:00:07. > :00:10.Last man standing - Donald Trump is now the only
:00:11. > :00:12.Republican candidate after his closest rivals pull out
:00:13. > :00:19.From a field of 17 down to one, Donald Trump has said
:00:20. > :00:22.he'll put America first, build a wall on the Mexican border,
:00:23. > :00:33.and stop Muslim immigration to the United States.
:00:34. > :00:39.We will make America great again. We will start winning again, you will
:00:40. > :00:42.be so proud of this country very soon.
:00:43. > :00:44.Visa-free travel within Europe for Turkish citizens -
:00:45. > :00:47.Ankhara hails the move as an historic change.
:00:48. > :00:52.New hope for the Syrian child refugees who've made it
:00:53. > :00:56.The British Prime Minister says some could be given a home in the UK.
:00:57. > :00:59.And warnings that a huge wildfire engulfing a town
:01:00. > :01:01.in Canada may worsen - 80,000 people are fleeing
:01:02. > :01:23.There is now one man left in the race to represent
:01:24. > :01:25.the right for this year's US presidential election.
:01:26. > :01:29.It looks as if Donald Trump will be the first US presidential nominee
:01:30. > :01:32.in more than 60 years to aim for the White House
:01:33. > :01:35.without any previous experience of elected office.
:01:36. > :01:38.In the past few hours, Ohio governor John Kasich has
:01:39. > :01:40.followed Texas senator Ted Cruz and dropped out of the running
:01:41. > :01:44.for the Republican nomination after both failed to dent Mr Trump's
:01:45. > :01:49.lead among voters in a key primary contest.
:01:50. > :01:51.So Donald Trump becomes the hugely unlikely standard bearer
:01:52. > :01:53.for a party whose leadership doesn't really want him,
:01:54. > :01:59.buoyed by voters across America who have warmed to his rallying cry,
:02:00. > :02:11.When Donald Trump launched his campaign for the presidency
:02:12. > :02:16.he was written off as a giant ego with a minuscule chance.
:02:17. > :02:19.The victory in Indiana has delivered the knockout blow making him
:02:20. > :02:22.the presumptive nominee and he celebrated at Trump Tower,
:02:23. > :02:34.the New York skyscraper where he sealed so many deals.
:02:35. > :02:36.Never been through anything like this.
:02:37. > :02:39.It is a beautiful thing to watch and a beautiful thing to behold.
:02:40. > :02:41.Usually so boastful and outspoken, the Trump who appeared last night
:02:42. > :02:44.was more restrained and presidential but his core message stay the same.
:02:45. > :02:48.We will make America great again, we will start winning again,
:02:49. > :02:52.you will be so proud of this country very, very soon.
:02:53. > :03:00.Donald Trump has pulled off one of the most extraordinary results
:03:01. > :03:03.What was once thought to be politically impossible has
:03:04. > :03:10.Indiana was do or die for Ted Cruz and the Stop Trump forces,
:03:11. > :03:15.the last realistic chance to block his path to the nomination,
:03:16. > :03:19.but the Texan Senator was buried in a landslide.
:03:20. > :03:34.With a heavy heart, we are suspending our campaign.
:03:35. > :03:37.And as he made his exit from this most brutal of contests,
:03:38. > :03:46.an unfortunate collision with his wife.
:03:47. > :03:48.The winner Donald Trump is an American original,
:03:49. > :03:50.a New York property tycoon and reality TV star whose success
:03:51. > :03:54.to the White House has been built on much more
:03:55. > :03:59.It's his ability to articulate frustration about the economy
:04:00. > :04:07.His hardline stance on immigration against Mexicans and Muslims.
:04:08. > :04:09.Donald J Trump is calling for the total and complete
:04:10. > :04:12.shutdown of Muslims entering the United States.
:04:13. > :04:14.But in a country where many more women vote than men,
:04:15. > :04:22.his sexism and misogyny will count against him.
