the youngest person to join forbes billionaires list. this is the story, of one community in crisis... it turned her into a monster. an appeal by prosecutors has failed, and the former boss of nissan, carlos ghosn, is to be released from jail injapan on bail of a billion yen, nearly $9 million. japanese media suggest he could be free as early as wednesday. he's been detained ..of a generation addicted to, for more than 100 days and dying from, prescription drugs. since his arrest last november i've been there while folk on charges of financial misconduct. died, in my house. he denies any wrongdoing. it‘s the story of the changing face of substance abuse... this xanax business, that's really quite new. ..and an unseen trade in deadly pills, via the internet, straight to your door. it‘s drugs like this that are killing people in scotland, and that‘s how easy it is to get a hold of it, via facebook. earlier, i spoke to our business reporter mariko oi who says it's a surprise for someone to be released without a confession. we wondered if he would be released last night after the appeal by prosecutors was rejected but apparently couldn't post bail of $9 million,

as you mentioned, and according to his lawyer, it is not like you can find $9 million in your pocket, can you? it's not as if it could fit in a suitcase, he said. the prosecution's appeal, it is possible he could be walking out of a detention centre later today. the conditions are very tough. he is going to be under surveillance all the time. he has to visit his lawyers that he was to use a computer, otherwise all the communications on his mobile phone as will assist laptop will be restricted but apparently he is allowed to go shopping, as long as he doesn't meet with anyone related to the case or he can even travel withinjapan as long as it's not for more than three days, according to his lawyer. mr ghosn is reportedly not too happy. this is the third time his team has requested it.

and at least he has limited freedom later today. he has a new legal team, is it thought to be significant? his new lawyer is nicknamed razor because of his track record of winning some high—profile cases in the past. he changed less than a month ago. this third bail request is made by the new legal team and that's what is believed to be behind this success in getting him bail. of course, because there has been a lot of international spotlight pressure on the japanese judicial system, there has been criticism, especially in france, where he was the leader of the carmaker renault, and concern over why he was held for so long without being found guilty and concern over the ruling yesterday, speculation whether this was the japanese authorities bowing to external pressures but i seriously doubt it and it is down to razor, this lawyer who has managed to come

up with these very strict conditions of bail in order to secure his release. president nicolas maduro of venezuela has launched a direct challenge to juan guaido, the opposition leader who's publicly trying to bring him down. mr maduro said he would defeat a crazed minority and urged people to take to the streets on saturday for an anti—imperialist march. that's also the day on whichjuan guaido has called for anti—government demonstrations. the president's comments were the first since mr guaido defied him and returned to the country on monday. while a crazed minority continues with their hatred and their bitterness, that's their problem. we will not pay attention to them, compatriots. we are going to stop them in our tracks. we will not pay attention to them. let the crazed minority continu with its bitterness. we will defeat them. have absolute security for chavez, for the country, we will do it.

let's get some of the day's other news counter—terrorism police in london are investigating 3 small explosive devices sent to two airports and a major railway station. no one was hurt although one device partially ignited when it was opened. police are keeping an open mind on motive. united nations officials say an unprecedented humanitarian crisis is developing in the west african state of burkina faso. attacks by islamist extremists and others have driven more than 100,000 people from their homes, most in the first two months of this year. at least 500,000 are at risk of food insecurity. michael bloomberg — former mayor of new york — has announced he won't be running for president in 2020. in a statement, he said he was ‘clear—eyed' about the difficulty of winning the democratic nomination in a crowded field — but would keep on trying to combat climate change.

president trump will go to alabama on friday — to support emergency teams coping with the aftermath of the tornadoes that left 23 people dead. seven members of one family are among the dead. teams are now going house to house, hoping to find survivors in the wreckage. a local sheriff says it's the worst destruction his area has seen in 50 years. the bbc‘s chris buckler is there. the destruction caused by these tornadoes stretches for miles and miles, and this is what you find. houses completely ruined by the high winds, that have just thrown trees right into them. you can see right into this home. it has lost its walls, and you can see just how powerful the tornado has been because this is a tree that has been uprooted here. of course, in some places, there are no homes left.

