Now, Reporters. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:17 | |
Hello. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:21 | |
Welcome to Reporters. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:22 | |
I'm David Eades, and from here at the BBC Newsroom, | 0:00:22 | 0:00:24 | |
we send our correspondants to bring you the best stories | 0:00:24 | 0:00:27 | |

In this week's programme, the other side of the American dream. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:31 | |
As Donald Trump sets out his vision for the next four years, | 0:00:31 | 0:00:35 | |
Ian Pannell assesses the challenges that lie ahead. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:40 | |
If you want to know what poverty in America looks | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
like, well, this is it. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:47 | |
President Trump says he is going to fix it. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:49 | |
He's going to deal with what he calls the carnage | 0:00:49 | 0:00:57 | |
in America, of crime, of drugs, of gangs, | 0:00:57 | 0:00:59 | |
of violence and of poverty. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:00 | |
Maram's Story. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:01 | |
Quentin Somerville tells the tale of the Syrian baby | 0:01:01 | 0:01:04 | |
who lost her parents and had nearly every limb broken in | 0:01:04 | 0:01:09 | |
a bombing in Aleppo. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:10 | |
And also her reunion with the British doctor who saved her. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:12 | |
Hello. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:14 | |
In Tunisia, Orla Guerin reports from Sousse, | 0:01:14 | 0:01:21 | |
reports on terror attack of its kind and asks if the Government security | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
crackdown has made it safe for tourists to return. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:29 | |
We would very happy to see again British coming back to us. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
Yes. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:33 | |
Do you think it's 100% safe? | 0:01:33 | 0:01:34 | |
Can you say that? | 0:01:34 | 0:01:35 | |
Yes. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:36 | |
Absolutely. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
100%. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:39 | |
100%. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:40 | |
Is Greece's era of austerity over? | 0:01:40 | 0:01:44 | |
As the authorities try to reach a new bailout deal, 18 months | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
after the first major one, Kevin Connelly finds ordinary people | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
unwilling to face more hard times. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:53 | |
50% of Greek people are poor, poor and in the limits of indignity. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:57 | |
And we are trying to protect all these people who cannot | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
protect themselves. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:01 | |
E-aid for Africa. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:06 | |
Alistair Leithead reports from Kenya on a new scheme to send | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |

And Fly Me To The Moon for $100 million. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
David Shukman reports on plans for two passengers to join the first | 0:02:15 | 0:02:19 | |
manned flight to deep space for more than 40 years. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:24 | |
It's going to give two rich people the thrill of a lifetime. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |
Basically it's really an adventure thrill ride that | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
demonstrates a new capability. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:33 | |
President Trump used his first speech to Congress to declare | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
what he called a new chapter of American greatness. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:41 | |
In a surprisingly measured tone, he asked legislators to pass | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
a $1 trillion package to build new infrastructure and he missed | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
massive tax relief for the middle class. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:52 | |
But what about his pledge at his inauguration to help the poor | 0:02:52 | 0:03:02 | |
and repair what he called the carnage in America, crime, | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
drugs, gangs and poverty? | 0:03:05 | 0:03:05 | |
Well, Ian Panel has been to Baltimore, where a quarter | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
of the population lives in poverty, and many no longer see America | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
