0:00:01 > 0:00:10Now on BBC News - it's time for Reporters.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18Welcome to Reporters.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20I'm Philippa Thomas at the BBC's headquarters
0:00:20 > 0:00:23here in London.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25In this special edition of the programme, we're
0:00:25 > 0:00:28looking back at some of the best reports from this year from our
0:00:28 > 0:00:30network of correspondents around the world.
0:00:30 > 0:00:35Coming up...
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Stand off in the skies above the South China Seas.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40Rupert Wingfield-Hayes flies over one of the most
0:00:40 > 0:00:43contested areas in the world, incurring the wrath
0:00:43 > 0:00:46of the Chinese.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Our captain responded saying we're a civilian aircraft, not a military
0:00:49 > 0:00:50aircraft.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52It didn't make any difference whatsoever.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54They just repeated that threat, we must leave
0:00:54 > 0:00:58the area, over and over again.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Tiny victims of Yemen's forgotten war.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Nawal Al-Maghafi finds starving children in desperate need of aid.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08A slight fever and diarrhoea.
0:01:08 > 0:01:14Because they didn't have his medicine, he passed away.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16We've just arrived in what's called the Prom Zone.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Under fire on Ukraine's line.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Tom Burridge and his team reach one of the conflict's most volatile
0:01:21 > 0:01:23hotspots, where the fragile ceasefire has collapsed.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27Make no mistakes.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31It cost you your life, literally.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34Ian Panell reports from Barack Obama's hometown and finds
0:01:34 > 0:01:38gun crime is out of control.
0:01:38 > 0:01:44And battle of the sexes.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Sahar Zand meets the Moroccan warrior women taking on and
0:01:46 > 0:01:50beating the Berber men of North Africa at their own game.
0:01:50 > 0:01:55GUNSHOT
0:01:55 > 0:01:57The BBC went to extraordinary lengths this
0:01:57 > 0:02:00year to get a rare glimpse of China's determined
0:02:00 > 0:02:03expansion in the South China Sea, one of the most contested areas
0:02:03 > 0:02:09anywhere in the world.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Beijing is building huge artificial islands on
0:02:12 > 0:02:14the Spratly Island chain, which the Americans and others
0:02:14 > 0:02:16insist are illegal.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18The area is difficult to get to.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Rupert Wingfield-Hayes flew in a small, civilian aircraft into
0:02:20 > 0:02:22China's self-declared security zone 200 kilometres off
0:02:22 > 0:02:23the coast of the Philippines.
0:02:23 > 0:02:33This is what he found.
0:02:35 > 0:02:36COCKEREL CROWS
0:02:36 > 0:02:39It's just before dawn on the Philippine island of Palawan.
0:02:39 > 0:02:48Even at this hour, it's hot, but there's
0:02:48 > 0:02:51no sign here of the trouble brewing a few hundred miles out to sea.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54I'm about to take off on a trip the Chinese government
0:02:54 > 0:02:57has tried to stop.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01As we roll down the runway, we're all tense.
0:03:01 > 0:03:07No-one has tried what we're about to do.
0:03:07 > 0:03:08We're now heading south-west towards a
0:03:08 > 0:03:11number of Chinese-controlled atolls.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13These are places where the Chinese have been doing massive land
0:03:13 > 0:03:16reclamation over the last year and a half.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20We want to go for two reasons, one to see what the Chinese
0:03:20 > 0:03:23are doing and, secondly, to test, see if the Chinese will try to stop
0:03:23 > 0:03:26us.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Because the whole of this area is, according to most countries,
0:03:28 > 0:03:33international airspace.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Just 140 nautical miles from the Philippine
0:03:35 > 0:03:39coast, we spot new land.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42This place is called Mischief Reef.
0:03:42 > 0:03:47Until a year ago, there was nothing here, just a submerged atoll.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Now, look at it!
0:03:49 > 0:03:52Millions of tonnes of material have been dredged up to build this huge,
0:03:52 > 0:03:56new island.
0:03:56 > 0:04:01As we close to 12 nautical miles, this.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Down below, we can see a pair of Chinese Navy ships.
0:04:19 > 0:04:20Our pilots are nervous.
