Hello, I'm Ros Atkins,
this is Outside Source. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:10 | |
Donald Trump's outdone himself. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:13 | |
He's retweeted Far Right
videos that feature fake | 0:00:13 | 0:00:15 | |
claims about Muslims. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:17 | |
We'll be live in Washington. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:19 | |
The UK is offers the EU
up to 50 billion Euros | 0:00:19 | 0:00:22 | |
to settle its financial commitments. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:23 | |
We've all the details
and the reaction. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:30 | |
A couple of months ago the Foreign
Secretary said the EU could go | 0:00:30 | 0:00:34 | |
whistle when those kinds of sums
have been talked about. Here is his | 0:00:34 | 0:00:36 | |
reaction today. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
We've been waiting for this
for a long time, 18 months or so, | 0:00:38 | 0:00:41 | |
now's the time to get
the whole ship off the rocks, | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
and move it forwards. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:45 | |
There were shocking events
earlier during a war | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
crimes trial in the Hague. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:48 | |
After losing his appeal,
a former Bosnian Croat commander | 0:00:48 | 0:00:50 | |
drank poison and later died. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:56 | |
And the UN Security Council
is gathering right now to discuss | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
North Korea's latest missile test. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:00 | |
We'll watch that closely for you. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:10 | |
Let's talk about the President of
America retweeting Far Right videos. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:19 | |
They come from an ultra
nationalist group in the UK. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:24 | |
We're not going show the videos
but they contain disturbing violence | 0:01:24 | 0:01:30 | |
and they make unverified
claims about Muslims. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:32 | |
This group is called Britain First. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:36 | |
And it's pleased. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:41 | |
Britain First was founded 2011. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:44 | |
This is its website. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:48 | |
Among its policies is to "Introduce
a comprehensive ban | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
on the religion of "Islam"
within the United Kingdom." | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
These are the people in charge. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
The group's two leaders have both
been convicted with crimes related | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
to inciting racial hatred. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
Britain First is known
in the UK as a group - | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
but also as a slogan. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
Last year, the MP Jo Cox
was murdered in the street by a man | 0:02:07 | 0:02:11 | |
with links to the far-right. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:12 | |
He shouted "Britain First"
during the attack. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
Jo Cox's husband was Brendan Cox -
and he's spoken today. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:23 | |
I thought it was an horrendous thing
to do. Britain First is a well-known | 0:02:23 | 0:02:29 | |
hate group, it strives hatred
against Muslims and Donald Trump is | 0:02:29 | 0:02:33 | |
the president of our nearest ally,
the fact that he didn't check first, | 0:02:33 | 0:02:37 | |
or didn't even think about the
content of those tweets before doing | 0:02:37 | 0:02:41 | |
it, I think, suggests his judgment
is hugely lacking. There has been | 0:02:41 | 0:02:45 | |
extensive condemnation. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:49 | |
Labour MP David Lammy... | 0:02:49 | 0:02:51 | |
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said... | 0:02:58 | 0:03:03 | |
Theresa May has said... | 0:03:10 | 0:03:11 | |
Here's a different
perspective, though. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:25 | |
This is White House Press Secretary
Sarah Huckabee Sanders | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
defending what most people
think is indefensible. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:34 | |
Whether it is a real video, the
threat is real, and that is what the | 0:03:34 | 0:03:38 | |
president is talking about, that is
what the president is focused on, | 0:03:38 | 0:03:41 | |
dealing with those real threats, and
those are real no matter how you | 0:03:41 | 0:03:44 | |
look at it. So does it matter if it
is a fake video? The threat is real, | 0:03:44 | 0:03:51 | |
and that is what the president is
talking about is the need for | 0:03:51 | 0:03:55 | |
national security, military
spending, and they are very real | 0:03:55 | 0:04:00 | |
things nothing fake about that. That
that says the means justify the | 0:04:00 | 0:04:06 | |
ends. You are putting words in my
mouth, I said that the threat is | 0:04:06 | 0:04:09 | |
real, the threat needs to be
addressed, it has to be talked | 0:04:09 | 0:04:12 | |
about, and that is what the
president is doing in bringing it | 0:04:12 | 0:04:15 | |
up. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:17 | |
What a job Sarah
Huckerbee Sanders has. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:20 | |
It's not about whether the video
is real, she says. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:23 | |
Remember this is from
the administration that frequently | 0:04:23 | 0:04:25 | |
derides accurate reporting as fake. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:26 | |
Anthony Zurcher, Washington. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:31 | |
Anthony, I have mentioned that
Britain First is delighted with the | 0:04:31 | 0:04:35 | |
President's re-tweets. As the far
right in America reacted to this? | 0:04:35 | 0:04:39 | |
Absolutely. I saw a tweet from David
juke, a former head of the Ku Klux | 0:04:39 | 0:04:49 | |
Klan, he treated out that Donald
Trump is showing us what the fake | 0:04:49 | 0:04:54 | |
news media won't. He said thank God
the Trump, that's why we love him. I | 0:04:54 | 0:05:00 | |
don't think very many people here in
the US now Britain First, the white | 0:05:00 | 0:05:07 | |
nationalist groups in Europe, there
are groups here in the US that | 0:05:07 | 0:05:10 | |
follow what is going on in Europe
very closely and they look at what | 0:05:10 | 0:05:15 | |
Donald Trump retweeted today is an
indication that they are not the | 0:05:15 | 0:05:18 | |
only ones following it, the
president himself is paying | 0:05:18 | 0:05:21 | |
attention to what groups like
Britain first saying. In terms of | 0:05:21 | 0:05:26 | |
the controversy around this, if any
president had retweeted this they | 0:05:26 | 0:05:31 | |
would be in deep trouble but the
same rules do not seem to apply to | 0:05:31 | 0:05:34 | |
Donald Trump. They don't. It fits a
pattern. Donald Trump has repeatedly | 0:05:34 | 0:05:41 | |
looked to Europe and the UK, citing
instances of violence as a reason | 0:05:41 | 0:05:48 | |
why the American people should
endorse his aggressive border | 0:05:48 | 0:05:54 | |
control policies, immigration
policies, controls on resettlement | 0:05:54 | 0:05:59 | |
of refugees. I have spoken with a
number of Donald Trump supporters | 0:05:59 | 0:06:03 | |
over the past few months and years,
and they view Europe is having a | 0:06:03 | 0:06:07 | |
problem with immigration. They don't
want the US to end up like Europe in | 0:06:07 | 0:06:11 | |
their mind, and that is what Donald
Trump is serving as well. While | 0:06:11 | 0:06:14 | |
there has been quite a Ferrari in
the UK about this, the president is | 0:06:14 | 0:06:20 | |
not thinking about Europe, he is
thinking about his domestic | 0:06:20 | 0:06:22 | |
audience. He is making the pitch
that his policy prescriptions are | 0:06:22 | 0:06:27 | |
justified, because of what he says
is happening over in Europe and he | 0:06:27 | 0:06:32 | |
points to these videos, real or not,
as evidence, as Sarah Huckabee | 0:06:32 | 0:06:38 | |
Sanders says, that the threat is
real. Listening to her there was | 0:06:38 | 0:06:42 | |
reminding me of Sean Spicer trying
to defend other statements Trump has | 0:06:42 | 0:06:48 | |
made. This is at least evidence that
the president is his own man, this | 0:06:48 | 0:06:52 | |
doesn't look particularly strategic.
I don't think so. That open question | 0:06:52 | 0:07:00 | |
about how Donald Trump decided to
retweet these tweets. He and his | 0:07:00 | 0:07:05 | |
social media director are the only
ones who have control of that. The | 0:07:05 | 0:07:10 | |
White House say they will not talk
about the process behind how Donald | 0:07:10 | 0:07:14 | |
Trump decided to re-tweeted this.
