To bring you the best stories from across the globe. | :00:30. | :00:37. | |
In this week's programme, Mayday fun at the fair in | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
And a visit to a state-of-the-art hospital. | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
But Rupert Wingfield Hayes finds out that | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
not everything inside the secretive state is what it seems. | :00:46. | :00:47. | |
Jonathan Beale meet the pilots on the US | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
aircraft carrier in the Gulf waging a high-tech war against the | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
so-called Islamic State in a cancer area. | :00:56. | :01:02. | |
The fighters drop bombs, they make the explosions. | :01:03. | :01:11. | |
We do the stuff in the background that most | :01:12. | :01:13. | |
Can a different approach help to save the elephants? | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
Alastair Leithead reports from the media | :01:20. | :01:26. | |
where hunters may hold the key to halting their extension. | :01:27. | :01:37. | |
The fact is, the tourism in this area does | :01:38. | :01:39. | |
The ice chasm cutting and Antarctic base adrift. | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
Peter Gibbs visit the research station | :01:45. | :01:46. | |
If and when that joined up with the sea, then this becomes | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
a giant iceberg and Halley Station is just a | :01:52. | :01:53. | |
Steve Rosenberg meets the Russian politician turned | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
crooning crusader who dreams of revolutionising Eurovision. | :01:59. | :02:00. | |
North Korea held the first party congress | :02:01. | :02:01. | |
of its ruling elite for nearly 40 years this week. | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
The once in a generation meeting consolidated the | :02:05. | :02:06. | |
power and authority of Kim Jong-un as supreme | :02:07. | :02:13. | |
Now journalists rarely get access to North Korea, | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
but in the site -- in a sign of the state | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
inching open its door to the | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
outside world, a team of Nobel Laureates, | :02:28. | :02:29. | |
led by a European prince, were allowed to visit. | :02:30. | :02:31. | |
Rupert Wingfield Hayes joined them and was | :02:32. | :02:33. | |
given a rare view of a different side of life in North Korea. | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
Mayday fun in the workers' paradise. | :02:37. | :02:38. | |
These are not the sort of scenes I expected to find in North Korea. | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
There was nothing like this last time I came here. | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
A lot of these kids can speak English. | :02:47. | :02:58. | |
I have taken this several times but at this time I have... | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
Pampered and privileged but even they live an | :03:03. | :03:24. | |
Do you have an opportunity? Foreigners? | :03:25. | :03:31. | |
Your first chance to meet a foreigner? | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
While the elite plays, the masses are preparing for | :03:37. | :03:46. | |
the biggest political show in decade. | :03:47. | :03:48. | |
From atop a high monument, we glimpsed thousands of dancers, | :03:49. | :03:50. | |
rehearsing for the opening of the workers' party conference. | :03:51. | :03:57. | |
Its job, to glorify the rule of Kim Jong-un. | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
There is no escaping the Kim dynasty. | :04:02. | :04:03. | |
Even at Pyonghang Children's Hospital. | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
Our Nobel laureates are regaled with tales of how Marshal | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
Kim personally ordered the CT scanner. | :04:11. | :04:11. | |
But the children we are shown look remarkably well. | :04:12. | :04:19. | |
And there isn't a real doctor in sight. | :04:20. | :04:20. | |
Even our VIP, Prince Alfred of Liechtstein is starting | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
So this is the challenge of trying to | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
understand anything about this country. | :04:29. | :04:35. | |
We're brought to a place like | :04:36. | :04:36. | |
this, it looks for a modern, it is very clean, modern equipment. | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
But we are not allowed to talk to ordinary people. | :04:43. | :04:44. | |
If I turn and to ask these people anything, they run away. | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
Everything we see looks like a setup. | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
It's easier to understand the national sport, tae kwon do. | :04:51. | :04:52. | |
This is how North Korea sees itself, tough, | :04:53. | :04:54. | |
How do you feel about us, the outside world? | :04:55. | :05:05. | |
Who can blame her for losing her tongue | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
For all its tough behaviour, this is a | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
country terrified of the outside world. | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
Rupert Wingfield Hayes, in Pyongyang. | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
Over the past four months, the aircraft carrier USS | :05:20. | :05:21. | |
Harry S Truman, has been sailing somewhere in the North Arabian Gulf, | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
launching wave after wave of attacks on so-called Islamic State. | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
Dozens of jets have been bombing targets in | :05:31. | :05:32. | |
