World Cup, in all the venues, | 0:00:36 | 0:00:40 | |
yes, I think the comparison
with 1936 is certainly right. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:46 | |
We'll have reaction from Moscow
and from Washington, | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
where President Trump has
congratulated Mr Putin | 0:00:49 | 0:00:51 | |
on his re-election. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:52 | |
Also tonight: | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
More than a million NHS workers
in England are set to get pay | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
rises worth at least 6.5%
over three years. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:02 | |
It's nice for us to be recognised
for all that hard work. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
But, obviously, it doesn't detract
away from the last few | 0:01:05 | 0:01:08 | |
years, where we actually
haven't had anything. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:12 | |
Mark Zuckerberg has admitted that
Facebook made mistakes | 0:01:12 | 0:01:14 | |
in mishandling data belonging
to some 50 million of its users. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:19 | |
A senior police officer says
the rise in people killed | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
and injured by knife crime should be
causing far more public concern. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:27 | |
And a family from Bristol
is set a challenge - | 0:01:27 | 0:01:30 | |
to see if they can live
without single-use | 0:01:30 | 0:01:32 | |
plastic for ten days. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:38 | |
Coming up on BBC News. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:39 | |
Fresh from his first tournament
victory in 18 months, | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
Rory McIlroy struggles in his first
match since at the World | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
Matchplay in Texas. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:52 | |
Good evening. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:08 | |
The tensions between Britain
and Russia have deepened | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
following Boris Johnson's latest
reflections on the chemical | 0:02:11 | 0:02:15 | |
attack in Salisbury,
when a former Russian spy | 0:02:15 | 0:02:17 | |
and his daughter were poisoned. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:19 | |
The Foreign Secretary -
answering questions | 0:02:19 | 0:02:20 | |
from a parliamentary committee -
drew parallels between | 0:02:20 | 0:02:24 | |
President Putin and Adolf Hitler,
and suggested that Mr Putin | 0:02:24 | 0:02:29 | |
would try to use the forthcoming
football World Cup in Russia in much | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
the same way that Adolf Hitler used
the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:36 | |
Moscow said that Mr Johnson was
"poisoned with hatred and malice." | 0:02:36 | 0:02:42 | |
Our Moscow correspondent,
Steve Rosenberg, has more details. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:46 | |
It was an invitation
that some had refused. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:51 | |
REPORTER: Ambassador, why
are you taking part in this meeting? | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
But these foreign diplomats had
accepted, to come and hear | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
Moscow's side of the story
on the nerve agent attack. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
Britain sent a diplomat
to the Foreign Ministry, | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
but the British Ambassador stayed
away. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
This is what he missed. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:10 | |
TRANSLATION: The British authorities
are either unable to ensure | 0:03:10 | 0:03:18 | |
protection from such a terrorist
act on their territory | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
or they themselves, | 0:03:21 | 0:03:22 | |
directly or indirectly,
I'm not accusing anyone, | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
have directed this attack
against a Russian citizen. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
Hello my name is Emma Nottingham,
I'm from the British Embassy. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |
Off camera, the British
diplomat hits back. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:32 | |
Sergei Skripal and his daughter
Yulia were poisoned with a military | 0:03:32 | 0:03:39 | |
grade Novichok nerve agent of a type
developed by Russia, | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
in what we see as an attempted
assassination attempt. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:49 | |
"What's going on in their
heads", he replies. | 0:03:54 | 0:04:02 | |
"Take a break from your Russophobia
and your island mentality." | 0:04:02 | 0:04:04 | |
ARCHIVE: Berlin's great day
dawns with the arrival | 0:04:04 | 0:04:06 | |
of the Olympic Flame... | 0:04:06 | 0:04:07 | |
In Britain, a Labour MP suggested
that Vladimir Putin would use | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
the World Cup like Adolf Hitler had
used the 1936 Olympics - | 0:04:10 | 0:04:12 | |
to cover up, as he put it,
a brutal, corrupt regime. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:15 | |
The Foreign Secretary agreed. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:16 | |
I think the comparison with 1936
is certainly right and I think it's | 0:04:16 | 0:04:19 | |
an emetic prospect, frankly,
to think of Putin glorying | 0:04:19 | 0:04:21 | |
in this sporting event. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:28 | |
Tonight, Moscow reacted to
Boris Johnson's comments with fury. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:35 | |
The Russian Foreign Ministry said
the Foreign Secretary was "poisoned | 0:04:35 | 0:04:38 | |
with hatred and malice,
incompetence and loutishness." | 0:04:38 | 0:04:42 | |
Meanwhile, Russia's
propaganda machine tries | 0:04:42 | 0:04:44 | |
to discredit Sergei Skripal. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:52 | |
We witnessed this bizarre webcast,
where two convicted murderers | 0:04:55 | 0:04:57 | |
claimed to be ex-cellmates
of the former double agent. | 0:04:57 | 0:05:00 | |
