10:01 am
after "12 years a slave" actress lupita nyong'o's dress is stolen from her hotel room. >> we are talking about airbus. i tell you what 2015 proved to be a very healthy year because despite the cost over the latest in this military aerkt, the a-400m, airbus' profits were up 59%. why? i'll tell you, record passenger jet deliveries. we have the big boss live on the program and we have plenty to talk about. hello and welcome to the program. it is a new day in washington 7:00 a.m. in london and 2:00 p.m. in syria, where mohammed emwazi is still believed to be at large.
10:02 am
the family members of hostages who were we bedheaded by him want him to be captured alive to face justice. he is said to come to the attention of the intelligence services as a suspected extremist back in 2009. they even tried to recruit him as an informant before he disappeared into syria. bbc's sarah corker reports. >> reporter: his menacing threats have become familiar. we now know the man behind the mask known as jihadi john is mohammed emwazi, the 27-year-old computing graduate. but how diz this west london schoolboy turn into an executioner for the islamic group? >> today your military air force attacked in iraq. >> reporter: he's appeared in several videos showing the beheading of western hostages. rumors of his identity prompted an emotion nam response from the
10:03 am
leader of the british hostage, david haines. >> i think the moral satisfaction for the families for all the people that he murdered are because if he gets the action that will be enough for him. and that is the last thing i actually want for someone like him. >> reporter: yesterday, police officers arrived edd at the house where he used to live in the capital. the 27-year-old had been a student at the university of westminster and graduated in 2009. >> working at the university of westminster, we found over the past few years, a number of events featuring extremist preachers and large amounts of extremist materials being shared with students. so it's only reasonable to conclude that a similar situation was happening during his time at the university. >> reporter: but the university says it condemns the promotion of radicalization and has strict policies to promote tolerance.
10:04 am
it's also emerged that emwazi was known to mi5 and allegedly tried to recruit him as an informer. questions are now being asked how a known extremist was able to slip through the net join jihadist fighters in syria. >> we're going to do everything we can with the police with the security services with all that we have at our disposal to find these people and put them out of action. >> reporter: the intelligence services are piecing together mohammed emwazi's journey from a quiet london suburb to the war and horror of the islamic state. sarah corker bbc news. now to the story that's caused outrage around the world for the brutality meted out to a maid by her own employer. a hong kong woman who punched and abused her maid and made her sleep in a cupboard has been sentenced to six years in prison. the maid suffered broken teeth, scratches all over her body and had a metal vacuum cleaner tube
10:05 am
jammed into her mouth. the case has forced the indonesian government to look at better ways to protect its workers. from indonesia, our report. >> reporter: a hard-won victory and one that has shone a spotlight on indonesian women working overseas. at the center of this case a 24-year-old, once a shy indonesian maid now the symbol of a movement to end what she and others like her say is modern-day slavery. >> translator: i hope that my case will become a lesson to other employers not to hurt and not to insult their domestic workers. because after all, we are all human beings and we have the same lives. >> reporter: images of the abuse aliahna suffered made headlines in indonesia, leading to public
10:06 am
outrage. she reports how she was forced to live on nothing but tiny portions of bread and rice was beaten regularly, and at one point had a vacuum cleaner showed down her throat. it's not clear whether her hong kong employer will appear at the sentence, but activists say the ruling says it's a stern warning to employers of domestic workers in hong kong. it's thought that at least 3 million indonesian workers are currently working abroad. most of them young women, mainly as domestic helpers. they spend close to $8 million home to their families. they are a vital source of income. but they are also often the victims of physical and sexual abuse. many of the crimes against them go unreported. . >> reporter: they want to stop sending their migrant workers overseas to protect them but activists say this is
10:07 am
unrealistic. the main reason that indonesia women go abroad as maids is because there are no better-paying alternatives here at home. until the government creates better jobs here in indonesia, it's very likely indonesian women will continue to find work elsewhere, to make a better life for their families. you're watching bbc world news. in other stories, the german parliament has approved plans to extend the international fallout for greece until june. the deal reached last week between greece and its partners was passed by a large majority. in greece before the german parliament, hundreds of people took to the streets of athens breaking shop windows, angry that the government sure of the reforms they promised at the election. the first demonstrations against the syriza party since it took power a month ago. a bangladeshi american

10:09 am
>> reporter: the village held by the ukrainian forces just west of the airport near the city of donetsk, as you can see, this place has been shattered. there have been attempts at fighting here with artillery. in fact we heard a few shell impacts just while we've been here. bear in mind, there is a truce at the moment. the ukrainian soldiers that we've spoken to are very angry at their own leadership for what they view as a serious or disaster, caused by contradictory orders from the top. they are now using the truce as an tount rearm and regroup. in fact, both sides, the russians and the ukrainians seem to be just using the troops as a pause before the next round of hostilities. >> paul walter near donetsk. stay with us here on bbc world news. still to come. the new images showing just how far dust from is a hara travels from around the world. o big or stay home.

