Shelagh Fogarty and the BBC's Central America Correspondent Will Grant look at El Salvador's chronic gang problem, and ask if a truce agreed almost two years ago could be the answer for other nations plagued by similar issues. Hear from gang members and from relatives of the victims - and hear what happens when police in El Salvador take to the streets to tackle the issue head on.
