bring you the best stories across the globe. | :00:22. | :00:30. | |
In this week's programme, the shocking human cost | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
Fergal Keane reports on one of the Arab world's | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
poorest countries where 7 million people are facing famine. | :00:37. | :00:38. | |
There are several causes of this war. | :00:39. | :00:40. | |
But there's only one consequence - death and | :00:41. | :00:52. | |
Coming home to Aleppo as Syrian Government | :00:53. | :00:58. | |
forces retake parts of the | :00:59. | :01:00. | |
city our correspondent meets families loyal | :01:01. | :01:01. | |
to President Assad who are now | :01:02. | :01:03. | |
Even though this war seems to be coming | :01:04. | :01:10. | |
to an end, in some places Syrians know just how hard it will be to | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
so-called Islamic State out of Mosul by any means necessary. | :01:15. | :01:30. | |
Our reporter reports from Rome on political and economic | :01:31. | :01:39. | |
turmoil following the Prime Minister's referendum defeat. | :01:40. | :01:49. | |
John Maguire catches up on the first woman to cross the English Channel | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
Once the cliffs get bigger it was just easy. | :01:55. | :02:09. | |
We start with powerful new evidence of the | :02:10. | :02:11. | |
suffering in Yemen one of the Arab world poorest countries where a | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
civil war is having devastating human consequences. | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
More than 7000 people have been killed in fighting, | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
the majority in air strikes by Saudi-led forces. | :02:21. | :02:29. | |
According to the UN an estimated 14 million | :02:30. | :02:31. | |
are at risk of hunger, half | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
Our reporting team has travelled to one of the worst affected areas. | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
The report contains distressing images. | :02:41. | :02:41. | |
Along roads where death can descend at any time, | :02:42. | :02:56. | |
This is the story of a journey into a | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
It will reveal images of child suffering that are | :03:02. | :03:12. | |
not easy to look at, but without which we cannot | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
comprehend the cost of | :03:16. | :03:16. | |
She has been fighting to survive since the day she was born. | :03:17. | :03:36. | |
10,000 children have died from preventable diseases. | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
Half a million are severely malnourished. | :03:43. | :03:53. | |
This is one of the few who make it to | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
Half the health facilities no longer function. | :03:57. | :04:09. | |
limits the services we can provide, the doctor tells me. | :04:10. | :04:21. | |
We hope we get support from international aid to | :04:22. | :04:23. | |
Child malnutrition has jumped 200% in two | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
Before the war Yemen imported 90% of staple food. | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
God will punish the bombers, this man says. | :04:31. | :04:39. | |
The bridge was hit just two weeks ago. | :04:40. | :04:46. | |
Civilians and food trucks use the same roads as soldiers. | :04:47. | :05:00. | |
In the rural areas, farthest from aid, | :05:01. | :05:02. | |
In this village medics from save the children battle to help. | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
In another, people brought their sick infants to | :05:09. | :05:10. | |
The old man and his hungry grandchildren. | :05:11. | :05:18. | |
This child is nine months old, sick from liver problems | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
He died of malnutrition five months ago. | :05:22. | :05:29. | |
Their mother has no money for medicine. | :05:30. | :05:31. | |
What do you want to happen for this child, | :05:32. | :05:33. | |
It was becoming a journey deeper into crisis. | :05:34. | :05:46. | |
3 million people have been displaced. | :05:47. | :06:00. | |
In this camp, 17,000 people endure the waterless plain. | :06:01. | :06:02. | |
We were approached by pleading voices again. | :06:03. | :06:04. | |
This man brought his malnourished disabled | :06:05. | :06:05. | |
You walked up to us too show the child, why did you come to | :06:06. | :06:15. | |
There is no money to get him to hospital. | :06:16. | :06:38. | |
What the war takes away nobody can give | :06:39. | :06:40. | |
This child aged three and a half was the only survivor of an air | :06:41. | :06:51. | |
strike that killed his parents and 24 members | :06:52. | :06:53. | |
This person who had already fled came | :06:54. | :07:02. | |
Coalition bombing and import restrictions | :07:03. | :07:22. | |
The rebels frequently delaye aid getting | :07:23. | :07:33. | |
through because they seek to control distribution. | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
Just half the international funding promised has | :07:38. | :07:38. | |
