SAT 03:06 Outlook (w3ct69b1)
The children of the Holocaust, 80 years on

This week marks 80 years since the Auschwitz death camp was liberated and as the years pass the importance of gathering and keeping survivors' stories is felt more and more keenly. At Outlook we’ve spoken to many incredible people who personally experienced the holocaust, and so in this edition we bring you some of those voices and testimony.

Dita Kraus was only 14 when she arrived at the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp in Nazi-controlled Poland. She found some escape from the daily horror by working in the children’s hut, looking after a small collection of books. She has written her own book about her experience entitled A Delayed Life: The True Story of the Librarian of Auschwitz. This interview was first broadcast in 2020.

Deported from Hungary when he was five, Peter Lantos spent time in the forced labour camp Bergen-Belsen. 21 of his relatives were murdered. Peter became a successful neuroscientist and has also written about his experiences but from the perspective of his five-year-old self, his book is called The Boy Who Didn’t Want To Die. This interview was first broadcast in 2023.

When she was 11 Eva Mendelsson’s mother Sylvia Cohn gave her a book of poems that she had written. It is her most treasured possession – her mother’s words following Eva throughout her life. Sylvia gave up her daughters so they could be smuggled out of Nazi-controlled France while she herself was sent to Auschwitz. This interview was first broadcast in 2021.

Henry Wuga was a teenage apprentice chef when his mother managed to get him a place on the Kindertransport, a scheme through which thousands of Jewish children were able to escape Nazi-controlled countries just before the outbreak of World War Two. Following a series of misunderstandings Henry found himself temporarily locked up in internment camps in Britain, however his cooking skills helped him make the best of the situation. This interview was first broadcast in 2023, sadly Henry passed away last year (2024), aged 100.

SAT 03:50 Witness History (w3ct5yft)
English TV lessons in China go primetime

In 1981 the first major series of English lessons was broadcast on Chinese television.

President Deng Xiaoping had allowed private enterprise and was pursuing an era of “opening up” to the rest of the world. It followed a decade of educational turmoil when teachers had been castigated as bourgeois by the former leader Mao Zedong.

Kathy Flower presented the English education programme, Follow Me, several times a week at primetime. It was watched by an estimated 500 million people keen to get a taste of the English language and observe westerners on television. Kathy Flower recalls to Josephine McDermott what it was like becoming the most famous foreign person in China.

Are quantum computers already super-powerful?

Google claim their latest quantum computer chip is able to process something in five minutes it would take a normal computer 10 septillion years to figure out.

As this is a massive amount longer than the entire history of the known universe, that seems to suggest the chip is extremely powerful.

But when you understand what’s going on, the claim doesn’t seem quite so impressive.

Dr Peter Leek, a quantum computer scientist from Oxford University, explains the key context.

Immigrants in America

Hours after his inauguration, President Donald Trump declared a national emergency at America’s southern border with Mexico. He vowed that "all illegal entry will be halted" and that millions of "criminal aliens" would be deported.

Many undocumented residents in the United States - who have been living, working and paying taxes there for years - are now fearful that they too will be deported. Alejandra was born in Mexico and was brought to the US by her undocumented parents when she was five. She grew up with her siblings in South Carolina “in the shadows” and now has legal status but is afraid for her family’s future.

“My dad is the head of our home,” said Alejandra. “Everything would fall apart. My dad has a mortgage. We would lose the house. It really does alter everybody’s life.”

We also hear from residents in Texas who support President Trump’s actions. Ross Barrera lives in Rio Grande City, which is close to the Mexican border and has seen illegal migrants trying to enter the country on a regular basis.

“Every day we see high speed chases of the border patrol,” said Barrera. “We see folks crossing our highways in the morning when the school buses pick up the kids. We see folks being picked up by border patrol. We see property being damaged.”

Hosted by Krupa Padhy with conversations by Mark Lowen and Luke Jones.

Captain Maro

The men's Six Nations get underway on Friday whilst current champions Ireland start their defence by welcoming England and their newly appointed captain Maro Itoje. When not leading his nations rugby team Maro collects African art and funds innovative schemes to help those who need help to attain the education they deserve. Born in North London to Nigerian parents Maro he's been telling Sportshour's Katie Smith about his life off the pitch and work the work of his charitable foundation.

