Gang warfare in Haiti

The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s Nawal Al-Maghafi has spent time embedded with the Kenyan forces in Haiti.

The UN-sanctioned mission in Haiti was meant to be a multi-nation effort with a contingent of 2,500 soldiers from seven different countries led by the Kenyan police. Six months later, only 400 Kenyan police officers have been deployed and the mission remains seriously underfunded. We speak to our reporter who spent time embedded with the Kenyan forces. A warning this episode contains distressing details.

We bring some of the key quotes and analysis on President Putin’s annual phone-in and press conference.

Dominique Pelicot has been jailed for twenty years for the aggravated rape of his wife Gisèle, whom he drugged and allowed strangers to rape repeatedly over a decade. We bring reaction from France.

The United States reported its first severe human case of bird flu this week. We explain what bird flu is.
