five-star holding centre for rich
Saudis, part of a massive corruption | 0:00:21 | 0:00:25 | |
investigation into its third week.
The ambitious Crown Prince risks | 0:00:25 | 0:00:32 | |
creating enemies and uncertainty
which could endanger the stability | 0:00:32 | 0:00:35 | |

badly needs. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:41 | |
The international search for

Myanmar signs a deal with Bangladesh
to re-patriate Rohingya Muslims but | 0:00:48 | 0:00:54 | |

light is growing brighter and more | 0:01:00 | 0:01:04 | |
extensive every year. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:14 | |
Welcome to Outsideside Source. We
begin in Saudi Arabia. A story we | 0:01:20 | 0:01:27 | |
have coffered previously previously,
the anti-corruption purge which | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
began almost three weeks ago. The
crackdown initiated by the Crown | 0:01:29 | 0:01:36 | |
Prince bin Salman. Seen by most
Saudis as the country's leader in | 0:01:36 | 0:01:41 | |
waiting. The supporters say that the
purge is overdue, critics say he is | 0:01:41 | 0:01:47 | |
boosting his power, both could be
true. More than 200 people have been | 0:01:47 | 0:01:51 | |
arrested and while the names have
not been released, they are believed | 0:01:51 | 0:01:57 | |
to include 11 prisons, including two
nephews of the Crown Prince. They | 0:01:57 | 0:02:05 | |
are detained in Riyadh in the five
star Ritz Carledon Hotel. Where | 0:02:05 | 0:02:11 | |
wealthy business people and visiting
dignitaries stay. It is very grand | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
there. Donald Trump was there in
May. Lots of visiting dignitaries go | 0:02:14 | 0:02:19 | |
there. Lots of top business
executives. So you can imagine the | 0:02:19 | 0:02:24 | |
speculation as to what is going on
inside The Ritz Calton. For the | 0:02:24 | 0:02:28 | |
first time we can take you there.
The BBC's Lyse Doucet has given this | 0:02:28 | 0:02:37 | |
exclusive report. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:41 | |
We drive in under police escort,
just past midnight. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:43 | |
No-one enters here without
official permission. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:44 | |
The world's most talked about hotel. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:46 | |
Riyadh most palatial, most
prestigious, now a gilded prison. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:48 | |
I'm taken in by Saudi officials
and told, don't film faces or record | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
conversations. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:56 | |
Here in the early hours
of the morning, there are | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
still people in the lobby drinking
coffee as you find in any of five | 0:02:58 | 0:03:08 | |
in any of the five | 0:03:10 | 0:03:11 | |
star hotels in the capital. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:13 | |
Most of the people now
forced to stay here | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
are keeping to themselves. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:16 | |
They are trying to limit
any further damage | 0:03:16 | 0:03:18 | |
to their reputation. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:19 | |
They're mobile phones have
been taken away from | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
them. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:22 | |
But there is a hotline
that is available to them. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
They can call lawyers,
family members, even leading | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
members of the companies that they
are still trying to keep running. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
The world's most pampered prisoners
have every comfort, other than | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
freedom, the state is
picking up this bill. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:34 | |
As far as detention centres
go, this one is beyond | 0:03:34 | 0:03:37 | |
compare. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:42 | |
Luxury swimming pools, restaurants,
a gym, everything is | 0:03:42 | 0:03:44 | |
glittering. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:45 | |
There's even a bowling alley. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:47 | |
But most prisoners just
stay in their rooms. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:51 | |
I'm taken to meet one suspect,
he doesn't give me his name. | 0:03:51 | 0:04:00 | |
He says he spends time
with his lawyer, focussing | 0:04:00 | 0:04:02 | |
on his case, I'm told not | 0:04:02 | 0:04:04 | |
to ask about it. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:05 | |
But I get a briefing. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:06 | |
Senior officials conducting
the crackdown say it is | 0:04:06 | 0:04:08 | |
not a formal investigation, yet,
calling it a friendly process but it | 0:04:08 | 0:04:11 | |
is clearly fraught. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:14 | |
We are told when people
were brought here at midnight | 0:04:14 | 0:04:20 | |
on November 4th, they were angry. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:21 | |
Some thought this was a show
and would not last. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:24 | |
When they realised that they
were here to stay, they | 0:04:24 | 0:04:26 | |
were furious. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:27 | |
Almost everyone here, 95%,
I was told, are willing to make | 0:04:27 | 0:04:32 | |
a deal, to give back
what are said to be | 0:04:32 | 0:04:34 | |
substantial sums of money
in | 0:04:34 | 0:04:35 | |
order to get out of here. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:39 | |
The Crown Prince, 32
years old, is taking on | 0:04:39 | 0:04:42 | |
fellow princes, senior ministers,
and some of the biggest | 0:04:42 | 0:04:46 | |
billionaires, tackling corruption
and concentrating power. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:51 | |
Weeks on, many are asking
questions about why | 0:04:51 | 0:04:55 | |
this purge happened here and now. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:59 | |
Outside of this gilded prison,
it certainly has gone down well. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:06 | |
Many Saudis welcome
an end to the rampant | 0:05:06 | 0:05:08 | |
corruption in the kingdom. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:09 | |
But there are risks too,
the ambitious Crown | 0:05:09 | 0:05:11 | |
Prince risks creating
enemies and uncertainty | 0:05:11 | 0:05:12 | |
which could endanger
the | 0:05:12 | 0:05:13 | |
stability and the reforms
that his kingdom so badly needs. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:20 | |
The Crown Prince hopes everyone
is checking out by the end the year. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:23 | |
The longer the ordeal
drags on, the more | 0:05:23 | 0:05:27 | |
questions will be asked here
and abroad about what is going on | 0:05:27 | 0:05:30 | |
inside. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:31 | |
Lyse Doucet, BBC News,
at the Ritz Carlton, Riyadh. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:36 | |
I've been talking to loose deuce
the, about the crackdown in Saudi | 0:05:36 | 0:05:40 | |
Arabia. I asked her how much money
the Government thinks could be | 0:05:40 | 0:05:44 | |
involved.
