:00:00. > :00:19.RB back at the top of the hour. Now, it is time for Reporters. .

:00:20. > :00:29.Hello and welcome to reporters. We send out correspondents to bring you

:00:30. > :00:36.the best stories from across the globe. This week, displaced and

:00:37. > :00:39.disabled. Mickey Fox reports from the refugee camps of Jordan and

:00:40. > :00:53.finds the most vulnerable struggling to cope. I wish that we had all died

:00:54. > :00:58.rather than live here. We joined the African migrants making a dangerous

:00:59. > :01:07.desert trek to Libya to get to Europe. I prefer to go to Europe.

:01:08. > :01:13.Even to risk your life? It is God who has the last word. A lifeline

:01:14. > :01:19.for fixed terms of India's victims of acid attacks. We meet the medics

:01:20. > :01:23.helping with free corrective cirque -- surgery.

:01:24. > :01:32.Thousands called for the resignation of the president of Brazil. Sao

:01:33. > :01:37.Paulo was at the heart of the Brazilian revival, it is now in the

:01:38. > :01:42.grip of a deep recession. The cheers are getting louder for English

:01:43. > :01:47.football league giant killers Leicester City but we ask why the

:01:48. > :01:52.Siamese foxes are so popular in Thailand. We tried to get hold of a

:01:53. > :01:57.Leicester City shirt but every single one of them in the country is

:01:58. > :02:04.sold out. We are looking at the latest idea to give the visitors

:02:05. > :02:09.flocking. And 50 years of the lines of Longleat, John Maguire joins the

:02:10. > :02:19.big cats and the big queues at the world's first safari park.

:02:20. > :02:25.Life in a Syrian refugee camp is pretty tough but if you are

:02:26. > :02:29.disabled, it is even tougher. It is thought nearly a third of refugees

:02:30. > :02:34.and camps in Jordan suffer a disability of some sort. Many have

:02:35. > :02:38.lost limbs or have serious health conditions. The Jordanian government

:02:39. > :02:43.has said it is overstretched and under resourced to look after the

:02:44. > :02:47.most tolerable. Mickey Fox has been to one of the main refugee camps in

:02:48. > :02:55.Jordan to find out what day-to-day life is like for them.

:02:56. > :03:03.This refugee camp in Jordan. War has left its mark. It is estimated that

:03:04. > :03:11.of the 80,000 Syrian refugees here, 24,000 have a disability or serious

:03:12. > :03:16.health condition. Five-year-old Malik is slowly getting used to

:03:17. > :03:22.walking with her frame. She lost her left leg when her home in Syria was

:03:23. > :03:29.bombed last year. She is still in pain but she is safe. How difficult

:03:30. > :03:36.is it for you as a mum in this situation? It is difficult. What can

:03:37. > :03:40.I say? If you come and see our place and our caravan, they are not fit

:03:41. > :03:45.for living in. Her mother did not want to show her face to protect her

:03:46. > :03:49.family still in Syria. God knows I wish that we had all died rather

:03:50. > :03:56.than live here and go through what we are going through. Getting around

:03:57. > :04:00.this camp the size of the city is difficult. Wheelchairs are seen as a

:04:01. > :04:06.luxury and the mobility scheme -- scooter is a novelty. If you

:04:07. > :04:13.actually lived here, it would be particularly tough for a lot of

:04:14. > :04:18.disabled people. Do they feel trapped? Because they cannot get

:04:19. > :04:25.out. But many don't live in these camps. 80% of all the refugees in

:04:26. > :04:33.Jordan live in the community, often hidden away and in poverty. Like

:04:34. > :04:38.here in the capital arm. This area is known as the Palestinian camp. It

:04:39. > :04:42.dates back decades but instead of just Palestinians, more and more

:04:43. > :04:50.Syrian refugees are living here. Why? Because it is cheap. It is very

:04:51. > :04:57.impractical if you have a disability. This man recently had a

:04:58. > :05:00.stroke and cannot leave his home without the help of his brother.

:05:01. > :05:06.Since fleeing Syria with his wife and children, the only apartment he

:05:07. > :05:11.can afford is on the third floor. For six months, he could not leave

:05:12. > :05:17.his home look after his family. But thanks to help from a charity, he is

:05:18. > :05:20.now slowly improving. Once you are isolated in that way, you are so

:05:21. > :05:24.much more reliant on your neighbours or if you are lucky, your family.