On air they accused him of drug
addiction, even paedophilia. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:03 | |
But after the show, one of them
admits to me he saw nothing. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:11 | |
"It was just empty gossip." | 0:05:17 | 0:05:18 | |
The poisoning in Salisbury has
spawned an information war, | 0:05:18 | 0:05:20 | |
one Moscow is determined to win. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:21 | |
Steve Rosenberg, BBC News, Moscow. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:25 | |
In a moment we'll speak
to our North America editor, | 0:05:25 | 0:05:28 | |
Jon Sopel, but first
to our diplomatic | 0:05:28 | 0:05:30 | |
correspondent, James Landale,
at the Foreign Office. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:34 | |
James, what is your reading of
relations between London and Moscow | 0:05:34 | 0:05:37 | |
right now? Well, Huw, in recent days
there have been Harare shall words | 0:05:37 | 0:05:43 | |
between Russian and British
politicians. Comparing Vladimir | 0:05:43 | 0:05:46 | |
Putin to Adolf Hitler probably tops
the list. To realise just how | 0:05:46 | 0:05:53 | |
incendiary the comparison is you
have to remember millions upon | 0:05:53 | 0:05:56 | |
millions of Russians died fighting
Adolf Hitler's Nazis. Now the | 0:05:56 | 0:06:00 | |
Foreign Office here has been keen to
keep this an international | 0:06:00 | 0:06:04 | |
confrontation, they have been
marshalling allies against what they | 0:06:04 | 0:06:08 | |
see as Russia's international
pattern of aggressive material. That | 0:06:08 | 0:06:11 | |
is why the British Government hasn't
retaliated against Russia's decision | 0:06:11 | 0:06:17 | |
to expel 23 British diplomats. They
want to keep it from being seen as | 0:06:17 | 0:06:21 | |
some kind of bilateral spat between
London and Moscow. The problem, is | 0:06:21 | 0:06:25 | |
Mr Johnson's remarks risk doing
exactly that. Tomorrow, when Theresa | 0:06:25 | 0:06:28 | |
May goes to Brussels, she will have
just a little bit more work to do to | 0:06:28 | 0:06:33 | |
reassure European allies who might
be feeling a bit fearful now of | 0:06:33 | 0:06:36 | |
getting caught up in an increasingly
diplomatic cross fire between London | 0:06:36 | 0:06:41 | |
and Moscow. James many thanks, James
Landale at the Foreign Office for | 0:06:41 | 0:06:45 | |
us. Straight to Washington and Jon
Sopel is there. Jon, is it fair to | 0:06:45 | 0:06:50 | |
say the signals from The White House
towards Moscow are slightly conle | 0:06:50 | 0:06:53 | |
conning? If I was allowed to scratch
my head on the Ten O'Clock News I | 0:06:53 | 0:06:58 | |
would. Frankly, it's bewildering the
mixed messages we are getting. | 0:06:58 | 0:07:02 | |
Donald Trump in the past couple
hoursals tweeted -- hours has | 0:07:02 | 0:07:12 | |
tweeted. Forget the fake news media
we know as a result of a leak from | 0:07:12 | 0:07:18 | |
The White House that his own
briefing document counselling | 0:07:18 | 0:07:22 | |
against congratulating Putin put
because there are questions marks | 0:07:22 | 0:07:24 | |
over whether it was a free and fair
election. Many Republicans are | 0:07:24 | 0:07:28 | |
furious with the President over
this. But then the President had a | 0:07:28 | 0:07:33 | |
conversation with Emmanuel Macron
today. This is the official readout | 0:07:33 | 0:07:36 | |
from the White House, "the President
reiterated their solidarity with the | 0:07:36 | 0:07:40 | |
United Kingdom in the wake of
Russia's use of chemical weapons | 0:07:40 | 0:07:45 | |
against private citizens on British
soil and agreed on the need to take | 0:07:45 | 0:07:49 | |
action to hold Russia accountable."
One interpretation is that you have | 0:07:49 | 0:07:54 | |
Donald Trump looking both ways in
regard to Russia policy. The other | 0:07:54 | 0:07:58 | |
way of looking at it is that he's
not critical of Vladimir Putin at | 0:07:58 | 0:08:01 | |
all. Jon, many thanks again. Jon
Sopel, our North America editor | 0:08:01 | 0:08:08 | |
there in Washington. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:12 | |
More than a million NHS workers
in England can expect pay rises | 0:08:12 | 0:08:15 | |
if they agree to a deal agreed
between most trades unions | 0:08:15 | 0:08:17 | |
and the Government. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:18 | |
The past five years have seen a pay
cap and a pay freeze. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:22 | |
The deal would see wages increase
between 6.5% and 29% over the next | 0:08:22 | 0:08:25 | |
three years with the exception
of doctors, dentists | 0:08:25 | 0:08:27 | |
and senior leaders. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:30 | |
The biggest rises would go to those
on the lowest end of the scale - | 0:08:30 | 0:08:34 | |
cleaners, porters and catering staff
- who will see an immediate | 0:08:34 | 0:08:37 | |
£2,000 added to their pay
packets this year. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:41 | |
The salary increases are expected
to cost around £4 billion, | 0:08:41 | 0:08:45 | |
but won't come out of the NHS
budget, they will come | 0:08:45 | 0:08:47 | |
from Treasury funds. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:49 | |
Our political editor,
Laura Kuenssberg, has more details. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:54 | |
Porters, paramedics, nurses,
who care for millions of patients. | 0:08:54 | 0:09:00 | |
The staff who keep the NHS going are
finally to have a bigger pay rise. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:07 | |
It's nice for us to be recognised
for all that hard work. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:10 | |
But obviously, it doesn't detract
away from the last few | 0:09:10 | 0:09:12 | |
years, where we actually
haven't had anything. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:14 | |
Most of us live on a strict budget. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:16 | |
That can ease off a bit
and the future will look | 0:09:16 | 0:09:19 | |
better and brighter. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:20 | |
I have two young children,
so having this pay rise will help | 0:09:20 | 0:09:22 | |
out even more with childcare,
things like that. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:24 | |
I'll be able to do more things. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:27 | |
Scrap the cap!
