Now on BBC News it's time for Welcome. We send out correspondent

:00:28.:00:31.

to the knee the best stories from across the globe. In this week's

:00:31.:00:40.

programme: We are one of the first Western journalists to visit his

:00:40.:00:48.

prison in Cuba. Were due shackle someone if they were up... Those

:00:48.:00:54.

are humane restraint. The call of the wild, we investigate whether

:00:54.:00:58.

wolves and bears should be reintroduced in the UK to keep down

:00:58.:01:04.

numbers of other animals. People will not want to have wolves in

:01:04.:01:10.

Wales or in Scotland. I'm not saying they are no danger. But they

:01:10.:01:18.

have been exaggerated. And eight years of an American classic, we

:01:18.:01:24.

investigate whether nostalgia for the drive-in movie still lives on.

:01:24.:01:28.

Never before has so many seen the crowning. The coronation that

:01:28.:01:32.

altered the face of British broadcasting. We look back at the

:01:32.:01:39.

friend, 60 years ago, which changed the nation and the BBC. The camera

:01:39.:01:43.

was up here, above the choir screen because it is from up here but you

:01:43.:01:47.

get the possible -- best possible view of what they called at the

:01:47.:01:52.

Coronation theatre. It is the longest hunger strike in

:01:52.:01:59.

Guantanamo Bay's history. More than 100 detainees, more than half of

:01:59.:02:05.

them, have been refusing food since February. Around 40 Abbey force-fed.

:02:05.:02:11.

It has galvanised criticism on America's human rights records and

:02:11.:02:15.

has left President Obama reaffirm his election pledge to close the

:02:15.:02:20.

facility. But there is still no date as to when it will close. Our

:02:20.:02:24.

reporter is one of the first Western journalist to visit the

:02:24.:02:30.

cancer since the mass protests began. He sent his report.

:02:30.:02:33.

The start of another day at one of the world's most infamous jails,

:02:33.:02:38.

Guantanamo, still here after more than a decade. Inside, no sign of

:02:38.:02:48.
:02:48.:02:53.

any let up with prisoners locked up for 22 hours a day.. Most are also

:02:53.:02:58.

now on hunger strike. We were shown around by guards who did not want

:02:58.:03:03.

to be identified. It is a place where nothing is quite as it seems.

:03:03.:03:13.
:03:13.:03:14.

Do you shackle somebody? Those are humane restraints. They looked like

:03:14.:03:19.

shackles. It is a humane restraint. Force-feeding also is a term that

:03:19.:03:25.

is avoided. Instead they call this enteral feeding, inserting a tube

:03:25.:03:28.

through a prisoner's nose and down to their stomach. You call it

:03:28.:03:35.

enteral feeding. Yes.I call it force feeding. It is a bit of

:03:35.:03:42.

semantics. It is a medical procedure. We do this to regular

:03:42.:03:45.

patients in regular hospitals who need to be fed. Call it what you

:03:45.:03:50.

like. 41 detainees are now being fed this way twice a day,

:03:50.:03:55.

restrained in the chair to ensure they survive. It is now a war of

:03:55.:03:59.

wills, defiant detainees met with an equally firm hand. The old

:03:59.:04:02.

privileges of communal living have been withdrawn from all but the

:04:02.:04:09.

most compliant. We would lock them out so we can sanitise and secure

:04:09.:04:19.
:04:19.:04:19.

those yards. They are making noise about something. Life is not too

:04:19.:04:26.

happy at the moment. At least with one detainee. That is one?It is. I

:04:27.:04:32.

do not know who it is. You are welcome to look into the cell.

:04:32.:04:35.

sense the tensions are high behind the razor wire fences. On this

:04:35.:04:39.

visit, we have been kept well away from the prisoners that are locked

:04:39.:04:49.
:04:49.:04:53.

up inside, but we have occasionally heard their protests. Why do you

:04:53.:04:58.

think they are on hunger strike? Their initial issues had to do with

:04:58.:05:06.

some changes in camp rules. Their primary issue is they want to go

:05:06.:05:12.

home. No-one here knows how this hunger strike will end. Or whether

:05:12.:05:15.

