  • Marie Yolene, Bois De Fer, age 44,  and daughter Marie Geralda Auguste, 17, in a camp opposite the Palace, Cham de Mars.  Marie's son Emanuel was trapped for 12 days before he was eventually rescued ( the New York Times did a feature on him). The daughter recounts: "I was sitting down at the house when it started to rock then blocks and wood started falling, Romario broke his leg, Mum grabbed us all and we got out all except my oldest brother Emanual.  He was trapped. We weren't sure if he was alive or dead but we kept looking for him. Then my mother and Emanuel heard each other. He called out, 'Mamma I'm alive,' Mum told everybody she could find that he  was alive,  journalists, aid workers rescue workers, After 11 days rescuers ( an Israeli SAR) pulled him out, my mother collapsed from joy."

  • Nadine Pleato, opposite a collapsed building in down-town Port Au Prince . She is living in a garage at Latimer 54, near Paloma. She says: "I have just purchased this bag so I can pack a few things and leave Port Au Prince for the provinces. My house was completely destroyed and I lost all my clothes in the quake. All I have left is four pieces of clothing: a skirt and what I am wearing. I have to live and bathe in the street..I didn't know if my mother was alive for six days until she arrived from the provinces with supplies. I was so relieved but I still haven't seen my boyfriend since the morning of the quake. We were with each other a year. He must be dead but I will never know for sure. It's hard to carry on.  How can we be normal now?"

Every four years, The Ball kicks off from its “Mount Olympus”, Battersea Park in London, UK with players dressed in vintage clothing, where the very first game of modern rules football took place in 1864. The Ball celebrates this moment as the birth of modern football, because it gave rise to a common set of rules which enable the whole world to play together. The Ball’s destination is the Opening Ceremony of the FIFA World Cup. Here in 2010, the destination was South Africa.

  • Livis, leaning against a tree at his neighbour Jocelyn's home near Cham de Mars,  Port au Prince. He is helping Jocelyn to rescue his belongings. Livis was not affected directly, he did not lose any family himself,  but his experiences were similar to those of many Haitians living in central Port Au Prince.  He is a Winnie the Pooh fan and reads it to his five children. He says, "If you're excited what is the point? You have no choice but to be calm. Captured in my mind are the scenes immediately after the earthquake: the collapsed buildings, the dead bodies and worst of all the cries for help from those under the debris. The cries that would go unanswered until eventually they stopped. They cried but we couldn't help"

"I was buying some drinking water with my son, Gito and was on the way back  when the ground started rumbling. I cried out, `wow an earthquake!` At that point I looked up to see a two- storey building falling down on me. Large blocks of masonry trapped my arm and fell on my son . My son got free and  went for help. Five men returned and tried to lift the masonry with a large stick but they couldn't do it, they left me. I was petrified, the house next door caught alight and I knew for sure I was going to die" Then I felt someone pulling my arm although no one was there. From that moment I struggled to free myself, I pulled so fiercely that I left my finger behind  It wasn't until two hours later that I realized."

His home fell down on top on him during the earthquake We were all inside but Ronald did not have time to get out.  We must thank God for the opportunity at least, to bury him properly. I feel sorry for the thousands of families who do not have this chance, many cannot find their loved ones. It will be hard for them to move on, it's double the problem.  At least we can visit and put flowers on the grave.  After the quake, there were bodies everywhere many were burnt where they lay or carted off in huge trucks to mass graves."

  • Fishermen from the Maldives haul aboard a yellow fin tuna to the deck of a dhoni boat in the Indian Ocean. The tuna has been swimming across the Indian Ocean non-stop since birth but after being dragged up with hooks, the 50kg fish will be clubbed to death by smashing its skull with repeated blows. Next it will be gutted efficiently with sharp knives and immediately plunged into ice containers to cool the flesh, reducing the risk of self-deteriorating flushed blood which renders it unfit for consumption under EU law (its live internal core temperature is 40 degrees centigrade). When as many fish have been caught before dark using hand and line method, rather than nets, the boat presses on to the processing factory at Himmafushi where they're filleted and boxed for export to Europe and in particular, for UK supermarkets like Sainsbury's.

  • Female vet, Diana Stapleton is ecstatically happy after successfully delivering twin calves to Fresian cow at Manor House Farm, Barnoldswick near Settle, North Yorkshire, England. With the two youngsters spread on the soft straw of the barn, and their mother facing the corner of the outhouse with the resulting afterbirth still attached, Diana makes her sense of achievement clear to the farmer who must also be relived about the positive outcome. The survival of twin cattle births depends on thorough training and an instinct for animal husbandry and medical requirements. Diana Stapleton belonged to the Dalehead Veterinary Group based in nearby Settle for 15 years, covering a 20-mile area of 500 remote farms though she specialised in small animals and farmwork before dying suddenly at the age of 39.

