From KCRW in Santa Monica and PRI, Public Radio International, this is To the Point.

Wars, natural disasters, and a refugee generation.

Hello again, I'm Armin Alney, and this is To the Point from Public Radio International,

a daily look at the issues Americans cut about most.

60 million people have been forced out of their homes worldwide.

More than ever before in history.

30 million are children.

The world's poorest countries are bearing most of the burden as the UN and other organizations

run short of resources for humanitarian aid.

The UN is also taking some of the blame for failing to mediate conflicts and reduce violence.

Many member nations like things the way they are.

Are countries in the Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia losing a generation of children?

Today's talking point, the power of white supremacists online. First,

here's the news. Listen to KCRW's 24-hour all-news channel, stream BBC World Service, NPRW and

KCRW programs. Continuous coverage on our mobile app or online at KCRW.com.

Support for To The Point comes from the members of KCRW and from the Public Radio International Program Fund.

Hello again, I'm only back with To the Point. Around the world, more people have been forced from their homes than at any time in history. The number of refugees has doubled in just 10 years and 30 million are children. We'll heard about measures being taken to stem the tide and the consequences if they should fail. Today's talking point, Dylan Roof, appears to have been inspired by the white supremacist web site of a group that contributes to Republican politicians.

Since the killings in Charleston, what will they do with the money?

First is news update. Both Israel and Palestinian militants are accused of what may amount to war crimes in last year's bloody battle in the Gaza Strip.

That's the finding of a two-person independent commission reporting to the UN's Human Rights

Council.
