This is BBC World News Today with me Tim Willcox. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
After nearly a fortnight's searching, a signal | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
But will the recorder eventually reveal the truth behind the loss | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
The mystery of the 40 dead tiger cubs found in a freezer | :00:14. | :00:21. | |
at a controversial Thai Buddhist temple accused of involvement | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
One of the UK's most prolific paedophiles admits to more than 70 | :00:24. | :00:29. | |
charges of child sexual abuse in South East Asia. | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
And a new high-speed rail-link across Europe. | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
At more than 55 kilometres, the world's longest and deepest rail | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
We start with the Egyptair flight, which went missing | :00:41. | :01:03. | |
French investigators say they have detected signals from one | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
of the black box flight recorders from the Airbus A320, | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
and now face the challenge of retrieving it before it stops | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
The airliner left Paris in the evening for Cairo | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
It vanished from radar screens north of the Egyptian coast | :01:22. | :01:29. | |
Debris has since been recovered 290km north of Alexandria. | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
The Greek Defence Minister said the plane's last movements included | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
a 90 degree turn to the left, followed by a 360 degree turn | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
to the right - a claim the Egyptian authorities have disputed. | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
The plane is believed to lie at a possible depth of 3,000 metres | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
A specialist vessel carrying robots, able to dive to this depth, | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
They'll be searching underwater for the black box. | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
It could either be the device holding technical data or the one | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
Until the black box is recovered, any chance of discovering exactly | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
what happened to the plane remains slim. | :02:08. | :02:09. | |
Our correspondent in Cairo, Orla Guerin, has | :02:10. | :02:11. | |
For the country, it's been a great tragedy. | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
There has been a real sense of loss across this country, | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
keenly felt by families in many different areas. | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
There have been many poignant stories about the Egyptians | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
who were on that plane, why they were taking the flight. | :02:27. | :02:28. | |
For example, one woman who had been receiving cancer treatment in Paris | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
who had actually managed to beat the disease and who was on her way | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
home with her husband to her three small children, who were waiting | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
Both she and her husband were among the victims. | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
Initially, in the very early stages after the crash, the authorities | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
here said that a terrorist attack was more likely | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
Since then, officials have appeared to back away a bit from that line. | :02:50. | :02:58. | |
They are saying that all theories are still being investigated. | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
All possibilities are being considered. | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
We actually know what this point is that there are indications | :03:05. | :03:06. | |
of smoke and of a possible fire on board. | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
We don't know what started that experts stressing that | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
while the black boxes should provide some answers, they may have two rule | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
things out like, for example, a bomb or an attempt | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
They may not provide all of the answers that | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
We can get more now from aviation expert David Learmount, | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
who's a consulting editor at Flight Global. | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
She was stressing the point that maybe not all the data from this | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
light box will be there. But what sort of things will be here? -- | :03:41. | :03:51. | |
light box. -- will we here? If there's an explosion, even if it | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
blows the aeroplane apart, you will hear the beginning of it. There will | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
a pulse of sound or pressure and then everything goes dead. I don't | :04:01. | :04:07. | |
think we've got enough information at this point, which is why we so | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
desperately need the recorders, to know what happens. We don't know | :04:13. | :04:20. | |
whether there was a fire started by sabotage or whether it was a | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
straightforward electrical faults caused by maintenance, and oversight | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
of maintenance, or design. It's been discovered now within a | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
fortnight. The race is on to retrieve it from the sea bed, a long | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
