:00:25. > :00:31.The 2012 Olympics have finished but how well did London School? We rate

:00:31. > :00:34.the host city. Now on to Rio. We look at how Brazil is gearing up to

:00:35. > :00:43.host the first Olympics to ever be staged in South America.

:00:43. > :00:52.Going hungry despite plenty of food stocks. Central India has 40% of

:00:52. > :00:56.its children malnourished. We will come. -- welcome. Last week

:00:56. > :01:02.at the closing ceremony, the game's chief said Britain did it right.

:01:02. > :01:07.But what about London's overall performance? We too would be a

:01:07. > :01:10.breath of the host city, looking at whether London deserves a gold

:01:10. > :01:12.medal. None did we did well has been a

:01:13. > :01:15.roller-coaster ride of sporting excitement. Of course we expect

:01:15. > :01:21.world-class performances from world-class athletes but what about

:01:21. > :01:24.the host city itself? Come with us as we go from Hyde Park to and the

:01:24. > :01:33.park, from the centre to the eastern corners, to see how the

:01:33. > :01:37.City scored. It's summer in London but you can

:01:37. > :01:41.never take the great British weather for granted. What has it

:01:41. > :01:47.been like to win the Olympics? started as a bit grey and miserable.

:01:47. > :01:57.It didn't feel like summer. It's and Australia but it's good for

:01:57. > :01:57.

:01:57. > :02:02.London. How would you score it? strip clubs for London. -- flip-

:02:02. > :02:07.flops. They have been a number of UN to give a lead -- events,

:02:07. > :02:13.including the marathon. London 2012 promised to be an inclusive Games.

:02:13. > :02:18.Have they been? It is good. Even though we could not get tickets,

:02:18. > :02:28.having a public event makes us feel part of it. Because of that, I will

:02:28. > :02:29.

:02:29. > :02:34.give London 2012 a smiley face! London is a busy city. One of the

:02:34. > :02:38.world's commercial capitals. How have restaurants and small

:02:38. > :02:45.businesses down? See as the Olympics started, it has been quite

:02:45. > :02:51.bad. Not as good as usual because everybody has scored to the Olympic

:02:51. > :02:56.Park. -- gone to the Olympic Park. The noise of cheering spectators

:02:56. > :03:01.has been joyous and deafening throughout London. But what do the

:03:01. > :03:06.spectators make of the venues? went to the athletics and I thought

:03:07. > :03:11.the atmosphere there was electric. Absolutely. The North Greenwich

:03:11. > :03:21.arena for the gymnastics was intense. And beautiful at this fear

:03:21. > :03:21.

:03:21. > :03:27.with the athletes and the crowd. love the venues. I give it a

:03:27. > :03:37.smiling vote. If you had to sum it up in one word, what would it be?

:03:37. > :03:37.

:03:37. > :03:43.Surprising. Amazing! Rubbish. Efficient! Amazing! An impressive

:03:43. > :03:47.record London. Now, it's over to Rio. Good luck!

:03:47. > :03:50.Attention now turns to Rio de Janeiro as it prepares to host the

:03:50. > :03:55.games that in four years. In preparation, the city already

:03:55. > :04:00.resembles a huge building site, with many ambitious projects. But

:04:00. > :04:07.the question looms - will it be ready? Quentin Sommerville reports

:04:07. > :04:15.from the Brazilian city. As an Olympic backdrop, the beaches

:04:15. > :04:19.of real are hard to beat. The views are spectacular. In four years time

:04:19. > :04:23.up the road in Copacabana, they will be hosting the triathlon and

:04:23. > :04:27.beach volleyball. Copacabana beach is one of the most wonderful

:04:28. > :04:31.beaches in the world. If the volleyball will be here, certainly

:04:31. > :04:36.it will be the most wonderful volley ball of the world. The EU

:04:36. > :04:41.know beforehand that you had it got it? We could feel it. If -- did you

:04:41. > :04:48.know beforehand. The mayor is making big promises to the 6

:04:48. > :04:54.million living here and to the world. They will see a city that is

:04:54. > :04:59.on time, the infrastructure. This is a place where the Games will

:04:59. > :05:09.leave lots of legacy and help integrate the city. These new

:05:09. > :05:10.

:05:10. > :05:15.faster buzzers drive in exclusive lanes and are part of the process.

:05:15. > :05:21.They will ferry around the with the visitors if the network is ready on

:05:21. > :05:26.time. Part of its most critical route will only be finished months

:05:26. > :05:31.before it begins. This is where the main ceremony will take place. The

:05:31. > :05:35.work has seen many problems, including strikes and huge costs.

