1. Angelique Hilaire:

   I can't afford to rent anywhere else, every time it rains I pray to God for it to stop. But what can I do ? Even a short downpour can leave the capital flooded as piles of rubbish on the streets and debris filled canals block drains, which exacerbates flooding. Natural disasters linked to climate change will only get more frequent and extreme in the future, experts say. Decades of deforestation have left Haiti even more exposed to natural disasters, with less than three percent of its original forest cover still intact, according to the UNDP. This causes soil erosion and reduces the ability of soil to retain water, making Haiti more vulnerable to flooding and landslides. During heavy rainfall, there are few trees to stop water washing down the bare mountains. While 5.5 million tree seedlings have been planted in Haiti by the UNDP since 2010, not enough has been done to stop people cutting down trees in the first place. Selling charcoal, which comes from burning wood, is used for cooking and is a key source of income for many Haitians living in the countryside. .

2. Heiko Ostendorf:

   They think the refugees who come to Germany had nothing back home, lived in corrugated iron huts and should be thankful to have running water here. But that's rubbish, and the idea they're living in wonderland now even though some sleep in tent cities and gymnasiums is absolute nonsense.

3. Hani Abu Hamdan:

   We need a revolution to free ourselves from these politicians, we want power, we want water, we don't want rubbish in the streets. We want these politicians to get lost.

4. Rosemary Tovar:

   I left because I was dying of hunger. We are trying to get ahead looking through this rubbish. Every night I pray to God to take me out of here.

5. Gordon Noble:

   We are digging in what is essentially the area that the Picts threw their rubbish but this collection of the waste products of their day-to-day lives is a treasure trove to archaeologists, what’s exciting is the level of preservation here. We’ve found animal bone which rarely survives in mainland Scotland because of the acidic soil. We are already getting really nice information about what people ate within the fort and we hope to extract a level of information we’ve not had for Pictish sites before.
