Facebook's share price continues

to slide after revelations

revelations of a data breach.

The UK authorities are seeking

a warrant to search the offices

of the British firm that harvested

Facebook data.

Everybody wants to speak

to Mark Zuckerberg.

There are plenty of questions,

so why is he not appearing publicly

to give us the answers?

President Trump calls

Vladimir Putin to congratulate him

on his re-election and says the two

leaders could meet soon.

We will, er, probably get together

in the not-too-distant

future, so that we can

discuss, er, arms.

We can discuss the arms race.

Just four days before

students prepare to march

for stronger gun control,

after another school shooting

in the state of Maryland.

Also on the programme:

Six months after Hurricane Maria

ripped a path of destruction

through Puerto Rico,

residents are still

struggling to recover.

On the edge of extinction -

the last male northern white

rhino dies in Kenya.

There are now just two

females left in the world.

Get in touch with us

using the hashtag.

Hello and welcome.

I'm Katty Kay, in New York.

And Christian Fraser is in London.

From Berlin to Washington to London,

politicians are expressing serious

concern about Facebook and its lax

approach to users' data.

Facebook's share price fell again

today, under mounting

scrutiny of its role

in recent election campaigns.

The UK's Information Commissioner

is applying for a warrant to search

the offices of the London-based

political consulting firm

Cambridge Analytica -

which is accused of harvesting

the personal data of 50

million Facebook members,

to influence the US presidential

election in 2016.

Here's our business

editor, Simon Jack.

In the information age,

personal data is the new currency,

and we spend it liberally

on social media platforms.

How old we are, whether we

are in a relationship,

what our political leanings are -

this could be gathered and used.

Cambridge Analytica is a company

which does exactly that,

and it's at the centre of a storm

that has rocked some of the biggest

companies in the world.

It started with an app,

which invited Facebook users

to do a personality test.

270,000 downloaded it.

It collected personal information

on them, their friends,

their friends' friends,

and so on, until it had info

on 50 million users.

But that data was passed

to Cambridge Analytica,

which allegedly used it to influence

the Presidential election in the US,

using highly targeted messages -

a charge denied by the company.

The UK's data watchdog

said she'd had concerns

about the company for some time.

These allegations are very serious.

They came to the attention

of our office some months ago and,

on March 7th, I issued a demand

for information to Cambridge.

They did not comply with that,

so now I am moving ahead to seek

a warrant, so I can search

premises and data.

Separately, Cambridge Analytica

executives were secretly filmed

by Channel 4 giving advice on how

to influence politicians.

Cambridge Analytica said it has been

grossly misrespected.

Whether this tiny consultancy

was involved in influencing

the US election, there

is an old adage which says

that if the services

you're getting are free,

then you are the product,

served up to advertisers

who are convinced that

highly targeted messages -

constructed around detailed personal

information - really work.

Since the scandal broke,

Facebook has seen £50 billion

wiped off its value.

And the pressure on the company

was cranked up today,

when the Federal Trade Commission

announced it will investigate

its handling of customer data.

It has the power to

levy enormous fines.

Facebook denies any wrongdoing.

So, could this be a moment

of reckoning for the

way our data is used?

For the first time, things

that people suspected

have surfaced, thanks

to the testimony of whistle-blowers.

Now we're finally seeing

that the leaders of these companies

are being called to testify

in front of Parliament.

Analysts are dumping their stock,

as a vote of no confidence.

This is a real moment that

will incentivise change.

The facts of our lives have value.

Mark Zuckerberg will have the chance

to tell MPs how safely

that information is kept.

Simon Jack, BBC News.

And we are getting news that the CEO

of Cambridge, Alex next, has been

suspended from his job. The company

involved in that undercover

operation.

Some members of the US

Judiciary Committee are calling

for Facebook's Chief Executive,

Marc Zuckberg, to come and give

evidence, but the Chairman isn't

committing to make that call.

Here is a flavour from Capitol Hill.

I think...

I think we have a problem out there.

And what I said during

the last hearing, that

if the industry won't solve

these kinds of problems themselves,

then we'll have to solve

them with legislation.

It's very serious, what Facebook has

done, and it violates privacy.

We ought to be looking into it,

but I can't promise

a hearing at this point.

For more on this unfolding story,

we spoke a brief time ago

with Democratic Senator Sheldon

Whitehouse, who sits

on the Judiciary Committee.

Senator, I want to get your reaction

to these latest revelations about

Cambridge Analytica, Facebook and

the role they both played in the

Trump election.

Well, they are two

separate aspects. One is to make

sure that Facebook lets its

customers know who has been

compromised. And what information of

theirs has been demised. And I think

they should explain to Congress and

the American people how this was

able to happen. So that we can be

sure that it will not happen again,

which is a goal that Facebook ought

to share with all of us. The second,

it is, located in to look into the

role of Cambridge Analytica, both

here in our election and potentially

in your Brexit election and see to

what extent they were involved in

manipulating voters. That is going

to be a touchy issue for our

Republican colleagues because this

was an effort paid for by one of the

billionaires that is backing the

Republican Party, the Mercer family.