Nobody knows for sure. What we were | 0:05:44 | 0:05:47 | |
told, is that there were 201 people
inside The Ritz Carlton hotels, | 0:05:47 | 0:05:53 | |
there may be other hotels too where
people are kept. That 1,000 bank | 0:05:53 | 0:05:59 | |
accounts had been seized. It is the
sons, daughters, the mothers and the | 0:05:59 | 0:06:04 | |
wives of people inside that guildle
prison. There was a figure of $800 | 0:06:04 | 0:06:09 | |
billion in assets. I put that to
someone but they didn't want to | 0:06:09 | 0:06:13 | |
confirm it. They said if they get
there 200 billion back, after they | 0:06:13 | 0:06:24 | |
said is evidence of the accused,
that would be good enough. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:29 | |
We have seen the gilded hotels but
we don't know of the conditions that | 0:06:29 | 0:06:33 | |
some of the detainees could be held
in. It could be harsh? There are | 0:06:33 | 0:06:40 | |
reports of people being mistreated
and falling ill. We asked about the | 0:06:40 | 0:06:45 | |
mistreatment. We said that there was
someone from the human rights and | 0:06:45 | 0:06:52 | |
that there were no complaints. But
people are old, these are people | 0:06:52 | 0:06:57 | |
under huge stress. They are used to
calling the shots. Now the only | 0:06:57 | 0:07:02 | |
power that they have is to call room
service or the hotline as the mobile | 0:07:02 | 0:07:07 | |
phones have been taken away from
them. They are being kept against | 0:07:07 | 0:07:11 | |
their will in this luxury hotel.
And it is a long time now? It's | 0:07:11 | 0:07:16 | |
weeks. They are still trying to run
their businesses. They don't know | 0:07:16 | 0:07:20 | |
what is going to happen to them.
Most were told that they would come | 0:07:20 | 0:07:25 | |
to deals, buying their way to
freedom. And of course we have not | 0:07:25 | 0:07:29 | |
heard from them or their lawyers. So
the Saudi officials are talking | 0:07:29 | 0:07:35 | |
about Saudi laws, that may be the
case but still it does raise | 0:07:35 | 0:07:39 | |
questions and concerns.
You say that 95% of them held could | 0:07:39 | 0:07:43 | |
come to a deal. The 5% holding out,
how could they be treated? 1% have | 0:07:43 | 0:07:51 | |
left. 7% said that they didn't take
files and that the money was given | 0:07:51 | 0:07:56 | |
to somebody else. And 4% are saying
that they are not guilty, that they | 0:07:56 | 0:08:01 | |
are taking it to trial. But a
corruption official said that they | 0:08:01 | 0:08:06 | |
think that they will come to a deal.
Nobody will want a high-profile | 0:08:06 | 0:08:11 | |
trial, nobody will want any
attention, more so than they have | 0:08:11 | 0:08:14 | |
now.
A complex and fascinating story. Now | 0:08:14 | 0:08:19 | |
I know another story I know that
many of you are interested in, the | 0:08:19 | 0:08:26 | |
missing Argentine submarine. It is
now eight days since the San Juan | 0:08:26 | 0:08:31 | |
disappeared with 44 crew on board.
Let's tell you what we know. The | 0:08:31 | 0:08:35 | |
subwas returning from a routine
mission to Ushuaia, that is near the | 0:08:35 | 0:08:40 | |
southern tip of South America. This
is where it surfaced to report an | 0:08:40 | 0:08:44 | |
electrical breakdown. Then ordered
to return to come here to the Naval | 0:08:44 | 0:08:49 | |
Base at Mar del plata. The last
contact was made at 7.30pm on the | 0:08:49 | 0:08:55 | |
#159 of November. The Navy have said
that they detected an abnormal sound | 0:08:55 | 0:09:02 | |
there consistent with an explosion
around the last time the submarine | 0:09:02 | 0:09:07 | |
sent its last signal.
TRANSLATION: We received information | 0:09:07 | 0:09:12 | |
that it was an abnormal, singular,
short, violent and nonnuclear event. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:18 | |
Consistent with an explosion.
Shortly after the announcement, the | 0:09:18 | 0:09:24 | |
body that monitors the explosions,
the Vienna based antinuclear | 0:09:24 | 0:09:31 | |
watchdog, said it too detected the
sound. As we suspect, the relatives | 0:09:31 | 0:09:37 | |
of the crew have reacted angrily to
the news. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:40 | |
I feel cheated. They say it is 3000m
below the sea, so they don't tell us | 0:09:40 | 0:09:47 | |
anything. They are swines. They with
wicked and they knew about this and | 0:09:47 | 0:09:51 | |
they didn't tell us. They are
wicked. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:54 | |
43 of the crew are men, one woman.
This 35-year-old female officer is | 0:09:54 | 0:10:01 | |
the first in Argentina to serve in a
submarine. The ships and rescue | 0:10:01 | 0:10:10 | |
mission from the UK, France, Germany
and the US are involved in the | 0:10:10 | 0:10:14 | |
search. The weather has rough. It
was feared that oxygen supplies | 0:10:14 | 0:10:21 | |
would reach critical levels on day
seven, we have not got to day eight. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:30 | |
Our reporter is in Buenos Aires, she
has been giving more reaction from | 0:10:30 | 0:10:35 | |
the members family members of the
crew. | 0:10:35 | 0:10:38 | |
There are other family members, we
have heard, they recognise that the | 0:10:38 | 0:10:44 | |
Navy were in a difficult position
and that they also gave as much | 0:10:44 | 0:10:49 | |
information that they knew. So there
is general frustration. There was | 0:10:49 | 0:10:53 | |
false hope. With news coming out,
many times filtered by the press, | 0:10:53 | 0:10:59 | |
talking about at one point about
seven calls that could have been | 0:10:59 | 0:11:03 | |
coming from the submarine. They
spoke about noises... That was | 0:11:03 | 0:11:08 | |
discarded. So a lot of false hope.