From catches to crops, tackles to tilling and football to farming! For many a career in the NFL is what their entire life is primed for. But it can leave some, even those who achieve their dream feeling hollow, their life lacking meaning beyond the playing field. At the age of 29 and after seeing out a record-breaking contract that made him the best paid player in his position, in the NFL, he walked away from the game and into one of the worlds hardest professions. That is when Jason Brown the football star became Jason Brown the farmer. He has been telling Sportshour’s Katie Smith, early one morning from his fruit farm in North Carolina, about his remarkable story and about the two million tons of food he gives away annually for free.

The Premier League's winter transfer window has been open throughout January... but on Monday... it closes... Or slams shut if you prefer! So, this weekend marks a frantic and final opportunity for players to complete a move. So, who better to speak to than football agent Barry Silkman. Barry has been an agent for many years having had a successful career in the lower reaches of English football, although he also made a handful of appearances at Manchester City. After his career ended Barry realised there was a lack of player advocacy and so he set about helping other players get contracts. His client list over the years is illustrious and very nearly included finalising a deal for Newcastle United to buy Zinedine Zidane! As if football wasnt enough, Barry spread his wing into the world of entertainment and took several famous singers under his wing, including Rod Stewart and Phil Collins.

Meg Rosoff: How I Live Now

Novelist Meg Rosoff joins Harriett Gilbert to answer listeners' questions about one of her best-loved novels, How I Live Now.

It is the story of Daisy, an American teenager shipped off to live with her aunt and cousins in England. What is at first an idyllic escape into English countryside life is shattered at the onset of War, when England is suddenly occupied by an unknown enemy. Daisy finds herself struggling to survive and keep her new family safe as they face violence, fear and starvation, while at the same time experiencing her first love, with her own cousin - Edmond.

Beautiful, brutal, and laced with Daisy’s razor-sharp, jaded teenage humour, this is a book that brings readers into a world that feels incredibly, terrifyingly real, and will likely stay in your memory for years to come.

George Best scores a double hat-trick

On 7 February 1970, footballing legend George Best returned from a month-long ban to score six goals in one game.

The striker wanted to prove the critics wrong who said Manchester United had been playing better without him.

Ray Fairfax, from Northampton Town, was tasked with marking the Ballon d'Or winner.

He tells Vicky Farncombe the unusual methods his side used to prepare for the match – including drinking sherry and eggs - and how it felt to face Best’s skill.

“It seemed as though he was destined for everything that had gone before to say: ‘I'm here, this is what I can do.’,” says Ray.

Flamboyant Funerals

Ghana has a reputation for staging some of the most eccentric funerals in the world – boasting extraordinary displays of colour, dancing, deep rooted history, and a strong association with Ghanaian royalty. Hannah Ajala takes the listener on a compelling aural journey as she uncovers the stories behind this unique and complex tradition.

In West Africa, end of life celebrations are a far cry from those in the Western world. Each funeral can take weeks or months to plan and they are often more lavish – and expensive - than weddings. Funerals are an essential part of paying respect to the departed.

Flamboyant Funerals travels to the cultural capital of the country, Kumasi, to witness a Ghanaian funeral first hand. She delves into the significance of these ancient traditions: the dancing, the dress code, the burial and final funeral rites as well as the role played by the ‘talking drums’.

With thanks to the Buabeng family and Derrick Asiamah, MrAnchor.

Reel Revolution? The dramatic rise of Saudiwood

Saudi Arabia is rolling out the red carpet to filmmakers and foreign companies as it sets out to establish itself as a major player in the entertainment industry. After lifting a 35-year ban on cinemas in 2018, the Kingdom is now luring Hollywood with cash incentives to shoot in the desert, and playing host to a glitzy international film festival. The move is all part of Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman's ‘Vision 2030’ - a grand blueprint to rewrite the Kingdom's script, diversify its economy away from oil, and expand its cultural influence though films, gaming and sport, all at the same time seeking to keep an overwhelming young population happy. It is a dramatic transformation with writers, directors and actors now prepared to test boundaries and break taboos on screen. But as Emily Wither finds out Saudi Arabia is still a country where not every story can be told.

