:01:10. > :01:27.searching for the missing EgyptAir flight say that human remains,

:01:28. > :01:29.passenger belongings and wreckage have been found floating

:01:30. > :01:34.in the Mediterranean. Flight MS804 went missing

:01:35. > :01:37.in the early hours of yesterday morning, en route from Paris

:01:38. > :01:39.to Cairo with 66 passengers It was just entering Egyptian air

:01:40. > :01:44.space when it was last heard from. Debris from the plane has

:01:45. > :01:47.been found in the area, about 290 kilometres

:01:48. > :01:51.from the Egyptian coast. A huge international search is now

:01:52. > :01:54.underway, and focused on finding A possible oil slick

:01:55. > :01:58.within the search area has also been Our correspondent in Egypt

:01:59. > :02:08.is Quentin Somerville. In the village they

:02:09. > :02:13.pray and they mourn. Three men from separate families

:02:14. > :02:21.from this village died in After Friday prayers,

:02:50. > :02:58.that his son has passed. This was to be her

:02:59. > :03:02.first visit to Egypt. Most of the family are just too

:03:03. > :03:04.heartbroken His uncle agreed to

:03:05. > :03:15.tell us of their loss. TRANSLATION: What can

:03:16. > :03:18.we as for now that we have lost He is gone and his daughter

:03:19. > :03:23.has gone with him. This village is a long

:03:24. > :03:26.way from Paris. They lost three young

:03:27. > :03:36.men here and a child. They were enormously proud

:03:37. > :03:38.that they had gone out into the world

:03:39. > :03:40.to earn a living. There is some comfort today that

:03:41. > :03:43.Egypt has discovered some of the debris and belongings

:03:44. > :03:44.from the flight. There is a hope that eventually

:03:45. > :03:47.the bodies of the sons That came one step closer

:03:48. > :03:51.to happening today. Egypt's navy and air force

:03:52. > :03:55.was out searching again. Greece's defence minister

:03:56. > :04:00.announced the discovery. TRANSLATION: We have been briefed

:04:01. > :04:02.by the Egyptian joint rescue

:04:03. > :04:04.coordination centre about the discovery of a body

:04:05. > :04:06.part, two seats and luggage at the scene

:04:07. > :04:11.of the search, slightly to the south

:04:12. > :04:14.of where the plane signal was lost. More details are being learned

:04:15. > :04:18.about those who were on board. Richard Osman from Wales had a child

:04:19. > :04:20.who was only a few weeks old and

:04:21. > :04:22.a two-year-old daughter. His brother Alister spoke

:04:23. > :04:25.to the BBC. He said this could be

:04:26. > :04:30.an act of terrorism. Can they not see the results

:04:31. > :04:34.of their actions? Do they not see what is left over,

:04:35. > :04:37.what is left at the end That is left at the end of the day,

:04:38. > :04:43.a family deprived of We are now putting faces to names

:04:44. > :04:54.of others lost in the crash. They were mostly

:04:55. > :04:57.from France and Egypt. The pilot of the aircraft

:04:58. > :04:59.was Mohammed Shakir. His cousin spoke of

:05:00. > :05:00.his professionalism. 2000 hours in the same

:05:01. > :05:02.aircraft, I believe this All his colleagues

:05:03. > :05:07.say he is one of the In Egypt's towns and villages,

:05:08. > :05:13.there will be no peace until their And then they can fully

:05:14. > :05:21.turn their thoughts to what caused the plane to fall

:05:22. > :05:44.from a clear blue sky. With me is David Mearns. He is a

:05:45. > :05:49.deep sea recovery form. Thank you for joining us. From what you know

:05:50. > :05:55.now publicly, is it possible to see what has brought this plane down? Is

:05:56. > :06:00.it possible to see if it was an accident or attack? No, that is not

:06:01. > :06:05.possible. People like me, our skills is to go out and find the wreckage

:06:06. > :06:08.and then recover it for investigators to answer those

:06:09. > :06:13.questions. You have been involved in those such as yourself. Correct. How

:06:14. > :06:18.likely is that they find the black boxes? I think there is a high

:06:19. > :06:22.likelihood they will be able to do that. The first wreckage has now

:06:23. > :06:27.been found and it will allow them to narrow the crash site where it

:06:28. > :06:32.impacted on the sea bed. Then the next underwater phase will begin,

:06:33. > :06:37.searching with acoustic devices to listen to the underwater location

:06:38. > :06:42.devices that are attached to the black boxes. That will be the focus

:06:43. > :06:46.of any recovery efforts. That tells you the most amount of information

:06:47. > :06:54.in the shortest period of fine Flight MS804 time. There is an oil

:06:55. > :07:00.slick in this area, does that indicate anything specific? Yes, you

:07:01. > :07:06.can sample that oil and get some of the oil up and determine whether it

