As Greece faces another round of austerity cuts, we meet the young

and the old whose lives are being blighted by the debt crisis.

Praying without a priest. We find owl and a's shortage means that

-- Island's shortage. They hunt for a very unusual

creature in the Pyrenees. Welcome to reporters.

Representatives of Greece's international lenders are spending

time in Athens to see if they deserve the next instalment of

their bail out money. Beagrie government will show them plans for

a huge package of spending cuts. -- the Greek government. Pensions are

likely to be the hardest hit. We report on the impact of austerity

measures. Keeping ajar to confront the

challenges ahead. For years, they have put together money for a

comfortable old age, but with plans for another cut to pensions,

Greece's elderly are being stretched beyond their means.

Coffee time at the day centre a used to be a chance to relax, now

all the talk is of financial concerns. I am in despair, she says,

this cannot go on. My children have no word Mi it -- and no home, and

my pension is cut. I dreamt of a different life. What can I say, if

they love my pension even more, I may be left with just 100 euros a

month. Why should we suffer? Des should help us.

Pensioners will feel more pain in the next round of cuts, but in

reality, few Greeks will be his bed by the austerity to come. Public

sector salaries, social benefits will be slashed to reduce the

deficit. And the hardship will hit many, from all too young. The next

generation is already feeling the effect. Demand at his foster care

home doubled last year for parents no longer able to support their

children. She was forced to give up her daughter as the financial

crisis deepened. She comes once a week to see her, a snatched moment

together. It is hard not to have my daughter alongside me. Where I say

goodbye to her, I cried. The house feels empty but there is no other

way. The children come here for different reasons, looked after by

a surrogate mothers. The fear is that austerity hits harder, numbers

will rise. The dramatic changes that I have seen in the society,

due to the national crisis, makes me very sad and angry. Seeing these

children having to leave their families because their parents can

no longer put food on the table. This is something that I would not

expect to see. On the suburbs of Athens, the daily food run takes

place for the elderly no longer able to afford the basics. This is

the story of today's Greece, all generations trapped by the crisis,

desperately seeking some way out. Alternative energy policy is one of

the many issues raised in the US presidential campaign. Barack Obama

put billions of dollars of stimulus money into renewable power, but

after some high-profile industry bankruptcies, it has become the

focus of Republican attacks. This has raised questions about what

renewable energy, like solar power, can really deliver in the future.

In the deserts of Southern California, they are assembling

solar power on a dramatic scale. Each of these panels will power of

one home. It is going to be the biggest thermal solar power plant

in the world. These mirrors are being placed, so when they are

operational, they will be able to reflect the sun's raised to this

huge boiler, which would turn steam into electricity. They will power

140,000 homes. Solar power has now spread into the political landscape.

This Republican attack and that pinpoints the public money lost on

one of the fledgling solar companies that President Obama bet

on. It went bankrupt. Some technologies do not pan out. Some

companies fail. But I will not walk away from the promise of clean

energy. Renewable energy received a lot of economic stimulus money from

the government, politicising Sola. The two candidates have different

views on energy. We can take advantage of something that is

underneath our feet, that is oil, gas, coal. Americans are investing

in solar power. New ways of leasing panels, rather than buying them,

means that many more households are signing up. We need to save energy

for the picture. This is a very cost-effective way to help the

environment without adding more to your monthly electricity bill.

businesses like Apple, Google and Wal-Mart are doing it on an even

bigger scale, and it is making an impact. It is one of the fastest-

growing industries. In the last two years, we have doubled employment.

Solar is one of the bright spots. There is huge potential out in the

desert, and more bigger schemes are planned. That America's new source

of power is natural gas, and fretting. It is cheaper, cleaner

than Cole, and it will remain -- it will mean that solo ball remain an

alternative energy for now. Irish Roman Catholic turning up for

a midweek mass have found a shortage of priests have been

take the place of the priest due to the falling number. Just 16 young

The faithful I gently reforming the Irish Catholic Church. Thank you

very much for joining in this morning. The shortage of priests

remains that some parishes now lead worship. There is going to be a

huge lack of priests, what do you do? I was very apprehensive about

it in the beginning. They start looking up you had -- up to you at

the bolter. I have taken the place of a priest. I am interested in the

role of the laity in the church. I feel terrific. It is a big

opportunity for me to work for God. Services like this one are

happening quietly, discreetly, in parishes up and down Ireland. While

they are not strictly speaking Dr Di it as close as possible as

baking get. There are some people not at ease that it is happening at

all. When a priest fell ill, she stepped in. She was later a gently

reprimanded. But the Church is taking a pragmatic approach to the

new services. It can never been seen as a replacement. Even those

who attend Mass every day have warmed to the change. It was a

shock, but it may be necessary in the future. And we are all part of

the Church. The Irish Church hierarchy is unlikely to formalise

the services, but they are personal, more intimate, and they are

becoming increasingly popular. They will go on regardless.

Kashmir has long been a source of tension between Pakistan and India.

