0:00:08 > 0:00:14This is BBC World News America...
0:00:15 > 0:00:22Reporting from Washington, I'm Laura Trevelyan.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24A fifth package explodes in Texas.
0:00:24 > 0:00:25Is it linked
0:00:25 > 0:00:27to the bombs in Austin?
0:00:27 > 0:00:29The President vows to track down those responsible.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32These are sick people and we will get to the bottom of it.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35Meanwhile the Saudi crown prince is welcomed to the White House by the
0:00:35 > 0:00:40president. The two speak on rising tensions with Iran.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42And...
0:00:42 > 0:00:45The last male northern white rhino in the world is gone,
0:00:45 > 0:00:47leaving his daughter and granddaughter as the only
0:00:47 > 0:00:51ones of their kind.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Welcome to our viewers on public television in America
0:01:00 > 0:01:07and around the globe.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11A small bomb exploded in a FedEx facility near San Antonio this
0:01:11 > 0:01:16morning. The fifth this month. No one was injured in the latest blast,
0:01:16 > 0:01:20but the death toll remains at two.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Hundreds of federal agents are now in the state,
0:01:23 > 0:01:25trying to find out who could be behind these incidents and why.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Our correspondent Gary O Donoghue reports.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29It's becoming an all too familiar sight in Texas.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Another explosion, the fifth since the beginning of the
0:01:31 > 0:01:39month.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Police were called to this FedEx distribution centre around midnight,
0:01:41 > 0:01:43after a bomb exploded on a conveyor belt.
0:01:43 > 0:01:44No one was injured.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Investigators were saying very little about the details.
0:01:46 > 0:01:47But were trying to reassure the public.
0:01:48 > 0:01:49Safety is our number one priority.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51We have agents from across the country.
0:01:51 > 0:01:57We have our national response team here.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00We've got canine explosive detection canines here.
0:02:00 > 0:02:01We have Intel research specialists.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03We are working hand-in-hand with our FBI partners,
0:02:03 > 0:02:10state and local permits.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14--state and local partners.
0:02:14 > 0:02:15Sources have told local media that the bomb contained shrapnel
0:02:15 > 0:02:17and nails, something the police are waiting to confirm
0:02:17 > 0:02:18on the record.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20The uncertainty is creating understandable anxiety.
0:02:20 > 0:02:21Is it going to happen again?
0:02:21 > 0:02:22Where, when, why?
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Who, who is doing this?
0:02:24 > 0:02:25I don't know.
0:02:25 > 0:02:26Very scary situation.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28At the White House, meeting the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia,
0:02:28 > 0:02:38the president had strong words for the situation in Texas.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41What's going on in Austin, a great place, tremendous place,
0:02:41 > 0:02:42is absolutely disgraceful.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44So we have a lot of power over there.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46We are looking, it is not easy to find.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49But these are sick people and we have to find them
0:02:49 > 0:02:50as soon as possible.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52The resources going into this investigation are significant.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54There are hundreds of agents on the ground, trying to determine
0:02:55 > 0:02:57some kind of motive.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00But still, it appears the police have little by way
0:03:00 > 0:03:01of significant leads.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03In the meantime, Texas holds its breath for
0:03:03 > 0:03:04further possible attacks.
0:03:04 > 0:03:10Gary O Donoghue, BBC News, Austin.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14For more on this, my colleague Katty Kay spoke to former FBI
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Assistant Director Ron Hosko a short time ago, for her
0:03:17 > 0:03:23programme Beyond 100 Days.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Ron, this is a really curious case, what is happening down in Texas.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28What is your read on it?
0:03:28 > 0:03:35Well, it's very concerning.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37First, we've had a round of bombs that were what sounds
0:03:37 > 0:03:38like hand-delivered.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41Presumably to targets of the bomber.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45Specific targets, presumably his desired victims.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49And a handful of people injured.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53And then some relative silence for a few days.
0:03:53 > 0:03:59And now we've had some additional bombings that have come,
0:03:59 > 0:04:08using a different methodology, not hand-delivered,
0:04:08 > 0:04:10but one with a tripwire, another one put into
0:04:10 > 0:04:11FedEx, the delivery
0:04:11 > 0:04:12chain for FedEx.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15And perhaps some additional ones that are in the delivery chain
0:04:15 > 0:04:17now that are being looked at by law enforcement.