:05:25. > :05:29.Their physical condition, coupled with extreme economic financial

:05:30. > :05:37.challenges leads to much greater vulnerability. The recovery process

:05:38. > :05:42.can be a long one and many will need ongoing support for the rest of

:05:43. > :05:47.their lives. But since 2014, Syrian refugees are no longer eligible for

:05:48. > :05:55.free secondary health care, like physiotherapy and prosthetics. With

:05:56. > :05:58.around 1.4 million now living in Jordan, the government says that

:05:59. > :06:05.without more funding from the international community, the most

:06:06. > :06:10.vulnerable will go without. Jordan is almost saturated. You need to

:06:11. > :06:15.look at the interest of Jordanians, vis-a-vis the interest of Jordanians

:06:16. > :06:18.who are living in Jordan. As a country, as a government, our

:06:19. > :06:24.priority is serving the Jordanian people. These young Syrian men don't

:06:25. > :06:30.have much but they do have each other. They meet at this community

:06:31. > :06:35.Centre once a week. The lives have been changed for ever but they are

:06:36. > :06:42.resilient, they don't want sympathy, they what change. One, two, three,

:06:43. > :06:51.go. And despite everything, they won't be beaten.

:06:52. > :06:54.From the refugee camps of Jordan to the deserts of North Africa now

:06:55. > :06:59.where many start their journey to Europe in search for a better life.

:07:00. > :07:01.As the EU cracks down on people arriving in increased from Turkey,

:07:02. > :07:06.more and more people are risking their lives on the mirthless route

:07:07. > :07:11.across the Sahara to Libya, then over the Mediterranean to reach

:07:12. > :07:13.Europe. The International office for migration estimates 100,000 people

:07:14. > :07:19.passed through their last year alone. We travelled with some of

:07:20. > :07:27.them as they began a six-day desert trek across the Sahara.

:07:28. > :07:31.This is where the long road through the Sahara begins. In the desert of

:07:32. > :07:38.Niger. Several days dry from the border. They have come from all over

:07:39. > :07:45.the border -- West and Central Africa, with a better goal, life in

:07:46. > :07:49.Europe. Off they go, adrift in an ocean of sand, clinging to their

:07:50. > :07:54.dreams. Some of them may not survive the extreme heat when the sun comes

:07:55. > :08:03.up. Others may be left behind by the smugglers. But there will be no

:08:04. > :08:06.rescue mission. A rest stop on this perilous journey. Most of the

:08:07. > :08:13.migrants here have left countries with few jobs and limited prospects.

:08:14. > :08:20.This is their alternative. Young men but also teenage girls. And

:08:21. > :08:27.children. Some, like Samuel, have fled war. No problem, I have to take

:08:28. > :08:33.the risk. You know when you want to achieve something, you have to take

:08:34. > :08:42.risks. That is why I prefer to go to Europe. Even to risk your life? It

:08:43. > :08:48.is God's last word. I must make it for my family. Migration is big

:08:49. > :08:54.business in the Sahara. There will be officials and soldiers to bribe,

:08:55. > :09:01.there will be militia to pay. For the smugglers, nothing is more new

:09:02. > :09:05.bridges. -- lucrative. We charge different prices, depending on where

:09:06. > :09:13.they come from. On average, the ride to the Libyan border costs them more

:09:14. > :09:16.than $200. We've only been here for a couple of hours and we have seen

:09:17. > :09:21.dozens of these pick-up trucks, hundreds of migrants. There will be

:09:22. > :09:25.hundreds more tonight. The borders are being tightened in Europe but

:09:26. > :09:31.how do you stop this? Just a few miles down the road, more migrants

:09:32. > :09:36.are preparing to set off. The ancient trading post about the dash,

:09:37. > :09:40.home to smugglers and traffickers for centuries, a transit hub where

:09:41. > :09:45.Mike and streaming of a new life cross path with those returning to

:09:46. > :09:51.their old lives. These miners have turned around, do defeated and

:09:52. > :10:01.destitute. They were starved beaten during their journey, all are going

:10:02. > :10:07.home, they have failed. 28-year-old James from Iberia wanted to study

