hello, you're watching bbc news. i'm adnan nawaz. our top story: why we could all be living longer. new research examines life expectancy in the coming decades and shows many of us could reach 100th birthday. our other main stories this hour: donald trump issues tougher guidelines on illegal immigration, telling officials to enforce existing laws more strictly. we have a special report on human trafficking, speaking to some of the victims forced into prostitution. translation: we were terrified. they would beat us up and not let us out. to be controlled by someone, to be used as i was is totally degrading. i'm sally bundock. in business: it's been a bumpy ride for european plane maker airbus. analysts brace themselves for disappointing results,

as orders for new planes drop. and where is the money going? more's coming into china from foreign investors, but chinese investment overseas is falling. we explain why. as medical treatments improve, our understanding of nutrition gets better, and people embrace healthier lifestyles. they all mean we're living longer. of course it does. but a new study conducted in 35 industrialised countries by imperial college london and the world health organisation has been looking ahead to life expectancy in the year 2030. it's found that many in those countries can expect to get ever closer to living for 100 years. aisling mcveigh reports we all know we are living longer, but by just how we all know we are living longer, but byjust how much? apart from a blip in 2011 and 2012, life

expectancy in the uk has gradually been rising. from birth, the average life expectancy for a woman is currently just over 83 years. life expectancy for a woman is currentlyjust over 83 years. for a man it is 79. but according to experts the gender gap could be closing. by 2030 it has been predicted women's life expectancy will be over 85, with men's rising to 82.5. compared to south korea, where the average lifespan could break the 90 year barrier. countries that have done better our countries that have done better our countries that have done better our countries that have actually... that have managed to deal with health problems really well. south korea is doing remarkably well. they have some of the lowest level of hypertension and every city in the world. scientists once thought an average life expectancy of over 90 was impossible, but with research now suggesting there may be no upper limit, there's more for investment

in health and social to cope with an ageing population. doctorjames bennett from london's imperial college is the lead author of the study and joins us now from auckland in new zealand. thank you very much for your time. is it significant that the study only looked at industrialised countries? because of course when you look at lesser developed nations their life expectancy is dramatically different. yes, that's true. the developing countries go through a period of rapid gains in life expectancy. but they can also be unstable in their life expectancy is. they are more likely to suffer shocks to the system, be it wars and famines and whatnot. so we developed this methodology using 35 relatively

sta ble this methodology using 35 relatively stable countries and we will be looking to kind off expand that to the other countries in the world, but first things first. so the shocks excluded that you mentioned, would it therefore be because of increased advances in medication and also education about a healthier lifestyle that's helping people live longer? yes, that certainly helps the education and the medical technology and availability of medicines is a majorfactorfor the increases in life expectancy. medicines is a majorfactorfor the increases in life expectancym medicines is a majorfactorfor the increases in life expectancy. if the younger generation that's around today can expect to live to be 100, what will their health be like when they are in their 90s? that's a good question. although we didn't look into it in this study, we do know that other research shows that

although you may be gaining in years of life expectancy that doesn't mean those extra game the years will be yea rs of those extra game the years will be years of good health. quite often people are living in the longer ages and discovering that they may be suffering from disabilities or chronic diseases. that's something that we would think that the government would do well to kind off address and try to encourage people to remain healthy into their older ages. i don't suppose it was the brief of the researcher conducted to look at the implications of so many people living to such an age? because there's a thought that there may be too many people living on the planet in years to come. that was not our brief. that is definitely the view of some people. but then i

would also say that's also been the view going back many years, that there is a limit to what the world can deal with in terms of population and just like the life expectancy limit, which is expected to be the way we would reach 90 as a national life expectancy, that's where owl projecting will be surpassed. and it wouldn't surprise me if the population... the earth was capable of dealing with a larger population as well. we could always live on mars! they give very much indeed. that was the lead author of a study that shows that if you live in the right country you may leave to be 100. sadly, would you like that? no. shall i say that my great

grandmother passed away this year aged 99. amazing. good genes. anyway, i will be doing this programme for the next a0 years. can you cope with that? let's talk about the business stories. in less than an hour european plane maker airbus will tell the markets how it fared last year when it releases its full year results. it's been a tumultuous year for the company. it's been forced to accelerate last minute plane deliveries in order to meet key targets. there's also been a slowdown in demand forjets and it's even been forced to cut production of the prestige a380 superjumbo. the aao0m military transport plane has also proved a major drag. the project has been plagued by delays and technical problems. in less than one hour we will get

expert predictions on out. new figures show foreign investors are piling more money into china, but chinese investment overseas is falling. more than $7 billion has been invested in china so far this year. that's nearly double the same period last year. 0utbound deals have dropped to $8.5 billion, down a0%. so why is this trend happening and how long will it continue? we will get the lowdown from rizo hizon on that and the other business stories as well. the white house has issued tough new guidelines to deport more immigrants from the united states. officials have been told to enforce existing laws more strictly, and more quickly, and to target undocumented people arrested

