Tuned. Thanks to nigel and joke with the both of you will be back at 11th are. Coming next, reporters. Welcome to reporters. Im karin giaonone. From here in the bbc newsroom, we send out correspondence to bring you the best stories from across the globe. In this weeks programme. 0n the brink of famine. We report from yemen as the United Nations launches an Emergency Appeal for aid. The struggle of the smugglers. A Reporterjoins The Kurds desperately trying to make a living on the iraqi border. Believe it or not, it is impossible to take a sip. The un has appealed for 2 billion to provide life saving assistance to millions in yemen, who it says face the threat of famine. Almost 3. 3 Million People are now suffering from acute malnutrition. More than 2 million of them are children. Aid workers say the situation is catastrophic and rapidly deteriorating. Now there is a new complication. Warplanes from the Saudi Led Coalition battling the Houthi Rebels who control the capital have hit a vital port, which means aid supplies cannot be unloaded. Nawal al maghafi is one of the few western journalists to have travelled to yemen in recent months and sent this report. Fatima is the face of hunger in yemen. In the six months since we met her, every day has been a struggle to get food. Her mother says they are barely surviving. Fatima is not alone. There are over two million children like her. 90 of yemens food is imported and most of it arrives here, at what was once its busiest port. But all the cranes needed to off load the ships have been bombed by the Saudi Led Coalition. And the port is barely functioning. The saudis have imposed an aerial and naval blockade, controlling all imports to the country. They say they are stopping arms from getting to the houthis and their allies. But that means that very little food is getting through. The World Food Programme has bought new cranes for hodedas port but we have been told the Saudi Coalition has refused to allow them in for at least two months. These delays in bringing foodstuffs onshore, either commercially or humanitarian, means theres less available and therefore, the prices will go up. From what ive heard, the saudi argument is that firstly, the port is in control of the houthis, so they are handing over cranes to a port that is in control of the rebels. They also say that these cranes could be used to off load arms for the rebels and therefore, fuel the fight. What would you say to that . Those cranes are for wfp. Those cranes are brought in and funded for wfp, who are the logistics cluster, to bring those food goods off ships that are coming in. The port is controlled by the same people who have always controlled the port, the same as the sea offshore is controlled by the Saudi Led Coalition. So we just want these cranes in so we can do our work, to make sure the humanitarian pipeline is a strong as it can possibly be. The fighting for control of the port has been going on for over six months, with neither side winning. And its the most vulnerable that are left suffering. Nawal al maghafi, bbc news. Asotthalom is a village in Southern Hungary that youve probably never heard of until now. Its population is dwindling, but its hoping to persuade White Christian europeans, who dont like the idea of living in a Multicultural Society to move there. The mayor has already banned islamic dress and gay kissing in public. Leslie ashmall has been to the village where muslims and gays are not welcome. Asotthalom, a village on the Southern Hungary plains, just minutes from the serbian border where in 201510,000 migrants a day crossed into hungary. The village population is declining and homesteads stand vacant. The mayor here wants to attract Foreign Investors but not just any foreigner. Translation we primarily welcome people from western europe. People who would not like to live in a Multicultural Society. We would not want to attract muslim people. What if i was black or gay . How would you feel about that . Translation asotthalom has a bylaw which bans homosexual propaganda. We adopted it a few weeks ago. Think about this, europe is small, it cannot take in billions of people from africa and south asia where there is a population boom. This would soon lead to the disappearance of europe. I would like europe to belong to europeans. Asia to asians and africa to africans. Simple as that. He is so serious he has introduced local legislation banning public displays of affection by gay people, the wearing of islamic dress like the hijab, and he wants to ban the building of mosques. And his views are being pushed by a British Organisation called Knights Templar international. The former British National Party Leader Nick Griffin is a member and the group is Advertising Smallholdings for sale in asotthalom. Hungary is already seen by more and more Western Europeans as a place of refuge, a place to get away from the hell that is about to break loose in western europe. There are two muslims in asotthalom. One of them agreed to speak to us but at the last minute pulled out. They have spoken of their fears to hungarian media in the past but other villagers reject the laws are huge concern. However, they are the talk of the village pub. Translation important issues like this should be dealt with by the national government, not local legislation. If they take off the veil ill accept them. It does not even matter if they are black, they should become hungarian citizens even if they are muslims or whatever. Are you trying to create a white kind of Supremacist Village . I did not use this word white but because we are a white european christian population, we want to stay this. Like this, so. The Refugee Crisis has contributed to the anti immigrant sentiments in europe, like the rise of the French Front National and the dutch party for freedom. Hungary is no exception. To its critics, it was a Monstrosity Resembling an oil refinery more than a museum. But as Paris Pompidou Centre celebrates its 40th birthday this week, its reputation as an icon of modern architecture is now well established. It has been popular with more than 100 million visitors passing through its doors since 1977. Will gompertz has been speaking to two of the original architects, Richard Rodgers and renzo piano about the pompidous enduring legacy. Ah, paris, beautiful, romantic, and radical. A city of revolutions, riots and avant garde ideas. Like the pompidou centre, which in 1977 was like an Electric Shock for cultural conservatives. A daring, inside out building with its guts on show and weird caterpillar escalators crawling up its facade. These two self confessed bad boys were behind its creation. Unknown iconoclasts back then, respected pillars of society today. They hadnt expected their design to beat the 680 competing proposals. And when it did, a Steep Learning Curve awaited. It was a miracle, we had court cases against us, everybody hated it, nobody had worse press than we did. It was only when it opened and people started to line up and people started to come in and the figures were fantastic, it changed. This building was a shift, it was celebrating a shift, a change. Yes. And when the change occurs in society, its never easy, its never easy. The change was in the air. It was in the air of may 68, it was in the air of the time. So youve got to have a change. We were just simply building the change. What were your Reference Points . Where had you seen similar ideas executed . It was a cross between new yorks times square, which was full of glitter and so on and sex and all the rest of it, but it was lovely because people wanted to get there, and the british museum, a symbol of one of the greatest museums of the world, where you could sit down and do a deep cultural study. Beauty can change the world. It can help to change the world, and become a unifying element. I think beauty is tremendously underrated. It is the glue which pulls us all togetther. Their pompidou was a utopian project where people can explore art and ideas. A ao year old concept that they would argue is even more relevant today. Will gompertz, bbc news, paris. Thats all from reporters this week. From me, karin gionnone, it is goodbye for now. Good evening. For many of us it has been a cold and raw day with snow in some places. Down to low levels across some eastern counties of england eventually. Further fall across the Peak District and the pennines. Temperatures close to freezing. 0ne pennines.
