Now on BBC News it is time for Welcome to Reporters. From here in | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
the world's newsroom, we send our correspondents to bring you the | :00:24. | :00:34. | |
:00:34. | :00:37. | ||
best stories from across the globe. Trouble in paradise. In Rio de | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
Janeiro, we find out how high expectations from the economic boom | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
in protest -- in Brazil have fuelled the biggest protest | :00:44. | :00:50. | |
movement in years. We're tired of hearing that our country is only a | :00:50. | :00:57. | |
carnival and football. That is not true. As the trial of the main | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
Boston bombing suspect approaches, Tim Franks investigates how much | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
Dagestan and its insurgency played a role. TRANSLATION: Something has | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
to be blown up in the US for people to pay attention to Dagestan. They | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
have to realise that we are all dealing with international | :01:10. | :01:18. | |
terrorism. Hidden Haiti. Laura Trevelyan reports on the Caribbean | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
island's efforts to woo back the tourists three years on from its | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
crippling earthquake. Haiti's government tries to promote tourism | :01:23. | :01:33. | |
and overcome the image of Haiti as And as Glastonbury goes global, we | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
report from the foremost festival of music. In true Glastonbury | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
fashion, it is pouring with rain. Supplies stores are doing a roaring | :01:41. | :01:51. | |
:01:51. | :01:55. | ||
It began as a row over bus fares in Sao Paulo and it has somehow | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
exploded into riots in city after city as a mass protest movement | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
involves Brazil. It is the biggest challenge so far to Dilma Rousseff. | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
Protesters are calling for more things are -- more spending on | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
things like health and a crackdown on corruption. The government has | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
introduced a series of measures to try to answer the demands but | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
protests have continued. We had been trying to find out what the | :02:19. | :02:28. | |
hundreds of thousands who took to Anger in a place renowned for | :02:28. | :02:38. | |
:02:38. | :02:41. | ||
relaxation. We want our respect and our right! Rio's beaches I'd -- at | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
the beach, they are denouncing the way the country is run. All over | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
Brazil, education is really bad. All the schools, everything. We are | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
tired of hearing that our country is only a carnival, the football. | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
That is not true. These are educated, overwhelmingly middle | :03:01. | :03:11. | |
:03:11. | :03:11. | ||
class Brazilians. A fury long and dark is astonishing. -- long pent | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
up. This person is typical of those who have taken to the streets all | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
over Brazil. A newly qualified pharmacist, he worked in a | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
government laboratory and has had advantages in life but he wants | :03:24. | :03:30. | |
them for all. This is important for Brazil to seek -- said that the | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
politicians see what we want. We want better health and better | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
education and we want a country free of corruption. This is a | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
important event. How important? EC's future because we never do | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
anything. We are now doing it and tried to change it and make a | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
better place to live. He is marching against a left-wing | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
government that boasts that it has pulled tens of millions out of | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
poverty and made them more like the people in this crowd. So, is the | :04:02. | :04:12. | |
state has to some extent a victim of its own success? Rapid | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
developments turned a once poor nation into the world's seventh | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
biggest economy but the inequalities are now more evident | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
than ever. For most of the last ten years, Brazil has been on the up | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
and up. Unemployment is at a record low. University students pop' | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
numbers have doubled. As the numbers have grown, so have the | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
expectations. The sorry state of the country's public surfers have | :04:39. | :04:45. | |
been thrown into sharp relief. Hosting the football World Cup next | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
year in a rebuilt stadium and others around the country was | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
intended as a crowning moment for the new Brazil but for the young | :04:53. | :05:00. | |
people, the competition and the �9 billion price tag has merely added | :05:00. | :05:07. | |
to the anger. Everyone was happy and celebrating. What went wrong | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
with it? Why do people no longer want that? It ended up costing more | :05:12. | :05:22. | |
and more to build these World Cup and we saw that a lot of the money | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
