UN HOLDS A HIGH LEVEL MEETING ON AIDS
SENIOR UN OFFICIALS SAYS GLOBAL PICTURE OF PANDEMIC IS MIXED
CIVIL SOCIETY MEMBERS EXPECT MORE HELP TO FIGHT AIDS

We report on the high-level meeting on HIV/AIDS taking place in New York. United Nations officials and members of civil society talk about the challenges posed by the pandemic.. "It is 25 years ago next weekthat the world first heard of HIV/AIDS. Looking back, that age of innocence -- if I may put it that way -- seems to belong not only to a different time, but to a different world."

Khansani Mavasa an HIV-positive activist addresses General Assembly."I call on Africa leaders sitting here to protect and promote the human rights of all people and vulnerable groups, particularly women and girls. We ask you not fail us yet again."

A new report on HIV/AIDS says AIDS epidemic appears to be slowing but prevalence not decreasing in Southern Africa. Heads of UNAIDS, UNICEF, and UNFPA launch the report.

ANGOLA: DEVASTATING OUTBREAK OF CHOLERA

We hear from the UN's top Humanitarian official, Jan Egeland, about his recent visit to Sudan and the prospects for Darfur. "I was more optimistic than I have been quite a while, now because we have hope, we have an agreement that should also lead to the strengthening of the African Union force on the ground immediately...."

The government of the DR Congo reports that it has arrested a number of foreigners suspected of involvement in an alleged coup plot. How does this affect preparations for elections scheduled for the end of July?
