:00:25. > :00:29.I will be back at 1am. Now, it is Reports from inside the defunct

:00:29. > :00:34.Fukushima nuclear plant for the first time since Japan's earthquake

:00:34. > :00:39.and tsunami. Drawing out their differences among the rows and

:00:39. > :00:44.crisis, tensions amid Greece and Germany at boiling point.

:00:44. > :00:54.And ten years after Sierra Leone's civil war, we return to see efforts

:00:54. > :00:55.

:00:55. > :00:59.to improve maternity healthcare. Welcome to Reporters.

:00:59. > :01:03.An independent report on last year's nuclear disaster in Japan

:01:03. > :01:07.has accused the owners of the Fukushima nuclear power station and

:01:07. > :01:11.the government of being panic- stricken after the earthquake

:01:11. > :01:17.crippled the area. They say authorities only narrowly avoided a

:01:17. > :01:20.meltdown which could have forced the evacuation of Tokyo. One you on,

:01:20. > :01:24.international journalists were allowed into the planned for the

:01:25. > :01:31.first time since the disaster. Reporting from inside Fukushima, we

:01:31. > :01:37.have this report. Getting ready to face the radiation

:01:37. > :01:44.at Fukushima. Protection against the contamination. This is the

:01:44. > :01:54.sitting room. What do you have to wear it to face the radiation? --

:01:54. > :01:58.

:01:58. > :02:05.suiting. First is a boiler suit. Booties, a mask and full face mask.

:02:05. > :02:09.That will protect us from anything in the air. We are being taken to

:02:09. > :02:13.Fukushima. The first group of foreign journalists allowed in.

:02:13. > :02:19.Through the Exclusion zone, 12 miles of overgrown fields,

:02:19. > :02:26.abandoned homes, into the heart of the nuclear disaster. The source of

:02:26. > :02:31.fear for Japanese people for almost one year now. This is where the

:02:31. > :02:35.fight back is being co-ordinated. The control room at the power

:02:35. > :02:39.station. Minute-by-minute, they are monitoring the reactors, now

:02:39. > :02:45.stabilised. The air has been scrubbed by filters to keep the

:02:45. > :02:51.radiation out. TRANSLATION: What we have in mind is to prevent the

:02:51. > :02:58.release of radioactive gases. The leakage outside the power station

:02:58. > :03:02.which happened before. March last year and the power station was

:03:02. > :03:07.rocked by explosions. The tsunami triggered a meltdown in three of

:03:07. > :03:12.the reactors. Japan's leaders feared they would have to order the

:03:12. > :03:18.evacuation of Tokyo. It is only when you come here that you can

:03:18. > :03:22.appreciate the strength of the explosions. They tore those reactor

:03:22. > :03:32.buildings apart. You can see a few men up their working in the

:03:32. > :03:36.

:03:36. > :03:44.skeleton of the building. It remains highly radioactive here.

:03:44. > :03:48.They are trying to decontaminate the area and it could take up to 40

:03:48. > :03:53.years. We were then driven right past the reactors. Scarred by the

:03:53. > :03:58.power of the sea. The wreckage of trucks still litters the ground. In

:03:58. > :04:04.places, it is to radioactive for humans to enter. Elsewhere, workers

:04:04. > :04:09.were busy. They maintained the cooling systems, vital to keep in

:04:09. > :04:16.the reactors under control. TRANSLATION: I worked here before

:04:16. > :04:20.the disaster. Since the plant is in this condition, it is my mission to

:04:20. > :04:25.stay here. Midas exposure is within the legal limit and I have no

:04:25. > :04:30.concerns about health. What they fear is another earthquake, a

:04:30. > :04:35.second tsunami. It could to the nuclear disaster into crisis again.

:04:35. > :04:44.And nobody needs reminding now that sitting on the edge of the Pacific,

:04:44. > :04:49.the crippled reactors are painfully vulnerable.

:04:49. > :04:53.The parliament in Berlin recently voted to approve the financial

:04:53. > :04:57.rescue package for Greece which had been agreed by eurozone ministers.

:04:57. > :05:02.The relationship between Greece and Germany has soured over recent

:05:02. > :05:06.months. Parts of the German media have been attacking what they

:05:06. > :05:14.claimed his laziness - something the Greeks reject. In fact, there

:05:14. > :05:22.is resentment in creeks that is reminding them of Nazi occupation

:05:22. > :05:29.during World War II. This is drawing on real emotions.

