15m people in Ethiopia will need food aid by 2016 – BBC News
The United Nations has warned that more than 15 million people in Ethiopia will be in need of food aid by the beginning of 2016 because of a severe drought. A lack of rain has meant that crop yields in the worst-affected areas are down by 90% this year.
The Ethiopian government has set aside nearly £130m to deal with the crisis but the UN says a further £330m is needed.
Clive Myrie reports from Kobo in northern Ethiopia.

Hawk Fire wildfire in Nevada expected to rage for another two days, say officials | BBC News
US fire crews have reported progress in their efforts to tackle a large wildfire menacing the city of Reno, Nevada – saying the blaze is about a quarter contained.
The Hawk Fire, which began on Saturday, had spread over 15,000 acres by Monday, firefighters said.
Evacuation orders remain in place for 23,000 people, though other residents have now been allowed to return to their homes. Tens of thousands of other residents have been told to be ready to leave at any moment.
Officials are concerned that gusts of wind could drive the flames towards more homes. Unfavourable weather conditions are forecast for the next two days, meaning the fire could continue to burn during that timeframe.

Today, we discuss China’s £14.7bn investment into AI and robotics in the hopes of overtaking the US as the world leader in innovation.
China has two million robots already working in factories, and is investing heavily in the hopes that one day they could bridge gaps in an already sluggish economy. What can these robots do? And what does the future look like for workers? Our China correspondent Laura Bicker has been to some of these factories, and is on the line to debrief.
Plus, the government has announced more details about their housing plans, including where 70,000 social and affordable homes will be built in England over the next 10 years. 60% of the new homes would be for social rent, despite Andy Burnham telling The Social Housing Podcast in May he “would actually devote all of it to social housing.”.
Is Andy Burnham delivery what he promised? Adam is joined by Alex and housing correspondent Tarah Welsh.

The Ethiopia government needs to change the mentality,the nice land in Gambela has been given to Saud Arabia company to cultivate export rice,leaving Ethiopians fighting with flies
It is hard to understand why with technology we have now ,a country needs Everytime begging foods
Ethiopia has rivers and lakes ,if Egypt can feed his people ,why Ethiopia can't,
Another problems ,these peoples are very religious , instead of thinking how to get solutions,they pray God to give the solution in vain

Reports like this make no sense if it doesn't introduce the context. Ethiopian economy has been going very well for a long time, being hailed as the miracle of Africa, the fastest growing in the world for quite a number of years (as of the time of the report). I don't doubt that somewhere in Ethiopia someone is starving, but there has to be context: how many are truly affected, where, and why. Otherwise if one just pick a few people and say "here are starving people", well you can go to a rich country like the US and find people who need food aid.