:10:08. > :10:14.computer and in Italy. He took great risks to which the Libyan coast. But

:10:15. > :10:19.the state of the boats used to cross the Mediterranean terrified him. I

:10:20. > :10:23.was very much afraid to get on the boat because people tell you it is

:10:24. > :10:29.good, the boat is good, you go there, you will be there within

:10:30. > :10:35.three hours. They are all liars. The chance to succeed is 20%. The chance

:10:36. > :10:43.to be killed is 80%. And the chance to arrive is not 100%. But for each

:10:44. > :10:48.migrant backtracking towards their home country, another truck loaded

:10:49. > :10:57.with dozens more is already speeding through the desert. And the exodus

:10:58. > :11:01.continues. It is just months before Brazil

:11:02. > :11:06.hosts this years Olympics but the country is facing a major political

:11:07. > :11:11.crisis. Pressure is growing on the embattled president after the

:11:12. > :11:17.biggest party in Brazil decided to leave her ruling coalition. She is

:11:18. > :11:19.also fighting moves to impeach a following allegations she mini

:11:20. > :11:26.plated treasury accounts to hide a growing deficit. As Laura describes,

:11:27. > :11:33.she has described tends to oust her as a coup. This is the Brazil the

:11:34. > :11:36.country wanted you to see, the first Latin American host of the Olympics,

:11:37. > :11:43.a rising star of the developing world. Instead, this young democracy

:11:44. > :11:49.is in crisis leaves have marched on the street and are calling for the

:11:50. > :11:54.president to be impeached over claims she mini plague the country's

:11:55. > :12:01.account books. They may be about to get their wish. -- she manipulated.

:12:02. > :12:05.The President's biggest ally, the largest party in Brazil, have

:12:06. > :12:10.abandoned her, ending a 30 year alliance. President Rousseff

:12:11. > :12:18.remained defiant. Impeachment without proof of a crime is a coup.

:12:19. > :12:25.But her political future is now in doubt. She is probably finished. If

:12:26. > :12:36.you have the impeachment process, you have opportunity to resolve the

:12:37. > :12:39.political instability. Brazilians are angry at alleged widespread

:12:40. > :12:45.corruption among politicians and businesses. Several companies under

:12:46. > :12:47.scrutiny as part of a money-laundering and bribery scandal

:12:48. > :12:52.are also involved in Olympic projects. Building of one venue has

:12:53. > :12:58.been halted while investigations continue. The economy is in

:12:59. > :13:03.freefall. Sao Paulo, the Southern hemisphere's biggest city was at the

:13:04. > :13:07.heart of a Brazilian revival and is now in the grip of a deep recession.

:13:08. > :13:13.And in Plymouth is on the rise and money is simply not getting to where

:13:14. > :13:18.it is needed. That includes those fighting the Zita academic, a virus

:13:19. > :13:23.thought to cause a birth defect. This lab is at the front line trying

:13:24. > :13:27.to stop it spreading and build a vaccine. They have been promised

:13:28. > :13:32.millions of dollars of government money but are now pleading for cash.

:13:33. > :13:36.We are running against time. We want to have this product out in the

:13:37. > :13:41.market in order to save lives and save people from having

:13:42. > :13:47.microcephaly. The more we wait, the more will have problems. Brazil

:13:48. > :13:51.needs a strong hand but with 60% of its elected politicians embroiled in

:13:52. > :13:59.some kind of scandal, whose hands are clean enough to grapple with

:14:00. > :14:02.these wide reaching problems? 100 operations in two weeks, it

:14:03. > :14:07.sounds like the sort of work load that would worry any surgeon. But a

:14:08. > :14:10.medical team from Britain and Denmark are doing this for a

:14:11. > :14:15.holiday. They have travelled to India to help the hundreds of women

:14:16. > :14:19.who are victims of acid attacks. They are providing free corrective

:14:20. > :14:24.surgery to heal the terrible scarring which often leaves victims

:14:25. > :14:27.shunned by society. We went to meet them in Delhi and to talk to some of

:14:28. > :14:32.the women whose lives they have changed. The 13 strong medical team

:14:33. > :14:41.is preparing for a surgical marathon. They will undertake more

:14:42. > :14:49.than 100 procedures in less than two weeks. Trying to improve the quality

:14:50. > :14:53.of four people like this woman. TRANSLATION: When I go out, I doubt

:14:54. > :15:00.show my face because people stare at me. But when I am back home I take

:15:01. > :15:04.my scarf off and I feel normal. She is cheerful in spite of the terrible

:15:05. > :15:11.injuries she suffered when she was doused in asset by a spurned

:15:12. > :15:16.admirer. -- acid. She's knows -- she shows me her most treasured

:15:17. > :15:24.possessions. I was attacked three months after this photo was taken.