:05:35. > :05:39.Across Brazil and beyond, there are worries that not enough has been

:05:39. > :05:43.done to get we are ready for the Games. This stadium at least we'll

:05:43. > :05:46.be ready. It will be used first for the football World Cup. Many people

:05:47. > :05:52.believe this is an investment worthwhile because they have seen

:05:52. > :06:01.the city where we have the beach and for a long time they have only

:06:01. > :06:05.had the beach. We are told that -- people will soon have the stadium

:06:05. > :06:11.back. But not everybody believes the Games will leave them better

:06:11. > :06:15.off. Some are campaigning to stop the destruction of their homes.

:06:15. > :06:22.Their villa will disappear to make way for the Olympic Park. They are

:06:22. > :06:26.determined to force the city to change its plans. He tells me, I

:06:26. > :06:30.believe in justice. I believe justice was made for all. We have

:06:30. > :06:36.the right to this land. We have been here for more than 40 years

:06:36. > :06:41.and we have the documentation to prove it. On the beach, they are

:06:41. > :06:45.playing an improvised, spontaneous and thoroughly Brazilian sport. The

:06:45. > :06:51.world will demand a far more disciplined approach from the

:06:51. > :06:56.country in its preparations for the Olympics in 2016.

:06:56. > :07:00.Malnutrition is a problem facing countries across the globe. It's

:07:00. > :07:05.estimated that 170 million people go hungry on a daily basis. One of

:07:05. > :07:10.the country's worst affected is India. Despite having a fast-

:07:10. > :07:16.growing economy, 40% of its children are malnourished. From

:07:16. > :07:23.central India, Andrew North sent this report.

:07:23. > :07:28.This girl is two years old but she weighs less than a baby two months

:07:28. > :07:31.old. She is so weak, she can't even stand up. She is one of millions of

:07:31. > :07:38.Indian children suffering from chronic malnutrition. The

:07:38. > :07:43.government has programmes to deal with it but the problem won't go

:07:43. > :07:49.away. She is anaemic. The doctor at this emergency feeding said it sees

:07:49. > :07:53.new cases every day. -- centre. She became ill, her grandmother tells

:07:53. > :08:00.us, and stopped eating. She says the family rarely has enough food

:08:00. > :08:08.to go around. In remote villages in central India, hunger is an

:08:08. > :08:12.everyday reality. We find a boy who is at risk of starving to death. He

:08:12. > :08:20.is two years old and painfully thin. Officials have identified him as a

:08:20. > :08:24.priority case and yet he is not kidding any extra food or help. The

:08:24. > :08:29.local food distribution centre is NT of supplies when we visit.

:08:29. > :08:33.Villagers tell us it's usually closed. -- is empty of supplies.

:08:33. > :08:37.But 30 minutes away is this huge grain store, fall again after

:08:37. > :08:41.another good harvest. Indian children don't need to go hungry.

:08:41. > :08:45.The country produces a surplus of food every year. Here in this

:08:45. > :08:49.warehouse there is enough week to feed one million people. And there

:08:49. > :08:56.are hundreds of others across the country. The question is, why isnt

:08:56. > :08:59.it get into the people who need it most? There has been process --

:08:59. > :09:04.progress, the Government says, but admits corruption and mismanagement

:09:04. > :09:07.in its aid programmes still means too many children go hungry. Unless

:09:07. > :09:11.we have checks and balances at a grassroots level, all of these

:09:11. > :09:15.programmes will may not 100% satisfactory. But we also have to

:09:15. > :09:20.keep the other perspective in mind. That one decade ago, this country

:09:20. > :09:26.do not have money to feed all the children. We have tens of millions

:09:26. > :09:30.or hundreds of millions of boys and girls getting hot, cooked meals in

:09:30. > :09:33.their schools. That is an improvement. But because they did

:09:33. > :09:39.not get enough food early on, even children who are now giving help

:09:39. > :09:49.could be stunted for life. And with so many affected, malnutrition is

:09:49. > :09:50.

:09:50. > :09:55.holding back in your's future. A new force has exploded on to the

:09:55. > :09:57.Italian political scene. It's not a party of the usual kind by a

:09:57. > :10:01.citizen's movement born on the internet. The supporters have

:10:01. > :10:05.contempt for the traditional parties and politicians and the

:10:05. > :10:09.citizens are now shaking the establishment. Allan Johnston

:10:09. > :10:16.reports from a northern city, where the five-star movement has taken

:10:16. > :10:25.hold. Up goes the curtain. It reveals

:10:25. > :10:30.what is one of the finest opera houses in all of Italy. This is the

:10:30. > :10:36.city of this theatre but the seeds stayed NT this summer. This is an

:10:36. > :10:43.cancelled because the city could not provide the theatre with funds.

