:00:21. > :00:28.I'm Phillipa Thomas from here in the world News room, we send
:00:29. > :00:35.correspondents to bring you the best stories from across the globe. This
:00:36. > :00:40.week, refugees in their own land. We report from inside Syria, meeting
:00:41. > :00:47.the Syrian families displaced by war, struggling to survive. We are
:00:48. > :00:50.told they are 25 families living here. Most of them have been
:00:51. > :00:56.displaced several times. They actually have to pay rent to live
:00:57. > :01:02.here even though conditions, as you see, really, really bad. This is a
:01:03. > :01:10.party that has gone very flat for Donald Trump. And a close call for
:01:11. > :01:13.Clinton. Jon Sopel analyses the results of America's first electoral
:01:14. > :01:19.contest in the race for the White House.
:01:20. > :01:23.Declan Harvey meets the man transgender returning to Jamaica to
:01:24. > :01:32.reveal his new identity to his family. You are my child. I still
:01:33. > :01:36.love you, no matter what. And John Sutcliffe joined thousands
:01:37. > :01:42.of migrants stranded at a train station trying to get home for
:01:43. > :01:45.Chinese New Year. It is little wonder that some migrant workers
:01:46. > :01:50.have decided enough is enough. They work long hours are long way from
:01:51. > :01:57.home and have to face this kind of travel chaos every year.
:01:58. > :02:01.As the conflict in Syria escalates, the humanitarian situation remains
:02:02. > :02:06.dire. Millions have fled the country and for those who remained, it is a
:02:07. > :02:09.struggle to survive. The UN estimates the number of internally
:02:10. > :02:14.displaced people in Syria at more than 6.5 million. Damascus houses
:02:15. > :02:19.the second largest number of them after Aleppo in the North. We have
:02:20. > :02:24.been given access to camps in eastern Damascus to meet the people
:02:25. > :02:30.who are living like refugees in their own country.
:02:31. > :02:33.It is a run down and dirty place to play, just a stone pars-macro from
:02:34. > :02:41.war battered neighbourhood on the eastern edge of Damascus.
:02:42. > :02:51.These children take us to the unfinished building they call home.
:02:52. > :02:55.We are told there are about 25 families living here. Most of them
:02:56. > :02:59.have been displaced several times. They actually have to pay rent to
:03:00. > :03:06.live here, even though conditions, as you can see, art really do every
:03:07. > :03:10.bad. Electricity is a luxury. Three hours a day if they are lucky. I
:03:11. > :03:20.follow one of the residents into their flat. It is lighting a candle
:03:21. > :03:25.because they have no electricity. Apparently, the place is infested
:03:26. > :03:34.with mice and rats. Mohammed lives here with her husband and five
:03:35. > :03:41.children. TRANSLATION: We used to live with dignity in our own houses.
:03:42. > :03:50.Now we are living with charity, we escaped only with the clothes we
:03:51. > :03:56.were wearing. We went to the western side of the city to a government run
:03:57. > :03:59.shelter. Before the war, this was going to be a school but it never
:04:00. > :04:04.happened. As soon as the displacement crisis began, the
:04:05. > :04:08.government decided to turn it into a temporary shelter. There are 90
:04:09. > :04:12.families here but the number keeps changing because people come here as
:04:13. > :04:17.a first step and they leave as soon as they find someone else to stay.
:04:18. > :04:26.It is clean and aid is close at hand. But government and charity
:04:27. > :04:31.hand-outs don't make up for the loss of livelihood. Before the war, this
:04:32. > :04:44.man was prosperous with a large family. Now, he has lost almost
:04:45. > :04:51.everything. Mohammed, my 19-year-old son was killed first. 43 days later,
:04:52. > :05:00.my second son died. In 14 months, lost four sons. Back at the flat,
:05:01. > :05:07.this girl gets a lesson from her big sister. Despite their displacement,
:05:08. > :05:15.the girls still get an education. More importantly, their family is
:05:16. > :05:18.intact. They still live on the edge. TRANSLATION: We are always under
:05:19. > :05:25.threat of eviction. The owner can kick ass out whenever he wants. Most
:05:26. > :05:29.of these children's lives, Syria has been at war. Even away from raging
:05:30. > :05:36.battles, they are still not at peace.
