The Prime Minister has been responding to a week of

:00:11.:00:24.

pleasure to see he is going to make it harder for people to salt away

:00:25.:00:27.

money overseas in offshore tax havens.

:00:28.:00:39.

Brazil is getting closer to impeaching its president.

:00:40.:00:52.

We also focus on the border between Macedonia and Greece. And our new

:00:53.:01:00.

golf champion has been talking to the BBC.

:01:01.:01:19.

As we have been discussing, the Prime Minister has led a move for

:01:20.:01:26.

himself, the Chancellor and their counterparts in the opposition to

:01:27.:01:31.

release the tax details. It raises the question as to who else should

:01:32.:01:35.

reveal all and how it compares to other countries. The BBC's financial

:01:36.:01:40.

correspondent has been looking into these issues.

:01:41.:01:49.

Not far from Westminster, those who work and pay their taxes

:01:50.:01:51.

have strong views about whether MPs should tell

:01:52.:01:53.

Should all MPs should publish their tax returns?

:01:54.:01:57.

I think it would be more transparent and we

:01:58.:02:00.

would have less uncertainty in the country.

:02:01.:02:02.

There would not be any, is this person doing this or that?

:02:03.:02:04.

They should give more information than

:02:05.:02:08.

I think for transparency and gaining trust.

:02:09.:02:11.

It is not necessarily appropriate all the time.

:02:12.:02:12.

I think there is a right to privacy to some extent.

:02:13.:02:16.

Those in very high office, the Prime Minster,

:02:17.:02:18.

potentially the Cabinet if you want to go that far,

:02:19.:02:20.

In terms of all MPs and civil servants

:02:21.:02:23.

With some politicians choosing to publish their tax

:02:24.:02:29.

details, the PM thinks only those at the top of government,

:02:30.:02:32.

it is argued, should do so, but all MPs face pressure.

:02:33.:02:37.

MPs will have to publish their tax returns in the next few years.

:02:38.:02:41.

I am not excited about this but it is the

:02:42.:02:43.

mood of the country and politicians need

:02:44.:02:45.

to restore trust in them and this may be helpful.

:02:46.:02:53.

In America, tax details are private but most presidents

:02:54.:03:03.

reveal their tax returns on a voluntary basis.

:03:04.:03:05.

In Norway, the public and all politicians have to

:03:06.:03:07.

disclose their tax details so everybody can look at the figures.

:03:08.:03:10.

No politician in France has to release

:03:11.:03:12.

The issue most people raise is about trust in

:03:13.:03:18.

Some MPs who say they will release their tax returns also

:03:19.:03:21.

say they are not sure what impact it will have and it is better to try

:03:22.:03:25.

At the moment, MPs have to register expenses and

:03:26.:03:29.

But not everything has to be included.

:03:30.:03:36.

So will public pressure mean new rules for MPs?

:03:37.:03:40.

We need to think about the impact it will have.

:03:41.:03:43.

Might it deter people who have in order

:03:44.:03:45.

aspect of their privacy they have to surrender?

:03:46.:03:49.

That is a reality which needs to come into the equation.

:03:50.:03:52.

have more transparency and have less.

:03:53.:03:59.

What started as a row about offshore tax has turned into one

:04:00.:04:02.

To force the place to start. The English golfer Danny Willett is the

:04:03.:04:31.

man of the moment. He is the first Englishman to win the Masters for 20

:04:32.:04:42.

years. If you are keeping an eye on Twitter last night and watching at

:04:43.:04:45.

the same thing, you will probably know that his brother was making

:04:46.:04:50.

quite a lot of tweets. Look at this one. It really was quite a

:04:51.:05:06.

performance. Champion, how does that feel? It is hard to believe. It is

:05:07.:05:19.

nice to be able to come back here and celebrate with them. Very

:05:20.:05:28.

special coming in here. It is a little bit more rockets on here than

:05:29.:05:33.

it was with all the members. It has been an incredible day. How much are

:05:34.:05:38.

you looking forward to getting back home? We will get back as soon as we

:05:39.:05:53.

can. Everything that comes in and around being a winner of a major

:05:54.:05:59.

tournament is all rolled up in one and we will see what life brings.

:06:00.:06:10.

