:01:06. > :01:10.Welcome to Reporters mac. Civilians fleeing Homs have accused

:01:14. > :01:18.Families that have managed to escape have told the BBC that men

:01:18. > :01:25.and boys were killed in front of them. Opposition activists say

:01:25. > :01:27.thousands have fled the city, many from the Baba Amr district. Our

:01:27. > :01:32.correspondent and cameraman or sent this exclusive report from the

:01:32. > :01:42.outskirts of Homs. I should warn you that it contains graphic

:01:43. > :01:50.accounts by eyewitnesses. On a road out of harm's, just part

:01:50. > :01:55.of the exodus from Baba Amr. -- Homs.

:01:55. > :02:04.They endured weeks under bombardment, then fled, panic,

:02:04. > :02:10.before troops arrived. TRANSLATION: We have no armed gangs. We and our

:02:10. > :02:14.children are forced to flee under the cover of darkness.

:02:14. > :02:23.People are terrified of what government forces will do now. This

:02:24. > :02:31.group walked for three days to avoid the soldiers. Here is why.

:02:32. > :02:41.Whoever is taken at a checkpoint will be killed, he says. They took

:02:42. > :02:42.

:02:42. > :02:49.our husbands, she cries. They took them at the checkpoint. Everyone

:02:49. > :02:56.shares the same fear, that their husbands are not coming back. For

:02:56. > :03:00.now, they are on their own, with nothing. It is absolutely freezing

:03:00. > :03:03.here and these children have got a night in a house with no heat and

:03:03. > :03:10.no electricity. More than that, they are wondering what on earth

:03:10. > :03:16.has happened to their father. These families says they witnessed and

:03:16. > :03:26.massacre. On Friday, troops took 36 men end boys from one district,

:03:26. > :03:35.they say, killing them all. My son's throat was cut, she says. He

:03:35. > :03:45.was 12. TRANSLATION: A Butcher and four people. The soldiers were

:03:45. > :03:46.

:03:46. > :03:49.killing people like these. The victims' hands were tied up.

:03:49. > :03:54.TRANSLATION: We managed to cross the checkpoint but two of my

:03:54. > :04:04.brothers were detained. I managed to save one but they took one with

:04:04. > :04:04.

:04:04. > :04:10.them and killed him. My father's life is not worth more

:04:10. > :04:15.than the young people we have lost. Can such horror stories be true?

:04:15. > :04:23.These men defected from an elite Army unit are only last week. They

:04:23. > :04:30.told me that civilians were targeted, prisoners killed. A

:04:30. > :04:37.lieutenant gave us the orders, he said. We were told, in this

:04:37. > :04:42.operation, shoot at anything that moves, civilian or military. Orders

:04:42. > :04:46.were given to tell people we were about to execute. This is the price

:04:46. > :04:56.of freedom you were fighting for. People were killed for no reason

:04:56. > :05:03.whatsoever. The people of Baba Amr say they are

:05:03. > :05:09.victims of crime. The outside world will want proof. Briefly, they

:05:09. > :05:14.defied the regime. Now they are scattered, there uprising crushed.

:05:14. > :05:23.There is international outrage, but no agreement about how to bring

:05:23. > :05:26.this to an end. The top religious Council in

:05:26. > :05:31.Afghanistan says males and females should not be allowed to mix at

:05:31. > :05:37.school, work or in other aspects of daily life. It says women should

:05:37. > :05:40.not travel without a male relative. The statement was welcomed by the

:05:40. > :05:48.Afghan President. Human rights campaigners say they are worried he

:05:48. > :05:56.is trying to placate the Taliban. News time on Afghanistan's Channel

:05:56. > :06:00.One. With top presenter. Women at newscasters have been in the

:06:00. > :06:06.headlines lately after the government told them to wear

:06:06. > :06:13.headscarves and avoid heavy make-up. Now senior clerics say men and

:06:13. > :06:17.women should not work side by side, unwelcome news for this newsreader.

