:00:25. > :00:33.The world's biggest refugee camp getting bigger every day. We have

:00:33. > :00:38.this report from Kenya. A five- year-old girl who has become an

:00:38. > :00:48.iconic change for the Arab Spring in Yemen. And the priest to does

:00:53. > :00:59.atheist. Welcome. The world's largest refugee camp

:00:59. > :01:06.continues to grow as those fleeing hunger in Somalia arrive in Dadaab.

:01:06. > :01:09.The UN estimates around 1,300 to 1,500 refugees cross every day.

:01:09. > :01:15.More than 12 million people in Africa are in need of immediate

:01:15. > :01:20.food aid and that includes nearly half of the Somali population. Our

:01:20. > :01:27.reporter has been with us on 20 Diez and has reported on famines

:01:27. > :01:31.and their impact. He says this report from the Dadaab refugee camp,

:01:31. > :01:34.already home to thousands of refugees who fled the civil war in

:01:35. > :01:39.the 1980s. You probably could not choose a

:01:39. > :01:46.worse place to establish a refugee camp. The edge of the desert. It is

:01:46. > :01:51.hot, dusty and in the middle of nowhere. It can take hours to

:01:51. > :01:57.collect firewood or water. Days and weeks to get here from Somalia. The

:01:57. > :02:03.epicentre of the crisis. The journey alone that leaves thousands

:02:03. > :02:09.week and are susceptible. This four-year old has been here for

:02:09. > :02:15.months and she is still underweight. But her and ammonia is no surprise

:02:15. > :02:23.given the overcrowded an sanitary conditions. -- and ammonia. It

:02:23. > :02:33.would be bad for any child but if a malnourished child gets it, the

:02:33. > :02:37.

:02:37. > :02:43.immunity is compromised. They get more severe forms of it. Last month

:02:43. > :02:52.alone, this can be absorbed some 40,000 refugees. That is twice the

:02:52. > :02:57.number of asylum seekers Britain absorbed in the whole of last year.

:02:57. > :03:01.It is a measure of the severity of the crisis that it is almost a

:03:01. > :03:06.relief to find children who are simply malnourished and not

:03:06. > :03:15.skeletal. This man wishes he could offer help inside Somalia and

:03:15. > :03:21.blames decades of conflict for making that so difficult.

:03:21. > :03:25.conflict of Somalia for over 20 years is to blame. If there was

:03:25. > :03:32.peace, there would be helping their own country. So now they face

:03:32. > :03:36.drought and famine and they have nothing. Every day, he goes out to

:03:36. > :03:46.find it more families who have fled across the border. These are all

:03:46. > :03:47.

:03:47. > :03:51.very new dwellings? Yes. Just arrived. He heard about this family.

:03:51. > :03:57.They sold their land so they could pay for their journey here. Could

:03:57. > :04:03.you ask her what life in Somalia or in her village is like.

:04:03. > :04:09.TRANSLATION: I believe is dead. I am confused. Here, there are plenty

:04:09. > :04:15.of people but I do not know anybody. We found out she had given birth to

:04:15. > :04:20.twins on the journey. But there was only one infant in a makeshift

:04:21. > :04:28.shelter. The other child had died. She called him either him. Every

:04:28. > :04:33.child must have a name, she says. Three out of every four people you

:04:33. > :04:37.see have nothing to do with the current crisis. In some cases, they

:04:37. > :04:41.have been collecting rations like this for a decade of more. It is a

:04:41. > :04:47.graphic reminder that there is a deeper problem at work than this

:04:47. > :04:53.year's drought alone. This massive aid operation sustains 300,000

:04:53. > :05:00.people who fled the Somali conflict of the 1990s. They have never gone

:05:00. > :05:07.back. They need help but are not starving. It begs the question, is

:05:07. > :05:17.all of this aid solving a problem or simply prolonging it? This

:05:17. > :05:17.

:05:17. > :05:25.person has been here since 1992. will have to go back home. Some

:05:26. > :05:29.will die but others will find a solution. Over the years, parts of

:05:29. > :05:35.Dadaab refugee camp have begun to look more and more like a town.

:05:35. > :05:41.There are markets, mechanics, even a two. It has its own economy,

:05:41. > :05:47.driven in part by aid that flows in. Refugees sell part of their ration

:05:47. > :05:53.and spend what they get at one shop with other traders. TRANSLATION: Of

:05:53. > :06:00.course it would be better to run our business in our own country.

:06:00. > :06:04.But there is a war going on in Somalia. And the failure to solve

:06:04. > :06:10.Somalia's deep-seated crisis drives a new generation across the border.

:06:10. > :06:17.Another mother building another shelter in this no-man's-land of

:06:17. > :06:21.hopelessness. Police in Karachi have made it

:06:21. > :06:25.nearly 60 a breasts to crackdown on ethnic violence. The Pakistani city

:06:25. > :06:32.has a population of around 18 million cover of which about one-

:06:32. > :06:38.third are migrants. Their differences are with the majority

:06:38. > :06:41.and the violence has killed around 300 people in the past month alone.

:06:42. > :06:47.These people are trying to come to terms with the violence that

:06:47. > :06:54.suddenly changed their lives. Over recent weeks, people from the area

:06:54. > :06:58.have been killed just because of their ethnicity. This person tells

:06:58. > :07:07.us how his 16-year-old brother was abducted while selling sunglasses.

