:00:08. > :00:09.This is BBC World News Today with me, Phillipa Thomas.

:00:10. > :00:12.Our top story: the first schoolgirl has been be rescued after the mass

:00:13. > :00:16.She's already telling rescuers most of the other young women

:00:17. > :00:19.from Chibok are alive - two years after an outraged world

:00:20. > :00:35.The BBC gets extraordinary evidence of crime and disorder inside

:00:36. > :00:40.presidents as the Government promises the most radical overhaul

:00:41. > :00:45.since Victorian times. The Chibok virus could spread to Europe this

:00:46. > :00:46.summer. The World Health Organisation tells us about the hot

:00:47. > :00:49.spots. And recognition for the British

:00:50. > :00:51.songwriters penning songs for the biggest global stars

:00:52. > :00:53.in music - we'll bring you more The Nigerian army has confirmed that

:00:54. > :01:17.one of the Chibok schoolgirls kidnapped by the insurgent group

:01:18. > :01:19.Boko Haram has been found - the first to be

:01:20. > :01:27.rescued in two years. More than 200 girls were kidnapped

:01:28. > :01:29.by militants from a boarding school in the north-east

:01:30. > :01:31.of the country in 2014. Will Ross has been monitoring

:01:32. > :01:34.developments and sent this report. One of the 200 schoolgirls

:01:35. > :01:36.kidnapped by Boko Haram Activists confirmed to the BBC

:01:37. > :01:40.that Amina Ali was found by a vigilante group,

:01:41. > :01:42.close to the border with Cameroon. If confirmed, she'll be the first

:01:43. > :01:45.of the schoolgirls to be found At last, some good news

:01:46. > :01:57.for the relatives in Chibok. Members of the civilian joint task

:01:58. > :02:00.force operating in the local government area have rescued one

:02:01. > :02:05.of the kidnapped Chibok schoolgirls. The local TV station announcing that

:02:06. > :02:09.one of the missing schoolgirls Initial reports say a civilian

:02:10. > :02:17.vigilante group found her with a young baby in a remote area

:02:18. > :02:24.of north-east Borno state. The group doing their normal patrol

:02:25. > :02:27.discovered one girl and she is one Everyone in Chibok identified her,

:02:28. > :02:41.even the parents and the leaders. I am absolutely certain

:02:42. > :02:43.because this is coming directly from our people who are affected

:02:44. > :02:56.and they will never lie. This is the boarding school

:02:57. > :02:58.from where 276 schoolgirls They were taken at night

:02:59. > :03:06.and loaded onto trucks. They were driven off

:03:07. > :03:10.into the forest. A small number escaped soon

:03:11. > :03:12.after capture, but 219 The schoolgirls were seized by this

:03:13. > :03:21.jihadist group, Boko Haram, who have been trying

:03:22. > :03:23.to establish an Islamic State. The brutal group has killed

:03:24. > :03:26.thousands of people and abducted hundreds of people from towns

:03:27. > :03:28.and villages right There have been brief glimpses

:03:29. > :03:37.of the missing Chibok students. The last was this video,

:03:38. > :03:39.believed to have been made last A small group of missing students

:03:40. > :03:44.stated their names and confirmed The Nigerian military has put out

:03:45. > :03:51.a statement saying its troops rescued one female student

:03:52. > :03:56.near a town. Having been heavily criticised

:03:57. > :04:01.for failing to locate the missing students, they will be keen to tell

:04:02. > :04:04.the world they helped save her life. The mass abductions sparked a global

:04:05. > :04:07.campaign and the hashtag bring No one could understand how so many

:04:08. > :04:14.girls could go missing For one family, the torturous wait

:04:15. > :04:21.is now finally over. The great hope is that more

:04:22. > :04:39.relatives will be reunited I am joined now by a Nigerian human

:04:40. > :04:45.rights advocate and founder of the charity women of Africa. The BBC

:04:46. > :04:49.brought this news to you today. Wonderful news. It is so wonderful.