0:04:17 > 0:04:26So the methodology has changed, we don't know if this object has had
0:04:26 > 0:04:32these devices built already, over time,
0:04:32 > 0:04:34or has been stockpiled, has the additional components
0:04:34 > 0:04:38for additional devices.
0:04:38 > 0:04:39It is very scary.
0:04:39 > 0:04:40You say the subject.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42You're assuming that it is one person.
0:04:42 > 0:04:43I am.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45You know, if we look at bombers over time,
0:04:45 > 0:04:48they tend to be angry individuals who have a purpose in mind.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Whether it is, you know, the Unabomber, certainly
0:04:51 > 0:05:01a very solitary person, very capable, deadly,
0:05:01 > 0:05:03going to the killer of Judge Vance and other bombers,
0:05:04 > 0:05:05other bombings in Georgia.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09And in the Florida area.
0:05:09 > 0:05:15to Eric Robert Rudolph, the Centennial Park bomber
0:05:15 > 0:05:18who also bombed an abortion provider in Alabama.
0:05:18 > 0:05:23These folks tend to work by themselves.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25You don't tend to see teams of bombers, people
0:05:25 > 0:05:26working in concert.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28So it remains to be seen.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Maybe there are other people, and of course
0:05:30 > 0:05:32that is what the appeal is through the media
0:05:32 > 0:05:35by the law enforcement now, for the public to come out and help.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38So if you are running this case, what are the clues that
0:05:38 > 0:05:39you are looking at?
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Well, first, there are a couple different channels
0:05:41 > 0:05:42going on right now.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44One is the forensics of the devices that they can recover
0:05:44 > 0:05:47and the post-blast investigation.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50That is very detailed examination of anything that came out
0:05:50 > 0:05:51of the already exploded devices.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55They are looking for DNA, they are looking for fingerprints,
0:05:55 > 0:05:57they are looking for essentially the bomber's signature.
0:05:57 > 0:06:07What type of initiation, what were the explosive components
0:06:08 > 0:06:09how is it constructed, what was the shrapnel.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13So they're looking for all that.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16They're looking at technology to see if there's any link to the victims
0:06:16 > 0:06:17or intended victims.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20And what are you doing to try and prevent future attacks?
0:06:20 > 0:06:22I'm doing what they're doing, which going to be media.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Recognising that this is the opportunity for the best
0:06:24 > 0:06:31partnership between law enforcement, through the media, to the public.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34They may have 500 agents on the ground down there,
0:06:34 > 0:06:39but that is no match for thousands and thousands
0:06:39 > 0:06:42of eyes of the community, of a loved one, of a neighbour.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Somebody who sees something of concern and says,
0:06:44 > 0:06:45"You know who did that?
0:06:45 > 0:06:46That's my next-door neighbour.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49I see him in his garage at night."
0:06:49 > 0:06:52So that has to be leveraged, that is what they're trying to do.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54If you see something, saying something.
0:06:54 > 0:06:55Thanks very much for joining us.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58You're welcome.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01President Trump has welcomed Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince to the White
0:07:01 > 0:07:07House. It was the Crown Prince's first visit to Washington since
0:07:07 > 0:07:11becoming the heir apparent to his kingdom lasted Jen. The two leaders
0:07:11 > 0:07:14discussed tensions with Iran and a weapon still. President Trump tended
0:07:14 > 0:07:21a strong relationship when the US and Saudi Arabia. For more I spoke
0:07:21 > 0:07:24to Brian, a senior fellow for the centre for American progress.
0:07:24 > 0:07:30In the White House today sitting next to the crown prince.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32The president said, "We have become very for good friends
0:07:32 > 0:07:33in a short period of time."
0:07:33 > 0:07:37What is driving that?
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Well, Trump's strategy for the Middle East,
0:07:39 > 0:07:42most of the roads on the things he is dealing with my
0:07:42 > 0:07:43through it.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45The Arab-Israeli peace process, Iran and the nuclear deal.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48As well as counterterrorism.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51He has pended his strategy heavily on Saudi Arabian
0:07:51 > 0:07:54and placed a big bet on them.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57And it maybe a bet that is quite shaky and risky
0:07:57 > 0:07:58for a number of reasons.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Well, the Crown Prince said that he would be talking
0:08:01 > 0:08:03to the president about the Iran nuclear deal, which of course
0:08:03 > 0:08:06the Saudis really want the US to pull out of.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08How do you think the conversation will have gone?
