:00:47. > :01:03.documents from a Panamanian law firm have revealed the extent
:01:04. > :01:05.to which the world's rich and powerful use tax havens
:01:06. > :01:08.to hide their wealth. The documents - which the BBC
:01:09. > :01:11.has had access to - show how a law firm helped

:01:15. > :01:20.involving a close friend The firm - called Mossack Fonseca -
:01:21. > :01:24.says it's operated beyond reproach for 40 years, and has never been

:01:36. > :01:39.from around the world. But away from the lights this place
:01:40. > :01:44.is a thriving tax haven. Investors come to
:01:45. > :01:50.Panama for secrecy. You can go to Panama and you can get
:01:51. > :01:58.a foundation or a trust or a tobacco company and you can use those
:01:59. > :02:01.complex, strange structures to hide or disguise ownership
:02:02. > :02:04.or control of assets. An enormous leak of files
:02:05. > :02:11.from the company Mossack Fonseca From outside it looks
:02:12. > :02:17.like a respectable company, but this is a business which has
:02:18. > :02:20.helped people from around The documents were leaked to German
:02:21. > :02:28.newspaper Suddeutsche Zeitung with the international consortium
:02:29. > :02:33.of investigative journalists. Panorama has been
:02:34. > :02:38.analysing the documents. We found links to 72 current
:02:39. > :02:45.or former heads of state. Like the Icelandic Prime Minister
:02:46. > :02:49.Sigmundur Gunnlaugsson. He had a secret stake
:02:50. > :02:54.in an offshore company. The company held his wife's
:02:55. > :02:57.interests in Iceland's banks worth Nobody knew that, when her husband
:02:58. > :03:03.was dealing with the Icelandic banks Including the British demands
:03:04. > :03:08.for compensation Gunnlaugsson is today facing calls
:03:09. > :03:23.for his resignation, He walked out when questioned by an
:03:24. > :03:28.Icelandic reporter. Gunnlaugsson is today facing calls
:03:29. > :03:30.for his resignation, but he says he has not broken any
:03:31. > :03:34.rules and his wife did not benefit Mossack Fonseca said the services
:03:35. > :03:42.they provide are commonly used worldwide and they are responsible
:03:43. > :03:44.members of the global financial But some of the deals
:03:45. > :03:54.in the files are extraordinary. We believe we have found
:03:55. > :03:56.a billion-dollar laundering This man, cellist Sergei Roldugin,
:03:57. > :04:07.close friend of President Putin, was officially the owner of two
:04:08. > :04:10.secretive companies which benefited For example, an offshore company
:04:11. > :04:18.borrows $6 million. Three months later the loan
:04:19. > :04:26.is written off, for just $1. Why would anyone want to give
:04:27. > :04:32.all this cash to a cellist? There is nothing I've seen
:04:33. > :04:34.which would make me do anything other than say stop,
:04:35. > :04:38.we need to investigate very To you, does it look
:04:39. > :04:41.like money-laundering? Sergei Roldugin has not
:04:42. > :04:49.answered our questions, and Mossack Fonseca say they have
:04:50. > :04:53.a strong compliance record. Through the leak, the world can now
:04:54. > :05:00.see more clearly how the wealthy can Earlier I spoke to Gerard Ryle,
:05:01. > :05:08.from the International Consortium He led the investigation so I asked
:05:09. > :05:22.him how it was undertaken. The revelations here are global.
:05:23. > :05:29.What we have done is pulled together a global team of journalists, more
:05:30. > :05:34.than 370 journalists from more than 70 countries. We have had more than
:05:35. > :05:40.100 media organisations join us. As we have gone through, we all help
:05:41. > :05:44.each other put together the pieces. Everything we are seeing has major
:05:45. > :05:49.public interest. How long did it take you? It has been more than a
:05:50. > :05:55.year since we first got word from the German newspaper, Suddeutsche
:05:56. > :05:59.Zeitung, that first got hold of these documents. They contacted us
:06:00. > :06:04.to put together the international team. We have been working together
:06:05. > :06:07.for more than a year now. How do you begin deciphering the information
:06:08. > :06:14.you are looking at? It's piecemeal. You have to look at what sat public
:06:15. > :06:19.interest and what's not of public interest. We focused on, is the
:06:20. > :06:22.public interest things we seemed in the documents, and we have applied
:06:23. > :06:28.that tests to everything we have done. Can you talk about the process
:06:29. > :06:34.of looking through very completed information. What we are doing and