:04:50. > :04:54.We know it is a small game but it gives us hope and also it gives us

:04:55. > :04:59.the opportunity to hope that the girls have not been used as suicide

:05:00. > :05:05.bombers, so hopefully the other children, girls will come home and

:05:06. > :05:10.we are looking forward to it. For me, it is a huge, huge victory

:05:11. > :05:18.because the loss of the Chibok girls has represented a big sore in the

:05:19. > :05:22.consciousness of my nation and of my generation because we could not keep

:05:23. > :05:28.our children safe. That is what it meant. You mention the possibility

:05:29. > :05:31.that the girls had been used as suicide bombers. We also worried

:05:32. > :05:36.that they could have been trafficked. You hardly dared to hope

:05:37. > :05:41.that they were still in the forest. Yes, it is amazing. She has been to

:05:42. > :05:44.a lot and it just shows the resilience of the African woman

:05:45. > :05:49.because what they have done is they have been able to survive through

:05:50. > :05:54.unimaginable conditions, but we are glad we have got her back and she

:05:55. > :06:08.will now be able to tell us more about the girls who are still there.

:06:09. > :06:13.We hear that some have died. We just hope that this will be the beginning

:06:14. > :06:18.of something good. You are absolutely right to point out that

:06:19. > :06:22.this mass abduction hasn't been the only abduction. So many girls and

:06:23. > :06:26.young men have been taken as well. I did it help to have the world

:06:27. > :06:30.focused on the problem in Nigeria with that campaign? Without it, the

:06:31. > :06:34.bring back the girls campaigners would not have been able to stay

:06:35. > :06:38.there and campaign. Because one of the things that we continuously

:06:39. > :06:41.raise with the media and the BBC at the time was please keep this

:06:42. > :06:47.pressure on because with the pressure comes the fact that the

:06:48. > :06:55.world is watching and so those that are on the street carrying the

:06:56. > :06:58.placards... We noticed they could be manhandled and pushed away and were

:06:59. > :07:05.considered troublemakers, but because the media stayed on, the

:07:06. > :07:16.world media, and world figures came involved, it became a big issue for

:07:17. > :07:20.the Government and I am sure that we should have called for the

:07:21. > :07:25.president, Goodluck Jonathan, to stay aside because you cannot rule

:07:26. > :07:30.over a country when everything is melting before your hands. It meant

:07:31. > :07:35.that the military were not able to do their job to protect the

:07:36. > :07:40.integrity of my country. And now we have to hope that they are able to

:07:41. > :07:44.help get back some more. Yes. We have to leave it there, but it is so

:07:45. > :07:47.good to have you in the studio to talk about this. Thank you.

:07:48. > :07:49.The British government is promising the biggest shakeup since Victorian

:07:50. > :07:51.times of the prison system in England and Wales.

:07:52. > :07:54.Its plan for radical reforms was at the heart of today's

:07:55. > :07:56.ceremonial Queen's Speech to parliament, setting out

:07:57. > :08:00.To start with, six prisons will be overhauled, and the BBC's Ed Thomas

:08:01. > :08:04.has spent the last week at one of them, Wandsworth Prison.

:08:05. > :08:14.The BBC has been given unprecedented access inside a

:08:15. > :08:25.Over seven days, we saw the fear and violence.

:08:26. > :08:35.If you can't defend yourself, you will become a victim.

:08:36. > :08:46.And the prison officers pushed to the very edge.

:08:47. > :08:47.I think I'm probably the most stressed

:08:48. > :09:09.A prisoner has refused to go back to his cell.

:09:10. > :09:13.inmate in the middle of all of this murdered a man in a fight.

:09:14. > :09:18.We can't identify him, but he told us he was trapped

:09:19. > :09:23.I've had warfare with politics in jail.

:09:24. > :09:25.I've got sliced down the side of the face.

:09:26. > :09:32.I said you are putting me in a predicament where I have no

:09:33. > :09:36.alternative but to utilise violence for my safety.

:09:37. > :09:38.They are so short-staffed here, this place can't run,

:09:39. > :09:53.Next B wing and the smell of cannabis is everywhere.

:09:54. > :09:59.It's overwhelming, especially up here.

:10:00. > :10:03.And then we see it - a group smoking below us, in full

:10:04. > :10:12.How do you feel about people smoking cannabis down there?