0:04:20 > 0:04:25They want to turn away.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28We are a civilian aircraft flying over international
0:04:28 > 0:04:38waters and yet we are being repeatedly threatened.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40What we get is the Chinese sending out that message.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Foreign military aircraft, unidentified aircraft, leave this
0:04:42 > 0:04:44area immediately.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Chinese and in English.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Our captain responded saying we are a civilian aircraft,
0:04:48 > 0:04:51not a military aircraft.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53It didn't make any difference whatsoever.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55They just repeated that threat, we must
0:04:55 > 0:04:59leave the area, over and over again.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03Immediately.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05As we fly on, the full extent of the construction is revealed.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08The lagoon is teeming with ships.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12A cement plant is visible on the new land.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15And then, for the first time, a clear view of the new
0:05:15 > 0:05:18runway China is building here.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22A Chinese fighter taking off from here
0:05:22 > 0:05:24could reach the Philippine coast in nine minutes.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26In the last year, China has built at least seven new
0:05:26 > 0:05:30islands and three new runways in the South China Sea.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33One here at Mischief Reef, another at Subi Reef,
0:05:33 > 0:05:37and the biggest of all at Fiery Cross.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39The aim is to reinforce China's claim to the whole of the
0:05:39 > 0:05:48South China Sea.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51America and its allies are now responding.
0:05:51 > 0:05:57Over the radio, we now hear one of them.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07What we are hearing is an Australian military aircraft asserting
0:06:07 > 0:06:14freedom of passage.
0:06:14 > 0:06:20More than 40% of the world's trade passes through the waters below us.
0:06:20 > 0:06:25China is determined to assert its control.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29America and its allies say they won't let that happen.
0:06:29 > 0:06:34As we have found out, it may already be too late.
0:06:34 > 0:06:39Rupert Wingfield-Hayes, BBC News, in the South China Sea.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41From the conflict in Syria to what is seen as the
0:06:41 > 0:06:44forgotten war in Yemen.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46The fighting there has pushed one of the poorest
0:06:46 > 0:06:51countries in the Middle East to the brink of famine.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Threatening the lives of millions of people.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55More than 7000 have been killed in a conflict
0:06:55 > 0:06:57between the country's Huthi rebels, who overthrew the
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Government last year, and a Saudi-led coalition backed
0:06:59 > 0:07:04by Britain and the US.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07This has left about 7 million people on the brink of famine.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Many of them, children.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Again, a warning, Nawal Al-Maghafi's report contains some
0:07:12 > 0:07:18distressing images from the start.
0:07:18 > 0:07:25In the villages of Yemen, it is the children who suffer most.
0:07:25 > 0:07:33Wherever you go, you can see the human cost of this war.
0:07:33 > 0:07:38Seven-month-old Fatima is weak and severely malnourished.
0:07:38 > 0:07:43She is one of hundreds in this area alone.
0:07:43 > 0:07:48Her mother, Sara, tells me she won't stop crying.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52It breaks my heart, she says.
0:07:52 > 0:07:57The only thing Sara can offer her child is water.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59She is so malnourished herself she is unable
0:07:59 > 0:08:02to breast-feed.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06Dr Ashwaq Muharram took me from village to village.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Each time we saw the same thing.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Yemen has always been desperately poor.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14The war has made things worse.
0:08:14 > 0:08:20It is not just the villages that are struggling.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23This war has forced 600 hospitals to close down.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Lack of supplies has pushed this central
0:08:25 > 0:08:31hospital to the brink.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35Children are the most affected by malnutrition.
0:08:35 > 0:08:44Here, hunger has left 1.5 million children starving.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47This is a four-year-old child.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49His grandfather brought him here with
0:08:49 > 0:08:52fever and diarrhoea.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Malnutrition has meant his immune system is not
0:08:54 > 0:08:59able to fight a simple infection.
0:08:59 > 0:09:00Severe shortage of medicine means the antibiotic
0:09:00 > 0:09:06he needs is not available.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08TRANSLATION: The antibiotics we have will not treat
0:09:08 > 0:09:12the type of bacteria he is suffering from.
0:09:12 > 0:09:18All we can do is provide health care with the supplies we have.
0:09:18 > 0:09:27The hospital is overwhelmed with children.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30In some cases, malnutrition has turned into outright starvation.
0:09:30 > 0:09:35Salim is eight years old.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Once able to play and talk to his brothers and sisters,
0:09:38 > 0:09:41his mother says, although he is alive, it is as if he is no
0:09:41 > 0:09:48longer here.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50TRANSLATION: I never imagined I would ever see
0:09:50 > 0:09:54a child like this in Yemen.
0:09:54 > 0:09:55This boy is starving.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59It scares me that it may be the beginning of a famine.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01The four-year-old's grandfather tells us his condition has taken
0:10:02 > 0:10:12a turn for the worse.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27He just had fever and diarrhoea.
