:00:26. > :00:32.is time for reporters. As the UN urges action from Burma's

:00:32. > :00:36.government to end ethnic balance, we get a special report. New rulers

:00:36. > :00:41.take part in China. How the Communist Party is trying to keep

:00:41. > :00:51.pace with change. Why more students are travelling to the Philippines

:00:51. > :00:52.

:00:52. > :00:57.to learn English. Welcome to reporters. The UN Human

:00:57. > :01:01.Rights cheap has urged them are to allow Muslim people to become

:01:01. > :01:07.citizens of Burma. This followed several months of sectarian

:01:07. > :01:14.violence. Their stem as nurses at the heart of two major outbreaks of

:01:14. > :01:22.unrest. 180 people have been killed and more than 110,000 have been

:01:22. > :01:26.forced into makeshift camps. Of Burma will not allow them to become

:01:26. > :01:36.full citizens. Then what it says it can't take any more of them as

:01:36. > :01:40.

:01:40. > :01:45.refugees. Across the great waterways, a wave

:01:45. > :01:55.of hatred is breaking communities apart. There are very few roots

:01:55. > :01:58.

:01:58. > :02:04.here. This is how we reach the remote Muslim fishing village. It

:02:04. > :02:08.is now swollen with 5,000 evacuees. Their homes have been destroyed.

:02:08. > :02:13.Local Buddhists are trying to dry about Muslims they say do not

:02:13. > :02:18.belong in Burma. These Muslim men show us scars from the assault on

:02:18. > :02:28.their village two weeks ago - an assault backed by the police and

:02:28. > :02:28.

:02:28. > :02:38.army. This woman describes the moment her husband was killed by a

:02:38. > :02:48.ball at when he was trying to douse flames on a burning mosque. She

:02:48. > :02:53.

:02:53. > :02:57.despairs of how she and her children will survive. This is a

:02:57. > :03:03.quarter of a nearby town. The Muslims have borne the brunt of the

:03:03. > :03:08.violence. What happened to this village was not a spontaneous

:03:08. > :03:13.outburst of ethnic anger. All the evidence we have heard from victims

:03:13. > :03:18.paints a picture of a planned, organised attack in which security

:03:18. > :03:28.forces at best did nothing and at worst took part. It has pushed

:03:32. > :03:37.Muslims into smaller, ghetto like on clothes. -- conclaves. This part

:03:37. > :03:47.of Burma is already blighted by poverty. Long-established families

:03:47. > :03:54.are not recognised as citizens. right for citizen of this country

:03:54. > :03:59.and that should be law. That policy has encouraged local Buddhists to

:03:59. > :04:03.believe it is okay to expel Muslim neighbours, with whom they had a

:04:03. > :04:10.long list of grievances. At a monastery, I was shown photographs

:04:10. > :04:15.of alleged Muslim atrocities. Muslims accused of trying to

:04:15. > :04:19.outgrew the Muslim -- Buddhist population. We can't expel them all.

:04:19. > :04:25.Those who are legal citizens of Burma can stay here but if they do,

:04:25. > :04:31.they must adapt to our courtship. This is the flipside of Burma's

:04:31. > :04:36.seemingly miraculous transformation. Long repressed fear and intolerance

:04:36. > :04:42.is bubbling to the surface. It drove this 45-year-old from her

:04:42. > :04:52.home and left it to die while sheltering under a building in

:04:52. > :05:00.

:05:00. > :05:05.someone else's village. China's Communist Party is

:05:05. > :05:15.undergoing a change of leadership. This happens once in a decade. For

:05:15. > :05:16.

:05:16. > :05:20.many, the pace of political change has been far too slow.

:05:20. > :05:24.How an old political system is operating within a Changing nation.

