their son had been taken from them. Nine months after they had been

we feel safe. She had given birth in her native

the hospital nursery and the next She was suspicious, the child did

not look like them and four months It was impossible that that was

your son? The thought that the baby that I had

been nursing, taking care of him, loving him, was not my baby,

that he was another baby and then I He was in El Salvador with

another family and the children It has forced

our families to be separated for nine months to get Moses

his birth certificate and passport. Taking nine months to get paperwork

for this child has probably been the most painful part

of the entire process. They still want answers

as to why the babies were swapped Guantanamo, the name alone conjures

up images of orange jumpsuits and shackles and thoughts

of torture and force-feeding. President Obama himself called

it contrary to American values. So why, eight years

after he vowed to shut down the US detention centre at Guantanamo Bay

in Cuba is it still open? The number of prisoners inside are

just one tenth of what they were, but Mr Obama has fought a tough

political fight against many who feel the continuing war on terror

will never justify its closure. Our reporter has been inside

GuantAanamo to see what is left. Keeping this facility open

is contrary to our values. It undermines our standing

in the world, it is viewed as a stain on our broader record

of upholding the highest standards. That is what President Obama has

been saying for years and in his final months in office,

the remaining prisoners at the sprawling complex in the detention

centre in Guantanamo Bay are It is extremely dark in here, we

are looking through one-way glass. Many detainees have been released

in recent months, those left behind have been here

so long, they are used to the mealtime routines, they have

improvised ways of getting exercise, We saw some interacting with

the guards. The number of prisoners here now are

just a 10th of what there once was, more are due to leave

in the summer months and around 2000 soldiers still operate in the place

and nothing seems to have close. You generally would not

see any difference. Do you see any reason why a facility

like this could not hold the same Under appropriate security

conditions in the United States, these detainees pose no more threat

than they do here. Even the name GuantAanamo conjures u

images of orange jumpsuits, it is synonymous with issues of torture

and force-feeding and what the White House says is that while it is still

standing, it remains a powerful recruiting tool for militant

groups around the world. So the White House wants it closed,

the officers running it think the prisoners could be housed

elsewhere and it is seen by many The answer is continued political

opposition back in Washington. They need it to be kept open,

not just for these detainees, but the next ones, who will bring all

the terrorists off the battlefield. The right place to take them is not

into the Eastern district of Philadelphia, it is to a place where

we can conduct an investigation We are only shown the detainees

in the lowest security wing. There were parts we were not shown,

which has men deemed so dangerous, After all the talk, what happens to

them and the detention centre as a whole now looks like an issue that

will be left to the next President. It has become known as East Europe's

forgotten war. And the conflict in eastern Ukraine

shows no signs of ending. The Ukrainian authorities say ten of

its soldiers were killed and dozens The renewed fighting comes just

weeks before Europe must decide whether or not to maintain

its sanctions against Russia. Tom Burridge and his team travelled

with the Ukrainian military to one of the most volatile parts

of the front line on the edge Venture into this industrial area,

known as the Prom zone on the edge of a small Ukrainian city and this

is the reality every night. We have just arrived in the Prom

zone. This perpetual war zone has

been largely forgotten. After two and a bit years

and countless diplomatic meetings, Russia and the West have failed to

deliver peace. Lethal warfare here sometimes

seems mundane and monotonous. Five, maybe ten minutes,

after we arrived here in the so-called Prom zone, sniper

fire, the crack of machine guns, the soldiers here say probably

RPG's, rocket-propelled grenades. Essentially,

it is welcome to the Prom zone. Our walk through the industrial

zone feels like it will never end. We reach a building where

people spend the night. Fighting these Ukrainian troops is

a militia that controls two tiny unrecognised Russian-backed

republics. 21-year-old Dima says he will die

for a land which he says is part The next day on a hillside near by,

we are shown This impressive network shows how

