News story from Zimbabwe

http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5hawxU6Y79f-RWy_s8pLiL6FbpQugD949GTVG0
Who, what, when, where, why, and how. The article is about a bank that has had money transferred to it to pass on to people fighting AIDS in southern Africa. The people who have given Zimbabwe the money say that unless that money is fully recovered they will give no more money to help AIDS in Zimbabwe again. This article was written on November 7th 2008 ago but the bank missed the deadline to give the money away on November 4th 2008. It does not say in the article exactly why they have not given up the money only that they still have seven million dollars to give back. The people that has given this money are very annoyed since Zimbabwe have a very serious case of AIDS and this money would really of helped and the bank has not released this money in a time of need.
The reason this is a big story is because of Magnitude. The outcome of the events that this story tells of are massive for people in Zimbabwe. Because of what has happened millions of people who are infected with AIDS now cannot get treatment for this disease. That is magnitude because of the number of people that this one story could effect forever. Lots of people could die of the disease between now and the time they recover the money. They will have died for no reason.
