:00:00. > :00:09.Hello, I'm Karin Giannone, welcome to BBC World News Today.
:00:10. > :00:12.The fall out from the Panama Papers continue - now more top politicians
:00:13. > :00:15.here in the UK go public with their earnings.
:00:16. > :00:17.After a week of pressure the British Prime Minister
:00:18. > :00:25.defended his financial affairs in Parliament.
:00:26. > :00:31.The publication of a prime ministers tax information in this way is
:00:32. > :00:35.unprecedented but I think it is the right thing to do. Ordinarily people
:00:36. > :00:39.in the country will not stand by this anymore. They want real
:00:40. > :00:41.justice. They want the wealthy to pay their share of tax like they pay
:00:42. > :00:43.when they work hard all the time. of fighting in Yemen,
:00:44. > :00:47.a ceasefire is in place - Some rare good news
:00:48. > :00:50.on wild tiger numbers - they are going up for the first time
:00:51. > :01:10.in modern history. The British Prime Minister has faced
:01:11. > :01:15.MPs for the first time since the row over his investment in his late
:01:16. > :01:17.father's offshore fund, details of which emerged in a leak
:01:18. > :01:41.of documents from Panama. Additional measures to make it
:01:42. > :01:46.harder to hide the proceeds of corruption offshore, to make sure
:01:47. > :01:51.that they can no longer get away with it and to investigate wrong
:01:52. > :02:00.doing. First let me deal with those places that function as tax centres.
:02:01. > :02:05.They will begin to share information from this September. That had never
:02:06. > :02:12.happened before I became Prime Minister and said this must happen.
:02:13. > :02:16.But we need to go further. We have now agreed that today will provide
:02:17. > :02:20.UK law enforcement and tax agencies with complete access to information
:02:21. > :02:26.on the beneficial ownership of companies. We have finalised
:02:27. > :02:31.arrangements of all of them except to, both of which we believe will
:02:32. > :02:36.follow in the coming months. For the first time UK police and law
:02:37. > :02:42.enforcement will be able to see who owns and controls every company
:02:43. > :02:53.incorporated in these territories. Isle of Man, Jersey, the lot.
:02:54. > :02:55.The Leader of the Opposition, Jeremy Corbyn has also published
:02:56. > :02:59.He accused David Cameron of not understanding how angry the public
:03:00. > :03:05.are about the revelations in the Panama Papers.
:03:06. > :03:13.The public no longer has trust in him to deal with these matters. Does
:03:14. > :03:18.he realise why people are so angry? Do members opposite realise? We have
:03:19. > :03:26.gone through six years of crushing austerity. Families lining up at
:03:27. > :03:30.food banks to feed their children. Disabled people losing their
:03:31. > :03:37.benefits. Elderly care reduced. Living standards going down. Much of
:03:38. > :03:41.this could have been avoided if our country had not been ripped off by
:03:42. > :03:49.the super rich refusing to pay their taxes. I say this to the Prime
:03:50. > :03:53.Minister. Ordinarily people in the country simply will not stand for
:03:54. > :03:58.this anymore. They want real justice. They want the wealthy to