What is the night going to be like in here? I have a sneaking feeling

:06:11.:06:16.

it may be a good one! You can see highlights of his victory on the BBC

:06:17.:06:18.

sport website. No secret it has major

:06:19.:06:22.

ambitions but now we have En route, it wants 50 million

:06:23.:06:25.

children and adults And more than 60,000 football

:06:26.:06:32.

grounds will be built or renovated The end game is, as you'd imagine,

:06:33.:06:36.

winning the World Cup. Celia Hatton has been our

:06:37.:06:45.

correspondent in Beijing, back here in the newsroom,

:06:46.:06:56.

still covering the country. The plan has been carried out the

:06:57.:07:10.

really carry out every plan. They want to be a football superpower by

:07:11.:07:14.

2050 and via various strategic about how to carry that out. They want to

:07:15.:07:21.

get 15 million children and adults playing the sport in the years to

:07:22.:07:25.

come so the building lots of football pictures so that can be

:07:26.:07:31.

done. They will be starting football academies and we hope that star

:07:32.:07:37.

players will lead to the eventual goal of 2050 of them winning the

:07:38.:07:45.

World Cup. The football is in a very bad state. The mainstream is very

:07:46.:07:50.

pure. The women's team has done a lot better. They were in the World

:07:51.:07:59.

Cup last year. It has been getting a lot of focus. Domestically, the leak

:08:00.:08:04.

has been beset with a lot of scandal, corruption and bribery

:08:05.:08:08.

scandals, but they are also throwing a lot of money at the problem. We

:08:09.:08:15.

have spent $360 million bringing foreign players over. They are

:08:16.:08:20.

trying to boost the excitement in the league. We can talk about

:08:21.:08:26.

football in Turkey. Police had to use tear gas and water cannons to

:08:27.:08:31.

stop fans ahead of the match in Istanbul. They were entering their

:08:32.:08:41.

first match any brand-new stadium. Let us try and understand more about

:08:42.:08:48.

what happened. This does not sound like it was their plan. Absolutely

:08:49.:08:54.

not. Supporters arrived in the top of the league team Besiktas were

:08:55.:09:07.

playing the first game at the new stadium. It has been under

:09:08.:09:16.

construction for three years. But police trucks fired water cannons

:09:17.:09:27.

and tear gas. The authorities had blocked all traffic and formed a

:09:28.:09:34.

security line. Turkey has been subject to take security in recent

:09:35.:09:41.

times after a series of bombings in Istanbul and in the capital. Thank

:09:42.:09:54.

you for joining us. You can download the BBC sports on your phone. Next,

:09:55.:10:03.

we are going to turn to a distressing story in Canada.

:10:04.:10:14.

Distressing story from Canada of one indigenous community in which 11

:10:15.:10:17.

people tried to take their own lives on Saturday night.

:10:18.:10:19.

A state of emergency has been declared.

:10:20.:10:21.

This is part of a broader problem - more than 100 people have tried

:10:22.:10:24.

to kill themselves in the last seven months in this one

:10:25.:10:27.

And this is Attawapiskat in Northern Ontario.

:10:28.:10:33.

It is about 1000 kilometres from the capital.

:10:34.:10:47.

The Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has called this

:10:48.:10:49.

heartbreaking, and has promised to continue to work

:10:50.:10:51.

to improve living conditions for all Indigenous peoples.

:10:52.:10:53.

This isn't the only ongoing State of Emergency.

:10:54.:10:57.

There were also dozens of suicide attempts in Manitoba's Pimi-chikamak

:10:58.:10:59.

The SC State of emergency via as well.

:11:00.:11:15.

This is one of the community's leaders.

:11:16.:11:22.

We did not have access to what other people do in the rest of the

:11:23.:11:31.

country, access to jobs, access to education and access to the needs

:11:32.:11:36.

things in life. The people feel left out. We do not empower young people

:11:37.:11:42.

enough and take the time to invest in them, investing resources and

:11:43.:11:49.

time in them. There are a number of statements online from key

:11:50.:11:53.

government officials. This was the Minister of health. The sea they

:11:54.:12:02.

will send medical emergency teams to assist the community. Interestingly,

:12:03.:12:09.

others CV have been asking for this help for a long time. I have been

:12:10.:12:20.

speaking to national chief from the head of aboriginal peoples in Ottawa

:12:21.:12:24.

and he has been explaining the scale of the problem facing the indigenous

:12:25.:12:30.

people. It is a crisis situation, not only in this community but for

:12:31.:12:37.

many others. These are clearly long-term problems which will

:12:38.:12:41.

require long-term solutions, but what immediate support is required?