:05:24. > :05:28.This was once a place without a name - just a number. So secret, it

:05:28. > :05:35.was not on the maps. It was an industrial zone where armaments

:05:35. > :05:40.were made. Still called District 798, now it is a centre for artists

:05:40. > :05:48.and gallery owners. Young, educated people here feel increasingly that

:05:48. > :05:52.they have opted out of the old communist system altogether. This

:05:52. > :05:58.woman has seen live from both sides. She worked in a missile factory for

:05:58. > :06:03.ten years and is now a writer. think in China, social and economic

:06:03. > :06:09.conflicts have reached a tipping point. We are at a crucial stage

:06:09. > :06:18.now. I think there will be reformed but the pace will not be as quick

:06:18. > :06:23.as people are hoping. I think they will be more protests. From this

:06:23. > :06:29.austere flat in north-west Beijing, the quietly critical thoughts of a

:06:29. > :06:39.famous 23-year-old. Facebook and Twitter are banned here, but on the

:06:48. > :06:57.chatting online about politics and society. When I post something that

:06:57. > :07:05.his sense it, they will have their staff call me saying there is --

:07:05. > :07:13.they are monitoring the site and I can't post that. I think if you

:07:13. > :07:19.can't talk about something, you're not free. The old-style party

:07:19. > :07:23.congress looks amazingly outmoded and up tight. The truth is, the

:07:23. > :07:28.communist system has been pretty sophisticated in allow people

:07:28. > :07:33.greater freedom. Standing here and the great Paul is a powerful

:07:33. > :07:38.reminder that China has always swung between periods of strong

:07:38. > :07:43.central government and periods of decay. Chaos is something that

:07:43. > :07:49.terrifies China's politicians. What are we headed into now? Great

:07:49. > :07:56.strength or greater weakness? In the shadow of the wall, an

:07:56. > :08:00.unexpected figure has opened a small traditional hotel. This man

:08:00. > :08:06.is an American entrepreneur who served as an economic adviser a

:08:06. > :08:14.decade ago to China's then premier. It gives him an unusual insight

:08:14. > :08:19.into Chinese politics. The party's legitimacy will deliver -- continue

:08:19. > :08:23.as long as it is able to deliver growth and prosperity. China's

:08:23. > :08:30.economy is now integrated with the world so China is now beginning to

:08:30. > :08:34.feel the effects of the global financial crisis. There has

:08:34. > :08:40.historically been a pattern to politics here. Revolution,

:08:40. > :08:49.corruption, reform, decay. A new regime will have to find out where

:08:49. > :08:58.in this cycle we are now. In Britain, he is reviled as a

:08:58. > :09:02.traitor, but in Russia he is celebrated as a hero. George Blake

:09:02. > :09:12.recently celebrated his 90th birthday. He gave a rare interview

:09:12. > :09:18.Today he has a Russian home, a Russian wife and even a Russian

:09:18. > :09:24.name. But this is George Blake. The former British intelligence officer

:09:24. > :09:28.with nearly a decade of spying for the Soviets. To mark his birthday,

:09:28. > :09:33.Russian television has been given rare access to one of the most

:09:33. > :09:41.notoriously double agents of the Cold War. I do not see myself as a

:09:41. > :09:46.hero, he says. Or a traitor. He spent three years in captivity in

:09:46. > :09:53.North Korea. By the time he returned to Britain in 1953 he was

:09:53. > :09:59.already a committed communist. He became a KGB agent. He would take

:09:59. > :10:04.the train to the Soviet sector and handover dart on Western

:10:04. > :10:09.intelligence operations. He convinced himself what he was doing

:10:09. > :10:14.was morally right. I did not change sides because of blackmail or

:10:14. > :10:19.torture, he says, I offered my services voluntarily. He probably

:10:19. > :10:23.does not see himself as a traitor because he believes in these things.

:10:23. > :10:27.He would not be aware of a betrayal because he was brainwashed into

:10:28. > :10:35.believing them. But from the UK point of view, he is of course a

:10:35. > :10:39.traitor. He was eventually imprisoned for 42 years. But in

:10:39. > :10:46.1966 he escaped from prison and fled to Moscow. He was hailed as a

:10:46. > :10:49.hero. George Blake claims he handed over the names of hundreds of

:10:49. > :10:56.Western agents to Mossdale. He has shown no remorse and Russia

:10:56. > :11:01.continues to show its gratitude. Vladimir Putin has said his work

:11:01. > :11:06.deserves the highest recognition and respect. Over the years, Mostar

:11:06. > :11:11.has given him plenty of medals. Also, the rank of colonel. The one

:11:11. > :11:19.thing he is missing is communism. He betrayed his country for a

:11:19. > :11:25.political system that has turned out to be a pipe dream.