:06:35. > :06:37.specialising in in the last couple of years is using technology in ways
:06:38. > :06:44.that have never been used before in journalism. We have about half of my
:06:45. > :06:49.staff, they are computer engineers and data specialists, and we are
:06:50. > :06:53.pulling together tools that help journalists analyse very complicated
:06:54. > :06:59.structures and documents like this. In the big issue of offshore
:07:00. > :07:05.banking, is this about secrecy? For me, the whole offshore world
:07:06. > :07:08.basically has one product, and that is secrecy. When you have secrecy,
:07:09. > :07:13.you have the potential for wrongdoing. I should point out that
:07:14. > :07:17.not everyone who uses the offshore world is engaged in wrongdoing, but
:07:18. > :07:21.where you have secrecy you have that potential. Do you expect this
:07:22. > :07:26.investigation to lead to any changes? What we are seeing in the
:07:27. > :07:33.documents is the offshore world is reacting to crack downs on secrecy.
:07:34. > :07:37.Every time a new rule is brought in, for instance in Europe or the UK,
:07:38. > :07:39.the world is changing and adapting, and people are doing it in different
:07:40. > :07:50.ways and by staying in the law. Flights have resumed from Brussels
:07:51. > :07:54.airport is two weeks after suicide bombers killed 16 people. Staff
:07:55. > :07:57.applauded the first of three fights to take off today but authorities
:07:58. > :08:02.have warned it could be months before services are fully restored.
:08:03. > :08:06.James Reynolds is in Brussels and gave us more details. It was a
:08:07. > :08:11.symbolic moment and there was a moment of silence before the airport
:08:12. > :08:16.reopens to remember the victims. When the first flight took off, a
:08:17. > :08:20.flight to Portugal run by Brussels airlines, there was even scattered
:08:21. > :08:25.applause on the ground, people happy to see the airport reopened. The
:08:26. > :08:30.first flight left 25 minutes early. Only two more flights scheduled from
:08:31. > :08:33.the airport and they also left early, to Italy and Greece. That's
:08:34. > :08:41.it for the first day of operations, but there are plenty of new security
:08:42. > :08:44.measures here. When you drive up to the airport you are now met by
:08:45. > :08:47.soldiers and police officers. They are armed, they look at the cars,
:08:48. > :08:50.and cameras check the license plates. If they are happy because
:08:51. > :08:56.can proceed to the terminal building along the road. There is then a new
:08:57. > :09:01.ID security check for passengers and then they will be allowed into the
:09:02. > :09:07.terminal building. Those procedures have been put in place since the
:09:08. > :09:13.attacks on March 22. Do we know when the airport will fully reopen after
:09:14. > :09:17.the extensive damage done during attacks? It will be a gradual
:09:18. > :09:21.process. Three flights took off today. We understand more than 20
:09:22. > :09:25.flights are scheduled on Monday. The airport hopes to get back to full
:09:26. > :09:29.capacity of operating more than 500 flights in and out every day by the
:09:30. > :09:32.end of June when there is the huge rush for school holidays. It was ill
:09:33. > :09:37.have to sort out some of the damage in the building and test some of its
:09:38. > :09:39.procedures, that it will try to get back to where it was by the end of
:09:40. > :09:49.June. -- it will still have to do. The captain and crew of the EgyptAir
:09:50. > :09:52.flight which was hijacked and diverted to Cyrpus last month,
:09:53. > :09:55.have spoken out about their ordeal. Flight 181 was forced to land
:09:56. > :09:58.in Larnaca in Cyprus when Egyptian national Seif al-Din Mustafa
:09:59. > :10:00.allegedly threatened to blow It later transpired that he was
:10:01. > :10:04.wearing a fake explosives belt. All passengers and crew
:10:05. > :10:05.were released unharmed Authorities say the hijacker
:10:06. > :10:08.was motivated by a feud with his former wife, rather
:10:09. > :10:11.than anything terrorism related. Crew member Hazim Nagi has described
:10:12. > :10:13.the moment the hijacker TRANSLATION: The hijacker came
:10:14. > :10:16.to the back of the plane He opened his shirt
:10:17. > :10:20.and showed me the belt. He showed me a button and said
:10:21. > :10:23.if he pushed it the whole plane would explode
:10:24. > :10:25.with everyone on it. The crew knew something was up
:10:26. > :10:29.when I went to talk to the pilot To be honest, the crew