So it is natural that now they are | 0:11:08 | 0:11:13 | |
talking about a noise consistent
with an explosion, family members | 0:11:13 | 0:11:17 | |
have, many of them, they have lost
hope. We are talking about day | 0:11:17 | 0:11:20 | |
eight. Do you have the sense that is
across Argentina people are counting | 0:11:20 | 0:11:25 | |
and losing hope? I would say that is
the case until yesterday. The main | 0:11:25 | 0:11:31 | |
concern was the ex-gone yesterday.
Since this morning, and even since | 0:11:31 | 0:11:36 | |
last night they spoke about
hydroacoustic anomaly, this noise | 0:11:36 | 0:11:46 | |
and today the second report
confirmed from Austria, talking | 0:11:46 | 0:11:53 | |
about an anomaly consistent with an
explosion, I think a lot of people | 0:11:53 | 0:11:57 | |
have lost hope. Now a lot of the
effort is finding where the | 0:11:57 | 0:12:00 | |
submarine is. But there is a general
sense that the possibility of | 0:12:00 | 0:12:04 | |
finding these crew alive is very,
very slim. | 0:12:04 | 0:12:08 | |
And we got that update from Veronica
Smigg. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:15 | |
Myanmar and Bangladesh signed an
agreement that could help Rohingya | 0:12:15 | 0:12:23 | |
refugees to go home.
Aung Sang Suu Kyi is shaking hands | 0:12:23 | 0:12:33 | |
here to sign a deal. Many of the
refugees are at Cox's Bazar. It's | 0:12:33 | 0:12:39 | |
100,000, a lot of people to
re-patriate. This is drone footage, | 0:12:39 | 0:12:46 | |
showing how far the make shift
refugee camp spreads out. | 0:12:46 | 0:12:54 | |
The army says that the August
crackdown were for attacks by | 0:12:54 | 0:13:01 | |
Rohingya militants. There has been
mounting international pressure on | 0:13:01 | 0:13:05 | |
Myanmar. As we told you, the crisis
is being termed ethnic cleansing by | 0:13:05 | 0:13:11 | |
the UN and the US. This is an
important point for us from the | 0:13:11 | 0:13:19 | |
Burma correspondent for the BBC: And
we have another angle from Akbar, | 0:13:19 | 0:13:33 | |
who is in the Bangladeshi capital,
Dhaka. | 0:13:33 | 0:13:37 | |
This is crucial. Originally Myanmar
was reluctant to sign this kind of | 0:13:37 | 0:13:42 | |
deal. After signing the deal, the
Bangladeshi Foreign Minister told us | 0:13:42 | 0:13:48 | |
that the repatriation process is to
start after two months. But mainly | 0:13:48 | 0:13:52 | |
the Bangladeshi are sceptical about
the deal. They think that Myanmar | 0:13:52 | 0:13:57 | |
signed the deal just to minimise
international pressure on them. And | 0:13:57 | 0:14:02 | |
they believe that this is on the
part of Myanmar to decrease pressure | 0:14:02 | 0:14:08 | |
as the deal, it says something about
when the process starts but did not | 0:14:08 | 0:14:13 | |
mention about when it will end. It
is open. There is no time frame. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:24 | |
There was no a deal in 1992, and
then Myanmar did not comply. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:35 | |
Many Rohingyas have left and come to
Bangladesh and Myanmar was unwilling | 0:14:35 | 0:14:39 | |
to take them back.
Bangladesh would like to see the | 0:14:39 | 0:14:46 | |
repatriation as early as possible.
But as far as we understand and | 0:14:46 | 0:14:51 | |
history is concerned it will take a
long time to complete the | 0:14:51 | 0:14:57 | |
repatriation process, even if it
happens at all. | 0:14:57 | 0:15:01 | |
Still to come: Lighting up the
night. Why scientists say that | 0:15:01 | 0:15:06 | |
lighting is having a serious impact
on our environment and our health. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:14 | |
The European Commission has said
that the UK can no longer host the | 0:15:14 | 0:15:19 | |
European Capital of Culture in 2023
because of Brexit. It says it is | 0:15:19 | 0:15:23 | |
only opened to countries in or
applying to be in the European | 0:15:23 | 0:15:28 | |
Union, the European free trade area
or the European Economic Area. Rosie | 0:15:28 | 0:15:33 | |
Millard was to be one of the judges
at that event. | 0:15:33 | 0:15:37 | |
It just seems like the EU are
throwing toys out of a rather large | 0:15:37 | 0:15:43 | |
European shaped pram, frankly.
Saying, well if you don't want to be | 0:15:43 | 0:15:46 | |
part of us you can't have one of our
lovely play things. Which is the | 0:15:46 | 0:15:51 | |
Capital of Culture. These things are
game changers for a city. They | 0:15:51 | 0:15:56 | |
completely change the outcomes for
people living in the cities and the | 0:15:56 | 0:15:59 | |
cities themselves. When Glasgow was
capital tal of culture -- Capital of | 0:15:59 | 0:16:07 | |
Culture it changed the way that the
city looked, it brought in millions | 0:16:07 | 0:16:14 | |
from tourists and investment. It was
remarkable. Liverpool was the same | 0:16:14 | 0:16:18 | |
and the cities want this prize.
You're watching Outsideside Source, | 0:16:18 | 0:16:24 | |
live from the BBC Newsroom. The lead
story: The Argentine Navy say it is | 0:16:24 | 0:16:29 | |
believes there was an explosion in
the South Atlantic at the time that | 0:16:29 | 0:16:33 | |
one of its submarines went missing.