0:08:08 > 0:08:12Well, I think he probably would have found a very sympathetic resident.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15It looks to me like President Trump may be moving towards pulling
0:08:15 > 0:08:16America out of the deal.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18In my view, that would be a bad move.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20It would isolate us from our friends in Europe.
0:08:20 > 0:08:28And China and Russia who are part of the deal.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32And it would probably weaken our hand.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35But I think the Saudi Crown Prince and President Trump agree on this.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39The the Crown Prince is here to tell us to a story to America, isn't he,
0:08:39 > 0:08:41about how he is modernising this kingdom, women are driving
0:08:41 > 0:08:44and so on and so forth.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46But is there any concern what you detect within the administration
0:08:46 > 0:08:48about for example, his alleged crackdown on corruption
0:08:48 > 0:08:50in which many of his opponents were arrested?
0:08:50 > 0:08:52There is concern about that, there is concern about his
0:08:52 > 0:08:54conduct of the Yemen war.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56There is concern about a blockade against Qatar that has been
0:08:56 > 0:08:58in place for nearly a year.
0:08:58 > 0:09:03That is just within the Trump administration.
0:09:03 > 0:09:08And this afternoon, some in the Senate were considering
0:09:08 > 0:09:11a measure to essentially cut off US military support to the Saudi-led
0:09:11 > 0:09:12coalition in Yemen.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14So there are a lot of questions about the Saudi
0:09:14 > 0:09:15Arabian America today.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18But when it comes to Yemen, do you think that within
0:09:18 > 0:09:26the White House itself there is real concern about humanitarian crisis?
0:09:26 > 0:09:36Which might have been raised with the Crown Prince?
0:09:37 > 0:09:39I don't know if President addressed it in this
0:09:39 > 0:09:41meeting but late last year
0:09:41 > 0:09:42he voiced public concerns about the humanitarian
0:09:42 > 0:09:43crisis in Yemen.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Those words of concerns are shared by people in the Pentagon and parts
0:09:46 > 0:09:48of the State Department as well.
0:09:48 > 0:09:49Unfortunately President Trump's posture generally has
0:09:49 > 0:09:50been quite passive.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52He's offered a blank check to Saudi Arabia.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55And I will be surprised that if the topic came up,
0:09:55 > 0:09:58he brought it up in a way that would use our leverage.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01The Crown Prince is also very close, isn't he, to be resident's
0:10:01 > 0:10:02son-in-law Anna Jared Kushner.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04What impact does that relationship have on how US, Saudi policy is
0:10:04 > 0:10:06developing?In some ways this relationship is pretty close and it
0:10:06 > 0:10:09mirrors the Saudi system. In essence have a close family member be the
0:10:09 > 0:10:13main channel. Unfortunately, this presents some challenges for some of
0:10:13 > 0:10:16the other Cabinet secretaries who may not be well briefed on what
0:10:16 > 0:10:21those conversations Jared Kushner has had with Mohammed. If the US and
0:10:21 > 0:10:25Saudi Arabia really want to build a stronger foundation for the
0:10:25 > 0:10:28relationship they need to actually institutionalize it and not make it
0:10:28 > 0:10:31so focused on the president and his inner circle.The president talked a
0:10:31 > 0:10:34lot today about the arms sales that the US is going to make to the
0:10:34 > 0:10:41Saudi. Is that now the fulcrum of the economic relationship?It is
0:10:41 > 0:10:43now. But what I think will be interesting as I understand the
0:10:43 > 0:10:47Crown Prince is going to many cities around the United States, to
0:10:47 > 0:10:52Seattle, to California. And they are looking to expand what has been a
0:10:52 > 0:10:54limited military intelligence and energy sector basis for the
0:10:54 > 0:10:57relationship and expanded to be tech and other things. Of the arms sales,
0:10:57 > 0:11:01that something going on for years and they far outpaced any other
0:11:01 > 0:11:04country that we have sold weapons to.Thank you so much for joining
0:11:04 > 0:11:12us.Great, thank you.Currently the US military supports the Saudi led
0:11:12 > 0:11:18coalition rebels backed by Iran. Today US lawmakers voted whether to
0:11:18 > 0:11:22end US involvement, a motion that was voted down by the Senate. BBC's
0:11:22 > 0:11:27cheap international correspondent has recently travelled to Yemen to
0:11:27 > 0:11:31meet children of the conflict.
