Pudsey hit by credit crunch
The BBC is to 'tone down' the fundraising aspect of this year's Children In Need because of the credit crunch.

Producers of the annual telethon feel it is inappropriate to appeal for money at the moment so will promote alternative ways of helping such as donating time, reports The Sun.

An insider told the paper: "There have been very senior discussions about this as execs are worried. The appeal will come smack bang in the middle of the worst financial crisis for years.

Targeted for death: Brazil's street children​

In addition to facing hunger and want, or children contend with increasing violence from those who make them scapegoats for troubled economic times. In large cities from Buenos Aires to Monterrey, law enforcement agencies are carrying out "class cleansing." They are exterminating children. In Guatemala City in 1990, for example, National Police officers kicked to death 13-year-old Nahaman Carmona on a city street, in plain sight of witnesses. Some 100 street children accompanied Carmona's body to the cemetery, where he was buried under a gravestone that reads, "All I wanted was to be a child, but they wouldn't let me."

While violence against street children is widespread, the phenomenon takes on monstrous proportions in Brazil, where youngsters are regularly beaten, tortured and killed. According to a recent investigation by, the Brazilian Congress, in the past three years 4,611 children--3,781 of them black--were murdered in Brazil, and the rate is rising. At least three children a day are killed, and others disappear without a trace; in October 1990 a common grave containing the bodies of 560 children was discovered in a Sao Paulo cemetery.

Although a growing number of children are killed by other youth in turf wars over drugs, the dirty work is usually carried out by death squads using skills acquired during military rule in the '60s and '70s. The congressional study revealed that in Rio de Janeiro alone at least 180 different death squads operate. Fifteen of these groups target children exclusively and work "under the protection of the police and justice system," according to Congresswoman Rita Camata. The investigation named 103 people--including lawyers, police and former police officers--involved in death squads that murder children.​
