:02:34. > :02:38.Human rights groups say as many as 20,000 women were raped,

:02:41. > :02:44.Fergal Keane reports from the Bosnian town of Visegrad,

:02:52. > :02:56.The Muslims of Visegrad were trapped, lulled

:03:20. > :03:21.On its famous bridge, the Serbs executed men,

:03:22. > :03:36.24 years on, the memory of horror is being deliberately erased.

:03:37. > :03:58.And nowhere is it more obvious than here.

:03:59. > :04:00.Ramza Muhic was raped here at the Vilina Vlas hotel.

:04:01. > :04:10.Other survivors say it was used as a rape camp.

:04:14. > :04:16.Ramza says she was attacked by Milan Lukic, a commander

:05:02. > :05:09.Tourists from across the region enjoy themselves here.

:05:10. > :05:12.If you arrived here as a guest, you would never know that these

:05:13. > :05:13.rooms had been used as torture chambers.

:05:14. > :05:17.Young girls, women, were raped here, murdered.

:05:18. > :05:19.Some were so desperate to escape their tormentors

:05:20. > :05:28.that they ran, they jumped over the balcony to commit suicide.

:05:29. > :05:33.The White Eagles even allowed a photographer

:05:34. > :05:41.This man was 21 years old when he was taken to Vilina Vlas.

:05:42. > :05:43.He is the figure in the black jacket and white jeans.

:05:44. > :05:47.After this beating, he and the other men were taken away and shot.

:05:48. > :06:11.Did you recognise your brother in the photo?

:06:12. > :06:16.The Serbs remember their deadhere above Visegrad.

:06:17. > :06:20.The town is controlled by the hardline nationalist party

:06:21. > :06:24.of Radovan Karadzic, which fuelled the descent into genocide.

:06:25. > :06:29.But in Visegrad today, you dare not use that word.

:06:30. > :06:33.The council removed the word from the memorial to the victims

:06:34. > :06:39.And the Vilina Vlas hotel where women were raped and men

:06:40. > :06:42.tortured by Serb extremists, that too is now run by the party

:06:43. > :06:49.of Karadzic, which denies it was a place of mass atrocity.

:06:50. > :06:54.Do you believe it is morally appropriate for your party,

:06:55. > :06:57.which governs in that area, to run a hotel where such horrific

:06:58. > :07:27.Most of the killers and rapists of Visegrad have

:07:28. > :07:33.Only one paramilitary has been convicted of rape at Vilina Vlas.

:07:34. > :07:36.Across Bosnia, there are many thousands of rapes that

:07:37. > :07:41.As Bosnia still struggles to rebuild after a war, the chances of justice

:07:42. > :07:50.In most wars, sexual crimes have gone unpunished.

:07:51. > :07:54.Now there is an international campaign to change this.

:07:55. > :07:57.In every country it is very difficult to come to terms

:07:58. > :07:59.with all the crimes that were committed, but at some stage,

:08:00. > :08:02.it has to be dealt with, and it has to be dealt

:08:03. > :08:07.There can be no different standards of justice.

:08:08. > :08:21.At Vilina Vlas, the memory of atrocity is being erased.

:08:22. > :08:24.It stands as a symbol of humanity betrayed.

:08:25. > :08:49.China may be the world's second-biggest economy,

:08:50. > :08:53.The country's citizens are getting nervous and are sending their money

:08:54. > :09:02.Analysis of the Panama papers, the leaked document showing how

:09:03. > :09:05.the world's elite have tried to hide their money,

:09:06. > :09:09.revealed some of the biggest culprits are in China.

:09:10. > :09:13.The Chinese authorities limit the amount of money

:09:14. > :09:15.people can take abroad, but as Celia Hatton has been finding

:09:16. > :09:18.out, some go to extreme measures to get their millions out

:09:19. > :09:23.They are desperate to keep their money safe.

:09:24. > :09:26.Many are anxious to smuggle their wealth out of China, away

:09:27. > :09:40.I met the man who works as a money mule, carrying cash over the border

:09:41. > :09:50.TRANSLATION: I strap the money to my body or I carry a small bag.

:09:51. > :09:52.Customs officers always target people with lots of luggage,

:09:53. > :09:59.or those who look nervous, so I just try to act normal.

:10:00. > :10:04.Even China's Communist elite are keeping their money offshore.

:10:05. > :10:07.We showed you leaked files from Mossack Fonseca that revealed,

:10:08. > :10:10.right at the top, how the relatives of China's leaders

:10:11. > :10:15.Now we have learned that China is the firm's biggest market.

