BBC World Service - BBC OS, Conflict in DR Congo

We look at the conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo

We look at the conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

We look at the ongoing fighting in the Democratic Republic of Congo and explain who the group fighting the government – the M23 rebels - are.  Our colleagues from BBC Afrique and the BBC Great Lakes Service talk about the situation on the ground and about Rwanda’s role in the conflict. We also hear from people in the DRC about how the war is affecting their lives.

We have been hearing from people in the countries experiencing a fall in the number of babies being born.  Today we turn to two families who have decided to have a number of children that is way above the average of the country they live in. What is it like running a household with 16 kids, and how do you cope with rising prices?

Today is Holocaust Memorial Day - the remembrance of six million Jews killed by the Nazi regime. The 27th January marks the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi death camp. We hear what happened to Hannah Lewis, a Holocaust survivor who lives now in the UK. WARNING: You may find some details in Hannah's story upsetting.