as the land of opportunity. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:12 | |
Say hello to Jackson. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
A citizen of the wealthiest country in the world has ever known. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:21 | |
And yet, he's clothed in hand-outs. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:23 | |
His parents can't find work. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:25 | |
They have no home of their own, and every morning, they come | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
to the Manor House Charity, where the poor of Baltimore | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 | |
meet for a little food, warmth and compassion. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:40 | |
What is your message to President Trump? | 0:03:41 | 0:03:43 | |
Come and help us. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:44 | |
Instead of critiquing is, come and help us. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:46 | |
You'll see we need help. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:47 | |
Bad. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:48 | |
Like much of America, this is a story of two worlds. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:51 | |
Baltimore is actually something of a boom town these days, | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
but it doesn't feel like it in many parts of the city. | 0:03:54 | 0:04:00 | |
In this economy there is no trickle down. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:08 | |
Gun crime is surging here. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:10 | |
Baltimore was even more violent than Chicago last year, | 0:04:10 | 0:04:12 | |
driven by gang turf wars. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:15 | |
For some of its residents, this is a city where selling your | 0:04:15 | 0:04:18 | |
body or selling drugs is the only job available. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:21 | |
If you want to know what poverty in America looks like. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:24 | |
Well, this is it. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:25 | |
Incredibly, this entire block is pretty much made up | 0:04:25 | 0:04:27 | |
of dilapidated, abandon houses. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:32 | |
Incredibly, some people are living in between here. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:34 | |
Under President Obama, poverty grew in America, | 0:04:34 | 0:04:35 | |
and President Trump says he is going to fix it. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:38 | |
He's going to deal with what he calls the carnage | 0:04:38 | 0:04:40 | |
in America, of crime, of drugs, of violence | 0:04:40 | 0:04:42 | |
and of poverty. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:47 | |
And there are few places better to do that than Baltimore. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:51 | |
Marcus Allsop has lifted for 40 years. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:56 | |
He repairs the city's homes. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:57 | |
An eyewitness to the worst Baltimore has to offer. | 0:04:57 | 0:05:06 | |
The poor live in the single houses. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:08 | |
The row houses in Baltimore are generally rat infested, | 0:05:08 | 0:05:10 | |
regardless of what you do as a person living there. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:13 | |
Roaches, mice. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:17 | |
I mean, an epidemic of bedbugs. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:19 | |
The neighbourhoods are falling apart, not | 0:05:19 | 0:05:20 | |
because the people are bad people. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:25 | |
We are underpaid, undereducated in so many of us have in living | 0:05:25 | 0:05:30 | |
like this for the second and third generation until we don't | 0:05:30 | 0:05:33 | |
know how to change. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:34 | |
Despair is a way of living. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:44 | |
And this is where it resides, on a bleak row of abandoned homes. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:47 | |
This is the end of the line for Americans gripped by poverty. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:50 | |
Here, we met the last family living on the block. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:53 | |
Three generations of the Stewart family are crammed in here. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:55 | |
They are months behind on the rent. | 0:05:55 | 0:05:58 | |
Unpaid bills are piling up, not surprisingly they just have | 0:05:58 | 0:06:00 | |
$30 a day to survive. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:05 | |
I love you. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:06 | |
