George Osborne. Peter Cruddas, treasurer of the Conservative Party,

:00:12.:00:24.

has resigned with immediate effect. Now it is time for Reporters.

:00:24.:00:28.

Libya's missing people. Thousands taken away by the Gaddafi regime

:00:28.:00:33.

and families still waiting for their news. Learning lessons from

:00:33.:00:40.

the past. The experience of post apartheid South Africa helped to

:00:40.:00:45.

heal the divisions in Northern Ireland. And we report from South

Korean slums close to one of Seoul's most luxurious addresses.

:00:52.:01:02.

Welcome to Reporters. Ever since his arrest, Libya has been trying

:01:02.:01:06.

to get him sent back to Tripoli, but the International Criminal

:01:06.:01:11.

Court in The Hague wants him to face charges also. Abdullah al-

:01:11.:01:17.

Senussi was regarded as Colonel Gaddafi's right-hand man. He was

:01:17.:01:23.

responsible for ordering arrest, detention and torture. There are

:01:23.:01:30.

still 8,000 people missing in Libya. Our correspondent reports. This is

:01:30.:01:37.

why a Libya once sent EC mac back for trial, a mass grave where at

:01:37.:01:47.
:01:47.:01:49.

least 35 people are believed to be buried. Why Libya wants sen Paul --

:01:49.:01:59.
:01:59.:01:59.

sen. This man has not seen or heard from his five sons since they were

:01:59.:02:06.

abducted last summer. Or five boys went missing on the same day?

:02:06.:02:16.
:02:16.:02:16.

at the same time. Do you where they are now? I do not know. He hopes

:02:16.:02:20.

that the same fate has since befallen his brother, last seen at

:02:20.:02:27.

his prison. Was your brother a political prisoner? Yes, I think so.

:02:27.:02:34.

The cells are now full of good that the loyalists. What became of the

:02:34.:02:44.

40-year-old doctor when he if you? I do not know exactly. I did not

:02:44.:02:49.

know where the places. As long as there is a chance his brother may

:02:49.:02:55.

be alive, he will try anything. He is giving his DNA to a central data

:02:55.:03:05.
:03:05.:03:06.

bank. There could be as many as 8,000 missing people in Libya.

:03:06.:03:10.

Opponents of the Gaddafi regime and those who served it. The blank

:03:10.:03:16.

spaces where the dead have already been identified. Tracing the others

:03:16.:03:21.

will not be easy. The process of identification is very complex and

:03:21.:03:29.

time-consuming. We are talking about years and this is definitely

:03:29.:03:32.

something that must be explained clearly to the grief-stricken

:03:32.:03:40.

families. The Rixos Hotel in Tripoli, where many journalists

:03:40.:03:46.

stayed. We are watching a video showing dozens of dead bodies.

:03:46.:03:50.

Anti-Gaddafi activists who were murdered in the woods and to rot in

explained. In this broken country, and lonely old man who just wants

:04:02.:04:09.

his boys to come home. BBC News, Tripoli. What can different

:04:09.:04:15.

conflicts teach each other about moving forward? There are lessons

:04:15.:04:20.

for South Africa from Northern Ireland? Leaders from the Republic

:04:20.:04:23.

of Ireland and Northern Ireland have been visiting South African

:04:23.:04:29.

leaders to learn about the process of twists and reconciliation there.

:04:29.:04:34.

Our correspondent reports. In a place once traumatised by political

:04:34.:04:40.

violence an extraordinary group has come together. A former senior IRA

:04:40.:04:44.

men chatting to a police officer whose organisation he once wanted

:04:44.:04:53.

to kill. This man is a top policemen from the Irish Republic.

:04:53.:04:59.

Near him, a former loyalist prisoner. It is easy to be angry

:04:59.:05:04.

with people you do not know, but when you get the facts of that they

:05:04.:05:11.

humanity and to know them as a person, it is not easy. They have

:05:11.:05:15.

come from a police with political settlement, but it did divisions

:05:15.:05:22.

over the legacy of the conflict. They need witnesses from the Truth

:05:22.:05:32.
:05:32.:05:34.

and Reconciliation Commission. is a victim? It is someone who was

:05:34.:05:42.

violated. The commission names names and was often highly-charged

:05:42.:05:49.

emotionally. There is no consensus for anything like this in Ireland.

