:00:00. > :00:10.Hello. I'm Geeta Guru-Murthy with BBC World News. Our top stories:
:00:11. > :00:15.French riot police evict hundreds of people from a makeshift camp near
:00:16. > :00:22.Calais. Hundreds of migrants flood into a
:00:23. > :00:25.Spanish enclave near Morocco. Thailand's military readers have
:00:26. > :00:28.released 120 critics of the government but the military crisis

:00:50. > :00:51.Hundreds of migrants from around the world are being evicted
:00:52. > :00:55.by riot police from illegal camps outside the French port of Calais.
:00:56. > :00:57.Many have been camped there for months
:00:58. > :01:01.and some have tried to smuggle themselves into Britain on trucks.
:01:02. > :01:07.French authorities say an outbreak of scabies and a lack of
:01:08. > :01:10.running water pose a health risk - and the site needs to be bulldozed.
:01:11. > :01:14.Our correspondent Paul Adams is at the site and has been following
:01:15. > :01:23.The police have been here about an hour now and they're just starting
:01:24. > :01:28.to make their second sweep through the camp. This is the Syrian camp
:01:29. > :01:35.right next to the port. The police are working their way through my
:01:36. > :01:38.tent by tent, looking inside, seeing who is in there. There have been
:01:39. > :01:42.announcements on loudspeakers telling people that they need to
:01:43. > :01:45.move on. Nobody knows where they're supposed to go. There are buses
:01:46. > :01:49.parked on the road behind the camp. Nobody knows where the buses are
:01:50. > :01:53.going to take them. But in the meantime, the police, quite quietly
:01:54. > :01:58.working through, looking in the tense, checking to see if anyone is
:01:59. > :01:59.still in there. At some point, we expect this whole camp to be
:02:00. > :02:24.bulldozed. ANNOUNCEMENT OVER LOUDSPEAKER.
:02:25. > :02:30.She's basically saying that they have to do this immediately. They
:02:31. > :02:33.have to go immediately. But there is this terrific uncertainty about
:02:34. > :02:37.where people are supposed to go. Some of the migrants are huddled by
:02:38. > :02:41.a feeding station on the other side of the road, thinking they can maybe
:02:42. > :02:47.stay there safely, and the buses are waiting there. But in the meantime,
:02:48. > :02:50.this slow, steady process of clearing up the camp, which has been
:02:51. > :02:55.expected for the last couple of days, continues. This is the first
:02:56. > :03:00.time this has happened. We had the clearing of the Sangatte camp back
:03:01. > :03:04.in 2002. Other makeshift camps around Calais have been erected on
:03:05. > :03:09.the demolished over the years. This is the latest in a series of
:03:10. > :03:13.repeating episodes. This camp has expanded dramatically in the last
:03:14. > :03:18.few months, to the point where the authorities clearly believe that it
:03:19. > :03:21.poses a danger to public health. There is talk about an outbreak of
:03:22. > :03:25.scabies and we've seen people being treated for that. But the
:03:26. > :03:31.authorities feel that the time has come for this large camp to be
:03:32. > :03:35.removed and any of those health dangers to be removed with it. But
:03:36. > :03:42.with that operation comes this terrific level of uncertainty.
:03:43. > :03:45.Paul Adamson Calais. The daily movement of people searching Sibley
:03:46. > :03:49.for a better life continues in North Africa. About 1000 people have tried
:03:50. > :03:56.to storm the border between Morocco and Spanish on clave. The Spanish
:03:57. > :03:59.authorities say 400 people managed to climb a fence and enter the
:04:00. > :04:05.Spanish territory and they will now stay at an immigration centre. Some
:04:06. > :04:08.might be transferred to the Spanish mainland but authorities say most
:04:09. > :04:12.will eventually be returned to their countries of origin in sub-Saharan
:04:13. > :04:16.Africa. Our Madrid correspondent has more.
