:00:22. > :00:26.From here in the world 's newsroom we send correspondence to bring you
:00:27. > :00:37.the best stories from across the globe. Inside Iran as Persian New
:00:38. > :00:42.Year and easing of sanctions bring hope for a better life for Iran. We
:00:43. > :00:51.ask how bright is the country 's future? Fixing problems here is
:00:52. > :00:57.difficult because it means resolving the decades long strains in
:00:58. > :01:01.relations with the West. Fukushima 's second silent disaster. We return
:01:02. > :01:06.to find out that it is no anxiety that is killing people. Is the fear
:01:07. > :01:15.of radiation now actually turning out to be much more lethal than the
:01:16. > :01:20.radiation itself? Gavin Hewitt assesses the first year in office of
:01:21. > :01:25.the Pope. Can he change the Catholic Church? The one thing you notice is
:01:26. > :01:32.how he works a crowd, almost like a politician. He likes shaking hands
:01:33. > :01:38.and Smalltalk and as a human touch. Britain's crumbling cliffs. After
:01:39. > :01:45.the wettest winter on record, Duncan Kennedy asks if the CN storms can be
:01:46. > :01:54.stopped. And we investigate whether the latest new skiing apps make
:01:55. > :01:59.people ski too fast. It will tell you where you have been and how far
:02:00. > :02:15.and, more to the point, how fast you have gone. Prices in Iran of basic
:02:16. > :02:19.goods have tripled. There is now hoped that, thanks to a landmark
:02:20. > :02:24.deal reached last November between Western powers and Tehran, though
:02:25. > :02:32.sanctions may be eased. The BBC does not have these is to report from
:02:33. > :02:46.Iran. But these two sets in this report from the uranium capital. --
:02:47. > :02:52.Lyse Doucet. The markets are full for the Persian New Year. But most
:02:53. > :02:57.Iranians it is hard to make ends meet. Prices have tripled in some
:02:58. > :03:03.places. This whole is also a showcase for Iran 's finest products
:03:04. > :03:09.-the carpets it has always traded with the world. This man's family
:03:10. > :03:15.has been in the business for nearly 40 years and business has never been
:03:16. > :03:22.so bad. TRANSLATION: Exports have dropped in recent years, mainly
:03:23. > :03:25.because of problems with bank and transactions because of sanctions.
:03:26. > :03:32.We also do not have enough tourists because of recession in Europe
:03:33. > :03:39.itself. Iranians are facing problems experienced by people in many places
:03:40. > :03:43.-high prices, low employment. Fixing the problems here is harder because
:03:44. > :03:46.they are rooted in something much more fundamental and it means
:03:47. > :03:53.resolving the decades long strains in relations with the West. But
:03:54. > :04:00.things are starting to change. Even tourists are beginning to return.
:04:01. > :04:07.Were you worried about coming? After the elections and the new president
:04:08. > :04:13.we think it is safer to come here. They say welcome to Iran and have a
:04:14. > :04:20.nice day and things like that. In wealthy north Tehran, there are all
:04:21. > :04:25.the symbols that the city is not completely cut off. Western labels
:04:26. > :04:29.can be found here. Some Iranians even got richer under sanctions.
:04:30. > :04:39.There is a growing confidence that Iran is open for business. We have
:04:40. > :04:42.prime ministers coming every week, followed by trade delegations. This
:04:43. > :04:48.is what the business community looks for -they want to see that the
:04:49. > :04:54.country is taking the man is seriously. The US embassy here is a
:04:55. > :05:01.museum, a monument to the decades of hostility. Iran is accused of trying
:05:02. > :05:04.to export its revolution to other parts of the Middle East and
:05:05. > :05:12.beyond. But it sees itself differently. The sense of itself
:05:13. > :05:19.will not change but Iran is now trying to find its rightful place in
:05:20. > :05:24.the world, not against it. It was one of the world 's worst
:05:25. > :05:28.man-made disasters. But three years after the Fukushima nuclear leak,
:05:29. > :05:32.doctors are warning of a second, silent calamity. The number of
:05:33. > :05:36.people who have died since the disaster now exceeds the total
:05:37. > :05:41.killed in the initial earthquake and tsunami. Nobody has died from the
:05:42. > :05:48.radiation itself. Many deaths have been linked to suicide, depression,
:05:49. > :05:57.and illness. Some have simply lost the will to live.
