I'm Celia Hatton with your weekly deep dive into a story that's making news and changing lives.
And this week we're looking at the Caribbean country of Haiti and we're asking, can it break free from its troubled history?
Violence has been surging in Haiti since Sunday and the country's powerful gangs united to overthrow two major prisons in the capital, freeing thousands of inmates.
That's led to a state of near anarchy in Port au Prince.
Gangs already control most of the city and hundreds have died in violence since the start of the year.
The UN Security Council says Haiti's reached a critical point, concerns that are echoed by the UN's Chief Humanitarian Coordinator on the ground.
I'm talking about a level of violence that is used indiscriminately.
We have big parts of the capital that is currently paralyzed.
Schools are closed, many hospitals have had to close.
A lot of the infrastructure is also closing and have been attacked by these well armed gangs.
The prime minister, Ariel Henry, was out of the country when the gang stormed the prisons.
They're also trying to take over the airport, preventing Mr.
Henry's return.
The deeply unpopular leader had promised to hold elections, but he missed last month's election deadline.
Gang leaders are demanding he quit.
If Ariel Henry does not resign, if the international community continues to support him, we'll be heading straight for a civil war that will lead to genocide.
The US has urged Ariel Henry to move forward with plans to establish a transitional government that can oversee elections as soon as possible.
