Has taken no fewer than $26.00 private charter flights at a cost to the u.s. Taxpayer of more than $400000.00 and while some of those trips were indeed on government business others were to places where Mr Price either owns property or has relatives well by all accounts Donald Trump is far from pleased with all this now Mr Price has offered to pay back the cost of all that luxury travel that's a check to the u.s.

Documentary on stations based. On hidden venues David Korea was a young photographer working for some of the biggest music magazines of the 1980 s. He showed some of his pictures to the news rooms Richard Hamilton. Tim Westwood a very young 2 months with his he was actually in that town council house clocked in East London somewhere and this was probably a typical location for pirate radio D.J.'s They were always having to move from location to location because they were constantly being hunted down by the various crew tasking officials that didn't agree with pirate radio so the red line kits pinned up along the walls to try to battle the sound of it. Drawing to try to hide what is actually going on in the the immobile antennas for the radio stations that would be on top of high places he was very influential in bringing a lot of American. Ruffles particularly he started playing the records of the radio station with London returned radio he was influential certainly and obviously went to larger things but I'm also in a very exciting time I mean where they literally on the run from the police all the time with that sort of cat and mouse that started the pirate radio station closed down public very much so the frequency of the radio station would suddenly vanish you could be driving along and be able to go down one street get a good signal to the left and suddenly that signal that gong it was very sort of out of focus to what was actually going to be happening from day to day almost depending on where they were broadcasting from it was an exciting time and it was a period when the clock music was really becoming big tips Well there were a lot of night. Gave all the t.j. It's a good opportunity to advertise where they were going to be performing Ok sure look at the next picture Ok so we've got 2 young men one sort of pulling the airs of another one and they're in a room it's not really a nightclub and there's people dancing various mixed races all having a good time and large speakers and I got a turntable and I'm mixing desk so who we've got here we've got John's Pizza and very young looking trials Peterson and Chris buying the 2 D.J.'s that are performing it's a back room with a harp in London Bridge just Peterson was deejaying for I think radio in that time so in fact it was a pirate radio so yeah yeah what happened to it it just disappeared Yeah I think that was the thing with the you know quite a lot of stations they if they couldn't get broadcasting licenses they carried on illegally for a fair period and then got sucked up and D.J.'s realised they could actually get paid to go into more than just some of the stations so to speak.

See a new try food wreck seen could play a significant role in stopping the spread of the disease type of affects millions of people around the world one in every 100 cases is deadly anthropology from Oxford University was involved in the study and he told me why they're working on a new vaccination when others already exist for the disease typhoid cause a huge burden of disease in those parts of the world where there is a lack of access to good quality water and those poor sanitation because it's going to take decades for the engineering work to be put in place to sort that out we want to try and get to a point where we might improve health by eliminating typhoid much earlier now the traditional way of doing that is to test vaccines out in the field which means that we vaccinate tens of thousands of people against time for it and then wait to see if they get the disease or not and hopefully those have been vaccinated don't get the disease for that will take several years to complete so what we've done I'm here in this project is to go to volunteer is in the u.k. Who have been deliberately infected with typhoid so that rather than tens of thousands of people we can vaccinate just 100 individuals and then expose them to typhoid and see how many of them go on to develop disease so what did you find out so what we found out after practice making those 100 individuals and challenging them with typhoid was that the vaccine would use the the rate of time by 50 percent now that may not seem like a particularly high figure but the model that we use for challenging people is very tough on the back side it makes it extremely hard for it to perform well we keep very high doses and then let it able to cause a very high infection rate which wouldn't happen in the field that we need to do that in order to be able to run the study in such a small number of volunteers and if we look at our data in a different. Let me try to get more like they attack rapes that we might see in the field we don't see protection right that's nearer 87 percent so I think we can say from our data that the back seat will provide somewhere between the most conservative 50 percent protection from a maybe as high as 87 protection in the field so what needs to be done now to make this fax the more readily available so the next step from here is so with these data that the World Health Organization will be making recommendations next month about the use of typhoid Banksy then it's possible they funders of global vaccine rollout that will consider providing the funds for some parts of the world to introduce this vaccine with the hope that I mean the years ahead will be able to eliminate typhoid to most areas most affected Andrew Pollack