:04:23. > :04:24.His hostile takeover of the Republican party is now
:04:25. > :04:27.all but complete but polls suggest he is the most unpopular
:04:28. > :04:29.presidential candidate in modern times, that there are limits
:04:30. > :04:48.Let's head now to Washington to talk about a big day in American
:04:49. > :04:56.politics. What Republican party leaders going to do? I don't know my
:04:57. > :05:00.input -- my inbox is so this morning of Republicans who are in despair,
:05:01. > :05:04.people who say they cannot imagine ever voting for Donald Trump, but
:05:05. > :05:09.the issue is whether he can rally more people to his cause in the
:05:10. > :05:12.states that matter. If top Republicans in New York and
:05:13. > :05:17.Washington, DC deserve to vote for Hillary Clinton in those states go
:05:18. > :05:21.Democrat anyway, so you have to look at states like Wisconsin and
:05:22. > :05:26.Colorado. Can he broaden his message to reach out to people who may have
:05:27. > :05:30.felt Alien rated by his rhetoric and brash manner and persuade them to
:05:31. > :05:38.vote him? That will be the issue in November. It will be fascinating to
:05:39. > :05:41.see whether he pushes these issues like building the wall across the
:05:42. > :05:46.Mexican border and seeing no more Muslim immigrants. Those are the
:05:47. > :05:51.things that catapulted him to celebrity status as a political
:05:52. > :05:56.candidate and it got him a lot of your time. It won him supporters
:05:57. > :06:00.among people who feel angry and feel politicians haven't done enough to
:06:01. > :06:06.protect them from immigrants but now what Donald Trump needs to do is he
:06:07. > :06:11.needs to win more women and young voters and if at all possible he has
:06:12. > :06:17.two when more African-American and Hispanic voters. Those voters will
:06:18. > :06:20.not like this tough message and he knows that and he knows he has to
:06:21. > :06:28.tone down his rhetoric in order to win. We have reached a stage now
:06:29. > :06:32.where whatever happens will be politically seismic, Donald Trump
:06:33. > :06:36.who has never been elected or America's first woman president. It
:06:37. > :06:39.will be an unbelievably ugly campaign and the is nothing that
:06:40. > :06:45.Donald Trump wants the at Hillary Clinton. We have already had a taste
:06:46. > :06:52.of that, he has accused her of aiding and abetting her husband's
:06:53. > :06:56.philandering, he will bring up Bill Clinton's trade policies, he will
:06:57. > :07:01.attack after playing the woman's card, all of that we know will
:07:02. > :07:05.happen but the question is how she responds. Today her campaign are
:07:06. > :07:10.feeling confident that he is the best candidate they could hope to
:07:11. > :07:13.run against. It gives them the best opportunity of winning the White
:07:14. > :07:17.House but this year all the rules have been shredded that nothing is
:07:18. > :07:22.predictable and you would have to caution the campaign about getting
:07:23. > :07:25.too cocky too fast because in this particular year, when nothing is
:07:26. > :07:32.certain, who knows what will happen in November. The presidential
:07:33. > :07:36.debates could get massive viewing figures this time around. Almost
:07:37. > :07:40.certainly, look at the figures we got what Donald trump up against
:07:41. > :07:41.Republican candidates. Just imagine what it will be like up against
:07:42. > :07:44.Hillary Clinton. As Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton
:07:45. > :07:47.close in on their parties' presidential nominations,
:07:48. > :07:49.we'll keep you up to date on the remaining primaries -
:07:50. > :07:52.including the big one in California - and you can get the very latest
:07:53. > :07:56.on our website -at bbc dot where you'll find full analysis
:07:57. > :07:59.of how Trump's victory in Indiana forced Ted Cruz and John
:08:00. > :08:04.Kasich out of the race. Also keep across our twitter feeds -
:08:05. > :08:22.at BBCWorld and at BBCBreaking The first steps have been taken to
:08:23. > :08:28.grab Turkish citizens of these effete travel inside the Shengen
:08:29. > :08:32.area. They have recommended the change in return for Turkey taking
:08:33. > :08:33.back migrants who have tried to get inside the EU by making the
:08:34. > :08:35.dangerous journey by sea to Greece. The Commission's vice president said
:08:36. > :08:38.Turkey still has work to do but is on the way
:08:39. > :08:47.to meeting its requirements. Turkey has made impressive progress.
:08:48. > :08:53.There is still work to be done as a matter of urgency but if Turkey
:08:54. > :09:00.sustains the progress made and continues at the same pace, they can
:09:01. > :09:04.meet the remaining benchmarks. This is why we are now in a position to
:09:05. > :09:09.put forward a proposal which opens the way for the European Parliament
:09:10. > :09:10.and member states to decide to lift visa requirements once the
:09:11. > :09:11.benchmarks have been met. The Turkish Ambassador to the EU
:09:12. > :09:14.told the BBC he's confident Turkey can meet its remaining obligations
:09:15. > :09:29.for visa-free travel We have to change some legislation
:09:30. > :09:33.and implementation and we can ensure we are on the right track. We have
:09:34. > :09:38.been very closely in touch with the commission and Lee are the final
:09:39. > :09:42.arbiter. If they see it as a go-ahead that means we have met the
:09:43. > :09:42.criteria and I am sure we will do so.
