:00:25. > :00:29.As Greece faces another round of austerity cuts, we meet the young

:00:53. > :00:58.creature in the Pyrenees. Welcome to reporters.

:00:58. > :01:01.Representatives of Greece's international lenders are spending

:01:01. > :01:05.time in Athens to see if they deserve the next instalment of

:01:05. > :01:11.their bail out money. Beagrie government will show them plans for

:01:11. > :01:15.a huge package of spending cuts. -- the Greek government. Pensions are

:01:15. > :01:19.likely to be the hardest hit. We report on the impact of austerity

:01:19. > :01:24.measures. Keeping ajar to confront the

:01:24. > :01:29.challenges ahead. For years, they have put together money for a

:01:29. > :01:33.comfortable old age, but with plans for another cut to pensions,

:01:33. > :01:36.Greece's elderly are being stretched beyond their means.

:01:36. > :01:43.Coffee time at the day centre a used to be a chance to relax, now

:01:43. > :01:48.all the talk is of financial concerns. I am in despair, she says,

:01:48. > :01:54.this cannot go on. My children have no word Mi it -- and no home, and

:01:54. > :01:59.my pension is cut. I dreamt of a different life. What can I say, if

:01:59. > :02:06.they love my pension even more, I may be left with just 100 euros a

:02:06. > :02:10.month. Why should we suffer? Des should help us.

:02:10. > :02:15.Pensioners will feel more pain in the next round of cuts, but in

:02:15. > :02:19.reality, few Greeks will be his bed by the austerity to come. Public

:02:19. > :02:25.sector salaries, social benefits will be slashed to reduce the

:02:25. > :02:30.deficit. And the hardship will hit many, from all too young. The next

:02:30. > :02:33.generation is already feeling the effect. Demand at his foster care

:02:33. > :02:38.home doubled last year for parents no longer able to support their

:02:38. > :02:43.children. She was forced to give up her daughter as the financial

:02:43. > :02:52.crisis deepened. She comes once a week to see her, a snatched moment

:02:52. > :03:00.together. It is hard not to have my daughter alongside me. Where I say

:03:00. > :03:05.goodbye to her, I cried. The house feels empty but there is no other

:03:05. > :03:09.way. The children come here for different reasons, looked after by

:03:09. > :03:16.a surrogate mothers. The fear is that austerity hits harder, numbers

:03:16. > :03:24.will rise. The dramatic changes that I have seen in the society,

:03:24. > :03:27.due to the national crisis, makes me very sad and angry. Seeing these

:03:27. > :03:31.children having to leave their families because their parents can

:03:31. > :03:37.no longer put food on the table. This is something that I would not

:03:37. > :03:41.expect to see. On the suburbs of Athens, the daily food run takes

:03:41. > :03:47.place for the elderly no longer able to afford the basics. This is

:03:47. > :03:52.the story of today's Greece, all generations trapped by the crisis,

:03:52. > :03:56.desperately seeking some way out. Alternative energy policy is one of

:03:57. > :04:02.the many issues raised in the US presidential campaign. Barack Obama

:04:02. > :04:06.put billions of dollars of stimulus money into renewable power, but

:04:06. > :04:10.after some high-profile industry bankruptcies, it has become the

:04:10. > :04:20.focus of Republican attacks. This has raised questions about what

:04:20. > :04:23.

:04:23. > :04:26.renewable energy, like solar power, can really deliver in the future.

:04:26. > :04:31.In the deserts of Southern California, they are assembling

:04:31. > :04:39.solar power on a dramatic scale. Each of these panels will power of

:04:39. > :04:47.one home. It is going to be the biggest thermal solar power plant

:04:47. > :04:51.in the world. These mirrors are being placed, so when they are

:04:51. > :04:57.operational, they will be able to reflect the sun's raised to this

:04:57. > :05:07.huge boiler, which would turn steam into electricity. They will power

:05:07. > :05:10.

:05:10. > :05:16.140,000 homes. Solar power has now spread into the political landscape.

