SAT 00:06 The Real Story (w3ct4q77)
Is Biden too old to run in 2024?

The top brass of the Democrat party in the US have all rallied behind Joe Biden with their eyes on the 2024 presidential election. But they have a problem. Repeated polls suggest support for the incumbent president is stagnant at best. Dangerously low at worst. A repeated concern among doubting voters is his age and health. If Biden wins a second term next year, and completes four years in power, he will be 86 when he steps down. Much of the electorate simply don’t think he has it in him.
Republican front runner Donald Trump has long dubbed the president as Sleepy Joe. It’s a taunt that increasingly rattles the nerves of the Democratic Party faithful. As the president’s voice noticeably weakens and his gait stiffens there is a fear he just sounds and looks too old for the job. But is his physical and mental capacity being distorted by his adversaries to undermine his achievements? His team point to major policies he’s passed including his infrastructure bill, the Inflation Reduction Act, and his chips and science act. He’s also recently returned from the G20 summit in India and before that he travelled by planes, trains and car into war-torn Ukraine.
And Joe Biden is not alone in the very upper echelons of American politics. Donald Trump is 77 years old, the oldest senator is 90 years old and the Republican senate minority leader is 81 years old and ailing.
Does America have a problem with the gerontocracy not making way for new blood and what does it mean for the coming 2024 election?

Shaun Ley is joined by:
Christy Setzer - a Democrat strategist who was spokesperson for vice president Al Gore's presidential campaign.
Scott Jennings - a Republican strategist who was special assistant to President George W. Bush from 2005 to 2008
James Politi - Washington bureau chief for the Financial Times

Helping Libya’s flood survivors

In the aftermath of the devastating floods in Derna, following the collapse of two dams, we hear from Sara Alhouni, outreach officer for BBC Media Action's platform for Libyan audiences, about their response to the catastrophe and how they are providing lifesaving information for those affected.

India or Bharat?
Could India be officially renamed “Bharat”? The idea was reported in the press this week after invitations to G20 summit members asked them to join the “President of Bharat”, not India, for dinner. So what is Bharat and why might it replace India? Zubair Ahmed of BBC Delhi explains.

Indigenous protests in Argentina
Large protests have been taking place in the northern province of Jujuy as indiginous groups oppose lithium mining there. For the BBC Berta Reventós spent a week with protesters in the village of Purmamarca, high up in the Andes mountains, to find out more.

Africa Eye: Operation Dudula vigilantes in South Africa

SAT 06:06 Weekend (w172z37f9n0j0mf)
Severe shortages in Nagorno-Karabakh

Journalist Siranush Sargsyan, who lives in the enclave’s de facto capital Stepanakert, claims that shortages of food, power and medicine have created a humanitarian crisis in the city in the wake of the ceasefire between Azerbaijan and separatist authorities. Azerbaijan says it is sending aid to the region.

Also on the programme: US Senator Bob Menendez is charged with taking bribes from the Egyptian government, some in the form of exercise equipment and air purifiers; and Canada doubles down on its claims that Indian government agents were involved in the murder of a Canadian Sikh activist.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss all this and more are barrister, journalist and author Sadakat Kadri and Lina Khatib, Professor of Politics and International Studies at SOAS.

Nagorno-Karabakh: Could the three decade-long conflict be coming to an end?

One of the world’s longest-running ethnic conflicts could be drawing to a close after Azerbaijan launched a successful offensive against Armenian separatists in the enclave. Despite assurances from the government of Azerbaijan, many ethnic Armenians fear ethnic cleansing in the wake of the separatists’ effective surrender.

Also on the programme: the row between Canada and India deepens as Justin Trudeau presents Delhi with evidence of the involvement of Indian government agents in the murder of a Canadian Sikh activist; and as further allegations emerged this week against British broadcaster Russell Brand, why are so many of his fans sticking by him?

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss all this and more are barrister, journalist and author Sadakat Kadri and Lina Khatib, Professor of Politics and International Studies at SOAS.

The floods in Libya

Storm Daniel delivered 300 times more rain than expected onto the north-east coast of Libya, causing two dams to burst and water up to 30 meters high to tear through the coastal city of Derna. The immense power of the flood smashed everything in its path, claiming thousands of lives and leaving shattered buildings, bridges and mountains of mud.

Since the disaster, we have been hearing from people in the city, who have been sharing their thoughts and experiences. Amna was trapped inside her home in a building block as the water rose. “We went on the roof and as we were able to see the rain, the thunder, the lightning,” she tells us. “We felt an earthquake, but it wasn’t an earthquake, it was actually the buildings next to us collapsing.”

