a century of their musical stop it is one of the most important rock

bands so far in music history. You can't really deny that.

:01:34.:01:52.

China may be the world's second-biggest economy,

:01:53.:01:56.

The country's citizens are getting nervous and are sending their money

:01:57.:02:00.

Analysis of the Panama papers, the leaked document showing how

:02:01.:02:04.

the world's elite have tried to hide their money,

:02:05.:02:06.

revealed some of the biggest culprits are in China.

:02:07.:02:08.

The Chinese authorities limit the amount of money

:02:09.:02:10.

people can take abroad, but as Celia Hatton has been finding

:02:11.:02:13.

out, some go to extreme measures to get their millions out

:02:14.:02:15.

They are desperate to keep their money safe.

:02:16.:02:21.

Many are anxious to smuggle their wealth out of China, away

:02:22.:02:26.

I met a man who works as a money mule, carrying cash over the border

:02:27.:02:35.

TRANSLATION: I strap the money to my body or I carry a small bag.

:02:36.:02:41.

Customs officers always target people with lots of luggage,

:02:42.:02:46.

or those who look nervous, so I just try to act normal.

:02:47.:02:53.

It is not just people with ties to the leadership who are stashing

:02:54.:02:56.

Growing numbers of people are moving their money out of China

:02:57.:03:00.

on a scale never seen before, and much of that money passes

:03:01.:03:03.

And then the money has to go somewhere.

:03:04.:03:06.

Last year, Chinese buyers snapped up more than ?35 billion in overseas

:03:07.:03:12.

Every Chinese citizen can transfer ?35,000 a year outside the country.

:03:13.:03:23.

Anything more than that often has to be moved illegally,

:03:24.:03:25.

but for those who fear their nest eggs will be wiped out by China's

:03:26.:03:29.

slowing economy, and for those who want to hide their wealth

:03:30.:03:32.

from the authorities, money smuggling is a necessary risk.

:03:33.:03:37.

The outflow of capital is something that the Chinese government

:03:38.:03:40.

They are aware of the scale of it, but the fact that they are giving it

:03:41.:03:51.

a fair bit of priority and yet the scale of the problem remains

:03:52.:03:55.

so large means that they are not entirely on top of it.

:03:56.:04:00.

Across Hong Kong, it is common to see visitors from mainland China

:04:01.:04:07.

Think of it as a symbol for what is happening around the globe.

:04:08.:04:12.

China's richest people, including the country's top leaders,

:04:13.:04:14.

are choosing to take their money out of the country to spend elsewhere.

:04:15.:04:18.

They are protecting themselves, but making China more vulnerable.

:04:19.:04:20.

Celia Hatton, BBC News, Hong Kong.

:04:21.:04:30.

He was one of the most notorious British spies of the Cold War era.

:04:31.:04:34.

Kim Philby rose up the ranks of the intelligence service MI6

:04:35.:04:36.

while all the while passing secrets to the Soviet Union and the KGB.

:04:37.:04:39.

But he has never been seen talking about his 30 years of

:04:40.:04:42.

The BBC has unearthed fascinating video of Philby addressing

:04:43.:04:45.

officers of the East German intelligence service,

:04:46.:04:50.

Gordon Corera has been examining this

:04:51.:04:53.

Britain's most famous spy, its greatest traitor.

:04:54.:05:06.

I must also warn you that I am no public speaker.

:05:07.:05:14.

Almost all my life I've spent trying to avoid publicity of any kind.

:05:15.:05:18.

The BBC unearthed this hour-long video, the images grainy,

:05:19.:05:21.

It is 1981 and Philby is addressing the Stasi,

:05:22.:05:27.

Never intended for the public, this recording has lain hidden

:05:28.:05:33.

Every evening I left the office with a big briefcase full of reports

:05:34.:05:43.

which I had written myself, full of files taken out

:05:44.:05:45.

of the actual documents, the actual archives.

:05:46.:05:48.

I used to hand them to my Soviet contact in the evening, the next

:05:49.:05:51.

morning I would get the file back, the contents having been

:05:52.:05:54.

photographed, and take them back early in the morning and put

:05:55.:05:57.

That I did regularly, year in, year out.

:05:58.:06:02.

Mr Harold Philby, on the right, holds a press conference to deny

:06:03.:06:05.

charges that he was involved in the disappearance

:06:06.:06:06.

Until now, this was the only known video of Philby speaking.

:06:07.:06:16.

It is 1955, and he was denying reports he was a Communist.

:06:17.:06:19.

The last time I spoke to a Communist, knowing him to be

:06:20.:06:22.

Eight years later, he fled to Moscow.

:06:23.:06:31.

Philby is buried in a cemetery on the outskirts of the Russian

:06:32.:06:33.

capital, along with other heroes of his adopted homeland.

:06:34.:06:40.

Philby died in 1988, 25 years after he came to the Soviet

:06:41.:06:43.

It was a country he regarded as home.

:06:44.:06:48.

He was the spy who came into the cold.

:06:49.:07:08.

They interrogated me to try to break my note. My advice to agents was to

:07:09.:07:16.

deny everything. The secret account of his betrayal
