Acute food shortages in northern Ethiopia

Available for over a year

The UN warns of food shortages in Ethiopia's Tigray region, so is famine being concealed? Freelance journalist Samuel Getachew has visited the affected areas in recent weeks, and tells us what he saw. And we get wider context from Peter Smerdon of the UN's World Food Programme. Also in the programme, Kai Ryssdal from our sister programme Marketplace talks about how rising lumber prices are pushing the cost of housing up. The BBC's Maddy Savage visits Northvolt's new electric car battery factory in northern Sweden. Plus, as Hong Kong introduces strict new movie censorship rules as a result of the territory's new national security law, former civil servant Rachel Cartland, who still lives in Hong Kong, gives us her reaction. All through the programme we'll be joined by Peter Ryan of ABC in Sydney. (Picture: A man in Tigray collects a box of food provided by USAID. Picture credit: Getty Images.)
