:00:00. > :00:13.Pope Francis visits migrants centres on the Greek island of Lesbos.

:00:14. > :00:15.He brings back 12 Syrian refugees to Italy, saying it's

:00:16. > :00:21.a humanitarian act - not a political one.

:00:22. > :00:23.Lively scenes in the Brazilian parliament over whether to impeach

:00:24. > :00:25.the country's President - she says the campaign

:00:26. > :00:31.It's a race against time to find survivors in Japan after a second

:00:32. > :00:37.earthquake kills more than 30 people.

:00:38. > :00:39.The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge visit the Taj Mahal,

:00:40. > :00:55.retracing the steps of William's mother.

:00:56. > :01:09.That's what the Pope declared as he visited a migrant centre

:01:10. > :01:11.Lesbos is where most of migrants first

:01:12. > :01:14.Despite the island's proximity to Turkey,

:01:15. > :01:21.many migrants drown trying to make the perilous journey.

:01:22. > :01:23.He came to what's been called the front line

:01:24. > :01:26.to meet the people who risked their lives to get here,

:01:27. > :01:30.to plead for a more humane international response to them.

:01:31. > :01:43.The Pope is used to provoking emotions.

:01:44. > :01:47.They're usually drawn from religious fervour, not desperation.

:01:48. > :01:50.All the migrants in this camp are now effectively detained, awaiting

:01:51. > :01:55.A deal between the EU and Turkey to try to stem the flow of migrants

:01:56. > :02:00.has provoked questions about its morality and legality.

:02:01. > :02:10.The Pope's now added his weight to a growing chorus of concern.

:02:11. > :02:13.TRANSLATION: We hope that the world will heed these scenes of tragic

:02:14. > :02:24.And respond in a way worthy of our common humanity.

:02:25. > :02:27.Outside another camp, Syrians gathered for a glimpse

:02:28. > :02:33.of the Pope, hoping, somehow, he'd be their saviour.

:02:34. > :02:39.This man, a Kurd, said he'd rather die here than be returned to Turkey.

:02:40. > :02:42.All the migrants we've met here have huge hopes and expectations

:02:43. > :02:44.of the outcome of the Pope's short visit.

:02:45. > :02:46.He'll hope, at least, to have managed to stir

:02:47. > :03:00.But what difference will the Pope's visit actually make?

:03:01. > :03:02.We want them to rethink the EU- Turkey deal, and how

:03:03. > :03:06.At the moment it's being rushed through and people aren't having

:03:07. > :03:08.a chance to have their claims for asylum fairly heard.

:03:09. > :03:11.The Pope flew back to Rome, taking with him three Syrian

:03:12. > :03:13.families whose homes have been destroyed.

:03:14. > :03:24.while thousands of others have been left in limbo here.

:03:25. > :03:26.Meanwhile, Pope Francis addressed questions on board his plane

:03:27. > :03:31.about why he met Bernie Sanders at the Vatican on Friday.

:03:32. > :03:33.He denied the meeting with the Democratic presidential

:03:34. > :03:47.TRANSLATION: I saw him in the foyer of the hotel as I was leaving for

:03:48. > :03:51.Greece, greeting someone who the day before was at the Vatican, attending

:03:52. > :03:56.a conference, doesn't mean to back his political rule. It is only

:03:57. > :03:57.education. If someone thinks the contrary, he needs to go to a

:03:58. > :04:02.psychiatrist. Thousands of protestors,

:04:03. > :04:04.for and against the impeachment of Brazilian President,

:04:05. > :04:05.Dilma Rousseff, are gathering On Sunday Congress will vote

:04:06. > :04:09.on the issue with a two thirds majority vote required to trigger

:04:10. > :04:29.a formal impeachment trial Rallying the troops. Lula Da Silva,

:04:30. > :04:35.Dilma Rousseff's predecessor as president, her most important

:04:36. > :04:37.supporter as she faces a crucial impeachment vote in Congress,

:04:38. > :04:42.portraying this as a class war, a fright for the survival of Brazil's

:04:43. > :04:48.democracy, activists denounced those in favour of impeachment as

:04:49. > :04:52.criminals and traitors. TRANSLATION: The country is not as divided as the

