:00:08. > :00:14.A French official in Calais calls for migrants be allowed to apply

:00:15. > :00:24.Brazil's suspended President calls her impeachment trial a death

:00:25. > :00:28.New research suggests switching to a Mediterranean diet can

:00:29. > :00:30.substantially reduce the risk of early death, in people

:00:31. > :00:37.And we get exclusive access to the scientists trying to discover

:00:38. > :01:02.Migrants in Calais who want asylum in the UK should be allowed

:01:03. > :01:04.to lodge their claim in France, according to the president

:01:05. > :01:11.Xavier Bertrand told the BBC that people living in the camp known

:01:12. > :01:14.as the Jungle should be able to apply for asylum before

:01:15. > :01:20.His comments come after two leading contenders for the French presidency

:01:21. > :01:25.in next year's election - Nicolas Sarkozy and Alain Juppe -

:01:26. > :01:27.also called for changes to the treaty which allows UK border

:01:28. > :01:40.Where fences and barbed wire stretch along the roads and the railways

:01:41. > :01:45.that lead to the ferries, the trains, and on to Britain.

:01:46. > :01:48.Every day more are put up to stop people living here illegally

:01:49. > :01:56.But there's only so much a fence can do.

:01:57. > :02:00.Calais' shantytown camp that's known as The Jungle, is growing.

:02:01. > :02:02.Many here believe that part of the problem is the bilateral

:02:03. > :02:05.agreement known as Le Touquet, that sees British border guards

:02:06. > :02:10.The president of this region says Le Touquet must

:02:11. > :02:23.It's not possible to keep the border here without a new co-operation

:02:24. > :02:28.If the British Government don't want to open this discussion,

:02:29. > :02:30.we will tell you, the Le Touquet agreement is over.

:02:31. > :02:37.Migrants hoping to claim asylum in the UK should be able to do

:02:38. > :02:45.Partly because that's not how the asylum system works.

:02:46. > :02:47.You're supposed to apply in the country that

:02:48. > :02:53.Secondly, I just think it would be a huge magnet to draw thousands more

:02:54. > :02:56.migrants to Calais who would come to chance their arm that they might

:02:57. > :03:01.Mr Bertrand's intervention highlights how important

:03:02. > :03:04.the issues of security, of borders, of migration,

:03:05. > :03:10.He doesn't have the power to change the Le Touquet accord,

:03:11. > :03:13.but the next French President will have that power.

:03:14. > :03:16.Elections are due to be held next year and already,

:03:17. > :03:18.two of the leading contenders for the post have said

:03:19. > :03:25.One of them, the former president Nicolas Sarkozy, spoke this

:03:26. > :03:37.He said border controls should be shifted to Britain.

:03:38. > :03:39.The current French President, who recently met the Prime Minister,

:03:40. > :03:44.He says the accord is in the interests of both their countries.

:03:45. > :03:49.But it doesn't feel like it on the roads leading to Calais.

:03:50. > :03:51.Where smugglers block the route so migrants can stow

:03:52. > :03:55.Tomorrow the Home Secretary Amber Rudd will be in Paris

:03:56. > :04:00.to meet her opposite number, and Calais will be on the agenda.

:04:01. > :04:07.Our Correspondent Lucy Williamson is in Paris for us.

:04:08. > :04:18.Lucy, how serious are these calls for changes to the treaty?

:04:19. > :04:23.When the Home Secretary arrives here tomorrow she will find a government

:04:24. > :04:29.in Paris that broadly sees eye to eye with the UK on the Togwell

:04:30. > :04:33.agreement. Present Francois Hollande, a socialist president, has

:04:34. > :04:36.refused to negotiate it but he is also a president with some of the

:04:37. > :04:41.lowest approval ratings in modern French streets over the UK, the

:04:42. > :04:47.worry is what happens after those presidential elections next spring.

