	Description:		A new treatment for malaria in babies and very small children has just been approved; we hear more about the drug expected to save many lives. Also in the programme: is Israel's new plan to create a so-called “humanitarian city” for Palestinians in Gaza from where they could “voluntarily” emigrate, actually legal? And a report on the environmental damage caused by China's rare earth mineral industry.