:05:16. > :05:18.This Republican attack and that pinpoints the public money lost on

:05:18. > :05:24.one of the fledgling solar companies that President Obama bet

:05:24. > :05:29.on. It went bankrupt. Some technologies do not pan out. Some

:05:29. > :05:34.companies fail. But I will not walk away from the promise of clean

:05:34. > :05:40.energy. Renewable energy received a lot of economic stimulus money from

:05:40. > :05:50.the government, politicising Sola. The two candidates have different

:05:50. > :05:51.

:05:51. > :05:56.views on energy. We can take advantage of something that is

:05:57. > :06:01.underneath our feet, that is oil, gas, coal. Americans are investing

:06:01. > :06:06.in solar power. New ways of leasing panels, rather than buying them,

:06:06. > :06:11.means that many more households are signing up. We need to save energy

:06:11. > :06:17.for the picture. This is a very cost-effective way to help the

:06:17. > :06:20.environment without adding more to your monthly electricity bill.

:06:20. > :06:27.businesses like Apple, Google and Wal-Mart are doing it on an even

:06:27. > :06:32.bigger scale, and it is making an impact. It is one of the fastest-

:06:32. > :06:38.growing industries. In the last two years, we have doubled employment.

:06:38. > :06:43.Solar is one of the bright spots. There is huge potential out in the

:06:43. > :06:48.desert, and more bigger schemes are planned. That America's new source

:06:48. > :06:53.of power is natural gas, and fretting. It is cheaper, cleaner

:06:53. > :06:58.than Cole, and it will remain -- it will mean that solo ball remain an

:06:58. > :07:02.alternative energy for now. Irish Roman Catholic turning up for

:07:02. > :07:05.a midweek mass have found a shortage of priests have been

:07:05. > :07:11.affecting services. In some parishes, worshippers have had to

:07:11. > :07:21.take the place of the priest due to the falling number. Just 16 young

:07:36. > :07:40.The faithful I gently reforming the Irish Catholic Church. Thank you

:07:40. > :07:50.very much for joining in this morning. The shortage of priests

:07:50. > :07:57.

:07:57. > :08:06.remains that some parishes now lead worship. There is going to be a

:08:06. > :08:15.huge lack of priests, what do you do? I was very apprehensive about

:08:15. > :08:21.it in the beginning. They start looking up you had -- up to you at

:08:21. > :08:29.the bolter. I have taken the place of a priest. I am interested in the

:08:29. > :08:34.role of the laity in the church. I feel terrific. It is a big

:08:34. > :08:40.opportunity for me to work for God. Services like this one are

:08:40. > :08:47.happening quietly, discreetly, in parishes up and down Ireland. While

:08:47. > :08:56.they are not strictly speaking Dr Di it as close as possible as

:08:56. > :09:02.baking get. There are some people not at ease that it is happening at

:09:02. > :09:10.all. When a priest fell ill, she stepped in. She was later a gently

:09:10. > :09:19.reprimanded. But the Church is taking a pragmatic approach to the

:09:19. > :09:25.new services. It can never been seen as a replacement. Even those

:09:25. > :09:32.who attend Mass every day have warmed to the change. It was a

:09:32. > :09:37.shock, but it may be necessary in the future. And we are all part of

:09:37. > :09:44.the Church. The Irish Church hierarchy is unlikely to formalise

:09:44. > :09:52.the services, but they are personal, more intimate, and they are

:09:52. > :09:56.becoming increasingly popular. They will go on regardless.

:09:56. > :10:01.Kashmir has long been a source of tension between Pakistan and India.

:10:01. > :10:05.The recent peace moves are paying dividends. Now hundreds of

:10:05. > :10:12.militancy led to fight in Pakistan are returning home, following an

:10:12. > :10:19.amnesty. But as we found, not everyone is getting a warm welcome.