we travelled into one of the worst affected areas in beauregard with a resident. as we drove in, you could not see any buildings. there was no sign of the houses that had been there until you got up closer, and you saw the debris of people's lives. there were also startling sights like a car wrapped around a tree, and of course, in this area, there were people who died. the lee county sheriff's office has been releasing more information about the victims — the youngest was just six years old, the oldest was 89 years of age. we have one family connected by marriage, where we have lost seven lives in one family. people have been telling me that the whole community is heartbroken, but there are also people telling me they feel very lucky to be alive because they were inside their homes as the tornado made its way through the area. this man lost an entire room of his house as a result of the force of the winds. man, it was, wejust had so much fear that the roof was fixing to leave. the wind picked the roof up, but then it came back down.

there are still areas deliberately closed off, with electricity companies trying to repair all of the downed power lines, and there are still search teams working, trying to find those people who have been reported missing and still have not been found. and that's why there are these warnings the death toll could yet again rise. britain's most senior police officer has spoken out against the prime minister's claim that cuts in the police service are not directly to blame for a rise in violent crime. the metropolitan police commissioner said there was ‘some link‘ between crime on the streets and police numbers. our home editor mark easton has more details. a youth in a balaclava with a knife. the video of this incident in lancashire yesterday quickly went viral on social media. no—one was seriously hurt and police quickly made arrests, but once again knife crime is britain's waking nightmare.

oh, my god! what else can be done? what can we do to prevent young people getting involved in knife crime? the commissioner of the metropolitan police spent the morning trying to reassure the public. was the recent spike in stabbings down to cuts in officer numbers, she was asked. there have been more demand for policing, and therefore there must be some link between violent crime on the streets, obviously, and police numbers, of course there is, and i think everybody would see that. her comments appear to contradict the prime minister, who yesterday said this. there is no direct correlation between certain crimes and police numbers. so, is that right? since 2010, the number of police officers in england and wales has fallen from around 140,000 down to 117,000 last year. at the same time, the number

of violent crimes causing injury has also gone down, from about one million incidents a year at the beginning of the decade, to around 600,000 in recent years. the figures don't offer compelling evidence that more officers means less crime. murders are up, but attempted murders are down. knife crime is up, but gun crime is down. it's not that straightforward. the prime minister told the cabinet today the government's response to knife crime went beyond the police to what she called a whole government approach. there were hints of extra resources with ministerial meetings being urgently convened. right now, there is an air of crisis. why do you think people carry knives, as a young person yourself? because there might be people after them and for protection... at the crib youth centre in north london, 13—year—old anthony is taking part in a knife crime awareness course. be honest, do you think people can protect themself with a knife? it depends on what situation they're in. they worry about cuts to police here, and cuts to youth services, but they also worry that the wider community is not taking its responsibility. yesterday we were called to an area where a young person was getting jumped and beat up.

we ran out and went to that area. and there were people in that area, other adults in there, just standing around, and there is a group of about 35 young people around one child. it's our responsibility as well, notjust to stand there and let these things happen. left, right. the mayor of london — at a youth forum today — and the home office, are both looking to fund the front line. both advocating a public health approach to knife crime, treating it as you would an infectious disease. some go further, arguing we need to provide therapy to vulnerable young people. knife crime and youth violence is a communication to society that something is not working. it's really about understanding a young person from their perspective and really holding in mind that also they are perpetrators, but they are also victims. and i think when you hold those two positions in mind, you can develop a sense of empathy and understanding that allows

you to go forward in a different way. as police in east london search for clues to the apparently random stabbing of a 17—year—old jodie chesney, family members today backed calls for longerjail terms for carrying knives. people want it to stop, but experience tells us there are no quick and easy solutions. a man has been mauled to death by a lion at his family home in the eastern czech republic. michal prasek kept the nine year old big cat and another lioness for breeding, in home—made enclosures in his back yard — even though he'd been denied planning permission and fined for illegal breeding. ramzan karmali has the story. police shoot is whether residents have michal prasek, a 35—year—old man mauled by his pet line. the borderline in 2016 and bought a lioness in order to breed them. his father found the body on the line's cage which had been locked from the inside. local police said they were forced into track sheep —— drastic