way down. Is there a risk that this data recorder might have nothing on | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
it? The very same risk, but we've got | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
some pretty good information which suggests there is a good chance | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
it'll be working because the same team, the French investigation team, | :04:54. | :05:01. | |
back in 2009 started searching for thousand metres down in the South | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
Atlantic for the Air France aircraft that went missing. It took them two | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
years to find both the flight recorders and they both worked | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
completely. So, not only does this prove two things. First, they are | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
extremely good at finding these things. Secondly, they are quite | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
likely to tell us a lot. Do the electronics need to be dried | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
out, or is it in a watertight Capshaw which means once you've | :05:32. | :05:33. | |
retrieved it you can get that information? | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
-- capsule. It depends how much damage was done, | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
impact with is not much more gentle than impacting the surface of the | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
Earth. High-speed water is very, very hard. But they shouldn't need | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
drying out. If they do need trying out, they cancel be made to work. | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
It's quite remarkable what agencies like the EEA can find out. | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
Thus far, we have only found this more body parts and luggage, but not | :06:05. | :06:11. | |
the main fuselage of this aircraft. Would that be intact? | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
Well, we don't know. This is the thing, it's amazing how little we | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
know. I have a suspicion that more is known by the Egyptian authorities | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
than there are inclined to release at the moment. They haven't released | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
anything, for example, about the spread of the wreckage on the | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
surface. If the aircraft breaks up in the sky because of sabotage, the | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
wreckage is spread very widely and it's a good early indicator. But | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
they haven't said anything about how the wreckage that they have found | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
has been spread. I think they know more than they're saying. | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
Thank you for joining us. The University of California's Los | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
Angeles campus is on lockdown, Police are searching | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
university buildings, We don't know whether those victims | :06:59. | :07:20. | |
have been shot dead or injured. It is a large campus just outside Los | :07:21. | :07:22. | |
Angeles. Joining me now with more on this | :07:23. | :07:24. | |
story is our correspondent What is the latest information? | :07:25. | :07:35. | |
We first heard reports about one hour ago that there have been a | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
shooting at his university campus just to the west of the city of Los | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
Angeles. At this stage, we don't know a great deal of concrete | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
information. There were reports that two people had been injured although | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
I spoke to the LAPD about 20 minutes ago and they said they could not | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
confirm those reports. That doesn't necessarily mean that they're not | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
true. A spokesman at the scene may have been talking to local media. | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
Just to exercise some caution, we have heard reports that two people | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
may be "Down". We don't know whether that means they have been killed or | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
injured. What we do know is that the police are swarming around this | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
building. There has been a major response to this report of an active | :08:22. | :08:30. | |
shooter at the scene and authorities have responded very quickly. The | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
campus is in lockdown and people have been told to get to safety and | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
lock the door, do the usual things that people are told to do in | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
situations like this. At the moment, we have relatively little concrete | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
information on whether there is one shooter or more than one shooter. | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
Or, indeed, whether people have been injured. | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
There is always that campus alert system. We have heard a game that | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
police are telling everyone on campus to lock themselves inside | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
their rooms. -- heard the game. We believe this happened outside and | :09:03. | :09:09. | |
engineering campus. It is a big campus, tens of thousands of | :09:10. | :09:11. | |
students. There are 43,000 students studying | :09:12. | :09:18. | |
