football league giant killers Leicester City but we ask why

:01:00.:01:01.

the Siamese foxes are so popular in Thailand.

:01:02.:01:06.

We tried to get hold of a Leicester City shirt but every

:01:07.:01:09.

single one of them in the country is sold out.

:01:10.:01:20.

Life in a Syrian refugee camp is pretty tough

:01:21.:01:23.

but if you are disabled, it is even tougher.

:01:24.:01:25.

It is thought nearly a third of refugees

:01:26.:01:28.

and camps in Jordan suffer a disability of some sort.

:01:29.:01:30.

Many have lost limbs or have serious health

:01:31.:01:34.

The Jordanian government has said it is overstretched and under

:01:35.:01:42.

resourced to look after the most vulnerable.

:01:43.:01:45.

Mickey Fox has been to one of the main refugee camps in Jordan

:01:46.:01:48.

to find out what day-to-day life is like for them.

:01:49.:01:51.

It is estimated that of the 80,000 Syrian refugees here,

:01:52.:01:59.

24,000 have a disability or serious health condition.

:02:00.:02:06.

Five-year-old Malik is slowly getting used to walking

:02:07.:02:08.

She lost her left leg when her home in Syria was bombed last year.

:02:09.:02:16.

She is still in pain but she is safe.

:02:17.:02:21.

How difficult is it for you as a mum in this

:02:22.:02:23.

If you come and see our place and our caravan, they are not fit

:02:24.:02:31.

God knows I wish that we had all died rather

:02:32.:02:38.

than live here and go through what we are going through.

:02:39.:02:41.

Getting around this camp the size of the city is difficult.

:02:42.:02:46.

Wheelchairs are seen as a luxury and the mobility

:02:47.:02:49.

80% of all the refugees in Jordan live in the community,

:02:50.:03:07.

This area is known as the Palestinian camp.

:03:08.:03:19.

This man recently had a stroke and cannot leave his home

:03:20.:03:22.

Since fleeing Syria with his wife and children, the only apartment

:03:23.:03:26.

For six months, he could not leave his home look after his family.

:03:27.:03:31.

But thanks to help from a charity, he is

:03:32.:03:33.

Once you are isolated in that way, you are so much more reliant

:03:34.:03:37.

on your neighbours or if you are lucky, your family.

:03:38.:03:39.

Their physical condition, coupled with extreme economic

:03:40.:03:41.

financial challenges leads to much greater

The recovery process can be a long one and many will need

:03:44.:03:50.

ongoing support for the rest of their lives.

:03:51.:03:55.

But since 2014, Syrian refugees are no longer eligible for free

:03:56.:03:57.

secondary health care, like physiotherapy and prosthetics.

:03:58.:04:02.

With around 1.4 million now living in Jordan,

:04:03.:04:05.

the government says that without more funding

:04:06.:04:08.

from the international community, the most

:04:09.:04:11.

You need to look at the interest of Jordanians,

:04:12.:04:21.

vis-a-vis the interest of non-Jordanians who are living in

:04:22.:04:25.

As a country, as a government, our priority is serving

:04:26.:04:29.

These young Syrian men don't have much but they do have each

:04:30.:04:33.

They meet at this community Centre once a week.

:04:34.:04:38.

Their lives have been changed for ever but they

:04:39.:04:41.

resilient, they don't want sympathy, they what change.

:04:42.:04:45.

And despite everything, they won't be beaten.

:04:46.:05:12.

It is just months before Brazil hosts this years Olympics

:05:13.:05:14.

but the country is facing a major political crisis.

:05:15.:05:19.

Pressure is growing on the embattled president after the biggest party

:05:20.:05:22.

in Brazil decided to leave her ruling coalition.

:05:23.:05:24.

As Laura describes, she has described tends

This is the Brazil the country wanted you to see, the first

Instead, this young democracy is in crisis leaves have marched

:05:34.:05:38.

on the street and are calling for the president to be impeached

:05:39.:05:47.

over claims she manipulated the country's

:05:48.:05:49.