Scrap the cap! | 0:09:27 | 0:09:30 | |
For five years, there have been
calls to do just that. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:35 | |
Aside from some automatic rises,
the limit on public-sector | 0:09:35 | 0:09:38 | |
pay increases, of 1%,
meant wages fell behind. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:42 | |
THE SPEAKER: The Secretary of State
for Health and Social Care, | 0:09:42 | 0:09:45 | |
Secretary Jeremy Hunt. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:46 | |
And the election left the Tories
in no doubt about the irritation. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:49 | |
So... | 0:09:49 | 0:09:51 | |
Today's agreement on a new pay deal
reflects public appreciation | 0:09:51 | 0:09:53 | |
for just how much they have done
and continue to do. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:56 | |
Rarely has a pay raise been
so well-deserved for NHS staff, | 0:09:56 | 0:09:59 | |
who have never worked harder. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:03 | |
When a nurse pleaded
with the Prime Minister for a pay | 0:10:03 | 0:10:06 | |
rise on national television,
she was told there was | 0:10:06 | 0:10:09 | |
no magic money tree. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:15 | |
So, can he tell us how this pay
rise will be paid for? | 0:10:15 | 0:10:18 | |
Has the Prime Minister's
horticultural skills grown | 0:10:18 | 0:10:20 | |
said magic money tree? | 0:10:20 | 0:10:23 | |
Taxpayers' money for the rises
will come from the Treasury to start | 0:10:23 | 0:10:28 | |
with, not out of existing health
budgets, so the big | 0:10:28 | 0:10:31 | |
unions are on board. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:33 | |
It's not solved the problems,
it's a start, and we would expect it | 0:10:33 | 0:10:36 | |
to be the start of a new process
that recognises the hard work | 0:10:36 | 0:10:40 | |
of our nurses and our people
who work in our health service, | 0:10:40 | 0:10:42 | |
that recognises the value
and that we value those | 0:10:42 | 0:10:45 | |
people for what we do. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:48 | |
But staff still have
to approve the deal. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:51 | |
And with inflation, it might not
make up the difference. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:54 | |
I think the devil is in the detail,
and our members that met | 0:10:54 | 0:10:57 | |
yesterday were absolutely
going through the details | 0:10:57 | 0:10:58 | |
and couldn't see how this
was going to claw back years | 0:10:58 | 0:11:01 | |
of pay cuts. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:06 | |
Perhaps for NHS staff in England,
these rises can't come fast enough. | 0:11:06 | 0:11:10 | |
Remember, limits on pay have been
in place for years - | 0:11:10 | 0:11:14 | |
part of the Conservatives' efforts
to balance the nation's books. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:16 | |
But public money
will still be tight. | 0:11:16 | 0:11:22 | |
This is an easing of
a squeeze, not the end. | 0:11:22 | 0:11:25 | |
Scotland and Wales are likely
to follow the Westminster move, | 0:11:25 | 0:11:29 | |
and it adds volume to calls
for rises in other parts | 0:11:29 | 0:11:32 | |
of the public sector. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:36 | |
Money round here's still tight,
but the cap no longer fits. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:39 | |
Laura Kuenssberg, BBC
News, Westminster. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:46 | |
Facebook has admitted making
mistakes in midhandling data | 0:11:46 | 0:11:50 | |
belonging to some 50 million
of its users. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:53 | |
Chief executive Mark Zuckerberg,
in his first response | 0:11:53 | 0:11:56 | |
to the controversy over the use
of data, has promised tougher steps | 0:11:56 | 0:11:59 | |
to prevent what he called "bad
actors" from getting access | 0:11:59 | 0:12:01 | |
to people's private information. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:05 | |
Facebook, the world's biggest
social media network, | 0:12:05 | 0:12:07 | |
is facing growing pressure in Europe
and the United States | 0:12:07 | 0:12:10 | |
about allegations that a British
firm, Cambridge Analytica, | 0:12:10 | 0:12:13 | |
accessed users' information
for political purposes, | 0:12:13 | 0:12:15 | |
notably to help Donald Trump's
presidential campaign. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:20 | |
Our business editor,
Simon Jack, has the latest. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:27 | |
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg
broke his silence tonight | 0:12:27 | 0:12:29 | |
on a scandal that has engulfed
the social media giant. | 0:12:29 | 0:12:36 | |
In a Facebook post, he said
the company had a responsibility | 0:12:36 | 0:12:39 | |
to protect your data and admitted
the company had made mistakes. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:41 | |
He described how a British academic
had invented an app inviting | 0:12:41 | 0:12:44 | |
Facebook users to do
a personality test. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:46 | |
300,000 people downloaded it,
it collected personal | 0:12:46 | 0:12:47 | |
information on them and also
all of their Facebook friends, | 0:12:47 | 0:12:50 | |
harvesting data on 50 million users. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:53 | |
That data was obtained
by a British consultancy, | 0:12:53 | 0:12:58 | |
Cambridge Analytica,
in 2014 - a move Zuckerberg | 0:12:58 | 0:13:05 | |
described tonight as "a breach
of trust" - and it was later | 0:13:07 | 0:13:10 | |
allegedly used in the Trump
election campaign. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:11 | |
A campaign the company's executive
took a lot of credit | 0:13:11 | 0:13:14 | |
for when secretly filmed,
an apparent shock to | 0:13:14 | 0:13:16 | |
the original app designer. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:17 | |
Never in our wildest dreams did
we think anything we did would be | 0:13:17 | 0:13:20 | |
used in the Donald Trump campaign. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:22 | |
This is 2014, well before anybody