:10:13. > :10:24.If you want some cannabis I can get you some.

:10:25. > :10:40.Obviously it is not good, it defeats everything we can

:10:41. > :10:45.You don't have to look far to find drugs in

:10:46. > :10:48.Take Ashley, who has only just arrived.

:10:49. > :10:50.He says all drugs are available at all times.

:10:51. > :11:00.All I've got to do is go down to the twos,

:11:01. > :11:09.Then there's the alcohol brewed in cells.

:11:10. > :11:16.And the mobile phones too, all smuggled

:11:17. > :11:24.Smartphone - several hundred quid they go for retail

:11:25. > :11:32.This prisoner asked us not to show his

:11:33. > :11:45.They charge you ?500 a parcel, the size

:11:46. > :11:50.of, say, three tennis balls full of drugs,

:11:51. > :12:00.The BBC was invited here to hear these stories, to see

:12:01. > :12:06.the pressure from a Governor who's demanding change.

:12:07. > :12:09.The one thing that I absolutely cannot stand, one of

:12:10. > :12:13.the things I want to do with reform is to think very carefully about how

:12:14. > :12:16.do we deal with those issues of corruption and what do we do to

:12:17. > :12:18.tackle the staff bringing those drugs in.

:12:19. > :12:21.That will deal with some of the issues you've highlighted and

:12:22. > :12:32.But how long will this prison reform take?

:12:33. > :12:34.The pressure inside is building now, and officers are getting hurt.

:12:35. > :12:36.At the moment he's been the victim of an

:12:37. > :12:40.My wife worries that I'm not going to come home.

:12:41. > :12:50.If she could, she would have me out of the job.

:12:51. > :12:52.Wandsworth has been Andy Toppign's life.

:12:53. > :12:58.I believe my staff want to make a difference.

:12:59. > :13:02.What's happening to your mental health?

:13:03. > :13:04.I don't think people care about what's happening to my

:13:05. > :13:09.What is happening to your mental health?

:13:10. > :13:11.I think I'm probably the most stressed I've been

:13:12. > :13:19.If I'm like my colleagues, I will retire and I

:13:20. > :13:29.This prison revolution, a promise to fix broken

:13:30. > :13:42.The World Health Organisation has warned that the Zika virus

:13:43. > :13:45.could spread to parts of Europe in its coming summer months.

:13:46. > :13:47.The WHO says the Black Sea coast of Russia and Georgia

:13:48. > :13:50.and the Portuguese island of Madeira are highly like to see

:13:51. > :13:54.The mosquito-borne disease can cause severe birth defects -

:13:55. > :14:05.With me is our global health correspondent, Tulip Mazumdar.

:14:06. > :14:11.Tell us more about the level of risk we're looking at here. Well, the

:14:12. > :14:14.World Health Organisation has made an assessment and they have said the

:14:15. > :14:19.risk to Europe is low to moderate, but with temperatures increasing,

:14:20. > :14:26.summer is upon us and areas getting warmer, this is a condition where

:14:27. > :14:31.the mosquito flourishes and in areas where the do find this mosquito,

:14:32. > :14:36.these are areas where they could be cases. Madeira, the Portuguese

:14:37. > :14:40.island, that has this type of mosquito and it is highly likely to

:14:41. > :14:43.have cases according to the World Health Organisation in the summer.

:14:44. > :14:47.It also pointed to 18 other countries that it described as being

:14:48. > :14:51.moderately likely to have cases if further precautions are not taken

:14:52. > :14:55.and those countries including France, Greece, Italy and Spain. So

:14:56. > :14:59.what is the advice? Clearly, there is more worrying for pregnant women.

:15:00. > :15:03.What has been learned from South and Central America as we have seen that

:15:04. > :15:08.go through? It is important to remember that there haven't been any

:15:09. > :15:11.local transmission of Zika in Europe so far. So this is really a flag

:15:12. > :15:14.that is going up, saying to these countries, the summer is coming and

:15:15. > :15:18.we know that the musty joke that carries the Zika is in some of these

:15:19. > :15:21.countries and you need to be prepared. -- the mosquito.