:05:49.:05:55.

But from one influential figure, agreement that some truth process

:05:55.:06:02.

is needed. Kenny see the IRA taking part in something like this?

:06:02.:06:12.
:06:12.:06:12.

yes, I can. Even if that means saying painful truths. At the end

:06:12.:06:18.

of the day, at a conflict is about war. It is obviously about very

:06:18.:06:25.

painful things. But the devil is in the detail. No group wants to see

:06:25.:06:31.

its members publicly named and blamed. And opposition to public

:06:31.:06:37.

inquiries or amnesty for those who inflicted violets. It means that

:06:37.:06:41.

discussions like these are tentative, part of a much longer

:06:41.:06:47.

process aimed at creating trust and, for the first time in Irish history,

:06:47.:06:53.

or the possibility of a shared memory. Of course it is contagious,

:06:53.:06:59.

it is the blame game - he did what to look. The people created the

:06:59.:07:09.
:07:09.:07:10.

Good Friday Belfast Agreement, and they can come up with a way. This

:07:10.:07:14.

was the prison where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned. Men spent decades

:07:14.:07:20.

of their lives bottom edged with a message of reconciliation. This is

:07:20.:07:25.

a brave journey, old enemies working together to try to find an

:07:25.:07:28.

answer to a question which divides politicians and confounds

:07:28.:07:36.

governments. How at Di Matteo and sit the demands from the victims of

:07:36.:07:46.
:07:46.:07:48.

violence for the truth about the past. How do you meet the demands.

:07:48.:07:54.

BBC News, Northern Ireland. As cities around the world battle with

:07:54.:07:59.

growing inequality and social division South Korea faces a

:07:59.:08:05.

particularly glaring example - a shanty town beside one of Seoul's

:08:05.:08:14.

most exclusive areas. Luxury apartments, plenty of parking space

:08:14.:08:21.

and incredible views. Use of a Seoul's most controversial shanty

:08:21.:08:27.

town. These houses cost nothing, there is a drainage ditch in place

:08:27.:08:34.

of a swimming pool and be one shared electricity bill is probably

:08:34.:08:41.

cheaper than that of an average penthouse. These people were moved

:08:41.:08:47.

from their homes in 1988 for the cell Olympics. They have satellite

:08:47.:08:53.

dishes and a rudimentary postal system. Pastor King has been here

:08:53.:09:03.
:09:03.:09:04.

since the start. He not only runs the Chote, he also had to build it.

:09:04.:09:10.

It is very hard, this woman said. I have no monies, so I cannot afford

:09:10.:09:16.

to leave anywhere else. The fire is what really frightens me. Fires

:09:16.:09:23.

happen too often, no-one be sure what causes them. The tinderbox

:09:23.:09:27.

housing or desperate acts of arson. It is hard to believe that the

:09:27.:09:32.

people used to live here are seen as the lucky ones. The fire may

:09:32.:09:37.

have destroyed their homes, but it has given them a way out into free

:09:37.:09:42.

government housing. Oddly enough, it is the promise of new housing

:09:42.:09:47.

which has caused the most problems. Plans to develop the site have

:09:47.:09:52.

caused conflicts over who will benefit and who will lose. The cell

:09:52.:09:58.

government has stepped in to make short there is a fair distribution.

:09:58.:10:04.

TRANSLATION: These shows how our society has developed and matured.

:10:04.:10:08.

In the past no-one would dare prioritising legal tenants, but now

:10:09.:10:14.

they are seen as residents of cell as well. We realise the limitations

:10:14.:10:18.

of how we have done things over the past few years, simply chasing

:10:18.:10:24.

people away. At the Sun they said this, they still pray for

:10:24.:10:32.

deliverance. With its poverty and stigma, this place has always been

:10:32.:10:38.

more about the Prayer Book and the chequebook. But things are changing.

:10:38.:10:42.

That worldly salvation is the hardest challenge yet. BBC News,

:10:42.:10:52.
:10:52.:10:53.

A string of deaths in Taiwan and linked to overwork have raised

:10:53.:11:03.
:11:03.:11:06.

questions. It is the start of a long work day.

:11:06.:11:10.