10:12 am
. eugenics, the practice of creating a genetically superior human population was championed by adolf hitler in his search for a pure aryan race. but it was perhaps not so long ago, a model that apparently caught on in the united states moved across more than 30 states. only now virginia has agreed to pay compensation to victims who decades ago, were forcibly sterilized by the authorities because they were deemed undesirable. well in the u.s. about 65,000 americans were sterilized across 33 states. in virginia 8,000 people were operated on between the 1920s and 1970s. and after a three-year fight, survivors of the process in virginia will now be paid $25,000. we speak now to desmond king
10:13 am
with the university of oxford. also one of the authors of "sterilized by the state: eugenics race and the population scare in 20th century north america." it seems quite incredible to people who don't know very much about this. was this something that was controversial when it was first started in the 1920s or not? >> extremely controversial. and not until the supreme court in 1927 said it was constitutional, many of the states which enacted legislation permitting eugenics sterilization had those laws declared unconstitutional. so it took them until 1927. from them it was always controversial, even though the supreme court said it was permissible. and it's important to remember that many states didn't do this about 27 states out of the 48 passed eugenics sterilization laws. many others fail ss tried to but
10:14 am
failed because there were always opponents. . >> and we're talking about coercive sterilization, involuntarily. >> what was the threshold decided by the state to carry out something like this. >> there are various measurements. actually, the idea for sterilization is for people who they thought could return to the community and be self-reliant from certain sort of institutions, but who were not considered to be capable of being parents. so the idea was to prevent reproduction, both because of the individual's incapacity to be competent parents and also was under eugenic ideas, they were not suitable -- they were not likely to produce suitable sort of children. >> what racially how does this break down as well? >> well until the middle of the 20th century, it was really it was only about white americans. because it was tied to ideas about america being a white
10:15 am
nation and building up a better stock of people breeding the right sort of whites. so african-americans were considered outside the realm of those who could be included in the nation. this changed in the 1960s when eugenics sterilization returned and it was attached in certain states such as north carolina, which has also apologized and given compensation to its victims. it returned in those states to be used against many black citizens who were receiving income support. >> outside the united states, has this been practiced elsewhere? >> yes. in canada the state of alberta or the presence of alberta engaged in a great deal of sterilizations. the only one in canada really. but in other countries, we find it in scandinavia. obviously in germany, where it was conducted on a much greater
10:16 am
scale. but northern countries such as france or poland or ireland, where catholic ideas stood strongly against eugenic practices. >> we're running out of time but how many people are we talking about now who might get this compensation? >> well not that many. it continues until the '70s and maybe into the '80s, so the people affected are very elderly. many only found out that they were sterilized when they tried to have their own families and discovered this happened to them involuntarily. so i think we're talking about a couple of thousand perhaps, but not more than that. >> professor, thank you very much indeed for joining us on the program. unesco has called for an emergency meeting of the security council after atlantic state followers were found destroys statues with sledgehammers. >> if they want to create deep divisions, they want to create an atmosphere of fear where we
10:17 am
cannot think of culture in the country. now we see that the security council resolution is basically the need to -- and that they recognize that we have been also telling them for quite a long time that this is not innocent. it's not just for profit. but it is also a security ksh for the international community and for the united nations.
