0:00:00 > 0:00:10Now on BBC News it is Reporters.
0:00:17 > 0:00:18Welcome to Reporters.
0:00:18 > 0:00:19I'm Karin Giannone.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22From here in the world's newsroom we send out correspondents to bring
0:00:22 > 0:00:24you the best stories from across the globe.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26In this week's programme: A deadly year at sea.
0:00:26 > 0:00:30Orla Guerin reports from Libya where migrant numbers
0:00:30 > 0:00:35are on the rise once again.
0:00:35 > 0:00:41And finds it's still the traffickers who all the waves.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44When you were arranging for these people to get on these overcrowded
0:00:44 > 0:00:46boats and go to Europe, did you ever stop to think
0:00:46 > 0:00:48that they could die on the way?
0:00:48 > 0:00:49No.
0:00:49 > 0:00:54No, because we always pray for them, you know?
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Trump versus Clinton as the race for the White House comes
0:00:56 > 0:00:59down to the final two.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Katty Kay assesses their rival campaigns and assesses who might be
0:01:02 > 0:01:05first to the finish line.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07It just doesn't seem possible that it's a coincidence that Republicans
0:01:07 > 0:01:11and Democrats should experience political meltdown of the same time.
0:01:11 > 0:01:16Russia's Olympic reprieve after Moscow escaps a blanket ban
0:01:16 > 0:01:20from next week's games, Wyre Davies finds out if Brazil's
0:01:20 > 0:01:27anti-doping lab can catch the dope cheats.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30With doping such a big issue, it is vital that Rio 2016
0:01:30 > 0:01:33is seen to get things right and that the Games are
0:01:33 > 0:01:35as clean as possible.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Unlocking the secrets of the teenage brain.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Pallab Ghosh investigates new research which may help
0:01:41 > 0:01:46explain adolescent behaviour.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49And from Lagos to London's West End.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53Will Gomperts reviews the Nigerian musical that's finding
0:01:53 > 0:01:58new theatre audiences.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01We are bringing a story of hope and I believe we are the future.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04We the youth are the future and we want to change the way
0:02:04 > 0:02:09Nigeria is portrayed in the media.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12It's been a deadly year so far for migrants facing the perilous
0:02:12 > 0:02:16journey across the Mediterranean in search of a better life in Europe.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19The International Organisation for Migration says more than 3000
0:02:19 > 0:02:23have now lost their lives.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27That's over 1000 more than at this stage last year.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31They said 2016 could become the worst year ever.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Most of those who perished came from Libya and died
0:02:34 > 0:02:43in smugglers' vessels.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Orla Guerin has been with the Libyan coast guard as it struggles
0:02:46 > 0:02:47to cope with the influx.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51As the sun goes down, we set out with the Tripoli Coast Guard, facing
0:02:51 > 0:02:54the perils of the Mediterranean which has claimed so many.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57This inflatable battered by the waves is their only
0:02:57 > 0:03:01sea worthy vessel.
0:03:01 > 0:03:06From their fleet of four, three need repairs.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Later in pitch darkness they are on the lookout
0:03:09 > 0:03:12for migrants in distress.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Not easy without night-vision goggles.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19All they can do is listen for the vessels.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22It is 1:30am in the morning and we are in the stretch
0:03:22 > 0:03:25of water where smugglers' boats pass regularly,
0:03:25 > 0:03:27usually between one and three.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30The engine is off here, the lights are off.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32The Coast Guard don't want to alert anyone to their presence,
0:03:32 > 0:03:36but if a rescue is needed here tonight they have just this
0:03:36 > 0:03:40one small vessel.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43With daybreak, a clear horizon this time, but they say it's
0:03:43 > 0:03:47the traffickers who rule the waves.
0:03:47 > 0:03:52TRANSLATION: Smugglers have more boats and more weapons.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55They have long-range guns.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58They can escort the migrants to European waters and we can't do
0:03:58 > 0:04:01anything to stop them.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03The state does not support us.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07We have not been paid since March.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09And Coast Guard officials say there is another problem
0:04:09 > 0:04:13further out to sea, just beyond Libyan territorial waters.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Operation Sofia.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19They say the EU mission supposed to shut down smuggling routes
0:04:19 > 0:04:27is ferrying migrants to Italy like a taxi.
