:00:16. > :00:19.I'm David Eades, and from here at the BBC Newsroom,
:00:20. > :00:22.we send our correspondants to bring you the best stories
:00:23. > :00:28.In this week's programme, the other side of the American dream.
:00:29. > :00:31.As Donald Trump sets out his vision for the next four years,
:00:32. > :00:36.Ian Pannell assesses the challenges that lie ahead.
:00:37. > :00:38.If you want to know what poverty in America looks
:00:39. > :00:41.President Trump says he is going to fix it.
:00:42. > :00:44.He's going to deal with what he calls the carnage
:00:45. > :00:46.in America, of crime, of drugs, of gangs,
:00:47. > :00:54.Quentin Somerville tells the tale of the Syrian baby
:00:55. > :00:57.who lost her parents and had nearly every limb broken in
:00:58. > :01:06.And also her reunion with the British doctor who saved her.
:01:07. > :01:31.David Shukman reports on plans for two passengers to join the first
:01:32. > :01:33.manned flight to deep space for more than 40 years.
:01:34. > :01:36.It's going to give two rich people the thrill of a lifetime.
:01:37. > :01:38.Basically it's really an adventure thrill ride that
:01:39. > :01:41.President Trump used his first speech to Congress to declare
:01:42. > :01:44.what he called a new chapter of American greatness.
:01:45. > :01:46.In a surprisingly measured tone, he asked legislators to pass
:01:47. > :01:50.a $1 trillion package to build new infrastructure and he missed
:01:51. > :01:54.massive tax relief for the middle class.
:01:55. > :01:58.But what about his pledge at his inauguration to help the poor
:01:59. > :02:01.and repair what he called the carnage in America, crime,
:02:02. > :02:08.Well, Ian Pannell has been to Baltimore, where a quarter
:02:09. > :02:10.of the population lives in poverty, and many no longer see America
:02:11. > :02:18.A citizen of the wealthiest country in the world has ever known.
:02:19. > :02:25.They have no home of their own, and every morning, they come
:02:26. > :02:28.to the Manor House Charity, where the poor of Baltimore
:02:29. > :02:33.meet for a little food, warmth and compassion.
:02:34. > :02:35.What is your message to President Trump?
:02:36. > :02:41.Instead of critiquing is, come and help us.
:02:42. > :02:59.Baltimore was even more violent than Chicago last year,
:03:00. > :03:02.For some of its residents, this is a city where selling your
:03:03. > :03:05.body or selling drugs is the only job available.
:03:06. > :03:07.If you want to know what poverty in America looks like.
:03:08. > :03:10.Incredibly, this entire block is pretty much made up
:03:11. > :03:16.Incredibly, some people are living in between here.
:03:17. > :03:18.Under President Obama, poverty grew in America,
:03:19. > :03:21.and President Trump says he is going to fix it.
:03:22. > :03:24.He's going to deal with what he calls the carnage
:03:25. > :03:26.in America, of crime, of drugs, of violence
:03:27. > :03:41.And there are few places better to do that than Baltimore.
:03:42. > :03:44.And this is where it resides, on a bleak row of abandoned homes.
:03:45. > :03:47.This is the end of the line for Americans gripped by poverty.
:03:48. > :03:49.Here, we met the last family living on the block.
:03:50. > :03:52.Three generations of the Stewart family are crammed in here.
:03:53. > :03:56.Unpaid bills are piling up, not surprisingly they just have
:03:57. > :04:06.They've been evicted before, forced to live in one of Baltimore's
:04:07. > :04:11.It hurts, it hurts that they have to stay wrapped up in blankets
:04:12. > :04:16.They don't want to get out of bed because there's no
:04:17. > :04:21.They get bullied in school because of it.
:04:22. > :04:29.For so many people, this is no longer a land of opportunity.
:04:30. > :04:33.And the children who clamour for charity hand-outs
:04:34. > :04:38.It will be perhaps the biggest challenge for the new president.
:04:39. > :04:46.The Syrian conflict of course is full of terrible tales
:04:47. > :04:49.of horror and suffering, but one story stands out
:04:50. > :04:54.as a symbol of just how brutal and unfair war could be.