  • A Haitian sees the bright side as she sits outside her shelter erected opposite the Palace in Cham De Mars. The  choice of cloth for her shack is symbolic and many Haitians are grateful for the aid and support from the US. some  commentators, however,  believe the relationship with the US two hundred miles away,  is what needs to be looked at if things are to improve. One Haitian, Jocelyn, tells me:  "They (The American government)  take with one hand and give with the other.  They swamped Haiti with cheap rice imports putting farmers out of business and forcing them into the capital's slums where they have been aid dependent ever since"

"My sister  is so depressed she hasn't eaten. She lost her husband and  all but one of her five  kids. She hasn't even recovered the bodies. It's necessary to bury our loved ones but the government cleared them away in huge trucks and dumped them in mass graves or they were burnt.  She  has no will to live, she is suicidal. I am looking after her and her kid, one of the bags of food I have is for my sister. I am lucky to get this, if you miss the card distribution you are lucky to get food and getting back with the food is difficult sometimes. The men take it or someone will cut the bag and catch the rice in a bucket, before you realise. All the same, we are thankful for the aid."

(http://www.hhelpingh.org) Alex Juste was lying on his bed when the earthquake struck: "There was a big shuddering noise, I felt the bed shaking" he says. The walls started opening. I could see right into my neighbours' apartment. I had to see what had happened so I started running. I lost it totally. I was screaming, 'This is the end of the world!'  There were people under concrete,  saying, 'sir, help me,!' But I couldn't do anything." Alex's experience is typical. No Haitian has been left untouched.

As soon as the earthquake struck he made his way to the Radio station; by accident or design, some one had left Hotel California radio station playing on a loop. His staff were afraid to go in but he managed to persuade some journalists to come and chat about what had happened and has been broadcasting ever since. "We had a minimum of 5000 people outside  all the time for four days (not the same people). We just gave them a microphone  and then broadcasted  messages all day. "We were like a phone with two people but broadcasting to the whole city. People would call in , 'My wife and kids are under the debris  - would you send help?'; afterwards they would come back and say, thank you."

  • Janne Orelis, 26  is a Sales Woman with two children, Central Hospital Port Au Prince. "The house collapsed on top of me, crushing my right arm" she says. "I was rescued by my family. If it was not for my husband I would be dead,  but it was two days before I saw a doctor.  The pain was terrible, by the time I got to see a doctor there was no choice but to amputate. I can't stop thinking about my arm. But now I am worried sick about my six month old baby. My family have him with them in the provinces, but he has only ever had breast milk. He could be very hungry. As soon as I am able, I will go to him."

  • The annual running of the tar barrels in Ottery St Mary, Devon is a tradition thought to go back as far as 500 years. Every November the 5th, crowds of thousands flock to this small town in the south west of England to see men, women and children run with burning barrels on their shoulders. Only people who were born in Ottery are allowed to participate, and they are proud of the tradition and work hard to keep it alive, even in the face of health and safety regulations. It is not competitive but rather a supportive act where they pass the barrels between themselves, encouraging everyone in the team to have a go.

  • Vicksburg, Mississippi at dusk. This elegant historic town with its pillar fronted houses and cotton legacy  is transformed as the remains of a storm at sunset  turn the sky iridescent. There are perhaps defining moments on all big trips. Arriving in Vicksburg, Mississippi at dusk just as a  huge thunderstorm was beginning to break was one of them. It had been raining so hard, that an alligator had mistook the four-lane Interstate for the swollen Mississippi beside it and tragically met its death there. But as we drew into elegant Vicksburg, with its pillar-fronted houses on hilly streets, something astonishing happened. The sky, the result of a hot, setting sun, and the remains of a storm, was suddenly alive with an iridescent glow, so otherworldly, it looked like a space ship had landed. A rainbow stretched between two red brick towers, and you could just hear hear a steamer's horn, as it edged its way down the mighty Mississippi.

  • A portrait of two rat catchers in a rice field in Vinh An village which specialises in rat catching, Hung Yen province, Vietnam. The process of catching rats involves a dog to sniff the rat holes to see if any are there and a bamboo trap placed down the hole to catch them when they try to escape and a lot of digging. Up to 20 rats can be caught from a single hole. The rat catchers then remove the rats canine teeth to stop them biting and place them alive in a basket. They are killed and cooked at home and are a special dish in this area, particularly for weddings.

  • Days after the September 11th 2001 attacks in New York and Washington DC, the US government had identified Osama Bin Laden as the head culprit of the terrorist action on America. Here, a businessman wearing a smart dark suit and polished loafers bends down to buy the latest copy of the New York Daily News from an African American vendor near Wall Street in the heart of New York’s financial district. Bin Laden’s demonic face is spread across the front page and the words “Wanted: Dead or Alive” tells Americans that their al-Qaeda evil-doer will be caught eventually, like a baddie rounded up by the Sheriff by the last scene of a Hollywood western.
