Eight Forty-Eight is pre-empted for a special episode of the World Vision Report. According the U.N. World Food Program there are now more than a billion people in the world who are in urgent need of food. Another 20 million are simply hungry. The World Vision Report talks with a U.N. official about why there are so many starving people in the world and how to feed them. That story, selling sticks for a living in Sierra Leone and selling your body for a living in India.

Tune in Monday, Aug. 15 as Eight Forty-Eight kicks off a week of specials and rebroadcasts.