:05:58. > :06:02.This is the dead zone. In the little towns around Fukushima, time stands
:06:03. > :06:10.still. The destruction brought by the earthquake is unprepared. -- not
:06:11. > :06:16.repaired. What has happened to the people who once lived here? Forced
:06:17. > :06:26.to flee the radiation, forced to abandon all they own. Three years
:06:27. > :06:29.after the disaster, there are serious questions about its
:06:30. > :06:46.aftermath that need to be answered. Has the the threat to health been
:06:47. > :06:52.overstated? Is the fear of radiation turning out to be more lethal than
:06:53. > :06:58.the radiation itself? At a private clinic 60 kilometres from the plant,
:06:59. > :07:04.this ploy is having his thyroid examined. His mother is scared.
:07:05. > :07:10.Since the disaster, 33 children here have been found with thyroid cancer.
:07:11. > :07:16.She worries that he could be next. TRANSLATION: At Chernobyl children
:07:17. > :07:21.were diagnosed many years after the disaster. Children here may be fine
:07:22. > :07:27.now, but if there is risk I want to find out as soon as I can. Child
:07:28. > :07:32.cancer experts say that Fukushima cannot be compared with Chernobyl.
:07:33. > :07:38.The 33 cases discovered so far are not connected to the disaster.
:07:39. > :07:43.TRANSLATION: The radiation release from Fukushima was much less than
:07:44. > :07:48.Chernobyl. Children here got a much smaller dose. But once you start
:07:49. > :07:52.using sensitive equipment to check for thyroid cancer, you will find
:07:53. > :07:59.more cases. That is why we are seeing an increase, not because of
:08:00. > :08:06.the disaster. But the Fukushima disaster is taking lives. This woman
:08:07. > :08:13.has come to pray at her father 's grave. His health collapsed after he
:08:14. > :08:19.was forced to abandon his farm and his animals. Within two years, he
:08:20. > :08:25.was dead. TRANSLATION: I blame the power company for his death. They
:08:26. > :08:32.took his dreams, his hope, his land and scattered his family. Nothing
:08:33. > :08:37.will bring those back. Nobody has died from radiation in Fukushima.
:08:38. > :08:43.But, unable to return home and rebuild, a growing number of people
:08:44. > :08:53.are dying from anxiety, suicide, and losing the will to live.
:08:54. > :08:57.You will not have heard of this condition but it affects 2 million
:08:58. > :09:15.women around the world, mainly in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia it is
:09:16. > :09:25.called obstetric fistula. It is widespread, after childbirth, but
:09:26. > :09:30.easy to treat. Here in rural Uganda, the nearest
:09:31. > :09:33.hospital is around two hours away. That is why most women in this
:09:34. > :09:42.community give birth at home and some lose their babies as a result.
:09:43. > :09:46.Like this woman, she was 16 when she went into labour here. After three
:09:47. > :09:54.days she was taken to hospital. She gave birth to a little girl who died
:09:55. > :10:05.soon after delivery. She tells me that she was cursed and that is why
:10:06. > :10:09.her baby died. The delivery caused a rupture in her bladder, making her
:10:10. > :10:15.leaky Europe constantly. The condition is as obstetric fistula.
:10:16. > :10:21.2000 women in Uganda suffer with the condition. For some of their bowels
:10:22. > :10:28.are affected too, making them doubly affected. Now a rare opportunity to
:10:29. > :10:32.repair the damage. Doctors from Britain are providing free surgery
:10:33. > :10:43.at this hospital. It usually costs $700. TRANSLATION: I was very lively
:10:44. > :10:49.before. Now I cannot mix with people. When I pass somebody, they
:10:50. > :10:56.tell me that I stink. Even when I take a bath, the smell does not
:10:57. > :11:00.leave. I stay at home. To raise awareness, the missionaries who run
:11:01. > :11:03.the hospital travelled to villages and talk about family planning and
:11:04. > :11:11.giving birth safely. Most of the women here will have given birth at
:11:12. > :11:14.home. There helped by older women with little or no medical experience
:11:15. > :11:19.but the doctor is telling people to save money to get the woman to
:11:20. > :11:21.hospital so she can give birth safely. She says that could be the
:11:22. > :11:29.difference between life and death for the woman and her unborn child.
:11:30. > :11:39.The morning of the surgery, and she is nervous. This is complex surgery.