But again, this is not the first | 0:07:14 | 0:07:18 | |
time Donald Trump has retweeted
controversial things. He retweeted | 0:07:18 | 0:07:22 | |
an account called white genocide TM
several times, Woods has links to | 0:07:22 | 0:07:31 | |
anti-Semitic groups was he has
retweeted an image of Hillary | 0:07:31 | 0:07:34 | |
Clinton superimposed on a field of
dollars with a star of David | 0:07:34 | 0:07:38 | |
honoured, with the words, most
corrupt politician ever. He has a | 0:07:38 | 0:07:43 | |
tendency also to send a message in
his retweets that has been | 0:07:43 | 0:07:47 | |
considered very controversial. Thank
you very much indeed. Another | 0:07:47 | 0:07:52 | |
controversial story, the BBC
understands the UK may be ready to | 0:07:52 | 0:07:54 | |
pay between 40 and 50 billion euros
in order to settle its responsible | 0:07:54 | 0:08:01 | |
it is to the European Union. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:09 | |
The money will cover things like
budget commitments and pensions. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:12 | |
The UK had offered 20bn
when Theresa May made this speech | 0:08:12 | 0:08:14 | |
in Florence in September. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:17 | |
Still, I do not want our partners to
fear that they will need to pay more | 0:08:17 | 0:08:22 | |
or receive less over the remainder
of the current budget plan as a | 0:08:22 | 0:08:27 | |
result of the decision to leave. The
UK will honour commitments to what | 0:08:27 | 0:08:32 | |
we have made in the period of
membership. This is another clip, | 0:08:32 | 0:08:36 | |
the UK Secretary Boris Johnson on
the idea might be handed over to the | 0:08:36 | 0:08:45 | |
EU. The sums I have seen that they
propose to demand from this country | 0:08:45 | 0:08:50 | |
seem to me to be extortionate, and I
think to go whistle is an entirely | 0:08:50 | 0:08:55 | |
appropriate expression. The cost of
go whistling appears to be 40 to 50 | 0:08:55 | 0:08:59 | |
billion euros will the | 0:08:59 | 0:09:10 | |
let's here is Boris Johnson again
today. We have been waiting for this | 0:09:15 | 0:09:20 | |
for a long time, 18 months or so.
Now is the moment to get the whole | 0:09:20 | 0:09:26 | |
ship off the rocks and move
forwards. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:31 | |
Next - here's the reaction
of Michel Barnier who's the EU's | 0:09:31 | 0:09:33 | |
lead Brexit negotiator. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:37 | |
Do you welcome Britain's decision to
pay more? We are still working. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:46 | |
Remember though even if
this bill is agreed, | 0:09:46 | 0:09:48 | |
citizens rights
and the Irish border. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:52 | |
Here's Damian Gramaticas
in Brussels. | 0:09:52 | 0:09:59 | |
What the EU side now want to do is
to nail down some of those issues. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:03 | |
The deadline is Monday next week
when Theresa May is due here in | 0:10:03 | 0:10:09 | |
Brussels for lunch with Jean-Claude
Juncker. On the financial side what | 0:10:09 | 0:10:12 | |
they are looking for the broad areas
of the commitments that the UK will | 0:10:12 | 0:10:17 | |
meet, what things it will actually
pay for, not a final figure. So that | 0:10:17 | 0:10:23 | |
needs to be sorted, but crucially
too the issue of Ireland still | 0:10:23 | 0:10:27 | |
outstanding, and still very
difficult to see the EU saying how | 0:10:27 | 0:10:32 | |
will the UK resolve contradictions
in its position? It wants to leave | 0:10:32 | 0:10:36 | |
the single market, the customs
union, but have no border controls | 0:10:36 | 0:10:42 | |
between Northern Ireland and the
Republic of Ireland. The EU says | 0:10:42 | 0:10:45 | |
that is impossible, how is the UK
proposing to get over that issue? | 0:10:45 | 0:10:50 | |
The other problem of course for
citizens who will be left on the two | 0:10:50 | 0:10:53 | |
sides, and which courts will the
European courts be able to oversee | 0:10:53 | 0:10:58 | |
the guarantee of their rights? Those
things also have to be agreed, and | 0:10:58 | 0:11:02 | |
then any agreement has to be put to
the EU leaders of the 27 other | 0:11:02 | 0:11:09 | |
countries before they can sign off
on it, so still some way of signing | 0:11:09 | 0:11:12 | |
off on this. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:14 | |
In the UK, there's been
a mixed reaction to this | 0:11:14 | 0:11:16 | |
deal from eurosceptics. | 0:11:16 | 0:11:18 | |
Remember, they all in their
different ways campaigned for Brexit | 0:11:18 | 0:11:21 | |
on the grounds it'd be good
for the UK economy. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:23 | |
It may turn out to be positive,
but clearly this is a big | 0:11:23 | 0:11:26 | |
financial hit up front. | 0:11:26 | 0:11:31 | |
Here are some of the statements we
heard in the House of Commons | 0:11:31 | 0:11:33 | |
earlier. Would the Minister agree
such a move would be betraying the | 0:11:33 | 0:11:40 | |
trust of the British people? She
shouldn't pay more than we owe, but | 0:11:40 | 0:11:44 | |
she should be confident that
whatever that is, it is a bargain | 0:11:44 | 0:11:48 | |
against cost of staying in. Ben
Wright in Westminster, first of all, | 0:11:48 | 0:11:57 | |
let's took about the reaction to
this, it is a delicate line Theresa | 0:11:57 | 0:12:00 | |
May has to walk. So far from sitting
here in the newsroom, she seems to | 0:12:00 | 0:12:04 | |
have Dummett reasonably well. Yes,
partly because there has been a | 0:12:04 | 0:12:09 | |
widespread expectation that the sort
of bill Britain is looking at | 0:12:09 | 0:12:14 | |
amounts to the figures we are
talking today. We are talking tens | 0:12:14 | 0:12:18 | |
of billions of pounds to settle
Britain's financial commitments to | 0:12:18 | 0:12:21 | |
the EU. That number will be haggled
over in the coming months, we're not | 0:12:21 | 0:12:26 | |
there yet, it hasn't been nailed
down, nothing is agreed. The | 0:12:26 | 0:12:29 | |
widespread expectation is that it
was going to be in the ballpark of | 0:12:29 | 0:12:34 | |
perhaps 40 to 50 billion euros cover
certainly far in excess of what | 0:12:34 | 0:12:39 | |
Theresa May was suggesting back in
her Florence speech in September | 0:12:39 | 0:12:41 | |
where we were talking about 20
billion euros. It was clear the EU | 0:12:41 | 0:12:44 | |
was tarting up liabilities, and
gentle projects that the UK owes | 0:12:44 | 0:12:49 | |
money for, far in excess of 20
billion euros. I think it is very | 0:12:49 | 0:12:52 | |
interesting today that we have not
heard angry formulating Brexiteers | 0:12:52 | 0:12:57 | |
in Parliament, livid about this
some, because, as I said, I think | 0:12:57 | 0:13:03 | |
they had been expecting it over the
last few months, but also they think | 0:13:03 | 0:13:06 | |
it is worth the prize, and the prize
is a quick, new trade deal done with | 0:13:06 | 0:13:14 | |
the EU they hope next year before
Britain leaves in March 20 19. The | 0:13:14 | 0:13:19 | |
test will be what they are saying
about the money into three months' | 0:13:19 | 0:13:22 | |
time when we have better sense of
how that second phase of the talks | 0:13:22 | 0:13:26 | |
is progressing. Ben, we always
respond well to deadlines and it | 0:13:26 | 0:13:31 | |
seems to be more of a constant that
we have a couple of big | 0:13:31 | 0:13:34 | |
get-togethers in December, which
seemed to be focusing a lot of | 0:13:34 | 0:13:37 | |
minds. Mines are being focused and
concessions made. There were some in | 0:13:37 | 0:13:42 | |
the UK Government who saw that the
money was the UK's Biglia Bridge in | 0:13:42 | 0:13:47 | |
this negotiation and wanted perhaps
to hold clarity and money back until | 0:13:47 | 0:13:51 | |
the very end. They are having to
concede that now because they are so | 0:13:51 | 0:13:55 | |
keen to get the green light to the
second phase of talks to happen at | 0:13:55 | 0:13:59 | |
that summit in mid-December. Another
concession around the role of the | 0:13:59 | 0:14:03 | |
European Court of Justice, and the
role that will play if a two-year | 0:14:03 | 0:14:08 | |
transition deal is signed off. So
all the time you are seeing | 0:14:08 | 0:14:14 | |
concessions made from the UK in
their hurry to get movement from the | 0:14:14 | 0:14:18 | |
EU and open up that second phase of
talks. Money has been for a long | 0:14:18 | 0:14:22 | |
time one of the big sticking point.