action. in the morning, an incident between the owner are not blind he kept occurred, resulting in fatal consequences. in order to reach the man, police had to reach shoot the line is dead. his line is attacked a cyclist while being taken for a walk by the breeder. back then, police deemed itjust a traffic violation. local residents had repeatedly voiced their concerns. he kept the lines in home built pens and it is about getting the appropriate permits. also, that's repeatedly refused to give permission to breed. he'd been fined a number of times as a result and authorities were left powerless. a lack of alternative facilities or any evidence of animal cruelty meant the lions could be forcibly removed. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: how did 21—year—old kyliejenner become the youngest self—made

billionaire? a forbes editor explains how she made their list. first, the plates slid gently off the restaurant tables. then suddenly, the tables, the chairs and people crashed sideways and downwards, and it was just a matter of seconds as the ferry lurched onto her side. the hydrogen bomb. on a remote pacific atoll, the americans had successfully tested a weapon whose explosive force dwarfed that of the bomb dropped on hiroshima. i had heard the news earlier, and so my heart went bang, bang, bang! the constitutional rights of these marchers are their rights as citizens of the united states, and they should be protected even in the right to test them out, so that they don't get their heads broken and are sent to hospital.

this religious controversy — i know you don't want to say too much about it — but does it worry you that it's going to boil up when you get to the states? well, it worries me, yes, but i hope everything will be all right in the end, as they say. good to have you with us on bbc news. the latest headlines: carlos ghosn's expected to be leaving this tokyo jail. prosecutors fail to stop bail for the former nissan boss. it's been set at nearly $9 million. venezuela's president maduro urges his supporters to take to the streets, promising to defeat an opposition he calls a crazed minority. bmw, makers of the iconic mini, have issued a stark warning about the impact a no—deal brexit might have on its production in the uk. the german motor manufacturer said it would have to consider moving production of the mini away

from its current base in oxford. and the japanese car maker toyota has also warned that a no—deal brexit would make it extremely complicated to build new models in the uk. our business editor simonjack has more details. cowley in oxford is the home of the mini. and although it's now german—owned as a model and as a brand, it doesn't get much more british than this. a new mini drives off the production line here every minute. but bmw warned today that moving production out of the uk was an option in a no—deal brexit scenario. the key in these times is definitely flexibility. we are prepared for a lot of scenarios. we are very flexible in the production, we've pulled forwards some production interruptions, but we also have a plan b if things are changing. so, we will see what the outcome is but bmw will answer with flexibility. this isn't the first warning from mini's owner, bmw, but it's perhaps the starkest language, the strongest tone we've heard from this company about the potential consequences

of a no—deal brexit. it won't be news to the government. the business secretary has continually warned that that outcome would be ruinous for the entire industry and the government stresses it's an outcome they are still very keen to avoid. the amount of money invested in the uk car industry in recent years tells a pretty grim story. in 2015, over £2.5 billion was invested. that has fallen every year since to just under £600 million in 2018. that's a total fall of 80% injust three years. the alarm is industry—wide. the head of toyota's european operations said a bad brexit result could jeopardise future investment at its uk factory near derby. if it becomes more difficult, in terms of duties in trading, then it is very difficult to think about the future.

of course, short term, we can overcome, if there's problems with logistics or whatever, but we need to think about what is the long—term effect if this is not materialising correctly? today's warnings are further body blows to an industry reeling from honda's recent decision to close its swindon factory. nissan reversing plans to build an additional model in sunderland and jaguar land rover laying off thousands of workers. they all pointed to factors beyond brexit. but bmw and toyota are clear that for them, the chance of a no—deal brexit is the issue putting their uk future at risk. simon jack, bbc news. the singer r kelly, who's facing charges of sexual abuse, has angrily denied the allegations in an interview with cbs tv news. he was arrested in chicago last month and faces four charges, three of them related to underage girls. gayle king asked him if he had ever held anyone against their will. i don't need to. why would i? with all i have been through in my past

