chip merlin, a trial attorney to defend spirit airlines. and a former prosecutor here to defend the college student. thank you for joining us. >> shannon: this is so terrible this story no matter what you fwhi the legal outcome. this hamster was certified by her doctor. not a joke, she called ahead of time and said she was told by spirit airlines it would be fine. when she got there you can't take it on. she tried to find friends and get home to florida for this emergency. so she says ultimately an employee told her to flush the hamster down the toilet. it was better than throwing it on the street and letting it be hit by a car. she was scared. i was scared. it was horrifying trying to put her in the toilet. i sat there for 10 minutes crying in the stall. chip, why is this okay for it to end this way? >> it's not okay for it to end this way. i think that's the reason why many animal activists and animal rights individuals are so upset the fact she would make the decision to have this particular animal life destroyed by her own hand. she did

she used to work for a charity called merlin. in liberia, back in 2004, she walked in on a senior manager with a local girl. after an investigation the man and other senior managers were dismissed. one of them was the man at the centre of the 0xfam scandal roland van hauwermeiren. amira malik miller was asked on the bbc‘s hardtalk programme if she was surprised that 0xfam tried to cover things up. it doesn't surprise me. it exposes a very strong weakness in the system and our hr practices, absolutely. i think roland van hauwermeiren is a particularly interesting case study. he has been able to manipulate the system for a very long time. he has chosen to move around from different countries. between organisations. he knows that it has not been tracked properly so he has manipulated that. still to come on the programme, we find out about the soaring rate of measles in europe. we will speak to the who about what is causing that. jeremy corbyn has accused papers of lies and smears. these papers allege thatjeremy corbyn did meet som

it was really a smart move for our parent company, merlin entertainment. >> so are you incorporated v.r. into other aspects of the park and is it going to be a v.r. experience, taking it to the next dimension? >> not yet. we don't have any announcements on the next virtual reality experience. we're going to monitor this one, see how it goes. we're seeing early excitement on this one. we're going to see how it goes. i wouldn't say we're not open to it, though. we're built for kids. we're going to follow their lead. if it's something they love, i'm sure we'll implement it more. >> are children building, using legos at legoland? >> of course. >> i've got to tell you. all the things we've been talking about, you have part of the solution to a lot of the issues we've been talking about regarding young people. you take them off their ipads, their iphones and computers and you make them use their skills. i think that's great. >> it really transcends the generations, lego does. it brings parents together. we say we're a park that's built to put smiles on the faces of children but at the same ti