10:18 am
now in the united states a pearl-studded dress worn to the oscars by lieu peeupita nyong'o has been stolen. it was a calvin klein dress, custom made, and features 6,000 pearls. now more on its disappearance. >> reporter: it was one of the most impressive dresses to sweep down this year's academy awards' red carpet. 6,000 pearls and a $150,000 price tragag. lupita nyong'o was presenting an award after winning an oscar last year for "12 years a slave." the calvin klein evening gown was custom made for her. but it was from her hotel room here at the london in west hollywood where the dress was taken. detectives are now on the case. >> we're working on the investigation and interviews. stars who was involved we don't
10:19 am
know yet. we're reviewing security footage as we speak. >> reporter: but as of yet, the mystery of the missing pearl evening dress remains unsolved. >> quite the mystery. now, it is pretty common knowledge that sahara winds carry dust to places far away but images from nasa shows exactly how far the sand travels. a slight tracks millions of tons of the sand from 2007 to 2013 and the results are staggering. every year an average of 182 million tons of dust that's equivalent to the contents of more than of 689,000 trucks fly past the western edge of the sahara and traveled as far as the amazon.
10:20 am
now, botswana's economy is booming, helped by the fact that the country is largest producer of diamonds. but will this economic success mean good news for the entertainment industry? a journey to find the best nightclub in africa. first stop in his hometown of kenya, as we travels to one of africa's most stable countries, botswana. >> reporter: i'm in botswana looking for the best nightclub in africa and i did not expect this. >> pleasantly surprised. one of the quietest cities i've been to in africa. i like the life of nairobi and
10:21 am
lagos where you would be stuck for hours. i have no idea where i'm going, but i have some guys will show me what's happening on the quest to find the best nightclub in africa. the nightlife in botswana has taken a hit in recent years since the government introduced a tax on alcohol and strict laws making clubs shut earlier. the country's biggest urban radio stations think it's a tax on sin. >> a sin tax when you buy alcohol. the government has decided to add that to cap the problems we are having with alcohol. you know where people are drinking too much and it's too cheap. >> it's impacted us a lot. it's made a huge impact in the clubbing industry. you see a lot of people have
10:22 am
turned away from going to restaurants or clubs, because the alcohol prices are so expensive. >> reporter: but the new laws were introduced to try to cut down drunk driving accidents and antisocial behavior. >> we want to have fun, but we want to have fun responsibly. and that's what ever parent wants. that's what every young people want. >> reporter: while drinking in a bar or restaurant is pretty expensive for most, people are trying different ways to have a good time when the sun goes down. welcome to car park parking. it is just that. open up the back and parking for free with your friends. >> you have your cars the
10:23 am
parking lot. >> and this outdoor parking is getting bigger and bigger. the next day, we were told about a festival on the edge of town. when we arrived, it was fairly quiet, but by nightfall the place was jumping. and because it's in the middle of nowhere, the law to make club close becomes a bit of a grey area. >> it's bigger here and festivals just like this. bbc news the best nightclub in africa. now, they have only been a day out of the sun, but two llamas in arizona have certainly had a fun time. a white llama and a smaller black one escaped. when, they had some fun trying
10:24 am
to catch them for almost an hour. >> reporter: a desperate chase after two quick-footed la mas. these animals had authorities in a bind when they were seen dashing in and out of traffic on a busy street in arizona. the drama began around lunchtime when the pair escaped from a neighborhood petting zoo and were spotted around roaming around the suburb of sun city. officials were quick to pursue the llamas but not fast enough it seemed. the agile animals managed to escape capture over and over. sometimes just at the last moment. television channels across america broadcast the chase live and members of the public soon joined in the fun. >> the social media platforms lit up with the llama drama. at the height of the mayhem there were more than 2,000 tweets being sent per minute. it is one of the top terms on twitter, with hashtag like llama
10:25 am
chase, team lama and llamas on the loose. even senator john mccain got involved tweeting once the llamas had been caught, he said, glad that llama drama 2015 has been peacefully resolved. the chase, which lasted almost an hour was wound up when the couple became separated. the black llama was caught first. but the white llama wasn't quite ready to follow suit. it took a couple of swings of a lasso to eventually capture the animal. the pair have now been safely returned to their owners. police say no criminal charges will be filed. >> safely back on the ranch. now, what do you do if there was so much snow you couldn't get into your house? well, you'd dig a tunnel. and you can just see on the top of this picture, the roof of the