for minor offences such as shoplifting or traffic violations, as well as those convicted of more serious crimes. fulfilling another of president trump's campaign promises, the department of homeland security plans to hire an extra 10,000 officers. the president needed to give guidance, especially after what they went through in the last administration. there were so many caveats that they had to figure out where ice agents and cvp agents had to each individualfit and had to adjudicate the case. the president wanted to take the shackles of individuals and say, you have a mission, there are laws that need to be followed. you should do the mission and follow the law. aahilan arulan—aantham is a legal director at the american civil liberties union and hejoins us now from los angeles. a political as well as an economic necessity as far as donald trump is concerned, i suppose. necessity as far as donald trump is concerned, isuppose. what necessity as far as donald trump is concerned, i suppose. what do you say? i can't comment on what the president's political motivations are for undertaking these steps, but it is definitely keeping a campaign promise and keeping with the

executive orders he issued earlier, in the sense that it's a dramatic crackdown and a signal i think to the rise of mass deportation and detention of immigrants in this country. and yet politically it will require help from congress, because of all the new ideas that he has to enforce these sorts of deportations. the extra officers, not least the building of the wall. we'll be aclu try to fight it politically and put pressure on congress? we will try to make the case in both congress and in the state and local legislative arenas, that this is both a violation of a lot of baste —— basic constitutional principles and bad policy. the idea that you would hire 15,000 agents, new agents, the

further militarised border and further militarised border and further extend the campaign that is potentially tearing apart families and makes it impossible or difficult for refugees to seek asylum here, that's not a way for the —— a good way for the government to spend money. if the new law likely to make the illegal immigrants live increasingly in the shadows? for example, not reporting being a victim of crime, in case they come face to face with a law enforcement officer? yes, absolutely. that's not just a matter of speculation, it is something we saw over decades before when they used to be more state and local cooperation with federal law enforcement. the reason why so many state and localjurisdictions went away from those kinds of policies is for exactly the reason you just said, it makes people who are undocumented and even people who are just uncertain about their

immigration status sketch report crime and unfortunately now the federal government has announced that it federal government has announced thatitis federal government has announced that it is their policy to try to encourage state and local cooperation and that they will be taking various steps to try to increase that. we appreciate your time. then queue. thank you for having me. people trafficking is a growing problem across europe. in the uk, more than 3,000 victims are trafficked into the country every year. and the number is rising. they come from all over the world, but by far the biggest share are from albania. in 2015, this relatively small country accounted for over 600 potential victims, about a fifth of the total. of those, the vast majority were female, and most of them were forced into prostitution. the bbc‘s reeta chakrabarti has been speaking to some of the victims. blessed with natural beauty, but the centre of a dark trade. albania has over two decades built up a brutal industry, with human beings the commodity. translation: i hate them and i want them to get the punishment

that they deserve. saya, now still a teenager, was just 1a when she was sold into a trafficking ring by a man she thought was her boyfriend. she was forced to sleep with several men a day and tells of a bewildering and terrifying world of abuse in which she could trust no one. translation: there were the other girls there as well, but i did not talk to them because you could not tell who was connected to whom. we were terrified. they would beat us up and not let us go out. to be controlled by someone, to be used as i was, is totally degrading. she lives here in a refuge for trafficked women in the south of the country. but these are schoolgirls, and some already have children of their own. all have escaped their traffickers. saya helped put some of hers behind bars. several convicted traffickers are held here in korce

high security prison. last year 18 people were sentenced, some here are serving 20 years or more. the albanian authorities let us talk to one of them. phatos was sentenced to 15 years for trafficking children to greece and forcing them to work as prostitutes or beggars. what made him, a married man with his own children, commit such a crime? translation: it was a time where everyone was doing that kind of thing. you used a child in order to earn some money, isn't what you did entirely wrong? translation: it's terrible. what if that were my child and someone did that to them? he faced justice but albania's been criticised for a lack of prosecutions and there are concerns over police collusion. some senior figures question whether trafficking is a real problem but the official line is that there are systems to deal with it. it's not a big concern.

it used to be many years ago. we had a system in place, and it's not an increasing trend, it is phenomenon that's constant but it has to be tackled properly and to make always sure the structures are working together. it is away from the modern capital city that all too often traffickers find their victims. albania remains a poor country and in many areas a woman's role is still seen as being in the home. young women in small—town albania can be easy prey for groomers who seduce them with promises of a better life. that better life is invariably outside albania but anna never dreamt of her fate. translation: he said he was looking for a girl like me and he wanted to start a family. she is now in a safe house in the uk, duped into leaving home and then sold into prostitution, she weeps throughout our interview

but insists she wants to tell her story. translation: i was somewhere underground with no sense of the world around me. they would not let me see. i entered the building blindfolded. and you were raped every day? translation: yes. every day. many men? translation: yes, many. anna is now supported in this safe house run by the salvation army. she has a baby, which gives her a reason to carry on. her story should trigger alarm in authorities here and across europe. a broken life caused by a brutal crime. reeta chakrabarti, bbc news. stay with us on bbc world news, still to come: the tsar and the ballerina — a film about a forbidden love affair that's causing uproar in russia.

