0:00:16 > 0:00:19Welcome to Reporters. I am Philippa Thomas.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22From here in the world's newsroom, we send out correspondents
0:00:22 > 0:00:25to bring you the best stories from across the globe.
0:00:25 > 0:00:33In this week's programme, after the attacks in Cologne,
0:00:33 > 0:00:36Swedish police come under fire
0:00:36 > 0:00:37over another case of sexual assaults by migrants.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Katie Razzall asks, "Was there a cover-up?"
0:00:39 > 0:00:42We didn't tell. That was a mistake, a big mistake.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44But of course it wasn't a cover-up.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46The Arctic's secret archive of life.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49David Shukman visits the deep-freeze buried inside a mountain
0:00:49 > 0:00:52that could one day feed millions.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54If the worst happens and global warming melts
0:00:54 > 0:00:59all of the polar icecaps, this project will still be safe.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Red Squad, Blue Squad, take my lead!
0:01:02 > 0:01:06As the Oscar nominations are announced, Stephen Evans asks
0:01:06 > 0:01:09whether China is set to play a bigger role in Hollywood.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19Is it a case of too much tolerance, or too little openness?
0:01:19 > 0:01:23You heard about those new year assaults in Cologne where the German
0:01:23 > 0:01:25city's police chief was forced to resign, accused of turning
0:01:25 > 0:01:28a blind eye to the criminally sexually aggressive behaviour
0:01:28 > 0:01:30of gangs of mostly migrants.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34Well, there are now reports of a similar experience in Sweden,
0:01:34 > 0:01:38another European nation which prides itself
0:01:38 > 0:01:41on its welcoming attitude to refugees.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Details are only now coming to light of widespread sexual assaults
0:01:44 > 0:01:49involving migrant youths at a music festival in Stockholm last summer.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52But at the time, did the police cover it up?
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Katie Razzall has been to Stockholm to find out more,
0:01:54 > 0:01:59and there are some flashing images in her report.
0:01:59 > 0:02:06MUSIC PLAYS
0:02:09 > 0:02:13We Are Stockholm is a music festival for teenagers in the town centre,
0:02:13 > 0:02:17devised 16 years ago to keep kids out of trouble, but for the last two
0:02:17 > 0:02:20summers, some of the people it was designed to help
0:02:20 > 0:02:25have used it as an opportunity for something more sinister.
0:02:25 > 0:02:30It looks a little different in the snow,
0:02:30 > 0:02:32but this is where the festival happened
0:02:32 > 0:02:35and where teenage girls say they were groped,
0:02:35 > 0:02:37harassed and even raped by young men.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Allegedly, in the main, young Afghan asylum seekers,
0:02:39 > 0:02:42but it has taken five months and the events in Germany
0:02:42 > 0:02:45for the story to emerge, because although the police
0:02:45 > 0:02:48were aware of the crimes, they did not make them public,
0:02:48 > 0:02:51and that has left this country, which has always prided itself
0:02:51 > 0:02:53on its welcoming, open attitudes to refugees,
0:02:53 > 0:02:55grappling with some awkward questions.
0:02:55 > 0:03:00It was a cover-up, wasn't it?
0:03:00 > 0:03:05No, of course we did not cover up, but we did not tell.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08There are so many things we do not tell, because we have
0:03:08 > 0:03:12so much information, so many different things going on.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14We have hundreds of cases every 24 hours, and in this
0:03:14 > 0:03:16case, we did not tell.
0:03:16 > 0:03:17That was a mistake, a big mistake today,
0:03:18 > 0:03:19but of course it was not a cover-up.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22At the 170,000-strong festival in 2014, 17 teenagers said they had
0:03:22 > 0:03:26been sexually attacked and one complained of rape.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28A year later, there were 19 assaults and one rape.
0:03:28 > 0:03:37One person has been prosecuted.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Sweden's policy towards migrants has seen an about turn.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42This refugee centre used to offer advice
0:03:42 > 0:03:46to up to 1,000 refugees a day.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Since the government closed the border this month,
0:03:48 > 0:03:49it is down to 20.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Right-wing groups blame cultural differences for the new year attacks
0:03:51 > 0:03:53in Cologne and the assaults at Stockholm's festivals,
0:03:53 > 0:03:56but here they reject that kind of stereotyping.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00I might be naive, but I still do not see it as anything to do
0:04:00 > 0:04:02with cultural differences or religion and so forth.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05It is an individual acting upon themselves and misbehaving.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07What should Sweden do about it?
0:04:07 > 0:04:11Take them to justice, just like anywhere else.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15In Sweden, it is the police who are under flak.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19In this unashamedly liberal nation,
0:04:19 > 0:04:21there has been some soul-searching about their approach.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24If it is not a cover-up,
0:04:24 > 0:04:26what might explain this not emerging for so long?
0:04:26 > 0:04:30I think we all carry a bit of self-censorship.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32We are afraid of discussing this question
0:04:32 > 0:04:33because you can appear like a racist.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35This is a cultural thing for us.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38We do not go there, we do not go to dark places.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42That is maybe a problem for Swedes.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45That report from Katie Razzall in Stockholm.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48What happens if war or global warming threatens the key plants
0:04:48 > 0:04:51that the world depends on for food?
0:04:51 > 0:04:54A group of scientists has set up what it believes
0:04:54 > 0:04:57could be the answer, a deep freeze for thousands of seeds
0:04:57 > 0:05:00to act as a backup that could save millions of lives.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03The global seed vault is buried inside a mountain
0:05:03 > 0:05:06on the Arctic island of Svalbard.