that be said would not be involved started to be involved. A lot of | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
money would not being invested in education and health. People were | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
starting to say, come on, there is something wrong. We need to do | :05:35. | :05:41. | |
something. President Dilma Rousseff had record high approval ratings | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
just months ago. This weekend, she promised the nation that she would | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
fight corruption and spend more on public transport and education. For | :05:50. | :06:00. | |
:06:00. | :06:00. | ||
the protesters, that was all too vague. There is a neighbour here. | :06:00. | :06:06. | |
He is taking me to his house in a lower-middle-class suburb where | :06:06. | :06:13. | |
most people these years have had more to spend. His mother teaches | :06:13. | :06:19. | |
physical education and Cork's mainly on weekends. On other days, | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
the family has a home help her to do it. They have a new television, | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
a new microwave and a new car. They are not happy. Economic growth has | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
slowed and inflation is up and would use his money in your pocket | :06:34. | :06:41. | |
if services are still third rate? TRANSLATION: Taxes are rising. We | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
pay one tax after another. People are happier because they can buy | :06:45. | :06:53. | |
more but there are losing in other areas. Education is terrible. A lot | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
of people can now in Ford health insurance but -- afford health | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
insurance but the quality of the private system is as bad as the | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
public system. The public system is in chaos. It is an illusion that | :07:06. | :07:14. | |
we're better off. If you think back to how your family was ten years | :07:14. | :07:21. | |
ago, 20 years ago, has it not got more things now than it used to | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
have? I'm not fighting for my family. I am fighting for the whole | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
population. People do not have access to basic education. There is | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
no quality in the education provided. It is not that I do not | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
have education but a lot of people do not and we want everybody to | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
have access to this. You're not fighting for yourselves, you are | :07:42. | :07:48. | |
fighting for other people? Yes. For the country. It is hard to believe | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
all this started over a six any increase in bus fares. It has now | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
been rescinded anyway. They're now protesting about far bigger issues, | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
including the new law that would limit corruption investigations. It | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
is no good reminding these people that Brazilians can use the ballot | :08:05. | :08:12. | |
box to protest. No health! No healthcare, no jobs, everything - | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
there is no justice. What do you want? Why did she just vote for | :08:17. | :08:27. | |
:08:27. | :08:28. | ||
change? That is why we're here. I vote and I always lose. This is a | :08:28. | :08:34. | |
street where the governor of Rio lives. The police were not let them | :08:34. | :08:40. | |
through. The horizontal nature of the protests, following others in | :08:40. | :08:46. | |
Turkey and Israel and elsewhere is a source of strength and weakness. | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
For now, the authorities seem to be waiting and hoping for the wave of | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
anger to eventually subside. It is difficult to the government to | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
respond to a movement without leaders and with so many different | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
demands. It may be difficult for the movement itself to maintain | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
momentum. What ever it achieves, it is a reminder that revolutions | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
usually spring from rising expectations and a warning that | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
economic growth and conventional democracy do not guarantee | :09:15. | :09:24. | |
To the Russian republic of Dagestan. The birthplace of the two suspects | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
from the Boston Marathon bombing. The surviving suspect has his first | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
court appearance in two weeks' time. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is accused of | :09:29. | :09:39. | |
planting the bombs which killed three people in April. His older | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
brother died in a police shoot-out following the explosion. They had | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
emigrated from Dagestan as children. A key question facing investigators | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
is what if any role the country's insurgency may have played in the | :09:47. | :09:57. | |
:09:57. | :10:00. | ||
bomb plot. Tim Franks went to In a bare apartment in the capital | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
of Dagestan, Zubeidat Tsarnaeva pores over photos of her younger | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
son, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. He is in prison, awaiting trial for his | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
alleged role in the Boston bombing. She is convinced he is innocent and | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