:04:53. > :04:56.media or politicians make out. I am certain that democracy will triumph

:04:57. > :05:01.in the end and people will see what is at stake and

:05:02. > :05:05.three days of partisan debate, officially over charges that

:05:06. > :05:10.President Rousseff illegally manipulated government accounts to

:05:11. > :05:14.conceal a deficit. But it is more than ironic that many of those

:05:15. > :05:19.sitting in judgment on those Rousseff have been accused of much

:05:20. > :05:24.more serious crimes, including corruption and money-laundering. By

:05:25. > :05:27.Sunday night, these 513 congressmen, and they are overwhelmingly men,

:05:28. > :05:32.will have decided the fate of Brazil's first female president. It

:05:33. > :05:36.is a process that she insists is illegal, a constitutional coup to

:05:37. > :05:41.get rid of red dramatically -- democratically elected doesn't. But

:05:42. > :05:45.a majority of the zillions to support calls for the President's

:05:46. > :05:48.impeachment. These protesters arriving in the capital ahead of the

:05:49. > :05:52.votes a economic recession and damaging corruption scandals have

:05:53. > :05:57.eroded the Marussia's legitimacy and her authority. I don't believe it

:05:58. > :06:04.will make a big difference, but it is the first step. So we have to do

:06:05. > :06:09.that, because we have to start sometime and this the moment.

:06:10. > :06:13.Brasilia is preparing for a showdown. There has been significant

:06:14. > :06:16.economic and social progress under the workers party government, but

:06:17. > :06:21.there are those who argue that Brazil is still dangerously divided

:06:22. > :06:24.along ideological lines. There are two sins you cannot commit in

:06:25. > :06:29.relation to the Brazilian elite. They will not accept a government

:06:30. > :06:33.that fights for more equality, as they know Brazil is a very unequal

:06:34. > :06:40.country, and they will not accept a country that wants to have a more

:06:41. > :06:44.autonomous position in the world. Describing the proceedings as the

:06:45. > :06:49.biggest fraud in the history of the country, Dilma Rousseff is fighting

:06:50. > :06:52.for her political life. An unpopular leader, desperately looking for

:06:53. > :06:56.enough votes to avoid the humiliation of impeachment.

:06:57. > :07:01.Shinzo Abe, has warned that rescue workers are in a "race against time"

:07:02. > :07:04.to help the victims of two earthquakes which struck the south

:07:05. > :07:20.From the island of Kyushu, Robin Brant reports.

:07:21. > :07:25.We have been here for a couple of hours and this place is deserted.

:07:26. > :07:27.It is quite eerie tonight, and this is why.

:07:28. > :07:30.This was the result of that big tremor on Friday.

:07:31. > :07:32.The buildings here, and there are lots of them,

:07:33. > :07:38.This one has partially fallen away and crushed this camper van.

:07:39. > :07:40.There are cracks in the road as well.

:07:41. > :07:44.Six people died in this town when that first tremor came.

:07:45. > :07:49.They have had two now in 36 hours, and it is not safe to stay.

:07:50. > :07:58.that they have been shaken on their foundations.

:07:59. > :08:01.And some of them have fallen away at the front.

:08:02. > :08:05.It is like something out of a Charlie Chaplin movie, almost.

:08:06. > :08:07.And what you are left with inside is, exposed,

:08:08. > :08:10.the belongings of the people who used to live here.

:08:11. > :08:12.Furniture, clocks, tables, they have simply grabbed a bag and gone.

:08:13. > :08:16.The reason it is not safe to stay - well, just look above you.

:08:17. > :08:19.is so vulnerable to any further tremors that may come,

:08:20. > :08:21.and that is what people here fear most.

:08:22. > :08:31.What will come next, and will it be stronger?