:15:25. > :15:27.She was just 14 at the time. Around 1000 people are reckoned to be

:15:28. > :15:31.attacked with acid in India each year. They are supposed to get free

:15:32. > :15:36.treatment but often the quality isn't good. That is why this woman

:15:37. > :15:41.has come here. The idea is to make it easier for her to eat and drink

:15:42. > :15:45.and breathe through her nose and two also improve the way she looks. You

:15:46. > :15:52.might think it would be depressing to operate on people who have been

:15:53. > :15:59.deliberately disfigured but the two patients and inspiration. Should

:16:00. > :16:02.have said that the true beauty lies within, not on the outside, so she

:16:03. > :16:09.is not really feeling sorry for herself. And the medics are pretty

:16:10. > :16:13.inspiring, too. They are all volunteers working on their holidays

:16:14. > :16:20.and paying for their own flights. Sometimes I feel if I work in Age

:16:21. > :16:25.UK, if I am away, someone else will step in to do my job but here, you

:16:26. > :16:29.feel that you have come to make a difference. I am sure she will be

:16:30. > :16:34.pleased with the result because now her lip is up so she won't dribble

:16:35. > :16:39.when she is drinking. That will build her confidence and help her

:16:40. > :16:43.full bill her ambition so that she can get a job and take care of

:16:44. > :16:50.herself. Meanwhile, the team are already working on the next patient.

:16:51. > :16:55.What a way to spend your holiday. Now it could be the biggest upset in

:16:56. > :16:59.English Premier League football history. Leicester City look odds-on

:17:00. > :17:06.favourite to take the league title for the first time in the club

:17:07. > :17:09.history. But it is not just English fans getting excited about it. It

:17:10. > :17:15.has already caused a celebration in Thailand, home of the club of Mac

:17:16. > :17:26.billionaire owners. We report from Bangkok. In a country long dominated

:17:27. > :17:31.by the red power of Manchester united and Liverpool, this is

:17:32. > :17:35.something new and blue. Passion for Leicester, a club but until recently

:17:36. > :17:43.few people here had heard of and even fewer people could pronounce.

:17:44. > :17:48.The improbable success is drawing in new supporters here in the land of

:17:49. > :17:52.smiles? How long did you support Manchester United? Ten years. And

:17:53. > :17:57.now you have switched to Leicester? Why? Because the owner is from

:17:58. > :18:02.Thailand and also because of my friends. It is because they are

:18:03. > :18:10.owned by Thailand says this former Liverpool supporter. And proud of

:18:11. > :18:14.that. The club's owner has begun laying on free food and beer for the

:18:15. > :18:23.fans while they watch as the's seemingly unstoppable rise. Winning

:18:24. > :18:29.again here against Crystal Palace. Last year, they had to shut down

:18:30. > :18:32.this shop and the metro station because no one was buying. This

:18:33. > :18:41.year, every Leicester shirt in Thailand is sold out. But will it

:18:42. > :18:46.last? Can and glamorous Leicester upstage the big names Briton Mark

:18:47. > :18:53.especially the young, whose loyalties aren't fixed yet. We went

:18:54. > :18:56.to a practice match to find out. For this exercise, we try to get hold of

:18:57. > :19:02.a Leicester City shirt but every single one of them in the country

:19:03. > :19:06.has sold out. So we had to bring up a picture on the laptop and we will

:19:07. > :19:11.show the boys and see what the awareness is of the club that is top

:19:12. > :19:17.of the Premier League. Do any of you know whose football team is this?

