:01:08. > :01:33.much-maligned image? Good evening. The success of
:01:34. > :01:37.anti-immigration parties in the European elections comes against a
:01:38. > :01:41.background on the rise against irregular migrants reaching Europe.
:01:42. > :01:50.It is bound to add to the current debate. In the first four months of
:01:51. > :01:57.this year, more than 60,000 years migrants tried to enter Europe from
:01:58. > :02:10.North Africa. We followed one group being smuggled out of Libya. In an
:02:11. > :02:20.isolated room, a door opens to: Anshuman misery.
:02:21. > :02:24.Nearly 400 million, illegal immigrants from across Africa, are
:02:25. > :02:37.held here. There was barely room to sit and
:02:38. > :02:46.certainly not sleep. They are sick and Hungary. Most are trying to get
:02:47. > :03:00.to Europe. Our smugglers trying to get you to Europe? Did you pay them?
:03:01. > :03:07.We give them 1600 euros. We find a man on the floor with bullet wounds.
:03:08. > :03:15.This is the moment when some of those are captured. The armed Coast
:03:16. > :03:23.Guard finds them. They were heading for Italy, but the engine cut out
:03:24. > :03:28.after four hours may have been drifting for two days. The water and
:03:29. > :03:36.food had run and it is pure luck that the Coast Guard found them. The
:03:37. > :03:46.commander of the rescue said this is Europe's problem is much as that of
:03:47. > :03:52.Libya. We need the European Union to buy boats and helicopters for search
:03:53. > :04:01.operations. Countries such as Italy are not serious about fighting this.
:04:02. > :04:07.On the cause, it is the people smugglers, and not the authorities,
:04:08. > :04:13.who have the advantage. The Navy see the need much more in the way of
:04:14. > :04:18.boats and helicopters. They also need a lot more body bags, for the
:04:19. > :04:25.amount of dead migrants they are picking up in boats and from the
:04:26. > :04:31.water. We are taken on board. It is so full of bodies of migrants, he
:04:32. > :04:41.simply has too jammed the door closed. Once, there were only three
:04:42. > :04:47.a year, no it is eight journeys a week. The men are crossing into
:04:48. > :04:52.Libya know they are not welcome. They are promised jobs in Newark.

:05:30. > :05:39.Europe and she joins us live from Brussels.
:05:40. > :05:45.How far as this rise in numbers due to the fact that the immigration
:05:46. > :05:50.policy in New York is not working? We have seen the rise this year, but
:05:51. > :05:56.they have been fluctuating for the past decade. It is not a new
:05:57. > :06:05.problem. The problem shifts in the southern border every time and
:06:06. > :06:10.again. One of the problems is actually putting together a policy.
:06:11. > :06:19.The Italian coastguard have been very active over the past six
:06:20. > :06:27.months, but there has not been an easy solution. You end up with a
:06:28. > :06:33.compromise. You get the likes of Italy and Malta scene, we need more
:06:34. > :06:36.funds and better sources and more coordination at European Union level
:06:37. > :06:42.because we are the ones bearing the brunt of this influx. As the
:06:43. > :06:48.European Union doing enough to attend to those demands? I think the
:06:49. > :06:51.difference between the European Union and the member states, the
:06:52. > :06:57.European Union has used all its funding possible to pursue these
:06:58. > :07:05.operations in the Mediterranean. However, it is a drop in the ocean,
:07:06. > :07:09.forgive the pun. Action needs to be done and a lot has to be applied to
:07:10. > :07:14.a proper search and rescue operation. There has to be a lot
:07:15. > :07:19.more partnerships with the third world countries, not simply just
:07:20. > :07:25.North Africa, for the beyond. We need to understand how these
:07:26. > :07:28.networks are moving. There are enormous resources that could be
:07:29. > :07:32.applied. This applies to member states and the European Union coming
:07:33. > :07:38.together and admitting that they will need to put money at this
:07:39. > :07:43.problem. Are we going to see a shift when it comes to migration policy in
:07:44. > :07:48.the European Union as a result of some of the successors of the
:07:49. > :07:55.anti-immigration parties, such as the National front in France? I
:07:56. > :08:01.think you will see a drop in political coverage from the
:08:02. > :08:06.mainstream parties in Europe. In the Italian election, extremist groups
:08:07. > :08:11.did not do well. It suggests, there is a need to address the problem in
:08:12. > :08:21.the Mediterranean. It obviously resonates with the electorate. Many
:08:22. > :08:25.mainstream parties could actually be at the forefront of finding the
:08:26. > :08:28.solution, if they have the confidence to speak up about it.
:08:29. > :08:31.The government in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh where
:08:32. > :08:34.two teenage girls were gang-raped and then hanged from a tree has
:08:35. > :08:37.pledged to set up a special fasttrack court to try the suspects.