:05:29. > :05:33.As the Greek problem deepens, anti- German sentiment is rising. Greeks

:05:34. > :05:39.hitting out at the country they feel is pushing the austerity drive

:05:39. > :05:44.here. TRANSLATION: Germany has already tried twice to make Europe

:05:44. > :05:49.a German. This time, it is through economic means. We have to resist

:05:49. > :05:53.them. We have no bad feeling towards the German people, just the

:05:53. > :05:57.government and European banks. Those feelings are stoking tensions

:05:57. > :06:01.here. The German flag was burned outside parliament in a recent

:06:01. > :06:06.protest and in a war of words, the Greek President said Germany's

:06:06. > :06:14.finance minister was insulted his country. The relationship has never

:06:14. > :06:18.been easy. Greece suffered terribly under German's occupation. --

:06:18. > :06:24.Germany's occupation during World War II. Seven decades later, this

:06:24. > :06:28.man still draws crowds. They need to discuss how Germany never paid

:06:28. > :06:34.Greece full reparations and how the Justus -- injustice continues.

:06:34. > :06:42.TRANSLATION: The way Germany is treating us is intolerable. We are

:06:42. > :06:47.like slaves. Young people ask me which flag should be torn down now.

:06:47. > :06:52.We must flag the -- fly the flag of soul of the -- sovereignty and

:06:52. > :06:57.freedom. Greece is traditionally a proud member of the European Union

:06:57. > :07:01.but now photos like this are emerging in newspapers. A sign of

:07:01. > :07:05.how the economic crisis is changing this nation in a profound and

:07:05. > :07:12.worrying way. But there is another side to the story. For thousands of

:07:12. > :07:16.Greeks relocating to Germany to escape the financial woes. This is

:07:16. > :07:22.last-minute packing before moving to Hamburg. Greeks emigrating to it

:07:22. > :07:27.-- to Germany soared by 80% last year. They are very nice and

:07:27. > :07:32.friendly people. Very kind. We do not have to blame them for what is

:07:32. > :07:38.happening now increase. We have to blame our politicians. Ourselves.

:07:38. > :07:44.Everybody knew what was happening in Greece for the last 40 years. It

:07:44. > :07:48.is not Germany's fault. At country dependent on tourism, Greece is

:07:48. > :07:53.well known for the hospitality of its people. But in hard times,

:07:53. > :08:00.those who suffer often turn their anger on the hat outsider. And that

:08:00. > :08:05.and the looks set to grow during the painful time ahead. -- on the

:08:05. > :08:09.outside of. Much of the recent focus in the

:08:09. > :08:13.eurozone has been on the crisis in Greece but given the size of its

:08:13. > :08:18.economy and its problems, it is in Italy that the future of the single

:08:18. > :08:22.currency might be decided. The Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti

:08:22. > :08:26.is trying to steer the country's tough reforms. Our Europe

:08:26. > :08:31.Correspondent reports from Venice on the in that there that the

:08:31. > :08:36.reforms are Hanneke -- are having on one iconic location.

:08:36. > :08:44.He facing the threat of going under. Both of Venice and the Italian

:08:44. > :08:49.economy are in the same boat. But can you save the country with a

:08:49. > :08:52.city like this in peril? Repair and restoration is a constant battle

:08:52. > :08:57.here. Cuts for local government and culture are taking their toll.

:08:57. > :09:03.Those who care for historic buildings say the private sector

:09:03. > :09:10.will have to pick up more and more of the tab. There are 24 million

:09:10. > :09:15.tourists. The economy of the town is OK, I think. We must learn to do

:09:15. > :09:20.something alone without the help of the government. The Greek prop --

:09:20. > :09:30.the problem is for the young people. Not the fault people. Just along

:09:30. > :09:31.

:09:31. > :09:35.the canal, they have to worry about both. -- old. TRANSLATION: It is

:09:35. > :09:39.hard to say but it is fair or not. The government is putting

:09:39. > :09:42.themselves first and asking us for more sacrifices. The city keeps the

:09:42. > :09:47.economy moving but we have less money to maintain everything.

