Available for over a year

US plans to ship food aid to Haiti - in the form of 500 tonnes of surplus peanuts - have provoked anger among Haitian farmers. Joseph Alliance, from the charity ActionAid, tells Mike Johnson the "dumping" of food aid is hurting the country's economy. Plus, have Haiti's farmers recovered from the devastating earthquake in 2010? (Photo: Sacks of peanuts at a market in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Credit: Dieu Nalio Chery, AP)