Ukraine has been digging in The country has not lost territory

to the rebels in well over a year and for that,

Ukraine can claim some success. It's only success has come

at a cost. In this front line town held

by Ukraine, we meet Victor. His wife was killed and his grandson

disabled, both by shelling. Eastern Ukraine is a deprived

region, with bitter divisions. The conflict has now become one of

attrition, which world powers have Tom Burridge, BBC News,

in eastern Ukraine. Germany's security chief has told

the BBC that the country is a target for so-called Islamic State

and an attack could happen there The head

of German domestic intelligence said radical Islamists were trying to

groom vulnerable refugees. As Katya Adler reports, the warning

comes as Germany sets out its plans for anti-terrorism reform,

including closer Secret Service We have seen horror in Paris,

mass bloodshed in Brussels. Territories across Europe

warned there will be more. Germany's intelligence chief

told me the danger is acute. TRANSLATION: An attack could

happen here at any moment, we get regular intelligence of terror

attacks being planned in Germany. It does worry me that attempts are

being made to radicalise Traditionally the German authorities

say they have kept a small radical Islamist scene here under control,

but with the sudden arrival last year of tens of thousands of young

Muslim men, there is concern here about parallel societies springing

up and of the radicals already here, Syed is Syrian,

his hometown was taken over by so-called Islamic State and so he

fled to Germany, but just recently He's asked us to conceal

his identity to protect TRANSLATION: Two guys stopped me

and asked a lot of questions. They asked me where I pray and said

that Germany wasn't a good place, They said they could support me

with money or accommodation. I felt uncomfortable,

but managed to get away. I know this behaviour

from back home, They're always looking

for people like me. Germany has already had a number

of small scale attacks and narrow escapes,

such as this night in November. The German Chancellor,

Angela Merkel, was about to arrive at the packed Hanover football

stadium before it was evacuated on concrete intelligence of a terrorist

attack, according to police. Germany is introducing what it calls

its integration law, to try to prevent the deepening of a parallel

society which is hard to police. TRANSLATION: The refugees don't

speak German, they don't understand our culture and

the radical Islamists are clever. They try to infiltrate refugee

centres pretending to be In an area locally referred to

as 'little Istanbul', we met Imam Husamuddin Meyer, who works as part

of a violence prevention programme. TRANSLATION: Racism and Islamophobia

are on the rise because of the migration crisis

and that can provoke radicalism. There is only a tiny percentage

of people who sympathies with violence, but you don't need many,

just one or two to raise chaos. Germany's government has opened

a dialogue with the country's mosques, it needs

their help to combat extremism. This is a country that once proudly

described itself as multi-cultural, but now the extremes

on the edges of society threaten to It's a verdict which will go down in

history and has already galvanised The former President of Chad,

Hissene Habre, was this week sentenced to life in

prison for crimes against humanity. It is the first time an

African Union-backed court has tried a former ruler

for human rights' abuses. As Maud Jullien reports

from the Chadian capital, N'Djamena, many have been waiting decades for

Mr Habre to be brought to justice. Minutes

after the verdict was pronounced, These are people who spent years

in prison, some of them are still TRANSLATION: I'm very

satisfied with the verdict. Hissene Habre sentenced

for life is just fine for me. TRANSLATION: I didn't expect to feel

such joy, but today I'm very, For the victims, this verdict is the

conclusion of a struggle of 20 years They feel that this is

a historical day for the country and for Africa, the day the Chadian

people put a dictator in prison. Hissene Habre was sentenced to life

imprisonment for crimes During his time in office it's

estimated 40,000 people were killed. TRANSLATION: When we dug a hole,

we would put two bodies inside. On the other side, the same thing,

two bodies. Usman was a prisoner during Habre's

rule. Every day, for two years, he says

he buried at least six people. TRANSLATION: I don't know why

people were arrested or executed. What I know is that they accused me

of being involved in politics, but Thousands of files

on the regime's prisoners were found Among them, 800 death certificates,

including one that says the prisoner died "while being

forced to reveal certain truths." It consists

