and most of the. there's the top stories you stay with us one i want looks at india's child geniuses next i finished. and monday pointed on the. u.s. and british companies have announced the biggest discovery of natural gas in west africa but what to do with these untapped natural resources is already a source of heated debate nothing much has changed they still spend most of their days looking forward to from dry river beds like this one five years on the syrians still feel battered or even those who managed to escape their country haven't truly been able to escape the lure.

of the good. five million indian children have genius level i.q. but their talents too often go undiscovered. in one of the world's most populous nation the lack of education and opportunities holds them back. now hope has come to india slow. a team of academics is taking on the challenge of finding diamonds in the rough. i'm steve cho on this edition of one of one east we meet india's young geniuses dreaming of their

chance to shine. no no no. it's amazing in kids in an urban slum up with caring for a new day. it looks and sounds like a construction site. but it's a school. and. these are the kids a brick show drivers made in my garage. and today one or two of them could get a big step up in life. they're about to sit an exam designed by mensa the world's oldest high i.q. society. and they're here to see if they can discover a genius kid from the slum just.

give me your take i think you get the name would be more on hand if that would be good should be good or your top two percent name beard doing a lot. coming. sure a stana minutes a scholar person is hoping this test will uncover a brilliant mind. may otherwise be lost. five to six million children under privileged who have an i.q. over one third. so we're trying to locate uncut diamonds in this all my you know people over here and if we can get some we'll try to polish them up for those who get elected their lives with you. passing the test is just the beginning. if a genius is found a win a scholarship at a school usually only the privileged can ask him. what that means to get her to

a nice school. for children every day. what would you like to be one day i learn. when you. are put in minute will a go at best question. is the giftedness of being logical basically it is about identifying a pattern. he's looking for kids with the same i.q. is hillary clinton thomas edison even follow us turn on. if you don't we are spending more difficult questions. because you have very little. time there are pencils down pencil down vacuous i broke just blows your bookmarked because your answer sheet. there were some mixed feelings as the kids pack up.

that is but the girl who wants to be a police officer is confident. i don't love each. other while the others are. still on our block. so put your hand up if you're going to tell me i'm a genius and that. i'm now it's a waiting game. we've got more now more dangerous is there are. in a week i'll find out if any of these kids will get the chance to leave this roadside school.

the start of the search for kids with high i.q. is just one year ago. it's part of a much bigger quest as india tries to leave did so fuck to become a leader. and this is where the transition from slum kid to school that takes place . this is the special school they get access to if they see the mensa test. but it's tough keeping good grades is only the start of the challenges facing. them and guide them. by their soldiers when they become leaders anything we want i mean there are raw material waiting to be morbid and that is why it's very very important. that and this is one of my. more is the road that you read to pos one is one of mensa's

geniuses only twelve years old she tested with an i.q. of one forty five a school that means she's exceptionally gifted medical political b.s. on a lower gear how many you. can say about give her time apart but again men so hard just don't know. it was that it was ok. it was last year she made a big leap moving from a school in a tent to proper listens taught anti leaning glitch. missed the bus at a. new school. give a big hurdle to get the word out school got good matches well you feel good english made them all well and good can be good no less so there was going to glorify him but i. was going don't let my job it does me i

remember as he goes it was. it was. meant to be my doctor but were you remember so sick at home hunted and symbols that. he. was. going to sixty or his. next door in an eighth grade class the newly discovered genius is showing up the rest of the students. there are the subjects scientists say. is best get by with the bible if the member for the board will thought there was a board that taliban so making it. can be no. that's not my fault i'm sorry to sound like. found to have an i.q.

of one thirty five. he's just four points short of neil armstrong in his footsteps she hopes to follow. her. but these genius kids are under constant threat. they can potentially lose their scholarship if they don't perform well enough. but. then you can be born a genius and that was a. genius. and. the pressure is relentless at school and also at home.

