:04:54. > :04:55.Looking at a country like the United Kingdom,
:04:56. > :05:00.they have taken in very, very few migrants indeed.
:05:01. > :05:03.Other countries across Europe have taken in very few as well,
:05:04. > :05:07.If the migrants had been shared out in the way that the European
:05:08. > :05:09.Commission had wanted, this would not be such
:05:10. > :05:11.an extraordinary problem for countries like Denmark,

:05:43. > :05:45.of their welfare rules, extension of residency,
:05:46. > :05:47.but as far as border controls is concerned,
:05:48. > :05:50.they can pretty much opt out of the Schengen deal agreement

:06:21. > :06:26.He travelled halfway around the world to abuse children.
:06:27. > :06:28.But the court heard that Trevor Monk crimes began
:06:29. > :06:35.I believe that you directed the girls activity...
:06:36. > :06:38.Using his computer and a webcam he paid to watch children
:06:39. > :06:43.in the Philippines being sexually assaulted, to order.
:06:44. > :06:46.When that was not enough for him he went there to carry out
:06:47. > :07:01.The mother and the daughter, the daughter took her clothes off.
:07:02. > :07:04.When officers from the National Crime Agency raided the home
:07:05. > :07:07.of Trevor Monk they found 80,000 obscene pictures of children
:07:08. > :07:14.The judge today said what he had done was abhorrent and depraved,
:07:15. > :07:19.and sentenced him to 19 years and six months in prison.
:07:20. > :07:30.Filipino TV reports raids and arrests almost every week

:07:58. > :07:59.The families are engaged in the cybersex business.
:08:00. > :08:06.Some fathers and mothers bring the children here to show
:08:07. > :08:10.and they get paid from the owner of this house.
:08:11. > :08:12.Investigators believe that the sentence reflects the harm
:08:13. > :08:19.We believe 19 years and six months is a fair reflection of the harm
:08:20. > :08:24.of the abuse Trevor Monk inflicted on children across the globe.
:08:25. > :08:26.The fact that he was prepared to travel thousands of miles
:08:27. > :08:29.to abuse some of the poorest children in the world is a fair
:08:30. > :08:32.reflection of the case shows that in the age of the intranet,
:08:33. > :08:45.men like Trevor Monk are a danger to children wherever they live.
:08:46. > :08:48.The Brazilian government says it will deploy 220,000 soldiers

:09:17. > :09:19.Camilla Costa from BBC Brazil in Sao Paulo gave us more details
:09:20. > :09:22.about how exactly the task force is going to operate.
:09:23. > :09:26.The task force of army soldiers will be joining about 300,000
:09:27. > :09:29.health agents visiting residences all across the country to find
:09:30. > :09:34.breeding spots of the mosquito and eradicate them and destroy them,
:09:35. > :09:39.but also to warn the people about the risks that they run
:09:40. > :09:41.in their own houses, and to alert them about their individual
:09:42. > :09:44.responsibility and individual action that is required here to prevent
:09:45. > :09:50.the mosquito from breeding in their houses.
:09:51. > :09:52.We are talking about a very resistant mosquito, so people need
:09:53. > :09:56.to be aware of the fact that even a small bit of plastic can
:09:57. > :09:58.accumulate enough water for the mosquito to lay its eggs on,
:09:59. > :10:02.so this is the main task of the Army soldiers.
:10:03. > :10:08.This kind of deployment is not unusual in Brazil,
:10:09. > :10:10.but it had happened only in specific cities.
:10:11. > :10:12.This time it is a huge task force for the entire country.
:10:13. > :10:14.Brazil has not seen this kind of deployment
:10:15. > :10:22.Despite several thousand babies being affected by these birth
:10:23. > :10:24.defects, Brazil is not one of the countries telling women not
:10:25. > :10:34.One Brazilian health authority did say that the most sensible advice
:10:35. > :10:39.you could give to women was to avoid pregnancy at this point.
:10:40. > :10:47.Sometime after the Government issued an emergency health emergency alert,
:10:48. > :10:51.but this causes a lot of controversy in the country.
:10:52. > :10:53.The Ministry of health has been following the WHO in saying that,
:10:54. > :10:56.it's women's decision whether they want to get pregnant
:10:57. > :10:58.or not, and they should talk to their doctors about the risks
:10:59. > :11:04.The doctors also say that it is difficult
:11:05. > :11:06.for them to give orientation to their patients,
:11:07. > :11:09.because they do not really know when it is that the situation
:11:10. > :11:14.is going to be less dangerous for mothers.
:11:15. > :11:19.Do you get the sense of feeling in the country of anger,
:11:20. > :11:22.if you like, that these sorts of measures were not taken soon?
:11:23. > :11:24.In terms of the military being deployed now.
:11:25. > :11:26.There is some anger, but I would say there
:11:27. > :11:32.The military deployment in this scale, so far,
:11:33. > :11:37.has been more political as an announcement, than practical.
:11:38. > :11:39.They are supposed to deploy on the 13th of February
:11:40. > :11:42.but the ministry says that they are working this out
:11:43. > :11:47.The Aedes mosquito is something Brazil has had to deal
:11:48. > :11:49.with for decades now, so there is a concern
:11:50. > :11:52.that this is not enough, and a concern that the mosquito

:17:31. > :17:33.hundreds of people who have come forward over the last few days,