is planning to return to the United States for his first appearance in | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
court. It will be her first visit back to a country which she had | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
said had taken away her children. TRANSLATION: I cannot ever say that | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
Americans are bad and if I express something like that I want | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
Americans to forgive me for saying that. Those people are supporting | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
me. I get lots of support from Americans. But what of Tamerlan, | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
her oldest son, who died during a police shootout in Boston? Was | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
there any chance that when he came back to Dagestan last year he fell | :10:45. | :10:55. | |
under the sway of militant Islamists? No, made him more become | :10:55. | :11:05. | |
:11:05. | :11:05. | ||
non-radical, I would say. He returned to the life. He loved the | :11:05. | :11:13. | |
kids. To raise them up. That is what happened in Pakistan. Dagestan | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
has suffered for years from an Islamist insurgency whose fighters | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
live in the forests of this Russian republic and hide from the | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
authorities' tough response. The one major legal Islamist | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
organisation here is called the Union of the Just and its senior | :11:24. | :11:34. | |
:11:34. | :11:40. | ||
members say Tamerlan Tsarnaev was a , right here. It is absurd to think | :11:40. | :11:45. | |
he was inclined towards radical ideas. -- I met him about three | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
times. These kinds of people are useful to sinister forces. His | :11:49. | :11:57. | |
naivety, his openness, his simple nature. He was pushed on to that | :11:57. | :12:04. | |
part. It wasn't all of his own free will. It was a trap. | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
For the authorities in Pakistan, they say that the Boston bombing | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
should avert the rest of the world to the fact that there Islamist | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
insurgency isn't just a little local difficulty. -- that has done. | :12:15. | :12:21. | |
TRANSLATION: Unfortunately, something has to be blown up in the | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
US for someone to pay attention. They need to realise that we are | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
all dealing with international terrorism and that we have to fight | :12:27. | :12:35. | |
it together. In this tough, hard bitten corner of Russia, even being | :12:35. | :12:41. | |
suspected of helping militants can carry heavy risks. Just last month, | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
this house was blown up by the authorities for the alleged crime | :12:46. | :12:53. | |
of storing explosives. This woman's life, like her house, is in ruins. | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
She has a husband in jail and a son she hasn't seen for two years. He | :12:57. | :13:04. | |
is with Islamist fighters in the forest. TRANSLATION: I want to tell | :13:04. | :13:11. | |
him that I love him very much and of course he knows how much I am | :13:11. | :13:19. | |
suffering. Her teenage son, another young man from the Caucasus, caught | :13:19. | :13:29. | |
In the 70s it was an exclusive holiday hot spot for the rich and | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
famous, but political violence, instability and a devastating | :13:33. | :13:39. | |
earthquake three years ago has set Haiti back. The thousands of | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
wealthy tourists have furnished and much of the country is one big | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
building site. As we report, the Government is trying to blur the | :13:46. | :13:56. | |
:13:56. | :13:56. | ||
tourists back and turn the country around. -- woo. Relaxing in Haiti, | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
enjoying the surroundings. After the 2010 earthquake this was a tent | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
city for those whose homes collapsed. Now those people have | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
been moved out and there is a determination to keep the part | :14:08. | :14:18. | |
:14:18. | :14:19. | ||
pristine. The poverty is ever Life is hard. Everything is hard, | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
she tells me. Food is expensive and I cannot pay for my children to do | :14:23. | :14:31. | |
their exams at school. While the number in living in tents has | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
dropped, on the city's outskirts a vast settlement for the poor is | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
taking shape. The Government estimates that 300,000 people could | :14:39. | :14:44. | |
live here. This started out as a camp for survivors of the | :14:45. | :14:50. | |
earthquake. 3.5 years later it has become a gigantic sprawling shanty | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
town. People who live here fear they are in danger of being | :14:53. | :15:00. | |
forgotten altogether. This is hardly the Bible's promised land. | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
This woman came here when her home was destroyed by the earthquake. | :15:03. | :15:10. | |
She has never left. We don't have water, we don't have electricity, | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
we don't have anything, she tells me. As we have travelled across | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
Haiti, people have told us that they want -- that what they want | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
more than anything else is a job. How does the government create | :15:22. | :15:27. | |
jobs? Look at the beach behind and the beautiful Ocean. Many other | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
