:00:00. > :00:26.Welcome to Reporters. From here in the newsroom, we send out
:00:27. > :00:33.correspondence to bring us the best stories. In this week's programme,
:00:34. > :00:35.the human avalanche. Tom Burrage meets African migrants risking
:00:36. > :00:42.everything to cross into Europe from Morocco. On this side of the border
:00:43. > :00:47.fence, which stretches for 11,000 kilometres, we are in Spain. On the
:00:48. > :00:54.other side is Morocco, Africa. We meet the American man who is father
:00:55. > :00:59.was killed in a mass shooting, running for office to try to change
:01:00. > :01:02.the nation's gun laws. It is still difficult to think that somebody
:01:03. > :01:07.could have so much hate in their heart to go and shoot in a church at
:01:08. > :01:12.elderly people at 10am and kill them. Getting smarter, Sarah
:01:13. > :01:17.Rainsford reports from one of the world's list connected countries on
:01:18. > :01:24.Cuba's internet revolution. And, Jane O'Brien follows the seven ton
:01:25. > :01:31.dinosaur fossil on a road trip across the UK.
:01:32. > :01:36.They are stranded in a kind of no man's land inside North Africa, but
:01:37. > :01:40.within touching distance of Europe. Thousands of African migrants are
:01:41. > :01:46.living on a hill in the mountains of Morocco. All that separates them
:01:47. > :01:49.from Europe is a huge border fence built by Spain to keep them out.
:01:50. > :01:53.Spanish border authorities have said that what they call a human
:01:54. > :02:02.avalanche has tried to cross that fence in recent weeks.
:02:03. > :02:11.A home in a would, in the mountains of North Africa, where they wait.
:02:12. > :02:16.Hungry and desperate to enter a tiny piece of Europe, which they can see
:02:17. > :02:23.down below. Lenny has been living in the forest for four years. 11 of the
:02:24. > :02:33.living here? He travelled away from Cameroon, but now he is trapped. I
:02:34. > :02:37.am a prisoner, because I can't go in the street, I can't just walk in the
:02:38. > :02:42.street, they can catch me at any time. Prisoner, and that is why I
:02:43. > :02:48.decided to come in the forest to live. There are thousands living
:02:49. > :03:00.here. An unwelcome community within touching distance of their ultimate
:03:01. > :03:10.goal, Europe. For migrants, the mountain is like... This fence,
:03:11. > :03:16.which stretches from 11.5 kilometres, separate Spain from
:03:17. > :03:22.Morocco. It is eight metres high, but the markets have tactics and
:03:23. > :03:26.techniques which have driven effective. In recent weeks, hundreds
:03:27. > :03:33.at a time have scaled the fence, filmed by the police, who call it a
:03:34. > :03:44.human avalanche. Spain is spending more on policing its border, but the
:03:45. > :03:51.Spanish government's representative says the European Union needs to
:03:52. > :03:55.take action to help the country control one of Europe's most
:03:56. > :04:00.southern borders. For those that cross, there is little work. But
:04:01. > :04:05.there is somewhere to sleep. This overcrowded immigration centre. Life
:04:06. > :04:14.here is not all that easy. It is very difficult. No work, nothing to
:04:15. > :04:20.sustain full living over here. We are just like beggars. Some told me
:04:21. > :04:23.they dream of life in Britain, but the authorities here plan to send
:04:24. > :04:30.most back to the country where their journey began. This city managers
:04:31. > :04:34.met tens of thousands of crossings from Morocco every day. It is now
:04:35. > :04:39.calling on European partners for help. To stop those on the mountain
:04:40. > :04:49.who are planning their illegal attempt to enter Europe and Spain.
