:00:00. > :00:20.Dawn-Marie will be back in an hour. Coming up next, Reporters.
:00:21. > :00:27.Welcome to Reporters. From here we send out correspondence to bring you
:00:28. > :00:36.the best stories from across the globe. In this week's programme: The
:00:37. > :00:40.street to street battle for Mosul. Quentin Somerville joins Iraq's
:00:41. > :00:44.counterterrorist forces as they face stiff resistance from so-called
:00:45. > :00:48.Islamic State militants. Islamic State are 200 metres in that
:00:49. > :00:52.direction. Look over here, you can see children running and playing.
:00:53. > :00:59.This war is happening on peoples doorsteps. Hale Trump, hail our
:01:00. > :01:05.people, held victory. The American far right new awakening. We meet
:01:06. > :01:10.members of the alt-right, the white Nationalist Movement Party staring
:01:11. > :01:15.up race relations in the US. And Katie Watson goes on patrol with
:01:16. > :01:20.Mexico's all women traffic cops, but are women better at fighting the
:01:21. > :01:23.country's endemic corruption? TRANSLATION: Some drivers are
:01:24. > :01:26.aggressive. They feel uncomfortable with a woman doing it. They used to
:01:27. > :01:34.be the powerful one. Iraqi forces say they are being
:01:35. > :01:38.slowed down and their advanced against so-called Islamic State in
:01:39. > :01:43.the city of Mosul. They are facing stiff resistance from IS who are
:01:44. > :01:47.fighting back with sniper fire and suicide bombings. The Iraqis are
:01:48. > :01:51.also worried about causing civilian casualties, particularly in the east
:01:52. > :01:58.of Mosul where street to street battles raging. Quentin Somerville
:01:59. > :02:00.has been travelling with Iraqi counterterrorism forces. Their
:02:01. > :02:06.report contains some distressing images.
:02:07. > :02:11.In a battle for a city this big progress is not always easy to map.
:02:12. > :02:16.After five weeks of fighting, much of Mosul has still to be retaken.
:02:17. > :02:33.Below, the war plays out. In the streets, life or death is
:02:34. > :02:41.decided in the blink of an eye. Just metres away, the so-called Islamic
:02:42. > :02:45.State. In no man's land, a dead body. Iraqi special forces say he
:02:46. > :02:50.was an IS fighter, one of a dozen they have shot dead this week.
:02:51. > :02:56.TRANSLATION: Yes, many civilians have been attacked by IS fighters,
:02:57. > :03:00.but they also view them as human shields. It is very difficult for
:03:01. > :03:03.us. Sometimes they come forward carrying babies, using them as
:03:04. > :03:12.cover. Near by a car bomb detonates.
:03:13. > :03:24.The only safe way past this front is through walls, holes, and backyards.
:03:25. > :03:30.We are right at the very edge here. Islamic State are 200 metres in that
:03:31. > :03:32.direction. Look over here, you can see children running, children
:03:33. > :03:39.playing, people are living 20 metres away from here. Yesterday there was
:03:40. > :03:41.a car bomb. No military were injured, just civilians. This war is
:03:42. > :03:50.happening on peoples doorsteps. At house after house, white flags
:03:51. > :03:56.are raised. Where else could these children and their families go. An
:03:57. > :04:04.exodus would cause a humanitarian disaster for Iraq. They watch on in
:04:05. > :04:12.disbelief. This man's son has just been shot in the chest. And I
:04:13. > :04:18.sniper's bullet, say his brothers, they had left the house only a few
:04:19. > :04:26.moments ago to sell eggs. -- a IS sniper's bullet. He has gone? The
:04:27. > :04:32.appalling truth is that his death is one of hundreds here every week.
:04:33. > :04:37.This is the horror of this situation. We cannot even take the
:04:38. > :04:42.boy's body down the street because they are worried the sniper is still
:04:43. > :04:46.down there. You can hear the gunfire, you can hear the
:04:47. > :04:49.heartbroken family in there. Many people are still trapped in the
:04:50. > :04:58.city. Fighting is going on all around them.
:04:59. > :05:11.And this is the moment his brothers realise he's gone.
:05:12. > :05:14.And while people remain here, much more will have to be endured.
:05:15. > :05:16.The fight for Mosul has only just begun.
:05:17. > :05:22.Quentin Sommerville, BBC News, Mosul.
:05:23. > :05:26.Donald Trump's election has many people concerned about race
:05:27. > :05:32.One group that has been associated with his campaign is a white
:05:33. > :05:35.nationalist movement, known as the Alt Right,
:05:36. > :05:37.and last weekend they met in Washington to talk
:05:38. > :05:39.about what they see as their new awakening.
:05:40. > :05:42.Hundreds gathered outside that meeting to protest against a group
:05:43. > :05:54.This protest outside this building, very close to the White House
:05:55. > :05:57.is because of an Alt Right conference that's going on inside.
