:00:54. > :00:56.unlikely Kellyville rematch from the Paris Games in 1,900. -- only

:00:56. > :01:00.vague. In Syria, there has been heavy

:01:00. > :01:05.fighting between government forces and rival fighters despite more

:01:05. > :01:11.international attempts to try to ease the virus. A gathering of EU

:01:11. > :01:15.foreign ministers explored a series of new sanctions have is the Assad

:01:15. > :01:20.regime. Turkey has called on leaders to consider the shooting

:01:20. > :01:26.down of one of his military jets as an attack on the NATO alliance.

:01:26. > :01:33.This comes at the UN says that violence in Syria is spiralling out

:01:33. > :01:36.of control, with civilians facing increasing danger. Our

:01:36. > :01:41.correspondent and caravans then to two weeks in the northern province

:01:41. > :01:49.of Idlib with groups opposed to the Assad regime. These reports contain

:01:49. > :01:54.distressing images. Forged in the fires of war, a new kind of rebel

:01:54. > :02:02.army is emerging. Video, battle- hardened and more organised than we

:02:02. > :02:07.have seen before. Over two weeks, we were given exclusive access. 12

:02:07. > :02:17.battalions and hundreds of men staff, they are working together

:02:17. > :02:27.

:02:27. > :02:34.for the first time. Armed with a few more weapons and a lot more

:02:34. > :02:41.ammunition, these are desperate men and desperate measures. Because the

:02:41. > :02:46.deadly package being delivered on the motorcycle is an IED. It is a

:02:46. > :02:52.sign that the rebels are also changing strategy and tactics. The

:02:52. > :02:58.line between life and death is perilously thin. The men creep onto

:02:58. > :03:08.land controlled by the military, down the road from an army base.

:03:08. > :03:10.

:03:10. > :03:15.The volley is carefully positioned and heaving. This tactic is now

:03:15. > :03:22.being used across Syria. TRANSLATION: We are still weak,

:03:22. > :03:28.that is why we are forced to make our own IEDs. They give us extra

:03:28. > :03:33.strength. We do not have any help from outside. Our people are being

:03:33. > :03:38.slaughtered and no-one else cares. We dash across the main road where

:03:38. > :03:45.the government tanks patrol. The rebel fighters move into place.

:03:45. > :03:48.This is an audacious operation. That checkpoint down the hill is

:03:48. > :03:54.acting as bait to lure government troops out of their compound and

:03:54. > :04:02.into their tanks, down the road, which is where they will detonate

:04:02. > :04:12.the IED. This is the rival army going on the offensive. The tanks

:04:12. > :04:13.

:04:13. > :04:18.advance, opening fire. For a while, we are stuck. The rebels do not

:04:18. > :04:24.expect the army to come from behind and with the IED now in the wrong

:04:24. > :04:33.place, they have had to run away. They were outgunned and outflanked

:04:33. > :04:37.and the operation is a failure. But what has now changed is the rebels'

:04:37. > :04:45.ability to respond so that when one battalion is in trouble,

:04:45. > :04:51.reinforcements arrive quickly. They moved in to a revolt area as the

:04:51. > :04:57.army deploys tanks and heavy machine-guns down the road. The

:04:57. > :05:04.fighters know this land well and they move in, forcing the army to

:05:04. > :05:10.withdraw. We have hit armoured vehicles, the commander says.

:05:10. > :05:15.Imagine their terror. It does not really matter who they support.

:05:15. > :05:21.Millions of people are caught up in a conflict of they did not choose,

:05:21. > :05:28.that the world seems unable to stop. And as the rebels come together and

:05:28. > :05:35.go on the offensive, it is a conflict that is spiralling out of

:05:35. > :05:44.control. Night time, just over the border

:05:44. > :05:52.from Turkey, the army is raining shells onto towns and villages.

:05:52. > :05:57.Under the searing heat of a blood red sky, the forces of war advance.

:05:57. > :06:02.Russian-made helicopters take to the skies, firing at rebel fighters.

:06:02. > :06:07.The violence is spiralling out of control. This is where some of the

:06:07. > :06:15.artillery landed. It is difficult to see what the value of the attack

:06:15. > :06:24.was. As far as we know, no fighters were here, just six boys sleeping.