:11:40. > :11:42.The hope is that Doctor Duffy and his team will train Uganda doctors
:11:43. > :11:48.here so they can eventually take over. We do for camps per year and
:11:49. > :11:56.we have a local surgeon here who can do the simple surgery. She is
:11:57. > :12:02.starting to take them on but not as much surgery happens after we have
:12:03. > :12:06.gone as we like. The operation was a success. After a short recovery
:12:07. > :12:14.time, the mother hopes she can go back to school and get a life back.
:12:15. > :12:15.Many more women are left waiting, facing a lifetime of rejection,
:12:16. > :12:30.shame, and humiliation. Please pray for me, the message from
:12:31. > :12:35.Pope Francis this week. He did not mark the occasion officially, in
:12:36. > :12:38.fact, he went on a spiritual retreat. Italian polls give him the
:12:39. > :12:44.highest popularity rating of any recent pontiff. But, among his
:12:45. > :12:48.conservative cardinals, his plans to reform the Church have ruffled
:12:49. > :12:56.feathers. Our correspondent reports on a year of what has been called
:12:57. > :13:01.the front is a fact. -- Francis. The freeze that moves above the crowd,
:13:02. > :13:09.is the face that magazines want on the front cover. -- of the face. A
:13:10. > :13:14.visit to an Italian coastal town, the Pope arrives in a modest Ford
:13:15. > :13:20.Focus. It has become his trademark, the easy smile. A man comfortable
:13:21. > :13:26.with ordinary people. One thing you noticed about him is how he works
:13:27. > :13:30.the crowd, almost like a politician. He enjoys shaking hands
:13:31. > :13:37.and he likes Smalltalk. The human touch. He says the trading the Pope
:13:38. > :13:42.as a Superman seems offensive. He says he is a normal --small talk.
:13:43. > :13:50.Person but visitors to roam talk of a Francis affect. -- Rome. We
:13:51. > :13:54.connect because he is at one with the people, not quite the person
:13:55. > :13:59.that we don't connect with. And yet, surveys show a huge gap between what
:14:00. > :14:05.the Church teaches and what many Catholics practice. Life is
:14:06. > :14:11.different from hundreds of years ago. It does not mean that you
:14:12. > :14:17.shouldn't be allowed your faith, just because of issues like that. At
:14:18. > :14:22.the weekly audiences, crowds are three times what they were. Pope
:14:23. > :14:26.Francis has hinted at greater tolerance over homosexuality.
:14:27. > :14:33.Question, he said, who am I to judge? Doctrine has not changed, but
:14:34. > :14:39.there are ripples of a knees across Bishopton cardinals. These are men
:14:40. > :14:48.who believe the Church is they think they have all the answers from God.
:14:49. > :14:53.-- the Church is the one true Church and they think. On the issue of
:14:54. > :14:56.child abuse, Pope Francis drew criticism when he said of the Church
:14:57. > :15:03.that no one had done more to fight it. But senior figures insist he is
:15:04. > :15:07.a reformer. What he does in a blatant way is challenge everyone
:15:08. > :15:14.who says they are Catholic, a follower of Christ, to leave it. He
:15:15. > :15:18.has seemed at times a radical leader. When he attached huge
:15:19. > :15:24.salaries as a symptom of greed. -- attack. He says there are too many
:15:25. > :15:32.small-minded rules. How far will he go to reform Vatican bureaucracy?
:15:33. > :15:36.The UK's coastline has taken a battering from one storm after
:15:37. > :15:40.another. Some areas have suffered the equivalent of seven years of
:15:41. > :15:45.erosion in just two months. The National trust has called for a
:15:46. > :15:49.rethink of how Britain defends its coastline. It argues that some
:15:50. > :15:53.places may have to be sacrificed because the sea can no longer be
:15:54. > :15:59.stopped. -- Trust. Our correspondent has been to Sussex to find out more.
