UN say poverty must end to limit deaths from disasters

The United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon says extreme poverty
must be stopped in order to limit the number of deaths from disasters.

His comments come after a report revealed that low and middle-income
nations suffer far greater loss of life compared to wealthier ones
when faced with earthquakes and extreme weather events.

William Denselow reports from UN headquarters in New York.