:10:16. > :10:17.Mossack Fonseca manages more than 16,000 offshore companies,

:10:18. > :10:25.It is not just people with ties to the leadership who are stashing

:10:26. > :10:29.Growing numbers of people are moving their money out of China

:10:30. > :10:31.on a scale never seen before, and much of that money passes

:10:32. > :10:43.And then the money has to go somewhere.

:10:44. > :10:49.Last year, Chinese buyers snapped up more than ?35 billion in overseas

:10:50. > :10:53.Sue Jong works for a company that lists properties abroad that may be

:10:54. > :11:02.For instance, in the UK alone, typically London is very popular,

:11:03. > :11:05.but just in this past quarter, we have seen that Brighton has seen

:11:06. > :11:10.a 700% increase in popularity in just the past year.

:11:11. > :11:13.Every Chinese citizen can transfer ?35,000 a year outside the country.

:11:14. > :11:15.Anything more than that often has to be moved illegally,

:11:16. > :11:19.but for those who fear their nest eggs will be wiped out by China's

:11:20. > :11:21.slowing economy, and for those who want to hide their wealth

:11:22. > :11:23.from the authorities, money smuggling is a necessary risk.

:11:24. > :11:33.The outflow of capital is something that the Chinese government

:11:34. > :11:45.They are aware of the scale of it, but the fact that they are giving it

:11:46. > :11:48.a fair bit of priority and yet the scale of the problem remains

:11:49. > :11:53.so large means that they are not entirely on top of it.

:11:54. > :11:56.Across Hong Kong, it is common to see visitors from mainland China

:11:57. > :12:02.Think of it as a symbol for what is happening around the globe.

:12:03. > :12:04.China's richest people, including the country's top leaders,

:12:05. > :12:08.are choosing to take their money out of the country to spend elsewhere.

:12:09. > :12:13.They are protecting themselves, but making China more vulnerable.

:12:14. > :12:17.Celia Hatton, BBC News, Hong Kong.

:12:18. > :12:20.As Europe hardens its stance against the thousands of refugees

:12:21. > :12:23.reaching its borders, Greece began returning migrants

:12:24. > :12:37.The first boats carrying a few hundred migrants deported from

:12:38. > :12:39.Greece under a new controversial EU deal arrived in western Turkey,

:12:40. > :12:40.and Mark Lowen was there to see them arrive.

:12:41. > :12:45.They began a journey they never thought they would make,

:12:46. > :12:50.the first group of migrants sent back from Greece to Turkey.

:12:51. > :12:56.The guinea pigs of an EU deal that nobody is sure will actually work.

:12:57. > :13:03.Around 200 arrived back, mainly Pakistanis, a tiny fraction

:13:04. > :13:07.of the more than one million people who went the other way

:13:08. > :13:09.in the past year, crossing these waters to Europe.

:13:10. > :13:13.This just a symbolic start as the EU closes its doors.

:13:14. > :13:16.Here they come, the EU's test case, the first migrants to arrive

:13:17. > :13:22.As far as they are concerned, they have failed.

:13:23. > :13:26.Their hopes of a new life in Europe have come to an end.

:13:27. > :13:29.The big question is whether they will try once again at some point,

:13:30. > :13:34.As the migrants were taken off to be processed,

:13:35. > :13:43.Some struggled, a reminder of the challenges they overcame

:13:44. > :13:46.to make it to Europe in the first place.

:13:47. > :13:48.The local governor said that fingerprints would be taken,

:13:49. > :13:49.medical checks made, and Syrians would be

:13:50. > :13:56.They will take the place of other Syrians directly resettled

:13:57. > :14:01.in the EU, the first ones arriving in Germany later today.

:14:02. > :14:03.The Pakistanis and others were driven to deportation centres.

:14:04. > :14:10.Turkey will aim to send them back to their countries of origin,

:14:11. > :14:12.but worries persist about whether this deal is fair,

:14:13. > :14:17.and how the migrants will be treated here.

:14:18. > :14:21.Some locals are voicing their opposition.

:14:22. > :14:30.I lose all my hopes about human rights in European countries.

:14:31. > :14:34.I cannot believe it is a democratic system.

:14:35. > :14:37.Among others, there was anger at the idea of bringing more

:14:38. > :14:43.migrants here, locals signing petitions against the camp.

:14:44. > :14:45.We cannot accept them here even though we pity them.

:14:46. > :14:50.I want them somewhere far from view, where they can be comfortable.