0:11:31 > 0:11:31We travelled into meet children of the conflict.
0:11:31 > 0:11:31We travelled into Yemen with meet children of the conflict.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35We travelled into Yemen with the Saudi. They wanted us to see the
0:11:35 > 0:11:46suffering being inflicted by their enemy. They took us to meet these
0:11:46 > 0:11:57boys, robbed of their childhood. Forced to fight alongside grown man.
0:11:57 > 0:12:04Children and Yemen are recruited by all sides. Especially the Houthis.
0:12:04 > 0:12:15Passion was 13 when his best friend was shot dead in front of them.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35So many children, so young, have been dragged into this destructive
0:12:35 > 0:12:41war. But even in more, there are rules. And in Yemen, they are being
0:12:41 > 0:12:48broken, time and again by all sides.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51These children live in Sana, the capital controlled by Houthis.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Their families sought refuge here after their home
0:12:53 > 0:12:56was bombed by the Saudis.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Coalition air strikes have reportedly caused the greatest
0:12:58 > 0:13:02number of child casualties.
0:13:02 > 0:13:12Six-year-old Lamees wants them to stop.
0:13:20 > 0:13:27There was no place to hide for Yaya's family.
0:13:32 > 0:13:33Five children killed, only 17-year-old Yaya
0:13:33 > 0:13:43and a brother left.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Back in government-held Marib, these men will always live
0:13:48 > 0:13:54with the cost of this conflict.
0:13:54 > 0:13:59So often, it's the youngest to lose the most.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01These little boys are being fitted with prosthetics at this
0:14:01 > 0:14:05Saudi funded clinic.
0:14:05 > 0:14:1511-year-old Abdullah mistook a landmine for a toy.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Nine-year-old Ali Youssef wants to be a goalkeeper
0:14:32 > 0:14:39when he grows up, believing this won't hold him back.
0:14:39 > 0:14:40Yemen's conflict has had a crippling effect
0:14:40 > 0:14:42on all its people.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44The youngest growing up knowing nothing but war.
0:14:44 > 0:14:53Lyse Doucet, BBC News, Yemen.
0:14:53 > 0:15:05The suspended chief executive... He was sickly reported in a report
0:15:05 > 0:15:09broadcast by Channel 4 News in Britain. Meanwhile US senators are
0:15:09 > 0:15:12calling on Facebook to explain how millions of its users data was mined
0:15:12 > 0:15:16by Cambridge Analytica. For more I spoke a short time ago to our North
0:15:16 > 0:15:23America editor. John, what does deny's report by Channel 4 News
0:15:23 > 0:15:26really reveal about the role of Cambridge Analytica and the Trump
0:15:26 > 0:15:30campaign?You're left with two choices. Either they are full of hot
0:15:30 > 0:15:35air and wind and bravado and making stuff up among which is not a good
0:15:35 > 0:15:39place to be, or they are telling the truth about their role in the
0:15:39 > 0:15:42presidential election campaign of Donald Trump. In which case I think
0:15:42 > 0:15:48potentially they have got a whole heap of trouble. Now they claim the
0:15:48 > 0:15:50whole digital campaign, attack ads, Crooked Hillary was there they were
0:15:50 > 0:15:57saying. The handcuffs. They say they were the masterminds of all of that.
