:00:11. > :00:24.The Prime Minister has been responding to a week of

:00:25. > :00:27.pleasure to see he is going to make it harder for people to salt away

:00:28. > :00:39.money overseas in offshore tax havens.

:00:40. > :00:52.Brazil is getting closer to impeaching its president.

:00:53. > :01:00.We also focus on the border between Macedonia and Greece. And our new

:01:01. > :01:19.golf champion has been talking to the BBC.

:01:20. > :01:26.As we have been discussing, the Prime Minister has led a move for

:01:27. > :01:31.himself, the Chancellor and their counterparts in the opposition to

:01:32. > :01:35.release the tax details. It raises the question as to who else should

:01:36. > :01:40.reveal all and how it compares to other countries. The BBC's financial

:01:41. > :01:49.correspondent has been looking into these issues.

:01:50. > :01:51.Not far from Westminster, those who work and pay their taxes

:01:52. > :01:53.have strong views about whether MPs should tell

:01:54. > :01:57.Should all MPs should publish their tax returns?

:01:58. > :02:00.I think it would be more transparent and we

:02:01. > :02:02.would have less uncertainty in the country.

:02:03. > :02:04.There would not be any, is this person doing this or that?

:02:05. > :02:08.They should give more information than

:02:09. > :02:11.I think for transparency and gaining trust.

:02:12. > :02:12.It is not necessarily appropriate all the time.

:02:13. > :02:16.I think there is a right to privacy to some extent.

:02:17. > :02:18.Those in very high office, the Prime Minster,

:02:19. > :02:20.potentially the Cabinet if you want to go that far,

:02:21. > :02:23.In terms of all MPs and civil servants

:02:24. > :02:29.With some politicians choosing to publish their tax

:02:30. > :02:32.details, the PM thinks only those at the top of government,

:02:33. > :02:37.it is argued, should do so, but all MPs face pressure.

:02:38. > :02:41.MPs will have to publish their tax returns in the next few years.

:02:42. > :02:43.I am not excited about this but it is the

:02:44. > :02:45.mood of the country and politicians need

:02:46. > :02:53.to restore trust in them and this may be helpful.

:02:54. > :03:03.In America, tax details are private but most presidents

:03:04. > :03:05.reveal their tax returns on a voluntary basis.

:03:06. > :03:07.In Norway, the public and all politicians have to

:03:08. > :03:10.disclose their tax details so everybody can look at the figures.

:03:11. > :03:12.No politician in France has to release

:03:13. > :03:18.The issue most people raise is about trust in

:03:19. > :03:21.Some MPs who say they will release their tax returns also

:03:22. > :03:25.say they are not sure what impact it will have and it is better to try

:03:26. > :03:29.At the moment, MPs have to register expenses and

:03:30. > :03:36.But not everything has to be included.

:03:37. > :03:40.So will public pressure mean new rules for MPs?

:03:41. > :03:43.We need to think about the impact it will have.

:03:44. > :03:45.Might it deter people who have in order

:03:46. > :03:49.aspect of their privacy they have to surrender?

:03:50. > :03:52.That is a reality which needs to come into the equation.

:03:53. > :03:59.have more transparency and have less.

:04:00. > :04:02.What started as a row about offshore tax has turned into one

:04:03. > :04:31.To force the place to start. The English golfer Danny Willett is the

:04:32. > :04:42.man of the moment. He is the first Englishman to win the Masters for 20

:04:43. > :04:45.years. If you are keeping an eye on Twitter last night and watching at

:04:46. > :04:50.the same thing, you will probably know that his brother was making

:04:51. > :05:06.quite a lot of tweets. Look at this one. It really was quite a

:05:07. > :05:19.performance. Champion, how does that feel? It is hard to believe. It is

:05:20. > :05:28.nice to be able to come back here and celebrate with them. Very

:05:29. > :05:33.special coming in here. It is a little bit more rockets on here than

:05:34. > :05:38.it was with all the members. It has been an incredible day. How much are

:05:39. > :05:53.you looking forward to getting back home? We will get back as soon as we

:05:54. > :05:59.can. Everything that comes in and around being a winner of a major

:06:00. > :06:10.tournament is all rolled up in one and we will see what life brings.

