And Somalis are desperately trying to get out of there country according to a new report from the UN. They're trying to cross the Gulf of Aden into Yemen. Our Vanguard correspondents Kaj Larsen and Christof Putzel were on the beach where these refugees were landing, or in some cases, washing up.
As always - let us know if there are any stories out there that we should be paying attention to.

More than 60 police officers, their families and neighbours were injured when a car bomb ripped through a barracks in the northern Spanish city of Burgos at about 4am local time today, emergency services said.
No one was killed in the blast, which blew down the wall of the barracks and shattered windows in nearby houses and a local police station. The Spanish authorities suspect that Eta, the armed Basque separatists, carried out the attack.

The full half hour episode of Vanguard: Beach of Death.
"Vanguard correspondents Christof Putzel and Kaj Larsen first ventured to Somalia in the summer of 2006 during a brief period of fragile stability. They discovered that peace reigned in the capital for a few weeks after 15 years of bloody civil war in what the world labeled a failed state. Shortly after they left the country, however, Ethiopian forces backed by US air power invaded Somalia to drive the ruling Islamic Court Union out of the capital, Mogadishu. Somalia plunged back into war.
Threatened by renewed violence and devastating poverty, countless Somalis once again fled their homes in search of peace and security. Tens of thousands try to escape in small boats across the dangerous Gulf of Aden. As Christof and Kaj found on a return to the region, many don't make it, and those who do face an uncertain future in the vast, alien desert of Yemen."
