The world looks on this week at the desperation of civilians caught up | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
in the Civil War in Syria deepened. The ceasefire calls came and went, | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
the fighting deepened. Civilians without food were forced to cook | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
leaves on trees, doctors warned that if attacked and medical facilities | :02:41. | :02:42. | |
continue, they would be none left within a month. The city is split | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
between the rebel held east and the regime controlled West. Quentin | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
Sommerville has gained exclusive access to the homes of some | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
civilians and two fighters on the front line. | :02:55. | :02:54. | |
He sent this report. Can Aleppo still be called the City? | :02:55. | :03:10. | |
-- a city? In this neighbourhood, the shops and the factories are | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
gone. Here, there are only battlefields and front lines. | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
These rebels, along with jihadists, attack the regime's siege. They say | :03:21. | :03:29. | |
they have destroyed it. Thank God, says a fighter, we made it, we | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
stepped on you, and we took away your uniforms. | :03:35. | :03:41. | |

The UN wants a ceasefire for the The UN wants a ceasefire for the | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
city, but a rebel commander a spokesman remotely dismisses the | :04:52. | :04:53. | |
idea. TRANSLATION:, to be honest, this UN | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
stance is biased. When Aleppo was under siege, and the injuries and | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
wounds were becoming rotten because of the lack of medical care, and | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
people suffered from shortages, we did not hear anything from the UN. | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
We as military fighters only understand these calls for a | :05:10. | :05:11. | |
ceasefire by the UN to be nothing but to give a chance for the regime | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
to catch its breath after the big defeat they suffered in this battle. | :05:16. | :05:22. | |

they have regained control of this part of Aleppo, and claimed that | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
relief is at hand. Now you can see, the road is open. | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
Today, lots of cars managed to enter the city. Loaded by materials. The | :05:37. | :05:44. | |

concerns about the government crackdown that followed last month's | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
attempted coup. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said he would reprove | :06:14. | :06:15. | |

Our correspondent has talked to some of them. | :06:28. | :06:35. | |
They gave their summer hero's burial. But there was nothing | :06:36. | :06:47. | |
Turks, he was a traitor. He was Turks, he was a traitor. He was | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
killed taking part in last month's failed coup. He was a conscript and | :06:51. | :07:01. | |
worked in the Army canteen, but his family say he had no idea what he | :07:02. | :07:10. | |
was involved in. TRANSLATION: My son didn't know | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
anything about a coup. They woke him up in the night and told him there | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
was an operation on the Bosporus Bridge. Those commanders led my son | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
to death on purpose. This was the moment the soldiers on | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
the Bosphorus Bridge surrendered. Moments later, these pictures. This | :07:26. | :07:34. | |
footage shows his last moments. In the background, the voice says, | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
stop beating him. He is already dead. | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
TRANSLATION: My child was battered and murdered. He was covered in | :07:43. | :07:49. | |
blood. He was bleeding like a slaughtered cow. | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
But it was the civilians who died But it was the civilians who died | :07:53. | :07:59. | |
that were remembered. Hundreds of thousands of people, with one | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
message. The crowds here are chanting, | :08:04. | :08:17. | |
"Martyrs will never die. The country will be divided". And inside, there | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
was a clear display of national unity. Crowds never seen before, all | :08:23. | :08:30. | |
waving one flag, and mostly waiting for one man. If President Erdogan | :08:31. | :08:40. | |
had been shaken by last month's failed coup, you would not know it. | :08:41. | :08:47. | |
He calls the national unity, and said the people behind the crew were | :08:48. | :08:48. | |
terrorists. -- behind the coup. But that is not how this man is | :08:49. | :09:02. | |
remembered by his family. TRANSLATION: We have died 1000 | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
deaths. I have been crying ever since. This pain is killing me. I am | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
burning on the inside, and I hope whoever did this will burn like me. | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
In some ways, the coup has brought parts of Turkey together. But it has | :09:17. | :09:26. | |
also destroyed many lives. So, it is not a question of if but | :09:27. | :09:39. | |
when there will be another outbreak of a deadly disease like ebola in | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
Sierra Leone at some point. But two years since the World Health | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
Organisation declared the outbreak a global health emergency, the UN | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
agency says there are still major shortcomings, but the country's | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
health system is recovering. G Live is underreported from Sierra Leone | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
throw the epidemic. She has now returned to the capital Freetown to | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
see how the country's heart hospitals and health systems are | :10:05. | :10:06. | |
coping. It was once the jewel in the crown | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
of Britain's $500 million response of the Ebola outbreak. When I was | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