:04:50. > :04:51.Syrian soldiers, backed by Hezbollah fighters, drove rebels from the
:04:52. > :04:55.agent Kristian town of mother love this week. 60 Kristian children and
:04:56. > :05:02.teachers were also injured in an attack on a school in Damascus ``
:05:03. > :05:06.Christian. These take place on a daily basis. Syrian Christians say
:05:07. > :05:23.they are not the only one suffering in this war. But, the question
:05:24. > :05:27.community feels persecuted. For Syria's Christians, the start of
:05:28. > :05:32.Holy Week is it time to hold fast to rituals. Especially such joyous
:05:33. > :05:41.occasions in the saddest of times. Memories to treasure for young and
:05:42. > :05:48.old. After years of crisis, they hold the left French high, exclaims
:05:49. > :06:01.the patriarch. Waving a symbol of peace `` the olive branch. But there
:06:02. > :06:04.is no escaping reminders of war. A visiting peace delegation takes up
:06:05. > :06:08.the front pews of the church. They have come from countries as diverse
:06:09. > :06:22.as Iran and Pakistani, Britain and Australia. A peace activist is among
:06:23. > :06:24.them. The only way forward for Syria, as through Northern Ireland,
:06:25. > :06:27.is through dialogue and reconciliation. There is no peace
:06:28. > :06:35.now, just daily violence. A mortar round struck a Christian school this
:06:36. > :06:37.week. It was just a few hundred metres from the church. 60 children
:06:38. > :06:41.and teachers were injured. This nine`year`old waits for surgery on
:06:42. > :06:47.her leg. She tells me it is broken and burning. You are a brave girl, I
:06:48. > :06:52.say. TRANSLATION: Yes, we are brave, but what does it mean? All the
:06:53. > :06:58.children were injured, a lot of blood spilt on the floor in our
:06:59. > :07:07.courtyard. And our principle is in surgery now. A lot of teachers were
:07:08. > :07:10.injured. She and her classmates were playing in their schoolyard in the
:07:11. > :07:13.Christian quarter of the old city when a mortar landed. Dozens now
:07:14. > :07:16.strike Damascus every day, believed to be fired by rebels. The Syrian
:07:17. > :07:22.Army pounds their positions on the edge of the city. In Syria now, the
:07:23. > :07:34.attacks take place on a daily basis. Some are targeted, some like this
:07:35. > :07:41.are indiscriminate. Kristian say they are not the only ones suffering
:07:42. > :07:43.in this brutal law. `` Christians say. For Christians, the pain over
:07:44. > :07:46.their individual losses is deepened by their anxiety over the fate of
:07:47. > :07:50.their entire community. This week, St Pauls Church in Damascus was full
:07:51. > :07:54.of sorrow for Father Franz, a Dutch Jesuit priest murdered in the city
:07:55. > :08:06.of Homs. A towering figure who inspired by his courage and
:08:07. > :08:11.commitment to this country. Another leading Jesuit was kidnapped by
:08:12. > :08:14.Islamists last year. Two bishops are also in captivity. I am afraid about
:08:15. > :08:16.the future of the Christian community. The majority of
:08:17. > :08:23.Christians, if they had the possibility to get out of Syria and
:08:24. > :08:31.to be elsewhere, they would leave. On the other hand, some people who
:08:32. > :08:35.made the decision to stay. For Christians, this week marks the
:08:36. > :08:38.death and resurrection of Jesus. Now, they also pray for the revival
:08:39. > :08:52.of their country and their place within it.
:08:53. > :09:01.There is a rising wave of anti`Semitism in France forcing Jews
:09:02. > :09:03.to leave? A major turning point in France was the murder of a teacher
:09:04. > :09:10.and three students at a Jewish school in Toulouse, two years ago.
:09:11. > :09:14.Many who leave also blamed changes in French society sparked by Arab
:09:15. > :09:19.immigration. We report from Paris on Jews who are becoming afraid of
:09:20. > :09:23.being Jews. This doctor is a successful dentist,
:09:24. > :09:27.married to an equally accomplished doctor, and he is the president of
:09:28. > :09:33.the Jewish community for the greater Paris region. This summer, he will
:09:34. > :09:36.leave France. The house has been sold, the family and his five
:09:37. > :09:43.children will leave with him. On a 1`way ticket to Israel. TRANSLATION:
:09:44. > :09:45.It is not just the attacks, it is the looks, the insults, the pension
:09:46. > :09:50.you feel every day, until life becomes more and more difficult. In
:09:51. > :10:09.Hebrew, emigrating to Israel is known as Aliya. 63% more left last
:10:10. > :10:16.year than how many left into 2012. TRANSLATION: They love Israel, and
:10:17. > :10:20.many feel unwelcome here in France. With the economy going so badly,
:10:21. > :10:24.many ask, why stay? This is what many hope to leave behind. A rally
:10:25. > :10:31.in Paris in January, the day before Holocaust Memorial Day. At least
:10:32. > :10:38.17,000 people marched, Jews! Get out of France, they shout. It is not
:10:39. > :10:42.just Jews who are leaving France, plenty of other communities are
:10:43. > :10:47.leaving as world. With record unemployment at 11%, compared to 6%
:10:48. > :10:49.in Israel, perhaps we shouldn't be so surprised that more and more
:10:50. > :10:55.young French Jews are thinking of emigrating. The Israeli government
:10:56. > :11:01.is now actively encouraging the immigration of French Jews, with
:11:02. > :11:04.more aid for those who move, and wider recognition of diplomas and
