And today im in birmingham, alabama, which is in the rolling foothills of the appalachians. They say that wars are fought to change maps, and this episode of strange inheritance is actually about a map, a very old map, and one that survives in a family whose history spans from texas to virginia and then back here to alabama. My name is Patrick Martin. My parents died in 1999, and my sister and i inherited the house and contents. We were surprised when we figured out what it contained. The house that patrick and his sister, peggy, inherited here in birmingham is now their home. Patrick, thank you so much for having me over. Its our pleasure.

On the fringes of the Security Council, the tensest of negotiations.

I would call upon those who are in favour of the draft resolution to raise their hand. When it came to a vote, the Russian Ambassador held his arm aloft not to wield a veto, but to finally agree.

While weve been arguing over commas, assads planes have been killing more civilians in their homes and in their hospitals, imposing unbearable suffering. T