It is estimated that some 40,000 people have been forced to leave their homes, and that tens of millions of dollars are urgently needed to provide aid and help on the ground. Host James Reynolds also speaks to Khalil and Mohammed, who were among the first to reach Derna to offer help.

We also bring together Nafisa and Sarah in the United States who have friends and family in the region. Nafisa speaks of her anger about the floods. People say there were insufficient warnings ahead of the disaster and there are questions around how the dams were able to collapse.

A co-production between the BBC OS team and Boffin Media.

UFC star Themba Gorimbo: from diamond fields to The Rock

Zimbabwean UFC fighter Themba Gorimbo tells Sportshour’s Caroline Barker how his story of struggle led Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson to buy him a house.

As a 16-year-old, Gorimbo became a self-confessed diamond thief in the dangerous fields of Marange following the death of both of his parents. He then moved to South Africa and took up mixed martial arts before landing a contract with the UFC.

Facing a must win fight, Gorimbo woke up with flu and after buying medicine was left with just seven dollars in the bank. He won the fight and a screenshot he posted of his bank account led to a meeting with “The Rock”.

Estonian open water swimmer Merle Liivand chats to us about breaking world records, collecting garbage from the ocean as she swims and being thought of as a real-life mermaid.

And - we hear why it has been a significant week for the Marshall Islands on the road to having a national football team, from their technical director, Lloyd Owers.

SAT 19:06 The Inquiry (w3ct4wdf)
Why is life expectancy falling in America?

The life expectancy of Americans has fallen in recent years after a long period when it had been increasing. There are a number of factors which contribute to the fall. The Covid pandemic, with over 1m deaths, made a significant impact on lowering the average life expectancy. In comparison with other peer countries, the USA also did not return to pre-Covid levels at the same rate. However there are also other important factors driving this, namely gun deaths and drug deaths as a result of opioid overdoses. And another major contributor to lower life expectancy in the States is inequality in the US healthcare system.

In this edition of The Inquiry Tanya Beckett explores why US life expectancy is falling.
She hears from Jeremy Ney an adjunct professor at Presidio Graduate School in San Francisco and author of American Inequality, a data project that highlights US inequality and regional divides.
Dr. Mark Rosenberg helped set up the Centre for Disease Control’s National Centre for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) and is a key proponent of research that examines how to reduce gun violence. He explains how gun deaths among young people have a big influence on the average life expectancy numbers.
Dr. Judith Feinberg, is a professor at West Virginia University School of Medicine - her experience of working with communities with high levels of opioid problems makes her an authority on the extent to which drug overdose deaths impact average life expectancy.
Ellen Marra is a professor of health economics at Harvard University - she says that diseases such as cancer and cardio deaths are big factors in lower life expectancy, compared with the number of gun and opioid deaths.

Idols and clowns with Devendra Banhart, Phil Elverum, Jenny Hval and Bedouine

Devendra Banhart, Phil Elverum, Jenny Hval and Bedouine discuss eating on tour, how art is intimacy exposed, and what can be learned from terrible shows.

Devendra Banhart, was born in Texas and raised between Venezuela and California, where he attended the San Francisco Art Institute. After dropping out in 2000, he started moving around different cities, experimenting with songwriting and busking as he went. When he released his second album, Oh Me Oh My, in 2002 ,he signed to XL Recordings, and has since released nine albums and collaborated with artists like Anohni, Beck and The Strokes’ Fabrizio Moretti. His new album Flying Wig has just come out and was recorded in a Topanga cabin once owned by Neil Young. He’s also a visual artist, and has had pieces featured in galleries including San Francisco’s Museum of Modern Art, MOCA and Brussels’ Centre for Fine Arts.

Phil Elverum is a singer-songwriter, producer and visual artist from Washington state. Best known for his musical projects The Microphones and Mount Eerie, he almost exclusively uses analogue recording equipment to make music and tends to compose as he records. His output spans more than 40 albums.

Norwegian singer-songwriter, producer and novelist Jenny Hval's avant-garde music has a heavy focus on sexuality and politics. Her debut EP Cigars was released in 2006 and was nominated for a Spellemannprisen (the Nowegian Grammys). Since then, she has released music under her own name, Rocket to the Sky and collaboratively with Laura Jean as Lost Girls.

Bedouine is a Syrian-American folk musician whose sound is beautifully reminiscent of 1960s North America. Born in Aleppo, Syria, she grew up between Saudi Arabia and Texas before settling in Savannah to study sound design. Since then, she’s released three studio albums and toured with the likes of Fleet Foxes, Michael Kiwanuka and Jose Gonzalez.

Could global Aids program be cut?

The PEPFAR scheme was launched by George W Bush in 2003 to provide HIV and Aids relief around the world. Officials say it has since saved more than 25 million lives in 55 different countries.