President Obama will finally be able to deliver on his promise to

:05:15.:05:25.
:05:25.:05:26.

close down this prison. Imagine a walk in the British

:05:26.:05:31.

countryside any come across a dwarf, a moose, or a bear. Well be his

:05:31.:05:36.

aggressive predators were pretty common in ancient times until human

:05:36.:05:43.

beings can sue predicted extinction in the UK. -- contributed to death.

:05:43.:05:48.

But some are suggesting to bring them back. It involves returning UN

:05:48.:05:52.

productive farmland back to the wild and encouraging nature to take

:05:52.:06:02.
:06:02.:06:05.

over. To most of us, the upper and moors

:06:05.:06:15.

are Britain at its most majestic. A magnificent natural landscape, one

:06:15.:06:23.

of our nation's last unspoiled all bonuses. But a growing campaign

:06:23.:06:27.

seeks to transform these landscapes forever, turning Britain's more

:06:27.:06:35.

land into this. This process is being called three Wilding, and to

:06:35.:06:40.

let nature take control the landscape. Torn out ancient

:06:40.:06:46.

ecosystems like this one to reassert themselves. Britain's

:06:46.:06:54.

chief of this is this man. The wet winter and here is massive

:06:54.:06:57.

deforestation in the 19th century for lead mining and farming after

:06:57.:07:03.

that. Trees were but read -- were repeatedly cuts and burns. It is a

:07:03.:07:09.

barren landscape. Would she have here is typical of the tapper of

:07:09.:07:14.

the just Jewish -- vegetation that you get all over the world from

:07:14.:07:20.

repeated deforestation. In Britain, we think this is what we want to

:07:20.:07:25.

preserve. In the management plan that they describe trees as

:07:25.:07:30.

undesirable. His example of what needs to happen is woodland like

:07:30.:07:37.

this. 20 years ago, at this was open up more land. Already, we can

:07:37.:07:42.

see this transformation. It was bleak and barren, very little was

:07:42.:07:47.

living here. Now we have the trees, the insects that are coming in, the

:07:47.:07:51.

birds eating the insects, and the story things are beginning to grow.

:07:51.:07:57.

The woodland on the whole is much richer and by a diverse. It has

:07:57.:08:05.

cover which is something bat species need. But creating places

:08:05.:08:09.

like this means making some profound changes to the way land in

:08:09.:08:19.
:08:19.:08:20.

Britain is managed, starting by getting rid of these animals. He

:08:20.:08:26.

seemed to have a bit of a problem with sheep. They are the white

:08:26.:08:36.
:08:36.:08:36.

plague of. The shape have been meted out entire ecosystem here.

:08:36.:08:41.

They have reduced it to a bowling green with contours. This was a

:08:41.:08:47.

very rich, abundant ecosystem with a great diversity of species.

:08:47.:08:51.

people are saying you are being naive. Sheaves are here for

:08:51.:09:01.

economic reasons. I understand that. We are paying for it.

:09:01.:09:06.

Not surprisingly, these ideas are proving to be very controversial,

:09:06.:09:12.

especially with those who have most to lose. Like sheep farmers. We are

:09:12.:09:16.

producing food for the population of these tales. No other animal can

:09:16.:09:21.

do that. That is why there are sheep farmers in the hills of Wales.

:09:21.:09:26.

He says if he were to get rid of the ship and reintroduce some of

:09:26.:09:30.

the old trees and stuff they used to grow up there, he would have a

:09:30.:09:40.
:09:40.:09:41.

much richer ecosystem. population has grown substantially.

:09:41.:09:47.