So not sure we are going to get a

lot of bipartisanship on that.

Back

in October when the tech giants

testified in the Senate, is said you

wished they would stop making it

like this was no big deal. From the

reaction of Facebook over the last

couple of days, they learn that

lesson?

I think so. When stock

prices move, that tends to get

Management's attention and I suspect

a lot of their customers are

personally concerned about exactly

what was given to this Cambridge

Analytica crowd and what became of

the data. Once data gets out, it is

really hard to draw it all back. And

testing whether or not it is world

away in various servers or it has

been forwarded on to other entities,

all that needs to be proven to

customers and I hope Congress will

take a strong interest in making

sure all that happens.

Senator, in

the footage broadcast over here on

Channel 4 last night, the CEO of

Cambridge Analytica was offering

services that go beyond data

harvesting and some seem to amount

to entrapment. He says the film

grossly overstate that, what you

say?

He ought have the chance to,

for US Congress and your Parliament

and explain how those recordings of

him misrepresent what he said on

those recordings. He is entitled, I

suppose, to that chance. I expect he

would rather just say what he said

is trudge away. I don't know we will

see him appearing in Congress or

Parliament. But I hope he has a

chance to explain himself.

They hold

the data of 50 million Americans and

Facebook sent in data analysts and

lawyers into their offices last

night. There were boxes removed from

the office last Wednesday, there is

concern on this side that may be the

horse has already bolted. So when

you get Facebook before the

committee, will you be asking them

what they were doing in Cambridge

Analytica's office?

Yes, I think we

will have an obvious concern about

understanding how this took place in

the first instance, how they

apparently sold this tens of

millions of dollars of American data

to this group. And second, how they

are cleaning it up and how they can

assure themselves that by going to

the first stop of the data,

Cambridge Analytica, they know that

it is actually not available to

Cambridge Analytica or two others in

further Shell corporations or

further servers. As you pointed out,

once the horse has bolted, it can be

very hard to get it back in the

stall.

Senator, it is very good to

talk to you, thank you.

My pleasure.

I don't know if it will make it

easier now for the US Senate to get

hold of Alexander Nix and to ask

questions, but he has now been

suspended as CEO of Cambridge

Analytica. A lot of people wanting

to ask a lot of questions. And we

mentioned Facebook's share price

falling, that is happening to other

tech and social media companies,

Twitter share price is down.

Snapchat is also down by 4%. So a

lot of focus on social media and

their role in elections and whether

they are trustworthy.

I was wondering, with the greatest

respect, the senior investigators on

the Senate committee, my concern has

been since the Russians started --

Russian story starters, a lot of

them are offered different

generation and do not understand the

story. I am looking at a message

from the correspondent of the

observer who has been digging into

Cambridge Analytica and this goes

back to May 2017. Why is the

Information Commissioner, Elizabeth

Denham, only now applying for a

warrant to get into those officers?

I did put that to Damian Collins

yesterday, the chair of the

committee investigating in the UK.

And he says, the Information

Commissioner is acting within the

current legislation. She launches an

enquiry and you can issue

information notices and you can

follow up and the warrant stage is

not -- is the last stage. They are

debating this Parliament and he

accepts the Commission does not have

enough powers and they have to give

her those powers.

Do they not have enough powers or do

they not realise the gravity of the

problem? This may change that.

Donald Trump has called

Vladimir Putin to congratulate him

on his re-election, and says

he would meet the Russian

leader in the near future.

Both actions are

pretty controversial.

Other Western leaders have refrained

from congratulating Mr Putin.

And any meeting between Mr Trump

and the Russian President

in the midst of an investigation

about Moscow's meddling

in the US election is bound

to raise eyebrows -

which may be what

Donald Trump likes.

I had a, er, call with President

Putin and congratulated him

on the victory, his electoral

victory.

The, er, call had to do also

with the fact that we will probably

get together in the not-too-distant

future so that we can discuss arms.

We can discuss the arms race.

As you know, he made a statement

that being in an arms race

is not a great thing,

and it was right after the election,

one of the first statements he made.

Mr Trump's decision to congratulate

Mr Putin on an election race that

had no real opposition has already

met criticism in the US.

Senator John McCain - a known hawk

in the Republican Party -

released a statement saying,

"An American president does

not lead the Free World

by congratulating dictators

on winning sham elections."

And Sarah Huckabee Sanders was

giving the White House briefing and

she was nearly as almost exclusively

about this meeting and

congratulating President Putin on

the election and whether the was a

good idea and whether Mr Trump belt

it has been a free and fair

election. This is what she said.

Putin has been elected in their

country and that is not something

that we can dictate to them how they

operate.