But bombs are not the only weapon they are dropping. | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
Some planes have also been using new forms of electronic | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
and cyber warfare to attack the group and | :05:41. | :05:47. | |
Jonathan Beale has been given access to the | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
USS Harry S Truman and to America's hi-tech war against IS. | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
Fighting an unconventional war, using unconventional means. | :05:57. | :06:09. | |
The fighters drop the bombs, they make the | :06:10. | :06:11. | |
We do the stuff in the background that most people don't | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
And this is what is happening round the clock. | :06:16. | :06:27. | |
A constant stream of jets taking off looking for targets over | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
In less than five months, the jets on this carrier | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
have already said it record, dropping more than 1200 bombs on | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
But these bombs are not the only weapon they | :06:41. | :06:51. | |
Drew, the pilot, and Chris, an electronic warfare | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
officer, fly a jet, but it is loaded with jammers that can block anything | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
Our cameras followed them at the start of emission. | :07:00. | :07:10. | |
Much of what they do is still classified | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
Before and after an attack like this, and what | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
they say was an IS headquarters in Mosul, they are able to jam all | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
You are sitting in your house and all of a sudden, bombs | :07:21. | :07:30. | |
You're scared, your frantic, it's chaotic and now all of a sudden, | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
and things start happening in the electronic spectrum | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
that you don't fully understand. | :07:39. | :07:39. | |
That adds a whole none aspect of fear. | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
It degrades their ability to talk about what is going | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
on and to coordinate any counterattacks. | :07:50. | :07:50. | |
And hopefully, by infusing that fear and confusion, | :07:51. | :07:52. | |
It's all part of a new emphasis on electronic warfare. | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
As well as from the air, US cyber teams on the | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
ground are also disrupting IS's ability to communicate. | :08:00. | :08:01. | |
By computer, phone, or on their radios. | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
We do get the feedback from folks that we are | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
supporting and they say, we knew you were there | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
because either we stopped getting shot at or we weren't | :08:14. | :08:15. | |
So it is tough to measure, but it's absolutely essential. | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
All signs are pointing to it making a huge difference. | :08:22. | :08:23. | |
There is still a tonne of work left to do, everybody can | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
And the proof that this fight is far from over is the | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
Even with all this technology, and military might, two years on, | :08:32. | :08:39. | |
Jonathan Beale, BBC News, on board the USS | :08:40. | :08:48. | |
Africa's elephants are being killed at an | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
30,000 to 40,000 slaughtered for their ivory each year. | :08:53. | :08:59. | |
And it is thought there are now less than half a million left. | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
Saving the elephants has focused on targeting poaching and Asia's | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
But some nations have come up with different approaches. | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
Last week, Kenya publicly burned more than 100 | :09:10. | :09:11. | |
tonnes of ivory to help tackle the illegal trade. | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
And Namibia has allowed controlled hunting of | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
elephants which has actually led to an increase in their numbers. | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
Alastair Leithead has travelled to north-east in the media to | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
Tourist travel the world to see them. | :09:28. | :09:46. | |
But at the rate they are currently being killed, | :09:47. | :09:48. | |
this kind of spectacle could be gone in our lifetimes. | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
And here in the, there is a different approach to | :09:52. | :09:53. | |
Few tourists come to this part of the country so trophy | :09:54. | :10:00. | |
hunting is the main source of income. | :10:01. | :10:02. | |
And poachers have actually turned gamekeepers. | :10:03. | :10:03. | |
This group has a licence to kill a buffalo in this | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
A parcel of land managed by the community where | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
animals can roam in and out of the uncensored | :10:10. | :10:11. | |
Only a certain number of each animal can be | :10:12. | :10:26. | |
shot a year with the meat going to the community. | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
And hunters often pay tens of thousands of pounds. | :10:30. | :10:31. | |