The recent peace moves are paying dividends. Now hundreds of

militancy led to fight in Pakistan are returning home, following an

amnesty. But as we found, not everyone is getting a warm welcome.

He has traded his gun for a shovel. Once he was a highly trained and

motivated militant, wanting to Free Kashmir from Indian rule. Now he is

back home, with his children and his Pakistani wife. 16 years after

he left to join the insurgency. TRANSLATION: I was trained as a

Militant to fight the G Hart. I later realised that it was a sham.

In the 1990s, thousands of young men left for Pakistan to take up

arms. A dangerous journey through treacherous mountain passes. The

Indian and Pakistani armies are locked in confrontation. This is

one of the many trails that weight used by the militants during the

insurgency. It is one of the shortest routes. Up across the

mountains and on to the other side. There, they got training to take on

the Indian security forces. Launching audacious attacks like

this one. Now one by one, the men who once fought India are returning.

Older, wiser, and keen to start again. For 20 years, we were used

by both sides, he says, we were caught up. India's security forces

still maintain a vigil across the state, but with the militancy

almost dead, their numbers are down. It is a fragile peace, part of the

reason why India is unwilling to publicly talk about the returning

militants. That is something that we would not like to discuss.

Across Kashmir, it is not a happy homecoming for those who have

returned. They have no jobs, they spent their savings to get here, it

is worse. Their wives have had to give up their Pakistani passports.

father's grave. He died earlier this year. This Tim is unique. It

is equipped with a special stone which uses it according programme

downloaded from the Internet. It means that he can scan the chip and

view his grandfather's photograph and a summary of his life.

TRANSLATION: As a family, it is good. It is not meant as a comfort,

more an opportunity to learn his life story. These chips allow

ordinary people to leave a legacy for all to see. They could become

as natural a part of the death process of leaving a last will and

testament. Centuries-old Mason skills are still employed in

Denmark. The company wants to embrace the cutting edge technology

as well. Audio and video can be stored. They could transform the

people have done in their life. It is important. It gives them another

identity and more value of life. this trend expanse, these oases of

tranquillity will no longer be the resting-place of the bereaved, also

the curious. It was one of the most important moment in French history

and no one knows for sure where it happened. At the Battle of lies Ila,

Julius Caesar beat the Britons. They have opened a centre in

Burgundy what they think the battle took place. There is a difference

of opinion, some thinking it was closer to the Swiss border. The

newest attraction in France marking its old as battle. We did shown

what it was like to witness and fight at the siege of the Lyceum.

It was supposedly here in Burgundy that the Gauls were beaten by the

legions of Julius Caesar. It inspired the nation's collective

memory. The creations are impressive and the archaeology

seems conclusive. Only one problem. What if the actual battle never

took place here at all? 100 miles away, a group of enthusiasts is

convinced there has been a massive historical full of. TRANSLATION:

Based on a literal reading of the only contemporary source, sees a's

close to the Swiss border. You can see everything like in the text.

The hills which are high. The two rivers. Everything is there. It

didn't change for 2000 years. They say they found traces of a

Roman camp which they are analysing. On the hill itself, the makings of

a pre- Roman City Dell. They say this rampart wall was originally

ten metres high. They believe the city was originally an extremely

important Celtic, Polish city. If that is the case, this place is one

of the largest unexplored archaeological sites in Europe. If

it were true, it would be amazing. It could be part of a cover-up to

protect the official police. For more than a century, statues look

out over the plane and the burgundy says. Is this really the place, or

It is a creature that unfamiliar to many but it ranks as one of you

that's would his animal. This small aquatic mammal is found in the

mountains that border France and Spain. Scientists know hardly

anything about it. On the trail of a creature that only comes out in

the dead of night. The Desmond lives in the streams up in the

mountains. Tonight, scientists hope Eventually, they strike lucky. He

is funny, isn't he? Look at him. He is lovely. It is rare to get up

close to a creature like this. Very few people have ever set eyes on

one. You can see what a strange little beast it is. It has got this

really ought long nose. It is better adapted to swim around. Its

feet are large. It can power through the water. It is unlike any

other creature in the world. It is a rare chance to study the species

of close. We need to find out more about the species. In the last

decade, it was not studied. It is still quite unknown. A lot of

things to discover. New things every time about this. Very little

is understood about the Desmond. Its behaviour, genetics, even how

many there are. Scientists do know that it is an ancient species.

Millions of years ago, when dinosaurs roamed the earth, there

were hundreds of creatures just like it. Now what is the last of

its kind. Scientists worry that it, too, may be at risk of dying out.

These beautiful mountains are one of the last strongholds for it.

Elsewhere in France and Spain, numbers have been badly hit. Water

pollution and changes to their habitat are thought to be to blame.

It is one of the most wonderful species we have. From an ecological

point of view, it would be a disaster for our country, for our

society to lose it. These researchers are doing everything

they can to shed light on this creature but it is a race against
