The US State Department says it's trying to expedite the deployment of a UN- backed multinational police force to Haiti where gang violence is dragging the country into anarchy. A resident of the capital, Port-au-Prince, tells us that he has a bag packed ready to flee, if the gangs show up in his neighbourhood. And we speak to Canada's Ambassador to the United Nations, who is at the Caribbean Community meeting in Jamaica, about what needs to happen to stop the violence.

Also in the programme: a rare interview with a man who gave up being a farmer to become the commander of a rebel group fighting the military junta in Myanmar; and the Oscar winner who said "I wish I never made this film".