Trump's deportation drive hits home in Mexico

Pascale Harter introduces correspondents' and reporters' despatches from Mexico, the USA, Bangladesh and Ivory Coast.

In cities across the US, the Immigration Enforcement Agency has been conducting raids and arresting thousands of undocumented migrants, as part of President Trump’s immigration crackdown. Many Latin American nations are preparing for the potential arrival of tens of thousands of people in the coming weeks. Will Grant reports from both sides of the US-Mexico border.

Donald Trump has been moving at a blistering pace to set in train his agenda for his second term. A flood of executive orders and announcements was unleashed - including ending federal diversity programmes, renaming landmarks, and withdrawing the US from the Paris climate agreement and the WHO. Anthony Zurcher joined the president on board Air Force One.

Bangladesh's success in lowering infant mortality rates has made it something of a global public health success story. But deaths related to diarrheal diseases, like cholera and rotavirus, still run high because of long-standing problems of overcrowding, poor sanitation and scarcity of clean water. Rebecca Root visited the world's largest diarrhoeal hospital, the ICCDR-B in Dhaka, and heard how climate change is adding to its staff's worries.

You might have noticed your favourite treats getting a little smaller recently. As costs of manufacture, shipping and raw cacao nibs have risen, chocolate makers have been reducing their packet or bar sizes - even if the price tags have gone up. But how much of the money goes back to the growers? John Murphy asked the people working cocoa plantations in Ivory Coast if they're seeing any benefits from booming cocoa prices.

The dark side of music streaming

In September last year, musician Michael Smith of North Carolina was charged with stealing millions from music streaming services. The US Department of Justice has accused him of using artificial intelligence tools and thousands of bots to fraudulently stream songs billions of times - taking millions of dollars of royalties which otherwise would have been paid to real artists.
The case has been labeled as ‘unprecedented’ and ‘the first of its kind’. But could fraud on music streaming services actually be much more prevalent than any of the platforms let on?
BBC Trending speaks to music industry insiders, and those fighting back against streaming fraud.

Crunch!

Why do we enjoy foods that crunch?

Listener Sheila Harris contacted The Food Chain with that question and asked us to find out if the food texture has any benefits.

Ruth Alexander speaks to Danielle Reed, Chief Science Officer at the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia, US, who says that crunchy foods signal freshness and help our brains decide if a food is safe to eat.

Paediatric dentist Ashley Lerman in New York, US says crunchy fruit and vegetables can act as a natural tooth cleaner.

Anthropologist Professor Noreen von Cramon-Taubadel at the University at Buffalo in New York, US says that the texture of our diets can impact the shape of our faces. Her work has studied how jaw shape has changed as humans switched from hunter gatherer to farming diets.

Ciarán Forde, Professor of Sensory Science and Eating Behaviour at Wageningen University in the Netherlands explains how crunchy and other hard textures could help us to eat more slowly and consume fewer calories.

And could crunch make foods more palatable? Chef Dulsie Fadzai Mudekwa in Zimbabwe says the texture is key to convincing people to try edible insects.

Sharing the river

In the farming community of Los Negros in rural Bolivia, the river is their life and livelihood. So when that river started to dry up, it made life very hard. They blamed the villages upstream for not looking after their precious water.

This conflict could have turned ugly. But with the support of a local charity, what came out of it instead was a ground-breaking agreement. After years of negotiations, the town at the bottom of the river agreed to support the communities upstream to protect their forests and keep the river healthy.

The idea is now the blueprint for water sharing agreements between communities across the continent.

Is my smartwatch good for my health?

Smartwatches are increasingly popular and many of us use these wearable devices to monitor our performance and improve our fitness. But how reliable is the data they collect, and can they actually make us healthier?

CrowdScience listener Caitlin from Malawi is a big fan of her smartwatch. Her husband Fayaz, however, is much more sceptical of its accuracy, and has asked us to investigate. We meet up with them both at the gym, where Caitlin and presenter Caroline Steel put their fitness trackers – and themselves – to the test.

We visit public health researchers Dr Cailbhe Doherty and Rory Lambe, who investigate the accuracy of wearable consumer devices, at University College Dublin. Caroline again pushes herself to the limit to see how her smartwatch results measure up to those from gold standard laboratory equipment.