0:05:06 > 0:05:11David Shukman was given special access to what is inside.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13In the punishing cold of an Arctic mountain,
0:05:13 > 0:05:18in the remote Svalbard islands,
0:05:18 > 0:05:22a doorway leads to what is meant to be the safest place on earth.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Scientists are on their way,
0:05:24 > 0:05:26approaching through this isolated and hostile terrain.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29I am with them.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32They are carrying a precious cargo of seeds, to be kept out of the way
0:05:32 > 0:05:35of whatever climate change might bring.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37How often do you get these deliveries?
0:05:37 > 0:05:40We have deliveries three times a year.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44The box of seeds is about to go through the first line of security.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47There are half a dozen in all.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49I have just come down the access tunnel
0:05:50 > 0:05:53that is cut into the mountain.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56This place is 130 metres above sea level, because if the worst happens
0:05:56 > 0:05:59and global warming melts all of the polar icecaps,
0:05:59 > 0:06:06this project will still be safe.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08The deeper inside the mountain we go,
0:06:08 > 0:06:11the more the temperature drops.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14The store is designed to survive any natural disaster.
0:06:14 > 0:06:19The seeds can last here for a very long time.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21It depends on what the crop is,
0:06:21 > 0:06:24but some of the crops may survive for more than 4,000 years.
0:06:24 > 0:06:25You're really imagining this place functioning,
0:06:25 > 0:06:27keeping the seeds safe for 4,000 years?
0:06:27 > 0:06:29It's difficult to say.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32I'm sure that the pharoahs thought their pyramids
0:06:32 > 0:06:36would last long, and they did.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40The last barrier to the store itself.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44Inside here, it is minus 18 Celsius.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48The rows of shelves are filling up with seeds from all over the world.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52There are samples of nearly half of the most important food crops,
0:06:52 > 0:06:55brought here just in case.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59Samples of seeds used to be held in glass test tubes.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02There are seeds from Syria, plants that are good at coping
0:07:02 > 0:07:05with drought, and some have just been returned to the Middle East.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07When harvests are ruined by extremes of weather,
0:07:07 > 0:07:10having backup copies of key seeds is essential.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Another threat is flooding,
0:07:12 > 0:07:14which can damage national stores of seeds.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17This happened in the Philippines.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20And with industrial scale farming, most food comes from
0:07:20 > 0:07:23just a dozen varieties of plants,
0:07:23 > 0:07:28so keeping different genetic types helps to guarantee supplies.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30It is for the survival of mankind in the future.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32We need diversity.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34All the different kinds of plant material,
0:07:34 > 0:07:38to get food for the future.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42We have a lot of problems now, climate change, environmental
0:07:42 > 0:07:47problems, and to tackle that, we need genetic variation.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51So, in these remote mountains, this place is meant to be
0:07:51 > 0:07:52a safeguard against apocalypse,
0:07:52 > 0:07:56an insurance policy for a warming world.
0:07:56 > 0:08:01David Shukman, BBC News, in Svalbard in the Arctic.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05The Hollywood epic The Revenant has led the way in the Oscar nominations
0:08:05 > 0:08:09as this year's film awards season kicked off this week.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12But there were no nods for Chinese films,
0:08:12 > 0:08:15in fact, only two Chinese films have ever been nominated
0:08:15 > 0:08:21for an Oscar for best foreign film. But could that be about to change?
0:08:21 > 0:08:23After this week's purchase by a Chinese company
0:08:23 > 0:08:28of a controlling stake in the Hollywood
0:08:28 > 0:08:36film studio Legendary Entertainment, the makers of Jurassic World,
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Godzilla and the Batman film The Dark Knight.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Red Squad, Blue Squad, take my lead.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47Star Wars opened in China over the weekend...
0:08:47 > 0:08:48We will crush the Resistance.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50..and took $53 million,
0:08:50 > 0:08:55enough to make any Hollywood mogul happy.
0:08:55 > 0:09:01Next year, China's expected to take more at the box office than the US.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04And this deal puts the country
0:09:04 > 0:09:06at the centre of global movie making.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10China's richest man takes over Hollywood's
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Legendary Entertainment,
0:09:13 > 0:09:17the maker of Jurassic World and Godzilla.
0:09:17 > 0:09:22China's film making has entered a golden decade, he says.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24This deal will break America's monopoly
0:09:24 > 0:09:27in the global movie industry.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29China's film fans can't get enough.
0:09:29 > 0:09:34There are 15 new screens constructed every day.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38Here in China, the average cinema goer is about 20.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42It's a young audience, ripe for megagrowth.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45In America, it's about 35.
0:09:45 > 0:09:51There's one other big difference too - politics.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55Thomas Toll runs Legendary Entertainment.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59He's not worried about the ultra-strict Chinese censor
0:09:59 > 0:10:03because his films aren't political.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05It's very hard.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07All we know how to do is to make things
0:10:07 > 0:10:09that we want to see, whether that's giant robots
0:10:09 > 0:10:13versus giant monsters or whatever it might be.
0:10:13 > 0:10:19Thankfully our fans here in China, so far, have liked it.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22A computer animation of the world's biggest studio complex
0:10:22 > 0:10:28now being built in eastern China.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Hollywood standards of production at Chinese costs.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35But can movie lovers everywhere and the Chinese censor
0:10:35 > 0:10:38both be kept happy?
0:10:45 > 0:10:49From me, Philipa Thomas, goodbye for now.