at the moment. It's a major international campus, a lots of | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
overseas students come to Los Angeles to study at UCLA. This is | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
happening close to the engineering building, we are told. But there are | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
many different disciplines. There is a large Medical School at UCLA. It | :09:32. | :09:38. | |
is a very densely populated area. It is somewhere between the city of Los | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
Angeles and Santa Monica which is on the coast. If you had West out of | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
Los Angeles, this is in the city of westward on the way to the coast. It | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
is a relatively small campus in that it is a concentrated area, lots of | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
winding roads around the campus to get to the various buildings. It is | :09:59. | :10:08. | |
really the major part of Westwood, the city revolves around the | :10:09. | :10:15. | |
university in this part of town. You can only imagine the chaos of the | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
police attention is causing today. Thank you very much. | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
Authorities in Thailand have discovered 40 dead tiger cubs | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
in a freezer during a raid on a temple accused of alleged | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
The temple is in Kanchanaburi province, to the west of Bangkok. | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
Known in English as "Tiger Temple", it had been suspected | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
Animal activists have long campaigned for its closure. | :10:35. | :10:41. | |
The gruesome discovery came during the ongoing operation | :10:42. | :10:44. | |
to remove more than 130 live tigers from the site. | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
A warning - the following report contains images which may | :10:48. | :10:49. | |
It was a raid to remove live tigers from a suspected animal trafficking | :10:50. | :10:58. | |
operation in Thailand's Kanchanabury province. | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
The last thing authorities expected was this shocking discovery. | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
Lined up, one by one, the 40 dead tiger cubs. | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
Some are believed to be just one or two days old. | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
They were found in a freezer at Tiger Temple on Wednesday. | :11:16. | :11:27. | |
TRANSLATION: We were told there are some remains of tiger | :11:28. | :11:29. | |
cubs in the freezer, so be asked to see them. | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
We found 40 dead cubs, horns, antlers | :11:33. | :11:33. | |
Tiger Temple has long been a tourist destination, making millions of | :11:34. | :11:40. | |
But 2001, authorities have been locked in a battle with those | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
who run the temple after allegations of wildlife trafficking | :11:47. | :11:48. | |
There's a question and a debate to have about how animals should be | :11:49. | :11:57. | |
kept in captivity and how they should be kept around tourists | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
But if this is being used as a facade for an illegal | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
trafficking business then that's very troubling. | :12:06. | :12:14. | |
The monks behind Tiger Temple have denied any wrongdoing. | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
A statement on their Facebook page says... | :12:18. | :12:28. | |
What is clear is that this once popular tourist attraction | :12:29. | :12:36. | |
faces a long road ahead, starting with the removal of the | :12:37. | :12:38. | |
remaining live tigers before authorities consider potential | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
It's the world's longest and deepest rail tunnel under the Swiss Alps, | :12:44. | :12:52. | |
and today it officially opened after almost two decades | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
Officials say the 35-mile Gotthard tunnel, a high-speed | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
link between northern and southern Europe, | :13:02. | :13:02. | |
will revolutionise freight transport, taking a million lorries | :13:03. | :13:04. | |
Today is the culmination of 20 years of hard graft. | :13:05. | :13:20. | |
The Swiss have been digging, blasting out enough rock to build | :13:21. | :13:28. | |
six Egyptian pyramids, all to provide a high speed rail link | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
through what are sometimes called Europe's biggest | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
through what are sometimes called Europe's biggest trade | :13:35. | :13:36. | |
Whether it's Italian olive oil going north, | :13:37. | :13:39. | |
or Scottish whisky going south, Europe's goods have got to get | :13:40. | :13:41. | |
In the middle ages, they were dragged up here by mule | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
Even today, much of Europe's freight relies on 19th-century railway | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
Until now, over 1 million heavy lorries a year have been | :13:51. | :14:04. | |
valleys with traffic, putting the fragile alpine | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
We have on biodiversity, every year, a loss of flora and fauna. | :14:10. | :14:16. | |
It's all a part of our policy that we have to protect not only | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
the atmosphere but also the Alpine region. | :14:20. | :14:30. | |
During test runs, trains have reached speeds of over 150 mph. | :14:31. | :14:39. | |
It will be hugely important to Europe's economy. | :14:40. | :14:46. | |
Hundreds of freight trains a day are expected to use it. | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
But it came with a hefty price tag for Switzerland. | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
