Jaffa after the violence
For a few nights in May, the Israeli city of Jaffa was the scene of violent clashes between Jews and Arabs.

Gay activism in 1990s India
In the early 1990s, when homosexuality was still a criminal offense in India, a group of gay men and lesbian women set up the Counsel Club in the city of Kolkata. It was one of the first queer support groups in India. Their first meetings took place in secret at the home of one of the members. Later, the group campaigned for gay rights in India and helped other gay people with family problems or anxieties over coming out. Mike Lanchin has been speaking to Pawan Dhall, one of the club's founding members.

How does the Taliban keep going?
The Taliban is advancing in Afghanistan, launching major offensives to retake key cities as the last remaining US and international forces prepare to pull out. The group has taken more territory in the past couple of months than it has at any time since being ousted from power in 2001. Tens of thousands of Taliban fighters have been killed during twenty years of fighting, yet the militants remain a potent threat to the survival of the Afghan government, its military, and other institutions nurtured by global powers. So what’s the secret behind the Taliban’s longevity? The UN says the sale of opium and illegal mining provides them with a steady stream of income, as do local taxes. Officials in Kabul also allege that the organisation is being propped up by foreign governments and that it continues to welcome foreign fighters in its ranks. Global efforts to starve them of funds have failed and Taliban officials now openly speak of victory, insisting that the United States has ‘lost’. Who’s helping to prop up the Taliban and what does the last two decades tell us about their strength and potential after the last Western forces have gone?

Anti-vaxxers only
As the pandemic progresses, some opponents of Covid-19 vaccines are taking things one step further.
An emerging international grassroots movement is seeking to create online and offline communities away from the vaccinated world.
Trending meets the people who are setting up dating sites, house share groups, even blood banks specifically for the unvaccinated only.
Underpinning many of these efforts is the totally unfounded belief in “vaccine shedding” - the false idea that the unvaccinated can be made ill simply by being around people who have had a coronavirus jab.
But will any of these alternatives to mainstream society take root?

Jab fears explained: a base rate fallacy
As some countries rapidly roll out vaccination programmes, there have been concerns that increases in infection rates amongst vaccinated groups mean vaccines are less effective than we hoped, especially in the face of the feared Delta variant.
Epidemiologist Dr Katelyn Jetelina from the University of Texas Health Science Centre School of Public Health explains why this isn’t what the numbers show – rather than decreasing vaccine effectiveness, increasing rates can be explained by a statistical phenomenon known as ‘base rate fallacy’.

Travels with my ukulele
Despite its long and rich history, the ukulele has often been snubbed or dismissed as a novelty instrument by the music world. But over the years, rock stars have embraced the guitar’s smaller cousin, from Elvis Presley to the Beatles to Taylor Swift. Kim Chakanetsa meets two women who turned their love for the ukulele into a successful musical career.
When Taimane was gifted a ukulele at 5 years old, it was the start of a musical journey that would take her from busking on the streets to appearing on the world’s biggest stages. She is now considered one of the world’s leading ukulele players and is based in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Zee Avi is a singer-songwriter, ukulele player and guitarist from Malaysia. Zee taught herself to play music when she was a teenager and she got her first record deal at 22, thanks to a video that she posted on the internet back in 2007. Her songs have appeared in numerous TV shows and films.

What’s behind India’s extreme weather events?
Unusually severe rainfall, flooding, and heatwaves in different parts of India have raised questions about extreme weather becoming more common in the country. According to a recent study, India saw the world's largest displacement in 2020 caused by floods and cyclones. The economic loss was estimated to be over 20 billion dollars.
So, with unpredictable and erratic weather patterns, what's the way out to minimize the damage? Is it too late to reverse the impact? And what lessons can be learnt from similar climate incidents happening across the world?

Dido's Lament and the Fourth Symphony by Brahms
Broadcast programme:
Purcell, arr. Stokowski - Dido’s Lament
Brahms - Symphony No. 4 in E minor
BBC National Orchestra of Wales
Ryan Bancroft (conductor)
The BBC Proms are back in the Royal Albert Hall in London with a six-week season of concerts featuring leading British orchestras as well as international soloists and conductors. The weekly World Service broadcasts from the festival begin with perhaps the best known of Henry Purcell's arias, Dido's Lament from his opera Dido and Aeneas. We’ll hear it in an arrangement for strings only by the 20th-century conductor Leopold Stokowski.
Johannes Brahms wrote his Fourth Symphony two centuries after Purcell but there is a link between the Lament and the Symphony's last movement: they are both built on a single bass line. In fact, Brahms was very keen to use and adapt compositional techniques from the past in his own music and the melody that serves as the main theme of the Symphony's fourth movement is actually a modified bass line from JS Bach's Cantata BWV 150. Brahms was on an editorial committee that was preparing the first modern publication of Bach's cantatas and this may be where his inspiration came from.
Presenter Andrew McGregor is joined by the Australian conductor Natalie Murray-Beale.

