The world's biggest refugee camp getting bigger every day. We have | :00:25. | :00:33. | |
this report from Kenya. A five- year-old girl who has become an | :00:33. | :00:38. | |
iconic change for the Arab Spring in Yemen. And the priest to does | :00:38. | :00:48. | |

atheist. Welcome. The world's largest refugee camp | :00:53. | :00:59. | |
continues to grow as those fleeing hunger in Somalia arrive in Dadaab. | :00:59. | :01:06. | |
The UN estimates around 1,300 to 1,500 refugees cross every day. | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
More than 12 million people in Africa are in need of immediate | :01:09. | :01:15. | |
food aid and that includes nearly half of the Somali population. Our | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
reporter has been with us on 20 Diez and has reported on famines | :01:20. | :01:27. | |
and their impact. He says this report from the Dadaab refugee camp, | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
already home to thousands of refugees who fled the civil war in | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
the 1980s. You probably could not choose a | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
worse place to establish a refugee camp. The edge of the desert. It is | :01:39. | :01:46. | |
hot, dusty and in the middle of nowhere. It can take hours to | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
collect firewood or water. Days and weeks to get here from Somalia. The | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
epicentre of the crisis. The journey alone that leaves thousands | :01:57. | :02:03. | |
week and are susceptible. This four-year old has been here for | :02:03. | :02:09. | |
months and she is still underweight. But her and ammonia is no surprise | :02:09. | :02:15. | |
given the overcrowded an sanitary conditions. -- and ammonia. It | :02:15. | :02:23. | |
would be bad for any child but if a malnourished child gets it, the | :02:23. | :02:33. | |
:02:33. | :02:37. | ||
immunity is compromised. They get more severe forms of it. Last month | :02:37. | :02:43. | |
alone, this can be absorbed some 40,000 refugees. That is twice the | :02:43. | :02:52. | |
number of asylum seekers Britain absorbed in the whole of last year. | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
It is a measure of the severity of the crisis that it is almost a | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
relief to find children who are simply malnourished and not | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
skeletal. This man wishes he could offer help inside Somalia and | :03:06. | :03:15. | |
blames decades of conflict for making that so difficult. | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
conflict of Somalia for over 20 years is to blame. If there was | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
peace, there would be helping their own country. So now they face | :03:25. | :03:32. | |
drought and famine and they have nothing. Every day, he goes out to | :03:32. | :03:36. | |

very new dwellings? Yes. Just arrived. He heard about this family. | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
They sold their land so they could pay for their journey here. Could | :03:51. | :03:57. | |
you ask her what life in Somalia or in her village is like. | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
TRANSLATION: I believe is dead. I am confused. Here, there are plenty | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
of people but I do not know anybody. We found out she had given birth to | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
twins on the journey. But there was only one infant in a makeshift | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
shelter. The other child had died. She called him either him. Every | :04:21. | :04:28. | |
child must have a name, she says. Three out of every four people you | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
see have nothing to do with the current crisis. In some cases, they | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
have been collecting rations like this for a decade of more. It is a | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
graphic reminder that there is a deeper problem at work than this | :04:41. | :04:47. | |
year's drought alone. This massive aid operation sustains 300,000 | :04:47. | :04:53. | |
people who fled the Somali conflict of the 1990s. They have never gone | :04:53. | :05:00. | |
back. They need help but are not starving. It begs the question, is | :05:00. | :05:07. | |
all of this aid solving a problem or simply prolonging it? This | :05:07. | :05:17. | |

