:00:00. > :00:09.Hello. This is BBC World News. Our top stories: The urgent struggle to

:00:10. > :00:14.find survivors in a Latvian supermarket after the roof

:00:15. > :00:18.collapsed, killing 32 people. Two weeks after Super Typhoon Haiyan

:00:19. > :00:23.hit the Philippines, the long term cost for survivors - the

:00:24. > :00:26.psychological impact and trauma. Police in Britain investigate a

:00:27. > :00:31.married couple suspected of holding three women as slaves for at least

:00:32. > :00:34.30 years. 50 years since President Kennedy was

:00:35. > :00:38.assassinated, we'll be live in Berlin to remember how he gave the

:00:39. > :00:58.divided city hope with his "Ich bin ein Berliner" speech.

:00:59. > :01:03.Emergency workers are continuing to search for survivors in the rubble

:01:04. > :01:08.of a supermarket which collapsed on Thursday in the Latvian capital

:01:09. > :01:13.Riga. The number of people known to have died has been rising quickly.

:01:14. > :01:16.It is now 32. Anything up to 50 people may still be trapped in the

:01:17. > :01:20.wreckage of the store, which was built just two years ago. It's still

:01:21. > :01:24.not clear what caused the collapse. Police have begun a criminal

:01:25. > :01:33.investigation. Nick Childs has the latest.

:01:34. > :01:38.The black hole of wreckage of what -- that was a supermarket. Clearly

:01:39. > :01:42.visible on the beginnings of the new roof garden, under construction,

:01:43. > :01:48.which many are pointing to as the cause of collapse. In the first

:01:49. > :01:53.light of morning my rescue workers continued to pick gingerly through

:01:54. > :01:55.the rubble, searching for survivors or more victims are still anxious

:01:56. > :02:04.about the risks of further collapses. Occasionally, the rescue

:02:05. > :02:13.efforts have paused. They don't know how many people are still in there.

:02:14. > :02:16.But we are asking relatives to call the mobile phones of these persons;

:02:17. > :02:19.hear the sound of the phone and no where they can be.

:02:20. > :02:26.hear the sound of the phone and no where they -- and we can here. The

:02:27. > :02:29.anxiety was also clear as the scale of the disaster has become

:02:30. > :02:35.increasingly apparent. Many fear the worst. This man says he believes his

:02:36. > :02:39.wife was in the store. But there is no information about whether she is

:02:40. > :02:44.alive or dead. Whenever she calls, he says, there is no information.

:02:45. > :02:49.Firefighters and rescue workers rushed to the scene after the use of

:02:50. > :02:56.the collapsed just after 6pm Nestle. -- the news. After the emergency

:02:57. > :02:59.services arrived, there was another collapse. At least three whiskey

:03:00. > :03:05.workers are among the dead. -- rescue workers. The minister was

:03:06. > :03:09.quickly on the scene, noting a police enquiry. TRANSLATION: Police

:03:10. > :03:15.have started the investigation already. The process has started

:03:16. > :03:18.about violating construction norms, which has caused serious

:03:19. > :03:22.consequences. Clearly there are many questions about how I'd hoarding

:03:23. > :03:29.just two years old could not be seen such wreckage. -- a building.

:03:30. > :03:40.For now, the focus is on the rescue work and the clear up.

:03:41. > :03:46.Let's go live now to Riga from -- and eight pilot from Britain. What

:03:47. > :03:52.happened? Hello. We were in the building at the time, getting some

:03:53. > :03:58.bits for dinner. There was an almighty crash as the ceiling

:03:59. > :04:08.started to collapse around us. We were plunged into darkness and there

:04:09. > :04:14.was debris all around us. Eyles collapsed and there was produced

:04:15. > :04:21.over the floor. -- Eyles collapsed. There was no warning when nothing at

:04:22. > :04:27.all. It was just completely normal. The store was very busy. There was

:04:28. > :04:33.an initial smash, which sounded like a shelf had collapsed or something.

:04:34. > :04:37.I kind of jumped to see what happened, and it was followed

:04:38. > :04:44.immediately by the sound of the largest section of roof collapsing.