:10:43. > :10:46.-- stayed empty this summer. It's more than $900 million in debt and

:10:46. > :10:51.in desperation people decided to throw out their old political

:10:51. > :10:59.leaders. Instead, they are trying something completely new. They hope

:10:59. > :11:03.this man can ride to its rescue. He is an IT consultant who has been

:11:03. > :11:09.elected mayor. He now leads a council drawn from a citizens'

:11:09. > :11:15.network called the five star movement. TRANSLATION: We have no

:11:15. > :11:21.political experience in running a city, that's true. But we have like

:11:21. > :11:26.experiences, good judgement, that we can apply to political life.

:11:26. > :11:33.rise of the citizens' movement is driven by content for Italy's old

:11:33. > :11:37.style parties. TRANSLATION: I voted for this mayor because I was tide

:11:37. > :11:43.of bad government, scandals, huge debt. I didn't feel like trusting

:11:43. > :11:48.called politics again. TRANSLATION: I voted for them as a gamble. Past

:11:48. > :11:52.administrations have really messed up. The new citizens of -- citizens

:11:52. > :11:57.mayor listens to his council offices but he will also repeatedly

:11:57. > :12:01.asked his fellow citizens to help him make decisions. Continual mass

:12:01. > :12:05.consultation is at the heart of the People Power idea. But some here

:12:06. > :12:15.doubt that you can run a city officially if you are endlessly

:12:15. > :12:19.turning to the mass as for answers. TRANSLATION: I don't think there

:12:19. > :12:23.model can work. The problem is that they are naive and have no

:12:23. > :12:33.experience in government. This is an experiment that will eventually

:12:33. > :12:37.realise that they can't do without structures. So can the new politics

:12:37. > :12:43.of Palmer fixed this theatre and the city's other problems? Toadie

:12:43. > :12:47.of people believe this experiment in democracy Bill failed. -- 20.

:12:47. > :12:57.But if it somehow succeeds, many other people in Italy may decide

:12:57. > :12:59.

:12:59. > :13:03.Now, to one of the most politically sensitive issues around the world.

:13:03. > :13:07.Immigration. Usually governments are trying to keep immigrants out,

:13:07. > :13:15.but in Baltimore, Maryland in the west, they are taking the opposite

:13:15. > :13:24.approach. PCT has a policy of actively inviting immigrant

:13:24. > :13:29.families to actively stem the region's population decline.

:13:29. > :13:34.Baltimore, Maryland. Once the tenth largest city in the US. It is

:13:34. > :13:39.losing a pop-up -- its population at a dramatic rate. Less people,

:13:39. > :13:49.less business, less tax revenue. To reverse the situation, the City is

:13:49. > :13:49.

:13:49. > :13:53.taking a bold step, actively inviting immigrants to settle here.

:13:53. > :13:59.This woman arrived in the US Tour this ago as an undocumented

:13:59. > :14:04.immigrant. She recently got a green card and pronto children here. She

:14:04. > :14:10.can be cleaned houses but dreams of starting a catering business.

:14:10. > :14:14.TRANSLATION: I like Baltimore. I feel relaxed going to work,

:14:14. > :14:21.shopping or walking around. With or without documents, anybody can go

:14:21. > :14:25.about their business. In recent years, many US states have adopted

:14:25. > :14:30.strict anti-immigration laws. Baltimore is doing the opposite. It

:14:30. > :14:34.promotes itself as immigrant family. Baltimore's Latino population has

:14:34. > :14:39.doubled in the past decade. They have spread out, opening shops,

:14:39. > :14:43.restaurants and stores that cater to the community. Authorities hope

:14:43. > :14:47.that businesses such as these will bring back vigour to the city and

:14:47. > :14:51.revitalise the economy. To create a more welcoming atmosphere, the

:14:51. > :14:59.Mayor has issued an executive order that prohibits local authorities

:14:59. > :15:04.from unwarranted questioning of an individual's immigration status.

:15:04. > :15:09.individual may carry this card. City officials routinely advised

:15:09. > :15:15.police on how to interact with immigrants, resolve language

:15:15. > :15:19.barriers and accept certain forms of foreign IED. It is our goal to

:15:19. > :15:24.attract 10,000 families to the city of Baltimore in the next ten years.

:15:24. > :15:28.We have noticed that the immigrant community is vital to the growth.

:15:28. > :15:32.We want to make sure that those who live here stay here and also become

:15:32. > :15:39.part of the strategy to attract more families. Critics warn

:15:39. > :15:43.Baltimore will become a magnet for undocumented immigrants. But it is

:15:43. > :15:47.also believed that it could produce a safe, Secure and productive

:15:47. > :15:53.environment. After years of anarchy, the next

:15:53. > :15:59.few weeks in Somalia could see the creation of the first normal

:15:59. > :16:05.political institution for the next two decades. A new constitution,

:16:05. > :16:11.parliament and president. In Mogadishu, the tides of economic

:16:11. > :16:16.change are turning. A stunning view, adventurous

:16:16. > :16:21.location, property needs some work. Welcome to Mogadishu - a ruined