Now here is a developing story for | 0:16:33 | 0:16:39 | |
you after weeks of stand-off. The
police in Papua New Guinea started | 0:16:39 | 0:16:43 | |
to move refugees and asylum seekers
out of a closed detention centre on | 0:16:43 | 0:16:50 | |
Manis Island. 40 people from the
former Australian-run centre have | 0:16:50 | 0:16:55 | |
been be relocated but still 300
others remain. Let's have a look at | 0:16:55 | 0:16:58 | |
the pictures. Here are people inside
the camp. Men protesting there. | 0:16:58 | 0:17:06 | |
Refusing to leave. They feel that
they will not be safe if they leave. | 0:17:06 | 0:17:11 | |
So that's the situation for the men
there. Also, I think we can show you | 0:17:11 | 0:17:16 | |
pictures from inside the camp. It's
a pretty squalid situation. There | 0:17:16 | 0:17:20 | |
are reports that the police attacks
the men and destroyed their | 0:17:20 | 0:17:26 | |
possessions in the raids. And this
is what is happening in Sydney. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:32 | |
Protesters: Bring them here. Taking
a stand against the Manis Island | 0:17:32 | 0:17:37 | |
refugees.
The Australian government said it | 0:17:37 | 0:17:43 | |
had no involvement in the operation.
In mid-2013 Australia struck a deal | 0:17:43 | 0:17:54 | |
with PN G20 hold thousands of the
asylum seekers on the island who had | 0:17:54 | 0:17:58 | |
been attempting to reach the island
by boat. They were forced to shut | 0:17:58 | 0:18:03 | |
down the centre when a PNG court
ruled it unconstitutional. Here, | 0:18:03 | 0:18:13 | |
Malcolm Turnbull is talking about
the position. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:17 | |
I think that they think that they
can pressure us to let them to come | 0:18:17 | 0:18:21 | |
to Australia. I want to be clear.
Our border security, the integrity | 0:18:21 | 0:18:27 | |
of our borders is maintained by my
government. It is maintained by my | 0:18:27 | 0:18:31 | |
government and we will not outsource
our migration policy to people | 0:18:31 | 0:18:36 | |
smugglers.
It looks like the pressure is to | 0:18:36 | 0:18:39 | |
keep coming. A tweet from the
Australian Refugee Council here, | 0:18:39 | 0:18:45 | |
saying: People are still very scared
there. It says the men are calling | 0:18:45 | 0:18:57 | |
and e-mailing, the men responsible
for providing them to safety, Peter | 0:18:57 | 0:19:07 | |
Turnbull.
And more from Wendy Carlisle... And | 0:19:07 | 0:19:15 | |
this is somebody inside the camp.
Behrouz Boochani, he is a refugee | 0:19:15 | 0:19:22 | |
and reporter.
He is saying that the police beat up | 0:19:22 | 0:19:26 | |
some of the refugees and forced them
to the new prison camp. He has met | 0:19:26 | 0:19:30 | |
some who are injured. And the bigger
picture from John Donison, he was | 0:19:30 | 0:19:37 | |
there when the controversial policy
was brought. In | 0:19:37 | 0:19:42 | |
In Australia, there are broad by
partisan support at least among the | 0:19:42 | 0:19:47 | |
politicians force the policy.
Malcolm Turnbull, Amber Rudd, that | 0:19:47 | 0:19:52 | |
say it has worked. That they were
doing this to stop people smugglers | 0:19:52 | 0:19:59 | |
targeting Australia and thousands of
people, hundreds of people were | 0:19:59 | 0:20:02 | |
dying at sea trying to reach
Australia -- Kevin Rudd. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:12 | |
And at the same time it has been bad
for Australia's reputation in terms | 0:20:12 | 0:20:17 | |
of human rights. Now to OS business.
A couple of stories for you. The | 0:20:17 | 0:20:24 | |
Zimbabwe stock market has taken a
tumble, following the political | 0:20:24 | 0:20:28 | |
upheaval and a big figure. $6
billion has been wiped off the value | 0:20:28 | 0:20:33 | |
of shares. The main index slumping
by 40%. Now this could be because in | 0:20:33 | 0:20:39 | |
Zimbabwe, the stock market was seen
as pretty much the only safe haven. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:44 | |
The collapse in share price shows
that investors are more broadly | 0:20:44 | 0:20:49 | |
optimistic now about the future.
