0:00:15 > 0:00:20Hello and welcome to Reporters, I'm Tim Wilcox.

0:00:20 > 0:00:23From here, we send out correspondents to bring you the best

0:00:23 > 0:00:24stories from across the globe.

0:00:24 > 0:00:25In this week's programme.

0:00:25 > 0:00:30On the front line in the fight to for Ramadi.

0:00:30 > 0:00:33A week after Iraqi forces say they liberated the city

0:00:33 > 0:00:36from Islamic State, we find the battle is far from over.

0:00:36 > 0:00:38IS militants still control parts of the

0:00:38 > 0:00:39centre.

0:00:39 > 0:00:42Their flags are still flying a few hundred yards from here

0:00:42 > 0:00:46and resistance is stiff.

0:00:46 > 0:00:49Guns for sale - as President Obama announces tighter

0:00:49 > 0:00:52controls on weapons, John Sopel finds little support

0:00:52 > 0:00:54at an American gun show.

0:00:54 > 0:00:57What are the dangers you think are out there?

0:00:57 > 0:01:01I am often with my children and I think it would

0:01:01 > 0:01:05make me feel secure if I had a means of defending myself and my children.

0:01:05 > 0:01:08The bridge - Sweden's open door to the rest of Europe closes

0:01:08 > 0:01:13for business to stop the flow of migrants.

0:01:13 > 0:01:18This is one of the most welcoming countries in Europe.

0:01:18 > 0:01:19When it comes to refugees.

0:01:19 > 0:01:23But that is changing.

0:01:23 > 0:01:30Is the African rhino just years away from extension?

0:01:30 > 0:01:32--extinction.

0:01:32 > 0:01:35We report from South Africa on the war against poachers.

0:01:35 > 0:01:41And South Korea's new obsession with TV chefs.

0:01:41 > 0:01:44Stephen Evans asks if more men in the kitchen has brought

0:01:44 > 0:01:45changes for the country's women.

0:01:45 > 0:01:46Men, what a performance!

0:01:46 > 0:01:48Always cooking the big meal for the special

0:01:48 > 0:01:49occasion.

0:01:49 > 0:01:59I wonder if these guys ever do the cooking at home.

0:01:59 > 0:02:02It is more than a week since the Iraqi

0:02:02 > 0:02:08government forces announced they had won the battle for Ramadi,

0:02:08 > 0:02:10liberating the key city from so-called Islamic

0:02:10 > 0:02:11State.

0:02:11 > 0:02:13But large parts are still under extremist control and fighting

0:02:13 > 0:02:14continues.

0:02:14 > 0:02:17Around 200 militants are thought to be holding out,

0:02:17 > 0:02:19as thousands of civilians flee the violence.

0:02:19 > 0:02:21The BBC was the first international broadcaster to reach

0:02:21 > 0:02:23the front line in the Ramadi.

0:02:23 > 0:02:25Our reporter travelled into the heart of

0:02:25 > 0:02:28the city and sent this exclusive report.

0:02:28 > 0:02:30This is what the fight against so-called

0:02:30 > 0:02:35Islamic State has done to Ramadi.

0:02:35 > 0:02:38Six months of brutal jihadi rule, a government offensive and coalition

0:02:38 > 0:02:43air strikes have devastated the city.

0:02:43 > 0:02:46We set off with Iraqi special forces to see what the victory they claimed

0:02:46 > 0:02:50a week ago looks like.

0:02:50 > 0:02:53As we push into the centre, it is clear

0:02:53 > 0:02:57the battle for Ramadi is far from over.

0:02:57 > 0:03:02This is the front line in Iraq's war against IS.

0:03:03 > 0:03:06This building used to be a school.

0:03:06 > 0:03:10But guns have now replaced students.

0:03:10 > 0:03:13The soldiers say they have regained much of the city,

0:03:13 > 0:03:16but the fight is still going on and IS militants still control

0:03:16 > 0:03:19parts of the centre.

0:03:19 > 0:03:22Their flags are still flying a few hundred yards

0:03:22 > 0:03:26from here and resistance is stiff.

0:03:26 > 0:03:31Peer through the sniper's window and you see the Iraqi flag.

0:03:31 > 0:03:35But look to the right.