0:04:27 > 0:04:33There is agreement from a smuggler, now detained, who authorities
0:04:33 > 0:04:34say is a big fish.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36The operation saved lives and encouraged people
0:04:36 > 0:04:39to travel more.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41The rescue, they are very close to Libya.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43So they think the ships will pick them up quickly?
0:04:44 > 0:04:45Quickly.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48When you were arranging for these people to get on these overcrowded
0:04:48 > 0:04:50boats and go to Europe, did you ever stop
0:04:50 > 0:04:53to think that they could die on the way?
0:04:53 > 0:04:55No.
0:04:55 > 0:05:01No, because we always pray for them, you know?
0:05:01 > 0:05:03But here is how they send them to see.
0:05:03 > 0:05:11The Coast Guard coming to rescue this overloaded vessel last month.
0:05:11 > 0:05:21Pregnant women among those scrambling for places.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24So many crammed on board, some of the crew had to sit on top
0:05:25 > 0:05:28of the cabin.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32And this is what awaits those saved by the Coast Guard.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Detention back in Libya.
0:05:35 > 0:05:42Even for women and children, the youngest not spared.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44This baby is just 21 days old.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Several of those here told us they would not
0:05:47 > 0:05:50risk the crossing again, but the Coast Guard said they have
0:05:50 > 0:05:56rescued some migrants are five or six times.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59For the men and boys, even worse conditions.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03The authorities say they are doing their best with scarce resources
0:06:03 > 0:06:10amidst the chaos of Libya.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14This 14-year-old from Gambia told us his brother was caught
0:06:14 > 0:06:18and deported in 2010.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22Still, he came here all alone, hoping to find work in Europe.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Many we met were economic migrants, trapped in what amounts
0:06:25 > 0:06:29to a teeming prison.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31We all share the same two toilets.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Two toilets we have here that we share.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35For hundreds of people?
0:06:35 > 0:06:39Yes, for hundreds of people, under the same roof here.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41It's really un-normal here.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44We have here three months and my other fellow Gambians have
0:06:44 > 0:06:47four months here.
0:06:47 > 0:06:48We are tired.
0:06:48 > 0:06:49We want to go home.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51We've been here six months now.
0:06:51 > 0:06:52Some are on the move.
0:06:52 > 0:06:59More than 160 men heading to the airport.
0:06:59 > 0:07:07Instead of a new life they craved, being deported back to Gambia.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11Others, like Betty from Nigeria, still look to the Mediterranean
0:07:11 > 0:07:14for salvation.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18She's waiting for a call from the traffickers.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21She knows some who set out from here wash up on the beaches,
0:07:21 > 0:07:24but she says her only chance of a better life is to risk
0:07:24 > 0:07:27death at sea.
0:07:27 > 0:07:32Orla Guerin, BBC News, Tripoli.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Pope Francis has said that the recent wave of jihadists
0:07:35 > 0:07:37attacks in Europe is proof that the world is at war.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Churches across Europe were on alert this week after one of the worst
0:07:40 > 0:07:44attacks saw the shocking murder of an 84-year-old priest
0:07:44 > 0:07:49during Holy Mass in the tiny French town of Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52It's yet another act of barbarism so soon after the Nice massacre
0:07:52 > 0:07:57and a spate of attacks in Germany, In Wuerzburg and Ansbach.
0:07:57 > 0:08:03All brutal, but unsophisticated, designed to breed insecurity.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Secunder Kermani reports from Saint Etienne on the new
0:08:05 > 0:08:11security environment France and much of Europe is now faced with.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14For those in Rouen Cathedral attending a Mass in honour
0:08:14 > 0:08:16of Father Jacques Hamel, there must've been
0:08:16 > 0:08:20an awful sense of deja vu.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Yet another IS related attack in France.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27If young people were targeted in Paris, families in Nice,
0:08:27 > 0:08:30an 84-year-old priest represented yet another aspect of
0:08:30 > 0:08:35society under attack.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38The priest that normally works in the church that was attacked said
0:08:38 > 0:08:43the murdered man was only there as he was away on holiday.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47TRANSLATION: I've spoken to a few people, notably some of the sisters
0:08:47 > 0:08:50who were taken hostage this morning.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53They are all very shocked.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57I don't know how we're going to get through the next few hours.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59He was a simple man.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01He was always at people's service.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04He was 85.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06He could've taken a quiet retirement, but he preferred
0:09:06 > 0:09:09to stay active as long as he was good health.
