:00:51. > :01:01.Welcome to Reporters. It is hard to think about Haiti without
:01:01. > :01:05.remembering the earthquake. 1.5 million people were left homeless.
:01:05. > :01:11.Progress towards rebuilding has been slow. 500,000 people are still
:01:11. > :01:21.living in camps. There are few signs of reconstruction. We have a
:01:21. > :01:29.
:01:29. > :01:39.In just 35 seconds the earthquake destroyed lives, homes and the
:01:39. > :01:41.
:01:41. > :01:51.heart of Haiti's government. That night this man lost one daughter
:01:51. > :01:53.
:01:53. > :01:59.and feared he would lose a second. She is fighting. But there is no
:01:59. > :02:03.help. As you can see her body was crushed under the rubble. This is
:02:03. > :02:11.the spot where she almost died. Very little has changed. She has
:02:12. > :02:18.made a spectacular recovery. She is doing well. Life is not as great.
:02:18. > :02:28.There are no jobs. We are fighting just so they can go on going to
:02:28. > :02:31.school. She is fighting. Daily life is a struggle for millions. Half of
:02:31. > :02:38.the rubble from the earthquake has been removed. But 500,000 people
:02:38. > :02:48.are still living in tents. The President has promised his

:02:55. > :03:04.supporters change. We have made massive steps. What do you say to
:03:04. > :03:09.those people who still do not have homes, jobs and feel frustrated?
:03:09. > :03:16.Haiti has a big wound. It is deep. You cannot solve everything in a
:03:16. > :03:24.day. You can only plant the tree. You need to wait to enjoy the
:03:24. > :03:32.shadow. You need to let it grow. Changing a country is not going to
:03:32. > :03:35.be easy. This park was a sea of tents immediately after the
:03:36. > :03:41.earthquake. People who lost their homes settled here. Those families
:03:41. > :03:48.have moved out. Normal life is returning. It is a small sign of
:03:48. > :03:55.progress. This woman has been given a grant to move out into this tiny
:03:56. > :04:01.apartment. She shares it with her five children. It is better than
:04:01. > :04:05.living in a tent, she says, but how will I pay the rent next year? As
:04:05. > :04:11.the city prepares to mourn its dead, the ruins of the National Cathedral

:04:22. > :04:27.As the Republican Party decide who to put up against President Obama
:04:27. > :04:32.in the presidential election, one thing is in no doubt. The economy
:04:32. > :04:37.is the central issue. For millions of ordinary people the American
:04:37. > :04:41.dream of doing better than your parents has taken a battering. The
:04:41. > :04:47.signs of recovery are fragile and millions of Americans are still out
:04:47. > :04:54.of work. We travel to the manufacturing heartland of Ohio to
:04:54. > :04:58.see how residents are coping. The rebirth of the American motor
:04:58. > :05:03.industry. It was on its knees with incalculable cost to the economy
:05:03. > :05:11.and the American psyche. Here at the Chrysler plant they were among
:05:11. > :05:18.the rescued. They were saved by the $60 billion in bailout. We have a
:05:18. > :05:25.new lease on life. We do what ever it takes to keep this plant open.
:05:25. > :05:31.The cost of living went away for a while. You are actually getting
:05:31. > :05:38.less? Yes. Because of the economy. People are willing to do work for
:05:38. > :05:42.less. We know that the unemployment rate is through the roof. We are
:05:42. > :05:47.thankful to have a job. Beyond the car plants the old vision of
:05:47. > :05:50.America as a haven of social mobility has been shaken. In Ohio
:05:50. > :05:57.and beyond, whole swathes of the American workforce have been
:05:57. > :06:07.hurting. The question in this election year is when and if that
:06:07. > :06:08.
:06:08. > :06:14.pain will stop. Here times have rarely been tougher. A large amount
:06:14. > :06:21.of the population has left. It has reckoned an extra 25,000 families
:06:21. > :06:31.have been blighted by unemployment. Agents for the sheriff's office say
:06:31. > :06:31.
:06:31. > :06:38.the value of property has been plummeting. More than one million
:06:38. > :06:47.are repossessed every year. From the tumble down to the mansion, all
:06:47. > :06:57.are vulnerable. This house was worth over $1 million. Now it is
:06:57. > :06:59.
:06:59. > :07:08.only half that. I know that because I am in the real estate business.
:07:08. > :07:13.Even golf courses are struggling. Golf is an expensive sport. Obama
:07:13. > :07:17.wants to slow down the foreclosure process to give families more time.

:07:28. > :07:35.the people in the frontline think? There is so much unemployment.
:07:35. > :07:42.is not a housing problem? It is an employment problem. The idea of the
:07:42. > :07:52.bank working with the people is good. It is a mess at the moment?
:07:52. > :07:55.
:07:55. > :07:58.It is. Be smart. This family watch their youngest shooting hoops. They
:07:58. > :08:06.have had their troubles. His brother, sister and brother-in-law
:08:06. > :08:16.all worked in the motor industry. This plant was not saved by the
:08:16. > :08:16.
:08:16. > :08:20.bailout. They have been out of work and fear that will stay. There is a
:08:20. > :08:25.massive disparity between the rich and the poor in this country. The
:08:25. > :08:34.manufacturing jobs are not there anymore. The good paying jobs I
:08:34. > :08:38.have enjoyed in my life, my kids will not see them. 12 years ago
:08:38. > :08:46.they built their dream house and it has been in the family since the

:08:59. > :09:03.bullets. This is the one thing we did not want to sell. Sacrifice has
:09:03. > :09:08.always been a part of the story that Americans like to tell about
:09:08. > :09:17.themselves. People here have lost the lot. They fear that much of it