It feels that maybe resolved enough | 0:14:22 | 0:14:28 | |
now to get that sufficient progress
box ticked by the EU. As Damien was | 0:14:28 | 0:14:33 | |
saying, though, perhaps the bigger
walkable jaded issue, and the one | 0:14:33 | 0:14:36 | |
where they may not have reached
sufficient progress yet is that | 0:14:36 | 0:14:40 | |
question about what to do between
the border of Northern Ireland and | 0:14:40 | 0:14:43 | |
the Republic of Ireland, this is a
massive sticking point. UK is | 0:14:43 | 0:14:47 | |
leading the single market, it says
it doesn't a hard border. The EU | 0:14:47 | 0:14:51 | |
wants more than just war of words
and assurances from the UK, they | 0:14:51 | 0:14:55 | |
want to know how the stage of the
negotiation the UK plans to get that | 0:14:55 | 0:14:59 | |
outcome. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:02 | |
Stay with us on Outside Source -
still to come... | 0:15:02 | 0:15:05 | |
We will go back to the US because
there have been two huge shocks, NBC | 0:15:05 | 0:15:11 | |
news anchor has been fired over
sexual misconduct allegations and a | 0:15:11 | 0:15:16 | |
giant of US radio Garrison Keillor
has also been fired. We will find | 0:15:16 | 0:15:19 | |
out about both. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:28 | |
The Duke of Cambridge has said
Prince Harry and his fiancee Meghan | 0:15:28 | 0:15:31 | |
Markle have a lot of happy times
ahead of them as they plan their | 0:15:31 | 0:15:34 | |
wedding. Clarence House announced
the engagement on Monday and the | 0:15:34 | 0:15:37 | |
couple later revealed the proposal
happened over a roast chicken supper | 0:15:37 | 0:15:40 | |
in their Kensington Palace cottage. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:46 | |
The wedding will take place
in St George's Chapel, | 0:15:46 | 0:15:48 | |
Windsor Castle, in May. | 0:15:48 | 0:15:49 | |
Prince William spoke to reporters
during a visit to Finland. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:51 | |
Yes, all very excited, delighted for
them both. And wishing them all the | 0:15:51 | 0:15:56 | |
happiness atmospheric setting time.
For me, personally, I have it means | 0:15:56 | 0:16:00 | |
he stays out of my fridge. It will
stop for the scrounging he has done | 0:16:00 | 0:16:05 | |
for my fridge over the last few
years. We saw them together, and | 0:16:05 | 0:16:11 | |
they looked so much in love.
Absolutely, it is a fantastic | 0:16:11 | 0:16:15 | |
process to go through, the
engagement and the build-up to the | 0:16:15 | 0:16:17 | |
wedding, so they have a lot of happy
times ahead of them. I think they | 0:16:17 | 0:16:21 | |
are both caught up in the moment and
I wish them all the happiness and | 0:16:21 | 0:16:25 | |
success in planning the wedding, I
have it all goes really well. | 0:16:25 | 0:16:31 | |
This is Outside Source live
from the BBC newsroom. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:36 | |
President Trump has been widely
criticised after he shared several | 0:16:36 | 0:16:39 | |
anti-Muslim videos by a far-right
group in the UK | 0:16:39 | 0:16:48 | |
The reconciliation between Hamas and | 0:16:49 | 0:16:56 | |
leading Zimbabwean activist has been
acquitted on charges of trying to | 0:16:59 | 0:17:07 | |
overthrow Robert Mugabe's former
government. The Harare High Court | 0:17:07 | 0:17:10 | |
judge said there was no evidence,
from BBC Africa. This is quite | 0:17:10 | 0:17:14 | |
frankly beyond belief, two skydivers
jumped off a mountain in | 0:17:14 | 0:17:19 | |
Switzerland, and then landed inside
a plane. We are told they practised | 0:17:19 | 0:17:22 | |
as 100 times, but still, it is
seriously impressive, you can find | 0:17:22 | 0:17:27 | |
that in the most watched video on
the BBC news app. It has been a day | 0:17:27 | 0:17:35 | |
of extraordinary shocks in the US
media. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:37 | |
The long-serving NBC News anchor
Matt Lauer has has been fired over | 0:17:37 | 0:17:40 | |
sexual misconduct allegations. | 0:17:40 | 0:17:42 | |
NBC's chairman released the
statement... | 0:17:42 | 0:17:45 | |
In the last hour, Variety has posted
a long and detailed article, | 0:17:59 | 0:18:04 | |
containing accusations from a number
of different women against Matt | 0:18:04 | 0:18:09 | |
Lauer. In any event, the job of
making that decision public fell to | 0:18:09 | 0:18:17 | |
his co-host, Savannah Guthrie. For
the moment all we can say is that we | 0:18:17 | 0:18:20 | |
are heartbroken. Matt is my dear
friend and my partner, and he has | 0:18:20 | 0:18:25 | |
been loved by many people here. And
I am heartbroken for the brave | 0:18:25 | 0:18:30 | |
colleague who came forward to tell
her story, and any other women who | 0:18:30 | 0:18:33 | |
have their own stories to tell. And
we are grappling with a dilemma so | 0:18:33 | 0:18:39 | |
many people have faced these past
few weeks. How do you reconcile your | 0:18:39 | 0:18:42 | |
love for someone with the revelation
that they have behaved badly? And I | 0:18:42 | 0:18:47 | |
don't know the answer to that, but I
do now that this reckoning that so | 0:18:47 | 0:18:52 | |
many organisations have been going
through is important. That is long | 0:18:52 | 0:18:55 | |
over June. And it must result in
workplaces where all women, all | 0:18:55 | 0:19:01 | |
people feel safe and respected. Matt
Lauer not the only big name to be | 0:19:01 | 0:19:08 | |
sacked. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:09 | |
And giant of US radio,
Garrison Keillor, has been fired | 0:19:09 | 0:19:11 | |
by Minnesota Public Radio over
allegations of | 0:19:11 | 0:19:13 | |
inappropriate behaviour. | 0:19:13 | 0:19:19 | |
We had a statement from the
president of MPR... | 0:19:19 | 0:19:24 | |
Let's get some help to jesting all
of this. If you drew up the list of | 0:19:28 | 0:19:35 | |
the big names in US media who have
lost their jobs in recent months, it | 0:19:35 | 0:19:38 | |
is quite something. It is, and
certainly Matt Lauer Dufner loop | 0:19:38 | 0:19:44 | |
tops the bill to appears one of the
most bankable stars in the United | 0:19:44 | 0:19:48 | |
States. He is reported to earn more
than $25 million, the face morning | 0:19:48 | 0:19:53 | |
TV on NBC news. So this was a huge
shock to a lot of people. But it | 0:19:53 | 0:19:59 | |
looks like Vanity fair had been
working on this investigation that | 0:19:59 | 0:20:03 | |
you just mentioned for about two
months. They say that three women | 0:20:03 | 0:20:07 | |
had come forward as part of their
reporting that. The official | 0:20:07 | 0:20:10 | |
statement NBC said one woman had
come forward with an official | 0:20:10 | 0:20:15 | |
complaint but the reason that they
fired Matt Lauer as they believe it | 0:20:15 | 0:20:18 | |
wasn't an isolated incident. This
comes a week after Charlie Rose of | 0:20:18 | 0:20:24 | |
CBS News, another huge name in
broadcasting in the United States | 0:20:24 | 0:20:28 | |
was fired, and you mentioned
Harrison Keillor, a much loved voice | 0:20:28 | 0:20:33 | |
on the American public radio, he has
been on the airwaves for many | 0:20:33 | 0:20:37 | |
decades, also in the last couple of
hours being fired over allegations | 0:20:37 | 0:20:41 | |
of sexual misconduct. And it feels
like a significant balance of power | 0:20:41 | 0:20:47 | |
is occurring here, if some of these
allegations had been made a few | 0:20:47 | 0:20:51 | |
years ago, you suspect it'll might
have kept their jobs. Yes, perhaps, | 0:20:51 | 0:20:55 | |