:09:43. > :09:46.Let's get the view from the ground - from the BBC's Selin Girit
:09:47. > :09:47.in Istanbul, but first our correspondent in Brussels,
:09:48. > :09:56.It would mean that Turkish citizens would be free to travel to the
:09:57. > :10:00.countries within the European Union's Schengen area where people
:10:01. > :10:05.are allowed to cross borders without passports for up to 90 days, whereas
:10:06. > :10:08.at the moment they are subject to visa restrictions and have two apply
:10:09. > :10:12.in advance. Those restrictions would be lifted and they would be able to
:10:13. > :10:18.travel for business or tourism reasons for up to 90 days at a time.
:10:19. > :10:22.It is the plan but far from certain at the moment. The European
:10:23. > :10:27.Commission said it is getting qualified approval to it subject to
:10:28. > :10:30.attack a satisfying the five remaining outstanding conditions.
:10:31. > :10:35.They are big conditions, relating to changing the law to bring terrorism
:10:36. > :10:39.legislation into line with European standards and also changes to data
:10:40. > :10:44.protection and cracking down on corruption. Once those conditions
:10:45. > :10:49.are met, the European Parliament will vote on it later in June and
:10:50. > :10:53.ministers from each of the 28 member states of the European Union will
:10:54. > :10:57.have to vote on it at a summit towards the end of June. This is one
:10:58. > :11:04.of the three Macha dulls the plan has to overcome but is far from a
:11:05. > :11:08.done deal. Turkish public opinion has welcomed the recommendations to
:11:09. > :11:12.lift the visa restrictions but with caution because there are hurdles.
:11:13. > :11:18.Will the European Parliament be ratifying it considering there are
:11:19. > :11:22.criticisms coming from MEPs towards the Turkish government on what they
:11:23. > :11:27.call a crackdown of press freedom and minority rights? The other
:11:28. > :11:34.question, will the member countries of the EU be ratifying this deal
:11:35. > :11:39.coming from the European Commission? Also Turkey needs to meet five other
:11:40. > :11:45.criteria and one of these is the revision of the terror legislation
:11:46. > :11:50.which may prove difficult to deal with and might actually push for
:11:51. > :11:55.leaving that criterion aside, so there are several hurdles on the
:11:56. > :11:59.way. Turkish public opinion is welcoming the recommendations but
:12:00. > :12:01.will the Visa be lifted? That is still a question mark.
:12:02. > :12:04.Meanwhile, controversial new plans are being drawn up to reform asylum
:12:05. > :12:07.policy across the European Union, plans that would land member states
:12:08. > :12:10.with heavy fines if they refuse to take a share of asylum seekers.
:12:11. > :12:12.Under these plans, most EU governments refusing to accept
:12:13. > :12:15.asylum seekers would pay a fine of about to 290 thousand
:12:16. > :12:17.dollars for every person they refused to take.
:12:18. > :12:20.The fines would be triggered if Greece and Italy -
:12:21. > :12:22.the countries on the frontline of the migrant crisis -
:12:23. > :12:25.are deemed to be struggling to cope with a sudden influx of people.
:12:26. > :12:28.The UK government - like Ireland and Denmark -
:12:29. > :12:32.But it too is shifting its ground on the migrant crisis.
:12:33. > :12:34.Today it's announced that it will take more -
:12:35. > :12:36.we don't know how many - unaccompanied Syrian refugee
:12:37. > :12:39.The BBC's Chief International Correspondent Lyse Doucet has been
:12:40. > :12:42.spending in a migrant camp in Calais, France, where many boys
:12:43. > :12:54.both Afghan and Syrian are desperate to make their way to Britain.