:07:07. > :07:12.is from a ship or whether it is aircraft oil. If it is aircraft oil

:07:13. > :07:16.and it is coming up from a point source on the sea bed, that is a

:07:17. > :07:21.really good way to localise the wreckage on the sea bed. From what

:07:22. > :07:25.we are seeing of how much wreckage there is, are you surprised by how

:07:26. > :07:30.little or how much there is? What happens to it, does it think? No, it

:07:31. > :07:37.is not all think. When a plane explodes in the side to the max guy

:07:38. > :07:43.or if it hits the surface intact, it does fragment and a lot of the

:07:44. > :07:50.objects float. The structure of the plane is such that it allows very

:07:51. > :07:56.large objects to actually float. As of this time, with only a couple of

:07:57. > :07:59.pieces of wreckage found, it is surprisingly at but we have only

:08:00. > :08:04.just got into the wreckage and there is a chance that they will find more

:08:05. > :08:09.tomorrow. As the determine the drifts, this is 24 hours or more

:08:10. > :08:14.after the plane has crashed, in that time it is possible that the

:08:15. > :08:18.wreckage could have drifted 15 or 20 miles. Lots of information obviously

:08:19. > :08:25.still needed. Thank you for joining us. We can speak now to our

:08:26. > :08:32.correspondent in Cairo. We have seen the incredibly distressing scenes

:08:33. > :08:36.from there with families talking now of learning their loved ones were on

:08:37. > :08:42.board this plane. How much information as the Government able

:08:43. > :08:47.to give to those families? Well, it is a day of mourning and grief here.

:08:48. > :08:51.Very little information provided by the Government apart from what they

:08:52. > :08:59.said that they have found some wreckage and some parts of bodies of

:09:00. > :09:03.the victims. There isn't much detail that are providing for the families

:09:04. > :09:07.here. Earlier today I spent some time in the hotel with the families

:09:08. > :09:16.were meeting with officials from Egypt air and they were in a very

:09:17. > :09:20.distressed situation. They are in a moment of sadness. I managed is big

:09:21. > :09:27.to one of them and he told me about his lost brother and this is what he

:09:28. > :09:32.said. I have lost my brother. He is married and has a boy and a girl.

:09:33. > :09:36.The boy is one and a half and the girl is three. He was the backbone

:09:37. > :09:40.of our family and he was loved by everyone. We have asked the

:09:41. > :09:44.advertisement more information. We need to find the bodies so that they

:09:45. > :09:51.can come back to us. We need to know what is going on. We need to know

:09:52. > :09:55.what is going on. They want to have the bodies of their loved ones and

:09:56. > :09:59.give them a proper burial. Today we have seen that there were some

:10:00. > :10:03.symbolic funerals with empty Coughlin 's, but for the families

:10:04. > :10:11.who have lost their loved ones, they want the real bodies they want to

:10:12. > :10:15.give them a proper farewell. -- empty coffins.

:10:16. > :10:18.Now a look at some of the days other news:

:10:19. > :10:20.To Syria - and Russia has proposed proposed carrying out joint

:10:21. > :10:22.airstrikes with the US-led coalition in the country.

:10:23. > :10:25.Moscow said the strikes could start as early as May the twenty-fifth

:10:26. > :10:28.and target the Islamist Nusra Front and other rebel groups who were not

:10:29. > :10:33.Fifa's ethics committee says the former head of German football,

:10:34. > :10:36.Wolfgang Niersbach, should be banned from the sport for two years.

:10:37. > :10:38.It's over a allegations a bribe was used to secure votes

:10:39. > :10:45.Mr Niersbach resigned as president of the German FA last year,

:10:46. > :10:54.India's highest ever temperature has been recorded

:10:55. > :10:56.in the state of Rajasthan, where it reached 51 degrees Celsius

:10:57. > :11:03.in the city of Phlodi on Thursday - beating a 60 record.

:11:04. > :11:05.The heatwave has already claimed dozens of lives,

:11:06. > :11:07.with no real reprieve expected until the monsoon

:11:08. > :11:13.The World Health Organization has announced that the strain

:11:14. > :11:17.of the Zika virus circulating in Cape Verde is the same as the one

:11:18. > :11:20.behind the thousands of cases in the Americas.

:11:21. > :11:24.Meanwhile, the US authorities have revealed that 157 pregnant women

:11:25. > :11:29.in America have tested positive for infection with the Zika virus.