0:09:09 > 0:09:16He preferred to stay active and serve his parish.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18The two attackers burst into this church, taking the priest
0:09:18 > 0:09:20and a handful of nuns and parishioners prisoner.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23They slit the throat of the priest and recorded it on camera.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26One nun speaking to French media described what she saw.
0:09:26 > 0:09:36Both attackers were killed quickly by police as they emerged
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Both attackers were killed quickly by police as they emerged
0:09:51 > 0:09:54from the church, but there will be questions for the security services.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58At least one of the attackers who struck it was very much
0:09:58 > 0:10:01on the authority's radar.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Having tried and failed to get to Syria, he was on a curfew
0:10:04 > 0:10:08and even wearing an electronic tag.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11At the cathedral some felt there was little that could ever be
0:10:11 > 0:10:15done to protect such soft targets.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17TRANSLATION: It was a small church.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Nobody thought it would ever be attacked, so yes,
0:10:20 > 0:10:24you see the Army in the street every day in small groups, but you can't
0:10:24 > 0:10:27keep an eye on everyone.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29You can't check up on everyone.
0:10:29 > 0:10:34It's just not possible.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37But among some in France there is real anger at the continuing
0:10:37 > 0:10:39attacks happening here.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Prime Minister Manuel Valls was booed as he attended a minute's
0:10:42 > 0:10:46silence for the victims in Nive two weeks ago.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49He had suggested that terrorism was becoming a modern reality France
0:10:50 > 0:10:54would have to learn to live with.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57As always after an attack there are prayers for the dead,
0:10:58 > 0:10:59but there are also questions.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Could more have been done to prevent the bloodshed?
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Were those responsible directed by IS, or just inspired by them?
0:11:05 > 0:11:08But perhaps the biggest question in France right now is how on earth
0:11:08 > 0:11:11does the country stop what appears to be an almost relentless
0:11:11 > 0:11:15tide of these attacks?
0:11:15 > 0:11:19TRANSLATION: We are very attached to liberty, but in situations
0:11:19 > 0:11:23like this people who have nothing to hide have nothing to worry about.
0:11:23 > 0:11:24Quite the opposite.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27Their security is dependent on it, so you can't say their liberty
0:11:27 > 0:11:29is at risk.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31The state has to take all the measures possible to bring
0:11:31 > 0:11:37back security and protect its citizens.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Following the attacks in Paris in November there were 3500 raids
0:11:40 > 0:11:44as part of the state of emergency that was imposed.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47They were criticised by some for being too harsh,
0:11:47 > 0:11:50and there are calls for the authorities not to go
0:11:50 > 0:11:55down that route again.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57TRANSLATION: The response to violence is never violence.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Our response should be reasoned.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02We need to think long-term.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05We need to understand people's motivations.
0:12:05 > 0:12:10Right now we're completely out of our depth.
0:12:10 > 0:12:17This afternoon one person was arrested in
0:12:17 > 0:12:19connection with the attack.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21One of the victims is still in hospital, but the French
0:12:21 > 0:12:24president has had to visit the scene of yet another outrage.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26He said that IS have declared war on France.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29Now the pressure on him to respond is growing.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32What a couple of weeks it's been in American politics.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35The convention season is now over and now we know the next president
0:12:35 > 0:12:38of the United States will be either the first-ever woman
0:12:38 > 0:12:42Hillary Clinton, or Donald Trump.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Katty Kay attended both the Democratic and Republican
0:12:45 > 0:12:48conventions and has been assessing what we can expect in the coming
0:12:48 > 0:12:52months before the poll in November.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55The city of Philadelphia has a claim on American democracy.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58It was in Independence Hall that the founding fathers adopted
0:12:58 > 0:13:03the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution and two
0:13:03 > 0:13:06and a half centuries later you have to wonder what those wise heads
0:13:06 > 0:13:11would have made of today's political chaos.
