hello. i'm david eades with bbc world news. our top stories. kenya mourns the death of 147 people killed in an attack on a university. survivors tell us how they escaped the gunmen. >> and i saw the attackers were coming after us and firing so i told the women to keep running, keep down. at last we managed to jump over the fence. celebrations in tehran at the prospect of an easing of international sanctions, as a deal struck on curtailing iran's nuclear program. six people who hid in a cold room during the paris attack on

a jewish supermarket sue french media. also the war to save the rhino. a special report from south america on the battle to protect the animals from poachers. well thanks for joining us. the kenyan government has confirmed, 147 people were killed by al shabaab militanted in their deadliest attacks to date. the four gunmen attacked the university in garissa in northeastern kenya, around about 5:00 a.m. local time. they entered the university grounds, killing two guards at the gates. they moved on into the campus separating muslims from christian students shooting dead the christians on the spot. around 500 students on that campus did manage to escape. they got away through the fence, marked out here.

now, some 13 hours after the attack began, the gunmen were surrounded by security forces in the female dormitories and there their suicide vests were detonated. well, these pictures give you some idea of the confusion in the aftermath of the siege. just have a look at some of these pictures. we've got pictures of injured, just lying out there, waiting for someone to come and take them to some place of security get some medical attention. now the scene is this. the university certainly quieter there, but ambulances military vehicles coming and going amid some very tight security. our correspondent, anne soy, is in garissa and sent us this report. >> reporter: a day after the massacre here at the garissa university college by the al shabaab militant groups relatives of students who were killed have been coming to view and identify the bodies. 147 people killed. so far, the deadly attack by that militant group on kenyan

soil. it has come as a sock to many that the group could launch such an attack just three kilometers from a military base. i have seen some of the students coming here for their luggage and heading home. the government says it has mobilized buss to transport them back. and for many this is going to be a memorable event, but i'm not sure that they will want to come back to this institution. it's going to be a blow for this university, for garissa, and for this region that has been left underdeveloped for generations by the government. this was the initial sign of development in this region but it's going to be difficult going forward. already, the union of university staff has said it's going to withdraw its workers unless the government assures their security. there was a attack in mandera towards the end of last year teachers refused to go back to that area to teach. and this continued insecurity in

the northeastern part of the country continues to be a challenge in times of growing the national and the local economies. and this incident came during a week when the british and australian government had issued an alert of a possible terror attack and the fact that the president, a day before this incident happened, dismissed those alerts has come as a shock to many. and many are asking questions to the government. why didn't they do enough to ensure the security of 147 innocent lives? >> anne soy at the university. now, most of those killed as we said, were christian students. they were picked out by the al shabaab militants. some however, managed to escape the massacre. we've got eyewitness accounts of a lucky few. >> translator: i heard a loud explosion at the gate so i went outside of laboratory 6 to check

what was happening. christian union members were praying at the lecture hall. i saw people who were dressed like police officers so i told my colleagues these are police officers let's go to study. all of a sudden i saw them throw explosives as they entered lecture hall 1, where the christian union members were praying. so i ran away in shock. >> translator: i was still asleep around 5:00 a.m. when i heard the sound of gunfire, so i woke up quickly and ran. i didn't even have time to put on my clothes, pick up my phone or anything. i ran to the fence and now it's just stress. >> translator: i saw the attackers. they were fully covered in clothes, leaving just a slit for their eyes. when i saw that i ran for my life. i got my fellow students together, we opened a couple of windows and put chairs down to help us jump out.