Now, though, its future could be under threat.

With its funding due to expire at the end of September, some US Republicans are pushing for it not to be renewed because of alleged links to services providing abortions.

Claudia Hammond is joined by professor of epidemiology at Boston University, Matt Fox, to look at what the outcome could mean for global Aids provision.

We also hear from scientists in Nigeria and the US about the groundbreaking discovery of a gene variant in people of African ancestry that increases the risk of Parkinson’s Disease.

Claudia and Matt also look at a new study suggesting a minority of people who are sceptical of vaccines are less likely to get their dogs inoculated.

We hear from researchers in Germany looking at whether getting people to exercise while undergoing chemotherapy could improve their outcomes.

And just how good is turmeric at treating indigestion? Claudia looks at a new study into the spice from Thailand.

The devastation of Derna

Pascale Harter introduces correspondents' dispatches from Libya, Australia and the United States.

After two dams breached following Storm Daniel, a wall of water smashed through the eastern Libyan city of Derna. Now grief and anger are everywhere. Anna Foster reports from the city on survivors' enduring questions - and growing demands.

Australia will vote on the 14th of October on whether or not to enshrine an "Indigenous Voice to Parliament" in its Constitution. At one point the result looked like a foregone conclusion - but the campaign for a 'Yes' vote may not have won over a majority. Nick Bryant analyses how and why public opinion has changed.

And in New York City, Maryam Ahmed reveals how an invasive insect has united the city's often-fractious humans - in a concerted campaign to smash, squash, stomp or stamp it out. Why is the spotted lanternfly seen as such a menace?

TikTok frenzies

TikTok started as an app for posting lip syncs and dance videos, but quickly developed into a platform where users can follow along world events, criminal investigations and social unrest in real time.

From frenzied speculation over true crime to vandalism and protests at schools, TikTok seems to be connected to harmful behaviour offline as the app draws in billions of eyeballs and spawns all kinds of content out at scale and speed.

According to several company insiders, TikTok’s drive towards participation and maximising engagement has led to these frenzies. TikTok says their platform isn’t to blame, but is the app changing our behaviour?

Cricket and the maidens

In March 2023, the first season of the Women’s India Premier League, the world’s second most valuable cricketing league, behind only the men’s IPL, was played. Five teams battled it out to claim the crown, comprised of international teams of women cricketers at the top of their game who earned ten times more than they can elsewhere.

While Indian players dominated, there was another factor that marked them out - many Indian women cricketers are single. Yet India as a country still values the institution of marriage very highly, and single women often face challenges and discrimination in housing and the workplace.

As Indian women’s cricket has shot to the top of the global stage, how does this rapid change reflect broader changes in Indian society? Emma John, a cricket journalist and single woman herself, asks a range of single women in India about their experiences, and discovers how they think things are changing, for better and for worse.

With contributions from Dr Ketaki Chowkhani, professor of single studies at Manipal Centre for Humanities, Sreemoyee Kundu, author and founder of Status Single, representatives from the Rajasthan branch of the Association of Strong Women Alone, and cricket journalists Annesha Ghosh and Sharda Ugra.

SUN 12:32 Assignment (w3ct4m7k)
How a war has changed a Norwegian town

Kirkenes, in the far north-east of Norway, once thrived on its close ties with neighbouring Russia. All that changed after the invasion of Ukraine. Now it’s become home to Ukrainian refugees and a safe haven for some Russian journalists escaping President Putin’s media clampdown.

For decades this area popularised the phrase “High North, Low Tension.” Close economic and cultural ties developed with brisk cross-border trade. Hundreds of Russians settled in the town. But now new cross-border restrictions have been imposed and co-operation has ended. The local economy has taken a significant hit and cross-border cultural groups no longer meet. However, despite this being a NATO member, the Norwegian government is keeping the border open. Russian fishing vessels still unload their catch in Kirkenes but are no longer allowed to undergo repairs. The Norwegians have stepped up checks on these Russian boats amid concern of a rise in Russian spying and potential sabotage.

For Assignment, John Murphy travels to Norway’s Arctic to see how war has changed the town and to ask what’s next for this unique community.

Can tourism ever be good for the climate?

This week, we’re off to Costa Rica, an eco-tourism hotspot in collaboration with BBC’s The Travel Show.

Eco-tourism is big business - it’s forecasted to generate $103 billion annually by 2027. But how well do its green claims actually stack up when it comes to the climate?

Presenter Qasa Alom visits the birthplace of Sea Turtle conservation, goes on patrol with a ranger protecting the forest from loggers and miners, and spots luxury tourist developments in the terrain of the puma.