Be careful. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:07 | |
Have a good day. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:09 | |
They've been evicted before, forced to live in one of Baltimore's | 0:06:09 | 0:06:11 | |
many abandoned homes. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:13 | |
It hurts, it hurts that they have to stay wrapped up in blankets | 0:06:13 | 0:06:16 | |
all day because they are cold. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:17 | |
They don't want to get out of bed because there's | 0:06:17 | 0:06:19 | |
no heat to keep them warm. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:21 | |
People talk about us. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:22 | |
They get bullied in school because of it. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:24 | |
It hurts. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:29 | |
They've got to where they don't even want to show their faces outside. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:33 | |
But we had no choice but to live there, because of the economy. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:39 | |
I've been struggling for seven years. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:47 | |
Seven hard years. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:47 | |
What pressure does that put in your relationship? | 0:06:47 | 0:06:49 | |
Oh, we argue and fight all the time. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:51 | |
All the time. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:52 | |
I love this woman to death. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:54 | |
She is my best friend, but to see her go through the things | 0:06:54 | 0:06:57 | |
she goes through, it hurts. | 0:06:57 | 0:06:59 | |
It hurts me. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:08 | |
For so many people, this is no longer a land of opportunity. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:11 | |
Hope has given way to despair. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:17 | |
And the children who clamour for charity hand-outs | 0:07:17 | 0:07:20 | |
have no American dream. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:23 | |
It will be perhaps the biggest challenge for the new president. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:26 | |
Ian Panel, BBC News, Baltimore. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:28 | |
The Syrian conflict of course is full of terrible tales | 0:07:28 | 0:07:33 | |
of horror and suffering, but one story stands out | 0:07:33 | 0:07:35 | |
as a symbol of just how brutal and unfair war could be. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:40 | |
In the New Year, five-year-old Maram lost both her parents | 0:07:40 | 0:07:44 | |
and nearly every limb in her body was broken when her house | 0:07:44 | 0:07:47 | |
was bombed in Aleppo. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:50 | |
The British surgeon who operated on her watched her leave | 0:07:50 | 0:07:52 | |
for asylum in Turkey, not knowing if she would survive. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:56 | |
Well, seven months on, Doctor David Nott has returned | 0:07:56 | 0:07:58 | |
to Turkey to be reunited with Maram. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:00 | |
As Quentin Somerville reports, this is a harrowing story | 0:08:00 | 0:08:02 | |
with a happy ending. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:09 | |
So much of a Aleppo's pain is anonymous. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:14 | |
But Maram's suffering was unforgettable. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:17 | |
An air strike killed her parents and left her gravely ill. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:27 | |
There was shrapnel inside her hip. | 0:08:32 | 0:08:38 | |
From here, and only five months old, she was evacuated | 0:08:38 | 0:08:41 | |
to Turkey, lost and alone. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:44 | |
But after months of searching, the BBC tracked her down | 0:08:44 | 0:08:46 | |
and reunited the two. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:53 | |
Everything at home, at Christmas it's lavish, | 0:08:53 | 0:08:58 | |
lots of food, lots of happyness and I left this little | 0:08:58 | 0:09:01 | |
girl without any food and without any happiness. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:03 | |
It's going to be a bit emotional, to be really honest. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:06 | |
A bit emotional. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:16 | |
Right. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:17 | |
Oh, my goodness me. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:19 | |
Well, well, well. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:24 | |
Well, well, well. | 0:09:25 | 0:09:28 | |
Hello. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:32 | |
Gosh. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:38 | |
