Welcome to reporters. Official corruption in India has been a

running sore in the country for some time. Another scandal has

emerged to tarnish its booming economy. This time the focus is on

its mining industry. Exports of iron ore have been stopped in the

state of Karnataka because of allegations that officials are

allowing the spread of illegal mining. Another government inquiry

into claims of more serious violations in Gower and the scale

of the wrongdoing becomes very apparent.

This is the view of goal were tourists never see. A landscape

scarred by a new type of gold rush. Almost all of the iron ore is going

to China. That has led to over mining, corruption and

environmental destruction. They are calling for the industry to be

close down. This is making China strong at the expense of the state.

The constant flow of trucks carrying iron ore from the mines

and leave a cloud of dust. There is no escape from it for the children

here. Their uniforms are paid for by the mining industry. The dust

causes them breathing problems. Teachers say that is something the

industry disputes. Next there on the road to China, the iron ore is

loaded on to barges. Mining companies are worried. An inquiry

will smother them off. Everyone has benefited from the iron ore bonanza,

making it one of the richer states in India. What we have today,

compared two other states is negligible poverty. You cannot

fight the illegality. The harder part is to say how do we address

the without destroying the economy. The next stage for the iron ore,

the Slow votes to China. Globalisation in action. Some in

India are reaping the benefits. With such needs for steel, they may

be sure love. All this iron ore heading to China has made some

people very rich -- short lived. Now there's a question of whether

it was taken out of the ground illegally. Some people are asking

whether it should have been taken out of India at all. The simple

answer is that India does not have the technology to use this kind of

iron ore. But China does. It allows it to sail ahead.

There are still around 30,000 US troops in Iraq but by the end of

Our soldiers are proud. That pride and optimism is not shared in the

While the world's attentions were focused elsewhere, the crowds here

were dispersed by force. Today you can see the places free from

torturing. This is the same as the previous regime. This is the

mentality of the security in the country. It has not changed. Since

2003, Iraqi society has been turned on its head. In the southern ser

cities, Shi'ites form their own power. Every week, they call for

the Americans to go and the withdrawal will be seen as his

victory. There has been a big rise in

violence by Jewish settlers against Palestinians in the West Bank. The

United Nations says the number of attacks but says Ms against

Palestinians, resulting in injury or property damage, has gone up

threefold in the last two years. These are on if farmers from the

Palestinian village of Awarta, clashing with Jewish settlers last

month. The Israeli army intervened. The Palestinians say they were

forced to leave their trees and the settlers said their fields on fire.

Nitzan Alon, the man who has just left his post as commander of the

Israeli army, says he is worried about the rise of Jewish violence.

Settler leaders say he is wrong. The commander is exaggerating and

making a mistake. For Palestinians, continued subtle or expansion,

illegal under international law, is unstoppable. They say a viable

state requires tens of thousands of sustenance to leave. That would not

out of poverty but Europe and America will not let that happen

until there is political reform. The textile industry employs half

them went into that kind of business. But that is not all of

cost has been great so when can sanctions be lifted? This is a rich

country that has been brought low by an appalling military regime.

Once the regime becomes more open and democratic wishes on the route

to do, then the sentence will be swept away and these distortions

and trading opportunities will disappear. Do you feel but that is

certain? Yes. There is clear evidence of movement. But it is not

clear how fast it is going or how far. The questions get harder as

the West tries to work out whether The rise of China's wealthy elite

has been well reported. But what may be was - mac was well known is

the fact that women make up 30% of the country's millionaires. However,

there is growing resentment over the widening gap between rich and

poor. So many of these female millionaires are seeking personal

protection and that has that to a growing demand for female

bodyguards. Out of uniform, they would not stand out in a crowd. But

these women are the changing face of China. Mixing brains with brawn,

they are all graduates who are training to be bodyguards. Wen Cui,

a successful would be neo-, founded the training camp. She came up with

the idea after being mugged twice on business trips. TRANSLATION:

That is putting the wealthy elite increasingly on guard. Desperate

times call for desperate measures. It used a phrase that has become

all too familiar during the troubled economic times we are

going through. The state capital of Pennsylvania, Harrisburg, has been

forced into bankruptcy after spending millions of dollars on

extravagant projects that have gone bust. Things are so bad they are

being forced to sell their historic heritage. Who would think it was

anything wrong? It does not look like a city in crisis. But

Harrisburg is in dire straits. In a warehouse on the edge of town 8,000

up for sale, a fully worth a lot of money any city desperately short of

cash. It would be interesting to see this museum operating. But how

economic situation prevents that development. That is putting it

mildly. Right next door is the source of harassed but was back

troubles. A waste incinerator burning a metaphorical hole in the

city's finances top of this is the reason Harrisburg filed for

bankruptcy. The debt payments on this incinerator last year alone

were $65 million. We cannot bring enough trashy it to pay the

interest. The rich red fruit of the incinerator was a disaster,

saddling the city with more than $300 million debt. It happened on

the watch of the previous mayor, Stephen Reed, a man with a fondness

for big projects like the Civil War Museum and several similar schemes.

We had one mayor for 28 years. He could do anything he wanted. He

believed in borrowing money. We have three times the per capita

debt of any other city in Pennsylvania. The result is an

acrimonious row over whether harassed Blue should declare

bankruptcy or be taken over by the state. With 30% of residents living

in poverty, the city does not need this. This city had lofty ambitions.

It thought nothing of running up huge debts. But even without the

economic downturn, Harrisburg was always good to file. It tries to do

with the wreckage but high - but finds itself in a humiliating

situation. There is a small occupy harassed boot camp. This draws

comparisons with the National saying - mac Harrisburg camp.