How big is tourism’s climate impact, and can this ever be mitigated by its benefits?

Guests:
Ralf Buckley, Director of the International Centre for Ecotourism Research, and Research Director of the Climate Response Program at Griffith University, Australia.
Stefan Gossling, Professor at the Linnaeus University School of Business and Economics and Lund University's Department of Service Management

Can we grow a conscious brain?

Philosophers have long pondered the concept of a brain in a jar, hooked up to a simulated world. Though this has largely remained a thought experiment, CrowdScience listener JP wants to know if it might become reality in the not-too-distant future, with advances in stem cell research.

In the two decades since stem cell research began, scientists have learned how to use these cells to create the myriad of cell types in our bodies, including those in our brains, offering researchers ways to study neurological injuries and neurodegenerative disorders. Some labs have actually started 3D printing stem cells into sections of brain tissue in order to study specific interactions in the brain. Human brain organoids offer another way to study brain development and diseases from autism to the Zika virus.

So, might stem cell research one day lead to a fully-grown human brain, or is that resolutely in the realm of science fiction? If something resembling our brains is on the horizon, is there any chance that it could actually become conscious? And how would we even know if it was?

Host Marnie Chesterton takes a peek inside the human brain and speaks with leading scientists in the field, including a philosopher and ethicist who talks about the benefits – and potential pitfalls – of growing human brain models. Along the way, we'll pull apart the science from what still remains (at least for now) fiction.

Shockwaves for the heart

Heart disease and other cardiovascular diseases are the biggest killer in the world, causing 18 million deaths globally every year.

Cardiologists and heart surgeons try to manage heart disease with stents, surgery and drugs, but the organ itself does not heal. Finding a way to regenerate heart tissue has become a holy grail for medicine.

Now there is new hope from a strange and pioneering technique from Austria. Doctors there believe that applying shockwaves directly to the heart after surgery dramatically improves patient outcomes.

The shockwaves – which are sonic pressure waves, rather than electric shocks – lead to new growth of blood vessels and trick the body’s immune system into action.

The BBC’s global health correspondent Naomi Grimley travels to Innsbruck to see the treatment in action.

Born into coffee

Inheriting a family business can be a tall order. All the more so when it's a coffee business, where men have traditionally dominated the sector in many countries that produce one of the world's most popular beverages. While women have a crucial role to play in an industry that supports 25 million rural households across the globe, they're often under-represented at the highest level.

Kim Chakanetsa hears from two women who've broken the mould. Heleanna Georgalis is the president of Moplaco Trading in Ethiopia, a company she took on when her father died in 2008. When she arrived, the system of trading coffee in the country was turned on its head, and she was forced to make changes to secure the future of the company.

Ana María Donneys from Colombia inherited a coffee producing company from her grandfather when she was only in her mid-twenties. As the first woman to lead the company, and the first to export their specialty coffee, she's overcome numerous challenges to succeed in a highly volatile market.

Both women discuss the future of coffee in the context of climate change, and how women can play a role.

Vietnam War: Stopping nuclear disaster

In 1975, during the final days of the Vietnam War, most of the world was unaware that the North Vietnamese were advancing a new breed of nuclear reactor, gifted to the South by the United States government.

Not only was it technology the North's Russian allies did not yet have, it was also a source of weapons-grade nuclear fuel.

As a last resort, the US discussed bombing the facility, risking nuclear fallout, rather than risk the technology falling into Soviet hands.

To avoid humanitarian and environmental disaster, a physicist from Idaho in the US, called Wally Hendrickson, volunteered to be dropped into the front line to remove the fuel rods from the reactor.

He speaks to Ramita Navai. A Two Degrees West production for BBC World Service.

The invisible child who now shines at Eurovision, part 1

A bond between brothers, a coming-out story, and an international song contest.

William Lee Adams is one of the leading voices covering the Eurovision Song Contest, criss-crossing the continent to interview stars and live-stream shows. But as a child growing up in small-town America, he was made to feel invisible; encouraged to suppress his Vietnamese heritage and questions about his sexuality. He found solace in caring for his brother, John, who had severe physical disabilities due to a brain condition. Even so, he needed an escape route.

William has written a memoir called Wild Dances: My Queer and Curious Journey to Eurovision.

Ethnic cleansing fears as Armenians leave disputed region

A growing stream of ethnic Armenian refugees are fleeing Nagorno-Karabakh following Azerbaijan's seizure of the disputed region last week.

Amidst fears of ethnic cleansing, more than 3,000 people have so far crossed into Armenia from the enclave, which is home to a majority of some 120,000 ethnic Armenians.