0:10:27 > 0:10:37Because they do not have his medicine, he passed away.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43Back in the village, Ashwaq has some good news.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45After six days of phone calls and negotiations, Ashwaq
0:10:45 > 0:10:51managed to import his life-saving milk.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53TRANSLATION: You have made me so happy and filled our
0:10:53 > 0:10:56home with happiness.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59I hope I can do the same for you.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Poverty has always affected Yemen but now there's a risk of losing
0:11:02 > 0:11:06an entire generation.
0:11:06 > 0:11:14Nawal Al-Maghafi, BBC News, Hudaydah, Yemen.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16From Yemen's forgotten war to what has become Europe's
0:11:16 > 0:11:17forgotten conflict in Ukraine.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Tensions escalated there as Europe struggled over whether to
0:11:19 > 0:11:21maintain sanctions on Russia, following its military intervention
0:11:21 > 0:11:27in the region.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30At the height of the crisis, Tom Burridge and his team
0:11:30 > 0:11:32travelled with the Ukrainian military to one of the most volatile
0:11:32 > 0:11:37parts of the front line on the edge of the town of Adivka.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40He sent us this report.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Venture into this industrial area, known as the Prom Zone, on the
0:11:43 > 0:11:46edge of a small Ukrainian city, and this is the reality almost every
0:11:46 > 0:11:55night.
0:11:55 > 0:11:56It is really close.
0:11:56 > 0:11:57Go towards that wall.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59OK, so we've literally just arrived in what's
0:11:59 > 0:12:02called the Prom Zone.
0:12:02 > 0:12:07You can tell why they call it hot.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11This perpetual war zone has been largely forgotten.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14After two and a bit years, and countless diplomatic
0:12:14 > 0:12:23meetings, Russia and the West have failed to deliver peace.
0:12:23 > 0:12:29Lethal warfare here sometimes feels mundane and monotonous.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32So, five, maybe ten minutes after we arrived here in the
0:12:32 > 0:12:37so-called Prom Zone, and sniper fire, the crack of machine guns,
0:12:37 > 0:12:39the soldiers here say probably RPGs, rocket-propelled grenades.
0:12:39 > 0:12:49Essentially, it is welcome to the Prom Zone.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Our walk through the industrial zone feels
0:12:52 > 0:12:57like it will never end.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59The soldier we're with chooses to walk but I prefer
0:13:00 > 0:13:01to run right now.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Just right out in the open.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06We made it.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08That was intense.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11We reach a building where we will spend the night.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Fighting these Ukrainian troops is a militia which
0:13:13 > 0:13:21controls two tiny, unrecognised Russian-backed republics.
0:13:21 > 0:13:2521-year-old Dema says he will die for land
0:13:25 > 0:13:29which he says is part of Ukraine.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55The next day, on a hillside near by, we are shown the Ukrainian
0:13:55 > 0:13:57military's defences.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59This impressive network of trenches speaks of how
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Ukraine has been digging in for months.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04The country hasn't lost territory to the rebels in well over a year.
0:14:04 > 0:14:11For that, Ukraine can claim some success.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15Any success has come at a cost.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19In Adivka, the front line town held by Ukraine, we meet Victor.
0:14:19 > 0:14:28His wife was killed and his grandson disabled, both by shelling.
0:14:34 > 0:14:35Eastern Ukraine is a deprived region,
0:14:35 > 0:14:42invisible are bitter divisions.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44The conflict has become one of attrition, which world
0:14:44 > 0:14:46powers have been unable, or unwilling, to end.
0:14:46 > 0:14:51Tom Burridge, BBC News, in Adivka, eastern Ukraine.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Now to evidence of a startling rise in
0:14:53 > 0:14:56levels of gun violence in parts of the United States, including
0:14:56 > 0:15:01President Obama's political home, Chicago.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Killings in the city have reached a 20-year high.
0:15:03 > 0:15:10A deadly summer of violence brought this year's death toll to 500.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Most of the victims and their killers are young, black men.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Ian Pannell and cameraman Darren Conway spent a week in
0:15:16 > 0:15:21Chicago and found a world where gangs and guns rule.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25Here, in my neighbourhood, they start young, man.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28When you read the news headlines, that's the age frame they are dying
0:15:29 > 0:15:29from gun battles.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33We've got to teach the kids how to defend themselves.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36It is senseless violence at the end of the day but it is like,
0:15:36 > 0:15:39what do you do when you're caught in that moment?
0:15:39 > 0:15:42You'd rather be caught with protection than without protection.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45I've never seen so many guns.
0:15:45 > 0:15:46Like, we had a lot of guns.