Trophy hunting is supposedly to take out | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
It is going to die in two or three years anyway, | :10:36. | :10:43. | |
why let it die of old age when it can raise money | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
Wild animals, buffalo, elephant, anything. | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
You can't run a farm and keep on breeding cattle. | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
Because you're going to have to much and nothing will survive because | :10:58. | :11:00. | |
People can get very emotional about hunting, | :11:01. | :11:08. | |
whether it be for buffalo or for elephants or lions. | :11:09. | :11:10. | |
The fact is, the tourism in this area doesn't bring in enough money. | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
The hunters have to pay, whether they find a buffalo to kill or not. | :11:14. | :11:20. | |
And these are inside the park. They can look, but they can't shoot. | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
So when we come here, when we saw it, we have | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
The local community manages their conservancy, | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
recording which animals passed through to help work out | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
The money paid to the rangers, all to bring electricity to | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
If hunting is not allowed, or stopped, then all the | :11:40. | :11:52. | |
money we are getting from hunting will stop also. | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
So people will be suffering, they'll not be able to take their | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
The rangers, they are employed also, some of the May | :11:59. | :12:06. | |
It's about giving these animals a real | :12:07. | :12:15. | |
value to the people whose crops they destroy, whose children they | :12:16. | :12:17. | |
And not just for Westerners to come and look at. | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
In some places, tourism might be enough | :12:22. | :12:23. | |
And there are less than half a million left in the whole of | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
Alastair Leithead, BBC News, Namibia. | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
Here's a story which brings a whole new meaning to moving house. | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
A British research station in Antarctica is being relocated in its | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
entirety on skis to save it from floating out to sea. | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
The station sits on an ice shelf that is constantly moving | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
and now, a rapidly expanding crack in the ice could | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
see the base marooned on an iceberg and cast | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
Peter Gibbs has been to Antarctica to see what is being done | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
Is the coldest, windiest, driest, one of the most | :13:00. | :13:05. | |
And it's home to the British Antarctic Survey's | :13:06. | :13:12. | |
Here, cutting-edge science is making vital discoveries about how our | :13:13. | :13:20. | |
lives are vulnerable to the sun's activities and the threat of | :13:21. | :13:22. | |
But Halley Station is itself is under threat. | :13:23. | :13:29. | |
So our journey to resupply the research station is also part | :13:30. | :13:31. | |
Just three years ago, you could drive straight across | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
Now, there is a massive chasm hundreds of | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
metres across, expanding at 15 centimetres a day and extending 1.5 | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
If and when that joins up with the sea, then this becomes | :13:46. | :13:55. | |
a giant iceberg and Halley Station is just a | :13:56. | :13:57. | |
For this glaciologist, it's like watching | :13:58. | :14:05. | |
So it's constantly monitored and there | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
really is only one way to get a closer look. | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
I'm going to resist the temptation to | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
I've been looking at this, these images, for ages and | :14:21. | :14:29. | |
now to be here, physically, it's just great. | :14:30. | :14:32. | |
And look down, Peter, it's a good view! | :14:33. | :14:34. | |
I'm looking down, it's just phenomenal. | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
Ice shelves grow with time as more and more ice | :14:39. | :14:41. | |
is being added and typically, they then lose mass | :14:42. | :14:47. | |
through an event which is basically the breaking off of a | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
chunk of ice shelf which floats away as an iceberg. | :14:52. | :14:54. | |
This is a natural process which we always expect. | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
So, if this chasm continues to expand, with Halley | :14:59. | :15:01. | |
Station where it is right now, the research station | :15:02. | :15:04. | |
Work has now started to save the base. | :15:05. | :15:11. | |
Temporary accommodation is part of the resupply mission | :15:12. | :15:13. | |
These will act as home for the station staff as Halley's | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
unique design is put into use to ensure that it survives. | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
Sitting on a massive hydraulic jacks means Halley Station | :15:23. | :15:28. | |
keeps itself happily above the snow's surface. | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