:05:37. > :05:41.Now, deepening crisis in Ethiopian. The UN Secretary General Wizard of
:05:42. > :05:46.the country's Brad Pitt region this week to four attention of the
:05:47. > :05:50.worsening hunger crisis. More than 10 million people are short of food
:05:51. > :05:58.amid one of the worst droughts for decades. Some aid is coming in but
:05:59. > :06:03.in eastern Ethiopian, it is far short of what is needed.
:06:04. > :06:09.The skies are dark but the land is dry. Two people here, the animals
:06:10. > :06:18.are everything. But drought has taken their cattle. Their carcasses
:06:19. > :06:23.were scattered everywhere, this cattle herd told me. The stench was
:06:24. > :06:27.so bad, we had to bury them all. From what survived, there was
:06:28. > :06:32.nothing to eat. Mother animals or people can live here any more. And
:06:33. > :06:37.so they have travelled to a far horizon. Hardly an oasis but at
:06:38. > :06:41.least it is a central axis of the place where the aid can be
:06:42. > :06:46.delivered. They have known crab here before but none as bad as this, they
:06:47. > :06:51.say. The area affected is far wider than that hit by famine more than 30
:06:52. > :06:57.years ago. I lost all my livestock, she told me, so we are here to seek
:06:58. > :07:02.support. There is no past year, no water, we have never seen anything
:07:03. > :07:09.like this before. -- no past year. Help is being given to those
:07:10. > :07:14.sticking it out. This tank has two days of water for five households.
:07:15. > :07:19.In axis of all places, the government is helping. Food rations
:07:20. > :07:22.are being given out but the UN world food programme is so underfunded,
:07:23. > :07:29.Ethiopia is making up the difference for now. Well, the food aid is
:07:30. > :07:33.getting through, people are not starving. The Ethiopian government
:07:34. > :07:37.is doing a great deal to deal with this situation but this drought is
:07:38. > :07:41.over a fast area of the country. There is a shortfall from the amount
:07:42. > :07:46.of money that is required versus what is being provided. If that
:07:47. > :07:50.doesn't come over the next few months, these people are facing a
:07:51. > :07:54.much greater crisis. And, so, the United Nations Secretary General
:07:55. > :08:02.came here to highlight the problem. Nearly ?1 billion is needed just is
:08:03. > :08:07.funded. This is not the Ethiopian of 1984 when hundreds of thousands died
:08:08. > :08:13.of hunger. The new railway line broke here all the way from the
:08:14. > :08:17.coast. But a serious drought, the impact of El Nino, that has left
:08:18. > :08:27.more than 10 million people desperate. It is now not whether the
:08:28. > :08:31.rain comes but whether help arrives. He is the man who hates losers but
:08:32. > :08:37.this week, Donald Trump have to admit defeat. In the first public
:08:38. > :08:39.vote in the race to be the Republican presidential candidate,
:08:40. > :08:45.the billionaire businessman widely seen as the front runner was beaten
:08:46. > :08:49.by Senator Ted Cruz of Texas. The front runner on the Democratic side
:08:50. > :08:59.Hillary Linton won by just the narrowest of margins. -- Hillary
:09:00. > :09:05.Clinton. Jon Sopel reports. Donald Trump doing what he does,
:09:06. > :09:09.projecting his self as life's ultimate winner. This is the fanfare
:09:10. > :09:13.literally he organised for himself when he arrived in Des Moines this
:09:14. > :09:19.weekend. The theme tune from the movie Air Force One. But then
:09:20. > :09:27.reality intervened and the man who hates losers lost. We will go on to
:09:28. > :09:32.get the Republican nomination and we will go on to easily beat Hillary or
:09:33. > :09:38.Bernie or whoever the help they throw up there. Thank you very much.
