:00:28. > :00:32.Is Justin Trudeau taking over from President Obama.
:00:33. > :00:34.The Canadian Prime Minister is in Washington -
:00:35. > :00:36.it's the first official state visit of a Canadian leader
:00:37. > :00:38.to the White House for nearly 20 years.
:00:39. > :00:41.Myanmar has taken a big step towards choosing a new president.
:00:42. > :00:44.It won't be Aung San Suu Kyi, but it is likely to be one
:00:45. > :00:58.The European Central bank announces new measures for a dragging economy.
:00:59. > :01:01.A South African woman has been found guilty of kidnapping a newborn baby,
:01:02. > :01:07.who was reunited after 17 years with her biological family.
:01:08. > :01:15.And as we celebrate 25 years of BBC world News, we look at what is next
:01:16. > :01:32.in the world of television broadcasting.
:01:33. > :01:34.Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is in Washington.
:01:35. > :01:37.It's the first official state visit of a Canadian leader
:01:38. > :01:39.to the United States in nearly 20 years,
:01:40. > :01:42.The two countries have the longest common border and largest trading
:01:43. > :02:04.As the first US president to visit the Arctic, I saw how both our
:02:05. > :02:09.nations are put in by Arctic seas, disappearing glaziers and CIC. We
:02:10. > :02:18.are focusing on making sure the Paris agreement is implemented and
:02:19. > :02:24.also we are investing in research. The president and I will take action
:02:25. > :02:34.to reduce metal frame omissions by nearly half from the gas and oil
:02:35. > :02:49.sector. Reduce hurry for hybrids -- reduce hydrofluoric emissions. Let's
:02:50. > :02:56.cross to our correspondence. Why is a resident Trudeau there? Just
:02:57. > :03:01.intruder is the new liberal darling of North American leadership. What
:03:02. > :03:05.was interesting is there was President Obama who came into office
:03:06. > :03:11.eight years ago, full of hope and promise, and now he is welcoming his
:03:12. > :03:16.neighbour from the North who in many ways resembles Obama's 2008. This is
:03:17. > :03:22.what he was before Washington granting down and he realised he
:03:23. > :03:26.could not get much done. There is an affinity between these two leaders
:03:27. > :03:30.and there is a partnership between America and Canada which is hugely
:03:31. > :03:34.important to American business. Please stay with us. We will remind
:03:35. > :03:39.our visitors about what just intruder has been doing in these
:03:40. > :03:45.months since taking office. He has welcomed a number of Syrian refugees
:03:46. > :03:49.to the country. He has attended gay pride marches. When it comes to
:03:50. > :03:56.domestic politics, he has appointed an equal number of men and women to
:03:57. > :04:11.his cabinet. That created such a stir, such is -- so did this. He
:04:12. > :04:20.named baby pandas at a local zoo. Let's have a look at some of the
:04:21. > :04:28.tweets. Many people thinking that the cutest person is the Canadian
:04:29. > :04:34.president. Do you think Trudeau mania is an exaggeration? I have
:04:35. > :04:42.just spoken to a senator from Minnesota which has a 500 mile
:04:43. > :04:52.border with Canada. I asked if this was a love affair between the two
:04:53. > :05:00.countries. She says that just intruder has made Canada cool.
:05:01. > :05:04.People are feeling the bright spark of Justin Trudeau's Prime Minister
:05:05. > :05:10.ship and there is still a lot of excitement here. We have more to
:05:11. > :05:20.talk to you about, but we will go to this first. What is happening in the
:05:21. > :05:27.US primaries. Let us get you up to date on that big question whether
:05:28. > :05:35.Donald Trump can take the Republican nomination. Donald Trump has won 458
:05:36. > :05:43.delegates. It is the delegate count that matters. He needs 1237 to win.
:05:44. > :05:47.If no candidate gets to that magic number, we are looking at the big
:05:48. > :06:01.showdown which is known as a brokered convention.
