:00:00. > :00:18.Now on BBC News, it's time for Reporters.
:00:19. > :00:29.Welcome to Reporters. From here, we send our correspondents to bring you
:00:30. > :00:36.the best stories from across the world. This week, spreading hate in
:00:37. > :00:42.the land of the free. 50 years since the US civil rights became law, we
:00:43. > :00:48.meet the white supremacist still preaching racial hatred. I see them
:00:49. > :00:56.as adverse areas of our race. Fears of a return of the 1930s. We report
:00:57. > :01:04.on America's worst drought for decades. There is occasional rain. I
:01:05. > :01:10.can feel the odd drop but nothing enough to prevent things like this.
:01:11. > :01:13.Andrew North examines exclusive video of Pakistani's offensive
:01:14. > :01:18.against the Taliban in North Waziristan. The Brazilian connection
:01:19. > :01:23.as Nigeria goes out of the World Cup. We investigate links between
:01:24. > :01:31.the two countries, going back centuries to the slave trade.
:01:32. > :01:39.And rock of ages. We talk to one of the world's biggest selling bands as
:01:40. > :01:45.they celebrate half a century of music. We've always been available
:01:46. > :01:53.to charity shows and events, but the touring side of it is going to have
:01:54. > :01:56.to come to an end. It was the ultimate victory in the historic
:01:57. > :02:04.struggle of black Americans for equality. 50 years this week,
:02:05. > :02:08.president Lyndon Johnson passed the Civil Rights act. It faced huge
:02:09. > :02:14.opposition from politicians vowing to fight to maintain segregation in
:02:15. > :02:18.America's Deep South. The Ku Klux Klan took to the streets and 50
:02:19. > :02:24.years later times have changed but, as we report from Arkansas, the
:02:25. > :02:40.claim is proving it still has the ability to make its presence felt.
:02:41. > :02:43.`` the clan. The Ku Klux Klan is alive and well in America today.
:02:44. > :02:47.They may still be a round, but Ku Klux Klan leaders are not what they
:02:48. > :02:50.used to be. That isn't to say they aren't dangerous. We hate the Jew
:02:51. > :02:53.and if you support them or sympathise with them, well then we
:02:54. > :02:56.hate you also. Of late, white supremacists show they can still
:02:57. > :02:59.terrorise. What happened to this woman's family is proof. She turned
:03:00. > :03:03.up at a horrifying scene at the local Jewish centre. I said, that's
:03:04. > :03:06.my father lying there dead and that is my son, what happened? When I
:03:07. > :03:10.looked at the doors of the Jewish community centre, I saw bullet
:03:11. > :03:17.holes, and it hit me they had been shot. Both her father and her
:03:18. > :03:20.14`year`old son were killed that day. They weren't Jewish, but were
:03:21. > :03:24.attending a talent show at the centre. There's no doubt the gunman
:03:25. > :03:29.was motivated by hate. Police say a man armed with a shotgun was
:03:30. > :03:40.shooting... On his arrest, this man screamed Nazi slogans. He had never
:03:41. > :03:43.hidden his views before. At one point, he was a so`called Grand
:03:44. > :03:47.Dragon in the KKK. One God, one race, one nation, white power!
:03:48. > :03:51.Police say that until the shooting, he didn't do anything to warrant
:03:52. > :03:55.arrest and had a right to express himself. There are thought to be
:03:56. > :04:03.over 650 different white supremacist organisations in the US. To some
:04:04. > :04:07.extent, civil liberty groups protect their right to exist. As you drive
:04:08. > :04:14.into this town, this is the huge sign you see by the roadside. It is
:04:15. > :04:17.put up by white supremacists. But the sheriff says he cannot do
:04:18. > :04:29.anything about it because of the rights to freedom of speech and
:04:30. > :04:32.expression. In the town, I met a man who's helping shape thinking in the
:04:33. > :04:36.US. He told me those who aren't white were little more than animals.
:04:37. > :04:38.I asked him about the recent anti`Semitic attack nearby. Even
:04:39. > :04:42.though I teach that ultimately the people that we call Jews are the
:04:43. > :04:51.terrors that will be taken out, it is the Angels' job, not ours. I see
:04:52. > :04:57.them as adversaries of our race, to test us. Those views are what I wish
:04:58. > :05:01.to talk about. `` are what the shooter talked about. It is true.
:05:02. > :05:03.Some people realise it. In America, inciting racial hatred isn't a
:05:04. > :05:12.crime. In fact, the KKK is offered protection by the law. However
:05:13. > :05:15.smaller numbers these days, angry rhetoric turning to violence is a
:05:16. > :05:25.problem this country is still having to deal with.