:06:17. > :06:23.It is wrong to say we should not work together, she told us. I am

:06:23. > :06:27.proud of my job and the fact that I work outside my home. But

:06:27. > :06:33.Afghanistan's top religious Council, which is government-funded, does

:06:33. > :06:36.not want women roaming freely outside. It says that under Islam

:06:36. > :06:42.they should be accompanied by a male relative. This is a request

:06:42. > :06:46.and reminder, the council says. Critics say it is an echo of the

:06:47. > :06:50.Taliban. There is growing concern among human rights activists and

:06:50. > :06:55.women's groups that the progress made in recent years could be

:06:55. > :06:59.rolled back. The fear is that in the push to do a peace deal with

:06:59. > :07:03.the Taliban President Karzai will be willing to sacrifice women's

:07:03. > :07:10.rights. Campaigners warn it that this is just the beginning of a

:07:10. > :07:17.journey back in time. These leading MP, who survived at Taliban ambush,

:07:17. > :07:20.breads and returned to the dark days of the past. We struggled for

:07:20. > :07:25.ten years. We have gained so much. They have started taking some of

:07:25. > :07:30.those basic rights, like working together, living together, going

:07:30. > :07:36.out like a free human being. You are not allowed to do that anymore.

:07:36. > :07:41.For now, in his private university in Kabul, young Afghans are allowed

:07:41. > :07:51.to share a classroom. That is how they want it to stay. Who thinks

:07:51. > :07:55.

:07:55. > :08:01.men and women should be able to study together? Raise your hands.

:08:01. > :08:06.This one plans a career in business. Another wants to going business.

:08:06. > :08:10.That is is the Taliban and clerics do not rewrite their future.

:08:10. > :08:14.The Somali militant group Al-Shabab has been severely weakened in

:08:14. > :08:17.recent months. The group has become increasingly unpopular in the

:08:17. > :08:22.country, partly because of its strict interpretation of Islamic

:08:22. > :08:28.law. Its stronghold was recently captured by Ethiopian troops

:08:28. > :08:33.fighting alongside Somali solders. Our correspondent was one of the

:08:33. > :08:38.first journalists into the region following its fall.

:08:38. > :08:46.A rare chance to go deep inside Somalia, a flight to a town which

:08:46. > :08:50.until a few days ago was a key Al- Shabab stronghold. Lending at the

:08:50. > :08:57.airstrip it is immediately clear who controls the town now,

:08:57. > :09:00.Ethiopian soldiers with plenty of firepower. The visit was organised

:09:00. > :09:09.by the Ethiopian Army, keen to show it is winning the war against Al-

:09:09. > :09:14.Shabab. A look inside what was the is a must militants based. On the

:09:14. > :09:20.walls, jihadist graffiti, the images of a war that has drawn in

:09:20. > :09:24.foreign fighters from across the world. The weaponry of the Al-Qaeda

:09:24. > :09:27.linked militants. Some of these were captured, others were

:09:27. > :09:37.abandoned as the Ethiopian and Somali troops advanced across the

:09:37. > :09:48.

:09:48. > :09:52.country. We did the offensive on these places. A key ally to the

:09:52. > :09:56.West, this is Ethiopia's second major military offensive in recent

:09:56. > :10:00.years to stop the Islamists from controlling Somalia. About three

:10:00. > :10:04.years ago Somalis were celebrating on the streets as the Ethiopian

:10:04. > :10:08.Army pulled out. Those soldiers are back. The challenge for Ethiopia is

:10:08. > :10:15.to make sure this incursion does not become as unpopular as the last

:10:15. > :10:19.one. It is not seen as a foreign military invasion. On the streets,

:10:19. > :10:23.many businesses have stayed shut. That is partly because the battle

:10:23. > :10:29.for the town may not be over. Nobody knows how long the

:10:29. > :10:33.Ethiopians will stay, so there is a fear that Al-Shabab could return.

:10:33. > :10:40.In the presence of Ethiopian officials, Somali elders said they

:10:40. > :10:43.were grateful for the help in tackling the militants. This man

:10:43. > :10:53.said the is the most fighters were be welcome back home, if they came

:10:53. > :10:55.

:10:55. > :10:59.in peace. The ingredients of terror referred these days by Al-Shabab.
