Hello, I'm Philippa Thomas, this is Outside Source. | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
Islamic State militants disguised as doctors have attacked | :00:20. | :00:20. | |
a military hospital in Kabul, leaving more than 30 people dead. | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
TRANSLATION: When he fired only I felt down on the ground. But Doctor | :00:24. | :00:30. | |
shot my colleague. Somehow I escaped using the backpacks that. -- the | :00:31. | :00:37. | |
back exit. The US says all options | :00:38. | :00:38. | |
are on the table to deal with North Korea and will not | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
consider entering into negotiations This is not a national... Rational | :00:42. | :00:52. | |
person. At least 19 teenage girls have died in a blaze at a children's | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
home and what other. And as the world prepares Brexit, | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
the British Government boasts of an economy continuing to grow. As we | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
start negotiations to exit the EU, this Budget takes forward plan to | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
prepare Britain for a brighter future. The UK Government has | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
published its annual Budget, we will bring you the details. | :01:16. | :01:25. | |
More than 30 people have been killed after militants from the so-called | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
Islamic State attacked a military hospital in Afghanistan. | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
The four gunmen, disguised as doctors, targeted | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
the Sardar Daud hospital, which is the biggest in the country. | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
All four attackers were eventually killed during a stand | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
Smoke billows from Afghanistan's largest military hospital. A small | :01:46. | :02:04. | |
group of four or five IS extremists have overwhelmed its defences and | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
are using guns and grenades to attack both medical staff and | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
patients. Some can flee to window ledges high | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
above the ground. One sends out a message, pray for us. | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
It takes helicopters laden with Afghan special forces to launch a | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
counter attack and several hours of fighting to kill the attackers. | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
TRANSLATION: I was in the operating theatre when a suicide bomber | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
wearing a white doctor's uniform came in and opened fire on me. When | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
he fired only I fell down on the ground. The attacker shot my | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
colleague. Somehow I escaped using the backpacks that. | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
The Afghan president said the attack on a hospital trampled human values. | :02:52. | :02:58. | |
But the inability of his security forces to protect such an obvious | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
target raises fresh doubts about the ability of a fragile, often corrupt | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
governments, to prevail against extremists of the Taliban and IS. | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
Now that Isis is on the road to defeat in Iraq and Syria, you have | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
to ask, where will these guys go? Where will these terrorists go? | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
Unfortunately, Afghanistan, as long as it remains unstable like this, is | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
highly attractive to groups like Isis for relocation. | :03:31. | :03:37. | |
Which makes Afghanistan look more vulnerable than ever. No wonder | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
America's top general there has been urging the dispatch of thousands | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
more international troops as military trainers to try to stop the | :03:46. | :03:46. | |
rot. It's been a big day for the UK | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
economy, with the Government Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
Hammond says the UK economy has defied expectations with robust | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
growth since the vote to leave Reflecting the recent strength in | :03:56. | :04:10. | |
the economy, the OBR has upgraded its forecast for growth this year... | :04:11. | :04:19. | |
Next year from 1.4% to 2%. As we start our negotiations to exit the | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
European Union, this Budget takes forward a plan to prepare Britain | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
for a brighter future. It provides a strong and stable platform for those | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
negotiations. It extends opportunity to all our young people. It delivers | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
further investment in public services and continues the task of | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
getting Britain back to living getting Britain back to living | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
within its means. We are building the foundation of a | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
stronger, fairer, more global Britain. | :04:49. | :04:49. | |
The Office for Budget Responsibility is leaving some room for movement. | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
The Guardian's economics reporter Katie Allen tweeted this | :04:53. | :04:54. | |
"The OBR's flame-thrower of uncertainty gets | :04:55. | :04:56. | |
Let's see if I can show you the picture. I really want to and I | :04:57. | :05:10. | |
can't. She shows a graph where you could see the growth coming up going | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
