It was in 2010, after epstein had been released from prison, theres been a hostile reaction to labours plans from broadband that andrew visited him in new york, and stayed at his mansion. Providers and the Wider Business Community with questions being raised about how much it how does he explain that . Would actually cost. Our Business Editor simon jack reports on how it could work and how the problem was the fact that once he had been convicted. It could be paid for. You stayed with him. The uk has some of the slowest i stayed with him. Average broadband speeds in europe. And thats the bit that, that, it even trails madagascar, as it were, i kick myself for on a daily basis, making life difficult for the people because it was not something that was becoming of a member of the royal family, and we try and uphold the highest and businesses closer to home, in rocklands norfolk. Standards and practises, and i let the side down. We have trouble running simple as that. The business, sometimes the card machine, which is linked to the internet is a problem. I was in spain for 20 years and i lived in the most rural part of spain you can imagine. My Internet Speed was 100. But nothing about this story is simple. Jeffrey epstein cant i came here to rocklands answer questions and my Internet Speed was one. He took his own life in august. If you have families, everyone comes home from school, as for andrew, the us authorities will undoubtedly very much 00 05 02,110 2147483051 39 15,771 like to hear his account 2147483051 39 15,771 4294966103 13 29,430 of everything he witnessed. All the homeworks done online now, it makes it really tricky. Children are not able to do their homework, people are not able to work from home. The average household broadband bill is £30 a month. Labour would make it totally free, but not to the taxpayer, who labour estimate would pay £20 billion. The independent National Infrastructure commission estimates it would cost £34 billion. So why is it so expensive . At the moment, most of us get our broadband through a fibre optic cable that links to these old green cabinets where the existing slower Copper Network takes over to do that last mile into our homes and businesses. Replacing all of that with individualfibre into every property is something that only 8 of the country enjoys at the moment. Doing the other 92 is one heck of a job. 0penreach, bts broadband division, has 32,000 employees and sells its services to other operators like virgin media and talktalk. If bt broadband will be free, other Companies Wont be able to compete while taxing us companies to help pay for it risks putting them off britain. Clearly, everybody would like to have things for free, even if you classify broadband as a utility, you pay for all your other utilities because you have to have a return, so i think the cost of that provision will be huge and trying to levy that on taxes on other companies will not be popular, will not encourage investment in this country, it will just create investment uncertainty. Labour say they hope to come to an arrangement with bts competitors and if they cant, they might nationalise them too. Do you know anything about this bt share offer . Millions of people own shares in bt since the 1980s or through their pension funds. Labour Say Parliament will decide how much they get for them, meaning they may get less than market value. All parties agree that faster broadband is essential. Thats where the agreement ends. Simon jack, bbc news. Lets take a look at some of todays other election news. The liberal democrats say they would invest heavily in tackling Climate Change if theyre elected to power. They want to spend £100 billion over five years in areas such as clean energy and transport, and home insulation. And they reiterated their decision not to go into any kind of coalition in the event of a hung parliament. The green party has pledged to introduce a universal basic income by 2025 to replace the current universal credit system. It would see every adult receiving a minimum of £89 per week and they say it would be funded through taxation. More than 100 people have had to be rescued by Emergency Services as parts of the midlands were hit by more flooding and drivers were caught out by rapidly rising water. There are more than 100 flood warnings currently in place in parts of england and wales. 0ur Midlands Correspondent sian lloyd reports from evesham in worcestershire, where the river avon burst its banks. So would you like us to bring you out of the property, because of the water . You would like to be evacuated. Rescue boats have been launched throughout the day in evesham, as water levels on the avon continue to rise. Its been quite a protracted incident for us. Theres been a number of incidents across the county, and this is just one of many that our crews are dealing with currently. The river has reached its highest level since 2007, with only one road through evesham left open. This is one of the main routes through evesham, but half a mile is currently submerged beneath the floodwater. Its meant that many people havent been able to get through to their appointments at the Community Hospital today, and its had to restrict its services. The hereford and worcester fire and rescue service have helped more than 100 people in the past 2a hours, including trevor, who had become trapped inside his own home. I couldnt get out on my own, you know, i tried that earlier on and it was too deep for me to wade through, even with waders on. No such problem