Hello, I'm Nuala McGovern, this is Outside Source. | :00:07. | :00:12. | |
We'll start with a special report on the migrants trying to get | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
to Europe through the Sahara desert. | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
You know when you want to achieve something, you have to race. That is | :00:20. | :00:26. | |
why prefer to go to Europe. A hugely significant day | :00:27. | :00:28. | |
for Myanmar, where the first civilian president in more than 50 | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
years has been sworn in. This is the closest ancient relative | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
to a spider ever discovered - We'll hear more from our | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
science correspondent. And why an Australian university | :00:37. | :00:43. | |
is encouraging its students to say More than 13,000 people have made | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
the dangerous journey from North Africa to Italy | :00:47. | :01:07. | |
across the Mediterranean this year. And as we move into summer the flow | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
of migrants crossing the Mediterranean is once again | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
increasing with warmer weather On Tuesday alone, Italian coast | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
guards and navy vessels rescued nearly 1,400 people in boats | :01:19. | :01:25. | |
and rubber dinghies from Libya. Many will have undertaken a perilous | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
journey across the Sahara. The jumping-off point | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
for the desert trek is Agadez, in Niger from where Thomas | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
Fessy sent this report. This is worth the long road through | :01:41. | :01:57. | |
the Sahara begins, in the Desert of Niger, several days drive from the | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
border. They have come from all over western and central Africa with one | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
goal, a better life in Europe. And so off they go tonight, adrift in an | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
ocean of sand, clinging to their dreams. Some of them may not survive | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
the extreme heat when the sun comes up, others may be left behind by | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
their smugglers. But there will be no rescue mission. | :02:23. | :02:30. | |
A rest stop on this perilous journey. Most of the migrants here | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
have left countries with few jobs and limited prospect will stop this | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
is their alternative. Young men, but also teenage girls and children. | :02:42. | :02:49. | |
Some, like Samuel, have fled war. No problem, I have to take the risk. | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
You know, when you want to achieve something, you have to race. That is | :02:55. | :03:02. | |
why I prefer to go to Europe. To risk your life? It is God who has | :03:03. | :03:12. | |
the last word. Migration is big business in the | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
Sahara, there will be officials and soldiers to drive, there will be | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
militia to pay. For the smugglers, nothing is more lucrative. | :03:22. | :03:29. | |
TRANSLATION: We charge different prices depending on where they come | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
from, but on average the ride costs them more than $200. | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
We have only been here for couple of hours and have seen dozens of these | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
pick-up trucks, hundreds of migrants. There will be hundreds | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
more tonight. Borders have been tightened in Europe, but how do you | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
stop this? Just a few miles down the road, more migrants are preparing to | :03:55. | :04:01. | |
set off. The ancient trading post of Agadez, home to smugglers and | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
traffickers for centuries, a transit hub where migrants streaming of a | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
new life cross past with those returning to their old lives. These | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
migrants have turned around, defeated and destitute. They were | :04:14. | :04:20. | |
starved or beaten during their journey, all are going home. They | :04:21. | :04:28. | |
have failed. 2080 macro James from Liberia wanted | :04:29. | :04:35. | |
to study computing in Italy. -- 28-year-old James. He took great | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
risks to reach the Libyan coast, but the state of the boats used across | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
the Mediterranean him. Very much afraid to get on the boat, because | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
people tell you the boat is good, you go there you will be on board | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
within three hours. They are all liars. The chance to succeed is 20%, | :04:55. | :05:01. | |
the chance to be killed is 80%. And the chance to terrorise, 100%. | :05:02. | :05:10. | |
Before each migrants backtracking towards their home country, another | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
pick-up truck loaded with dozens more is speeding through the desert. | :05:15. | :05:15. | |
And the exodus continues. Meanwhile the UN Secretary-General | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
is urging wealthy countries to open their doors to more Syrian | :05:21. | :05:22. | |
