:00:00. > :00:22.for Reporters. Welcome to Reporters. From here, in
:00:23. > :00:28.the world's newsroom, we send out correspondents to bring you the best
:00:29. > :00:31.stories from across the globe. In this week's programme: The end of an
:00:32. > :00:40.era in Ukraine after President Viktor Yanukovych fled the capital.
:00:41. > :00:43.We report a victory for the opposition and the power of the
:00:44. > :00:45.people. This is remarkable. People are streaming into Viktor
:00:46. > :00:48.Yanukovych's back garden and taking what looks like a Saturday stroll in
:00:49. > :00:59.the park. A living hell. Thousands of
:01:00. > :01:08.Palestinian refugees are trapped without food or eight. Thousands of
:01:09. > :01:15.people are living under siege for months upon months.
:01:16. > :01:22.One of the most dangerous places on earth to give birth. We report from
:01:23. > :01:26.inside southern Sudan. Talking movies in every language.
:01:27. > :01:33.Tom Brooke looks at the race for the best foreign film Oscar.
:01:34. > :01:39.And rugby on broomsticks. We find out why the sport of wizards has
:01:40. > :01:45.been so quick to catch on. One of the tactics has got to be
:01:46. > :01:49.surprised. It has been a week of high political
:01:50. > :01:51.drama in Ukraine. After weeks of turmoil and protests, president
:01:52. > :01:57.Viktor Yanukovych fled the capital as Parliament voted to oust him and
:01:58. > :01:59.a new Government took power. The country's new leaders warned of
:02:00. > :02:11.unpopular steps ahead to restore stability. But there were fears of
:02:12. > :02:16.Russian intervention and second. Hundreds of protesters were allowed
:02:17. > :02:18.to enter Viktor Yanukovych's abandoned official residence. Stove
:02:19. > :02:22.Rosenberg reported from Kiev on a week in which the world changed for
:02:23. > :02:23.the people of Ukraine. They call themselves the
:02:24. > :02:32.self`defence unit of Independence Square. They were the only kind of
:02:33. > :02:34.policeman around. We found these activists on guard outside Viktor
:02:35. > :02:40.Yanukovych's office, the protesters had taken over the building. There
:02:41. > :02:45.would be no compromise with the president. Other units went to
:02:46. > :02:50.Parliament. Their demonstration of people power. Inside, a Parliament
:02:51. > :02:58.once controlled by the president, demonstrated dramatically it had
:02:59. > :03:00.turned against him. It voted to remove President Viktor Yanukovych
:03:01. > :03:14.from power and set early elections for May. Viktor Yanukovych is
:03:15. > :03:17.thought to be in his power base of eastern Ukraine. In a TV interview,
:03:18. > :03:21.he said that what was happening was a coup. He likened it to the Nazis
:03:22. > :03:26.coming to power in Germany. He would spare no effort, he said, to end the
:03:27. > :03:29.bloodshed. And there was more drama, to cheers from her supporters,
:03:30. > :03:37.Viktor Yanukovych's bitter rival was freed from jail. Perhaps this was
:03:38. > :03:41.the ultimate humiliation for Viktor Yanukovych. Protesters broke into
:03:42. > :03:48.his luxury residence outside Kiev and let the public in. This is
:03:49. > :03:51.remarkable. People are streaming into Viktor Yanukovych's back garden
:03:52. > :03:54.and taking what looks like a Saturday stroll in the park and by
:03:55. > :03:57.coming here, they are sending a message to their leader that there
:03:58. > :04:03.is no place for him in the presidency. They stared in amazement
:04:04. > :04:14.at the size and the splendour and took souvenir photos. I can't
:04:15. > :04:19.believe that such a place can exist in Ukraine. They found a way into
:04:20. > :04:25.Viktor Yanukovych's sauna, complete with massage table and tastefully
:04:26. > :04:28.folded towels. He lost the presidency and it seems his house,
:04:29. > :04:34.but Viktor Yanukovych is refusing to recognise the decision to oust him.
:04:35. > :04:41.It is unclear what his next move will be.
:04:42. > :04:47.To Syria, a suburb of the capital Damascus. The people call it a
:04:48. > :04:51.living hell. It has been under siege for months, with no food or medical
:04:52. > :04:54.supplies allowed in. Around 20,000 people, mostly Palestinian refugees,
:04:55. > :05:01.are trapped in a camp that has been there for decades. A BBC
:05:02. > :05:11.correspondent has reported on the crisis for three years. She says she
:05:12. > :05:14.has never witnessed a scene of such distressed and disruption. Here is
:05:15. > :05:18.her report. It could be the scene of a natural
:05:19. > :05:26.disaster. But this is man`made. Not much is left. But this tide of
:05:27. > :05:36.people. Armed men struggle to contain the crowds, but they
:05:37. > :05:39.couldn't hold back the emotion. Look at the faces. They tell the story of
:05:40. > :05:47.people, thousands of people, living under siege for months up months.
