The authorities in Vanuatu say they plan to hold a national conference to address rising crime rates. The conference will address community concerns in Vanuatu's two major towns, Port Vila and Santo. Over the past two years, there's been a sharp rise in reported crime, including murder, theft, rapes, and break and enter. The decision also follows the murder of an Australian woman by unknown assailants in Port Vila.

Presenter: Caroline Tiriman
Speakers: Peter Salemalo, first political advisor to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Vanuatu