:05:26. > :05:30.Staying in the United States, where farmers are facing the worst drought
:05:31. > :05:36.for decades. At one stage, harvests have been hit for 3.5 years. People
:05:37. > :05:39.are fearful of the return of the dustbowl conditions of the 1930s,
:05:40. > :05:45.when agriculture collapsed and many fled the country. David Shukman
:05:46. > :05:46.travelled one of the worst affected areas known as the Oklahoma
:05:47. > :05:58.panhandle. A menacing cloud of dust rises over
:05:59. > :06:02.the dry fields of Oklahoma. Each gust tears away the precious
:06:03. > :06:07.topsoil. Here after year, this region, notorious for extreme
:06:08. > :06:11.weather, has seen far less weather than `` far less rain than normal.
:06:12. > :06:17.It is what you get after 3.5 years of drought. The soil so parched, the
:06:18. > :06:23.wind just delete it on fields nearby. There is occasional rain. I
:06:24. > :06:33.can feel the odd drop. But nothing enough to present `` prevent things
:06:34. > :06:37.like this. The dirt storm has hit. The terrifying sight of a vast wall
:06:38. > :06:41.of dust. This was filmed on a mobile phone earlier this year. People had
:06:42. > :06:48.to seek shelter inside. And this is the result. Thousands of a chorus of
:06:49. > :06:52.farmland lying in ruins. Oklahoma, like many states, is heading for one
:06:53. > :06:56.of the worst harvests on record. Jarrod and his father show me what
:06:57. > :07:08.should be a field of. What happened? `` field of wheat. You can
:07:09. > :07:11.see what happened. It has just died. In a good year, their grain store
:07:12. > :07:17.would normally be filled. This year is proving catastrophic. They lower
:07:18. > :07:20.light into one of the silos. The lack of rain means they will hardly
:07:21. > :07:26.at any grain to what's been stored from last year. I call it an insane
:07:27. > :07:33.drought. I've never heard of anything like what we've had. Just
:07:34. > :07:39.concerts gone on for so long? Yes. `` just because. All of this has
:07:40. > :07:44.rekindled fears of the dustbowl of the 1930s, when soil was stripped
:07:45. > :07:47.away and the plight of the people was seared into the national memory.
:07:48. > :07:58.This man lived through that nightmare. He is 101 years old. The
:07:59. > :08:05.dustbowl was a combination of the depression, which caused a lot of
:08:06. > :08:13.people to leave the country and there were quite a few suicides from
:08:14. > :08:16.people losing everything they had. Things are not as desperate now but
:08:17. > :08:21.the past 3.5 years have seen almost as little brain as in the 1930s and
:08:22. > :08:26.without it nothing can grow. `` little rain. Watch how quickly these
:08:27. > :08:31.plants lost their colour when they were starved of water for one week.
:08:32. > :08:35.This used to be topsoil and now it's dust blowing all over the place. In
:08:36. > :08:40.fact, there's so much of it, this fence is almost buried. The question
:08:41. > :08:44.many are asking is whether the droughts will become worse in the
:08:45. > :08:48.future and the latest science suggests they might. A map of soil
:08:49. > :08:52.moisture over the past decade. Some areas, shown in red, are
:08:53. > :08:57.persistently dry. As to which is rising the future, more evaporation
:08:58. > :09:02.could mean drier conditions. This woman was one of the authors of
:09:03. > :09:05.America's new climate assessment. We aren't sure what the droughts will
:09:06. > :09:10.actually look like, whether they will be longer, but we feel that
:09:11. > :09:14.because of that increase in temperature, that they will be
:09:15. > :09:20.intensified, especially during the summertime. This land, repeatedly
:09:21. > :09:24.scarred by drought, has seen whole generations leave. The talk now is
:09:25. > :09:33.of learning to cope with what could be tougher times ahead.
:09:34. > :09:36.Pakistani's military has gone on the offensive in North Waziristan tribal
:09:37. > :09:40.areas near the Afghan border, targeting militants it says have
:09:41. > :09:44.been hiding there. The Pakistani Taliban in particular are in the
:09:45. > :09:48.firing line. They've been blamed for deaths of thousands of people inside
:09:49. > :09:52.the country. The BBC has obtained exclusive footage from the area,
:09:53. > :10:07.showing the aftermath of their strikes against the Taliban.