:16:21. > :16:25.city in the grip of an unlikely housing boom. This beachfront

:16:26. > :16:30.property is good for a coffee shop or whatever. This man has come back

:16:30. > :16:40.from Britain, looking to invest in Somalia. The estate agent edges

:16:40. > :16:45.speed. Prices are soaring. There are beautiful views. After years of

:16:45. > :16:50.war, it is no longer the guns that a hammering here. A new but fragile

:16:50. > :16:56.stability is luring many exiles back home. Do you think there is

:16:56. > :17:04.money to be made here? I believe so. But it takes a lot of guts to stay

:17:04. > :17:09.in this place. What your family think? They probably think I'm

:17:09. > :17:15.crazy but I will prove them wrong once everything is set up. Last

:17:15. > :17:21.year, we visited Mogadishu at its lowest point. Al-Shabaab controlled

:17:21. > :17:25.half the city. Gunfire and found it was on every street. Today, this

:17:25. > :17:30.feels like a different city. The battle for Moga Bishoo is over.

:17:30. > :17:34.That is given Somalia's endlessly feuding politicians an opportunity

:17:34. > :17:42.to build something that has not existed here for more than 20 years.

:17:42. > :17:48.A functioning state. Building a new army is part of that process.

:17:48. > :17:54.Trained abroad and showing off its new skills here. Stabilising the

:17:54. > :17:58.entire country remains a messy work in progress. But look at this.

:17:58. > :18:03.Electioneering on the streets of Mogadishu. Unimaginable a few

:18:03. > :18:07.months ago. President and parliament are being nominated.

:18:07. > :18:12.people are ready to have a government that serves them. We

:18:12. > :18:16.have had enough of Al-Shabab rule. For the last 20 years we have lived

:18:16. > :18:21.under tyranny and we are ready to form a government that is

:18:21. > :18:26.legitimate and will serve its people. Even if that vote goes

:18:26. > :18:34.smoothly, the tasks ahead are daunting. A lost generation has

:18:34. > :18:44.known nothing but war. TRANSLATION: I have never been to school. Now, I

:18:44. > :18:47.want to get an education and serve my community. Time is short. In

:18:47. > :18:52.Somalia's new leaders stumble, chaos may quickly return to these

:18:52. > :18:57.streets. Today's property boom could be a bubble. Right now, it

:18:57. > :19:03.does not feel that way. For the first time in decades, the optimism

:19:03. > :19:07.might be justified. Staying with Africa, there is

:19:07. > :19:14.growing evidence of what aid agencies call a humanitarian

:19:14. > :19:18.catastrophe in South Sudan. The mortality rate in a refugee camp is

:19:18. > :19:25.substantially over the emergency threshold. More than 100,000

:19:25. > :19:30.Sudanese refugees have arrived and -- in various camps from over the

:19:30. > :19:35.border where a civil raw -- civil war erupted over a year ago.

:19:35. > :19:38.They have come a long way and their troubles are not yet over. The

:19:38. > :19:47.refugees say soldiers chased them from their homes and they ran from

:19:47. > :19:53.the bombs of the Sudanese air force. At the 7,000 arrived in a few weeks.

:19:53. > :19:58.-- 37,000. Now many teeter between life and death. This child's mother

:19:58. > :20:03.managed to get her to this camp but the long, hard march on an empty

:20:03. > :20:07.stomach may prove too much for her. Her mother says it took them six

:20:07. > :20:13.weeks to walk to the camp. They had hardly any water and had to eat

:20:13. > :20:18.leaves to survive. After that, her child became ill. There are many

:20:18. > :20:23.more, young and old. The mortality malnutrition rates have gotten

:20:23. > :20:29.worse in the last few weeks. can't emphasise enough how grave

:20:29. > :20:33.the situation is. It is a humanitarian catastrophe. The

:20:33. > :20:39.Essene rates of the disease at mortality and way beyond emergency

:20:39. > :20:47.levels. This area is known for particularly bad flooding. The

:20:47. > :20:52.first rains have arrived, but the worst is still to come. People are

:20:52. > :20:56.living in nearby areas that do get flooded. They can't escape the rain

:20:56. > :21:01.and when it does come, it is likely that the number of diseases will go

:21:01. > :21:09.up. A simple meal with the family may not seem like much but it means

:21:09. > :21:12.a huge amount. This man says he was tortured by the Sudanese army. The

:21:12. > :21:20.authorities have always denied mistreating civilians. He fled,

:21:20. > :21:26.leaving everything behind. I came with empty hands, and when I came,

:21:26. > :21:36.even my feet were injured. They came slowly, I had no food at all.

:21:36. > :21:37.

:21:37. > :21:43.No water. I even came naked. I had no shoes. His family died on that

:21:44. > :21:48.journey. Another is buried here a short walk from his tent. With