:10:30. > :10:33.gave me strength And here's what the captain
:10:34. > :10:39.on the plane had to say TRANSLATION: You have to always
:10:40. > :10:45.think of every eventuality I don't want to make
:10:46. > :10:50.myself out to be a hero, but our training, which was given
:10:51. > :10:53.to us by EgyptAir through the International Aviation
:10:54. > :10:56.Authority, is what we were able to apply to a great extent
:10:57. > :11:05.through the situation. The World Anti-Doping Agency,
:11:06. > :11:07.has described newspaper allegations of drug-taking among elite
:11:08. > :11:09.British sports stars, The comments come after a doctor's
:11:10. > :11:12.been filmed claiming to have provided performance enhancing drugs
:11:13. > :11:14.to top sports stars, including players at three
:11:15. > :11:17.Premier league clubs Dr Mark Bonar has denied any
:11:18. > :11:25.wrongdoing, but it's emerged tonight that he currently doesn't
:11:26. > :11:28.have a licence to practice medicine The football clubs say the claims
:11:29. > :11:34.are completely unfounded, and have no knowledge of any
:11:35. > :11:37.of their players being involved. Obviously, some of these
:11:38. > :11:44.treatments used are banned Having said that, I have worked
:11:45. > :11:54.with lots of professional athletes Dr Mark Bonar, caught claiming
:11:55. > :12:01.to have helped scores of sports Secretly filmed by the Sunday Times
:12:02. > :12:07.last year, the London-based medic prescribes banned performance
:12:08. > :12:11.enhancing drugs to an athlete posing If somebody came into me and said
:12:12. > :12:32.why are you giving me BLEEP I can say, look, his testosterone
:12:33. > :12:39.level is 15. The normal range is for - 30, and he has symptoms of
:12:40. > :12:41.testosterone deficiency syndrome. His levels are suboptimal and I have
:12:42. > :12:42.topped him up. The reason is to
:12:43. > :12:45.improve performance. Bonar says he has worked with 150
:12:46. > :12:48.elite sports people, including boxers, an England
:12:49. > :12:50.cricketer, tennis players, Britsh cyclists and Premier
:12:51. > :12:54.League footballers. If you are a footballer in your 30s,
:12:55. > :12:58.how are you going to keep up There is no suggestion that any
:12:59. > :13:04.of the three Premier League clubs implicated were aware
:13:05. > :13:09.of any of the wrongdoing. They say the claims are false and
:13:10. > :13:12.without foundation. Leicester City is one
:13:13. > :13:14.of those clubs, and today, fans at the match against
:13:15. > :13:16.Southampton gave their reaction. You would not want to be
:13:17. > :13:23.paying to see a sport There is so much money in the game,
:13:24. > :13:29.never say never, but as things stand they have not found anything
:13:30. > :13:31.and we have got to continue and enjoy what we see
:13:32. > :13:40.in front of us. The newspaper investigation stems
:13:41. > :13:43.from evidence passed to the UK Anti-Doping Aagency two years ago
:13:44. > :13:45.by a whistle-blower athlete. It said it failed to act at the time
:13:46. > :13:48.because Mark Bonar was not governed They decided not to pass the case
:13:49. > :13:53.on to the General Medical Council. The Culture, Media and Sport
:13:54. > :13:55.Secretary John Whittingdale said he was shocked and deeply concerned
:13:56. > :13:58.by these allegations and has asked for an urgent independent
:13:59. > :14:00.investigation. He added doping could be made
:14:01. > :14:03.a criminal offence for athletes. I welcome the fact there will be
:14:04. > :14:09.an investigation into UK anti-doping and the way it operates,
:14:10. > :14:12.and if that leads to more robust procedures being put in place,
:14:13. > :14:17.more funding put in place, and hopefully at some stage, maybe
:14:18. > :14:20.leading towards the criminlisation of steroid use in sports,
:14:21. > :14:30.all that is positive. His conduct is currently the
:14:31. > :14:38.investigation of an by the GMC. Today, Mark Bonar's clinic
:14:39. > :14:42.terminated its agreement with him when it was revealed he does not
:14:43. > :14:45.currently have a license In response to the
:14:46. > :14:49.allegations Bonar said... These are
:14:50. > :14:54.unsubstantiated allegations. Investigators will treat them with
:14:55. > :14:56.caution until they are presented But they do raise questions
:14:57. > :15:03.about those tasked with protecting clean sport and the fear will be
:15:04. > :15:07.that amid a doping crisis, this could just be evidence
:15:08. > :15:09.that the range of sports afflicted The suspicion currently hanging over