:11:25. > :11:31.A group of engineers and scientists are trying to put an astronaut into

:11:31. > :11:34.space in Copenhagen. They have a tiny fraction of the funding that

:11:34. > :11:42.space projects get in the United States and Russia. But they believe

:11:42. > :11:46.they can put a person in space. This rusty heart is the unlikely

:11:46. > :11:52.headquarters of Denmark's space programme. It is a place bursting

:11:52. > :11:56.with passion. We have the opportunity to create your own

:11:56. > :12:06.spacecraft and leave Earth. To fly into space. That is what this is

:12:06. > :12:14.

:12:14. > :12:19.about. Nothing else. It is not about money. This is the view from

:12:19. > :12:25.the cramped pod. It has only got room for one. In comparison,

:12:25. > :12:29.Virgin's galactic craft is more comfortable. -- Virgin Galactic's

:12:29. > :12:33.craft. Commercial operations should begin about a year later. The

:12:33. > :12:40.project has cost hundreds of millions of dollars. Their budget

:12:40. > :12:49.is just over $200,000 per year. They are designing everything.

:12:49. > :12:55.we have here is our crash-test dummy. He has flown two times. Last

:12:55. > :13:02.time he actually lost a leg. But that is why we fly a crash-test

:13:02. > :13:08.dummy and not a person. The Danish rocket men say their launchers so

:13:08. > :13:18.far have achieved a 95% of their objectives. But they estimate it

:13:18. > :13:22.

:13:22. > :13:26.astronaut 100 kilometres into the sky. The final lift off. Now that

:13:26. > :13:31.the space shuttle has flown into retirement, America no longer has a

:13:31. > :13:38.vehicle capable of putting a person into orbit. Largely because of

:13:38. > :13:44.financial constraints. This venture is reliant on sponsors and

:13:44. > :13:49.donations. Justifiably, one of the test capsules has pride of place in

:13:49. > :13:53.Copenhagen's planetarium. It is very inspirational. Even something

:13:53. > :14:00.as difficult as space flight can be attempted and succeeded by doing

:14:00. > :14:06.things the simple way. Other space agencies should learn lessons from

:14:06. > :14:10.this. They should be more innovator. They believe they have already

:14:10. > :14:18.created a bit of history. But they have a significant for to iron out.

:14:18. > :14:22.That is to make sure the parachutes open.

:14:22. > :14:27.He is a difficult question - where in the world today speak English

:14:27. > :14:31.than just about anywhere else? Believe it or not, it is said to be

:14:31. > :14:35.the Philippines. The government says it is the third biggest

:14:35. > :14:40.English-language speaking country. Students look for cheaper ways to

:14:40. > :14:50.learn the language. The number of English Schools is expanding every

:14:50. > :14:55.

:14:55. > :15:03.year. English has been learned in the

:15:03. > :15:07.Philippine capital of Manila. He is in -- from Saudi Arabia, but his

:15:07. > :15:11.classmates are from all over the world. They are here because they

:15:11. > :15:20.can get good quality teaching for a fraction of what it would cost in

:15:20. > :15:29.America or the United Kingdom. learn English and to get to accent

:15:29. > :15:35.better. I have friends and here, European or American friends who

:15:35. > :15:41.are trying to understand by language. There are about 100

:15:41. > :15:44.million people in the Philippines. English. The government proudly

:15:44. > :15:49.states that this is the third- largest English-speaking nation in

:15:49. > :15:53.the world. Filipinos first learned English when their country was a US

:15:53. > :16:01.Connolly. Thousands of Americans were sent here to teach them.

