Iran to the south, with the caspian sea on one side, and georgia and armenia on the other. I want to explore the many faces of azerbaijan, both old and new, through its people, culture and food to find out more about this diverse and complex country. Baku is a swing its a jazz fish, yeah my favourite i love fish. Nazrin, hi. And, there are horses yeah. I didnt know were going to have horses. Im also here to find out why the likes of you and me, potential tourists, are seen as the bright new hope as an alternative to black gold. So, welcome to azerbaijan. When you look at the guidebook, or on travel websites, or in fact almost anything about azerbaijan, they all start by telling you the same thing azerbaijan is the land of fire huge natural gas and oil deposits are so close to the surface that they cause these natural fires to spring out of the ground. Fires which burned continuously for over 4,000 years were once common across azerbaijan, but this is now the last. Right up here, its re
With the drones and ai dealing with the changing climate of this blossoming industry. Were also in the rural communities, where ai is improving prenatal care. And we explore the piles of electronic waste making locals choose between lives and livelihoods. Agriculture plays a huge part in many peoples livelihoods in kenya in fact, the industry employs more than 40 of the total population. But Climate Change is having a real impact on the crops there, and you might be surprised to find out what one of the most sensitive crop types is. Flowers. They have a specific window for being grown and sold and if the weathers out of sorts, it can completely derail the process. But technology can help, and Shiona Mccallum has spent a day on a rose farm in naivasha to find out more. 0ur years are punctuated by times that we want to buy flowers valentines, birthdays, christmases and the chances are when you look in your bouquet, one of the stems wouldve been grown here in kenya.

Mr netanyahu said a ceasefire would not be agreed until israeli hostages, captured by hamas in october, were released. Translation the achievements of the war are great. We eliminated 19 out of 2a of the hamas battalions, including senior commanders. We killed, wounded or captured a significant number of hamas terrorists. We purged shifa and many other Terrorist Headquarters as well. We destroyed factories, manufacturing rockets, control rooms, weapons, ammunition, and we continue to systematically destroy what is underground. We are one step away from victory. Israel is not the one preventing a deal. Hamas prevents a deal. Its extreme demands were intended to bring about an end to the war and leave it intact, meaning to ensure its survival, its rehabilitation, its ability to endanger our citizens and our soldiers. Surrendering to hamas demands will allow it to try to repeat the Crimes Of October Seventh again and again, as it promised to do. Hamas hopes that the pressure from outside
Big demonstrations because the two movements, one to free the hostages and the other one to get rid of Benjamin Netanyahu, theyve come together now, theyre jointly organising.

And theyve just found the body of one of the hostages from Kibbutz Nir Oz, in fact, which is where i think well be hearing some of the interviews i did there as well. And as well as that, as well as the war in gaza, as well as the destruction there, as well as the need to try to get humanitarian aid in because of that imminent famine oxfam said that in Northern Gaza since january, 300,000 people have been existing on roughly 240 calories a day, the equivalent of a small tin of beans as well as all of that, dont forget, theres the wider middle east and it was onl
For as long as i can remember, ive wanted to go back home. Home to the place where i was born. A home i hadnt seen in 30 years. Its also 30 years since the genocide, which killed about 800,000 people. I was one of the lucky ones. My family and i got away, but many didnt. Now im returning to my home country to trace back my escape route when i was just 12 years old. Theres no sound that fills me with so much joy as the sound of children in a classroom. As i am reunited with my family, i also want to uncover the countrys journey to healing and reconciliation. This is one of the groups that carsa has, made by Genocide Survivors and the genocide former perpetrators. And ill be hearing from those who had a role in the killings and their survivors.