:06:24. > :06:29.Another father mourns as the innocent suffer the most. One of

:06:29. > :06:35.his sons is now dead. The others are injured. We were taking to see

:06:35. > :06:39.the boys, injured and in hiding. The family say they cannot take

:06:39. > :06:45.them to hospital for treatment, afraid they will be arrested if

:06:46. > :06:52.they do. He rebels say this is why they fight but in a deadly cycle,

:06:52. > :07:02.the bloodshed only grows. This a two-year-old boy struggled to tell

:07:02. > :07:04.

:07:04. > :07:10.his story. TRANSLATION: The Syrian army did this to me. The rebels

:07:10. > :07:15.promise revenge as they vie to attack an army checkpoint. This is

:07:15. > :07:19.by far the largest group we have seen. Hundreds of fighters from

:07:19. > :07:28.Idlib. Like many, they are now getting help from across the border

:07:28. > :07:34.in Turkey. Each unit is given his orders. The fighters are tense as

:07:34. > :07:41.they go through their final checks. They hope the world will help but

:07:41. > :07:47.armed with guns and bullets, remains and home-made pipe-bombs,

:07:47. > :07:54.they are no longer waiting for anyone else. And the ceasefire? The

:07:54. > :07:59.UN six-point plan has been pushed aside. TRANSLATION: There have been

:07:59. > :08:04.many massacres here. All that men, women and children. Is this the

:08:04. > :08:13.ceasefire you are talking about? There is no ceasefire. There has

:08:13. > :08:21.not been one. The operation is bomb. Driven by anger and adrenalin, the

:08:21. > :08:27.fighters advance. The group ahead has opened fire too early, alerting

:08:27. > :08:35.the army. The fighters throw all their firepower at the military

:08:35. > :08:41.base. This size are now locked into this conflict, neither giving way.

:08:41. > :08:51.There is no turning back. Once again, it looks like the level plan

:08:51. > :08:51.

:08:51. > :08:57.has failed because shooting broke out too early. (GUNFIRE). For the

:08:57. > :09:02.moment, they are cornered in the back alley is. This is a rare

:09:02. > :09:09.insight into what is happening across the north as both sides

:09:09. > :09:14.slugged it out to control the north of Syria. There is a vehicle coming,

:09:14. > :09:19.let's go! The government calls these men terrorists and armed

:09:20. > :09:26.gangs. They say they are freedom fighters. Either way, many fear a

:09:26. > :09:34.future of more bloodshed. Thousands have already been killed and parts

:09:34. > :09:38.of Syria are descending into civil war.

:09:38. > :09:46.There are fears that she had just militants are strengthening their

:09:46. > :09:49.hold over parts of Africa. Mali was once seen as one of the most stable

:09:49. > :09:57.democracies in the Co chief -- continent. But after a military

:09:57. > :10:04.coup and lots of turmoil, there are concerns that it is now becoming a

:10:04. > :10:10.base for his list insurgence. His report contains disturbing images.

:10:10. > :10:14.Timbuktu, famously low load and famously tolerant. A magnet for a

:10:14. > :10:20.adventurous tourists. No more. Islamist fighters linked to Al-

:10:20. > :10:25.Qaeda have seized an area the size of France in northern Mali. The

:10:25. > :10:31.rules have changed abruptly. A public flogging for a man found

:10:31. > :10:37.guilty of drinking alcohol. Note the pale man on the right in green.

:10:37. > :10:42.It is thought that fighters on places like Pakistan are now coming

:10:42. > :10:52.to the region. This local says that she had will not stop Vettel Sharia

:10:52. > :10:53.

:10:53. > :10:56.law is in place across Mali. There are other, more moderate forces

:10:56. > :11:00.among these title fight is just a length for power. But the

:11:00. > :11:04.possibility of a new base for extremism just south of the

:11:04. > :11:09.Mediterranean is ringing alarm bells. There is a significant

:11:09. > :11:16.number of foreign fighters in northern Mali. Al-Qaeda is a cancer

:11:16. > :11:20.that can grow and spread unless it is counted to where it is found.

