This is BBC World News Today with me, Alpa Patel. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
It's a story that's gripped South Africa and beyond. | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
A woman has been found guilty of kidnapping a baby girl | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
who was reunited 17 years later with her biological family. | :00:13. | :00:20. | |
Air accident investigators in the UK say there wasn't a proper risk | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
assessment at the Shoreham show where a plane crashed, | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
After the Sun newspaper stands by its claims that the Queen backs | :00:26. | :00:32. | |
a Brexit, we look at whether the relationship | :00:33. | :00:33. | |
between royalty and media has changed again. | :00:34. | :00:39. | |
And the US and Canada now the best of neighbours, | :00:40. | :00:41. | |
It's an incerdible story which reads like the plot to a film. | :00:42. | :01:15. | |
Today a South African woman has been found guilty of kidnapping a newborn | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
The girl, known as Zephany, was snatched from her mother's | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
bedside in hospital, but was reunited with her family | :01:23. | :01:24. | |
last year after making friends with a girl at her school to whom | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
This woman's baby she named Zephany, stolen from her hospital | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
Now, 20 years later, Celeste Nurse is seeing justice. | :01:34. | :01:40. | |
The woman who snatched her baby convicted at last. | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
But it was left to the child's biological grandmother to speak | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
For years, Zephany's biological parents, who went | :01:48. | :01:59. | |
on to have other children, still celebrated their missing | :02:00. | :02:01. | |
daughter's birthday every year, never giving up that they would see | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
Then, at school last year, in a remarkable twist of fate, | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
their younger daughter befriended a girl who looked just like her. | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
Extraordinary, too, was that here, just a short distance | :02:14. | :02:22. | |
lived the woman who kidnapped the baby all those years back. | :02:23. | :02:30. | |
Today, before she was convicted, the woman, who cannot be identified | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
for legal reasons, told me she was sorry but claimed that | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
Zephany, who now uses a different name, still loved her. | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
We didn't see each other for this whole year, but she | :02:40. | :02:41. | |
What is also astonishing, her own husband never | :02:42. | :02:50. | |
We still have that bond, even though this is happening | :02:51. | :03:00. | |
Throughout the case, the 51 year old accused insisted | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
the baby girl had been given to her by a stranger. | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
In convicting the accused, who has a history of miscarriages, the judge | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
said he was astonished at her conduct. | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
He said her story was a fairy tale, she deceived everyone, | :03:19. | :03:20. | |
You don't have to be a rocket scientist, he said, | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
to know that you can't buy a baby in South Africa. | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
Absent from the court has been Zephany Nurse herself, | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
now a young woman, sitting exams, and getting on with life. | :03:33. | :03:34. | |
How she will be affected by this extraordinary turn of events | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
You can find out more about that case on our website. | :03:38. | :03:56. | |
In August last year, 11 people were killed when a plane | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
crashed during the Shoreham Airshow in south-east England. | :04:00. | :04:00. | |
Today, air accident investigators branch says a proper risk assessment | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
had not been done before the jet took to the air. | :04:04. | :04:05. | |
Our transport correspondent Richard Westcott reports. | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
Seven months on and it's still shocking. | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
The day a vintage jet came down on a packed road, | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
But could tighter safety rules have stop this happening? | :04:18. | :04:25. | |
-- But could tighter safety rules have stopped this happening? | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
The report describes weaknesses in the | :04:29. | :04:29. | |
The man in charge of safety didn't know the pilot's display routine. | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
He is not required to but the report says it meant he couldn't judge how | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
The risk assessment is described as having | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
deficiencies despite being approved by the regulator. | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
For the victims' families, it is yet another blow. | :04:47. | :04:48. | |
For it to basically be in black and white that his manoeuvre | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
discussed or planned, or was never set in stone that this | :04:54. | :05:04. | |
is what he would be doing when he got into that | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
It has stumped me quite a bit, actually. | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
Investigators also found aircraft breaking flying rules. | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