down. Room for uncertainty is what can say. | :05:16. | :05:16. | |
And political opponents say the Government isn't doing enough | :05:17. | :05:18. | |
"An hour of Budget statement and Chancellor didn't even | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
Largest economic headwinds and he ignores it." | :05:24. | :05:30. | |
Angus Robertson from the Scottish National Party says... | :05:31. | :05:32. | |
"Jaw-dropping that given Brexit is the biggest challenge | :05:33. | :05:34. | |
to our economy there was not a single mention | :05:35. | :05:36. | |
Was there enough Brexit in the budget? | :05:37. | :05:47. | |
Here's our political correspondent Rob Watson. | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
In a weird way, although the word Brexit was not used once, it was | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
completely the context in terms of the Government wanting to hammer | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
home that there is economic growth out there, but absolutely a message | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
to a domestic audience in the UK that, though, when we leave the EU | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
we will have to continue with austerity just in case things go | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
wrong on Britain might need to borrow more money, but if we will | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
not be having so many immigrants from the European Union, local | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
people, young people, need more skills and better training to | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
continue to make Britain competitive in the wider world. | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
STUDIO: If you look at the NHS, there are lots of workers from the | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
rest of Europe? Absolutely, you have to remember | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
there are 3.2 million EU nationals living here and an awful lot of | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
employers in the UK, whether the state sector, things like the | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
hospitals, or the private sector, they are deeply fearful of a Brexit | :06:52. | :06:58. | |
that did not continue to allow high numbers of people to come from the | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
European Union, both skilled and, it has to be said, not so skilled. Some | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
chancellors like to be more dramatic than others and have giveaways and | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
dramatic announcements, did you feel this was more cautious? Absolutely | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
and it is not like Mr Hammond is trying to pretend he wants to be | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
seen another way, he takes pride in the nickname Spreadsheet Phil. He is | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
trying to lose sure a domestic and an international audience that | :07:28. | :07:34. | |
Brexit is not the end of the world, Britain will reply its national | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
debts and be competitive in the world. It is one thing to say that | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
and look calm like Mr Hammond, an awful lot of economists and the | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
financial markets are many businesses say that we will have to | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
wait-and-see, we feel there even certain about Brexit indeed. | :07:50. | :07:51. | |
The outlook for the UK economy is rather different to | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
what the International Monetary Fund had predicted - it warned that | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
Here's the BBC's Katty Kay reminding IMF managing director | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
Christine Lagarde of her negative outlook. | :08:02. | :08:12. | |
The IMF had been pessimistic about the prospects for the British | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
economy if Brexit were to take place. Actually, it has not panned | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
out like that so far. Ayew revising your folk -- forecast on the British | :08:23. | :08:31. | |
economy, post Brexit? We publish the update to the world economic | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
Outlook. We will be very attentive to the industrial activity results, | :08:36. | :08:44. | |
service activity results, the way that sterling is behaving and so on | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
and so forth. If we get something wrong, we are the first to admit. | :08:50. | :08:56. | |
But, as you said, let's watch. You don't think the IMF got it wrong in | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
this case? We revise, as I just said. | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
Moving on another developing the story, a new twist in the death of | :09:06. | :09:12. | |
King John Mann, the half brother of the North Korean leader. | :09:13. | :09:21. | |
-- A new twist in the death of Kim Jong-nam, the half-brother | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
The son of the dead man - and the last known male | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
in the Kim bloodline, perhaps a potential future leader - | :09:29. | :09:30. | |
has released a video statement from his hiding place. | :09:31. | :09:32. | |
My name is Kim Han-sol, from North Korea, part of the Kim family. Here | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
is my passport. My father has been killed in a few | :09:37. | :09:52. | |
days ago. I am currently with my mother and sister and we are very | :09:53. | :10:02. | |
grateful to... And we hope this gets better soon. | :10:03. | :10:04. | |
There are a couple of things that are odd about this video. | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
You'll have noticed the bit where Kim Han-sol's audio is cut | :10:08. | :10:09. | |
The other thing is that the group that have released this - | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