that is one of the questions being
asked, because in some of these | 0:20:55 | 0:20:59 | |
cases, certainly the rumour mill
here in Washington is that some | 0:20:59 | 0:21:03 | |
people may have suspected some of
these names were responsible for the | 0:21:03 | 0:21:07 | |
alleged activities, and that they
are not surprised. Had the right | 0:21:07 | 0:21:17 | |
procedures been in | 0:21:17 | 0:21:27 | |
place, Savannah Guthrie, just
described it as a reckoning. It | 0:21:33 | 0:21:36 | |
certainly seems that it is a moment
where things are starting to change | 0:21:36 | 0:21:42 | |
will stop of course it is not just
the media. We look at politics, a | 0:21:42 | 0:21:49 | |
representative has resigned from the
House of Representatives at the | 0:21:49 | 0:21:51 | |
weekend. He is being investigated
over allegations of sexual | 0:21:51 | 0:21:58 | |
misconduct, and Al Franken on
allegations of grouping as well. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:03 | |
Thank you. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:08 | |
Now the craziness | 0:22:09 | 0:22:09 | |
going on with it: first of its hit
another record high, one Bitcoin | 0:22:09 | 0:22:14 | |
worth over $11,000. This is a graph
of the year. Here we have the price | 0:22:14 | 0:22:22 | |
now. It has gone up over ten times
just in 11 months. Frankly it is all | 0:22:22 | 0:22:28 | |
over the place, having hit that new
high earlier it is now down below | 0:22:28 | 0:22:32 | |
$10,000. I am not sure what is going
on. Samira is with us in New York. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:37 | |
Tell us what is happening because I
have not got a flu! LAUGHTER | 0:22:37 | 0:22:41 | |
The trick with Bitcoin is that it is
actually traded on multiple | 0:22:41 | 0:22:48 | |
different platforms, so depending on
which platform you are looking at, | 0:22:48 | 0:22:51 | |
some exchanges can have Bitcoin
trading somewhat higher and others | 0:22:51 | 0:22:56 | |
can have it trading somewhat lower.
So that is why you are seeing a lot | 0:22:56 | 0:23:00 | |
of this kind of discrepancy, and
additionally where you are seeing so | 0:23:00 | 0:23:06 | |
much volatility with regards to the
pricing of Bitcoin. Now the question | 0:23:06 | 0:23:11 | |
is why are people buying up so much
of this Bitcoin? The way I have been | 0:23:11 | 0:23:15 | |
expending it over the last few days,
and you can quote me on this, it is | 0:23:15 | 0:23:23 | |
investor FOMO. Investors are just so
afraid of missing out on the next | 0:23:23 | 0:23:28 | |
big thing, and there is just so much
capital sloshing around that there | 0:23:28 | 0:23:31 | |
is money available to invest in
things like Bitcoin. But there are | 0:23:31 | 0:23:37 | |
some prominent members of the
financial community that have come | 0:23:37 | 0:23:40 | |
out pretty critical of Bitcoin, and
this kind of digital currency, | 0:23:40 | 0:23:44 | |
saying it is something around a
Ponzi scheme, or it is really akin | 0:23:44 | 0:23:50 | |
to the kind of dot-com bubble we saw
in the early 2000s. Thank you very | 0:23:50 | 0:23:54 | |
much indeed. One Bitcoin going for
$11,000 earlier, back to below | 0:23:54 | 0:24:01 | |
$10,000 at the moment. | 0:24:01 | 0:24:04 | |
The US administration is looking
at Chinese aluminium imports. | 0:24:04 | 0:24:10 | |
There were more than $600 million
worth just last year. | 0:24:10 | 0:24:13 | |
Now the Americans are
considering raising tariffs. | 0:24:13 | 0:24:14 | |
Here's Celia Hatton on what
the Chinese make of that prospect. | 0:24:14 | 0:24:18 | |
That intense displeasure, it accused
the US of engaging in protectionism, | 0:24:18 | 0:24:25 | |
and said it would stand up for
Chinese firms's interest. So it | 0:24:25 | 0:24:29 | |
really isn't backing down. It also
said that probes of this kind will | 0:24:29 | 0:24:33 | |
hurt both countries's interest. It
really could not have used stronger | 0:24:33 | 0:24:41 | |
language to underline how unhappy it
is that the US has made this | 0:24:41 | 0:24:44 | |
announcement. Donald Trump has
warned he is unhappy with the trade | 0:24:44 | 0:24:48 | |
deficit. It was interesting, when he
was in Beijing, he said he didn't | 0:24:48 | 0:24:52 | |
blame China for the trade deficit,
he blamed previous administrations. | 0:24:52 | 0:24:57 | |
That led to a lot of people
criticising Donald Trump, saying he | 0:24:57 | 0:25:00 | |
is not doing enough to deal with the
problems facing the US economy when | 0:25:00 | 0:25:05 | |
it comes to China. I think what the
announcement of this probe, he is | 0:25:05 | 0:25:09 | |
really going to try to please his
base inside the United States. This | 0:25:09 | 0:25:14 | |
is just lining up another card. We
had the announcement, as you said, | 0:25:14 | 0:25:18 | |
of tariffs on aluminium foil last
month. The announcement of an | 0:25:18 | 0:25:22 | |
investigation into intellectual
property theft by China against US | 0:25:22 | 0:25:27 | |
interests, and now this latest probe
announcement. But many people say | 0:25:27 | 0:25:30 | |
this is not the way to go about
dealing with problems within the two | 0:25:30 | 0:25:33 | |
economies. Because the United States
does seem to be acting unilaterally, | 0:25:33 | 0:25:38 | |
they are not lining up other
countries to back them in this. They | 0:25:38 | 0:25:41 | |
are not going through the WTO, as
the Obama administration did, and so | 0:25:41 | 0:25:46 | |
many people are signalling that
maybe this isn't going to achieve | 0:25:46 | 0:25:49 | |
the goals that the United States
wants. I will see you in a couple of | 0:25:49 | 0:25:55 | |
minutes time. | 0:25:55 | 0:25:56 | |
Of course, it is spring time at the
moment across Australia. In fact, | 0:26:07 | 0:26:13 | |
the month of November has been
exceptional across parts of Victoria | 0:26:13 | 0:26:17 | |
and New South Wales. Temperatures
have been well above the seasonal | 0:26:17 | 0:26:22 | |
average, with the heat even as far
south as Tasmania, but things are | 0:26:22 | 0:26:25 | |
about to change. A big thundery
breakdown across parts of Queensland | 0:26:25 | 0:26:31 | |
and the Brisbane areas, some violent
thunderstorms last 24 hours. And | 0:26:31 | 0:26:37 | |
here a cold front moving in from the
south-west, bringing insignificant | 0:26:37 | 0:26:40 | |
thunderstorms to Victoria and New
South Wales. These violent | 0:26:40 | 0:26:44 | |
thunderstorms will move eastwards
from Thursday to Friday, could bring | 0:26:44 | 0:26:48 | |
some large hail, risk of flash
flooding and frequent lightning, and | 0:26:48 | 0:26:52 | |
also a significant drop in
temperature as well. It looks like | 0:26:52 | 0:26:56 | |
the start of summer will be much
wetter than what we have seen during | 0:26:56 | 0:26:59 | |
the course of November, with those
temperatures coming down across all | 0:26:59 | 0:27:01 | |
areas. Now into Indonesia and
Malaysia, the heavy, thundery rain | 0:27:01 | 0:27:08 | |
continues, enhanced rainfall across
parts of Java and Sumatra. Tropical | 0:27:08 | 0:27:13 | |
depressions remain just offshore
from the south of Java. It will | 0:27:13 | 0:27:17 | |
bring some very large waves here
with some disturbance in the seat | 0:27:17 | 0:27:21 | |
for these tropical storms, which are
bringing fairly strong wins out in | 0:27:21 | 0:27:25 | |
open waters. Further north, heavy
rain across the Malay Peninsula | 0:27:25 | 0:27:29 | |
across the Gulf of Thailand could
lead to some flooding and landslides | 0:27:29 | 0:27:32 | |
and significant travel disruption.
