i ve been lucky enough to explore a lot of africa, but what i ve heard about cabo verde is that you get this real sense of worlds and cultures colliding. so, if you take a look at the shops and some of the market stalls, they re selling african style arts and crafts. the churches look like they ve been lifted straight from a street in europe. and with a shared ancestry and heritage, you really get this south american feel through the people and the music. cabo verde consists of ten islands and was a portuguese colony till 1975. atjust 30 kilometres long and 12 kilometres wide, sal is one of the archipelago s smallest islands but the most popular for tourists. many visitors stay in santa maria, in the south of sal, and it caters for their every need. but i want to get a real taste of life here. and to do that, i need to head to the beach and get myself a guide. he speaks creole oh, sorry! english. oh! i only talk english! you look local. it s not the first time someone has tol

There are still places that surprise me, even after travelling for nearly 20 years countries that appear to be one thing but, when you dig a little deeper, turn out to be something completely different. This is pretty spectacular. It is, it is. And im loving all the colours. The cabo verde archipelago, located just over 600km from senegal s coast, is one of them.

will come into place. the finnish president talked about what he hoped would get out of this for finland but he mentioned sweden a number of times, talking about the fact he is time5, talking about the fact he is working closely to help sweden also become a nato member. sweden applied at the same time as finland. he also mentioned a response to a journalist asking about russia, the pressure put by rush out onto finland. he said we do not want that others say what we should do and what we can do. i think it is a good time now to bring in christine ages an associate professor in politics and international relations at the swinburne university of technology in melbourne. thank you forjoining u5 thank you forjoining us on a programme. fir5t thank you forjoining us on a programme. first of all, your reaction to the news that finland has a scientific on the 315t official member of nato.