0:03:35 > 0:03:38The black banners of Islamic State are flying, defiant.

0:03:38 > 0:03:41Government troops say fighting IS is the hardest of all battles.

0:03:41 > 0:03:45Much of the front line is rigged with

0:03:45 > 0:03:48explosives and IS is an unpredictable enemy.

0:03:48 > 0:03:50The west has trained Iraqi soldiers for this

0:03:50 > 0:03:52fight.

0:03:52 > 0:03:55The US, Britain and their partners are conducting air strikes

0:03:55 > 0:04:03in support.

0:04:03 > 0:04:05TRANSLATION: The support from coalition forces is important

0:04:05 > 0:04:15because without them we would suffer a lot more casualties.

0:04:20 > 0:04:22An air strike is called in as families emerge,

0:04:22 > 0:04:23Iraqi troops taking them to safety.

0:04:23 > 0:04:25This woman says her house was blown up.

0:04:25 > 0:04:28She told me she and her husband were taken by the jihadis and used

0:04:28 > 0:04:31as human shields.

0:04:31 > 0:04:39TRANSLATION: We were stuck for ten days, each time

0:04:39 > 0:04:41there was bombing our homes would shake.

0:04:41 > 0:04:42We had no food, bread or water.

0:04:42 > 0:04:43We were terrified.

0:04:43 > 0:04:46A warm meal and a first taste of freedom.

0:04:46 > 0:04:49This woman escaped with her children, still traumatised.

0:04:49 > 0:04:51The mother tells me how IS ruled their

0:04:51 > 0:04:55lives.

0:04:55 > 0:04:58What they did to us was terrible.

0:04:58 > 0:05:01You were not allowed out without a man and you were forced

0:05:01 > 0:05:02to wear the niqab.

0:05:02 > 0:05:04We were not allowed to use mobile phones.

0:05:04 > 0:05:06Victory is days away here.

0:05:06 > 0:05:09But the war against Islamic State in Iraq will not end

0:05:09 > 0:05:10in Ramadi.

0:05:10 > 0:05:14It has only just begun.

0:05:14 > 0:05:17There will be more fighting as soldiers prepare to move

0:05:17 > 0:05:23to tougher battlefields.

0:05:23 > 0:05:26As Islamic State loses control in parts of Iraq and Syria,

0:05:26 > 0:05:32it is widening its influence in other areas.

0:05:32 > 0:05:36IS is recruiting across the mainly Muslim North Caucuses in Russia.

0:05:36 > 0:05:40As many as 500 have joined the ranks from Chechnya alone.

0:05:40 > 0:05:43Religious leaders there call IS the Devil's army.

0:05:43 > 0:05:45As Sarah Rainsford reports, Moscow fears that Chechens

0:05:46 > 0:05:49lured by IS to the war in Syria

0:05:49 > 0:05:51could bring the fight back home to Russia.

0:05:51 > 0:05:54They are preaching a new message in Chechnya about the dangers

0:05:54 > 0:06:01of so-called Islamic State.

0:06:01 > 0:06:03Religious leaders here call it the Devil's army.

0:06:03 > 0:06:07Nothing to do with true Islam.

0:06:07 > 0:06:19IS has lured hundreds of Chechens to Syria so far.

0:06:19 > 0:06:28by its brutality.

0:06:28 > 0:06:33Like many, he was recruited online, drawn in gradually with talk

0:06:33 > 0:06:37TRANSLATION: The idea became so appealing,

0:06:37 > 0:06:44It was like I was under hypnosis. became so appealing,

0:06:44 > 0:06:48They persuaded me this was the whole meaning of life.

0:06:48 > 0:06:54That tjere is no other path than to die for the right

0:06:54 > 0:06:56of my religion and those who are oppressed.

0:06:56 > 0:07:00They messed with my head so much I did not listen to anyone else.

0:07:00 > 0:07:01My parents, my wife, no one.

0:07:01 > 0:07:05As we talk, his electronic tag goes off.

0:07:05 > 0:07:08He has already served a prison sentence but the police still keep

0:07:08 > 0:07:12tabs on him.

0:07:12 > 0:07:1552 people have left to fight in Syria so far

0:07:15 > 0:07:24from his neighbourhood alone.