10:26 am
house in there. peeking out from 4 meters of snow. and they found another way to get out as well. coming up in the next half hour on gmt, a subject that leads him to tears. we found out why in an exclusive b bbc interview. how do i get hotel deals nobody else gets?... i know a guy. price-line ne-go-ti-a-tor! i know this guy... konohito... and this guy... who knows a guy. hey guy. i know a guy in new

10:31 am
economy. we've got alex in the house to explain, what comes next for athens. racism in football reared its ugly head again last week after chelsea supporters hearing racist chants and preventing a black man from boarding the metro. fifa has deemed the level of racism in the russian game completely unacceptable. sarah rainsford reports. >> reporter: football fans in russia chant. these will clearly be enthusiastic hosts for the next world cup, but there is an ugh lie side to the game here. the new striker, hulk is the first non-white player that st.
10:32 am
petersburg has ever signed just two years ago. even then there were protests. but racism in russian football goes beyond one club. hulk has complained officially, more than once. >> this happened at the world cup. it will be a big problem. i think there should be respect, because we are all the same. this happens because of ignorance and a lack of culture. >> his components here in red and blue have just take three matches to empty stands. attitudes have long been a problem in the russian games, and ahead of the world cup,
10:33 am
that's a huge challenge. the 2018 cup is a matter of prestige for moscow, which laid down a glitzy ad for its logo. but it's already faced calls for a boycott over russian's intervention in ukraine. now there are questions over conditions here for black players and fans. fifa told us its concerned. senior russian officials tend to play the problem down. >> translator: it's not a russian problem. it happens in stadiums all over the world, because sadly that's the way the world is. but in russian, it's not a very serious issue. yeah, sometimes fans shout racist things, but we take measures to fight it like all the rest. >> reporter: after the match, fans see it as a racial issue as well as a sporting one. football fans are not good little boys, they're not from the streets and they have
10:34 am
radical views. it will take time, he says, to change that. there will be no tolerance for racism at the world cup. sarah rainsford, bbc news moscow. now, with oil price reaching record lows which is something we've been looking at this week here on bbc world news is there a space for new energy anymore? scientists in boston have come up with some novel adaptations to existing oil technology which could eventually revolutionize the market. with me, dan simmons from clerk. so you've been looking into this. so the hunt for increasingly sophisticated renewables is continuing, in other words? zbll >> we just have to get a little bit more efficient, that's the key things when it comes to
10:35 am
renewables. we're using solar power and air power, and the more efficient that can be. we've got wind turbines here. this is the traditional way we might harvest wind energy. but the turbine itself is only maybe 20, 30 meters above the ground. and about 500 or 600 meters above the ground, you typically get wind speeds that are twice the amount you would get at this level. and if you can get up there, you can harvest that. >> how difficult is it to actually -- because you need blades to generate this the energy. how could you possibly do that at that height? that is a company we've been speaking to boston. click has been looking at new ideas. one of them it's sort of like a blimp. it's inflated with helium and an incredibly lightweight turbine is put in the middle of it and it gets sent up into the air and it harvest that energy. and the ceo told me why it's so
10:36 am
important to get up to about 500 or 600 meters. >> the power available in the wind doesn't scale, but the wind increases very quickly as the wind speed increases. that scale is a cubic factor of the wind. so when you double the wind speeds, you get eight times or two to the power of three of more energy or more power available. >> so that was with wind. what about sunlight? >> well sunlight we can use from solar panels and we have been using solar panels. there are one or two companies starting to use parabolic solar panels. the actual chemical makeup of those solar panels is the expensive thing. we have a company again in boston that is looking at a newer system that would track the sun using gps, and the reflection of that the sun would go into the parabolic, back up again, back down again, and heat your hot water. one or two of these could do a home. that's everyone's thought.