:05:48. > :05:52.There is no access to food or medical assistance. It is absolutely
:05:53. > :06:04.desperate. Desperate to get in. Desperate to get out. TRANSLATION:
:06:05. > :06:09.I'm so tired. I'm so tired. Another woman stops us, pleading. "Please,
:06:10. > :06:20.please, take us out. We're dying here." The shelling hasn't stopped.
:06:21. > :06:24.A truce allowed the UN to gain access. But it still has to tread
:06:25. > :06:30.carefully, negotiating between rebel fighters, Government troops and
:06:31. > :06:36.Palestinian factions. Every day is a battle just to get any aid in. We
:06:37. > :06:41.will not forget you. The whole world will not forget you. The head of the
:06:42. > :06:46.UN's Palestinian Refugee Agency made his first trip since the siege took
:06:47. > :06:50.hold last July. For everybody, we will not forget you. We promise you.
:06:51. > :06:54.I have been speaking to the people here. They have been deprived of
:06:55. > :07:00.everything for too long. It is not a day too late that we have been be
:07:01. > :07:06.able to do this. 60 parcels were distributed. Over 20,000 people are
:07:07. > :07:12.struggling to survive here. Most of them couldn't even reach this
:07:13. > :07:17.distribution point. This was once a refuge for Palestinians fleeing the
:07:18. > :07:25.1948 Arab/Israeli war. Now, it is a prison, people are frantic to
:07:26. > :07:30.escape. Very few do. This man somehow managed to get inside it to
:07:31. > :07:41.rescue his daughter. They haven't seen each other for a year.
:07:42. > :07:47.TRANSLATION: We have been living with hunger and humiliation. But
:07:48. > :07:54.where should we go now? This is our home. This 13`year`old boy tries to
:07:55. > :08:06.put on a brave face. Everything was normal here, he begins. And then
:08:07. > :08:22.admits, there was no bread. It was all too much. It is like that for
:08:23. > :08:26.everyone here. From the living hell of Syria to
:08:27. > :08:28.another of the world's most volatile countries. South Sudan is one of the
:08:29. > :08:32.most dangerous nations on earth to give birth. A new report from the
:08:33. > :08:39.charity Save the Children says that around 5000 babies die every year in
:08:40. > :08:44.the first 24 hours after they are born. One of the highest rates
:08:45. > :08:48.anywhere. Hundreds of thousands of people have fled their homes amid
:08:49. > :08:53.the violence. Many need urgent healthcare. Pregnant women are at
:08:54. > :09:00.great risk. This report was sent from a town in southern Sudan.
:09:01. > :09:07.It is a blistering 37 degrees in the African sun. A group of pregnant
:09:08. > :09:14.women from the area of walking to their antenatal class. The midwife
:09:15. > :09:22.at this health centre supported by Save the Children is one of just 340
:09:23. > :09:30.population of 10 million. In the UK we have 21,000 midwives. That is
:09:31. > :09:33.regarded as too few buy some. Angelina had delivered a baby to
:09:34. > :09:38.stay a few hours earlier. She took me to see the new mother and baby.
:09:39. > :09:42.After some discussion, the older women said it was OK. Thank you for
:09:43. > :09:47.letting us into your home, especially on the day your baby has
:09:48. > :09:51.been born. TRANSLATION: I had my first four children here in the
:09:52. > :09:57.village. But for this one we decided to go to the clinic. It is much
:09:58. > :10:00.quicker here. This is the way things should be. A baby girl delivered in
:10:01. > :10:07.the clinic but now back home. It is a different story elsewhere. Nine
:10:08. > :10:12.out of ten women never get near a clinic. What happens when there are
:10:13. > :10:18.convocations? The journey to another village took about an hour in our
:10:19. > :10:25.4`wheel`drive. Imagine doing it on foot? You cannot call an ambulance.