Africa’s vaccine ambitions
Africa is a continent of 1.3 billion people, but only makes 1% of the lifesaving vaccines it needs. The continent’s 54 nations are almost entirely dependent on agencies like Unicef and Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, for these essential pharmaceuticals. But the pandemic of 2020 has been a harsh lesson in the dangers of relying on other countries and agencies for such crucial provisions.
Numerous vaccine clinical trials have been conducted in Africa, yet these nations still find themselves at back of the queue for Covid 19 jabs. However, efforts are now underway to change this. At a conference in early April, African leaders pledged to manufacture 60% of the vaccines they need by 2040. But is this an achievable goal? Building a successful vaccine manufacturing sector will need several things to come together at the same time: financial investments amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars; expanding expertise in scientific research and development; long term commitments from governments to purchase a range of vaccines; and globally recognised regulatory bodies. At the moment, Africa is lacking many of these elements. This is a situation which is clearly neither acceptable nor sustainable.
In this documentary Rhoda Odhiambo speaks with the key figures working to harness the intellectual and financial capital of the world’s fastest growing populations to make vaccine manufacturing in Africa a home grown industry, rather than a global charity case.
Guests:
Dr Ama Pokuaa Fenny, Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of Statistical, Social and Economics Research, University of Ghana.

Repairing Lebanon’s economy
On this edition of Business Weekly, we look into Lebanon’s economy - a country going through the worst economic crisis since its civil war of the 70s and 80s, with severe disruption to basic services and food shortages, exacerbated by the deadly port blast of a year ago that killed more than 200 people. We also hear from Zambia, where the pandemic has meant the usual cash-rich tourists have stayed away and the economy is dominating the general election campaign. Plus we look at another attempt to narrow the gender gap in science and engineering careers by introducing female role models into toy dolls.

There was a time when the mass kidnapping of Nigeria school children made headlines around the world. These days it has become almost the norm. So too have horrific attacks by the Islamist group which calls itself, Boko Haram. Meanwhile the Biafran secessionist movement has once again become a source of conflict in the country’s south east: the army stands accused of killing civilians there, while the government insists they are putting down an armed insurgency. Mayeni Jones describes what it’s like to live and work amidst such widespread violence.
Australians pride themselves on being a freedom-loving people, not taking kindly to rules and regulations. This goes back to modern Australia’s early years as a penal colony, they will tell you, when cocking a snook at authority was a matter of pride. So how are they taking to some of the toughest Covid lockdown measures in the world, and the idea of troops enforcing a curfew in Sydney? Phil Mercer has been watching what happens when two opposing instincts meet.
The songs sung on Singapore’s National Day of August 9th are not exactly subtle. Urging citizens to stand together, they offer a vision of the nation as one of ethnic harmony: ‘We'll be united, hand in hand, We'll show the world just where we stand, Every creed and every race, Has its role and has its place.’ And yet a video has gone viral in Singapore, which some argue shows the reality behind this myth. It depicts the kind of racism which Sharanjit Leyl says has dogged her throughout her life.
When Charlotte Ashton set off to research the culinary potential of the carob plant, she brought along two very important assistants: her young children. That’s because carob is being touted as a substitute for chocolate, and an economically important one in Cyprus where it is widely grown. You can make it into a sweet syrup; you can serve up meat in a carob sauce. But does it really have the potential to knock chocolate off its perch?

Is there a ‘chefsplainer’ in your kitchen?
Is there someone in your life who needs to have total control in the kitchen? Someone who breathes down your neck, micromanages your every move and can’t resist explaining exactly how to chop a carrot? If so, you may be in the company of what we’re calling ‘a Chefsplainer’. Or perhaps all this rings a bell because you are a chefsplainer? Whoever you are - this episode of The Food Chain is for you.
Emily Thomas meets a married couple, a mother and son, and two friends to unpack their power dynamics in the kitchen. They explore why some people feel the need to take control over the cooking, how this reflects our emotional attachment to food, and whether what happens in the kitchen reflects or changes relationships outside it. Plus - why do some of us think that it’s ok to behave in certain ways in the kitchen - that we wouldn’t dream of elsewhere?

Discovering my sister's inner world
A complicated sisterhood: growing up, Arifa Akbar and her older sister Fauzia had shared everything from a bedroom, to secrets, to favourite movies and books. They'd moved from Lahore, Pakistan to London for a better life but ended up destitute. The change took its toll on Fauzia who developed depression as a teenager. Complex feelings of jealousy and anger took over and the two became estranged. Then in 2016, when Fauzia was 45, she contracted a mysterious illness. The sisters reconciled at Fauzia's bedside before she passed away but Arifa wanted to know more about the sister she'd lost and the illness that had killed her. She tells Anu Anand about an extraordinary journey that began in North London and took her all the way to the Sistine chapel in Rome.
A longer version of this story was first broadcast on Monday 28th of June. You can find the longer version here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3ct1jt6

Malta: The Island where abortion is a crime
Malta is the last country in Europe to still criminalise abortion. A majority Catholic country, prior to Covid-19 Malta was due a visit from the Pope and similar to the US it is often made an election issue. Doctors for Choice, a group of pro-choice medical professionals, was set up last year and they have received major criticism in the country – with hundreds of doctors writing a letter in response in support of pro-life laws and treatments.
Since coronavirus hit, the number of Maltese women approaching the UK-based Abortion Support Network increased considerably who help women with their abortion fund. They have already had more requests from women than they received from the whole of 2019.
Why the UK? The UK has historic links with Malta – where most people are bilingual with English – as well as offers abortion on request for the longest time period in Europe. Also, Italy has strict abortion laws in comparison and so the Maltese can’t rely on a nearby country to get them. Therefore they need to fly – which is tough if you don’t have much money and would raise eyebrows from your family if you disappeared for a few days. It’s even bigger trouble when the airports close.
In this programme Sophia Smith Galer explore the strength of feeling around abortion in Malta. Why is it the last country to still criminalise abortion and what does the future hold for the relationship between church and state there.