would think Mr Trump would be | 0:13:22 | 0:13:25 | |
a serious candidate. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:31 | |
So, at the time, like, I didn't know
who their clients were going to be, | 0:13:31 | 0:13:35 | |
I didn't really know
the specific use case. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:37 | |
I did know it was going to be used
for political purposes, | 0:13:37 | 0:13:40 | |
but beyond that, you know,
it was well above my pay grade. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:43 | |
Should have asked! | 0:13:43 | 0:13:44 | |
Could this small consultancy
really have altered | 0:13:44 | 0:13:46 | |
the course of US history? | 0:13:46 | 0:13:48 | |
Unlikely, says a man who worked
on Barack Obama's 2008 election. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:52 | |
Data can be misused to increase
divisions and stoke fears | 0:13:52 | 0:13:56 | |
as they themselves have said,
and that is why it needs to be | 0:13:56 | 0:14:04 | |
regulated more carefully,
and ethical behaviour needs | 0:14:04 | 0:14:06 | |
to be enforced. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:07 | |
But elections are decided by a whole
range of factors and I think | 0:14:07 | 0:14:10 | |
Cambridge Analytica over
claimed their impact. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:11 | |
Zuckerberg says Facebook
will conduct a full audit of apps | 0:14:11 | 0:14:14 | |
with suspicious activity,
ban apps that break the rules | 0:14:14 | 0:14:16 | |
or refuse to be audited and make it
harder for developers to access data | 0:14:16 | 0:14:19 | |
in the future. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:22 | |
Perhaps the biggest change
will be our awareness of what we're | 0:14:22 | 0:14:25 | |
agreeing to when we hit "I agree." | 0:14:25 | 0:14:29 | |
The conversation we should be having
is, what happens to our data? | 0:14:29 | 0:14:32 | |
How much are we
comfortable to share? | 0:14:32 | 0:14:33 | |
Who are we comfortable
to share it with? | 0:14:33 | 0:14:36 | |
And what do we think
about how that's done? | 0:14:36 | 0:14:40 | |
So this feels like it's been
a real light bulb moment, | 0:14:40 | 0:14:42 | |
where people are understanding that
it's not just clicking "like" | 0:14:42 | 0:14:45 | |
on Facebook, what you are doing
there is giving data away. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:47 | |
Facebook's value has fallen
by $50 billion since Monday, | 0:14:47 | 0:14:50 | |
and today's announcement didn't
see that reverse. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:52 | |
Evidence, perhaps, of lasting
damage on Facebook's brand | 0:14:52 | 0:14:54 | |
and its users' trust. | 0:14:54 | 0:14:55 | |
Simon Jack, BBC News. | 0:14:55 | 0:15:00 | |
In a moment, we'll be speaking
to our economics editor, | 0:15:00 | 0:15:03 | |
Kamal Ahmed, who's in Brussels
to talk about the tax that big | 0:15:03 | 0:15:06 | |
technology companies pay. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:08 | |
But first our media editor,
Amol Rajan, is at Facebook | 0:15:08 | 0:15:10 | |
headquarters in California. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:13 | |
What do you make of the response we
got from Facebook this evening? It | 0:15:17 | 0:15:23 | |
was long overdue. In fairness to
Mark Zuckerberg, his reputation has | 0:15:23 | 0:15:27 | |
taken a hammering over the last few
days when he remained silent. I have | 0:15:27 | 0:15:31 | |
been tough on him. Today he
announced substantial changes like | 0:15:31 | 0:15:35 | |
the restriction on data for apt
development and the fact it will be | 0:15:35 | 0:15:41 | |
easier for users to work out what
data will be vulnerable. Those are | 0:15:41 | 0:15:46 | |
significant changes. I spoke to
Chris Cox, the chief product officer | 0:15:46 | 0:15:50 | |
he said he was clear there had been
a big breach of trust. What Mark | 0:15:50 | 0:15:56 | |
Zuckerberg said in his blog post had
three audiences. There was a staff | 0:15:56 | 0:16:02 | |
audience, they look to Mark
Zuckerberg as a deity and they are | 0:16:02 | 0:16:06 | |
reassured. Over the Atlantic,
questions are any beginning to be | 0:16:06 | 0:16:11 | |
answered. Then there is the public.
The public at large feel that the | 0:16:11 | 0:16:15 | |
reputation of Facebook for safety
with personal data has taken a | 0:16:15 | 0:16:18 | |
hammering and it will take more than
a blog post to fix that. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:25 | |
Let's go now to Brussels. On the
theme of these big companies under | 0:16:25 | 0:16:31 | |
pressure, there is another dimension
to this tonight. Absolutely. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:38 | |
Controversy is for big, digital,
global giants like Facebook and | 0:16:38 | 0:16:42 | |
Google are not just about data, the
other big issue is tax. Today the | 0:16:42 | 0:16:47 | |
European Commission here in Brussels
announced really radical plans to | 0:16:47 | 0:16:52 | |
make these big, digital companies
that operate around the world and | 0:16:52 | 0:16:56 | |
here in Europe, of course, pay more
tax. They want them to pay tax the | 0:16:56 | 0:17:01 | |
amount of users they have, the
amount of revenues they gain. The | 0:17:01 | 0:17:08 | |
claim is, under these proposals,
they could be paid up to £4 billion | 0:17:08 | 0:17:11 | |
more tax across Europe and a chunk
of that could come to Britain. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:15 | |
Traditional businesses effective tax
rate is about 23% with digital | 0:17:15 | 0:17:20 | |
businesses effective tax rate is
9.5%. That is the issue the European | 0:17:20 | 0:17:25 | |
Commission wants to solve. Will it
happen? The commission I spoke to | 0:17:25 | 0:17:31 | |
today said he wanted agreement by
the end of the year and the UK will | 0:17:31 | 0:17:37 | |
be ably participant. The Treasury
has said it wants to go down this | 0:17:37 | 0:17:41 | |
route. This is the big test. On data
we have heard what governments and | 0:17:41 | 0:17:46 | |
regulators want and contacts we have
heard what governments and | 0:17:46 | 0:17:51 | |
regulators want to do. The question
now, by the end of the year, will | 0:17:51 | 0:17:56 | |
anything really of substance change?