:11:20. > :11:25.The turmoil in northern Mali has already triggered a military coup

:11:25. > :11:30.in the capital. Now, neighbouring countries want to send in troops to

:11:30. > :11:35.stop the chaos spreading further afield. Until a few months ago,

:11:35. > :11:41.this was one of Africa's most stable democracies but the piece

:11:41. > :11:46.has unravelled here with dizzying speed. Mali is not Somalia for

:11:46. > :11:51.Afghanistan but it is in trouble, if a threat to the region and

:11:51. > :11:58.beyond. Marlene's musicians summarise the mood of popular

:11:58. > :12:05.frustrations. This is everyone's fight, they say. They what the Liz

:12:05. > :12:15.Ellis defeated at their country reunited. We should never have come

:12:15. > :12:16.

:12:16. > :12:19.to this point. The only solution we have is a military solution. In the

:12:19. > :12:29.meantime, more families are escaping from the chaos in places

:12:29. > :12:30.

:12:30. > :12:35.like Timbuktu. TRANSLATION: It is sad, very sad. This man is one of

:12:35. > :12:45.300,000 people forced to flee his home as an African success story

:12:45. > :12:46.

:12:46. > :12:51.The United Nations is concerned about spread of hatches in the

:12:51. > :12:55.wards of hospitals where parents can place an unwanted child none --

:12:55. > :12:59.anonymously for it to be cared for and adopted. They are spreading in

:12:59. > :13:02.many parts of Europe and the UN Committee on the rights of the

:13:02. > :13:10.child contravene the rights of children to know who their

:13:10. > :13:14.biological parents are. Baby Crew, the sign says, pointing the way to

:13:14. > :13:19.a journey no mother wants to take. In a perving suburb, there is a

:13:19. > :13:26.part for desperate mothers, unable to cope with their newborn babies -

:13:26. > :13:31.- billion. This is the baby box, inside warmth and comfort. And in

:13:31. > :13:36.this specialist unit, a new light up -- life with adoption. Ten years

:13:36. > :13:42.ago, this mother took that route. She is young and in anguish. The

:13:42. > :13:49.father was absent, so she gave her son away. But she changed her mind

:13:49. > :13:53.five days later. The TRANSLATION: I came back because it was my child.

:13:53. > :13:57.I had been confused at first but when I came back, I noticed that

:13:57. > :14:04.the first time, the colour of his eyes and his hair. The baby helped

:14:04. > :14:07.me get my life together. There are about 200 of these Baby Boxes in

:14:07. > :14:11.Europe and the people behind and said that the benefits are obvious,

:14:11. > :14:15.they save lives. But the critics, including the UN Committee that the

:14:15. > :14:20.protection of the rights of the child, disagree, saying it is much

:14:20. > :14:24.more complex. Tarts psychologist Kevin Browne wrote a report for the

:14:24. > :14:30.UN. It says that the had just deny children the right to know who

:14:30. > :14:34.their parents are. They take away the right of the child to their

:14:34. > :14:38.identity, to their genetic make-up and background. And a family

:14:38. > :14:43.upbringing, with biological well as Yves. Baby hatches are not a new

:14:43. > :14:47.idea. Medieval cathedrals like this one in Italy had windows specially

:14:47. > :14:54.built so that mothers could pass their babies in through for

:14:54. > :14:59.adoption. Now they are making a comeback. But times have changed.

:14:59. > :15:04.The critics say that today's baby had just might discourage women

:15:04. > :15:11.from coming to a maternity unit to have a baby, they might encourage

:15:11. > :15:15.dangerous, secret birds at home. Berlin's first baby box was set up

:15:15. > :15:20.by Gabriella, some mothers would not just dump unwanted babies in

:15:20. > :15:24.dangerous places. TRANSLATION: You should know who your biological

:15:24. > :15:28.parents are, but you can only be interested in that when you are

:15:28. > :15:33.alive, and therefore, it is very important to have the chance to be

:15:33. > :15:37.alive, that is even more important than knowing who is my mother.

:15:37. > :15:47.says that about two babies per year get left here. Each one is given a

:15:47. > :15:53.new life. Pakistani officials say they are doing their best to save

:15:53. > :15:57.one of the most important archaeological sites in South Asia.

:15:57. > :16:01.It was one of the first plan cities to have been built anywhere in the

:16:01. > :16:11.world. But as we report, some experts fear that it may soon be

:16:11. > :16:18.lost. The should be a side that is cherished, it is one of the first

:16:18. > :16:25.cities to be created anywhere in the world. It once housed thousands

:16:25. > :16:34.of citizens. Arguably, it had the most advanced Architecture of its

:16:34. > :16:39.time. There were double storey homes, with their own water supply.

