0:00:01 > 0:00:03Protestors have travelled from across the country
0:00:03 > 0:00:07and Jeremy Corbyn is expected to address the crowd.
0:00:07 > 0:00:07Now,
0:00:07 > 0:00:17Now, Reporters.
0:00:20 > 0:00:21Hello.
0:00:21 > 0:00:22Welcome to Reporters.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24I'm David Eades, and from here at the BBC Newsroom,
0:00:24 > 0:00:27we send our correspondants to bring you the best stories
0:00:27 > 0:00:28from across the globe.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31In this week's programme, the other side of the American dream.
0:00:31 > 0:00:35As Donald Trump sets out his vision for the next four years,
0:00:35 > 0:00:40Ian Pannell assesses the challenges that lie ahead.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42If you want to know what poverty in America looks
0:00:42 > 0:00:47like, well, this is it.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49President Trump says he is going to fix it.
0:00:49 > 0:00:57He's going to deal with what he calls the carnage
0:00:57 > 0:00:59in America, of crime, of drugs, of gangs,
0:00:59 > 0:01:00of violence and of poverty.
0:01:00 > 0:01:01Maram's Story.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Quentin Somerville tells the tale of the Syrian baby
0:01:04 > 0:01:09who lost her parents and had nearly every limb broken in
0:01:09 > 0:01:10a bombing in Aleppo.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12And also her reunion with the British doctor who saved her.
0:01:13 > 0:01:14Hello.
0:01:14 > 0:01:21In Tunisia, Orla Guerin reports from Sousse,
0:01:21 > 0:01:24reports on terror attack of its kind and asks if the Government security
0:01:24 > 0:01:29crackdown has made it safe for tourists to return.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32We would very happy to see again British coming back to us.
0:01:32 > 0:01:33Yes.
0:01:33 > 0:01:34Do you think it's 100% safe?
0:01:34 > 0:01:35Can you say that?
0:01:35 > 0:01:36Yes.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Absolutely.
0:01:38 > 0:01:39100%.
0:01:39 > 0:01:40100%.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44Is Greece's era of austerity over?
0:01:44 > 0:01:47As the authorities try to reach a new bailout deal, 18 months
0:01:47 > 0:01:49after the first major one, Kevin Connelly finds ordinary people
0:01:49 > 0:01:53unwilling to face more hard times.
0:01:53 > 0:01:5750% of Greek people are poor, poor and in the limits of indignity.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00And we are trying to protect all these people who cannot
0:02:00 > 0:02:01protect themselves.
0:02:01 > 0:02:06E-aid for Africa.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Alistair Leithead reports from Kenya on a new scheme to send
0:02:09 > 0:02:13money electronically to stop poverty and famine.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15And Fly Me To The Moon for $100 million.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19David Shukman reports on plans for two passengers to join the first
0:02:19 > 0:02:24manned flight to deep space for more than 40 years.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27It's going to give two rich people the thrill of a lifetime.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Basically it's really an adventure thrill ride that
0:02:29 > 0:02:33demonstrates a new capability.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37President Trump used his first speech to Congress to declare
0:02:37 > 0:02:41what he called a new chapter of American greatness.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44In a surprisingly measured tone, he asked legislators to pass
0:02:44 > 0:02:47a $1 trillion package to build new infrastructure and he missed
0:02:47 > 0:02:52massive tax relief for the middle class.
0:02:52 > 0:03:02But what about his pledge at his inauguration to help the poor
0:03:02 > 0:03:05and repair what he called the carnage in America, crime,
0:03:05 > 0:03:05drugs, gangs and poverty?
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Well, Ian Panel has been to Baltimore, where a quarter
0:03:08 > 0:03:11of the population lives in poverty, and many no longer see America
0:03:11 > 0:03:12as the land of opportunity.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Say hello to Jackson.
0:03:15 > 0:03:21A citizen of the wealthiest country in the world has ever known.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23And yet, he's clothed in hand-outs.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25His parents can't find work.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28They have no home of their own, and every morning, they come
0:03:28 > 0:03:30to the Manor House Charity, where the poor of Baltimore
0:03:30 > 0:03:40meet for a little food, warmth and compassion.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43What is your message to President Trump?
