From here in the BBC newsroom, we send out correspondents to bring

:00:17.:00:22.

you the best stories from across the globe.

:00:23.:00:24.

Life and death on the lost streets of Chicago.

:00:25.:00:32.

It's like you can't make no mistakes.

:00:33.:00:34.

It could cost you your life, literally.

:00:35.:00:39.

Ian Pannell reports from Barack Obama's former home town,

:00:40.:00:42.

where gun attacks have hit a 20 year high.

:00:43.:00:50.

In reality, most gun crime in America actually

:00:51.:00:52.

does not really happen in the the massacres that garner

:00:53.:00:54.

large-scale media attention, but they take place in isolated

:00:55.:00:56.

spots like this in inner-city America.

:00:57.:00:58.

And moving ice from the art Alps to Antarctica, scientists racing

:00:59.:01:07.

against the clock to save samples from the world's sinking glaciers.

:01:08.:01:15.

The team will cut it and put it into this tent and then store it in their

:01:16.:01:17.

ice cave, their mountain freezer. Hello, we start with evidence

:01:18.:01:26.

of a startling rise in levels of gun violence in parts

:01:27.:01:29.

of the United States. That includes President Obama's

:01:30.:01:31.

political home of Chicago. Killings in the city

:01:32.:01:33.

have hit a 20-year high. A deadly summer of violence,

:01:34.:01:35.

ending with multiple murders over last week's Labor Day holiday,

:01:36.:01:38.

has brought this year's death toll Most of the victims and indeed

:01:39.:01:40.

the killers are young black men. Ian Pannell and cameraman

where I was raised. CTC Duwop is a rapper,

a promoter and a gang member. He is also a father

and an Iraq war veteran. When I'm passing through certain

:02:37.:02:39.

neighbourhoods, if there is already a heightened alert of violence

:02:40.:02:41.

in that neighbourhood, tension, you got to hurry up and get

:02:42.:02:44.

from point A to point B. You can't just be cruising

:02:45.:02:48.

through neighbourhoods that Nine times out of ten,

:02:49.:02:54.

they probably do not recognise the car you are in at the time

:02:55.:02:57.

and they can mistake you as a shooter from one

:02:58.:03:02.

of their rival gangs It could cost you your

:03:03.:03:05.

life, literally. Many in the gang are

:03:06.:03:12.

still at high school. Strict gun laws have made

:03:13.:03:14.

no difference here. The last day without a shooting

:03:15.:03:31.

or murder was February 2015. The sad fact is that for some,

:03:32.:03:39.

a life of drugs and violence has now The real tragedy about

:03:40.:03:42.

Chicago is just how common In reality, most gun

but they take place in isolated spots like this in inner-city

America. And more often than not,

:04:00.:04:01.

the victims are young, black and their cases

:04:02.:04:03.

are largely ignored. The violence swirls around west

:04:04.:04:07.

and southside Chicago. A few weeks ago, six-year-old

:04:08.:04:10.

Takara Morgan was wounded Some say they're forced into a life

:04:11.:04:12.

of violence, but even those who don't walk that path,

:04:13.:04:20.

like Takara, are still affected. How common is it,

:04:21.:04:25.

the shooting around here? I tell you the truth,

:04:26.:04:27.

I am really scared for my kids. Childhood ends early

on the southside. A party on Duwop's block

the way that we live. But when you're pushed into a way

of life, when you're forced into a way of life,

:04:59.:05:01.

how else can you live? Even though we love the 'hood,

:05:02.:05:07.

outside looking in, it looks We want to be out

:05:08.:05:11.

of the 'hood, though. That is why we work so hard

:05:12.:05:16.

at showing our potential. Because we want to leave

:05:17.:05:19.

this place, for good. Duwop's family home is now

:05:20.:05:22.

abandoned, a place to record a music video, and a place where drug

:05:23.:05:26.

addicts go to get high. Here in my neighbourhood,

:05:27.:05:29.

