Emergency talks about the situation in Haiti are beginning today in Jamaica

Emergency talks about the situation in Haiti are beginning today in Jamaica.

Regional leaders and the US Secretary of State are holding a crisis meeting on Haiti where gang violence has forced hundreds of thousands to the brink of famine. We speak to an aid worker about the humanitarian situation in the country and hear from residents affected by the violence.

The Princess of Wales has acknowledged editing a family photograph that was issued by Kensington Palace on Sunday. The picture was the first to be released since she had abdominal surgery in January, but leading news agencies later withdrew the photograph because of concerns it could have been digitally manipulated. We get more from our royal correspondent.

We’ve been speaking to farmers in Europe and Africa who are facing rising costs. Today we hear from Indian farmers who have been protesting against new agricultural reforms.

For many parts of the world, it's the first day of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. We explain what Ramadan is and hear some messages from Muslims with connections to the conflicts in Gaza, Sudan and Yemen.

Presenter: Krupa Padhy.