:15:22. > :15:26.Practically, but they can do is making sure they pick it up when it

:15:27. > :15:28.happens and the World Health Organisation has said that most

:15:29. > :15:32.countries have a very good surveillance system in place. It is

:15:33. > :15:36.also about informing people, people knowing how to protect themselves,

:15:37. > :15:40.wearing mosquito repellent, clearing stagnant water reading grounds of

:15:41. > :15:44.mosquitoes, and the main concern is for pregnant women, because for most

:15:45. > :15:47.people it is not considered a particular problem. It is this link

:15:48. > :15:50.with babies being born with brain damage so it is really getting that

:15:51. > :15:54.information out there and making sure that these countries are really

:15:55. > :15:58.standing by. As you say, for most of the countries you met mention, it is

:15:59. > :16:02.a low risk. The travel advice has not changed at all. If you're

:16:03. > :16:06.planning on going on holiday to many of these places, the advice has not

:16:07. > :16:11.changed, but it is just about being vigilant and just about these

:16:12. > :16:15.countries being ready. The W H O has been accused in the past is not

:16:16. > :16:19.taking action when it needed to. This time it is being as cautious as

:16:20. > :16:23.it can be, making sure that every bit of precautionary advice is given

:16:24. > :16:26.before the event rather than during worse, afterwards. The head of the

:16:27. > :16:27.curve this time. Thank you very much.

:16:28. > :16:30.Now a look at some of the day's other news.

:16:31. > :16:33.French media have said that a "last testament" has been discovered

:16:34. > :16:36.that was written by a key suspect in the Brussels bombings in March.

:16:37. > :16:39.Mohamed Abrini, the "man in the hat" pictured at Brussels airport,

:16:40. > :16:42.had attempted to erase the document which was found on a computer.

:16:43. > :16:44.The text suggests he approved of November's Paris attacks

:16:45. > :16:59.Authorities in Sri Lankan say 37 people have died in landslides in

:17:00. > :17:07.Central Sheila Lang following torrential rain. Rescuers are still

:17:08. > :17:08.rescuing for people who are missing. 315,000 people have been displaced

:17:09. > :17:09.across the island. Protesters in the Venezuelan

:17:10. > :17:11.capital, Caracas, have clashed with police after they blocked

:17:12. > :17:13.about one thousand marching on the headquarters

:17:14. > :17:15.of the National Electoral Council. It is one of several rallies taking

:17:16. > :17:17.place across Venezuela, demanding a recall referendum

:17:18. > :17:22.against President Nicolas Maduro. The Opposition blames his socialist

:17:23. > :17:24.policies for the country's The government announced

:17:25. > :17:26.it would take measures As a candidate, he's defied

:17:27. > :17:31.conventional political Now in a shift from current US

:17:32. > :17:35.foreign policy, the presumptive presidential election, Donald Trump,

:17:36. > :17:39.has said he would be willing to talk to the North Korean leader

:17:40. > :17:56.about his country's nuclear I would have no problem speaking to

:17:57. > :17:59.him. At the same time, I would put a lot of pressure on China because we

:18:00. > :18:04.have a lot of economic power over China. People do not realise that.

:18:05. > :18:10.They are extracting billions of dollars out of our country and we

:18:11. > :18:11.have tremendous power over China. China can solve that problem with

:18:12. > :18:17.one meeting one phone call. Now, some extraordinary film that

:18:18. > :18:19.might change the way The film, which is

:18:20. > :18:22.exclusive to the BBC, shows a group of chimpanzees

:18:23. > :18:24.mourning one of their number in ways that frankly

:18:25. > :18:33.we would think of as "human". It happened in Zambia, at the

:18:34. > :18:35.Chimfunshi Wildlife Orphange Trust. The ape that died

:18:36. > :18:37.was a nine-year-old chimpanzee known to human

:18:38. > :18:39.observers as Thomas. With me to talk about the film

:18:40. > :18:50.is Melissa Hogenboom. Keller is a little bit more about

:18:51. > :18:53.what you observed. It was really a remarkable discovery. The caretakers

:18:54. > :18:56.came at the right time and saw that this chimp was lying on the ground.

