Growing up in poverty in the UK - a brother and sister's story

Extraordinary personal stories from around the world.

Today, a brother and sister give an eloquent and honest description of what it is like to grow up below the poverty line in the UK.

And, old fashioned fishing in Belgium - on horseback.
