:00:00. > :00:00.This is BBC World News Today with me, Alpa Patel.

:00:00. > :00:09.It's a story that's gripped South Africa and beyond.

:00:10. > :00:12.A woman has been found guilty of kidnapping a baby girl

:00:13. > :00:20.who was reunited 17 years later with her biological family.

:00:21. > :00:23.Air accident investigators in the UK say there wasn't a proper risk

:00:24. > :00:25.assessment at the Shoreham show where a plane crashed,

:00:26. > :00:32.After the Sun newspaper stands by its claims that the Queen backs

:00:33. > :00:33.a Brexit, we look at whether the relationship

:00:34. > :00:39.between royalty and media has changed again.

:00:40. > :00:41.And the US and Canada now the best of neighbours,

:00:42. > :01:15.It's an incerdible story which reads like the plot to a film.

:01:16. > :01:18.Today a South African woman has been found guilty of kidnapping a newborn

:01:19. > :01:22.The girl, known as Zephany, was snatched from her mother's

:01:23. > :01:24.bedside in hospital, but was reunited with her family

:01:25. > :01:27.last year after making friends with a girl at her school to whom

:01:28. > :01:33.This woman's baby she named Zephany, stolen from her hospital

:01:34. > :01:40.Now, 20 years later, Celeste Nurse is seeing justice.

:01:41. > :01:45.The woman who snatched her baby convicted at last.

:01:46. > :01:47.But it was left to the child's biological grandmother to speak

:01:48. > :01:59.For years, Zephany's biological parents, who went

:02:00. > :02:01.on to have other children, still celebrated their missing

:02:02. > :02:04.daughter's birthday every year, never giving up that they would see

:02:05. > :02:10.Then, at school last year, in a remarkable twist of fate,

:02:11. > :02:13.their younger daughter befriended a girl who looked just like her.

:02:14. > :02:22.Extraordinary, too, was that here, just a short distance

:02:23. > :02:30.lived the woman who kidnapped the baby all those years back.

:02:31. > :02:33.Today, before she was convicted, the woman, who cannot be identified

:02:34. > :02:36.for legal reasons, told me she was sorry but claimed that

:02:37. > :02:39.Zephany, who now uses a different name, still loved her.

:02:40. > :02:41.We didn't see each other for this whole year, but she

:02:42. > :02:50.What is also astonishing, her own husband never

:02:51. > :03:00.We still have that bond, even though this is happening

:03:01. > :03:04.Throughout the case, the 51 year old accused insisted

:03:05. > :03:09.the baby girl had been given to her by a stranger.

:03:10. > :03:13.In convicting the accused, who has a history of miscarriages, the judge

:03:14. > :03:18.said he was astonished at her conduct.

:03:19. > :03:20.He said her story was a fairy tale, she deceived everyone,

:03:21. > :03:24.You don't have to be a rocket scientist, he said,

:03:25. > :03:29.to know that you can't buy a baby in South Africa.

:03:30. > :03:32.Absent from the court has been Zephany Nurse herself,

:03:33. > :03:34.now a young woman, sitting exams, and getting on with life.

:03:35. > :03:37.How she will be affected by this extraordinary turn of events

:03:38. > :03:56.You can find out more about that case on our website.

:03:57. > :03:59.In August last year, 11 people were killed when a plane

:04:00. > :04:00.crashed during the Shoreham Airshow in south-east England.

:04:01. > :04:03.Today, air accident investigators branch says a proper risk assessment

:04:04. > :04:05.had not been done before the jet took to the air.

:04:06. > :04:10.Our transport correspondent Richard Westcott reports.

:04:11. > :04:14.Seven months on and it's still shocking.

:04:15. > :04:17.The day a vintage jet came down on a packed road,

:04:18. > :04:25.But could tighter safety rules have stop this happening?

:04:26. > :04:28.-- But could tighter safety rules have stopped this happening?

:04:29. > :04:29.The report describes weaknesses in the

:04:30. > :04:34.The man in charge of safety didn't know the pilot's display routine.