Many thanks. | 0:17:56 | 0:18:02 | |
A brief look at some
of the day's other news stories. | 0:18:02 | 0:18:05 | |
More than 30 people have been killed
in a suicide bomb attack | 0:18:05 | 0:18:07 | |
in the Afghan capital,
Kabul. | 0:18:07 | 0:18:09 | |
At least 65 others were injured. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:10 | |
The blast happened as crowds
were leaving a shrine. | 0:18:10 | 0:18:12 | |
A man charged with a series
of bombings in Austin, | 0:18:12 | 0:18:15 | |
Texas has died after blowing
himself up in his car | 0:18:15 | 0:18:17 | |
following a police chase. | 0:18:17 | 0:18:19 | |
He's been named as
23-year-old Mark Conditt. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:23 | |
Two people were killed in six parcel
bomb attacks during the past month. | 0:18:23 | 0:18:29 | |
More than 100 Nigerian schoolgirls
abducted by Islamist | 0:18:29 | 0:18:31 | |
militants last month in the town
of Dapchi have been freed. | 0:18:31 | 0:18:35 | |
Five girls are said to have died
in captivity and another, | 0:18:35 | 0:18:38 | |
the only Christian in the group,
has not been released. | 0:18:38 | 0:18:42 | |
The Government denies paying
Boko Haram a ransom. | 0:18:42 | 0:18:47 | |
The Archbishop of Canterbury has
told an inquiry into child abuse | 0:18:47 | 0:18:50 | |
that he is ashamed of the Church
of England's handling of the issue. | 0:18:50 | 0:18:52 | |
Justin Welby said listening
to three weeks of evidence | 0:18:52 | 0:18:55 | |
about abuse in the Church had
left him horrified. | 0:18:55 | 0:18:57 | |
The inquiry is looking
at abuse that took place | 0:18:57 | 0:18:59 | |
in the diocese of Chichester. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:04 | |
A senior police officer has told BBC
News that the rise in people killed | 0:19:04 | 0:19:08 | |
and injured by knife crime should be
causing far more public concern. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:12 | |
He says that because many
victims are black, | 0:19:12 | 0:19:15 | |
not enough is being done
to prevent it. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:18 | |
This year, there have been 26 fatal
stabbings in London. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:20 | |
The BBC has also seen new figures
from the NHS showing a significant | 0:19:20 | 0:19:24 | |
increase in those being treated
in hospital for stabbing injuries. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:29 | |
Our special correspondent
Lucy Manning has the story. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:33 | |
Seven days, six murders,
all by knives. | 0:19:33 | 0:19:36 | |
Police in East London
investigate another last night. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:40 | |
Knives now being used too
often, killing too many. | 0:19:40 | 0:19:45 | |
Just a few miles away,
this bedroom was full of life, | 0:19:45 | 0:19:49 | |
but that life is gone. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:52 | |
They are parents who lost
their son last month. | 0:19:52 | 0:19:55 | |
Now it's empty. | 0:19:55 | 0:20:00 | |
Nothing is here. | 0:20:00 | 0:20:05 | |
He died for nothing. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:11 | |
When I come into this room,
Hasan's smell comes in my nose. | 0:20:11 | 0:20:15 | |
Everywhere, it has that smell. | 0:20:15 | 0:20:18 | |
Hasan's mother, Amina,
can now only stroke his picture. | 0:20:18 | 0:20:22 | |
Everyone is lost too much, Hasan. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:24 | |
A lot of people loved him. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:25 | |
He was handsome. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:26 | |
He was very honest. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:28 | |
And he was 19 years old. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:30 | |
He had a plan for the future. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:32 | |
Hasan was a student,
studying Criminology, | 0:20:32 | 0:20:33 | |
when he was stabbed. | 0:20:33 | 0:20:37 | |
It's two minutes that
changed Hasan's life, | 0:20:37 | 0:20:39 | |
my life, my family's life. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:42 | |
Police! | 0:20:42 | 0:20:46 | |
Stay where you are! | 0:20:46 | 0:20:47 | |
Police! | 0:20:47 | 0:20:49 | |
5am, West London, police
burst through the doors. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:51 | |
Officers are stepping up trying
to stop knives being used, | 0:20:51 | 0:20:55 | |
but admit they haven't been able
to stop knife crime rising. | 0:20:55 | 0:20:59 | |
Knuckle-dusters and drugs
are removed from the house | 0:20:59 | 0:21:01 | |