0:07:24 > 0:07:26It is the latest phase in an Islamist insurgency

0:07:26 > 0:07:29that emerged after the brutal Chechen separatist war.

0:07:29 > 0:07:31This woman thought her sons were off to Europe

0:07:31 > 0:07:33to look for work.

0:07:33 > 0:07:36And then her son called from Syria and said his brother had been killed

0:07:36 > 0:07:39in the fighting.

0:07:39 > 0:07:42TRANSLATION: If I had known I would have tied them up,

0:07:42 > 0:07:46told the police, done anything to stop them, she says.

0:07:46 > 0:07:51But she saw no warning signs.

0:07:51 > 0:07:53This is one way Chechnya's leader deals with the

0:07:53 > 0:07:59threat.

0:07:59 > 0:08:01Here this man publicly berates men he says were recruiting

0:08:01 > 0:08:03for IS.

0:08:03 > 0:08:07And then their parents join in.

0:08:07 > 0:08:10His security forces are accused of using more brutal methods.

0:08:10 > 0:08:11Human rights groups warn that is helping

0:08:11 > 0:08:12to radicalise people.

0:08:12 > 0:08:14Now local insurgents have pledged allegiance

0:08:14 > 0:08:15to IS.

0:08:15 > 0:08:19The peace here is still fragile.

0:08:19 > 0:08:22Chechnya wants to put war and violence behind it

0:08:22 > 0:08:26but the battle against extremism goes on and

0:08:26 > 0:08:33now there is a new threat for the so-called Islamic State.

0:08:33 > 0:08:35It is managing to lure people from here to

0:08:35 > 0:08:38join ranks in Syria and the fear is they will bring

0:08:38 > 0:08:39the fight back home.

0:08:39 > 0:08:46So at the Central Mosque here, they are keeping a close eye

0:08:46 > 0:08:47on those at prayers.

0:08:47 > 0:08:49Any hint of radicalism is reported but religious leaders admit

0:08:49 > 0:08:52that countering IS recruitment methods is tough.

0:08:52 > 0:08:54TRANSLATION: They are good psychologists.

0:08:54 > 0:08:56They know how to approach people who feel that

0:08:56 > 0:09:04no one listens or has time for them.

0:09:04 > 0:09:06They listen to their views and sympathise and approve.

0:09:06 > 0:09:09So the young person sees whoever is behind

0:09:09 > 0:09:14the computer screen as a friend and comrade and he is recruited.

0:09:14 > 0:09:18It is a battle for minds.

0:09:18 > 0:09:27And Chechnya is once again on the front line.

0:09:27 > 0:09:30If you want to save lives make it harder to buy guns,

0:09:30 > 0:09:33that was President Obama's message to the American people this week

0:09:33 > 0:09:34as he announced tighter control on gun

0:09:34 > 0:09:36ownership.

0:09:36 > 0:09:39The president who is enforcing most of the new rules

0:09:39 > 0:09:41without the approval of Congress, was in tears

0:09:41 > 0:09:42during the announcement.

0:09:42 > 0:09:45He said while it was not possible to do anything about the last mass

0:09:45 > 0:09:50shooting, it was his duty to try to prevent the next one.

0:09:50 > 0:09:53John Sopel visited a gun show in Virginia and found gun control

0:09:53 > 0:09:56remains one of the most divisive issues in American society.

0:09:57 > 0:10:01Any guns on you today?

0:10:01 > 0:10:05The first gun show of the year and people from all walks

0:10:05 > 0:10:07of life are buying weapons and accessories in this

0:10:07 > 0:10:16multibillion-dollar American industry.

0:10:16 > 0:10:17Why have you brought your gun?

0:10:17 > 0:10:20I am here to buy a laser sight for my gun.

0:10:20 > 0:10:22What are the dangers you think are out there?

0:10:22 > 0:10:24It seems like public events of terror and things

0:10:24 > 0:10:26like that are on the rise.

0:10:26 > 0:10:28I am often with my small children.

0:10:28 > 0:10:33I think I would feel more secure if I

0:10:33 > 0:10:36had a means of defending myself and my children in a situation.

0:10:36 > 0:10:37All tastes are catered for.

0:10:37 > 0:10:40Fetching pink rifles - presumably for women,

0:10:40 > 0:10:44through to shotguns and revolvers, some

0:10:44 > 0:10:46for self defence, some for hunting and others,

0:10:46 > 0:10:47one can only guess.

