: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

:08:26. > :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

: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

:10:49. > :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.

: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.

: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

: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