here during the peak of the epidemic, the UK built centre was a | :10:15. | :10:22. | |
buzzing lifeline to hundreds of people. Its first survivors were | :10:23. | :10:24. | |
18-year-old Daniel and his sister Cecilia. Their brother Ambrose did | :10:25. | :10:31. | |
not pull through, though. This is where he died. | :10:32. | :10:38. | |
In total, they lost 27 members of their family. Daniel had high hopes | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
for the site's future after the British government handed it back to | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
the Ministry of health. It is a suitable place where they | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
can establish a standard hospital that is available for the people | :10:53. | :10:59. | |
living in this area so they can have access to good medical care, and it | :11:00. | :11:06. | |
is a total mess to see it like this. The Ministry of health says it is | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
planning to build a maternity unit here, but we saw no work underway | :11:10. | :11:16. | |
yet at the decaying site. After almost two years and virtual | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
lockdown, Sierra Leone is back to its vibrant and bustling self. | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
I have returned to Freetown's main hospital. When I was here at the | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
heart of the outbreak, there were attempts either side of here, | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
dealing with the overflow of Ebola patients, and medics had to look | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
after people dressed in full while Hazard gear. This hospital has | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
received more than ?1 million from the British government, so I have | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
come back here to see how some of that money has been spent. The | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
unrecognisable. Before the outbreak, unrecognisable. Before the outbreak, | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
these sorts of modern and be looters were very rarely seen here. So this | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
was the red zone, wasn't it? That is right. | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
This is where you bowl a patient used to be cared for, but the | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
revamped wards, complete with new revamped wards, complete with new | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
oxygen supplies and heart monitors, and are providing emergency care. | :12:08. | :12:17. | |
I believe we would have lost more people without this, because the | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
services were not readily available. Obviously, ebola was a very | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
difficult time here, what I think that if there has been one big | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
change and one consequence of that, it has been a real focus on the | :12:30. | :12:32. | |
health care system. Daniel invited me back to see his | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
home. He's been staying on different friends' floors for nearly a year | :12:37. | :12:42. | |
now. His place is right next to his school. The charity Save The | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
Children is paying his fees here. He's studying hard to back into | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
medical school, inspired by the British medics who saved his life. | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
Going through this horrible situation has taught me a lot of | :12:56. | :13:05. | |
lessons, not devoting yourselves is one of the best things you can do. | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
With so few doctors in Sierra Leone, Daniel's ambition is crucial for his | :13:11. | :13:11. | |
country. China has warned that failure to go | :13:12. | :13:20. | |
ahead with the Hinkley Point nuclear-power station could threaten | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
Britain future's relationship with Beijing. The plant in Somerset is | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
due to be built with financial backing from the Chinese. China's | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
ambassador to the UK has warned that the British government's recent | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
decision to delay the deal has brought the two countries to a | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
crucial historical juncture. Here is an assessment of what the deal means | :13:42. | :13:43. | |
for UK- Chinese relations. China has its own version of | :13:44. | :13:54. | |
Valentines. Tonight is the night, a kissing competition. Not everyone is | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
in a loving mood. After working hard at their relationship, Beijing and | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
London have lost the magic. Is it just a lovers tiff, or wedding of? | :14:05. | :14:13. | |
Golden memories. It was only eight months ago that the Chinese | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
president was in London. His host couldn't have done more, but now, | :14:17. | :14:22. | |
David Cameron and George Osborne our history, and as for the shared | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
nuclear future they promised, well, what Beijing thought was a done deal | :14:28. | :14:34. | |
has now been delayed. Hinkley Point matters to China. With 30 | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
nuclear-power plants back home and many more on the way, Beijing's | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
looking for new markets to conquer, and where better than the UK? But | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
reports that security concerns may be behind this project's delay and | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
now damaging china's brand. The UK brand is under threat two. Post | :14:54. | :15:02. | |
Brexit Britney 's Chinese money even more than before. This investor | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
alone manages ?120 billion. London's still a magnet for his money, but | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
could Hinkley Point chill damage business? Yeah, absolutely. Purely | :15:12. | :15:16. | |
for security, national security concerns, then to put that on hold | :15:17. | :15:21. | |
is definitely going to affect the relationship between the UK and | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