:14:51. > :14:54.It would be better if they lived in a different place.

:14:55. > :14:56.Across the port, 55 other Pakistanis were held,

:14:57. > :15:00.caught by the coastguard trying to get to Greece.

:15:01. > :15:04.It was an illustration of why this deal may simply not work.

:15:05. > :15:06.Because fleeing war and poverty, the desperate are still ready

:15:07. > :15:19.He was one of the most notorious British spies of the Cold War era.

:15:20. > :15:22.Kim Philby rose up the ranks of the intelligence service MI6

:15:23. > :15:27.while all the while passing secrets to the Soviet Union and the KGB.

:15:28. > :15:30.But he has never been seen talking about his 30 years

:15:31. > :15:38.The BBC has unearthed fascinating video of Philby addressing officers

:15:39. > :15:42.of the East German intelligence service, the Stasi, back in 1981.

:15:43. > :15:44.Gordon Corera has been examining this never-

:15:45. > :15:58.Britain's most famous spy, its greatest traitor.

:15:59. > :16:05.I must also warn you that I am no public speaker.

:16:06. > :16:10.Almost all my life I've spent trying to avoid publicity of any kind.

:16:11. > :16:12.The BBC unearthed this hour-long video, the images

:16:13. > :16:17.It is 1981 and Philby is addressing the Stasi, East

:16:18. > :16:23.Never intended for the public, this recording has lain hidden

:16:24. > :16:30.Looking back on my career in the enemy camp,

:16:31. > :16:35.Philby offers a masterclass in betrayal, from his recruitment

:16:36. > :16:37.by Soviet spies after Cambridge, to his joining Britain's

:16:38. > :16:42.secret service, MI6, whose secrets he stole.

:16:43. > :16:47.Every evening I left the office with a big briefcase full of reports

:16:48. > :16:50.which I had written myself, full of files taken out

:16:51. > :16:54.of the actual documents, the actual archives.

:16:55. > :16:57.I used to hand them to my Soviet contact in the evening,

:16:58. > :17:00.the next morning I would get the file back, the contents

:17:01. > :17:01.having been photographed, and take them back early

:17:02. > :17:04.in the morning and put the files back in their place.

:17:05. > :17:09.That I did regularly, year in, year out.

:17:10. > :17:12.Mr Harold Philby, on the right, holds a press conference to deny

:17:13. > :17:14.charges that he was involved in the disappearance

:17:15. > :17:23.Until now, this was the only known video of Philby speaking.

:17:24. > :17:26.It is 1955, and he was denying reports he was a Communist.

:17:27. > :17:29.The last time I spoke to a Communist, knowing him to be

:17:30. > :17:38.Eight years later, he fled to Moscow.

:17:39. > :17:40.Philby is buried in a cemetery on the outskirts of the Russian

:17:41. > :17:46.capital, along with other heroes of his adopted homeland.

:17:47. > :17:49.Philby died in 1988, 25 years after he came to the Soviet

:17:50. > :17:53.It was a country he regarded as home.

:17:54. > :17:59.He was the spy who came into the cold.

:18:00. > :18:03.He may have been regarded as a hero in the Communsit world,

:18:04. > :18:07.but Philby admits in his Stasi speech that he betrayed a joint

:18:08. > :18:09.CIA-MI6 operation in Albania, which led to hundreds

:18:10. > :18:21.He also talks about the other Cambridge spies he recruited,

:18:22. > :18:24.and how he outwitted MI6 when he escaped, and he finishes

:18:25. > :18:38.with one piece of advice to the East German spies.

:18:39. > :18:42.That advice served Philby well during his career.

:18:43. > :18:44.This secret account of his betrayal emerging only decades

:18:45. > :18:52.Gordon Corera, BBC News, Moscow.

:18:53. > :18:55.Now, can singing improve your health?

:18:56. > :18:58.New research suggests that just one hour of choral singing can

:18:59. > :19:01.boost your immunity, and even help cancer sufferers.

:19:02. > :19:04.It has led a group of cancer patients in the Welsh town

:19:05. > :19:16.As Marc Ashdown reports, it may be just what the doctor ordered.

:19:17. > :19:20.The musical stars of the Bridgend Sing With Us choir.

:19:21. > :19:27.Everyone here has had cancer or cared for someone with cancer.

:19:28. > :19:32.They say there is no doubting the positive benefit of belting

:19:33. > :19:40.It gives you a really good feel-good factor.

:19:41. > :19:47.You come in full of aches and pains and you can skip out with a big

:19:48. > :19:53.Just the kind of vibes you could bottle up as medicine.