:11:30. > :11:31.The Zika virus has been blamed for neurological disorders and birth

:11:32. > :11:38.This is the first time the Centers for Disease Control has released

:11:39. > :11:43.Let's get more on this with our global health

:11:44. > :11:57.First of all, on the US figures that have come out. All those who are

:11:58. > :12:01.pregnant, will be definitely infect their children will the children

:12:02. > :12:05.have problems? There is no definitely about anything involving

:12:06. > :12:10.this at the moment. There is still much that is unknown. We do not know

:12:11. > :12:14.what proportion of mothers who are infected with Zika will go on to

:12:15. > :12:19.have babies who are brain-damaged. The Centre for disease control

:12:20. > :12:28.released figures today and said to us that altogether there were almost

:12:29. > :12:35.300 mothers expecting who have been infected with Zika. 157 are from

:12:36. > :12:43.mainland US and the others from Puerto Rico. If you are than a dozen

:12:44. > :12:47.who have gone on to have a miscarriage or give birth to a

:12:48. > :12:52.brain-damaged baby, but clearly this is a very worrying development. The

:12:53. > :12:56.numbers have changed slightly how they have been counting these cases.

:12:57. > :13:00.It has jumped quite a lot in the last week, that is more about how

:13:01. > :13:04.they have been counting the cases rather than a jump in cases. It is a

:13:05. > :13:15.real concern for these mothers. President Obama is pushing for more

:13:16. > :13:20.funding. Yes, he is. He added for billion has been signed off. There

:13:21. > :13:24.is still a major gap. About $600 million has been allocated before

:13:25. > :13:27.today, but that money has been taken from other projects including

:13:28. > :13:33.fighting Ebola. The way President Obama phrased it was taking from

:13:34. > :13:37.Paul and giving to Peter. He is urging Congress to sign off the rest

:13:38. > :13:40.of this money because it is origin. He spoke in the last hour or two and

:13:41. > :13:42.this is what he said. To the extent that we want

:13:43. > :13:47.to be able to feel safe and secure and families

:13:48. > :13:53.who are of child-bearing years want to be able to feel

:13:54. > :13:56.as if they have confidence that when they travel and when they

:13:57. > :13:58.want to start a family, To the extent that is something

:13:59. > :14:02.we think is important. This is a pretty modest investment

:14:03. > :14:13.to get those assurances. President Obama they are. We have

:14:14. > :14:18.heard that the threat of this virus spreading to Africa and other parts

:14:19. > :14:23.of Asia, how big is that and how is it happening? It is a real concern.

:14:24. > :14:27.The world health organisation has said that parts of southern Europe

:14:28. > :14:30.should expect cases in the coming months as well. They could effect

:14:31. > :14:37.anywhere where there is the mosquito. This is the same mosquito

:14:38. > :14:42.that spreads other diseases. These are coming into play much more now,

:14:43. > :14:47.especially in Europe as it gets warmer. Anywhere that has these

:14:48. > :14:54.mosquitoes are at risk of having Zika cases. The world health

:14:55. > :14:58.organisation is telling countries in Africa that they need to prepare and

:14:59. > :15:02.start telling people, especially pregnant women, about the risks of

:15:03. > :15:08.Zika. You need to inform them of how to stay safe and crucially they

:15:09. > :15:16.neared to be investment in vaccines and there needs to be research.

:15:17. > :15:20.Protecting yourself from a mosquito bite is important. How does it

:15:21. > :15:28.actually spread though? Humans are the intermediaries's yes, the

:15:29. > :15:34.mosquito is the vector that infects humans. If somebody in Brazil

:15:35. > :15:40.travels to Cape Verde and they have been infected with Zika. They may

:15:41. > :15:46.not show symptoms but they go where the mosquito lives and that mosquito

:15:47. > :15:50.bites that person, picks up Zika and then infects others. Other

:15:51. > :15:55.mosquitoes that bite people who have been bitten, can also pick up Zika.

:15:56. > :16:00.It is complicated but you can see how easy it is to spread, especially

:16:01. > :16:07.with how much travel there is. That is very alarming. Thank you very

:16:08. > :16:13.much indeed. Over the last few days we have been bringing you first-hand

:16:14. > :16:16.experience of life in prison. On Thursday we were at Wandsworth

:16:17. > :16:21.prison in London. The problems there are mirrored in many jails around

:16:22. > :16:26.the world. In America there are three as many psychiatric patient in

:16:27. > :16:31.prison than hospital. Our correspondent was given special

:16:32. > :16:39.permission to film inside the prison and speak to the prisoners. This is

:16:40. > :16:45.what checking into America's largest health institution looks like. It is

:16:46. > :16:48.not the official role but when 30% of people being shuttled around from

:16:49. > :16:52.cell to cell and locked away in this jail is not to have psychiatric

:16:53. > :17:04.problems, that is what it has become.

:17:05. > :17:06.We watched as this man was processed into the jail,

:17:07. > :17:11.He was charged with criminal trespass, sleeping on someone else's

:17:12. > :17:18.42-year-old Robert is homeless and he has schizophrenia.

:17:19. > :17:20.We saw as he shuffled off into what is a tough world.

:17:21. > :17:23.In parts of the jail, up to 400 inmates are kept

:17:24. > :17:26.in a single room, where they eat, sleep and live all together.