i had to help some women who couldn't jump out as quickly as others before i also jumped out and i hurt my leg. when i reached the fence, well the fence was very high at first i couldn't get over it. three women also came to the fence and i saw the attackers were coming after us and firing and i told the women to keep running, keep down and at last we managed to jump over the fence. fence. >> so most of the students were collected all together and they took them to the lady's site and then they shoot through the windows, they shoot us. i managed to hear from them that we came to kill and we finally killed. that's what they said. >> and that is what they did, isn't it? mary harper is africa editor for the bbc world service. she said security at the university was not boosted, despite concerns by students

that it could well be targeted. >> what's so shocking is that there were actually notices went up according to the students on april the 1st the day before the attack that people should be vigilant of a possible attack by militants. one student said that they thought it was a joke because it was april fools' day. the very next day, the university was attacked. and the students say that there were only two security guards there. garissa is the town that has been attacked -- more people have died from al shabaab attacks in garissa than anywhere else. if you add it all up over the years. why there were only two security guards at a place where the government said was a place at risk of being targeted was unfathomable. >> there are also reports from other sources that al shabaab peaked on a slightly downward curve. >> al shabaab peaked in a way in somalia which is about 150 kilometers from the town of garissa. but they have in recent years,

increased their activity in kenya. there was the westgate shopping mall attack that everyone remembers, but i follow somalia and kenya very closely, and almost every week, there are attacks by al shabaab in that border region between kenya and somalia and also in the coast, sometimes in nairobi. so al shabaab in a way has become a regional movement and it is extremely active in kenya. >> well al shabaab certainly keen to link it to events in somalia itself. is that going to have any impact at all on kenya's positioning with regard to somalia? >> it's interesting, following this attack which is in terms of numbers, the biggest al shabaab attack in kenya, there's been a lot of comments on social media, either saying we should boost the kenyan military presence in somalia to try to crush al shabaab altogether or you get many kenyans saying we should get out of somalia, because this is why we are now almost their principle target. >> and that's what makes it look

like al sma babb are achieving something when they do this. >> exactly. al shabaab, they say that the reason why they attack kenya is because kenya has declared war on them. and they also get more support from kenyan muslims, who have been increasingly targeted by the security forces who blame them who associate them with al shabaab, even if they're just normal, everyday muslims who have nothing to do with al shabaab at all. >> mary harper there. another big story for you here because there is a deal concluded on iran's nuclear program and on an easing of the sanctions, which have been targeting tehran for so long. both sides say they're happy. well let's see if that is the case. the framework deal on that program is being laid out. president obama said the full details is going to make the world a safer place and cut off every passway iran could take to deliver a nuclear weapon. you just saw the iranian foreign minister there, who called it a

win-win outcome. john kerry as well taking part in those discussions. what have they agreed? well, this framework has come after 12 years of negotiations in all. not yet a final agreement, though. iran and the six world powers involved now have to finalize their deal and do that in june. the outline includes some of these following conditions iran will reduce its installed centrifuges, for example, the ones used to enrich uranium by two-thirds and reduce its stockpile of low enriched uranium. all of iran's nuclear facilities will be subject to regular international atomic energy agency inspections, and iran will re-design its heavy water reactors in iraq, so that it can't produce weapons-grade plutonium. if all of these agreements are met, u.s. and eu sanctions related to iran's nuclear program will be lifted. that will be done in phases. but they could be brought back again, snapped back if iran doesn't meet its obligations. here's a little of what the

respective sides had to say about the deal. >> today, the united states together with our allies and partners, has reached an historic understanding with iran which if fully implemented, will prevent it from obtaining a nuclear weapon. as president and commander in chief, i have no greater responsibility than the security of the american people. and i am convinced that if this framework leads to a final comprehensive deal it will make our country, our allies and our world safer. >> but the effect of this would be, when we implement our measures, there won't be no sanctions against the islamic republican of iran. and that i think, would be a major step forward. we have stopped a cycle that was not in the interest of anybody. not in the interest of nonproliferation, and not in the interest of anybody to one that will in fact be a gain for all

parties in turn. >> iran's foreign minister there. well, while the u.s. and iran have been hailing the framework of the historic step the response from israel has been rather different. one of anger, really. saying the deal is going to do nothing to stop iran building nuclear weapons. >> this framework is a step in a very, very dangerous direction. it leaves iran with an expansive nuclear infrastructure not closing down not even one iranian nuclear installation. it leaves iran with thousands of sentrycentrifuges to continue enrichment and allows iran to conduct research and development to build new and better centrifuges. the single goal behind the iranian nuclear program is to build nuclear weapons. and unfortunately, this framework lends legitimacy international legitimacy to this effort.