0:03:43 > 0:03:44Come and help us.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Instead of critiquing is, come and help us.
0:03:46 > 0:03:47You'll see we need help.
0:03:47 > 0:03:48Bad.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Like much of America, this is a story of two worlds.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Baltimore is actually something of a boom town these days,
0:03:54 > 0:04:00but it doesn't feel like it in many parts of the city.
0:04:00 > 0:04:08In this economy there is no trickle down.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Gun crime is surging here.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Baltimore was even more violent than Chicago last year,
0:04:12 > 0:04:15driven by gang turf wars.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18For some of its residents, this is a city where selling your
0:04:18 > 0:04:21body or selling drugs is the only job available.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24If you want to know what poverty in America looks like.
0:04:24 > 0:04:25Well, this is it.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Incredibly, this entire block is pretty much made up
0:04:28 > 0:04:32of dilapidated, abandon houses.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Incredibly, some people are living in between here.
0:04:34 > 0:04:35Under President Obama, poverty grew in America,
0:04:35 > 0:04:38and President Trump says he is going to fix it.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40He's going to deal with what he calls the carnage
0:04:40 > 0:04:42in America, of crime, of drugs, of violence
0:04:42 > 0:04:47and of poverty.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51And there are few places better to do that than Baltimore.
0:04:51 > 0:04:56Marcus Allsop has lifted for 40 years.
0:04:56 > 0:04:57He repairs the city's homes.
0:04:57 > 0:05:06An eyewitness to the worst Baltimore has to offer.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08The poor live in the single houses.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10The row houses in Baltimore are generally rat infested,
0:05:10 > 0:05:13regardless of what you do as a person living there.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17Roaches, mice.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19I mean, an epidemic of bedbugs.
0:05:19 > 0:05:20The neighbourhoods are falling apart, not
0:05:20 > 0:05:25because the people are bad people.
0:05:25 > 0:05:30We are underpaid, undereducated in so many of us have in living
0:05:30 > 0:05:33like this for the second and third generation until we don't
0:05:33 > 0:05:34know how to change.
0:05:34 > 0:05:44Despair is a way of living.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47And this is where it resides, on a bleak row of abandoned homes.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50This is the end of the line for Americans gripped by poverty.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Here, we met the last family living on the block.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Three generations of the Stewart family are crammed in here.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58They are months behind on the rent.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Unpaid bills are piling up, not surprisingly they just have
0:06:00 > 0:06:05$30 a day to survive.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06I love you.
0:06:06 > 0:06:07Be careful.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Have a good day.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11They've been evicted before, forced to live in one of Baltimore's
0:06:11 > 0:06:13many abandoned homes.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16It hurts, it hurts that they have to stay wrapped up in blankets
0:06:16 > 0:06:17all day because they are cold.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19They don't want to get out of bed because there's
0:06:19 > 0:06:21no heat to keep them warm.
0:06:21 > 0:06:22People talk about us.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24They get bullied in school because of it.
0:06:24 > 0:06:29It hurts.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33They've got to where they don't even want to show their faces outside.
0:06:33 > 0:06:39But we had no choice but to live there, because of the economy.
0:06:39 > 0:06:47I've been struggling for seven years.
0:06:47 > 0:06:47Seven hard years.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49What pressure does that put in your relationship?
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Oh, we argue and fight all the time.
0:06:51 > 0:06:52All the time.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54I love this woman to death.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57She is my best friend, but to see her go through the things
0:06:57 > 0:06:59she goes through, it hurts.
0:06:59 > 0:07:08It hurts me.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11For so many people, this is no longer a land of opportunity.
0:07:11 > 0:07:17Hope has given way to despair.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20And the children who clamour for charity hand-outs
0:07:20 > 0:07:23have no American dream.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26It will be perhaps the biggest challenge for the new president.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Ian Panel, BBC News, Baltimore.