:10:26. > :10:29.Within minutes it became obvious that the experience of childbirth in
:10:30. > :10:38.this village is much more typical of South Sudan. Some 5000 babies die
:10:39. > :10:44.before making it through their first 24 hours every year. The midwife
:10:45. > :10:52.here took me to meet a woman who lost a child just last week. She
:10:53. > :10:56.told me that she was away from home collecting grass to reroof her heart
:10:57. > :11:02.when she realised she started bleeding. It took her three days to
:11:03. > :11:09.get to a clinic. Too late to save a baby. We came across this woman and
:11:10. > :11:17.it is an example of the challenges they face as midwives. She had been
:11:18. > :11:24.to an antenatal classes. She was in many ways a modern mother. She came
:11:25. > :11:30.back to her village and there was a protracted labour. Sadly, she lost
:11:31. > :11:39.her child. Can you explain to me why she did not go back to the clinic
:11:40. > :11:47.when her labour started? She said that the mothers were there. It must
:11:48. > :11:54.be difficult for you. It is only 45 minutes away. Children are dying.
:11:55. > :12:03.What goes through your mind when that happens? It is painful. The
:12:04. > :12:07.welfare of children has been a particular focus for aid agencies.
:12:08. > :12:11.There has been remarkable progress around the world. But for many
:12:12. > :12:24.children, the first day of life is still there only one.
:12:25. > :12:27.Television used to be pretty simple. In most countries, there used to be
:12:28. > :12:33.just a handful of channels to pick from. Thanks to cable and satellite
:12:34. > :12:36.technology, individual programmes can find their way onto many
:12:37. > :12:41.different channels at the touch of a button. So, television companies
:12:42. > :12:50.have the job of working out what audiences want in an increasingly
:12:51. > :13:02.globalised market. The man speaking fluent Farsi is of
:13:03. > :13:05.course Jeremy Clarkson. This joke might lose something in translation
:13:06. > :13:20.but Iran is rather partial to Top Gear. India now has Come Dine With
:13:21. > :13:25.Me. And in French Bake Off, they are making "the cake". And in Finland,
:13:26. > :13:30.what is number one? At the moment, definitely Downton Abbey. This man
:13:31. > :13:34.has come to buy television for Finland, a place where Dr Who hasn't
:13:35. > :13:38.taken off. TV is becoming increasingly globalised. If you want
:13:39. > :13:43.to go shopping, you come to events like this. This event began 37 years
:13:44. > :13:48.ago. Then, it was in a small hotel in Brighton and there were 24
:13:49. > :14:00.people. Now, as you can see, we have broken after Boral after broker. ``
:14:01. > :14:04.row and row. 600 booths. They are all watching television 24 hours a
:14:05. > :14:08.day, be doing out what the world will be watching. Increasingly, it
:14:09. > :14:15.is global producers creating global brands and then adapting them. Take
:14:16. > :14:20.Strictly Come Dancing. Unlike Britain, in India there are no nasty
:14:21. > :14:25.judges. The judges tend to be more on the positive side. There is less
:14:26. > :14:29.criticism. Another example of that might be, I was watching a version
:14:30. > :14:37.of that in Panama. Even in week one, the judges were handing out tens. US
:14:38. > :14:42.programmes are struggling. No matter how good it is, if you put one on
:14:43. > :14:46.the scheduled the figures are low. Why? I don't know. I've discussed
:14:47. > :14:51.this with my colleagues around Europe and everyone feels the same.
:14:52. > :14:56.One new superpower ending Middle East is Turkey. And everyone wants
:14:57. > :15:01.to break is China. This is their Masterchef. But the biggest was
:15:02. > :15:08.created by this man, Sherlock, played by Benedict Cumberbatch. Why
:15:09. > :15:20.him? I don't know. He has this nickname among Chinese fans, "curly
:15:21. > :15:23.fool". These, then, are the world's most powerful viewers. A tear or
:15:24. > :15:30.smile on their faces and it could be very big news.
:15:31. > :15:34.From the small screen to the big screen. It's the climax of the movie
:15:35. > :15:47.award season this weekend with the Oscars. For most, the big question
:15:48. > :15:50.is ` who will win Best Film? Gravity, American Hustle and 12
:15:51. > :15:54.Years A Slave are the front runners. What about the foreign films? Tom
:15:55. > :15:56.Brooke has been taking a look at the competition and found there is
:15:57. > :15:58.strong contenders. Broken Circle Breakdown from Belgium
:15:59. > :16:07.is the only foreign language film with a strong musical film. The
:16:08. > :16:09.story of a married couple, both members of a blue grass band, whose
:16:10. > :16:20.relationship unravels after the death of their daughter. The academy
:16:21. > :16:24.has nominated Cambodia for the first time. It documentary about how the
:16:25. > :16:27.Khmer Rouge affected the director, his family and others.
:16:28. > :16:35.Italy is in the foreign language film race with The Great Beauty. It
:16:36. > :16:39.follows a journalist in Rome who inhabits high society as he ponders
:16:40. > :16:50.his life. TRANSLATION: Disappointed by the world that surrounds him.