:09:39. > :09:42.Well, Donald Trump has given, not a victory speech, but a concession to
:09:43. > :09:47.Ted Cruz. However, he says he will go on and hopes he will win in New
:09:48. > :09:54.Hampshire. This is a party that has gone very flat for Donald Trump. And
:09:55. > :10:00.when I caught up with his son, he told me the fight goes on. We are
:10:01. > :10:04.working just as hard in New Hampshire and Carolina and Nevada
:10:05. > :10:11.and we're not going to stop. The winner was a Conservative insurgent
:10:12. > :10:13.Senator Ted Cruz, another figure lowest by the Republican
:10:14. > :10:20.establishment, not that popular with his daughter either, by the look of
:10:21. > :10:27.it. But he had a great ground game, typically targeting his right-wing
:10:28. > :10:31.evangelical face. Tonight is a victory for courageous conservatives
:10:32. > :10:35.across all -- Iowa and across this great nation. The other more
:10:36. > :10:40.significant victory came for this man with a red tie and the Perma
:10:41. > :10:47.smile. Yes, Marco Rubio only came third but he exceeded expectations
:10:48. > :10:53.and has a motion is the clear front runner for mainstream Republicans.
:10:54. > :10:59.And on the Democratic party site, half a dozen times last night, this
:11:00. > :11:04.is what it came down to, in the most eye watering early tight contest
:11:05. > :11:10.ever held. Delicate for this precinct, Hillary Clinton. Hillary
:11:11. > :11:17.Clinton squeaked it and her victory speech could be summed up in one
:11:18. > :11:26.word. Few! As I stand here tonight, breathing a big sigh of relief,
:11:27. > :11:31.thank you, Iowa. Bernie Sanders did spectacularly running her so close.
:11:32. > :11:37.Next week, he hopes to go one better and beat her. His first campaign
:11:38. > :11:44.stop on the back of a pick-up at 430 in the morning. Clearly, there is to
:11:45. > :11:48.be no slackening of the place. -- of the pace.
:11:49. > :11:50.This week, the threat from the Zika virus became an international
:11:51. > :11:57.emergency. The mosquito borne disease has been linked to brain
:11:58. > :12:02.abnormalities in thousands of babies in Brazil and 20 other countries
:12:03. > :12:05.have reported cases of the disease. Debbie Chipman has been to a
:12:06. > :12:09.hospital in Brazil's North East where women are waiting to be tested
:12:10. > :12:13.for blood virus. The young woman four months pregnant
:12:14. > :12:20.has just heard she may be infected with the Zika virus. An agonising
:12:21. > :12:26.glimpse into a nightmare now declared a global health emergency.
:12:27. > :12:35.Another pregnant woman who asked us not to show her face says she
:12:36. > :12:39.definitely has the virus. She has red eyes, to buckle symptom of the
:12:40. > :12:47.cover. She is due to give birth in three months' time. She is waiting
:12:48. > :12:52.for the results tests. I'm feeling worried, she says, because she has
:12:53. > :12:56.excellent rash and she also -- which are also indicators of the virus.
:12:57. > :13:04.Here at the present of the outbreak, the worst thing is the uncertainty.
:13:05. > :13:09.Nobody knows if the cap affects just the beginning of pregnancy all all
:13:10. > :13:16.of it. Nobody gave us advice, she says. What is so disturbing about
:13:17. > :13:19.what is happening here is that the women are turning up with a lot of
:13:20. > :13:24.highly personal very pressing questions with the doctors cannot
:13:25. > :13:28.answer. Above all, what damage can see could do to their babies. The
:13:29. > :13:38.painful moment when test results are handed out. Evidence is growing that
:13:39. > :13:46.the buyer -- viruses to grow -- blamed for... When you see the
:13:47. > :13:51.ultrasound is something wrong, you have to tell her. And then you know
:13:52. > :14:01.that after you tell her, she will ask him any questions. If the baby
:14:02. > :14:09.will walk, will hear properly, will see properly, and we don't know.