:08:32. > :08:33.US officials have announced that the Pentagon has sent nine

:08:34. > :08:36.Yemeni men to Saudi Arabia from the military prison

:08:37. > :08:42.They include Tariq ba Odah, who had been

:08:43. > :08:47.The transfer marked one of the largest group of prisoners

:08:48. > :08:49.moved out of the US naval base in Cuba since

:08:50. > :08:53.to shut the controversial detention centre there before he leaves

:08:54. > :08:57.Well, we can go live to Washington - where we can join our correspondent

:08:58. > :09:09.What do we know about these nine Yemeni men who have been sent back

:09:10. > :09:12.to Saudi Arabia? Well, they can't be sent back to their home country

:09:13. > :09:17.because the situation there is too unstable. So they have been sent

:09:18. > :09:21.back to Saudi Arabia, where they all have families. This is the result of

:09:22. > :09:28.long discussions between Washington and Riyadh to try to come to some

:09:29. > :09:32.diplomatic effort to rehouse these prisoners. It comes a week before

:09:33. > :09:37.President Obama is due to visit Saudi Arabia as part of the meeting

:09:38. > :09:44.and summit of Gulf states. And it is part of the President's push to try

:09:45. > :09:48.to close this facility, an election pledge. He is of course coming up

:09:49. > :09:55.against some opposition from the Republican-controlled Congress. This

:09:56. > :09:59.will leave 80 prisoners back in Guantanamo Bay, 26 of whom have

:10:00. > :10:04.already been cleared for release. They are expected to be released by

:10:05. > :10:08.the end of the summer. As you say, this is a small number of VAT still

:10:09. > :10:13.left at the prison. Is he going to manage to achieve his pledge of

:10:14. > :10:19.closing the tension centre? It might be quite difficult. These prisoners

:10:20. > :10:25.are obviously from the other states, so there may be the dramatic efforts

:10:26. > :10:29.to return them there. There are US citizens in Guantanamo and there are

:10:30. > :10:32.moves to try to bring them back to the United States. But that would

:10:33. > :10:36.require the repeal of a law which says it cannot happen. Currently,

:10:37. > :10:41.Congress says that that is not going to happen. But the ayes have it, the

:10:42. > :10:48.ayes have it has not ruled out using his executive power to try to

:10:49. > :10:50.overrule Congress on this matter. Certainly, Guantanamo remains a

:10:51. > :10:55.controversial facility and the release of at least one of these

:10:56. > :10:58.prisoners shows why. He has been held since 2007. He has been on

:10:59. > :11:04.hunger strike on and off since then. He lost half his body weight there.

:11:05. > :11:08.There have been huge efforts by his lawyers to release him on

:11:09. > :11:11.humanitarian grounds, and now he is free. Other prisoners say they

:11:12. > :11:15.should also be free, as they have not yet been charged with anything.

:11:16. > :11:19.So there are certainly efforts both from President Obama and elsewhere

:11:20. > :11:23.to try to close this facility. Whether he will be able to do this

:11:24. > :11:25.by January, he has less than a year before the end of his presidency, we

:11:26. > :11:33.will have to wait and see. Here in the UK, the Mayor of London,

:11:34. > :11:37.Boris Johnson has delivered a blunt message to President Obama,

:11:38. > :11:39.saying he should not back the campaign for Britain to remain

:11:40. > :11:41.in the European Union. The President will visit

:11:42. > :11:43.the UK next week. With more - here's our

:11:44. > :11:45.Political Correspondent - Up and down the country,

:11:46. > :11:50.it's Boris Johnson who is Good morning, everybody,

:11:51. > :11:52.thank you very much... At referendum rallies,

:11:53. > :11:54.like here in Newcastle today, he's urging voters to back

:11:55. > :11:59.the Leave campaign. But on a visit to the UK next week,

:12:00. > :12:02.the US President is expected to say Britain

:12:03. > :12:07.should remain in the EU, a likely intervention

:12:08. > :12:09.that Mr Johnson condemned in an interview

:12:10. > :12:15.with the BBC. I just find it absolutely bizarre

:12:16. > :12:20.that we're being lectured by the Americans about giving up our

:12:21. > :12:23.sovereignty, giving up control. They wouldn't dream

:12:24. > :12:27.of sharing sovereignty. Is he in danger of making America

:12:28. > :12:31.look like a hypocrite? Not in danger of it,

:12:32. > :12:33.I'm afraid he is... Coming just a few days before

:12:34. > :12:41.President Obama arrives on another state visit to Britain,

:12:42. > :12:45.Boris Johnson's plain speaking It's not the usual red carpet

:12:46. > :12:56.rhetoric rolled out especially from someone who aspires

:12:57. > :12:59.to live here one day. But Boris Johnson likes

:13:00. > :13:01.to grab the spotlight, and knows his comments

:13:02. > :13:03.will get people's attention. Senior Conservatives from the Remain