This is a crisis that we just don't recognise and it | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
will come back to haunt us because the consequences of our | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
indifference, the consequences of what we are not doing here, will | :07:46. | :07:47. | |
At the same time we cannot deal with what is going on | :07:48. | :08:00. | |
because the numbers are so massive, resources are so little, the | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
It all leads back inevitably to this. | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
His twin brother died soon after he was born. | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
He seems impossibly fragile but fights | :08:15. | :08:16. | |
There are several causes of this war. | :08:17. | :08:18. | |
Battle between regional powers, fighting between local | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
factions, but there's only one consequence. | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
Death and the destruction of people's livelihood. | :08:26. | :08:38. | |
And an image like that of this baby, no matter how many wars you've | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
With energy only for that most universal of | :08:43. | :08:49. | |
This is what it means to be forgotten by the world. | :08:50. | :09:00. | |
Pressure is also growing at the UN for a new | :09:01. | :09:02. | |
ceasefire in Syria to help the tens of thousands trapped by the conflict | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
Fighting intensified this week in Eastern Aleppo as government | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
forces retook the historic old city from the rebels. | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
As more districts are being seized, families loyal to | :09:15. | :09:16. | |
President Assad are returning to their homes after years of war. | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
Our reporter has been to meet some of them. | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
One week ago these neighbourhoods were seized back from | :09:26. | :09:53. | |
For this family it is a victory parade. | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
I kiss your soil, Syria, I kneel before you, | :10:00. | :10:01. | |
they are loyal to their president, now they feel they owe him | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
Soldiers joined the celebration at their front door. | :10:05. | :10:13. | |
Our kitchen was amazing, she tells me. | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
It was the envy of the neighbourhood. | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
I was born here, raised here, but now we are back, | :10:23. | :10:33. | |
Her father tells me they had felt threatened here. | :10:34. | :10:41. | |
Most people supported the rebels then. | :10:42. | :10:49. | |
Just across the way we meet a family who | :10:50. | :10:56. | |
chose to stay when the rebels took over four years ago. | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
We have a saying here, if a man uproots himself, he is nothing. | :11:02. | :11:20. | |
The idea of leaving and being a refugee in my | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
We had no electricity, she says, no water, no bread. | :11:25. | :11:37. | |
These teenagers show me their vegetable patch. | :11:38. | :11:39. | |
It helped them through an army siege and rebel hoarding. | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
It wasn't much but better than nothing. | :11:44. | :11:44. | |
When the army moved in everyone was taken | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
This is what happened to their home when they | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
They can't say for sure who or what caused it. | :11:51. | :11:57. | |
A cruel blow after surviving four years of war. | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
And that war goes on in neighbouring districts. | :12:01. | :12:02. | |
The stories we heard here in this one | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
neighbourhood are stories you hear across Syria. | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
People returning to their homes to their old lives and | :12:12. | :12:13. | |
But even though this war seems to be coming to an end, in | :12:14. | :12:21. | |
some places, Syrians know just how hard it will be to live together | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
Around the area, street after street of utter ruin, proof of | :12:26. | :12:38. | |
the ferocity of the battle that has been, of how much is now gone. | :12:39. | :12:41. | |
The battle to drive so-called Islamic | :12:42. | :12:54. | |
State from the Iraqi city of Mosul is now in its sixth week. | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
As fighting continues concerns have been raised that involvement of Shia | :13:00. | :13:05. | |
militias - they have been accused of sectarian killings in the past. | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
The Iraqi parliament recently voted to legalise them, heightening fears | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
amongst minorities of revenge attacks. | :13:13. | :13:19. | |