Cheollima Civil Defense - is an unknown quantity. | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
If you look online, its YouTube account has only | :10:20. | :10:21. | |
I am not quite sure what has happened there! | :10:22. | :10:32. | |
I asked our Asia Pacific regional editor Celia Hatton what she makes | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
For a few hours when it first surfaced, no one was really clear | :10:36. | :10:51. | |
about the identity of the young man in the video. It looked like Kim | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
Han-sol, but we have not seen him in public or quite a few years and it | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
was not until South Korean intelligence officials confirmed his | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
identity, said, yes, it was him, but they did not want to go further to | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
talk about the video itself. Part of that reasoning, I think, is nobody | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
really knows very much about the group that posted the video on | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
YouTube, the Cheollima Civil Defense group... Which we have never heard | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
of. No, they are not one of the UN officially recognised refugee groups | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
known for bringing refugees from North Korea to South Korea, not | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
associated with any foreign government or any NGO that we know. | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
My personal theory is maybe Kim Han-sol himself is behind this | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
group, because it has a bit of a whimsical name, he is a year-old | :11:42. | :11:48. | |
young man. It is named after a mythical horselike creature known in | :11:49. | :11:55. | |
Korean and Chinese culture for travelling far distances. He is very | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
isolated and I guess he is also in danger? It is agreed that he is in a | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
lot of danger. Even before his father was killed it was quite clear | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
that that family was targeted. They are a family of immense interest | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
because, really, if the current North Korean regime falls, if Kim | :12:17. | :12:18. | |
Jong Un for whatever reason is taken out of power, this branch of the Kim | :12:19. | :12:28. | |
family are the natural ones to sleep in. Kim Jong-nam before he was | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
killed was the eldest son of Kim Jong Un, in Korean culture that | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
place in the family holds a lot of power and respect, so the son of the | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
eldest son will now be Kim Han-sol, he holds the power. To come back to | :12:43. | :12:50. | |
the assassination of his father, the diplomatic fallout continues. What | :12:51. | :12:58. | |
is the latest? That Malaysia, in one state of Malaysia, zero wax, after | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
of the Malaysia and mainland, in Borneo, people there are rounding up | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
North Korean workers with expired passports, more than 160 have been | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
rounded up and detained by immigration officials in Malaysia, | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
those officials say they are talking to the federal government in Kuala | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
Lumpur to decide what to do. That leaves about 36 North Korean workers | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
still on valid work permits inside Malaysia. They are really | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
interesting, they are the workers who have long been seen to be doing | :13:30. | :13:35. | |
the jobs that are too dangerous for Malaysians to do, jobs in mining and | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
construction. Clearly the Malaysia authorities have changed their minds | :13:41. | :13:41. | |
about the value of having these about the value of | :13:42. | :13:48. | |
they are being very proactive in making sure... Checking work permits | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
and anyone with an expired one is in custody of the Malaysia and | :13:54. | :13:54. | |
immigration authorities. US Ambassador to the UN, | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
Nikki Haley, says North Korea must show positive action before | :13:59. | :14:01. | |
the international community can take Kim Jong Un's regime seriously | :14:02. | :14:03. | |
and discuss ways of reducing The comments come after | :14:04. | :14:06. | |
North Korea launched four I appreciate all of my counterparts | :14:07. | :14:23. | |
wanting to talk about talks and negotiations. We are not dealing | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
with a rational person. If this was any other country we would be | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
talking about that and it would not be an issue. This is not a rational | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
person who has not had rational acts, who is not thinking clearly. I | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
can tell you the stance of the United States is that we are | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
re-evaluating how we will handle North Korea going forward and we are | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
making those decisions now and will act accordingly. | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
Barbara Plett Usher is that the US State Department in Washington. | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
Barbara, this re-evaluation and demand for positive action from | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
North Korea, watched you read into it? | :15:02. | :15:04. | |
We got the same message here from the State Department, probably not | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
