:13:53. > :14:03.bad the situation was. The drought is very acute. Animals
:14:03. > :14:03.
:14:03. > :14:08.are dying. There is no water. There is no pasture. The water pans are
:14:08. > :14:14.dry. There is no pasture for the animals and no food for the people.
:14:14. > :14:21.There is a huge migration of people to refugee camps and to urban
:14:21. > :14:31.centres. Children and women. We expect the rain in late October. We
:14:31. > :14:31.
:14:32. > :14:34.are thinking of the time in between, a drought, which has not been seen
:14:34. > :14:39.in the past 20 years. The this needs an international
:14:39. > :14:45.response. Is the international community stepping up to the plate?
:14:45. > :14:49.It is beginning to. It is happening slowly. We have been responding to
:14:49. > :14:54.the crisis for many months. We are signalling a trigger to say this
:14:54. > :14:58.situation is so acute, the international community must scale
:14:58. > :15:06.up. We are reaching hundreds of thousands of women and children at
:15:06. > :15:10.the moment, but we must reach millions of children today, and we
:15:10. > :15:14.will not see the situation improve in months before it gets better.
:15:14. > :15:23.Time is of the essence. We have been calling for the community to
:15:23. > :15:31.What are the figures form malnourished children at the
:15:31. > :15:35.moment? As many as one in four in some places. We see many children
:15:35. > :15:40.coming into the feeding centres, children who need to go to hospital
:15:40. > :15:44.to be admitted as in-patients and be treated with therapeutic care.
:15:44. > :15:50.That situation will only deteriorate unless we can get to
:15:50. > :15:54.them immediately. It is expensive place to operate, it is very rural,
:15:54. > :15:59.very diverse in areas, so to get to those places with difficult
:15:59. > :16:03.infrastructure it takes a massive amount of resources and effort. We
:16:03. > :16:08.are finding new ways of doing that but the challenge is immediate
:16:08. > :16:16.right now. The harvest is three months away, is there a risk that
:16:16. > :16:23.the drought could be, famine as well? Yes, the situation now is
:16:24. > :16:29.turning to famine. The situation in the next three months is going to
:16:29. > :16:34.turn into a major humanitarian crisis in the region. A region that
:16:34. > :16:38.already had its share of conflict and what we are seeing again in
:16:38. > :16:44.many parts of the pastoral ecosystem in the North and in the
:16:44. > :16:49.Horn of Africa is that this crisis, this lack of pasture and water, and
:16:49. > :16:54.the movement taking place is again leading to more conflict among the
:16:54. > :17:01.pastoral communities. Conflict and insecurity will be the order of the
:17:01. > :17:07.day in the next three months and you are asking government, as my
:17:07. > :17:13.colleague said, time is essence. The government were meeting today,
:17:13. > :17:19.they need to pull their socks up. The international community must
:17:19. > :17:22.come and save the situation. If you look across the region, across the
:17:22. > :17:30.pastoral setting up mainly in northern Kenya, the roads are in
:17:30. > :17:35.bad shape. The environment is in very dire need in terms of the last
:17:35. > :17:42.three-year as, that you see children and women very vulnerable
:17:42. > :17:50.along the highways. They are looking for water, so the situation
:17:50. > :17:57.as we have today, and focusing the next three months, it is a major,
:17:57. > :18:02.major humanitarian crisis. Matthew, this is exacerbated by conflict in
:18:02. > :18:06.Somalia and rising food prices. In terms of the number of people who
:18:06. > :18:11.have actually died as a result of this, do you have any reliable
:18:11. > :18:16.figures? No, they are extremely difficult to come by, but we know
:18:16. > :18:21.that this is a very complex crisis. There is a simple solution - we
:18:21. > :18:25.need to get food, water and urgent health care to the people affected.
:18:25. > :18:31.The complexities of it, whether that is the conflict, the lack of
:18:31. > :18:36.infrastructure, or the global food price problems which are
:18:36. > :18:41.compounding the situation, are very much issues which the international
:18:41. > :18:45.community is working on. We are working to protect people from the
:18:45. > :18:50.nutritional final outcomes of these crisis, the final outcome being
:18:50. > :19:00.death, but the moment now is to reconsider how we act and that is
:19:00. > :19:01.
:19:01. > :19:04.about a simple solution. Thank you. The European Union says it will
:19:04. > :19:07.resume emergency food aid to North Korea which is suffering its worst
:19:07. > :19:10.food crisis in years. An unusually cold winter has devastated recent
:19:10. > :19:13.harvests, while food aid from China, which has suffered recent droughts
:19:13. > :19:18.and floods, has also declined. The EU says more than half a million
:19:18. > :19:20.people are at risk of dying from malnutrition. When she came to
:19:20. > :19:23.power as Brazil's first female president, Dilma Roussef promised
:19:23. > :19:30.to prevent any changes in the law that would lead to more
:19:30. > :19:33.deforestation. Within the next few months, the Brazilian government is
:19:33. > :19:35.going to have to decide whether to approve proposals to relax the
:19:35. > :19:38.Forest Code, which is designed to protect the Amazon rain forest.

:20:00. > :20:04.home to countless unique species of animals and plants, but years of
:20:04. > :20:09.deforestation have left them vulnerable, as farmers clear the
:20:09. > :20:15.land to provide pasture for their cattle and to grow valuable cash
:20:15. > :20:23.crops like soya and corn. The indigenous tribes who live here say
:20:23. > :20:27.their traditional way of life is under threat. TRANSLATION: Today
:20:28. > :20:32.everybody is destroying the forest or around, I don't want this. I
:20:32. > :20:38.told many people that if we destroy the forest, there will be no shade.
:20:38. > :20:44.There will be a great wind and the ground will overheat. That is my
:20:44. > :20:49.fear. This gives you a pretty good idea of what deforestation looks
:20:49. > :20:55.like. Over there, as far as the eye can see, virgin rainforest. But
:20:55. > :21:00.right here, this road that has been cleared illegally and down there,
:21:00. > :21:06.cattle grazing. Within the next few years, the cattle may have gone on
:21:06. > :21:10.this could be used for growing soya. It is corn harvest time now, and
:21:10. > :21:15.with food prices are at record levels, farmers want to expand to
:21:15. > :21:22.grow more. The world needs more food, and they are more than happy
:21:22. > :21:27.to provide it. The Forest Code says that here, close to the Amazon,
:21:27. > :21:31.farmers can cultivate only 20% of the land they own. The other 80%
:21:31. > :21:37.has to be left untouched to protect the forest. That is what they want
:21:37. > :21:40.to change. TRANSLATION: I feel cheated because 80% of my money is
:21:40. > :21:45.tied up in protecting the environment for the rest of the
:21:45. > :21:49.world but I don't get anything out of it. Environmentalists want the
:21:49. > :21:52.laws to be strengthened to protect this, but the government is coming
:21:52. > :21:56.under enormous pressure from agricultural business interests who
:21:56. > :22:00.want to be able to develop more of their land. The government says it
:22:00. > :22:05.will veto any proposal that threatens the rainforest, but the

:24:59. > :25:06.it is daylight at the top, night time at the bottom. And it feels

:25:12. > :25:19.world in all sorts of places. Isn't that right? Yes indeed, it is one
:25:19. > :25:24.of his best images. It is fascinating because it is so simple.
:25:24. > :25:28.Perfectly executed. The image appears at first to be normal, but
:25:28. > :25:33.on closer inspection it is not. It is familiar perhaps because it has
:25:33. > :25:40.been used as an album cover and it is not the only one. Once you start
:25:40. > :25:48.looking, Rene Magritte is everywhere. Album covers, Jackson