from Oxford University 4 months after winning the French presidential election Emmanuelle crones political honeymoon appears to be over he's facing protests on the streets criticism of the papers and popularity ratings that have dipped more sharply than any of his recent predecessors are Paris correspondent Lucy Williamson has been looking at why the French so often hate their presidents. So it's September the leaves are starting to fall along the shelves and he's a Emanuel McCall is rolling out his sweeping campaign of reforms and vital protest of appearing in the streets that maybe Mr McCall shouldn't worry too much it's just the way things are. For me like I was a French president. And then they're there for a very end of August so I think you just French. Daisy. Daisy. We always expect the Guard are like someone super strong and then they expect. Systems are too high and then in a really short amount of time we're always disappointed. You know we're missing because we don't have it anymore when we have you we hate you and know we're missing so yes yes of course we have a tendency to hate our president funny funny left or right reforming or studying every president it seems ends up in the doghouse at least until he leaves office against her getting. Part of the problem perhaps is that as macro himself once said the French partly regret killing off their kings or that as others believe they are driven to repeat the experience with every leader who looks a little bit like one who the French have in the story Corish and she played the president which is quite strange since they made the revolution and they killed the king one woman who's felt France's love hate relationship with power 1st hand is the singer Khaled Bruni wife of the former French President Nicolas Sarkozy when someone is elected something happens in France and they still think is the king so what they do after he's been elected is that they tried to cut his head off. Problems began a new political. Damage you know the office of president of the Republic it probably didn't help that the man who invented the modern French presidency after World War 2 positioned himself above the daily grind of politics aloof Rigo the voice of France a lot of praise all. But then General shell the goal was almost 70 when he took office and widely seen as a war hero most politicians here aren't Emanuel McCall is 39 and a former banker butt. He's also styled himself as a similarly duper to re and kind of leader So how is he seen by the next generation of voters at the cold west of Paris teacher Caroline Prebble Kodo is leading a discussion about the role of the French president what does he do exactly he Fidelia. The verdict he does politics make speeches. And sometimes he calls England to ask for extra troops Lucy Williamson in Paris Jessica Fox wasn't the 1st person with a brick big dream to work at NASA but rather than fantasize about scientific breakthroughs or conquering new worlds all Jessica wanted was her own book shop in a remote often saw the part of Scotland it's a dream she achieved and as she told the B.B.C.'s James Robins now she's letting others come on vacation to the village. And do the exact same thing while I was working at NASA I kept on having a vision of working in a bookshop by the sea in Scotland I kept on coming back and either I watched too many romantic comedy is or the l.a. Heat was getting to me but I could see clearly that there is a long wooden counter and all the dusty books in there and I could even see the weather I knew it was in Scotland so I went over there on holiday and I liked it so much I ended up sort of giving up my life and coming back and staying in unfashionable town it's an easy place to fall in love with tears but 16 bookshops and 900 people right by the sea it's a very romantic place to come just tell me a bit about the ability to have a working holiday in a bookshop How does this work so it's called the open book and visitors from around the world can come and run their own bookshop for 2 weeks and there's a flat above where they can live you get full autonomy when you come in to run a bookshop so when you arrive you get a key and you are going to be a bookshop you can change up the shelves you can change the stark a lot of people take great pleasure in making the. Displays and you can set the opening hours as well if you want to work one hour a week you can but we find that people come over actually really passionate about but and bookshops they tend to do typical 9 to 5 day as they say there must be a risk that your bookshop would be shut quite a lot of the time we do you know we really encourage people actually to shut the book shop and get out within the area and see how beautiful Southwest cotland is people are very passionate about their books they like staying there they like interacting with the customers because they only have 2 weeks they really want to make the most of it what's the most extraordinary thing your temporary holiday managers have chosen to do we've had a couple in their mid eighties who just got married and did this as a honeymoon there were some of my favorites we had to cattle and friends who ended up doing a wine tasting there one evening and just recently we had a couple from America who are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary and during the weekend the festival they took part in with tents Got Talent and sang a song from World War One and they had the audience going wild so that was pretty much a highlight Jessica Fox speaking to my colleague James Robinson if you were thinking of taking her up and booking herself into her bookshop with Jessica's all booked up till September of 20 twentieth's we'll have to wait a little while before we go remind of our main news an investigation by the b.b.c.