:08:38. > :08:40.The announcement comes after criticism by the victims'
:08:41. > :08:43.families that it took more than 12 hours for police to respond after
:08:44. > :08:48.The brutal killings took place in a remote village in Budaun district,
:08:49. > :09:07.It was a heart-wrenching scene. Two girls, just 14 and 16, were found
:09:08. > :09:14.dead. Their bodies were found hanging from this mango tree. They
:09:15. > :09:20.had also been gang raped. We were ready to go to the police station. A
:09:21. > :09:24.police officer came to me and said even the girls were hanging from a
:09:25. > :09:33.tree. Relatives of claimed the police have refused to help, because
:09:34. > :09:38.they were from a law passed. One police officer has been suspended
:09:39. > :09:44.and another sacked. Whatever happened, this is wrong. It is a
:09:45. > :09:48.very serious issue and we will take the strictest action against the
:09:49. > :09:53.culprits. The gang rape of a student on a bus in barely two years ago
:09:54. > :10:00.brought the issue to the front of the agenda in the country. The
:10:01. > :10:08.number of reported rapes since has almost doubled. Today, students took
:10:09. > :10:11.to the streets in protest at the gruesome murder of the women. The
:10:12. > :10:18.bodies of the women have been brought down, but the brutal
:10:19. > :10:21.violence that unfolded here has again brought forward the issue of
:10:22. > :10:28.violent crimes against women in India. The villagers are hoping the
:10:29. > :10:32.global media attention will help them in the fight for justice. A
:10:33. > :10:36.terrible case the pain India. The internet giant Google is
:10:37. > :10:38.starting to accept requests from people in Europe who want personal
:10:39. > :10:41.information about them removed from online search results. The move
:10:42. > :10:44.comes after a landmark European Union court ruling earlier this
:10:45. > :10:59.month, which gave people the "right If you Google yourself and do not
:11:00. > :11:08.like what you find, you can contact the search engine and do something
:11:09. > :11:16.about it. You can have a relevant data erased. You simply have to
:11:17. > :11:22.inform them as to why this should be removed. This came after a ruling at
:11:23. > :11:32.the European Court. He said they noticed about his repossessed home
:11:33. > :11:35.infringed his privacy. Google is responsible for nearly 90% of
:11:36. > :11:41.Internet searches in Europe. They say they will be looking at the
:11:42. > :11:45.public interest in the future. Requests will be considered on a
:11:46. > :11:51.case-by-case basis, so the time frame for the remit is unclear. The
:11:52. > :11:54.chief executive of the company warned that the change could have
:11:55. > :12:12.serious consequences. He says: He is also warning that resources
:12:13. > :12:13.spent complying could do damage the technical and narration of the
:12:14. > :12:29.company going forward. A lot of people will welcome this,
:12:30. > :12:33.they will say there has been an invasion on my privacy, thank
:12:34. > :12:38.goodness we have this. We have privacy laws and libel laws. This is
:12:39. > :12:45.for truthful information which people may or may not have forgotten
:12:46. > :12:50.about. As a result, we will get effectively, a two tier Internet
:12:51. > :12:55.system. If you happen to be within the European Union, you will get one
:12:56. > :13:01.set of returns, but a you are inside the European Union, you will not. If
:13:02. > :13:09.you are in India, Australia, South Africa, you will get completely
:13:10. > :13:14.uncensored information. That is one disadvantage, in your view. Is not
:13:15. > :13:19.perhaps a good idea for some people, if they feel there is on their
:13:20. > :13:25.bridge has been there for many years? Maybe a picture of the Trail,
:13:26. > :13:29.watch the want removed? I do not think so. There is a universal
:13:30. > :13:39.covenant on children's rights. To give you an example, Mr Nick Clegg,
:13:40. > :13:44.the deputy prime minister, he was convicted of arson in Germany when
:13:45. > :13:54.he was a student. He was doing something he was not proud of. If
:13:55. > :13:59.you look on his biography, it is on page 48. You're not going to find
:14:00. > :14:02.unless you are looking for it. After this result, you will find that will
:14:03. > :14:10.not be available to people in the United Kingdom. Is that the case?