:10:19. > :10:24.He has traded his gun for a shovel. Once he was a highly trained and

:10:24. > :10:30.motivated militant, wanting to Free Kashmir from Indian rule. Now he is

:10:30. > :10:36.back home, with his children and his Pakistani wife. 16 years after

:10:36. > :10:43.he left to join the insurgency. TRANSLATION: I was trained as a

:10:43. > :10:47.Militant to fight the G Hart. I later realised that it was a sham.

:10:47. > :10:54.In the 1990s, thousands of young men left for Pakistan to take up

:10:54. > :10:58.arms. A dangerous journey through treacherous mountain passes. The

:10:58. > :11:01.Indian and Pakistani armies are locked in confrontation. This is

:11:01. > :11:06.one of the many trails that weight used by the militants during the

:11:06. > :11:15.insurgency. It is one of the shortest routes. Up across the

:11:15. > :11:19.mountains and on to the other side. There, they got training to take on

:11:19. > :11:29.the Indian security forces. Launching audacious attacks like

:11:29. > :11:32.

:11:32. > :11:42.this one. Now one by one, the men who once fought India are returning.

:11:42. > :11:47.Older, wiser, and keen to start again. For 20 years, we were used

:11:47. > :11:50.by both sides, he says, we were caught up. India's security forces

:11:50. > :11:57.still maintain a vigil across the state, but with the militancy

:11:57. > :12:01.almost dead, their numbers are down. It is a fragile peace, part of the

:12:01. > :12:11.reason why India is unwilling to publicly talk about the returning

:12:11. > :12:12.

:12:12. > :12:16.militants. That is something that we would not like to discuss.

:12:16. > :12:21.Across Kashmir, it is not a happy homecoming for those who have

:12:21. > :12:29.returned. They have no jobs, they spent their savings to get here, it

:12:29. > :12:34.is worse. Their wives have had to give up their Pakistani passports.

:12:34. > :12:39.TRANSLATION: If we knew that we were never be allowed to visit our

:12:40. > :12:43.family is, we would never have come here. They were once the heroes of

:12:43. > :12:53.the liberation movement, they kashmir has changed, and they have

:12:53. > :12:56.

:12:56. > :13:01.New technology is helping to transform cemeteries. Simple

:13:01. > :13:04.headstones are being fitted with a electronic chips to insure the

:13:04. > :13:14.memory of the deceased is kept alive for the smart phone

:13:14. > :13:15.

:13:20. > :13:26.this daughter. She has got her son in tow. She is coming to visit her

:13:26. > :13:33.father's grave. He died earlier this year. This Tim is unique. It

:13:33. > :13:40.is equipped with a special stone which uses it according programme

:13:40. > :13:44.downloaded from the Internet. It means that he can scan the chip and

:13:44. > :13:53.view his grandfather's photograph and a summary of his life.

:13:53. > :13:57.TRANSLATION: As a family, it is good. It is not meant as a comfort,

:13:57. > :14:03.more an opportunity to learn his life story. These chips allow

:14:03. > :14:08.ordinary people to leave a legacy for all to see. They could become

:14:38. > :14:39.

:14:39. > :14:47.phrase in the Mori am. It is good and personal way of telling a story.

:14:47. > :14:56.We all have a story. It is very interesting. It makes the visit to

:14:56. > :15:00.the graveyard more interesting. head of the church council has

:15:00. > :15:09.bought several trips to adorn the tombs of local dignitaries who

:15:09. > :15:13.passed away decades ago. This man was the mayor. Obituaries will be a

:15:42. > :15:48.tranquillity will no longer be the resting-place of the bereaved, also

:15:48. > :15:53.the curious. It was one of the most important moment in French history

:15:53. > :16:03.and no one knows for sure where it happened. At the Battle of lies Ila,

:16:03. > :16:05.

:16:05. > :16:09.Julius Caesar beat the Britons. They have opened a centre in

:16:09. > :16:14.Burgundy what they think the battle took place. There is a difference

:16:14. > :16:18.of opinion, some thinking it was closer to the Swiss border. The

:16:18. > :16:23.newest attraction in France marking its old as battle. We did shown

:16:23. > :16:31.what it was like to witness and fight at the siege of the Lyceum.