>> that's the israeli government spokesman. with me now is mark fitzpatrick, who used to work on nonfro nonproliferation at the u.s. state department and is now at the international institute for strategic studies. mark, thanks for joining us. >> sure. >> let me ask you, first of all, there has been a mixed response perhaps inevitably in the united states as well domestically. do you think this deal is going to convince enough politicians in congress if you like to say, let's run the business? >> that's the big concern. will the u.s. congress decide to adopt measures that would then force iran to stop diplomacy as a tit for tat. already, there are several democratic senators who have signed on to legislation that would have that effect. but i think this deal has enough meat in it enough provisions that obama will be able to hold enough of his democratic party

senators in line, so as to not torpedo the deal. >> i think we're going to hear from benjamin netanyahu soon giving his more formalized response to this. we know the effect he can have in congress we saw it a matter of a few weeks ago. so pushing it through will be a battle and a half. >> it will certainly be a battle and israel's opposition cannot be ignored. but they've already made clear almost any foreseeable deal is real and would oppose. so in a way, they're shouting out in the wind. and what more can they say? they've already said they would oppose a deal. obama got the very best possible deal better than i thought he was going to be able to get, and israel is going to have to live with it. >> how important are the next three months going to be in laying out, if you like sort of the monitoring processes, the real nitty-gritty about how you make sure that this framework, this proposal does stick? >> absolutely crucial. there is no deal today. there's only the framework for a deal, the parameters.

many many things have to be nailed down. but i was surprised in reading the u.s. state department fact sheet, four pages of details that already have been generally agreed to. iran wouldn't agree to put them in the joint statement, because their view is there can only be one deal and that will be on june 30th. let's hope that nobody torpedos this deal before the 30th of june. >> mark, we heard there, saying that i have still got loads of centrifuges, still have the capacity to build nuclear weapons if they want to. is that right? >> well it certainly is right. but i think the question that has to be realized is that without a deal iran would have that and even more. this deal cuts iran's centrifuges by two-thirds okay? they remain 6,000. that could be dangerous, but they wouldn't be able to produce nuclear weapons within one year. i think israel's real concern, and a legitimate concern, is what happens after ten years? iran would be able to expand its

program quite a lot. well that's a problem, but the verification monitoring provisions will remain in place, the most intrusive monitoring that the international atomic energy agency applies anywhere in the world. >> and one hurdle at a time i guess. >> i guess so. >> thank you very much, indeed. some important breaking news here, with regard to the germanwings flight which, of course crashed in the alps. 150 people all killed. we've just heard that the data from the second black box of that plane now shows the co-pilot did act deliberately according to investigators. the first box holds the cockpit voice recordings. we know about that of course and that really has damned andreas lubitz. well, the second box records the technical flight data. it took longer to recover from the mountainside in the french alps but it is now out, it's

been monitored and in a statement, the french bea crash investigation office says a first reading does show the pilot in the cockpit used the automatic pilot to descend the plane towards an altitude of 30 meters and then several times, if the course of that descent, he changed the automatic pilot settings to increase the aircraft speed. and this they say, backs up the recordings from that first black box that point to the co-pilot deliberately crashing the plane. that is breaking news here on bbc world news. well do stay with us. we have a lot more still to bring you, including live tv coverage of the "charlie hebdo" attacks. did it put hostages lives in danger? french forecasters are facing a lawsuit. we'll have the latest. i have a wandering eye. i mean, come on. national gives me the control to choose any car in the aisle i want. i could choose you... or i could choose her if i like her more.