0:13:11 > 0:13:20Can I just say to be Bernie or bust people, you're being ridiculous.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Can I just say to the Bernie or bust people, you're being ridiculous.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Democrats took over Philadelphia, bringing with them more sound
0:13:25 > 0:13:26and fury than peace and harmony.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29This was the week Bernie Sanders discovered you could create
0:13:29 > 0:13:31a political revolution, but you could not always control it.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Scenes of party friction were broadcast around the country.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37As they were the week before at the Republican National Convention
0:13:37 > 0:13:46where loud boos said the former candidate Ted Cruz from the stage.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48where loud boos sent the former candidate Ted Cruz from the stage.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51A lot of Republicans stayed away from the show in Cleveland,
0:13:51 > 0:13:53reluctant even to be seen cavorting with Donald Trump.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55For the past four decades American conventions have
0:13:55 > 0:13:57been tightly scripted, honestly rather boring events
0:13:57 > 0:13:59where no news ever happened.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02Not this year, and it just doesn't seem possible that it's
0:14:02 > 0:14:05a coincidence that Republicans and Democrats should experience
0:14:05 > 0:14:09political meltdown at the same time.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12There's a famous bell in the heart of Philadelphia that was brought
0:14:12 > 0:14:14here in 1752.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17The leaders of the two establishment parties would do well to re-read
0:14:17 > 0:14:23the words engraved on it.
0:14:23 > 0:14:28That's exactly what happened in Cleveland and in Philadelphia
0:14:28 > 0:14:30this hot summer.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33The recalcitrant political rabble on both the left and the right
0:14:33 > 0:14:36demanding the freedom to be heard.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40They wanted liberty from existing autocratic political structures.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44Structures they see as corrupt and unresponsive.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47How we got here to the fracturing of America's political
0:14:47 > 0:14:51parties is the long tale of economic globalisation
0:14:51 > 0:14:54and political dysfunction.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57It's the tale of policymakers who fail to protect those left
0:14:57 > 0:15:01behind by the forces of immigration and free trade.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05As they race to the White House, both parties will try to paper over
0:15:05 > 0:15:08the cracks and present a show of unity, but don't be fooled.
0:15:08 > 0:15:13Unity is just a heat fuelled mirage, as we learned
0:15:13 > 0:15:17in Cleveland and Philadelphia.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21After the International Olympic Committee's decision not to impose
0:15:21 > 0:15:24a blanket ban on Russia over its doping records, the onus
0:15:24 > 0:15:26is now on the Brazilian authorities.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30But can Rio's much troubled anti-doping lab make sure that drugs
0:15:30 > 0:15:33cheats are caught during the games?
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Wyre Davies has been given access to the laboratory which has
0:15:36 > 0:15:40only just recovered its licence to operate.
0:15:40 > 0:15:45Joyce Silva is a freestyle wrestler who has a real chance of winning
0:15:45 > 0:15:50a medal at her home Olympics in Rio.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53But her sport has been played in the past by doping,
0:15:53 > 0:15:56with Russian athletes among the biggest culprits.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Earlier this year dozens of Russian wrestlers were exposed as drug
0:15:59 > 0:16:07cheats and Joyce doesn't want them in Rio.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Doping is completely unfair, says the Rio-based athlete.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14When you are fighting and losing to an opponent who is on drugs,
0:16:14 > 0:16:18it is soul destroying and feels like you're being robbed.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21The Russian athletics squad is already banned from Rio,
0:16:21 > 0:16:24but the IOC has sidestepped the thorny issue of whether to
0:16:24 > 0:16:27suspend the entire Russian delegation, despite allegations
0:16:27 > 0:16:31of state-sponsored doping.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33The governing bodies of individual sports will now decide
0:16:33 > 0:16:36if Russians can compete.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39It all means a critical role for Brazil's new anti-doping lab
0:16:39 > 0:16:44which will test 450 samples daily during the games.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46But it's only just recovered its licence to operate
0:16:46 > 0:16:49after being accused of failing to meet International
0:16:49 > 0:16:52scientific standards.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56The laboratory will be the most technically efficient
0:16:56 > 0:17:01laboratory during the Games with all the expertise the world has
0:17:01 > 0:17:05in anti-doping analysis.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08So this will be a message for those athletes that will maybe be
0:17:08 > 0:17:11there to cheat for the Games, or before the Games,
0:17:11 > 0:17:14that they will be caught.
