:00:11. > :00:15.Britain sends emergency food aid to the Horn of Africa.

:00:15. > :00:21.Aid agencies say up to 10 million people are at risk from starvation

:00:21. > :00:24.after the worst drought in 60 years. We are facing a desperate situation.

:00:24. > :00:30.We are seeing children and their mothers coming in looking very

:00:30. > :00:37.malnourished. The BBC is told to cut executive pay and lead the way

:00:37. > :00:43.for other public sector bodies. Anti- monarchy protests greet

:00:43. > :00:53.William and Kate on the latest leg of their tour in Canada.

:00:53. > :01:05.

:01:05. > :01:09.And Djokovic fulfils his dream by Good evening. Britain is to provide

:01:09. > :01:13.emergency aid to over one million people in Ethiopia in danger of

:01:13. > :01:16.malnutrition and starvation after one of the worst droughts in

:01:16. > :01:21.decades. The United Nations has also called for a greater

:01:21. > :01:25.international response to the crisis. Much of the Horn of Africa

:01:25. > :01:30.has less water than at any time in the last 60 years. Aid agencies say

:01:30. > :01:38.10 million people in Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia and Uganda

:01:38. > :01:43.are affected. Driven from Somalia by hunger and

:01:43. > :01:49.war. This woman and her children arrive at the world's largest

:01:49. > :01:53.refugee camp. They are among the more than 60,000 people who have

:01:53. > :01:58.cost -- crossed the Kenyan border to Dadaab camp this year.

:01:58. > :02:02.TRANSLATION: The main reason is drought. We do not have food or

:02:02. > :02:07.anything to eat. People were dying so we fled. And the growing

:02:07. > :02:10.malnutrition among the children is all too evident at the camp. It is

:02:10. > :02:16.a huge strain on the limited resources. We are facing a

:02:16. > :02:19.desperate situation. We are seeing mothers coming in looking very

:02:19. > :02:24.malnourished and very tired. Some of them have not eaten for almost

:02:24. > :02:28.three days. It is a situation and needs to be critically addressed.

:02:28. > :02:33.Of the 10 million people aid officials say are affected by

:02:33. > :02:37.drought across the region, close to 3 million are in Somalia alone.

:02:37. > :02:41.Today, the UN has not only called for urgent action, it has also

:02:41. > :02:46.challenged donor countries to put aside fears that in Somalia, aged

:02:46. > :02:50.will fall into the hands of Islamist extremists or were Lords.

:02:50. > :02:57.And Britain has announced funding for emergency food relief in

:02:57. > :03:01.Ethiopia. -- warlords. The focus is to try and stop an emergency

:03:01. > :03:07.catastrophe taking place in the Horn of Africa. There has been no

:03:07. > :03:11.rain for two years and a steady drought. Moving livestock in search

:03:11. > :03:15.of pastures not necessarily giving them a greater chance of survival.

:03:15. > :03:22.Many animals have died. Local cereal prices have shot up.

:03:22. > :03:26.should never be in a situation where people get to this situation.

:03:26. > :03:31.We should not get to a situation like the awful famines in the past.

:03:31. > :03:35.We can provide food and assistance. We need to do that urgently.

:03:35. > :03:41.Another severe test of blooming for an ever growing number of families

:03:41. > :03:45.and for the international community. -- Severe Test looming.

:03:45. > :03:50.Ben Brown has just arrived at the refugee camp you saw in that report.

:03:50. > :03:55.He gave us the latest. We have been driving around this area.

:03:55. > :03:59.Everywhere, we see carcasses of dead animals, dead livestock, that

:03:59. > :04:05.the family's around here rely on. Dead crops as well. The UN is

:04:05. > :04:08.saying this is the worst drought for 60 years. They have had two

:04:08. > :04:12.consecutively years -- two consecutive years weather has not

:04:12. > :04:17.been enough rain. People are desperate. The US is stressing this

:04:17. > :04:20.is not yet a famine. It is what they call an emergency. They say it

:04:20. > :04:24.is a rapidly deteriorating situation and the world needs to

:04:24. > :04:28.wake up to this. They have an early warning system. Aid workers are

:04:28. > :04:32.telling me, what is the point of having that system of the world

:04:32. > :04:36.takes no notice? At this refugee camp, we are seeing something like

:04:36. > :04:39.1000 people every day streaming in from the drought and the fighting

:04:40. > :04:49.in Somalia. Many of them are children. They have been walking

:04:49. > :04:55.for weeks and a desperately weak and Mamic. -- are desperately weak

:04:55. > :04:58.and ill. The BBC Trust has signalled that it there will be

:04:58. > :05:03.cuts in executive pay at the corporation. Lord Patten says the

:05:03. > :05:07.level of management wages is a toxic issue. He says he wants the

:05:07. > :05:11.corporation to set an example for other public sector bodies.