She works at least 12 hours a day, six days a week to provide a good

:11:10.:11:15.

life for her children. She spends so much time at the shop that she

:11:15.:11:20.

is starting to question the toll it is taking on her health and family.

:11:20.:11:27.

TRANSLATION: Because I work from 9am to 10pm, I get tired easily. I

:11:28.:11:32.

have back and shoulder aches. I had to have shoulder surgery. The

:11:33.:11:37.

family only gets to spend time together on Sunday. She is not

:11:37.:11:45.

unusual. On average, Taiwanese people work 50% more than workers

:11:45.:11:53.

in Germany. That is leading to fatal consequences. TRANSLATION:

:11:53.:11:58.

Hsu Li-Li lost her son a fee years ago. For years he worked more than

:11:58.:12:02.

70 hours a week as a security The Guard. He suffered a stroke at work

:12:02.:12:08.

and died three weeks later. He was 29. TRANSLATION: My son died so

:12:08.:12:11.

young because the company put too much pressure on him and gave him

:12:12.:12:17.

very little time off. He worked 12 hours a day and did not even have a

:12:17.:12:22.

holiday during the Lunar New Year. My son did not want to quit his job

:12:22.:12:26.

until the company paid the over time they owed him. We needed money

:12:26.:12:31.

and it would not have been easy to find another job. The case is one

:12:31.:12:33.

of several confirmed by the government to have been caused by

:12:33.:12:39.

overwork. The company has paid a time -- fine by -- for violating

:12:39.:12:46.

overtime laws. Last year, more than 40 people died

:12:46.:12:51.

of overwork. For the first time, Taiwanese people are realising that

:12:51.:12:55.

working too hard is having an effect on their help. That has

:12:55.:13:03.

prompted them to take action. Several clinics have been set up to

:13:03.:13:09.

diagnose health problems caused by overwork. After another long day,

:13:09.:13:18.

Liu Su-Chung closer per shop. Some employers say that the Taiwanese

:13:18.:13:28.
:13:28.:13:28.

success story needs to continue so things can continue. But what is

:13:28.:13:36.

needed is a more folk -- Maurer they focus on the rights of workers.

:13:36.:13:38.

-- more focus on the rights of workers.

:13:39.:13:42.

Rising unemployment and cuts and salaries across large parts of the

:13:42.:13:45.

eurozone have forced many people to look for work beyond the borders of

:13:46.:13:51.

the year. This has led to unexpected consequences for small

:13:51.:13:57.

countries like Switzerland. I in the Alps, the tiny village --

:13:57.:14:06.

a tiny village. A typical Swiss community? Look a little closer.

:14:06.:14:11.

Nowadays, the language here is more often Portuguese than German. The

:14:11.:14:16.

corner shop sells wine and fish instead of cheese and chocolate.

:14:16.:14:21.

The crisis in the eurozone is attracting tens of thousands of

:14:21.:14:29.

workers to Switzerland. This man arrive last year. He has a job in

:14:29.:14:39.
:14:39.:14:39.

the neighbouring resort. I left school and I were a bit but not

:14:40.:14:49.

enough. I had this chance and I took it. This little Alpine village

:14:49.:14:54.

has really changed. So many workers from Portugal and Spain have come

:14:54.:15:01.

here to work that in a population of over 1,200 people, barely 500

:15:01.:15:11.
:15:11.:15:12.

are Swiss. In the kindergarten, just three children a Swiss. But

:15:12.:15:17.

without the new children, they might not be a school. Many locals

:15:17.:15:23.

believe the immigrants bring benefits. TRANSLATION: We need

:15:23.:15:25.

their labour in the building industry and tourism. They are

:15:25.:15:30.

helping us to make it. They live here and not everyone is happy

:15:30.:15:34.

about that, but they have to live somewhere. They're human beings

:15:34.:15:41.

after all. But moves are afoot to put a stop to immigration. A right-

:15:41.:15:49.

wing party wants Switzerland to opt out of free movement of people.

:15:49.:15:53.

