Welcome to Reporters. I'm Alice Baxter. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:19 | |
From here in the world's newsroom, | 0:00:20 | 0:00:21 | |
we send out the correspondents to bring you the best stories | 0:00:21 | 0:00:24 | |
from across the globe. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:26 | |
In this week's programme... | 0:00:26 | 0:00:29 | |
The coup that became a purge. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:31 | |
As Turkey declares a state of emergency, | 0:00:31 | 0:00:38 | |
Fergal Keane reports on | 0:00:38 | 0:00:39 | |
the country's return to democracy. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:41 | |
The question now, as President Erdogan | 0:00:41 | 0:00:42 | |
continues what he calls his | 0:00:42 | 0:00:44 | |
cleansing of the state, is how far he will go and what kind | 0:00:44 | 0:00:47 | |
of society he wants to create. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
And Asia's new food heaven as Singapore gets its own | 0:00:51 | 0:00:54 | |
Michelin restaurant guide, | 0:00:54 | 0:00:56 | |
we meet the chefs competing for its first stars. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
My mindset is fixed on wanting to be a chef opening a very big restaurant | 0:01:01 | 0:01:05 | |
and to inspire others, like Gordon Ramsay inspired me. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:08 | |
It was the coup that collapsed within just 14 hours. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:15 | |
It caused hundreds of deaths but did almost the exact | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |
opposite of what its | 0:01:18 | 0:01:19 | |
leaders had set out to achieve, strengthening the position | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
of the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan | 0:01:21 | 0:01:25 | |
and giving him a pretext for a clamp-down on his opponents. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:29 | |
Tens of thousands of people have been arrested and | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
Turkey, a Nato member and a pivotal nation in the fight | 0:01:31 | 0:01:35 | |
against Isis and in the Syrian war and in the migrant crisis, | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
is now under a three-month state of emergency. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
And as Fergal Keane reports, there are more | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
warnings of further measures to come. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
They had been told to expect a big announcement. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
Thousands crowded into squares across the country. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
As midnight approached, the president | 0:01:54 | 0:01:57 | |
came on television and declared a state of emergency. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
It could mean sweeping powers of arrest and | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
detention, press censure ship, curfews, or under an existing | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
article of the Constitution. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:10 | |
TRANSLATION: The purpose of the declaration of a state | 0:02:10 | 0:02:15 | |
of emergency is in fact to be able to take the | 0:02:15 | 0:02:20 | |
most efficient steps in order to remove | 0:02:20 | 0:02:25 | |
this threat as soon as | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
possible, which is a threat to democracy, | 0:02:28 | 0:02:30 | |
to the rule of law, and | 0:02:30 | 0:02:32 | |
to the rights and freedoms of our citizens in our country. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:37 | |
On the Bosporus, the boats conveyed the | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
President's of victory. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
On Taksim Square, and Ottoman band played | 0:02:43 | 0:02:47 | |
military marches. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:51 | |
Celebration to a warning rhythm. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:55 | |
We met a widow who sells flags on the square. | 0:02:55 | 0:03:00 | |
It was the coup that collapsed within just 14 hours. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:01 | |
We met a widow who sells flags on the square. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
She is among many who want to stop to see | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
the coup leaders hanged. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:18 | |
TRANSLATION: We want a beautiful Turkey. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
We don't want it to be like | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
Syria or Gaza. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:23 | |
We want peace in Turkey. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:24 | |
They will never be able to split us up. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
We will never allow it. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:27 | |
It is being framed as of defining national | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
moment, people's victory. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:36 | |