Gosh, she looks beautiful. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:40 | |
You look beautiful! | 0:09:40 | 0:09:45 | |
Absolutely beautiful. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:46 | |
Look what I have got for you. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:48 | |
It's a dolly. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:50 | |
Dolly. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:54 | |
Is her leg healing? | 0:09:57 | 0:10:01 | |
The final surgery was nearly too much. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:07 | |
Maram almost didn't make it. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:11 | |
Her wounds are healing, but there will be work | 0:10:11 | 0:10:16 | |
to reconstruct her bones and repair damaged nerves. | 0:10:16 | 0:10:19 | |
It's said children can't remember pain. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:21 | |
Few though don't have as much to forget as Maram. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:23 | |
When I saw Maram today, it was very emotional. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:31 | |
As a doctor, you try and stay fairly unemotional when you're dealing | 0:10:31 | 0:10:34 | |
lots of people with injuries. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:35 | |
I suppose having got children as well now, | 0:10:35 | 0:10:40 | |
and how much you love that child, you know, a tiny piece of my heart | 0:10:40 | 0:10:44 | |
was left with Maram. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:51 | |
That's what I have been thinking about everyday since leaving. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:57 | |
This morning was a beautiful moment. | 0:10:57 | 0:11:00 | |
To meet her again. | 0:11:00 | 0:11:03 | |
The story of Maram. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:06 | |
We wish her all the best. | 0:11:06 | 0:11:09 | |
Just how safe is Tunisian today? | 0:11:09 | 0:11:15 | |
The Tunisian authorities say that now, 18 months after the biggest | 0:11:15 | 0:11:18 | |
terror attack of its kind in the town of Sousse, | 0:11:18 | 0:11:22 | |
it's now 100% safe for tourists. | 0:11:22 | 0:11:31 | |
Following a British inquest findings that the Tunisian police response | 0:11:31 | 0:11:34 | |
to the attack was shambolic, they insist major security | 0:11:34 | 0:11:36 | |
improvements have taken place and that you knew there is as safe | 0:11:36 | 0:11:39 | |
as many European destinations. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:40 | |
Orla Guerin has been back to visit Sousse yesterday. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:42 | |
On alert in Sousse. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:45 | |
The new vigilance that was utterly lacking on the day of the attack. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:52 | |
Now permanent checkpoints and patrols by the police | 0:11:52 | 0:11:54 | |
and the Armed Forces. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:56 | |
The message is clear. | 0:11:56 | 0:11:58 | |
You are safe. | 0:11:58 | 0:11:59 | |
It's a new Tunisia. | 0:11:59 | 0:12:04 | |
Ministers are looking to brighter days after tourism was gravely | 0:12:04 | 0:12:07 | |
wounded in the carnage on the beach. | 0:12:07 | 0:12:12 | |
We improved our security a lot, and we think that tourists will be | 0:12:12 | 0:12:15 | |
coming back in the next few months now. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:21 | |
We have good indications for summer 2017, and we will be very happy | 0:12:21 | 0:12:24 | |
to see again British coming back to Tunisia. | 0:12:24 | 0:12:26 | |
Do you think it's 100% safe? | 0:12:27 | 0:12:29 | |
Can you say that? | 0:12:29 | 0:12:30 | |
Yes, absolutely. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:31 | |
100% safe? | 0:12:31 | 0:12:32 | |
100%. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:37 | |
Metal detectors are now standard when you enter a hotel, | 0:12:37 | 0:12:43 | |
even if you own them like Mohammed Bashir. | 0:12:43 | 0:12:46 | |
He co-owns the now closed hotel where the British holiday-makers | 0:12:46 | 0:12:49 | |
were killed on June 26 2015. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:53 | |
He admits security in Tunisia should have been tightened that March, | 0:12:53 | 0:12:57 | |
after an attack on tourists in the Bardo Museum. | 0:12:57 | 0:13:01 | |
It should have been stricter after the Bardo attack. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:03 | |
To be honest with you, it should have been. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:06 | |
But there is a before 26th of June 2015, and there is an after. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:15 | |
This is not the same country any more. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:17 | |
This was the picture when terror came to the beach. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:21 | |
Locals say the lone gunman was on the loose | 0:13:21 | 0:13:23 | |
for over half an hour. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:29 | |