0:10:47 > 0:10:49Can I ask what this weapon is?

0:10:49 > 0:10:56What is it for?

0:10:56 > 0:10:57INAUDIBLE.

0:10:57 > 0:10:58A short barrel gun.

0:10:58 > 0:10:59Thank you.

0:10:59 > 0:11:03You can get everything on sale here.

0:11:03 > 0:11:06In America, where the right to bear arms is ingrained

0:11:06 > 0:11:08in the Constitution, any moves by the President

0:11:08 > 0:11:11to tighten the rules will be fiercely resisted.

0:11:11 > 0:11:16It will only make crime worse.

0:11:16 > 0:11:18It will make terrorism worse in this country.

0:11:18 > 0:11:28It will only help the terrorist.

0:11:28 > 0:11:30Nearly all the dealers at the show are registered which means

0:11:30 > 0:11:32if you want to walk out with a hunting

0:11:32 > 0:11:35rifle like this you would need to complete this Department

0:11:35 > 0:11:37of Justice form and if it comes back clear, ten

0:11:37 > 0:11:40minutes later, you can walk out with a rifle and as much ammunition

0:11:40 > 0:11:41as you can carry.

0:11:41 > 0:11:43But if you're a small non-registered dealer

0:11:43 > 0:11:45like John Algood, there are no background checks required

0:11:45 > 0:11:50whatsoever, the so-called gun show loophole.

0:11:50 > 0:11:54If I wanted to buy this rifle from you, this fine black rifle

0:11:54 > 0:11:58for $400, can I just walk out with it if I give you the money?

0:11:58 > 0:12:01If you give me the money and show me your driver's licence

0:12:01 > 0:12:04to prove that you are a Maryland resident, I can sell it to you.

0:12:04 > 0:12:06I would ask you one simple question.

0:12:06 > 0:12:08Are you a convicted felon, or is there any reason, legally,

0:12:08 > 0:12:12that you cannot own that gun?

0:12:12 > 0:12:14I say to you, no reason whatsoever?

0:12:14 > 0:12:17No reason whatsoever, I would sell it to you,

0:12:17 > 0:12:20and at the same token, you could lie to me, couldn't you?

0:12:20 > 0:12:26There is no way I would know.

0:12:26 > 0:12:28Mr Algood, like the president, thinks that is mad.

0:12:28 > 0:12:31But in America, guns are seen as symbols of freedom and liberty,

0:12:31 > 0:12:34an intrinsic component to national identity,

0:12:34 > 0:12:39and it is part of the national psyche from an early age.

0:12:39 > 0:12:43Look at this giant gun.

0:12:43 > 0:12:46Jon Sopel, BBC News, at the Nation's Gun Show.

0:12:46 > 0:12:49It was not only President Obama who shed tears this week

0:12:49 > 0:12:50over government policy.

0:12:50 > 0:12:52Sweden's Deputy Prime Minister cried as her country,

0:12:52 > 0:12:56one of the most welcoming in Europe to refugees,

0:12:56 > 0:12:59announced it was introducing new border controls.

0:12:59 > 0:13:03The new measures mean the Oresund Bridge, the crossing

0:13:03 > 0:13:06between Sweden and Denmark, made famous by the TV crime drama

0:13:06 > 0:13:09The Bridge, will no longer be open for business as usual,

0:13:09 > 0:13:11and as Jenny Hill reports, the decision has caused

0:13:11 > 0:13:15unease in Sweden.

0:13:15 > 0:13:18This is a country which likes to get on with its neighbours.

0:13:18 > 0:13:20Sweden's Oresund Bridge is a link to Denmark and an open door

0:13:21 > 0:13:25to the rest of Europe.

0:13:25 > 0:13:29Not any more.

0:13:29 > 0:13:32For the first time in 50 years, there are controls at the border.

0:13:32 > 0:13:35Trains re-routed, commuters delayed, refugees turned away.

0:13:36 > 0:13:41No-one without a passport gets in.

0:13:41 > 0:13:44And here is why.

0:13:44 > 0:13:47160,000 refugees arrived last year.

0:13:47 > 0:13:49Sweden is running out of room.