the latest headlines. kenya's president has called for vigilance, following an attack on a university in the east of the country, in which more than 140 people were killed. iran's foreign minister has returned to a hero's welcome in tehran, following the negotiation of a deal on the country's nuclear program. right. time to have a word with alice. jobs, jobs jobs. >> a really important day for the u.s. david, a really important sort of bellwether of how the world's largest economy is faring. official employment numbers for march. they are due out in a few hours and expected to show that the hiring spree across america is continuing. so what are the numbers that we're looking at? well employers probably created around 245,000 new jobs in march. that's according to an poll by the reuters news agency. that would be a bit few, as we saw in february but enough to keep the jobless rate at that all-important 5.5% mark.

the lowest it's been in almost seven years. just to give you some context, that would also be the 13th month in a row, where the jobs number has been over 200,000. and that's the best period of job creation we've seen for two decades. if employers keep hiring at this rate, they could beat the post-war record set in the early 1980s. but how long will the winning streak last? we've got more on this coming up in world business report. >> now on the other side of the world, there's a grueling ultramarathon taking place in the sahara desert that's getting underway today. 1,500 people are going to attempt to complete the grueling marathon des sables. each person will run the equivalent of a marathon a day for six days in a race which has been described as the toughest the foot race on earth. wehle be looking at how the rise in popularity of these sort of

actions is creating big opportunities for sponsorships. >> the things that they do these days. alex thank you very much. french police have opened a preliminary investigation over allegations that broadcast media may have endangered the lives of hostages that were being held at a jewish supermarket during the paris attack in january. six of the survivors have filed a civil suit targeting rolling news outlet. hugh schofield explains why the hostages are taking the action. >> reporter: there are several news agencies that are named in this suit. the main is bsm, which is a very very popular around-to-clock news tv outfit. and they were broadcasting live throughout the drama of those two days. the allegation against bsm and others is that what they were broadcasting in a way helped the jihadists, in particular amedy

coulibaly, or could have helped them or could have given them clues and endangered the lives of those who he was holding. in particular against bfm-tv, there is this idea that they speculated on the cold room of hostages hiding and that was the case. that there were hostages hiding down there that amedy coulibaly did not know about. and the kram is that amedy coulibaly could have heard this speculation on-air and gone down to check, and therefore essentially endangered the lives of those hostages. >> hugh schofield there. international wildlife crime is worth something like $19 billion a year. and right now the most sought-after commodity, rhino horns. last year a record number of rhino were killed in south africa by poachers. here's our report from south africa.

>> reporter: in the african bush a rhino is about to be shot. but this isn't a poacher. he's a vet, trying to save the animal's life. this rhino has been attacked for her horns, which can sell for a quarter of a million dollars on the black market in asia where it's falsely believed to have healing properties. >> it's incredible, being this close to a rhino, but what's really amazing is that she's still alive. poachers took off her horn and part of her face with a chainsaw. >> these vets are carrying out pioneering facial reconstruction surgery, using dental materials to heal the wound and prevent infection. last year, record number of rhinos were slaughtered for their horns. >> the problem is that the value of this stuff is just unbelievable. it's the most expensive, most valuable commodity on earth. you know much more than gold or platinum or diamonds. >> but south african rangers are

fighting back. sometimes with deadly force. 42 poachers were killed last year. >> people coming to our country illegally. they're armed. they plunder our resources. if you try to erase them they try to kill you. that's tantamount to war. >> reporter: most of the poachers come from across the border in mozambique where more than half the population live on less than $1 a day. usabia has poached five rhino horns, earning him $10,000. >> you have to shoot the animal and kill it. once you're sure it's dead you cut the horn off and move on. >> reporter: he's now stopped hunting rhino, after his brother was shot dead by south african forces while poaching. >> translator: no it's not the right job. but there aren't any proper jobs here. if it were not for rhino poaching, we would just be dying of hunger here.

