to lebanon in paths to peace. over seven years, 6 million refugees have fled the devastation in syria. children make up more than a third of that number. many have witnessed horrifying tragedies, but even in the grimmest of circumstances, there is hope. i have been invited to the beqaa valley in lebanon to meet some extraordinary young refugee musicians who are being given a once—in—a—lifetime chance to perform in lebanon's capital beirut.

music is the secret of life! yeah, aww, that's right! laughs. where i am driving now has been described as one of the most beautiful places on earth. it was the breadbasket of the roman empire and it has been home to some of the world's greatest civilisations. but over the past few years it has

also seen the passage of over 1 million syrian refugees. and half of those are children, and many of them are very, very traumatised. we are coming down to beqaa valley itself now, and there are some formal camps here, but there are over 3000 settlements in lebanon, just where refugees have come and tried to make a home. is it ok for the lebanese? because you have got a lot of refugees here. yeah. of course it is ok, no problem. they are your neighbours, i guess, so you have to welcome them in. yeah. and we are very close to the border here, the syrian border. yes, from here to damascus is about 25 minutes. really. yeah, it is near. gosh, gosh.

as we get closer to the syrian border, towns become crowded with refugees. lining streets, desperate for work. i am just a few minutes from the syrian border here, and damascus isjust beyond me, over those mountains. this is a little cultural centre, the action for hope cultural centre where kids and young people will come from camps right across the country, every weekend, to learn music. plays instrument. the music school is run by professional musicians as well as by volunteers. most of them refugees themselves.

hi. hi, i am bettany. hi! nice to see you! hello hello! thank you so much for letting me come here. thank you, would you like to see the school? i would love to. thank you. i have seen some students, how many do you have here, how many students? 24. and they come every weekend? i can hear some drumming. what else do you teach them? saxophone, singing, oud, bouzouk, tambour, the cello, violina... i know some of the kids here have had a very tough time before they came — does it help them coming here, do you think? i think they are very happy here, all the children. the organisers believe that music is one of the most powerful tools in combating trauma in young people. and here is the school ensemble, practising in the centre's

kitchen ahead of a big performance in beirut. heba, the group's drummer, who wants to be a lawyer, never misses a beat.

heba's house is in fact a plastic hut. she lives here with her family in the camp, a short bus ride from the school. here, since the outbreak of war, as for many children, a makeshift camp has become a permanent home. thank you. hello, hi. hi, i'm bettany! lovely to see you. should i take my shoes off? 0h! it must be hard knowing that your home is there, and you can't go back.

why did you have to leave damascus, because you lived in damascus in syria, didn't you? when you were living in syria, was music a big part of your life then?

do you think music can help to bring lots of people together as a society, as a community? and what do you remember about damascus, what do you remember about syria ? and are you looking forward to going back, do you want to go back?

education for these kids is the only thing between them and a life on the margins of society. music mightjust help restore a sense of self—worth and belonging, and introduce them to a profession that could be of real practical benefit. these camps, spread across the valley, were supposed to be temporary, but as the years have passed, the makeshift tents have become permanent homes. thank you, bye heba, see you! goodbye.

well, what an extraordinary privilege to be welcomed into that home. but isn't itjust heartbreaking that the one thing that heba and her mum and her sister and her little siblings want to do is to go back home, and see their loved ones. and home isjust there, you can see it's just beyond the mountains, but they know they can't get back there safely. but at least they think that music is something that they have taken from this experience, one tiny, tiny fragment of a silver lining. i am going back to the music school to listen more closely to what is being taught to the students, who attend music classes here every weekend. the children are from different places — most are syrians, some lebanese from areas of the beqaa, and some palestinian refugees from camps in beirut.

what they have in common is their love for music. it is this which brings a sense of focus and unity, in what is otherwise a splintered existence. one of the phrases that psychologists use to describe really serious trauma is "soul torture." you think, looking at classes like this, that this is a scheme which mends souls, but also actually allows souls to sing again. saxophone plays.

this is ibrahim, from aleppo in syria. he's been learning the accordion for two years, helping him to overcome the trauma of losing close family relatives during the war. hello — sorry to interrupt! this sounds fantastic, ibrahim, beautiful, amazing. wow. do you want to carry on playing the accordion when you return home? do you think coming here and learning about the beauty of music, does that give you more hope for the future?

well, thank you for bringing us the music. it's beautiful, it certainly makes us very happy. ibrahim, thank you, shukraan. music has been used by humankind right across the centuries. the ancient chinese advocated art therapy 2,500 years before the turks invented it. in this region, hospitals often used music as a balm for their patients to heal trauma, whether it was physical or mental. what's really interesting is now science is catching up with the lived historical experience. so cutting edge research tells us that listening to music increases neural pathways,

that it can boost the immune system, and that it can even reduce pain levels. so it seems as though music is a potent prescription for harmony of all kinds. music plays a huge part in abdul‘s young life. for him, music is not only a reminder of home. it is home. abdul often plays with his father, iman, who wants him to remember that music from their homeland is some of the oldest in recorded history.

syrians have watched with pain the destruction of their physical heritage, but their music lives on. iman graduated from the higher institute of music in damascus. i wanted to talk to him to understand how music helps bind his family together. hello! hello, how lovely. thank you so much. how are you? i am very well, how are you? iam iman. betta ny, thank you. hello again! hi, how are you doing? you look really smart,

you look fantastic! for you, why was it the right time for you to take your family out of syria? do you think it helped your family as well, the fact that your family are all musicians too? do you think it helped your son and your other children to survive the trauma of having to leave syria?

and do you find, if you ever feel sad or stressed yourself, does it make you more happy as well, to play your music and to live in the world of music? that's right! i know, it's a very beautiful thing.

on a friday night back in beirut, it's time for the school's ensemble to showcase their skills in front of a live audience. the event is part of an arts festival, and our young musicians have been given a primetime slot. for some, this promises to be a once—in—a—lifetime opportunity to show their talents to the world. music.

singing in arabic. applause.

well done, well done! that was fantastic. that was quite something. so, you've got a bunch of kids a very long way from home performing in an abandoned factory in downtown beirut. a whole crowd that they've never met before, giving them the time of their lives. if that doesn't tell you about the power of music, i don't know what does. that was so good, guys! that was fantastic, well done. it was brilliant, the audience couldn't stop clapping. and the dancing was great, too. and are you going to keep on playing music now, do you think?

if you watched that room tonight, everybody was clapping and dancing and listening. why do you think music brings people together? these children have endured one of the most brutal of wars. and witnessed things in their short lives that few adults ever will. no—one can know what their future holds, but at least now

there is a chance that music will be a part of it.

the story of the weather so far is the weather fronts, an area of cloud and rain spreading east across the uk. for many our skies have been like this. you may have had a bit of rain but once the front moves through you are likely to see some sunshine coming back before the day. that means you will be behind us at the front. the of this weather front we have seen hazy sunshine in the east lifting the temperature to 29 celsius, the highest the uk have had so celsius, the highest the uk have had so far this year. as we go on through this evening we will see thicker cloud and at least a chance ofa thicker cloud and at least a chance of a few showers arriving. this area of a few showers arriving. this area of cloud and shout is a weather front, to the east of that it is quite hot and humid. behind that you get increasing sunshine to end the day but temperatures are in the teens. it is quite breezy and feeling quite fresh. those are the showers clearing from the southeast this evening. showers push into