and a sword is recovered. | 0:21:01 | 0:21:05 | |
There has been a significant
increase of knife crime and that's | 0:21:05 | 0:21:08 | |
what we are tackling and have been
tackling over the last year or so. | 0:21:08 | 0:21:13 | |
So it's gone up, and I think we
should all be concerned about that. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:16 | |
26 people murdered by knives
in London so far this year, | 0:21:16 | 0:21:20 | |
including six teenagers,
prompting this frank admission. | 0:21:20 | 0:21:25 | |
I do fear sometimes that
because the majority of those that | 0:21:25 | 0:21:29 | |
are injured or killed are coming
from certain communities - | 0:21:29 | 0:21:34 | |
and very often, the black
communities in London - | 0:21:34 | 0:21:37 | |
it doesn't get the sense
of collective outrage that it ought | 0:21:37 | 0:21:40 | |
to do and really get everyone
to a place where we all are doing | 0:21:40 | 0:21:44 | |
everything we can to prevent
this from happening. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:48 | |
The BBC's obtained the latest
provisional NHS figures for England, | 0:21:48 | 0:21:51 | |
showing more than 4,000 stabbing
victims treated in the ten months | 0:21:51 | 0:21:55 | |
until the end of January this year. | 0:21:55 | 0:21:58 | |
That's 520 more people and a 14%
increase on the same | 0:21:58 | 0:22:01 | |
period the year before. | 0:22:01 | 0:22:04 | |
London hospitals like Barts,
Imperial and King's College | 0:22:04 | 0:22:06 | |
treated the most. | 0:22:06 | 0:22:09 | |
213 were treated in Birmingham, 181
in Manchester and 133 in Liverpool. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:16 | |
What would you like to see
the police and the Government doing | 0:22:16 | 0:22:19 | |
to stop so much knife crime? | 0:22:19 | 0:22:23 | |
They're not doing good enough. | 0:22:23 | 0:22:25 | |
This is a serious problem, honestly. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:27 | |
There's a lot of people that
are dying that's 17 years old, | 0:22:27 | 0:22:30 | |
18 years old, 20 years old. | 0:22:30 | 0:22:32 | |
They're dying for nothing. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:35 | |
After the stabbings,
the flowers, but they don't | 0:22:35 | 0:22:37 | |
last, and everyone -
but the families - move on. | 0:22:37 | 0:22:40 | |
I don't want anyone
else hurt any more. | 0:22:40 | 0:22:43 | |
I don't want... | 0:22:43 | 0:22:45 | |
any mothers and fathers
crying any more. | 0:22:45 | 0:22:49 | |
Lucy Manning, BBC News. | 0:22:49 | 0:22:57 | |
It is six months since Hurricane
Maria devastated Puerto Rico. Aid | 0:22:58 | 0:23:04 | |
agencies say life for many of the
residents remains a day-to-day | 0:23:04 | 0:23:08 | |
struggle. Many of them I get to have
their electricity reconnected. Our | 0:23:08 | 0:23:13 | |
correspondent reports from the
central town for that there is | 0:23:13 | 0:23:17 | |
resentment towards the US government
for what is seen by many Puerto Rico | 0:23:17 | 0:23:24 | |
Ricans as a lack of urgency to the
response. | 0:23:24 | 0:23:28 | |
Imagine having to depend on a
generator to keep your mother alive. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:31 | |
That's the way Carmen has been
living for six months. | 0:23:31 | 0:23:33 | |
She, like so many here,
all American citizens, has | 0:23:33 | 0:23:38 | |
had no electricity
since Hurricane Maria. | 0:23:38 | 0:23:43 | |
Every time the generator fails,
her mother's respirator shuts down. | 0:23:43 | 0:23:46 | |
TRANSLATION: I've been
crying all the time. | 0:23:46 | 0:23:48 | |
I thought my mother would die
because I couldn't help her. | 0:23:48 | 0:23:51 | |
It's horrible. | 0:23:51 | 0:23:53 | |
Me and her are struggling so much
to fight this situation. | 0:23:53 | 0:23:58 | |
It was the most devastating
hurricane to hit Puerto | 0:23:58 | 0:24:01 | |
Rico in living memory,
plunging more than 3 million | 0:24:01 | 0:24:04 | |
people into darkness,
and into a humanitarian crisis. | 0:24:04 | 0:24:10 | |
Maria obliterated infrastructure
right across this island. | 0:24:10 | 0:24:14 | |
People are crossing
a river in the way they | 0:24:14 | 0:24:16 | |
have not done for years
here because the bridge | 0:24:16 | 0:24:18 | |
was totally destroyed. | 0:24:18 | 0:24:21 | |
For so many people,
in so many ways across | 0:24:21 | 0:24:25 | |
Puerto Rico, life has been set
back decades. | 0:24:25 | 0:24:28 | |
This bridge is being rebuilt. | 0:24:28 | 0:24:30 | |
But the pace of recovery
across what is an American territory | 0:24:30 | 0:24:34 | |
has been painfully slow. | 0:24:34 | 0:24:36 | |
Puerto Ricans expected far
more help from the US. | 0:24:36 | 0:24:41 | |