:06:02. > :06:07.The race for the White House has been a mad scramble with the
:06:08. > :06:12.candidates scrapping for votes. At times it descended into child's
:06:13. > :06:16.play. The action is nonstop and frantic as the candidates go from
:06:17. > :06:20.state to state to win support. Win a caucus at a primary and you get
:06:21. > :06:24.delegates to the National Convention. Donald Trump has the
:06:25. > :06:33.most so far. John Casey has hardly any, but Donald Trump does not have
:06:34. > :06:39.enough yet to secure the nomination. If he gets 1237, he gets the
:06:40. > :06:50.nomination. If he does not, we enter a brokered convention, which is a
:06:51. > :06:55.political freefall. Other candidates will be thrown back into the mix.
:06:56. > :07:05.These conventions used to be the norm. Sometimes they were
:07:06. > :07:13.acrimonious and it could take days, even weeks to settle on a nominee.
:07:14. > :07:22.After the 26 men nomination, they stride angrily from the delegate
:07:23. > :07:27.haul. Anyone can come out on top, so it could mean John Casey wins the
:07:28. > :07:31.most. Maybe he has done the most arm-twisting. Theoretically, it does
:07:32. > :07:37.not have to be one of the top four who wins. Donald Trump will not go
:07:38. > :07:40.down without a fight. But given that the establishment is against him,
:07:41. > :07:53.this could come down to a good old-fashioned bab Paul. -- bar
:07:54. > :08:03.brawl. It's good to be hard to know when to book your holiday. There is
:08:04. > :08:06.a chance that it could happen this time around that if other candidates
:08:07. > :08:12.stay in the race they could deprive Donald Trump of that magic 1237
:08:13. > :08:17.delegates. Then we go to Cleveland at the end of July. We are probably
:08:18. > :08:21.putting on Ryan year because it could be one of the most tense
:08:22. > :08:26.places in America because if Donald Trump's supporters feel the gets
:08:27. > :08:31.more delicate than anyone else, but does not get the nomination, all
:08:32. > :08:34.hell could break loose. They will be furious. They will save the
:08:35. > :08:38.establishment has stolen the nomination from them and Donald
:08:39. > :08:51.Trump deserves to be the candidate and just because Washington stopped
:08:52. > :08:54.him, he could not do it. It is going to be an open convention and it will
:08:55. > :08:58.be decided by the people who are there. You have been to conventions
:08:59. > :09:05.and so have I will stop people who turn up where these fantastic hats.
:09:06. > :09:09.They are certainly not all white men and it will be interesting to see
:09:10. > :09:14.how that process plays out. It could also possibly be quite valid. We
:09:15. > :09:16.will be talking to you all the way through that process. Thank you for
:09:17. > :09:19.bringing us up to date. Myanmar has changed hugely
:09:20. > :09:21.over the last few years, moving from a military dictatorship
:09:22. > :09:23.to a near democracy. Today there was another big
:09:24. > :09:25.step in that process, with the nomination
:09:26. > :09:27.of candidates for president. The person widely expected to get
:09:28. > :09:32.the job is this man Htin Kyaw. SWIPE He's a close associate
:09:33. > :09:35.of the pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi, who is not
:09:36. > :09:42.allowed to run herself. She says she'll be above whoever
:09:43. > :09:45.is chosen, and is expected We should say though
:09:46. > :09:51.that the military is still in charge of important parts of government
:09:52. > :09:54.like defence, and a quarter of seats in parliament are
:09:55. > :09:56.reserved for soldiers. Jonah Fisher is at parliament
:09:57. > :10:13.in Myanmar's capital. This session is over for the day.
