[00:00.60]This is a rare charity report bringing good news.
[00:03.79]It says that around the world the chances of a child going to school have risen by 1/3 compared with the 1990s.
[00:11.66]And the prospect of children dying in their infancy has also been cut by about 1/3.
[00:17.84]This is partly explained, Save the Children says, by local economic growth in the developing continents of Africa and Asia.
[00:25.71]It also reflects international aid policies which have tended to concentrate on education and health.
[00:32.09]In aid circles schools and hospitals are sometimes called the "Darlings of the Donors".
[00:38.17]But the report also warns that underlying child malnutrition is on the rise because of high food prices and global inequality.
[00:47.41]This is a more hidden problem, and more difficult to tackle.
[00:51.16]Save the Children said it welcomed the idea of a Hunger Summit to be held in London during the Olympics.
[00:57.28]It called on donor countries to invest more in small scale agriculture and especially to support women farmers.
[01:05.41]The report said developing country governments should concentrate on reducing income inequalities and improving health care for mothers.
