angola is the site of manhattan and in many ways looks like a plantation, you see people going to the field with hose over their shoulders, this man, a muslim, strong leader in the prison, 28 years, he appealed his case in court, twentysomething times before they let him go and he runs a big organization and he said we know when you're doing this research and want to write this book it is important but ask volunteers going in are you giving people the help they need or to help you think they need? to ask the faith-based groups why are they there is a simple question but are they there because of the captive population, you can proselytize to and there is no hope, this is the only thing people have, are they trying to do broader work to repeal or change the law that puts so many people in prison, put so many men and women disproportionately african-american, latino, in prison? are they there out of a charitable impulse? are they there to be in prison, change them, radicalize them so they want to be more involved politically, there was an important question that i found but i also found

i went to angola in the women's prison in texas in the research i do is to spend time with people and understand the world they live in. a imprisoned, that's very difficult because you are not in prison and they limit access to the you can talk to. some i could move around and talk to people, others they had a binder with me at all times are sometimes i could speak to someone in a room. sometimes they couldn't. and so the access really varies. i read about that in the book, so whatever i said, is limited by who i am, who i was able to talk to. i just came back from the women's prison i dedicated the book to the students i work there and they all read the book. a lot of them see this is familiar to them even though they're not operating under too much religious programming. they said it brings true. a lot of people formerly in prison. talking to them what's important and useful because they are not there anymore so they could speak more freely. one of the main drivers of the book was the question i was asked by a man who spent 28 years in angola prison. many people know it is named aft

the bbc‘s mayeni jones is in angola's capital luanda.unced that polling stations that had opened late would be given an extra hour to vote. many stations outside the capital, luanda, particularly those in remote areas, opened late, because a number of the election furniture, ballot papers and other materials that are needed to vote had to be taken over there by helicopter, and according to the electoral commission, those helicopters had technical issues. these polling stations in remote areas are given more time to vote. but the opposition is concerned that, because it is night—time now here in angola, the safety of the ballots could be compromised. a number of these remote areas have a shortage of electricity. in the capital here, luanda, voting today went fairly smoothly. i went to a number of polling stations, where people told me that they wanted to see change, particularly young people. 60% of the population of angola is under the age of 25, and they have been particularly badly affected by the economic crisis. there has been a shor

currently, dos santos is praised by many in angola for his role in ending the civil war, but he is also drawn more and more criticism or the way he has been dealing with the country's oil reserves. >> a lot of people say dos santos has outlined his own and his party's pockets much to the detriment of everyone else. >> there is a reminder of that in a paper from angola focusing particularly on the president's daughter, isabel dos santos. she is reputed to be the richest woman in africa. forbes estimated her fortune to be about $3.5 billion, a which isfortune, largely due to her father's position. angola has one of the highest poverty rates in the world. >> such a rich country but with certain divisions. morocco, aon to video of young women being sexually assaulted by a gang of teenage boys on the bus has reignited this debate about violence against women. >> this is really one of the leading stories right now. let's start with this cartoon. it shows the situation for a lot of women who are subjected to violence, whether physical violence, verbal violence, and meanwhile they are not encou

the angola population is growing.lection on wednesday will have to invest in people. this will be essential to maintaining social stability in future elections. in a new bbc documentary, princes william and harry have been recalling the seven days between their mother's death and her funeral. they describe how they were left "numb and confused" by the first news of diana's death, and their gratitude for the seclusion of balmoral castle in scotland. of the decision to walk behind their mother's coffin on the day of the funeral, both say it was a collective, family decision. here's more of what they had to say. when you have something so traumatic as the death of your mother when you are 15, as, sadly, many people have experienced... ..nobody wants to experience it. it leaves you, it can either make or break you. and i wouldn't let it break me. i wanted it to make me. i wanted her to be proud of the person i would become. i didn't want her worried or her legacy to be about, you know, william and/or harry, that we were d