:14:10. > :14:18.Like several thousand babies in Brazil, she's -- she was born with a
:14:19. > :14:23.small brain. Unless she is rocked all the time, she becomes agitated.
:14:24. > :14:30.So far, nobody knows whether virus comes from. For medical specialists,
:14:31. > :14:32.this is uncharted territory and the emergency declaration should bring
:14:33. > :14:39.them more funding. It is badly needed. It isn't just babies brains
:14:40. > :14:43.that are being damaged. This tittle boy not only has a small head but
:14:44. > :14:48.his legs and arms don't work. He is one of six babies with extreme
:14:49. > :14:58.disabilities blamed on the Zika virus. The problem with these babies
:14:59. > :15:07.is with the motor neurone that make muscles move. This baby has some
:15:08. > :15:11.muscles without functions. All this adds to the urgency of killing the
:15:12. > :15:15.mosquitoes that carry the virus but reaching them is difficult so
:15:16. > :15:22.officials have a new power, to break into homes that they need to. The
:15:23. > :15:27.key is public support. So, the authorities are harnessing the
:15:28. > :15:32.carnival spirit. Ski tow costume raises awareness of the danger.
:15:33. > :15:38.Anything to get people to join the fight against the insects. The
:15:39. > :15:42.reality is that where ever you have a sweltering tropical climate, water
:15:43. > :15:48.everywhere, and poor sanitation, it is going to be almost impossible to
:15:49. > :15:50.wipe out mosquitoes. That means whatever international action is
:15:51. > :15:57.taken, one thing is clear, the threat of the Zika virus will be
:15:58. > :16:01.around for years to come. All day, as Michaela rocks her baby, she
:16:02. > :16:08.worries about how she is going to cope. This grant shows there is some
:16:09. > :16:16.brain function but no one can tell how this crisis will unfold.
:16:17. > :16:20.There has been a significant rise in the number of people in Britain
:16:21. > :16:24.seeking medical advice about gender reassignment. That is when people
:16:25. > :16:30.feel they were born in the wrong body. And have treatment to change
:16:31. > :16:35.it. It is an emotional challenge and it seems even more so if you are
:16:36. > :16:40.brought up in Jamaica. Romario was born there as a goal but felt he was
:16:41. > :16:47.a boy. He fled to Britain to escape his abusive father. Declan Harvey
:16:48. > :16:52.joined him on a journey back to Jamaica to meet his father.
:16:53. > :17:12.Life is very different form male. He had been living there as a
:17:13. > :17:17.gay woman but had suffered filers, some at the hands of his father. It
:17:18. > :17:24.is my opportunity to close that book now. Jamaica has a reputation for
:17:25. > :17:29.being hostile to gay and transgender people. They are not protected by
:17:30. > :17:35.anti-discrimination laws, homosexuality is illegal. Being man
:17:36. > :17:43.in Jamaica is not just about being gay and alpha man, you have to be
:17:44. > :17:44.head of the household. I remember the nights when I ran away from my
:17:45. > :18:02.dad. Being in Jamaica was constant year, campaigners held their first
:18:03. > :18:07.Gay pride here. They said they did not march in the streets but we able
:18:08. > :18:12.to host the event is a sign of growing acceptance. Judgment Day.
:18:13. > :18:15.Romario's father had been told about the transition but this is the first
:18:16. > :18:36.time they have seen or spoken to each other in almost a decade.
:18:37. > :18:46.Are you disgusted by me whatever? I never used to think something like
:18:47. > :18:53.that was for real. Deep down I always felt I wanted a son. I cannot
:18:54. > :18:58.make a promise to refer to you as he. But, the thing is, you are my
:18:59. > :19:06.child, I still love you, matter what. After filming, his father
:19:07. > :19:14.posted a photo of his new son on social media, another sign of
:19:15. > :19:18.attitudes changing. Now, if you think your morning
:19:19. > :19:22.commute is bad, spare a thought for rail passengers in southern China.
