Good morning, this is Pip. Today, we’re covering the latest warnings about the global hunger crisis, as a group of over 200 organisations urge world leaders to help 50 million people on the brink of starvation.
We’re also looking at a report delivered to the Human Rights Council yesterday by a group of UN experts who concluded Venezuela’s intelligence agencies are committing “crimes against humanity”. And we’ve got the latest update on the floods in Pakistan, which have displaced nearly eight million people. |

One person dying of hunger every four seconds, NGOs warn.