This is the same plane at Shoreham the year before. | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
It is not permitted to stray over busy areas, but it did. | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
You can see the train just going past, | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
Now, in that display in 2014, the report | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
said that the Hunter pulled a tight turn over this town. | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
Then investigators checked other aircraft | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
at Shoreham and other airshows and found there were plenty straying | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
The Civil Aviation Authority writes the rules or airshows and it said, | :05:45. | :05:57. | |
-- The Civil Aviation Authority writes the rules for airshows and it | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
said, "We have confirmed a series of new measures to enhance airshow | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
safety this year and beyond, including making sure all airshows | :06:04. | :06:05. | |
conduct enhanced risk assessments before they can be permitted to take | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
Everybody involved in this business are hugely experienced | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
aviators and nobody I know would ever wish to compromise safety | :06:15. | :06:16. | |
More than 6 million people visit an airshow | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
Many are charity events run by volunteers. | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
The Shoreham crash could have a big impact on dozens of other airshows. | :06:24. | :06:30. | |
Extra rules and a doubling of charges from the CAA could force | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
If the increases are implemented the way the CAA would like them | :06:34. | :06:41. | |
to be then I would see no option but to cancel the show because we're | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
not going to make the money we would like to make | :06:46. | :06:55. | |
and if that is the case then, yeah, I don't | :06:56. | :06:57. | |
see a future for the Throckmorton airshow. | :06:58. | :06:59. | |
Back in Shoreham, families are still waiting for the final | :07:00. | :07:01. | |
report that will tell them once and for all | :07:02. | :07:03. | |
A woman has flown from Turkey to France with a four-year-old child | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
The girl was discovered when passengers noticed the bag | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
It's thought the woman was trying to adopt the child from Haiti, | :07:13. | :07:20. | |
Aung San Suu Kyi has finally been ruled out of the running to become | :07:21. | :07:28. | |
Her party, which won the last election has put | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
Ms Suu Kyi is barred from becoming president under the military-drafted | :07:33. | :07:41. | |
constitution because her sons have foreign passports. | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
Rubbish is starting to pile up in the Spanish city of Malaga | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
as a strike by refuse collectors is now in its 10th day. | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
Concerns have been raised that the smell and mess could put | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
off tourists ahead of the Easter holiday. | :07:57. | :07:58. | |
Rubbish collectors from the partly state-owned waste management company | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
Limasa are on strike over wages and working conditions. | :08:03. | :08:09. | |
The personal details of more than 20,000 people who've signed up | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
to so-called Islamic State have been leaked. | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
The documents were stored on a memory stick handed | :08:17. | :08:18. | |
It's said to include home addresses and phone numbers of fighters | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
Here's our security correspondent Gordon Corera. | :08:23. | :08:29. | |
The group calling itself Islamic State has drawn in thousands | :08:30. | :08:31. | |
of recruits from around the world, including many from Britain. | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
And now, a unique insight has emerged | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
It comes in these documents, smuggled out by a former member | :08:41. | :08:48. | |
and obtained by some media organisations. | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
The BBC has seen only a few of them but they look to be | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
personnel records, effectively application forms for those | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
The questions to fill out range from the | :08:59. | :09:05. | |
standard name, date of birth and blood type, | :09:06. | :09:07. | |
"Have you done jihad before, and where?" | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
and "Do you want to be a fighter or a suicide bomber?" | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
The German government today confirmed it had received a copy | :09:19. | :09:20. | |
TRANSLATION: In the opinion of the security services, | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
these documents are, in all probability, authentic. | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
They show how conscientious this criminal organisation is and, | :09:30. | :09:35. | |
in part at least, how effective it is. | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
The documents are reported to include details of 16 Britons, | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
including Junaid Hussain and Reyaad Khan, both killed | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
Hundreds more Britons have gone out and these documents are only thought | :09:47. | :09:52. | |
to cover a period from late 2013 into early 2014. | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
The security service, MI5 here, are not making | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