:06:11. > :06:16.What is the night going to be like in here? I have a sneaking feeling

:06:17. > :06:18.it may be a good one! You can see highlights of his victory on the BBC

:06:19. > :06:22.sport website. No secret it has major

:06:23. > :06:25.ambitions but now we have En route, it wants 50 million

:06:26. > :06:32.children and adults And more than 60,000 football

:06:33. > :06:36.grounds will be built or renovated The end game is, as you'd imagine,

:06:37. > :06:45.winning the World Cup. Celia Hatton has been our

:06:46. > :06:56.correspondent in Beijing, back here in the newsroom,

:06:57. > :07:10.still covering the country. The plan has been carried out the

:07:11. > :07:14.really carry out every plan. They want to be a football superpower by

:07:15. > :07:21.2050 and via various strategic about how to carry that out. They want to

:07:22. > :07:25.get 15 million children and adults playing the sport in the years to

:07:26. > :07:31.come so the building lots of football pictures so that can be

:07:32. > :07:37.done. They will be starting football academies and we hope that star

:07:38. > :07:45.players will lead to the eventual goal of 2050 of them winning the

:07:46. > :07:50.World Cup. The football is in a very bad state. The mainstream is very

:07:51. > :07:59.pure. The women's team has done a lot better. They were in the World

:08:00. > :08:04.Cup last year. It has been getting a lot of focus. Domestically, the leak

:08:05. > :08:08.has been beset with a lot of scandal, corruption and bribery

:08:09. > :08:15.scandals, but they are also throwing a lot of money at the problem. We

:08:16. > :08:20.have spent $360 million bringing foreign players over. They are

:08:21. > :08:26.trying to boost the excitement in the league. We can talk about

:08:27. > :08:31.football in Turkey. Police had to use tear gas and water cannons to

:08:32. > :08:41.stop fans ahead of the match in Istanbul. They were entering their

:08:42. > :08:48.first match any brand-new stadium. Let us try and understand more about

:08:49. > :08:54.what happened. This does not sound like it was their plan. Absolutely

:08:55. > :09:07.not. Supporters arrived in the top of the league team Besiktas were

:09:08. > :09:16.playing the first game at the new stadium. It has been under

:09:17. > :09:27.construction for three years. But police trucks fired water cannons

:09:28. > :09:34.and tear gas. The authorities had blocked all traffic and formed a

:09:35. > :09:41.security line. Turkey has been subject to take security in recent

:09:42. > :09:54.times after a series of bombings in Istanbul and in the capital. Thank

:09:55. > :10:03.you for joining us. You can download the BBC sports on your phone. Next,

:10:04. > :10:14.we are going to turn to a distressing story in Canada.

:10:15. > :10:17.Distressing story from Canada of one indigenous community in which 11

:10:18. > :10:19.people tried to take their own lives on Saturday night.

:10:20. > :10:21.A state of emergency has been declared.

:10:22. > :10:24.This is part of a broader problem - more than 100 people have tried

:10:25. > :10:27.to kill themselves in the last seven months in this one

:10:28. > :10:33.And this is Attawapiskat in Northern Ontario.

:10:34. > :10:47.It is about 1000 kilometres from the capital.

:10:48. > :10:49.The Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has called this

:10:50. > :10:51.heartbreaking, and has promised to continue to work

:10:52. > :10:53.to improve living conditions for all Indigenous peoples.

:10:54. > :10:57.This isn't the only ongoing State of Emergency.

:10:58. > :10:59.There were also dozens of suicide attempts in Manitoba's Pimi-chikamak

:11:00. > :11:15.The SC State of emergency via as well.

:11:16. > :11:22.This is one of the community's leaders.

:11:23. > :11:31.We did not have access to what other people do in the rest of the

:11:32. > :11:36.country, access to jobs, access to education and access to the needs

:11:37. > :11:42.things in life. The people feel left out. We do not empower young people

:11:43. > :11:49.enough and take the time to invest in them, investing resources and

:11:50. > :11:53.time in them. There are a number of statements online from key

:11:54. > :12:02.government officials. This was the Minister of health. The sea they

:12:03. > :12:09.will send medical emergency teams to assist the community. Interestingly,

:12:10. > :12:20.others CV have been asking for this help for a long time. I have been

:12:21. > :12:24.speaking to national chief from the head of aboriginal peoples in Ottawa

:12:25. > :12:30.and he has been explaining the scale of the problem facing the indigenous

:12:31. > :12:37.people. It is a crisis situation, not only in this community but for

:12:38. > :12:41.many others. These are clearly long-term problems which will

:12:42. > :12:49.require long-term solutions, but what immediate support is required?

