:00:36. > :00:39.We track down the graves of some of the hundreds of men women and

:00:44. > :00:48.relatives they have left behind. TRANSLATION: The hardest moment of
:00:49. > :00:52.my life was when I received a phone call and was told that this tragedy
:00:53. > :00:56.had happened. For those who do make it to Europe we will find out how a
:00:57. > :01:00.small town in eastern Germany has been coping with an influx of
:01:01. > :01:05.children, many travelling on their own. Nobody knows how many there are
:01:06. > :01:10.but it is at least 20 or 30000 and in the first two months of this year
:01:11. > :01:14.alone 30% of all asylum applications here in Germany where from children.
:01:15. > :01:19.Entire neighbourhoods in ruins after this any density is engulfed by
:01:20. > :01:28.wildfire. We will find out what is left standing after the police in
:01:29. > :01:32.Ford money. -- Fort McMurray. There is garden furniture, pieces of life
:01:33. > :01:39.which are now blackened and hollowed out by this fire. It's been utterly
:01:40. > :01:42.ravaged. This is brutal. How industrial pollution is hindering
:01:43. > :01:47.efforts to clean up the river Ganges. And China raises its game,
:01:48. > :01:56.we will find out how it is nurturing young talent as it set its site on
:01:57. > :01:59.becoming a food bowl super power. The president wants the country to
:02:00. > :02:06.be a leader in global football, hosting and winning World Cups. We
:02:07. > :02:09.know that hundreds of thousands of people have been making the
:02:10. > :02:13.dangerous journey across the Mediterranean trying to reach Europe
:02:14. > :02:17.for a better life. But what about those who don't make it and end up
:02:18. > :02:25.drowning in the sea or being washed up on shore? We have discovered that
:02:26. > :02:28.1700 men, women and children have been buried in unmarked graves in
:02:29. > :02:34.places like Turkey, Greece and Italy. We report from Lesbos which
:02:35. > :02:38.has become the landing point for many migrants arriving in Europe.
:02:39. > :02:51.A boat full of Syrians fleeing war land on Lesbos. No one on this boat
:02:52. > :02:59.drowned but one man was crushed to death. And another died of a heart
:03:00. > :03:03.attack when he set foot on land. Both victims were travelling with
:03:04. > :03:11.other people who are able to later confirm their identities. But there
:03:12. > :03:15.are hundreds more who have either been lost at sea or find but not
:03:16. > :03:20.identified. Their relatives scattered across the globe are left
:03:21. > :03:24.with a lingering pain that could haunt them for the rest of their
:03:25. > :03:29.lives. In the last two years more than 8000 people have died trying to
:03:30. > :03:34.reach Europe. On average at least one person each day has been buried
:03:35. > :03:39.in an unmarked grave. What you see on these red dots, scattered across
:03:40. > :03:43.Italy, Greece and Turkey. More than 70 of these burial sites have been
:03:44. > :03:48.found as part of this BBC investigation. The seminary on
:03:49. > :03:53.Lesbos is one of them, with dozens of bodies. Most of them and
:03:54. > :03:59.identified. Some are recovered when the boats they were on capsized.
:04:00. > :04:02.Others wash up a short days or even weeks later. Many relatives of the
:04:03. > :04:09.missing are desperately trying to find them. TRANSLATION:
:04:10. > :04:15.This man has been on such a quest for the last five months, his
:04:16. > :04:19.brother and wife died when their boat capsized off Lesbos but the
:04:20. > :04:21.bodies of their four children were never found. He spoke to the BBC
:04:22. > :04:46.from Kabul. He has travelled hundreds of miles
:04:47. > :04:51.in Turkey and in Greece, hoping to find either proof of life or at
:04:52. > :04:52.least a DNA match with unidentified bodies of children bedded and
:04:53. > :05:12.Lesbos. Local authorities in all three
:05:13. > :05:17.countries have been stretched as they try to deal with unidentified
:05:18. > :05:21.dead bodies. Because of the large number of bodies found by Greek
:05:22. > :05:25.authorities they have had to bring in containers like these. Sometimes
:05:26. > :05:30.the bodies of migrants stay here for days or weeks or even months. These
:05:31. > :05:32.containers are on an island which does not even have a coroner. One
:05:33. > :06:02.had to be flown in from Lesbos. Many of those who braved death to
:06:03. > :06:06.reach Europe leave relatives behind, with the hope of someday seeing them
:06:07. > :06:11.again. But those lost along the trail leave a darker kind of
:06:12. > :06:17.longing. No longer for reunion, only for closure.
