FOOD FOR THOUGHT ON BBC WORLD NEWS
Were last year’s food riots from Egypt to Haiti a warning of more to come?
Marking World Food Day these two One Planet Pictures co-productions scour the world for promising solutions to a looming food crisis.
As one interviewee says: “There are far more people going to die tonight from starvation than will die in all the wars being fought at the present time.”

WOMEN ON THE FRONTLINE AT THE U.N. GENERAL ASSEMBLY
Dev.tv’s series will be shown on October 12th 2009 during the 64th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
Vice President of the United States of America Joe Biden will be part of the audience.
First broadcast on BBC World on 19 April 2008 the seven-part series documents the different kinds of violence practiced against women and girls. It has been produced by dev.tv, with the support of the United Nations Fund for Population (UNFPA), the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) and the Austrian Development Cooperation (ADC).
Presented by Annie Lennox, Women on the Frontline takes the front to the homes, villages, and cities of our world where a largely unreported war against females is being waged. We hear the victims give testimony and gain an insight into how widespread gender-based violence is. Six directors, five women and one man, have filmed for a year with survivors of gender based violence - honour killings, sex trafficking and torture - in seven countries where campaigns and grassroots media, as well as lawmakers’ action, is making a difference to the rights and wellbeing of women.
