:00:20. > :00:26.You know when you want to achieve something, you have to race. That is

:00:29. > :00:30.for Myanmar, where the first civilian president in more than 50

:00:47. > :01:07.the dangerous journey from North Africa to Italy
:01:08. > :01:11.across the Mediterranean this year. And as we move into summer the flow

:01:19. > :01:25.guards and navy vessels rescued nearly 1,400 people in boats
:01:26. > :01:31.and rubber dinghies from Libya. Many will have undertaken a perilous

:01:38. > :01:40.for the desert trek is Agadez, in Niger from where Thomas
:01:41. > :01:57.Fessy sent this report. This is worth the long road through
:01:58. > :02:02.the Sahara begins, in the Desert of Niger, several days drive from the
:02:03. > :02:07.border. They have come from all over western and central Africa with one
:02:08. > :02:12.goal, a better life in Europe. And so off they go tonight, adrift in an
:02:13. > :02:18.ocean of sand, clinging to their dreams. Some of them may not survive
:02:19. > :02:22.the extreme heat when the sun comes up, others may be left behind by

:02:31. > :02:35.A rest stop on this perilous journey. Most of the migrants here

:03:03. > :03:12.why I prefer to go to Europe. To risk your life? It is God who has
:03:13. > :03:16.the last word. Migration is big business in the
:03:17. > :03:21.Sahara, there will be officials and soldiers to drive, there will be
:03:22. > :03:29.militia to pay. For the smugglers, nothing is more lucrative.
:03:30. > :03:33.TRANSLATION: We charge different prices depending on where they come
:03:34. > :03:39.from, but on average the ride costs them more than $200.
:03:40. > :03:44.We have only been here for couple of hours and have seen dozens of these
:03:45. > :03:49.pick-up trucks, hundreds of migrants. There will be hundreds
:03:50. > :03:54.more tonight. Borders have been tightened in Europe, but how do you
:03:55. > :04:01.stop this? Just a few miles down the road, more migrants are preparing to

:04:06. > :04:10.traffickers for centuries, a transit hub where migrants streaming of a

:04:14. > :04:20.migrants have turned around, defeated and destitute. They were

:14:40. > :14:42.He also explained to the BBC what would happen if Tata failed
:14:43. > :14:58.From our perspective, it is not a valuation exercise, it is an
:14:59. > :15:03.exposure exercise. The view that the board to, finally, was we can
:15:04. > :15:09.sustain this kind of an exposure going forward. It is not of the bid
:15:10. > :15:15.being low or high, it is somebody wanting to buy the business, sustain
:15:16. > :15:19.it and move on. From our perspective, we would then be able
:15:20. > :15:23.to reduce the financial exposure, which has become quite a burden for
:15:24. > :15:24.the company. Let's move onto another story.
:15:25. > :15:26.The world's largest plane manufacturer Boeing plans to cut
:15:27. > :15:32.more than 4,500 jobs by the middle of the year to reduce costs.
:15:33. > :15:39.Let's turn to Michelle Fleury in New York, who is standing by. Good to
:15:40. > :15:45.have you back with us. Talking a lot about job losses, tell us the
:15:46. > :15:50.details on this? From what we understand, lots of the job cuts
:15:51. > :15:54.will come from the test and evaluation section of the company,
:15:55. > :16:01.despite the fact that Boeing has reported record orders for it jets.
:16:02. > :16:06.The problem is that the group has recently been losing market share to
:16:07. > :16:12.its archrival, Abbas, and as a result it is trying to find ways to
:16:13. > :16:16.reduce costs. And the executive, or a spokesperson for Boeing, has said
:16:17. > :16:21.they don't have unemployment reduction targets. They don't have
:16:22. > :16:27.the final headcount reduction figure in mind, they know that they are
:16:28. > :16:30.essentially trying to cut costs. They are based in Seattle in the
:16:31. > :16:34.north-west of the United States, which most of the jobs be in that
:16:35. > :16:40.area or are they all the way across the states? In Seattle, that is
:16:41. > :16:45.where reports of this first emerged in the local paper, with the
:16:46. > :16:51.expectation that there will be a huge impact there. But it is a
:16:52. > :16:54.global company and, increasingly, parts of the plane is made in
:16:55. > :16:59.different parts of the country and the world, so there will be
:17:00. > :17:04.questions going forward. Certainly, as it continues to try to grapple
:17:05. > :17:08.with how to deal with, in part, customers wanting to spend less on
:17:09. > :17:12.the kind of jet they order, it will be keeping an eye on the bottom
:17:13. > :17:17.line, which will have a knock-on effect on employees. Thank you,
