		<description><![CDATA[&#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; The May edition of BBC Africa Debate will ask how big a threat is posed by the rise in Islamist militancy across the continent. Do conflicts in northern Mali and Somalia, hostage taking in Algeria, and frequent bombings in northern Nigeria present a major threat to stability and security across the continent? Is it fair to talk of a new "arc of instability" spreading across the region - and what is the potential risk to the rest of the world?Presented by the BBC's Audrey Brown and Karen Allen, the debate will be broadcast on Friday 31 May. ...]]></description>

Nigerians are telling their own stories and making movies their way; without foreign aid or government subsidies.”Redi will speak to Nigerians Yewande Sadiku and Biyi Bandele, the executive producer and director respectively of Half of a Yellow Sun, the largest budget Nollywood film so far.Based on Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's Orange Prize winning novel, Half of a Yellow Sun stars Hollywood-based actors Thandie Newton, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Anika Noni Rose alongside Nollywood stars like Genevieve Nnaji and OC Ukeje, but was funded almost exclusively by Nigerians.Redi will also speak to Franco Sacchi, a Zambian-born Italian filmmaker who made the award-winning documentary This is Nollywood.What drives Nollywood's productivity...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; A new push is being made by corporations and banks in Detroit to drive even more working class, poor and nationally oppressed people out of the city. This fact is being illustrated by recent developments in the downtown area and its environs where low-income people are being forced to move from several apartment buildings.In the Cass Corridor, a heavily depressed area that has been neglected by the City government and the business magnates for years is now the apparent focus for the construction of a new sports stadium. The owners of the Detroit Red Wings may be attempting to take control of sections of the Corridor in order to either gentrify the district or engage in “developments” that will not benefit the interests of the current residents.Residents in three apartment buildings on Henry Street between Cass and Second Avenues received a hand written notice on April 20 saying that they had to move out within thirty days. ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; Accra, April 29, 2013 Urbanization helps pull people out of poverty and advances progress towards the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), but, if not managed well, can also lead to burgeoning growth of slums, pollution, and crime, says the Global Monitoring Report (GMR) 2013, released today by the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF).Urbanization has been a major force behind poverty reduction and progress towards other MDGs. With over 80 percent of global goods and services produced in cities, countries with relatively higher levels of urbanization, such as China, and many others in East Asia and Latin America, have played a major role in lowering extreme poverty[1]worldwide...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; (Reuters) - Heavy use of the world's most popular herbicide, Roundup, could be linked to a range of health problems and diseases, including Parkinson's, infertility and cancers, according to a new study.The peer-reviewed report, published last week in the scientific journal Entropy, said evidence indicates that residues of "glyphosate," the chief ingredient in Roundup weed killer, which is sprayed over millions of acres of crops, has been found in food.Those residues enhance the damaging effects of other food-borne chemical residues and toxins in the environment to disrupt normal body functions and induce disease, according to the report, authored by Stephanie Seneff, a research scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Anthony Samsel, a retired science consultant from Arthur D.

		<description><![CDATA[&#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; Since world leaders adopted the Millennium Development Goals in 2000, a broad partnership of governments, United Nations entities, philanthropies and businesses has combined to protect hundreds of millions of people from malaria.Increased international funding, matched by growing political commitment in endemic countries, triggered a massive increase in preventive interventions and expanded access to diagnostic testing and life-saving medicines, averting more than a million deaths.The MDG target of halting and reversing the incidence of malaria is now in sight, and 50 countries are on track to reduce their malaria burden by at least 75 per cent by 2015. However, major challenges remain. Malaria continues to inflict a major toll on least developed countries – primarily in Africa – and millions of people still lack access to life-saving interventions.In Africa, malaria kills a child every minute...]]></description>
