:00:30. > :00:33.Welcome to the programme. From here in the world's newsroom, we send out
:00:34. > :00:42.correspondence to bring you the best stories from across the globe. In
:00:42. > :00:46.this week's programme. Agro one's story. We meet the ten-year-old
:00:46. > :00:52.Pakistani girl forced to make bricks for a living now looking at a better
:00:52. > :01:02.future. For Jeeni, things are looking different. Here at least for
:01:02. > :01:03.
:01:03. > :01:07.a time she can finally be a child. Special access to the world's most
:01:07. > :01:12.ambitious energy project, recreating the power of the sun. They will take
:01:12. > :01:21.pairs of atoms and then force them together, this will release even
:01:21. > :01:26.more energy. Where Zimbabwe's elections free and fair? Allegations
:01:26. > :01:30.of fraud in the country's presidential elections. The test
:01:30. > :01:40.tube burger. Investigating the world's 1st-ever beefburger groaned
:01:40. > :01:41.
:01:41. > :01:43.synthetically in a lab. There is quite some intense taste. Reporting
:01:43. > :01:50.from Bordeaux and Beijing on China's new love affair with French
:01:50. > :02:00.wine. And the taxi wars. Cuba against the US in the battle of the
:02:00. > :02:00.
:02:00. > :02:04.best cab ride. We begin with a story of modern-day
:02:04. > :02:09.slavery that is also a story of hope, hope for a little girl who
:02:09. > :02:13.lost her childhood far too soon. If you weeks ago, the BBC reported on a
:02:13. > :02:20.ten-year-old Pakistani girl, Jeeni, who lived and worked in a bricklayer
:02:20. > :02:22.Ray. Her family were bonded labourers enslaved by debt. It is
:02:22. > :02:29.estimated 20 million people around the world are in a similar
:02:29. > :02:34.condition. However, since the BBC reported on Jeeni, her family's debt
:02:34. > :02:37.has been written off. Life is easier but she is still forced to work. We
:02:37. > :02:45.have returned to southern Pakistan to meet up with Jeeni and her family
:02:45. > :02:48.again. Deep in the cotton fields, Jeeni is at work, a child
:02:48. > :02:58.shouldering the burden is of an adult. But if this looks like hard
:02:58. > :02:59.
:02:59. > :03:06.labour, remember what she left behind. This brick kiln was her home
:03:06. > :03:10.and effectively her prison. She and her entire family toiled here. They
:03:10. > :03:20.were bonded labourers, enslaved by debt, but after we featured her
:03:20. > :03:26.story, that debt was suddenly forgiven. We were taken to see the
:03:26. > :03:29.small room she shared with 14 family members. This campaign from a child
:03:29. > :03:35.rights group says that she would have been liable for her parents'
:03:35. > :03:44.debts. She would have to work her entire life to pay off this loan but
:03:44. > :03:48.she wouldn't pay such a burden in her whole life. The owner of the
:03:48. > :03:55.brick kiln claims he treats his work as well, though bonded labour is
:03:56. > :04:02.illegal. He says Jeeni's father owed him almost $8,000, which he wrote
:04:02. > :04:09.off out of compassion. TRANSLATION: After the report, campaigners came
:04:09. > :04:15.to me and I've said ahead forgiven the debt. Now they are free. I have
:04:15. > :04:22.children myself and I took pity on theirs. For Jeeni and her family,
:04:22. > :04:28.this newsround freedom means the chance of a better life. Still poor,
:04:28. > :04:33.they are no longer trapped. The father says with what they make the
:04:34. > :04:38.King Cotton, he hopes to send Jeeni and her brothers to school. She is
:04:38. > :04:46.hoping for that as well and tells me that she likes it here, working the
:04:46. > :04:56.land. TRANSLATION: There, we spent all day in the mud making brick is.
:04:56. > :04:57.
:04:57. > :05:03.Now, we work for only four hours per day. We are better off here.
:05:03. > :05:07.this is another advantage of their new location. For Jeeni, life
:05:07. > :05:11.certainly looks a lot different. Here, at least for a time, she can
:05:12. > :05:16.set work aside and simply be a child. At the biggest change is she
:05:16. > :05:20.can look forward to taking her place in the classroom, to having a chance
:05:20. > :05:26.to learn. And that is something that seemed impossible before. Millions
:05:26. > :05:36.of children in Pakistan never get to school but for Jeeni and her
:05:36. > :05:39.