:10:14. > :10:18.The MPs are streaming out. What has happened today is that nominations
:10:19. > :10:21.have been put forward to be vice president of this country. It
:10:22. > :10:28.happened in this chamber just been here. The MPs are all from Aung San
:10:29. > :10:31.Suu Kyi's party. They won't let us in, but this is where the
:10:32. > :10:37.discussions took place. What effectively we found out today was
:10:38. > :10:42.that as expected, it is not going to be Aung San Suu Kyi as this
:10:43. > :10:45.country's next president. Her party has nominated to candidates for Vice
:10:46. > :10:53.President and one of those will be the president. Effectively, it means
:10:54. > :10:59.that Htin Kyaw, who is a close aide of hers, he has been close to her
:11:00. > :11:05.for a long period of time, but the senior member of her party, he has
:11:06. > :11:13.been chosen because the other candidate, a member from a different
:11:14. > :11:18.state is regarded as not being suitable. It is likely that Htin
:11:19. > :11:23.Kyaw will be this country's next president. Effectively, his role
:11:24. > :11:27.will be to do what he is told. Aung San Suu Kyi has made it clear that
:11:28. > :11:28.she may have been blocked from the presidency, but she will still be in
:11:29. > :11:42.charge. Correspondent for BBC Ben Mee 's
:11:43. > :11:49.told me more about Htin Kyaw. He is a close aide of Aung San Suu Kyi. He
:11:50. > :11:54.is a Western educated person and very able. He is completely
:11:55. > :11:59.bilingual as well. But is he likely to be happy about taking orders, to
:12:00. > :12:02.put it bluntly, from Aung San Suu Kyi? I am not sure he will be taking
:12:03. > :12:08.orders from her. Will they just think alike? They will be thinking
:12:09. > :12:12.alike, and also he has been working with Aung San Suu Kyi the many years
:12:13. > :12:19.and he has been advising her on many issues. So I think she will respect
:12:20. > :12:25.his views and opinions as well. It is kind of a partnership rather than
:12:26. > :12:30.taking orders from Aung San Suu Kyi. More of a joint presidency in
:12:31. > :12:36.practice, do you think? Join presidency? That is something... If
:12:37. > :12:41.not in title? It could be, but one of the things is that people have
:12:42. > :12:45.given a mandate to Aung San Suu Kyi. They regard her as their leader, so
:12:46. > :12:50.whatever she does, whether she is above the president or is a chairman
:12:51. > :12:56.of her party, whether she leaves the country, they only want to do that.
:12:57. > :13:02.That is something that everybody is very much happy about, that she is
:13:03. > :13:06.there and she is there to lead the country. She may not be the
:13:07. > :13:11.president. Understood. I want to get more from you in a moment, but first
:13:12. > :13:14.we heard from Jonah Fisher. He has spoken to one of the military
:13:15. > :13:21.representative theirs. That is have a listen. Are you pleased that you
:13:22. > :13:24.managed to block Aung San Suu Kyi from becoming president despite the
:13:25. > :13:34.people overwhelmingly voting for her? I have no answer about it. Why
:13:35. > :13:37.not? The people voted for her in the election another army has stopped
:13:38. > :13:47.becoming president. You pleased with yourself?
:13:48. > :13:55.We stand on our party's side. You think this is best for the country,
:13:56. > :13:59.that someone else is president that Aung San Suu Kyi gives instructions
:14:00. > :14:05.to? I do not want to answer this question. Thank you. I am not sure
:14:06. > :14:10.if that was a happy interviewee, but the point is there, isn't it? The
:14:11. > :14:15.military still has a lot of power and are very invested in the state.
:14:16. > :14:20.The military definitely has a lot of power and one of the things is that
:14:21. > :14:23.it was a surprise to them that they lost the elections, said they are
:14:24. > :14:28.quite unprepared and now they have to deal with this issue of Aung San
:14:29. > :14:32.Suu Kyi as the leader of the next government. She may not be the
:14:33. > :14:35.president, but the military, the constitution itself has ensured
:14:36. > :14:40.their position and power in the country, so now a lot of people were
:14:41. > :14:46.speaking about Aung San Suu Kyi talking to the military to try and
:14:47. > :14:51.find a way to give her, to allow her to become president. I think it is
:14:52. > :14:55.still very early to decide. This is not going to happen. It will take
:14:56. > :14:59.time and the military needs to save their face as well. They lost the
:15:00. > :15:06.election and it is a big blow for them. Thank you very much. In fact,
:15:07. > :15:11.just a final thought, is it going to be a matter of years that the
:15:12. > :15:15.military will have a quarter of the seats in parliament. Things have
:15:16. > :15:19.moved quite fast, but they may have that state for quite awhile? This
:15:20. > :15:24.question has been asked over and over to the military and this is
:15:25. > :15:27.what answer. If they feel that the country is secure, the security of
:15:28. > :15:35.the country, if they have confidence about it, then they will gradually
:15:36. > :15:40.remove their unelected parliamentary seats from the parliament. They will
:15:41. > :15:44.gradually go back to the barracks if they are very confident that the
:15:45. > :15:50.country is in the safe hands of the civilian government.