>> reporter: poaching has now been outlawed in mozambique but the demand for the horns means the rhino is still worth more dead than alive. and the threat to these animals is now greater than ever. >> and that's bbc world news. thanks for watching. we're born. after all, healthier doesn't happen all by itself. it needs to be earned... every day... using wellness to keep away illness... and believing that a single life can be made better by millions of others. healthier takes somebody who can power modern health care... by connecting every single part of it. for as the world keeps on searching for healthier... we're here to make healthier happen. optum. healthier is here. ♪ ♪

welcome to bbc world news. i'm david eades. our top stories, kenya mourns the death of 147 people killed. an attack on a university. survivors tell us how they escaped the gunmen. >> translator: and i saw the attackers were coming after us and firing so i told the women to keep running, keep down. at last we managed to jump over the fence. celebrations in tehran at the prospect of an easing of international sanctions as a deal is struck on curtailing iran's nuclear program. it's one of the greatest

forces in chinese history. charged with corruption and abuse of power. hello. thanks for joining us. the kenyan government has confirmed 147 people were killed by al shabaab militants in their deadliest attack to date. the four gunmen attacked the university in garissa in northeastern province of kenya around about 5:00 a.m. local time. they entered the university grounds, killing two guards at the gates. they then moved into the campus. they separated muslims from christian students, shooting dead the christians on the spot. around 500 students on that campus did manage to get away. they escaped through the fence, and some 13 hours after the attack began, the gunmen themselves were then surrounded by security forces down here in

the female dormitories. and that was where their suicide vests were then detonated. we've got pictures here to show you the confusion in the aftermath of the siege. confusion for everyone. students as well as those who were wounded. they just left on the side of the road waiting for help. the scene at the university now is somewhat different. we've got ambulances and military vehicles coming in and out amid some tight security. our correspondent, anne soy, is in garissa. well, we're not going to hear from anne at the moment. what we can do however, is hear from some of the eyewitnesss -- i say eyewitnesss, they're actually students who managed to get away. they fled the scene and they told us what it was like in there. >> translator: i heard a loud explosion at the gate, so i went outside of laboratory 6 to check what was happening.

christian union members were praying at the lecture hall. i saw people who were dressed like police officers, so i told my colleagues, these are police officers, let's go to study. all of a sudden, i saw them throw explosives, as they entered lecture hall 1, where the christian union members were praying. so i ran away in shock. >> translator: i was still asleep around 5:00 a.m. when i heard the sound of gunfire, so i woke up quickly and ran. i didn't even have time to put on my clothes, pick up my phone or anything. i ran to the fence and now it's just stress. >> translator: i saw the attackers. they were fully covered in clothes, leaving just a slit for their eyes. when i saw that, i ran for my life. i got my fellow students together, we opened a couple of windows and put chairs down to help us jump out. i had to help some women who couldn't jump out as quickly as others before i also jumped out

and i hurt my leg. when i reached the fence, well, the fence was very high, at first i couldn't get over it. three women also came to the fence and i saw the attackers were coming after us and firing and i told the women to keep running, keep down, and at last we managed to jump over the fence. >> so most of the students were collected all together and they took them to the lady's site and then they shoot through the windows, they shoot us. i managed to hear from them, that we came to kill and we finally killed. that's what they said. >> and that is very much what they did, isn't it? let's move on. there's been a deal on iran's nuclear program, a deal that seems to satisfy both sides at

this stage, at least. the framework, really proposal on iran's nuclear program, which president obama said -- we haven't got the full details yet, but he said it would make the world a safer place. this is the iranian foreign minister. he seems happy at the terms so far. he said it was a win-win outcome. john kerry, of course pleased as well as are all the foreign ministers involved. what have they agreed? well, this framework of a deal comes after 12 years of negotiations. it's not a final agreement. iran and the six world powers involved now have to finalize the deal in june. but the outline includes some of the following conditions. iran will reduce its installed centrifuges, the ones that are used to enrich uranium, by two-thirds and reduce its stockpile of low enriched uranium. all of iran's facilities will be subject to regular international atomic agency inspections and iran will redesign its heavy water reactor in iraq so that it