:04:35. > :04:38.He is not required to but the report says it meant he couldn't judge how

:04:39. > :04:41.The risk assessment is described as having

:04:42. > :04:46.deficiencies despite being approved by the regulator.

:04:47. > :04:48.For the victims' families, it is yet another blow.

:04:49. > :04:53.For it to basically be in black and white that his manoeuvre

:04:54. > :05:04.discussed or planned, or was never set in stone that this

:05:05. > :05:07.is what he would be doing when he got into that

:05:08. > :05:12.It has stumped me quite a bit, actually.

:05:13. > :05:16.Investigators also found aircraft breaking flying rules.

:05:17. > :05:20.This is the same plane at Shoreham the year before.

:05:21. > :05:23.It is not permitted to stray over busy areas, but it did.

:05:24. > :05:29.You can see the train just going past,

:05:30. > :05:33.Now, in that display in 2014, the report

:05:34. > :05:36.said that the Hunter pulled a tight turn over this town.

:05:37. > :05:41.Then investigators checked other aircraft

:05:42. > :05:44.at Shoreham and other airshows and found there were plenty straying

:05:45. > :05:57.The Civil Aviation Authority writes the rules or airshows and it said,

:05:58. > :06:00.-- The Civil Aviation Authority writes the rules for airshows and it

:06:01. > :06:03.said, "We have confirmed a series of new measures to enhance airshow

:06:04. > :06:05.safety this year and beyond, including making sure all airshows

:06:06. > :06:08.conduct enhanced risk assessments before they can be permitted to take

:06:09. > :06:14.Everybody involved in this business are hugely experienced

:06:15. > :06:16.aviators and nobody I know would ever wish to compromise safety

:06:17. > :06:20.More than 6 million people visit an airshow

:06:21. > :06:23.Many are charity events run by volunteers.

:06:24. > :06:30.The Shoreham crash could have a big impact on dozens of other airshows.

:06:31. > :06:33.Extra rules and a doubling of charges from the CAA could force

:06:34. > :06:41.If the increases are implemented the way the CAA would like them

:06:42. > :06:45.to be then I would see no option but to cancel the show because we're

:06:46. > :06:55.not going to make the money we would like to make

:06:56. > :06:57.and if that is the case then, yeah, I don't

:06:58. > :06:59.see a future for the Throckmorton airshow.

:07:00. > :07:01.Back in Shoreham, families are still waiting for the final

:07:02. > :07:03.report that will tell them once and for all

:07:04. > :07:09.A woman has flown from Turkey to France with a four-year-old child

:07:10. > :07:12.The girl was discovered when passengers noticed the bag

:07:13. > :07:20.It's thought the woman was trying to adopt the child from Haiti,

:07:21. > :07:28.Aung San Suu Kyi has finally been ruled out of the running to become

:07:29. > :07:32.Her party, which won the last election has put

:07:33. > :07:41.Ms Suu Kyi is barred from becoming president under the military-drafted

:07:42. > :07:46.constitution because her sons have foreign passports.

:07:47. > :07:49.Rubbish is starting to pile up in the Spanish city of Malaga

:07:50. > :07:53.as a strike by refuse collectors is now in its 10th day.

:07:54. > :07:56.Concerns have been raised that the smell and mess could put

:07:57. > :07:58.off tourists ahead of the Easter holiday.

:07:59. > :08:02.Rubbish collectors from the partly state-owned waste management company

:08:03. > :08:09.Limasa are on strike over wages and working conditions.

:08:10. > :08:12.The personal details of more than 20,000 people who've signed up

:08:13. > :08:16.to so-called Islamic State have been leaked.

:08:17. > :08:18.The documents were stored on a memory stick handed

:08:19. > :08:22.It's said to include home addresses and phone numbers of fighters

:08:23. > :08:29.Here's our security correspondent Gordon Corera.

:08:30. > :08:31.The group calling itself Islamic State has drawn in thousands

:08:32. > :08:37.of recruits from around the world, including many from Britain.

:08:38. > :08:40.And now, a unique insight has emerged

:08:41. > :08:48.It comes in these documents, smuggled out by a former member

:08:49. > :08:52.and obtained by some media organisations.