:12:42.:12:49.

Immediately, some sort of crisis management being established in

:12:50.:12:54.

these areas queer there are strong indications of problems or even in

:12:55.:12:59.

those areas where there has been suicide attempts in the past. That

:13:00.:13:06.

requires people here who are available 24 hours a day. There are

:13:07.:13:15.

1.4 million indigenous Canadians. What are the main problems which

:13:16.:13:20.

affect them? What are the specific issues facing these communities?

:13:21.:13:27.

There are problems definitely which are global in nature. Recent reports

:13:28.:13:40.

from our statistics has been clarifying that for a number of

:13:41.:13:45.

years, high rates of infant mortality, heart attack rates in so

:13:46.:13:54.

many other statistics indicating that how seriously these issues are.

:13:55.:14:05.

Over 135 drinking water deaths. It has been a long-standing problem.

:14:06.:14:11.

Pretty much indicating that there has been a blind eye turned to this.

:14:12.:14:17.

They feel hopeless, the feel forgotten in the list are definite

:14:18.:14:21.

disconnect here. It is a crisis situation which needs the

:14:22.:14:31.

authorities to address the problem. We will be giving you regular

:14:32.:14:37.

updates on that in the next few days and weeks. Some good news for

:14:38.:14:38.

conservationists. For the first time in

:14:39.:14:40.

a century they are up. Good news for the steel industry in

:14:41.:15:03.

Great Britain. The Scunthorpe factory is going to be bought.

:15:04.:15:04.

Thousands of jobs will be saved. It was good news all round. Bit of a

:15:05.:15:48.

pay cut, but better than no job. The deal will secure 4800 jobs and a

:15:49.:15:50.

thousand more. Scunthorpe makes long

:15:51.:16:22.

products like railway tracks and the steel used

:16:23.:16:23.

in construction. That makes it less prone to unfair

:16:24.:16:25.

competition from China, because it is expensive transporting

:16:26.:16:27.

that kind of material worldwide. This place also has stable

:16:28.:16:30.

customers and has supplied Today, as Tata Steel launched

:16:31.:16:32.

the sale of the rest of the UK steel business, the government confirmed

:16:33.:16:37.

it would consider co-investment with a buyer to save the Port Talbot

:16:38.:16:39.

steel plant in Wales. How long will Tata Steel sustain

:16:40.:16:46.

losses before they pull the plug? We are reaching out globally

:16:47.:16:50.

to universal buyers. We have got to hear from them before

:16:51.:16:52.

we figure out how long it will take. The fate of thousands

:16:53.:17:06.

of steelworkers still hangs in It is too early to say if this

:17:07.:17:08.

deal is a turning point, but here in North Lincolnshire

:17:09.:17:12.

they are looking to the future. We are live here in deep BBC

:17:13.:17:38.

newsroom. David Cameron has been setting out his plan to crack down

:17:39.:17:45.

on overseas tax havens. He has been under pressure since the Panama

:17:46.:17:47.

Papers revealed he owned shares in an offshore fund. Let me give you a

:17:48.:17:56.

of what is coming up after Outside Source. On BBC World News they are

:17:57.:18:07.

covering the ceasefire in Yemen. In the UK the News of ten is next. It

:18:08.:18:12.

will include the Duchess of Cambridge's visit to India.

:18:13.:18:25.

There has been some upset between Macedonia and Greece as it is one of

:18:26.:18:39.

the routes used by migrants. Macedonia is restricting who can

:18:40.:18:44.

move north. The pressure is being felt particularly in one camp. It is

:18:45.:18:50.

on the border on the Greek side and this is what happened yesterday. The

:18:51.:18:55.

reports are that some migrants approached Macedonian police, asked

:18:56.:19:00.

if they could travel north, they were told no. Circumstances have

:19:01.:19:08.

been disagreed on, but take us was used. Medecins Sans Frontieres said

:19:09.:19:20.

that the take gas was directed into the camp at women and children. Here

:19:21.:19:26.

is one of their doctors. I have three children under the age of ten

:19:27.:19:33.