We have immediate concerns with | 0:20:49 | 0:20:55 | |
currency, certainliy about the
currency we are to use. We have | 0:20:55 | 0:20:59 | |
concerns about spending. Are we
going to cull the Services in order | 0:20:59 | 0:21:08 | |
to be in line. At the moment our
expenditure in government is over | 0:21:08 | 0:21:13 | |
90% of what we receive. We have a
current account deficit of $.17 | 0:21:13 | 0:21:19 | |
billion. Are we able to get debt,
inflows, from the diaspora, or | 0:21:19 | 0:21:28 | |
inflows to cover that. The stock
market was a safe haven. People | 0:21:28 | 0:21:35 | |
repivoted to assets and in this
case, people are repivoting towards | 0:21:35 | 0:21:39 | |
cash. Looking to redeploy the
capital into productive industries | 0:21:39 | 0:21:44 | |
such as mining, agriculture and
tourism. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:48 | |
And Brazil, one of the world's
bickest markets for ride sharing | 0:21:48 | 0:21:53 | |
apps like Uber. Those targeting
women only are taking off fast. | 0:21:53 | 0:22:07 | |
art fish light in our world is
growing each year. A study of | 0:23:31 | 0:23:36 | |
satellite images found an increase
of 2%, over four years. A clear | 0:23:36 | 0:23:41 | |
example is in India. If we show you,
this is 2012, this is 2016, clearly | 0:23:41 | 0:23:47 | |
a lot more light there. We spotted
quite a strong example in Egypt, | 0:23:47 | 0:23:52 | |
along the River Nile, by night, in
fact, the river is still clearly | 0:23:52 | 0:23:57 | |
visible because of the light along
itself banks. Victoria Gill has | 0:23:57 | 0:24:02 | |
more. | 0:24:02 | 0:24:06 | |
As the sun goes down
on towns and cities, | 0:24:06 | 0:24:09 | |
the lights go on. | 0:24:09 | 0:24:10 | |
And those lights are getting
brighter all the time. | 0:24:10 | 0:24:12 | |
These images, gathered by a sensor
on a NASA satellite show that more | 0:24:12 | 0:24:15 | |
and more of our planet
is now artificially lit. | 0:24:15 | 0:24:23 | |
I remember when I was a Grand
student, seeing the pictures of | 0:24:23 | 0:24:28 | |
Earth at night, and being astounded
by how beautiful they were. But this | 0:24:28 | 0:24:32 | |
is a change to the bio sphere and it
costs a huge amount of money. So it | 0:24:32 | 0:24:37 | |
is a real problem. | 0:24:37 | 0:24:38 | |
So it is a real problem. | 0:24:38 | 0:24:40 | |
In developing nations, including
India, the increase was dramatic. | 0:24:40 | 0:24:42 | |
From this in 2012 to this in 2016. | 0:24:42 | 0:24:44 | |
The researchers expected that most
developed nations would actually | 0:24:44 | 0:24:47 | |
darken as they changed the type
of street lighting they use | 0:24:47 | 0:24:50 | |
from older orange glaring lamps
to more energy-efficient LED bulbs. | 0:24:50 | 0:24:52 | |
But that hasn't happened. | 0:24:52 | 0:24:57 | |
Urban bright spots in the UK
and other nations in Europe continue | 0:24:57 | 0:25:00 | |
to glow even more intensely as towns
and cities increased | 0:25:00 | 0:25:02 | |
their outdoor lighting. | 0:25:03 | 0:25:06 | |
That orangey glow in the sky
above the city is all too familiar | 0:25:06 | 0:25:09 | |
to so many of us. | 0:25:09 | 0:25:12 | |
It stops many of us from seeing
a natural night sky. | 0:25:12 | 0:25:15 | |
It also has an impact on our health. | 0:25:15 | 0:25:18 | |
Night-time light can
interrupt our sleep patterns. | 0:25:18 | 0:25:20 | |
In the environment, it can disrupt
cues that nocturnal animals | 0:25:20 | 0:25:23 | |
like bats rely on. | 0:25:23 | 0:25:33 | |
It has even been found to shift some
fundamental seasonal clockwork, | 0:25:33 | 0:25:36 | |
influencing the timing of plant
flowering and bird migration. | 0:25:36 | 0:25:38 | |
Scientists say that images
like these are evidence | 0:25:38 | 0:25:41 | |
we are losing our
natural night-time. | 0:25:41 | 0:25:51 | |

A short time ago, there were six
flood warnings on rivers over | 0:26:10 | 0:26:15 | |
north-west England. It has been a
drier day for those areas affected | 0:26:15 | 0:26:19 | |
by the rain. We have had some
sunshine but there is water on the | 0:26:19 | 0:26:25 | |
roads and the fields. Showers at the
moment but not so many in Cumbria | 0:26:25 | 0:26:30 | |
and Lancashire. More in the north
and the west of Scotland and for | 0:26:30 | 0:26:33 | |
Northern Ireland. Rain in the south
coming in across southern England, | 0:26:33 | 0:26:38 | |
working eastwards. Affecting South
Wales. Keeping the temperatures up | 0:26:38 | 0:26:42 | |
here, in the north getting colder
with clearer skies. A up to of frost | 0:26:42 | 0:26:46 | |
in rural areas. There could be icy
roads around where we keep the | 0:26:46 | 0:26:50 | |
showers going into the morning. So
northern Scotland, Western Scotland | 0:26:50 | 0:26:54 | |
and snow in those and across the
north of Northern Ireland. The | 0:26:54 | 0:26:59 | |
showers wandering off the Irish Sea
to the north-west of England but | 0:26:59 | 0:27:03 | |
many parts of England and Wales,
tomorrow starting dry and bright. | 0:27:03 | 0:27:07 | |
Cloud in the south and the
south-east one or two mist and fog | 0:27:07 | 0:27:12 | |
patches after the overnight rain
clears. | 0:27:12 | 0:27:16 | |
Still the showers wandering through
the Channels that could push inland | 0:27:16 | 0:27:20 | |
but few showers for England and
Wales. Showers in the west of | 0:27:20 | 0:27:23 | |
Scotland and the north of Northern
Ireland, as you can see, a fair bit | 0:27:23 | 0:27:27 | |
of sunshine outside of the showers.