:16:51. > :16:56.This crisis. And the movie is about the answers he tries to find. The
:16:57. > :17:04.mere fact that they have been nominated is a huge publicity
:17:05. > :17:07.windfall. Some of the world's biggest film markets, the US in
:17:08. > :17:13.particular, are resist ant to movies with subtitles. An Oscar can help a
:17:14. > :17:16.foreign film make real headway. This Palestinian film`maker has been
:17:17. > :17:18.meeting the press, seeking to capitalise on the attention his
:17:19. > :17:28.Oscar nominated film has brought him. The nomination will help you as
:17:29. > :17:33.a foreign language movie to distribute your movie not only in
:17:34. > :17:38.the United States, but in the world. It's the second time this director
:17:39. > :17:46.has been dominated. Omar is a love story. It's set in the West Bank.
:17:47. > :17:50.Some criticised this Palestinian film for depicting Israelis in a
:17:51. > :17:53.harsh light. I think it's tough for Israelis to watch, but I'm
:17:54. > :17:56.encouraged by the Israeli crew members that we had working with us
:17:57. > :18:00.that they felt this was a very powerful story that needed to be
:18:01. > :18:13.told. Also in the running for a foreign
:18:14. > :18:15.language film Oscar is The Hunt. It chronicles what happens in a
:18:16. > :18:17.tightknit community when a teacher is falsely accused of child
:18:18. > :18:19.molestation and everyone turns against him.
:18:20. > :18:27.A new open voting system made it difficult to predict the winner in
:18:28. > :18:30.the foreign language film category. When pushed, many Oscar forecasters
:18:31. > :18:31.believe the prize will go to The Great Beauty or Broken Circle
:18:32. > :18:47.Breakdown. One film franchise which is not up
:18:48. > :18:51.for the Oscars this year is Harry Potter but the legend is being
:18:52. > :18:54.celebrated in another way. The sport of critics, made famous by the
:18:55. > :19:05.movie, has spread all over the world. `` quidditch. We went to
:19:06. > :19:10.Oxford to see why the sport, which has been likened to rugby on a broom
:19:11. > :19:15.is quick `` broomstick, has been so quick to catch on.
:19:16. > :19:21.Oxford University does somewhat resemble hog ports. These stars have
:19:22. > :19:29.flown to the top of the European game and it has been little short of
:19:30. > :19:41.magical. Even if their feet are always firmly on the ground. It's a
:19:42. > :19:46.real sport. There is contact, there are tactics and it's a real game. It
:19:47. > :19:52.is like rugby and handball combine together, with a broom between your
:19:53. > :19:56.legs. Quidditch was adapted into thousand five in the US. Apart from
:19:57. > :20:01.not flying through the air, it is pretty much the same. You have the
:20:02. > :20:09.chasers trying to score. Others are trying to take them out. You have
:20:10. > :20:15.the snitch. It seems as if you have to be a wizard just to work it out.
:20:16. > :20:20.I thought it would be a bunch of strange people playing, but it's
:20:21. > :20:25.not. I was expecting to hate it but I love it. I have the ball
:20:26. > :20:29.1`handed... I have to avoid all is being thrown at me. I have to score
:20:30. > :20:34.or pass. It's not only their tackles that can stop you but others are
:20:35. > :20:38.throwing balls at you. If you are hit, you back to your online. I got
:20:39. > :20:44.all the way through, only to... Mess. The broomsticks raise a lot of
:20:45. > :20:47.eyebrows but we like them. You can play 1`handed and that's what people
:20:48. > :20:56.find difficult. To the other positions on the team, if you wear a
:20:57. > :21:00.black headband you are a beta and you have to stop your opponents. If
:21:01. > :21:08.you are in yellow, you have to try to catch the snipped. But Nicol is
:21:09. > :21:13.the best snitch in the UK. Aim is to grab the ball in the sock, hanging
:21:14. > :21:20.from the back of the snitch. But the losing team might not want a game to
:21:21. > :21:27.stop. So they can protect the snitch. As long as you stay in the
:21:28. > :21:31.country, anything goes. One of the tactics has to be surprise. And so
:21:32. > :21:38.the game will go on. With my team still winning, 360 `95.
:21:39. > :22:05.That's all from Reporters for this week. Goodbye for now.
:22:06. > :22:10.If you are lucky enough to have the sunshine on Saturday, despite the
:22:11. > :22:16.fact that temperatures weren't that high, it made for a very pleasant
:22:17. > :22:17.day. Watch in the way of sunshine. The overnight weather would have