Changing World, Changing Bodies
How modern life is changing our feet
For nearly two million years we evolved in close sync with our environment but 250 years ago the industrial revolution happened and changed everything. The innovation and technology it brought had many benefits but there was a physical cost as progress also designed out movement from our lives.
From spending hours on our feet outdoors, our jobs have moved indoors and largely involve sitting down for most of the day in offices, factories or driver cabs. It has resulted in feet that are getting flatter, backs that are weaker and eyes that cannot see very much without help.
Dr Vybarr Cregan-Reid hears from evolutionary biologists, academics, anatomists and public health professionals in Singapore, Kenya, Australia, the UK and the United States; about the impact of modern life on our physical self and what we can do to return our bodies to the state that nature intended.
The good news is there is no need to spend hours on treadmills or pumping iron, in fact we would injure ourselves a lot less if we were a bit more cautious when exercising. Our bodies are marvellously adaptable and reintroducing small movements into our daily lives in most cases will do the trick!

Inside the mind of crime writer Patricia Highsmith
Patricia Highsmith was one of the most successful suspense writers of the 20th century. Known especially for her novels The Talented Mr. Ripley, Carol and Strangers on a Train, she created complex and alluring characters, capable of terrible things and at the same time deeply human. Yet for much of her life, Highsmith herself remained an enigmatic figure, often seen as eccentric, troubled and difficult. But she had a circle of close friends who were loyal to the end.
Presenter Bridget Kendall is joined by Andrew Wilson, author of the first biography of Highsmith, and Vivien De Bernardi, a close friend of Highsmith's during her later years in Switzerland.

Composer and Pianist Nils Frahm
Packed with warmth, humour and genuine insight, this unmissable edition of In The Studio focusses on All Melody, the 2018 work and tour by contemporary composer and pianist, Nils Frahm. The programme reveals the creative, emotional and physical processes involved when new material is combined with vast stage shows for an international schedule of truly daunting proportions.
Captured during a number of visits to his studio, Nils opens up to his good friend, Sebastian Schipper, director of single-take Berlin heist, Victoria, for which Nils composed the award-winning original score. He also chats to his biggest fan, British TV, film and stage writer, Sam Bain. Not only does the show combine three incredible minds of music, film and TV, the audience is also treated to an immersive binaural experience, recorded at London’s Barbican Centre during a run of sold-out concerts.
Dropping to a thunder of approval from tastemakers and reviewers the world over, All Melody represented thousands of hours of intense work at Nils’ studio, the refurbished East German palace of mid-20th century tech, Funkhaus Berlin. It is here that he spent nearly 2 years deconstructing and reconstructing his studio, Saal 3. From the cabling and electricity to the woodwork, before moving on to other more demanding elements; building a pipe organ and creating a mixing desk from parts sourced from all over the world.
The pianist is renowned for his unconventional approach to scoring and mixing analogue sounds and so it is in true Frahm style that a wholly unique space would be required to realise his ambitions. This work was born out of the freedom this new environment provided. Nils had to relearn it, adapt it and perform it for eager crowds from Manchester to Montreal, Singapore to San Fransisco…Keeping it All about the Melody.

Today, up to 3 billion people around the world play video games, from candy based mobile puzzles to virtual battlegrounds filled with weapons. Many people have turned to gaming during the pandemic as a way of staying connected – but what does science really say about the impact of gaming?
Does playing violent video games lead to violence in the real world? Do brain training apps really work? How much gaming is too much – can videogames really be addictive? And how can videogames help us to explore difficult issues like death, grief and loss?
Alex Lathbridge and Anand Jagatia look at the evidence and play some games along the way, speaking to psychologists, doctors and game designers about the power of video games to change us - for better or worse.

MON 04:06 The Climate Question (w3ct2dqv)
Is green hydrogen the fuel of the future?
Hydrogen gas has long been recognised as a potentially valuable tool for tackling climate change. The most abundant element in the universe, it is also a clean-burning gas and – in theory – could be used to power almost anything, from our cars and homes, to planes and ships, to agriculture and heavy industry.
We already produce millions of tons of hydrogen each year for use in the chemicals industry, by extracting it from natural gas - a process which emits CO2. But hydrogen can also be made by splitting water molecules with electricity – and when that electricity is powered by renewables it comes without a carbon price tag.
It is this so-called ‘green hydrogen’ that is currently generating hype around the world as the ‘fuel of the future’ and the missing piece of the decarbonisation puzzle. Across the world, governments are announcing far-reaching hydrogen strategies. Fossil fuel companies, too, are investing big, hoping to cash in on the ‘hydrogen boom’.
But for all the talk of green hydrogen as a miracle fuel, it has a long list of drawbacks too. It is expensive, difficult to store, inefficient and explosive. Previous hype cycles around hydrogen have ended in failure for a combination of these reasons. So while experts agree that hydrogen does have a role to play in decarbonisation, the question is – how big should it be? And are we about to spend hundreds of billions of dollars on a white elephant?