0:17:14 > 0:17:19The Olympic movement has really come under such scrutiny.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Its ideals questioned as much.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25With doping such a big issue, it's vital that Rio 2016 is seen
0:17:25 > 0:17:27to get things right, that thousands of fans aren't
0:17:27 > 0:17:32short-changed and that the games are as clean as possible.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Pedro Solberg was denied a place at London 2012
0:17:34 > 0:17:38because he was wrongly diagnosed as a drugs cheat.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41He says that with huge pressure on doping inspectors there is a real
0:17:41 > 0:17:44danger that honest athletes could be stigmatised.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48People who didn't use drugs, who didn't do anything wrong,
0:17:48 > 0:17:52they should not be out of the Olympics because of
0:17:52 > 0:17:54other people's mistakes.
0:17:54 > 0:18:00I know exactly how is this feeling.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03The pressure on the IOC to show its serious about doping
0:18:03 > 0:18:06is huge and so is the demand to let as many athletes as possible
0:18:06 > 0:18:08come here and compete.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12Wyre Davies, BBC News, Rio.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15Now for something a little different.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17It's a mystery that perplexes every parent.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Why is my teenager behaving like that?
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Scientists at Cambridge University have gained some insight
0:18:23 > 0:18:26into the huge personality and behavioural changes that happen
0:18:26 > 0:18:30to us in our teenage years, and as Pallab Ghosh explains,
0:18:30 > 0:18:33they are also gaining clues about why some developmental
0:18:33 > 0:18:43illnesses in the late teens and early adulthood.
0:18:43 > 0:18:44The human brain.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47It changes so much as we grow, shaping how we think and feel.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51Most profoundly during our teenage years.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Ruby Burbidge is 22 now, but like many of us,
0:18:54 > 0:18:56felt powerful feelings during her adolescence.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59When I was younger, I was just horrible.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03Like, mean and shouting and as I developed into an adult
0:19:03 > 0:19:06and come out of the adolescence stage, I've had more of a thought
0:19:06 > 0:19:10process and I take time and think about my actions before I do it.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13That was kind of lost during the time I was an adolescent.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15It was very reactionary.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19To understand these changes scientists scanned the brains
0:19:19 > 0:19:22of 300 healthy volunteers between the ages of 14 and 24.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26They were looking at the network of nerve centres that direct
0:19:26 > 0:19:30messages from one part of the brain to another.
0:19:30 > 0:19:35You can think of this like the global airline network
0:19:35 > 0:19:39that is made up of small infrequently used airports
0:19:39 > 0:19:41and huge hubs like Heathrow which has very high traffic.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44The brain uses a similar setup to coordinate our
0:19:44 > 0:19:47thoughts and actions.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50It found that during adolescence of the bigger hubs used for complex
0:19:50 > 0:19:53thought gets consolidated and strengthened, like how
0:19:53 > 0:19:58Heathrow or JFK have expanded over the years.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01These are the nodes in the brain network.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04The real prize for the team at Cambridge is to understand how
0:20:04 > 0:20:07mental illness develops.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Some, like schizophrenia, where patients have hallucinations,
0:20:10 > 0:20:13it emerged during late adolescence.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16The researchers have shown that the genes involved in rewiring
0:20:16 > 0:20:19the brain during the teenage years are also involved in many
0:20:19 > 0:20:22mental health disorders.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26As we understand more about what puts people at risk
0:20:26 > 0:20:30for schizophrenia, that gives us an opportunity to try and identify
0:20:30 > 0:20:35individuals that are at risk of becoming schizophrenic
0:20:35 > 0:20:38in the foreseeable future, over the next two or three years,
0:20:38 > 0:20:40and perhaps offering some treatment then that could be helpful
0:20:40 > 0:20:46in preventing the onset of clinical symptoms.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Alice has lived with a condition similar to schizophrenia
0:20:48 > 0:20:51ever since she was 18.