At the inquest in London, condemnation at the glaring absence | 0:13:29 | 0:13:32 | |
of the security forces. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:36 | |
When tourists were being slaughtered here on the sands, police | 0:13:36 | 0:13:39 | |
could and should have made an effective response | 0:13:39 | 0:13:41 | |
according to the coroner. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:45 | |
He says police could have arrived here in minutes with everything | 0:13:45 | 0:13:48 | |
they needed to confront the gunmen. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:51 | |
Instead, they deliberately delayed their arrival. | 0:13:51 | 0:13:55 | |
The first officer on the scene stayed outside the main gate | 0:13:55 | 0:13:58 | |
and never fired a single shot. | 0:13:58 | 0:14:06 | |
Mehdi knows only too well that the police | 0:14:06 | 0:14:08 | |
were nowhere to be seen. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:10 | |
When the shooting started, he was on the beach | 0:14:10 | 0:14:14 | |
selling rides on jet skis. | 0:14:14 | 0:14:15 | |
His response was swift. | 0:14:15 | 0:14:19 | |
Here he is, chasing the killer, armed only with two ashtrays. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:23 | |
Hoping in vain for help. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:27 | |
TRANSLATION: No one came, apart from the two | 0:14:37 | 0:14:39 | |
guards, who did nothing. | 0:14:39 | 0:14:41 | |
Then, when we ran along the beach, there were three | 0:14:41 | 0:14:51 | |

Greece's debt drama is back again. | 0:15:11 | 0:15:16 | |
This week, the country's creditors held talks with the government | 0:15:16 | 0:15:21 | |
over plans to unlock billions more dollars in bailout money to help | 0:15:21 | 0:15:24 | |
the struggling economy there. | 0:15:24 | 0:15:25 | |
18 months after the first bailout, the Greek Prime Minister has | 0:15:25 | 0:15:31 | |
insisted that the era of austerity is over. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:33 | |
As Kevin Connolly reports from Athens, it's clear that | 0:15:33 | 0:15:35 | |
ordinary people are just no longer prepared to put up with any | 0:15:35 | 0:15:38 | |
further economic hardship. | 0:15:38 | 0:15:39 | |
CROWD CHANTS | 0:15:39 | 0:15:42 | |
In the outskirts of at Athens, Greek frustrations | 0:15:42 | 0:15:49 | |
with deficit and debt and deadlines from banks boils | 0:15:49 | 0:15:51 | |
over at a courtroom. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:53 | |
The man in the striped shirt is a lawyer, come to process | 0:15:53 | 0:15:57 | |
a repossession order on a building whose owners couldn't | 0:15:57 | 0:16:00 | |
pay their mortgage. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:03 | |
The activists have come to stop him. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:06 | |
He can't get the case heard because he can't make himself heard, | 0:16:06 | 0:16:09 | |
and it's abandoned for the day. | 0:16:09 | 0:16:19 | |
A victory in the fightback against austerity say the protesters. | 0:16:19 | 0:16:21 | |
50% of Greek people are poor. | 0:16:21 | 0:16:23 | |
We are at the limits of indignity. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:25 | |
We are here to protect all these people who cannot protect | 0:16:25 | 0:16:34 | |
themselves because the state does not protect these people. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:36 | |
After years of cuts, many Greeks fear the IMF | 0:16:36 | 0:16:42 | |
and the leaders of the euro zone are preparing to demand more. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:48 | |
Traders in the Athens fish markets say business has fallen by 70% | 0:16:48 | 0:16:51 | |
since the debt crisis began to bite seven years ago. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:55 | |
They warn that they and their customers can't take any more. | 0:16:55 | 0:17:04 | |
TRANSLATION: We don't believe them. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:09 | |
They always want more cuts. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:10 | |
There are always new cuts and never new jobs. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:13 | |
If the IMF and Eurozone impose more austerity nothing will change. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:16 | |
More investment would make things better, but more austerity won't. | 0:17:16 | 0:17:18 | |
Greek problems with debt have an ancient feel | 0:17:18 | 0:17:20 | |
to them these days. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:25 | |
Superseded in the world's attention span regarding Brexit | 0:17:25 | 0:17:27 | |
and the coming of President Trump. | 0:17:27 | 0:17:28 | |
The Greek Government says those changes are part of a wave | 0:17:28 | 0:17:31 | |
of populism around the world, that are going to help | 0:17:31 | 0:17:38 | |
it resist any demands from its creditors for new cuts. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:40 | |
This is a general incentive for all people of Europe | 0:17:40 | 0:17:43 | |
