crew arrived in Palau at the end of 2013 to shoot the reality show 'Octpob'
on one of the archipelago's more than 500 islands. The show leaves
contestants in isolated locales with limited water and food to test their
survival skills. In 2004, the US version of the show, Survivor, was also
shot in Palau.

*Helping Africa's urban poor gain from modernization
<http://www.irinnews.org/report.aspx?reportid=99590>*
[image: lead photo]NAIROBI, 4 February 2014 (IRIN) - Plans to reshape and
modernize African cities, in part driven by investment, architecture and
construction companies seeking new markets, could deepen existing social
inequalities, according to recent research. But these development plans
could also benefit the poor if governments are responsive to the needs of
their citizens, argue analysts.

<http://www.irinnews.org/report.aspx?reportid=99593>*
[image: lead photo]BUENOS AIRES, 5 February 2014 (IRIN) - In the decades
since a brutal military crackdown in Argentina in the late 1970s, when
thousands of disappearances occurred, the country has been driven by
activist pressure to become a global leader in forensic anthropology, a
field that holds lessons for other post-conflict countries trying to
identify missing people, say experts.

[image: lead photo]LONDON, 7 February 2014 (IRIN) - The International
Criminal Court's (ICC) case against Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta, long
beset by controversies and delays, has heightened tensions between the ICC
and the African Union (AU). But while dropping the case could alleviate
friction, some say it may also erode the power of the court, which to date
has only issued one judgement.