:19:18. > :19:22.Leicester City! Does everyone support Leicester? They certainly

:19:23. > :19:27.knew about Leicester. But they weren't quite so sure that they were

:19:28. > :19:35.ready to support the Siamese foxes, as they are known here. Thai

:19:36. > :19:40.football has come a long way in the past ten years. Local clubs now have

:19:41. > :19:44.a strong and noisy following. Many of them also follow a Premier League

:19:45. > :19:53.side. Will they now switch to Leicester? TRANSLATION: I have been

:19:54. > :19:58.a Chelsea fan for a long time but I wouldn't mind rooting for a Thai

:19:59. > :20:05.owned club that has bounced back from relegation. Secretly, I am

:20:06. > :20:09.wishing Leicester well, but I am still a Liverpool fan. Much depends

:20:10. > :20:16.on what happens in Leicester's remaining games. But if they do

:20:17. > :20:20.triumph, they can tap into an almost bottomless pool of football passion

:20:21. > :20:27.here in Thailand and plenty of patriotic pride.

:20:28. > :20:32.For 50 years, big cats and big queues have been a common sight in

:20:33. > :20:35.the wilds of Wiltshire. In 1936, dozens of lions were brought to the

:20:36. > :20:42.county from zoos across Europe and gained dealers in Africa, forming

:20:43. > :20:45.the first safari park of its kind at Longleat. Since then, millions have

:20:46. > :20:52.come face-to-face with lions, tigers and rhinos. John Maguire reports on

:20:53. > :20:57.half a century of -- on the lines of Longleat.

:20:58. > :21:02.We are about to go and feed the lions for the Tigers and the

:21:03. > :21:09.cheaters. Luckily, this is why improve. Suddenly, I feel like

:21:10. > :21:21.Daniel about to enter the line's then. But first, it is Tiger time.

:21:22. > :21:28.Twice a week, they feed us. -- we feed them. They chased us. Who

:21:29. > :21:35.ordered the ribs? Who ordered the Brum? When they first come running,

:21:36. > :21:41.they lick their lips and they've X you with huge unblinking lights --

:21:42. > :21:47.eyes, and you wonder which meet they are more interested in. The

:21:48. > :21:51.beautiful, fantastic fight. -- site. This is the latest idea to keep the

:21:52. > :21:57.visitors flocking to the site of Longleat. This all started when the

:21:58. > :22:03.man met the errors could -- aristocrat. What followed was the

:22:04. > :22:10.creation of the world for Mac first safari park. Next, we're heading

:22:11. > :22:15.across the lake to gorilla island to meet one of the par putt Mac oldest

:22:16. > :22:20.and most distinguished residents, Nico, who enjoys watching

:22:21. > :22:24.television. It was something they brought over for him when he had to

:22:25. > :22:30.do a quarantine period back in the 1980s when he first arrived. He had

:22:31. > :22:35.to stay in the house for six months. We heard some people had used it

:22:36. > :22:40.with chimpanzees, that television pacified them, kept them calm, so we

:22:41. > :22:46.tried it and it worked well and we never took it away. His favourite

:22:47. > :22:51.programme, wildlife documentaries. Among the history and the splendour

:22:52. > :22:57.of the house, I meet Valerie. Her husband Gerry was a local vet back

:22:58. > :23:09.in 1966 and suddenly went from treating proceeds to presidents. --

:23:10. > :23:13.cats to predators. The inside of a lion is the same, only a larger

:23:14. > :23:20.version of a cat. That is how he had to deal with it. Two of Longleat's

:23:21. > :23:28.longest serving staff, Darren and Ian, share 70 years of experience

:23:29. > :23:31.and remember simpler times. It is like the Forth Bridge, it never

:23:32. > :23:35.stops, and you can see in the distance, all the cars coming in.

:23:36. > :23:41.That is how it was in the first place. The Lions were in an old

:23:42. > :23:46.railway shed. That was their house. Now we have a proper indoor house.

:23:47. > :23:51.It is amazing, with technology, we use things out that in the 1960s, we

:23:52. > :23:57.had meters to read the amount of UV is, we have laser thermometers that

:23:58. > :24:03.can see how warm the soil is to lay eggs. How these guys did it back

:24:04. > :24:07.then, no idea. But that is how it has progressed. The original vision

:24:08. > :24:11.for Longleat was to bring Africa to England and for the past 50 years,

:24:12. > :24:20.this corner of Wiltshire has been wild.

:24:21. > :24:23.And that is all from us this week. From me, goodbye for now.