:12:50. > :12:54.Immediately, some sort of crisis management being established in

:12:55. > :12:59.these areas queer there are strong indications of problems or even in

:13:00. > :13:06.those areas where there has been suicide attempts in the past. That

:13:07. > :13:15.requires people here who are available 24 hours a day. There are

:13:16. > :13:20.1.4 million indigenous Canadians. What are the main problems which

:13:21. > :13:27.affect them? What are the specific issues facing these communities?

:13:28. > :13:40.There are problems definitely which are global in nature. Recent reports

:13:41. > :13:45.from our statistics has been clarifying that for a number of

:13:46. > :13:54.years, high rates of infant mortality, heart attack rates in so

:13:55. > :14:05.many other statistics indicating that how seriously these issues are.

:14:06. > :14:11.Over 135 drinking water deaths. It has been a long-standing problem.

:14:12. > :14:17.Pretty much indicating that there has been a blind eye turned to this.

:14:18. > :14:21.They feel hopeless, the feel forgotten in the list are definite

:14:22. > :14:31.disconnect here. It is a crisis situation which needs the

:14:32. > :14:37.authorities to address the problem. We will be giving you regular

:14:38. > :14:38.updates on that in the next few days and weeks. Some good news for

:14:39. > :14:40.conservationists. For the first time in

:14:41. > :15:03.a century they are up. Good news for the steel industry in

:15:04. > :15:04.Great Britain. The Scunthorpe factory is going to be bought.

:15:05. > :15:48.Thousands of jobs will be saved. It was good news all round. Bit of a

:15:49. > :15:50.pay cut, but better than no job. The deal will secure 4800 jobs and a

:15:51. > :16:22.thousand more. Scunthorpe makes long

:16:23. > :16:23.products like railway tracks and the steel used

:16:24. > :16:25.in construction. That makes it less prone to unfair

:16:26. > :16:27.competition from China, because it is expensive transporting

:16:28. > :16:30.that kind of material worldwide. This place also has stable

:16:31. > :16:32.customers and has supplied Today, as Tata Steel launched

:16:33. > :16:37.the sale of the rest of the UK steel business, the government confirmed

:16:38. > :16:39.it would consider co-investment with a buyer to save the Port Talbot

:16:40. > :16:46.steel plant in Wales. How long will Tata Steel sustain

:16:47. > :16:50.losses before they pull the plug? We are reaching out globally

:16:51. > :16:52.to universal buyers. We have got to hear from them before

:16:53. > :17:06.we figure out how long it will take. The fate of thousands

:17:07. > :17:08.of steelworkers still hangs in It is too early to say if this

:17:09. > :17:12.deal is a turning point, but here in North Lincolnshire

:17:13. > :17:38.they are looking to the future. We are live here in deep BBC

:17:39. > :17:45.newsroom. David Cameron has been setting out his plan to crack down

:17:46. > :17:47.on overseas tax havens. He has been under pressure since the Panama

:17:48. > :17:56.Papers revealed he owned shares in an offshore fund. Let me give you a

:17:57. > :18:07.of what is coming up after Outside Source. On BBC World News they are

:18:08. > :18:12.covering the ceasefire in Yemen. In the UK the News of ten is next. It

:18:13. > :18:25.will include the Duchess of Cambridge's visit to India.

:18:26. > :18:39.There has been some upset between Macedonia and Greece as it is one of

:18:40. > :18:44.the routes used by migrants. Macedonia is restricting who can

:18:45. > :18:50.move north. The pressure is being felt particularly in one camp. It is

:18:51. > :18:55.on the border on the Greek side and this is what happened yesterday. The

:18:56. > :19:00.reports are that some migrants approached Macedonian police, asked

:19:01. > :19:08.if they could travel north, they were told no. Circumstances have

:19:09. > :19:20.been disagreed on, but take us was used. Medecins Sans Frontieres said

:19:21. > :19:26.that the take gas was directed into the camp at women and children. Here

:19:27. > :19:33.is one of their doctors. I have three children under the age of ten