China. I think people take that as an indication of how the integration | :15:27. | :15:34. | |
is going to be, so I think in talent to a certain degree, it is going to | :15:35. | :15:36. | |
affect our decision. Ultimately, the affect our decision. Ultimately, the | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
Chinese government can pull the plug on any deal. China's economic Midas | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
now so great that it can inflict real pain in countries that don't do | :15:47. | :15:49. | |
what it wants. It wants Hinkley Point. If London cancels the | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
project, make no mistake, Beijing will punish it by turning out the | :15:55. | :16:02. | |
lights and the Golden Age. But if the Hinkley Point deal does finally | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
go ahead as expected, the delay has soured the mood. | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
No flowers for London tonight, a Chinese valentine's to forget. | :16:12. | :16:17. | |
Now, you wouldn't normally associate killer whales with the menopause, | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
but British scientists have been studying them for the past 40 years | :16:23. | :16:25. | |
to understand the condition. Humans and killer whales are two of only | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
three species that are involved to stop having babies about halfway | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
through their lives. Victoria Gill joined researchers in a very unusual | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
whale watching trip. Visibly close family bonds, and these orcas have | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
something else in common with humans, something very rare. | :16:45. | :16:49. | |
Female killer whales go through a kind of menopause. So this team has | :16:50. | :16:56. | |
come to the Pacific coast to work out why any species should evolve to | :16:57. | :17:02. | |
stop reproducing so early in life. They will have their last calf in | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
their late 30s or 40s, but potentially can level until 80, 90, | :17:07. | :17:12. | |
or possibly the oldest estimate is 100 years. So our interest in this | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
from an evolutionary perspective, because that is really hard to | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
explain. Who just came up there? That is the four-year-old offspring. | :17:21. | :17:27. | |
While it is familiar to us, it is a phenomenon seen only in humans and | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
two marine mammal species. Even long live wild apes and elephants don't | :17:33. | :17:39. | |
go through this change. To study it, the scientists work with | :17:40. | :17:42. | |
conservationists here who have painstakingly documented the lives | :17:43. | :17:43. | |
of these orchids. -- orcas. This is of these orchids. -- orcas. This | :17:44. | :17:50. | |
a unique population of killer a unique population of killer | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
whales, in that they have been followed unmonitored, watched | :17:54. | :17:56. | |
closely for 40 years, and it is only all of that time that has made this | :17:57. | :17:59. | |
new research possible. There we go! | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
We take photographs and get individual pictures, identification | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
pictures, on everybody, and then we see who has new babies, and we see | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
who is missing, and we do this over and over overall the years, and we | :18:13. | :18:15. | |
have kept very good track of what the total population has. | :18:16. | :18:22. | |
This is what has given insight into the crucial role that females are | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
playing in their later, post-productive lives. | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
So we have got a mail here, and his mother is just close by, just here | :18:30. | :18:32. | |
in front of the boat. This is the kind of social | :18:33. | :18:35. | |
interaction? That is an adult male? And his mum, yes. Just the kind of | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
social interaction just didn't. Yes, just this kind of bond between | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
The centre's vast library of killer The centre's vast library of killer | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
whale data has allowed the team to reveal how menopause benefits this | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
species. They discovered that all the females leave their part as it | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
hunts, and adult sons depend on their postmenopausal mothers for | :18:58. | :19:03. | |
their very survival will. They keep the group alive, they help | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
support individuals, they survived for longer, and by unpicking the | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
importance of these killer whale, we can start to unravel business three | :19:12. | :19:14. | |
of the menopause. The team here will continue to watch | :19:15. | :19:17. | |

It is not easy to find humour in the news, but as everyone who is anyone | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
in the world of comedy has to Edinburgh for the French Festival | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
this year, they are making fun of the news. Given things like Brexit | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
and the other extraordinary news events of this year, comedians have | :19:45. | :19:46. | |
had no problems finding new material. | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
I'm not going to lie, this show was originally going to be about how we | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
have these turbulent times in politics, but in the end, sense | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
prevails, and thank God we stayed in the EU. | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
Right now, life is good for political satirists like Matt Forde. | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
That show ain't happening no more! There is a brand-new show ridden | :20:08. | :20:10. | |
since June 20 three. There is a seemingly endless supply | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
of new material on which to riff, and an audience eager for some | :20:16. | :20:24. | |
insight into worrying world. If you -- if you think about it, people are | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