:18:22. > :18:24.something like that. Hello.
:18:25. > :18:27.Good morning. Since you went public as having sold
:18:28. > :18:31.the ticket that maybe won the lottery,
:18:32. > :18:33.it has got a bit crazy. You have heard a lot
:18:34. > :18:35.of people coming in. Some people are saying they bought
:18:36. > :18:39.the ticket but have lost it. There are quite a few
:18:40. > :18:47.going on and Camelot have had lots of people saying
:18:48. > :18:53.they have lost them, so... What did you make of the people
:18:54. > :18:56.who have been coming here? If that was the truth,
:18:57. > :18:59.where were they until now? I doubt them in the sense that,
:19:00. > :19:04.if someone was doubtful in their own self, they thought
:19:05. > :19:08.they had the ticket and the numbers, One thing I have noticed
:19:09. > :19:14.in here this morning is that you are selling a lot
:19:15. > :19:16.of tickets as a result. Everybody seems to be playing
:19:17. > :19:18.the lottery, this morning. We hope and believe we are a lucky
:19:19. > :19:22.shop, so we are hoping It sounds like maybe
:19:23. > :19:26.you are the greatest winner Sadly not everybody can win,
:19:27. > :19:34.but maybe it could be someone. For the first time,
:19:35. > :19:40.young people under 16 are spending more time playing
:19:41. > :19:41.and socialising online than they do watching
:19:42. > :19:44.traditional television. And that, according to the group
:19:45. > :19:47.that carried out the research, is a "tipping point"
:19:48. > :19:49.in viewing habits. YouTube and Netflix emerged
:19:50. > :19:52.as the most popular ways to watch material, as our correspondent
:19:53. > :19:59.Duncan Kennedy reports. For young people the box has
:20:00. > :20:04.become a bit of a blank. Take the Clarkson family

:20:08. > :20:14.old and uses her mobile device for social media,
:20:15. > :20:17.TV is much less important. If it is a family movie
:20:18. > :20:20.we will watch but other than that we do not
:20:21. > :20:25.watch it too much. Go upstairs and you find another
:20:26. > :20:31.device in the hands of She says television
:20:32. > :20:34.is just not mobile enough. Yes, because I do not
:20:35. > :20:40.really go on it much. Back downstairs, there
:20:41. > :20:47.is yet another device, this time being worked
:20:48. > :20:50.on by a seven-year-old Toby. You just sit around
:20:51. > :20:56.watching a screen. Toby and his sisters are typical

:21:07. > :21:11.in screen habits for children. They now view three hours online
:21:12. > :21:14.compared to just two 60% watch television
:21:15. > :21:21.on a mobile device. While 73% now have the internet

:21:42. > :21:45.in the great thing for them to have. It is just that we're
:21:46. > :21:52.still learning about it. The report today says it is online
:21:53. > :21:55.channels like Netflix and YouTube that most youngsters
:21:56. > :21:56.are now watching. Television will never die out,
:21:57. > :22:02.it is too big a business. If television makers can respond
:22:03. > :22:04.to the new audiences and what they want, and embraced

:22:10. > :22:21.the TV alarm bells yet. But for young people the heart now
:22:22. > :22:30.seems to be in a different place. I spoke earlier to Gill Hind -
:22:31. > :22:34.a TV Analyst at Enders Analysis - a research service which covers
:22:35. > :22:36.the media, entertainment and mobile I asked if she was
:22:37. > :22:39.surprised by the research. Much of this is actually down
:22:40. > :22:43.to the success of the internet, and in particular, the importance
:22:44. > :22:49.of the tablet and the smartphone. Smartphone penetration,
:22:50. > :22:50.amongst older children, Tablets, as the report shows,
:22:51. > :22:56.are in four out of five homes. What people do on the tablets
:22:57. > :23:00.and smartphones is a whole Whether it is playing games,
:23:01. > :23:05.watching people play games online, Whether it is watching
:23:06. > :23:09.YouTube or social media, They are hugely popular
:23:10. > :23:15.amongst this age group. That three hours we heard that
:23:16. > :23:18.children are spending online, do we know what principally
:23:19. > :23:20.they are doing? Is this TV consumption and all
:23:21. > :23:26.the rest you have just mentioned? There will be some TV
:23:27. > :23:30.consumption in that as well. When you have got your tablet
:23:31. > :23:35.or your smartphone, rather control, you now control
:23:36. > :23:38.what you watch and where you watch We will see people going upstairs
:23:39. > :23:42.and watching things on their own, In a sense, this is about
:23:43. > :23:45.independence and also impatience. If you are waiting for a TV channel
:23:46. > :23:49.to give you a certain programme, If you have a tablet,
:23:50. > :23:52.on demand, you can There is so much content
:23:53. > :24:01.out there now. The days of only having four or five
:24:02. > :24:05.TV channels and you knew you had to step down at 4:20pm
:24:06. > :24:07.to watch what you want, There is content absolutely
:24:08. > :24:10.everywhere from every sort of angle you could possibly look for,
:24:11. > :24:13.and you now have it at your fingertips and that
:24:14. > :24:15.is hugely important. Hugely important -
:24:16. > :24:17.what does that mean for TV's future We had one commentator say this does
:24:18. > :24:21.not mean the death of TV. Or it isn't the death
:24:22. > :24:23.of TV just yet? It is absolutely not
:24:24. > :24:26.the death of the TV. TV was always tied to the linear
:24:27. > :24:30.schedule and now it has changed. You can watch it when everyone
:24:31. > :24:33.but it provides challenges and opportunities for traditional
:24:34. > :24:35.broadcasters, and that is to make their content available on every
:24:36. > :24:37.single device, and provide compelling content that
:24:38. > :24:39.younger people want. And when you see a large television