0:13:49 > 0:13:55This tent city was hastily built just a few weeks ago.

0:13:55 > 0:13:58These tents are usually destined for disaster zones overseas.

0:13:58 > 0:14:01Right now, Sweden is having to use them to deal with the crisis right

0:14:02 > 0:14:04here on its own doorstep.

0:14:04 > 0:14:07This is one of the most welcoming countries in Europe

0:14:07 > 0:14:18when it comes to refugees, but that is starting to change.

0:14:18 > 0:14:20Who knows what that means for Javid?

0:14:20 > 0:14:22He hopes his wife and children will join him from Afghanistan.

0:14:22 > 0:14:25Sweden, he tells us, has been good to him.

0:14:25 > 0:14:28There is too much cold.

0:14:28 > 0:14:35But they give us heaters and everything, gloves and shoes.

0:14:35 > 0:14:37So people have given you clothes?

0:14:37 > 0:14:40Yeah, yeah.

0:14:40 > 0:14:43The border controls are said to be temporary.

0:14:43 > 0:14:47Some fear they will do permanent damage.

0:14:47 > 0:14:50This, after all, is supposed to be the Schengen Zone,

0:14:50 > 0:14:57where European citizens have the right to borderless travel.

0:14:57 > 0:14:59No wonder, perhaps, the country's Deputy Prime Minister shed tears

0:14:59 > 0:15:03as the decision was announced, a decision she went

0:15:03 > 0:15:07on to describe as terrible.

0:15:07 > 0:15:11It has gone down badly here, too.

0:15:11 > 0:15:15The people we met in this Malmo coffee shop told us they have

0:15:15 > 0:15:20friends, jobs, even homes just across the bridge in Copenhagen.

0:15:20 > 0:15:24I actually had a nightmare the other day that I went to Copenhagen

0:15:24 > 0:15:27for shopping and I did not have any ID or passport and I was, like,

0:15:27 > 0:15:30how am I supposed to come home?

0:15:30 > 0:15:38I think we're going in the wrong direction.

0:15:38 > 0:15:41I think that we probably should be more into the soul of Sweden and be

0:15:41 > 0:15:44more welcoming, because I do not think the way we are handling

0:15:44 > 0:15:49the situation right now is the way to do it.

0:15:49 > 0:15:51As Sweden struggles with its decision, the refugee

0:15:51 > 0:15:55crisis continues to divide Europe, exposing its borders,

0:15:55 > 0:15:56perhaps even changing its horizons.

0:15:56 > 0:15:59Jenny Hill, BBC News, Malmo.

0:16:02 > 0:16:06They have existed for more than 50 million years, but now Africa's

0:16:06 > 0:16:09rhinos could face extinction.

0:16:09 > 0:16:11South Africa has the largest population of the species

0:16:11 > 0:16:14in the world but their very existence is under threat

0:16:14 > 0:16:17from poaching.

0:16:17 > 0:16:21Fuelled by the huge demand for their horns in Asia more

0:16:21 > 0:16:23than 1,000 rhinos were killed in South Africa's game

0:16:23 > 0:16:25reserves last year.

0:16:25 > 0:16:28Viewers may find some of the images in the BBC's

0:16:28 > 0:16:29Nomsa Maseko's report disturbing.

0:16:31 > 0:16:33Another brutal year for the rhino population.

0:16:33 > 0:16:41The onslaught has taken a turn for the worst and authorities

0:16:41 > 0:16:44There is no indication that rhino poaching is under control here.

0:16:44 > 0:16:47At least one rhino is killed by poachers here in South Africa

0:16:47 > 0:16:50every day.

0:16:50 > 0:16:57That has devastating effects on their population.

0:16:57 > 0:17:00One private game farmer lost six rhinos in just the last three years.

0:17:00 > 0:17:04The animals were slaughtered for their horns, which are used

0:17:04 > 0:17:09in traditional Asian medicine and regarded as a status symbol.

0:17:09 > 0:17:13The horn is worth more than the animal, even more

0:17:13 > 0:17:16than an ounce of gold, and there are fears that the rhino

0:17:16 > 0:17:19could be extinct within ten years.

0:17:19 > 0:17:22I think there is a very real chance that the only place our children

0:17:22 > 0:17:25will see a rhino is in a zoo.