especially in Greece, because we have been hit | 0:17:43 | 0:17:48 | |
by austerity much harder than any other places in Europe. | 0:17:48 | 0:17:54 | |
The real question, how to reverse austerity? | 0:17:54 | 0:17:56 | |
I think there is hope in that exactly because | 0:17:56 | 0:18:05 | |
the elites cannot govern as in the past. | 0:18:05 | 0:18:08 | |
Plenty of Greeks want their Government to push back | 0:18:08 | 0:18:10 | |
hard against any calls for more austerity. | 0:18:10 | 0:18:12 | |
This protesters are communists, not likely to be part | 0:18:12 | 0:18:14 | |
of any future Government, but certainly part of the drumbeat | 0:18:14 | 0:18:16 | |
of discontent against any deal with international creditors that | 0:18:16 | 0:18:18 | |
would mean further hardship here. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:23 | |
So, the international community talks about light at the end | 0:18:23 | 0:18:31 | |
of the tunnel on Greek debt, but the message from meetings | 0:18:31 | 0:18:34 | |
like this and from these streets is that it is a tunnel that keeps | 0:18:34 | 0:18:37 | |
getting longer, and a light that never seems to get any brighter. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:40 | |

We are going to take you to the Horn of Africa where drought | 0:18:43 | 0:18:50 | |
is causing intense suffering for the people of that region. | 0:18:50 | 0:18:52 | |
Last week, famine was declared in South Sudan. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:54 | |
Somalia announced a national disaster this week because of | 0:18:54 | 0:18:57 | |
drought and that was just weeks after neighbouring Kenyan | 0:18:57 | 0:18:59 | |
declared its own drought emergency. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:01 | |
In the midst of all this, Kenyans have come up with a novel | 0:19:01 | 0:19:04 | |
way to help those affected. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:07 | |
Rather than food aid, it's started to use electronic cash payments. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:12 | |
As Alistair Leithhead reports, direct transfers are helping to lift | 0:19:12 | 0:19:14 | |
people out of poverty. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:23 | |
There are thin pickings for the cattle of northern Kenyan. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:25 | |
Drought is back and with it, a difficult decision, | 0:19:25 | 0:19:27 | |
whether or not to sell the cows to survive. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:37 | |
Help can be as simple as sending cash to stop them having to | 0:19:38 | 0:19:41 | |
sell-off the family assets, and it's being done | 0:19:41 | 0:19:43 | |
from hundreds of miles away. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:44 | |
In Nairobi. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:45 | |
So the red shows the area where we have had extreme drought, | 0:19:45 | 0:19:48 | |
and if you have a look at this and compared to what we have this | 0:19:48 | 0:19:51 | |
year, you can see we have red all across the four counties. | 0:19:51 | 0:19:54 | |
The satellite data determines who gets emergency aid | 0:19:54 | 0:19:56 | |
money from the UK. | 0:19:56 | 0:19:57 | |
No strings attached, direct cash payments are becoming | 0:19:57 | 0:19:59 | |
increasingly popular. | 0:19:59 | 0:20:02 | |
This man's card automatically gets topped up with credit. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:05 | |
He identifies himself by a fingerprint scan. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:08 | |
$25 a month is handed over. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:10 | |
The worse the drought, the more people receive | 0:20:10 | 0:20:15 | |
cash to cover the bills and keep them going. | 0:20:15 | 0:20:22 | |
If it wasn't for these cash payments, he said, | 0:20:22 | 0:20:24 | |
he'd had to sell the livestock as there are lots of things that | 0:20:24 | 0:20:27 | |
have to be paid for. | 0:20:27 | 0:20:28 | |
School fees, food for the family and all the other basic needs. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:31 | |
Well, you can see why this idea of sending people cash directly | 0:20:31 | 0:20:38 | |
works in places where there's a humanitarian crisis, | 0:20:38 | 0:20:40 | |
like here, where there | 0:20:40 | 0:20:41 | |
is drought and people are doing everything they can just to keep | 0:20:41 | 0:20:44 | |
the cattle alive. | 0:20:44 | 0:20:45 | |
But there are joining places that aren't as bad. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:47 | |
Just to try and lift people out of poverty. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:49 | |
Here in western Kenya, there is no drought but people | 0:20:49 | 0:20:51 | |
are extremely poor. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:56 | |
A charity called Give Directly is doing just that. | 0:20:56 | 0:20:58 | |
Like everywhere, people have big dreams. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:00 | |
This evening a lump sum of thousand dollars | 0:21:00 | 0:21:04 | |