:08:53. > :08:55.The BBC has seen only a few of them but they look to be

:08:56. > :08:58.personnel records, effectively application forms for those

:08:59. > :09:05.The questions to fill out range from the

:09:06. > :09:07.standard name, date of birth and blood type,

:09:08. > :09:13."Have you done jihad before, and where?"

:09:14. > :09:18.and "Do you want to be a fighter or a suicide bomber?"

:09:19. > :09:20.The German government today confirmed it had received a copy

:09:21. > :09:26.TRANSLATION: In the opinion of the security services,

:09:27. > :09:29.these documents are, in all probability, authentic.

:09:30. > :09:35.They show how conscientious this criminal organisation is and,

:09:36. > :09:40.in part at least, how effective it is.

:09:41. > :09:43.The documents are reported to include details of 16 Britons,

:09:44. > :09:46.including Junaid Hussain and Reyaad Khan, both killed

:09:47. > :09:52.Hundreds more Britons have gone out and these documents are only thought

:09:53. > :09:58.to cover a period from late 2013 into early 2014.

:09:59. > :10:01.The security service, MI5 here, are not making

:10:02. > :10:04.any comment on these documents but the British authorities

:10:05. > :10:08.are thought to have been passed a copy and, if they do prove to be

:10:09. > :10:13.authentic, they could be a source of valuable intelligence.

:10:14. > :10:15.A former intelligence officer says the documents could help find those

:10:16. > :10:21.who have tried to evade the authorities.

:10:22. > :10:24.Clearly they will prompt or support investigations,

:10:25. > :10:27.particularly into people who have come back home and who may deny ever

:10:28. > :10:33.Now it is much harder to do that because clearly,

:10:34. > :10:35.although these records may not have been

:10:36. > :10:39.authenticated completely, they look highly genuine.

:10:40. > :10:42.IS may aspire to act like a state, even having its own personnel

:10:43. > :10:45.department, but in this case, the desire for

:10:46. > :10:52.record-keeping could prove to be its weakness.

:10:53. > :10:55.The Sun newspaper has stood by its claim that the Queen supports

:10:56. > :11:03.a british exit from the European Union in this summer's referendum.

:11:04. > :11:05.-- a British exit from the European Union in

:11:06. > :11:08.It's also been critical, along with others,

:11:09. > :11:11.in recent weeks of the workload of the Duke of Cambridge,

:11:12. > :11:14.So does this mark another change in the royal family's relationship

:11:15. > :11:18.With me to answer that question is the royal commentator

:11:19. > :11:35.Has the British press fallen out of love with the Royals? No, we have

:11:36. > :11:41.two different subjects. The Brexit story involves the Queen, and there

:11:42. > :11:46.has been no criticism of the Queen'sactions, it is more to do

:11:47. > :11:51.with a Privy Council member breaking their oath if the sun is to be

:11:52. > :11:59.believed. The issue of the chick of Cambridge is a different story. So,

:12:00. > :12:03.one part of that is the tradition of knocking down those we have

:12:04. > :12:08.previously celebrated. The press seem to be annoyed that the Duke of

:12:09. > :12:12.Cambridge is not playing the game in terms of giving access to his family

:12:13. > :12:21.for photographic sessions the way his father did. The Duke is keen to

:12:22. > :12:26.have his family life remain private. Is there anything in the allegation

:12:27. > :12:31.he is not pulling his weight? He has apparently done far less than his

:12:32. > :12:34.grandfather. It is not a fear comparison because this is the first

:12:35. > :12:42.area to the throne who has a proper job. The Duke of Cambridge works

:12:43. > :12:45.about two thirds of the hours of his colleagues but he has royal

:12:46. > :12:53.engagements at the same time so years trying to be -- he is trying

:12:54. > :12:58.to be everything to everyone. He is a well trained pilot, still going

:12:59. > :13:03.through exams as he did in the RAF, and also fulfilling royal functions,

:13:04. > :13:09.as we will see him do in the months leading up to the Queen's90th

:13:10. > :13:15.birthday. Have the papers be more negative towards the Royals

:13:16. > :13:20.recently? To the contrary. The monarchy is shorn not just here but

:13:21. > :13:24.around the world in its strongest position in years. That is due in

:13:25. > :13:32.part to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. We will see that with the

:13:33. > :13:37.Queen'sBuffy, the press will be praising the Queen and all of the

:13:38. > :13:42.Royal family. -- the Queen'sbirthday.