:03:59. > :04:01.pay their share of tax like BP when they work hard all the time.
:04:02. > :04:07.Our political correspondent Rob Watson is in Westminster.
:04:08. > :04:12.A very lively afternoon in parliament but did the opposition
:04:13. > :04:17.land any heavy blows? I am not sure that the dead. It is
:04:18. > :04:23.always difficult to deal with these things. The last seven days has been
:04:24. > :04:27.a battlefield of insinuation and allegations flying this way or the
:04:28. > :04:33.other. Now the dust is beginning to settle. In a week David Cameron
:04:34. > :04:38.managed to take a lot of the heat out of it. The opposition Labour
:04:39. > :04:42.Party will say we got in our pennies worth and that they were able to get
:04:43. > :04:46.out that line which they like and which has been used by opposition
:04:47. > :04:50.across the Western world since the 2008 crash, that is there is an
:04:51. > :04:54.appearance of their being one rule for the rich and one rule for the
:04:55. > :04:57.rest. We heard David Cameron saying he has
:04:58. > :05:03.admitted he has handled this badly, you could have done better.
:05:04. > :05:07.Has done lasting damage? It is extraordinary when one her to make a
:05:08. > :05:11.statement. A lot of MPs were thinking why did he not make that
:05:12. > :05:15.one week ago. There is no evidence to suggest he has done anything
:05:16. > :05:19.wrong. It is all was difficult to answer those questions. In the
:05:20. > :05:22.short-term it is difficult for David Cameron and the Conservative Party
:05:23. > :05:26.because it does remind the country that other time in the Government is
:05:27. > :05:30.trying to reduce spending, a lot of senior ministers and the Government
:05:31. > :05:32.are wealthy people. David Cameron says he can't make no apology for
:05:33. > :05:52.that. To his authority? Probably not.
:05:53. > :05:55.People outside the UK might be wondering how has this become such a
:05:56. > :06:00.big story when David Cameron has not actually been accused of beating any
:06:01. > :06:08.rules, breaking any laws. The media will need to look at itself and who
:06:09. > :06:11.fear it has been in its coverage. The other reason writers such a hot
:06:12. > :06:16.issue is that in Britain we are quite funny about money and wealth
:06:17. > :06:19.and that kind of thing. I have spent a lot of my life in the United
:06:20. > :06:23.States where people have a more robust attitude towards people who
:06:24. > :06:27.are wealthy. In Britain there is a certain amount of resentment about
:06:28. > :06:30.tax and about the rich. All of that was fuelling it. All of it at a time
:06:31. > :06:38.of hostility. Why did a fireworks display go
:06:39. > :06:44.ahead, at a Hindu temple in Kerala, And what is being done to help
:06:45. > :06:49.the hundreds of families affected? All questions the authorities
:06:50. > :06:51.hope will be answered, by the criminal investigation
:06:52. > :06:53.and now the judicial inquiry, A parent who has lost her child
:06:54. > :07:03.and children who have lost their 14-year-old Krishna and her brother
:07:04. > :07:09.were at the fireworks display along with their mother
:07:10. > :07:18.and father on Saturday night. Their parents had set up a temporary
:07:19. > :07:20.tea The children escaped

