:00:00. > :00:00.attack happened and those are the only details we have at the moment.

:00:00. > :00:26.Now it's time for reporters. Welcome to Reporters. We send out

:00:27. > :00:32.correspondence to bring you the best stories from across the globe. In

:00:33. > :00:38.this week's programme, two years after so-called Islamic State

:00:39. > :00:42.enslaved thousands in northern Iraq, Frank Gardner get exclusive access

:00:43. > :00:47.to the team trying to bring the perpetrators to justice. The key for

:00:48. > :00:50.us is to establish the criminal responsibility not of Daesh as a

:00:51. > :00:58.whole but individual leaders within Daesh. The food queues of Venezuela.

:00:59. > :01:05.We find a country with an economy that has gone badly wrong.

:01:06. > :01:15.China's lawyers on trial. We report on the latest human rights

:01:16. > :01:23.crackdown. And the Tunisians trying to change public perception of

:01:24. > :01:32.tattoos. Many women come and want to get tattooed by a woman. Some still

:01:33. > :01:36.hide it. Pushing the limit. With the Olympics under way, we find out why

:01:37. > :01:46.a country the size of India has such a dismal record at the games. Two

:01:47. > :01:57.years ago so-called Islamic State launched an assault on Mount Sinjar

:01:58. > :02:02.in Iraq. Most of the men were killed. The attacks spurred the

:02:03. > :02:08.international community into action against Islamic State. Now the BBC

:02:09. > :02:12.has been given exclusive access to a group of lawyers and investigators

:02:13. > :02:16.trying to bring the perpetrators to justice. Frank Gardner went to meet

:02:17. > :02:32.them. On the run, dehydrated, and

:02:33. > :02:38.terrified. Hundreds of your CD -- hundreds of Yazidi families had to

:02:39. > :02:43.leave after their home was attacked by Islamic State. Two years on, the

:02:44. > :02:47.women and girls captured on the ground are still in during a living

:02:48. > :02:57.hell. Where is my Yazidi girl, demands this Islamic state fighter.

:02:58. > :03:04.They are discussing a modern slave market for sex with the girls, which

:03:05. > :03:07.persists today. Investigators are working to identify those

:03:08. > :03:10.responsible. Here among these documents in a European capital

:03:11. > :03:14.we've been asked not to name is the evidence that war crimes

:03:15. > :03:23.investigators say points to the culpability of senior Islamic State

:03:24. > :03:30.leaders for the sexual slavery of possibly thousands of women in Iraq.

:03:31. > :03:35.Bill Wylie is heading the investigation. His team's research

:03:36. > :03:40.into war crimes by Islamic State is being funded by Germany and Canada.

:03:41. > :03:47.We have a lot of evidence that there was a policy, an unwritten policy,

:03:48. > :03:52.that this was permissible. The key for us is to establish the criminal

:03:53. > :03:58.responsibility not of Daesh as a whole but individual leaders within

:03:59. > :04:01.Daesh. Tracing the leadership's involvement in sexual slavery has

:04:02. > :04:08.identified over 40 slave owners and 30 senior figures. Beneath the

:04:09. > :04:14.leader of the Islamic State are those believed responsible like this

:04:15. > :04:20.former schoolteacher. He is now believed killed. Still believed to

:04:21. > :04:30.be at large are the economic and finance emirs full stop -- economic

:04:31. > :04:35.and finance emirs. This investigator asked to Remain anonymous for his

:04:36. > :04:40.own safety. I asked him how optimistic he was but these men

:04:41. > :04:49.would face justice. Our focus is to ensure the failures of the past are

:04:50. > :04:53.not repeated. It is for that reason that we think first and foremost we

:04:54. > :05:01.need to do the job of evidence collecting while we can. Justice for

:05:02. > :05:06.the Yazidi people may be years away. There is no court to try their

:05:07. > :05:15.tormentors and some have already died. The investigators are adamant.

:05:16. > :05:24.Sooner or later, they say those who ordered the atrocity will be held to

:05:25. > :05:29.account. You don't need to go back too far to remember Hugo Chavez's

:05:30. > :05:37.Venezuela being hailed as a beacon of socialist success. Not any more.

:05:38. > :05:43.When oil prices started falling, money ran out. Inflation is running

:05:44. > :05:50.at nearly 500%. Vladimir Hernandez drop in Venezuela and has returned

:05:51. > :06:01.to find an economy in crisis. This is what a trip to the supermarket

:06:02. > :06:14.looks like in Venezuela. People tell us how angry they are, they've been

:06:15. > :06:24.here for more than 12 hours. We are surrounded by soldiers.