:04:17. > :04:22.We were in the enclave in the last few weeks and we crossed from their
:04:23. > :04:26.into Morocco. We went into the hills to these makeshift camps where tens
:04:27. > :04:31.of thousands of migrants originally from sub-Saharan African countries
:04:32. > :04:34.are living in basic conditions. The thing is is important to note is
:04:35. > :04:42.that they are determined to cross into Europe and Spain. They have to
:04:43. > :04:47.scale a border fence of around six metres high, with barbed wire. In
:04:48. > :04:50.recent weeks, there has been more pressure on that border and what we
:04:51. > :04:54.saw this morning is that large groups of the migrants, in their
:04:55. > :04:57.hundreds, go down to the border fence and essentially storm it. They
:04:58. > :05:03.have to scale this large border fence and this morning, latest
:05:04. > :05:08.reports are estimating that about 2000 migrants attempted crossing and
:05:09. > :05:14.police in that part of Spain say 400 were successful.
:05:15. > :05:19.Those pictures speak volumes, the images we're looking at, Tom, of
:05:20. > :05:22.people claiming the fences. But I've interviewed many people who have
:05:23. > :05:27.crossed from all over the world to try to get into Europe and they
:05:28. > :05:31.leave behind family, home, because they are desperate to do any kind of
:05:32. > :05:39.work possible to get money. And that huge flow cannot be stopped by
:05:40. > :05:42.fences and gates, can it? It can't and Spanish authorities have
:05:43. > :05:47.invested more money on the border fence to try to deter some of the
:05:48. > :05:49.migrants trying to scale it but it hasn't worked because we've seen
:05:50. > :05:54.these pictures on numerous occasions over the last few weeks and months.
:05:55. > :05:58.Spain says it needs more help from the EU to bolster up the border and
:05:59. > :06:02.they say that more work needs to be done to tackle the Mafia is that
:06:03. > :06:06.they say traffic the migrants from their countries of origin in
:06:07. > :06:10.sub-Saharan Africa up to Morocco, from where they tried to make the
:06:11. > :06:14.crossing into Europe. They say more work needs to be done in those
:06:15. > :06:19.countries of origin to educate the migrants about the realities of life
:06:20. > :06:23.when you get here. What we saw is that the migrants, although they
:06:24. > :06:28.live in this temporary immigration centre at the expense of the Spanish
:06:29. > :06:32.taxpayer, none of them can work illegally and most of them don't
:06:33. > :06:37.work. Some end up washing cars on the streets but essentially, they
:06:38. > :06:41.are in limbo. They stay there. There are long, lengthy bureaucratic
:06:42. > :06:47.processes to try to present their claims and some may make it to the
:06:48. > :06:48.Spanish mainland but most will make it back to their countries of
:06:49. > :06:54.origin. The Thai Army says it's released
:06:55. > :06:57.124 people who were taken into One of the conditions
:06:58. > :07:01.for their release is that they must avoid any political activity, and
:07:02. > :07:04.tell the military of any travel. The army summoned around 253
:07:05. > :07:07.people over the last week. You can see this convoy bringing
:07:08. > :07:09.prominent political figures, activists and academics to
:07:10. > :07:13.a military facility. The army says 76 are still
:07:14. > :07:17.in custody. Thailand's former prime minister,
:07:18. > :07:21.Yingluck Shinawatra, has been released but she's still
:07:22. > :07:24.under some restrictions. But red shirt leaders who support
:07:25. > :07:31.Yingluck are still being held. The military junta broadcast
:07:32. > :07:34.these pictures today of them to There is still scepticism
:07:35. > :07:39.about the total number of people in custody, with reports
:07:40. > :07:41.of more widespread detentions. But leaders of the two main
:07:42. > :07:44.anti-government movements - Buddhist monk Luang Buddha Issara, seen here,
:07:45. > :07:47.who's the leader of the Chaeng Watthana movement, and Suthep
:07:48. > :07:50.Thaugsuban, who's the leader of the People's Democratic Reform
:07:51. > :07:51.Committee, which is the largest protest group -
:07:52. > :08:04.have also now been released. The Army gave a press conference
:08:05. > :08:11.this morning in which they announced that of the 250 people they've
:08:12. > :08:17.summoned over the last week, 124 have come in, been detained and then
:08:18. > :08:22.released. A group had chosen not to report about 50 of them. There were
:08:23. > :08:27.76 people still in custody with the military. In the last few minutes,
:08:28. > :08:29.we've learned, perhaps more significantly, that the leadership
:08:30. > :08:37.group of one of the protest movements here, broadly known as the
:08:38. > :08:42.Read Shirt movement, their leadership was taken as the coup was
:08:43. > :08:47.taken last Thursday, and have now been released. It isn't clear
:08:48. > :08:53.exactly what will happen to them. Yesterday, when the PDR see, the
:08:54. > :08:56.anti-government group, were released, they were taken straight
:08:57. > :09:00.to court and charged with insurrection. We will have to see
:09:01. > :09:03.what happens to these leaders from the other movement. We tried to
:09:04. > :09:06.speak to some of them but they don't want to talk. There are restrictions
:09:07. > :09:10.associated with being released. We'll have to see whether they are
:09:11. > :09:14.genuinely free or are also taken to court.
