数千名玻利维亚土著游行者抗议政府在亚马逊地区的一个有争议的道路项目,他们到达拉巴斯政府所在地。当地居民也加入游行队伍,并向游行者提供食物、毛毯和音乐。Mattia Cabitza在拉巴斯报道。
There are marching bands. Children come from schools just to say hello to these protesters, who've endured fatigue, cold just to come here to tell the President Evo Morales that he needs to scrap altogether the construction project for the highway through the Amazon forest. The government insists it's needed to bring development and progress to these poor communities, but these indigenous protesters say they are going to stay here until the president changes his mind.

A BBC investigation has found that many child beggars active on the streets of London come from Romania's Gypsy community and each can earn hundreds of dollars a day for their minders. The Gypsies, also known as Roma, are Europe's largest ethnic minority and the poorest, but the BBC found many who manage the beggars to be owners of large houses and luxury cars.