We can only focus on the freeness

and the fairness of our elections,

and that's something that we 100%

fully support and something

that we are going to continue

to protect, to make sure bad actors

don't have the opportunity

to impact them in any way.

So no comments today to President

Putin about the poisoning in

Salisbury.

But I am going to raise you with my

Jean-Claude Juncker European

Commission President statement.

Similar reaction to John McCain from

Guy Verhofstadt, very senior in the

European Parliament. No, we don't

have that. He says, this is not a

time for rather congratulatory

messages. There was concern in the

European Parliament that it was a

bit too if you sit. There it is.

There will be a lot of people who

feel that way. Quickly, what do you

think about the fact that he did not

raise the issue of poisoning? He

seems to have gone out of his way

not to offend anyone today.

And did not raise the overshoot --

the issue of election interference

in that call which will get

criticism. This administration is

not interested in pushing human

rights democracy around the world,

this is a transactional foreign

policy of the Trump administration.

Talking of which, he also had

another visitor in the White House

today.

Mohammed bin Salman,

the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia,

is Donald Trump's new good friend.

The two men talked to reporters

after meetings in the White House.

Bin Salman is on something

of a sales pitch for the Kingdom -

travelling across the country

to woo US investors.

But the relationship is not

without controversy.

A resolution condemning

Saudi Arabia's involvement

in the war in Yemen is due

for a vote in the Senate today.

For the White House, however,

it seems having an ally

in the region to stand against Iran

outweighs the risks of closer

ties with the country.

The founder of the Arabia Foundation

is joining us. You know Mohammed bin

Salman and you have close relations

with him, how does he want to

improve Saudi Arabia's relationship

with the Trump Administration, what

does he want from that

administration?

Saudi Arabia always

has have close relations with an

American government. The Prince has

worked hard to have closer than --

close relationships with the Trump

Administration as previous

monarchies have worked to have.

Relations are very close. There is a

meeting of minds on things like

Iran, Saudi Arabia and the US and

the White House are on the same

page. And Prince Mohammed is

overhauling the country in the

economy. He has a lot of ambitious

economic plans. American business

has a big role to play in that. He's

coming to America to interact with a

lot of business leaders across the

country. Some of them Saudi Arabia

will be investing their companies

through its public investment fund,

but many others it is inviting to

invest and participate in vision

2030, the masterplan to restructure

the Saudi economy. So there is a lot

on the table and a lot of shared

interest.

So that is what the Saudis

want, what they don't want is

criticism of Saudi Arabia's war in

Yemen and there is this resolution

going forwards in the US Senate, a

lot of criticism from Congress about

the role Saudi Arabia is playing in

Yemen, especially that something

like 5,000 civilians have died in

that war. Should Mohammed bin Salman

not the answering those questions in

America as well?

Well, this

resolution in Congress and it is a

bit of domestic politics getting

mixed up with foreign policy because

also, the senators are using that to

try and restrict the war powers act

and the power of the President to

commit forces overseas. So they are

really using the subject more to

control the presidency than

particularly focusing on the Yemen

issue. Yemen is a tragedy, wars are

tragedies and Saudi Arabia is aware

of that and going out of its way to

address the humanitarian problems.

But Saudi Arabia's Security has been

threatened. It sees a militia allied

to around growing on its Southern

border and it felt it had to take

action. People who are not

threatened, or far away from the

border, can afford to be more

judgmental about it. But if your

security is threatened as a

government, you have a

responsibility to act and

unfortunately, they always cause

human suffering.

Thank you very much

for joining us. Important visit and

important issues. And we will return

to that later.

Another shooting in another

school in America.

Two students have been injured

at a high school in Maryland -

not far from the US capital.

The shooter died in hospital

after engaging in gunfire

with the school's security officer.

Officials say one female and one

male student are still in critical

condition in hospital.

This incident comes just four days

before the March For Our Lives

protest takes place in Washington,

urging lawmakers to support

stricter gun control laws.

Students coming from all around the

country this weekend. And that

shooting will be very much in their

minds, as will be the shooting in

Florida. There is one aspect of this

which is quite interesting. That is

that the school, what you call them

in America? The law enforcement

officer.

Security officer.

He was involved in shooting the

shooter. That would be flagged up by

Donald Trump, who has advocated for

that.

Yes, they are all all. Is. This was

on my local news this morning in

Washington. -- they are all terrible

stories. The shooter had a

relationship with the girl in the

school and that may have

precipitated this, but it seems

different from Park and because the

officer responded in one minute and

was there engaging with the shooter.

Maybe there could have been more

share and people killed, but this

much will revive focus on this

issue.

We focus a lot on that -- natural

tragedies, but not this one.

It has been exactly six months

since Hurricane Maria struck the US

territory of Puerto Rico -

and the island is still

suffering the consequences.

At the time the storm ripped

a deadly path of destruction

but today hundreds of thousands

still haven't had their

power restored or help

with rebuilding homes.

The US Government has been

criticised for a lack

of urgency and response.