:04:45. > :04:51.What did you do then? I was with my partner. She was at the other end of

:04:52. > :04:56.the aisle. I ran to her. We tend to make our way out of the entrance. We

:04:57. > :05:00.were blocked by more falling debris, and air conditioning duct

:05:01. > :05:07.that fell down. That was followed by torrents of water off the roof, as

:05:08. > :05:14.if it was covered in water. It has been raining for several days here.

:05:15. > :05:17.That was knocking people over. We made our way back into the

:05:18. > :05:25.supermarket and then had to climb over debris, loads and loads of

:05:26. > :05:30.smashed bottles. I went through the vegetables selection and there was

:05:31. > :05:36.fruit and vegetables underneath us. Let me ask you about one particular

:05:37. > :05:40.concern, which is being said by eyewitnesses who are quoted by news

:05:41. > :05:42.agencies are saying the doors with the electronic doors, shut

:05:43. > :05:50.automatically, trapping people inside. Did you experience that? We

:05:51. > :05:54.did not. We couldn't get to where the electronic doors were. However,

:05:55. > :05:58.I did see them afterwards and they were completely smashed. They were

:05:59. > :06:03.blocked by a lot of ceiling that had come down, and pipework and wires

:06:04. > :06:08.and things that were blocking the way. Effectively, the main doors, it

:06:09. > :06:19.was not possible to get out of. Thanks for joining me.

:06:20. > :06:22.Now to the Philippines. It's two weeks since Super Typhoon Haiyan

:06:23. > :06:25.left terrible devastation like this across the centre of the country.

:06:26. > :06:34.Today there has been one remarkable development.

:06:35. > :06:41.Aid agencies say the biggest challenges this psychological

:06:42. > :06:44.effect. Our global health correspondent, Tulip Mazumder, is in

:06:45. > :06:49.the devastated town of Guiuan. That is close to where typhoon Haiyan

:06:50. > :06:53.first struck land. We are greeted by I am not playful

:06:54. > :06:56.children, their smiling faces telling you nothing of what they had

:06:57. > :07:02.been through. Then you see the devastation all around them. The

:07:03. > :07:05.clean-up has started and people are laying the foundations for their new

:07:06. > :07:12.lives. They are resilient but they are traumatised. It could be

:07:13. > :07:18.different. Some people may have headaches... Doctors Without Borders

:07:19. > :07:22.has started to send psychologists into communities. People who have

:07:23. > :07:28.been running on adrenaline starting to feel the strain. This woman says

:07:29. > :07:36.she has nightmares that another typhoon is coming. You only need to

:07:37. > :07:42.scratch the surface and you see tears coming into the islands and

:07:43. > :07:46.you see people getting stressed and trying to look around if there's a

:07:47. > :07:52.where they can relieve their feelings. The uprooted trees, the

:07:53. > :07:56.destroyed buildings, the home is reduced to rubble. All of this will

:07:57. > :08:01.eventually be cleared up. You might be able to see some of the work

:08:02. > :08:08.starting already behind me. But the huge emotional scars left by Haiyan

:08:09. > :08:14.will take much longer to heal. Another downpour, another family sit

:08:15. > :08:22.it out, terrified. Lynn Zillietta lost her father in the typhoon.

:08:23. > :08:35.Every time it is raining, I feel scared.

:08:36. > :08:45.But people are trying to recover and they are looking to life post-. --

:08:46. > :08:51.post Haiyan. This lady gave birth a week ago and she called her son

:08:52. > :08:59.Yolanda. It is to remember the storm. Even though I was going

:09:00. > :09:02.through all that pain during the typhoon, she says, I was still able

:09:03. > :09:13.to give birth to a beautiful, healthy baby.

:09:14. > :09:18.It's described as an ordinary house on an ordinary street. But police

:09:19. > :09:21.here in London have begun an investigation into claims that three

:09:22. > :09:25.women were held there for three decades as modern day slaves. The

:09:26. > :09:28.women, who range in age from 30 to 69, were rescued last month. They'd

:09:29. > :09:38.apparently been held in horrific conditions. A married couple have

:09:39. > :09:42.been arrested and released on bail. The British Home Office minister,

:09:43. > :09:45.James Brokenshire, joins me now. Minister, thanks for making time.