:07:24. > :07:32.were cremated on Sunday. TRANSLATION: My daughter

:12:18. > :12:19.said it had been a fantastic But it wasn't just him
:12:20. > :12:26.who made the headlines. His brother Pete drew in a lot
:12:27. > :12:29.of attention on Twitter for his running commentary
:12:30. > :12:31.during the last few hours - and here are some of the ones we can
:12:32. > :12:50.show you. This is what he had to say about how
:12:51. > :12:53.the night unfolded for him From seven o'clock onwards
:12:54. > :12:57.we were having a quiet drink looking forward to Danny hopefully finishing

:13:01. > :13:07.Jordan Spieth did what he Me and my wife, we got
:13:08. > :13:16.a drink, an extra drink. Willett's win isn't the first

:13:21. > :13:24.City looks set to win This time last year the Foxes
:13:25. > :13:29.were fighting relegation from England's top flight but now
:13:30. > :13:32.they are seven points ahead of their closest

:13:44. > :13:49.as a fairytale. Meanwhile the West Indies cricket
:13:50. > :13:52.teams won both in the men's and women's at the ICC's World
:13:53. > :13:54.Twenty20. but especially the women who beat
:13:55. > :13:58.Australia in the final. It was the first time
:13:59. > :14:01.the West Indies women's team had won the tournament,
:14:02. > :14:02.with the Australians And what does it mean
:14:03. > :14:08.for the bookies? To find out I'm joined by Joe Crilly
:14:09. > :14:22.of the booking agent William Hill. On something like the Augusta
:14:23. > :14:28.Masters happens? Yesterday after the first nine of the final round Danny
:14:29. > :14:33.Willett was still 20-1 to win. He was 66 at the start. A result like
:14:34. > :14:39.that is a good thing for us. Jordan Spieth was massively on song. If it
:14:40. > :14:43.is good for outsiders, we see all these surprise wins, generally for
:14:44. > :14:47.bookmakers that is good news? It is because more people will back the
:14:48. > :14:51.favourites. We have placed them up because we think they are likely to
:14:52. > :14:55.win an event. There is an exception to this and I am fascinated because
:14:56. > :14:59.Leicester City being top of the Premier League is actually a bit
:15:00. > :15:02.concerning for you. There is a contingent of people who bet on
:15:03. > :15:03.their beloved football team regardless of the odds. That is
:15:04. > :15:30.right. At the start of the season? 5000-1.
:15:31. > :15:33.People placed tiny bit. The small spec was just 5p. The biggest was
:15:34. > :15:35.?20. If you take into account somebody like Chelsea or Manchester
:15:36. > :15:38.City you tend to see people putting down thousands and thousands of
:15:39. > :15:40.pounds at the start of the season because they think they are going to
:15:41. > :15:43.win. But because these people are backing their team at the start of
:15:44. > :15:47.the season we do not think they are grams oing to win it we keep the
:15:48. > :15:49.price at the same we keep the price at the same then we started to get
:15:50. > :15:52.out over ?2 million which would be we could be paying out over ?2
:15:53. > :15:54.million which would be the worst result in football markets. This is
:15:55. > :15:57.worrying and football markets. This is worrying are people manage to
:15:58. > :16:00.put. By huge them are people manage to put their bet on when it was
:16:01. > :16:04.5000-1. That is right. When you take into account the price the pay-out
:16:05. > :16:10.from those 25 bets alone will total more than ?360,000. Aside from that
:16:11. > :16:16.as it always the bookmaker that wins in the end? Do you ever see anything
:16:17. > :16:20.that deviates from that well worn phrase? Favourites tend to win
:16:21. > :16:26.roundabout a quarter of the time. Horse racing, huge sport betting
:16:27. > :16:32.turnover, quarter of the time, 25%, the favourites will win. We are
:16:33. > :16:34.hoping that we see more of the non-favourites, second favourites,
:16:35. > :16:39.third favourites, outsiders winning. It is rare that you get a 100-1
:16:40. > :16:43.winner. You tend to see horses in the middle of the field to provide
:16:44. > :16:47.the best results because people see the big prices and they say they
:16:48. > :16:52.will have a pound on that. They say the favourites and they lump onto
:16:53. > :16:58.the favourites. It is usually a horse that starts off at 33-1. The
:16:59. > :17:03.start of the date was 50-1. It is great with the bookmakers. We were
:17:04. > :17:05.looking at British earlier. We saw Jeremy Corbyn. You had some thing to
:17:06. > :17:10.say about him and Donald Trump and watches with the odds there.
:17:11. > :17:20.Politics is starting to become a little bit more unpredictable.
:17:21. > :17:28.Jeremy Corbyn doom and after Ed Miliband step down. He was 150-1 at
:17:29. > :17:33.the start of the process. Donald Trump was 200-1 at the start of the
:17:34. > :17:37.Republican nominations. Do people bet on politics? Are you still
:17:38. > :17:40.seeing a healthy flow of money? Yes, politics is getting more popular.
:17:41. > :17:45.More people have access to the politics on the TV. TV shows become
:17:46. > :17:49.global, people around the world and in the UK as well can watch American
:17:50. > :17:55.politics. They can watch Russian politics. They can watch politics
:17:56. > :17:59.from around the world. There is a real niche of punters that get
:18:00. > :18:04.involved in political betting. What are the odds on Donald Trump
:18:05. > :18:07.becoming Republican nomination. 1-2. The assault on. 6-1 to become
:18:08. > :18:12.President. Macedonian police have

:18:22. > :18:24.we are very worried about use of tear gas against #refugees

:20:45. > :20:48.are all they have got. There were about 100,000
:20:49. > :20:55.tigers 100 years ago. That collapsed down
:20:56. > :21:03.to Now there are welcomed signs
:21:04. > :21:07.of a slight increase, It has been the result of many