Epitomised by this extraordinary imagery. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:38 | |
A man confronting a tank on the night | 0:03:38 | 0:03:39 | |
of the coup attempt. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:40 | |
He is run over once. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:42 | |
He then gets up and is hit again. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:44 | |
Yet, he survives. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:48 | |
I had three stones in my hand in case I ran | 0:03:48 | 0:03:52 | |
across any of those dogs. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:54 | |
He says. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:55 | |
All I could do was respond to the tanks with the three stones I had. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:59 | |
The arrests and sacking of public servants continue today. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:02 | |
But there is no significant public outcry. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:05 | |
Nobody that I have spoken with across the political spectrum or in | 0:04:05 | 0:04:08 | |
civil society wanted this coup to succeed. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:11 | |
In Turkey, military coups have always meant disappearances, | 0:04:11 | 0:04:14 | |
torture, and executions. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:17 | |
But the question now, as President Gaughan | 0:04:17 | 0:04:20 | |
continues what he calls the cleansing of the state, is how far | 0:04:20 | 0:04:23 | |
he will go and what kind of society he wants to create. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:30 | |
The struggle now is not the old battle of secular | 0:04:30 | 0:04:33 | |
versus Islamist but between those who wanted military dictatorship and | 0:04:33 | 0:04:38 | |
a democratically elected president who that the layman it power. | 0:04:38 | 0:04:43 | |
The crowds were back, cheering the President, | 0:04:43 | 0:04:47 | |
knowing their country faces the most deep-rooted change in | 0:04:47 | 0:04:50 | |
its recent history. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:52 | |
At least 200 million girls and women worldwide have undergone | 0:05:00 | 0:05:02 | |
female genital mutilation. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:03 | |
It is a practice now described by the United Nations as child abuse. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:06 | |
Kenya is one of the countries where it's most prevalent. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:10 | |
One in five between the ages of 14 and 49 have been cut, | 0:05:10 | 0:05:14 | |
as it's known. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:17 | |
But the Kenyan authorities are now trying to eradicate the practice. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:21 | |
A warning - this report contains a graphic description of FGM. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:26 | |
Determined and brave. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:33 | |
Most of these girls ran away from home because they were about to | 0:05:33 | 0:05:36 | |
be mutilated or forced to marry. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:40 | |
In some tribes, the tradition where parts of a girl's vagina | 0:05:40 | 0:05:45 | |
are removed marks the point a girl becomes a woman. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:50 | |
It happened to this teenager when she was just seven years old. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:53 | |
And it was so difficult. | 0:05:53 | 0:06:01 | |
You feel like you want to faint. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:04 | |
You want to cry. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:08 | |
You want to do... | 0:06:08 | 0:06:10 | |
even running out that home. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:12 | |
Two years later, her father told her she must marry a man | 0:06:12 | 0:06:14 | |
in his 60s. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:17 | |
That's when she decided to escape. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:19 | |
All of these girls risked their lives by running away | 0:06:19 | 0:06:21 | |
but here they have a future, they are getting an education | 0:06:21 | 0:06:24 | |
and they are no longer at risk of being mutilated and crucially | 0:06:24 | 0:06:28 | |
these girls won't go on to harm their own daughters. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:33 | |
Agnes Pereyo who runs this rescue centre and school is trying to stamp | 0:06:33 | 0:06:37 | |
out the brutal custom in her ancient Maasai community. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:41 | |
She introduced me to women in a nearby village, | 0:06:41 | 0:06:46 | |
including a former cutter, who did a demonstration | 0:06:46 | 0:06:49 | |
of what she used to do. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:52 | |
So, this is the vagina here? | 0:06:52 | 0:06:55 | |
So you scrape the side of the vagina, | 0:06:55 | 0:06:57 | |
and take off the clitoris here? | 0:06:57 | 0:07:00 | |
It emerged the cutting used to happen right where we stood. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:03 | |
It is difficult to imagine how terrifying this | 0:07:03 | 0:07:08 | |