in tying two sticks together around the victim's head, often

inflicting lasting brain damage. This man drew several torture

techniques for the judges to see. TRANSLATION: When I look

at these drawings, it's like I'm When I draw this in particular,

I remember how they climbed on my back and shouted, "savage,

you can just die." The victims say they will remain

scarred for life, but that this verdict allows them to

look forwards. TRANSLATION: What we have suffered

can never happen again in Chad. What we want here, more than

anything else, is stability, What happened with Hissene

Habre was enough for us. This trial is significant

for the victims, it was also International jurisdictions have

been criticised by African leaders and now that

a local court has shown that it can try another country's President,

we may see more cases emerge Now, it's one of the world's most

beautiful natural treasures, but scientists in Australia say parts of

the Great Barrier Reef are dying. More than a third

of the coral has been destroyed by what researchers say is the most

extreme case of mass bleaching they have ever measured, and they're

blaming it on climate change. Jon Donnison reports now

on Australia's disappearing coral This is what the Great Barrier Reef

is supposed to look like - a vast underwater

multi-coloured wonderland. But this is how much of it

looks today - pale and sickly. The latest research showing that

in parts coral bleaching has left It happens when warmer water causes

the coral to weaken and lose the colourful algae that

provide oxygen and nutrients. It's because of the increases

in the sea surface temperatures This year was a very, very dry year

for the northern part of the All these factors came together to

really produce one of the most dramatic coral bleaching events

that's ever occurred on the Great Australia is one of the world's

largest per capita emitters of greenhouse gases, but the

government here denies it's not done enough to protect the reef and cites

the UN's World Heritage Committee. The German Chairman of the committee

said that our management - that's to say Australia's management - of the

Great Barrier Reef was a world-class So there is no question that

we are doing a good job. A month away from a general

election, Australia's politicians Announcing a $400 million plan to

protect the reef if elected, the opposition Labour Party accused

the government of being in denial on climate change issues, even of

censoring a UN report out last week and pressuring officials to remove

references that were critical We see the effects of climate change

and we have a government currently in Canberra who,

despite Mr Turnbull's protestations, We see a government who managed to

censor the Unesco report This is a government who doesn't

want to hear the problem, they just want to stop anyone else

talking about the issue. Short-term politics though will not

save the Great Barrier Reef, it will take decades to recover

from the damage already done. Many environmentalists are now

warning that one of the seven natural wonders

of the world might not be around Finally, for centuries the Berber

men of North Africa have proved their worth in the dangerous sport

of Fantasia where teams of riders on horseback charge together, firing

their rifles in unison, but now, for the first time,

women have been taking them on. Sahar Zand has met some of

the Moroccan warrior women who are Fantasia, a centuries old Moroccan

tradition, a way for Berber men to show-off their masculinity -

horsemanship and warfare. But, in the recent years,

all-women troops are taking the This is the leader

of an all-female troop and today they are the only women competing

in this regional Fantasia. By doing Fantasia,

how different do you think the image you're giving out to the world is to

what they think a normal Arab or Before starting to do Fantasia,

I said that women were just cooking, keeping the house,

but now as women ride horse, Did you not think maybe you

can't do it because no other When you first started Fantasia,

how did men react to you? That sounds horrible,

did that not put you off? They're different to the rest

of the girls, How did you find the girls

in your troop? The mother is putting soil

in their boots for good luck. I am nervous for them,

my heart is beating. The aim is for the whole team to

charge and shoot simultaneously, a reflection of the Berber history

and culture on the battlefield. The winners are announced,

and the girls won. Although women can compete

in regional competitions like this, they are still banned

from competing at national level. That's all from Reporters

for this week. From me, Philippa Thomas,

goodbye for now. Yesterday sunshine wasn't spread

particularly far and wide, but there will be more sunshine

on offer for today.