:10:08. > :10:11.The aftermath of an airstrike on what Pakistan calls the epicentre of
:10:12. > :10:14.terrorism, North Waziristan. This is rare and exclusive footage from a
:10:15. > :10:17.cameraman allowed in by that Pakistan Taliban. They are the main
:10:18. > :10:25.target. In this village, they say that civilians have been killed
:10:26. > :10:30.also. TRANSLATION: Pakistan jets bombed this at 1am. They say they
:10:31. > :10:36.killed 50 terrorists. 12 people from my village died. If we knew this
:10:37. > :10:39.would happen, we would have left. We can't verify these accounts
:10:40. > :10:43.independently. Pakistan says it is only attacking what it calls
:10:44. > :10:58.terrorist sanctuaries. This was reportedly a base for militants near
:10:59. > :11:02.the Afghan border. The operation began two weeks ago on May one from
:11:03. > :11:10.the air and then with artillery strikes. Now, there are boots on the
:11:11. > :11:13.ground. Searches have turned up bomb`making factories with stock
:11:14. > :11:17.piles of explosive devices ready for future attacks. Many believe the
:11:18. > :11:21.carnage Pakistan has suffered over the last few years was an inevitable
:11:22. > :11:26.result of its policy of tolerating militant groups on its own soil. The
:11:27. > :11:29.army says it is going after terrorists of all hue and colour,
:11:30. > :11:33.though some believe it is still giving itself room for manoeuvre and
:11:34. > :11:35.leaving some groups untouched. There are widespread reports that favoured
:11:36. > :11:50.groups were alerted before the operation began. Some militants are
:11:51. > :11:53.now vowing revenge. TRANSLATION: What Pakistan has done is this, they
:11:54. > :11:56.have made us fight the Americans and we spilt our blood to defeat them
:11:57. > :12:02.and now Pakistan tells us to lay down our arms, but we won't do that.
:12:03. > :12:06.We will not accept a life of indignity, we will fight Pakistan.
:12:07. > :12:12.He is first taking shelter across the border. That is Afghanistan at
:12:13. > :12:24.the end of the road. Pakistan's tortured battle with its militants
:12:25. > :12:29.is far from over. It was 100 years ago that the
:12:30. > :12:32.actions of a lone gunman set in motion a chain of events which led
:12:33. > :12:38.to the outbreak of the First World War. A young Serb nationalist shot
:12:39. > :12:46.dead the air to the drone of the Austria Hungarian on her `` Empire
:12:47. > :12:56.and change the course of history. We look at how the murder is being a
:12:57. > :13:01.member it a century on. It is a routine stop on the tourist
:13:02. > :13:05.trail now, a street corner where the assassin struck and killed the heir
:13:06. > :13:10.to the Austrian throne and propel the world into the bloodiest century
:13:11. > :13:15.in human history. But history is a powerful living thing here and it is
:13:16. > :13:21.a divisive wars. Bosnians do not know what to make of the young Serb
:13:22. > :13:26.who pulled the trigger that day. In the suburb of East Sarajevo, air
:13:27. > :13:29.building a park to celebrate him. Serbs still feel that the world
:13:30. > :13:36.blames them for starting the First World War. Here he is no assassin
:13:37. > :13:41.but a liberation champion. Most of our people and our nation see him as
:13:42. > :13:49.a hero and a fighter for liberation of our nation. On his actions, we
:13:50. > :13:57.started a process of liberations of all people and we say no to the
:13:58. > :14:04.occupation and aggression. But in other places in Bosnia, and memories
:14:05. > :14:09.of a recent war are too raw. Forces besieged Sarajevo in the 1990s and
:14:10. > :14:16.they carry this car is still. They see him differently here `` 's
:14:17. > :14:21.cars. The shrine where he is buried tells its own story of the way
:14:22. > :14:27.history shifts and works overtime. After the First World War, Kingdom
:14:28. > :14:32.of Yugoslavia turned the atheist Revolutionary into an Orthodox? Her
:14:33. > :14:39.and after the Second World War, communist Yugoslavia turned him into
:14:40. > :14:43.a Yugoslavian patriot. Each generation projects what it wants to
:14:44. > :14:49.see. After the war of the early 90s, they saw him as the forerunner of
:14:50. > :14:56.the Serb forces who had shuttled their city `` shelled. Or with a
:14:57. > :15:05.kind of middle given after him which was named after him `` medal.
:15:06. > :15:09.Ordinary civilians will probably have a different idea of his name
:15:10. > :15:12.and actions. History divides this country. The young inherit
:15:13. > :15:17.contradictory versions of their past, parallel truths about the
:15:18. > :15:27.young revolutionary whose fateful shots echoed down the decades.
:15:28. > :15:31.Nigeria one of the last African teams to go out of the World Cup in
:15:32. > :15:36.Rio but their links with Brazil go back centuries. It has the
:15:37. > :15:41.second`largest population of black people in the world after Nigeria.
:15:42. > :15:43.Most black Brazilians are descendents of slaves from West
:15:44. > :15:53.Africa and some of the freed slaves returned to Nigeria as our
:15:54. > :15:59.correspondent reports. It is called the Brazilian quarter.