But there is another unusual feature in Halley's design. | :15:33. | :15:35. | |
At the bottom of its hydraulic legs are huge skis. | :15:36. | :15:46. | |
Each module will be detached from its neighbour | :15:47. | :15:48. | |
In the same way it was brought here four | :15:49. | :15:51. | |
After extensive surveys, a new location has been found and 20 | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
kilometres away, safely on the right side of the chasm. | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
And there, Halley Station can continue its work. | :16:02. | :16:04. | |
Its manifesto says Islam is not part of | :16:05. | :16:12. | |
And it includes a ban on the call to prayer and the wearing | :16:13. | :16:18. | |
But Germany's right-wing Alternative For Germany is gaining support. They | :16:19. | :16:34. | |
made gains in a recent election as a result of the migrant crisis and it | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
has now openly rebranded itself as anti-Muslim. | :16:40. | :16:49. | |
This isn't the Germany AFD wants. Four resilient Muslims live in the | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
country and there religion, tarmac to say is, simply -- 4 million | :16:54. | :17:02. | |
Muslims live in the country and AFD says it does not want its religion. | :17:03. | :17:12. | |
TRANSLATION: For decades we have had to deal with right wingers but they | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
came from fringe parties. The AFD has taken right-wing popular risen | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
to the centre of society. That should be cause concern for | :17:22. | :17:30. | |
everyone. Europe's Populist parties are gaining ground. It is just a few | :17:31. | :17:37. | |
weeks since AFD made significant gains in regional elections. The | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
party is anti-euro, champions the traditional nuclear family, does not | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
believe in climate change and does not like immigrants. In fact, its | :17:46. | :17:51. | |
leader recently suggested German border guards shoot refugees. Our | :17:52. | :18:04. | |
beliefs are within European values. We need to talk about all these | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
problems being connected with this understanding of religion. This is | :18:08. | :18:13. | |
what has been missing in Germany, in European politics, for a long time. | :18:14. | :18:19. | |
AFD is still dismissed by many as a protest party but it has filled a | :18:20. | :18:23. | |
vacuum to the political right. Germany is a pretty stable place, | :18:24. | :18:32. | |
socioeconomically we are OK. We haven't had a terrorist activity on | :18:33. | :18:43. | |
German territory. AFD would be in a position to really build on the fear | :18:44. | :18:52. | |
that German society may experience. There is no doubt that AFD has | :18:53. | :18:58. | |
shaken up Germany's political landscape, not least because it has | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
intensified the pressure on the establishment here to tackle | :19:02. | :19:10. | |
difficult questions and talk about how to integrate the hundreds of | :19:11. | :19:13. | |
thousands of migrants now living in this country. New directions. For | :19:14. | :19:26. | |
AFD, perhaps even for Germany. It is your revision time again. As | :19:27. | :19:29. | |
hundreds of millions of viewers around the world tune in. -- it is | :19:30. | :19:42. | |
Eurovision. In pressure one politician is planning an | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
alternative to the song contest, and with a very different sound. Our | :19:48. | :19:50. | |
reporter has been to Saint Petersburg to meet him. | :19:51. | :19:56. | |
Russia feels threatened by the west, by Nato troops in the Baltic. By | :19:57. | :20:07. | |
Western spies in Moscow. By resolutions on Russia's doorstep. | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
And by the Eurovision Song contest? Hang | :20:13. | :20:18. | |
on, it feels threatened by that? He does. This man is a Russian MP on a | :20:19. | :20:28. | |
crooning crusade to promote music with a Russian soul. He loves folk | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
and loathes the Euro pop invading Russia. TRANSLATION: To conquer any | :20:33. | :20:39. | |
country now you don't need weapons. Culture is the key. The minds of our | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
young people are coming under the influence of TV, which is trying to | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
impose a fashion, a certain kind of music. Two years ago, when | :20:48. | :20:58. | |
Eurovision was won by the bearded lady, this man was so shocked he did | :20:59. | :21:08. | |
this in Parliament. Black Crow, he sings, why are you circling above | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
us? What the MP wants to hear is more music like this... And this... | :21:14. | :21:19. | |
He is planning a rival to Eurovision, called Good Vision where | :21:20. | :21:31. | |
all the songs will be... Well, good. TRANSLATION: It will be focal music | :21:32. | :21:33. | |
with National instruments and costumes. -- it will be folk music. | :21:34. | :21:43. | |
But not everyone here is out of tune with the Eurovision Song contest. | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
This year's Russian entrant believes that it can promote international | :21:49. | :21:55. | |
harmony. I like the main message that this Eurovision has. Come | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
together. Because music does not have any religion, nationalities, | :22:01. | :22:07. | |
sexual orientation... Soap music is for everyone. But this MP is | :22:08. | :22:14. | |
sticking with what he knows best. This song is about a cuckoo. | :22:15. | :22:27. | |