:18:57. > :19:00.It is quite a big century so it is quite rare that they could spot it

:19:01. > :19:03.and they saw a group of chimps actually gathered around him and

:19:04. > :19:05.touching him and prodding him and what was really remarkable was that

:19:06. > :19:13.one of his closest companions, who was really his adoptive mother, he

:19:14. > :19:17.was the one that kept coming back and pushing others away and touching

:19:18. > :19:20.him. Over a period of 20 minutes, even though the caretakers were

:19:21. > :19:24.giving other chimps food, the group of over 20 of them stood around and

:19:25. > :19:30.appeared to be morning Thomas. Now, we have seen before mothers and

:19:31. > :19:34.children, but what seems particularly unusual here is from

:19:35. > :19:38.what was observed of the group it is a friend, it is a social

:19:39. > :19:42.relationship that he has morning. Exactly. It is really the first time

:19:43. > :19:46.they have seen in such detail that an older member of the group has

:19:47. > :19:49.companions like that. We have seen the instances of a young infant

:19:50. > :19:53.dying and the mother holding on to it but the group does not get

:19:54. > :19:55.involved in the way that they have here and it really against immense

:19:56. > :19:59.this chimpanzee society as an incredibly sociable group. They are

:20:00. > :20:02.a social species, just like us. Their social world is really

:20:03. > :20:06.important to them and they remember each other even when they die. We

:20:07. > :20:10.are showing our viewers some of those pictures. You see, everybody

:20:11. > :20:14.huddled around the body of Thomas and anyway, I suppose it says to as

:20:15. > :20:19.we underestimate the complexity and the depth of feeling that these apes

:20:20. > :20:22.can have. This is what I love about when I studied chimpanzees and when

:20:23. > :20:24.I look at new insights into their behaviour. They're not that

:20:25. > :20:27.different from ours. They are our closest cousin in the animal kingdom

:20:28. > :20:29.and looking at their behaviour gives as a unique insight into how we

:20:30. > :20:44.might have evolved because we split off with

:20:45. > :20:47.them from a common ancestor over 6 million years ago, sued really gives

:20:48. > :20:50.us a unique insight into how we got to be the social animal we are

:20:51. > :20:53.today, and they are really not that different. And is there a lot of

:20:54. > :20:56.interest in the world of science about what this team has been able

:20:57. > :20:58.to observe on almost by accident? It is a very new finding, just this

:20:59. > :21:01.month. I think there will be plenty of interest. It is the first

:21:02. > :21:03.observation of its kind. We have seen similar behaviour in species

:21:04. > :21:06.such as elephants and crows who also recognise their dead and it seems to

:21:07. > :21:09.be a thing that happens to a very social animals or animals with

:21:10. > :21:12.bigger brains do seem to rely on their social companions in their

:21:13. > :21:16.day-to-day lives. I know that what your film is about is observing what

:21:17. > :21:18.happens at the animals and the way that they mourn but it also says

:21:19. > :21:22.something about the way that we treat animals, the way humans treat

:21:23. > :21:26.the apes, I suppose, and the way we keep them. Yes, it really shows that

:21:27. > :21:30.apes are a very social animal and we need to be aware of that when we

:21:31. > :21:36.take care of them and this is an orphanage, this is a place where

:21:37. > :21:40.abandoned chimps can have centuries of this is a really nice big

:21:41. > :21:44.enclosure for these chimps who have not been able to live in a while to

:21:45. > :21:48.adjust shows that we need to treat them with respect and give them

:21:49. > :21:51.space and understand that they are social and/or social relationships

:21:52. > :21:54.are so important. You can just take one chip out of the group and expect

:21:55. > :21:57.them to do well elsewhere. You have to keep them with the people that

:21:58. > :22:00.they love and care about because that is how the drive. Thank you so

:22:01. > :22:01.much for coming to Doctor was about that. Exclusive footage of the

:22:02. > :22:16.chimpanzees. A powerful earthquake has struck in

:22:17. > :22:21.Ecuador. It follows a smaller quake which struck earlier in the date and