:13:43. > :13:44.Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is visiting Washington.

:13:45. > :13:46.It's the first official state visit, of a Canadian leader

:13:47. > :13:48.to the United States in nearly two decades.

:13:49. > :13:50.The two countries have the longest common border

:13:51. > :13:52.and the largest trading relationship in the world.

:13:53. > :13:55.In a joint news conference a short time ago, President Obama described

:13:56. > :13:57.the US and Canada as the closest of friends.

:13:58. > :13:59.In terms of our interests, our values, how we approach

:14:00. > :14:02.the world, few countries match up the way the United States

:14:03. > :14:05.Given our work together today, I can say,

:14:06. > :14:08.and I believe the Prime Minister would agree, that when it comes

:14:09. > :14:09.to the central challenges we face,

:14:10. > :14:11.our two nations are more closely aligned than ever.

:14:12. > :14:19.We want to make it easier to trade and invest with one another.

:14:20. > :14:21.The relationship, the friendship between our two countries goes far

:14:22. > :14:23.beyond any two individuals or any ideologies.

:14:24. > :14:25.I have tremendous confidence in the American people

:14:26. > :14:27.and look forward to working with whomever they choose to send

:14:28. > :14:51.The German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, has criticised Balkan

:14:52. > :14:54.countries for closing their borders to migrants trying to reach northern

:14:55. > :14:57.Mrs Merkel said EU countries could not simply leave

:14:58. > :14:59.the problem to Greece, where thousands of

:15:00. > :15:03.Austria insists the closure of the Balkan route is the only way

:15:04. > :15:06.to deter more migrants from crossing by boat from Turkey to Greece.

:15:07. > :15:08.The BBC's Danny Savage sent this report from a migrant camp

:15:09. > :15:14.in Idomeni on the Greek border with Macedonia.

:15:15. > :15:17.I was last at this camp at Idomeni on the border between Greece

:15:18. > :15:21.To return here, the conditions now can really be

:15:22. > :15:25.Heavy rain has been falling for the last

:15:26. > :15:30.24 hours, the place has turned into a mud bath and people

:15:31. > :15:32.are living in pretty terrible conditions.

:15:33. > :15:34.They were already living in tough conditions

:15:35. > :15:39.We have been talking to doctors here on site who say

:15:40. > :15:41.they are treating more and more children

:15:42. > :15:45.for illnesses, and more and more serious infections as time goes on.

:15:46. > :15:50.First of all, it was coughs and colds and minor illnesses,

:15:51. > :15:52.but things are getting more serious now.

:15:53. > :15:56.For the first time today as well, as we approached this camp,

:15:57. > :15:59.we found people leaving, people walking away.

:16:00. > :16:03.The message is slowly spreading that the border here has closed

:16:04. > :16:05.and it looks like it is closed for some

:16:06. > :16:10.So people have been walking away from the camp,

:16:11. > :16:13.heading in a different direction, maybe to a different camp in Greece,

:16:14. > :16:18.maybe to find people smugglers who they want to get them

:16:19. > :16:22.But the numbers are slowly dropping off.

:16:23. > :16:25.There are coaches here, too, offering to take people to other

:16:26. > :16:27.camps in Greece, but there are still many people here living

:16:28. > :16:31.in hope that this border will open at some point and,

:16:32. > :16:39.until they're convinced otherwise, they will stay here.

:16:40. > :16:41.Staying with politics and Britain will vote in June

:16:42. > :16:46.We've been looking at the costs and benefits of the EU by looking

:16:47. > :16:48.in detail at objects people encounter in their daily lives.

:16:49. > :16:59.Matthew Price has been taking a look at the clock.