refugees, saying they should be The United Nations is aiming | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
to resettle 480,000 refugees in richer countries - | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
that's about 10% of those currently Ban Ki Moon said accepting refugees | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
can be good for everyone. Six years into conflict, Syrians are | :05:33. | :05:52. | |
losing hope of supporting their families or educating their | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
children. Many people value that hope more than their own lives. As | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
we have seen on the shores of Turkey and southern Europe. Communities | :06:03. | :06:12. | |
hosting refugees in neighbouring countries... Health, education, | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
sanitation and public utilities are overstretched and under resourced. | :06:18. | :06:19. | |
Myanmar's new president has been sworn in - | :06:20. | :06:21. | |
the first elected civilian leader in more than 50 years. | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
Htin Kyaw from the National League for Democracy of NLD said | :06:25. | :06:26. | |
he would be "faithful" to the people of Myanmar. | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
The leader of the NLD, Aung San Suu Kyi, is barred | :06:33. | :06:34. | |
She's already been given several ministerial positions, | :06:35. | :06:45. | |
including foreign affairs, education, and energy. | :06:46. | :06:47. | |
And in the last few hours, the BBC has learned a draft Bill | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
is expected to be submitted to the government that would create | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
the position of adviser to the State, with a mandate similar | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
to a Prime Minister, for Aung San Suu Kyi. | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
Those waiting for change in Myanmar have had to be patient. | :07:04. | :07:11. | |
Five months after a historic election, and after decades | :07:12. | :07:13. | |
of military rule, this was the day that the Burmese army | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
For Aung San Suu Kyi, this is the culmination of a long | :07:17. | :07:24. | |
journey from house arrests and detention, and now she walks | :07:25. | :07:26. | |
She's about to be the leader of Myanmar's first civilian | :07:27. | :07:37. | |
The Constitution bars her from taking that job | :07:38. | :07:45. | |
because her sons are British, not Burmese. | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
So she chose a close friend, Htin Kyaw, and watched | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
on as he was sworn in as the country's first elected | :07:52. | :07:53. | |
civilian president in more than 50 years. | :07:54. | :08:03. | |
A short while later, it was the turn of the ministers, | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
She'll control the energy, education and foreign affairs | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
portfolios as well as having a seat in the President's office. | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
Much now rests on whether she can work with an army that still wields | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
We are very happy, this is an auspicious day, | :08:21. | :08:28. | |
Someone who's been chosen by the people has been sworn in, | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
The end of 50 years of military rule. | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
It's going to be a challenging time ahead but it is remarkable we've got | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
Most people two or three years ago would not have imagined we'd | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
At the outgoing president's house, there was a ceremonial handover. | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
Myanmar is not yet a democracy, and faces many serious challenges. | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
But when Thein Sein first took office five years ago, | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
the events of today would have been almost unthinkable. | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
Jonah Fisher, BBC News, in Nay Pyi Taw, Myanmar. | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
Egypt has asked Cyprus to extradite the man accused of hijacking | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
EgyptAir flight MS181 was carrying 56 passengers from Alexandria | :09:14. | :09:20. | |
to Cairo when it was forced to divert to Larnaca in Cyprus | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
by a man who was wearing what turned out to be a fake suicide belt. | :09:26. | :09:32. | |
That man is Seif al-Din Mustafa and he's made his | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
Just a glimpse of the man accused of this bizarre hijacking before | :09:36. | :09:45. | |
The hearing was brief and he didn't speak but as he was driven away, | :09:46. | :09:52. | |
The suspect presented today before the court and he will stay | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
Today we learned a bit more about the personal motivations | :09:58. | :10:08. | |
of Seif al-Din Mustafa as he caused a domestic Egyptian flight to be | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
He says he was desperate to see his estranged Cypriot wife | :10:12. | :10:20. | |
Emotions ran high at Cairo airport as passengers and crew of Flight | :10:21. | :10:27. | |
MS181 were reunited with their friends and family. | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
Others didn't feel threatened by the hijacker. | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
And he told only nothing will happen, so... | :10:38. | :10:44. | |
