But Rupert Wingfield Hayes finds out that | :00:39. | :00:39. | |
not everything inside the secretive state is what it seems. | :00:40. | :00:42. | |

Steve Rosenberg meets the Russian politician turned | :01:04. | :01:09. | |

North Korea held the first party congress | :01:23. | :01:24. | |
of its ruling elite for nearly 40 years this week. | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
The once-in-a-generation meeting consolidated the power | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
and authority of Kim Jong-un as supreme leader | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
Now journalists rarely get access to North Korea, | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
but in a sign of the state inching open its door to the outside world, | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
a team of Nobel Laureates, led by a European prince, | :01:45. | :01:46. | |
Rupert Wingfield Hayes joined them and was | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
given a rare view of a different side of life in North Korea. | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
Mayday fun in the workers' paradise. | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
These are not the sort of scenes I expected to find in North Korea. | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
There was nothing like this last time I came here. | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
A lot of these kids can speak English. | :02:12. | :02:22. | |
I have taken this several times but at this time I have... | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
What subject are you studying? I know, it's difficult. | :02:26. | :02:38. | |
Finance? Finance. | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
Pampered and privileged but even they live | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
Do you have an opportunity? Foreigners? | :02:48. | :02:59. | |
Like me. It's my first chance. | :03:00. | :03:00. | |
Your first chance to meet a foreigner? | :03:01. | :03:02. | |
I am from England. Oh! | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
While the elite plays, the masses are preparing for | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
the biggest political show in decade. | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
From atop a high monument, we glimpsed thousands of dancers, | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
rehearsing for the opening of the workers' party congress. | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
Its job, to glorify the rule of Kim Jong-un. | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
There is no escaping the Kim dynasty. | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
Even at Pyonghang Children's Hospital. | :03:29. | :03:30. | |
Our Nobel laureates are regaled with tales of how Marshal Kim | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
But the children we are shown look remarkably well. | :03:34. | :03:40. | |
And there isn't a real doctor in sight. | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
Even our VIP, Prince Alfred of Liechtstein, is starting | :03:45. | :03:52. | |
So this is the challenge of trying to | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
understand anything about this country. | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
We're brought to a place like this, | :03:58. | :03:58. | |
it looks very modern, it is very clean, modern equipment. | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
But we are not allowed to talk to ordinary people. | :04:02. | :04:03. | |
If I turn and try to ask these people anything, they run away. | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
Everything we see looks like a setup. | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
It's easier to understand the national sport, tae kwon do. | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
This is how North Korea sees itself - tough, | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
How do you feel about us, the outside world? | :04:18. | :04:26. | |
Who can blame her for losing her tongue | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
For all its tough behaviour, this is a | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
country terrified of the outside world. | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
Rupert Wingfield Hayes, in Pyongyang. | :04:41. | :05:07. | |
Here's a story which brings a whole new meaning to moving house. | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
A British research station in Antarctica is being relocated in its | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
entirety on skis to save it from floating out to sea. | :05:14. | :05:15. | |
The station sits on an ice shelf that is constantly moving | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
and now, a rapidly expanding crack in the ice could | :05:19. | :05:20. | |
see the base marooned on an iceberg and cast adrift | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
Peter Gibbs has been to Antarctica to see what is being done | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
It's the coldest, windiest, driest, one of the most | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
And it's home to the British Antarctic Survey's | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
Here, cutting-edge science is making vital discoveries about how our | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
lives are vulnerable to the Sun's activities and the threat of | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
But Halley Station is itself is under threat. | :05:42. | :05:56. | |
So our journey to resupply the research station is also part | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
Just three years ago, you could drive straight across | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
Now, there is a massive chasm hundreds of | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
metres across, expanding at 15 centimetres a day and extending 1.5 | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
If and when that joins up with the sea, then this becomes | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
a giant iceberg and Halley Station is just a few kilometres that way. | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
For this glaciologist, it's like watching | :06:17. | :06:17. | |
So it's constantly monitored and there | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
really is only one way to get a closer look. | :06:23. | :06:24. | |
I'm going to resist the temptation to | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
I've been looking at this, these images, for ages and | :06:28. | :06:40. | |
now to be here, physically, it's just great. | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
And look down, Peter, it's a good view! | :06:46. | :06:47. | |
I'm looking down, it's just phenomenal. | :06:48. | :06:56. | |
Ice shelves grow with time as more and more ice is being added | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
through an event which is basically the breaking off of a | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
chunk of ice shelf which floats away as an iceberg. | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
This is a natural process which we always expect. | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
So, if this chasm continues to expand, with Halley | :07:12. | :07:13. | |
Station where it is right now, the research station | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
As hundreds of millions of viewers around the world tune in, | :07:17. | :07:57. | |
in Russia, one politician is planning an alternative | :07:58. | :07:59. | |
to the song contest, and with a very different sound. | :08:00. | :08:01. | |
Our reporter has been to Saint Petersburg to meet him. | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
Hang on, it feels threatened by that? | :08:05. | :08:30. | |
This man is a Russian MP on a crooning crusade to promote music | :08:31. | :08:38. | |
He loves folk and loathes the Europop invading Russia. | :08:39. | :08:46. | |
TRANSLATION: To conquer any country now you don't need weapons. | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
The minds of our young people are coming under the influence | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
of TV, which is trying to impose a fashion, a certain kind of music. | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
Two years ago, when Eurovision was won by the bearded lady, Conchita, | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
this man was so shocked he did this in Parliament. | :09:04. | :09:15. | |
Black Crow, he sings, why are you circling above us? | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
What the MP wants to hear is more music like this... | :09:21. | :09:27. | |
He is planning a rival to Eurovision, called Good Vision where | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
TRANSLATION: It will be folk music with national instruments and | :09:32. | :09:39. | |
But not everyone here is out of tune with the Eurovision Song contest. | :09:40. | :09:54. | |
This year's Russian entrant believes that it can promote international | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
I like the main message that this Eurovision has. | :09:59. | :10:13. | |
Because music does not have any religion, nationalities, | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
But this MP is sticking with what he knows best. | :10:18. | :10:24. | |
With a chorus like this, perhaps he should enter Eurovision. | :10:25. | :10:40. | |
And on that note, we will end Reporters. | :10:41. | :11:12. | |
Another warm day to come tomorrow and | :11:13. | :11:13. |