can't produce weapons-grade plutonium. if all of these agreements are made, then eu and u.s. sanctions related to that program will be lifted in phases. they can be brought back again, though snapped back in if iran doesn't meet its obligations. here's a little of what the respective parties had to say about the deal. >> today the united states together with our allies and partners, has reached historic understanding with iran which if fully implemented, will prevent it from obtaining a nuclear weapon. as president and commander in chief, i have no greater responsibility than the security of the american people. and i am convinced that if this framework leads to a final comprehensive deal it will make our country, our allies and our world, safer. >> but the effect of this would be, when we implement our measures, there won't be no sanctions against the islamic

republic of iran. and that i think, would be a major step forward. we have stopped a cycle that was not in the interest of anybody. not in the interest of nonproliferation, and not in the interest of anybody, to one that will, in fact be a gain for all parties concerned. >> foreign minister zarif there. the u.s. and iran are hailing the agreed framework. they say it's an historic step but the response from israel is very different, indeed. anger, really, saying the deal will do nothing to stop iran building nuclear weapons. >> this framework is a step in a very, very dangerous direction. it leaves iran with an expansive nuclear infrastructure not closing down not even one

uranium nuclear installation. it allows iran to conduct research and development to build new and better centrifuges. the single goal behind the iranian nuclear program is to build nuclear weapons. and unfortunately, this framework lends legitimacy international legitimacy, to this effort. >> well that's the israeli government spokesman, mark ragaf. we're awaiting a news conference from benjamin netanyahu as well. we'll bring that to you as soon as it starts here on bbc world news. we have more details from the germanwings flight. because data from the second black box from the flight that crashed in the alps confirms the co-pilot did act deliberately in bringing down that flight. these are the pictures which show the recovered black box. it may look messy, but they've got the data out of it. the first box had the cockpit voice ordinaryings. as for this one, this has all

the technical flight data. it was only recovered on thursday yt alps themselves. and in a statement, the french bea crash investigation office said a first reading of the data shows the pilots in the cockpit used the automatic pilot to bring the plane down towards an altitude of 30 meters. then several times during the descent, the pilot changed the automatic pilot settings to increase the aircraft speed. and they say this shows that andreas lubitz, who was at the controls, used the plane's automatic pilot system to bring the plane down. one of china's most powerful men has been charged with bribery, abuse of power, and leaking state secrets. zhou yongkang was one of the nine members of the pollitt borough. >> zhaoou yongkang has been under

investigation for months, but the formal filings of the indictment against him is an extraordinary moment. it shows the that the communist party is readying itself for its most significant trial, some would say show trial, in decades. the party would almost certainly use mr. zhou to argue that its anti-corruption campaign is both real and working, rooting out wrongdoing wherever it is found. but given that it is no secret of course, that many officials, including very senior oncees, have used their positions to enrich both their lives and families why him? >> i don't see the political conflict around this. but i don't think i can explain why. >> but even if there is a political element, you still think it's a good thing that people like him are being put on trial? >> i mean he definitely did something bad. >> interception. >> and yet some people worry that maybe there is a sort of political edge.

maybe there is a kind of political score settling. maybe they are selecting targets for other reasons. >> no. >> do you think it's possible. >> i can't answer you. i just donate't know. >> reporter: without independent courts and independent sources of free media, the chinese people have no way of judging how genuine the anti-corruption campaign really is. there's no date yet for the trial, but when it begins, it may well tell us something about the rot of high-level corruption in china. but it may also give us clues about the deep factional infighting forced to lurk below the facade of single-minded unity that the communist party likes to present to the outside world. >> john sudworth there. coming up in a moment one of africa's longest serving presidents tell the bbc he wants to change the law. that would enable him for yes, another term in office. we'll have more.