:04:48. > :04:51.And the far right here in France has been stoking the fire of present

:04:52. > :04:55.Francois Hollande? Centre-right rival. Candidate after candidate

:04:56. > :05:01.lining up to position themselves as strong on issues like security and

:05:02. > :05:05.immigration. I think the regional head of Calais may not have that

:05:06. > :05:08.power to decide exactly how and where at those migrants get

:05:09. > :05:12.processed, but the next president of France will have that power and if

:05:13. > :05:14.it is a right-wing president then the UK might have to look at we

:05:15. > :05:18.negotiated that agreement. Police in Surrey investigating

:05:19. > :05:20.reports that a boy had been abducted, have arrested a man

:05:21. > :05:23.on suspicion of perverting A search was launched on Thursday,

:05:24. > :05:28.after a member of the public reported seeing a child

:05:29. > :05:31.being bundled into a van in Redhill. Police now say that no

:05:32. > :05:33.information has been received Police in the Irish Republic say

:05:34. > :05:41.a family of five have been found Their bodies were discovered

:05:42. > :05:45.at a property in Barconey The dead are a man in his 40s,

:05:46. > :05:52.his wife and their three sons Officers say they're not

:05:53. > :05:55.looking for anyone else British scientists have developed

:05:56. > :06:01.a test that could spot the early The technique involves

:06:02. > :06:05.testing for a protein It's believed that early diagnosis

:06:06. > :06:10.would greatly improve The suspended Brazilian President

:06:11. > :06:18.Dilma Rousseff has been defending her record in office,

:06:19. > :06:24.at her impeachment trial. Senators are due to vote

:06:25. > :06:26.later this week on whether to remove her from power -

:06:27. > :06:29.a move she called an attempted coup. Our correspondent Aleem Maqbool

:06:30. > :06:44.is in the Brazilian capital. We are inside the Senate building.

:06:45. > :06:48.We have come out of the chamber where Dilma Rousseff is a woman

:06:49. > :06:52.under fire, taking questions from the same senators who will decide

:06:53. > :06:57.her fate in the next couple of days. She has been defiant and, to saying

:06:58. > :06:59.that this is a cool and saying it would be a disaster for Brazil if

:07:00. > :07:02.she is removed from office. Arriving for what could

:07:03. > :07:04.be her last stand. At her impeachment trial she made

:07:05. > :07:10.a final attempt to fight off In what she sees as

:07:11. > :07:18.simply a class war. TRANSLATION: As with all elites,

:07:19. > :07:20.they don't want to follow the will of the people,

:07:21. > :07:25.they want to take over at any price. Well there are supporters

:07:26. > :07:27.of Dilma Rousseff outside the Senate as she speaks,

:07:28. > :07:30.but millions more around the country too who feel

:07:31. > :07:35.she is being impeached unfairly. But the small numbers and relative

:07:36. > :07:38.lack of energy is a sign that very few have hope left

:07:39. > :07:42.that she will survive this process. Earlier this year thousands

:07:43. > :07:46.took to the streets both for and against their president

:07:47. > :07:49.in an illustration of just how Dilma Rousseff has

:07:50. > :07:55.been judged before. In her youth she was jailed

:07:56. > :07:57.for fighting against But she rose to Brazil's highest

:07:58. > :08:04.office in 2010, receiving the presidential sash

:08:05. > :08:07.from her predecessor and mentor, But it was a dramatic economic

:08:08. > :08:18.collapse that led Rousseff's opponents to seize on an opportunity

:08:19. > :08:20.to push against her and What many celebrated,

:08:21. > :08:30.others saw as an injustice. The decision to suspend

:08:31. > :08:32.Dilma Rousseff, when no corruption The trial now is all a big comedown

:08:33. > :08:43.after the feel-good factor of the of the venues are dismantled it

:08:44. > :08:47.seems a break for the games can't to move on from trying

:08:48. > :08:50.to save their president. They say Brazilians

:08:51. > :08:59.have a short-term memory, they can't remember stuff that happens, they

:09:00. > :09:01.only remember what just happened. But Dilma Rousseff says fighting

:09:02. > :09:03.is inher nature, and In reality, before the week is out,

:09:04. > :09:08.she could be told she has to vacate Aleem Maqbool, BBC

:09:09. > :09:15.News, in Brasilia. The United States has described

:09:16. > :09:18.fighting between Turkey and the Kurdish YPG militia forces

:09:19. > :09:23.in northern Syria as unacceptable. Turkish troops moved across

:09:24. > :09:25.the border last week and drove out But since then, they've

:09:26. > :09:35.concentrated their fire on Kurdish groups who are a key partner

:09:36. > :09:37.of the US in its battle Singapore has confirmed 15

:09:38. > :09:41.new cases of the Zika virus, bringing to 56 the total number

:09:42. > :09:44.of people who have been infected. None of those infected is known

:09:45. > :09:47.to have recently travelled to Zika affected areas - suggesting they've