My baby triggered a terrifying breakdown
For many women having a newborn baby is one of the happiest times of their lives - but for a tiny proportion that new arrival begins a terrifying nightmare. Kim Chakanetsa talks to two women who experienced extreme psychosis after the birth of their child.
When Catherine Cho’s first child was three months old she and her husband embarked on an extended trip to visit family and friends back home in the US. Their Korean relatives warned that they shouldn’t be travelling so far before the baby was 100 days old. Stressed and exhausted Catherine started seeing frightening things that weren’t there. That trip ended with her admission to an involuntary psychiatric ward, separated from her husband and child and not able to understand who she was or how she got there. She’s written a book about her journey back to reality called Inferno: A Memoir.
Lobeh Osagie-Asiah was born in Gambia and grew up in London. After a psychotic episode when she was a student, she was diagnosed as bipolar and knew she might be at risk of a recurrence in pregnancy or birth. But it wasn't until after her fourth child was born that she experienced postpartum psychosis: she became convinced she was on a mission and that people were trying to kill her to take her baby. She says the getting through the experience has made relationships with her husband, family and friends, so much stronger.
If you are feeling emotionally distressed, or worried about a friend or relative there are links to support organisations on the programme website.

Doping in eSports: the billion-dollar pill
Doping is a growing problem in the multi-billion dollar industry of competitive online gaming – but remains an open secret. As prize money runs in to the millions, are more young people turning to drugs to stay focused to win? With major league eSport athletes admitting to mass doping, we speak with the founder of the world’s first eSport university programme - Dr Glenn Platt at Miami University, Ohio - who tells us the casual attitude to doping for performance enhancement. Varsity eSport players Jared Shapiro and Jennifer Frank tell us that doping using Adderall and Ritalin are engrained within eSports, making it to difficult ban, when so many gamers need them for medical purposes. Doping in eSport regulator Ian Smith from the eSports Integrity Commission says that the major tournament organisers and games publishers should foot the bill for testing – which is severely underfunded. But while the major names – DOTA 2, Overwatch and League of Legends – continue to grow in users during lockdown, Craig Fletcher, an eSports tournament organiser, says the business has less money to spend on regulation, after coronavirus stops people gathering for tournaments.

Tarantulas, Gandalf and my dying brother's bucket list
Royd Tolkien is the great-grandson of JRR Tolkien - writer of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Growing up, Royd and his younger brother Mike were very close, but also very different - Mike was the adrenaline junkie who loved skydiving and bungee jumping, whereas Royd liked nothing better than a cup of tea in the garden. But that would all change after Mike died of Motor Neurone Disease in 2015. He left a bucket list of 50 daring tasks for Royd to complete after his death, and completing them gave Royd a reason to carry on. Royd has written a book about his experience called There's a Hole in my Bucket: A Journey of Two Brothers. He's also made a documentary, There's a Hole in my Bucket, which will be released later this year.
In the Zongo valley in Bolivia, there live creatures that don't exist anywhere else on earth, and we know about some of them because of Trond Larsen and his 'ecological swat team'. Trond is part of Conservation International’s Rapid Assessment Program which sends small teams of scientists out to remote locations to check on the biodiversity of a place if there's a plan for a new road, say, or a new park. And in Zongo in 2017, Trond and the team discovered 20 previously unknown species. Our reporter Jane Chambers spoke to him about his lifelong fascination with the natural world.
The BBC Inspirations Awards have been running for a few years now where we celebrate unsung heroes.

He first spoke to Outlook in 2015 when he told Matthew Bannister how the idea for the Ambulance Wish Foundation came to him in 2006 when he was working as an ambulance driver.

France extends Health Pass to cafes, bars, and restaurants
Today in France, the so-called Health Pass - a digital certificate showing that the holder has had at least one jab of a covid vaccine, a negative test, or has had the virus, is being extended to bars, cafes and restaurants. We speak to Emma Pearson, editor of The Local France and get reaction from Celine Pigier, co-director of Le Hasard Ludique, a venue in Paris.
Many people have had to be evacuated from Greece's second largest island, Evia, due to wildfires. The BBC's Metta Tsikrika is on the island and tells us about the disruption the fires are causing on local residents and businesses, whose property has been destroyed.

Lost for words
Struggling to find words might be one of the first things we notice when someone develops dementia, while more advanced speech loss can make it really challenging to communicate with loved ones. And understanding what’s behind these changes may help us overcome communication barriers when caring for someone living with the condition.
When Ebrahim developed Alzheimer’s Disease, for example, he’d been living in the UK for many years. Gradually his fluent English faded and he reverted to his mother tongue, Farsi - which made things tricky for his English-speaking family who were caring for him. Two decades on, his son, the journalist and author David Shariatmadari, seeks answers to his father’s experience of language loss. What can neuroscience reveal about dementia, ageing, and language changes? Why are some aspects of language more vulnerable than others - and, importantly, what are the best approaches to communicating with someone living with dementia?
David reflects on archive recordings of his dad, and speaks to a family in a similar situation to theirs, to compare the ways they tried to keep communication alive. And he discovers there are actually clear benefits to bilingualism when it comes to dementia: juggling two or more languages can delay the onset of symptoms by around four years. So while losing one of his languages posed practical difficulties for Ebrahim, it’s possible that by speaking two languages in the first place, he was able to spend more valuable lucid years with his family.