:17:00. > :17:09.What does a clock tell us about the EU? Have you ever heard of Greenwich

:17:10. > :17:16.mean Time? Britain has been telling the world how to set its watches

:17:17. > :17:21.since 1884. Now time has taken on a distinctly European feel. Thanks to

:17:22. > :17:30.the working time directive. Eurosceptics hate it. It says that

:17:31. > :17:35.on average you cannot work more than 48 hours per week, that you get a

:17:36. > :17:40.living hours rest every single day and that you can take 28 days of

:17:41. > :17:45.holiday every year. For the working Time directive came in in 1998,

:17:46. > :17:54.there was no law here in Britain that made your employer give you any

:17:55. > :18:05.time of at all. -- time off. Here is a lorry and here are the simplified

:18:06. > :18:09.rules the driver must follow. EU clock watching doesn't apply to most

:18:10. > :18:15.jobs and most can opt out of the maximum 48 hours working week. At

:18:16. > :18:21.first that was just in the UK but now 15 other countries also use that

:18:22. > :18:28.opt out. Why? Because many people feel the working time directive

:18:29. > :18:34.isn't, well, working. It is a great example of how the EU itself can

:18:35. > :18:42.fail to work efficiently. Brussels wants to rework the directive, the

:18:43. > :18:46.28 states want to rewrite it, the European Parliament wants to rewrite

:18:47. > :18:49.it but they can't agree with how to do it so now we are stuck with it.

:18:50. > :18:51.Doctors in Britain say they've tested two drugs that can

:18:52. > :18:53.dramatically shrink and eliminate some breast cancers

:18:54. > :18:56.The combination therapy was trialled on more than 250

:18:57. > :18:59.After 11 days the cancer significantly shrank in most

:19:00. > :19:13.Earlier I spoke to James Gallagher, Health editor for News Online.

:19:14. > :19:20.For some people this seems to be incredibly effective, and it uses

:19:21. > :19:26.two highly targeted precision weapons in the cancer arsenal.

:19:27. > :19:31.Breast cancers are very different but one in ten have this week is

:19:32. > :19:35.because they are driven by a protein which is like fertiliser for cancer.

:19:36. > :19:43.If you take it away, it cannot survive. So these two drugs target

:19:44. > :19:50.that. When used in combination, it seems to have impressive result. In

:19:51. > :19:57.11 days, in 90% of patients, the cancer was shrinking. In 17% of

:19:58. > :20:04.cases, it was tiny, and in 11% of cases disappeared entirely. When can

:20:05. > :20:09.breast cancer patients see these drugs be made available to them? I

:20:10. > :20:13.think there will be much larger trials taking place quickly. One

:20:14. > :20:17.astounding thing is that doctors did not expect it to happen at all. They

:20:18. > :20:27.were just testing different combinations of drugs and then the

:20:28. > :20:31.short window of -- testing and accommodations of drugs in the short

:20:32. > :20:35.window between diagnosis and treatment. Now they will do a proper

:20:36. > :20:41.trial testing both drugs in combination. It raises a powerful

:20:42. > :20:46.prospect that if you can eliminate cancer with these drugs without

:20:47. > :20:48.surgery or chemotherapy, that could transform the way cancer is treated

:20:49. > :20:54.for some patients with breast cancer. There have been quite a few

:20:55. > :21:03.advancements in cancer, how does this compare? It is impressive. It

:21:04. > :21:07.is an interesting field in cancer research because all cancers are

:21:08. > :21:14.different but they have secular different week points. The field of

:21:15. > :21:19.cancer is moving away from thinking about breast cancer, or varying

:21:20. > :21:26.cancer, but thinking about the specific weaknesses in each cancer

:21:27. > :21:31.and this is about targeting those weaknesses. Yes, it only works for

:21:32. > :21:34.one in ten breast cancers at the moment, but start doing it for a lot

:21:35. > :21:36.of other cancers and it could be powerful.

:21:37. > :21:38.Today is BBC News School Report Day, when school children around

:21:39. > :21:41.the world get to make the news for real.

:21:42. > :21:43.Today students from Immaculata Secondary School in Soweto give

:21:44. > :21:44.a guided whistle-stop tour of their hometown.

:21:45. > :21:47.It's is a very different place from when the Apartheid regime shook