:04:55. > :04:59.In the New Year, five-year-old Maram lost both her parents and nearly
:05:00. > :05:03.every limb in her body was broken when her house was bombed in Aleppo.
:05:04. > :05:06.The British surgeon who operated on her watched her leave
:05:07. > :05:09.for asylum in Turkey, not knowing if she would survive.
:05:10. > :05:11.Well, seven months on, Doctor David Nott has returned
:05:12. > :05:18.As Quentin Somerville reports, this is a harrowing story
:05:19. > :05:27.So much of Aleppo's pain is anonymous.
:05:28. > :05:31.But Maram's suffering was unforgettable.
:05:32. > :05:39.An air strike killed her parents and left her gravely ill.
:05:40. > :05:46.Inside Syria, Doctor David Knott worked to save her leg.
:05:47. > :05:52.From here, and only five months old, she was evacuated
:05:53. > :06:00.But after months of searching, the BBC tracked her down
:06:01. > :06:52.The final surgery was nearly too much.
:06:53. > :06:59.Her wounds are healing, but there will be work
:07:00. > :07:03.to reconstruct her bones and repair damaged nerves.
:07:04. > :07:10.It's said children can't remember pain.
:07:11. > :07:13.Few though have as much to forget as Maram.
:07:14. > :07:16.When I saw Maram today, it was very emotional.
:07:17. > :07:21.As a doctor, you try and stay fairly unemotional when you're dealing
:07:22. > :07:27.I suppose having got children as well now,
:07:28. > :07:33.and how much you love that child, you know, a tiny piece of my heart
:07:34. > :07:44.That's what I have been thinking about everyday since leaving.
:07:45. > :08:06.How ready are we to fly to the moon and back for a holiday?
:08:07. > :08:09.Well, the prospect of space tourism has moved a little closer this week,
:08:10. > :08:12.after an American aerospace company SpaceX has said it has room for two
:08:13. > :08:16.This would be the first manned flight to deep space
:08:17. > :08:18.in more than 40 years, although it would involve
:08:19. > :08:21.-- would not involve a lunar landing.
:08:22. > :08:24.It's going to cost you $100 million a seat.
:08:25. > :08:27.Our science editor, David Shukman has been to find out more.
:08:28. > :08:31.Bold and often boastful, this young company knows how
:08:32. > :08:38.This is an animation, but already, two tourists have been promised
:08:39. > :08:43.seats on it to fly around the moon as early as next year.
:08:44. > :08:46.Not since the last Apollo mission, back in 1972, have any humans flown
:08:47. > :08:54.The tourists will not be landing on it, but if this trip happens then
:08:55. > :08:56.they will get amazing views, and space scientists
:08:57. > :09:06.We are really now entering the era where space
:09:07. > :09:11.Maybe not for another 10, 15, 20 years, for ordinary
:09:12. > :09:17.It will be the playground of the rich.
:09:18. > :09:23.When I met him he spilled out a startling vision
:09:24. > :09:28.I think we are really entering a new era of space travel
:09:29. > :09:32.There is a history of SpaceX promises running late
:09:33. > :09:39.Ten days ago, it landed a huge rocket, significant
:09:40. > :09:42.because reusing spacecraft will make launches cheaper.
:09:43. > :09:46.Last year, one of its rocket blew up, but SpaceX quickly got
:09:47. > :09:49.back to its key business of launching satellites.
:09:50. > :09:52.This week, its Dragon capsule delivered cargo
:09:53. > :09:57.A trip to the moon is obviously harder, and critics say it
:09:58. > :10:03.Well, it's going to give two rich people a thrill of a lifetime.
:10:04. > :10:08.It's not anything to do with science or exploration.
:10:09. > :10:11.It's repeating missions that have been done 40 plus years before,
:10:12. > :10:13.so it's basically an adventure, a thrill ride that
:10:14. > :10:26.Well, tourists visiting the International Space Station have
:10:27. > :10:35.We don't know who the two passengers are, but if they get there,
:10:36. > :10:38.they may pave the way for others to follow.
:10:39. > :10:45.That's your lot from Reporters this week.