:09:15. > :09:18.STUDIO: The restrictions sound pretty severe. The government is
:09:19. > :09:25.obviously still very fearful. Yes, they don't want an organised
:09:26. > :09:30.opposition to this military takeover gathering strength. So we don't know
:09:31. > :09:36.for certain what conditions these people have agreed to on their
:09:37. > :09:41.release. We've been told that in the case of Yingluck Shinawatra, she had
:09:42. > :09:45.to agree to take a step back from politics and inform the military of
:09:46. > :09:49.all her movements. We understand that similar conditions are being
:09:50. > :09:52.applied to others when they are being released. Certainly, of those
:09:53. > :09:57.people who have been in detention over the last week or so, none of
:09:58. > :10:00.them have really wanted to talk about their experience or comment on
:10:01. > :10:03.what is happening politically, so one would imagine they have been
:10:04. > :10:08.given a pretty stern warning in military detention not to come out
:10:09. > :10:16.and be active politically, not to criticise what's been happening.
:10:17. > :10:24.With me is Michael Bristow from the BBC World Service. What does this
:10:25. > :10:27.all mean? Well, the army, to my mind, appears to be giving the
:10:28. > :10:31.impression that it is releasing these people and life is getting
:10:32. > :10:35.back to some kind of normality, that they will not be too Draconian. But
:10:36. > :10:39.as we just heard in that report, people have been released but have
:10:40. > :10:44.been very quiet, suggesting they've been put under some kind of
:10:45. > :10:48.restrictions or pressure. So even though they're out of military
:10:49. > :10:52.control, they are not free to do what they want to do - to organise
:10:53. > :10:56.protests, speak out against a military coup and that kind of
:10:57. > :11:00.thing. So while the army might be giving the impression these people
:11:01. > :11:06.are free, they're not really freak. The army is still very much under
:11:07. > :11:10.control. -- not really free. What do people think about the fact there is
:11:11. > :11:14.this very strong military rule? People are quite divided, along the
:11:15. > :11:20.lines that they were divided before the military coup. Those who want an
:11:21. > :11:23.end to the government of Yingluck Shinawatra are quite happy. They see
:11:24. > :11:27.the Army as a saviour who have come to sort out Thailand's political
:11:28. > :11:32.problems, bring stability where there was none, but many people -
:11:33. > :11:36.and some of them have staged small protests - say this is the end of
:11:37. > :11:40.democracy and they want elections to come back as soon as possible. They
:11:41. > :11:44.think the military taking over is a step backwards and a return to
:11:45. > :11:51.dictatorship. Is there any prospect of that? So far, the General who has
:11:52. > :11:54.taken over control of the country has given vague assurances that
:11:55. > :11:59.reforms will come in and there will be elections down the line but he's
:12:00. > :12:03.given no real firm undertakings about when that will happen. In
:12:04. > :12:07.fact, two journalists who pressed him at a press conference quite
:12:08. > :12:12.vigorously about the timetable of how the Army was controlling the
:12:13. > :12:17.country, he told them to stop asking aggressive questions. The Army is in
:12:18. > :12:22.control and we're not sure what they will do with the power they've got.