:09:47. > :09:52.is one thing not being cut. A scheme to build a multiple barriers

:09:52. > :09:57.controlling the sea-level in a Venetian lagoon to protect the city

:09:57. > :10:01.from flooding. In a time of austerity, the government has

:10:01. > :10:05.released another 600 million euros for this project. Part of a multi-

:10:05. > :10:10.billion -- multi-billion Europe investment in infrastructure. One

:10:10. > :10:15.way they hope of boosting economic growth. It has created jobs but the

:10:15. > :10:20.economic impact on the city itself is pretty limited. There are some

:10:20. > :10:24.cases where we need this kind of investment. But it will be a long-

:10:24. > :10:30.term thing. We will not see the effects next year. It will take a

:10:30. > :10:33.lot of time. In Italy, it takes a lot of time to get authorisation of

:10:33. > :10:41.projects. And in the meantime in Venice and across the country,

:10:41. > :10:47.other battles are being forced. People are up in arms about

:10:47. > :10:54.liberalisation. Pharmacists are angry about competition. This is a

:10:54. > :10:59.revolution because we lose business with this change. In a country

:10:59. > :11:03.where tradition is so important, making huge changes too deeply

:11:03. > :11:08.rooted and restrictive employment practices is a massive change. A

:11:08. > :11:18.big adjustment for Italian society. The government here says it is do

:11:18. > :11:24.

:11:25. > :11:30.or die. In other words,... TRANSLATION: Mario Monti has to

:11:30. > :11:36.play his part if he is facing a real emergency. We just want our

:11:36. > :11:40.jobs back. The challenge for Venice, Italy and Mr Monti - how do you fix

:11:40. > :11:48.what is broken without destroying what you already have? So far, the

:11:48. > :11:52.government is still being given a chance to prove its work. Everybody

:11:52. > :11:56.has known that everybody else was being treated in the same way. The

:11:56. > :12:02.Prime Minister has stressed often the fact that we are causing

:12:02. > :12:12.troubles to all. But change comes slowly. This government may not

:12:12. > :12:15.

:12:15. > :12:22.last that long. And Italy's Exactly 10 here since the civil war

:12:22. > :12:27.in Sierra Leone in dead considerable progress has been made.

:12:27. > :12:31.Rebels who terrorised the country are but a distant memory.

:12:31. > :12:38.Democratic elections have been held and foreign investment is on the

:12:38. > :12:46.rise, but most of the people see little benefit. We report on the

:12:46. > :12:56.struggle they face to provide decent healthcare for everyone. The

:12:56. > :13:02.Pied Piper of Sierra Leone. This community nurse is collecting

:13:02. > :13:07.pregnant women from a slum area of the capital Freetown. Giving birth

:13:07. > :13:11.is one of the most dangerous things you can do in this country.

:13:11. > :13:21.Mortality rates for infants and mothers are among the highest in

:13:21. > :13:29.the world. Many people die from the tearing of the birth canal. It is

:13:30. > :13:39.called fistula. Even the pelvis which holds the baby is not yet

:13:39. > :13:49.complete. It is really complicated. At the time of birth the poll this

:13:49. > :13:50.

:13:50. > :13:55.cannot accommodate the baby. women will attend a modern

:13:55. > :14:01.maternity clinic financed by a British charity. Sierra Leone

:14:01. > :14:10.recently offered free mother and baby healthcare. But all they care

:14:10. > :14:19.in government hospitals is improving, it is starting from a

:14:19. > :14:22.very low base.. Even moving forward can presented same challenge us.

:14:22. > :14:29.Two years ago Sierra Leone introduced free care for mothers

:14:29. > :14:33.and babies and immediately there was a huge spiky in demand. The

:14:33. > :14:41.government accepts there are many problems in delivering quality of

:14:41. > :14:48.care. Resources, structure and equipment. They are the three

:14:48. > :14:56.issues. And also the specialist skills. We do not have specialist

:14:57. > :15:02.medical professionals. That is why there is still a role for the

:15:02. > :15:10.private charity that the nurse works well. Once a week they hold a

:15:10. > :15:16.ceremony to say goodbye to patients who are leaving and to raise morale.