this lady to build a little house and start a business | 0:21:04 | 0:21:07 | |
selling cooking fat. | 0:21:07 | 0:21:09 | |
A tin roof replaced the thatch which needed | 0:21:09 | 0:21:11 | |
regular and costly repair. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:19 | |
TRANSLATION: I'm happy because I'm not using any more money on my roof. | 0:21:19 | 0:21:22 | |
I can use it to buy my close, food, pay school fees and other expenses. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:27 | |
Others use the lump sum to buy cattle, fertiliser, seed. | 0:21:27 | 0:21:32 | |
After five years of detailed research here into how people | 0:21:32 | 0:21:35 | |
spend their free money, there's little evidence | 0:21:35 | 0:21:37 | |
it is wasted or abused. | 0:21:37 | 0:21:41 | |
And there's plenty of proof to show it's being used to reduce poverty | 0:21:41 | 0:21:44 | |
and make a difference in humanitarian crisis. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:46 | |

How ready are we to fly to the moon and back for a holiday? | 0:21:49 | 0:21:54 | |
Well, the prospect of space tourism has moved a little closer this week, | 0:21:54 | 0:22:01 | |
after an American aerospace company SpaceX has said it has room for two | 0:22:01 | 0:22:04 | |
passengers on its next mission 2018. | 0:22:04 | 0:22:05 | |
This would be the first manned flight to deep space | 0:22:05 | 0:22:07 | |
in more than 40 years, although it would involve | 0:22:07 | 0:22:10 | |
a lunar landing as such. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:11 | |
There's a catch. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:12 | |
It's going to cost you $100 million a seat. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:16 | |
Our science editor, David Shukman has been to find out more. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:20 | |
A SpaceX promotion. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:23 | |
Bold and often boastful, this young company knows how | 0:22:23 | 0:22:26 | |
to whip up excitement. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:31 | |
The rocket is the Falcon Heavy. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:33 | |
It's yet to be launched. | 0:22:33 | 0:22:35 | |
This is an animation, but already, two tourists | 0:22:35 | 0:22:37 | |
have been promised seats | 0:22:37 | 0:22:39 | |
on it to fly around the moon as early as next year. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:42 | |
Not since the last Apollo mission, back in 1972, have any humans flown | 0:22:42 | 0:22:45 | |
anywhere near the moon. | 0:22:45 | 0:22:50 | |
The tourists will not be landing on it, but if this trip happens then | 0:22:50 | 0:22:53 | |
they will get amazing views, and space scientists | 0:22:53 | 0:22:55 | |
say this is plausible. | 0:22:55 | 0:23:00 | |
We are really now entering the era where space | 0:23:00 | 0:23:04 | |
tourism is a possability. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:05 | |
In fact, a probability. | 0:23:05 | 0:23:08 | |
Maybe not for another 10, 15, 20 years, | 0:23:08 | 0:23:12 | |
for ordinary people to afford it. | 0:23:12 | 0:23:13 | |
It will be the playground of the rich. | 0:23:13 | 0:23:19 | |
The man behind SpaceX is Elon Musk. | 0:23:19 | 0:23:21 | |
When I met him he spilled out a startling vision | 0:23:21 | 0:23:23 | |
of travel beyond Earth. | 0:23:23 | 0:23:24 | |
I think we are really entering a new era of space travel | 0:23:24 | 0:23:27 | |
that's very exciting. | 0:23:27 | 0:23:28 | |
There is a history of SpaceX promises running late | 0:23:28 | 0:23:30 | |
but eventually being delivered. | 0:23:30 | 0:23:36 | |
Ten days ago, it landed | 0:23:36 | 0:23:37 | |
a huge rocket, significant because reusing spacecraft | 0:23:37 | 0:23:39 | |
will make launches cheaper. | 0:23:39 | 0:23:42 | |
Last year, one of its rocket blew up, but SpaceX quickly got | 0:23:42 | 0:23:45 | |
back to its key business of launching satellites. | 0:23:45 | 0:23:46 | |
This week, its Dragon capsule delivered cargo | 0:23:46 | 0:23:48 | |
to the International Space Station. | 0:23:49 | 0:23:53 | |
A trip to the moon is obviously harder, and critics say it | 0:23:53 | 0:23:56 | |
would just be a joyride. | 0:23:56 | 0:23:58 | |
Well, it's going to give two rich people a thrill of a lifetime. | 0:23:58 | 0:24:01 | |
It's not anything to do with science or exploration. | 0:24:01 | 0:24:05 | |
It's repeating missions that have been done 40 plus years before, | 0:24:05 | 0:24:10 | |
so it's basically an adventure, a thrill ride that | 0:24:10 | 0:24:15 | |
demonstrates a new capability. | 0:24:15 | 0:24:16 | |
I love space. | 0:24:16 | 0:24:17 | |
So, how much will it cost? | 0:24:17 | 0:24:20 | |
Well, tourists visiting the International Space Station have | 0:24:20 | 0:24:23 | |
paid at least $20 million each. | 0:24:23 | 0:24:25 | |
A moon trip would be much more. | 0:24:25 | 0:24:28 | |
We don't know who the two passengers are, but if they get there, | 0:24:28 | 0:24:31 | |
they may pave the way for others to follow. | 0:24:31 | 0:24:34 | |