for this evesham resident. But with water levels still rising in some places, a number of communities are on stand by. All this water is working its way through, its taking a long time on the big rivers. Its likely its not going to peak at tewkesbury and upton until saturday, possibly sunday. This evening the work continued, as fire officers is pumped water from the cellar of a restaurant to keep the business open on what would be one of its busiest nights. Water levels are dropping in this town, but Emergency Services are preparing for a busy couple of days in communities where rivers are continuing to rise. Sian lloyd, bbc news, evesham. The former Us Ambassador to ukraine, who was fired by donald trump, has told an impeachment hearing in washington that she felt threatened and intimidated by the president. Marie yovanovich told the Congressional Committee that Donald Trumps personal lawyer had worked to discredit her, and she said his government had been manipulated by corrupt foreign interests. Mr trump is accused of pressurising ukraine to dig up damaging information about his democratic rivaljoe biden. The president denies any wrongdoing, but the impeachment process could eventually see him removed from office. 0ur north america editorjon sopel reports from washington. This was devastating and powerful testimony in what turned out to be a day of edge of your seat drama. The Us Ambassador to ukraine, marie jovanovic, thrust into the centre of a poisonous brew. She fell foul of a diplomatic back channel set up by Donald Trumps personal lawyer, rudy giuliani, and was fired without warning. The smears against her were all untrue but in thejuly 25 call between donald trump and his ukrainian counterpart, astonishingly the us president attacked her. The former ambassador from the united states, the woman, was bad news. Well, shes going to go through some things. So, what did she think when she learned of this a couple of months back . Iwas. Shocked and devastated that i would feature in a phone call between two heads of state in such a manner, where President Trump said i was bad and used to another world leader and that i would be going through some things. It was a terrible moment. Then, while she was giving evidence, and unbeknown to her, the president went on the attack again, tweeting that, things went bad wherever she served. She was made aware of this by the chairman of the committee. Well, its very intimidating. Designed to intimidate, is it not . I mean, i cant speak to what the president is trying to do but the effect is to be intimidated. Well, i want to let you know, ambassador, that some of us here take witness intimidation very, very seriously. Republicans, too, were uneasy, but donald trump denied that hed done anything wrong. Sir, do you believe your tweets or words can be intimidating . I dont think so at all. Go ahead. Impeachment is the mechanism by which a sitting president could be removed from office, the high crimes and misdemeanors. The first stage is a vote in the house of representatives, which has to be carried by a simple majority. If thats passed, then the articles of impeachment go to the upper chamber. And here, the president is put on trial, with the hundred senators acting as the jury. For donald trump to be removed from office, two thirds of senators would have to find him guilty. A threshold thats never been reached before. This has been an uncomfortable day for donald trump. Tweeting against Marie Yovanovitch while she was giving evidence wasnt a smart move, raising questions about whether he was trying to intimidate a witness. But theres no sign that republicans are peeling away from him. And the less they do, the impeachment process goes nowhere and he certainly wont be removed from office. Jon sopel, bbc news, washington. The families of some of the 100 and 57 People Killed when a boeing 737 max crashed in ethiopia last march have accused Ethiopian Airlines of denying them the chance to attend a service for their loved ones at the site of the disaster. Relatives say theyve been left hopeless, outraged, and exasperated after the airline only gave them 48 hours notice of the event. The crash site, which has now become a burial ground, has been the focal point of families concerns and recriminations recently, as Simon Browning reports. There should have been choirs singing. Dad deserved to have his children there and his wife and his brothers. Zipporahs dad Joseph Waithaka was killed when an Ethiopian Airlines plane crashed in march. Yesterday, the final unidentifiable remains of those who died were buried at the site. Its been really heartbreaking, thinking that, you know, theres a part of dad sitting somewhere in a crater, just exposed. Last month, during a visit to the site, relatives saw human remains. It put Ethiopian Airlines under pressure to bury those who died. Two days before the burial, they sent the families an email, saying were going to be burying your loved ones in the next, you know, sort of a8 hours. They were just buried like people who didnt belong to anyone or werent loved by anyone. This was the second boeing 737 max to crash within five months, after a Flight Control system failed. Nine britons were onboard. Ethiopian airlines has not responded as to why the relatives werent given more notice. To not be there was, i dont think words could ever describe that, and there were mothers in the whatsapp group, you know, talking about how broken they were that they couldnt see their children to the end of the journey.