The suicide belt was found to be fake but that wasn't clear when this | :10:45. | :10:54. | |
On the right is Ben Innis from Leeds who is now famous, | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
This guy was so cool, he's a British guy. | :10:59. | :11:05. | |
He asked him to take a picture and he took the picture. | :11:06. | :11:07. | |
There are enquiries into how the alleged hijacker got | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
through airport checks, apparently with fake explosives | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
Controls at Egypt's airports were heavily criticised after last | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
year's deadly bombing of a Russian plane, but Egyptian officials say | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
they handled the latest incident correctly. | :11:21. | :11:33. | |
Yesterday's hijacking ended dramatically, ultimately, | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
with no one harmed but it has left concerns about | :11:37. | :11:38. | |
In a few minutes, Kenyan rangers have killed a lion on the outskirts | :11:39. | :11:46. | |
of Nairobi after it escaped from a National Park - | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
we'll take a look at why Nairobi's big cats are getting too | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
Yesterday we brought you the news that India's Tata Steel has | :11:53. | :12:10. | |
announced it would put its entire UK business up for sale - | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
putting the jobs of thousands of workers at risk. | :12:14. | :12:15. | |
The Business Minister Sajid Javid cut short his trip to Australia, | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
while the Labour Party called on the Government to reconsider | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
renationalisation. The Government will do everything it can, first of | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
all, to keep steel-making in Port Talbot and, second ball, where | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
workers are affected, to make sure the impact is minimal and we do | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
everything we can to help them and their families. If we want to | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
maintain a viable manufacturing economy in Britain we have to have a | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
steel industry. The steel industry is under threat because of a | :12:46. | :12:47. | |
decision made by one multinational corporation many thousands of miles | :12:48. | :12:54. | |
away. The Business Secretary's job is to ensure Port Talbot and the | :12:55. | :12:55. | |
other steelworks are supported. This is Outside Source live | :12:56. | :13:05. | |
from the BBC newsroom. More than 13,000 people have made | :13:06. | :13:07. | |
the dangerous journey from North Africa to Italy | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
across the Mediterranean this year. Many of them have made | :13:11. | :13:12. | |
this dangerous journey Now some of the other stories the | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
language services are covering. The Prime Minister of Libya's new, | :13:16. | :13:28. | |
UN-backed government has arrived in the country and declared | :13:29. | :13:30. | |
that he intends to unite its people Fayez Seraj sailed into a naval | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
base in the capital, The authorities currently | :13:34. | :13:44. | |
controlling the city have demanded he leave. | :13:45. | :13:45. | |
A state of emergency has been declared at seven prisons | :13:46. | :13:48. | |
in El Salvador, as part of what the government calls | :13:49. | :13:50. | |
extraordinary measures to tackle gang violence. | :13:51. | :13:51. | |
US Republican frontrunner Donald Trump has dropped his pledge | :13:52. | :13:57. | |
to support the party candidate if he does not win the nomination | :13:58. | :14:00. | |
The BBC News App has more on that story. | :14:01. | :14:16. | |
Yesterday we brought you the news that India's Tata Steel has | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
announced it would put its entire UK business up for sale - | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
putting the jobs of thousands of workers at risk. | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
Their biggest plant - Port Talbot in Wales - | :14:28. | :14:29. | |
is estimated to be losing $1.4 million a day. | :14:30. | :14:32. | |
A senior Tata executive has told the BBC that after nine years | :14:33. | :14:35. | |
it was very difficult to continue supporting the plant. | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
He also explained to the BBC what would happen if Tata failed | :14:40. | :14:42. | |
From our perspective, it is not a valuation exercise, it is an | :14:43. | :14:58. | |
exposure exercise. The view that the board to, finally, was we can | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
sustain this kind of an exposure going forward. It is not of the bid | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
being low or high, it is somebody wanting to buy the business, sustain | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
it and move on. From our perspective, we would then be able | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
to reduce the financial exposure, which has become quite a burden for | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
the company. Let's move onto another story. | :15:24. | :15:24. | |
The world's largest plane manufacturer Boeing plans to cut | :15:25. | :15:26. | |
more than 4,500 jobs by the middle of the year to reduce costs. | :15:27. | :15:32. | |
Let's turn to Michelle Fleury in New York, who is standing by. Good to | :15:33. | :15:39. | |