0:15:46 > 0:15:53But, I've never seen so many guns like now.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57Bodiel is a rapper from the west side, now the most violent part of
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Chicago.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02He is in the Vice Lords Gang.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05He's been in prison and even he's shocked by what's happening.
0:16:05 > 0:16:11It's like somebody dropped off crates of guns in everybody's hood.
0:16:11 > 0:16:16It seemed like it was designed to lose.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19I think a lot of guys need to die in order to
0:16:19 > 0:16:20make it better.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23I think some of these BEEP need to get killed and get
0:16:23 > 0:16:27knocked off and get them out of the way to make it a better place
0:16:27 > 0:16:31because some of them...
0:16:31 > 0:16:33We've been stood here for five minutes.
0:16:33 > 0:16:38I've seen two police cars, one ambulance go by.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41It ain't safe over here at all.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44Suddenly we were told to leave the area as Bodiel
0:16:44 > 0:16:50and his gang sped off.
0:16:50 > 0:16:51Hello.
0:16:51 > 0:16:52Hey, what just happened?
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Why did we have to leave so quickly?
0:16:54 > 0:16:55Because there's a war.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57The two gangs around as.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59That's why so many people get shot in the area.
0:16:59 > 0:17:05Sombody got shot a couple of blocks up.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07More people have been killed here since
0:17:07 > 0:17:092001 than US deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan combined.
0:17:09 > 0:17:10And yet, there's almost no outcry.
0:17:10 > 0:17:19Do you worry about your kids?
0:17:19 > 0:17:20I do.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22To be honest, I've got a son that's seven and
0:17:22 > 0:17:30a daughter that's four.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32I haven't taught neither one of them how to ride
0:17:32 > 0:17:33a bike yet.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35The environment they live in is not safe.
0:17:35 > 0:17:36I miss you.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38I miss you too.
0:17:38 > 0:17:38I love you.
0:17:38 > 0:17:39I love you, dadda.
0:17:39 > 0:17:40OK, baby.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42I'm just trying to change the cycle.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46It's hard when you don't really have help, you know what I'm saying?
0:17:46 > 0:17:48It's like, we've put in a weird position,
0:17:49 > 0:17:59you know what I'm saying, because...
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Cut real quick.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08This BEEP don't end.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10It's a never-ending cycle, man.
0:18:10 > 0:18:11We're human, man.
0:18:11 > 0:18:20Rest in peace to both of my parents.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24It's real.
0:18:24 > 0:18:25Right.
0:18:25 > 0:18:26With so many guns and so little control,
0:18:27 > 0:18:28the murders will rise.
0:18:28 > 0:18:34Rarely solved and barely noticed.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36This may sound like the stuff of science fiction
0:18:36 > 0:18:39movies but American researchers broke new ground this year by trying
0:18:39 > 0:18:44to grow human organs inside pigs.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46The research uses a pioneering technique known as gene editing,
0:18:46 > 0:18:48which enables DNA to be altered simply and quickly.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Some believe it could provide the answer to the
0:18:50 > 0:18:55organ transplant crisis.
0:18:55 > 0:19:02As Fergus Walsh explains, it also raises many ethical issues.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05You are watching two species being mixed.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Human stem cells are being injected into a
0:19:07 > 0:19:11one-day-old pig embryo.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15You can see them travelling down the tube.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18This biologist in California is trying to grow a human pancreas
0:19:18 > 0:19:21inside a pig.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24Our hope is that this pig embryo will develop normally but
0:19:24 > 0:19:31the pancreas will be made almost exclusively out of human cells.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33So then that pancreas could be compatible with a patient
0:19:33 > 0:19:38for transplantation.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40The technique is known as gene editing.
0:19:40 > 0:19:41It uses molecular scissors to delete the DNA
0:19:41 > 0:19:47instructions in the pig embryo to create a pancreas.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49The ambition is the human cells will fill the void
0:19:49 > 0:19:55and grow a human pancreas instead.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57The same technique might enable other organs to be grown
0:19:57 > 0:20:02for transplant.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04The BBC's Panorama was allowed to film the sows which
0:20:04 > 0:20:11were pregnant with human pig embryos, known as chimeras.
0:20:11 > 0:20:12If human stem cells were taken from a
0:20:12 > 0:20:14patient, the transplant organs could be tissue matched,
0:20:14 > 0:20:20reducing the risk of rejection.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22This research raises profound ethical
0:20:22 > 0:20:26concerns, crucially just how human are the piglets developing inside
0:20:26 > 0:20:30this sow?
