london in the early hours of this monday morning. we understand that prince william was there throughout and for the delivery. there is a mass media presence outside, camped out in the streets. that is the scene even now as we speak. let's get more analysis of the situation. judith joins us by skype. give us some context of what this all means. >> i think in some ways, it is almost a shame that it is a boy because it is going to be less obvious that there has been a very real change to the system of primogeniture. in some ways, while we are making something of a noise about the fact that she has given birth to a son, in a sense, she has given birth to a child, and if it had been a daughter, that would have been the next in line after william,

after her father, to the throne. i am talking about the change in the law. >> this would have been highlighted, had it been a girl. >> yes, but i think it is delightful that a healthy child has been born, and i think it is even more interesting that they managed to keep the birth silent for four hours, so they could, in fact, tell all the people they wanted to tell privately, as other parents normally expect to do. they were not counted by leaks, by twitter, things like that. so it shows it can be done. >> indeed, remarkable that social networking never got wind of it. can i paula con -- call upon your death the knowledge to answer this next question about the popularity and standing of the royal family at this present moment. do you think it has never been

higher? >> it has undoubtedly been higher, but i think it stands we have an absence of scandals, which means that apart from anything else, the focus is on all the positive qualities of the monarchies as an institution, and also on the individuals who are involved. the queen herself, her son had grandchildren, and now her pnewest great grandchild. >> thank you very much indeed for your thoughts and analysis, joining us by skype from the uk, celebrating the birth of the royal baby. william and kate, as they are more popularly known, their fairytale wedding was watched by

millions were called, and now their first child comes into the world with ever-present media attention. let's look back at the private romance live down before the media spotlight. >> it all started here in 2001 with a shy young man in his first year of university. it was during his time at st. andrews in scotland when the air to the british throne ran into the woman who was later to become his wife. >> take would go running in the mornings and he would turn up in the canteen and make sure that william had caught her eye. by the end of the first term, they were breakfasting together. but the end of the first year that something of a) chip and by the end of the second year that had moved in together into a townhouse -- there was an understanding that would never be photographed together. they would not be pictured holding hands.

>> following their graduation, kate middleton was soon a permanent fixture at williams side, accompanying him on official engagements while the u.k. media speculated about a possible marital engagement. middleton's family became a target for the newspapers and the lady herself subjected to infamous -- to enlist comparisons with the late duchess of wales. many believe it was this constant scrutiny that comes in to break off the relationship briefly in 2007, the break up the short-lived. she did not have too long to wait. in november 2010 the couple announced their engagement and on april 29, 2011, london came to a standstill for the wedding of the year. just under 2000 people were on the official guest list, but for those who couldn't be there, over a billion viewers follow the ceremony on television or on line.

they became the duke and duchess of cambridge and it was not long before the royal baby rumors started circulating. when the pregnancy was announced in december 2012, member of remanufactures were quick to capitalize on the event, although many of them had held back production of souvenirs, not knowing whether to make pink or blue commemorative plates. the couple had decided to keep the sex of the baby a surprise. >> pope francis it is in brazil, his first overseas trip since becoming head of the catholic church. brazil has the highest number catholics in the world. the pope has been speaking to a the generation of young people. let's get more on this now. the atmosphere i imagine is electric. >> yes, there is an atmosphere

of euphoria of months the pilgrims who have come in the hundreds of thousands from all over the world, especially from the cultures of latin america. pope francis is very keen to meet the people. he had a tumultuous car ride from tntonal airport through rio ceerthey were tryine car to a complete standstill, but the pope was amazingly serene after the trans-atlantic journey. accepting gifts, kissing babies, looking very much at home. his mission at the moment is to get out and meet the people. >> i imagine security as ever is on a high for this kind of visit. >> it certainly is. especially given the fact that this pope, come what may, is going to get out and meet the people and take risks that will

bring nightmares to some of the people who are supposed to be guarding him. it has been revealed that a homemade bomb was found near where the pope will be going on wednesday. he will be going to a mass in sao paolo. a homemade bomb was found there by the air force, and that will raise further figures of the authorities, with the eyes of the world on them, they really don't want anything to go wrong. they are aware that this pope is disposed to take risks. >> a man has been killed and dozens injured in clashes between supporters and opponents of the ousted egyptian president mohammed morsi. they threw stones and shot fireworks at each other near tahrir square. this comes as the family of mohammed morsi says it will file

formal complaints over what it is calling his abduction. egypt first democratically elected president was forced from office on july 3 by the army after days of mass protest against him on the streets. what she has not seen her father since the egyptian military overthrew him on july 3 and took him into custody. today she accuses the country's military generals of kidnapping him. >> we only recognize the legitimate president as a ruler. we hold the leader of the military group and the whole of his group responsible for the health and safety of our father, the citizen and the president. >> during a news conference, the morsi family said they would take local and international measures. the country's defense minister who led his ouster. so for the army has refused to disclose where he is being detained. they say it is for his own

safety. according to judicial sources, authorities questioned him on july 14 over his escape from prison. during the 2011 revolution that toppled hosni mubarak. the u.s. and the european union have called for his release, but the country's interim authorities rejected these calls, saying he was being held in a safe place. >> in paris this monday we were wilting in the heat. 35 degrees it was. i have changed into a more suitable attire for this news bulletin. some relaxing in the rules to gain at tech -- gain access to some cool places to it cooled. 35 degrees in 56 meters of water. that is all that is needed to turn this priscian fountain into a five-star swimming pool. >> i have a view of the eiffel tower. what more could ask for?