Climate change: IPCC report is 'code red for humanity'
Human activity is changing the climate in irreversible ways, a major UN scientific report has said. Nick Molho, executive director of the climate-minded business alliance the Aldersgate Group, explains how deep supply-chain changes need to go to reverse the effect. Also in the programme, tobacco giant Philip Morris has raised its bid to buy respiratory drugmaker Vectura to more than $1bn. Michelle Fleury in New York explains why they are so keen to purchase the niche company. In France, the so-called Health Pass - a digital certificate showing that the holder has had at least one jab of a Covid vaccine, a negative test, or has had the virus, is being extended to bars, cafes and restaurants. We speak to Emma Pearson, editor of The Local France. And staff at Ocado Group, the tech firm behind the online grocer, can now work abroad remotely for one month a year. We'll ask our guests Peter Morici, an economist at the University of Maryland, and Catherine Yeung from Fidelity in Hong Kong, where they would go if they could work anywhere.

Locust Hunters
People in Kenya have been paid to catch swarms of locusts eating farmers’ crops. The insects are full of protein and the captured ones are ground up and put into animal feed. The BBC’s Nick Holland and Claire Bates find out what tricks these 'locust hunters' use to catch the critters and what difference the cull makes.
They also hear about a way of capturing tiny micro-plastic particles that come off car tyres and delve into a clever project feeding homeless people in Mumbai.

Hiroshima successors
When photographer Haruka Sakaguchi set out to Hiroshima document atomic bomb survivors' stories, she discovered they were far more difficult to find than she expected. Stigmatisation and survivor’s guilt discourage many from disclosing their past, and with dwindling survivors left to tell their story, memories of the atomic bomb are fading.
But a new generation has developed an unusual method of keeping those memories alive. Denshosha are the designated guardians of survivors’ memories. They act as storytellers, working with survivors to record their story and pass it down to future generations, embodying the survivor in a deeply personal way, so they do not permanently disappear.
To understand the importance of remembering, Haruka speaks with Hiroshima survivor Setsuko Thurlow and Nagasaki survivor Yasuaki Yamashita, hearing what happened that day and how it stayed with them, along with Keiko Okinishi, a denshosha who now passes on her mother’s story - despite it being a secret for much of her life.

Michael Harding: In vivid colour
Dick Pope, the Oscar-nominated cinemtatographer of Mr. Turner and The Illusionist, visits master paint-maker Michael Harding at his colour mill in Cwmbran, Wales.
Michael takes Dick on a drive to his local stables to collect a special ingredient for an ancient paint recipe. On the way, they discuss the challenges of their respective crafts, and the time-tested ways they each create colour in their work.
Back at the colour mill, Michael shows Dick around and recounts some of the weird and wonderful ways paints and pigments have historically been made, taking him into a heavily padlocked shipping container where the special ingredient they collected earlier helps to create a brilliant white paint.

Bitcoin ban has opposite effect in Nigeria
Bitcoin’s popularity in Nigeria has exploded – with one of the youngest populations in the world, coupled with a high unemployment rate, its popularity was almost inevitable. Many young Nigerians are attracted to cryptocurrencies as an alternative and quick way to make money. Jude Umeano tells us that he lives his life using only Bitcoin, and that the government ban on funding crypto-based businesses only made him find loopholes. In fact, the government ban was likely the catalyst that increased its popularity, says Idayat Hassan from the Centre of Democracy and Development in Abuja. But there are still common, old fashioned concerns that make crypto investing so popular – and that’s mainly because it’s seen as a more secure and valuable currency in the global markets, says Eke Urum, chief executive of Risevest, one of Nigeria’s many investment platforms, which is still seeing users grow, despite the government ban.

I changed my name to change my life
James Plummer Jr grew up navigating poverty and instability; his dad was a drug dealer and he moved around a lot, changing schools, houses and states multiple times. One day, when he was nine years old, he was reading an encyclopedia and got to 'E'. He discovered Albert Einstein's theory of relativity and a lifelong passion began – one that was to lead him out of poverty. James really understood physics. He started to win at state science fairs and after college was admitted to the elite physics course at Stanford University. But James had a secret: he was hooked on crack cocaine. He also knew he had to change and conquer his addiction if he was to fulfil his academic ambitions. It took a confession to a special person in his life, someone he admired and respected, to turn his life around. And with his new identity came a carefully chosen new name: Hakeem Muata Oluseyi.

Brazil’s Data Protection Law
Brazil has started to enforce its data protection law with companies facing fines of up to $10m USD if they fail to comply.