:06:25. > :06:30.Welcome to my country, Venezuela, a country of food queues that the

:06:31. > :06:51.government does not want us filming, in the grip of hunger. I'm heading

:06:52. > :06:53.out to the countryside. There is a roadblock ahead, people have started

:06:54. > :07:02.shouting and telling us they are hungry. They told me they've been

:07:03. > :07:21.protesting for three days with no government representative.

:07:22. > :07:32.The Venezuelan president faces an economic crisis unlike any they've

:07:33. > :07:35.seen before. His predecessor began the socialist state but it is

:07:36. > :07:44.failing, triggering massive food shortages. The president inherited

:07:45. > :07:50.the socialist experiment but not the high oil prices that finance that. A

:07:51. > :08:02.meal of plain rice. This man is blind and relies on

:08:03. > :08:29.government food aid. This woman is feeding her baby with

:08:30. > :08:36.water, she cannot produce breastmilk because she is too malnourished. She

:08:37. > :08:40.had eaten three times a day when she took this picture a year ago. Her

:08:41. > :09:03.other children play at cooking. There is some food on sale but most

:09:04. > :09:08.people cannot afford to buy it. Venezuela has the highest inflation

:09:09. > :09:17.in the world and it is hurting the poor hardest. The government has

:09:18. > :09:20.made some staples available at a lower price but there is not enough

:09:21. > :09:24.to go around. That is the supermarket and those queues of

:09:25. > :09:29.people who have been there since the early hours were told there was

:09:30. > :09:33.flour. These cues go around all the building, downstairs into the

:09:34. > :09:41.basement, then come up again until they are able to get into the

:09:42. > :09:46.supermarket to get slower. -- to get flour. The president took over when

:09:47. > :09:51.Hugo Chavez died three years ago. Its popularity has plunged as many

:09:52. > :09:55.Venezuelans blame the hunger on his economic mismanagement. The

:09:56. > :09:59.government says it is not to blame, that it is the victim of an economic

:10:00. > :10:00.war waged by speculators and foreign powers intent on regime change in

:10:01. > :10:18.Venezuela. This is where the Venezuelan

:10:19. > :10:22.government shows its military strength, with planes, tanks,

:10:23. > :10:24.missile launchers. This is a country in crisis but trying to show that

:10:25. > :10:43.they are still strong. The President's official term lasts

:10:44. > :10:46.until 2019. They are pushing for a referendum to remove him from office

:10:47. > :10:55.early but for now, the Venezuelans will need to wait in line. To China,

:10:56. > :10:59.where last year, more than 300 lawyers were rounded up in a major

:11:00. > :11:03.crackdown by the government. On Tuesday, the first of a number of

:11:04. > :11:07.trial took place and those in court were accused of subverting state

:11:08. > :11:11.power. There is particular concern that lawyers are being targeted in

:11:12. > :11:15.an attempt to discourage the political activities of those they

:11:16. > :11:21.represent. John Sutton worth was outside court in the north of the

:11:22. > :11:24.country. China's human rights crackdown finally reached court with

:11:25. > :11:31.official state media saying the trial would be open. Not to ask,

:11:32. > :11:39.though. We were told to stop filming. This man is a veteran human

:11:40. > :11:43.rights campaigner and one of around 20 activists and lawyers who has

:11:44. > :11:47.been detained since the sweeping crackdown last year. His suppose it

:11:48. > :11:51.can fashion has already been aired on state TV and today he was the

:11:52. > :12:01.first to be convicted. The charge is subversion. This woman is the wife

:12:02. > :12:04.of one of the human rights lawyers caught up in the crackdown.

:12:05. > :12:07.Relatives of the other defendants have been prevented from attending

:12:08. > :12:13.the trial and soon enough she too was sent away. A few hours later the

:12:14. > :12:14.BBC caught up with her back in Beijing along with her

:12:15. > :12:24.four-month-old baby. TRANSLATION: It was only after my

:12:25. > :12:29.husband was arrested that I realised I was pregnant. They haven't let me

:12:30. > :12:34.see him since, so he may not even know he has a new baby, a baby that

:12:35. > :12:42.misses him. I haven't named her yet. I want him to do that.

:12:43. > :12:46.This week, just before the trials began, Wong Yu, another prominent

:12:47. > :12:50.defence lawyer, was also paraded in front of the TV cameras. The main

:12:51. > :12:54.thrust of China's case is that she and her colleagues have used their

:12:55. > :13:03.human rights work to undermine the government, but China's critics see

:13:04. > :13:07.an ulterior motive. For many, -- for many outside of service, there is

:13:08. > :13:11.only one conclusion to be drawn from what happened inside this court, and

:13:12. > :13:15.that is that China is engaged in an effort to ratchet up repression, to

:13:16. > :13:24.rein in dissent and to cement 1-party rule. Today, she was handed

:13:25. > :13:28.a suspended sentence. Given that subversion carries a maximum of life

:13:29. > :13:31.in prison, the relative leniency might be a sign that China is paying

:13:32. > :13:40.some heed to the international concern.