:09:46. > :09:50.What is your reflection on this case, which there are legal

:09:51. > :09:55.restrictions on, but the overall confirmation we have had from the

:09:56. > :10:01.police so far? This is an utterly shocking and extraordinary case, and

:10:02. > :10:05.while the police investigation does continue, from what they have said

:10:06. > :10:08.it is suspected that these three women have been kept in some form of

:10:09. > :10:14.slavery or confinement for potentially decades. It is right the

:10:15. > :10:18.police do pursue the investigation is carefully, with the three women

:10:19. > :10:23.who are deeply traumatised but are now in a place of safety. We support

:10:24. > :10:27.the police in their continuing investigation of this event. You are

:10:28. > :10:32.an interior Minister, and therefore you know or have a good idea of the

:10:33. > :10:35.scale of the challenge here in Britain. Anti-slavery International

:10:36. > :10:44.are making clear this is not a unique case. Sadly not. From the

:10:45. > :10:51.case we continue to see, and there are around 2200 reported in the UK

:10:52. > :10:57.last year, sadly, modern slavery is there. Unlike its spread is as, it

:10:58. > :11:01.is largely out of sight. It is hidden. -- its predecessor. The UK

:11:02. > :11:07.government is focused on there being better understanding, and our law

:11:08. > :11:10.enforcement agencies are seeing this as a priority. We are also

:11:11. > :11:17.introducing tougher legislation to make the offence is more simple and

:11:18. > :11:21.make sure we galvanise more community activity among our

:11:22. > :11:30.agencies. That is an extraordinary number and scale. How do you track

:11:31. > :11:34.these people? If this is correct, 30 years were tracked by anybody. There

:11:35. > :11:39.is a big challenge here for all of us. We must recognise what may

:11:40. > :11:43.literally be within communities. This is something that crosses

:11:44. > :11:46.borders, and we are also working with overseas governments where we

:11:47. > :11:51.have identified countries that we are picking up begins in this

:11:52. > :11:55.country. It is about raising awareness. -- picking up Victims'

:11:56. > :12:03.Code. We are looking to see what may be there, and it is why, for me, as

:12:04. > :12:08.the minister responsible for taking you that a station forward, why I

:12:09. > :12:13.think that matters. Yes, enforcement and having law there is important.

:12:14. > :12:17.But it is how that creates more activity and focus on how we are

:12:18. > :12:21.able to develop that further, which is why we want to see a new

:12:22. > :12:25.Commissioner really assessing the work that is there and driving and

:12:26. > :12:28.holding to account our agencies in the UK to do more, to identify more

:12:29. > :12:35.Victims' Code man to ensure that those responsible for these crimes

:12:36. > :12:43.feel the full force of the law. -- to identify more, and to ensure. You

:12:44. > :12:48.say there have been similar cases in Austria, and one in Ohio. It is

:12:49. > :12:55.clear those who engage in this are meticulous in their ability to cover

:12:56. > :13:02.it up. You are right to highlight the issue of organised crime that

:13:03. > :13:06.does underpin a great deal of the trafficking and the modern slavery

:13:07. > :13:11.we have certainly seen. That is why we have tasked our new National

:13:12. > :13:15.Crime Agency here in the UK, which has the responsibility for combating

:13:16. > :13:19.and confronting the most serious forms of criminality. To have modern

:13:20. > :13:22.slavery as one of their priorities, it is something I have tasked them

:13:23. > :13:30.to do along with the Home Secretary. We will ensure we have a

:13:31. > :13:34.resolute focus, law enforcement standpoint, to look at how we can

:13:35. > :13:39.trace these criminal groups back overseas, potentially, how we can go

:13:40. > :13:44.after their assets, how we can cool the intelligence picture together to

:13:45. > :13:57.really confront modern slavery and consign it to the history books. --

:13:58. > :14:00.we can pool the intelligence. In other news, talks in Geneva on

:14:01. > :14:03.Iran's nuclear programme have entered a crucial third day. Six

:14:04. > :14:06.world powers are seeking an interim deal under which Tehran would curb

:14:07. > :14:10.uranium enrichment in return for the lifting of some international

:14:11. > :14:13.sanctions. The Loya Jirga, the grand Assembly

:14:14. > :14:17.of Aghan elders, is continuing to debate the terms of a long awaited

:14:18. > :14:20.security pact with the US. The final deal was only concluded a few days

:14:21. > :14:24.ago after talks between Hamid Karzai and the US Secretary of State John

:14:25. > :14:28.Kerry. President Karzai has taken the US by surprise by saying it

:14:29. > :14:36.won't be signed off next Spring at the earliest.

