From here in the world's newsroom, we send our correspondets | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
to bring you the best stories from across the globe. | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
On the trail of Turkey's most wanted man. | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
Ian Pannell tracks down the leader of the Kurdish militant group, | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
the PKK, who's warned the Turkish president he'll escalate the war | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
TRANSLATION: He wants the Kurds to surrender. | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
So, of course, the PKK will escalate the war. | :00:39. | :00:44. | |
Not only in the Kurdish areas, but across Turkey. | :00:45. | :00:58. | |
Tulip Mazumdar asks whether the pressure for girls to be | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
It's better the Japanese women to be slimmer. | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
He's Turkey's most wanted man, who has made his home in a mountain | :01:07. | :01:25. | |
But in an exclusive interview with the BBC, Jamal Bayek, | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
leader of the Kurdish separatist group PKK, | :01:30. | :01:30. | |
has said he is prepared to escalate the war with Ankara. | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
His group is waging simultaneous conflicts against Turkey | :01:34. | :01:35. | |
and the so-called Islamic State but the Kurdish leader said | :01:36. | :01:37. | |
unless the Turkish government abandons what he calls its genocidal | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
policies and begin ceasefire negotiations, the PKK's long fight | :01:41. | :01:42. | |
Ian Pannell has been to the mountains of | :01:43. | :01:52. | |
We were told to be ready at first light. | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
We should follow him, no questions asked. | :01:57. | :02:05. | |
Driving across northern Iraq, where soldiers and spies | :02:06. | :02:07. | |
In these hills is the man who leads the PKK, the militant | :02:08. | :02:24. | |
It says it fights for Kurdish rights and self-rule but Ankara says it's | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
a terrorist group that slaughters civilians. | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
At this point, we were told to turn the camera off | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
as we met the most wanted man in Turkey. | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
TRANSLATION: Erdo an is escalating this war. | :02:42. | :02:42. | |
If they don't, he will kill all Kurds. | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
So, of course the PKK will escalate the war, not only in the Kurdish | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
If Turkey gives up its genocidal politics and chooses | :02:51. | :02:57. | |
This is the battle raging across the border. | :02:58. | :03:08. | |
A peace process gave way to violence last year. | :03:09. | :03:22. | |
Kurdish towns and cities were pounded, hundreds of thousands | :03:23. | :03:24. | |
The war's moved into Turkey's main cities, where Kurdish suicide | :03:25. | :03:40. | |
bombers have brought terror and death to the nation's capital. | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
More than 1,000 have been killed in | :03:43. | :03:44. | |
Turkey's president has ruled out talks, threatening instead | :03:45. | :04:18. | |
He's taken the war into the mountains of Iraq, | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
But also fighters, training camps, and PKK cemeteries. | :04:24. | :04:36. | |
We were just filming in the PKK cemetery there and we heard | :04:37. | :04:44. | |
the sound of a fighter jet overhead, and the fear is there could be | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
another attack coming, so we've been told we have to leave | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
The PKK have also joined the fight against the Islamic State group. | :04:51. | :05:07. | |
The Kurds have been the most successful force battling Isis. | :05:08. | :05:15. | |
The West works closely with some fighters but it says not | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
with the PKK, not just because it's seen as a terrorist group, | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
But, now, we've been told there is contact | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
TRANSLATION: Rather than indirect, they could be contacted direct. | :05:31. | :05:38. | |
If you're fighting IS, you have to be in touch the PKK. | :05:39. | :05:46. | |
And we're talking about the coalition, we're | :05:47. | :05:48. | |
TRANSLATION: America, England and others. | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
America represents the coalition forces. | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
It's not an issue for us if we talk to Americans or anyone else. | :05:58. | :06:06. | |
How the West works with the Kurds is now a very real, | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
Finding a way through will affect relations with Turkey, | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
and how successful the war against Isis really is. | :06:15. | :07:09. | |
Fortunately, few have known trauma on this scale. | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
Has the pressure on girls to be thin gone too far? | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
Many feel it has in Japan, where hundreds of thousands | :07:17. | :07:18. | |
of people are dealing with eating disorders, and, | :07:19. | :07:20. | |
according to health experts, the country's health | :07:21. | :07:22. | |
As Tulip Mazumdar reports from Tokyo, for many Japanese, | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
This is Harajuku, where the image-conscious flock. | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
Yuka and Akanei are shopping here today. | :07:30. | :07:31. | |
We need to lose weight, they tell me. | :07:32. | :07:33. | |
It's better for Japanese women to be slimmer. | :07:34. | :07:34. | |
The pressure on women and girls in particular to be | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
Eating disorders are complex but there are concerns that that | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
People rarely speak out about the problem but this | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
young woman agreed to, if we hid her identity. | :07:46. | :07:47. | |
TRANSLATION: I was a chubby child and the other kids bullied me. | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
When I started losing weight at 16, everyone told me how great I looked, | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
Matoko tells me her parents were too ashamed to take her to a doctor | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
so she, like many thousands of others, suffered in silence. | :08:00. | :08:01. | |
After more than ten years, Matoko is finally getting | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
Today, she's come to one of the few government funded eating disorder | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
These women are considered the lucky ones. | :08:09. | :08:10. | |
There's no family doctor referral system here so it's largely | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
up to patients to seek the help themselves. | :08:14. | :08:20. | |
TRANSLATION: It's often too late by the time the patient | :08:21. | :08:22. | |
Sometimes, they are even close to death. | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
Although the causes of eating disorders are known, | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
there is the predominant cultural ideal that skinny is beautiful. | :08:33. | :08:34. | |
That has gone too far, and we need to address it. | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
The government says it's trying to raise more awareness | :08:41. | :08:42. | |
of the problem and make it easier for people to come forward | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
This is what teenagers are up against. | :08:46. | :08:53. | |
We bought this magazine and in it we found this 15-year-old girl. | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
It's got all of her measurements here, her height, her weight, | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
By international standards, she is severely underweight. | :09:01. | :09:07. | |
But if you read this here, it says, we want to be slimmer and prettier, | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
so let's take action now and measure ourselves every day. | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
Usually, we don't see these curves, we don't see it at all. | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
But counter voices and images are emerging. | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
Nao and Aisha are models Japan's only magazine at plus sized girls. | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
They want to champion people of all shapes and sizes. | :09:29. | :09:35. | |
They may still be a minority in the mass media but these women | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
But, today, she's living her dream as a model. | :09:39. | :09:49. | |
TRANSLATION: When I had an eating disorder, I thought if I didn't eat | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
But now I am able to enjoy eating with friends. | :09:53. | :09:59. | |
I realise that happiness comes from accepting your body. | :10:00. | :10:08. | |
And that's all from Reporters for this week. | :10:09. | :10:10. | |
From me, Philippa Thomas, goodbye for now. | :10:11. | :10:34. | |
Hello, our final day of April resorted to type - sunny spells and | :10:35. | :10:40. | |
showers after a bright sunny | :10:41. | :10:42. |