in quite as blunt language, and I think that is the policy the | :15:09. | :15:11. | |
Americans have heard for a while. They are open to dialogue with North | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
Korea but only if it shows it is serious about what the Americans | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
want to talk about, ending banned weapons tests like the kind we saw a | :15:22. | :15:27. | |
few days ago and showing they are serious about the nuclear arising, | :15:28. | :15:29. | |
which the North Korean side said they will never do. -- about | :15:30. | :15:39. | |
denuclearisation. He also responded to a Chinese suggestion that in | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
order to address can things down, the Chinese are quite worried about | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
the escalation of tensions on the peninsula, there will be a freeze | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
for freeze, that the South Koreans and stop their joint military | :15:53. | :15:55. | |
exercises, which North Korea says it is a threat and says it is | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
responding to, in exchange North Korea would stop missile testing. | :16:01. | :16:06. | |
America has said that as apples and oranges, our exercises are purely | :16:07. | :16:09. | |
defensive because of the threat from North Korea, North Korea is defying | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
international law. But there is a re-evaluation going on and the State | :16:15. | :16:17. | |
Department said that Secretary Rex Tillerson will be going to Korea, | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
Japan and other areas next week to deal with what the American seat as | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
an increasingly dangerous situation, trying to generate a new approach | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
which will be a challenge to come up with new ideas, it has always been | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
difficult trying to figure redhead to deal with North Korea. That was | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
very diplomatically put, it will be a challenge! At least 19 teenagers | :16:40. | :16:52. | |
have died in able is near Guatemala City, stay with us. ... Died in a | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
blaze. After the Chancellor | :16:58. | :16:58. | |
of the Exchequer Philip Hammond delivered his Budget, | :16:59. | :17:02. | |
the Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn described it as built | :17:03. | :17:04. | |
on unfairness and failure. This was a Budget of utter | :17:05. | :17:17. | |
complacency about the state of our economy. As a complacency about the | :17:18. | :17:26. | |
crisis facing public services and complacent about the reality of | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
daily life for millions of people in this country. | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
Entirely out of touch with that reality of life for millions. This | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
morning, over 1 million workers will have woken up not knowing whether | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
they will work today, tomorrow or next week. Millions more workers | :17:45. | :17:52. | |
know their next pay packets will not be enough to make ends meet. | :17:53. | :18:02. | |
This is Outside Source live from the BBC newsroom. | :18:03. | :18:04. | |
More than 30 people have been killed after militants from the so-called | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
Islamic State attacked a military hospital in Afghanistan. | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
The four gunmen were disguised as doctors. | :18:14. | :18:21. | |
Arab lawmakers in Israel's Knesset are outraged after it voted | :18:22. | :18:24. | |

The airport serving Nigeria's capital city is closed from today. | :18:27. | :18:40. | |
Abuja's International Airport normally handles | :18:41. | :18:41. | |
But it needs runway repairs, so for six weeks flights | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
will diverted to a tiny airport in Kaduna. | :18:46. | :18:50. | |
That is on BBC Halsa. This girl has become the youngest | :18:51. | :19:00. | |

Firefighters in Guatemala say that at least 19 people | :19:08. | :19:09. | |
have died in a blaze at a children's care home. | :19:10. | :19:16. | |
The home was about 25 kilometres south-east of the capital, | :19:17. | :19:18. | |
Guatemala City, near a town called San Jose Pinula, you can see | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
About 25 others were injured in the fire. | :19:22. | :19:28. | |
Will Grant is following the story from Cuba. | :19:29. | :19:35. | |
It is just one of those awful stories that periodically appear | :19:36. | :19:42. | |
from Central America, as you said in your introduction it was at a | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
children's home. We believe at least 19 people have died, probably nine | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
of them children, according to one volunteer firefighter on the scene. | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
Images of desperate family members turning up to find out information | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
about their loved ones, and some confusion about how it actually | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
started. There have been suggestions in the Guatemalan media that there | :20:06. | :20:07. | |
was some form of riot in the children's home last night, it was a | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
mixture of a children's home for children who had been rescued from | :20:14. | :20:20. | |
human trafficking but also it has been suggested in the local media | :20:21. | :20:25. | |
that it has also been doubling up as a detention centre for juveniles. I | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
think there are some difficulties suggestions that abuse might have | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
taken place. Whatever the cause, it seems the blaze started in one of | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
the bedrooms and quickly ripped through the entire building, leaving | :20:37. | :20:39. | |