0:07:28 > 0:07:33The Syrian conflict of course is full of terrible tales
0:07:33 > 0:07:35of horror and suffering, but one story stands out
0:07:35 > 0:07:40as a symbol of just how brutal and unfair war could be.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44In the New Year, five-year-old Maram lost both her parents
0:07:44 > 0:07:47and nearly every limb in her body was broken when her house
0:07:47 > 0:07:50was bombed in Aleppo.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52The British surgeon who operated on her watched her leave
0:07:52 > 0:07:56for asylum in Turkey, not knowing if she would survive.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Well, seven months on, Doctor David Nott has returned
0:07:58 > 0:08:00to Turkey to be reunited with Maram.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02As Quentin Somerville reports, this is a harrowing story
0:08:02 > 0:08:09with a happy ending.
0:08:09 > 0:08:14So much of a Aleppo's pain is anonymous.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17But Maram's suffering was unforgettable.
0:08:17 > 0:08:27An air strike killed her parents and left her gravely ill.
0:08:32 > 0:08:38There was shrapnel inside her hip.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41From here, and only five months old, she was evacuated
0:08:41 > 0:08:44to Turkey, lost and alone.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46But after months of searching, the BBC tracked her down
0:08:46 > 0:08:53and reunited the two.
0:08:53 > 0:08:58Everything at home, at Christmas it's lavish,
0:08:58 > 0:09:01lots of food, lots of happyness and I left this little
0:09:01 > 0:09:03girl without any food and without any happiness.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06It's going to be a bit emotional, to be really honest.
0:09:06 > 0:09:16A bit emotional.
0:09:16 > 0:09:17Right.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Oh, my goodness me.
0:09:19 > 0:09:24Well, well, well.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Well, well, well.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Hello.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38Gosh.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Gosh, she looks beautiful.
0:09:40 > 0:09:45You look beautiful!
0:09:45 > 0:09:46Absolutely beautiful.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Look what I have got for you.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50It's a dolly.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54Dolly.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01Is her leg healing?
0:10:03 > 0:10:07The final surgery was nearly too much.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11Maram almost didn't make it.
0:10:11 > 0:10:16Her wounds are healing, but there will be work
0:10:16 > 0:10:19to reconstruct her bones and repair damaged nerves.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21It's said children can't remember pain.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Few though don't have as much to forget as Maram.
0:10:23 > 0:10:31When I saw Maram today, it was very emotional.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34As a doctor, you try and stay fairly unemotional when you're dealing
0:10:34 > 0:10:35lots of people with injuries.
0:10:35 > 0:10:40I suppose having got children as well now,
0:10:40 > 0:10:44and how much you love that child, you know, a tiny piece of my heart
0:10:44 > 0:10:51was left with Maram.
0:10:51 > 0:10:57That's what I have been thinking about everyday since leaving.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00This morning was a beautiful moment.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03To meet her again.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06The story of Maram.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09We wish her all the best.
0:11:09 > 0:11:15Just how safe is Tunisian today?
0:11:15 > 0:11:18The Tunisian authorities say that now, 18 months after the biggest
0:11:18 > 0:11:22terror attack of its kind in the town of Sousse,
0:11:22 > 0:11:31it's now 100% safe for tourists.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34Following a British inquest findings that the Tunisian police response
0:11:34 > 0:11:36to the attack was shambolic, they insist major security
0:11:36 > 0:11:39improvements have taken place and that you knew there is as safe
0:11:39 > 0:11:40as many European destinations.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Orla Guerin has been back to visit Sousse yesterday.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45On alert in Sousse.
0:11:45 > 0:11:52The new vigilance that was utterly lacking on the day of the attack.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Now permanent checkpoints and patrols by the police
0:11:54 > 0:11:56and the Armed Forces.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58The message is clear.
0:11:58 > 0:11:59You are safe.
0:11:59 > 0:12:04It's a new Tunisia.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Ministers are looking to brighter days after tourism was gravely
0:12:07 > 0:12:12wounded in the carnage on the beach.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15We improved our security a lot, and we think that tourists will be
0:12:15 > 0:12:21coming back in the next few months now.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24We have good indications for summer 2017, and we will be very happy
0:12:24 > 0:12:26to see again British coming back to Tunisia.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29Do you think it's 100% safe?
0:12:29 > 0:12:30Can you say that?
0:12:30 > 0:12:31Yes, absolutely.
0:12:31 > 0:12:32100% safe?
0:12:32 > 0:12:37100%.
