(May 1, 2008) Global food prices soar and the world's poorest people go even hungrier. Food riots fuel political crises in some nations. Rich nations pledge more aid. Will it be enough to stop what some world leaders call "a silent tsunami of hunger"?

This is really and incredible resource that everybody should bookmark: LinkTV's archive of Global Pulse news segments. Every show looks in depth at how a certain piece of news, whether it is the controversy over biofuels, Darfur and China or the collapse of the dollar, it tries to link all the reports around one news topic to reveal how a worldwide narrative is being developed.

I'm really happy to have found this incredible source. Information saturation is one of the worst enemies of political commentators like me. Sometimes I just get paralyzed by how much is out there. Global Pulse is a great aid in sorting the information out of the noise.

In this video clip, Global Pulse takes a look at the World Food Crisis and how it's becoming "a silent tsunami".

Watch it.