0:20:30 > 0:20:34It's such a sensitive area that the chimeric embryos will
0:20:34 > 0:20:38not be permitted to go to term but be removed for tissue analysis
0:20:38 > 0:20:39after 28 days gestation, when they're about
0:20:39 > 0:20:43a centimetre long.
0:20:43 > 0:20:44Crucially, they'll check whether the pig's
0:20:44 > 0:20:50developing brain gains human-like qualities.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Another pioneer in this field told me this question has yet
0:20:53 > 0:20:58to be resolved.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01With every organ we try to make, be it kidney, liver
0:21:01 > 0:21:04or lung, we will look at what's happening in the brain.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06If we find that it's too humanlike, we won't
0:21:06 > 0:21:08let those foetuses be born.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Organisations campaigning for an end to factory farming are dismayed
0:21:10 > 0:21:14by the thought of organ farms.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18I'm nervous about opening up a new source of animal suffering.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Let's first get many more people to donate organs.
0:21:20 > 0:21:26If then there is still a shortage, we can consider using pigs
0:21:26 > 0:21:29but on the basis that we eat less meat, so there's no overall increase
0:21:29 > 0:21:32in the number of pigs being used for human purposes.
0:21:32 > 0:21:397000 people in the UK are on the transplant waiting list.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42Hundreds die each year before a donor can be found.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Patient trials, involving gene-edited pig organs, are
0:21:45 > 0:21:48still some way off.
0:21:48 > 0:21:55Fergus Walsh, BBC News.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Finally, for centuries, the Berber men of North Africa have
0:21:58 > 0:22:01proved their worth in the dangerous macho sport of Fantasia,
0:22:01 > 0:22:03where teams of riders charge together, firing
0:22:03 > 0:22:10their rifles in unison.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Now, for the first time, female riders have been taking
0:22:12 > 0:22:13them on.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Sahar Zand has been to meet the Moroccan women warriors beating
0:22:16 > 0:22:19the men at their own game.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Fantasia, a centuries-old Moroccan tradition.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23A way for Berber men to show off their masculinity, horsemanship and
0:22:23 > 0:22:30warfare.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33But, in recent years, all woman troops are taking the rein,
0:22:33 > 0:22:43challenging the tradition.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46This is the leader of an all-female troupe.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49Today they are the only women competing in this regional Fantasia.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51By doing Fantasia, how different do you think the
0:22:51 > 0:22:54image you're giving out to the world to what they think a normal Arab
0:22:55 > 0:22:59or Moroccan girl should be or is?
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Before starting to do Fantasia, I said that women were just
0:23:02 > 0:23:03cooking, keeping the house.
0:23:03 > 0:23:04Now, also women ride a horse.
0:23:04 > 0:23:14Other people see power girls.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30I never saw girls do it.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Did you not think maybe you can't do it because
0:23:32 > 0:23:34no other girl has ever done it before?
0:23:34 > 0:23:35A challenge.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38When you first started Fantasia, how did men react to you?
0:23:38 > 0:23:39No they respect us.
0:23:39 > 0:23:40Did they not respect you before?
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Saying bad words, like, "You are just women.
0:23:42 > 0:23:43Your place is not here.
0:23:43 > 0:23:44Your places is your
0:23:44 > 0:23:45house or your children."
0:23:45 > 0:23:47In other words, have the bed eyes.
0:23:47 > 0:23:48That sounds horrible.
0:23:48 > 0:23:49Did that not put you off?
0:23:49 > 0:23:50No.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52That gives you power to continue.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54How did you find the girls in your troop?
0:23:54 > 0:23:57I search good girls.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00The girls who want to ride for Fantasia, not for taking photos.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04Before we go into the arena, we are praying to God to bless us.
0:24:04 > 0:24:05In Fantasia, maybe it's your last day.
0:24:05 > 0:24:14Before we go, we always kiss each other.
0:24:14 > 0:24:15For good luck?
0:24:15 > 0:24:16Yeah.
0:24:16 > 0:24:17Of course, for good luck.
0:24:17 > 0:24:25Thank you.
0:24:25 > 0:24:26I am nervous for them.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29My heart is beating.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31The aim is for the whole team to charge and shoot
0:24:31 > 0:24:36simultaneously.
0:24:36 > 0:24:41The winners are announced and the girls won.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Sahar Zand, BBC News, Morocco.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46That's all from this special edition of
0:24:46 > 0:24:50Reporters, looking back at some of the best reports from this year.
0:24:50 > 0:24:55From me, Philippa Thomas, goodbye for now.