0:12:37 > 0:12:43Metal detectors are now standard when you enter a hotel,
0:12:43 > 0:12:46even if you own them like Mohammed Bashir.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49He co-owns the now closed hotel where the British holiday-makers
0:12:49 > 0:12:53were killed on June 26 2015.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57He admits security in Tunisia should have been tightened that March,
0:12:57 > 0:13:01after an attack on tourists in the Bardo Museum.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03It should have been stricter after the Bardo attack.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06To be honest with you, it should have been.
0:13:06 > 0:13:15But there is a before 26th of June 2015, and there is an after.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17This is not the same country any more.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21This was the picture when terror came to the beach.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Locals say the lone gunman was on the loose
0:13:23 > 0:13:29for over half an hour.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32At the inquest in London, condemnation at the glaring absence
0:13:32 > 0:13:36of the security forces.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39When tourists were being slaughtered here on the sands, police
0:13:39 > 0:13:41could and should have made an effective response
0:13:41 > 0:13:45according to the coroner.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48He says police could have arrived here in minutes with everything
0:13:48 > 0:13:51they needed to confront the gunmen.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55Instead, they deliberately delayed their arrival.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58The first officer on the scene stayed outside the main gate
0:13:58 > 0:14:06and never fired a single shot.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Mehdi knows only too well that the police
0:14:08 > 0:14:10were nowhere to be seen.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14When the shooting started, he was on the beach
0:14:14 > 0:14:15selling rides on jet skis.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19His response was swift.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23Here he is, chasing the killer, armed only with two ashtrays.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27Hoping in vain for help.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39TRANSLATION: No one came, apart from the two
0:14:39 > 0:14:41guards, who did nothing.
0:14:41 > 0:14:51Then, when we ran along the beach, there were three
0:14:51 > 0:14:52national guard boats in the sea.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56They didn't come until afterwards, when he was killed.
0:14:56 > 0:14:57At the Imperial hotel where the gunmen
0:14:57 > 0:14:59claimed so many lives, they are getting ready
0:14:59 > 0:15:00to reopen in May.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Hoping tourists will return to the golden sands.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05Sunbathers now have company on the beach.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08Protection that came too late for 30 Britons who just wanted
0:15:08 > 0:15:09a break from it all.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11Orla Guerin, BBC News, Sousse.
0:15:11 > 0:15:16Greece's debt drama is back again.
0:15:16 > 0:15:21This week, the country's creditors held talks with the government
0:15:21 > 0:15:24over plans to unlock billions more dollars in bailout money to help
0:15:24 > 0:15:25the struggling economy there.
0:15:25 > 0:15:3118 months after the first bailout, the Greek Prime Minister has
0:15:31 > 0:15:33insisted that the era of austerity is over.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35As Kevin Connolly reports from Athens, it's clear that
0:15:35 > 0:15:38ordinary people are just no longer prepared to put up with any
0:15:38 > 0:15:39further economic hardship.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42CROWD CHANTS
0:15:42 > 0:15:49In the outskirts of at Athens, Greek frustrations
0:15:49 > 0:15:51with deficit and debt and deadlines from banks boils
0:15:51 > 0:15:53over at a courtroom.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57The man in the striped shirt is a lawyer, come to process
0:15:57 > 0:16:00a repossession order on a building whose owners couldn't
0:16:00 > 0:16:03pay their mortgage.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06The activists have come to stop him.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09He can't get the case heard because he can't make himself heard,
0:16:09 > 0:16:19and it's abandoned for the day.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21A victory in the fightback against austerity say the protesters.
0:16:21 > 0:16:2350% of Greek people are poor.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25We are at the limits of indignity.
0:16:25 > 0:16:34We are here to protect all these people who cannot protect
0:16:34 > 0:16:36themselves because the state does not protect these people.
0:16:36 > 0:16:42After years of cuts, many Greeks fear the IMF
0:16:42 > 0:16:48and the leaders of the euro zone are preparing to demand more.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Traders in the Athens fish markets say business has fallen by 70%
0:16:51 > 0:16:55since the debt crisis began to bite seven years ago.
0:16:55 > 0:17:04They warn that they and their customers can't take any more.
0:17:04 > 0:17:09TRANSLATION: We don't believe them.