:13:41. > :13:44.It is permanent, it is art and, in some cultures, it can be incredibly

:13:45. > :13:49.divisive. There have long been mixed views over getting a tattoo and in a

:13:50. > :13:53.Muslim country like Tunisia, the controversies are still there. But

:13:54. > :13:57.with the rise in demand for body art, the country has also seen a

:13:58. > :14:07.rise in tattoo artists challenging the status quo.

:14:08. > :14:10.This man did not think he would still be working from a small room

:14:11. > :14:15.in a beauty salon six years after he went into this business. He had a

:14:16. > :14:22.bigger dream but it nearly cost him his life. Shortly after he opened

:14:23. > :14:27.Tunisia's first licensed tattoo parlour in April, people condemned a

:14:28. > :14:32.logo he used for his business which resembled a Freemasons sign. This

:14:33. > :14:36.evolved into a hate campaign on social media, and then a gang of men

:14:37. > :15:07.ambushed him on a public street and beat him unconscious.

:15:08. > :15:14.Though unpopular with some, he still has clients on a near daily basis.

:15:15. > :15:21.Tunisians from all walks of life want to get ink these days and it's

:15:22. > :15:26.slowly breaking the taboo once attached to body art. But you can

:15:27. > :15:30.never be too old to be wary of your elders here. Before he started

:15:31. > :15:34.getting his tattoo, he told me this was a decision that was six years in

:15:35. > :15:43.the making, quite a big one because it is permanent, and he's getting a

:15:44. > :15:46.stop, record, play and pause to two. What are you going to tell your

:15:47. > :15:56.family? Because I understand they don't particularly know. I'm kind of

:15:57. > :16:01.relaxed with them. He is one of the -- this woman is one of the first

:16:02. > :16:05.few female tattoo artist in Tunisia. She sometimes works from this

:16:06. > :16:09.cultural cafe downtown but mostly does house calls for our clients.

:16:10. > :16:14.She tells me the public attitude towards tattoos has changed a lot

:16:15. > :16:21.since he was a teenager. Some just follow fashion, some traitor, well,

:16:22. > :16:29.come for personal reasons. -- some try to. And there's a lot of women

:16:30. > :16:35.who come to me and they want to get a tad too from a woman. Some still

:16:36. > :16:39.hide it. Even me, I still hide it. I'm a tattoo artist, I still hide it

:16:40. > :16:45.from my family. They know about it but they've never accepted it.

:16:46. > :16:48.Tunisians still face a combination of religious, social and cultural

:16:49. > :16:53.obstacles when it comes to body art, but perhaps the rise in demand for

:16:54. > :17:00.tattoos means that public perception is proving to be a bit less

:17:01. > :17:05.permanent than ink. Now, the countdown to Rio 2016 is

:17:06. > :17:10.over, the Olympics are underway. One country, though, that has never made

:17:11. > :17:14.much of an impact at the Games is India. But this year it has sent its

:17:15. > :17:19.largest ever team, more than 100 athletes. It is hoped they can help

:17:20. > :17:23.improve the country's terrible Olympic medal record. Its best ever

:17:24. > :17:28.achievement came in London 2012 with six medals. If you care -- compare

:17:29. > :17:33.that with their population, it is one medal for every 200 million

:17:34. > :17:38.people. Just row that has been examining why India is so bad at the

:17:39. > :17:43.Olympics. This is the fastest woman in India.

:17:44. > :17:53.And one of the country's best hopes for a medal in the most competitive

:17:54. > :17:56.or Olympic disciplines, athletics. TRANSLATION: We have never won a

:17:57. > :18:02.medal for running but with God 's grace I will get to the finals and

:18:03. > :18:17.win one. But you need more than just confidence to win an Olympic medal.

:18:18. > :18:22.As this man knows all too well. It is dangerous! He competes in Lodz. A

:18:23. > :18:26.winter sport. It is a type of superfast sledge but there are no

:18:27. > :18:32.tracks in India so he has no choice but to train on the open road. --

:18:33. > :18:39.luge. Like many Indian athletes, he says he just doesn't have the money

:18:40. > :18:42.he needs. At one couldn't sustain my career, I couldn't go for training

:18:43. > :18:48.or competition because I didn't have the money, so I started looking for

:18:49. > :18:53.sponsorship. And I actually went to 100 companies before one of them

:18:54. > :18:57.said yes. Even India's Olympic movement admits the country hasn't

:18:58. > :19:00.always done enough to support its athletes. It says the country is

:19:01. > :19:08.poor and sport isn't at the top of any's agenda. Sport has always taken

