BBC World Service - BBC OS, Haiti: Millions in need of food aid

The situation in Haiti is worsening due to widespread gang violence

The situation in Haiti is worsening due to widespread gang violence.

The situation in Haiti continues to worsen amid widespread gang violence. Many people are without food, and there's huge concern over the spread of diseases. We speak to a doctor in a Haitian hospital. 

Working in extreme heat can double the risk of stillbirth and miscarriage for pregnant women, according to new research from India. The study found that the risks to mothers-to-be are significantly higher than previously thought. We hear from some of those women.

The US is accusing Apple of monopolising the smartphone market in a landmark lawsuit against the tech giant. Apple denies the claims and says the lawsuit threatens its ability to create a superior product. We speak to our correspondent in New York.

Presenter: Luke Jones.