who have had rubber bullets to the head. There was a stampede many

:19:34.:19:41.

people have chest injuries. We have also had a number of pregnant women

:19:42.:19:46.

who have come in who need assessment and up to 200 people who have been

:19:47.:19:51.

affected by tear gas. We have looked for a statement from the Macedonian

:19:52.:19:57.

police and government, but we have not found one. Let's talk about what

:19:58.:20:04.

is happening on either side of the border between North and South Korea

:20:05.:20:12.

because a senior North Korean officer has defected. We have not

:20:13.:20:16.

been told the name of this person, but we have been told he is a senior

:20:17.:20:22.

colonel. Defections from the North to the South is not unusual. The

:20:23.:20:28.

reason this is a story is because high level defections RF. Steve

:20:29.:20:35.

Evans explains. All the commotion about this

:20:36.:20:39.

defection comes from the government here in South Korea and it is in the

:20:40.:20:44.

interest of the government to paint up any disarray there is in the Yong

:20:45.:20:49.

Yang. But the detail emerging here is the man who has defected is a

:20:50.:20:56.

senior member of the very bureau in charge of spying on South Korea. So

:20:57.:21:08.

if the claims are true, he brings valuable information. This defection

:21:09.:21:14.

comes within the week -- a week of another defection. Staff of arrest a

:21:15.:21:34.

rant -- of a restaurant defected. If they have fled via China, it raises

:21:35.:21:42.

questions about morale and also how citizens can get through China with

:21:43.:21:51.

out the connivance of the Chinese authorities. The assumption must be

:21:52.:21:54.

that China nodded them through. We will finish with some good news.

:21:55.:22:00.

For the first time in a century they are up.

:22:01.:22:03.

The latest census by the World Wildlife Foundation

:22:04.:22:05.

put the global number at 3,890 in the wild.

:22:06.:22:08.

The WWF says, "More important than the absolute numbers

:22:09.:22:14.

is the trend, and we're seeing the trend going

:22:15.:22:16.

Tigers are amongst the most spectacular creatures on earth, but

:22:17.:22:47.

they are vulnerable. A few years ago I joined a patrol in Thailand trying

:22:48.:22:52.

to protect tigers. It felt like a military operation. The big threat

:22:53.:22:58.

is from well armed poachers and the guards are often outgunned. In the

:22:59.:23:02.

markets of Asia tiger parts they chide prices so demand for the

:23:03.:23:08.

animals is relentless. Tigers have been in trouble for decades. The red

:23:09.:23:12.

areas on this map show where they were found a century ago, but now be

:23:13.:23:16.

far smaller orange areas are all they have got. And the numbers tell

:23:17.:23:23.

the same story. There were about 100,000 tigers a hundred years back.

:23:24.:23:29.

That collapse to 3200 by 2010. Now there are welcome signs of a slight

:23:30.:23:36.

rise to nearly 4000. It is a fantastic piece of news and has been

:23:37.:23:39.

a result of decades of hard work I government, by a lot of partners on

:23:40.:23:46.

the ground. By the local community is coming together. Is the threat is

:23:47.:23:52.

over? The threat is far from over and the future of tigers still hangs

:23:53.:23:57.

by a thread. So every day the patrols need to keep watch, planning

:23:58.:24:03.

how to beat the poachers. Whether guards do well, the number of tigers

:24:04.:24:06.

start to rise. Automatic cameras planted in the forest film the

:24:07.:24:11.

scenes of the animals as they pass by. It takes technology and a big

:24:12.:24:17.

budget to keep the tigers alive, but without this effort the only century

:24:18.:24:23.

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

:24:24.:24:30.

glass, it is something been this close to a tiger. But the truth is

:24:31.:24:36.

that many more of these animals are in captivity than the wild and in

:24:37.:24:39.

the wild it is a constant struggle to keep them safe. Only in 13

:24:40.:24:46.

countries do tigers roam free. In a handful of them numbers are rising,

:24:47.:24:51.

but in many of the rest, extension remains a real possibility.

:24:52.:25:00.

That is your lot for the first show of the week. I will see you tomorrow

:25:01.:25:02.

at the same time. Goodbye. Yesterday I spoke about the battle

:25:03.:25:19.

taking place between low and high pressure. That has not been

:25:20.:25:20.