:11:05. > :11:12.qualifications. This rabbi told me he is not unduly worried by recent
:11:13. > :11:17.trends. I get phone calls all the time, saying that it is going
:11:18. > :11:22.crazy, but at the same time, this is only a small percentage. It always
:11:23. > :11:31.existed, and sometimes there are even more numbers. Perhaps it is a
:11:32. > :11:34.matter of perception. An EU survey published recently suggest that 40%
:11:35. > :11:43.of Jews in France will now avoid wearing clothing that identifies
:11:44. > :11:46.them. Jews, afraid to be Jewish. It is the debate that returns after
:11:47. > :11:50.every mass shooting in the United States, would greater controls on
:11:51. > :11:56.gun ownership save lives or limit freedom? There are fewer hot topics
:11:57. > :12:01.in American politics, and for one candidate, there is a personal
:12:02. > :12:08.connection. In August 20 12, six people were shot dead at a Sikh
:12:09. > :12:15.temple. The son of one of the victims is wanting to make his voice
:12:16. > :12:20.heard. He made three calls, each were recorded, and then he took the
:12:21. > :12:25.fight to the gunmen. The whole time, my dad is crying, trying his best
:12:26. > :12:30.with the knife. And being shot. He had five gunshots, in all different
:12:31. > :12:37.directions. He was laid to rest here. That emergency call, with the
:12:38. > :12:44.chilling ending, was captured on tape. We have offices there. The
:12:45. > :12:55.temple 's president and founder, one of six victims, one of six victims
:12:56. > :12:58.of a white supremacist. `` officers. It is still difficult to
:12:59. > :13:07.think that someone would have so much hate in the heart to go and
:13:08. > :13:13.shoot at 10am at elderly people and kill them. The people of the
:13:14. > :13:19.community stood alongside the Sikh community after the shootings, but
:13:20. > :13:24.he says that after other mass shootings, the administration 's
:13:25. > :13:27.embrace was quite cool. I was quite disappointed, in the president not
:13:28. > :13:38.showing up and been part of the leadership in this situation. He was
:13:39. > :13:41.in Sandy Hook and Aurora to help clear the narrative. I was
:13:42. > :13:47.disappointed in the federal government 's ability to act. Some
:13:48. > :13:51.rules need to change. Specifically changing the gun laws? Yes. Now, he
:13:52. > :13:56.is turning his frustration with a lack of progress on the gun`control
:13:57. > :14:00.issue in a run for the US Congress. He is planning to challenge the
:14:01. > :14:05.former presidential candidate, Paul Ryan, in a district where voters are
:14:06. > :14:10.attached to their guns. I love the smell of gunpowder. As the
:14:11. > :14:15.prospective Democratic congressman himself. On this visit to a local
:14:16. > :14:20.firing range, his call for universal background checks on gun owners
:14:21. > :14:28.falls on polite but death ears. ``deaf. It is too expensive, and
:14:29. > :14:34.will affect the good guys like you and I. What about those defects? A
:14:35. > :14:38.famous singer was shot and wounded at the temple when he was visiting.
:14:39. > :14:43.He needs constant care 20 months on. It reminds me that that little
:14:44. > :14:47.thing that came out of a gun has a huge impact. Not only cowboys and
:14:48. > :14:52.Indians having a little game, it gives me that fuel to keep going and
:14:53. > :15:00.striving for change. The medical challenges huge, but it is a tough
:15:01. > :15:04.and political struggle that this man now faces. He hopes that a campaign
:15:05. > :15:11.driven by the heart will help to change minds.
:15:12. > :15:15.Cuba is getting smarter, but slowly, it is one of the least connected
:15:16. > :15:18.countries in the Western Hemisphere. Only a privileged few have access to
:15:19. > :15:23.the Internet and they are only getting the hang of smart phones
:15:24. > :15:27.now. Cuban officials who restrict the flow of information so they are
:15:28. > :15:37.working to change that by opening up access to the Internet.
:15:38. > :15:41.Cuba is slowly playing catch up with the modern world. It is six years
:15:42. > :15:45.since people here were permitted to own mobile phones. Now, they have
:15:46. > :15:49.been allowed e`mail on them. Some queued for seven hours to sign up
:15:50. > :15:53.for the service, and make their phones a little smarter. Many say
:15:54. > :15:59.they want e`mail to stay in touch with family living abroad.
:16:00. > :16:03.TRANSLATION: It is cheaper than phone calls, but also because we
:16:04. > :16:07.want to progress a bit more. And have it the same as the rest of the
:16:08. > :16:10.world. Yet, Cuban phones are still not hooked up to the Internet. This
:16:11. > :16:15.is one of the least connected countries in the Western Hemisphere.
:16:16. > :16:21.Next to the queue at a phone office here, that is one of the latest
:16:22. > :16:26.access centres, people here can now get online. It is a new service with
:16:27. > :16:31.300 of these places opened across the country in the past year. It is
:16:32. > :16:38.expensive, $4.5 to be online for one hour. If you're a state worker here,
:16:39. > :16:41.that is a weak salary. People are finding funds, somehow. This man
:16:42. > :16:48.saves up to come here because, like a vast majority of Cubans, he is not
:16:49. > :16:54.allowed the Internet at home. This a big opening. The price is a problem.