Also in the programme: American screenwriters reach a tentative deal with the Hollywood studios to end their five month strike; and the former UK prime minister Gordon Brown calls for a windfall tax on the world's richest oil states -- to help developing countries cope with climate change.

Hollywood writers reach ‘tentative’ deal to end strike

A tentative deal has been struck between a major US screenwriters union, The Writer’s Guild of America and studio bosses that could end five months of strike action. Details of the deal haven't been made public yet, but it’s understood agreement has been reached over writers' demands over protections from AI and better residual pay from streaming companies.

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva is in Vietnam to discuss a possible deal with the Mercosur bloc of countries - what areas would any agreement cover and how would it benefit both sides?

And Roger Hearing finds out who pays the bill to maintain those super yachts and other assets seized from Russian oligarchs with links to the Kremlin.

Donor babies: A question of identity

For many people around the world, donation of sperm or an egg can be the difference between becoming parents and not. But while this donation can make their dream of parenthood come true, what are the considerations for the end result, the child themselves?

Donation and IVF can help jump the hurdles when it comes to the physical process of conception for would-be parents, but what about the emotional and psychological impact on the people who eventually find out they are not biologically related to one or both of their parents?

Louise McLoughlin, herself donor-conceived, hears from people around the world who have been faced with the news they are not the identity they assumed they were. Among them are the triplets who discovered the origin of their conception via a drunk aunt at a party, and a woman who found out she was donor-conceived after doing a DNA test; she tracked down her biological father and many of her half-siblings. Also, she hears from people angry that families did not reveal their true identities until much later in life and some whose lack of biological family knowledge has led to difficulties managing chronic health conditions.

After the devastating earthquake in Morocco earlier this month we talk to an aid worker who helped deliver and distribute humanitarian aid to survivors in the remote mountain villages, and she also worked helping victims of the deadly floods in Libya.

As the summer counter offensive in Ukraine draws to a close without making the breakthroughs many had hoped for, we are joined on air by diplomatic editor Mark Urban who secured rare access to one Ukrainian Brigade – the 24th Mechanized Brigade – who are fighting in the east of the country.

A university in Ireland is to offer the country’s first degree in social-media influencing. The College in Carlow, will open for applications in November.
We hear the thoughts of already established influencers.

Back to Black by Amy Winehouse

British singer Amy Winehouse died in July 2011 aged just 27. Back to Black the title track of her second and final album is a torch song to tragic love, addiction and loss. People who loved her and her music talk about how she helped them cope with their own struggles.

Lesley Jamison is now a successful writer but at 27 she was an alcoholic. She stopped drinking the same year that Amy died. Lesley reflects on how her own life could have followed the same path had she gone further into the darkness or the black of drinking and self destruction.

Daisy Buchanan tells her story of addictive love and how Back to Black helped her break free. Umaru Saidu was a vulnerable teenager with mental health issues who lost a dear childhood friend when he was 17. He later trained at the Amy's Yard programme and is grateful for the inspiration she gave him. As a young teenager Amy Charles too identified with the pain expressed in Back to Black and says it helped her deal with depression brought on by a spinal injury.

Donald Brackett is the author of Back to Black: Amy Winehouse's Only Masterpiece and believes performing the song may have become traumatic for her in the end as it forced her to relive the emotional pain. Elizabeth Kesses was visiting her terminally ill father at the same hospital where Amy Winehouse was being treated. She recalls seeing her there and hoping she would recover. Sadly it was not to be. But these stories reveal a legacy that goes beyond the music.

The industry that saved an animal from extinction

You may not be familiar with the vicuna, but in Peru, where it's the national animal, the smallest relative of the llama is revered - particularly for its fine and insulating coat.

In this programme, Stefania Gozzer travels to the Peruvian Andes, to meet the animals that produce one of the most expensive wools in the world. Demand for their coveted fleece once led them near extinction, but now it has become the best tool to preserve them.

Stefania visits Pampa Galeras, to talk to the scientists that work in the largest natural reserve created to protect vicunas. She learns how farming communities engage in the conservation of this species while making a profit, and hears why the business model that once saved vicunas is now at risk.

Kassandra: The peacekeeping telenovela in Bosnia

In the early 1990s, the soap opera or telenovela craze was sweeping the world. One of the most popular was Kassandra made in Venezuela, about a girl switched at birth and raised in a travelling circus.

The show was broadcast all over the world, including Bosnia. In 1997, ravaged by war, people found escape in the make-believe world of Kassandra.

When supporters of Washington-backed president Billiana Plavšić took over a local TV station and turned the show off, there was outrage. The United States State Department was so worried that the loss of Kassandra could hurt Plavšić's popularity and even undermine her government, they hatched a plan to get it back on the air.