It will feel cold. Not so much | 0:27:27 | 0:27:31 | |
because it is going to be windy,
that is light but it is cold air, so | 0:27:31 | 0:27:37 | |
the temperatures lower than today it
will be cold this weekend. The wind | 0:27:37 | 0:27:41 | |
is picking up again. There is frost
overnight with spells of sunshine | 0:27:41 | 0:27:46 | |
around and wintry showers. The
showers likely over the north and | 0:27:46 | 0:27:51 | |
the west of the UK, so south and
east dry and sunny but the winds | 0:27:51 | 0:27:58 | |
freshening all the while so feeling
cold. These are the temperatures | 0:27:58 | 0:28:03 | |
again: Four Celsius in Glasgow,
seven Celsius in London. It stays | 0:28:03 | 0:28:08 | |
cold overnight. We have the area of
high pressure killing off the | 0:28:08 | 0:28:12 | |
showers. At the same time a weather
system from the Atlantic, impacting | 0:28:12 | 0:28:23 | |
in the north of the UK. Not so many
showers on Sunday. Most in the east | 0:28:23 | 0:28:26 | |
this time. | 0:28:26 | 0:29:36 | |

Be hundreds and thousands refugees | 0:30:27 | 0:30:35 | |
repatriated back to Myanmar feel it
is safe to get home. | 0:30:35 | 0:30:41 | |
Welcome back. The | 0:30:55 | 0:31:08 | |
plight of Rohingya Muslims is
ongoing. | 0:31:11 | 0:31:26 | |
A mass of humanity has made its home
here, a city made up | 0:31:26 | 0:31:29 | |
entirely of people who fled. | 0:31:30 | 0:31:31 | |
They arrive with stories
of being shot at and raped | 0:31:31 | 0:31:33 | |
and their children being killed. | 0:31:33 | 0:31:34 | |
Would they, could they
return to Myanmar? | 0:31:34 | 0:31:38 | |
TRANSLATION: We won't go back. | 0:31:38 | 0:31:41 | |
We were brutally tortured. | 0:31:41 | 0:31:46 | |
Young men were put in prison
and houses were set on fire. | 0:31:46 | 0:31:56 | |
Rashida and her husband lost
a son when they escaped. | 0:32:03 | 0:32:05 | |
Here, at his grave,
Rashida breaks down. | 0:32:05 | 0:32:07 | |
We saw her with her
son two months ago. | 0:32:07 | 0:32:09 | |
The 15-year-old had
trodden on a landmine laid | 0:32:09 | 0:32:11 | |
in Myanmar at the border
where they cross to Bangladesh. | 0:32:11 | 0:32:16 | |
Two days after these pictures
were filmed, he died. | 0:32:16 | 0:32:21 | |
Then, she told us, she could not
bear even to say the word Myanmar. | 0:32:21 | 0:32:24 | |
Here, in the cramped shelter
she shares with her husband and six | 0:32:24 | 0:32:27 | |
other family members,
Rashida says she will not return. | 0:32:27 | 0:32:34 | |
TRANSLATION: Our hearts
were broken in Myanmar. | 0:32:34 | 0:32:36 | |
What does pain mean? | 0:32:36 | 0:32:44 | |
I had two sons injured in Myanmar. | 0:32:44 | 0:32:46 | |
Will we get peace there? | 0:32:46 | 0:32:47 | |
If everybody goes back, we will. | 0:32:47 | 0:32:48 | |
But our hearts don't
tell us to go back. | 0:32:48 | 0:32:51 | |
They don't, they don't. | 0:32:51 | 0:32:55 | |
But according to the agreement
between Bangladesh and Myanmar, | 0:32:55 | 0:33:05 | |
some of these people could start
to return in just two months' time. | 0:33:05 | 0:33:08 | |
Yet there are no details of how
their safety will be guaranteed, | 0:33:08 | 0:33:12 | |
nor of any international monitoring,
making observers cautious. | 0:33:12 | 0:33:14 | |
One thing is for sure,
for refugees to be able | 0:33:14 | 0:33:16 | |
to exercise their fundamental right
to return home, the conditions that | 0:33:16 | 0:33:19 | |
made them flee in the first place
need to be meaningfully addressed. | 0:33:19 | 0:33:26 | |
Refugees need to be able to decide
voluntarily to return in a safe | 0:33:26 | 0:33:29 | |
and dignified manner. | 0:33:29 | 0:33:30 | |
Bangladesh has been under
immense strain with this | 0:33:30 | 0:33:32 | |
huge influx of refugees,
so it is understandably keen to find | 0:33:32 | 0:33:34 | |
a deal for their return. | 0:33:34 | 0:33:38 | |
Myanmar's motives are less clear,
but the country will be under | 0:33:38 | 0:33:45 | |
the spotlight next week with a visit
from the Pope. | 0:33:45 | 0:33:47 | |
Without cast-iron guarantees
for the Rohingyas' safety, | 0:33:47 | 0:33:50 | |
many will have serious doubts
about today's announcement. | 0:33:50 | 0:33:52 | |
Reeta Chakrabarti, BBC News,
Cox's Bazaar in Bangladesh. | 0:33:52 | 0:33:59 | |
In a new era for Zimbabwe begins on
Friday. | 0:33:59 | 0:34:11 | |
Emmerson Mnangagwa,
who is due to be sworn | 0:34:11 | 0:34:13 | |
in as Zimbabwe's president tomorrow,
has warned people not to engage | 0:34:13 | 0:34:15 | |
in acts of vengeful retribution. | 0:34:16 | 0:34:17 | |
In a statement,
he said he was working | 0:34:17 | 0:34:19 | |
on transitional arrangements. | 0:34:19 | 0:34:20 | |
Zimbabwe's main industrial index has
slumped by forty percent since last | 0:34:20 | 0:34:22 | |
week's military intervention. | 0:34:22 | 0:34:23 | |
He is expected to be present at
being chilly the inauguration of the | 0:34:23 | 0:34:30 | |
man succeeding him. He has also been
granted immunity from prosecution | 0:34:30 | 0:34:35 | |
from South Africa. | 0:34:35 | 0:34:37 | |
We will get the rationale behind the
decision to include Mr Mugabe in | 0:34:51 | 0:34:58 | |
Friday's ceremony. In African
culture, elders, regardless of the | 0:34:58 | 0:35:02 | |
circumstance, are held in high
regard. Take the analogy can that | 0:35:02 | 0:35:08 | |
with Robert Mugabe, who he has been.