:16:31. > :16:36.It was supposedly here in Burgundy that the Gauls were beaten by the

:16:36. > :16:43.legions of Julius Caesar. It inspired the nation's collective

:16:43. > :16:49.memory. The creations are impressive and the archaeology

:16:49. > :16:56.seems conclusive. Only one problem. What if the actual battle never

:16:56. > :17:03.took place here at all? 100 miles away, a group of enthusiasts is

:17:03. > :17:08.convinced there has been a massive historical full of. TRANSLATION:

:17:08. > :17:15.Based on a literal reading of the only contemporary source, sees a's

:17:15. > :17:25.on Gallic Wars, they say the site cannot be in Burgundy but his hair,

:17:25. > :17:28.

:17:28. > :17:38.close to the Swiss border. You can see everything like in the text.

:17:38. > :17:41.

:17:41. > :17:46.The hills which are high. The two rivers. Everything is there. It

:17:46. > :17:54.didn't change for 2000 years. They say they found traces of a

:17:54. > :18:01.Roman camp which they are analysing. On the hill itself, the makings of

:18:01. > :18:08.a pre- Roman City Dell. They say this rampart wall was originally

:18:08. > :18:13.ten metres high. They believe the city was originally an extremely

:18:13. > :18:17.important Celtic, Polish city. If that is the case, this place is one

:18:17. > :18:27.of the largest unexplored archaeological sites in Europe. If

:18:27. > :18:35.it were true, it would be amazing. It could be part of a cover-up to

:18:35. > :18:41.protect the official police. For more than a century, statues look

:18:41. > :18:48.out over the plane and the burgundy says. Is this really the place, or

:18:48. > :18:55.great Gaullist chief come of your final annihilation?

:18:55. > :19:00.It is a creature that unfamiliar to many but it ranks as one of you

:19:00. > :19:03.that's would his animal. This small aquatic mammal is found in the

:19:03. > :19:11.mountains that border France and Spain. Scientists know hardly

:19:11. > :19:17.anything about it. On the trail of a creature that only comes out in

:19:17. > :19:27.the dead of night. The Desmond lives in the streams up in the

:19:27. > :19:34.

:19:34. > :19:40.mountains. Tonight, scientists hope Eventually, they strike lucky. He

:19:40. > :19:45.is funny, isn't he? Look at him. He is lovely. It is rare to get up

:19:45. > :19:50.close to a creature like this. Very few people have ever set eyes on

:19:50. > :19:56.one. You can see what a strange little beast it is. It has got this

:19:56. > :20:01.really ought long nose. It is better adapted to swim around. Its

:20:01. > :20:05.feet are large. It can power through the water. It is unlike any

:20:05. > :20:12.other creature in the world. It is a rare chance to study the species

:20:12. > :20:17.of close. We need to find out more about the species. In the last

:20:17. > :20:23.decade, it was not studied. It is still quite unknown. A lot of

:20:23. > :20:28.things to discover. New things every time about this. Very little

:20:28. > :20:34.is understood about the Desmond. Its behaviour, genetics, even how

:20:34. > :20:37.many there are. Scientists do know that it is an ancient species.

:20:37. > :20:43.Millions of years ago, when dinosaurs roamed the earth, there

:20:43. > :20:48.were hundreds of creatures just like it. Now what is the last of

:20:48. > :20:53.its kind. Scientists worry that it, too, may be at risk of dying out.

:20:53. > :20:57.These beautiful mountains are one of the last strongholds for it.

:20:57. > :21:04.Elsewhere in France and Spain, numbers have been badly hit. Water

:21:04. > :21:10.pollution and changes to their habitat are thought to be to blame.

:21:10. > :21:15.It is one of the most wonderful species we have. From an ecological

:21:15. > :21:21.point of view, it would be a disaster for our country, for our

:21:21. > :21:25.society to lose it. These researchers are doing everything

:21:25. > :21:30.they can to shed light on this creature but it is a race against