have you back with us. Talking a lot about job losses, tell us the | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
details on this? From what we understand, lots of the job cuts | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
will come from the test and evaluation section of the company, | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
despite the fact that Boeing has reported record orders for it jets. | :15:55. | :16:01. | |
The problem is that the group has recently been losing market share to | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
its archrival, Abbas, and as a result it is trying to find ways to | :16:07. | :16:12. | |
reduce costs. And the executive, or a spokesperson for Boeing, has said | :16:13. | :16:16. | |
they don't have unemployment reduction targets. They don't have | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
the final headcount reduction figure in mind, they know that they are | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
essentially trying to cut costs. They are based in Seattle in the | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
north-west of the United States, which most of the jobs be in that | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
area or are they all the way across the states? In Seattle, that is | :16:35. | :16:40. | |
where reports of this first emerged in the local paper, with the | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
expectation that there will be a huge impact there. But it is a | :16:46. | :16:51. | |
global company and, increasingly, parts of the plane is made in | :16:52. | :16:54. | |
different parts of the country and the world, so there will be | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
questions going forward. Certainly, as it continues to try to grapple | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
with how to deal with, in part, customers wanting to spend less on | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
the kind of jet they order, it will be keeping an eye on the bottom | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
line, which will have a knock-on effect on employees. Thank you, | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
Michelle, similarities between Boeing and Tata as we look at those | :17:18. | :17:19. | |
stories. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi | :17:20. | :17:20. | |
is in Brussels to attend Many hope he'll be able | :17:21. | :17:22. | |
to relaunch stalled talks It's thought the looming referendum | :17:23. | :17:25. | |
on the UK's EU membership From Delhi, Shilpa Kannan | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
reports on what a Brexit Brexit is what they call Britain | :17:31. | :17:51. | |
exiting the EU. Finishing off garments headed for | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
the UK high street. The textiles industry is India's second-biggest | :17:57. | :18:02. | |
employer. This firm alone employs nearly 100,000 people, and about a | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
third of its business is with Britain. It's possible reason that | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
if UK exits the European Union, the company could suffer -- it's loss | :18:11. | :18:17. | |
worries that if the UK experts. Everybody I talked to is anxious and | :18:18. | :18:25. | |
concerned. We have seen UK like a rock, you know? If the rock starts | :18:26. | :18:33. | |
to move, where do you go? He is not alone. One of India's largest | :18:34. | :18:39. | |
industrial bodies has already said that Brexit, or Britain's exit from | :18:40. | :18:43. | |
the EU, could injure the flow of investment in people by diminishing | :18:44. | :18:49. | |
Britain's role in providing access to Europe. Prime Minister Narendra | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
Modi has said that written as a gateway and entry point to the EU | :18:53. | :18:58. | |
for many Indian companies. The UK attracts more Indian investment than | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
the rest of the EU put together. Would Brexit make a difference? | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
India/ UK trade of the last few decades has stood apart from the | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
European Union and largely occurred on the trade investment side, on a | :19:13. | :19:18. | |
bilateral level, so to a certain extent you could argue that it would | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
not have a significant impact either way covers the impact is already | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
there. Whatever happens in late June, India, with its young | :19:27. | :19:32. | |
population and rising spending power, is a country that both the UK | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
and the EU will remain keen to do business with. | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
In May, G7 ministers will travel to the MAP Mie prefecture in Japan - | :19:41. | :19:43. | |
Attracting visitors is key to the area's growth. | :19:44. | :19:50. | |
Mariko Oi has taken a look at the role of tourism in jump | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
Looking for delicacies that mother nature offers, they are the women of | :19:55. | :20:10. | |
the sea who have been doing this for thousands of years. But their number | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
is shrinking, along with demand for their catch. 64-year-old -- this | :20:16. | :20:24. | |
64-year-old has been diving for nearly half a century, she runs a | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
traditional inn where she serves her catch. You used to be able to make a | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
living just doing this job, she tells me. Now she ripped -- relies | :20:33. | :20:40. | |
on more visitors staying at her in. So some divers are turning | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