:19:09. > :19:12.a back-seat vis-a-vis education. Families tend to go for more

:19:13. > :19:17.education for their children, you know, go to school, concentrate on

:19:18. > :19:21.education, not sport. The basic feeling is that sport doesn't bring

:19:22. > :19:27.in the money required to run a family. India is investing more, but

:19:28. > :19:31.even that may not be enough. The caste system is also one of the

:19:32. > :19:37.reasons India hasn't done well in sport. You must remember the lower

:19:38. > :19:40.constitute the bulk of India's population and they are also the

:19:41. > :19:46.ones who are either ones who don't have access to education or good

:19:47. > :19:50.nutrition or health, which has meant a large part of India's population

:19:51. > :19:55.hasn't been able to take part in sports and hasn't had access to

:19:56. > :19:57.sporting facilities. But credit companies are stepping in,

:19:58. > :20:03.supporting underprivileged athletes like this. What we bring to the

:20:04. > :20:10.table for these athletes is the ability to bridge that gap between

:20:11. > :20:13.those test practices which are unavailable to them otherwise and

:20:14. > :20:19.the final performance at the Olympic Games. That's what we bring to the

:20:20. > :20:24.table. -- those best practices. We improve air conditioning, physical

:20:25. > :20:31.and mental, by leaps and bounds. -- of their physical conditioning. The

:20:32. > :20:35.world's second most populous country will be hoping to bring back its

:20:36. > :20:43.biggest ever medals haul as it sends its biggest ever team to Rio.

:20:44. > :20:47.Finally, it is 50 years since England won the football World Cup,

:20:48. > :20:50.but despite the expectations of millions of fans, the team have

:20:51. > :20:55.never come close to repeating the feat since. Allan Little looks back

:20:56. > :21:02.on that victory and what it reveals about the sort of nation England was

:21:03. > :21:08.in the summer of 1966. Why does this moment still resonates

:21:09. > :21:12.so powerfully in England's national memory? 50 years on, it looks like a

:21:13. > :21:15.moment of transition, from the monochrome grind of post-war

:21:16. > :21:19.recovery to the Technicolor explosion of 60s modernity. Post-war

:21:20. > :21:25.Britain was a country in retreat from global power. Internationally,

:21:26. > :21:31.there had been little cause to cheer. Football was about to change

:21:32. > :21:37.that. It is a different stadium now, mind, without the twin towers. They

:21:38. > :21:42.made a difference. Two brothers-in-law from Teesside walked

:21:43. > :21:45.down Wembley way after that match is -- half a century ago. What you

:21:46. > :21:53.think of mostly when you think of that match there? Just the elation.

:21:54. > :22:01.The success. The fact that we won. Yes, definitely. I came out one of

:22:02. > :22:04.the twin towers and slid down like a cartoon figure! Completely drained!

:22:05. > :22:11.And I thought, you know, what else can happen now? That's it! What have

:22:12. > :22:16.we achieved now? What have they achieved? They had reconnected with

:22:17. > :22:21.a bye then fading sense of British greatness, the idea that this was an

:22:22. > :22:25.exceptional nation. This replica of the original World Cup was used by

:22:26. > :22:28.the team during the victory celebrations in 1966. It is now in

:22:29. > :22:34.the national football Museum in Manchester. To my generation,

:22:35. > :22:38.children who grew up in the 1960s, the trophy was probably the most

:22:39. > :22:42.glamorous, most thrilling 12 inches of metal anywhere in the world.

:22:43. > :22:47.There was something almost mystical about the power of it. And five

:22:48. > :22:54.decades on, I can still feel it, even now. It seemed like we had done

:22:55. > :22:58.nothing but lose before. It was defeat after defeat, whether that

:22:59. > :23:03.had been out in the Empire getting reports from a or somewhere in

:23:04. > :23:09.Africa, Borneo or wherever. The British were on the retreat. In the

:23:10. > :23:14.went for football. The flags in the stadium that day were union flags,

:23:15. > :23:18.and English and British identity was still fused. But not for much

:23:19. > :23:22.longer. All the players were mostly working-class and live the same

:23:23. > :23:27.lines as those who cheered them from the stands. For this was the tail

:23:28. > :23:33.end of an older Britain. Not yet multicultural, not yet the age of

:23:34. > :23:38.the super-rich sporting celebrity. Geoff Hurst's third goal secured

:23:39. > :23:42.victory. The next day, he went home and moved his lawn. After his

:23:43. > :23:51.football career, he took a job selling insurance. Changed days.

:23:52. > :23:53.That is all from Reporters this week. From me and the team in

:23:54. > :24:16.London, goodbye for now. Hello. What a beautiful day for most

:24:17. > :24:19.of us with hardly a cloud in the sky, but there was a change to come.

:24:20. > :24:21.Someone warm sunshine will continue