any comment on these documents but the British authorities | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
are thought to have been passed a copy and, if they do prove to be | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
authentic, they could be a source of valuable intelligence. | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
A former intelligence officer says the documents could help find those | :10:14. | :10:15. | |
who have tried to evade the authorities. | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
Clearly they will prompt or support investigations, | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
particularly into people who have come back home and who may deny ever | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
Now it is much harder to do that because clearly, | :10:28. | :10:33. | |
although these records may not have been | :10:34. | :10:35. | |
authenticated completely, they look highly genuine. | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
IS may aspire to act like a state, even having its own personnel | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
department, but in this case, the desire for | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
record-keeping could prove to be its weakness. | :10:46. | :10:52. | |
The Sun newspaper has stood by its claim that the Queen supports | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
a british exit from the European Union in this summer's referendum. | :10:56. | :11:03. | |
-- a British exit from the European Union in | :11:04. | :11:05. | |
It's also been critical, along with others, | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
in recent weeks of the workload of the Duke of Cambridge, | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
So does this mark another change in the royal family's relationship | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
With me to answer that question is the royal commentator | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
Has the British press fallen out of love with the Royals? No, we have | :11:19. | :11:35. | |
two different subjects. The Brexit story involves the Queen, and there | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
has been no criticism of the Queen'sactions, it is more to do | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
with a Privy Council member breaking their oath if the sun is to be | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
believed. The issue of the chick of Cambridge is a different story. So, | :11:52. | :11:59. | |
one part of that is the tradition of knocking down those we have | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
previously celebrated. The press seem to be annoyed that the Duke of | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
Cambridge is not playing the game in terms of giving access to his family | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
for photographic sessions the way his father did. The Duke is keen to | :12:13. | :12:21. | |
have his family life remain private. Is there anything in the allegation | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
he is not pulling his weight? He has apparently done far less than his | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
grandfather. It is not a fear comparison because this is the first | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
area to the throne who has a proper job. The Duke of Cambridge works | :12:35. | :12:42. | |
about two thirds of the hours of his colleagues but he has royal | :12:43. | :12:45. | |
engagements at the same time so years trying to be -- he is trying | :12:46. | :12:53. | |
to be everything to everyone. He is a well trained pilot, still going | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
through exams as he did in the RAF, and also fulfilling royal functions, | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
as we will see him do in the months leading up to the Queen's90th | :13:04. | :13:09. | |
birthday. Have the papers be more negative towards the Royals | :13:10. | :13:15. | |
recently? To the contrary. The monarchy is shorn not just here but | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
around the world in its strongest position in years. That is due in | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
part to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. We will see that with the | :13:25. | :13:32. | |
Queen'sBuffy, the press will be praising the Queen and all of the | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
Royal family. -- the Queen'sbirthday. | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is visiting Washington. | :13:43. | :13:44. | |
It's the first official state visit, of a Canadian leader | :13:45. | :13:46. | |
to the United States in nearly two decades. | :13:47. | :13:48. | |
The two countries have the longest common border | :13:49. | :13:50. | |
and the largest trading relationship in the world. | :13:51. | :13:52. | |
In a joint news conference a short time ago, President Obama described | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
the US and Canada as the closest of friends. | :13:56. | :13:57. | |
In terms of our interests, our values, how we approach | :13:58. | :13:59. | |
the world, few countries match up the way the United States | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
Given our work together today, I can say, | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
and I believe the Prime Minister would agree, that when it comes | :14:06. | :14:08. | |
to the central challenges we face, | :14:09. | :14:09. | |
our two nations are more closely aligned than ever. | :14:10. | :14:11. | |
We want to make it easier to trade and invest with one another. | :14:12. | :14:19. | |
The relationship, the friendship between our two countries goes far | :14:20. | :14:21. | |
beyond any two individuals or any ideologies. | :14:22. | :14:23. | |
I have tremendous confidence in the American people | :14:24. | :14:25. | |
and look forward to working with whomever they choose to send | :14:26. | :14:27. | |
The German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, has criticised Balkan | :14:28. | :14:51. | |
