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. |