At the Swiss believe if the new tunnel protects | :14:56. | :14:58. | |
the alpine environment, it will all have been worth it. | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
With me is Martin Knights, managing director of an international | :15:04. | :15:05. | |
You were there when the tunnel part was complete. The actual tunnelling | :15:06. | :15:19. | |
was done under 20 years? The hole in the ground was finished | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
in 2010. They spent the last six years kitting it out with railway | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
lines and safety equipment. It took just over ten years in a tunnelling | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
construction using four tunnel boring machines. | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
And that is pretty fast? Some of the rates of progress were | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
up to about 55 metres in one day. Generally, we are talking about 20 | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
metres a day. That is 40 minutes a day if you are going in off the | :15:48. | :15:50. | |
directions. -- 40 metres a day. Excavating all the Rock, where does | :15:51. | :16:03. | |
that go? What the machine does is it churns | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
up the rock and then takes it to the back of the machine by conveyor out | :16:08. | :16:10. | |
onto a railway system which goes out into the open. There is lots of cut | :16:11. | :16:16. | |
and fill in order to form a high-speed railway anywhere. All | :16:17. | :16:19. | |
that is generally needed for recycling on the job. | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
The Swiss had a referendum on this, didn't they? | :16:25. | :16:30. | |
They voted 84% in favour in 1994 because there was so much freight | :16:31. | :16:33. | |
traffic going through Switzerland on lorries. It was going between | :16:34. | :16:38. | |
Germany and Scandinavia perhaps. They voted for environmental reasons | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
and safety reasons in order to have something which was safer and | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
quicker. Switzerland is not a member of the | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
EU. It is not part of the trading agreement. Is this part of a | :16:52. | :16:54. | |
pan-European network? It is. There are two other tunnel is | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
now being planned between cheering and Leon -- Turin and Lyon. They are | :16:59. | :17:10. | |
now creating eastern and western Europe links. All to facilitate | :17:11. | :17:17. | |
trade. A bit like a modern-day silk Road. | :17:18. | :17:23. | |
Are there other projects internationally? Doesn't China want | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
some kind of tunnel would tie one? Absolutely. That is 150 kilometres. | :17:28. | :17:33. | |
It is stretching it, but the technology is there. The Norwegians | :17:34. | :17:36. | |
are also thinking about it. The technology has grown and the funding | :17:37. | :17:42. | |
is there. Everyone is behind these large tunnels. | :17:43. | :17:51. | |
Briefly, it's only for trains? Yes, trains only. | :17:52. | :17:54. | |
A 30-year-old man, believed to be one of the UK's | :17:55. | :17:57. | |
worst child abusers, is being sentenced | :17:58. | :18:00. | |
Richard Huckle has admitted 71 offences that he committed | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
His victims were aged between six months and 12 years old. | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
Richard Huckle sought out children in the poorest | :18:09. | :18:29. | |
But it's also the way he got close to this girl, | :18:30. | :18:45. | |
He took videos of me naked, and I told him I wanted | :18:46. | :18:56. | |
I didn't realise what he was doing because I was only three years old. | :18:57. | :19:00. | |
I don't want him to come back to Malaysia. | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
He targeted the vulnerable, getting to know them. | :19:05. | :19:11. | |
Staying in the slums for days on end. | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
Huckle was often at this woman's home. | :19:16. | :19:18. | |
But she says when her granddaughter was just 12, | :19:19. | :19:27. | |
To charities and orphanages where he helped out and targeted children. | :19:28. | :19:37. | |
That day he brought one of his victims. | :19:38. | :19:47. | |
But all too often it was a prelude to rape and abuse. | :19:48. | :20:00. | |
Tens of thousands of images and videos. | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
He then posted them in secret forums on the so-called "dark web". | :20:05. | :20:11. | |
Huckle also wrote a self-help guide for other would-be abusers, | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
It's not often that you get intimate access inside a police sting... | :20:15. | :20:22. | |
He was finally identified by police in Australia. | :20:23. | :20:28. | |
In one of the biggest ever investigations into sex offenders | :20:29. | :20:34. | |
Paul Griffiths is a former British detectives, now | :20:35. | :20:38. | |
How great a danger did he posed to children? | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
If he hadn't been arrested, if he hadn't have been | :20:43. | :20:45. | |
taken out of circulation, he would still be offending | :20:46. | :20:47. | |
He certainly struck me as the kind of person who would make | :20:48. | :20:54. | |
If he have the opportunity to offend against a child, | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
Huckle's victims are left traumatised. | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
Abused by a man who said he'd come to help them. | :21:04. | :21:06. | |
He used his face to seek them out and then betray them. | :21:07. | :21:19. | |
And update on the shooting at UCLA campus in Los Angeles. Police are | :21:20. | :21:36. | |
now confirming two victims at that shooting. The shooter is still at | :21:37. | :21:42. | |
large, according to police. SWAT teams are flooding the campus which | :21:43. | :21:48. | |