:17:39. > :17:45.in Europe could be brief. I met Rada and her
:17:46. > :17:47.family from Damascus. She told me she wants
:17:48. > :17:49.to join her eldest son in Sweden and she is full
:17:50. > :17:53.of smiles and hope. But from tomorrow migrants
:17:54. > :17:56.will be sent back from here across the sea
:17:57. > :18:18.as the new EU deal with Turkey We have some dreams. Just across the

:18:22. > :18:26.Greece says the first ago will be those who have not claimed asylum.
:18:27. > :18:29.But at the camp were all migrants are now detained, there is little

:18:35. > :18:40.children are crammed in here. They are worried and confused. When I
:18:41. > :18:44.found her again, she was distraught. Her family are sleeping in the open

:18:52. > :18:53.You don't look so happy as you did yesterday?
:18:54. > :18:55.Not happy, all the time she's crying.
:18:56. > :19:04.This morning, though, brought new exhausted arrivals.
:19:05. > :19:09.Boats like this are still coming in every single day here to Greece.

:19:56. > :20:02.and there were three or four really big bangs and it threw us off
:20:03. > :20:08.the chairs, the seats Everybody was yelling
:20:09. > :20:13.and the train stopped. And then later on everyone
:20:14. > :20:18.was running to the front. All the conductors, and the people
:20:19. > :20:39.in the front of the train It's been an exciting day for the
:20:40. > :20:42.West Indies. There will be wild celebrations for fans of West Indies
:20:43. > :20:46.cricket as they secured a double at the world Twenty20 in India winning
:20:47. > :20:49.both the men's and women's competitions. The women were
:20:50. > :20:53.convincing winners over Australia, but the men's matchup against
:20:54. > :20:58.England went right down to the wire. England set a rather underwhelming
:20:59. > :21:03.topics of 156, helped by 54 from Joe Root, but an excellent fielding
:21:04. > :21:08.session from Eoin Morgan's side left the West Indies with 19 from the
:21:09. > :21:12.last over. But Carlos Brathwaite hit what role sixes from the last four
:21:13. > :21:14.balls to leave England with a devastating defeat.
:21:15. > :21:17.Leicester City went seven points clear at the top
:21:18. > :21:20.thanks to a 1-0 victory at home to Southampton.
:21:21. > :21:22.It was a nervy performance after the international break,
:21:23. > :21:24.with captain Wes Morgan heading the winner in the first-half.
:21:25. > :21:34.But with six games to go it's Leicester's 4th straight 1-0 win.
:21:35. > :21:41.It's another good step, another three points and another clean
:21:42. > :21:47.sheet. One match less until the end. It was a normal match. We waited for
:21:48. > :21:51.this kind of match, they played five at the back and wanted to close all
:21:52. > :21:57.the space, but we found the space to score a goal. They had a fantastic
:21:58. > :22:04.chance in the first half, but we worked so well. We did everything in
:22:05. > :22:08.the second half. We had the substitutes to play even more
:22:09. > :22:13.offensively. They have some good chances to kill the game after the
:22:14. > :22:19.1-0. I think our start of the game was not good enough. That after
:22:20. > :22:24.that, we came back into the game and had good chances to score. -- but
:22:25. > :22:29.after that. They had fantastic defending in all the crosses in the
:22:30. > :22:31.second half. Still, you have some key moments in the game. And it's a
:22:32. > :22:33.different game then. Louis van Gaal's Manchester United