:15:51. > :15:56.This week we are marking 25 years of BBC World News Today we will be
:15:57. > :16:04.looking at what could be one of the big technologies of the next 25
:16:05. > :16:09.years, Virtual reality. Here in the UK, a report into the
:16:10. > :16:12.causes of a plane crash at sure that left 11 people dead has said proper
:16:13. > :16:20.risk assessment has not been done before. This was the fiancee of one
:16:21. > :16:22.victim who lost his life in the accident, she said stricter safety
:16:23. > :16:30.measures could have saved him and the ten other victims. When this
:16:31. > :16:35.plane did this manoeuvre and it went had ethically wrong, the plane came
:16:36. > :16:40.out of the airfield, so whether you are in that field or out of it you
:16:41. > :16:45.don't have any hope. Mark just happens to be one of the unlucky
:16:46. > :16:50.ones with the other ten who happened to be in the wrong place at the
:16:51. > :16:53.wrong time. If there were safety measures put in place where there
:16:54. > :16:59.was a strict the area where manoeuvres and planes had to stay in
:17:00. > :17:00.and you couldn't go out, then this accident probably wouldn't have
:17:01. > :17:18.happened. This is outside source life from the
:17:19. > :17:21.BBC newsroom. Our lead story, the Canadian Prime Minister met
:17:22. > :17:25.President Obama at the White House. It is the first official state visit
:17:26. > :17:29.by a Canadian leader in almost 20 years and they have agreed joint
:17:30. > :17:36.steps to fight climate change. Let's see what some of our language
:17:37. > :17:38.services are looking at. Angela Merkel has criticised Balkan
:17:39. > :17:43.countries for closing the Borders to migrants trying to reach northern
:17:44. > :17:49.Europe. She said EU countries could not simply leave the problem to
:17:50. > :17:52.Greece. A woman has flown on an Air France flight from Turkey to France
:17:53. > :17:58.with a four-year-old child in her hand luggage. Passengers noticed the
:17:59. > :18:01.bag was moving at the woman's feet and it is thought the woman was
:18:02. > :18:08.trying to adopt the child but she didn't have the correct papers.
:18:09. > :18:15.It has been a big day for the European economy. Stock markets have
:18:16. > :18:18.fallen and the euro has soared! This is because of economic stimulus
:18:19. > :18:26.measures announced by the European Central Bank. Here is a quick run
:18:27. > :18:29.down to tell you what they are. The late for the deposit facility,
:18:30. > :18:33.overnight money left by commercial banks in the central bank, was
:18:34. > :18:44.already negative but that goes further below 02 -0.4%. The rate of
:18:45. > :18:52.commercial lending is now zero and the rate of overnight borrowing by
:18:53. > :18:55.the banks was also cut. The ECB is expanding its quantitative easing
:18:56. > :19:00.programme and buying financial assets from 60 billion euros up to
:19:01. > :19:06.80 billion. The assets are mainly government debt so far. The ECB is
:19:07. > :19:10.extending it to company debt. It is also giving extra incentives to
:19:11. > :19:15.banks to lend more to businesses and households by offering ultra cheap
:19:16. > :19:18.loans. That is what the European Central
:19:19. > :19:25.Bank has done but why has it done it and why does it matter? Here is an
:19:26. > :19:28.economics editor to explain. The big problem is that the Eurozone
:19:29. > :19:33.economies are looking sickly and this matters to us because 45% of
:19:34. > :19:39.everything that Britain exports goes to the European Union and the
:19:40. > :19:44.majority of that to the Eurozone economy, so how they perform matters
:19:45. > :19:49.to us. The worry is that whatever the governor of the European Central
:19:50. > :19:54.Bank does, uses all this ammunition to try to encourage the economies to
:19:55. > :19:57.grow, unless those economies and actually formed, they are still
:19:58. > :20:03.looking sickly and he is running out of ammunition. Recognise him? The
:20:04. > :20:08.rapper 50 cents is in court at the moment in front of the bankruptcy
