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 | :01:41. | :01:47. | |
Darren Conway spent a week in Chicago and found a world | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
where gangs and guns rule. DISPATCHER: A 15-year-old | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
male shot in the neck. I'm going to need a wagon | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
with a body bag also. It is one of America's | :01:59. | :02:06. | |
dirty secrets. Welcome to the Chicago | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
they do not want you to see. In a city where some live in peace | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
and prosperity, others # It was crazy growing up | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
where I was raised. CTC Duwop is a rapper, | :02:17. | :02:24. | |
a promoter and a gang member. He is also a father | :02:25. | :02:36. | |
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 | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
crime in America actually does not really happen | :03:47. | :03:55. | |
in the massacres that garner large-scale media attention, | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
but they take place in isolated spots like this in inner-city | :03:58. | :03:59. | |
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 | :04:28. | :04:38. | |
on the southside. A party on Duwop's block | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
commemorates his best friend The residents meet to remember | :04:41. | :04:42. | |
and also to forget. The police authority don't | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
like exactly what we do We actually don't like | :04:50. | :04:51. | |
the way that we live. But when you're pushed into a way | :04:52. | :04:58. | |
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 | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
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 | :07:44. | :07:50. | |
control, the murders will rise, It is a race against time for | :07:51. | :08:23. | |
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 | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
fight lowball warming. Victoria Gill travelled to the French Alps to join | :08:39. | :08:40. | |
them. Approaching a very high altitude | :08:41. | :08:47. | |
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 | :11:14. | :11:15. |