:12:55. > :13:04.Hours after first light on a cold and bleak morning in Cali, boys
:13:05. > :13:08.struggle back to the shanty town to sleep. It's been another long night
:13:09. > :13:14.of trying to make it to Britain illegally and feeling. It's another
:13:15. > :13:21.day in the squalid camp they call the jungle. It's a hard life for
:13:22. > :13:26.grown-ups fleeing conflict and hardship, imagine what it is like
:13:27. > :13:36.for children on their own. They are scarred and skewered. But the Afghan
:13:37. > :13:40.boys at this centre say they won't stop until they reach family and a
:13:41. > :13:49.new future in Britain. They don't want their faces shown. Last night,
:13:50. > :13:54.I jumped into a lorry. The driver phoned me asleep. I was taken to a
:13:55. > :13:59.detention centre. By the time they let me go it was midnight and it
:14:00. > :14:04.took me four hours to walk back. It was raining and freezing cold, I was
:14:05. > :14:11.very scared. Did you think it was going to be this hard? I knew the
:14:12. > :14:16.journey would be hard but I didn't know it would be this hard once we
:14:17. > :14:24.got to Cali. I didn't know we would have to cross the sea to get to
:14:25. > :14:27.London. These boys are just some of the growing number of children
:14:28. > :14:32.travelling on their own across Europe and the risks they face are
:14:33. > :14:38.growing. Some 10,000 are already said to have gone missing so the big
:14:39. > :14:43.question is does Britain have moral and legal obligation to take care of
:14:44. > :14:49.at least some of them, including some of these boys who are just one
:14:50. > :14:53.hour's journey from London. This shack is home for the 16-year-old
:14:54. > :14:59.boy who fled Syria on his own six months ago. Today his older
:15:00. > :15:07.neighbour is making new window to let in some light, a godsend for the
:15:08. > :15:14.vulnerable body. He is still very young and get scared that night. He
:15:15. > :15:24.wakes up and cries for his parents. Sometimes he finds rats in his room.
:15:25. > :15:30.At night when you are in your tent, what do you dream about? I dream of
:15:31. > :15:38.getting to Britain to be with my family. She is trying to get into
:15:39. > :15:47.existing EU rules. Only a small number succeed. He is being helped
:15:48. > :15:51.by a British charity. Will this create an incentive for more
:15:52. > :15:55.families to send children on these journeys? We see the British
:15:56. > :16:00.government has a moral and legal obligation to step up and do more
:16:01. > :16:04.now. I work with children every day who don't only struggle with the
:16:05. > :16:07.pressure of living alone in a foreign continent but who are at
:16:08. > :16:16.risk from real dangers with sexual exploitation and human traffickers.
:16:17. > :16:20.As we are leaving, he gets news. He can go to Britain and apply for
:16:21. > :16:22.asylum. The question, how many will fall?
:16:23. > :16:25.US officials say an agreement has been reached with Russia
:16:26. > :16:26.on extending the Syrian truce to Aleppo.
:16:27. > :16:28.The announcement came as clashes continued in the city.
:16:29. > :16:32.Reports say dozens of people have been killed on both sides in fresh
:16:33. > :16:34.battles which began on Tuesday in the western area of the city.
:16:35. > :16:38.Meanwhile A United Nations aid official has accused the Syrian
:16:39. > :16:46.government of denying relief staff access to Aleppo.
:16:47. > :16:49.Huge wildfires have forced a mass evacuation from a city in Canada.
:16:50. > :16:51.The entire population - some 80,000 people -
:16:52. > :16:59.has been ordered to leave Fort McMurray in Alberta.
:17:00. > :17:01.Firefighters say 80% of properties have been destroyed
:17:02. > :17:03.in one neighbourhood, and serious damage has been caused
:17:04. > :17:05.Our correspondent Richard Galpin reports.
:17:06. > :17:12.Hot ash flying around the cars and smoke briefly
:17:13. > :17:17.With strong winds fanning the flames in and around the city,
:17:18. > :17:20.all 80,000 people living here have been ordered to leave
:17:21. > :17:29.We had basically two minutes to get home, grab stuff
:17:30. > :17:36.It is not fair, they didn't even let us take our things
:17:37. > :17:43.And getting out of the city has not been easy.
:17:44. > :17:46.With so many people taking to the roads and the fires at one
:17:47. > :17:51.stage blocking a major highway to the south.
:17:52. > :17:53.Our focus is completely and entirely right now on ensuring
:17:54. > :17:59.Of getting them out of the city and ensuring that they
:18:00. > :18:12.The blaze, first spotted on Sunday, has spread rapidly to the city
:18:13. > :18:15.and now covers an area of more than 6000 acres.
:18:16. > :18:19.It has already engulfed several areas of the city destroying one
:18:20. > :18:21.residential neighbourhood and a mobile home park.
:18:22. > :18:31.With even stronger winds and high temperatures expected today,
:18:32. > :18:37.the emergency services have been doing whatever they can
:18:38. > :18:47.But so far, that has not amounted to much and the authorities are now
:18:48. > :18:50.appealing to the military to help them battle this huge blaze.
:18:51. > :18:55.It's been the worst day of my career.
:18:56. > :18:57.The people are devastated, everyone is devastated,
:18:58. > :19:05.This will go on and take us a while to come back from.
:19:06. > :19:09.There have been fires in this area in the past but not on this scale
:19:10. > :19:24.and never before has an entire city had to be evacuated.