:09:48. > :09:49.been infected in Singapore. Zika generally has mild effects -

:09:50. > :09:52.but it poses a risk to pregnant women because it can cause

:09:53. > :09:57.severe birth defects. Many people already know

:09:58. > :09:59.the benefits of a Mediterranean diet in reducing the chances

:10:00. > :10:03.of heart disease. But does eating food rich

:10:04. > :10:05.in vegetables, nuts, fish and oils have an effect

:10:06. > :10:09.if you already have problems? Well, new research suggests your

:10:10. > :10:12.risk of dying from heart disease can be reduced by up to a third,

:10:13. > :10:16.as Dan Johnson reports. The key ingredients

:10:17. > :10:19.for a long and healthy life. We know a diet of vegetables,

:10:20. > :10:22.fish, nuts and olive oil But now a claim it can even

:10:23. > :10:29.help beat heart disease. The balance of fruit and vegetables

:10:30. > :10:31.means there is extra vitamins and related compounds,

:10:32. > :10:33.which are better for you. The Mediterranean diet is generally,

:10:34. > :10:39.I think, more healthy in most of its components than,

:10:40. > :10:41.if you like, the standard British 1,200 patients who had

:10:42. > :10:48.had heart attacks, strokes and blocked arteries,

:10:49. > :10:55.were tracked over seven years. Ones who followed

:10:56. > :10:57.a Mediterranean diet were less likely to be amongst those

:10:58. > :10:59.who died during the study. And healthier hearts are no surprise

:11:00. > :11:01.here at this We use in our recipes are a lot

:11:02. > :11:08.of vegetables and fruits. Pasta, pizza, everything

:11:09. > :11:13.is from the ground. My wife is a bit of

:11:14. > :11:18.a fanatic on this front. The grilled fish, vegetables

:11:19. > :11:28.and lovely meat dishes. more than a quarter

:11:29. > :11:32.of all deaths in the UK. So the hope is by eating more

:11:33. > :11:38.like this, we may be able to prevent some of that disease

:11:39. > :11:45.and extend some of those lives. There is a claim Mediterranean

:11:46. > :11:48.cooking could be more effective than drugs like statins, widely

:11:49. > :11:50.prescribed for heart problems. The author of this study even said

:11:51. > :11:52.the NHS should prescribe Gypsies and travellers say that

:11:53. > :12:03.government policy is threatening Changes to planning rules

:12:04. > :12:09.in England, introduced a year ago, mean those who stop travelling

:12:10. > :12:11.are unlikely to be granted The government says it wants

:12:12. > :12:17.a fair system which gives councils more power -

:12:18. > :12:19.gypsies believe they're This place is literally

:12:20. > :12:29.sacred to us. Appleby Fair, a celebration

:12:30. > :12:40.of a way of life. I am a Romany Gypsy and I am

:12:41. > :12:44.fiercely proud of my identity, my culture, my language

:12:45. > :12:50.and my traditions. The Gypsy community,

:12:51. > :13:00.immersed in a culture, which has Washing the horses in the river,

:13:01. > :13:05.we've been doing that ever since we arrived in this country

:13:06. > :13:07.500 years ago. We have been coming here to the fair

:13:08. > :13:11.and ever since we've been washing the horses in the river

:13:12. > :13:13.in the exact same way. Today, they're enjoying

:13:14. > :13:15.their day in the sun. Many families have now

:13:16. > :13:22.abandoned their traditional life There is a desperate

:13:23. > :13:29.shortage of caravan sites. That is why 80% of our people

:13:30. > :13:32.are in houses, because they got so desperate and it got

:13:33. > :13:34.so difficult for them, They don't want to be in houses,

:13:35. > :13:40.they want to be on a caravan site. The pressures of modern life mean

:13:41. > :13:43.Gypsies often reluctantly move into houses for work,

:13:44. > :13:45.for school, or because of age But the law changes in England mean

:13:46. > :13:52.that once they come off the road, even for a short time,

:13:53. > :13:55.they can now find it impossible Trying to get planning permission

:13:56. > :14:02.for a caravan site as a Gypsy or traveller has become

:14:03. > :14:04.more and more difficult. Prejudice on the part

:14:05. > :14:08.of the general population It is harder and harder and harder

:14:09. > :14:15.for people to find somewhere. It took Nicola 12 years to win

:14:16. > :14:17.a planning battle Just trying to settle down and give

:14:18. > :14:29.them the best in life you can and do the best for them so that

:14:30. > :14:32.when they get older, Everyone else is up there,

:14:33. > :14:37.and travellers are down there. It has been like that

:14:38. > :14:39.for a long time. No matter how much you shout,

:14:40. > :14:43.people don't want to know. Away from the romance of the summer

:14:44. > :14:46.fair, what Gypsies want is this. We have caravans that we use

:14:47. > :14:55.for bedrooms and living rooms. We have a smaller caravan

:14:56. > :14:57.for the children. We have all the conveniences

:14:58. > :14:59.people in the settled But, at the same time,

:15:00. > :15:03.we are hanging onto our culture These new rules only

:15:04. > :15:07.apply in England. Ministers say that councils now have

:15:08. > :15:10.more power to stop unauthorised camps and more freedom to decide