:14:11. > :14:16.Google say they are the individual can make the request, but they will
:14:17. > :14:22.say that if they decide it is not in the public interest to remove it, it
:14:23. > :14:29.will remain. But the case in point was about a Spanish man who was
:14:30. > :14:32.found bankrupt any Spanish court and when you Google his name on the
:14:33. > :14:40.Internet, that came up. The trouble is, if we wanted to go into business
:14:41. > :14:45.with them, we would want an easy way to find out financial information
:14:46. > :14:49.about him. That is a critical piece of information that you would be
:14:50. > :14:55.entitled to and that is why it is a retrograde step. There will be some
:14:56. > :15:01.unnecessarily gratuitously embarrassing facts about individuals
:15:02. > :15:07.and as soon as you put that name and, it will dog them for the rest
:15:08. > :15:12.of their life. This is that information about Oliver is only. We
:15:13. > :15:18.have all done something we are slightly ashamed of. I certainly
:15:19. > :15:25.have! That is what makes us human beings. We embrace the fallibility
:15:26. > :15:30.of our fellow human beings. We mature. People accept that. What we
:15:31. > :15:35.do not like is the airbrushing of history. One of the problems here is
:15:36. > :15:41.that 50% of the applications have been from criminals, people who have
:15:42. > :15:49.been trying to fleece members of the public. It was not for the purpose
:15:50. > :15:54.it was intended. Thank you very much for joining us.
:15:55. > :15:57.Now a look at some of the days other news:
:15:58. > :16:00.A Syrian activist group says barrel bombs and other air raids
:16:01. > :16:02.on rebel-held parts of Aleppo, have killed nearly 2,000 people
:16:03. > :16:05.this year, more than a quarter of them children.
:16:06. > :16:08.Barrel bombs are pushed out of the back of helicopters; packed
:16:09. > :16:11.with explosives as well as scraps of metal, causing massive
:16:12. > :16:14.The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said their use
:16:15. > :16:25.seems to have intensified, despite international calls for a halt.
:16:26. > :16:31.The organisation for Security in Europe says it has lost contact with
:16:32. > :16:34.monitors in Ukraine. It says another team that have been detained by
:16:35. > :16:39.pro-Russian separatists are still missing.
:16:40. > :16:45.Poland's last communist leader has been buried in Warsaw's historic
:16:46. > :16:53.cemetery despite widespread opposition. In 1981 he imposed
:16:54. > :17:02.martial law in Poland to crush the pro-democracy union, causing dozens
:17:03. > :17:06.of deaths. It was a state organised funeral, albeit low-key one for this
:17:07. > :17:11.most decisive of -- divisive figures. He was awarded -- veteran
:17:12. > :17:16.and former president so there was a minute regard of order. For previous
:17:17. > :17:23.presidents attended including one that had been imprisoned during
:17:24. > :17:28.martial war. They paid their respects to a man who in 1989 per
:17:29. > :17:34.side it over the peaceful transition from communism to democracy. Outside
:17:35. > :17:41.there was little respect. For these people he was a Kremlin stooge with
:17:42. > :17:45.blood on his hands. I am ashamed for the military today who saluted
:17:46. > :17:49.traitor, a true traitor. It is a disgrace for the Polish nation for
:17:50. > :17:57.the military to take part in such a circus because this is a circus.
:17:58. > :18:01.Protesters also gathered outside the country's most prestigious cemetery.
:18:02. > :18:10.They were angry that the general's ashes were buried beside heroes. For
:18:11. > :18:13.others he was a tragic figure, caught between the might of the
:18:14. > :18:23.Soviet Union and the Solidarity democracy movement. As the years
:18:24. > :18:27.have gone by more and more Polish people say he was right to impose
:18:28. > :18:28.martial law because, as the general always said, it prevented the Soviet
:18:29. > :18:40.invasion. People are now living longer than
:18:41. > :18:44.ever before, and with that comes new challenges in improving the
:18:45. > :18:46.quality of life for the elderly. AgeLab, at Massachusetts Institute
:18:47. > :18:48.of Technology, has developed a suit they say
:18:49. > :18:51.simulates the ageing process, giving younger people a better idea of the
:18:52. > :19:02.challenges that come later in life. Rajini Vaidyanathan has been finding
:19:03. > :19:24.out what it's like to go from the This is Agnes, it stands and gives
:19:25. > :19:29.the user empathy. It allows the user to work in a person's shoes. It
:19:30. > :19:38.gives them and the thief. Shall I have a go? We will move you from 20
:19:39. > :19:41.until 80 in 20 minutes. This serves as the frame of the suit, where we
:19:42. > :19:47.can put the buckles and the straps that will impair different parts of
:19:48. > :19:51.your body. Women will have a dowager hump because their entire frame is
:19:52. > :19:56.being weighed down by weakening bone structure as well as muscle
:19:57. > :19:59.structure. This is adding weight and also restriction. One of the issues
:20:00. > :20:03.around ageing the physical body is not just what you cannot do but the
:20:04. > :20:07.amount of energy that you out to expend to be able to do the simple
:20:08. > :20:15.things that you used to do, from opening a jar to reaching to things
:20:16. > :20:19.on a shelf. This adds the wait. It is like carrying a dumbbell. Now you
:20:20. > :20:23.will feel the strain of your hamstrings pulling but take a few
:20:24. > :20:27.steps and your date has changed. You often see older adults are slow and
:20:28. > :20:33.they take short steps, it is muscle tone and weight. These are the
:20:34. > :20:37.latest fashion in shoes. We tend to lose the fat at the bottom of our
:20:38. > :20:41.feet so your feet begin to hurt and you blame your shoes but it is not
:20:42. > :20:45.your shoes, it is the feet. We have a variety of goggles that can
:20:46. > :20:49.simulate low vision and natural ageing. It just looks a bit more
:20:50. > :20:57.blurred. You will need corrective lenses. We will put the helmet on
:20:58. > :21:02.and this will pull down the back of your neck and your head, to give you
:21:03. > :21:05.that dowager hump. As an older adults, if we do not change the
:21:06. > :21:10.environment around us we find it is about turning inward and truly
:21:11. > :21:15.retiring. What we want to do at the AgeLab is open up the world and make
:21:16. > :21:19.it useful even if all of us are not necessarily useful. My feet are
:21:20. > :21:24.hurting, particular my soul is my knees are really starting to feel
:21:25. > :21:30.pain and my lower back. And my head. I feel like I direct you want to sit
:21:31. > :21:38.down. What a difference 20 minutes makes. It is not easy. What will the
:21:39. > :21:43.future look like in 50 years for me? It will be a lot better and
:21:44. > :21:46.easier for you than it was for your parents. An ageing society as a
:21:47. > :21:53.reason to reinvent society live longer and better.