0:15:57 > 0:16:02But also potentially they work were donating between the term campaign
0:16:02 > 0:16:06and some of the so-called superplex, the supposedly independent bodies
0:16:06 > 0:16:11that are meant to have nothing to do with the campaign. It would be a
0:16:11 > 0:16:14bleach domain breach of the electoral law as there was a
0:16:14 > 0:16:17bleeding between the two. That is the suggestion they have made and
0:16:17 > 0:16:22I'm sure Congress will want to look at that as a side I'm what's a
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Donald Trump would not like to accept that cameras analytical work
0:16:25 > 0:16:30responsible. I'm sure Donald Trump would say I'm response will for my
0:16:30 > 0:16:34election victory.Indeed. There are many questions from US Senators
0:16:34 > 0:16:39today about how exactly Facebook allowed Cambridge Analytica to get
0:16:39 > 0:16:45data on so many millions of Facebook users.Yes. Supposedly Facebook are
0:16:45 > 0:16:49meant to be meeting congressional leaders tomorrow. But not Mark
0:16:49 > 0:16:55Zuckerberg. I think the thing that has changed now as it sorry been
0:16:55 > 0:16:59written to Facebook saying we want Zuckerberg here now, as soon as
0:16:59 > 0:17:02possible. Facebook have issued a statement tonight saying look, we're
0:17:02 > 0:17:06still horrified that someone could have accessed our information in
0:17:06 > 0:17:09this way and it. I think Facebook have got some really difficult
0:17:09 > 0:17:14questions to answer. Not just to Congress, but to Wall Street as
0:17:14 > 0:17:23well. Where the share prices of about what Facebook is doing to
0:17:23 > 0:17:28protect people's data. And it looks like there are big, giant holes and
0:17:28 > 0:17:36what they have got in place.Peggy so much for joining us. You're
0:17:36 > 0:17:38watching BBC World News America. Still to come on tonight's
0:17:38 > 0:17:44programme. The long road to recovery importer Rico. Six months after
0:17:44 > 0:17:46Hurricane Maria hit. Residents are still suffering from the devastation
0:17:46 > 0:17:53left behind.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59The Brazilian city of Sao Paulo is one of the most congested
0:17:59 > 0:17:59cities in the world.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02With more than eight million cars, travelling just the shortest
0:18:02 > 0:18:07distance can take hours.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Daily commutes can be an ordeal.
0:18:09 > 0:18:16Traffic jams have been known to exceed 100km.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18But there's a new taxi service designed to cut the congestion,
0:18:18 > 0:18:21and it's making use of the city's private helicopters.
0:18:21 > 0:18:28Our South America correspondent Katy Watson has more.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32These are usually the preserve of the megarich. A Sao Paulo was to
0:18:32 > 0:18:35shake up the city government back. Richard is giving it a shot. Only
0:18:35 > 0:18:38going a few kilometres from the domestic airport to his office but
0:18:38 > 0:18:41it is a journey that on that date could take over an hour. Order the
0:18:41 > 0:18:46topple on your mobile app, and then head to your nearest helipad. Easy.
0:18:46 > 0:18:52The option of taking a fight, taking a helicopter from a helipad right
0:18:52 > 0:18:57next to your office and in five minutes be in the airport, or let's
0:18:57 > 0:19:00say in 15 minutes be in the international airport. It is just a
0:19:00 > 0:19:03huge advantage and it saves a lot of time. And you can spend more time
0:19:03 > 0:19:07here at home with their family or in the office and productive meetings.
0:19:07 > 0:19:13So that is actually valuable.And this city, said to have the biggest
0:19:13 > 0:19:18fleet of helicopters in the world, there is plenty of choice. The city
0:19:18 > 0:19:22of Sao Paulo has 400 helicopters and 200 helipads. The recent economic
0:19:22 > 0:19:26crisis in this country has been tough on the industry. People have
0:19:26 > 0:19:30less money and the demand for helicopters has fallen. Which is why
0:19:30 > 0:19:33using helicopters and more like taxis is seen but operated as one
0:19:33 > 0:19:37way to boost the industry once again. The aim is to make
0:19:37 > 0:19:42helicopters a viable alternative to road transport. Just over $100, you
0:19:42 > 0:19:46can fly to the international airport. Twice the price of a
0:19:46 > 0:19:49regular taxi, but as little of a tenth of a journey time. For those
0:19:49 > 0:19:53with the money, it is tempting. But they're still the minority. Kate
0:19:53 > 0:20:01Zlatan, BBC News in Sao Paulo. -- Katie Robinson.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08It has been six months since Hurricane Maria struck the US
0:20:08 > 0:20:10territory of Puerto Rico, and the island is still
0:20:10 > 0:20:14suffering the consequences.
0:20:14 > 0:20:21With hundreds of thousands of people still without power.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23In the first of two reports, the BBC's Aleem Maqbool returned
0:20:23 > 0:20:26to Puerto Rico to see how life has changed and assess the response.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30There are sights in Puerto Rico that make it look like the hurricane
0:20:30 > 0:20:31struck just yesterday.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35Everyone has a tale of trauma still fresh in the mind.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38"We grabbed what we could and ran out," she says.
