could lead to too many people are going to accident and emergency

departments over the bank holiday weekend.

Hello and welcome to Reporters. From here in the world's news room,

we send out correspondence and then you the best stories from around

the globe. This week, life for women under the Muslim Brotherhood

in Egypt. Are scenes like this are seen -- asses like these a sign of

deepening discrimination. This is how bad things are. People are

trying to highlight the issue of sexual assaults against women and

they themselves had been assaulted in demonstrations like this one.

Could Imran Khan's Movement for Justice Party changed the political

landscape? America's water wars. We travel along the Rio Grande to see

how the battle for dwindling water supply is is putting States against

each other. And we take a look at how extreme measures are being

taken to keep humans are sharks a part. Humans are more of a threat

to sharks and the other way around. More shark dive and people are

attacked. It is a thought worth bearing in mind when one is staring

you in the eye. His life for women in Egypt getting

harder under the Muslim Brotherhood? There has been a surge

of protest their after a government minister made obligatory comments

to a female journalist. The remark is being seen as a symbolic act of

content in a country for a 99 % of women report feeling insulted.

Women are often assaulted at public gatherings. Have conditions

worsened under the new leadership? It is a short exchange but one that

has caused outrage. A female reporter asks Egypt's Information

Minister where his media freedom. The Minister replies, come here and

I'll show you. TRANSLATION: I felt shocked, said the reporter involved,

the response was inappropriate for a minister. Clear harassment. Under

the Muslim Brotherhood, women have become objects, nothing more.

many, the moment has encapsulated the attitude of the ruling party

towards women. Things are bad enough. It is all too easy to see

evidence of women being assaulted here. These videos, and there are

many of them, were taken at demonstrations. Oddly from the

protest, women will often tell you that they do not feel safe. This

woman has twice been seriously assaulted on the street. She is now

working to change attitudes among Egyptian men. She says the Muslim

Brotherhood government is sending all the wrong messages.

government keeps silent about these issues. It makes them worse. Men

think they have the right to touch women and do what they want. Even

the clerics see it. Nobody stops them. The area around this bridge

in central Cairo has become a scene of many other attacks against women.

It is an old problem but one which does appear to be on the increase.

When you speak to Egyptian men, like these rickshaw drivers, you

can perhaps see why. The women themselves and social circumstances

are often blamed. As long as a good will be his decently, she won't be

attacked, says this man. She will automatically be harassed she does

not cover up or wears make-up. Men have problems, they are under

pressure, says another. They do not have money, they cannot get married

so of course the harassed woman more. They do not have work. There

have been some demonstrations in support of women's rights. Even

there, there have been problems. It is an indication of just how bad

things are that people trying to highlight the issue of sexual

assaults against them and have themselves been attacked and

assaulted at the demonstrations just like this one. So what does

the Muslim Brotherhood say? This man is a TV host and a member of

the Brotherhood. She says accusations women are worse off

under her party's rule or imagined. This has taken place for 30 years,

Leslie 60 years. -- let's say. Women have some fears. Why do women

feel a fridge right now? There are fears that Egypt on the whole has

not recognise the scale of problems that women are already facing.

Despite the assurances, there are fears that things will get worse.

No mercy, that is South China's president has described his

response to a wave of terror attacks which left more than 20

dead. The violence has highlighted simmering tensions between

indigenous Muslim people and the central government. Our

correspondent has travelled and receive rare access to the reports.

It is an area that is rich in energy and minerals. China is

developing this land fuss. That is causing tensions. We slip past the

checkpoint. The authorities do not want reporters here. The

government's version is that a group of terrorists no inside the

house. Three people were stabbed to death. Others were burnt inside a

room before armed police killed some of them. The scene is cordoned

off. We soon heard a different story. Locals said it was a long-

standing dispute. Government officials were trying to force the

men in a religious family to shave their beards and the women to take

off their veils. Would he denied them -- we have hidden identities

to protect people from government reprisals. TRANSLATION: I saw one

man with a machete. He chased the police into the government compound

and was shot in the leg and fell down. Many police surrounded him.

They stabbed him to death. Three other men had axes and knives and

deeply shocked them too. The police spotted us and told us to leave

town. They said this was the enemies war-zone. What if someone

chops your head of? Go. They are no longer the majority. They feel

their culture is threatened and their villages rights are

restricted by Chinese rule. Outside China, some are preaching holy war.

Speaking Chinese, this man warns that they want a country of their

own and will take up arms. No conclusive evidence that these

groups have mounted attacks. Gen APPLAUSE Priority should be

reducing tension, according to America.

Beijing have been annoyed by this. We do not condone acts of terror.

They are making irresponsible remarks about China's policies.

popular at -- the policies are not popular. Men are only allowed to

grow beards if they are over 40 years old. He has to do what they

say. Forced to leave, we cannot be sure what caused the 21 deaths here.

What we do know is that the violence keeps fleering.

He is probably one of Pakistan's most famous faces but could Imran

Khan, the man who brought such pride to the country on the cricket

field, be the man to change the political landscape of the country?

It took him 17 years to form his party, the Movement for Justice. It

is gaining ground ahead of elections next week. Can the former

sports star deal with the country's troubling combination of terror

attacks, power cuts and inflation? We met him to find out. One more

call before he hits the road. Imran Khan is chasing every vote. The

former cricket star is now his CV is political player. He is seen off

by well-wishers who believe in his promise of a new Pakistan. They

believe in his party, the Movement for Justice. We joined him on the

campaign trail unpin jab, the key battleground. He says voters are

weary of the established parties. - - in Punjab. People have already

decided. They have tried these guys already. I believe that you cannot

fool all the people all the time. He has made corruption an election

issue. He claims most of the political establishment along

behind bars. 80 % of people in high positions in Pakistan are criminals.