Johnny I’Anson speaks to the star of Kassandra, Coraima Torres, along with Tony Paez who distributed the show across the world.

Six young people from Portugal have filed a lawsuit against 32 governments, including all EU member states, the UK, Norway, Russia, Switzerland and Turkey.

They accuse the countries of insufficient action over climate change and failing to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions enough to hit the Paris Agreement target of limiting global warming to 1.5C. It's the first of its kind to be filed at the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg. We'll hear from a legal advisor about the case.

The deadly practice of gum lancing

Gum lancing is a tradition practiced on babies in some parts of the world. It’s done with good intentions, and involves extracting the teeth of infants with symptoms such as a fever or diarrhoea in the belief it will cure them.

It can be fatal though, with tooth buds sometimes being removed using unsafe, unsterile instruments such as nails, and without anaesthesia.

We hear from a family in Kenya who lost children that underwent the procedure, a dentist raising awareness of its dangers in the country, and Claudia Hammond speaks to dental public health expert Dr Kristina Wanyonyi-Kay to find out more about the practice.

Claudia is also joined by BBC health reporter Smitha Mundasad to discuss new research on the Covid drug molnupiravir, suggesting it could be leading to new mutations of the virus passing between people.

We also hear from a listener who wants to know if eye exercises can stop our sight deteriorating as we get older, and from an ophthalmologist with the answer.

And how scientists have discovered specific wiring in the brains of mice that leads them to begin nesting when they’re getting ready to sleep. Claudia and Smitha look at what this could tell us about our own bedtime preparations.

Germany: Jail for fare-dodging

In Germany you can go to prison for travelling on public transport without a ticket. It’s estimated that 7,000 people are serving a jail sentence for this at any one time. Most of them are serial offenders, usually unemployed or homeless, the poorest people in German society. The law that enables courts to imprison people for not paying a fare dates from the early 1930s when it was introduced by the Nazi government. The public transport companies defend its existence. They say they lose hundreds of millions of Euros a year to people cheating on their fares and that it’s important to retain the threat of prison as a deterrent.

As Tim Mansel discovers for Assignment, others disagree and are campaigning for the law to be abolished. Most eye-catching is a campaign run by the Freedom Fund, set up in Berlin in 2021, which has raised hundreds of thousands of Euros. Its founder, Arne Semsrott, describes the law as “deeply unjust,” saying it “discriminates heavily against people who don’t have money, against people who don’t have housing, against people who are already in crisis.”

Can China and India fix their relationship?

At the recent BRICS economic summit in South Africa, India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi and China’s President Xi Jinping had a rare face-to-face meeting. For years these two world powers have been in dispute over their ill-defined border in the Himalayan region. A military escalation of this dispute in 1962 led to the creation of the ‘line of actual control’ or the LAC, the de facto border between the two countries.

Down the years there have been a number of clashes along the LAC and its commonly agreed that relations now are at their lowest point since 1962.

And whilst India has taken steps to reduce its economic dependence on China in a bid to engage in trade relations on an equal footing, they are both competing to become the dominant power in the global south with financial aid and infrastructure projects.

Both sides agreed at their BRICS meeting to intensify efforts to de-escalate border tensions. Can China and India fix their relationship?’

Where next for China’s Belt and Road?

Xi Jinping announced a massive building project along the ‘New Silk Road’ to very little fanfare in Kazakhstan 10 years ago this month.

Infrastructure including railways, roads and ports have been built in 165 countries to date, as part of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Billions of dollars has been lent to countries in Africa, Asia, Europe and South America.

Some are now struggling to afford the payments and China is reducing the amount being loaned.

We look at what this means for Beijing’s finances and for countries with huge projects underway, but with no means of meeting the repayments.

The Lampedusa shipwreck tragedy

On 3 October 2013, a fishing boat taking more than 500 migrants from Libya sank 800 metres off the coast of Lampedusa, Italy’s southernmost island.

It was one of the worst migrant shipwrecks on the Mediterranean Sea. As it happened so close to the shore, hundreds of dead bodies were recovered and their coffins were put on show for the world to see.

The tragedy led to a joint European effort to tackle the migrant crisis, but the numbers embarking on the journey, and dying, continued to rise.

One of the survivors, Ambesager Araya, and the man who rescued him, Vito Fiorino, speak with George Crafer.

How inflation affects the entire cosmos

This week on the show that brings you the science behind the news, there are lots of stories about inflation in economies across the world. When inflation happens your money doesn’t go as far, so what does psychology say about how much money you really need to make you happy?

We humans aren’t the only ones experiencing inflation either, trees are suffering from it too. We find out what happens when the balance of supply and demand of nutrients between trees and fungi is disrupted by climate change.