0:17:25 > 0:17:30Unless something changes quite dramatically.

0:17:30 > 0:17:32Unfortunately, all the efforts that are on the table now from demand

0:17:32 > 0:17:39reduction to better global law enforcement to community projects,

0:17:39 > 0:17:42are long-term projects, these are not things that can

0:17:42 > 0:17:42be solved overnight.

0:17:42 > 0:17:47There are no easy answers or solutions.

0:17:47 > 0:17:49Private rhino owners are setting up security groups

0:17:49 > 0:17:51to tackle the problem.

0:17:51 > 0:17:53The Black Mambas anti-poaching unit is an all-female team which patrols

0:17:53 > 0:17:56private game reserves.

0:17:59 > 0:18:06Barely an hour patrolling with the Black Mambas and we have

0:18:06 > 0:18:10been set up by poachers.

0:18:10 > 0:18:13This may be a small group for now, but it is hoped that their eyes

0:18:13 > 0:18:16and ears will play a powerful role in anti-rhino poaching.

0:18:16 > 0:18:23What I'm here to teach you about is...

0:18:23 > 0:18:26conservation in the hope that the next generation will take

0:18:26 > 0:18:33conservation seriously for the sake of the environment and the economy.

0:18:36 > 0:18:44The most vulnerable victims of poaching are rhino calves.

0:18:44 > 0:18:47Humans play the surrogate parents. of poaching are rhino calves.

0:18:47 > 0:18:50The calves which have been brought here usually witness their mothers

0:18:50 > 0:18:56They all come in traumatised, shaken up, they have

0:18:56 > 0:19:08lost their mothers, they have been betrayed by our species, humans,

0:19:08 > 0:19:11This three-month old sets out on his morning walk with the one

0:19:11 > 0:19:14person that he trusts.

0:19:14 > 0:19:16For now, he is protected, but once released back

0:19:16 > 0:19:19into the wild, his safety is not guaranteed.

0:19:24 > 0:19:27Now, it is the only time of year when people hope what happens

0:19:27 > 0:19:30in Vegas does not stay there.

0:19:30 > 0:19:32The Consumer Electronics Show was in town, and the big names

0:19:32 > 0:19:37in technology were showing off their latest creations.

0:19:37 > 0:19:39Rory Cellan-Jones went along to take a look and found friendly robots

0:19:39 > 0:19:41are the latest big thing.

0:19:43 > 0:19:51Is this the year you get a robot for your home?

0:19:51 > 0:19:53In Japan, 7,000 people have already ordered Pepper, a robot

0:19:53 > 0:19:56which is a companion offering a hug or a high five, rather

0:19:56 > 0:19:58than a purely practical device.

0:20:01 > 0:20:06For us, the robot is very different from the other digital devices,

0:20:06 > 0:20:08because the way you interact with it is very natural,

0:20:08 > 0:20:12there is no keyboard, no screen that you touch.

0:20:12 > 0:20:14This is Buddy, another robot interacting with humans in Las

0:20:14 > 0:20:21Vegas.

0:20:21 > 0:20:24As well as following you around and looking cute, this robot,

0:20:24 > 0:20:27due to go on sale later this year, does have some practical uses.

0:20:27 > 0:20:30When you're out of the house, Buddy can act as a night watchman,

0:20:30 > 0:20:32watching out for strangers like me turning up.

0:20:32 > 0:20:35Virtual reality is another big theme here with all sorts of VR

0:20:35 > 0:20:36headsets on show.

0:20:36 > 0:20:39This one combines the real and virtual worlds so you can

0:20:39 > 0:20:42see your fingers and use them to spin the Earth around.

0:20:42 > 0:20:45It is all very well having these wonderful new gadgets

0:20:45 > 0:20:52but they all need power.

0:20:52 > 0:20:56My phone is down at 7% right now and anyone with a smartphone knows

0:20:56 > 0:20:59it is hard to get through the day without a charge but one British

0:20:59 > 0:21:01firm thinks it has got the answer.

0:21:01 > 0:21:03Intelligent Energy is developing fuel cells to power

0:21:03 > 0:21:08all sorts of devices.

0:21:08 > 0:21:11This prototype is for a smartphone and keeps it charged for a week.