:12:23. > :12:26.According to new research, nearly a third of people in Britain
:12:27. > :12:30.The information from the British Social Attitudes survey
:12:31. > :12:32.shows 30% of those questioned describe themselves as either
:12:33. > :12:35."very" or "a little" prejudiced against people of other races.
:12:36. > :12:39.The figures show wide variations - with people in London reporting the
:12:40. > :12:43.The US State Department has warned American citizens in Libya to leave
:12:44. > :12:45.the country immediately, saying that the situation there is
:12:46. > :12:49.The US has already announced it's deploying an amphibious assault ship
:12:50. > :12:52.for any possible evacuation of American embassy personnel.
:12:53. > :12:55.Gunmen have killed four police officers in Tunisia in an attack
:12:56. > :12:58.on the home of the interior minister in the capital Tunis.
:12:59. > :13:01.A ministry spokesman said the minister was not at home
:13:02. > :13:24.Stay with us. Much more to come. It's Pharell Williams, producer to
:13:25. > :13:31.the stars, talking to us about being a global sensation.
:13:32. > :13:35.There have been more anti-World Cup protests in Brazil - with the
:13:36. > :13:39.The latest violence was in the capital Brasilia, where
:13:40. > :13:41.around 1,000 people clashed with police in a demonstration against
:13:42. > :13:55.Around 1000 homeless workers and indigenous groups from central
:13:56. > :14:02.Brazil marched towards the huge stadium in the capital, Brasilia.
:14:03. > :14:06.Dressed in traditional costumes, some with bows and arrows, the
:14:07. > :14:11.protesters were met in the middle of the highway by armed riot police,
:14:12. > :14:18.head to toe in protective body armour. As troops opened fire with
:14:19. > :14:22.tear gas and stun grenades, protesters scattered. Some turned to
:14:23. > :14:29.fire their primitive weapons as they fled. Seven World Cup games will be
:14:30. > :14:34.played in the Brasilia Stadium, the most costly of Brazil's 12 venues
:14:35. > :14:39.which, according to some reports, has cost $900 million to build.
:14:40. > :14:45.That's money, say protesters, that should have been directed elsewhere
:14:46. > :14:48.- to social housing and other projects - especially as Brasilia
:14:49. > :14:54.doesn't even have a major football team to use the stadium after the
:14:55. > :14:57.World Cup. More worryingly for the Brazilian government, these events
:14:58. > :15:03.perhaps confirm their concerns that there will be relatively small, but
:15:04. > :15:08.the surfer, protests during the World Cup itself. And how Brazil's
:15:09. > :15:09.military police deal with such demonstrations under the gaze of the
:15:10. > :15:19.world's beauty is a big question. Now I can show you an amateur video
:15:20. > :15:23.that has emerged of a tornado in It ripped through a trailer park,
:15:24. > :15:27.injuring at least nine people, It was filmed near Watford City
:15:28. > :15:32.on Monday, by a resident from a neighbouring camp, who quite smartly
:15:33. > :15:51.got in his car to drive away. This is BBC world News. The top
:15:52. > :15:57.stories: Migrants have been evicted from their camp in France, many are
:15:58. > :16:03.being treated for scabies. Around 1000 people have tried to storm the
:16:04. > :16:08.border between Morocco and Spanish conclave. The authorities said
:16:09. > :16:12.around migrants managed to claim offence there. A fire at a hospital
:16:13. > :16:17.in South Korea has killed 21 people and injured many others. The fire
:16:18. > :16:23.was in the southwestern county. Most of the patients were elderly, one is
:16:24. > :16:27.being questioned on suspicion of arson.