:06:18. > :06:23.Roughly 1 million people reached Europe by sea last year and around
:06:24. > :06:27.one in three of them were children. Many make the journey with their
:06:28. > :06:30.families but substantial numbers are arriving as an accompanied miners
:06:31. > :06:35.making them among the most vulnerable of all migrant groups.
:06:36. > :06:40.Our correspondence Paul Adams has been to Eastern Germany to find out
:06:41. > :06:45.how young migrants are beginning to build a new life for themselves. As
:06:46. > :06:52.they fled Afghanistan alone could any of them have imagined this?
:06:53. > :06:55.Thousands of miles from home, without families, these an
:06:56. > :07:03.accompanied young refugees are putting their backs into new lives.
:07:04. > :07:06.TRANSLATION: They give us what we need and board potently it's a safe
:07:07. > :07:13.place here. In fact this is the first time I feel safe. TRANSLATION:
:07:14. > :07:20.We felt homesick early on, I was very sad but now I am happy. My
:07:21. > :07:25.father was taken by the Taliban two weeks ago, I am worried about that.
:07:26. > :07:31.The boys have only been here since the start of the year but already
:07:32. > :07:38.they know the drill. Up early for the drive to school. It's a short
:07:39. > :07:41.ride past landmarks from an earlier conflict, the great castle at
:07:42. > :07:54.Colditz home to prisoners during the Second World War. The school has had
:07:55. > :08:01.to adjust. Refugees started arriving in February, now there's a whole
:08:02. > :08:07.class. Most are alone, most from Afghanistan, but the girls are here
:08:08. > :08:13.with their families. This boy is Syrian, from a liberal and lives
:08:14. > :08:18.nearby with his father. TRANSLATION: I want to get an education because
:08:19. > :08:23.in Afghanistan I never went to school. I had to work so I never had
:08:24. > :08:30.the chance to go to school. Now I am here and I go to school, I like it
:08:31. > :08:35.so much. I give them my hand, my help, because I know that for them
:08:36. > :08:42.the school here is a place, is a peaceful place for them. But still a
:08:43. > :08:47.place of uncertainty as well. At break time the new arrivals keep
:08:48. > :08:52.mostly to themselves. This small, tight-knit rural community has never
:08:53. > :09:00.seen the like before. And in nearby cities there is anti-immigrant
:09:01. > :09:04.sentiment. And ageing population, traditional values, plenty of good
:09:05. > :09:09.will towards the new arrivals. But scepticism as well about what the
:09:10. > :09:14.German government has done. TRANSLATION: In my opinion it's not
:09:15. > :09:17.right, no country in the world just opens up the borders and lets
:09:18. > :09:27.100,000 people marched in completely uncontrolled. If they come to us,
:09:28. > :09:30.they had to adapt to fit in with us. These boys look relaxed and
:09:31. > :09:35.confident enough but an accompanied miners are among the most vulnerable
:09:36. > :09:39.of already jeez. Nobody knows how many there are in Europe today but
:09:40. > :09:44.it is at least 20 or 30,000 and in the first two months of this year
:09:45. > :09:50.alone 30% of all asylum applications here in Germany were from children.