:19:25. > :19:27.The brutal gang rape and murder of a 14-year-old girl in Indonesia
:19:28. > :19:29.has sparked an intense debate about sexual violence
:19:30. > :19:32.The Minister for the protection of children Yohana Yembise,

:19:44. > :19:49.She was gang raped and murdered on her way home from school. Villagers
:19:50. > :19:54.found her body three days later but the news did not reach Jakarta until
:19:55. > :19:57.weeks later than these activists have staged this demonstration to
:19:58. > :20:02.make sure the case gets the national attention they say it deserves. We
:20:03. > :20:07.want to say to the government we are watching them. We want to watch them
:20:08. > :20:12.in dealing with cases of sexual violence against women because for
:20:13. > :20:21.so long we see them not being serious about it and we want to the
:20:22. > :20:27.clear that we are in a sexual violence crisis in Indonesia and it
:20:28. > :20:32.needs to be serious. Police have arrested 12 of a suspected 14
:20:33. > :20:37.rapists in this case. A lot of the activists say that many women do not
:20:38. > :20:45.report their cases to the police because they say there is a lot of
:20:46. > :20:49.stigma and blame the victim. If a woman is raped, people ask, how long
:20:50. > :20:54.was her dress? Was she wearing a hijab? That mindset has to change,
:20:55. > :20:57.the idea that women have to be covered.
:20:58. > :20:59.Pakistan is a country plagued by militant and sectarian violence,
:21:00. > :21:02.with many extremists groups fighting to establish strict Islamic Sharia

:21:36. > :22:00.Pakistan, fighting social evil and standing up for good.
:22:01. > :22:08.It becomes very dark. It is not dark but real. We want to make sure we
:22:09. > :22:22.show the real villains that are more evil than the villains in comics.
:22:23. > :22:29.I get frustrated and upset with what is happening but many people are
:22:30. > :22:34.trying to change minds, not just me. A lot of people are doing great
:22:35. > :22:38.work. We're interested to keep putting out our ideas narratives.

:22:46. > :22:47.Chanel products aren't sold in Cuba, but things are certainly changing,
:22:48. > :23:01.as our correspondent Will Grant reports from Havana.
:23:02. > :23:09.Chanel comes to Cuba. Just a handful of years ago, the idea that one of
:23:10. > :23:12.the world's leading fashion houses would hold its first Latin American
:23:13. > :23:20.show any communist country might have seemed absurd, but Cuba is
:23:21. > :23:27.changing fast, and Chanel's top designer chose it as the setting to
:23:28. > :23:31.unveil his latest range. He said the collection was inspired by Cuban
:23:32. > :23:36.culture and throughout the show they were hints of Cuban identity and
:23:37. > :23:39.iconography. VIPs from around the world have descended on Cuba which
:23:40. > :23:45.comes at a heady time for the island. It is perhaps at more than
:23:46. > :23:52.any time since the revolution the place to be and to be seen. It is a
:23:53. > :23:57.once-in-a-lifetime invitation to come to Cuba, which is a place that
:23:58. > :24:01.I have been wanting to come to three years and never expected to come

:24:11. > :24:17.event, security turned -- security had been predictably tight. While
:24:18. > :24:23.high profile events like the Chanel show an exciting for Cuba it causes
:24:24. > :24:28.a lot of disruption and perhaps more importantly, fuelling a growing
:24:29. > :24:31.sense of them and us. For many residents, having a high-end fashion
:24:32. > :24:39.show on their doorstep has not been a welcome distraction. This family
:24:40. > :24:46.live in a decrepit home sheared with several other families. There is no
:24:47. > :24:50.such thing as her banner's charming DK, just poverty. Chanel clothes are
:24:51. > :24:55.not even available to buy on Cuba, not that they would spend money on
:24:56. > :25:02.them even if the wearer. The average wage is only around $25 a month. If
:25:03. > :25:11.I had $200 I would buy clothes for my children and would not spend that
:25:12. > :25:15.money on trousers and shoes. Back at the show, the collection was
:25:16. > :25:22.received with great enthusiasm from audience and critics. Fashion
:25:23. > :25:28.watchers worldwide have Cuba in the sites as Chanel brought another
:25:29. > :25:31.touch of glamour to Havana, but while many Cubans welcome the
:25:32. > :25:35.extraordinary changes, they just hope they will not be left excluded.
:25:36. > :25:48.Donald Trump is set to represent the Republicans in November's
:25:49. > :25:53.presidential election. Hillary Clinton has just said she doesn't

:25:58. > :26:00.Thank you, goodbye.