:17:27. > :17:30.Many, of course, have committed far worse crimes than Robert.

:17:31. > :17:34.Those we spoke to complained of the conditions they lived in,

:17:35. > :17:36.but didn't want to be recorded for fear,

:17:37. > :17:41.But the number of those among the prison population with mental

:17:42. > :17:45.health problems appears to be ever-increasing.

:17:46. > :17:48.It is now thought there are more than three times the number

:17:49. > :17:54.of psychiatric patients incarcerated in America than are in hospitals.

:17:55. > :17:59.He's been locked up because he stole groceries

:18:00. > :18:10.Being incarcerated is no way to live.

:18:11. > :18:12.Not only is it being kept from your freedom,

:18:13. > :18:14.but being surrounded with the people that are here,

:18:15. > :18:23.The mentality of the individuals that you're locked up with.

:18:24. > :18:27.It can really get hard, it can be dangerous.

:18:28. > :18:33.There are some areas of the jail that do have the look

:18:34. > :18:37.Those running this facility have at least recognised that mental

:18:38. > :18:40.health provision needs to be a huge part of what they do.

:18:41. > :18:44.The new warden of the jail is even a psychologist.

:18:45. > :18:47.But what they can't change is a system which means so many

:18:48. > :18:49.people who should be treated in the community end up

:18:50. > :19:02.No different than if they had diabetes, but they

:19:03. > :19:07.Well, guess what, States throughout the country,

:19:08. > :19:10.throughout the United States, have decimated the mental health

:19:11. > :19:18.So where do these people end up then?

:19:19. > :19:23.And it's been going on now for decades.

:19:24. > :19:25.There does seem to be recognition that too many people

:19:26. > :19:27.in America are going to jail, particularly those with

:19:28. > :19:30.That can only be resolved with fundamental changes

:19:31. > :19:32.in the justice system here and improved mental health

:19:33. > :19:39.But both those things feel a long way off.

:19:40. > :19:49.The Turkish parliament has approved a controversial

:19:50. > :19:53.law that will strip MPs of their immunity from prosecution.

:19:54. > :19:56.Dozens of them from various parties could now find themselves in court.

:19:57. > :19:58.Pro-Kurdish politicians say the government's designed law

:19:59. > :20:01.in an effort to drive them and other opposition representatives out

:20:02. > :20:06.Well, one of the MPs who took part in the vote earlier today

:20:07. > :20:15.Ertugrul Kurkcu is the Honorary President of the HDP Party.

:20:16. > :20:30.Many thanks for joining us. Why are you opposed to this change proposed

:20:31. > :20:36.by the President? Actually, there is no need for the deputies to be tried

:20:37. > :20:43.in this way. There was an ordinary way that the majority party could

:20:44. > :20:48.decide who would go to the court after the discussion in the

:20:49. > :20:53.parliament. The commission and the assembly and make a decision for

:20:54. > :21:01.every individual after their defence. Now all the rights for

:21:02. > :21:11.defence and the individuality of the debate has been removed and there is

:21:12. > :21:23.a total lifting of the desert for certain people. In other departments

:21:24. > :21:30.of Justice Ministry will be anonymously lifted. The Government

:21:31. > :21:35.says that nobody, even members of Parliament cat should be immune from

:21:36. > :21:51.prosecution. -- should be immune from prosecution. The immunity means

:21:52. > :21:56.community from prosecution. There is no valid reason now. You think this

:21:57. > :22:02.is another blow to democracy in Turkey, as other critics have said.

:22:03. > :22:07.As that's right? Yes, of course. This is what the majority does to

:22:08. > :22:13.their minority. The majority party who holds the majority of the seats

:22:14. > :22:17.and the parliament tries to oust the minority out of the Parliament.

:22:18. > :22:31.There is nothing to do with democracy here. Secondly, all those

:22:32. > :22:37.charges directed against the deputies are simply addressing it to

:22:38. > :22:46.the people outside of the Parliament. They are going to be

:22:47. > :22:49.tried but not for any deed. We are just showing some pictures and you

:22:50. > :22:57.can probably hear the sound of the disruption in the last few days. Can

:22:58. > :23:02.I just ask you, any sense, Turkey wants to get to membership of the

:23:03. > :23:06.European Union. That is going to be these free travel potentially for

:23:07. > :23:11.people from Turkey into Europe, do you think that is a good idea now as

:23:12. > :23:16.the Government increases these moves? Do you think there is a

:23:17. > :23:22.security threat in Turkey from people coming to Europe? Actually,

:23:23. > :23:27.everybody should be free to travel everywhere in the world. If Turkey

:23:28. > :23:33.is now discussing with Europe that Turkey is going to get views as

:23:34. > :23:37.because Turkey is a democratic country and Turkey is going to meet