:15:11. > :15:14.what sites to provide. The government insists it treats

:15:15. > :15:18.all communities equally. But some believe that Gypsies,

:15:19. > :15:21.far from being victimised, I think travellers who travel

:15:22. > :15:29.probably do have a strong case. But travellers who don't travel

:15:30. > :15:32.and are seeking a permanent lifestyle on a particular spot

:15:33. > :15:35.in the countryside should not have the right to build

:15:36. > :15:42.where no-one else can. It all leaves Gypsies fearing

:15:43. > :15:44.that they are being forced Genuinely, people in this world

:15:45. > :15:50.today think it is a crime And they genuinely, genuinely think

:15:51. > :15:55.we should not be allowed to exist. And so England's Gypsies fear

:15:56. > :16:03.an uncertain future. But the government insists it is up

:16:04. > :16:06.to local communities to decide what sites to provide for those

:16:07. > :16:09.who choose the travelling life. Football, and the England manager

:16:10. > :16:18.Sam Allardyce has started preparations for his first

:16:19. > :16:20.World Cup qualifier. He met his new squad

:16:21. > :16:23.for the first time today, which includes the uncapped West Ham

:16:24. > :16:26.midfielder, Michail Antonio. Have you ever wondered how even

:16:27. > :16:33.the smallest birds manage Scientists at Stanford University

:16:34. > :16:39.have designed a unique bird windtunnel to find out -

:16:40. > :16:41.hoping ultimately to design flying Our science reporter Victoria Gill

:16:42. > :16:45.has had exclusive access Only in very slow motion can we see

:16:46. > :16:56.the minuscule adjustments this lovebird constantly makes

:16:57. > :17:00.to its flapping wings. Its tiny body has evolved perfectly

:17:01. > :17:03.to fly and human engineers haven't That's something that researchers

:17:04. > :17:14.in this lab hope to change. They've dedicated an entire room

:17:15. > :17:16.at Stanford University in California to building this wind

:17:17. > :17:18.tunnel, the only one OK, so this is where you fly

:17:19. > :17:24.the birds. And it's starting to help them

:17:25. > :17:30.discover some of the Wind tunnels have been used

:17:31. > :17:39.for a long time to study bird flight but the new thing about this one

:17:40. > :17:41.is that with this device, they can manipulate the airflow

:17:42. > :17:44.to recreate any environment on Earth, from a gusty city

:17:45. > :17:50.to the top of a mountain. When you see a bird fly

:17:51. > :17:53.by in a city, you see all these And that is all it's doing to adjust

:17:54. > :17:58.to all the turbulence. And so it's really these tiny

:17:59. > :18:01.motions where they adapt quickly And we have no idea how they make

:18:02. > :18:06.these in response to In the moving air, the bird remains

:18:07. > :18:14.in one place. So exactly how it shifts

:18:15. > :18:17.as the airflow changes can be seen But the team with their specially

:18:18. > :18:28.clicker-trained birds have also measured invisible

:18:29. > :18:29.characteristics of short, This setup is unique because it

:18:30. > :18:36.allows us to capture all the forces that a bird generates

:18:37. > :18:38.from the moment it takes off to when it lands

:18:39. > :18:41.during one of these flights. We have been able to record that

:18:42. > :18:44.actually most birds when they fly, they generate twice as much lift

:18:45. > :18:46.during the downstroke to support And during upstroke,

:18:47. > :18:53.it actually freefalls. So what can be done with all

:18:54. > :18:56.of this flight insight? The next generation of small-scale

:18:57. > :19:00.flying robots, or drones, will need to cope in unstable

:19:01. > :19:03.environments if they're to be useful in military or search

:19:04. > :19:05.and rescue applications. Currently, they simply can't manage

:19:06. > :19:09.as smoothly as birds. So these scientists will aim

:19:10. > :19:11.to create robotic copies of what nature has perfected

:19:12. > :19:15.over millions of years. Victoria Gill, BBC News,
