within the month. Those are the latest headlines. It

is time for reporters. As the UN urges action from Burma's

government to end ethnic balance, we get a special report. New rulers

take part in China. How the Communist Party is trying to keep

pace with change. Why more students are travelling to the Philippines

to learn English. Welcome to reporters. The UN Human

Rights cheap has urged them are to allow Muslim people to become

citizens of Burma. This followed several months of sectarian

violence. Their stem as nurses at the heart of two major outbreaks of

unrest. 180 people have been killed and more than 110,000 have been

forced into makeshift camps. Of Burma will not allow them to become

full citizens. Then what it says it can't take any more of them as

refugees. Across the great waterways, a wave

of hatred is breaking communities apart. There are very few roots

here. This is how we reach the remote Muslim fishing village. It

is now swollen with 5,000 evacuees. Their homes have been destroyed.

Local Buddhists are trying to dry about Muslims they say do not

belong in Burma. These Muslim men show us scars from the assault on

their village two weeks ago - an assault backed by the police and

army. This woman describes the moment her husband was killed by a

ball at when he was trying to douse flames on a burning mosque. She

despairs of how she and her children will survive. This is a

quarter of a nearby town. The Muslims have borne the brunt of the

violence. What happened to this village was not a spontaneous

outburst of ethnic anger. All the evidence we have heard from victims

paints a picture of a planned, organised attack in which security

forces at best did nothing and at worst took part. It has pushed

Muslims into smaller, ghetto like on clothes. -- conclaves. This part

of Burma is already blighted by poverty. Long-established families

are not recognised as citizens. right for citizen of this country

and that should be law. That policy has encouraged local Buddhists to

believe it is okay to expel Muslim neighbours, with whom they had a

long list of grievances. At a monastery, I was shown photographs

of alleged Muslim atrocities. Muslims accused of trying to

outgrew the Muslim -- Buddhist population. We can't expel them all.

Those who are legal citizens of Burma can stay here but if they do,

they must adapt to our courtship. This is the flipside of Burma's

seemingly miraculous transformation. Long repressed fear and intolerance

is bubbling to the surface. It drove this 45-year-old from her

home and left it to die while sheltering under a building in

someone else's village. China's Communist Party is

undergoing a change of leadership. This happens once in a decade. For

many, the pace of political change has been far too slow.

How an old political system is operating within a Changing nation.

This was once a place without a name - just a number. So secret, it

was not on the maps. It was an industrial zone where armaments

were made. Still called District 798, now it is a centre for artists

and gallery owners. Young, educated people here feel increasingly that

they have opted out of the old communist system altogether. This

woman has seen live from both sides. She worked in a missile factory for

ten years and is now a writer. think in China, social and economic

conflicts have reached a tipping point. We are at a crucial stage

now. I think there will be reformed but the pace will not be as quick

as people are hoping. I think they will be more protests. From this

austere flat in north-west Beijing, the quietly critical thoughts of a

famous 23-year-old. Facebook and Twitter are banned here, but on the

Chinese equivalent, Spurs and has nearly $6 million. People were

chatting online about politics and society. When I post something that

his sense it, they will have their staff call me saying there is --

they are monitoring the site and I can't post that. I think if you

can't talk about something, you're not free. The old-style party

congress looks amazingly outmoded and up tight. The truth is, the

communist system has been pretty sophisticated in allow people

greater freedom. Standing here and the great Paul is a powerful

reminder that China has always swung between periods of strong

central government and periods of decay. Chaos is something that

terrifies China's politicians. What are we headed into now? Great

strength or greater weakness? In the shadow of the wall, an

unexpected figure has opened a small traditional hotel. This man

is an American entrepreneur who served as an economic adviser a

decade ago to China's then premier. It gives him an unusual insight

into Chinese politics. The party's legitimacy will deliver -- continue

as long as it is able to deliver growth and prosperity. China's

economy is now integrated with the world so China is now beginning to

feel the effects of the global financial crisis. There has

historically been a pattern to politics here. Revolution,

corruption, reform, decay. A new regime will have to find out where

in this cycle we are now. In Britain, he is reviled as a

traitor, but in Russia he is celebrated as a hero. George Blake

recently celebrated his 90th birthday. He gave a rare interview

Today he has a Russian home, a Russian wife and even a Russian

name. But this is George Blake. The former British intelligence officer

with nearly a decade of spying for the Soviets. To mark his birthday,

Russian television has been given rare access to one of the most

notoriously double agents of the Cold War. I do not see myself as a

hero, he says. Or a traitor. He spent three years in captivity in

North Korea. By the time he returned to Britain in 1953 he was

already a committed communist. He became a KGB agent. He would take

the train to the Soviet sector and handover dart on Western

intelligence operations. He convinced himself what he was doing

was morally right. I did not change sides because of blackmail or

torture, he says, I offered my services voluntarily. He probably

does not see himself as a traitor because he believes in these things.

He would not be aware of a betrayal because he was brainwashed into

believing them. But from the UK point of view, he is of course a

traitor. He was eventually imprisoned for 42 years. But in

1966 he escaped from prison and fled to Moscow. He was hailed as a

hero. George Blake claims he handed over the names of hundreds of

Western agents to Mossdale. He has shown no remorse and Russia

continues to show its gratitude. Vladimir Putin has said his work

deserves the highest recognition and respect. Over the years, Mostar

has given him plenty of medals. Also, the rank of colonel. The one

thing he is missing is communism. He betrayed his country for a

political system that has turned out to be a pipe dream.

