Somalia's fragile transitional government is appealing for international help in its efforts to bring peace to the world's most fractured nation. Somalia is being torn apart by civil war waged between government troops and Islamist insurgent groups, notably the Al-Shabab. Sir David speaks to the treasury minister Abdirah Omar Osman. Plus, what happens to all that supermarket food after the sell-by date has expired? The answer might shock you: it gets thrown away, buried in landfill dumps. Enough to feed the world's hungry three times over. In this new book, Waste, historian Tristram Stuart has followed the sorry story.