:16:55. > :16:58.This man says he would like to read the news and download books while he
:16:59. > :17:05.is online. But, it is expensive, so he sticks to the most urgent thing,
:17:06. > :17:10.e`mail. Communist Cuba has always kept tight control on information.
:17:11. > :17:14.Without access to the Internet, the revolution risks being left way
:17:15. > :17:17.behind economically. Officials insist that access for all is
:17:18. > :17:24.coming. They will not say when. TRANSLATION: It is about
:17:25. > :17:28.investment. Every service costs money and we have to create
:17:29. > :17:36.infrastructure for a quality products. Politically, the wheel is
:17:37. > :17:40.there. Of course it is. `` the will. Cubans have been finding their
:17:41. > :17:44.way around restrictions, there are no Internet cafes here, but a
:17:45. > :17:51.booming black market in loading flash drives. You can get everything
:17:52. > :17:55.here, from films to magazines. It is like surfing the web. Sometimes you
:17:56. > :17:58.will get the real thing. These people have discovered a network
:17:59. > :18:04.left open by mistake and are frantically logging onto it. It is
:18:05. > :18:09.slow, this man tells me, but something. And, it is free. The main
:18:10. > :18:16.thing, they can make the most of the connection before it is discovered,
:18:17. > :18:19.and before it disappears. It is 65 million years old, weighs
:18:20. > :18:27.about seven tons, and came to the end of a four Day Rd trip across the
:18:28. > :18:34.USA this week. An almost complete fossil of a Tyrannosaurus rex was
:18:35. > :18:41.discovered in a museum in Montana, and transferred to the Smithsonian.
:18:42. > :18:46.It has taken months of travelling and careful packing. In a basement
:18:47. > :18:49.at the Museum of the Rookies, one of the most delicate packing jobs in
:18:50. > :19:10.history is under way. This is part of the pelvis of the T`Rex. ``Rocky
:19:11. > :19:11.Mountains. 16 boxes filled with dinosaur bones. The
:19:12. > :19:14.66`million`year`old remains of a T`Rex, down for the Natural History
:19:15. > :19:17.Museum in Washington. This doesn't come along very often. It's pretty
:19:18. > :19:20.much a once`in`a`lifetime moment to stand here and pack up the dinosaur
:19:21. > :19:24.and ship it across the country. Most museums, if they are lucky, get one
:19:25. > :19:38.shot at this. The Wankel is named after Cathy Wankel, a rancher who
:19:39. > :19:41.found the bones in 1988. We could tell as soon as it was exposed, that
:19:42. > :19:44.it was one of the most complete skeletons ever found. It includes
:19:45. > :19:51.the first example of a complete T`Rex forearm. The science of
:19:52. > :19:55.discovery can be pretty basic. Always armed with a pickaxe and a
:19:56. > :20:04.pocket knife, those are my tools. Montana is dinosaur country, because
:20:05. > :20:09.of its geology and climate. The fossils are thrown to the Earth 's
:20:10. > :20:18.surface. But how do scientists know if they find one? Just put your face
:20:19. > :20:22.on it. It sticks. Try your tongue on the rock. It doesn't stick. So you
:20:23. > :20:28.can tell dinosaur bones from rocks by putting your tongue on it. Many
:20:29. > :20:34.have left Montana, but few have been packed with so much care. It has
:20:35. > :20:38.taken the best part of the week to get to this stage. Hundreds of T`Rex
:20:39. > :20:43.bones. Some just tiny fragments, all individually wrapped and ready for
:20:44. > :20:50.shipping. The question now is how to get them to Washington. The bones
:20:51. > :20:56.are being transported in a huge, climate`controlled truck. It has
:20:57. > :21:01.added security systems. And the journey across the US is under
:21:02. > :21:04.constant satellite surveillance. Knowing that that skeleton is packed
:21:05. > :21:13.well, it is on that transport to Washington, I can't wait to meet it
:21:14. > :21:16.on the other end. This bronze cast gives an idea of how it will look
:21:17. > :21:33.fully assembled. The first time in 66 million years the nation's T`Rex
:21:34. > :21:34.will stand on its own two feet. That is all from Reporters this week.
:21:35. > :21:57.Goodbye for now. Mixed fortunes weatherwise as we
:21:58. > :22:01.head into Easter Day. The bulk of the UK will stay dry, I think, but
:22:02. > :22:09.the best of the sunshine will be in the north, in southern areas, there
:22:10. > :22:10.is an increasing risk of wet weather initially. The reason is