This heavy rain is tied into | 0:27:32 | 0:27:37 | |
torrential downpours across the Bay
of Bengal and in the southern India | 0:27:37 | 0:27:40 | |
as well. Explosive cloud element of
the south of India. Flooding could | 0:27:40 | 0:27:46 | |
cause some problems in major cities.
As we head into the weekend, there | 0:27:46 | 0:27:53 | |
is a chance we could see a tropical
cyclone developing in the Bay of | 0:27:53 | 0:27:57 | |
Bengal, which could impact the
south-east of India early next week. | 0:27:57 | 0:28:01 | |
Into Europe, a severe weather event
developing. Cold air moving south, | 0:28:01 | 0:28:07 | |
steering the jet stream in towards
the Mediterranean, which is firing | 0:28:07 | 0:28:10 | |
in the areas of low pressure. This
area of low pressure is expected to | 0:28:10 | 0:28:15 | |
be slow-moving and intense as it
pushes toward Italy and Greece and | 0:28:15 | 0:28:19 | |
the Balkans. In the next couple of
days, significant rainfall across | 0:28:19 | 0:28:24 | |
western Greece, Montenegro and
Albania, which could lead to severe | 0:28:24 | 0:28:31 | |
flooding. Back home, we are
continuing with the Arctic air, | 0:28:31 | 0:28:37 | |
which will bring some very cold
weather during Thursday and Friday. | 0:28:37 | 0:28:42 | |
In fact, Thursday is looking like
possibly being the coldest air of | 0:28:42 | 0:28:46 | |
the week, with temperatures just
about getting above freezing in many | 0:28:46 | 0:28:49 | |
places. There will be plenty of
sunshine around, eastern areas will | 0:28:49 | 0:28:52 | |
hold onto the strong winds and the
wintry showers. A full UK weather | 0:28:52 | 0:28:57 | |
forecast in about half an hour. | 0:28:57 | 0:28:59 | |
Donald Trump is causing controversy
again. He has re-tweeted several far | 0:30:15 | 0:30:21 | |
right videos which feature
unverified claims about Muslims. | 0:30:21 | 0:30:24 | |
The UK is offering up to 50 billion
euros in a divorce bill. This will | 0:30:24 | 0:30:29 | |
set of its financial commitments
when it leaves the European Union. | 0:30:29 | 0:30:33 | |
Shocking event earlier during a war
crimes trial in The Hague. After | 0:30:33 | 0:30:37 | |
losing his appeal this former
Bosnian Croat commander drank poison | 0:30:37 | 0:30:41 | |
and later died.
The UN Security Council is | 0:30:41 | 0:30:45 | |
discussing North Korea's latest
missile test. Updated | 0:30:45 | 0:30:49 | |
We will keep you updated. | 0:30:50 | 0:30:53 | |
Let's talk about this former Bosnian
Croat commander who has died after | 0:31:05 | 0:31:09 | |
drinking poison at a UN criminal
Tribunal in The Hague. His final | 0:31:09 | 0:31:15 | |
appeal against the prison sentence
had just been dismissed and this is | 0:31:15 | 0:31:20 | |
what happens.
TRANSLATION: Slobodan Praljak is not | 0:31:20 | 0:31:32 | |
a war criminal. Stop, please, sit
down. | 0:31:32 | 0:31:38 | |
TRANSLATION: I have taken poison. | 0:31:40 | 0:31:53 | |
TRANSLATION: We suspend Common
Pleas, the curtains. The court has | 0:31:55 | 0:32:01 | |
now been declared a crime scene by
Dutch police. We have the story... | 0:32:01 | 0:32:13 | |
This was not the end in the court
had envisaged. This UN tribunal was | 0:32:15 | 0:32:20 | |
set up before the end of the war and
has surpassed expectations by | 0:32:20 | 0:32:25 | |
dealing with every one of the 161
suspects. But the fact one of them | 0:32:25 | 0:32:29 | |
was able to smuggle in a deadly
poison take it in front of live | 0:32:29 | 0:32:36 | |
cameras will leave an indelible mark
on this court's legacy. It has faced | 0:32:36 | 0:32:42 | |
allegations of bias from politicians
on all sides. Many of the victims | 0:32:42 | 0:32:46 | |
believe this institution has given
them some form of justice. Now the | 0:32:46 | 0:32:52 | |
question is, how could an
institution with such tight security | 0:32:52 | 0:32:56 | |
and impressive record and allow such
a fatal lapse. | 0:32:56 | 0:33:09 | |
The court has now been declared
a crime scene by Dutch police. | 0:33:09 | 0:33:12 | |
Anna Holligan picks up
on what happened next. | 0:33:12 | 0:33:22 | |
I'm not surprised at all. He was not
only a senior Croatian officer, but | 0:33:23 | 0:33:29 | |
in civilian life he'd been a theatre
director. I met him first in the | 0:33:29 | 0:33:35 | |
Croatian war. Afterwards I wondered
whether one of his battles has been | 0:33:35 | 0:33:39 | |
a bit stage managed. But then he was
in charge of the Bosnian Croats on | 0:33:39 | 0:33:44 | |
the day the wonderful bridge was
blown up on the 9th of November 19 | 0:33:44 | 0:33:52 | |
93. About five years ago I got a
call from one of his lawyers asking | 0:33:52 | 0:33:56 | |
me to help him with an alibi because
he said on that day I'd been meeting | 0:33:56 | 0:34:02 | |
in central Bosnia. I checked my
notes and he was one day out so that | 0:34:02 | 0:34:05 | |
was the end of the alibi. I'm not
altogether surprised because he was | 0:34:05 | 0:34:09 | |
always a man with a sense of drama.
I'm sure this was premeditated, | 0:34:09 | 0:34:13 | |
clearly. | 0:34:13 | 0:34:16 | |
Well the ruling was in the Hague. | 0:34:16 | 0:34:19 | |
Of course this has been
a huge story in Croatia | 0:34:19 | 0:34:21 | |
and across the wider Balkans. | 0:34:21 | 0:34:22 | |
Our correspondent Guy De
Launey is in the Serbian | 0:34:22 | 0:34:25 | |
capital, Belgrade. | 0:34:25 | 0:34:31 | |
The events were extraordinary. The
reaction was also remarkable. | 0:34:31 | 0:34:36 | |
Croatia's Prime Minister extended
his condolences to the family of | 0:34:36 | 0:34:38 | |
Slobodan Praljak. He also said that
his act which we all unfortunately | 0:34:38 | 0:34:44 | |
witnessed today talks about the deep
moral injustice towards six Croats | 0:34:44 | 0:34:49 | |
from Bosnia and the Croatian people.