:16:01. > :16:07.People speak the same language today. Almost. Can I have a coconut,

:16:07. > :16:11.please? Just one. That kind of English he just spoke here is

:16:11. > :16:17.typical throughout the Philippines. It is English with the local

:16:17. > :16:21.language mixed in. It makes it quite difficult for foreigners who

:16:21. > :16:25.are studying English year to know what is English and what is

:16:25. > :16:30.Philippines English. But this has not deterred people from coming

:16:30. > :16:33.here. Every year the number of foreign students goes up.

:16:33. > :16:40.Immigration data shows there are three times as many now as there

:16:40. > :16:45.were just three years ago. The Philippines does not just attract

:16:45. > :16:52.students who want to learn English. This woman already speaks it. She

:16:52. > :16:58.has come from Russia to do an engineering degree. The language is

:16:58. > :17:03.not a problem. Top degrees are taught entirely in English. It is

:17:03. > :17:07.much better then compare to other countries. I have also tried out

:17:07. > :17:13.Australia and New Zealand. But it is too much. By parents cannot

:17:13. > :17:20.afford it. Do you think the education level is the same? It is

:17:20. > :17:24.very good. The education here is very good. Her lecturers are also

:17:24. > :17:30.confident. This university from the police its teaching can match up to

:17:30. > :17:34.that anywhere in the world. -- family believes. But it is just a

:17:34. > :17:40.quarter of the price of other she looked at. She is unlikely to be

:17:40. > :17:50.the only foreigner in this class. We accept more and more foreign

:17:50. > :17:50.

:17:51. > :17:55.students. We are on the radar. This is a big potential. The country

:17:55. > :18:00.should come up with more focused marketing for it. The cost of being

:18:01. > :18:08.a student is increasing worldwide. Not just the costs, but also the

:18:08. > :18:12.living expenses and equipment. In many countries it is becoming

:18:12. > :18:17.harder for graduates to find a job. It is not surprising that more

:18:17. > :18:23.people are looking for the afield. Especially English language

:18:23. > :18:28.countries like the Philippines. In Egypt, animal protection

:18:28. > :18:32.officials have released into the wild 11 falcons that were found

:18:32. > :18:35.drug and we did in the suitcase of a smuggler at Cairo airport. The

:18:35. > :18:44.authorities say the smuggler was trying to take the birds to the

:18:44. > :18:48.Gulf states were they can be sold for as much as $24,000. We went to

:18:48. > :18:53.see them being released. Caged and can find, but not for

:18:53. > :18:57.much longer. In the fight against the hunting and smuggling of rare

:18:57. > :19:02.and endangered roads and animals, the story of these falcons is one

:19:02. > :19:09.of rescue. They were found in a routine baggage security check at

:19:09. > :19:14.Cairo airport. They were packed in a suitcase. These magnificent

:19:14. > :19:21.predators have been nursed back to health and are currently attacked.

:19:21. > :19:27.When we released them today, do you think they will stay free? Yes.

:19:27. > :19:31.This area is protected. Nobody can get them again. He if they had not

:19:31. > :19:39.been found they would be on their way to the Arab states where they

:19:39. > :19:44.are symbols of prestige for the wealthy. Worth as much as $24,000.

:19:44. > :19:50.TRANSLATION: As long as there are people who know how to track these

:19:50. > :19:54.creatures, as long as there are people who can sell them or buy

:19:54. > :20:02.them, the hunters will try again and again. A these falcons will

:20:02. > :20:07.return to the wild, to enjoy the great annual migration. We are at a

:20:07. > :20:12.sacred spot in the Egyptian desert. The location has been changed for

:20:13. > :20:15.security reasons. This is a victory for conservation. The legal

:20:15. > :20:22.trappers to hunt these beautiful predators are still out there

:20:22. > :20:27.somewhere. After a month of treatment in the cages, the first

:20:32. > :20:42.the natural aristocrats of the skies. For the smugglers to trap

:20:42. > :20:42.

:20:42. > :20:48.and smell them, these are rich pickings in a poor country. If the

:20:48. > :20:56.country provides other means of living, it is better. But it comes