:05:58. > :06:05.We've already seen it get very heated indeed.
:06:06. > :06:07.Particularly when one of the people attending the conference went
:06:08. > :06:12.They started calling us Nazis, which is incorrect, because I'm not
:06:13. > :06:23.a racist, I'm a very tolerant person.
:06:24. > :06:25.Hail Trump, hail our people, hail victory.
:06:26. > :06:27.Filmed by the Atlantic, this was what was going
:06:28. > :06:34.To be white is to be a striver, a crusader, an explorer
:06:35. > :06:39.We build, we produce, we go upward.
:06:40. > :06:41.Earlier in the day we were allowed in, too.
:06:42. > :06:46.But with outsiders watching, the tone was different.
:06:47. > :06:48.I do think that we have, you could say, a psychic connection,
:06:49. > :06:50.or a deeper connection with Donald Trump.
:06:51. > :06:53.It was clear that while Donald Trump says he denounces racism,
:06:54. > :06:56.far right leaders here feel their ideas helped shape him
:06:57. > :07:08.as a candidate and will guide him as president.
:07:09. > :07:10.Many in the room told me of their excitement
:07:11. > :07:14.This is the first time in a very long time I've been interested
:07:15. > :07:17.Because someone was talking your language?
:07:18. > :07:25.Someone was touching on something very real.
:07:26. > :07:27.Can you understand why Muslim Americans, for example,
:07:28. > :07:29.why African Americans might be concerned, might be worried?
:07:30. > :07:32.Can they understand why we might be concerned?
:07:33. > :07:34.That we are being replaced and being forced to become
:07:35. > :07:39.I've spent a lifetime fighting for these causes,
:07:40. > :07:44.I've always felt that a harmogenous state is a happy state.
:07:45. > :07:47.Just imagine by accident of birth that you'd been born
:07:48. > :07:51.If I were African-American I hope I'd feel the way I feel now,
:07:52. > :07:54.that I would dedicate myself to improving my people and living
:07:55. > :07:57.with my people and I would have no trouble with white people who wanted
:07:58. > :08:02.And whether he likes it or not people with these views feel
:08:03. > :08:06.America was, until this past generation, a white country,
:08:07. > :08:14.designed for ourselves and our posterity.
:08:15. > :08:27.Aleem Maqbool, BBC News, Washington.
:08:28. > :08:29.Corruption is a massive problem in Mexico.
:08:30. > :08:31.It costs the country billions of dollars every year,
:08:32. > :08:34.and the problem is most acute in Mexico State.
:08:35. > :08:36.Their solution is a police force with fewer men.
:08:37. > :08:37.Katie Watson reports on the all-female traffic
:08:38. > :08:39.cop team that's helping to combat corruption.
:08:40. > :08:42.Together with 400 other women, these two are part
:08:43. > :08:49.Five years ago, authorities got rid of all the men in the department
:08:50. > :08:51.and decided only women should do the job because they are more
:08:52. > :08:59.trustworthy, but it's not without its challenges.
:09:00. > :09:01.TRANSLATION: Some drivers are aggressive and feel
:09:02. > :09:04.uncomfortable with a woman giving them a fine, they are used
:09:05. > :09:07.to being the strong and powerful one in control, but these are life
:09:08. > :09:10.experiences that taught us to change attitudes and be emotionally strong,
:09:11. > :09:19.First offender identified, Rosa is in charge of doling out
:09:20. > :09:23.the fine for this taxi driver not wearing his seatbelt.
:09:24. > :09:30.It may not be his day, but he doesn't seem too grumpy.
:09:31. > :09:32.TRANSLATION: Things have improved, because man-to-man, it's easier
:09:33. > :09:38.The treatment you get from women is different.
:09:39. > :09:44.For every 100 complaints they used to get about corruption,
:09:45. > :09:50.TRANSLATION: A study shows woman
:09:51. > :09:52.is more responsible and knows the repucussions
:09:53. > :09:57.We have given the women ethics training to prepare them,
:09:58. > :10:02.so they don't fall in a trap that could cost them their job.
:10:03. > :10:05.Women's roles as carers and mothers have traditionally held many back
:10:06. > :10:07.from working in the public sphere, but it's these very traits
:10:08. > :10:12.being used as a reason why they are better in some jobs.
:10:13. > :10:16.The reason being they are socially more responsible.
:10:17. > :10:25.In the long-term as women take spaces in the public space,
:10:26. > :10:27.if we don't address the structural issues causing corruption,
:10:28. > :10:30.I don't think women in general, in the long term will be as less
:10:31. > :10:34.Back on patrol a very different situation.
:10:35. > :10:42.There's no doubt that mother of two Rosa is using what she calls her
:10:43. > :10:44.caring side, but whether that makes women inherently less
:10:45. > :10:53.Katie Watson, BBC News, Mexico State.
:10:54. > :10:55.That is all from Reporters for this week.