:05:39. > :05:43.siblings, a new future might be written. Fusion is the process that
:05:43. > :05:47.drives the Sun. When atoms fuse together, they've released huge
:05:47. > :05:52.amounts of energy. Scientists have been trying to harness that endless
:05:52. > :05:55.supply of power for ages. Now, the most ambitious attempt ever to do
:05:55. > :06:02.just that is taking shape in the south off-ramps, a giant
:06:02. > :06:08.experimental reactor being built, hoping to use fusion to create a
:06:08. > :06:13.hopefully limitless supply of energy. -- in the South of France.
:06:13. > :06:19.At one of the world's largest construction sites, a dreamer for
:06:19. > :06:24.future energy is taking shape. This is a project called ITER and it is
:06:24. > :06:28.trying something extraordinary. To build a machine that will produce
:06:28. > :06:34.energy by copying what happens inside the Sun. Blazing over this
:06:34. > :06:43.corner of southern France, is the process known as fusion. It promises
:06:43. > :06:46.an almost on limited source of energy -- unlimited. We believe we
:06:46. > :06:51.can demonstrate that fusion energy can produce large-scale power.
:06:51. > :07:01.vision is for a new kind of Riyadh which in theory is easy to fuel,
:07:01. > :07:07.
:07:07. > :07:11.leaves little race -- leaves little waste. Countries around the world
:07:11. > :07:19.are sharing the cost of its $15 billion. In a normal nuclear
:07:19. > :07:22.reactor, you take an act and split it. This releases energy. It is the
:07:22. > :07:27.process known as fusion. What they are going to do here is the
:07:27. > :07:34.opposite. They will be taking pairs of atoms and then forcing or fusing
:07:34. > :07:39.them together. This will release even more energy. It is what is
:07:39. > :07:43.called fusion and it's the process that goes on inside the Sun. Now,
:07:43. > :07:50.there is really only one way to contain this. They will create an
:07:50. > :07:55.enormous magnetic field. It will sit here like a giant ring and inside
:07:56. > :08:01.it, the fusion, all those atoms being forced together, will take
:08:01. > :08:07.place right in the middle. If this works, it will be a major step to
:08:07. > :08:14.showing that fusion can be a viable source of power. But there is a very
:08:15. > :08:20.long way to go. Here is one they built earlier, a pilot plant known
:08:20. > :08:23.as Jet near Oxford in England. It has pioneered the research. I've was
:08:23. > :08:29.shown around the tangle of pipes and cables that swirl around the
:08:29. > :08:34.reactor. Everything about this technology is challenging. This is
:08:34. > :08:39.the strange sight of the process in action. They have got fusion to work
:08:39. > :08:44.but not on a scale that yet makes any kind of financial sense. What we
:08:44. > :08:48.have learned is it is scientifically feasible to generate energy from
:08:48. > :08:53.fusion. What we haven't yet learnt is whether we can do that at a
:08:53. > :08:58.commercial rate that you want to pay for your electricity. Now,
:08:58. > :09:02.everything hinges on the project under way in France. It keeps
:09:02. > :09:07.falling behind in schedule. It is like a hi-tech jigsaw puzzle fitting
:09:07. > :09:11.together 1 million components made in dozens of different countries.
:09:11. > :09:16.Pieces are being made all around the world. They will be shipped here.
:09:16. > :09:21.Here, we will have to orchestrate their arrival and build them step by
:09:21. > :09:25.step. Everything must arrive at the right time in the right order. This
:09:25. > :09:29.is a critical point. Fusion energy was first promised back in the 1950s
:09:29. > :09:36.and it is still decades away but this is where we will see the power
:09:36. > :09:41.of the Sun and if it can be repeated here on earth. Next week, the
:09:41. > :09:45.president of Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe, will be sworn in for his
:09:45. > :09:50.seventh term after his victory in the country's elections. There was a
:09:50. > :09:55.big turnout and his parties on UPS took more than 60% of the vote but
:09:55. > :10:02.there are concerns about the conduct of the poll and the legality of his
:10:02. > :10:09.victory -- his party, ZANU PF, took more than 60% of the vote. President
:10:09. > :10:16.Mugabe's supporters say the allegations of fraud are part of a
:10:16. > :10:21.smear campaign by his detractors. No celebrations here, just shock and
:10:21. > :10:30.disbelief in Harare's townships as a big emerges of allegations of
:10:30. > :10:36.serious electoral fraud. What is the problem here? This is an old voter.
