The BBC has gained rare access to the Haitian capital Port-au-Prince, where gangs now control 90% of the city. The police there are outnumbered and outgunned, government authority has all but collapsed, and ordinary Haitians are trapped in a daily struggle for survival. In the past six months, more than 4,000 people have been killed. We have a special report. Also on the programme: Thailand and Cambodia trade airstrikes and artillery fire in a deadly escalation of a border dispute; and do you really need to do 10,000 steps a day to be healthy?