:16:00. > :16:04.In the 19th`century, freed slaves returning to Africa settled in this
:16:05. > :16:09.part of downtown Lagos. They had been taken away during the
:16:10. > :16:13.transatlantic slave trade. Their work can still be seen here that
:16:14. > :16:19.much of the architecture has disappeared today or is in bad
:16:20. > :16:24.shape. You can see from the types of arches in the windows and the
:16:25. > :16:28.pillars, even some of the motifs and designs on the archways, you can see
:16:29. > :16:35.that these are obviously Brazilian heritage buildings. In Legos, you
:16:36. > :16:37.have people with Brazilian names and buildings that are Brazilian but
:16:38. > :16:43.they are not being preserved and we are insisting that they must be ``
:16:44. > :16:48.Lagos. Keeping some of these buildings from falling apart is a
:16:49. > :16:57.major challenge and are mixed feelings as to how to do this. This
:16:58. > :17:02.was my grandmother. Much of this history is not well documented. The
:17:03. > :17:06.descendents of Brazilians in Nigeria only have traces of information to
:17:07. > :17:18.work with. My paternal grandmother, I father's mother came from Brazil
:17:19. > :17:23.`` my. Her name was Lucretia. She had three children but my father was
:17:24. > :17:28.the only one I know of. He lost his siblings. I never got involved
:17:29. > :17:33.directly myself, just occasionally I use to attend Carnaval in Brazil but
:17:34. > :17:37.aside from that, no. His grandmother lived in this building in a
:17:38. > :17:47.neighbourhood where a fellow Brazilians settled. Before today's
:17:48. > :17:52.Skype skyscrapers and bright lights, it had a life of its own. The
:17:53. > :17:57.heritage from thousands of miles across the Atlantic was much
:17:58. > :18:04.stronger. Or Christmas or Easter, we see the true colour of the Brazilian
:18:05. > :18:09.quarters `` for. We have a Carnaval which is a replica of the one in
:18:10. > :18:12.Brazil. Like much of Nigerian history, the Brazilian legacy is one
:18:13. > :18:17.of the older generation have struggled to pass down. Nigeria's
:18:18. > :18:21.youthful population has little or no recollection of this unique
:18:22. > :18:26.heritage, a wealth of stories about this country's historical connection
:18:27. > :18:33.to Israel risks dying out with the descendents of the slaves ``
:18:34. > :18:43.Brazil. They are one of the biggest selling bands ever, we are talking
:18:44. > :18:46.about The Who and the front man and his guitarist are one of the longest
:18:47. > :18:58.music partnerships of all time and they are still making music today.
:18:59. > :19:08.Fighting in the streets... With the children at our feet. And the moral
:19:09. > :19:11.is that they worship will be gone... Back on stage to play an acoustic
:19:12. > :19:16.set in London, but for how much longer? They have sold over one
:19:17. > :19:21.million records, but now, they say that their touring days may be
:19:22. > :19:33.coming to an end. I think that probably... It probably is, but you
:19:34. > :19:36.never know. I do not think we are going to stop playing, is that
:19:37. > :19:43.right? We have always been available for charity shows and events,
:19:44. > :19:47.1`offs. But the touring side will have to come to an end pretty soon.
:19:48. > :19:53.But how long the tour will be, we don't know at the moment. It is
:19:54. > :19:56.open`ended. There was a rumour for a long time that you two didn't get on
:19:57. > :19:59.at all. What is the truth of that? We had difficult learning to
:20:00. > :20:08.communicate properly, I am very wordy and arty`farty, whereas Roger
:20:09. > :20:11.is more down to earth. We have survived really by mutual respect
:20:12. > :20:25.and love and affection really, over the years. What do you think? It is
:20:26. > :20:28.true. I never had a brother. What I have with Pete, that is that family
:20:29. > :20:34.thing. He has been like my little brother. Even though he is bigger
:20:35. > :20:42.than me! It is that kind of relationship, and I agree with him.
:20:43. > :20:46.A lot of love in the early days of our career that we had, we found it
:20:47. > :20:52.hard to communicate. Will The Who record new material? I have been
:20:53. > :21:05.sitting on a few things, and tossing a few ideas around. I could do a
:21:06. > :21:08.Dolly Parton. We have had so many Best Of albums over the years, and
:21:09. > :21:12.it is unlikely that we put out another one. It is a dreadful idea,
:21:13. > :21:16.it has to have new songs on it. I thought I should get to Roger
:21:17. > :21:19.before, I had my fingers crossed, I thought he would like them, but he
:21:20. > :21:23.does and we will record them and see what happens. The possibility of a
:21:24. > :21:27.new album, as well as a new tour, for the band that once sang they
:21:28. > :21:45.hope to die before they get old, but The Who now seem to be fighting
:21:46. > :21:49.against time. And that is all from Reporters for
:21:50. > :21:55.this week. From me and the whole team, thank you and goodbye for
:21:56. > :22:13.now. For most of us, it will turn out to
:22:14. > :22:19.be a pretty decent day with some sunshine around and a few showers
:22:20. > :22:21.around western areas. Overnight, the southeastern corner will be
