Might the Queen need to find a roommate?
The Queen's reserves have dropped from $58 million in 2001 to just $1.6 million today.
Becky spoke to Kate Williams, royal historian, about partying in parliament, the Queen's boiler packing up, and the possibility of Buckingham Palace turning into an Australian youth hostel.
Ukrainian Journalist: "The people are not satisfied"
As the Ukrainian government backs-down with the repeal of the anti-protest law and the resignation of the Prime Minister, CNN's Diana Magnay spoke to Mustafa Nayem, a journalist and activist, about why the opposition are still not happy.
Nayem said that this law is too late. During the 12 days of protest, he says, five protesters died, more than 30 were arrested, and it seems to him like the government have "hostages", because they are telling the protesters to clear the streets if they want those people to be freed.
The aims of the protesters seem to have developed and altered in the last few months. Nayem says that this doesn't reflect inconsistency, but rather a growing awareness of what the Ukrainian government is capable of.
"I'm a journalist so as journalist first of all I want to know who is responsible for shooting on my colleagues." Though he says that brutal force was used against people, no one from the militia has been held guilty. "A lot of my colleagues they were crippled, injured on these protests, and no one is responsible for this."
Because of this, he says that the situation has shifted. "It's not about that what was two months ago. Now we know on what they are capable. They have this law, and it doesn't mean that they will not adopt it again."
Schools offer counseling to Syrian kids
Run in a home on the Turkish-Syrian border, the Banyam Martyrs School offers education, and counseling, to more than 300 Syrian refugee children. All of these students have lost one or both parents in the ongoing war.
Reem Banoush, the school manager, fled Syria with her family after the war broke out. She explained to CNN why she set up the school. "My children have had a private education, but now they have regressed by two years. After I'd worked with them they had become better, so I decided to make this school; first for the same of my children, and secondly for the sake of the children of martyrs."
Many of the students carry traumatic memories from the war. One 12 year old boy talks about his father's death. "I heard someone screaming and people ran to help him and I went to help him too. And then the second rocket hit."
Over 2 million refugees have fled Syria so far. Of these, 1.1 million Syrian refugees are under 18, and UNICEF estimates that more than half a million of them are not in school.
Banoush's experience further highlights how important an education is to those who can get it. "We found the children were very receptive to our education and they loved the school and even sometimes during school breaks the children would say 'we do not want a break, we want to come'."
Gordon Brown: Syrian kids are forgotten victims
An ambitious 'timeshare' plan, launched by the UN, aims to enroll 400,000 Syrian refugees in school before the spring. With the support of UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and education campaigner Malala Yousafzai, the concept would see exiled Syrian children being taught in existing Lebanese schools for only $400 per person per year.
Becky spoke to Gordon Brown, UN Special Envoy for Global Education and former British Prime Minister, to find out more.
He said "100 years ago we established the principle that in a conflict the Red Cross would provide healthcare. Then Médecins Sans Frontières did even more in the 1970s and '80s when they introduced their service that kept health services going even in the worst and most intolerable conditions. Now we've got to establish the principle that even if you're in a difficult area, and there is no more difficult area than the Syrian peninsula at the moment, once you're in the area you can still provide some of these services, and we want to see education provided for as many children as possible, and then a root to jobs, and then a return to normality as quickly as possible."
While private individuals can contribute to funding the plan, Brown emphasized that it's important to get governments involved too. "Any pressure that ordinary citizens can put on this will make a difference."
Becky then asked what advice he had for the participants at the Geneva 2 peace talks. "To work harder to achieve a settlement. But at the same time to recognize that even if we achieved a settlement, which will be very difficult in the next few months, the humanitarian needs go on. These are the innocent victims, but often forgotten victims of a crisis. We know that more than half the refugees are children. We know that they have been pushed out of their homes already, but we know also that they're lacking the food and the shelter, as well as the education, and we really have to take humanitarian aid more seriously."