this devastating situation that is still unfolding. | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
Turkey and Germany are not happy with each other at the moment. | :20:43. | :20:44. | |
So much so that both Turkey's President and Foreign Minister | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
have likened the German government to Nazis. | :20:48. | :20:49. | |
As you can see, today the country's Foreign Ministers got together. | :20:50. | :20:51. | |
Here's the German take on that meeting. | :20:52. | :21:00. | |
TRANSLATION: Are meeting today was good, honest, friendly and open but | :21:01. | :21:06. | |
also contentious and hard. I made clear that the equations of modern | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
Germany would not see Germany and attacks against democracy and | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
justice are not acceptable. This is the freest country that ever existed | :21:15. | :21:15. | |
on German soil. But Turkey's complained, | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
"In Germany we see many politicians and the press are very harsh | :21:19. | :21:20. | |
and very anti-Turkey, and we even One of the reasons for this tension | :21:21. | :21:23. | |
is because of a referendum that's President Erdogan wants | :21:24. | :21:32. | |
a constitutional change that Here's Jenny Hill to explain | :21:33. | :21:36. | |
why that's affected Turkish voices in the heart of | :21:37. | :21:53. | |
Germany. 3 million Turks live here, in effect it is turkey's fourth | :21:54. | :22:00. | |
largest electoral district. So the president needs their support | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
if he is to change the constitution and extend his powers. Not everyone | :22:05. | :22:12. | |
will dance to his tune. TRANSLATION: Erdogan is provocative and desert to | :22:13. | :22:16. | |
strengthen national sentiment in Turkey. He wants the Turkish people | :22:17. | :22:19. | |
to believe it is the Western powers against Turkey. TRANSLATION: | :22:20. | :22:26. | |
Actually there is huge opposition to the Erdogan regime in the Turkish | :22:27. | :22:29. | |
community here, but there is nearly no coverage in the media about it, | :22:30. | :22:35. | |
so Germans think that every Turkish person supported organ, which is | :22:36. | :22:38. | |
simply not the case. But there is significant support for | :22:39. | :22:44. | |
Mr Dorgan, as his Foreign Minister found on the campaign trail in | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
Hamburg. The German authorities stopped other rallies, citing | :22:49. | :22:54. | |
security problems. A furious Turkish president likened them to the Nazis. | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
TRANSLATION: Of course he benefits from the controversy, it is his | :23:00. | :23:02. | |
intention. He sees Germany as a colony and he proved that when he | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
said if the German Government stops them from campaigning here then they | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
will be confronted with an uprising. This morning crisis talks, little | :23:12. | :23:17. | |
change. Ankara insists it will continue to campaign in Germany and | :23:18. | :23:23. | |
despite pressure from Berlin, a journalist from the German newspaper | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
is still in a Turkish jail. TRANSLATION: People should have the | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
right to campaign freely, then voters can decide what is right or | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
wrong. Germans have to accept that. The relationship between Berlin and | :23:36. | :23:41. | |
Ankara is often stormy, though seldom to this extent. There is a | :23:42. | :23:44. | |
lot of stake. Remember, Angela Merkel was the main architect of | :23:45. | :23:50. | |
that deal between the EU and Turkey. Turkey holds back asylum seekers in | :23:51. | :23:55. | |
return for billions of euros. Arguably it is that tie which stops | :23:56. | :23:58. | |
this relationship from falling apart. | :23:59. | :24:07. | |
Old music, new divisions and a bitter tone from Ankara. Germany, it | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
warns, must decide whether it is a friend or foe. | :24:13. | :24:17. | |
The Economist has released its annual glass-ceiling index | :24:18. | :24:19. | |
measuring gender equality in the labour market. | :24:20. | :24:22. | |
This is on International Women's Day. Let's bring up the winners and | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
losers, if you like. Of the 29 OECD countries ranked, | :24:28. | :24:28. | |
Iceland, Sweden and Norway are the top three places to be | :24:29. | :24:31. | |
a working woman. South Korea, Japan and | :24:32. | :24:33. | |
Turkey are the worst. Hello. Tell us some more about how | :24:34. | :24:48. | |
they work out these rankings? They look at a range of statistics from | :24:49. | :24:56. | |
Labour participation, pay, maternity benefits, paternity benefits. They | :24:57. | :25:01. | |
average everything out, that is how they have come together with this. | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
What is interesting, one of the things that jumped out at me is that | :25:06. | :25:08. | |
if you look back to 2005 they were talking about the number of women in | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
the labour force, the Labour participation rate, they said it was | :25:15. | :25:21. | |
60%. Fast forwarding ten years, and advanced -- in advanced, | :25:22. | :25:25. | |
industrialise countries, it has only crept up to 63%, so you have not | :25:26. | :25:31. | |
seen a great deal of progress from 2005 to 2050 when talking about | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
industrialised nations and women in the labour market. -- two 2015. | :25:36. | :25:44. | |
Where does the USA rang? 20th. The UK is 22nd. Donald Trump has tweeted | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
about this. At the moment I believe there are two female Cabinet members | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
in his Government. Well done, Michelle Fleury. Very | :25:54. | :25:59. | |
quick. That is it from this edition, but to do is stay with | :26:00. | :26:00. |