10:37 am
you don't feed to cover your roof in a solar panel. >> does that mean it's not actually turning it into electricity, it's directly heating? >> right so the cost of these is infinitely less than covering your home with solar panels. the downside is you don't get electricity, you get heat out of the sun. and because of that you can't use it for example, to switch on the lights or to keep your refrigerator going. it really is only on for hot water. but it's something they're hoping tohope ing to introduce at the start of next year. >> all right, thank you very much. well let's just remind you that you can watch more on that on bbc's technology show this weekend here on bbc world news. that's at the following times and will be shown exclusively to north america and south asia and other times, please look at the bbc website, bb.com/click for more information.
10:38 am
right, to aaron, i think. >> my favorite subjects hey, dan. love a bit of click. never have enough of that stuff. hello there. let's talk about germany's pay-making giant. airbus has reported some soaring four-year profits. that is despite setting aside $680 million on this baby right here, its a400 military aircraft. the big drive came from delivering a total 629 commercial aircraft last year three more than in 2013. but still well below their competitor. boger boeing's total, they delivered 723 yets. plans to slow down production of its a330 but quickly scale up the manufacturing on its newest bird, the a330 which they began delivering just last year. the big boss at airbus tom,
10:39 am
good to see you. can you briefly explain to our viewers around the world who don't perhaps know how the industry works, you play makers shout out from the rooftop when you make all those big orders when you take those orders from the airlines. but what's more important is when you deliver those planes, because that's when you get paid, right? >> that's absolutely right. but a big backlog is important, because before we deliver an aircraft we get pre-delivery payments. so big backlog means good cash flow and you can see that also in the numbers we presented for 2014. >> good numbers and congratulations on the numbers. when it comes to the competition with those orders, for example, yourn you know, airbus and boeing and we have this yearly competition. the orders typically in the past, they've been pretty much on time with each other. but when it comes to delivery, how does boeing manage to make
10:40 am
and delivery nearly 100 more jets than you do. some have suggested that boeing has a better managed supply chain? >> that is not true. for most of the ten years, we have been ahead of boeing in terms of number of deliveries. what are differentiators now why boeing is ahead of us is clearly the 787 is upping and running and they're producing it at 100 plus aircraft a year, while as our 350 is two years behind that and we're just ramping up production here but in a couple of years, you'll see us competing in terms of deliveryies again, neck to neck. >> we'll be watching that closely. it is a good-looking bird. what's not proving successful last year your orders for the a 380 were quite disappointing, weren't they? they were really half, i think of what airbus was expecting.