:05:11. > :05:16.Just weeks after arriving as chairman of the BBC Trust, Lord

:05:16. > :05:19.Patten is preparing for tough decisions. He has identified top

:05:19. > :05:23.executive pay as the issue that is still most upsetting to licence

:05:23. > :05:28.payers and staff. Especially the amounts paid to those at the top

:05:28. > :05:33.and the numbers of managers on more than �150,000. There is the issue

:05:33. > :05:38.of fairness across the board, with senior managers getting some deals

:05:38. > :05:43.which do not apply to others. I think we can deal with that and if

:05:43. > :05:47.we do so, we will deal with one of the most toxic reasons for the

:05:47. > :05:52.public's lack of sympathy for the BBC as an institution, even though

:05:53. > :05:56.they enormously like what it does. With the BBC facing a six-year

:05:56. > :06:01.freeze in the licence fee and extra costs including the World Service,

:06:01. > :06:05.its critics say that high executive pay is even less excusable. It is

:06:05. > :06:09.very hard for the BBC to simultaneously say "We have a lot

:06:09. > :06:14.of pressure on our budget and we have to run on a shoestring" And

:06:14. > :06:19.have so many staff earning above �150,000 a year. The BBC say they

:06:19. > :06:24.are already cutting top management and pay. There deputy Director

:06:24. > :06:27.General has been made redundant as part of a 25% cut in the top

:06:27. > :06:31.management pay bill. With commercial broadcasters are able to

:06:31. > :06:36.pay more, some fear this will make it harder for the BBC to attract

:06:36. > :06:40.and keep the best managers. The risk is that if the BBC cannot get

:06:40. > :06:44.the best people because other broadcasters pay more, you may say

:06:44. > :06:48.that well, that is a fact of life but licence-payers will not react

:06:48. > :06:53.well if they do not get the best results. I think that is cobblers.

:06:53. > :06:57.So many people out there would want to work for an organisation that is

:06:57. > :07:02.much loved and held in huge regard around the world. People will come

:07:02. > :07:06.into it and want to work for the corporation. For the right reasons.

:07:06. > :07:13.For people working at the BBC, executive pay is not the only area

:07:13. > :07:16.of where the axe is going to fall. It faces budget cuts of 20%.

:07:16. > :07:20.Labour is seeking to table an urgent question in Parliament

:07:20. > :07:25.tomorrow over how the Government's changes to benefits will hit some

:07:25. > :07:29.of the country's poorest households. In a letter obtained by a Sunday

:07:29. > :07:36.newspaper, a senior civil servant warned the Prime Minister that the

:07:36. > :07:40.reductions could lead to up to 40,000 people becoming homeless.

:07:40. > :07:44.Up to 500,000 overweight children in England, some as young as four,

:07:44. > :07:47.could be at risk of liver disease. A government health adviser says

:07:47. > :07:53.fast food and a lack of exercise is part of the problem. Experts are

:07:53. > :07:57.warning that by 2050, nearly two- thirds will be obese.

:07:57. > :08:02.Families at a food festival in south London today. Here, even the

:08:02. > :08:08.burkas were promoted as healthy. Soaring child to obesity has

:08:08. > :08:13.prompted pushes for better food. The Government is warning of a

:08:13. > :08:17.looming crisis in liver disease. They say half a million people are

:08:17. > :08:20.at risk. What is important, and it is one of the things that my

:08:21. > :08:26.colleagues are highlighting just now, is that people may not realise

:08:26. > :08:31.the nature of the risks that are involved when people become --

:08:31. > :08:32.children, in particular, become overweight. 20% of 10 year-olds in

:08:32. > :08:36.England are overweight. By the England are overweight. By the

:08:36. > :08:38.middle of the century, experts middle of the century, experts

:08:38. > :08:43.predict that 63% of all children will be obese. They say the liver

:08:43. > :08:48.will take the told. It is not just alcohol that causes liver disease.