>> across town, many sunseekers now find a heat wave even too hot to handle. this water spray has changed my life. for the less prepared, organizers have install these vaporizers that do the job just as well. >> we are not by the sea, but at least we are cooling off, so we are really happy. >> someone else who is happy in the heat is the ice cream cellar. his customers just keep coming as the temperatures rise. it is going great. i think all of paris is here. >> it is so good, it is really refreshing. >> love it or loathed it, the heat wave is set to last the next three days. the mercury forecast to rise to 34 degrees in the capital this monday.

>> a world record for you, with a spring in his step. 1693 people kicking up their heels in dublin to set a new guinness world record for the longest river dance line of dancers, beating the previous record by over 1000. the previous record of 652 people dancing in a continuous line. this is very much a once-in-a- lifetime event. fantastic stuff. stay with us, more news throughout the night and more news on the birth of the royal baby in the u.k.

>> hello and welcome to be on business. this is where we look at the latest trends in the global economy. we are looking at whether international aid should come with strings attached. if you donate to good calls, should you get a say in what your money is spent on? the eu and united states are the world's biggest donors, but their approaches to giving are very different. the u.s. often pushes for its aid contributions to be spent on american products. you might argue it is good business sense, an effective way to ensure that aid programs benefit of recipient and donor countries. there is also criticism of the american approach and eu members don't tend to make the same connection between eight and trade. let's take a closer look.

>> most prepared to navigate of the niger river, headed to timbuktu. on board, food provided by the wfp, the world food program. he takes two days to travel the 500 kilometers. those hit hardest by the conflict are found in timbuktu. many there are living in extreme poverty. one out of five households are faced with severe food shortages in northern mali. or the 25,000 people received aid from the wfp in march 2013. in addition to 150,000 displaced malians in other parts of the country. >> when food is available and the issue is purchasing power, it can cost less to give money to these people. so that they can buy goods.

>> this can also have positive impacts on the market's development. >> in addition to developing the local economy, distributing vouchers helps reduce transport costs and avoid storing food and warehouses that don't respect certain norms. in this refugee camp in northern iraq, syrian families get their supplies directly from shopkeepers that have accepted the monetary transfer system, a system put in place in 2012, but that remains marginal. >> food vouchers and money transfers only represent 7% of the total volume of the wfp's today. that is $360 million a year. food distribution is still the main activity. >> in 2012, they purchased food

valued at $1.10 billion u.s.. that is 65% of the food that we delivered to our operations. the other 35% were received in kind. >> with more than $1 billion a year, the wfp often prefers to supply itself locally. over two-thirds of the 2.1 million tons of food the wfp bought in 2012 came from developing nations. the bidding process includes a strict set of rules. >> we compare by price of a commodity like the serial in the international market with the cost it needs to bring it to the country where we require it, and we compare that with what we would pay in the local market. whatever is cheaper, this is what we will go for because it gives us more food for the people we want to help and we need to help. >> the list of suppliers remain secret and it is impossible to

find out which donors give in cash and which ones give in kind. transparency has its limits, even in the humanitarian world. >> we do not track how much is in cash or in kind. >> around 100 countries donate every year. in the lead, the u.s., the eu, and japan, canada, and australia. >> last year almost four dollars billion u.s. in contributions from those donors, the top 10 donors. that actually contribute about 80% of the $4 billion. >> the u.s. is the biggest donor and also provides the most aid in kind. washington keeps a close eye on the doug afp and the last four directors have been u.s. nationals.

