Three centuries until they were swallowed up by the roman empire. Now all that s left are the enigmatic remains of their great desert cities of petra and hegra, in modern day jordan and saudi arabia. And this is where i have come to explore, to find out how they survived and thrived here, who they were, and even what they looked like. I want to search for clues about their world. I ll investigate their ancient sites, delving deep into their secret tombs and sanctuaries. Oh, my goodness! indiana jones, eat your heart out. Wait till you see this. I m tracking down the leading experts doing new research who will help me build up a picture of the nabataeans. They did not use slave. It s a respectful job. The secret nabataeans possessed is the knowledge of the great deserts around them. And i m going to meet the people who are living here now to try and understand what life was like then in this remarkable landscape. This is what enabled the nabataeans to trade and they re beautiful. Join
In avon lake. We are sometime out from totality here, but we now know that gradually we are now starting on that path of course which has gone from mexico to canada here in the United States as well. But talking about this watch party, really, a buzzing sense of anticipation, when i think thats only grown stronger because weve all been obsessively watching the weather i think its fair to say ever since we got this assignment in recent weeks. It wasnt looking great at all times, but taking a look at the picture behind me right now, you can see a beautiful blue sky here on lake erie. Could we be in for one of the best seats in the house here in the United States . It remains to be seen but of course i think ohio definitely deserves one. It last saw a total eclipse in 1806, it once he and another one for another 400 years. Weve been speaking to people here, one nasa engineer telling me hes drove in last night, has been flipping his car. An emotional and element, a spiritual express, i bel
0ver six months, gaza has been ravaged by war, disease, death and now imminent famine, caused by israels siege. The un calls it a betrayal of humanity. Kibbutz nir oz, right on israels border with gaza, feels like a time capsule stuck in the horrors of the 7th of october. Hamas broke in at dawn. They killed and took Hostage A Quarter of the 400 or so israelis who lived here. Sayed was laying there dead. You could see that he was trying to hold the door closed and actually the door was locked. The army opened the door later. Ron and his family survived in their safe room. Then he recovered dead friends and neighbours, some in pieces. In this house, you know, that was the first time that we realised that we are not looking for only bodies, because the beginning, you know, we took a lot of bodies. The interrupted, terminated lives laundry neatly folded the night before the attack give israelis a sense of moral clarity. Going around this place, you can understand why israelis believe very
Mr netanyahu says that they will go back and they will do that Military Operation in rafah, where1. 4 million Palestinian Civilians are sheltering. Thats something the americans, as things stand, do not want them to do. Mr Netanyahu Isjust saying, you just heard him saying theyre one step away from victory.

And his critics also say that hes prolonging the war artificially for his own political reasons, to escape a day of reckoning for mistakes that he may have made. Now, of course, on both sides, six months on is a very significant milestone. A lot of people didnt think that this war was going to last that long, but i think it might even last a lot longer now. I have been to one of the Israeli Border communities, which was kibbutz n
