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

:00:34.:00:37.

best stories from across the globe. Trouble in paradise. In Rio de

movement in years. We're tired of hearing that our country is only a

Dagestan and its insurgency played a role. TRANSLATION: Something has

fashion, it is pouring with rain. Supplies stores are doing a roaring

exploded into riots in city after city as a mass protest movement

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

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.

any other kind of experience. Pence from all over the world, it is

:21:09.:21:13.

their dream to play Glastonbury. Giving an opportunity to play here

:21:13.:21:20.

superb. A 135,000 people with festival fever. Glastonbury 2013 is

:21:20.:21:25.
