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. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 72 seconds | :11:45. | :12:58. | |
Carbon will be released into the A similar process is already under | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
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. |
