0:00:14 > 0:00:16Hello, and welcome to Reporters.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19I'm David Eades and, from here in the world's newsroom,
0:00:19 > 0:00:21we send out correspondents to bring you the best stories
0:00:21 > 0:00:23from across the globe.
0:00:23 > 0:00:29In this week's programme...
0:00:29 > 0:00:31Kashmir on a knife edge.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34As the violence spirals out of control, Justin Rowlatt asks
0:00:34 > 0:00:38if there is any hope for peace in the troubled territory.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41The problem for India is that it's running out of options
0:00:41 > 0:00:43here in Kashmir.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46It's ruled out independence, it says it won't talk to hard-line
0:00:46 > 0:00:52separatists and has already devolved considerable powers to the region.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54We've got to go, come on.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Watching over Crimea.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Tom Burridge reports from the border as tensions between Russia
0:00:59 > 0:01:03and Ukraine over the territory spill onto the beach.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06The idea of Russian military action here,
0:01:06 > 0:01:11just across the water from Crimea, is, on paper at least, unlikely.
0:01:11 > 0:01:16The increase in tension and rhetoric from Moscow is probably part
0:01:16 > 0:01:26of a wider strategy.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30And Rio, the next generation.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32As the Games reach their climax, Chris Mitchell asks what will be
0:01:32 > 0:01:33Brazil's lasting Olympic legacy?
0:01:33 > 0:01:37This place is just a few hundred metres from the Olympic Park in Rio.
0:01:37 > 0:01:43And yet this is where you might find Olympic champions of the future.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46India marked the 65th anniversary of its independence
0:01:46 > 0:01:48from Britain this week.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50But the celebrations came as its troubled region of Kashmir
0:01:50 > 0:01:54has been consumed by some of its worst violence for years.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58Around 60 people have been killed, more than 5,000 injured
0:01:58 > 0:02:01in Indian-administered Kashmir this month, as the police are pitted
0:02:01 > 0:02:05against stonethrowing protesters who want independence
0:02:05 > 0:02:07for the region.
0:02:07 > 0:02:12Justin Rowlatt filed this report from the troubled region.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15Kashmir is at a standstill during the day.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18Every evening, the troops pull out.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Then, it's the protesters' turn.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25Tear gas and smoke can't protect the soldiers from the stones that
0:02:25 > 0:02:31come from all directions.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34We don't know where the stones are coming from.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37The problem for India is it is running out of options
0:02:37 > 0:02:39here in Kashmir.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42It's ruled out independence, it says it won't talk to hardline
0:02:42 > 0:02:47separatists and has already devolved considerable powers to the region.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49We've got to go, come on.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52So it has little option but to pour in more forces and hope
0:02:52 > 0:02:54the anger dies away.
0:02:54 > 0:03:01But it shows few signs of doing that.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03This spate of violence in this Muslim majority region,
0:03:03 > 0:03:07the worst in years, began more than a month ago when a young
0:03:07 > 0:03:11militant, Burhan Wani, was killed by security forces.
0:03:11 > 0:03:17Tens of thousands turned out for his funeral.
0:03:17 > 0:03:25This is the first time Burhan Wani's father has spoken on television.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27TRANSLATION: His death has triggered a revolution,
0:03:27 > 0:03:31to get freedom from India.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35India is determined that won't be the case and, last week,
0:03:35 > 0:03:40the Indian Prime Minister tried to calm Kashmir.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43The independence every Indian has, every Kashmiri
0:03:43 > 0:03:47has too, Mr Modi said.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50But there is a danger the Indian strategy will just entrench
0:03:50 > 0:03:53militancy and violence.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57In the hospitals, the sunglasses hide horrific eye injuries,
0:03:57 > 0:04:02the result of the shotguns used to control the crowds.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04And it isn't just shotguns.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08This is his blood?
0:04:08 > 0:04:11You say this is the bullet that killed your son?
0:04:11 > 0:04:12Yes.
0:04:12 > 0:04:17Today it is my son, tomorrow it will be somebody else's, he says.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20The police defend their tactics.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Our boys are not doing that.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24They wear firearms, and they're not using them.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26That is restraint, what else?
0:04:26 > 0:04:28There are claims that those weapons have been used on protesters,
0:04:28 > 0:04:30that protesters have been shot.
0:04:30 > 0:04:31Very rarely.
0:04:31 > 0:04:32But it has happened?
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Yes, very rare, but it has happened only in those
0:04:34 > 0:04:40cases where the troops, isolated troops, are almost lynched.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43But India's approach doesn't look restrained and Kashmir
0:04:43 > 0:04:48is not just a local issue.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51India and Pakistan, both nuclear powers, claim the region.
0:04:51 > 0:04:56Until a long-term solution can be found here, Kashmir will remain
0:04:56 > 0:05:00a potential flash point for a much wider and much
0:05:00 > 0:05:02more dangerous conflict.
0:05:02 > 0:05:12Justin Rowlatt, BBC News, Kashmir.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15The festering tensions between Ukraine and Russia took
0:05:15 > 0:05:18a sudden turn for the worse this week over Crimea.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20The two neighbouring nations have been in bitter dispute over
0:05:20 > 0:05:22the peninsula since Russia took control of it two years ago.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24It's fuelled a conflict between Russian-backed separatists
0:05:24 > 0:05:26and Ukrainian forces that has killed nearly 10,000 people.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30Now, Moscow has accused Kiev of armed attacks on Crimea.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Tom Burridge has travelled to the Ukrainian seaside
0:05:33 > 0:05:38border to investigate.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42This is how a summer holiday here starts or ends.