:13:04. > :13:08.campaign are not impressed. I don't think he's

:13:09. > :13:10.thought this one through very hard, it's a pretty unwise

:13:11. > :13:13.and naive comment to make. The United States has

:13:14. > :13:14.pledged to come to the defence of Europe

:13:15. > :13:19.if we're ever attacked, to expose their own

:13:20. > :13:22.country to defend us. The idea that the President

:13:23. > :13:24.of the United States can't express concern at the wider

:13:25. > :13:26.implications for the West as a whole, I don't think

:13:27. > :13:32.that's credible. Any intervention has

:13:33. > :13:34.to be carefully managed. President Obama won't want

:13:35. > :13:37.to be seen to be telling British voters what to do, but Mr

:13:38. > :13:39.Cameron will hope this special relationship will give his campaign

:13:40. > :13:53.the boost it needs. Stay with us on BBC

:13:54. > :14:04.World News, still to come: No complaints from the neighbours

:14:05. > :14:06.about this extension - the astronauts above the International

:14:07. > :14:12.Space Station are getting some extra room.

:14:13. > :14:15.They're about as far away from digital downloads and streaming

:14:16. > :14:19.But it seems that traditional vinyl records are making a come-back.

:14:20. > :14:23.Sales are up more than 60% this year.

:14:24. > :14:25.And here in Britain, 500 limited edition vinyl

:14:26. > :14:28.records are on sale, as part of a campaign to make people

:14:29. > :14:45.building for some time. We have had a Jese of consecutive growth since

:14:46. > :14:49.Record Store Day was introduced in 2008. It was helped by rock and

:14:50. > :14:52.indie bands being popular after 2000, so that created an impetus. In

:14:53. > :14:58.the same way that the final went into decline and entered a circle,

:14:59. > :15:02.once it got popular again, a virtuous cycle was created and more

:15:03. > :15:06.people want to buy into it. It is not just the baby boomers, but a

:15:07. > :15:23.younger generation who are responding as well.

:15:24. > :15:28.The latest headlines: Pope Francis says bringing back 12 Syrian

:15:29. > :15:31.refugees to Italy from the Greek islands of Lesbos is a humanitarian

:15:32. > :15:36.parliament over whether to impeach the country's President -

:15:37. > :15:39.she says the campaign against her is a coup.

:15:40. > :15:40.Cuban President Raul Castro has rejected

:15:41. > :15:41.privatisation and vowed that

:15:42. > :15:43.neoliberal values will never be applied to Cuban socialism.

:15:44. > :15:45.He was speaking as more than a thousand delegates

:15:46. > :15:48.and invited guests gathered in Havana for a party congress.

:15:49. > :15:51.The gathering - which takes place every five years -

:15:52. > :15:53.follows the recent visit of President Obama and moves

:15:54. > :16:07.What does this tell us about Roald Castro and his relationship with the

:16:08. > :16:12.US? It was interesting that at the start of his speech, he underlined

:16:13. > :16:15.the point you made that neoliberal and suppose would not be applied in

:16:16. > :16:21.Cuba's socialist model, but he did go on to make reference to China and

:16:22. > :16:27.Vietnam's economy, and there was an implication about how much of the

:16:28. > :16:29.economic reforms agreed five years ago, the last time there was a

:16:30. > :16:34.communist party Congress in Cuba, still need to be done. So he was

:16:35. > :16:41.berating the delegates for not having done more. What was most

:16:42. > :16:45.interesting was the moment when he passed the baton onto the next

:16:46. > :16:53.generation. There was a about how there could be a plan to make sure

:16:54. > :16:59.the top age to join the Cuban Communist Party would be 74 top

:17:00. > :17:05.leaders, as well as a call for women leaders to get more involved. -- the

:17:06. > :17:08.top age would be 74 top leaders. That shows the new direction he

:17:09. > :17:13.would like the party to take over the next ten years. Given what he