:21:54. > :21:58.She was looking a little bit older than when I last saw her!
:21:59. > :22:00.A bunch-backed toad was how Shakespeare immortalised the late
:22:01. > :22:04.And for centuries he has been depicted as an evil cripple
:22:05. > :22:08.The king's body was discovered in a sensational find under
:22:09. > :22:11.a car park in the English city of Leicester last year.
:22:12. > :22:13.But now scientists who've examined Richard's skeleton say that
:22:14. > :22:16.although he was troubled by some degree of spinal curvurture, or
:22:17. > :22:21.scoliosis, any deformity would have been barely noticeable to others.
:22:22. > :22:25.The research published in the Lancet medical journal suggests
:22:26. > :22:31.a good tailor and armourer could have disguised the condition.
:22:32. > :22:33.The latest findings add more weight to the arguments
:22:34. > :22:38.of those who believe the caricature of an evil hunchback was part of
:22:39. > :22:42.a campaign by Richard's successors to boost their own legitimacy.
:22:43. > :22:45.I'm joined from Edinburgh now by Philippa Langley who initiated
:22:46. > :22:48.the search for King Richard's lost grave as part of her ongoing
:22:49. > :23:02.research into history's most controversial monarch.
:23:03. > :23:09.What did the Lancet actually say about his disfigurement? Much more
:23:10. > :23:13.minor than we thought? The specialists had said it was just a
:23:14. > :23:20.scoliosis and it was not when the head was pushed forward and onto the
:23:21. > :23:27.chest. Does that mean he would have looked like anybody else when people
:23:28. > :23:31.saw him? Yes, absolutely. That fits with the contemporary descriptions
:23:32. > :23:35.of Richard by people who saw in and new Inn. Nobody mentioned anything
:23:36. > :23:42.out of the ordinary. I think if you put it in to context today it is
:23:43. > :23:47.like our Queen, the Queen of Britain. She has once shoulder
:23:48. > :23:52.higher than the other but we do not notice it. It is not something we
:23:53. > :23:57.talk about. History tells us he was quite a great warrior himself,
:23:58. > :24:01.wasn't he? He was. He fought in three battles and he took a big part
:24:02. > :24:06.in those battles, fighting right in the middle of the men. In his final
:24:07. > :24:10.battle he was at the front, leading the army. We know that he was
:24:11. > :24:20.incredibly physically active and physically able. Why has he been
:24:21. > :24:25.such a maligned character? History is always written by the victors.
:24:26. > :24:31.Henry Tudor, who became the king after him, Henry VII, had no blood
:24:32. > :24:37.claim to the throne. He needed to really make himself look like the
:24:38. > :24:44.good choice, the current choice, in order to confirm his legitimacy on
:24:45. > :24:48.the throne to everyone around him because he had taken over the
:24:49. > :24:56.Plantagenet dynasty that was on the throne before. The Tudors, Henry VII
:24:57. > :25:00.was the first Tudor, waged a sort of a propaganda campaign against
:25:01. > :25:05.Richard III? I think that was passed of it. When you look at the research
:25:06. > :25:11.into Richard and you look at the historical documentation and the
:25:12. > :25:18.accounts and letters that we have, the Tudor Shakespearian portrayal
:25:19. > :25:22.does not fit with what you get from his contemporary time. Do you think
:25:23. > :25:27.that as a result of these findings that accidents, present and future,
:25:28. > :25:32.are going to have to depict Richard III in a different way, that will be
