The BBC's Today programme has this (audio file):
"Malaria, poverty, HIV and political violence have left Zimbabwe with more than 1.5m orphans in a country of just 11m people - more per head of population than anywhere else on earth. Correspondent Mike Thomson, in the second of his undercover reports from Zimbabwe, reports on the plight of Zimbabwe's orphaned youngsters. Note: The BBC is not allowed to operate legally in Zimbabwe so some names and places in Mike's report have been changed to protect the identities of some of those he's spoken to."