0:17:09 > 0:17:10They always want more cuts.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13There are always new cuts and never new jobs.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16If the IMF and Eurozone impose more austerity nothing will change.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18More investment would make things better, but more austerity won't.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20Greek problems with debt have an ancient feel
0:17:20 > 0:17:25to them these days.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Superseded in the world's attention span regarding Brexit
0:17:27 > 0:17:28and the coming of President Trump.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31The Greek Government says those changes are part of a wave
0:17:31 > 0:17:38of populism around the world, that are going to help
0:17:38 > 0:17:40it resist any demands from its creditors for new cuts.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43This is a general incentive for all people of Europe
0:17:43 > 0:17:48especially in Greece, because we have been hit
0:17:48 > 0:17:54by austerity much harder than any other places in Europe.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56The real question, how to reverse austerity?
0:17:56 > 0:18:05I think there is hope in that exactly because
0:18:05 > 0:18:08the elites cannot govern as in the past.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Plenty of Greeks want their Government to push back
0:18:10 > 0:18:12hard against any calls for more austerity.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14This protesters are communists, not likely to be part
0:18:14 > 0:18:16of any future Government, but certainly part of the drumbeat
0:18:16 > 0:18:18of discontent against any deal with international creditors that
0:18:19 > 0:18:23would mean further hardship here.
0:18:23 > 0:18:31So, the international community talks about light at the end
0:18:31 > 0:18:34of the tunnel on Greek debt, but the message from meetings
0:18:34 > 0:18:37like this and from these streets is that it is a tunnel that keeps
0:18:37 > 0:18:40getting longer, and a light that never seems to get any brighter.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43Kevin Connelly, BBC News, Athens.
0:18:43 > 0:18:50We are going to take you to the Horn of Africa where drought
0:18:50 > 0:18:52is causing intense suffering for the people of that region.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Last week, famine was declared in South Sudan.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57Somalia announced a national disaster this week because of
0:18:57 > 0:18:59drought and that was just weeks after neighbouring Kenyan
0:18:59 > 0:19:01declared its own drought emergency.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04In the midst of all this, Kenyans have come up with a novel
0:19:04 > 0:19:07way to help those affected.
0:19:07 > 0:19:12Rather than food aid, it's started to use electronic cash payments.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14As Alistair Leithhead reports, direct transfers are helping to lift
0:19:14 > 0:19:23people out of poverty.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25There are thin pickings for the cattle of northern Kenyan.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Drought is back and with it, a difficult decision,
0:19:27 > 0:19:37whether or not to sell the cows to survive.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41Help can be as simple as sending cash to stop them having to
0:19:41 > 0:19:43sell-off the family assets, and it's being done
0:19:43 > 0:19:44from hundreds of miles away.
0:19:44 > 0:19:45In Nairobi.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48So the red shows the area where we have had extreme drought,
0:19:48 > 0:19:51and if you have a look at this and compared to what we have this
0:19:51 > 0:19:54year, you can see we have red all across the four counties.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56The satellite data determines who gets emergency aid
0:19:56 > 0:19:57money from the UK.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59No strings attached, direct cash payments are becoming
0:19:59 > 0:20:02increasingly popular.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05This man's card automatically gets topped up with credit.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08He identifies himself by a fingerprint scan.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10$25 a month is handed over.
0:20:10 > 0:20:15The worse the drought, the more people receive
0:20:15 > 0:20:22cash to cover the bills and keep them going.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24If it wasn't for these cash payments, he said,
0:20:24 > 0:20:27he'd had to sell the livestock as there are lots of things that
0:20:27 > 0:20:28have to be paid for.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31School fees, food for the family and all the other basic needs.
0:20:31 > 0:20:38Well, you can see why this idea of sending people cash directly
0:20:38 > 0:20:40works in places where there's a humanitarian crisis,
0:20:40 > 0:20:41like here, where there
0:20:41 > 0:20:44is drought and people are doing everything they can just to keep
0:20:44 > 0:20:45the cattle alive.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47But there are joining places that aren't as bad.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Just to try and lift people out of poverty.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Here in western Kenya, there is no drought but people
0:20:52 > 0:20:56are extremely poor.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58A charity called Give Directly is doing just that.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Like everywhere, people have big dreams.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04This evening a lump sum of thousand dollars
0:21:04 > 0:21:07this lady to build a little house and start a business
0:21:07 > 0:21:09selling cooking fat.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11A tin roof replaced the thatch which needed
0:21:11 > 0:21:19regular and costly repair.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22TRANSLATION: I'm happy because I'm not using any more money on my roof.