you're watching bbc world news. i'm david eades. the latest headlines. kenya's president has called for vigilance following the attack on a university east of the country. more than 140 people were killed. iran's foreign minister has returned to a hero's welcome in tehran, following the negotiation of a deal on the country's nuclear program. in the oil-rich republic of congo, one of africa's longest serving presidents has told the bbc he's in favor of changing his country's constitution. now, the current law doesn't allow him to run for another term in the presidential election next year. in congo, some of the youth say they will not let him go through with this proposed change. well the bbc met him in the

capital. >> reporter: a jung nation ruled by one of africa's oldest leaders. congo's president has been in power for 31 years, and these rappers are calling on him to not run for another term in 2016. the law bars him from being a candidate next year but the president told the bbc he is in favor of changing the constitution. >> translator: i think the current constitution can be improved, which is why we need to let the debate happen among all the population and naturally, because it is the constitution. i believe after the debate the entire population needs to pronounce itself on the constitution by referendum. >> if the constitution is changed, does that mean that you will then be able to run for another mandate next year? >> people want to link the

constitutional debate to the person of the president, but, no, this is about the institutions of the country. >> reporter: opposition leaders, meanwhile, say if the president goes ahead with the constitution change and runs for re-election next year, it could destabilize the country. >> translator: when he was accounted for the presidency he never mentioned changing the institution or the country's institutions. and now, suddenly out of personal interest he wants to plunge the country into a chaotic situation. >> reporter: despite being africa's fourth largest oil producer, more than half of the republic of congo's population lives with less than $1 a day. the president and his family have been accused of using oil revenue to acquire private properties in europe. while many people here say they are fed up with the current system and want regime change it's not clear whether they would be willing to publicly stand up to protests to demand for their president not to run

for another term next year. the members of the group say they're preparing to publicly protest. but that unlike them most young people are afraid to speak out. >> translator: there is a fear instilled in the population. people live in a culture of fear. people are afraid of repression. that if they speak up they will be punished. this is also why we want to create this movement in order to be a force of resistance. >> reporter: the climate of fear they describe is also the fruit of years of civil war. the conflict has been over for 20 years, but it's still fresh on many people's minds. and some worry if the president were to leave, the country could sink back into violence. well how about nigeria where a post-election phone call between the president, goodluck jonathan, and the president-elect now, mohammad

buahri may have saved the country, possibly bloodshed. in a rather unexpected move the incumbent, jonathan, decided to phone his opponent simply to congratulate on his victory. this was even before the final results had been officially declared. a recording of that conversation has now been released and this is what a gracious defeat can sound like. >> not a bad start.

we'll see how things pan out there in nigeria. now, the french port of kali kalis is pretty well documented. many of the migrants living there had dreams of a life in britain -- excuse me only to find themselves stuck in makeshift camps. now in the spirit of cross-channel, a group of english cricketers decided they would organize a match at the main camp and it was played on the same weekend as the cricket world cup final between australia and new zealand. let's have a word with christopher douglas from the weekender's cricket club who helped to organize the match itself. chris, an auspicious day on which to do it. but hardly auspicious surroundings. tell us what it was like out there. >> it was a pretty grim day and conditions are pretty basic and miserable for them. but there are some cricket-mad afghans out there. it's quite a sprawling sort of camp. and the different areas are

known as jungles. and the neighbors of the afghans in the afghan jungle are eric trains. and they're sports mad too. but the sport they're mad about is dominos. so some of the volunteers are helping to support the migrants out there, got in touch with us and asked, is it possible to send a side out. we said, yes. we're a wandering side and we'd go anywhere. >> you had to to get to this. just looking at the picture, it is pretty bleak stuff. but bizarrely, given their situation and yours, you were the ones who didn't have a full team. >> that's right. when we settled, there were five of us. by the time we got off the ferry, we were up to nine. and when we got to the ground the opposition lent us two players. so that was fine. >> and did they do you well? >> they did, actually.