Paramilitaries have been fighting West of the city of Mosul. | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
Our reporter joined them on the front line. | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
It is not the Iraqi flag planted here but the banner of a | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
coalition of mostly Shia paramilitaries backed by Iran. | :13:31. | :13:32. | |
This is the terrain of the popular mobilisation units. | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
Newly integrated into Iraq's official armed forces in | :13:39. | :13:40. | |
spite of serious human rights concerns. | :13:41. | :13:47. | |
They have been taking territory West of Mosul. | :13:48. | :13:49. | |
Cutting off escape routes for the Sunni | :13:50. | :13:51. | |
This road is or was a key route for Islamic State. | :13:52. | :13:58. | |
If we go over here the road leads to the Syrian | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
border and all the way to | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
the city of Raqqa, the self-declared capital of IS. | :14:09. | :14:10. | |
Fighters and weapons have been able to go in both | :14:11. | :14:12. | |
This route is now under the control of Shia | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
They have been doing battle outside urban areas. | :14:18. | :14:35. | |
The Iraqi Government has promised he won't enter Mosul, a mainly | :14:36. | :14:38. | |
Sunni city, where some feared them more than IS. | :14:39. | :14:41. | |
Human rights groups accuse them of abducting and killing | :14:42. | :14:43. | |
Sunni civilians during previous campaigns against the militants. | :14:44. | :14:45. | |
Let us talk about big armies in the world, the great | :14:46. | :14:56. | |
If there is someone who did a mistake, | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
they will face the judge and he will go to jail. | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
Sunni civilians may not be very reassured by that as the | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
We watched them closing in on IS targets in | :15:07. | :15:16. | |
A few hours into the attack, a pause for prayer. | :15:17. | :15:23. | |
By noon the enemy have already dispatched | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
On the high ground the commander called for an all | :15:28. | :15:38. | |
Human rights groups and the US and British governments will | :15:39. | :16:09. | |
be watching carefully to see where the Shia militias direct their | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
If the battle against IS is tinged with | :16:13. | :16:29. | |
sectarian hatred and revenge it will threaten the future of Iraq. | :16:30. | :16:37. | |
David Cameron could have told Italy's | :16:38. | :16:44. | |
to stake your career on the | :16:45. | :16:53. | |
result of a referendum but Matteo Renzi handed | :16:54. | :17:01. | |
Italians rejected his plans for constitutional reform. | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
Voters across Europe including Austria has shaken | :17:06. | :17:07. | |
up the system this year sending politicians a message. | :17:08. | :17:16. | |
As our correspondent reports, the referendum result has sent Italy | :17:17. | :17:18. | |
The reaction was instinctive if not entirely tuneful. | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
As soon as they knew they had won last night | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
victorious no voters demanded the resignation | :17:28. | :17:30. | |
The first Italian premier, he claims, to take political | :17:31. | :17:36. | |
I lost and I say loud and clear I was not | :17:37. | :17:43. | |
Long live Italy and good luck to all of us. | :17:44. | :17:48. | |
This evening Matteo Renzi drove to meet Italy's | :17:49. | :18:00. | |
He'll stay on for at least a week until the annual budget is passed | :18:01. | :18:15. | |
Cabinet members seemed a little dazed by it all. | :18:16. | :18:24. | |
TRANSLATION: How could we stay with this government in this format? | :18:25. | :18:27. | |
It is an inelegant end to a premiership | :18:28. | :18:28. | |
that began with such promise and so many promises. | :18:29. | :18:40. | |
Renzi, the self-styled reformer, claimed to change | :18:41. | :18:42. | |
Italy, its sluggish economy and chaotic politics. | :18:43. | :18:43. | |
Last month he was invited by President Obama to be | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
I think Matteo embodies a new generation of leadership not just | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
In fact hobnobbing with the great and | :18:51. | :18:56. | |
the privileged abroad helped cement opposition to Mr Renzi at home | :18:57. | :18:59. | |
amongst hard up Italians unhappy with their lot. | :19:00. | :19:01. | |
When we took to the streets of Rome referendum no voters | :19:02. | :19:04. | |
told us they had rejected their Prime Minister, not just his | :19:05. | :19:06. | |
Music to the ears of Mr Renzi's political rivals, the | :19:07. | :19:19. | |
popular and populist Five Star movement. | :19:20. | :19:22. | |
Now we are asking for the election as soon as possible. | :19:23. | :19:25. | |
Is this the beginning of a new era in | :19:26. | :19:27. | |
All this political turmoil, front-page | :19:28. | :19:34. | |