This was showing really how | 0:34:49 | 0:34:54 | |
uncomfortable Croatia is with a
judgment which in both the first | 0:34:54 | 0:34:59 | |
instance and in the appeal more or
less found against the state of | 0:34:59 | 0:35:02 | |
Croatia. There was a joint criminal
enterprise in which these six men | 0:35:02 | 0:35:05 | |
who were convicted were
conspirators. But the first | 0:35:05 | 0:35:11 | |
independent president of Croatia was
also named in this joint criminal | 0:35:11 | 0:35:14 | |
enterprise. There was an accusation
that these people had driven people | 0:35:14 | 0:35:22 | |
out of this area of Bosnia to create
an ethnic Croat area. And carve it | 0:35:22 | 0:35:30 | |
out and create a so-called greater
Croatia. This demonstrates that the | 0:35:30 | 0:35:34 | |
individual states which emerged out
of Yugoslavia may find it difficult | 0:35:34 | 0:35:38 | |
to accept verdicts which paint
themselves in an unflattering light. | 0:35:38 | 0:35:42 | |
We have seen it many times over when
ethnic Serbs have been affected. | 0:35:42 | 0:35:47 | |
We're now seeing it with ethnic as
well. | 0:35:47 | 0:35:50 | |
This time yesterday we were talking
about a North Korean missile test | 0:35:50 | 0:35:54 | |
which had just happened. The UN
Security Council has discussed this. | 0:35:54 | 0:36:05 | |
President Trump has already told us
that he spoke to the Chinese | 0:36:05 | 0:36:12 | |
president today. | 0:36:12 | 0:36:18 | |
He said additional major
sanctions will be imposed | 0:36:18 | 0:36:19 | |
on North Korea today. | 0:36:20 | 0:36:21 | |
The White House also said that
during that convesation | 0:36:21 | 0:36:23 | |
"President Trump emphasized the need
for China to use all available | 0:36:23 | 0:36:25 | |
levers to convince" "North Korea
to end its provocations." | 0:36:25 | 0:36:27 | |
But China's position hasn't moved. | 0:36:28 | 0:36:36 | |
It's still "concerned". | 0:36:36 | 0:36:38 | |
But it's main idea
remains the same - | 0:36:38 | 0:36:39 | |
North Korea stops its test
in exchange for the US | 0:36:39 | 0:36:42 | |
stops military drills
like this in the region. | 0:36:42 | 0:36:44 | |
America's not going to go for that. | 0:36:44 | 0:36:45 | |
Of the missile test itself,
North Korea says it was a new model. | 0:36:45 | 0:36:49 | |
We can't confirm that but we do know
the heights that missiles | 0:36:49 | 0:36:51 | |
previous tests have reached. | 0:36:51 | 0:36:53 | |
As you can see, this latest one
was the highest yet. | 0:36:53 | 0:36:55 | |
That's significant. | 0:36:55 | 0:37:05 | |
This is a clip of the analsyst
Alison Evans explaining why. | 0:37:06 | 0:37:10 | |
That points to the fact North Korea
may have created a missile which has | 0:37:10 | 0:37:13 | |
a further range which could target
all of mainland United States, but | 0:37:13 | 0:37:18 | |
it still hasn't launched one of
these missiles on a flatter | 0:37:18 | 0:37:21 | |
trajectory which would go over
Japan. It's also important to note | 0:37:21 | 0:37:25 | |
that this wasn't the most
provocative test North Korea could | 0:37:25 | 0:37:28 | |
have done, which would have been
launching one of these missiles on a | 0:37:28 | 0:37:33 | |
flatter trajectory, or carrying out
an atmospheric nuclear test. | 0:37:33 | 0:37:40 | |
This missile, in this test, could
have travelled more than 13,000 | 0:37:44 | 0:37:47 | |
kilometres. If that's true that
brings any part of the continental | 0:37:47 | 0:37:53 | |
US into range. And if that's the
case, South Korea may get caught in | 0:37:53 | 0:37:58 | |
the middle. Its president seems to
act knowledge just as much. Here is | 0:37:58 | 0:38:03 | |
the president of South Korea making
a statement, saying: | 0:38:03 | 0:38:05 | |
This is an American arms control
analyst reacting to that, saying: | 0:38:15 | 0:38:20 | |
BBC's State Department correspondent
Barbara Plett Usher... | 0:38:32 | 0:38:36 | |
We know they are talking, do we know
anything that is happening in those | 0:38:36 | 0:38:40 | |
talks? They are just beginning.
There will be briefings to talk | 0:38:40 | 0:38:44 | |
about the situation both in terms of
missile test and where sanctions | 0:38:44 | 0:38:48 | |
enforcement is up. In terms of the
missile tests members will be | 0:38:48 | 0:38:51 | |
wanting to know just what it says
about whether this is a major | 0:38:51 | 0:38:55 | |
advance in technology or not, which
is what the North Koreans have been | 0:38:55 | 0:38:59 | |
saying, as well as experts. We
expect statements from council | 0:38:59 | 0:39:03 | |
members. I think you will see some
of them call not only to fully | 0:39:03 | 0:39:07 | |
implement strictly existing
sanctions, but also to have | 0:39:07 | 0:39:13 | |
additions to the sanctions already
in place. The French minister said | 0:39:13 | 0:39:17 | |
he would be looking for tougher
measures. Having said that, they | 0:39:17 | 0:39:22 | |
have three rounds of sanctions in
the past year that are already | 0:39:22 | 0:39:25 | |
tough. We will see whether they are
able to strengthen those even | 0:39:25 | 0:39:29 | |
further. Thanks very much. | 0:39:29 | 0:39:41 | |
Don't forget you can get much more
detail on our website. | 0:39:42 | 0:39:46 | |
You can get lots of background
material. As you can see, we have | 0:39:46 | 0:39:57 | |
news about Donald Trump and those
far right tweets, and the war | 0:39:57 | 0:40:00 | |
criminal who drank poison in The
Hague earlier. | 0:40:00 | 0:40:05 | |
For all our top stories -

France is hosting emergency talks
on the trading of slaves in Libya. | 0:40:07 | 0:40:10 | |
They're taking place
at a summit in Ivory Coast - | 0:40:10 | 0:40:13 | |
and African and European
countries are present. | 0:40:13 | 0:40:20 | |
It was actually meant to focus
on growth and stability. | 0:40:20 | 0:40:30 | |
But Libya has dominated
because of one CNN report | 0:40:32 | 0:40:37 | |
which allegedly showed a slave
auction of sub-Saharan | 0:40:37 | 0:40:39 | |
Africans in Libya. | 0:40:39 | 0:40:40 | |
Donald Tusk is one of the most
senior figures in the EU - | 0:40:40 | 0:40:43 | |
and he's attending. | 0:40:43 | 0:40:49 | |
We cannot accept this. We also
cannot accept that narrative that | 0:40:49 | 0:40:54 | |
it's Africa and Europe against each
other. The worst we can do is to | 0:40:54 | 0:41:00 | |
start the blame game. What we need
now are common solutions and | 0:41:00 | 0:41:07 | |
stronger cooperation to save lives,
protect people, and allow them to | 0:41:07 | 0:41:11 | |
live in dignity. | 0:41:11 | 0:41:14 | |
The white lines on this graphic show
popular migrant routes towards | 0:41:14 | 0:41:18 | |
Libya, and sometimes onward to
Europe. Some manage to go north into | 0:41:18 | 0:41:31 | |
Italy. But some get stuck in Libya. | 0:41:31 | 0:41:34 | |
The Nigerian president has said
he is going to repatriate | 0:41:34 | 0:41:36 | |
all Nigerians in that situation. | 0:41:36 | 0:41:37 | |
He said today "Some Nigerians
were being sold like goats | 0:41:37 | 0:41:40 | |
for few dollars in Libya." | 0:41:40 | 0:41:41 | |
But he didn't give details
on how he would actually | 0:41:41 | 0:41:43 | |
get these people home. | 0:41:43 | 0:41:44 | |
And the serious crimes
don't stop with slavery. | 0:41:44 | 0:41:48 | |
This is one woman in Libya
talking to an Italian NGO. | 0:41:48 | 0:41:53 | |
TRANSLATION: I stayed there for
about three months. There was a | 0:41:58 | 0:42:04 | |
rotor. Each woman had a different
day on which she would be raped. | 0:42:04 | 0:42:09 | |
They came and chose one of us, took
us away and did with us what they | 0:42:09 | 0:42:14 | |
wanted. That's how it was in the
camp. | 0:42:14 | 0:42:17 | |
The UN says more than 94,000
migrants have crossed | 0:42:17 | 0:42:19 | |
the Mediterranean to Italy
so far this year. | 0:42:19 | 0:42:21 | |
More than 2,300 have died trying. | 0:42:21 | 0:42:25 | |
There are many different reasons
that people risk their lives | 0:42:25 | 0:42:27 | |
making these crossings. | 0:42:28 | 0:42:37 | |
One is the economics, the belief
that Europe offers them better hope | 0:42:37 | 0:42:40 | |
than in their home country. | 0:42:40 | 0:42:45 | |
Tamasin Ford has been
finding out more. | 0:42:45 | 0:42:55 | |
Africa has one of the youngest
populations in the world. | 0:43:01 | 0:43:05 | |
Unemployment is a major problem.