Twitter Disaster Bot
As the clean-up operation following the floods in Henan province in central China continues Yuan Ren reports on the tech that has or hasn’t worked in preventing and managing these floods. We also hear about a disaster alerting twitter bot that’s been developed in Indonesia. Jakarta produces 2% of all tweets globally, it is also hit by a huge number of disasters, from flooding to earthquakes. The information people are tweeting about these disasters can now be collected into a real time map, PetaBencana or Disaster Map, with the help of a twitter bot. This bot recognises certain words associated with disasters, such as “flood”, and will respond to the sender to ask if they’d like to add the info onto the map. This real time map can help local residents and emergency services know what is happening on the ground. Director Nashin Mahtani told us more.
Bitclout
Harrison Lewis reports on a brand new form of social media. Bitclout is not a company, but a proof of work blockchain designed for running social media. A platform where you can speculate, buy and sell creator coins associated with the social media user, this could be a friend, influencer or high profile celeb like Elon Musk. To do so, you need to hold a token for the website, this is called Bitclout and can be bought with Bitcoin. In itself Bitclout is a native cryptocurrency. Even if you do make money though, you can’t retrieve it.
The programme is presented by Gareth Mitchell with expert commentary from Angelica Mari.

World timber shortage hits construction
A global shortage of timber is causing challenges for the construction industry. David Hopkins is managing director of the Timber Trade Federation, and tells us what has caused the problem. And we hear about a shortage of garden sheds in the UK from retail analyst Kate Hardcastle. Also in the programme, the BBC's Theo Leggett reports on the growth of the British electric commercial vehicle maker Arrival. Only around 2% of people living in Africa are fully vaccinated against coronavirus, but the African Union hopes to reach 60% within a year. It has signed a deal for 400 million shots of Johnson and Johnson's vaccine, and Dr Ahmed Ogwell, deputy director of the Africa Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, discusses the challenges the continent faces in getting shots into people's arms. Barcelona's football star Lionel Messi is transferring to Paris St Germain, subject to a medical examination. Messi's biographer Guillem Balague tells us what is known about the new contract. Plus, our regular workplace commentator, Stephanie Hare, explores how best to approach giving and receiving feedback so that it is actually useful.

Bipartisan infrastructure bill passes U.S. Senate

Also in the programme, hackers have stolen some $600m in what appears to be one the largest cryptocurrency heists ever.

Changing World, Changing Bodies
How modern life is changing our backs
Dr Vybarr Cregan-Reid investigates what the last 250 years has done to our backs. What is it about modern life that has promoted back pain, especially lower back pain, from a rarity to the number one cause of pain and disability in the world?
In the remote Kenyan Village of Pemja, Dr Cregan-Reid meets people with such excellent backs that they are the subject of international study. He hears from pain-wracked workers in Nairobi whose backs today are a pale version of those of their grandparents' and at the London Design museum he comes face-to-face with the artefact that has done most to weaken our backs - the chair.
Chairs with backs are now so ubiquitous it is reckoned there are around 10 for each of us but as recently as 1800 they were a rarity. Not that we have much choice but to sit down today. At the start of the 19th Century fractions of one per cent of people sat down for a living but today three quarters work in offices or drive for a living. We put our spines into positions they were not designed to sustain for hours on end.
He discusses with Australian academics their research which claims that half of back pain is in the mind and why simple movement is probably more effective than surgery, manipulation and powerful painkillers in getting to the bottom of back pain.

Three Pounds In My Pocket
Three pounds In my pocket
Since 2014, Kavita Puri has been charting the social history of this community in post-war Britain. Many came with as little as three pounds due to strict currency controls.
In 2001, everything changed for British South Asians. After the optimism and progress of the 1990s, there was an abrupt change in 2001. The year began positively enough - in Spring, Foreign Secretary Robin Cook declared chicken tikka masala a national dish. It may not have been something that many - if any - British South Asians cooked at home, but Cook's speech was an imagining of Britain as diverse, open and multicultural.
Later that year, there was civil unrest in areas with large numbers of British South Asians, including Oldham, Burnley and Bradford. Racial tensions in Oldham were stoked by the British National Party. Their leader Nick Griffin made some electoral gains in the General Election in June. And then a few months later, on 11 September, al-Qaeda attacked the Twin Towers in New York City.

Electrifying Sierra Leone
Bringing electricity to his village for the first time, we speak with Jeremiah Thoronka in Sierra Leone about the challenges of energy inequality in the country. As a teenager, using kinetic energy, Jeremiah changed the lives of hundreds of people – we speak to them to talk about the difference between the two worlds – and why having more light often means more hours to earn money, in a country where economic success lags behind its neighbours. As three quarters of people in the world with no access to electricity live in Africa, UN energy representative Damilola Ogunbiyi explains why Africa energy poverty persists, despite some pockets of success, and answers why it takes ‘heroes’ like Jeremiah to change the lives of people, and why leaders should be stepping up.

The improbable rise of Europe’s 'Tofu King'
When Bernard Drosihn was growing up in 1970s Germany he rebelled against the predominantly meat-heavy diet. These were the days when no one around him had even heard of vegetarianism. He later spent time in New York where he came across tofu - a bean curd block - and a product that wasn't available in Germany. So he and some other young hippies decided to produce their own, setting up a tofu collective. Bernard tells Jo Fidgen that the local authorities saw them as dangerous radicals, and the so-called ‘meat police’ raided their premises and even threw them in jail for a few nights. Undeterred, Bernard went on to become one of Europe’s biggest producers of tofu.
Steven Bradbury is an Australian speed skater who became a controversial winner at the Winter Olympic Games in 2002. He survived a late wipeout in which four of his competitors toppled, allowing him to clinch victory against all the odds. His success gave rise to the phrase 'doing a Bradbury'. This interview was first broadcast in 2018.