they lent us their two best players. the difficulties though, really, was finding the kit, the wherewithal for the game so we played on a football ground. so we sent out an appeal in early march to all these clubs we play against, and just asked if they had any spare kit. and the response was incredibly generous and very quick as quell. >> so you've been able to leave that quitkit? >> yes, yes, that was really the purpose of it. and managed to find some coconut matting, which two strips of coconut matting, for a bankrupt event company. so we laid those on the football pitch. and they haven't had any rain for quite a while, so it was pretty hard. so the pitch was very fast probably faster than we ever play on. and they had some very fast bowlers. >> and is the matting still out there as well? >> yes, we left that. >> but there's virtually nothing for them to do there, is there? this is a pretty dreadful place

to be. conditions are poor. it provides them with something still, does it? >> yes, i think they're pretty much occupied simply subsisting. and in fact they're being moved at the moment so they're very busy. but, yes, we just wanted to give them a few hours of relief of the misery and the boredom. and from your perspective, you can't help be be aware of it if you're living in britain, we get plenty of reports from there. was it as you expected? was it bleaker than you expected? and what about the mood of those that are out there? >> the extraordinary thing was, once we started playing, it seemed again like any other, really. we don't normally play in front of a crowd or a truckload of heavily armed french riot police, but once again, we concentrate on that. and it was really quite effecting the enthusiasm with which they you know, took part in the game.

it was really quite humbling. >> does anything more come of it? is that a one-off for you, or do you feel like you've built a bit of an umbilical coder with people, in very dire straits. >> well we were just responding to some cricketers were in miserable circumstances and we've left some them kits. i don't know how much cricket they'll be able to play because as i said, they were being used. it was a football ground on a chemical factory, that makes titanium dioxide, and you get into it the hole in the wire fence. it's quite an unusual venue for us really. >> well memorable for you, clearly, memorable for them, as well, i suspect. thank you very much, indeed. >> thank you. now, for years, a small community in rio has been fighting against eviction to make way for the 2016 olympic park. and most of the residents of the village have gradually accepted government offers and left the

community. some of them are still there, though. >> reporter: clearing the way for the future olympic park. just yards away the sports venues are taking shape. meanwhile, this community is being taken apart. residents in this village have been served eviction notices by rio city hall. they're being told they need to move to make way for a road expansion next to the olympic park. this is one of the 58 on the list of those to be demolished. many of her neighbors have already gone. >> it's like a horror movie. this is hell. this used to be a peaceful community and we are trying to keep calm but we are very afraid. we've been under huge psychological pressure here. i can't even go on. >> reporter: almost 600 familyingfamily ings used to live here, but now there

are roughly 130. and for the ones remaining, it looks like the end of the road. the village is looking more and more like a ghost town. there are demolition sites and empty plots like this all over the community. this house here has been recently torn down. you can still make out the kitchen here. you can see a baby bedroom on the second floor. these people would have lived right next to the olympic park. back in 2013 the mayor wanted to talk to some of the residents to discuss their future options. but not everyone was invited. some tried to force their way in. their nerves on edge. inside, the mayor presented a new social housing project, where half of the community has now relocated. back then he said those who didn't want to leave would be able to stay. at a recent event to present a new tunnel ahead of the olympics, the mayor insisted

city hall had kept its promise. not everyone had to be moved, he told me but one area had to be cleared to build access roads. and he had approved eviction notices because time was running out. this promotional video of the park's construction showed the community in the top left corner, but it disappears in the final graphic of the project, giving way to a car park. amnesty international says that for more than 20 years, a variety of arguments have been used to try to remove the shanty town. >> the olympic scene is being used as an excuse to try to evacuate the community, which is a community that is not a very high-valued neighborhood. it's a neighborhood of the rio state market. >> reporter: officials say they should have benefitted from olympic investment, but the city says residents who have to be

moved will be well compensated. for those remaining, though this is home and they'll stay as long as they can keep a roof over their heads. >> and that brings us to the end of this bulletin here on bbc world news. thanks for being with us. you can call me shallow... but, i have a wandering eye. i mean, come on. national gives me the control to choose any car in the aisle i want. i could choose you... or i could choose her if i like her more. and i do. oh, the silent treatment. real mature. so you wanna get out of here? go national. go like a pro.