:16:39. > :16:43.Only around 10% of the Bah site has been excavated, the most impressive

:16:43. > :16:48.are the streets and the urban planning. The lower town for the

:16:49. > :16:53.working classes and another town for the wealthy. You can see some

:16:53. > :16:58.of the splendour and the elite of the city would have lived ever

:16:58. > :17:03.there and some of those walls are thousands of years old. But there

:17:03. > :17:07.were similar walls on this mound as well. Over the last ten years or so,

:17:07. > :17:11.they have crumbled and they are now nothing more than a pile of bricks.

:17:11. > :17:18.There are real concerns that without proper conservation, more

:17:18. > :17:22.of this incredible start -- site could go the same way. Sold,

:17:22. > :17:25.atmospheric moister and rain are eating away at the base of the

:17:25. > :17:32.walls. The Pakistani authorities have done very little to

:17:32. > :17:39.effectively protects them. 8 in the museum he was looted, with many of

:17:39. > :17:43.the most valuable outbacks going missing. Humidity, and direct

:17:43. > :17:46.sunlight. This doctor is one of Pakistan's most eminent

:17:47. > :17:51.archaeologists and she has looked on in despair at the decline for

:17:51. > :17:57.many years. But she says that the deterioration has accelerated of

:17:57. > :18:05.late because of poor conservation. There is a drastic change and is

:18:05. > :18:13.quite upsetting. I think that the real white silk -- archaeologists

:18:14. > :18:17.would be upset. I think that if it goes on like this, it won't survive.

:18:17. > :18:23.The local government says that it is forming a plan to save the site,

:18:23. > :18:31.but time is fast running out to stop the greatest archaeological

:18:31. > :18:34.treasure of Pakistan being lost forever start -- forever. You

:18:34. > :18:42.probably do not associate the Olympics with cricket but it did

:18:42. > :18:48.make one appearance at the Paris Games in 1,800. A team from England

:18:48. > :18:54.beat a side from France and 112 years later, that piece of sporting

:18:54. > :18:59.history has been re- created. We went along to watch. In the grounds

:18:59. > :19:05.of a French chateau, a very English setting. Armed with a fait a fine

:19:05. > :19:11.crop of tea, the air cricketers are a key to mark a unique as a

:19:11. > :19:14.boarding -- sporting occasion. The stage is set for the rematch of the

:19:14. > :19:22.1,900 Olympic cricket final between England and the reigning silver

:19:22. > :19:27.medallists, France. By sleaze do can say that he wants something

:19:27. > :19:32.today. Today, to wander -- on a London 2012, the MCC are playing a

:19:32. > :19:42.France selecting, young, improving Ante keen to pit their wits against

:19:42. > :19:43.

:19:43. > :19:48.experience opposition. It is a big- match and it is a good chance Russ

:19:48. > :19:54.as well. In 1,900, the French side was drawn from the two best cricket

:19:54. > :19:57.clubs in Paris. They played an English team from the West Country.

:19:57. > :20:07.It was the only time that cricket could be played at the Olympics,

:20:07. > :20:10.

:20:10. > :20:15.and it was just as well that England prevailed. It was said that

:20:15. > :20:20.all those years ago, in 1,900, that France is never going to be much

:20:20. > :20:24.good at cricket, because they are too excitable, and they cannot set

:20:24. > :20:28.their minds to the job. Or France have done wonderful things in sport

:20:28. > :20:30.at the use -- over the years and that is why I am so delighted that

:20:30. > :20:38.they are bringing cricket into French schools and that is for

:20:38. > :20:42.women as well as men. How do you direct a Frenchman to deep backward

:20:42. > :20:50.square leg? I can tell you, because I had this book that creates the

:20:50. > :20:59.wonderful language of cricket into French. For instance, a leg-spinner

:20:59. > :21:05.is a prowler. And how about this one? A wicket maiden, a crowned

:21:05. > :21:09.Virgin. Sadly, on this occasion, the French batsmen showed some of

:21:09. > :21:15.the same over exuberance that defined their team in 1,900 and we

:21:15. > :21:18.are -- they were dismissed for 74. 112 years of history, the French

:21:18. > :21:23.were still be worried -- runners up, but it is not going to be long