:09:51. > :09:55.The Afghan boys are luckier than most, they have each other for a
:09:56. > :10:00.company and it seems a warm and nurturing welcome in Europe. Paul
:10:01. > :10:04.Adams, BBC News, Eastern Germany. The Canadian city of Fort McMurray
:10:05. > :10:09.used to be known as an oil boom town. Now it's become famous as the
:10:10. > :10:14.city which had to evacuate its entire population, more than 80,000
:10:15. > :10:17.people because of a huge wildfire. It's no thought around 2000 homes
:10:18. > :10:24.have been burned to ground but it will be weak of Orson it's safe
:10:25. > :10:27.enough for people to return. Laura Becker was around into the city to
:10:28. > :10:32.see for herself and much damage has been caused. The fire has ripped
:10:33. > :10:38.away the flesh and fabric of this family neighbourhood. Once prized
:10:39. > :10:41.living rooms are now burnt out foundations. The flames have left
:10:42. > :10:48.little but twisted metal and charred concrete. The grim aftermath of a
:10:49. > :10:52.frightening force of nature, man was powerless to control. You can see
:10:53. > :10:56.the remainder of family homes here, you can see that this was somewhere
:10:57. > :11:03.that people cherished, there is garden furniture, there are pieces
:11:04. > :11:09.of life which are now blackened and hollowed out by this fire. It's been
:11:10. > :11:13.utterly ravaged. This is brutal. Once the home of striving couples
:11:14. > :11:18.drawn to an oil-rich town the panic and chaos of their flight to safety
:11:19. > :11:24.has been replaced by an an easy calm. This was a beast, it was an
:11:25. > :11:29.animal, it was like a fire I've never seen in my life. Exhausted and
:11:30. > :11:35.emotional the chief wants residents to know he did all he could but the
:11:36. > :11:40.fire did not play by the rules. This is reuniting the book, the way this
:11:41. > :11:45.thing travelled and behaved. They are rewritten the formulas on how
:11:46. > :11:49.fires behave based on the spire. Much of Fort McMurray still stands.
:11:50. > :11:55.The hospital, schools, all untouched. But there is no power, no
:11:56. > :11:59.clean water, no gas supplies. The city will be abandoned for some time
:12:00. > :12:04.whilst officials come up with a plan. And not far away the fire
:12:05. > :12:08.lingers in the forest, still threatening and in places still out
:12:09. > :12:14.of control. Laura Becker, BBC News, Fort McMurray. Xena should Harry is
:12:15. > :12:19.thought to be the first female journalist to be a victim of
:12:20. > :12:23.enforced disappearance in Pakistan. Her family and human rights groups
:12:24. > :12:27.blame security services who are accused of illegally detaining
:12:28. > :12:31.thousands of people under the guise of anti-terrorism operations. The
:12:32. > :12:34.Pakistani government has set up a special commission to find these
:12:35. > :12:46.missing persons. But her family are still waiting for answers. Time is
:12:47. > :12:50.suspended for this woman, her daughter, a journalist, disappeared
:12:51. > :12:55.almost a year ago. But she keeps things as she left them. Her close
:12:56. > :13:02.Ireland and hanging the closet. She is not giving up hope. But her
:13:03. > :13:08.17-year-old brother did. He committed suicide.
:13:09. > :13:17.TRANSLATION: I feel like a fish struggling to breathe without water.
:13:18. > :13:26.I cry for my son and I cry for my daughter, I cried for the rest of my
:13:27. > :13:31.small children. I have no money, no status. I only have these children
:13:32. > :13:37.and I beg all of you, please return my daughter to me safe and alive. I
:13:38. > :13:45.have already lost a son, this is the only hope I have left, that my
:13:46. > :13:49.daughter will come back. Zeenat had been investigating the disappearance
:13:50. > :13:53.of an Indian man when she vanished. It later emerged he had been
:13:54. > :13:59.arrested by the authorities. What happened to her is still a mystery.
