There are some 10, 000 inmates at 231 South African prisons already registered for a new programme designed to help them read and write. It’s an ambitious project and the government intends to expand teaching so that prisoners everywhere better themselves while serving time in jail.http://www.streetnewsservice.org/news/2013/may/feed-378/prison-school.aspx20/05/2013Martha Gies is an advisor to Street Roots in America. In March, she stopped eating in solidarity with detainees at Guantánamo, some of whom had been on hunger strike for six weeks. At time of writing, nearly two-thirds of the 166 detainees were refusing food. Martha gave away the organic produce she’d just bought and began her fast on Passion Sunday. In her article, she argues America now ranks alongside China, Iran and Turkey due to its contempt for human rights.http://www.streetnewsservice.org/news/2013/may/feed-378/humanitarian-crisis-at-guantanamo.aspx20/05/2013Jenny Stocker and Gorjan Popovski run a charity to help Roma children who attend a day-care centre in Skopje, the capital of Macedonia.

In 2012, Zach became the youngest person ever to walk across America for charity when he travelled 2450 miles by foot to raise money for homeless people.

Lund hails from a long line of cowboys. He grew up in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains in Alberta, Canada, went to college to study bass and jazz guitar, then found himself playing bass in a hard rock/metal band for more than a decade before turning to Americana. Lund’s seventh album – Cabin Fever – was released recently, the result of weeks spent in a cabin he’d built with his long-time girlfriend and a favorite uncle. Within weeks of finishing the cabin, he and his girlfriend split up and his uncle died – it doesn’t get much more country than that.http://www.streetnewsservice.org/news/2013/may/feed-378/waxing-americana.aspx20/05/2013This month – 29th May – marks the 60th anniversary of the ascent of Mount Everest, the highest peak on Earth.

During the 18-day Tahrir Square uprising in early 2011, social networking websites, most notably Twitter and Facebook, allowed anti-regime activists to organise mass rallies while also providing platforms for political demands. Today, these networks play a less positive role, often inciting violence, rumour-mongering and disinformation.http://www.streetnewsservice.org/news/2013/may/feed-378/in-post-revolution-egypt,-social-media-shows-its-dark-side.aspx20/05/2013‘Tuchinha’ was once a drug lord in Rio de Janeiro’s Mangueira favela who became an almost mythical figure in the world of organised crime. Tuchinha dedicated his life to the drug trade and had plenty of cash, women and other perks. But he paid a high price and aside from spending a total of 21 years in prison, both he and his family lived with constant death threats. Today, however, he is helping Brazilian youngsters turn their lives around and leave behind crime, prison and the likelihood of an early death.http://www.streetnewsservice.org/news/2013/may/feed-378/drug-dealers-trade-crime-for-peace-in-rio-de-janeiro.aspx20/05/2013Like most people in Szczecin - a port city on the western edge of Poland - businessman Zbigniew Sawicki thought that when his country joined the European Union a decade ago, wealthier German neighbours would pour in and buy up the city. But events took an unexpected turn because large numbers of well-to-do Poles from Szczecin - including many of Sawicki's friends - are moving into Germany. They are buying properties on such a scale that sleepy Prussian villages are taking on a Polish air.http://www.streetnewsservice.org/news/2013/may/feed-378/polish-city-offers-lifeline-to-struggling-german-neighbours.aspx20/05/2013They beat him. They tried to set him on fire. Then they crushed his head with a heavy stone. A 23-year-old man in Russia's southern city of Volgograd was tortured and killed after revealing he was gay during a drinking session, investigators said, taking a rare step by linking a murder to homophobia.http://www.streetnewsservice.org/news/2013/may/feed-378/russia's-gay-community-fears-more-violence-after-brutal-murder.aspx20/05/2013Patrick Jansen is a 33- year-old street vendor in Dusseldorf, Germany. As a youth, he enjoyed graffiti art and played drums in a band with his friends. His life changed for the worse after problems began at home.

Art has greatly helped his recovery and at some point in the future, Patrick hopes to exhibit his paintings in a gallery.http://www.streetnewsservice.org/news/2013/may/feed-378/vendor-spotlight-patrick-(fifty-fifty---germany).aspx20/05/2013They are created by cracking fiercely difficult mathematical puzzles.

In April, the California State Assembly in America passed the Homeless Person’s Bill of Rights and Fairness Act. The landmark move was the latest victory for a growing movement in the US committed to ending the criminalization of homeless people.http://www.streetnewsservice.org/news/2013/may/feed-378/a-giant-leap-for-human-rights.aspx20/05/2013Clive Stafford Smith is a British lawyer and director of the charity, Reprieve. He’s represented inmates at Guantanamo Bay and many death-row prisoners in the US. His latest book - Injustice: Life and Death in the Courtrooms of America - highlights the story of Kris Maharaj, a British citizen convicted in 1987 of double homicide in Miami. Stafford Smith argues Maharaj’s case proves there are systemic flaws within the American legal system.http://www.streetnewsservice.org/news/2013/may/feed-377/injustice-in-american-courtrooms.aspx13/05/2013The camp should not have been difficult to find.

The award-winning science fiction show depicts the adventures of a character called “The Doctor” who travels through time and explores the universe in a sentient space ship.