:07:07. > :07:12.His body was found hours later. He had been tortured and shot. This

:07:12. > :07:17.man's brother was also killed. He takes us as close as he dares to

:07:17. > :07:23.what has become a new battle zone. This is a community of ethnic

:07:23. > :07:27.Pashtuns of Italy from north-west Pakistan. Across the main road,

:07:27. > :07:36.there is a community of good news because who say they have often

:07:36. > :07:42.been fired on by gunmen. Front lines like this have opened up

:07:42. > :07:45.across the vast city. The two ethnic groups are driven by the

:07:45. > :07:51.political parties that claim to represent them and are now engaged

:07:51. > :07:58.in a fierce fight over control of Karachi. It is a fight that is

:07:58. > :08:01.often bitter -- that has often pitted neighbour against neighbour.

:08:02. > :08:05.In this household, the armed attackers came from next door. The

:08:05. > :08:11.gunmen streamed into the home and terrorised the family and looted

:08:11. > :08:16.the place. The family fled as it came under gunfire. You can see the

:08:16. > :08:26.bullet holes along the wall. The home was then set on fire. These

:08:26. > :08:36.

:08:36. > :08:42.neighbours were from different ethnic groups. In this area, is is

:08:42. > :08:46.the Urdu speaking people terorrised. This woman was shot while she tried

:08:46. > :08:50.to take her brother and sister to safety. Children have to learn

:08:50. > :08:56.quickly here about the ethnic divide. TRANSLATION: Al people

:09:00. > :09:05.- our people. A hatred has grown so much that our children do not want

:09:05. > :09:10.to meet people from the other side. As more areas get marked out by the

:09:10. > :09:16.groups they belong to, there is a fear of more polite shedding to

:09:16. > :09:21.come. There is continuing political

:09:21. > :09:26.instability in Yemen. The President remains in Saudi Arabia where he is

:09:26. > :09:30.recovering from an assassination attempt in June. Humanitarian

:09:30. > :09:34.agencies warned the country is close to humanitarian disaster. The

:09:34. > :09:38.economy has all but collapsed, forcing the Yemen people into

:09:39. > :09:48.greater hardship. Since the Arab Spring began last December, our

:09:49. > :09:59.

:09:59. > :10:03.reporter has followed protests in This portrait has found its way to

:10:03. > :10:10.the mansion of a wealthy opposition leader who buys the work of the

:10:10. > :10:15.artist to support the protest. The subject of the painting is not an

:10:15. > :10:20.imaginary character. She is a will girl whose life of struggle

:10:20. > :10:26.inspired the artist. Only five years of age, she spends her days

:10:26. > :10:33.collecting empty plastic bottles to help to feed her family. When she

:10:33. > :10:39.found out an artist had painted her she tracked him down. She went to

:10:39. > :10:44.his studio and persuaded him to teach her to draw. Now this

:10:44. > :10:50.makeshift shelter is her only school and drawing is her only

:10:50. > :10:57.escape. She tells me she is inspired by revolution and draws a

:10:57. > :11:07.bride holding their national flag, showing the revolution sign. She

:11:07. > :11:09.

:11:09. > :11:15.also hopes change is coming. Home is a single room shared with four

:11:15. > :11:19.siblings, mother and father. Her mother is only 25 and is expecting

:11:19. > :11:29.another baby but they cannot afford to see a doctor and she will have

:11:29. > :11:33.the baby at term. The revolution has given them something new: Hope.

:11:33. > :11:40.TRANSLATION: Thank God, people demanded change. We were on the

:11:40. > :11:46.edge. We are so poor and nearly became homeless. There is no-one to

:11:46. > :11:52.protect us and we had almost lost hope. This is a typical family in

:11:52. > :11:56.Yemen are earning less than $5 a day, not enough to buy one meal to

:11:56. > :12:03.feed the whole family. They hope the revolution will bring about

:12:03. > :12:08.real change for them. Now to the Netherlands, one of Europe's most

:12:08. > :12:15.secular societies. People are leaving the mainstream Dutch

:12:15. > :12:25.Protestant Church at the rate of $65,000 per year. Faith also seems

:12:25. > :12:26.

:12:26. > :12:36.to be deserting some members of the clergy. We went to the south-west

:12:36. > :12:37.

:13:30. > :13:36.Protestant Church have failed because his views are too widely

:13:36. > :13:45.held. For me, it frees me from the normal views because he is using

:13:45. > :13:50.the Bible in a rhetorical way. Progressive clergy are virtually

:13:50. > :13:56.reinventing Christianity. They are determined that the Netherlands,

:13:56. > :14:00.rather than become a graveyard for Christianity, should become its

:14:00. > :14:10.laboratory and experiment with radically new ways of understanding

:14:26. > :14:32.way 2,000 years ago as you can today. It means something different.

:14:32. > :14:40.We can use the same words but say something totally different. Groups

:14:40. > :14:50.such as Stroom West also question whether Jesus was the son of God.

:15:45. > :15:49.Winning hearts and minds with cartoons, the latest attempt by the

:16:32. > :16:38.to get its message across. It is difficult for international people

:16:44. > :16:51.in some places. We offer information to give a coherent and

:16:55. > :16:59.by the Mexican government to highlight these excesses of its

:16:59. > :17:04.fight against organised crime seems to have little resonance with those

:17:04. > :17:13.living in the areas most affected by the violence who have

:17:13. > :17:18.experienced the bloodiness of this conflict in their own lives. No-one
