Hey, I'm Hans Rosling!

0:00:02.279,0:00:04.599
And to me, the most important report

0:00:04.599,0:00:06.400
in September every year is,

0:00:06.400,0:00:08.480
"Levels & Trends in Child Mortality",

0:00:08.480,0:00:11.800
published by Unicef,[br]World Health Organization,

0:00:11.800,0:00:13.400
the World Bank and the United Nations.

0:00:13.400,0:00:15.439
The best statisticians in the World

0:00:15.439,0:00:18.079
have compiled reports from all countries,

0:00:18.079,0:00:19.960
and what does it tell us?

0:00:19.960,0:00:24.039
The number of deaths in children[br]keeps falling,

0:00:24.039,0:00:27.440
and the rate it's falling with[br]is even faster

0:00:27.440,0:00:28.839
than it used to be.

0:00:28.839,0:00:31.800
Good news in september, this year!

0:00:31.800,0:00:33.159
What does it mean?

0:00:33.159,0:00:35.520
If twenty children are born in the world

0:00:35.520,0:00:37.039
(these are twenty children),

0:00:37.039,0:00:40.439
today it's one of them

0:00:40.439,0:00:44.559
that tragically dies[br]before their fifth birthday.

0:00:44.559,0:00:47.840
We have 5% child mortality in the world.

0:00:47.840,0:00:50.719
That's too much, but it's[br]much better than before.

0:00:50.719,0:00:56.000
Just in 1990, there were[br]twice as many children dying.