TRANSLATION: Every year we have more | 0:43:05 | 0:43:13 | |
than 5000 students who graduate from
university. Less than 5% find a job. | 0:43:13 | 0:43:20 | |
Because of all of these difficulties
we know more and more young people | 0:43:20 | 0:43:24 | |
who aspire to go abroad to foreign
countries in Europe, to follow their | 0:43:24 | 0:43:27 | |
dream. More than two thirds of young
people in Africa work in the | 0:43:27 | 0:43:35 | |
informal economy. There isn't
insurance, there isn't a safety net, | 0:43:35 | 0:43:39 | |
and incomes hover around $2 per day.

TRANSLATION: I would like to open a
bigger sewing workshop and open | 0:43:50 | 0:43:56 | |
other workshops, but I don't have
money to do that. If I had someone | 0:43:56 | 0:44:01 | |
who could invest in me that would be
great, but asking the world -- we | 0:44:01 | 0:44:06 | |
are asking the world to help young
people here. It's a similar | 0:44:06 | 0:44:10 | |
situation across the continent,
people forced out of the formal | 0:44:10 | 0:44:14 | |
economy with few opportunities. The
future of young people, that's what | 0:44:14 | 0:44:21 | |
presidents, prime ministers, banks,
policymakers are here at the summit | 0:44:21 | 0:44:24 | |
to talk about. Jobs, education, and
the crucial question, how to keep | 0:44:24 | 0:44:29 | |
people from making that deadly trip
to Europe. It's very understandable | 0:44:29 | 0:44:33 | |
that young people look to go to
places where they have opportunities | 0:44:33 | 0:44:38 | |
to develop. I think our challenge,
and our task, is really to create | 0:44:38 | 0:44:46 | |
such an environment here. I think
it's very human that any human would | 0:44:46 | 0:44:50 | |
stay in the place where he or she
was born if there are opportunities | 0:44:50 | 0:44:56 | |
on the ground. Hundreds of thousands
of young Africans make the | 0:44:56 | 0:45:00 | |
treacherous trip to Europe every
year. If their situations at home | 0:45:00 | 0:45:05 | |
don't change the migrant crisis is
only going to get worse. | 0:45:05 | 0:45:10 | |
Many African and European leaders,
including Angela Merkel and Emmanuel | 0:45:16 | 0:45:20 | |
Macron, are there the summit. | 0:45:20 | 0:45:23 | |
But the British Prime Minister
is not - the Foreign | 0:45:23 | 0:45:25 | |
Secretary is there instead. | 0:45:25 | 0:45:26 | |
Here he is being questioned
by Tamasin about that. | 0:45:26 | 0:45:30 | |
Here we are. Where is the British
Prime Minister along with 83 other | 0:45:31 | 0:45:37 | |
heads of state? The UK isn't here.
As I say, in all fairness you would | 0:45:37 | 0:45:44 | |
have to note that this is the first
time a British Foreign Secretary has | 0:45:44 | 0:45:49 | |
come to the Ivory Coast in the
history of our country... It's a | 0:45:49 | 0:45:54 | |
relevant because nothing has ever
happened here before. Even the BBC | 0:45:54 | 0:45:59 | |
would have to concede that it's a
fantastic thing that we are spending | 0:45:59 | 0:46:02 | |
more than ever before in Africa... | 0:46:02 | 0:46:05 | |
Well the reason Theresa May isn't
in Ivory Coast is because - | 0:46:05 | 0:46:08 | |
she's on a three day
tour of the Middle East. | 0:46:08 | 0:46:10 | |
She just touched down
in Riyadh - in Saudi Arabia. | 0:46:10 | 0:46:12 | |
She's said she will use the visit
there to express concerns | 0:46:12 | 0:46:15 | |
about the humanitarian
crisis in Yemen. | 0:46:15 | 0:46:18 | |
Alex Forsyth reports. | 0:46:18 | 0:46:21 | |
With all the ceremony befitting a
friend, Theresa May touched down in | 0:46:25 | 0:46:30 | |
Riyadh, meeting not just the crowned
Prince but the country's king. It's | 0:46:30 | 0:46:34 | |
the British brand Minister's second
visit to Saudi Arabia this year. But | 0:46:34 | 0:46:39 | |
the warm relations here have led to
questions for her government in the | 0:46:39 | 0:46:42 | |
UK. -- British Prime Minister. Her
de facto deputy faced political | 0:46:42 | 0:46:50 | |
questions in her place as she was on
her tour. | 0:46:50 | 0:47:08 | |
The UK Government has
received £4.6 billion | 0:47:33 | 0:47:35 | |
in selling arms to Saudi Arabia
since the war in Yemen began. | 0:47:35 | 0:47:37 | |
A war which has
created a devastating | 0:47:37 | 0:47:39 | |
humanitarian crisis. | 0:47:39 | 0:47:40 | |
Yemen is now on the brink of famine. | 0:47:40 | 0:47:42 | |
Unicef has said that 150,000
children will die by | 0:47:42 | 0:47:44 | |
the end of this year,
doesn't the first secretary | 0:47:44 | 0:47:46 | |
agree that the best thing
the Prime Minister can do with | 0:47:46 | 0:47:49 | |
her meetings today is follow
the example of the Netherlands and | 0:47:49 | 0:47:52 | |
suspend licences for arms
sales to Saudi Arabia? | 0:47:52 | 0:47:54 | |
And stop killing children! | 0:47:54 | 0:47:55 | |
I should correct something
the Right Honourable gentleman said, | 0:47:55 | 0:47:57 | |
that the government received money. | 0:47:57 | 0:47:58 | |
It'll be the companies
that received the money. | 0:47:58 | 0:48:00 | |
Therefore their workers. | 0:48:00 | 0:48:01 | |
He can take that
position if he wants. | 0:48:01 | 0:48:03 | |
I know the Labour Party's position,
as well, but that would | 0:48:03 | 0:48:06 | |
certainly entail
significant job losses. | 0:48:06 | 0:48:07 | |
Now, what's very important is not
only that we have the robust | 0:48:07 | 0:48:10 | |
regime I talked about,
but that absolutely we continue the | 0:48:10 | 0:48:12 | |
humanitarian efforts that we make
to try to alleviate the terrible | 0:48:12 | 0:48:15 | |
conditions in Yemen. | 0:48:15 | 0:48:16 | |
This is the backdrop,
a country in the grip of war, | 0:48:16 | 0:48:18 | |
its civilians devastated
by starvation and disease. | 0:48:18 | 0:48:20 | |
The situation made worse
when the Saudi led coalition blocked | 0:48:20 | 0:48:22 | |
ports in rebel held areas, limiting
the supply of much-needed aid. | 0:48:22 | 0:48:26 | |
Earlier today the Prime Minister
promised to raise the issue in | 0:48:26 | 0:48:30 | |
Riyadh in the strongest possible
terms. | 0:48:30 | 0:48:32 | |
Are you personally comfortable
with the actions Saudi has taken in | 0:48:32 | 0:48:34 | |
regards to Yemen? | 0:48:34 | 0:48:35 | |
I'm very concerned about
the humanitarian crisis that | 0:48:35 | 0:48:37 | |
has developed in Yemen. | 0:48:37 | 0:48:38 | |
Particularly most recently. | 0:48:38 | 0:48:39 | |
That's why the strong message
I shall be giving to Saudi | 0:48:39 | 0:48:42 | |
Arabia tonight is that we want to
see the port opened for humanitarian | 0:48:42 | 0:48:45 | |
and commercial access. | 0:48:45 | 0:48:48 | |
That's important. | 0:48:48 | 0:48:52 | |
The international community
is concerned about the | 0:48:52 | 0:48:54 | |
humanitarian crisis in Yemen. | 0:48:54 | 0:48:59 | |
That access for commercial and