:19:34. > :19:41.who have had rubber bullets to the head. There was a stampede many

:19:42. > :19:46.people have chest injuries. We have also had a number of pregnant women

:19:47. > :19:51.who have come in who need assessment and up to 200 people who have been

:19:52. > :19:57.affected by tear gas. We have looked for a statement from the Macedonian

:19:58. > :20:04.police and government, but we have not found one. Let's talk about what

:20:05. > :20:12.is happening on either side of the border between North and South Korea

:20:13. > :20:16.because a senior North Korean officer has defected. We have not

:20:17. > :20:22.been told the name of this person, but we have been told he is a senior

:20:23. > :20:28.colonel. Defections from the North to the South is not unusual. The

:20:29. > :20:35.reason this is a story is because high level defections RF. Steve

:20:36. > :20:39.Evans explains. All the commotion about this

:20:40. > :20:44.defection comes from the government here in South Korea and it is in the

:20:45. > :20:49.interest of the government to paint up any disarray there is in the Yong

:20:50. > :20:56.Yang. But the detail emerging here is the man who has defected is a

:20:57. > :21:08.senior member of the very bureau in charge of spying on South Korea. So

:21:09. > :21:14.if the claims are true, he brings valuable information. This defection

:21:15. > :21:34.comes within the week -- a week of another defection. Staff of arrest a

:21:35. > :21:42.rant -- of a restaurant defected. If they have fled via China, it raises

:21:43. > :21:51.questions about morale and also how citizens can get through China with

:21:52. > :21:54.out the connivance of the Chinese authorities. The assumption must be

:21:55. > :22:00.that China nodded them through. We will finish with some good news.

:22:01. > :22:03.For the first time in a century they are up.

:22:04. > :22:05.The latest census by the World Wildlife Foundation

:22:06. > :22:08.put the global number at 3,890 in the wild.

:22:09. > :22:14.The WWF says, "More important than the absolute numbers

:22:15. > :22:16.is the trend, and we're seeing the trend going

:22:17. > :22:47.Tigers are amongst the most spectacular creatures on earth, but

:22:48. > :22:52.they are vulnerable. A few years ago I joined a patrol in Thailand trying

:22:53. > :22:58.to protect tigers. It felt like a military operation. The big threat

:22:59. > :23:02.is from well armed poachers and the guards are often outgunned. In the

:23:03. > :23:08.markets of Asia tiger parts they chide prices so demand for the

:23:09. > :23:12.animals is relentless. Tigers have been in trouble for decades. The red

:23:13. > :23:16.areas on this map show where they were found a century ago, but now be

:23:17. > :23:23.far smaller orange areas are all they have got. And the numbers tell

:23:24. > :23:29.the same story. There were about 100,000 tigers a hundred years back.

:23:30. > :23:36.That collapse to 3200 by 2010. Now there are welcome signs of a slight

:23:37. > :23:39.rise to nearly 4000. It is a fantastic piece of news and has been

:23:40. > :23:46.a result of decades of hard work I government, by a lot of partners on

:23:47. > :23:52.the ground. By the local community is coming together. Is the threat is

:23:53. > :23:57.over? The threat is far from over and the future of tigers still hangs

:23:58. > :24:03.by a thread. So every day the patrols need to keep watch, planning

:24:04. > :24:06.how to beat the poachers. Whether guards do well, the number of tigers

:24:07. > :24:11.start to rise. Automatic cameras planted in the forest film the

:24:12. > :24:17.scenes of the animals as they pass by. It takes technology and a big

:24:18. > :24:23.budget to keep the tigers alive, but without this effort the only century

:24:24. > :24:30.would be a place like this, London zoo. Even to Abe thick pane of

:24:31. > :24:36.glass, it is something been this close to a tiger. But the truth is

:24:37. > :24:39.that many more of these animals are in captivity than the wild and in

:24:40. > :24:46.the wild it is a constant struggle to keep them safe. Only in 13

:24:47. > :24:51.countries do tigers roam free. In a handful of them numbers are rising,

:24:52. > :25:00.but in many of the rest, extension remains a real possibility.

:25:01. > :25:02.That is your lot for the first show of the week. I will see you tomorrow

:25:03. > :25:19.at the same time. Goodbye. Yesterday I spoke about the battle

:25:20. > :25:20.taking place between low and high pressure. That has not been