person has been here since 1992. will have to go back home. Some | :05:17. | :05:25. | |
will die but others will find a solution. Over the years, parts of | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
Dadaab refugee camp have begun to look more and more like a town. | :05:29. | :05:35. | |
There are markets, mechanics, even a two. It has its own economy, | :05:35. | :05:41. | |
driven in part by aid that flows in. Refugees sell part of their ration | :05:41. | :05:47. | |
and spend what they get at one shop with other traders. TRANSLATION: Of | :05:47. | :05:53. | |
course it would be better to run our business in our own country. | :05:53. | :06:00. | |
But there is a war going on in Somalia. And the failure to solve | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
Somalia's deep-seated crisis drives a new generation across the border. | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
Another mother building another shelter in this no-man's-land of | :06:10. | :06:17. | |
hopelessness. Police in Karachi have made it | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
nearly 60 a breasts to crackdown on ethnic violence. The Pakistani city | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
has a population of around 18 million cover of which about one- | :06:25. | :06:32. | |
third are migrants. Their differences are with the majority | :06:32. | :06:38. | |
and the violence has killed around 300 people in the past month alone. | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
These people are trying to come to terms with the violence that | :06:42. | :06:47. | |
suddenly changed their lives. Over recent weeks, people from the area | :06:47. | :06:54. | |
have been killed just because of their ethnicity. This person tells | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
us how his 16-year-old brother was abducted while selling sunglasses. | :06:58. | :07:07. | |
His body was found hours later. He had been tortured and shot. This | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
man's brother was also killed. He takes us as close as he dares to | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
what has become a new battle zone. This is a community of ethnic | :07:17. | :07:23. | |
Pashtuns of Italy from north-west Pakistan. Across the main road, | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
there is a community of good news because who say they have often | :07:27. | :07:36. | |
been fired on by gunmen. Front lines like this have opened up | :07:36. | :07:42. | |
across the vast city. The two ethnic groups are driven by the | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
political parties that claim to represent them and are now engaged | :07:45. | :07:51. | |
in a fierce fight over control of Karachi. It is a fight that is | :07:51. | :07:58. | |
often bitter -- that has often pitted neighbour against neighbour. | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
In this household, the armed attackers came from next door. The | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
gunmen streamed into the home and terrorised the family and looted | :08:05. | :08:11. | |
the place. The family fled as it came under gunfire. You can see the | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
bullet holes along the wall. The home was then set on fire. These | :08:16. | :08:26. | |
:08:26. | :08:36. | ||
neighbours were from different ethnic groups. In this area, is is | :08:36. | :08:42. | |

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

- our people. A hatred has grown so much that our children do not want | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
to meet people from the other side. As more areas get marked out by the | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
groups they belong to, there is a fear of more polite shedding to | :09:10. | :09:16. | |
come. There is continuing political | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
instability in Yemen. The President remains in Saudi Arabia where he is | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
recovering from an assassination attempt in June. Humanitarian | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
agencies warned the country is close to humanitarian disaster. The | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
economy has all but collapsed, forcing the Yemen people into | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
greater hardship. Since the Arab Spring began last December, our | :09:39. | :09:48. | |

reporter has followed protests in This portrait has found its way to | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
the mansion of a wealthy opposition leader who buys the work of the | :10:03. | :10:10. | |
artist to support the protest. The subject of the painting is not an | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
imaginary character. She is a will girl whose life of struggle | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
inspired the artist. Only five years of age, she spends her days | :10:20. | :10:26. | |
collecting empty plastic bottles to help to feed her family. When she | :10:26. | :10:33. | |
found out an artist had painted her she tracked him down. She went to | :10:33. | :10:39. | |
his studio and persuaded him to teach her to draw. Now this | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
makeshift shelter is her only school and drawing is her only | :10:44. | :10:50. | |
escape. She tells me she is inspired by revolution and draws a | :10:50. | :10:57. | |
bride holding their national flag, showing the revolution sign. She | :10:57. | :11:07. | |
:11:07. | :11:09. | ||
also hopes change is coming. Home is a single room shared with four | :11:09. | :11:15. | |
siblings, mother and father. Her mother is only 25 and is expecting | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
another baby but they cannot afford to see a doctor and she will have | :11:19. | :11:29. | |
the baby at term. The revolution has given them something new: Hope. | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
TRANSLATION: Thank God, people demanded change. We were on the | :11:33. | :11:40. | |
edge. We are so poor and nearly became homeless. There is no-one to | :11:40. | :11:46. | |
protect us and we had almost lost hope. This is a typical family in | :11:46. | :11:52. | |
Yemen are earning less than $5 a day, not enough to buy one meal to | :11:52. | :11:56. | |