:16:00. > :16:14.It was only a matter of time before all this, and this, lead to this. --
:16:15. > :16:20.led. Birling Gap in Sussex, just one of the places where the gap just got
:16:21. > :16:23.bigger. Those pictures are spectacular. To give you an idea of
:16:24. > :16:27.what has gone on here this winter, the National Trust tells us they
:16:28. > :16:33.have had seven years worth of erosion. In only two months. The
:16:34. > :16:39.cliff collapse has made the spot even more popular with visitors. It
:16:40. > :16:43.is good for a photo, less good for safety. The BBC has been shown this
:16:44. > :16:48.map, revealing it is just one of 70 sites around Britain identified as
:16:49. > :16:53.in critical danger of erosion. They range from Cayton Bay and Orford
:16:54. > :16:59.Ness in the east, to Birling Gap and win brewery in the south, to form be
:17:00. > :17:07.in the west and we look in. This is places where sea defences may no
:17:08. > :17:14.longer be an option. Woolacoombe. Canon Britain cope with this
:17:15. > :17:18.erosion? -- Canon. We need to work with nature. We need to assure that
:17:19. > :17:25.we can adapt to change, rather than think about fighting it. -- can. The
:17:26. > :17:29.National Trust says that winter has been a wake-up call. Whether it is
:17:30. > :17:34.here in Hastings, or here in Bournemouth, Britain's cliffs have
:17:35. > :17:40.been crumbling. It is not just through rave and wind power.
:17:41. > :17:42.Brand-new research at Southampton University has revealed
:17:43. > :17:50.unprecedented amounts of water has searched off the land, damaging our
:17:51. > :17:53.coast and histories. -- Coasts. In the last few weeks we have seen
:17:54. > :17:57.three times the amount of water coming into the Astra that we would
:17:58. > :18:00.normally see in a wet area. It is not a question of whether it is wet,

:18:10. > :18:16.Old photos show erosion to a live not new. Here is Sussex 100 years
:18:17. > :18:21.ago. The same spot 20 years later. Finally, now. This winter has
:18:22. > :18:29.quickened the pace. But you can't put a concrete wall around Britain,
:18:30. > :18:33.so what do you do? From the cliffs of England to the
:18:34. > :18:37.French Alps. That was where the racing driver Michael Schumacher hit
:18:38. > :18:42.his head in December while skiing. He has been in a coma ever since.
:18:43. > :18:46.His accident provoked debate about the dangers of skiing and a new
:18:47. > :18:52.craze, ski apps on smart phones measuring how fast we can go. Do
:18:53. > :18:57.they engage people to ski to fast? Our correspondent has taken to the
:18:58. > :19:01.slopes to find out. Ski conditions don't get much better than this, but
:19:02. > :19:09.ski technology is improving all the time. Like the apps for smart
:19:10. > :19:12.phones, measuring your top speed. Give a competitive edge to a

:19:24. > :19:29.--our. It works like a GPS in your car, you hit record, put it in your
:19:30. > :19:37.pocket, and, at the end of the day, it will tell you when, where, and
:19:38. > :19:44.how fast you have gone. What ever the weather, everyone here is using
:19:45. > :19:48.them. -- whatever. We share it on Facebook every day. We have been
:19:49. > :19:54.skiing for eight days and everyday I have posted it on Facebook. Speed
:19:55. > :19:58.may give a head rush to holidaymakers, but to the ski safety
:19:59. > :20:02.patrols, it just means headaches. Doctors warned that over the last
:20:03. > :20:08.ten years, there has been a hike in serious injuries on the slopes, with
:20:09. > :20:12.more collisions at high-speed. I ask people how fast they are going where
:20:13. > :20:15.they fall and hurt themselves, and I have noticed over the past month or
:20:16. > :20:22.so that some people can tell me the exact speed they were going because
:20:23. > :20:23.they were using the app. We asked one company to respond to the
:20:24. > :20:43.concerns. They told us: No one understands the thrill of

:21:10. > :21:16.that anywhere else. Some people say that with the app they've worked
:21:17. > :21:23.hitting 120 kilometres per hour. But, going that fast on a normal
:21:24. > :21:26.slope is very dangerous, because if you can't control your skis or if
:21:27. > :21:31.you hurt someone, you could kill yourself or kill other people.
:21:32. > :21:40.Perhaps our ski apps will give us a wake-up call. They might make a
:21:41. > :21:43.slowdown and skied more responsibly. That is all from Reporters for this
:21:44. > :22:02.week. From me and the reporters, goodbye.
:22:03. > :22:10.Many of us had a nice day on Saturday. There was quite a bit of
:22:11. > :22:16.sunshine around, across southern areas particularly, including the
:22:17. > :22:18.Midlands. Wales was nice. Eastern parts of Scotland, here are some of