themselves into a tourist attraction in anticipation of more overseas | :20:45. | :20:53. | |
visitors. Mie has long been a popular to risk destinations for | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
Japanese visitors. This shrine is the most important in Japan's | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
National religion, Shinto. Now the government wants to put it on the | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
international map. In two months this region will play host to | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
leaders from the major economies of the world, and a header bit it is | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
already seeing a sharp rise in foreign visitors. -- and ahead of it | :21:17. | :21:22. | |
hit is already seeing. That is expected to give a huge boost to the | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
economy. Another dying profession that | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
originates in Mie is Ninja, which has always fascinated international | :21:33. | :21:40. | |

visitors can benefit the shoe -- and unless foreign visitors can benefit | :21:53. | :21:54. | |
the whole community, the female divers will also be an endangered | :21:55. | :21:57. | |
profession. The most expensive pair of trainers | :21:58. | :21:58. | |
have been been unveiled in New York. | :21:59. | :22:01. | |
Designed by luxury brand Bicion and Mache Customs they've have gone | :22:02. | :22:03. | |
on sale to raise money for charity The shoes features several hundred | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
carats of tailor made white diamond pieces and blue | :22:07. | :22:15. | |
sapphires set in gold. They even come with | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
a solid gold price tag. I don't know whether you would | :22:21. | :22:22. | |
actually wear them to the gym! A lion has been shot dead by rangers | :22:23. | :22:36. | |
on the outskirts of Kenya's capital Nairobi, after it strayed out | :22:37. | :22:39. | |
of the nearby national park. The rangers say they shot the lion | :22:40. | :22:42. | |
after it attacked and injured a man This is the third time in less | :22:43. | :22:45. | |
than two months a lion has been spotted within a residential area | :22:46. | :22:53. | |
in or around Nairobi. The BBC's Anne Soy has been taking | :22:54. | :22:57. | |
a look at why lions are getting too close for comfort in | :22:58. | :23:00. | |
the Kenyan capital. Basking in the early morning | :23:01. | :23:19. | |
sunshine, this lion. Further ahead as his brother, part of the bachelor | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
pride of the Nairobi National Park. Two weeks ago, he made headlines in | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
Kenny when he injured a pedestrian along the main road leading to the | :23:30. | :23:34. | |
airport. 63-year-old Michael was walking to work and wondering why | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
everyone around him was running. Then he came face-to-face with the | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
lion. He put his claws on my shoulder, like this. It opened the | :23:43. | :23:53. | |
mouth. Trying to bring his mouth to my face. I was very much worried. I | :23:54. | :24:00. | |
closed my eyes. He says he lay on the ground waiting to die, suddenly | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
the powerful Paul was lifted from his shoulder and the lion went away. | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
They Kenyan wildlife service said the lion had lost his way in the | :24:10. | :24:12. | |
city after a night out with his brothers. They had sneaked out of | :24:13. | :24:17. | |
the park through an opening in the fence. They mauled 78 sheep and | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
goats to death overnight before their owners chase them away. Humans | :24:23. | :24:28. | |
are not understanding, they are hooting, shouting, he was really, | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
really confused. He has not found his way back. Then he finds this man | :24:34. | :24:39. | |
on the way. This was not an attack on the person, it was kind of like a | :24:40. | :24:46. | |
show of, get out of here, I need to go. He says incidents of alliance | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
leaving the park are common, especially when their population | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
reaches capacity. In the distance I can see the skyline of Nairobi city. | :24:55. | :25:00. | |
This park is the only one within a capital city in the world, so | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
instances of human wildlife conflict are common. To a large extent, it is | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
the humans who have encroached into wildlife territory. Just over 100 | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
years ago, this land was just Savannah. The one understands this | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
conflict better than the herders who live next to the park, like | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
Richard's family. There is no fence between their farmer and his part of | :25:25. | :25:31. | |
the park. He says that lions would visit them at least three times a | :25:32. | :25:40. | |
week. I tell myself, if I could make something that tells the Lions I was | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
there, they would not come. Of the solar pods light up around the cow | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
sheds. It means that herders no longer had to kill lions in | :25:52. | :25:54. | |
retaliation for eating the livestock. They have found a | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
solution, but the city residents, not so much. | :26:00. | :26:04. |