humanitarian goods is important | 0:48:59 | 0:49:02 | |
through this port. | 0:49:02 | 0:49:07 | |
The pledge was made
while she was in Iraq this morning, | 0:49:07 | 0:49:09 | |
one leg of her whistle-stop tour
in the region. | 0:49:09 | 0:49:11 | |
Here she met British troops to help
train Iraqi forces in the fight | 0:49:11 | 0:49:14 | |
against so-called Islamic State. | 0:49:15 | 0:49:16 | |
She is the first major world leader
to visit the country since the group | 0:49:16 | 0:49:19 | |
lost control of its Iraqi
stronghold, Mosul. | 0:49:19 | 0:49:21 | |
The Prime Minister's visited this
region is about showing the UK | 0:49:21 | 0:49:23 | |
has a say in the world, even
after leaving the EU, and countering | 0:49:23 | 0:49:26 | |
critics who say it stronghold
has somehow diminished. | 0:49:26 | 0:49:36 | |
As the British Prime Minister
forges what she calls | 0:49:36 | 0:49:39 | |
the UK's bold future in the world
the question is how she chooses to | 0:49:39 | 0:49:42 | |
use the influence she
is so keen to display. | 0:49:42 | 0:49:52 | |
Let's get you updated on Egypt. | 0:49:55 | 0:49:58 | |
Egypt's President has given
the military three months to restore | 0:49:58 | 0:50:00 | |
security and stability in Sinai. | 0:50:00 | 0:50:01 | |
The region in Egypt's north east has
been the scene of numerous attacks | 0:50:01 | 0:50:04 | |
by militants in the past two years
MOVE the latest was on Friday | 0:50:04 | 0:50:07 | |
when gunmen targeted a mosque
in the town of Bir al-Abed, | 0:50:07 | 0:50:10 | |
killing more than 300 people. | 0:50:10 | 0:50:16 | |
Abdul Fattah al-Sisi authorised
troops to use brute force - | 0:50:16 | 0:50:19 | |
but as Sally Nabil explains his
language has many worried. | 0:50:19 | 0:50:28 | |
What does he mean by that? Does he
mean deploying more troops, taking | 0:50:28 | 0:50:33 | |
extra measures. However, he said
they are going to use brute force. | 0:50:33 | 0:50:37 | |
This is the second time he used this
phrase. The first time was directly | 0:50:37 | 0:50:44 | |
after the mosque attack in modern
Sinai which killed hundreds of | 0:50:44 | 0:50:50 | |
people. And he said we are going to
respond with brute force. He was | 0:50:50 | 0:50:56 | |
severely criticised for that by some
analysts on social media, because | 0:50:56 | 0:51:00 | |
brute force means that you are going
to hit indiscriminately. You are not | 0:51:00 | 0:51:07 | |
targeting specific places or
specific people. You are going to | 0:51:07 | 0:51:11 | |
use force randomly. There are so
many militant groups operating in | 0:51:11 | 0:51:15 | |
Sinai over the past couple of years.
Because the Army have been | 0:51:15 | 0:51:19 | |
criticised for using force random at
some occasions, some people who lost | 0:51:19 | 0:51:27 | |
relatives or houses, or schools,
because of the air strikes carried | 0:51:27 | 0:51:30 | |
by the Army every now and then, they
do provide support for the | 0:51:30 | 0:51:33 | |
militants. They do believe in what
the mid--- not because they believe | 0:51:33 | 0:51:39 | |
in what the militants are doing, but
because they have some sort of | 0:51:39 | 0:51:42 | |
grudge against the military. | 0:51:42 | 0:51:53 | |
We have details from a new study out
about malaria. | 0:51:54 | 0:52:01 | |
The disease killed
445,000 people last year. | 0:52:01 | 0:52:03 | |
That's only small change
from the year before. | 0:52:03 | 0:52:05 | |
As you can see, the majority
of all malaria cases and deaths | 0:52:05 | 0:52:08 | |
happen in the developing world. | 0:52:08 | 0:52:12 | |
If you look at the trend
since 2010 you can see why | 0:52:12 | 0:52:15 | |
the WHO is concerned. | 0:52:15 | 0:52:21 | |
The red line shows Africa -
the blue is worldwide. | 0:52:21 | 0:52:23 | |
The trend is downwards,
but the rate is slowing. | 0:52:23 | 0:52:25 | |
The reason for that
is largely money. | 0:52:25 | 0:52:31 | |
The WHO says insufficient funding
means there are "major gaps | 0:52:31 | 0:52:33 | |
in coverage of insecticide-treated
nets, medicines, and other | 0:52:33 | 0:52:35 | |
life-saving tools". | 0:52:35 | 0:52:39 | |
But that's not the only thing
slowing down progress. | 0:52:39 | 0:52:42 | |
Mark Jacobs from the WHO explains. | 0:52:42 | 0:52:50 | |
It's also how we go about tackling
it. One of the fundamental | 0:52:50 | 0:52:54 | |
challenges we have is that services
for malaria, whether that is | 0:52:54 | 0:53:00 | |
prevention services, diagnosis
services, treatment services, are | 0:53:00 | 0:53:03 | |
not reaching everybody who needs
them. Partly that is a funding | 0:53:03 | 0:53:07 | |
issue. It's also about how health
systems operate, about how | 0:53:07 | 0:53:12 | |
programmes operate, but until we
come to grips with the fact that | 0:53:12 | 0:53:15 | |
there are still big gaps in
coverage, we will not hit those | 0:53:15 | 0:53:19 | |
ambitious targets for malaria. | 0:53:19 | 0:53:22 | |
The International Airport in Bali
has been reopened. It was closed | 0:53:22 | 0:53:28 | |
because of all of this volcanic ash.
While it was closed thousands of | 0:53:28 | 0:53:33 | |
tourists were stark. The threat is
over. The volcanic ash is still | 0:53:33 | 0:53:41 | |
blowing away from the airport, but,
of course, that can change. An | 0:53:41 | 0:53:45 | |
eruption could happen at any moment.
These are the images coming in at | 0:53:45 | 0:53:50 | |
the moment. That's why authorities
are trying to convince people living | 0:53:50 | 0:53:54 | |
nearby to leave their homes. Here is
the latest... | 0:53:54 | 0:53:58 | |
It's another day of waiting on the
island of Bali, waiting to see what | 0:53:58 | 0:54:04 | |
the volcano will do next. You can
probably hear that there is a | 0:54:04 | 0:54:08 | |
tropical storm, which is making
conditions difficult. At this | 0:54:08 | 0:54:12 | |
evacuation camp some people have
been living here for the last two | 0:54:12 | 0:54:15 | |
months since the first tremors were
felt. Some have just first arrived | 0:54:15 | 0:54:20 | |
in the last few hours, having
resisted evacuation until now, until | 0:54:20 | 0:54:25 | |
they saw layers of volcanic ash
build on their homes. Up to one | 0:54:25 | 0:54:28 | |
centimetre thick in some instances.
This has made people very worried | 0:54:28 | 0:54:34 | |
about what will happen their homes,
and livestock. What could come next | 0:54:34 | 0:54:44 | |
is red-hot lava. There are also
thousands of tourists stuck here not | 0:54:44 | 0:54:49 | |
knowing what will happen next.
Hundreds of flights have been | 0:54:49 | 0:54:52 | |
cancelled. The situation is
uncertain. Some people have tried to | 0:54:52 | 0:54:56 | |
make the most of it, adding a few
more days to their holiday. For now | 0:54:56 | 0:55:01 | |
what most people can do is | 0:55:01 | 0:55:03 |