they start young, man. When you read the news headlines,

:05:30.:05:36.

that is the age frame, they are all We got to teach the kids how

:05:37.:05:39.

to defend themselves. It is senseless violence at the end

:05:40.:05:49.

of the day, but it's like, what do you do when you are caught

:05:50.:05:52.

in that moment? Would you rather be caught

:05:53.:05:55.

with protection or without? We had a lot of guns,

:05:56.:05:57.

but I have never seen Bo Deal is a rapper

from the westside, now the most He is a member of

:06:02.:06:07.

the Vice Lords gang. He has been in prison and even

:06:08.:06:11.

he is shocked by what is happening. It is like somebody dropped off

:06:12.:06:16.

crates of guns in everybody's hood. I think that lots of guys need

:06:17.:06:19.

to die in order to make it better. I think some of these BLEEP need

:06:20.:06:30.

to be killed and knocked off, to get them out of the way,

:06:31.:06:33.

to make it a better place. More people have been killed here

:06:34.:06:44.

since 2001 then US deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan combined. And yet

:06:45.:06:47.

there is almost no outcry. To be honest, I have got a son

:06:48.:06:50.

that is seven and a daughter I have not taught neither one

:06:51.:06:56.

of them how to ride a bike yet. Because the environment

:06:57.:07:00.

they live in is not safe. It's hard when you don't

:07:01.:07:03.

really have help. We are put in a weird position,

:07:04.:07:19.

you know what I'm saying? This is a never-ending cycle,

:07:20.:07:35.

there is no way out We are just trying to cope

:07:36.:07:43.

with this BLEEP. With so many guns and so little

scientists working in the French Alps. They are trying to extract

:08:24.:08:27.

samples from some of the world's most rapidly shrinking glaciers.

:08:28.:08:34.

Scientists hope that the samples could provide unique clues to help

laboratory. This team of scientists is living and working on the glacier

:08:48.:08:52.

here because climate change is heating and changing the ice that

:08:53.:08:56.

they are camped on. So the team wants to rescue the information

:08:57.:09:01.

locked deep in the ice before it disappears. Snowfalls will collect

:09:02.:09:06.

all the impurities in the atmosphere and this will be stored in the

:09:07.:09:17.

glacier, like pages in a book. When you go through this book, you can

:09:18.:09:23.

read all this information. This is a frozen library, tiny air bubbles

:09:24.:09:27.

locked inside this glacial ice, a record of our past climate. The team

:09:28.:09:35.

will cut that and move it into this tent and then store it in an ice

:09:36.:09:38.

cave, which is their mountain freezer. A bit slippery! So precious

:09:39.:09:45.

are these samples that the team has dug into the solid ice to build a

:09:46.:09:49.

store room that will keep them cold. But they won't be here long. Six

:09:50.:10:01.

cores a box. And then they are ready to go? This is the beginning of a

:10:02.:10:05.

very long journey for these ice cores. They will be stored here in

:10:06.:10:11.

France for two years but there are ultimate destination is the world's

:10:12.:10:14.

most reliable freezer, Antarctica. The idea of getting ice transported

:10:15.:10:18.

to Antarctica could sound very silly to people but it makes a lot of

:10:19.:10:24.

sense for us. Our aim is to be able to store these ice cores for decades

:10:25.:10:28.

to centuries. You put them there and they are in the safest position you

:10:29.:10:35.

can think about. Many glaciers here and all over the world are changing

:10:36.:10:38.

and retreating. This ambitious project aims to preserve bubbles and

:10:39.:10:47.

bacteria trapped in the ice, allowing scientists to track our

:10:48.:10:54.

planet's atmosphere and its future. That is all from Reporters for this

:10:55.:10:58.

week, so from me, goodbye for now. Hello there. For the bulk of the UK

:10:59.:11:11.

has been dry, pretty sunny, not a bad end to the weekend. However, we

:11:12.:11:13.

have got trouble