:08:48. > :08:53.Being overweight is also linked and it is not about the fat that you

:08:53. > :08:57.can see. The real danger is internal, in the fat in and around

:08:57. > :09:01.the vital organs. An expert says -- experts say it is a silent killer.

:09:01. > :09:07.The problem about liver disease is that you do not get any symptoms

:09:07. > :09:11.are told. Until it is at an exam East -- at an advanced age. You get

:09:11. > :09:15.cirrhosis of the liver and com -- complications that arise from that

:09:16. > :09:19.which can be serious. It is not until in late stage that you get

:09:19. > :09:28.any symptoms. Getting children to eat healthy food is often a

:09:28. > :09:36.struggle. What is your favourite food? Chips. Chips? What is your

:09:36. > :09:40.favourite fruits? Chips are not a fruit. Apples. Tomorrow sees the

:09:40. > :09:44.launch of National childhood obesity week to raise awareness of

:09:44. > :09:50.this growing problem. But doctors are warning that burgeoned, radical

:09:50. > :09:54.change is needed in order to save lives. -- urgent, radical change.

:09:54. > :09:58.The younger sister of Thaksin Shinawatra, the former owner of

:09:58. > :10:01.Manchester City Football Club, has won Thailand's general election.

:10:01. > :10:07.Yingluck Shinawatra becomes the country's first been a Prime

:10:07. > :10:11.Minister. Thailand has been played by criminal on West since Thaksin

:10:11. > :10:16.Shinawatra was thrown over by a military coup five years ago. --

:10:16. > :10:20.criminal on rest. Earlier, in Montreal, there was a

:10:21. > :10:27.small demonstration by anti- monarchy campaigners as William and

:10:27. > :10:31.Kate visited a children's hospital. A Sunday morning arrival into

:10:31. > :10:36.Quebec aboard a Royal Canadian Navy frigate. This being the heart of

:10:36. > :10:46.French-speaking Canada, a church service aboard ship with hymns in

:10:46. > :10:49.French. Tricky. The centre of the city was under tight control by

:10:49. > :10:53.police. Anti-monarchist protesters in the main square were being

:10:53. > :10:56.challenged by police and escorted away. If there was any argument,

:10:56. > :11:02.they were arrested. In the end, a group of several hundred

:11:02. > :11:06.demonstrators were allocated an area some distance away. William

:11:06. > :11:15.and Kate came to the City Hall. The welcome from those in the square

:11:15. > :11:18.was warm. This is a place where speaking in French really matters.

:11:18. > :11:22.He thanked them for his patience -- their patience with his accent and

:11:22. > :11:26.said that he hoped they would get a chance to get to know which other

:11:26. > :11:30.over the years to come. In the distance, protesters jeered, but in

:11:30. > :11:34.this where, the words were well received. The couple will have got

:11:34. > :11:37.the impression, albeit rather fleeting, that there are parts of

:11:37. > :11:43.Canada and sections of Canadian society which are not supportive of

:11:43. > :11:46.the Crown. Last night in Montreal, there was a small but noisy protest

:11:46. > :11:51.by people who believe that the British Royal Family should not

:11:51. > :11:55.have a special position in Canada. It was a counterpoint, but not an

:11:55. > :12:04.interruption. William and Kate were busy attending a cookery class.

:12:04. > :12:08.French cooking, of course. With all the sports news, here is

:12:08. > :12:14.Francis. Starting at Wimbledon where Novak

:12:14. > :12:20.Djokovic has won the men's singles title and continued an amazing year.

:12:21. > :12:25.He defeated Rafael Nadal in four sets.

:12:25. > :12:29.Wimbledon has been pitch perfect this year. After two weeks of sweat

:12:29. > :12:33.and drama, champagne and cream, this tournament had made it ever so

:12:33. > :12:37.simple. The two best players in the world would fight for the sport's

:12:37. > :12:43.world would fight for the sport's most prestigious cup. The first

:12:43. > :12:50.that was solid, kg, the equivalent of boxers circling and jabbing.

:12:50. > :12:54.Djokovic displayed his machine tooled position. He took the set.