He helped to bring independence to | 0:35:08 | 0:35:13 | |
Zimbabwe in 1980. That still has a
resonance. You have mixed emotions | 0:35:13 | 0:35:18 | |
about what should happen. At the top
of people's mind, this is a | 0:35:18 | 0:35:25 | |
93-year-old statesman, in the end,
what can you do to 93-year-old man? | 0:35:25 | 0:35:32 | |
After the inauguration, many people
in Zimbabwe expects prospects to | 0:35:32 | 0:35:35 | |
improve. The new president says
there will be more jobs. People | 0:35:35 | 0:35:41 | |
expect a fresh start. From this
point of view, it is going to | 0:35:41 | 0:35:47 | |
correct all the runs we have been
done. We have jobs, our children to | 0:35:47 | 0:35:55 | |
have jobs. A very big problem for
our country. I am expecting | 0:35:55 | 0:36:03 | |
promising things that are going to
happen. Employment. Unity. | 0:36:03 | 0:36:10 | |
Everything. I don't know the
arrangement. We wait for tomorrow | 0:36:10 | 0:36:13 | |
and the inauguration. The
International monetary fund warned | 0:36:13 | 0:36:18 | |
in Zimbabwe's economic situation
remains difficult. The chairman of | 0:36:18 | 0:36:23 | |
the country's small and medium
enterprise Association says the new | 0:36:23 | 0:36:28 | |
president has to get the ground
running to start the process of | 0:36:28 | 0:36:31 | |
turning Zimbabwe's economic fortunes
around. A lot of expectations. We | 0:36:31 | 0:36:37 | |
have had problems in the past. They
have gone on result. Cash shortages, | 0:36:37 | 0:36:43 | |
shortages of foreign currency. Also
the general business environment has | 0:36:43 | 0:36:48 | |
been very unfriendly. Things like
police harassment, authorities. | 0:36:48 | 0:36:52 | |
Corruption. The tax regime is not
very friendly. Violation of property | 0:36:52 | 0:37:00 | |
rights. So on and so forth. A long
list. Labour not very friendly. A | 0:37:00 | 0:37:09 | |
lot of things I would say people are
expecting to get this dailly-macro | 0:37:09 | 0:37:13 | |
fixed now Mugabe has gone. So | 0:37:13 | 0:37:23 | |
There's some good news
for coffee drinkers. | 0:37:23 | 0:37:24 | |
A review published in
the British Medical Journal suggests | 0:37:24 | 0:37:26 | |
drinking three or four cups a day
may lower the risk of liver disease, | 0:37:26 | 0:37:30 | |
some cancers and the likelihood
of developing heart problems. | 0:37:30 | 0:37:32 | |
However, public health experts say
there is still uncertainty | 0:37:32 | 0:37:34 | |
about the impact of drinking
more than that. | 0:37:34 | 0:37:36 | |
Sima Kotecha reports
from Birmingham. | 0:37:36 | 0:37:43 | |
this | 0:37:43 | 0:37:43 | |
An espresso, a cappuccino
or just instant. | 0:37:43 | 0:37:45 | |
More than 50 million cups of coffee
are drunk every day here in the UK | 0:37:45 | 0:37:49 | |
and today there's another
debate about whether it's | 0:37:49 | 0:37:50 | |
good or bad for you. | 0:37:50 | 0:37:51 | |
It's after a review has suggested
drinking moderate amounts of coffee | 0:37:51 | 0:37:54 | |
is more likely to benefit health
than cause it harm. | 0:37:54 | 0:37:57 | |
I think I enjoy the smell of it
mostly, which makes me sort of feel | 0:37:57 | 0:38:00 | |
- especially when you're
in a country like | 0:38:00 | 0:38:02 | |
Italy or something, | 0:38:02 | 0:38:03 | |
waking up in the morning smelling
coffee, it just makes me, | 0:38:03 | 0:38:06 | |
I don't know, I really love it. | 0:38:06 | 0:38:16 | |
I think it's probably
a placebo effect. | 0:38:20 | 0:38:22 | |
You feel sort of energised
by having drunk it. | 0:38:22 | 0:38:24 | |
It gives me a bit of a kick
is the main thing and, | 0:38:24 | 0:38:27 | |
from different blends,
you can slightly taste | 0:38:27 | 0:38:29 | |
different things. | 0:38:29 | 0:38:30 | |
Sometimes they're chocolatey,
sometimes they're fruity. | 0:38:30 | 0:38:32 | |
The University of Southampton went
through 200 studies looking at how | 0:38:32 | 0:38:34 | |
coffee affects the body
and concluded three or four cups | 0:38:34 | 0:38:37 | |
of it a day could lead to a lower
risk of developing health problems. | 0:38:37 | 0:38:40 | |
However, it also said too much of it
while pregnant can be dangerous. | 0:38:40 | 0:38:43 | |
In some cases, a small amount
of coffee can cause anxiety, | 0:38:43 | 0:38:46 | |
and there are studies that suggest
children, adolescents | 0:38:46 | 0:38:48 | |
and the elderly are particularly
vulnerable to the adverse | 0:38:48 | 0:38:50 | |
effects of caffeine. | 0:38:50 | 0:38:51 | |
It gives me kind of... | 0:38:51 | 0:38:52 | |
It brings my anxiety
levels up a bit. | 0:38:52 | 0:38:54 | |
My gears are always grinding
and I think sometimes I can | 0:38:54 | 0:38:57 | |
have a caffeine overload,
so I try to stay away from it | 0:38:57 | 0:38:59 | |
as much as when I was younger
when I worked in construction. | 0:38:59 | 0:39:02 | |
I was drinking it, you know,
nonstop all the time. | 0:39:02 | 0:39:05 | |
Critics say the finding of this
particular review could be skewed | 0:39:05 | 0:39:07 | |
because those evaluated may have
been healthy before | 0:39:07 | 0:39:09 | |
starting to drink coffee. | 0:39:09 | 0:39:15 | |
I tend to ignore this kind of advice
because from one day to the next it | 0:39:15 | 0:39:19 | |
tends to differ, so I wouldn't be
surprised if in a week or two we got | 0:39:19 | 0:39:23 | |
some other report saying that coffee
is bad for you after all. | 0:39:23 | 0:39:26 | |
But I guess everything
in moderation. | 0:39:26 | 0:39:27 | |