Crystal was dressed as a punk rocker and was panhandling on the streets, but the next time Rodney met her she was clean and healthy. The message in Rodney’s story is timeless, he says, because over the past decade conditions have hardly improved for Canada’s homeless youth.http://www.streetnewsservice.org/news/2013/may/feed-377/i-have-hopes-and-dreams-too.aspx13/05/2013In Malawi, farmers face a daily struggle to survive and feed their families. They claim the farming crisis is due to a failure on the part of government to support their industry which results in exploitation via rock bottom prices paid for crops. John Kwapata is one farmer suffering. He is so poor he cannot even afford shoes.http://www.streetnewsservice.org/news/2013/may/feed-377/malawi’s-farming-crisis.aspx13/05/2013The United Nations estimates there are 870 million undernourished people in the world despite the fact half of the 600 million tonnes of food discarded annually is safe to eat. Indeed, the food which ends up in our bins and landfills would be enough to feed those who go hungry. In Britain, a charity called Fare Share takes surplus food from supermarkets and gives it to charities helping marginalised people. The scheme has proved such a success in Glasgow - Scotland’s largest city – that some 9000 free meals are now distributed each month to disadvantaged people.http://www.streetnewsservice.org/news/2013/may/feed-377/food-for-thought.aspx13/05/2013On every first Monday of the month we present editors with a selection of short stories from the news service website.

During that time Athens’ socio-economic landscape changed dramatically and the nation remains in crisis with tens of thousands of people recently made homeless. Shedia – the English meaning is ‘Raft’ – is providing hope for the destitute. German street paper Bodo spoke about Greece's economic crisis to Shedia's founder Chris Alefantis and a worker of German-Greek descent who was forced back to Germany to find work.http://www.streetnewsservice.org/news/2013/may/feed-376/the-world’s-newest-street-paper.aspx06/05/2013In 1987, Randy Steidl was a hard-working guy, raising his son in Paris, Illinois. But in a Kafka-esque horror story he went from living an ordinary life to being incarcerated on death row, despite the fact he was innocent of any crime. Steidl lost 17 years of his life and came within weeks of death for a crime he did not commit. He now campaigns against the death penalty and is chair of Witness to Innocence, a US-based NGO of exonerated death-row survivors.http://www.streetnewsservice.org/news/2013/may/feed-376/life-after-death-row.aspx06/05/2013Menus are replete with politically correct terms such as “fair trade” and “locally sourced”, but behind kitchen doors millions of workers in the U.S are exploited while bosses increase profits. The cause of this injustice is a deal struck between the National Restaurant Association and Congress which means workers’ wages never increase. Sadly, pay has remained at $2.15 an hour for the last 22 years. Activist Saru Jayaraman argues the people who prepare food should be the next front in the fight for food justice.http://www.streetnewsservice.org/news/2013/may/feed-376/justice-for-restaurant-workers-earning-poverty-wages.aspx06/05/2013For years, war veteran Robert Britt struggled to adapt to life back home in America after serving in Iraq. He felt lost, alone and further from home than he ever did while serving his country in a war zone. It wasn’t until he found The Mission Continues that the former soldier was able to put his life back on track. The non-profit was founded by another war veteran called Eric Greitens, the former commander of a US army unit that hunted al Qaeda.http://www.streetnewsservice.org/news/2013/may/feed-376/helping-war-veterans-reconnect.aspx06/05/2013While producing a radio documentary about music made in Vietnam during the war, Sheila Pham was astonished to hear her mother’s incredible story for the first time. From 1970 to 1973, Kim Thoa Tran (Sheila’s mother) was part of an entertainment troupe called Hoa Tinh Thuong (The Love Flowers) which played to soldiers all over South Vietnam – at army hospitals, bases and camps – performing mainstream Vietnamese rock and other popular music to boost morale. http://www.streetnewsservice.org/news/2013/may/feed-376/saigon-songs.aspx06/05/2013Globalisation has had some crucial negative impacts on the environment.

He belongs to the Excluded Workers Movement (MTE), an apolitical organization with more than 2000 members who work as urban recyclers in Argentina’s capital city. But Sanchez is now as famous in Argentina as the footballer Diego Maradona. His celebrity status came after he received a personal invitation to visit Rome for the inauguration of his friend, Pope Francis. In the Italian capital, Sanchez rubbed shoulders with world leaders and made history for cardboard collectors.http://www.streetnewsservice.org/news/2013/april/feed-375/the-argentinian-cardboard-collector-who-is-good-friends-with-the-pope.aspx29/04/2013The U.S. Supreme Court has dismissed a lawsuit against the Royal Dutch Shell Petroleum Company brought by alleged human rights victims. The ruling, which was handed down last week, is seen as a serious setback for the Ogoni community in the Niger Delta, who alleged gross human rights abuses during the mid-1990s by the military government in power at the time. In addition, the decision essentially cuts off the U.S. courts system from those attempting to redress wrongs allegedly committed by multinational companies, particularly in developing countries.http://www.streetnewsservice.org/news/2013/april/feed-375/us-kiobel-decision-bucks-30-years-of-precedent.aspx29/04/2013How close are we to winning the battle against cancer?

And so the sheikh and his associates are the natural starting point for any investigation into missing underage Christian girls.

From being a quiet village in the early part of the 19th century, St Louis mushroomed to become a city home to some 800,000 residents in 1950 but by 2010 its population had dwindled to just over 319,000 as its economic fortunes waned.