:12:54. > :13:04.He cut loose in the second, turning acrobatic defence into. Winning

:13:04. > :13:09.attack. -- point winning. Nadal is known for on-court aggression but

:13:09. > :13:17.it is the war cry of Djokovic that you can hear. A double break later,

:13:17. > :13:25.the set was his, 6-1. Nadal had had enough. He put down his racket and

:13:25. > :13:31.picked up his cudgel. -- racquet. Under intense pressure, Djokovic

:13:31. > :13:34.tamely netted. This time, Nadal would take the set 6-1. The players

:13:34. > :13:40.traded breaks in the 4th but then the Spanish man of Steel melted,

:13:40. > :13:44.handing his opponent three break points. His father had a headache.

:13:44. > :13:54.In two-and-a-half hours, Djokovic's family and President waited for

:13:54. > :13:55.

:13:55. > :13:58.match point. match point.

:13:58. > :14:03.Victory tasted sweet. It is hard to describe this with any words,

:14:03. > :14:06.except that this is the best day of my life, the more special day of my

:14:06. > :14:11.life. It is my favourite tournament, and I have always dreamed of

:14:11. > :14:16.winning it. Sports fans, as you can probably hear, often get carried

:14:16. > :14:21.away at times like this. With the astonishing quality in the men's

:14:21. > :14:26.game, and given the final that we have seen, Novak Djokovic does

:14:26. > :14:30.deserve his moment of glory. For the previous eight years, it

:14:30. > :14:39.has been Federer and Nadal who have dominated Wimbledon. Four today,

:14:40. > :14:45.Novak Djokovic announced the David Haye is committed terms with

:14:45. > :14:49.his defeat to Vladimir cliched coat in Germany. He blamed his points

:14:49. > :14:53.defeat on a broken toe, an excuse that has led the Ukrainian to

:14:54. > :14:58.dismiss him as a sore loser. David Haye has hinted he might be

:14:58. > :15:02.prepared to put his retirement on hold if there is a rematch. He had

:15:02. > :15:07.stated he would stand down before his birthday in October. Now, he

:15:07. > :15:10.will wait a few weeks. England's one-day cricketers have

:15:10. > :15:15.lost their second successive cricket match to Sri Lanka. They

:15:15. > :15:23.gave away cheap wickets. Alastair Cook led from the front, but even

:15:23. > :15:29.he was outshone by Dinesh Chandimal. England's batsmen reached for the

:15:29. > :15:35.sky and they filled with a bump. The big-hitting flopped when it got

:15:35. > :15:40.started. Alastair Cook can do the anchor role expertly. But he sensed

:15:40. > :15:46.it was not enough. Sri Lanka's Mahela Jayawardene made a masterful

:15:46. > :15:51.79. Then, over to a remarkable 21- year-old, Dinesh Chandimal, he

:15:51. > :15:57.threw everything at the ball. Rarely is a comic used to protect a

:15:57. > :16:06.batsman from his own bat. He wanted a 100. Angelo Mathews refused to

:16:06. > :16:12.run. He scored one run. Sri Lanka's captain was incredulous. Dinesh

:16:12. > :16:22.Chandimal eventually did just that. Sri Lanka won with 10 balls to

:16:22. > :16:26.

:16:26. > :16:30.spare. England were not amused. Violence and suffering are a part

:16:30. > :16:34.of everyday life in both the Palestinian territories and

:16:35. > :16:40.Afghanistan, and today football united them. They met in the most

:16:40. > :16:49.unlikely of World Cup qualifiers. Palestine were playing on home soil

:16:50. > :16:54.for the first time. Palestinians do not have a steak,

:16:54. > :17:00.but they do have a football team. For the first time, stepping out

:17:00. > :17:07.for a World Cup game, on home turf. Their opponents, Afghanistan. They

:17:07. > :17:12.were flown in from one conflict zone to another. To greet them, the

:17:12. > :17:21.West Bank Barmy Army. Some of them with high standards. And the fans

:17:21. > :17:27.got an early goal. The scorer, from Gaza, he has not seen his family

:17:27. > :17:33.there for three years because of the travel restrictions. Sport and

:17:33. > :17:38.politics are inseparable. Palestinian people can make it.

:17:38. > :17:43.They can still do lots of things, like playing soccer in this place.

:17:43. > :17:49.We can do what, we are still alive. Among the crowd, the Palestinian

:17:49. > :17:54.Prime Minister, who sees the national team as another step

:17:54. > :18:00.towards Palestinian state heard. At the final whistle, and a 1-1 draw,

:18:00. > :18:07.good enough for the Palestinians to go through, and cause for