:15:16. > :15:22.On these two are killed he now, leaving in its new dresses given to

:15:22. > :15:27.them by the charity. They are among the lucky few to get high quality

:15:27. > :15:32.healthcare in this country. The nurses in this clinic and staff at

:15:32. > :15:41.government hospitals both have a big task on their hands. BBC News,

:15:41. > :15:46.Serie A own. Life drawing is one of the oldest art forms in India. Many

:15:46. > :15:55.conservative forces in the country say that naked modelling is a sign

:15:55. > :16:05.of social and moral decline. This has led many art schools to stop it.

:16:05. > :16:11.

:16:11. > :16:20.We spend the day with a model in Duce -- Duce --. She is heading for

:16:20. > :16:30.the smart part of town and the university. This is the fine art

:16:30. > :16:37.

:16:37. > :16:41.department and she discreetly UN dresses. She has been posing for

:16:41. > :16:48.students at the University for the past five years and she is the only

:16:48. > :16:53.model they have now. These young artists are practising life-drawing,

:16:54. > :17:00.which has become a rare opportunity. It used to be a regular part of the

:17:00. > :17:06.curriculum. Life drawing is a cornerstone of art the learning and

:17:06. > :17:14.used to be common in India. On now it is under attack from many

:17:14. > :17:19.quarters - economic, political, social. The skin and the feeling

:17:19. > :17:23.and you know exactly where the body is turning. When the model is

:17:23. > :17:32.wearing close it is different. I think it should be a part of the

:17:32. > :17:39.cause. -- wearing clothing. Fine Art courses in India find it almost

:17:39. > :17:45.impossible to find models. It is not paid very well, but more

:17:45. > :17:52.importantly there is a social stigma. Nobody knows about my job,

:17:52. > :17:57.not even my parents. It is a secret. I am frightened. I do not know what

:17:57. > :18:06.will happen if they find out. Hell will break loose and nobody will

:18:06. > :18:11.ever marry me. Her concerns are understandable. Indian society is

:18:11. > :18:16.basically conservative. The man who runs the Art Department says that

:18:16. > :18:24.new models were not as skis in the past and that attitudes have

:18:24. > :18:34.changed. Society does not approve of females all males sitting naked

:18:34. > :18:34.

:18:34. > :18:39.in front of the public. They are look down upon as people who can be

:18:39. > :18:48.qualified as prostitutes in some sense. It is a lonely life for a

:18:48. > :18:55.nude model. She wishes society would accept careful what she is: A

:18:55. > :19:00.young, single woman trying to make a living. On BBC News. Finally,

:19:00. > :19:04.while there may be eight months until the US Federal election,

:19:04. > :19:11.Russia will soon have a new present, almost certainly one we have seen

:19:11. > :19:17.before. Vladimir Putin is almost certain to return to the post. His

:19:17. > :19:21.critics have found some unusual ways to voice their opposition. On

:19:21. > :19:31.they have asked us not to reveal where they are or who they are. It

:19:31. > :19:33.

:19:33. > :19:37.is all very hush-hush, but not for long. The punk band rehearsing

:19:37. > :19:47.their latest song about Vladimir Putin. You do not need to

:19:47. > :19:47.

:19:47. > :19:53.understand Russian to realise they do not liking very much. They hope

:19:53. > :19:59.he will be chased from power as soon, but why? This singer believes

:20:00. > :20:06.that he cheated in last year's parliamentary election. That is why

:20:06. > :20:10.she wants him out. When they perform in public they select high-

:20:10. > :20:18.profile venues like this roof opposite a jail where anti-

:20:18. > :20:24.government protesters have been locked up. They conclude Red Square

:20:24. > :20:30.and saying one of their songs. The concert lasted only a couple of

:20:30. > :20:34.minutes before the police turned up. On ride on the Kremlin's doorstep.

:20:34. > :20:39.It shows just how much the political and the music scene has

:20:39. > :20:46.changed in Russia. It was not so long ago when Vladimir Putin was

:20:46. > :20:53.Top of the Pops. There was a time when girl bands sang his praises.

:20:53. > :20:59.On we want a strong man like Putin, they once crooned. And these

:20:59. > :21:07.artists sang, my love is called Vladimir. On newsy critics welcome

:21:07. > :21:13.the change of tone. The more people criticise power, the Betty E D is

:21:13. > :21:19.for society in general. That makes those in power realise that are

:21:19. > :21:29.vulnerable and they have to be vulnerable. They are not invincible.

:21:29. > :21:29.

:21:29. > :21:37.There is still won -- one girl band backing Putin for President. These