islands in the Caribbean have thriving tourism industries, | :15:29. | :15:36. | |
including Haiti's neighbour the Dominican Republic. The problem for | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
the Government as it tries to encourage and develop tourism is | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
that it has to overcome the image that many potential tourists have | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
of Haiti as an unstable country. We have come here to the southern | :15:48. | :15:54. | |
coast to find out how people here think tourism should be promoted. | :15:54. | :16:00. | |
Blue skies, palm trees and the inviting Caribbean Sea. All that is | :16:00. | :16:07. | |
missing other tourists. Welcome to even Haiti. -- hidden. It is not | :16:07. | :16:10. | |
the usual image of poverty and earthquakes and it is one the | :16:10. | :16:16. | |
Government wants the people of the world to see. On the beach we met a | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
Asian who immigrated to commit -- to Canada and has returned to enjoy | :16:20. | :16:25. | |
the surf. I hope to see this country get back on its feet | :16:25. | :16:30. | |
because when I was a kid Haiti used to be the most beautiful country | :16:30. | :16:40. | |
and the whole Caribbean. Things deteriorated badly, but Haiti would | :16:40. | :16:46. | |
be the perfect place now for the tourist people to invest and come | :16:46. | :16:51. | |
back and get that nation back to its feet. To encourage visitors, | :16:51. | :16:56. | |
the tourism ministry is building new earthquake proof facilities at | :16:56. | :17:05. | |
the beaches. One of the few hotels here -- at one of the few hotels | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
here, the burning is hoping to promote tourism. What is your | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
target get? A better educated people. You need a level of | :17:13. | :17:22. | |
education to understand what is going on. And openness of mind to | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
not just lay on the beach and expect for everything to go right | :17:25. | :17:33. | |
because changes... Some things will still go wrong here. But they will | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
go wrong with a smile. Tourists who are worried that Haiti is a country | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
plagued by natural disasters, by political violence in the past, | :17:41. | :17:47. | |
what would you say to those tourists? We have a slogan now that | :17:47. | :17:53. | |
says, Haiti, experience it. When we translate it in Creole, it's as | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
Haiti, you have to be there. Just telling them that the country is | :17:57. | :18:06. | |
not just poverty, it is not just disaster, it is much more. It is | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
the other face of the coin. Tourism would bring much-needed jobs and | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
money to this nation, so the hard work is under way to try to change | :18:15. | :18:24. | |
perceptions of Haiti in the hope of a better future. | :18:24. | :18:29. | |
It is Glastonbury again. Britain's annual festival of music, mayhem | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
and often mother. The event attracts an eclectic list of | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
artists, perhaps none more so than this year with artists like the | :18:37. | :18:43. | |
Rolling Stones and the Arctic monkeys. As we report, the festival | :18:43. | :18:48. | |
has gone more global and include some welcome surprises. | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
From around the globe to Glastonbury, tens of thousands of | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
people flock here for the autumn at festival experience. For some | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
people it is an obsession. This man has been coming here from Japan for | :19:01. | :19:11. | |
:19:11. | :19:13. | ||
over 30 years. Hundreds and thousands of tents on the hill. I | :19:13. | :19:17. | |
might have a heavenly three or four days, or maybe hell, but still | :19:17. | :19:25. | |
being here is like being in heaven. One thing people don't come for, | :19:25. | :19:30. | |
the weather. Even the rain cannot spoil the fun. In true Glastonbury | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
fashion it is pouring with rain and that means that supply store is | :19:33. | :19:37. | |
doing a roaring trade. It doesn't matter where you come from, there | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
are certain essentials that you need a Glastonbury. Certain things | :19:40. | :19:46. | |
that everyone seemed to forget, like tent pegs, toothbrushes, | :19:46. | :19:54. | |
twilit paper, painkillers and, of course, trust the police. Halfway | :19:54. | :19:59. | |
around the world might seem a long way to travel to come and stand on | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
a farmer's field in the pouring rain. We came from Singapore and we | :20:02. | :20:06. | |
came to Glastonbury because it was one of my dreams. One of the things | :20:06. | :20:14. | |
I wanted to do before I died. My boyfriend here has been coming here | :20:14. | :20:19. | |
for seven or eight years. He wanted to show me the experience. This | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
couple -- for this couple from Belarus, it is a dream come true. | :20:23. | :20:29. | |
It is very good music and a special atmosphere. Not only music, but | :20:29. | :20:36. | |
circus, theatre. The musicians love it as well. This band flew over | :20:36. | :20:46. | |
:20:46. | :20:47. | ||
from Japan. We want to play it not only in Japan but overseas. | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
Glastonbury, I heard, is one of the biggest festivals in the world. | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
commercial possibilities are a pretty good incentive as well. | :20:55. | :21:00. | |
Dance need to come here for them to experience something like this. It | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
is quite something. It is such a big festival and so different than | :21:04. | :21:09. | |