:14:00. > :14:04.This is where Zeenat was picked up as she was leaving for work in a
:14:05. > :14:08.rickshaw. She had reached around this spot when two cars blocked her
:14:09. > :14:13.path, armed men got out and forcibly took our and drove away. How did a
:14:14. > :14:17.female journalist get abducted in broad daylight at a busy
:14:18. > :14:21.intersection such as this in the metropolitan city of Lahore were
:14:22. > :14:27.such things don't normally a car has raised many eyebrows. And more
:14:28. > :14:31.questions than answers. According to human rights lawyers it's all done
:14:32. > :14:34.in the name of security, Pakistan is new anti-terrorist laws allowing the
:14:35. > :14:43.intelligence agencies to operate with impunity. The modus operandi of
:14:44. > :14:49.the actual incidence of abduction that were narrated by the
:14:50. > :14:55.eyewitnesses also point to the kind of operation that security agencies
:14:56. > :14:58.conduct. Then of course the very fact that despite all the pressure
:14:59. > :15:07.we have been putting on the police and the civil security agencies, she
:15:08. > :15:11.has not been recovered. Zeenat has become another name on a growing
:15:12. > :15:16.list of missing people. More than 1000 cases are still pending for a
:15:17. > :15:20.commission looking into the issue. The government insists progress is
:15:21. > :15:25.being made on the case of Zeenat but they would not talk on the record
:15:26. > :15:31.despite repeated requests. Her mother feels some comfort coming to
:15:32. > :15:35.her son 's grave. She brings flowers and offers prayers. She says she is
:15:36. > :15:39.deprived of the sense of closure for her daughter. She does not know
:15:40. > :15:48.where Zeenat is alive or dead. She remains missing. One of the first
:15:49. > :15:52.promises made by the Indian prime and stir Narendra Modi when he swept
:15:53. > :15:56.to power two years ago was to clean up the river Ganges. The sacred
:15:57. > :16:03.river of Hinduism is now one of the dirtiest rivers in the world. One of
:16:04. > :16:05.the biggest problems is industrial pollution as we discovered when we
:16:06. > :16:15.went to a stretch of the Ganges. You don't have to be a scientist to
:16:16. > :16:19.know that the Ganges is polluted. It really smells. I am in the centre of
:16:20. > :16:25.India's huge leather industry. There is a tannery... Much of the leather
:16:26. > :16:32.produced here is exported to Europe and the US. Oh God, it is really
:16:33. > :16:40.powerful. Very strong. What kind of waste we have here? Highly chemical
:16:41. > :16:45.iced and toxic water. Waste water coming from the planner is. Tannery
:16:46. > :16:50.'s user variety of chemicals, hundreds of chemicals. Including a
:16:51. > :16:59.dangerous chemicals like crony too soft on the leather. Yeah, chemicals
:17:00. > :17:03.and pesticides as well. Which ones are tannery 's? The government say
:17:04. > :17:08.they are making progress reducing pollution and to prove it... We have
:17:09. > :17:12.been given permission to go out with a team of pollution control officers
:17:13. > :17:18.on a surprise inspection of the leather tanneries. This is a bit
:17:19. > :17:25.different. Stopping something happening down there. What are you
:17:26. > :17:39.stopping, why are you stopping, who is in charge? Four days, four days
:17:40. > :17:42.of flesh. Huge pools of water which has the distinctive blue because
:17:43. > :17:45.there is chrome in it. And there are hides here which have clearly been
:17:46. > :17:53.treated with the chrome. This does not look so good. This does not look
:17:54. > :17:57.tidy at all. It looks disgusting. The effort to clean the river is
:17:58. > :18:01.more than just an environmental project. It's being seen as a
:18:02. > :18:08.crucial test of India's ability to modernise because it means tackling
:18:09. > :18:11.corruption. And enforcing effective regulation as well as massive
:18:12. > :18:15.investment in sewage and effluent treatment infrastructure. It is
:18:16. > :18:21.clear there is still a long way to go. Meanwhile the government says it
:18:22. > :18:27.has raised pollution standards and is already closed more than 100
:18:28. > :18:33.tanneries. It says its clean Ganges mission is a key priority but warns
:18:34. > :18:37.it will take time. We are not saying that the whole mission will be
:18:38. > :18:48.completed in five years. Five years will ensure there is a marked
:18:49. > :18:52.difference. But it's a long project. The London Thames was dirty 50, 60
:18:53. > :18:56.years ago but they two, was 20 years to complete play change the overall
:18:57. > :19:03.ecology of that and we will also achieve it. It will take sustained
:19:04. > :19:11.effort and constant vigilance to clean this mighty river. But there
:19:12. > :19:20.is a key advantage, the fact that so many Indians want him to succeed.