to hold somebody let alone for a, five, six... how stupid would i be to do that? that is stupid, guys! is this camera on me? yes, it's on. that's stupid! use your common sense. don't — forget the blogs, forget how you feel about me. hate me if you want to, love me if you want. butjust use your common sense. how stupid would it be for me, with my crazy past and what i've been through — oh, right now ijust think i need to be monster, hold girls against their will, chain them up in my basement, and don't let them eat, and don't let them out unless they need some shoes down the street from their uncle! robert... stop it. quit playing! i didn't do this stuff! this is not me! kylie jenner has become the world's youngest self—made billionaire

at the age of 21. the reality television star and entrepreneur has joined the exclusive rich list published each year by financial magazine, forbes. she founded her beauty products company, kylie cosmetics, just three years ago. kerry dolan is assistant managing editor at forbes. kerry, i know, you're one of the two editors who compile the billionaires list. how has kylie done it exactly? well, she did it her own way, she started out being famous because of course she was on that tv show, keeping up with a kaddish ian. she had 110 million instagram followers about six months ago —— kardashians. she has a very shoestring company, she outsources production about cosmetics, she uses her instagram and other social media to

essentially do all the marketing and she takes beautiful pictures, put them online and young buyers of cosmetics flocked to her products. she has done brilliantly well in financial terms, you cannot begrudge her or deny her, and she has been a very adept businesswoman, she has really leveraged its brand. people are taking exception on social media to the term self made. she built on the royalties from the tv show that herfamily started, the royalties from the tv show that her family started, she was still a child and money and connections were already there. one person has said, congratulations to her, i admire her work ethic at 21, but she stepped through and diamond studded door that would already open. through and diamond studded door that would already openlj through and diamond studded door that would already open. i agree, but we are not saying she did it alone, we are not saying that she started out or alter what we mean by self—made is that she did not inherited business. forbes, we do these broad divisions of that people

on our list, self—made, inherited or some people inherit fortunes and then expand them. she know that inherited the company, she founded it. we know she came from a wealthy family, yes, we know her commission —— connections helped her get noticed for her products, but she owns 100% of the company, she used to hundred and $50,000 on her modelling to start the company and by forbes definition, she is self—made. what are her other ambitions from here, do you think? i assume she will want to keep expanding her cosmetics line. it was all online until november last year except rape view pop—up sales and then she put it in a new stores in then she put it in a new stores in the united states. it sold like wildfire and that is what helped her get onto the billionaires list is

this additional boost in sales from having her goods in stores. who knows, maybe she will go global. she hasn't said, but she certainly has a big platform from it anything she decides to do, she can put out an instagram post and 128 million people will see it and she has a great way to communicate her neck step. i had step. ihada step. i had a slight suspicion that you kind of knew that expression self—made were a lot of people would ta ke self—made were a lot of people would take exception to that, and you knew it put a rocket under the story, that social media would go crazy, and it has. a little bit cynical? it isn't. it is how we have been doing the list of the billionaires since 1987 and we have had these broad categories, so she felt into the self—made category. we put on the self—made category. we put on the cover forbes injuly and had a lot of pushback then, so we were not surprised by the pushback we got on

social media today. people can disagree with our definitions, that is fine, but we feel like we are sticking with our traditional definition. she is doing 0k either way. thank you very much. we have an update on a story we've been covering. it's about two sisters who went missing in woodlands in the us for two days over the weekend. well, they've been found safe and well. 8—year—old leia and 5—year—old caroline were discovered huddled under a bush, having survived drinking water from huckleberry leaves and eating cereal bars they had brought with them. it was starting to drizzle so i knew we had to find shelter fast. we forgot that no—one should pass that marker, so we just wanted a little more, but i said to go a little further.

we found shelter close to the ground and we had my sister's green jacket. —— rainjacket to keep us warm. we turned it sideways, so each of us had an armhole to stick our arms into. so we wouldn't get separated. they did the right thing. i mean, they might have wandered off, but they stuck together and they pulled themselves through. they saved each other. we could do with some happy endings. they did good. more for you on the bbc website. thank you for watching.