countries for closing their borders to migrants trying to reach northern | :14:52. | :14:54. | |
Mrs Merkel said EU countries could not simply leave | :14:55. | :14:57. | |
the problem to Greece, where thousands of | :14:58. | :14:59. | |
Austria insists the closure of the Balkan route is the only way | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
to deter more migrants from crossing by boat from Turkey to Greece. | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
The BBC's Danny Savage sent this report from a migrant camp | :15:07. | :15:08. | |
in Idomeni on the Greek border with Macedonia. | :15:09. | :15:14. | |
I was last at this camp at Idomeni on the border between Greece | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
To return here, the conditions now can really be | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
Heavy rain has been falling for the last | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
24 hours, the place has turned into a mud bath and people | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
are living in pretty terrible conditions. | :15:31. | :15:32. | |
They were already living in tough conditions | :15:33. | :15:34. | |
We have been talking to doctors here on site who say | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
they are treating more and more children | :15:40. | :15:41. | |
for illnesses, and more and more serious infections as time goes on. | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
First of all, it was coughs and colds and minor illnesses, | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
but things are getting more serious now. | :15:51. | :15:52. | |
For the first time today as well, as we approached this camp, | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
we found people leaving, people walking away. | :15:57. | :15:59. | |
The message is slowly spreading that the border here has closed | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
and it looks like it is closed for some | :16:04. | :16:05. | |
So people have been walking away from the camp, | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
heading in a different direction, maybe to a different camp in Greece, | :16:11. | :16:13. | |
maybe to find people smugglers who they want to get them | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
But the numbers are slowly dropping off. | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
There are coaches here, too, offering to take people to other | :16:23. | :16:25. | |
camps in Greece, but there are still many people here living | :16:26. | :16:27. | |
in hope that this border will open at some point and, | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
until they're convinced otherwise, they will stay here. | :16:32. | :16:39. | |
Staying with politics and Britain will vote in June | :16:40. | :16:41. | |
We've been looking at the costs and benefits of the EU by looking | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
in detail at objects people encounter in their daily lives. | :16:47. | :16:48. | |
Matthew Price has been taking a look at the clock. | :16:49. | :16:59. | |
What does a clock tell us about the EU? Have you ever heard of Greenwich | :17:00. | :17:09. | |
mean Time? Britain has been telling the world how to set its watches | :17:10. | :17:16. | |
since 1884. Now time has taken on a distinctly European feel. Thanks to | :17:17. | :17:21. | |
the working time directive. Eurosceptics hate it. It says that | :17:22. | :17:30. | |
on average you cannot work more than 48 hours per week, that you get a | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
living hours rest every single day and that you can take 28 days of | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
holiday every year. For the working Time directive came in in 1998, | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
there was no law here in Britain that made your employer give you any | :17:46. | :17:54. | |
time of at all. -- time off. Here is a lorry and here are the simplified | :17:55. | :18:05. | |
rules the driver must follow. EU clock watching doesn't apply to most | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
jobs and most can opt out of the maximum 48 hours working week. At | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
first that was just in the UK but now 15 other countries also use that | :18:16. | :18:21. | |
opt out. Why? Because many people feel the working time directive | :18:22. | :18:28. | |
isn't, well, working. It is a great example of how the EU itself can | :18:29. | :18:34. | |
fail to work efficiently. Brussels wants to rework the directive, the | :18:35. | :18:42. | |
28 states want to rewrite it, the European Parliament wants to rewrite | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
it but they can't agree with how to do it so now we are stuck with it. | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
Doctors in Britain say they've tested two drugs that can | :18:50. | :18:51. | |
dramatically shrink and eliminate some breast cancers | :18:52. | :18:53. | |
The combination therapy was trialled on more than 250 | :18:54. | :18:56. | |
After 11 days the cancer significantly shrank in most | :18:57. | :18:59. | |
Earlier I spoke to James Gallagher, Health editor for News Online. | :19:00. | :19:13. | |
For some people this seems to be incredibly effective, and it uses | :19:14. | :19:20. | |
two highly targeted precision weapons in the cancer arsenal. | :19:21. | :19:26. | |
Breast cancers are very different but one in ten have this week is | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
because they are driven by a protein which is like fertiliser for cancer. | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
If you take it away, it cannot survive. So these two drugs target | :19:36. | :19:43. | |
that. When used in combination, it seems to have impressive result. In | :19:44. | :19:50. | |
11 days, in 90% of patients, the cancer was shrinking. In 17% of | :19:51. | :19:57. | |
cases, it was tiny, and in 11% of cases disappeared entirely. When can | :19:58. | :20:04. | |
breast cancer patients see these drugs be made available to them? I | :20:05. | :20:09. | |