:19:21. > :19:26.Think of China and you probably don't immediately think of football.
:19:27. > :19:30.But the country's president wants to change all that. Last month he
:19:31. > :19:34.announced ambitious plans to transform the country into a
:19:35. > :19:37.football superpower. China's Super League is one of the richest and
:19:38. > :19:41.fastest growing in the world and already competes with top European
:19:42. > :19:45.clubs to sign some of the world best football players. Richard Conway has
:19:46. > :19:52.been finding out how the professional game is paving the way
:19:53. > :20:02.for the President's plan. China is changing. The rid of football is
:20:03. > :20:06.taking hold. I growing fan base and love for the sport is crediting fast
:20:07. > :20:11.across the most populous nation on earth. And there is fierce,
:20:12. > :20:16.competitive ambition. China wants not only the best league, but the
:20:17. > :20:19.best national team in the world. Sven-Goran Erikkson has been one of
:20:20. > :20:24.the top coaches in world football for over two decades. He has worked
:20:25. > :20:29.within China for the past three years and insists there is no end in
:20:30. > :20:36.sight to the game 's rapid growth. Three years ago it was not like
:20:37. > :20:42.this. The football was OK, good. But now, recently, this season, it's
:20:43. > :20:48.gone crazy. It's absolutely the right time to be in China in
:20:49. > :20:52.football. The big foreign names were not really interested in China, only
:20:53. > :20:59.when they are getting older, on the way down. But now, even when they
:21:00. > :21:05.are at their peak they are interested in China. They are the
:21:06. > :21:08.biggest spending club in a league responsible for five of the six most
:21:09. > :21:15.expensive global transfers this year. When Ramirez left Chelsea to
:21:16. > :21:21.come here and Liverpool lost out on Brazilian striker Alex Pixie Lott,
:21:22. > :21:24.the world sat up and took notice. The leading agent believes more
:21:25. > :21:29.stars will now follow. It's going crazy right now, it's really going
:21:30. > :21:34.crazy. We had a saying that the only players who are not coming to China
:21:35. > :21:38.where Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, the other names are all
:21:39. > :21:41.highly possible. It's here in Tiananmen square that China's
:21:42. > :21:46.political power is centred. It's also been the location for some of
:21:47. > :21:50.the darker moments of the past. But the president is firmly focused on
:21:51. > :21:56.China's future, he wants the country to be a global leader in football,
:21:57. > :22:00.hosting and winning World Cups. The President's love of football was
:22:01. > :22:04.apparent during his visit to Britain last year, famously posing with
:22:05. > :22:08.Sergio Aguero for a selfie. His master plan will aim to have 50
:22:09. > :22:14.million Chinese citizens playing football by 2020. China will build
:22:15. > :22:18.or renovate 6000 stadiums and pitches. And 50,000 schools
:22:19. > :22:23.specialising in football will be established within the next ten
:22:24. > :22:27.years. Chinese big business is falling into line and winning favour
:22:28. > :22:33.through football. The same companies that lend their names to the top
:22:34. > :22:36.clubs of China are now investing in European leagues. The ultimate
:22:37. > :22:42.strategic goal is to create an $800 billion sports industry which will
:22:43. > :22:48.diversify the country's economy. Hosting the World Cup is key.
:22:49. > :22:52.TRANSLATION: To host the World Cup is a festival of fans, it shows the
:22:53. > :22:56.country's capability to host such a tournament. It's only possible if
:22:57. > :23:00.the country is developed to a certain level and has the financial
:23:01. > :23:06.ability, that's not a problem. But for China the earliest would still
:23:07. > :23:12.be the 2030 finals. Two hours drive east of Beijing as the rural farming
:23:13. > :23:19.town of bingo. It's home to this elementary school which lies in the
:23:20. > :23:24.shadow of China's great Wall. These six and seven-year-olds are
:23:25. > :23:28.pioneers. They attend one of China's first designated football schools
:23:29. > :23:33.and provide a first glimpse of their President's vision of a footballing