:19:54. > :19:55.New groundbreaking research suggests that might not be

:19:56. > :20:01.This study tested 193 members of five choirs, including this one,

:20:02. > :20:04.and found that singing in a choir for just an hour can reduce

:20:05. > :20:12.stress levels and boost the body's immune system.

:20:13. > :20:14.Giving Pauline, for example, the very best chance

:20:15. > :20:18.of being receptive to drugs to fight serious illness.

:20:19. > :20:20.The choir plays a major part in that.

:20:21. > :20:23.She was diagnosed with cancer in 2011.

:20:24. > :20:27.She has had chemotherapy, radiotherapy and a mastectomy.

:20:28. > :20:29.It has been a long road with some dark days.

:20:30. > :20:36.If I am being honest, I was very angry about having got cancer.

:20:37. > :20:38.When you're in treatment, you have to concentrate

:20:39. > :20:45.Thinking, right, I will get through this one

:20:46. > :20:52.It really does just narrow down to getting through each day.

:20:53. > :20:57.It just means an awful lot to be around people.

:20:58. > :21:03.We do not go there to talk about that.

:21:04. > :21:05.We go there to be together, knowing that it matters

:21:06. > :21:07.to share with other people, and also to experience

:21:08. > :21:18.the joy that singing can bring to your life.

:21:19. > :21:20.Of course, it is no substitute for traditional drug treatments,

:21:21. > :21:24.but scientists are optimistic that singing and other group feel-good

:21:25. > :21:27.activities could be used to help fight all kinds of illness.

:21:28. > :21:29.This ranges from attending a concert, to learning

:21:30. > :21:31.an instrument, to singing in a choir.

:21:32. > :21:33.We have worked with people with mental health conditions

:21:34. > :21:37.and a range of physical conditions as well.

:21:38. > :21:38.We have found changes in different components

:21:39. > :21:41.of the immune system, stress hormones, both in long-term

:21:42. > :21:47.A more in-depth two-year project is now under way to further

:21:48. > :21:50.explore just how far you could sing your way

:21:51. > :22:01.Finally, more than half a century of music and revelry

:22:02. > :22:03.by the Rolling Stones is being celebrated

:22:04. > :22:06.at a new exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery in London.

:22:07. > :22:08.There are instruments, costumes, artwork and many other items

:22:09. > :22:17.Beginning as a blues band in the early 1960s,

:22:18. > :22:19.charting the rise to the rock giants they are today.

:22:20. > :22:22.Will Gompertz has been chatting to them all about the secret

:22:23. > :22:32."First, you shock them," Mick Jagger once said,

:22:33. > :22:34."and then they stick you in a museum," or

:22:35. > :22:43.All 54 years of the Stones' rock and roll history is laid out in this

:22:44. > :22:45.sprawling retrospective, the costumes they wore,

:22:46. > :22:50.the guitars they played, and the global brand they created.

:22:51. > :22:53.You must feel this sort of welling up of nostalgia.

:22:54. > :23:02.What do you think the legacy of the Stones is?

:23:03. > :23:04.It is one of the most important rock bands,

:23:05. > :23:19.Because of its longevity, the rock band has a cultural history place,

:23:20. > :23:22.because as you walk through this exhibition, you can see it goes

:23:23. > :23:25.through all these different eras, all these different things have

:23:26. > :23:34.It becomes more than just a rock band.

:23:35. > :23:39.There is a mock-up of life backstage at a Stones gig,

:23:40. > :23:42.and a re-creation of the fetid flat they shared as teenagers

:23:43. > :23:45.Keith, what do you think of the show?

:23:46. > :24:04.I went past the Edith Grove flat and I wanted to crash out.

:24:05. > :24:07.What would happen if it was today and you were in Edith Grove today,

:24:08. > :24:09.and you were a bunch of 19- year-old lads?

:24:10. > :24:17.Today there is so much variety that I do not think the band could happen

:24:18. > :24:23.The career-spanning exhibition presents a really vivid reminder

:24:24. > :24:25.of just how long the Stones have been going.

:24:26. > :24:28.Have you ever tired of it, have you ever thought...?

:24:29. > :24:39.Used to quit at the end of every tour, it would drive you up

:24:40. > :24:43.Playing Brown Sugar for the 50th time?

:24:44. > :24:46.Most people of your age would have retired by now, Charlie.

:24:47. > :24:48.That is what you think when you're packing the suitcase

:24:49. > :24:50.up for the 40th bloody time that week.