In the first of two reports this

week, Aleem Maqbool looks at how

the disaster has changed life

in Puerto Rico and where

the greatest needs remain.

There are sights in Puerto Rico that

can look like the hurricane

struck just yesterday.

Everyone has a tale of trauma

still fresh in the mind.

We grabbed what we could

and ran out, she says.

But everywhere was blocked.

We managed to get up

there and we heard the noise.

The house just came

away and collapsed.

The problem is, in six months,

little has moved on.

She and her family run pipes

from a nearby spring to get water

to the abandoned building

where they've been living.

And there is still no power.

So what help have they had

from the American agencies here?

We applied for help,

but we were told we weren't

entitled to any, she says.

We've put in an appeal, but we're

still waiting for an answer.

Puerto Ricans are American citizens.

They can go backwards

and forwards to the US mainland

as they please.

And crucially, they're entitled

to the same disaster response

from Washington as any other

Americans.

You'll find very few

here who believe that

that is what they got.

The family of Raul Jiminez believe

he could still be alive if there had

been a more urgent response.

After the storm, the clinic

where he got dialysis

was without electricity.

It meant patients would have

to miss treatments or wait

hours hoping to be seen.

He was in the wheelchair quiet...

Died.

He died in the line,

waiting for treatment?

Died in the line.

Any true count of the number

who were killed by the hurricane

would include people like Raul.

But until now, the official

figures doesn't.

The government want to show some

kind of numbers that

is not the reality.

They want us to believe

that all is OK.

Under pressure, the government has

ordered a recount of those

killed by Hurricane Maria.

Some estimate the new number

could be nearly 20 times

the original figure.

And all the while, for so many,

the suffering continues.

Aleem is now back in Washington

and joins us now to talk

about what he found on his trip.

How is it possible the richest

country in the world cannot put the

power back on in Puerto Rico?

I

suppose it has to be remembered

firstly that logistically, this is

arguably the most difficult natural

disaster the US has had to deal

with. It is an Ireland of 3.5

million people and the power grid

was almost totally destroyed.

Certainly well over 85% of the grid

was destroyed, so it has taken time.

But there is a sense that from

Puerto Ricans we spoke to that they

did not feel they were being treated

like other Americans. And they had

complaints not just about the

American Federal response, but about

incompetence and even corruption

within their own administration as

well. So that was their complaint.

But certainly, the Americans will

point to the fact that in the

capital, San Juan, much of the power

has been restored, although you will

see a lot of traffic lights still

out and a lot of traffic accidents.

But when you get into the rural

areas, the sad thing was, we go to

some of these places and people

would say they have not seen any

work being done, they have not been

told when they will have worked on,

when they will get their power back.

And believe me, at the beginning of

this crisis after the hurricane, we

lived for a couple of days, me and

our team, without power. It was

extremely frustrating. These people

had been doing it for six months and

it is perhaps no surprise that the

suicide rate in the Puerto Rico has

increased dramatically as well over

that time.

Thanks very much. It is great that

you got back. Before we go, sad

story.

The last remaining male northern

white rhinoceros has died,

bringing the sub-species one step

closer to extinction.

Yes, the 45-year-old rhino,

called "Sudan", was put down

after suffering an illness related

to old age.

Only two other northern white rhinos

are now left - both females.

45-year-old white man looking

extent, that is not make me think of

anyone! You met Sudan, but you could

not match his tinder profile. I

never thought I would ask you if you

had a tender profile but he did, and

he said, I perform well under

pressure, I liked eat grass and

chill in the mud. Not you. 6-foot

tall and £5,000, if it matters, I

love that! A rhino with a Sudan

profile!

Why did you leave out the bids, the

fake of my species literally depends

on me? That is the most relevant

bit.

I got stuck!

I tried that years ago, it tried 20

years for that to work!

This is Beyond 100

Days, from the BBC.

Coming up for viewers on the BBC

News Channel and BBC World News...

US authorities are investigating

whether a fourth bombing in Texas

is the work of a serial attacker.

Two people have been

killed in recent weeks.

We'll hear from a former

Deputy Director of the FBI,

for his take on the matter.

Good evening. The first day of the

astronomical spring and a fair

amount of sunshine. Splendid

afternoon across Scotland. Blue

skies through the day. Across

England and Wales, after a bright

stars, more cloud around in central

areas. It stayed dry in Northampton

but some source and spots of rain

and sleet. Tomorrow, the weather

comes from the Atlantic. On the

satellite image, cloud is gripping

towards us. The clear breaks across

Scotland and Northern Ireland will

drift South across England and

Wales. Clearing skies here,

temperatures drop in the furthest.

After initial frost in Scotland and

Northern Ireland, rain spreads to

the Hebrides and many areas frost

free. Frost to eastern parts of

Scotland but why do Frosty across

England and Wales. The coldest

conditions in the West Midlands,

Wales and North West England. -4, -6

tomorrow morning. Chilly morning

commute but lovely bright day for

much of England and Wales. Early

mist and fog clears. It clouds over

a bit but still we have dry weather.