We continue to follow the unfolding situation in Afghanistan – where on Wednesday President Ashraf Ghani flew in to rally his beleaguered troops in Mazar- i- Sharif - a crucial northern city near the border with Tajikistan. Meanwhile, the Taliban seized three more provincial capitals in Afghanistan, officials said on Wednesday, putting nine of the nation’s 34 in the armed group’s hands. We speak to our reporter in the capital Kabul to get the latest developments.
And the US and UK governments have urged their citizens to leave Afghanistan immediately because of the worsening security situation. But what is life like for ordinary Afghani people, unable to leave? What’s been the impact on them? We hear from a group of students, who tell us about their experiences and their hopes and fears for the future.
Also, there are reports that the Ethiopian military and its allies are responsible for widespread sexual violence against women in Tigray. According to Amnesty International the scale of violations during the nine-month conflict in the north of the country amounts to war crimes. Ethiopian officials have not responded to the allegations.

Impact of wildfires
Claudia Hammond and her studio guest global health journalist Sarah Boseley discuss the health impact of the fires that are raging in many places including Southern Europe and the US. Lizzie Crouch reports on the longer term physical and mental effects of fires on people who experienced them in Colorado last year.
Two reports, from the Netherlands and the US, are published this week that highlight the lack of women in drug trials for heart disease. Heart disease is often thought to be more common in men than women but that isn’t the case and new drugs need to be tested on women as well as on men.
As the Olympics comes to an end Claudia talks to Adrian Bauman, Emeritus Professor of Global Health at the University of Sydney, about if there is any legacy for the general public in terms of increased exercise and fitness. He has just published a paper in The Lancet exploring this question – and the answer is a no.
And Sarah Boseley and Claudia discuss the case of Marburg Disease in Guinea, the first to be reported in West Africa.

Can we run the world on electricity?
The target for many countries around the world is to reach net zero emissions within the next few decades. That means a dramatic move away from fossil fuels like oil, coal and gas. For some the answer to the problem is to boost “green” electricity production, so that we can run our transport, our homes and our industry on electrical power. We already have a lot of the technology to produce clean electricity. But for hundreds of millions of people around the world, especially in sub-saharan Africa, the real problem is the lack of access to electricity.

What’s killing Israel’s Arabs?
Israel’s Arab population is in the grip of a violent and deadly crime wave. Since the start of the year, scores of Arab citizens have lost their lives and increasingly, even women and children are victims of drive-by killings, point-blank shootings and escalating gang warfare. Arabs account for only around one in five of all Israelis, yet they are now the majority of the country’s murder victims. Many say the problem of organised crime has grown out of control within their communities; others argue that the police do little to combat it. Some claim that Israel’s Jewish majority simply does not care. With a new coalition government now in office, which includes an Arab party, the BBC’s Yolande Knell meets victims’ families and those in authority to find out what is going on, and what hope there is for an end to the carnage.

He tells Emily Thomas about his youth in the vibrant and diverse Jerusalem of the 1970s, coming out as gay in Tel Aviv, and the huge impact of his younger brother’s death.
Usually reluctant to delve into politics, Yotam also explains why he’s decided to speak out in support of his industry during the coronavirus pandemic.

Neurodiversity at work
Neurodiversity is a broad term inclusive of a number of very different things including, but not limited to, autism, ADHD, dyslexia and dyspraxia. And until relatively recently, it's not something that many workplaces have paid much attention to. But rethinking those spaces and the way neurodiverse staff can be best accommodated, can reap benefits for both the companies involved and their employees. Stand-up comedian Don Biswas, explains how his different way of thinking has shaped his comedy routine, we also hear about the trials and tribulations faced by successful author Elle McNicoll. PR executive, Yemi Gbadebo describes the impact of getting an ADHD diagnosis as an adult, and Professor Amanda Kirby explains why females in general are less readily diagnosed with all forms of neurodiversity. Plus, Paul Graham, Britvic's managing director for the GB region, tells us how his neurodiverse family has inspired his approach to the workplace and Professor Robert Austin from Ivey Business School in Ontario, Canada, describes how the understanding of cognitive differences is gradually improving.

East Germany's nudists
For years Germans have been bathing nude at the beach. Many are members of a naturist movement called the FKK, which was banned under the Nazis and faced official disapproval during the early years of communist rule in East Germany. Mike Lanchin spoke to one East Berliner who recalled the heyday of naked sunbathing beside the Baltic Sea.

Sailing by the stars: The pioneering voyages of David Lewis
David Lewis was of one of the most remarkable nautical explorers of modern times. In the mid-1960s, he took his wife and two small daughters - who were less than five years old - on a sailing trip around the world in a small catamaran. What is more, for one part of the journey, he rejected standard 20th-Century navigational equipment and relied on much older methods of finding his way across the Pacific. In fact, it was his lifelong goal to prove that ancient seafaring methods were still valuable and his research helped revive ancient Polynesian navigation methods. In his more than eventful life, he also wrote a dozen books, practised as a GP in London’s East End and tackled many unclimbed peaks as a mountaineer. And he undertook hazardous trips to the Antarctic including one in which he was presumed dead.
Rajan Datar is joined by David’s son Barry, who is also an accomplished sailor and who accompanied David on some of his seminal voyages; Dr. Christina Thompson, the editor of Harvard Review and the author of Sea People: The Puzzle of Polynesia; and Ben Lowings, a yachtsman, BBC journalist and the author of David Lewis's biography entitled The Dolphin.