prince charles has chosen his bride. the prince proposed to lady diana spencer three weeks ago. she accepted, she says, without hesitation. as revolutions go, this had its fair share of bullets. a climax in the night outside the gates of mr marcos's sanctuary, malacanang, the name itself symbolising one of the cruellest regimes of modern asia. the world's first clone has been produced of an adult mammal. scientists in scotland have produced a sheep called dolly using a cell from another sheep. every vehicle is greeted as if it was the first in the relief of kuwait. and in the city once among the richest in the world, kuwaitis can gather freely again. not for 20 years have locusts been seen in such numbers in this part of africa. some of the swarms have been ten miles long. this is the last time the public will see this pope. very soon, for the sake of the credibility and authority of the next pope, benedict xvi will, in his own words, be hidden from

have seen the video. you seen the caption and the lady movie away with her hands like this towards the washroom. so she knew very well that it was toxic and she had to wash your hands. can you confirm that one of them, or maybe both, said they thought they were just shooting a japanese tv show prank. we don't think so. no? easy mac we strongly believe it was a plant being. -- —— we strongly believe it was a planned thing. hong kong's former leader,

donald tsang, has been sentenced to 20 months in prison for misconduct while in public office. mr tsang was accused of accepting free renovations to a luxury apartment in china from a property company, in return for awarding its owner a broadcasting licence. american intelligence officials have said they believe china is building facilities to house surface—to—air missiles on three of its artificial islands in the south china sea. as yet, there's no sign of any weapons actually being installed. the chinese government has declined to comment. hundreds of bolivian coca farmers have clashed with police in the second straight day of violent protests in la paz. at least one person has been seriously injured and more than 1a0 arrested. the fight is against a government bill to limit legal areas of coca cultivation. virginia langeberg reports. on the streets of la paz, a turf war is being waged by coca farmers. they throw rocks, sticks, fireworks and

dynamite at police. riot officers fired back with teargas. this is the second day of clashes in bolivia's capital, resulting in injuries and many arrests. the violence erupted on monday, before continuing into the night. innocent bystanders forced to run for cover to avoid being caught in the crossfire. translation: the police had been violent with teargas and rubber bullets. but nobody cares. this aerial was set up a local government celebration. instead, it became a target for the protesters. the anger surrounds a draft plantation bill by the bolivian government which proposes to cap the legal airy outfall coca cultivation to 20,000 hectares. the farmers want to be of two producers much as local demand warrants. coca is the raw material

of cocaine, but bolivia allows cultivation of the leaf for legal use in andean religious ceremonies and asa use in andean religious ceremonies and as a remedy for our tissue sickness. the growers, which help in the region north of the capital, known as los yungas, believe that the bill davis farmers from the chapare region associated with president morales. chase it hurts have us on the street. it those in the street see this as a fight for their livelihoods. orthodox russians are calling for a film on the love life of the last tsar to be banned, claiming it's blasphemous. the film focuses on an affair between nicholas ii and a ballerina before he took to the throne. sarah rainsford reports. this is matilda, her voice, at

least. in moscow studio, a film telling the love story of a ballerina her russian prince is in the final stages of production. that prince is nicholas, who became the last czar of russia. but he is also an orthodox saint, now. —— tsar. some upset but exploration of his private life. inside russia's parliament, an mp shows me a mountain of complaint letters. she says they are from religious russians upset at the mere idea of the film. but nobody has actually seen it yet. translation: but the fan of nicholas is hoping to get the film banned. translation: this is not censorship. this is about citizen rights. you cannot show sex with a soros

believers. but offensive feelings of believers. but offensive feelings of believers. there are limits, it decency. there must be mutual respect. matilda is not due to set the cinema screens here until the autumn. at this fuss is not likely to die down any time soon. —— mathilde. it is about more than just one film. there is now a lot of talk about patriotism in the arts and for russian values, and that has led some to fear that they are falling back to the old ideology and censorship. and they are worried about attacks like this. that is a self appointed defender of rowdy. in siberia, it was this wagner opera that orthodox activists got shut down. now a group of radicals has said that cinemas will burn is the film is shown. the film's director has taken the threat to the police.

but the legal battle over mathilde goes on. this means is there is no insight here. but he says this love story cannot be off—limits to the arts. translation: this is a president that we need to stop. if not, prosecutor will only be dealing with complaints from people who say they have been offended by films and books and art, and it will be absurd. so mathilde has become a test of where russia's limits on creative freedom now live. sarah ra i nsfo rd , creative freedom now live. sarah rainsford, bbc news, moscow. a brief reminder of our top stories. a new study has been looking ahead to life expectancy in the year 2030. it's found that many people in industrialised countries can expect to get closer to living for 100 years. sally with a world business report