And it's hard not to wonder,
if this school had | 0:24:41 | 0:24:44 | |
been in Texas or Florida,
whether the children would have gone | 0:24:44 | 0:24:47 | |
this long without electricity. | 0:24:47 | 0:24:49 | |
Unable to use computers
as they used to, often | 0:24:49 | 0:24:52 | |
in unwashed uniforms, and unable
to work at home after dark. | 0:24:52 | 0:24:59 | |
This teacher, Maria Isabel Santana, | 0:24:59 | 0:25:01 | |
told us she was upset by the impact
it was having on her students, | 0:25:01 | 0:25:05 | |
saying there were already months
behind in their learning. | 0:25:05 | 0:25:10 | |
But the misery is not
just about power. | 0:25:10 | 0:25:16 | |
There was so much damage
done to homes as well. | 0:25:16 | 0:25:22 | |
Many though have been given
little more than blue | 0:25:22 | 0:25:24 | |
tarpaulin to repair them. | 0:25:24 | 0:25:26 | |
So many who can have
just left the island, | 0:25:26 | 0:25:29 | |
scrawling their contact details
on the buildings they abandoned. | 0:25:29 | 0:25:31 | |
Evelyn Cruz knows
more than anyone the | 0:25:31 | 0:25:32 | |
psychological impact
of staying here. | 0:25:32 | 0:25:34 | |
Her brother, Julio,
took his life just last month. | 0:25:34 | 0:25:36 | |
She says it's because
he was overwhelmed by | 0:25:36 | 0:25:38 | |
the conditions since the hurricane. | 0:25:38 | 0:25:43 | |
TRANSLATION: All the disasters
in real life, it affected him. | 0:25:43 | 0:25:48 | |
Seeing so much need. | 0:25:48 | 0:25:55 | |
-- Maria left. | 0:25:55 | 0:25:56 | |
Knowing all the bad news. | 0:25:56 | 0:25:57 | |
Being without electricity. | 0:25:57 | 0:25:58 | |
Seeing all the desolation
and all the people leaving. | 0:25:58 | 0:26:00 | |
It affected him mentally. | 0:26:00 | 0:26:02 | |
And there has been a massive spike
in Puerto Ricans attempting | 0:26:02 | 0:26:05 | |
suicide since the storm. | 0:26:05 | 0:26:09 | |
In many ways, people here can accept
the devastation of a force of | 0:26:09 | 0:26:12 | |
nature like Hurricane Maria much
more than they can understand | 0:26:12 | 0:26:14 | |
the suffering they are
still going through now. | 0:26:14 | 0:26:18 | |

The pilot of the jet that
crashed at the Shoreham | 0:26:23 | 0:26:26 | |
Air Show in 2015 is to
be charged with the | 0:26:26 | 0:26:28 | |
manslaughter by gross
negligence of the 11 people | 0:26:28 | 0:26:30 | |
who died on the ground. | 0:26:30 | 0:26:32 | |
Andrew Hill is also accused
of endangering an aircraft | 0:26:32 | 0:26:36 | |
and is due to appear before
magistrates next month. | 0:26:36 | 0:26:38 | |
For the latest, let's
join our correspondent, | 0:26:38 | 0:26:40 | |
Duncan Kennedy at East Sussex Police
headquarters in Lewes. | 0:26:40 | 0:26:48 | |
Yes. It is nearly three years since
the air crash in Shoreham. Tonight | 0:26:48 | 0:26:57 | |
the families came to the Sussex
Police headquarters for a private | 0:26:57 | 0:27:01 | |
meeting with the Crown Prosecution
Service. They were told the pilot, | 0:27:01 | 0:27:05 | |
Andy Hill, who survived the crash is
to be prosecuted for manslaughter by | 0:27:05 | 0:27:11 | |
gross negligence. | 0:27:11 | 0:27:12 | |
This was the worst airshow disaster
in Britain since 1952. | 0:27:12 | 0:27:17 | |
A vintage jet taking part in an air
display crashed next | 0:27:17 | 0:27:20 | |
to the A27 in Shoreham. | 0:27:20 | 0:27:21 | |
11 men on the ground were killed. | 0:27:21 | 0:27:24 | |
At least 11 other
people were injured. | 0:27:24 | 0:27:27 | |
Tonight, the families of those
who died came to Sussex Police | 0:27:27 | 0:27:30 | |
headquarters to meet
the Crown Prosecution Service. | 0:27:30 | 0:27:34 | |
They were told that Andy Hill,
the pilot, would now be prosecuted. | 0:27:34 | 0:27:39 | |
I have found there is sufficient
evidence to charge Mr Hill | 0:27:39 | 0:27:42 | |
with manslaughter by gross
negligence of the 11 men who died. | 0:27:42 | 0:27:47 | |
I have also authorised a further
charge against Mr Hill | 0:27:47 | 0:27:49 | |
of endangering an aircraft contrary
to Article 137 | 0:27:49 | 0:27:52 | |
of the Air Navigation Order 2009. | 0:27:52 | 0:27:57 | |
Lawyers for the families involved
say the decision by the CPS | 0:27:57 | 0:28:00 | |
to prosecute comes after nearly
three years of grief and loss. | 0:28:00 | 0:28:06 | |
The decision by the Crown
Prosecution Service is very much | 0:28:06 | 0:28:09 | |
welcomed and the families now hope
that this criminal procedure | 0:28:09 | 0:28:12 | |
and process can progress
as swiftly as possible. | 0:28:12 | 0:28:17 | |
This memorial to the 11 men who died
has been placed on this bridge | 0:28:17 | 0:28:20 | |
near the crash site. | 0:28:20 | 0:28:22 | |
Tonight, the Crown Prosecution