:20:09. > :20:15.judge. He filed for bankruptcy last summer but then posted this on ends
:20:16. > :20:19.Pegram. This has his money spilling out the word broke. He told the
:20:20. > :20:34.judge today it was fake money. He posted this on ends Pegram. --
:20:35. > :20:37.Instagram. He said he was in court and they asked him about money and
:20:38. > :20:46.he had none. Tell us more about this case? Lets not forget the wad of
:20:47. > :20:51.cash he had in his waistline. 50 Cent was called to court essentially
:20:52. > :20:56.to satisfy creditors that he wasn't hiding any assets given he had filed
:20:57. > :21:00.for bankruptcy, and all of these postings on social media next to
:21:01. > :21:06.piles of cash as you saw raised questions about whether or not that
:21:07. > :21:11.was real money, so his lawyer turned up in this bankruptcy court and said
:21:12. > :21:15.that actually the money was fake, he uses it as many people do for
:21:16. > :21:20.branding and marketing purposes, but this raises another question that is
:21:21. > :21:24.since it is the job security forces in America to make sure their lives
:21:25. > :21:27.and counterfeiting of US money, some people are now wondering whether or
:21:28. > :21:35.not he will face charges because of that! Now, the working Time
:21:36. > :21:40.directive is a phrase that might sound boring, and it is boring! But
:21:41. > :21:44.it is the European Union legislation that governs how much you work and
:21:45. > :21:46.how much holiday you take, and it is one of the many ways the EU faces
:21:47. > :21:58.everyday life. What does a clock tell us about the
:21:59. > :22:03.European Union? Have you ever heard of Greenwich mean Time? Britain has
:22:04. > :22:09.been telling the world how to set its watchers since 1884. But no time
:22:10. > :22:21.has taken on a distinctly European feel. Thanks to the working Time
:22:22. > :22:27.directive. Eurosceptics hate it. It says that on average you cannot
:22:28. > :22:32.walk more than 48 hours a week, but you get 11 hours rest every single
:22:33. > :22:37.day, and you can take 28 days of holiday every year. Before the
:22:38. > :22:40.working Time directive came in in 1998, there was no law in Britain
:22:41. > :22:48.that made your employer give you any time off at all. Here is a lorry and
:22:49. > :22:53.its driver and here is the simplified version of the rules that
:22:54. > :22:58.Paul has to follow. One of the big complaints about the working Time
:22:59. > :23:02.directive is how complex it all is. EU clock watching doesn't apply to
:23:03. > :23:09.all jobs and most can opt out of the maximum 48-hour work week. At first
:23:10. > :23:14.that was just in the UK but now 15 other countries have also used that
:23:15. > :23:22.opt out. Why? Because many people feel that the working time directive
:23:23. > :23:27.isn't working. It is a great example of how the EU itself can feel to
:23:28. > :23:32.work efficiently. Brussels wants to rewrite the working time directive
:23:33. > :23:36.and the EU's 28 member states want to the United as well. The European
:23:37. > :23:45.Parliament wants to be liked it but cannot agree how to do it, so for
:23:46. > :23:52.now we are stuck with it. Here is a story very close to my
:23:53. > :23:56.heart. Friday marks 25 years since this channel, BBC world News,
:23:57. > :24:00.started broadcasting. I have been worth it for something like 21 years
:24:01. > :24:08.and a very sweet viewer treated me and said you look just the same! It
:24:09. > :24:11.was extremely kind of you and I have been all around the world with this
:24:12. > :24:12.channel and I want to give you a taste of what it looked like 25
:24:13. > :24:38.years ago. Good even in, this is BBC World
:24:39. > :24:42.Service news. It's fair to say in the time that BBC News has been only
:24:43. > :24:44.are there has been an off a lot of change in the business of
:24:45. > :24:51.broadcasting. We have this magnificent outside source
:24:52. > :24:54.touch-screen that I sometimes feel to operate properly but technology
:24:55. > :25:03.moves on and the earthly lot that is exciting about what do now. Early I