to this in a migrant neighborhood. spies to be. all the women around to work as domestic servants. have finished high school let alone a medical degree. and all of the. time or. it's for. vanilla sources for what they are but this is a lot like you just said got in the saddle to see a look at the scene for a look some of the medical that is if you're lucky that which one said to me thanks . there's a lot of love here there's also a lot riding lead to his cleverness the mother and sister were both married off young and both very minds have been shaped by traditional jujubes which they don't

want for richard. boys in the near the here from over there is a good. marriage but there are medical torah catelli are born with a helper mother. so it's a myth yes a life is in need of genius a rare their modern art. though material sawyer that they're born american similarly are looking at it but then they are called a trivial. peril snare at the saw room. for a miracle that our. mom is pinning the entire family's future only twelve year old all because of her gift. to hear my live he he.

walked through all. it all. least. a few. oh yeah. you know. when you need everybody give. so for these are the you with. the hopes and dreams of two generations are riding on retunes shoulder.

the time is see here different got there but i missed something up where i got by. by that name miller at the filmmakers of. every parent worries what will become of that child. for girls in india security comes from marriage which means many genius goals battled their parents just to stay in school. the more challenges are coming from the society from the family they come from because what them they are educated they need to find a good match for marriage the principle admits it can take more work educating parents than it can the school up. you know one better than don't understand himself that i wanted to give it up during the time when he. did i mean they look at how they market.

in the constant struggle to make ends meet it can be difficult for families to see a child's role beyond their duty to the family. to fourteen year old bhatia a budding astronauts claim is a place she tries to avoid. it means returning to a world where life is ruled by poverty not possibilities. don't do no. harm but are. both going to claim. that. you know you don't have to make. things. worse than i am only saying. oh yes

well that's highly funny and. because of his drinking her father can't hold down a job. rush is constantly worried she'll have to drop out of school to work the luckier the make up of her. and with little time to study the scholarship inspired thread something her family doesn't seem to grasp. they support you in your dreams. and thought they might be one with women but among. boyd their dad. or is based around about the one who wants their bones and want the one with a minor. she

says she wants to be an astronaut or. you know she has an i.q. . of apollo astronauts and her family don't realize. but india's genius kids don't face this journey alone. varsha has a mentor a woman who has climbed to the top of the professional world and is guiding the way . i see that she is one of those little girls from childhood they're very clear what they want to do in life. the relook at the new media her. argument that

because it's really about you this is sub is like eighty brought together by mensa she's a role model to confined in and today she's arranged a surprise do you overshadowed. by and russia do you know if you. mr edgerton rod is an astronomer was. you like astronomy because that seems you choice of a few things. so yeah. the comedian astronomy is a chance most kids in history will never get. really it's humongous it's such a slum and. that's what this have to say. this is like a light bucket if you like it just collects the light and then. all the light collects over here tonight there's a super moon and bhatia the astronaut hopefully is getting her very first glimpse

first time her dream feels real. john the naked but the real some of the master card but not sure you want to do when there's a warning and i want to put a card on this basement that space based on the phone he told me they decided they needed to dig through. the ball with the me i knew something people in the same dream a reality me all. day want to support it. since i don't know what's in store for vosh. in four years to be among the first mensa scholars to graduate in the pantheon that is a plea but she's already tasted a very different future. even if her family don't realise it's possible.

before leaving india there's one last thing i need to do. it's been seven days since menses last round of testing and i want to know if a new genius could be about to start a journey of their own. to harm their output firstly i pop. here. we are. now. on time server will be a man thought bob best misaka but true in the. seven high scores out of fifty who were tested. but is anyone scored high enough to be deemed a genius. a charge a snake. head north. on every log thank you no they are. scoring in the ninety ninth

they can utilize that just knowing that makes a difference. in node there's a long road ahead. he's about to face challenges that may be more difficult than the life he has known. the opportunities that come with them. who've been worth it. once held in one of australia's toughest detention centers now a world renowned surgeon one of when he's follows dr moon. as returns to his hometown baghdad to give up beauties the hope of walking again at this time on al-jazeera.