I am not exaggerating. I have doubt about the other 20 %, too. 80 % for

sure would be jailed a Western democracy. The Khan roadshow comes

to this town. He has rushed into a rally. One of several each day. He

claims a political tsunami is coming which will sweep him to

power. That is unlikely but he has mobilised a new generation and his

rivals are watching carefully. The message at rallies like this one is

that it is time for change in Pakistan. That has a powerful

appeal, especially with the young. Imran Khan will be relying on them

come polling day. He's a high political

political breakthrough. -- he needs. On stage, the cricket legend

promises to bowl out his opponents. He has also promised to end

corruption in 90 days. Critics say he is naive and dangerous. They say

he is soft on the Taliban. Supporters insist he is their

saviour. We are campaigning for Imran Khan. We love Imran Khan. We

believe that he is the man who can take us from all this crisis.

all these crises. Then Khan was on the road again, heading to the next

rally. When the votes are cast, he could be part of a new coalition

government or a major voice in opposition. Either way, he would be

For the first time, Cuba has allowed some journalists to visit

its prisons. But access for expert monitors, like the Red Cross,

remains barred and activists say hundreds of dissidents still suffer

short-term detention by police every months. We have this rare

glimpse inside Cuba's prisons. A glimpse inside one of Cuba's

high-security prisons. We were allowed in for the first time in

almost a decade to see what conditions are like. It was a talk

clearly decided to make a good impression. The timing just before

a UN review of Cuba's record on human rights. The only way we

entered, prisoners burst into song. -- in the only. Cells were crowded.

what be used for both a toilet and shower here. There's no running

water. But his main concern is the tough sentence he could get.

Several years for what he says was just a few grams of Marijuana.

Getting access to a high-security prison like this one is extremely

rare. The problem is, one of the things Cuba is most criticised for

is that groups like the Red Cross are never allowed in here. And so

there's no regular external scrutiny of conditions. What Cuba

wanted to show us was the training it gives inmates. Practical skills

to help find jobs on the outside. For though it -- those who want can

also take paid work inside prison. What we never saw, though, were the

political detainees. The ladies in white say there are several dozen

on the island. On Sunday, they marched again in Havana like every

week in a silent demand for their release. The UN Human Rights review

will address the issue and the surge in short-term detentions by

police. TRANSLATION: I would say nothing has improved. These days,

people are still being detained for hours or days. But in great numbers.

And just for thinking differently. Behind bars, there are signs that

conditions for non- the loop -- political detainees may be

improving. But it is hard to judge from a carefully choreographed tour.

And the real experts in prison monitoring are still banned from

visiting here. In the south-west region of the US,

states are bidding against each other. The population surge,

combined with one of the worst droughts, has resulted in serious

pressure on supplies. We went on a journey from one end of New Mexico

to the other to see the impact first hand.

Spring in the rookies. Rivers born, noted by melting snow. When there

is not enough snow, the battles begin. The latest over the Rio

Grande is going all the weight of US Supreme Court. Texas is accusing

its neighbour New Mexico of not caring enough of the River's

precious water. The Rio Grande slices New Mexico in two, emerging

from the mountains of Colorado and flowing south all the way to Texas.

Our first spot is here. The gauge measures how much water is flowing

south. Not as much as the state's top water manager would like but he

is adamant New Mexico is meeting its obligations. We argue that New

Mexico has made all of its deliveries for many years. What is

the harm that has come? Other able to show that there has been high

on? 200 miles south and the Rio Grande pauses on its way to Texas.

We are in the middle of a desert. The man-made lake is a great place

to call off but lot of the St farms and cities depend on it as well.

And it is drying up. -- lots of farms and cities. It was last up

there in the late 90s and has declined ever since. If there is a

boarder in this war, then that Dan is it. We are about 100 miles

inside New Mexico. The reservoir, that is New Mexico. But down here

the water in the Rio Grande is already Texan. Further south again

and another 80 miles to the farms around this area. New Mexican

farmers using techs and water. The irrigation ditches should be full

of river water but there is none to be had. If they want to keep their

crops alive for Cup -- crops alive, farmers have to look underground.

Five years ago, after generations of bitter argument, farmers on

either side of the border struck a deal. But then the two states got

involved and this farmer feels betrayed. I am always suspicious

when somebody comes and says they are from the Government. I believe

that most times it is not much of a help, more of a hindrance. On to

the end of the journey. The Texan border town of El Caso. The arid

south-west is the very stuff of American folklore. Water wars are

hardly new. But as the Supreme Court ponders whether to get

involved, the stakes have never been higher. As they say down here,

whisky is for drinking, water is From the dwindling waters of the

Rio Grande day to the deep, blue waters of South Africa's Cape Town,

it has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world and is also

home to a thriving colony of great white sharks. After a series of

attacks, authorities are investing thousands of dollars in a new

scheme to keep humans and sharks apart. We went on a very dangerous

assignment to test it out. Spectacular. Teeming with marine

life, it is is that makes the Western Cape so popular. But

beneath the surface lurks the most feared predator of the deep. The

great white shark. Attracted by plentiful stocks of food and deep

inshore waters. Despite sharp spotters perched high up on the

Hill, five people have been killed here in a little over a decade.

They say these are some of the most dangerous waters in the world. Now,

after years of resistance by conservationists, they are finally