american food aid is said to be tied with benefits its farmers directly -- benefits its farmers directly. the main purpose is not to help other nations but to help ourselves. these images have become a symbol of american generosity. on each sack of flour are rice, the american flag and the emblem of usaid. >> americans, american politicians take pride in those pictures of grains of american rice and flour being delivered overseas to refugee camps, keeping people alive. >> but this kind of aid is facing growing criticism from the u.s. development community. almost all food aid donated by the u.s. government is bought from american farmers, a system designed in the 1950's during a time of huge surpluses. >> that you have a situation where you don't have surplus

commodities -- now you have a situation where you don't have surplus commodities in america. it is very expensive to ship on american ships and it would be much more efficient and effective to purchase those commodities on the world market. i think the vast majority of the development community sees the need for change. >> usaid did not respond to our request for an interview. the agency pushed through a new rule a year ago allowing untied aid, but for food aid, the new rule doesn't apply, and other organizations are crying foul. >> there are people in the u.s. to like the system the way it is now, that benefit from the system the way it is now. and our constituents and political supporters like the way it is now. that is largely the u.s. agriculture industry and the u.s. shipping industry. we are at a point now where the inefficiencies in that are no longer tenable. >> american humanitarian policy

is shifting toward the european model, but congress is still not convinced. report in 2006 estimated that tied aid adds 30% to cost. a plan that supports the european position. brussels opted for untied aid, meaning european humanitarian products don't benefit its farmers. >> the annual budget has been gradually creeping up in recent years. it has gone in the past two years from just under zero billion biros per year -- under of billion euros for year and ended up 1.3 billion for humanitarian aid. we impose no conditions whatsoever for giving our eight. as i said previously, the only criteria that we apply it is

needs and access to vulnerable populations around the world. respond to crises and we expect nothing in return. but among those agencies that have access to that funding, there is the wfp, received more than 220 million biros in the untied aid in 2012. despite claims the commission expects nothing in return, at every euro counts, especially in times of hardship, for european countries just like everyone else. france intervened in around 20 countries with an annual budget of 35 million euros. in 2011, over half was spent on international organizations such as the wfp. >> unlike other nations who in some sense export their services through food aid, france does not use tied aid. i work with -- it generates an income and supports agricultural

development in those countries. >> french policy shies away from using its food aid program as a leveraging tool. there's no discussion either on helping national companies. cracks wise very nature, food aid from france is not an instrument to support french companies. glaxo is beating the hungry incompatible with economic interests of donor countries? for the united states, the answer is no. for europe and france, it is yes. >> with that we will wrap up this edition of be on business. thank you for watching. if you want to watch the show again our previous edition of the program, you can head to our website. also you can check out our what -- iphone and android applications. stay with us, we have more news coming your way.

>> the show is based on our network of observers, who tell us what is going on where they live and send photos and videos to document it. we verify at all here in paris and bring the best to you. the biggest city in syria, aleppo, is currently split in half. one side is held by the rebels, the other by the army. the rebels have established a blockade to stop goods from reaching the army soldiers. that means severe shortages of food and other basic goods. to find them, we have to go into the rebel zone, which is very risky. our observer tells us about the city's most dangerous checkpoint. >> the check. separates the area controlled by the rebels and the controlled by

the army. local residents started protesting so the rebels reopened it. rebels only allowed a tiny amount of goods into the neighborhoods, controlled by the army. these goods are meant for civilians. the rebels don't want the regular soldiers to receive anything. aleppo residents live in very difficult conditions, especially those who live in a zone controlled by the army. everything has become expensive, particularly food. the checkpoint is a very dangerous place for civilians. those who try to take it to neighborhoods controlled by the army and those controlled by the rebels risk their lives. there's an army sniper posted their all-time. -- at all times. not all the rebels agreed on what to do with the checkpoint. should it stay open or not? some want to close it.

because there are also shortages on the rebel side, this influx of civilians just makes this a -- just makes the situation worse. but in guinea, more than half the population lives under the poverty line. some of the poorest families send their children to work in the capital's garbage dumps where hygienic conditions are less than ideal. one of our observers went to see these children at work. >> many children have left school and work at the dumps. they look for pieces of scrap metal which they sell to shopkeepers. for 1 kilo they make the equivalent of 5-10 u.s. cents. everything is mixed together. there is mud, in sex, it is hard to describe, but it really stinks' -- there is mud, insects.

what will become of these children to our three years down the road? will they become sick, will they become delinquents, will they live on the streets? the parents know they are at the dumps all day long. the children have become sources of income, but why don't they go work in the dumps and leave their kids at home? of course the state also has a responsibility in all this. the government should enforce the laws that are supposed to protect children. but in guinea, these laws are just words that are completely ignored. now, a look at some of the most striking images sent in from around the world this week by our observers. throwing rocks is a common offense in the west bank for tensions run high between palestinians and israeli settlers. it is rather common for soldiers to arrest rock throwers, some of whom can be quite young.

what is rare is for a 5-year-old to be detained. the israeli army says this was standard procedure and that the child was not arrested, he was just handed over to the palestinian police. our observer believes no child should be treated this way, whether or not he threw a rock. next step, bangkok, where there is a restaurant called hitler. that is right, as in adolf hitler. in this region, many people don't know much about the german dictator's crimes, so his image is used to sell everything from hamburgers to t-shirts. we finish in egypt but the video that shows you how to make bulletproof vests with soda cans. it does take some time, but it is keep. -- it is cheap. that is all for this week.