0:20:51 > 0:20:56She's a photographer and teaches art at university, but she still has
0:20:56 > 0:20:58occasional delusional episodes.
0:20:58 > 0:21:03To describe it, it is like being awake while you're in a nightmare.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07I would ride a bus and it would seem as if everyone on the bus
0:21:07 > 0:21:10was talking directly to me and saying nasty things about me
0:21:10 > 0:21:14and actually, that was quite frightening to experience.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18The research shows just how fragile the developing brain is,
0:21:18 > 0:21:22at its most vulnerable during the crucial teenage years.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26Pallab Ghosh, BBC News.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30Finally, it was a hit in Lagos and now it's coming to London.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32Wakaa The Musical follows the fate of a group of young graduates
0:21:32 > 0:21:36as they begin to find their way in the world.
0:21:36 > 0:21:46The show aims to give audiences a taste of modern-day Nigeria
0:21:48 > 0:21:51and to portray more positive images of the country than it is
0:21:51 > 0:21:52sometimes seen in the media.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Will Gompertz went along to see it.
0:21:54 > 0:21:55Musical theatre, Nigerian style.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Soulful, colourful and dynamic.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01It's not as slick as a West End blockbuster, or as expensive, but it
0:22:01 > 0:22:09has a spirit and a sensibility that feels fresh and true.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12The show tells the story of a group of young Nigerian graduates
0:22:12 > 0:22:15with different hopes, dreams and aspirations.
0:22:15 > 0:22:16# I can walk.
0:22:16 > 0:22:17# I can strive.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19# I can struggle through the night...
0:22:19 > 0:22:22What were the themes that you wanted to explore and present?
0:22:22 > 0:22:25There's a tendency for us to feel that everybody is corrupting
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Nigeria, but we are not.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30So what I was trying to do was juxtapose what people
0:22:30 > 0:22:33perceive to be the case and what the majority of us want,
0:22:33 > 0:22:37and that's why you have the character Tosa.
0:22:37 > 0:22:38I have great ideas.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40I'm talking about ideas that will help, you know,
0:22:40 > 0:22:43put to an end the level of unemployment that
0:22:43 > 0:22:44we have in the state.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48The average Nigerian works hard, wants to do good, wants
0:22:48 > 0:22:51to change his country.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55Tosa, try and catch your breath first.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58Also I was addressing the issue of migration.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02A lot of people are leaving Nigeria, the brain drain, and also
0:23:02 > 0:23:05thinking that the grass is greener on the other side.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08It's not always the case, as is the case of Rex.
0:23:08 > 0:23:09Superstar.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Dancer.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15London's West End.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19That was the plan, and then he arrived in London.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21You look different in your pictures.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23You are not white.
0:23:23 > 0:23:28Oh, that's just some model I used as my profile picture.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Life then gets complicated, but not for the cast,
0:23:30 > 0:23:34whose motivation is clear.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38If you know all the stories from Nigeria are horrible.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40You don't hear any good stories.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43You'd think we are fantastically corrupt or Boko Haram
0:23:43 > 0:23:46is bombing someone somewhere.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49But, you know, we're bringing a story of hope and I believe
0:23:49 > 0:23:49we are the future.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53We the youth are the future and we want to change the way
0:23:53 > 0:23:58Nigeria portrayed in the media and that is really why we are here.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02This show is a little bit different and so was tonight's audience.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05The big subsidised theatres here in the UK said they want
0:24:05 > 0:24:08to attract a more diverse crowd, but struggle to do so.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11Perhaps they should go along and see how it's done.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Will Gompertz, BBC News.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17And that's all from Reporters for this week.
0:24:17 > 0:24:27From me Karin Giannone, goodbye for now.