:10:36. > :10:40.This person voted in 2008 and when she went to vote again, she was
:10:40. > :10:46.told... So effectively, what this means is that she has been
:10:46. > :10:50.disenfranchised because her name was removed from the photo's role.
:10:50. > :10:53.man pays respect to his wife Judith, who died in 2006. When he
:10:53. > :11:00.went to check if he was registered to vote, he found the names of both
:11:00. > :11:07.his late wife and son still on the voters roll. When I asked why these
:11:07. > :11:11.two people were still on the voters roll, they said they would cancel it
:11:11. > :11:14.but it was still there. They never cancelled it in my presence.
:11:14. > :11:18.losers of this election will be heading to court in the next few
:11:18. > :11:22.days to challenge the outcome but the expectation is that Robert
:11:22. > :11:30.Mugabe will be re- inaugurated as president next week. It is one thing
:11:30. > :11:35.winning an election but getting a better economy is another. A small
:11:35. > :11:41.stock exchange it may be, but it is already feeling the impact, down 13%
:11:41. > :11:46.in two days. The clearest sign yet of a jittery business community's
:11:46. > :11:51.concerns over ZANU PF's economic odysseys which are centred on the
:11:51. > :11:58.indigenisation of foreign-owned companies. -- economic policies.
:11:58. > :12:01.This is the policy of our party. Now we have to implement it. But banks
:12:01. > :12:09.have stopped issuing loans and the biggest bank, Barclays, saw its
:12:09. > :12:19.market value plunge. These companies are under serious threat. Start new
:12:19. > :12:23.businesses, create new sources of wealth. This is not a simple
:12:23. > :12:26.programme of redistributing the little that remains. The election
:12:26. > :12:31.has reportedly emptied Jim bad boy's Treasury. More pressing
:12:31. > :12:41.concerns such as a civil servants wage bill due in August may have to
:12:41. > :12:46.
:12:46. > :12:52.take priority. How do you like your burger done? Grown in a test tube?
:12:52. > :12:58.Soon, there may be a choice on offer. You could have a beef burger
:12:58. > :13:04.made from meet artificially grown in a lab. It was developed in a lab and
:13:04. > :13:08.served up to food critics and London. Grown in a loud and cooked
:13:08. > :13:18.in a pan. The world's first synthetic hamburger. What does it
:13:18. > :13:24.taste? It is an intense taste. It is close to meat. It is not that juicy.
:13:24. > :13:30.The consistency is perfect. She is a food writer chosen by the organisers
:13:30. > :13:36.of the event. The burger started off as a few cells taken from a dead
:13:36. > :13:40.cow. They were grown into these pale white circles of muscle. Food
:13:40. > :13:44.technologists then added breadcrumbs, caramel and saffron to
:13:44. > :13:49.make it taste better. They added beetroot juice to make it look the
:13:49. > :13:57.right colour. After the taste test I spoke to the man who created the
:13:57. > :14:07.burger. It cost �250,000 to make. Would the simpler solution for
:14:07. > :14:07.