Further North, morning brightness

but already cloudy in Western

Scotland and Northern Ireland with

occasional rain. Heavier rain on the

hell is spreading towards Cumbria,

Northern England and North Wales

later. And some rain in the East of

Scotland. The cloud breaks here into

the afternoon, it could hit 12

degrees in Aberdeenshire. After the

chilly start, even than Wales

achieving 7-10dC but still feeling

cool in Northern England with a

cloud in place. Even here, milder

air on Thursday which pushes in off

the Atlantic. Ick. By the end of the

week but still, winds off the

Atlantic so nowhere near as cold.

After patchy rain into Thursday, it

brightens up to eastern areas with

sunny spells. Clouding over in the

West without breaks of rain later,

strung together. And is, but all in

double big temperatures, 12, 13, 14

Celsius in some parts of eastern

Scotland. Rain on Thursday night and

into Friday which clears eastern

areas on Friday, sunny spells here

and showers from the West. They

could be heavy with hale and

thunder, blustery day with longer

spells a rain into Western Scotland

and the North of Northern Ireland

later. Temperatures still into

double figures.

This is Beyond One

Hundred Days, with me

Katty Kay in Washington -

Christian Fraser's in London.

Our top stories.

Lawmakers call for

Facebook chairman,

Mark Zuckerberg, to give evidence

about the use of personal data

by London-based company,

Cambridge Analytica.

President Trump has called

Russian President Vladimir

Putin to congratulate him

on his election victory.

Coming up in the next half hour.

A parcel has exploded in Texas

in what police suspect

to be the latest in a series

of bombings targeting Austin.

So far two people have died and six

have been injured in the attacks.

The EU will continue to set

the quotas of how much fish can

be caught in UK waters

during the Brexit transition period,

causing anger amongst

the British fishing industry.

Let us know your thoughts

by using the hashtag

'Beyond-One-Hundred-Days'.

US authorities are

investigating whether serial

bomber is on the loose in Texas.

A parcel bomb exploded at a FedEx

depot near San Antonio today -

the fourth bomb to go off

in the state in xx weeks.

-- in the state.

Two people have died

in these bombings,

two more have been injured.

There's so far no indication

who's behind them or even

whether they're coordinated.

But 500 FBI agents are now

working on the case.

Today president Trump

addressed the incidents.

This is obviously a very,

very sick individual

or maybe individuals.

These are sick people

and we will get to the bottom of it.

We will be very strong.

We have all sorts of federal

agencies over there right

now, we're searching

what is going on in Austin,

a great place, tremendous place.

And for more on the

investigation into this case

I spoke a short time ago

with Ron Hosko, Former Deputy

Director of the FBI.

Ron, this is a really curious case

what is happening down in Texas.

What is your read on it?

It is very concerning.

First we had a round

of bombs that were,

what sounds like hand delivered,

presumably to targets of the bomber,

you know, specific targets.

Presumably his desired victims.

And a handful of people injured.

And then some relative silence

for a few days and now we have had

some additional bombings that have

come using a different

methodology, not hand-delivered

but run with a tripwire.

Another one put into FedEx,

the delivery chain, for FedEx.

And some additional ones

in the delivery chain

now that are being looked

at by law enforcement.

So the methodology has changed.

We do not know if the subject has

had these devices built already over

time or has them stockpiled.

Has the additional components

for additional devices.

It is very concerning.

You say this subject, you are

assuming that it is one person?

I am, you know if we look back

at bombers over time they tend

to be angry individuals

who have a purpose in mind.

Whether it is, you know,

the Unabomber, you know it's

certainly a very solitary person,

very capable and deadly,

going to the killer of Judge Vance

and other bombers, other bombings

in Georgia and in the Florida area.

Eric Robert Rudolph,

the Centennial Park bomber,

who also bombed an abortion

provider in Alabama.

These folks tend to work

by themselves, they do not

tend to be in teams,

people working in concert.

So it remains to be seen.

Maybe there are other

people and of course

that is what the appeal

is through the media,

by law enforcement now,

for the public to come out as well.

So if you're running this

case what are the clues

you are looking at?

Well first there are a couple

of different channels

going on right now.

One is the forensics of the devices

that they can recover.

In the post-blast investigation

that is very detailed examination

of anything that came out

of the already exploded devices.

They're looking for DNA,

for fingerprints, essentially

the bomber's signature

and what type of initiation,

what were the explosive components

and how was it constructed.

What was the shrapnel.

So they're looking for all of that.

They're looking at the victimology

to see if there is any

link to the victims

or intended victims.

What are you doing to try

to prevent future attacks?

Well I'm doing what they're doing,

which is going to media,

recognising that this

is the opportunity for the best

partnership between law enforcement,

through the media, to the public.