:14:37. > :14:39.Here in the UK, the former chairman of the Co-op Bank has been arrested

:14:40. > :14:42.as part of a drugs investigation. Paul Flowers was filmed handing over

:14:43. > :14:46.?300, apparently for Cockayne and other illegal drugs. He left his

:14:47. > :14:49.position as deputy chairman of the Co-op group earlier this year. He's

:14:50. > :14:57.also been suspended from his position as a minister in the

:14:58. > :15:08.Methodist church. Still to come... The brightest space

:15:09. > :15:11.explosion ever recorded, we will explain the cosmic blast spotted

:15:12. > :15:16.earlier this year. At just 22, Magnus Carlsen is on the

:15:17. > :15:23.brink of clinching the world chess title. He is playing against the

:15:24. > :15:35.current world to be, I too. -- world champion, Viswanathan Anand from

:15:36. > :15:39.India. The BBC have been to see him in action. Magnus Carlsen has had a

:15:40. > :15:43.phenomenal rise as a chess player. He became a grandmaster at the age

:15:44. > :15:52.of 13 and there has been no looking back ever since. He is seen as a

:15:53. > :15:59.breath of fresh air in an otherwise -- breath of fresh air. Tell us find

:16:00. > :16:13.a personality Magnus Carlsen is, what makes him different? He has a

:16:14. > :16:16.very normal personality. His friends are quite similar. He has a

:16:17. > :16:25.brilliant talent for chess and it is totally unique, and you don't see

:16:26. > :16:29.that very often. It is very difficult to explain why he is so

:16:30. > :16:33.good. There are many people putting in the same hours and doing the same

:16:34. > :16:40.things, but he is the one that is the best. He has brought a

:16:41. > :16:46.digression into the game which is not normally seen in this sort of

:16:47. > :16:53.way. -- and aggression. What sort of person is he and what makes him so

:16:54. > :17:00.good at this game? He is a true fighter. He plays until the end. He

:17:01. > :17:06.tries to win until there are no more chances. He does not compromise. He

:17:07. > :17:18.takes it into a more fighting for manages to be. -- into a more

:17:19. > :17:24.fighting form than it used to be. He is just like a normal 22-year-old -

:17:25. > :17:29.what does that mean? He loves to follow sports, he is very interested

:17:30. > :17:34.in soccer and American basketball. He loves all kinds of sports, he

:17:35. > :17:43.loves to hang out with friends. He plays video games at home. He is

:17:44. > :17:53.pretty normal, aside from chess. You are with BBC World News. The

:17:54. > :17:57.urgent struggle to find survivors in a Latvian supermarket after the roof

:17:58. > :18:03.collapsed killing 32 people. Two weeks after Typhoon Haiyan hit the

:18:04. > :18:09.Philippines, the long-term cost for survivors, the psychological impact

:18:10. > :18:13.and the trauma. Let's move on with one of the few

:18:14. > :18:18.moments in history when those who were alive always remember where

:18:19. > :18:24.they were - exactly 50 years ago today, John F Kennedy was

:18:25. > :18:27.assassinated in Dallas, Texas. The events are indelibly stamped on the

:18:28. > :18:32.memories of many Americans. Here are some of their stories.

:18:33. > :18:49.Something has happened in the motorcade. My name is Patricia. I

:18:50. > :18:53.was working as a nurse. I drove my car in towards the hospital and I

:18:54. > :19:00.could hear the noise of all the sirens, which seemed louder and more

:19:01. > :19:06.urgent than normal. The president has been rushed to hospital. There

:19:07. > :19:12.were bad novel lot of people milling around. I think I saw Mrs Kennedy.