0:21:11 > 0:21:15It is bulky now but could be built into the phone one day,

0:21:15 > 0:21:18and the firm says visitors to the show could see a big change

0:21:18 > 0:21:19for the better.

0:21:19 > 0:21:21They will never have to plug into the wall once.

0:21:21 > 0:21:24They will have a device that will be charged and powered for the whole

0:21:25 > 0:21:26week while they are here at CES.

0:21:26 > 0:21:29You're saying that is a realistic prospect within the next five years?

0:21:29 > 0:21:30Most definitely, it is inevitable.

0:21:30 > 0:21:38This electric concept car, developed by a Californian firm

0:21:38 > 0:21:41with Chinese money, is one product that will never go on sale,

0:21:41 > 0:21:44but at this show, motoring is yet another industry that the technology

0:21:44 > 0:21:47firms think they can transform.

0:21:47 > 0:21:53Rory Cellan-Jones, BBC News, Las Vegas.

0:21:53 > 0:21:55Finally, the biggest TV shows in South Korea are about cooking

0:21:55 > 0:21:57and the stars are men.

0:21:57 > 0:21:59A lot has changed in the last few years.

0:21:59 > 0:22:01Male dominated kitchens would traditionally have been taboo.

0:22:01 > 0:22:04Stephen Evans has been finding out if more men in the kitchen has

0:22:04 > 0:22:06brought about changes for the South Korean women.

0:22:09 > 0:22:13Turn on the TV in South Korea and all you see these days is men

0:22:13 > 0:22:19in the kitchen.

0:22:19 > 0:22:23Zap through the channels and male celebrity chefs

0:22:23 > 0:22:28dominate the ratings.

0:22:28 > 0:22:31Sam Kim is a star in the studio, and in his own restaurant.

0:22:31 > 0:22:34You want to spend your time with your family.

0:22:34 > 0:22:37Everyone wants to come to see me and wants to take

0:22:37 > 0:22:43a picture together.

0:22:43 > 0:22:46Even if you do house chores, to go outside to empty the trash,

0:22:46 > 0:22:49everyone wants me.

0:22:49 > 0:22:51The rise of male cooking shows how this very traditional

0:22:51 > 0:22:55country is changing fast.

0:22:55 > 0:23:01This is a cooking competition for men.

0:23:01 > 0:23:04This man is 65.

0:23:04 > 0:23:09He had a spell working abroad while his family stayed home

0:23:09 > 0:23:16in Korea, so he did what his father never did, he learned to cook.

0:23:16 > 0:23:19In the past in Korea, men or boys cannot approach

0:23:19 > 0:23:23the kitchen, and they do not know how to cook.

0:23:23 > 0:23:27Men cannot live without a wife.

0:23:27 > 0:23:33It was a big surprise when I heard he started cooking classes in here.

0:23:33 > 0:23:35It was a very big surprise and I was very delighted

0:23:35 > 0:23:36to hear that.

0:23:36 > 0:23:39Is he a good cook?

0:23:39 > 0:23:41Yes, I was really surprised.

0:23:41 > 0:23:47He is a really good cook.

0:23:47 > 0:23:53Men in aprons is one sign of changing gender roles.

0:23:53 > 0:23:55As South Korea modernises, traditional ideas of what men should

0:23:55 > 0:24:02do and what women should do are changing, gradually.

0:24:02 > 0:24:04Men, what a performance, always cooking the big meal

0:24:04 > 0:24:07for the special occasion.

0:24:07 > 0:24:14I wonder if these guys ever do the cooking at home.

0:24:14 > 0:24:17While the men completed the cooking, the women stayed next door looking

0:24:17 > 0:24:19after the children.

0:24:19 > 0:24:25Young women now get jobs and work just as much as men,

0:24:25 > 0:24:28but the figures show that when they reach 30, they leave

0:24:28 > 0:24:30work to have children.

0:24:30 > 0:24:35More men in the kitchen does not yet mean more women in top

0:24:35 > 0:24:37jobs in business.

0:24:37 > 0:24:42Stephen Evans, BBC News, South Korea.

0:24:49 > 0:24:52And that is all from Reporters for this week.

0:24:52 > 0:24:54From me, Tim Willcox, and the whole team in London,

0:24:54 > 0:24:57goodbye for now.