They may have 500 agents

on the ground down there

but that is no match for thousands

and thousands of eyes

of the community, of

a loved one, a neighbour.

Somebody who sees something

of concern and says

you know who did that,

that is my next-door neighbour.

I see him in his garage at night.

So that has to be leveraged,

that is what they're trying to do.

If you see something, say something.

Thank you very much.

You're welcome.

Gary O'Donoghue joins us

live now from Austin.

While they are saying nothing and

they give up West conference and

Whitley refused to answer specific

questions. They've been on the scene

by about ten or 11 hours by that

stage was up compare that to what

happened on Sunday, by Monday

morning they were telling us the

bombing there was linked to the

three previous ones even though it

was a different kind of delivery,

this tripwire across the pavement.

So I think either they're having

some trouble down there working out

exactly what was in the bomb or they

are giving information back for some

particular reason. They're not

saying, not confirming it was a

package destined for them to or had

come from there in the first place.

Or that it contained the shrapnel.

One interesting fact is one of the

relatives of the men injured on

Sunday, those two young white men

who were walking along and trip the

tripwire, one of the relatives of

the men said he thought his son had

had nails driven into his knees by

the explosion. That would be an

interesting connection. But at this

stage there not tying this book

bombing in 18 days to both other

once just yet.

I was reading today

one of the most longest-running FBI

investigations was backed into the

Unabomber. It took them a long time

of course to get in touch with him

and find out what his motives were.

Are they looking with regards this

investigation at the signature of

these bombs because they have been

different, one was a tripwire, won a

parcel bomb on a doorstep presumably

this one a bit different. Someone

who has a platter of skills.

While

this one might not be different to

the first three if you think about

it. They said FedEx, the police said

FedEx was not the target told could

well be that this was a parcel bomb

aimed for a specific individual like

the first three. That went off

prematurely. That is a perfectly

viable possibility. Of course there

will look at the mechanisms inside

the bombs. Initially they said the

first three bombings, they contained

readily available household items

that had been constructed. They're

not saying anything like as much

detail as that now but if you were a

member with the Unabomber, it took

years for them to catch him. Those

bombings were much more spread apart

and eventually of course the

Washington Post and New York Times

published his old manifesto sometime

before the court in this stage no

idea of the motivation as far as we

can tell.

Of course Austin is a big

place but it does start to play on

people's minds when we have five,

then they cannot catch this guy.

Back in 2002 they had this sniper in

Washington snooping - sniping at the

back of a van and you get this fear

and suspicion and worry.

I was Lily

in Washington at that time and when

this happened in Austin you think

back to it. It just imprints itself

on your memory and when the sniper

was out there my kids could not

leave their classrooms during

playground time, they never went

outside. We did not go to the park

after school just because we did not

know whether a school playground or

park was going to be the next

target. So desperately limited

peoples lives and I would be if you

went to playground in Austin at the

moment I bet they would be empty and

stop because you never know if

you're going to be the next target.

And they will do until they find out

who's this.

In the last half an hour -

further revelations have surfaced

on the work Cambridge Analytica did

for the Donald Trump

presidential election campaign.

In a report on Channel 4 News the

frame appeared to claim that it ran

key parts of the strategy for Donald

Trump. It was secretly recorded

discussing coordination between the

Trump campaign and other sources.

Let's bring in our North America

Editor Jon Sopel who's

been sitting across the latest

revelations from Channel 4.

That is focusing on the role

specifically in the Trump campaign.

What have the company been saying.

While they have been caught

red-handed with their hands in the

cookie jar it seems. Either

Cambridge Analytica are full of BS

or they have been up to no good. It

is hard to draw any other conclusion

from listening to what has been

said. They are either up to Black

Ops and honey traps and blackmail

and covert recordings and all the

rest of it or they are making it all

up in which case neither of them are

a good look. What is interesting

about what came out this evening on

Channel 4 News, the suggestion of

just how and for their work in the

Trump campaign. And help open it

was. The cost if you think about the

way political campaign finance is

structured in the US there is a

strict separation between what are

called these super packs, the

funding bodies, and the Trump

campaign. It seems much information

was bleeding between the two and a

chief executive of Cambridge and the

little girl who has been now

suspended as the company tries to

salvage its reputation, was making

it seem like yes, we were working

with everyone involved alongside and

I think that brings up some

questions about electoral finance

and electoral law in the US about

what they were up to.

Not just in

the US, clearly this is to be some

implication that Cambridge Analytica

has been involved in political

campaigns in Europe as well. And

perhaps not surprisingly seen Steve

Bannon initially appearing with the

National front in France as well.

Also someone who has been tied up

with Cambridge analytic.