:22:39. > :22:40.to a second-half winner from France It means United are now one point
:22:41. > :22:55.behind 4th-placed Manchester City. It was very tight. Everton play very
:22:56. > :22:58.good football and have great quality players in the midfield, quick
:22:59. > :23:03.wingers and a very good striker. We knew it was difficult to beat them,
:23:04. > :23:07.but we started very well in the second-half and we scored earlier
:23:08. > :23:10.than them, and that was the difference. After the goal it's
:23:11. > :23:14.easier to play because they open up more of the pitch and there are more
:23:15. > :23:20.spaces to try to create more and we had a few more chances to score. At
:23:21. > :23:22.the end, 1-0 was enough. Disappointing to come to Old
:23:23. > :23:27.Trafford and perform in the manner that we did, if you look at the two
:23:28. > :23:31.teams, the performances were very level. We ended up losing the game.
:23:32. > :23:34.When you do that, you should never end up losing. If you can't win, you
:23:35. > :23:35.certainly shouldn't lose. There was another win
:23:36. > :23:38.for Mercedes in Formula One - and again the driver on top
:23:39. > :23:42.was Germany's Nico Rosberg. He made it two wins from two this
:23:43. > :23:46.season at the Bahrain Grand Prix, finishing ahead of Ferarri's Kimi
:23:47. > :23:55.Raikonnen and team-mate The key was the start. I got a great
:23:56. > :23:59.getaway. From then on I was trying to control the pace, but very happy
:24:00. > :24:01.with today. Awesome to get another win.
:24:02. > :24:03.There were wins for both world champions in cycling's

:24:10. > :24:16.It came right down to the last few metres in the women's race though.
:24:17. > :24:19.With the chasing pack closing in on them, world champion
:24:20. > :24:20.Lizzie Armitstead of Britain outsprinted Emma
:24:21. > :24:23.But there was less than half a wheel in it.
:24:24. > :24:26.It's her first win here - one better than her second place
:24:27. > :24:39.More on that stunning win for the West Indies. We were at the stadium
:24:40. > :24:44.in Kolkata. That's it, the moment the West Indies have won the game,
:24:45. > :24:50.and what a game. It literally could not have been any closer. Let's see
:24:51. > :24:55.what the fans think. FIREWORKS I had given up hope in the last
:24:56. > :25:02.over, I said England have it. I was shaking. I started to congratulate.
:25:03. > :25:06.He was congratulating them on the win. I reminded him that cricket was
:25:07. > :25:11.a game of glorious uncertainties, never over until it's over.
:25:12. > :25:15.Unbelievable emotion at the end, four sixes in a row. England did an
:25:16. > :25:19.incredible job through the tournament, great young team, credit
:25:20. > :25:22.to the country, and the West Indies had something incredible they could
:25:23. > :25:29.pull out of the bag when they needed to. It was crazy. You thought you
:25:30. > :25:32.had won the game, didn't you. Yes, but in Twenty20 cricket you can
:25:33. > :25:40.never tell. How did it feel in the final over? It was gutting, to be
:25:41. > :25:45.honest. It was awesome, very good. Do you think any of the team could
:25:46. > :25:50.have pulled it out of the bag? Only New Zealand. Apart from New Zealand!