:17:14. > :17:20.has said about the US, does this make for an uneasy future

:17:21. > :17:25.relationship? Well, it comes quick on the heels of that historic visit

:17:26. > :17:30.by President Obama. And of course, they had to make reference to that

:17:31. > :17:34.and things that have been achieved. I think there is still a closeness

:17:35. > :17:38.at the moment that a lot of ordinary Cubans are enjoying. The page

:17:39. > :17:44.appears to have been turned on that hostile relationship, and if the

:17:45. > :17:47.parties to reflect the interests of the people, it will want to make

:17:48. > :17:52.sure it keeps that there. But at the same time, as one of the historic

:17:53. > :17:57.leaders of the revolution, Raul Castro wants to make sure people

:17:58. > :18:02.don't think it is all rosy between Washington and Havana. There are

:18:03. > :18:06.still aware that these two countries have very different views of how to

:18:07. > :18:11.do politics and how to run an economy.

:18:12. > :18:15.Aston Villa have been relegated from the top flight

:18:16. > :18:23.They were one of just seven teams to have played in every season

:18:24. > :18:26.since the Premier League was formed in 1992 but after a 1-0 defeat

:18:27. > :18:28.to Manchester United today, Villa will play their football

:18:29. > :18:35.18 year old Marcus Rashord scored the goal that sent Villa

:18:36. > :18:39.to their first relegation since 1987.

:18:40. > :18:48.SPEAKER: the players are obviously devastated. It has been coming and

:18:49. > :18:52.we know that, but the realisation is difficult. I think they are very

:18:53. > :18:57.disappointed today in terms of what they put into the game. It has been

:18:58. > :19:02.difficult for everybody at the club, but I thought today, they took a

:19:03. > :19:05.step forward and a step back towards the supporters, who were outstanding

:19:06. > :19:10.today. But we have to get on with it. We have to ensure that this

:19:11. > :19:12.fantastic football club goes back to where it should be and that this

:19:13. > :19:13.never happens again. There were some other significant

:19:14. > :19:16.results in the relegation scrap. Norwich lost to Sunderland -

:19:17. > :19:18.they're now just a point apart It was a first win at Newcastle

:19:19. > :19:23.for Rafa Benitez - In this evening's game,

:19:24. > :19:31.Manchester City beat Chelsea 3-0. he thinks the biggest problem facing

:19:32. > :19:38.football is match fixing. Last year, more than 50 people

:19:39. > :19:41.were arrested as part of investigations into match-fixing

:19:42. > :19:44.in Italy's third and fourth tier, while a former Premier League

:19:45. > :19:47.striker was jailed for his part in a conspiracy to bribe

:19:48. > :19:49.lower-league players in England. It's a problem that Javier Tebas

:19:50. > :20:02.says the sport's governing bodies TRANSLATION: We are working in La

:20:03. > :20:06.Liga and the professional leagues, but I think the Spanish football

:20:07. > :20:10.Federation has to still work harder in the lower categories and control

:20:11. > :20:15.the situation more, which they are failing to do. The same goes for

:20:16. > :20:18.other leagues. They are keeping a superficial approach to such a big

:20:19. > :20:24.problem. Uefa says they are working on it, but they should put more

:20:25. > :20:28.pressure on organisations involved with match fixing. And Fifa should

:20:29. > :20:33.put more pressure on the federations to push them to work harder to

:20:34. > :20:36.eradicate match fixing. They should threaten them with being expelled

:20:37. > :20:38.from competitions if they fail to do so, and not many are doing it.

:20:39. > :20:41.Lewis Hamilton will have to produce one of the best drives of his career

:20:42. > :20:43.if he's to win tomorrow's Chinese Grand Prix.

:20:44. > :20:45.The world champion failed to set a time

:20:46. > :20:48.in qualifying after suffering engine problems.

:20:49. > :20:51.That, along with a five place penalty for changing the gear box

:20:52. > :20:53.on his Mercedes, means he'll start from last place.

:20:54. > :20:55.His team mate and championship leader Nico Rosberg

:20:56. > :20:57.will start from pole, with Red Bull's Daniel

:20:58. > :21:04.Rafa Nadal is through to his 100th career final after beating