:14:07. > :14:12.people to eat west meat? -- less. would favour that but meat
:14:12. > :14:18.consumption is going to increase. Currently 258 million tonnes of meat
:14:18. > :14:22.a year is produced across the world to satisfy demand. In 2050 it is
:14:22. > :14:30.estimated that it will need to be 455 million tonnes. The solutions do
:14:30. > :14:36.not lie with producing more food, but changing the system of supply
:14:36. > :14:41.and access, and affordability so that better food gets to the people
:14:41. > :14:44.who need it. Even those behind the lab growing
:14:44. > :14:50.project admit that their meat will never taste as good as the real
:14:50. > :14:54.thing. As prices rise and environmental concerns increase as
:14:54. > :14:59.well as animal welfare concerns, this is the only ethical and
:14:59. > :15:05.pragmatic way forward. Researchers say it will be listed
:15:05. > :15:11.ten years before they can perfect the burger. It will also be a while
:15:11. > :15:15.before it is on sale. To follow the world's first test-tube burger, how
:15:15. > :15:19.about a glass of wine. It is all the rage with a Chinese
:15:19. > :15:22.who are developing a love affair with French wine. And vineyards are
:15:22. > :15:28.being snapped up by Chinese investors. Last year Beijing
:15:28. > :15:37.imported modern 70 million bottles a wine. In a moment we will hear from
:15:37. > :15:46.a correspondent in Beijing. First from a report from France. One from
:15:46. > :15:56.this area dates back to the 14th century. The French family that
:15:56. > :16:00.owned it have 37 vineyards. 23 were bought by the Chinese. TRANSLATION:
:16:00. > :16:05.The French have been making wine far longer than the Chinese. You have to
:16:05. > :16:12.recognise their expertise and the quality. That is amended better help
:16:12. > :16:18.to maintain. There are concerns. A lot of what is produced is
:16:18. > :16:25.destined for the Chinese market. Sometimes when they buy a state
:16:25. > :16:32.there is no quality. They want to make money with a brand. The region
:16:32. > :16:42.has 8000 of these. The Chinese are less than 60. What is more
:16:42. > :16:46.
:16:46. > :16:49.significant as the trade. Last year grow. It will be a valuable market
:16:49. > :16:58.for French exporters and new investors who want to control the
:16:58. > :17:06.entire supply chain from production... To the consumer.
:17:06. > :17:10.China's newly wealthy usually reach for a bottle of wine from France.
:17:10. > :17:17.Chinese wine... That is a different story. Many believe wines that are
:17:17. > :17:22.made in China can't possibly compete with our old world rivals. Some want
:17:22. > :17:28.to change that. In a region better known for mining rather than
:17:28. > :17:33.grapes, one winery has won over some of the world's toughest critics.
:17:33. > :17:38.Merlot is an Chardonnay is from this place are getting awards on an
:17:38. > :17:44.international level and lots of local fans. It has European touches
:17:44. > :17:54.including oak barrels important from French forests. What sets this wine
:17:54. > :17:55.
:17:55. > :18:00.apart is all Chinese. You are so used to running after people but you
:18:00. > :18:07.cannot have to beg anymore. Since 2008 this woman sells all of her
:18:07. > :18:12.wine every year, 2 million bottles were. Most of that wine is consumed
:18:12. > :18:22.inside the country. Chinese drinkers are learning to look past their

:18:29. > :18:38.French favourites to Smith, swell, Around the world taxis can tell you
:18:38. > :18:43.a lot about the culture of the country. We have decided to put Cuba
:18:43. > :18:46.against the United States and a battle for the best cab ride. Our
:18:46. > :18:53.correspondent in Havana and another in New York are on their starting
:18:53. > :18:56.blocks. Most New Yorkers know that when you leave Manhattan outside of
:18:56. > :19:02.certain hours it could be hard to find a ride. Luckily, I have an app.
:19:02. > :19:07.The software can tell I am in prospect Park in Brooklyn. It says a
:19:07. > :19:16.cab has four minutes away. I tell it to pick me up here. All I have to do
:19:16. > :19:20.is wait. In Havana, catching a cab has become a common way of moving
:19:20. > :19:30.around. There is no underground system so you could wait for hours
:19:30. > :19:38.
:19:38. > :19:42.in the sun at a bus stop or you could catch a cab. Chances are, as
:19:42. > :19:49.well as a taxi ride you are going to get a right back in time. Most of
:19:49. > :19:53.the taxis are classic American cars like this one. Normally, there are
:19:53. > :20:03.25 passengers crammed into the seats. You can pay a fixed fare.
:20:03. > :20:14.
:20:14. > :20:20.Hello. Where to? Taxis are for people who do not live on state
:20:20. > :20:24.salary. Lots of people have licences and a self-employed. We have our own
:20:24. > :20:30.restaurants and can use taxis. Lots of Cubans have relatives living
:20:30. > :20:40.abroad who send their money. There is lots of demand for. What is the

:20:44. > :20:54.best tip you have ever had? A really nice guy. It cost $4.10. He handed
:20:54. > :20:55.
:20:55. > :21:05.me seven $20 bills. I have reached my destination. The average journey
:21:05. > :21:08.
:21:08. > :21:11.in New York involves less traffic so that average fares close to $50.
:21:11. > :21:21.are arriving at our destination now. Air travelled about 15 kilometres.