:19:23. > :19:26.This week, 50,000 of them were stranded by bad weather. It is the
:19:27. > :19:30.busiest time of year as many as tragic getaway for the Chinese New
:19:31. > :19:34.Year. Many who found themselves stuck at the station are migrant
:19:35. > :19:41.workers from the countryside that usually face long difficult journeys
:19:42. > :19:44.home for this annual holiday. Johnson's worth joined them for
:19:45. > :19:48.possibly China's worst ever rush hour.
:19:49. > :19:53.This week, this train station has looked more like the venue for a
:19:54. > :20:00.giant rock concert. Although it has been a lot less fun. These
:20:01. > :20:06.extraordinary scenes of congestion are being blamed on the sheer weight
:20:07. > :20:10.of numbers as well as bad weather. Many of the stranded on migrant
:20:11. > :20:26.workers, desperate to get home after months away. It is like a dumpling
:20:27. > :20:32.in a bowl. I feel very tired. But I think about my parents at home, I
:20:33. > :20:38.feel very warm and eager to come home earlier. But adding to the
:20:39. > :20:43.holiday woes this year is a far larger concern. China's industrial
:20:44. > :20:46.landscape is changing, the factories, was the centrepiece of
:20:47. > :20:53.this economy, are relocating to countries where wages are lower. So,
:20:54. > :20:58.many migrants are packing their bags for the last time. Fuelling the
:20:59. > :21:05.first rock in China's migrant population in three decades. Didn't
:21:06. > :21:10.the president say that if you work hard and stick to your dreams, you
:21:11. > :21:16.will get your reward? We did but we have nothing to show for it. It is
:21:17. > :21:22.little wonder that some migrant workers may have decided enough is
:21:23. > :21:26.enough. They work long hours, long way from home, and have to face this
:21:27. > :21:30.kind of travel chaos every year. For many of them, it is the only once a
:21:31. > :21:34.year opportunity they get to reconnect with families, including
:21:35. > :21:41.young children left behind in the villages. The authorities say the
:21:42. > :21:46.backlog of passengers has mostly now been cleared after extra trains were
:21:47. > :21:53.laid on. China's migrants on the move again but into an increasingly
:21:54. > :21:57.uncertain future. To the Indian state of Corral where
:21:58. > :22:04.for centuries, they have practised the art of Maskell Indian dance
:22:05. > :22:06.mixed with drama, elaborate make-up and costumes, it takes of practice.
:22:07. > :22:29.Of the artform is dying out. -- the state of Kerala.
:22:30. > :22:33.This dance is developed on the stage around 200 years ago, these
:22:34. > :22:39.performers were taught by the final graduating class of the school that
:22:40. > :22:47.closed in the 1940s. These artists may be the last batch of people in
:22:48. > :22:51.this style of dancing. And they aren't teaching anyone knew, causing
:22:52. > :23:00.some to worry about the future of traditional dancing. We are at
:23:01. > :23:07.500-year-old feudal home in the sleepy south Indian village. Up
:23:08. > :23:12.until the 1940s, it was a dance school run by a family. One of the
:23:13. > :23:22.artist that danced on the stage was my great-grandfather. He won two of
:23:23. > :23:30.India's highest civilian borders for his dancing. Even though he was a
:23:31. > :23:33.student and put it here, he has been here from his very young age. So, he
:23:34. > :23:54.also studied this dance. This man is the only man alive who
:23:55. > :24:31.still learned this dance at the dance school.
:24:32. > :24:38.By the 1940s, changing feudal traditions saw small dance schools
:24:39. > :25:00.replaced by institutions. Now, students are prepared for the
:25:01. > :25:05.real world with lessons in English and Hindi replacing 11 hour days of
:25:06. > :25:10.just dance. But some believe targeted training will lead to the
:25:11. > :25:19.end of high standard performances like these.
:25:20. > :25:21.And that is all from us this week. From me, Philippa Thomas, goodbye
:25:22. > :25:24.for now.