:16:28. > :16:34.This was meant to be a place of safety for the aged. The elderly
:16:35. > :16:39.residents of this hospital, the sick, the senile, stroke victims,
:16:40. > :16:43.were woken by fire on Wednesday morning. Those on the upper floors
:16:44. > :16:52.bore the brunt of the smoke. One of the nurses was also found dead. The
:16:53. > :16:57.total number of dead is 21. Six were heavily injured, one has a minor
:16:58. > :17:03.injury. 34 people in total were on that floor. This is the second time
:17:04. > :17:07.this week Koreans have watched a fire take the lives of their
:17:08. > :17:14.countrymen. A blaze at a bus terminal north of the capital left
:17:15. > :17:18.seven people dead. Divers are searching for the bodies of those
:17:19. > :17:28.killed in the ferry disaster last month, which claimed 300 lives. The
:17:29. > :17:31.president blamed it on a lack of checks and safety procedures and
:17:32. > :17:38.vowed to make South Korea a safer place to live.
:17:39. > :17:47.Boeing has begun for a third day in Egypt, where voters are choosing
:17:48. > :17:56.their president. The election has been extended to try to boost
:17:57. > :18:03.turnout, which has been bad. The response from the voters is not very
:18:04. > :18:06.encouraging. More than three hours ago, the polling stations have
:18:07. > :18:11.opened their doors, and yet the number of photos who have shored up
:18:12. > :18:15.are very few, despite the fact that the electoral commission has
:18:16. > :18:22.extended the voting for one extra day. So far we have seen that this
:18:23. > :18:27.decision has not encouraged voters to show up, Cass the vote and choose
:18:28. > :18:37.the next president. The turnout has been going down gradually. On the
:18:38. > :18:45.first day it was pretty crowded. It went down on the second day, and to
:18:46. > :18:51.day -- today it is very quiet. We have spoken to the electoral
:18:52. > :18:57.representatives and he said the turnout in this city is around 40%.
:18:58. > :19:01.Here we have 3 million eligible voters, it is the second-largest
:19:02. > :19:10.city in Egypt, but we are getting mixed reactions concerning this
:19:11. > :19:15.decision of extending the voting. The Hamdeen Sabahi campaign said
:19:16. > :19:24.this is a political manipulation and they are aware of vote rigging, on
:19:25. > :19:27.the other hand there is a suggestion that this gives the impression the
:19:28. > :19:33.turnout is low and they believe this is not true. A murder mystery is
:19:34. > :19:36.gripping Japan. These have been searching the apartment of a
:19:37. > :19:42.Japanese- Brazilian woman in Tokyo after the body of a 29-year-old
:19:43. > :19:48.nurse was found in a storage locker nearby. The body of Rika Okada had
:19:49. > :19:53.been sent to an address in Tokyo from Osaka in a parcel. This is one
:19:54. > :19:59.of the last pictures of 29-year-old Rika Okada before she disappeared in
:20:00. > :20:03.late March. On her Facebook page she said she was going to see an old
:20:04. > :20:08.friend she had not seen for at least a decade. Over a month later, her
:20:09. > :20:13.body was found stuffed into this storage locker on the outskirts of
:20:14. > :20:17.Tokyo, more than 400 kilometres from her home in Osaka. Even more
:20:18. > :20:23.bizarre, her body had apparently been posted here from Osaka in a two
:20:24. > :20:31.metre long parcel labelled as containing a doll. The postage had
:20:32. > :20:35.been paid with her own credit card. The story gets even stranger. This
:20:36. > :20:42.apartment being searched in Tokyo was home to a Japanese -Brazilian
:20:43. > :20:46.woman, an old schoolmate of Rika Okada, and now the chief suspect.
:20:47. > :20:51.After she disappeared, a woman fitting the suspect's description
:20:52. > :20:57.went to this passport office in Osaka and applied for a new passport
:20:58. > :21:03.in her name. Earlier this month, that woman used the passport to
:21:04. > :21:09.leave Japan and fly to Shanghai. Once there, she continued to use her
:21:10. > :21:21.credit card, reportedly racking up bills of at least 10,000 dollars.