Service said that Andy Hill, | 0:28:22 | 0:28:25 | |
the pilot, would be charged
and appear in court in due course. | 0:28:25 | 0:28:30 | |
The inquest into the men's deaths
is now likely to be postponed | 0:28:30 | 0:28:33 | |
until after any court case. | 0:28:33 | 0:28:36 | |
Duncan Kennedy, BBC News, in Sussex. | 0:28:36 | 0:28:42 | |
A major new study has warned
that the quantity of plastic | 0:28:42 | 0:28:45 | |
in the world's oceans
will treble within a decade, | 0:28:45 | 0:28:47 | |
unless urgent action is taken. | 0:28:47 | 0:28:50 | |
So, in the first of a three-part
series, we've set one family | 0:28:50 | 0:28:53 | |
from Bristol a challenge -
to see if they can live without | 0:28:53 | 0:28:56 | |
single-use plastic for ten days. | 0:28:56 | 0:29:00 | |
Our correspondent, Jon Kay,
has been to visit them. | 0:29:00 | 0:29:06 | |
So, what's for tea in
the Evans household tonight? | 0:29:06 | 0:29:09 | |
Plastic, and plastic, and plastic. | 0:29:09 | 0:29:12 | |
And more plastic. | 0:29:12 | 0:29:16 | |
Liz, Andy and their girls
want to live with less of this. | 0:29:16 | 0:29:19 | |
But how? | 0:29:19 | 0:29:26 | |
Plastic, plastic, plastic... | 0:29:26 | 0:29:28 | |
Plastic, plastic, plastic. | 0:29:28 | 0:29:30 | |
They're going to try
living without single-use | 0:29:30 | 0:29:32 | |
plastic for ten days. | 0:29:32 | 0:29:33 | |
We're up for it, but... | 0:29:33 | 0:29:38 | |
I can't see how you can do it,
as a modern family. | 0:29:38 | 0:29:41 | |
And look at the bottles
of lemonade that we like. | 0:29:41 | 0:29:44 | |
Milk! | 0:29:44 | 0:29:45 | |
Tomorrow is bin day. | 0:29:45 | 0:29:46 | |
We're doing well at recycling,
but where does it go from us? | 0:29:46 | 0:29:49 | |
They were inspired by
watching Blue Planet 2. | 0:29:49 | 0:29:53 | |
It will take years,
and years, and years. | 0:29:53 | 0:29:55 | |
It'll probably still be that
same bottle when you're | 0:29:55 | 0:29:57 | |
Mummy and Daddy's age. | 0:29:57 | 0:30:01 | |
Shower gel for Chloe. | 0:30:01 | 0:30:02 | |
Shower gel for Ella. | 0:30:02 | 0:30:03 | |
Shampoo for the puppy. | 0:30:03 | 0:30:05 | |
Going plastic-free... | 0:30:05 | 0:30:08 | |
Moisturisers... | 0:30:08 | 0:30:09 | |
..is going to mean some big changes. | 0:30:09 | 0:30:11 | |
We're just plastic weirdos! | 0:30:11 | 0:30:14 | |
I don't think you are weird. | 0:30:14 | 0:30:16 | |
I think this is pretty
typical of most households. | 0:30:16 | 0:30:19 | |
Yeah, but when you start to think
about it, that's when you realise | 0:30:19 | 0:30:22 | |
how reliant on it we are. | 0:30:22 | 0:30:23 | |
We make our own toothpaste. | 0:30:23 | 0:30:25 | |
How do you do that? | 0:30:25 | 0:30:28 | |
To get some tips, they've come
to meet the Williams family, | 0:30:28 | 0:30:30 | |
who've been living without
plastic for two years. | 0:30:30 | 0:30:33 | |
We're so used to being told
we need a spray for this | 0:30:33 | 0:30:35 | |
and a bottle for that... | 0:30:35 | 0:30:37 | |
They use bars of shampoo,
home-made deodorant. | 0:30:37 | 0:30:40 | |
They have a little wooden
stick in the middle. | 0:30:40 | 0:30:43 | |
Even special earbuds. | 0:30:43 | 0:30:46 | |
It just keeps anything fresh. | 0:30:46 | 0:30:48 | |
And waxed paper,
instead of clingfilm. | 0:30:48 | 0:30:50 | |
Andrew and I do work
on a fairly tight budget. | 0:30:50 | 0:30:53 | |
Liz wants reassurance that it
won't break the bank | 0:30:53 | 0:30:55 | |
when they try doing this. | 0:30:55 | 0:30:57 | |
Well, we think it's probably
a bit cheaper, don't we? | 0:30:57 | 0:30:59 | |
Yeah. | 0:30:59 | 0:31:00 | |
We haven't done a complete
comparison, but our gut feeling | 0:31:00 | 0:31:03 | |
is that it's cheaper. | 0:31:03 | 0:31:04 | |
So windscreen wash now is water,
a little bit of detergent... | 0:31:04 | 0:31:07 | |
Like a spoonful, yeah. | 0:31:07 | 0:31:09 | |
Vinegar, and it works a treat. | 0:31:09 | 0:31:10 | |
Saving you money. | 0:31:10 | 0:31:12 | |
But will the Evanses grind
their coffee, instead of buying | 0:31:12 | 0:31:15 | |
pods, and use a strainer,
rather than tea bags | 0:31:15 | 0:31:18 | |
containing plastic? | 0:31:18 | 0:31:20 | |
I think it's brilliant. | 0:31:20 | 0:31:21 | |
Absolutely brilliant. | 0:31:21 | 0:31:22 | |
You look quite blown away by this! | 0:31:22 | 0:31:23 | |
Yes, I am! | 0:31:23 | 0:31:24 | |
Ooh, there's the fruit and veg. | 0:31:24 | 0:31:26 | |
Tomorrow, we'll follow
their ten-day challenge. | 0:31:26 | 0:31:28 | |
I've got a stinking cold. | 0:31:28 | 0:31:29 | |
And it's not easy. | 0:31:29 | 0:31:32 | |
I've just been up to the chemist. | 0:31:32 | 0:31:35 | |
Everything's packaged
and in blinkin' plastic! | 0:31:35 | 0:31:36 | |
