Promises for a Fairer Planet

Declarations to eradicate poverty were signed by 100 world leaders at last week's summit

Declarations to eradicate poverty were signed by 100 world leaders at last week’s gathering in Copenhagen, Denmark, as part of a United Nations summit to create a more equal planet. We talk to young people who recently left their countries to study in London, to find out about their experiences of poverty and unemployment back home, and discover their hopes and fears for a secure future.
Also on the show, looking at the untapped power of your brain; and the surfers searching for big-wave paradise.