0:20:38 > 0:20:39"But everywhere was blocked.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42We managed to get up there and we heard the noise.
0:20:42 > 0:20:52The house just came away and collapsed."
0:20:52 > 0:20:55The problem is, in six months, little has moved on for her.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58She and her family run pipes from a nearby spring to get water
0:20:58 > 0:21:00to the abandoned building where they have been living.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02And there is still no power.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04So what help have they had from the American agencies?
0:21:04 > 0:21:07"We applied to help but we were told we weren't entitled to any,"
0:21:07 > 0:21:10she says, "we put in an appeal, but we are still waiting
0:21:10 > 0:21:11for an answer."
0:21:11 > 0:21:12Puerto Ricans are American citizens.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14They can go backwards and forwards to the US
0:21:14 > 0:21:17mainland as they please and, crucially, they are entitled
0:21:17 > 0:21:19to the same disaster response from Washington as any other
0:21:19 > 0:21:22Americans.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26You will find very few here who believe that is what they got.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30The family of Raul Jimenez think he could still be alive if there had
0:21:30 > 0:21:32been a more urgent response.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34After the storm, the clinic where he got dialysis
0:21:34 > 0:21:36was without electricity.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38It meant patients would have to miss treatments or wait
0:21:38 > 0:21:42hours hoping to be seen.
0:21:42 > 0:21:49He was in the wheelchair, quiet.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51He died.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Died in the line waiting for treatment?
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Died in the line.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Any true count of the number who were killed by the hurricane
0:21:58 > 0:22:01will include people like Raul.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05But, until now, the official figure doesn't.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09The government wants to show some kind of numbers.
0:22:09 > 0:22:19But it is not the reality.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21They want us to believe that all is OK.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Under pressure, the government has ordered a recount of those
0:22:23 > 0:22:24killed by Hurricane Maria.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Some estimate the new number could be nearly 20 times
0:22:27 > 0:22:29the original figure and, all the while, for so many,
0:22:29 > 0:22:39the suffering continues.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42So much heartbreak after that hurricane.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44The world's last surviving male northern white
0:22:44 > 0:22:45rhino has died in Kenya.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48The animal named Sudan was 45 years old and had been
0:22:48 > 0:22:58ill for many months.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Now only his daughter and grandaughter are the only ones
0:23:00 > 0:23:02left of the subspecies in the world.
0:23:02 > 0:23:12Alastair Leithead has this report.
0:23:16 > 0:23:21The gene pool is already small. The two remaining northern white rhinos
0:23:21 > 0:23:27are his daughter and his granddaughter. The last hope for
0:23:27 > 0:23:29this subspecies is an IVF technique that has never been tried. It would
0:23:29 > 0:23:35depend on a circuit southern white rhino.There have over the last
0:23:35 > 0:23:39three or four years, been attempts to develop what are referred to as
0:23:39 > 0:23:42artificial reproductive techniques, in particular in vitro fertilisation
0:23:42 > 0:23:47to recover this species. It's massively complex and it is
0:23:47 > 0:23:50massively expensive. It has never been done in rhinos before. So the
0:23:50 > 0:23:56chances of it working are probably fairly remote.The last of northern
0:23:56 > 0:24:02white rhino's seen in the wild were here in the national park. In a
0:24:02 > 0:24:05northern Democratic Republic of Congo. But that was many years ago.
0:24:05 > 0:24:11They were polished as being extinct in the wild in 2008. An epidemic of
0:24:11 > 0:24:14bulging for rhino horn in the 1970s and 80s wiped out many of these
0:24:14 > 0:24:19ancient animals and Central Africa. And gradually, those in captivity
0:24:19 > 0:24:24have died of old age. Sudan had been sick for some time. That put him
0:24:24 > 0:24:28down when it was clear and illness brought on by old age was causing
0:24:28 > 0:24:34him pain. This is where the last two surviving northern white rhinos
0:24:34 > 0:24:41live. And the armed guard 24 hours a day. Such is the continuing threat
0:24:41 > 0:24:44to this endangered species. There are now just 30,000 rhinos left on
0:24:44 > 0:24:51the planet. Sudan was unusual of his kind because he died of old age. BBC
0:24:51 > 0:24:57News, in northern Kenya.
