I could be a vegetarian.

Vegan or a chef.

Pekka on Pekka, eikä mikään pikasso.

Kun Pekka maalaa grillikatoksensa, pitää sudin pysyä kädessä maalin seinässä ja naapurin kateellisena.

Siksi Pekka luottaa parhaisiin välineisiin ja osaamiseen.

Niinpä hän suuntaa K-rautaan, jolloin maalaus onnistuu pinnalla millä hyvänsä.

Maaliostoksilla voit voittaa myös 10 tonnia rempparahaa.

Lätkäkisoissa suomalainen voittaa ainakin Biilteeman mainoksessa.

Katso Suomen matsit ja jatkopelit ja pidä luuri valmiina.

Kun näet Biilteema mainoksen, nappaa siitä QR-koodi ja käytä se äkkiä.

Nopein voittaa Biilteema tuotteen ja se voit olla sinä.

Olen Nick Miles ja olen johtanut haitallisesta roolista muutamia kertoja alkuperäisissä vuosina. Pohjallisuudessa ja poliittisessa rauhallisuudessa, joiden jälkeen maa on tullut yhä laajemmaksi rauhallisuudesta. BBC-kysymyksen järjestäjällä Nawal Al-Meghafi, joka on huomannut haitallisesti, olen johtanut haitallisen demokraattisen aktivistin Monique Kleskaan.

women's rights group organiser Pascal Solage and Diana Manilla Arroyo, who works for the medical charity Médecins Sans Frontières in the Haitian capital Port-au-Prince. Together we will talk about Haiti's current problems, but also look at the people who are working hard to resolve them and prove that their country is far from being beyond hope.

The lazy shorthand, the cliché, if you like, for Haiti is that it's the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. A hopeless case that's not known stability for decades, where violent gangs rule and international aid providers are fighting a losing battle with the chaos.

But let's interrogate that narrative a bit. First of all, some basics. Haiti is a country in the Caribbean, neighboring the Dominican Republic. Eleven million people live there. It famously gained independence from France over 200 years ago after a slave revolt.

A bold start for a new nation, but countless times since then it's been hit by waves of political violence and natural disasters. Poverty has led to hundreds of thousands of people leaving, looking for a better life abroad. But over the next half hour we'll be hearing from people who say it doesn't have to be that way.

Yes, there are huge problems. The government is only in control of small parts of the capital, Port-au-Prince. And we won't gloss over any of that or any of the other challenges that Haiti faces. What we will do is look at the seeds of change that can break the cycle of violence and instability. We're going to do that in the company of three people who know Haiti extremely well.

Noelle Al-Meghafi on BBC's investigations correspondent. She's been in Haiti twice this year, speaking to gang members and others trying to get by. Monique Kleska is a Haitian, a political rights activist, normally based in Port-au-Prince. Pascal Solage is another Haitian woman and runs a women's rights organisation for victims of sexual violence in Port-au-Prince.

We're going to start though with something that they're all very familiar with. Wael and I caught up with Diana Mania Arroyo, who ran the medical charity MSF in Port-au-Prince until earlier this year. She began by telling us the difficulties facing people in Haiti right now.