Yes and

Steve Bannon was on the board of

Cambridge Analytica and the Mercer

family, very well-known in the as

being big funders of Donald Trump,

they were the people who got very

interested in Cambridge Analytica I

wanted to put Steve Bannon on the

board and so there is a close link

between Cambridge analytic and the

Trump organisation and if you look

at some of the Black Ops but went on

during the Trump campaign, the

smearing of Hillary Clinton,

Cambridge analytic in the latest bit

of covert recording there has been

released claimed responsibility for

all of it. They said they were the

masters of it, they designed the

strategy, delivered on it, they were

the ones who delivered the victory

to Donald Trump in 2016.

Uncomfortable place for the

president at the moment to have

someone like that saying yes, we did

it all. Because Donald Trump of

course I said it was his brilliance

that led to that election victory

and that he was the campaign

maestro. So I think huge problems

for the reputation of Cambridge

analytic. A couple of months ago we

had a British company, a PR company,

go under because what they did in

South Africa. This starts to look

like small beer compared to what

Cambridge analytic have been

training at least in these

undercover recordings.

Interesting,

Steve Bannon in Italy last week,

sitting down in the basement of

Trump Tower with the French National

front leader. The one thing I

suppose, on this issue, the campaign

would say they use Cambridge

Analytica for the primaries and when

Donald Trump got the ticket he was

using data from the RNC because in

their view that as more trustworthy.

So the question is are Cambridge

analytic over again just how much

they were involved.

That is the

question I posed at the start, are

they just dragging and full of hot

air and nonsense all by the two that

sort of activity. Either way not a

good position for them to be in and

they are suffering enormous

reputational damage as a company

because everyone thought it was a

genius company that had

extraordinary insights as a result

of algorithmic tests on opinion

forming and all the rest of it. That

informed where each individual voter

thought and what vulnerabilities

would be. It seems there was a lot

of old-fashioned dirty work going on

as well.

Thank you very much for

joining us and you are right,

resident Trump will not like the

idea that anywhere else was

responsible for his victory. --

President Trump.

It's been three years

since the outbreak of war in Yemen.

Houthi rebels - backed by Iran -

remain in control of large

parts of the country -

including the capital Sana'a.

Fighting them are forces loyal

to the former president -

who are being backed

by Saudi airstrikes.

It's impossible to say

exactly how many people

the war has killed -

but we know thousands of civilians

have died and millions more have

been displaced as a result

of the conflict.

Children have especially suffered -

with famine and the worst cholera

outbreak in history affecting

hundreds of thousands of youngsters.

I'm joined now by the BBC's

chief international

correspondent Lyse Doucet,

who has recently

returned from Yemen.

We have been watching Euro series

from the ground. The Saudi Crown

Prince is in Washington today,

afraid transactional relationship

with the Middle East at the moment.

The Americans despise the

administration is concerned not so

involved in what is going on

day-to-day but the Senate more so

because they talk today about

whether America should be involved.

There was a bipartisan effort in

Congress to stop America aid for the

Saudi campaign in Yemen because they

are accused of carrying out war

crimes with their bombing which has

killed a high level of civilian

casualties according to the UN. When

we were in Riyadh a few weeks ago

the Saudis so does their command and

control centre and how they adhere

to the higher standards of

targeting, they go through all the

laws of war, humanitarian law,

trying to establish which targets

are proper targets and which are

civilian targets and should be

avoided. And all of that, they seem

to take every precaution but the

reality is on the ground that homes

are being hit, children been hit and

even though we could not get to the

capital as the Saudis have put on

restrictions. We were able to get

people to film for us and the

stories that came back are

horrendous.

You have covered many

war zones and I just wondered if you

could project forward, do the

trajectory for the war, how long it

might last. The Saudis seem to be in

it to make sure that there will not

be extremist on their border and

verbal fight as long as it takes. So

what happens then question mark well

there are couple of red lines for

the Saudis, Festival Yemen is the

neighbour and right on their border

and more than that, the foodie

rebels have long-range mystic

missiles that can reach Riyadh.

Dashed the 30s. Second point, even

more importantly, when they see

Yemen and the Houthis they see their

archrival Iran on their border and

that is something they will not

countenance. That is certainly on

the agenda in Washington this week

in conversations with President

Trump.

Good to see you, wish we

could talk more. We have a lot of

stories to get through, a busy day.

Still to come - more

on the upcoming wedding

of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry -

and we can bring you important news

about the wedding cake.

A two year old girl has died

after the car she was in

plunged into a river in Wales.

Kiara Moore was pulled

from the vehicle in the River

in Cardigan near her family's

outdoor pursuits business.

Her father said she had been left

in the car while the driver got

cash from the office.

When the driver returned,

the car was missing

and initially feared stolen.

The little girl would have

celebrated her third

birthday next Tuesday.

Police officers say they're

investigating the incident and have

appealed for witnesses.

From Cardigan, Tomos Morgan reports.

Kara Moore, just two years old.

Had it not been for the tragic

events of yesterday afternoon,

she would have been celebrating her

third birthday a week today.

It's understood that two-year-old

Kiara was left in the silver mini

while a family member went

into offices nearby.