Researchers are now calling
for rigorous clinical trials | 0:39:27 | 0:39:29 | |
to explore the drink's effects. | 0:39:29 | 0:39:30 | |
And a last bit of advice
from them - opt for milk | 0:39:30 | 0:39:33 | |
with your coffee rather than cream. | 0:39:33 | 0:39:34 | |

you can get much more detail on all
the top stories on our website. Keep | 0:39:50 | 0:39:55 | |
up to date with the latest news on
the missing Argentine submarine. | 0:39:55 | 0:40:00 | |
International air and sea hunt
continuing in the South Atlantic for | 0:40:00 | 0:40:02 | |
the submarine on the coast of
Patagonia. Our lead story, the | 0:40:02 | 0:40:18 | |
International air and sea hunt
continues in the South Atlantic for | 0:40:18 | 0:40:20 | |
the missing submarine. The Argentine
navy says they believed there was an | 0:40:20 | 0:40:26 | |
explosion in the South Atlantic at
the time it went missing. Some of | 0:40:26 | 0:40:30 | |
our other stories from around the
BBC. In Guinea, two teenagers died | 0:40:30 | 0:40:36 | |
in separate clashes between police
and student protest is in the | 0:40:36 | 0:40:39 | |
capital. Students are angry about
the teachers strike which closed | 0:40:39 | 0:40:43 | |
public for days. They won the
teachers to get the pay increase | 0:40:43 | 0:40:49 | |
they were promised so everyone can
get back to school. A Finnish bakery | 0:40:49 | 0:40:53 | |
has introduced the world's first
insect -based bread. In addition to | 0:40:53 | 0:40:59 | |
flour, water and yeast, there are 70
five on the ground house crickets in | 0:40:59 | 0:41:05 | |
every low. -- every low. | 0:41:05 | 0:41:13 | |
Outrage after video showed African
slaves being sold for as little as | 0:41:13 | 0:41:20 | |
$400 in Libya. Rwanda has stepped
into how is 400 people. Ivory Coast | 0:41:20 | 0:41:30 | |
in Cameroon have been repatriating
some citizens who made the journey | 0:41:30 | 0:41:33 | |
to Libya. | 0:41:33 | 0:41:43 | |
The Sahara desert may seem lifeless,
but thousands but is the source of a | 0:41:43 | 0:41:49 | |
new life. Many are heading to Libya
to go to Europe. But the reality is | 0:41:49 | 0:41:54 | |
many are in worse conditions than
those left behind. Human traffickers | 0:41:54 | 0:41:58 | |
sell people for work. And as sex
slaves. The chances of reaching | 0:41:58 | 0:42:02 | |
Europe are increasingly slim. The
continent is losing its patients | 0:42:02 | 0:42:07 | |
with migrants arriving at its
shores. Libya is now being helped to | 0:42:07 | 0:42:12 | |
block leaving the country. Some are
choosing to go back home instead. | 0:42:12 | 0:42:22 | |
Around 50 Ivorian 's and Cameroon
National 's have been repatriated. | 0:42:22 | 0:42:31 | |
There are tales of slavery, rape and
beatings in Libya. As soon as you | 0:42:31 | 0:42:40 | |
arrive in Libya, the first thing
happening, you are taken away | 0:42:40 | 0:42:42 | |
unsold. Our black brothers from West
Africa, wherever you are from. Mali, | 0:42:42 | 0:42:50 | |
Senegal, any other nationality from
the West. You are sold for what, for | 0:42:50 | 0:42:55 | |
about 1000 dinars. TRANSLATION: When
I was going to Libya, when fruit | 0:42:55 | 0:43:05 | |
Mali, Algeria, I arrived in Libya. I
can tell you, Libya is hell. I don't | 0:43:05 | 0:43:10 | |
encourage anyone from the Ivory
Coast to go to this place. It is | 0:43:10 | 0:43:14 | |
hell. We have lost brothers and
sisters. I advise everyone not to go | 0:43:14 | 0:43:18 | |
there. Nearly 200,000 African
migrants pass through Libya last | 0:43:18 | 0:43:26 | |
year. Mostly from Nigeria, Ivory
Coast, and the Gambia in west | 0:43:26 | 0:43:31 | |
Africa. Eritrea and Somalia in East
Africa. The government of Rwanda | 0:43:31 | 0:43:39 | |
says it is willing to take in 30,000
migrants stranded in Libya. It says | 0:43:39 | 0:43:45 | |
its own history of genocide means it
cannot stay silent. Rwanda is a | 0:43:45 | 0:43:50 | |
small country. Thousands more will
remain trapped in Libya. These | 0:43:50 | 0:43:56 | |
people may have escaped the horrors
they experienced in Libya. Thousands | 0:43:56 | 0:44:00 | |
more will still make the trip. No
amount of government backed | 0:44:00 | 0:44:04 | |
repatriations will change that.
TRANSLATION: The Ivorian government | 0:44:04 | 0:44:10 | |
condemns is out of date practices
taking place in Libya. It is about | 0:44:10 | 0:44:15 | |
black trade to call it by its name.
It is important the Libyan | 0:44:15 | 0:44:19 | |
authorities take their
responsibility. On a visit to Paris | 0:44:19 | 0:44:22 | |
to meet the French president,
Emmanuel Macron or the chair of the | 0:44:22 | 0:44:27 | |
African union commission said more
needs to be done. TRANSLATION: We | 0:44:27 | 0:44:31 | |
must do something about the crisis
in Libya. The situation in Libya is | 0:44:31 | 0:44:35 | |
unacceptable. Things need to change,
not just a threat to the Libyan | 0:44:35 | 0:44:40 | |
people. The whole continent. Footage
of the slave markets has caused an | 0:44:40 | 0:44:46 | |
outcry across Africa. The United
Nations says the auction should be | 0:44:46 | 0:44:52 | |
investigated as possible crimes
against humanity. It is the annual | 0:44:52 | 0:44:56 | |
African and European Union summit
here next week. This issue will be | 0:44:56 | 0:45:00 | |
what everyone wants to talk about. | 0:45:00 | 0:45:10 | |
On any of our story is even talk to
me and the rest the team at Twitter. | 0:45:10 | 0:45:15 | |