A group of engineers and scientists are trying to put an astronaut into

space in Copenhagen. They have a tiny fraction of the funding that

space projects get in the United States and Russia. But they believe

they can put a person in space. This rusty heart is the unlikely

headquarters of Denmark's space programme. It is a place bursting

with passion. We have the opportunity to create your own

spacecraft and leave Earth. To fly into space. That is what this is

about. Nothing else. It is not about money. This is the view from

the cramped pod. It has only got room for one. In comparison,

Virgin's galactic craft is more comfortable. -- Virgin Galactic's

craft. Commercial operations should begin about a year later. The

project has cost hundreds of millions of dollars. Their budget

is just over $200,000 per year. They are designing everything.

we have here is our crash-test dummy. He has flown two times. Last

time he actually lost a leg. But that is why we fly a crash-test

dummy and not a person. The Danish rocket men say their launchers so

far have achieved a 95% of their objectives. But they estimate it

astronaut 100 kilometres into the sky. The final lift off. Now that

the space shuttle has flown into retirement, America no longer has a

vehicle capable of putting a person into orbit. Largely because of

financial constraints. This venture is reliant on sponsors and

donations. Justifiably, one of the test capsules has pride of place in

Copenhagen's planetarium. It is very inspirational. Even something

as difficult as space flight can be attempted and succeeded by doing

things the simple way. Other space agencies should learn lessons from

this. They should be more innovator. They believe they have already

created a bit of history. But they have a significant for to iron out.

That is to make sure the parachutes open.

He is a difficult question - where in the world today speak English

than just about anywhere else? Believe it or not, it is said to be

the Philippines. The government says it is the third biggest

English-language speaking country. Students look for cheaper ways to

learn the language. The number of English Schools is expanding every

year. English has been learned in the

Philippine capital of Manila. He is in -- from Saudi Arabia, but his

classmates are from all over the world. They are here because they

can get good quality teaching for a fraction of what it would cost in

America or the United Kingdom. learn English and to get to accent

better. I have friends and here, European or American friends who

are trying to understand by language. There are about 100

million people in the Philippines. English. The government proudly

states that this is the third- largest English-speaking nation in

the world. Filipinos first learned English when their country was a US

Connolly. Thousands of Americans were sent here to teach them.

People speak the same language today. Almost. Can I have a coconut,

please? Just one. That kind of English he just spoke here is

typical throughout the Philippines. It is English with the local

language mixed in. It makes it quite difficult for foreigners who

are studying English year to know what is English and what is

Philippines English. But this has not deterred people from coming

here. Every year the number of foreign students goes up.

Immigration data shows there are three times as many now as there

were just three years ago. The Philippines does not just attract

students who want to learn English. This woman already speaks it. She

has come from Russia to do an engineering degree. The language is

not a problem. Top degrees are taught entirely in English. It is

much better then compare to other countries. I have also tried out

Australia and New Zealand. But it is too much. By parents cannot

afford it. Do you think the education level is the same? It is

very good. The education here is very good. Her lecturers are also

confident. This university from the police its teaching can match up to

that anywhere in the world. -- family believes. But it is just a

quarter of the price of other she looked at. She is unlikely to be

the only foreigner in this class. We accept more and more foreign

students. We are on the radar. This is a big potential. The country

should come up with more focused marketing for it. The cost of being

a student is increasing worldwide. Not just the costs, but also the

living expenses and equipment. In many countries it is becoming

harder for graduates to find a job. It is not surprising that more

people are looking for the afield. Especially English language

countries like the Philippines. In Egypt, animal protection

officials have released into the wild 11 falcons that were found

drug and we did in the suitcase of a smuggler at Cairo airport. The

authorities say the smuggler was trying to take the birds to the

Gulf states were they can be sold for as much as $24,000. We went to

see them being released. Caged and can find, but not for

much longer. In the fight against the hunting and smuggling of rare

and endangered roads and animals, the story of these falcons is one

of rescue. They were found in a routine baggage security check at

Cairo airport. They were packed in a suitcase. These magnificent

predators have been nursed back to health and are currently attacked.

When we released them today, do you think they will stay free? Yes.

This area is protected. Nobody can get them again. He if they had not

been found they would be on their way to the Arab states where they

are symbols of prestige for the wealthy. Worth as much as $24,000.

TRANSLATION: As long as there are people who know how to track these

creatures, as long as there are people who can sell them or buy

them, the hunters will try again and again. A these falcons will

return to the wild, to enjoy the great annual migration. We are at a

sacred spot in the Egyptian desert. The location has been changed for

security reasons. This is a victory for conservation. The legal

trappers to hunt these beautiful predators are still out there

somewhere. After a month of treatment in the cages, the first

flaps of fr flaps of fr a little uncertain. But the Falcon is one of

the natural aristocrats of the skies. For the smugglers to trap

and smell them, these are rich pickings in a poor country. If the

country provides other means of living, it is better. But it comes