By the time the family

member returned the car

car had disappeared.

The police were contacted

and a search was under way.

They believed the car to be stolen.

It transpired that the car was in

the River Teifl just yards away.

The toddler was airlifted

to the university hospital

of Wales in Cardiff,

but doctors were

unable to revive her.

Young families in the town today

have been paying their own tributes

by laying flowers by the river.

She was a very lively little girl.

Very smiley.

Cheeky little smile

she had all the time.

She...

Her and her mum were always

together, always fun days out.

And...

She had a happy little life.

Short life, but a happy little life.

Commenting on Facebook,

Kiara's father thanked the work

of the emergency services whilst

also paying tribute to his

daughter saying she had

an "amazing but short life."

It's unclear as to how the Mini came

to be in the River Teifl as family

and friends mourn the loss of young

Kiara the investigation into exactly

what happened continues.

Tomos Morgan, BBC News, Cardigan.

The Environment

Secretary Michael Gove

says he's "disappointed"

that the European Union

will continue to set quotas on how

much fish can be caught off

the coast of Britain

during the "transition

period" after Brexit.

He's told the Commons

that the Government would seek

to take back control of its waters

at the end of 2020 when

the UK is due to leave

the Common Fisheries Policy.

Let's take a quick

listen to what he said.

There is a significant

prize at the end of

the implementation period

and

it is important that all of us

in every area except that the

implementation period is a necessary

step towards securing that prize.

For coastal communities

it is an opportunity

to revive economically,

for our marine environment it is an

opportunity to be

managed sustainably.

And it is critical that all of us

in the interests of the

whole nation keep our

eyes on that prize.

Well that's what the secretary

of state had to say,

but what do people in the industry

affected by the policy think?

To find out more let's talk

to Bertie Armstrong,

who is the Chief Executive

of the Scottish Fishermen's

Federation, and joins us

from Aberdeen in Scotland

Great to have you on the show.

Putting it bluntly, the reaction

we've seen today suggests the

fishing communities around the UK

just do not have confidence that the

government will look after their

interests.

In the run-up to this we

had expected that sovereignty would

be retained, but is not the same as

not negotiating and allowing other

nations to have fishing

opportunities in any implementation

period. But sovereignty was

considered for an extra 21 months so

we are not impressed with that. That

was not meant to be in the plan.

However as long as cast-iron

guarantees, we understand the bigger

picture, as long as cast-iron

guarantees are given that the

implementation period will not be

allowed to be used by the EU to put

in place longer term arrangements to

our detriment, then that will be

fine. The Common fisheries policy is

remarkably distorted. This morning

we spoke to the Danish industry on

the radio and Denmark catches 40

times more fish in UK waters then we

catch in their waters. Grossly

distorted and it needs sorting out.

So a delay in that is not impressive

but we understand the wider picture

and just as long as we are

guaranteed it will not actually get

worse.

What material impact could

this have on the livelihoods of

Scottish fishermen?

The material

affect of Brexit for fishermen, this

should be a happy success story of

Brexit. We retain, the value of fish

landed by the UK is about £130

million a year. We keep 40% of the

fish that leave our waters, 60% of

the fish that leave our waters do so

in the hands of other European

nations. So the impact is an annual

loss at today's prices of

approximately £1 billion. We want to

get on with progressively recovering

that. So that is the effect on the

livelihoods of the coastal

communities all around the UK. That

lack of economic activity. We're

keeping on the community nights

around Europe and that will not do.

Michael Gove said today in the House

of Commons that of course he comes

from fishing stocks, his

grandparents were fishermen, his

father was involved in the fishing

industry as well. From what I'm

hearing, speaking to MPs, he is

fighting a battle within the Cabinet

to protect fisheries and take back

control but the Treasury sees it as

something to throw on the table as a

pawn for top card for cash, if you

will.

While the Chancellor made a

pretty sinister statement two

weekends ago on the fact that we

would be out and we would be free.

So that is not the case. We regard

ourselves right now is frankly

having been let down. There are many

politicians including Michael Gove

who has been a consistent supporter,

who supported us boldly and stuck

their necks out. But it was the

government 's both governments,

which let us down. One has kept this

in the CFB for another 20 months and

then they would have us back in it

full-time.

Thank you very much for

joining us. We have to leave it

there.

Kensington Palace has announced more

detail on the wedding

of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

They've said the cake

for the wedding will be made

by pastry chef Claire Ptak,

owner of the tiny Violet

Bakery in East London.

You needed that information!

The cake chosen

by the couple will be

a lemon elderflower cake,

covered in buttercream

and decorated with fresh flowers.

Ms Ptak says that she is 'delighted'

to be chosen and that she shares

the same values as Prince Harry

and Meghan Markle - about food

provenance, sustainability,

seasonality and flavour.

You read that with a lot of feeling!

We're going to do a special from

Windsor the day before the wedding!

Maybe we will try some cake. I'm not