going to be going to nosing homes a good three decades earlier because | :20:29. | :20:31. | |
of the referendum. There seems to be a distinctly political edge to this | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
year's fringe. I know there is racism, and people | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
are angry, but I take comfort in knowing that racist and not that | :20:40. | :20:40. | |
bright. Is it different this year? | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
It is, because so much has happened. If I go on and start at about my | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
moustache, everyone will start thinking, yes, fair enough, but what | :20:49. | :20:51. | |
do you think about this, and what you think about what is happening? | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
How does that affect you, because you are brown, UR woman, you are | :20:56. | :20:58. | |
I was in London, and they went down I was in London, and they went down | :20:59. | :21:01. | |
the street. This man in the street shouted at me, or a! You Pakki! Go | :21:02. | :21:07. | |
back to India! LAUGHTER | :21:08. | :21:08. | |
Brexit is a hot topic, as is Trump Brexit is a hot topic, as is Trump | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
I mean, I considered myself a I mean, I considered myself a | :21:14. | :21:16. | |
foreigner, obviously, but never an immigrant. | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
The idea behind the show came to me when I was asked to front a TV | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
programme called An Immigrant's Guide To Better, for immigrants and | :21:27. | :21:28. | |
by immigrants. I thought, I am not an immigrant! I | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
thought about it, and it is probably the lack of hardship in my story. | :21:33. | :21:36. | |
Like, I feel to qualify as an Like, I feel to qualify as an | :21:37. | :21:42. | |
immigrant, you have to have clung onto a banana boat, or hidden in the | :21:43. | :21:48. | |
back of a lorry at least for some of the journey. | :21:49. | :21:51. | |
LAUGHTER Taboos are being tackled as well. | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
Would you guys want to talk about? Isis?, really? This guy said to me | :21:56. | :22:02. | |
recently, you are Muslim, that mean you support Isis? | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
I said, I said, are you serious? Just because I'm Muslim doesn't mean | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
I support Isis, you idiot. I mean, some others like Al-Qaeda. There is | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
the Taliban... Ann Budge is altogether like that! | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
This take on Islamophobia is one of many examples at this year's French | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
for the public's appetite was in serious comedy. | :22:23. | :22:26. | |
Now, to undoubtedly the biggest event of the week now, the Olympics. | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
Every nation has their Olympic heroes, but for the host nation, | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
Brazil, there can be no one who has brought such joy as Raffaele | :22:36. | :22:40. | |
Sollecito is to take gold medal in judo marks a fairy tale rise from an | :22:41. | :22:48. | |
-- from a childhood in one of Rio's most terriers favelas. We have met | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
the Olympic champion who learn judo just so she could defend herself | :22:53. | :22:55. | |
growing up. Brazil's first gold medal in the Rio | :22:56. | :23:06. | |
Olympics, a lifetime achievement for the judoka Rafaela Silva. She came | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
from the favela, the City Of God, and rose to the top of the podium. | :23:11. | :23:14. | |
TRANSLATION: I lived in a very aggressive world. | :23:15. | :23:16. | |
The children couldn't play, and we had to rush home another there were | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
shoot outs. Now the girl who fled stray bullets is being chased for | :23:21. | :23:23. | |
photos and interviews. I think it is very important to show a detail from | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
a FibrLec and conquer the world. Rafaela won the women's 50 kilometre | :23:28. | :23:35. | |
final -- 50 kilograms final. Like, poor, woman. It is a highly symbolic | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
bigotry for Brazil. This is the home where she grew up, just outside the | :23:40. | :23:49. | |
City Of God. Her mother told me that she put her in judo as a little girl | :23:50. | :23:52. | |
because she was getting into fights in the streets. Now, her face is on | :23:53. | :23:55. | |
every newspaper and on the family T-shirts. In London 2012, her father | :23:56. | :24:03. | |
was disqualified early on, and suffered a wave of racist attacks. | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
She almost gave up her career. She proved to everyone that she | :24:09. | :24:15. | |
doesn't belong to anywhere other than the fight, fighting for her | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
goods and their will to win. A short drive away, this is | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
Rafaela's second home, her training centre, one of the judo schools run | :24:25. | :24:31. | |
by the Reaction Institute, an NGO that takes judo to poor children | :24:32. | :24:35. | |
from Rio's favelas. Here, her victory is shared by | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
everyone. We are very proud, because it is someone who came from the same | :24:41. | :24:43. | |
place we did, so then you think, wow, I can get there as well. | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
Rafaela says she has no idea where she would be if it were not for this | :24:48. | :24:53. | |
judo school. TRANSLATION: The goal isn't just to | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
develop high-performance athlete, but also to educate citizens. The | :24:57. | :25:01. | |
children have access to scholarships and better education through sport. | :25:02. | :25:04. | |
The teachers don't just demand a good performance in judo, but also | :25:05. | :25:08. | |
important. With other scepticism important. With other scepticism | :25:09. | :25:16. | |
ahead of the Rio Olympics, Rafaela's story has ignited Brazilian pride | :25:17. | :25:19. | |
and will inspire many children like air for years to come. | :25:20. | :25:28. | |
-- children like her. The inspiring story of Rafaela Silva. | :25:29. | :25:31. | |
And that is all from Reporters this week. From me and the whole team | :25:32. | :25:33. | |
here in London, goodbye for now. | :25:34. | :25:37. |