I found the Titanic during a top-secret Cold War mission
For more than 70 years oceanographers and scientists searched for the wreckage of the most famous ship in recent history - the Titanic. Then in 1985, Robert Ballard was on a classified US Navy mission to locate sunken nuclear submarines in the North Atlantic when he made the discovery of a lifetime. But finding the Titanic is just one of Robert’s many astonishing deep-sea expeditions; his discoveries have rewritten the book of life itself. He tells Outlook’s Clayton Conn how he believes his dyslexia has given him an edge to find the things others can’t on the ocean floor. His memoir is called Into the Deep.
South African Paralympian Achmat Hassiem dreamed of becoming a professional footballer, until 2006, when a lifeguard-training exercise with his brother Tariq went horribly wrong. Achmat lost his leg in an encounter with a huge great white shark, but in this astonishing interview from 2015, he tells Jo Fidgen why he now campaigns for their protection.

China unveils plans for tighter regulation of the economy
China has announced a plan to tighten regulation of its economy. The five-year plan is seen by some as a further crackdown on the tech sector by Beijing.
China has already started targeting the technology and education industries. We ask Dr Sara Hsu, visiting scholar at Fudan University, to analyse the new plans. In the UK the latest GDP figures show growth of 4.8 % for the quarter between April and June. However, the British economy is still 4.4% smaller than it was before the pandemic. Kyle Monk from the British Retail Consortium tells us how the reopening of the retail sector has impacted growth figures. And neurodiversity is an umbrella term referring to conditions including autism and dyslexia. The BBC's Elizabeth Hotson investigates how employers are responding to the needs of their neurodiverse employees.

Methane - a climate solution?
The latest IPCC assessment raised alarm about the rate at which manmade emissions are contributing to climate change. Much of the focus for action is on reducing levels of carbon dioxide, however there is a more potent greenhouse gas, methane, produced by natural and industrial processes which, says Drew Shindell of Duke University and lead author on the Global Methane Assessment, is relatively easy to target for reduction.
Neuroscientist John Cryan of University College, Cork in Ireland is interested in the effects our gut microbes can have on our behaviour.

Silencing dissidents
A year on from the disputed election in Belarus, the country’s president has denied claims his security services were involved in the death of dissident Vitaly Shishov, who was found hanged in neighbouring Ukraine last week. The death follows EU accusations that Minsk effectively “hijacked” a plane en route to Lithuania earlier this year, forcing it to land in Belarus where a journalist on board who was a critic of the president was arrested. Technology allows many dissidents to continue impacting events whether they live at home or abroad. But reports suggest spyware developed in Israel and sold to multiple governments may have been used to target rights activists, journalists and lawyers. The company behind the software denies any wrongdoing and says it’s intended for use against criminals and terrorists. But with surveillance systems proliferating and activists increasingly voicing fears over their safety, is the role that dissidents play under threat?

How can smart tech tackle climate change?
Humans are responsible for emitting over 40 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere every year – and we all know that we need to reduce that figure to prevent devastating climate change. Listener Saugat wonders whether smart technology and artificial intelligence can help us do this more quickly?
Green energy will go a long way to tackling the problem, but integrating wind and solar into our current electricity grid is complicated. CrowdScience hears how AI is being used at a wind farm on the island of Orkney to predict periods of high winds, so that excess energy can be turned into hydrogen and stored, then converted back to electricity when there’s greater demand.
Digital mirrors are also playing a major role in optimising performance, and scientists say cloud-based “twins” of physical assets like turbines can improve yield by up to 20%, allowing engineers to identify problems via computer without ever having to be on site.
Marnie visits an intelligent building in London’s financial district where sensors control everything from air-conditioning to lighting, and machine learning means the building knows which staff will be on which floor at any given time, switching off lifts that are not in use and adjusting ventilation to save on power. Its designer says incorporating this kind of digital technology will help companies achieve net zero more quickly.
And in India, more than half the population are involved in agriculture, but the sector is plagued by inefficiency and waste. Tech start-ups have realised there’s potential for growth, and are using drones to monitor crop production and spraying, giving farmers apps which help them decide when and where to fertilise their fields.

Samsung heir released from prison
Samsung heir Lee Jae-yong has been released from a South Korean prison and is on parole. Mr Lee is de facto head of Samsung, served just over half of his sentence, and we hear how the release has been received in South Korea from Joyce Lee, who is a reporter with the Reuters news agency in Seoul. Also in the programme, China's third busiest port, Ningbo-Zhoushan has been partially shut down, due to a worker being infected with coronavirus. Nick Sevidies is editor of the shipping magazine Loadstar, and tells us how it might impact the global shipping industry. We find out from television critic Scott Bryan why Amazon Studios has decided to switch filming of the upcoming Lord of the Rings TV series from New Zealand to the UK. Plus, the BBC's Frey Lindsay reports on how tensions are rising on all sides, as the European Union and Turkey try to negotiate renewed funding for a migration deal made at the height of the migrant crisis in 2016, which limited the number of asylum seekers arriving on EU shores.