10:41 am
i'm just wondering is it a white elephant? could airbus scrap the 380 eventually? >> no, i don't think so. by the way we got 20 new orders for the 380 next year. it wasn't that bad. we are currently producing the 380 around 30 a year. the aircraft is now really up and running in the sense, its operational reliability is very high. airlines love it customers love it. certainly, we like to look at additional areas, that will be a strong focus in 2013 for sure. we're constantly improving the aircraft, but also very important, we are through this phase of the teething problems or as we call it sometimes in the industry and we're spending, year we year, a lot of money to improve in the aircraft. by the way, same thing on our ore products. so i have a pretty positive outlook and perspective for our big bird. >> let me just end with the
10:42 am
a400m, your military aircraft, there's been some delays on that. and you know usually there's new technology we get delays. it's cost you a lot of money. what are some of the problems there? >> this is unfortunate, we're not proud of it but it's not a catastrophe for the company, because we know the a 400m is a good aircraft. every pilot who has flown on it is amazed by the abilities. but the problem is, we are not ramping up production as fast as we intended to be. that leads to some disappointment with our customers. the military functionality is a very complex aerktircraft. it's a more complex aircraft than an a380. the military function is we have to cross step by step causes some delays. and we have to work hard to catch up and find agreement with our customers on the new delivery schedule. these discussions are well under way and for the future i
10:43 am
definitely expect improvement on that important. >> let me end on this. i'll let you sing the 350 praises. it is a magnificent aircraft. it's a two-part question. did you learn, for the 350, did the learn from some of the mistakes and problems that the boeing 787 had? and how is it looking at the moment? the 350. the orders. are you going to keep going 787? >> indeed. we learned a lot. by the way first and foremost from our own problems with 380 aircraft years ago. we learned a lot from the 787. but even so not everything is running perfect on that program. it's much improved from the previous programs. just to give you one indicator. we said more than two years ago we had over 30 actor in september 2014 and we did. we said more than two years ago, the first aircraft before the end of 2014 and we did. and we're now ramping up slowly
10:44 am
approximate. i think the big challenge is still with us on this program, because deliverying one or two or maybe 15 this year to over 100 which is our target for 2018. that's quite a stretch, we're working hard on it but all the teams are really optimistic because so far it's going well. >> what's the order number so far on the 350? >> the order number on the 350 is more than 770, i think. >> okay. >> so that gives us -- you know what's really important, that segment, we've seen more than 7,000 aircraft in market demand for the next 20 years. we'll not all be airbus aircraft, but it is a very strong market. >> it is indeed. tom, always a pleasure. tom ender, the big boss chief executive of airbus. let's move on and talk about this. if you're standing up to or creating internet sites in
10:45 am
china, you'll be made to use your real name. internet accounts that impersonate people or organizations, they'll be banned from this sunday. china has repeatedly made attempts to get internet users to register for e-mail accounts using their real name with some mixed success. but many at the london of school economics i talked to, i asked them how this mammoth task could be enforced? >> i don't think this measure will be hugely effective across the word. the party increasingly thinks of the internet as the ideological background that the party needs to maintain control over. but if we think about how fragmented chinese internet is tease days and how much business interests are involved i don't see internet companies having huge incentive to deliberately enforce measures like this. because it's going to be costly for sure. it's also going to drive away the users. >> let's move on because as
10:46 am
we've been hearing, the german parliament has approved plan to extend its international bailout for greece. the deal reached last week between greece and its partners in the eurozone was passed by a large majority in the german parliament. in fact the german finance minister wolfgang schauble has acknowledged that members of the german parliament faced a very difficult decision but he warned them that not approving the deal would do great harm. i'm wondering, the germans have been quite skeptical up until this point. so what do they do now? >> the numbers in the german parliament were overwhelming but the enthusiasm certainly was not. there are more concerns. and mr. schauble himself, the finance minister has his own doubts about -- he's particularly concerned about whether greece is going to deliver on the economic policy
10:47 am
premises that it is going to be negotiating over the course of the next few months. >> four months of negotiations and with a view to producing a new program with more financial support, or at least the dispersement of the financial support has already been agreed. but haven't been handed over to date, and economic policy commitments, which the germans certainly want to be pretty much in line with what the previous government agreed to do. >> just quickly, they could have a battle. the first anti-government protest. because people already, their going against their election pledges. >> the kinds of things they wanted to do they talk about in the campaign are things that will never be agreed by the likes of germany. so i suppose, inevitably, we are going to see a degree of conflict the new governors. now it's shifting a bit towards