And then we take a look at the bigger picture - the much bigger picture - as cosmologist Ghazal Geshnizjani tells us about how the entire universe once existed in a space smaller than a marble.

Plus, are Romanian bear populations inflating? We probe a scientist about spider webs – why do they look the way they do? And we look at vaping – it’s illegal in some countries while smokers in other countries are encouraged to take it up.

All that plus your emails, WhatsApps and some unexpected elephants.

The black child raised by white supremacists

Shane McCrae is an award-winning African-American poet and writer whose work often addresses the black experience in the US. Poetry became a way of making sense of his difficult and abusive upbringing. As a child, Shane was raised by his white maternal grandparents in a deeply racist household. Now both dead, they taught him the Nazi salute, told him that he “tanned very easily” and that he was living with them because his black father didn’t want him. But when Shane was a teenager, he would learn the truth about the racial prejudice and deception that divided him from his dad Stanley.

This episode was first broadcast in October 2020. Since then Shane has written a memoir called Pulling the Chariot of the Sun: A Memoir of a Kidnapping.

It is one of the world's best selling video games, but from tomorrow you will not find it on the shelves anymore - at least not in the same packaging. After 30 years, the football simulation game FIFA, is changing its name to EA Sports FC. The rebranded game hits the shelves this week. The games maker is stepping out of the football governing body's shadow following a reported disagreement over the cost of the licence to use the FIFA name.

Swiss glaciers lose 10% of volume in two years

Switzerland’s glaciers have lost a further four percent of their volume this year – the second biggest loss ever, following last year’s record melt of six percent. Scientists say the dramatic ice loss is a clear symptom of global warming, and is likely to be irreversible even if climate targets are met. We speak to our environment correspondent and to a mountain tour guide about the impact of the loss.

Separatist officials in Nagorno Karabakh say they're officially ending independence efforts, as people continue to flee after Azerbaijan seized control of the territory. We speak to our correspondent in the region.

What did a 465-million-year-old trilobite eat for dinner? And how can we possibly know? Archaeologist Per Ahlberg has used x-ray to peer into the guts of one ancient scuttling creature and worked out what it what was munching on in its final moments.

The Hare Krishna MC

Jake Emlyn’s musical talents were once hailed by international pop star Robbie Williams, who mentored the young English rapper. It lead him to feature on the albums of major stars and tour worldwide.

However, 10 years ago, on the verge of signing a major record deal, Jake’s life dramatically changed. Jake lost his father to cancer and it prompted a journey of reflection and self-discovery. A chance meeting with a Hare Krishna monk led Jake to visit the Radha Krishna temple in central London and from then on Jake was hooked to spiritual life. He did not sign the big music deal and instead, for the past decade, decided to devote his life to the Hare Krishna movement, chanting mantras, serving in the temple and taking part in the iconic practise of hare naam, where followers sing and dance in praise of Lord Krishna through public streets. Jake also combined his rapping skills with his religious life and is now billed as the world’s number one Hare Krishna rapper. He has released religious rap albums and become a well-known figure for millions of Hare Krishna followers around the world.

However when Rajeev Gupta meets Jake he quickly discovers that he is at a crossroad and is questioning how closely he wants to remain within the Hare Krishna fold. He wants to do new music incorporating all his life experiences but he knows this would mean cutting ties with some within the Hare Krishna movement. Is this a new turning point in Jake’s life and can he continue to call himself the world’s number one Hare Krishna rapper?

How a flood exposed Libya’s broken state

Earlier this month two dams collapsed after torrential rain in eastern Libya. Whole neighbourhoods in the city of Derna were swept into the sea.
More than 15,000 Libyans are dead or missing and the full death toll may never been known.
Since the ousting of long-time leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, Libya has been riven by power struggles and currently has two governments - a UN-recognised one based in Tripoli, and another in the country's east backed by General Khalifa Haftar.
He has been calling the flooding a natural disaster but many Libyans disagree, saying the eastern government had neglected the dams despite prior warnings about their fragile condition.
There have been protests in Derna against the leadership in the region but anger is also being expressed across the country. The anguish and anger across Libya have now developed into demands for an investigation. But who will conduct this investigation?
Libya is rich in oil wealth but the country's infrastructure is crumbling and the elites are increasingly accused of rampant corruption.
Could this be a reset moment for Libya?

Shaun Ley is joined by:
Mary Fitzgerald - A writer and researcher focused on Libya and non-resident scholar for the Middle East Institute think tank.
Tarek Megerisi - Senior policy fellow with the Middle East and North Africa programme at the European Council on Foreign Relations.
Elham Saudi - Co-founder and Director of Lawyers for Justice in Libya, an NGO focusing on accountability, human rights and the rule of law in Libya.