:19:13. > :19:17.We were not told at that time that he had died. It hit us all very

:19:18. > :19:25.hard. I am a presidential historian. I have written to MacBooks about

:19:26. > :19:29.John Kennedy. There was a small crowd gathered around an

:19:30. > :19:34.automobile, listening to the radio. They seemed quite agitated. I

:19:35. > :19:40.stopped and said, what is happening? They said, the president has been

:19:41. > :19:43.shot. I went home and turned on the television and Walter Cronkite was

:19:44. > :19:50.announcing that the president was dead. President Kennedy died at 1pm

:19:51. > :19:58.Central standard Time, two o'clock Eastern standard Time, some 38

:19:59. > :20:01.minutes ago. One place JFK will always be

:20:02. > :20:05.remembered is Germany. He made history by visiting at the height of

:20:06. > :20:19.the Cold War and declaring to the recently divided city, ich bin ein

:20:20. > :20:26.Berliner. Today, in the world of freedom the

:20:27. > :20:35.proudest boast is, ich bin ein Berliner. Let's go to the heart of

:20:36. > :20:44.Berlin. This used to be in East Berlin, what is the feeling today

:20:45. > :20:50.about Kennedy? There is a lot of reflection, really. He came in an

:20:51. > :20:55.open topped car, oblivious to security, justly so, just in that

:20:56. > :21:04.road with the Chancellor of Germany at the time, and old man. You saw

:21:05. > :21:08.this young, bouffant haired world leader looking over into communism.

:21:09. > :21:15.You played his speech earlier. One of the people who was in that

:21:16. > :21:25.audience is Winnifred, who is with me now. What do you remember? I

:21:26. > :21:28.remember the atmosphere. It was like Royalty coming to Berlin. There had

:21:29. > :21:33.been anxiety about the security status and then there was the

:21:34. > :21:38.representative of the leading world power and he had this vigorous

:21:39. > :21:47.attitude, this optimism and authority. It was eight laureates

:21:48. > :21:54.moment. -- it was a glorious moment. And it affected the country? Yes, he

:21:55. > :21:56.was the ideal American. It made it possible for Germans to identify

:21:57. > :22:03.with and put its hopes on America. We were all very confident that a

:22:04. > :22:08.different and better future would begin. On this day exactly 50 years

:22:09. > :22:18.ago, the day of his death, what was the feeling? The feeling was one of

:22:19. > :22:25.relief, because there had been threats? No, the assassination. That

:22:26. > :22:37.was the flip side of that. There was complete disbelief and traumatic

:22:38. > :22:44.reactions. I can remember when I heard the news first, I can remember

:22:45. > :22:50.the colour of the furniture. You never forget the moment, it was

:22:51. > :22:57.terrible. I can see your eyes going moist? Kennedy mobilised a certain

:22:58. > :23:00.strong emotion, you identify strongly with him. He incorporated

:23:01. > :23:11.certain hoax and then all of a sudden this hero had fallen. It is a

:23:12. > :23:23.very sad moment. Everybody who was told and remembers knows exactly

:23:24. > :23:30.where they were at that moment. Astronomers call it The Monster, the

:23:31. > :23:39.brightest cosmic explosion ever recorded. A report in the journal,

:23:40. > :23:47.Science, says it was sported earlier -- spotted earlier this year. I am

:23:48. > :23:52.joined by Rebecca Morelle. This is a fantastic artist's impression. This

:23:53. > :23:58.was a monstrous radiation blast. It is known as a gamma ray burst. These

:23:59. > :24:03.are relatively rare events. There is one about every 1 million years.

:24:04. > :24:14.They are caused by the death of a star, a particular type of star

:24:15. > :24:21.which is massive, bigger than our own Son. It creates a massive black

:24:22. > :24:25.coal and also creates energy, which flings itself across the university.

:24:26. > :24:33.They are quite spectacular. Where did it happen? It was in our cosmic

:24:34. > :24:39.neighbourhood. It was close. It was about a quarter of the universe a

:24:40. > :24:43.way which in space times is not far. Most of the gamma ray bursts spotted

:24:44. > :24:50.happen far away. What is exciting about this is the distance. It

:24:51. > :24:56.happened four billion years ago. It has just taken all of that time, for

:24:57. > :25:01.the light of that event to reach us. A quarter of a universe a way, I

:25:02. > :25:07.do not know how you measure that. Would we have filtered on earth?

:25:08. > :25:11.Luckily for us, our atmosphere is good at absorbing radiation from

:25:12. > :25:16.these events. It would be a different story if one happened in

:25:17. > :25:20.our own galaxy, save 1000 light years away. If this happened the

:25:21. > :25:25.radiation would blast off our ozone layer, causing devastation to all