real change for them. Now to the Netherlands, one of Europe's most | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
secular societies. People are leaving the mainstream Dutch | :12:08. | :12:15. | |
Protestant Church at the rate of $65,000 per year. Faith also seems | :12:15. | :12:25. | |
:12:25. | :12:26. | ||
to be deserting some members of the clergy. We went to the south-west | :12:26. | :12:36. | |
:12:36. | :12:37. | ||
of the country to meet a vicar who does not believe in God. Among one | :12:37. | :12:45. | |

death so God does not exist as a supernatural being. What happens, | :13:09. | :13:16. | |

most of life on Earth. Attempts to have them expelled from the | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
Protestant Church have failed because his views are too widely | :13:30. | :13:36. | |
held. For me, it frees me from the normal views because he is using | :13:36. | :13:45. | |
the Bible in a rhetorical way. Progressive clergy are virtually | :13:45. | :13:50. | |
reinventing Christianity. They are determined that the Netherlands, | :13:50. | :13:56. | |
rather than become a graveyard for Christianity, should become its | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
laboratory and experiment with radically new ways of understanding | :14:00. | :14:10. | |

way 2,000 years ago as you can today. It means something different. | :14:26. | :14:32. | |
We can use the same words but say something totally different. Groups | :14:32. | :14:40. | |

dating service. BBC News, Mexico. - - Amsterdam. The government of | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
Mexico has been criticised for not to be enough to tackle the crime | :15:22. | :15:29. | |
wave. It has responded with a media offensive. But ever the years our | :15:29. | :15:39. | |
correspondent has seen many attempts to tackle the drug problem. | :15:39. | :15:45. | |
Winning hearts and minds with cartoons, the latest attempt by the | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
Mexican government to drum up support for its strategy and its | :15:49. | :15:58. | |
rising levels of drug-related violence. The arrest of drug barons, | :15:58. | :16:05. | |
destruction of drug shipments and a massive deployment of the military | :16:05. | :16:12. | |
are all depicted. Some argue that the presence of troops have | :16:12. | :16:18. | |
actually fuel the violence. At their accusations a similarly | :16:18. | :16:27. | |
rejected. The cartoonists says it is a simple way for the government | :16:27. | :16:32. | |
to get its message across. It is difficult for international people | :16:32. | :16:38. | |
to understand what is happening in Mexico, why the violence is so high | :16:38. | :16:44. | |
in some places. We offer information to give a coherent and | :16:44. | :16:51. | |
comprehensive perspective of what is happening. This media offensive | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
by the Mexican government to highlight these excesses of its | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
fight against organised crime seems to have little resonance with those | :16:59. | :17:04. | |
living in the areas most affected by the violence who have | :17:04. | :17:13. | |
experienced the bloodiness of this conflict in their own lives. No-one | :17:13. | :17:18. | |
more so probably than the rear. Her story raised to prominence when she | :17:18. | :17:24. | |
and other victims of the violence met the President. She cried as she | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
told how four of her sons had disappeared, possibly kidnapped by | :17:29. | :17:34. | |
drug gangs. Images of President Calderon consoling her were beamed | :17:34. | :17:41. | |
around the world. But she tells him it is not sympathy she wants. | :17:41. | :17:45. | |

this war. They do not stop free second to think that those affected | :17:56. | :18:02. | |
are innocent people that have nothing to do with this. It may be | :18:02. | :18:08. | |
that the Mexican government's latest weapon on its war in drugs. | :18:09. | :18:14. | |

It brings back to mind an unpleasant PVV in history, says the | :19:32. | :19:37. | |
