Slumdog stars promised new homes

The government of the Indian state of Maharashtra has announced it will give new homes to the two child stars of the hit film Slumdog Millionaire.

On Thursday, director Danny Boyle said a trust he set up had already bought a new home for one of the children and that a property would soon be purchased for the other.

Rubina Ali, 9, and Azharuddin Ismail, 10, both lost their homes earlier this month when the Mumbai (Bombay) authorities demolished parts of their slum.

Anna Holligan reports.