But here in Bella Roma, Italy's beating | :19:35. | :19:44. | |
political heart, it is business as usual, | :19:45. | :19:45. | |
that is because Italians are | :19:46. | :19:47. | |
They have had 63 of them since the end of the Second World War. | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
That is four times as many as we have had in | :19:52. | :19:54. | |
So Italy is used to muddling through. | :19:55. | :19:56. | |
But of course this country does not exist in a vacuum. | :19:57. | :19:59. | |
It is a key EU player and the third largest | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
So whatever is happening here has a big | :20:03. | :20:08. | |
And a crisis is looming in Italy's banks, especially | :20:09. | :20:15. | |
Bank failures would hit hard here and abroad. | :20:16. | :20:26. | |
In Italy, looking good on the outside is | :20:27. | :20:28. | |
But scratch the beautiful surface and you will see problems | :20:29. | :20:34. | |
weighing down Italians and worrying their European neighbours. | :20:35. | :20:42. | |
One woman, 7000 kilometres, all by paramotor. | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
Quite a journey for this conservationist. | :20:47. | :20:54. | |
She has become the first woman to complete the epic journey. It is all | :20:55. | :21:01. | |
part of her journey to track the migration of swans from Russia to | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
England. Our correspondent caught up with her. | :21:07. | :21:13. | |
The human sworn, crossing the English Channel will mean her | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
expedition is over, but this is her most challenging site. For the last | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
three months her expedition has followed the migratory route of the | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
swans from their bleeding ground in Russia to the River Severn -- from | :21:27. | :21:43. | |
their breeding ground. Her mission is to persuade people not to hunt | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
the birds. Now her consideration is to get safely | :21:48. | :21:59. | |
from Calais to Dover. It might be different there. We will not know | :22:00. | :22:06. | |
exactly what conditions are like until we get there. The exhibition | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
has not been without its setbacks. She injured her knee and had to | :22:11. | :22:20. | |
adapt her paramotor. After 7000 kilometres, several weeks | :22:21. | :22:22. | |
flying all the way down from northern Russia, this is the very | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
last bit, the last obstacle, perhaps the biggest, crossing the Channel, a | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
huge expanse of water, the biggest shipping lanes in the world. Perhaps | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
the final challenge this expedition. We are going to fly alongside her. | :22:37. | :22:44. | |
This pilot explains fight this leg of the journey, although just 20 | :22:45. | :22:49. | |
miles long, is so risky. All pilots have a fear of going across a long | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
bit of water because in December you would not have long to be rescued | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
because you would suffer from hypothermia very quickly. The | :23:00. | :23:05. | |
conditions are ideal. We leave the safety of France, the solid ground, | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
and head out over the water. As we climb above 2500 feet, the white | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
cliffs, tinted schools by the early morning sun, seem enticingly close, | :23:16. | :23:21. | |
that they are along way off. After 40 minutes the cliffs are no longer | :23:22. | :23:25. | |
ahead, they are below, and she has made it, the first woman to cross | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
the Channel in a paramotor. She is back home. It was nice. | :23:31. | :23:36. | |
Nerve-wracking in the middle bit where water is the only option for | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
landing, but, yes, once the cliffs gets bigger, it was easy sailing | :23:41. | :23:48. | |
from there. The number of swans making this perilous annual odyssey | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
has fallen from 29,000 to around 18,000 in recent years. The | :23:54. | :23:56. | |
achievement has been made possible because of all the professionalism, | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
teamwork and modern technology. The swans just have instinct to rely on. | :24:02. | :24:09. | |
To be able to add the first person, or first sworn, view of the | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
migration, makes a difference. Tracking this ones with radio | :24:14. | :24:18. | |
collars and flying as they do the expedition has already learned so | :24:19. | :24:23. | |
much about the threats face. This human sworn has done her bits to | :24:24. | :24:31. | |
protect her feathered friends. That is all for this week. From B | :24:32. | :24:41. | |
and the entire team, goodbye. -- from me and the entire team. | :24:42. | :24:46. |
