Hi everyone, I'm Joe your with Newsround. Coming up in the next

five minutes. First, to Syria where charities say hundreds of thousands

:00:21.:00:23.

of children are going hungry, and without proper shelter in freezing

:00:23.:00:26.

conditions. Since war broke out nearly two years ago, many have

:00:26.:00:29.

been forced to live in refugee camps in the middle eastern country

:00:29.:00:32.

and nearby regions. But fighting and fuel shortages are stopping aid

:00:32.:00:35.

from getting in. Here's Ricky. Ines and her family were forced to

:00:35.:00:38.

leave Syria 6 months ago and this tent in the neighbouring country of

:00:38.:00:48.
:00:48.:00:50.

Lebanon is now home. Her story is a familiar one. Now we are feeling

:00:50.:00:54.

cold, we sit next to the stove and my brothers and sisters are feeling

:00:54.:00:58.

cold. There is flooding so we can't go out any more.

:00:58.:01:01.

The Since the war began in Syria in March 2011, hundreds of thousands

:01:01.:01:04.

of children like Ines have been forced to leave their homes and

:01:04.:01:07.

seek shelter in refugee camps. They rely on aid from organisations to

:01:07.:01:10.

survive. One of those is the United Nations world food programme -

:01:10.:01:17.

they've warned that one million people are still being left hungry.

:01:17.:01:23.

Bakeries that produce the bread have been damaged in the fighting,

:01:23.:01:27.

the bakers don't have the fuel to power the machinery they need to

:01:27.:01:31.

produce the bread. Lack of food isn't the only worry.

:01:31.:01:34.

Temperatures are freezing and it's snowing in many places. Mohamed

:01:34.:01:37.

works for the charity, Save the Children in the Zaatari refugee

:01:37.:01:45.

camp in Jordan, where lots of Syrians have fled. Less and less

:01:45.:01:49.

children are going to school because it is tough for them to

:01:49.:01:53.

face the severe weather conditions. Some of the refugees came into

:01:53.:01:59.

Jordan in the summer with a few items. These items are not suitable

:01:59.:02:02.

for the winter. A million people without food and

:02:02.:02:05.

proper shelter, in freezing weather - the situation is desperate. But

:02:05.:02:08.

aid agencies say that money alone won't solve the problem - only an

:02:08.:02:12.

end to the fighting in Syria will help these people.

:02:12.:02:15.

So with a million people going hungry in those refugee camps, it's

:02:15.:02:19.

all the more shocking that a report out today says we may be wasting

:02:19.:02:22.

half of all the food that we grow or make. The Institute for

:02:22.:02:25.

Mechanical Engineers says between 30 and 50% of all food produced in

:02:25.:02:32.

the world never reaches a human stomach. Some food experts say is

:02:32.:02:35.

impossible to be sure how much is lost, but the report blames poor

:02:35.:02:37.

storage, and shops rejecting imperfect fruit and veg as two

:02:37.:02:44.

major causes. You've been telling us what you

:02:44.:02:48.

think about this on the website. Richard in Hitchin says: "At school

:02:48.:02:52.

we have two big bins and by the end of lunch there is so much waste in

:02:52.:02:55.

them. I hate looking in them." Kelly in London told us: "In our

:02:55.:02:59.

house we don't waste a lot of food but the food we do throw out is

:02:59.:03:02.

often vegetables, fruits and foods that generally run out of date

:03:02.:03:08.

quickly." Thanks for those, guys. Join me later on today at our new

:03:08.:03:11.

time of 6.50 for a full report into the problem, including what's being

:03:11.:03:16.

done to try and stop the waste. OK - it's another big day in the

:03:16.:03:18.

showbiz calendar. The nominations for the Brit Awards will be

:03:18.:03:21.

announced later this evening, and Leah is down in London at the event

:03:21.:03:31.

right now. Are you excited? I am very excited. It is absolutely

:03:31.:03:37.

chaotic down here. The world's media are here and I am joined by

:03:37.:03:43.

Paloma faith. Are you excited about the Brits? Really excited. It is a

:03:43.:03:48.

wonderful atmosphere. It is scary and daunting to know he will be

:03:48.:03:55.

here and who is nominated. Emily is tipped to do very well. What are

:03:55.:04:01.

your thoughts? I think she is wonderful. When I heard her first

:04:01.:04:07.

single I was like, she is amazing. She has done so well and has had a

:04:07.:04:12.

brilliant year. She is a lovely girl. This time last year, Emily

:04:12.:04:18.

was the Critics' Choice award, this year we have Tom. Do you know much

:04:18.:04:25.

about him? He is a lovely boy. He is lovely. I am impressed with his

:04:25.:04:31.

sound? People say he sounds like Chris Martin. I don't know. I don't

:04:31.:04:37.

like to make comparisons. People are who they are themselves but I

:04:37.:04:41.

watched him on YouTube and I thought he was brilliant. Fantastic.

:04:41.:04:46.

Thank you for joining us on the red carpet. Back to the studio.

:04:46.:04:49.

Just enough time to tell you about the Oscar nominations this

:04:49.:04:52.