think there will be much larger trials taking place quickly. One | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
astounding thing is that doctors did not expect it to happen at all. They | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
were just testing different combinations of drugs and then the | :20:18. | :20:27. | |
short window of -- testing and accommodations of drugs in the short | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
window between diagnosis and treatment. Now they will do a proper | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
trial testing both drugs in combination. It raises a powerful | :20:36. | :20:41. | |
prospect that if you can eliminate cancer with these drugs without | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
surgery or chemotherapy, that could transform the way cancer is treated | :20:47. | :20:48. | |
for some patients with breast cancer. There have been quite a few | :20:49. | :20:54. | |
advancements in cancer, how does this compare? It is impressive. It | :20:55. | :21:03. | |
is an interesting field in cancer research because all cancers are | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
different but they have secular different week points. The field of | :21:08. | :21:14. | |
cancer is moving away from thinking about breast cancer, or varying | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
cancer, but thinking about the specific weaknesses in each cancer | :21:20. | :21:26. | |
and this is about targeting those weaknesses. Yes, it only works for | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
one in ten breast cancers at the moment, but start doing it for a lot | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
of other cancers and it could be powerful. | :21:35. | :21:36. | |
Today is BBC News School Report Day, when school children around | :21:37. | :21:38. | |
the world get to make the news for real. | :21:39. | :21:41. | |
Today students from Immaculata Secondary School in Soweto give | :21:42. | :21:43. | |
a guided whistle-stop tour of their hometown. | :21:44. | :21:44. | |
It's is a very different place from when the Apartheid regime shook | :21:45. | :21:47. | |
We're students from Immaculata High School here in Soweto. | :21:48. | :21:55. | |
It is home to Archbishop Desmond Tutu and the late Nelson Mandela | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
We are in Orlando West, outside Hector Pieterson Museum, | :22:01. | :22:11. | |
one of the most popular places in Soweto. | :22:12. | :22:14. | |
This place is popular because in 1976, thousands | :22:15. | :22:19. | |
of students protested against the government. | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
It had passed a law for students to be taught in Afrikaans, | :22:24. | :22:26. | |
Only a few people in South Africa understood the language. | :22:27. | :22:35. | |
The march turned violent and the police shot at the students. | :22:36. | :22:37. | |
Some died, hundreds were injured and some fled the country. | :22:38. | :22:40. | |
Hector Pieterson was the youngest to get killed. | :22:41. | :22:42. | |
On the day, in the township, what they did, the police, | :22:43. | :22:50. | |
they started shooting tear gas at us, and we never disbursed, | :22:51. | :23:01. | |
-- they started shooting tear gas at us, and we never dispersed, | :23:02. | :23:04. | |
even with the tear gas, and then they started | :23:05. | :23:06. | |
I was really scared but because of the group | :23:07. | :23:09. | |
that we were in, we became brave, because we were united. | :23:10. | :23:12. | |
That was a sad day for many South Africans but how | :23:13. | :23:16. | |
We want to show you around the Soweto we know and love. | :23:17. | :23:26. | |
There are more than 2 million people in Soweto but most of them use | :23:27. | :23:32. | |
To get to the right destination, we use different hand signals | :23:33. | :23:37. | |
to show the driver where we are going. | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
I know this hand signal which says it goes to Jabulani, | :23:42. | :23:46. | |
I know this one goes to Bara and this one is town, | :23:47. | :23:54. | |
# Soweto is a cool place I can't let go. | :23:55. | :24:08. | |
# If they hating, man, I pray they're not slow. | :24:09. | :24:16. | |
# Silence all over, prevention is the form #. | :24:17. | :24:18. | |
Like many young people around the world, we enjoy hip-hop | :24:19. | :24:20. | |
and watching our friends do tricks on their bikes but we also | :24:21. | :24:23. | |
want to stay in touch with our roots and that's why we enjoy | :24:24. | :24:26. | |
If it wasn't for the class of 1976, we wouldn't have as many | :24:27. | :24:41. | |
We stand proud and inspired but now is our time to inspire | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
But for now, let's get back to school. | :24:46. | :24:56. | |
And you can read more about this year's BBC School Report | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
on our website, at bbc.com/schoolreport, | :25:01. | :25:02. | |
including live updates from around the UK as around 30,000 school | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
children at more than 1,000 schools make their own news | :25:08. | :25:11. | |
Part of one of Argentina's biggest attractions, | :25:12. | :25:33. | |
the Perito Morenio Glacier known as the "White Giant", | :25:34. | :25:35. | |
has collapsed crashing into the water. | :25:36. | :25:45. | |
Dramatic footage captured large pieces of ice breaking away | :25:46. | :25:47. | |
and falling into the river below on the site in the City | :25:48. | :25:50. | |
of El Calafate, in the Santa Cruz Province. | :25:51. | :25:52. | |
The Glacier usually attracts big crowds, who come to watch it crack | :25:53. | :25:55. | |
It fully sheds ice roughly every few years and the last time big ice | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
And you can get in touch with me and the team on Twitter. | :26:00. | :26:04. | |
But for now from me and the rest of the team, goodbye. | :26:05. | :26:08. | |
After some pretty terrible weather across some parts of England and | :26:09. | :26:16. | |
Wales, and flooding problems, it is much quieter today | :26:17. | :26:17. |