Also in the programme:
Othman Abdul Jalil - Minister for health for the Eastern Libyan government.
Noura El-Jerbi - A Libyan journalist from Derna but now living in Turkey.

Venezuela's extraordinary prison raid

Last week Venezuela sent 11,000 troops into the notorious Tocorón jail to retake control. For years it's been run by inmates, and was headquarters to the international crime organisation, the Aragua Train, although its leader, Héctor Guerrero, escaped. BBC Mundo's Valentina Oropeza shares insights into the story and the prison, which boasted a pool, nightclub and even a mini-zoo.

Esports at the Asian games
The 19th Asian Games kicked off in the Chinese city of Hangzhou last Saturday. Esports made its debut as a medal winning event, and the high price tickets in the space-age stadium rapidly sold out. BBC Chinese Zhijie Shao sheds light on esports, and some of the regional geopolitics also on display.

Lebanon's celebration gun deaths
An average of eight people a year are killed in Lebanon by stray bullets from celebratory gunfire, and despite widespread calls to end this deadly ritual, many seem unwilling to leave their guns behind for big events. Carine Torbey of BBC Arabic has been looking into the causes and social significance of this problem.

Syrian single mums in Turkey
Turkey has the world’s largest refugee population with an estimated 3.3 million Syrians living there. Attitudes to them have shifted, and many now face outright hostility from Turks wanting them gone. BBC Turkish journalist Fundanur Öztürk recently reported on the sexual harassment facing Syrian single mothers in this hostile environment.

Gurkhas in the Indian Army
For decades, Nepal has allowed its Gurkha soldiers to join the Indian army under a special agreement. The tradition has been passed down through the generations, but since India unilaterally changed its contracts to a short four-year term the Nepali government has paused recruitment, as the BBC's Anbarasan Ethirajan explains.

FRI 20:06 BBC OS Conversations (w3ct5b2c)
War and fatigue in Ukraine

Winter is approaching once again in the war and, for all the combat in the summer, the situation remains largely unchanged for both Ukrainian and Russian forces. There is talk that the conflict could go on for many years.

President Volodymyr Zelensky is still firmly focused on victory for Ukraine but he admits that the mood among some of his international backers appears to be changing. But on the battlefields, what are the attitudes of Ukrainians?

Host Lukwesa Burak speaks to two Ukrainian soldiers, Yuriy, who was a journalist before the war broke out, and Olena, a sniper in the army who first joined as a volunteer in 2014.

We hear from families, including Olha, whose husband, father and brother are all fighting. “It’s constant fearing, constant uncertainty,” she tells us. “I never let my phone out of my hands, I always have it to check they are okay.”

We also bring together three journalists who are covering the conflict: Ukraine correspondent for the UK’s Financial Times, Christopher Miller, freelance journalist and documentary maker, Jessica Daly and Andriy Kulykov, a Ukrainian radio journalist for more than 40 years. They share with host of the BBC’s Ukrainecast, Vitaliy Shevchenko, that they are tired of reporting on the loss of life. But they say it motivates them to keep recording what they believe is the story of this century.

BBC OS Conversations is a Boffin Media production in partnership with the OS team.

FRI 20:32 CrowdScience (w3ct4y4m)
What is consciousness?

It's pretty obvious to each of us that we are conscious, as we go about our days and feel the experience of just ‘being ourselves'. But how do we know that someone else is conscious?

It’s something we lose during dreamless sleep, under anaesthesia or in a coma. But what exactly is consciousness? On the one hand, it’s pretty obvious - it’s what we all feel as we go about our daily lives. It's the experience of 'being you'. On the other hand, it gets pretty tricky when we try to pin down the science of it all. How do we know that someone (or something) else is conscious?

CrowdScience listener Sylvester was wondering about this and he got in touch with a few questions on the subject. What is the relationship between our consciousness and reality? Is it all just a hallucination? When does it start and stop? Does consciousness reside in a particular part of the brain?

Host Marnie Chesterton sets out to tackle this elusive but utterly fundamental quality of life and sees how researchers are attempting to conceptualise and study it.

In the relatively young field of consciousness multiple theories have emerged. A new way of testing them - an adversarial collaboration - is offering a novel approach to not just consciousness research but science more broadly. We visit one lab in Frankfurt that's running experiments for the most recent adversarial collaboration and trying to test two theories of consciousness – Global Neuronal Workspace Theory (GNW) and Integrated Information Theory (IIT) – against each other.

Looking at these and other concepts of consciousness like Qualia, Marnie tries to understand this central tenet of our human experience that, in many ways, remains one of the great mysteries of science.