The President's biggest ally, the largest party in Brazil,

:05:50.:06:01.

have abandoned her, ending a 13 year alliance.

:06:02.:06:03.

Impeachment without proof of a crime is a coup.

:06:04.:06:10.

But her political future is now in doubt.

:06:11.:06:13.

If you have the impeachment process, you have opportunity to resolve

:06:14.:06:23.

Brazilians are angry at alleged widespread

:06:24.:06:30.

corruption among politicians and businesses.

:06:31.:06:35.

Several companies under scrutiny as part of a money-laundering

:06:36.:06:38.

and bribery scandal are also involved in Olympic

The building of one venue has been halted while investigations

:06:42.:06:48.

Sao Paulo, the Southern hemisphere's biggest city was at the heart

:06:49.:06:55.

of a Brazilian revival and is now in the grip of a deep recession.

:06:56.:07:03.

Unemployment is on the rise and money is simply not getting

:07:04.:07:06.

That includes those fighting the zika epidemic, a virus

:07:07.:07:19.

This lab is at the front line trying to stop it spreading

:07:20.:07:24.

They have been promised millions of dollars of government

:07:25.:07:27.

We want to have this product out in the

:07:28.:07:32.

market in order to save lives and save people from having

:07:33.:07:35.

The more we wait, the more will have problems.

:07:36.:07:38.

Brazil needs a strong hand but with 60% of

:07:39.:07:40.

its elected politicians embroiled in some kind of scandal,

:07:41.:07:43.

whose hands are clean enough to grapple with

:07:44.:07:47.

Now it could be the biggest upset in English Premier League football

:07:48.:08:13.

Leicester City look odds-on favourite to take the league title

:08:14.:08:17.

for the first time in the club history.

:08:18.:08:19.

But it is not just English fans getting excited about it.

:08:20.:08:21.

It has already caused a celebration in Thailand,

:08:22.:08:24.

home of the club's billionaire owners.

:08:25.:08:27.

In a country long dominated by the red power of Manchester

:08:28.:08:30.

United and Liverpool, this is something new and blue.

:08:31.:08:36.

Passion for Leicester, a club that until recently

:08:37.:08:40.

few Thais had heard of and even fewer

:08:41.:08:42.

The improbable success is drawing in new supporters

:08:43.:08:47.

How long did you support Manchester United?

:08:48.:08:50.

And now you have switched to Leicester?

:08:51.:08:53.

Because the owner is from Thailand and also because of my friends.

:08:54.:09:00.

It is because they are owned by Thailand says this former

:09:01.:09:03.

The club's owner has begun laying on free food and beer for the fans

:09:04.:09:18.

while they watch Leicester's seemingly unstoppable rise.

:09:19.:09:21.

Winning again here against Crystal Palace.

:09:22.:09:26.

Last year, they had to shut down this shop and the metro station

:09:27.:09:29.

Can unglamorous Leicester upstage the big names Briton Mark

:09:30.:09:36.

especially the young, whose loyalties aren't fixed yet.

:09:37.:09:39.

We went to a practice match to find out.

:09:40.:09:41.

For this exercise, we try to get hold of

:09:42.:09:44.

a Leicester City shirt but every single one of them in the country

:09:45.:09:47.

So we had to bring up a picture on the laptop and we will show

:09:48.:09:55.

the boys and see what the awareness is of the club that is top

:09:56.:09:59.

Do any of you know whose football team is this?

:10:00.:10:02.

But they weren't quite so sure that they were

:10:03.:10:14.

ready to support the Siamese foxes, as they are known here.

:10:15.:10:18.

Thai football has come a long way in the past ten years.

:10:19.:10:28.

Much depends on what happens in Leicester's

:10:29.:10:30.

But if they do triumph, they can tap into an almost

:10:31.:10:34.

bottomless pool of football passion here in Thailand and plenty

:10:35.:10:36.

That's all for this week. Goodbye for now.