Everybody underestimated the immigration into Switzerland. It is

:15:53.:15:58.

much larger than anybody thought. We have to stop the free movement

:15:58.:16:04.

in the sense of not controllable any more. We have to sit -- set

:16:04.:16:11.

limits and control it. Across Switzerland, communities are

:16:11.:16:15.

already living with the reality of free movement of people. Summer may

:16:15.:16:21.

not turn the clock back. Villages like this may not be able to. And

:16:21.:16:31.
:16:31.:16:33.

they may not want to. In the Thai capital, Bangkok, taxi

:16:33.:16:38.

drivers are largely anonymous. In February, all that changed for one

:16:38.:16:42.

driver what he witnessed the aftermath of a bomb explosion at a

:16:42.:16:46.

house rented by Iranians. The explosion sparked an international

:16:46.:16:51.

incident and one man was there tweeting from the scene.

:16:51.:16:56.

When the cars and buses grind to a halt, Bangkok's residence jump on

:16:56.:17:02.

the back of a motorbike taxi. It can be fast, thrilling and a bit

:17:02.:17:06.

dangerous. If you need to to get somewhere in a hurry and there is a

:17:06.:17:16.
:17:16.:17:17.

way through, they are your best chance of getting there on time.

:17:17.:17:22.

War and taxi driver is an avid Twitter and blogger. That has

:17:22.:17:28.

turned -- turned him into Bangkok's most famous taxi driver. Whether it

:17:29.:17:33.

be a traffic accident, the contents of his next meal or a possible

:17:33.:17:41.

suicide jumper, he posts though it is -- photos and update to his blog

:17:41.:17:45.

and Twitter feet. I do not feel like a journalist, more like a

:17:45.:17:49.

responsible member of society. If something bad happens or something

:17:49.:17:55.

dodgy, I want to tell everyone about it. And Valentine's Day, a

:17:55.:18:00.

series of explosions were heard nearby. A house rented by Iranians

:18:00.:18:09.

was badly damaged by a bomb, as was a taxi. Suddenly he was tweeting

:18:09.:18:12.

Updates on a major international story. You were the first year

:18:12.:18:22.
:18:22.:18:27.

after the bomb went off? Yes, I was the first. I took pictures. I used

:18:27.:18:37.
:18:37.:18:37.

by mobile phone to take photos. Then I posted them on the internet.

:18:37.:18:47.
:18:47.:18:49.

It was on Twitter straight away? It was an exclusive? Yes.

:18:49.:18:56.

Overnight, his tweets turned him into a celebrity. He appeared on TV

:18:56.:19:01.

and in Thailand's newspapers. Despite all the attention, he says

:19:02.:19:08.

he is not interested in becoming a journalist for time. He will

:19:08.:19:17.

continue breaking news from his bike.

:19:17.:19:21.

British singer Engelbert Humperdinck was a surprise choice

:19:21.:19:27.

as the UK's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest. At 75, he

:19:27.:19:33.

is the competition's oldest contestant. But Russia will not be

:19:33.:19:39.

out done by the UK. Russian villages are normally

:19:39.:19:49.
:19:49.:19:49.

havens of peace and tranquillity, but not this one. Presenting

:19:50.:19:56.

Russia's surprise entry for the Eurovision Song Contest. They are

:19:56.:20:06.

rehearsing their song. Most of these were men are in their 70s.

:20:06.:20:11.

These his singing grannies are topping the Eurovision leaderboard.

:20:11.:20:17.

They have a combined age of 403. They make Engelbert Humperdinck

:20:17.:20:27.
:20:27.:20:27.

look like a spring chicken. They are struggling with the English

:20:27.:20:33.

chorus. Their native tongue is the Udmurt. But they are struggling to

:20:34.:20:39.

prove that contests are not just for young people. And there is

:20:39.:20:47.

another, more spiritual reason. Buranovo has no church. Josef

:20:47.:20:53.

Stalin knocked it down. The -- this shop has been turned into a prayer

:20:53.:20:56.

house but these grannies hope that the contest will help them raise

:20:56.:21:03.

money to build another church. Household chores do not leave much

:21:03.:21:13.
:21:13.:21:13.

time for preparation. At 76, this woman will be the oldest Eurovision

:21:13.:21:18.

competitor ever. But her husband is not keen on the idea. TRANSLATION:

:21:18.:21:25.

If I'm away, who will milk the cow? How do they feel about being up

:21:25.:21:31.

against the pop world's most famous Grand that? Until recently, they

:21:31.:21:34.

had never even heard of Engelbert Humperdinck. But they're not

:21:34.:21:40.