As farmers, we have a job to feed the ever-increasing population. A

:09:47.:09:53.

lot of these academics, they are very intelligent but they do not

:09:53.:09:58.

have much common sense. They are out of touch. That is coming from a

:09:58.:10:03.

practical farmer. If you try to live in Wales, they could not hack

:10:03.:10:11.

it. We are producing food. irony is, the landscape that he

:10:11.:10:16.

described as a barren desert is actually a nature reserve. It is

:10:16.:10:20.

funded by public money and is regarded by many as one of Wales's

:10:20.:10:28.

jewels. It is standing back and letting something go. This woman is

:10:28.:10:33.

responsible for managing displays. She is the head of the Wildlife

:10:33.:10:43.

Trust. Where are we now? George says we Africa shares in tears as a

:10:43.:10:47.

woodenness. But the real world and has, thousands of years ago, would

:10:47.:10:52.

have looked completely different. We can never go back to what George

:10:52.:10:57.

has been fantasising about. He seemed to be saying that short

:10:57.:11:01.

involves human intervention. George says we can stand back and let the

:11:01.:11:05.

ecosystems to it themselves. That is the traditional view of

:11:05.:11:15.
:11:15.:11:15.

wild. It is not appropriate to the UK landscape. Why not?Spaces like

:11:15.:11:21.

this play a huge and important function for society. The three let

:11:21.:11:26.

his area go completely back to tree cover, for example, this will dry

:11:26.:11:30.

up. Where will we be? We would not be able to store water. We would

:11:30.:11:35.

not be able to clean water. Stallone will begin to erode.

:11:35.:11:45.
:11:45.:11:45.

way in Britain, not just with walls, but other mammals who have been

:13:03.:13:13.
:13:13.:13:15.

introduced. I am hoping that we will get something.

:13:15.:13:20.

Not as frightening as wards perhaps, but talk of the reintroduction of

:13:21.:13:25.

beavers has been very controversial. They have already been released in

:13:25.:13:34.

Scotland. But there will be no greedy here. The aim is to provide

:13:34.:13:41.

evidence of the effect they have on the local environment. What I want

:13:41.:13:51.
:13:51.:13:52.

to see is the restitution of those exciting, dynamic relationships.

:13:52.:13:56.

What about the introduction of dangerous predators? People do not

:13:56.:14:02.

want to have walls here or in Scotland. The danger has been

:14:02.:14:08.

exaggerated. He wants to prompt a national debate about what it is we

:14:09.:14:18.

are trying to conserve. In short, how wild should Britain's

:14:18.:14:26.

Wilderness B? It is as much a part of the US as

:14:26.:14:31.

brokers and fries and apple pie. That great American classic, the

:14:31.:14:36.

drive in, has been celebrating its 80th anniversary. They have

:14:36.:14:42.

provided generations of moviegoers with a unique film experience. The

:14:42.:14:46.

heyday was in the 1950s. Even now, in the days of home cinema and

:14:46.:14:55.

cramped cars, a few still survive. Nothing beats Mr Elder.

:14:55.:15:04.

Passionate nostalgia. The Hyde Park Drive Park in upstate New York Mac.

:15:04.:15:09.

The striving opened in 19 dhoti three. Today, nostalgia is

:15:09.:15:14.

definitely a draw. A grandfather used to take me back when I was my

:15:14.:15:24.
:15:24.:15:25.

son's age. It is kind of a tradition. It has been immortalised

:15:25.:15:31.

in pop culture. Moviegoers see it as a very American institution.

:15:31.:15:39.

Absolutely. It goes back to brokers, fries and apple pies. Drive-ins

:15:40.:15:48.

took off in post-World War to America. They proliferated rapidly.

:15:48.:15:52.