0:21:22 > 0:21:27I can use it to buy my close, food, pay school fees and other expenses.
0:21:27 > 0:21:32Others use the lump sum to buy cattle, fertiliser, seed.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35After five years of detailed research here into how people
0:21:35 > 0:21:37spend their free money, there's little evidence
0:21:37 > 0:21:41it is wasted or abused.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44And there's plenty of proof to show it's being used to reduce poverty
0:21:44 > 0:21:46and make a difference in humanitarian crisis.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Alistair Leithhead, BBC News, Kenya.
0:21:49 > 0:21:54How ready are we to fly to the moon and back for a holiday?
0:21:54 > 0:22:01Well, the prospect of space tourism has moved a little closer this week,
0:22:01 > 0:22:04after an American aerospace company SpaceX has said it has room for two
0:22:04 > 0:22:05passengers on its next mission 2018.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07This would be the first manned flight to deep space
0:22:07 > 0:22:10in more than 40 years, although it would involve
0:22:10 > 0:22:11a lunar landing as such.
0:22:11 > 0:22:12There's a catch.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16It's going to cost you $100 million a seat.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20Our science editor, David Shukman has been to find out more.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23A SpaceX promotion.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Bold and often boastful, this young company knows how
0:22:26 > 0:22:31to whip up excitement.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33The rocket is the Falcon Heavy.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35It's yet to be launched.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37This is an animation, but already, two tourists
0:22:37 > 0:22:39have been promised seats
0:22:39 > 0:22:42on it to fly around the moon as early as next year.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Not since the last Apollo mission, back in 1972, have any humans flown
0:22:45 > 0:22:50anywhere near the moon.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53The tourists will not be landing on it, but if this trip happens then
0:22:53 > 0:22:55they will get amazing views, and space scientists
0:22:55 > 0:23:00say this is plausible.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04We are really now entering the era where space
0:23:04 > 0:23:05tourism is a possability.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08In fact, a probability.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12Maybe not for another 10, 15, 20 years,
0:23:12 > 0:23:13for ordinary people to afford it.
0:23:13 > 0:23:19It will be the playground of the rich.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21The man behind SpaceX is Elon Musk.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23When I met him he spilled out a startling vision
0:23:23 > 0:23:24of travel beyond Earth.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27I think we are really entering a new era of space travel
0:23:27 > 0:23:28that's very exciting.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30There is a history of SpaceX promises running late
0:23:30 > 0:23:36but eventually being delivered.
0:23:36 > 0:23:37Ten days ago, it landed
0:23:37 > 0:23:39a huge rocket, significant because reusing spacecraft
0:23:39 > 0:23:42will make launches cheaper.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Last year, one of its rocket blew up, but SpaceX quickly got
0:23:45 > 0:23:46back to its key business of launching satellites.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48This week, its Dragon capsule delivered cargo
0:23:49 > 0:23:53to the International Space Station.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56A trip to the moon is obviously harder, and critics say it
0:23:56 > 0:23:58would just be a joyride.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Well, it's going to give two rich people a thrill of a lifetime.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05It's not anything to do with science or exploration.
0:24:05 > 0:24:10It's repeating missions that have been done 40 plus years before,
0:24:10 > 0:24:15so it's basically an adventure, a thrill ride that
0:24:15 > 0:24:16demonstrates a new capability.
0:24:16 > 0:24:17I love space.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20So, how much will it cost?
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Well, tourists visiting the International Space Station have
0:24:23 > 0:24:25paid at least $20 million each.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28A moon trip would be much more.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31We don't know who the two passengers are, but if they get there,
0:24:31 > 0:24:34they may pave the way for others to follow.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38David Shukman, BBC News.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40That's your lot from Reporters this week.
0:24:40 > 0:24:46From me, David Eades, goodbye.
0:25:02 > 0:25:02Fancy
0:25:02 > 0:25:02Fancy seeing
0:25:02 > 0:25:02Fancy seeing you