:21:22. > :21:32.To Pakistan next, where the Taliban insurgents eight may be splitting. A
:21:33. > :21:34.commander has left the organisation because of differences over
:21:35. > :21:41.negotiations with the government. The group says it is in favour of
:21:42. > :21:52.the stocks -- discussions regarding peace. This is a split group, the
:21:53. > :21:59.head has support of tribesman. Remember, when the umbrella group
:22:00. > :22:03.was formed in 2007, most of the foot soldiers were from this trade. Two
:22:04. > :22:10.of the leaders came from the leaders came from this tripe, but in
:22:11. > :22:21.November there was a struggle for the top slot. -- from this tribe.
:22:22. > :22:24.Since then, we have been hearing reports of infighting within the
:22:25. > :22:33.Pakistani Taliban. Today they came out openly, this group has a lot of
:22:34. > :22:39.supporters and this is being seen as a major blow to the strength of the
:22:40. > :22:48.Pakistani Taliban. A little bit of light relief before we go, because
:22:49. > :22:54.Pharrell Williams has been releasing lots of hits and is behind a lot of
:22:55. > :22:58.them. He has released lots of them in the past year, but it is not just
:22:59. > :23:06.about the music, as the BBC discovered.
:23:07. > :23:15.Listening to your album, a lot of it reminds me of things, there is huge,
:23:16. > :23:28.sweeping orchestral moments in it that are wildly romantic. The
:23:29. > :23:36.strings are all done and arranged by Hans Zimmer. It was written to left.
:23:37. > :23:50.You said it is written to left. If there is anything that can lift
:23:51. > :23:56.anybody it is Happy. It was written for a movie, and I ended up writing
:23:57. > :24:06.nine different attempts for that scene and nothing worked. 48% of the
:24:07. > :24:14.success is the animation team for pushing me, they would say it was
:24:15. > :24:18.close, but no cigar. So when I finally got to ten, and they liked
:24:19. > :24:25.it, I attributed it to them pushing me. The thing I notice from your
:24:26. > :24:30.latest songs is you really love women. Who doesn't? They have been
:24:31. > :24:35.good to me over the past 20 years. There is a lot that they go to that
:24:36. > :24:39.we as men will never be able to understand. We can read about it, we
:24:40. > :24:46.can study it, but until we walk in your shoes we do not know what it is
:24:47. > :24:55.like. For me, I want to talk about that little bit and spread some of
:24:56. > :25:00.that message on my album, and just try and push your fight. There is
:25:01. > :25:05.one woman we have not spoken about, Hillary Clinton. Would you like to
:25:06. > :25:10.see a female president? I would love to. Would you support her? Of
:25:11. > :25:16.course. Why would you feel strongly about that? There will be a lot of
:25:17. > :25:20.people who say politics should not be gender specific, but women are
:25:21. > :25:28.not treated equally in politics, definitely not in society, and what
:25:29. > :25:32.would a world be like if we had 75% of world leaders or prime
:25:33. > :25:39.ministers, presidents, female? That would be very different. I think
:25:40. > :25:52.that it is a change that is going to come and I think she would be
:25:53. > :25:57.perfect. Do you look back over the last couple of years now and think,
:25:58. > :26:03.did that all really happen? I am just as shocked to do this interview
:26:04. > :26:09.with you because I know how much of a big deal this is, what this means
:26:10. > :26:14.in this country. I am ever so grateful because I never expected
:26:15. > :26:20.any of this, the only thing I expected to do was to continue to be
:26:21. > :26:24.the guy standing next to the guy, but for whatever reason, you guys
:26:25. > :26:30.have offered me the opportunity to express myself as an artist, and the
:26:31. > :26:34.people were very patient with me and I will be loyal to the grooves and
:26:35. > :26:41.things that feel good. Thank you from all of us. That is brilliant.
:26:42. > :26:48.Thank you. Pharrell Williams. Get in touch with us to let us know what
:26:49. > :26:51.you think. A reminder of the top story, the French authorities have
:26:52. > :26:55.cleared hundreds of people from illegal migration camps because of
:26:56. > :26:58.bad sanitation and no running water. The people they said they had
:26:59. > :27:02.nowhere else to go. Goodbye.