experience would be for a little girl. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:12 | |
Gosh. And she is screaming, I guess? | 0:07:12 | 0:07:14 | |
Yes, the girl is screaming. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:16 | |
Kenya banned female genital mutilation in 2011. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:18 | |
The UN's agency for children says young girls | 0:07:18 | 0:07:21 | |
are far less likely to be cut today but old customs die hard. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:24 | |
TRANSLATION: This is a tradition that is very important to us, | 0:07:24 | 0:07:30 | |
the Maasai people. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:34 | |
Otherwise, the girls will want sex all the time. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:38 | |
We are not allowed to do it any more. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:40 | |
Otherwise, I would cut my seven-year-old daughter | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
until she bleeds a lot. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:44 | |
In these deeply traditional patriarchal communities, away | 0:07:44 | 0:07:49 | |
from the big cosmopolitan cities, | 0:07:49 | 0:07:52 | |
many men still demand that women are cut. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:55 | |
But attitudes are changing and these Maasai tribe cricketers | 0:07:55 | 0:07:58 | |
are helping to lead the charge, | 0:07:58 | 0:08:01 | |
refusing to marry any girl who has been cut. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:06 | |
We use it as a way to bring our youth together, to bring | 0:08:06 | 0:08:10 | |
the communities together, to tell them that female genital | 0:08:10 | 0:08:13 | |
mutilation is not all right. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:17 | |
In the long run, I believe it will help our society. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:20 | |
Definitely it will happen in my lifetime, I know. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:23 | |
Now, you may not know this but Singapore has long been | 0:08:23 | 0:08:25 | |
a foodie's paradise, and this week, for the first time, | 0:08:25 | 0:08:31 | |
the citystate got its own Michelin guide to its best restaurants. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:37 | |
In the past, its hospitality industry has been run mainly | 0:08:37 | 0:08:41 | |
by foreign workers but no longer. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:43 | |
New moves to hire local staff have spawned a new breed | 0:08:43 | 0:08:47 | |
of Singaporean chefs. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:51 | |
Joel Chow is only 18 but he knows what he wants to be when he is older | 0:08:56 | 0:09:00 | |
and whom he wants to be like. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:02 | |
My mindset is fixed on wanting to be a chef, opening a very big | 0:09:02 | 0:09:05 | |
restaurant and to inspire others like Gordon Ramsey has inspired me. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:09 | |
He is one of the famous people who I look up to. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:12 | |
So enthusiastic is he about a career as a chef, he enrolled | 0:09:12 | 0:09:15 | |
at the Singaporean Culinary School. | 0:09:15 | 0:09:18 | |
I will be sauteing onions now. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:21 | |
And that'll be the start of your carrot soup? | 0:09:21 | 0:09:25 | |
Fantastic. | 0:09:25 | 0:09:27 | |
Joel and his classmates don't just have dreams to be celebrities chefs, | 0:09:27 | 0:09:31 | |
they are also here to fulfil a crucial need in Singapore | 0:09:31 | 0:09:34 | |
which has a shortage of chefs as well as service staff to cater to | 0:09:34 | 0:09:40 | |
the burgeoning hospitality industry. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:43 | |
Singapore has become something of a culinary capital. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:48 | |
Alongside its vibrant street food culture, | 0:09:48 | 0:09:52 | |
top international restaurants have opened here in recent years | 0:09:52 | 0:09:54 | |
with a Michelin guide rating the finest | 0:09:54 | 0:09:57 | |
dining spots making its debut. | 0:09:57 | 0:10:01 | |
But a cut in the number of foreign workers that restaurants | 0:10:01 | 0:10:03 | |
and hotels could hire and expensive levies | 0:10:03 | 0:10:06 | |
to employ them has made the problem especially acute. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:10 | |
So, the government has introduced training programmes to raise | 0:10:10 | 0:10:13 | |
productivity and get more locals to sign up to become | 0:10:13 | 0:10:16 | |
chefs and service staff. | 0:10:16 | 0:10:18 | |
The nationa has the highest proportion of foreign | 0:10:18 | 0:10:21 | |
workers in its population and amoung its workforce in the world, | 0:10:21 | 0:10:25 | |
and weaning itself off this to recruit home-grown talent | 0:10:25 | 0:10:28 | |
will continue to be a big challenge. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:31 | |
That all looks delicious, doesn't it? | 0:10:31 | 0:10:34 | |
That's all from Reporters for this week | 0:10:34 | 0:10:37 | |
from me, Alice Baxter. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:39 | |
Goodbye for now. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:40 |