There was a convergence of social, cultural and technological things

:15:52.:15:57.

that happened. Americans that had new babies, cars, looking for

:15:57.:16:01.

entertainment. They were the perfect blend of that. The routine

:16:01.:16:08.

is always the same. At sundown it is returned. People listen to the

:16:08.:16:17.

soundtrack on the radio. Charles Smith believes the growth in is a

:16:17.:16:23.

bargain. The price of admission is just $9 per passenger. You get a

:16:23.:16:30.

double feature, come and get some food in between. Drive-ins began to

:16:30.:16:35.

decline in the 70s and 80s for a variety of reasons. One of them was

:16:35.:16:41.

the advent of home entertainment. But also, the move to more compact,

:16:41.:16:46.

fuel-efficient vehicles meant going to the drive in in a spacious car

:16:46.:16:51.

was not a comfortable experience. Another concerns that Hollywood

:16:51.:16:58.

studios will no longer sent out their films. Drive-ins are being

:16:58.:17:06.

forced to make expensive upgrades to digital projection models.

:17:06.:17:14.

will no longer be in business that the end of 2013. What may help is

:17:14.:17:18.

that older Americans, driven by nostalgia, are returning to the

:17:18.:17:22.

drive-in. Young people are apparently becoming converted to

:17:22.:17:30.

the experience when they sample it. That could be good for business.

:17:30.:17:37.

From the big screen to the small screen. On the 2nd June, 1953, an

:17:37.:17:41.

estimated 27 million people across Britain crowded around the

:17:41.:17:46.

television sets to watch the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.

:17:46.:17:50.

It was the first time the majority of the nation watched an event live

:17:50.:17:55.

on television. Thousands produced the first television sets to see it.

:17:55.:17:59.

We look back at the event 60 years ago that changed the face of

:17:59.:18:09.
:18:09.:18:11.

British broadcasting forever. The BBC had never done a greater

:18:11.:18:16.

television broadcast with such a significance for the monarchy and

:18:16.:18:20.

television itself. The pomp and ceremony inside must minster Abbey

:18:21.:18:25.

were extraordinary. Most people had never seen anything like it, even

:18:25.:18:35.
:18:35.:18:39.

in black and white. You have got that awful union jack outfit on.

:18:39.:18:42.

The whole street gathered for the Coronation broadcast. Nearly 40

:18:42.:18:45.

people clustered around a single set. Among them, these siblings.It

:18:45.:18:49.

was quite unusual to see that. to bring it into your home, really.

:18:49.:18:53.

The man in charge of the TV coverage called the shots from a

:18:53.:18:59.

temporary control room. Today, at the age of 92, he recalls they had

:18:59.:19:04.

to lobby intensely for permission. The Archbishop of Canterbury had

:19:04.:19:09.

opposed the idea of letting the cameras in. The broadcast stretched

:19:09.:19:14.

the BBC's resources to the limit. Every camera was pressed into

:19:14.:19:24.
:19:24.:19:24.

service. It was always breaking down. We only had 300 feet of cable.

:19:24.:19:29.

If it rained, it nearly always broke down. On the day, I do not

:19:29.:19:34.

know if someone was looking out for us, nothing broke down. And it was

:19:34.:19:41.

raining. There was little space to squeeze in the BBC's cameras. Just

:19:41.:19:45.

five of them. The smallest cameraman was wedged in next to the

:19:45.:19:52.

orchestra. The camera was up here, above the choir screen, because

:19:52.:19:55.

from up here you get the best possible view of what they called

:19:55.:20:04.

the Coronation Theatre, the central area of the Abbey. Our Queen starts

:20:04.:20:10.

her journey from Buckingham Palace... In 1952, Sylvia Peters

:20:10.:20:14.

was a young announcer. She has now recorded the introduction of a

:20:14.:20:22.

digitally remastered version of the coverage. We felt it was history.

:20:22.:20:26.

We were making history. It was wonderful to see a coronation

:20:26.:20:29.

because no-one has actually ever seen the crowning of a monarch

:20:29.:20:36.

before. Much of the success was down to the commentator in the

:20:36.:20:46.
:20:46.:20:46.

Abbey. The Queen left to the strands of the Land of Hope and

:20:46.:20:51.

Glory. The commentator's rhetoric soared like the Abbey's Gothic

:20:51.:20:58.

Architecture. Never before has so many seen the crowning. Many shared

:20:58.:21:06.