0:05:42 > 0:05:47This is not an international border for much of the world.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Everyone here is Ukrainian.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54Their homes, hotels or family on the other side in
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Russian controlled Crimea.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00After Russian claims of a Ukrainian inspired plot there,
0:06:00 > 0:06:04relations between the two countries have hit a new low.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Russia's security agency, the FSB, claims hidden explosives
0:06:07 > 0:06:11in its video here were intended for targets in Crimea.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15Ukraine says the whole story is a fake.
0:06:15 > 0:06:20This FSB video shows one of the accused, Yevgeny Panov.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22It's too official language, too official.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24The way that he talks?
0:06:24 > 0:06:25Yes.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28His brother believes that he is talking under
0:06:28 > 0:06:31duress and shows signs of torture in another FSB film
0:06:31 > 0:06:41in which he makes an apparent confession.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47His brother thinks he was abducted and says the idea that he was in
0:06:47 > 0:06:49a special forces team, sneaking into Crimea,
0:06:49 > 0:06:50is preposterous.
0:06:50 > 0:06:51Physically, he couldn't do it.
0:06:51 > 0:06:52He's overweight.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54He has a knee injury and hard breath.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56He is a victim of big political action.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00Truth or fake, Ukraine has put its military on high alert
0:07:00 > 0:07:04after Russia said it would respond.
0:07:04 > 0:07:11But in the Ukrainian region next to Crimea, few fret.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13The atmosphere here in southern Ukraine is relaxed.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Because the idea of Russian military action here, just across
0:07:16 > 0:07:21the water from Crimea, is, on paper at least, unlikely.
0:07:21 > 0:07:26The increase in tension and rhetoric from Moscow is probably part
0:07:26 > 0:07:31of a wider strategy.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Russia has moved surface-to-air missiles on to Crimea.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37The S-400 can shoot down a plane 400 kilometres away.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39At the end of last week, the Russian Navy held drills
0:07:40 > 0:07:41to deal with saboteurs in Crimea.
0:07:41 > 0:07:49And more Russian war games began today in the eastern Mediterranean.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53Crimea's administrative border disrupts Ukrainian lives.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57Ratcheting up the tension here destabilises the country.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59In the south of Ukraine, calm.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02But after Russia's annexation of Crimea more than two years ago,
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Ukraine, and its allies like Britain, have learned
0:08:05 > 0:08:08to expect the unexpected.
0:08:08 > 0:08:18Moscow's strategy is rarely crystal clear.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Before we go, let's not forget the Olympics.
0:08:29 > 0:08:30As if we could.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33The Rio Games reach their climax, of course, and for the past two
0:08:33 > 0:08:35weeks, all that focus on the competition and champions
0:08:35 > 0:08:37like Usain Bolt and Simone Biles.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39But what happens when they all go?
0:08:39 > 0:08:40Will these Rio Games have any long-term impact?
0:08:40 > 0:08:44Chris Mitchell has been to see a new project in the very shadows
0:08:44 > 0:08:46of the Olympic Stadium, which is hoping to develop Brazil's
0:08:46 > 0:08:55next generation of sports stars.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01This place is just a few hundred metres from the Olympic Park in Rio
0:09:01 > 0:09:06and yet this is where you might find Olympic champions of the future.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09That's because thousands of dollars have been invested
0:09:09 > 0:09:13here to provide sporting facilities for underprivileged locals
0:09:13 > 0:09:17in the hope that it might inspire them to become active.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19The Olympic villages are the heartbeat of their communities.
0:09:20 > 0:09:21This is where they come to play.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23They own this, the community owns this.
0:09:23 > 0:09:24It's a safe space for them.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27And, with the five-year commitment, what we're making very sure
0:09:27 > 0:09:30of is that we are working together with the city and the community
0:09:30 > 0:09:32to make it sustainable.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Ultimately, we want to help transform the community and impact
0:09:34 > 0:09:37the lives of these kids so that they grew up loving sport
0:09:37 > 0:09:40and being active kids.
0:09:40 > 0:09:41It really helps the community.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45We believe in that unlimited potential of the kids.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48And if you want to inspire a new generation, then why not get
0:09:48 > 0:09:52in an athletics superstar?
0:09:52 > 0:09:55I'm going to show you how to be a world record sprinter.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Carl Lewis won ten medals at the Olympics for the USA,
0:09:57 > 0:09:59nine of them gold.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Getting kids involved in sports young, you can teach
0:10:02 > 0:10:04all kinds of lessons, physical activity and
0:10:04 > 0:10:07engagement that you can't get a few start older.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11And, for me, it's personal because I have a youth programme,
0:10:11 > 0:10:14an athletic programme in the United States,
0:10:14 > 0:10:16and I started at eight years old in a youth programme
0:10:16 > 0:10:18that my parents started.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21So, this is really personal to me and I think it is wonderful.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24I'm just happy they can bring it into these neighbourhoods
0:10:24 > 0:10:26and utilise spaces like this which, in many cases, would not
0:10:26 > 0:10:27even be utilised.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30The fact that the money for this regeneration is coming
0:10:30 > 0:10:33from a sponsor and not the state tells its own story.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37Rio is putting on a good show for now but the real test will be
0:10:37 > 0:10:42whether it has the vision to make the Olympics pay for years to come.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44And that's all from Reporters for this week.
0:10:44 > 0:10:53So, from me, David Eades, bye for now.