But is it crucial for smartwatches to be accurate? If they get us off the couch, is that what makes the difference to our health? Health behaviour expert Dr Ty Ferguson from the University of South Australia has studied this very question. And finally, how does quantifying our every move affect the way we think about ourselves and how we live? Professor Deborah Lupton from UNSW Sydney, shares some insights.

The following year, he published three hugely influential books making the case for his theory of “deconstruction”, which questioned the foundations of Western thought and knowledge.

Deconstruction’s influence can still be felt today: from calls to decolonise the curriculum, to experimental architecture, to feminist retellings of the classics. While the word “deconstruct” has become widely used.

On his death in 2004, The Guardian newspaper wrote: "Derrida's name has probably been mentioned more frequently in books, journals, lectures, and common-room conversations during the last 30 years than that of any other living thinker.”

Hélène Cixous is one of France's most influential writers and a lifelong friend of Derrida. She speaks to Ben Henderson.

The 'Wolf Children' of World War Two and China's TV lessons

We hear from 'wolf child' Luise Quietsch who was separated from her family and forced to flee East Prussia. Whilst trying to survive during World War Two, these children were likened to hungry wolves roaming through forests.

Journalist and documentary film-maker Sonya Winterberg who recorded the testimony of “wolf children” for her book, discusses the profound impact it had on their lives.

We also hear about the first major series of English lessons which were broadcast on Chinese television in 1981. Kathy Flower presented the English education programme, Follow Me, several times a week at primetime. It was watched by an estimated 500 million people keen to get a taste of the English language and observe westerners on television. Kathy Flower recalls what it was like becoming the most famous foreign person in China.

A series of unprecedented teachers’ strikes temporarily shut most of New York’s schools in the late 1960s, provoked by an ongoing dispute over whether parents could have a say in the running of their children’s schools. Monifa Edwards was a pupil at a school in the district of Ocean Hill-Brownsville, a name that became synonymous with the struggle over who controlled the local schools: the communities or the mainly white city officials.

On 16 March 1988, loyalist paramilitary Michael Stone killed three mourners and injured 60 others attending a funeral for IRA members killed in Gibraltar. American journalist Bill Buzenberg, who was covering the funeral for National Public Radio in the US, was knocked off his feet in the gun and grenade attack.

Finally we head to Eastern Europe in 1989, where approximately two million people joined hands across across Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania to form a human chain demanding independence from the Soviet Union. It was a key moment in the protests in Eastern Europe that became known as the Singing Revolution. In 2010, Damien McGuinness spoke to MEP Sandra Kalniete, a Latvian organiser of the event.

Will Germany lift the firewall around the AfD?

Since the end of World War Two and Nazi rule, Germany has been hyper-vigilant about keeping right-wing hardliners out of government. For decades, mainstream politicians have shunned parties like the AfD. But now, with a federal election just weeks away and the AfD rising in the polls, a frontrunner in the race for chancellor has accepted the party’s support on an immigration bill. It’s an unprecedented step. But does it mean the far-right is being normalised?

On this episode, Jonny Dymond speaks to the BBC’s correspondents in Berlin, Damien McGuinness and Jess Parker, about the evolution of the AfD, and how the party’s growing popularity challenges the way Germans think about their own politics and history.

The DNA request that revealed my child had gone missing

In April 2010, Cathy Terkanian received a letter that turned her world upside down. It revealed that her daughter, Alexis, whom she’d had to place for adoption in 1974, had gone missing. Then she was given more shocking news—the police had a new lead, could the unidentified body of a young woman found in Wisconsin be Alexis? They needed Cathy’s DNA to confirm it. As Cathy began to process this, her own painful past surfaced. She had run away from home as a teenager, joining a circus before getting pregnant with Alexis aged 15. In the years after Cathy was pressured to have Alexis adopted, Cathy became a nurse and married, but never had any other children, always thinking about the daughter she had to say goodbye to.

Following the news of Alexis’ disappearance Cathy couldn’t sit and wait for the DNA test results, she needed answers. Determined to find them she turned detective, connecting with Carl Koppelman, an amateur sleuth investigating cold cases. Together they started to unearth evidence that made Cathy suspect the worst—that Alexis’ adoptive father, Dennis Bowman, had something to do with her disappearance.

Cathy had always hoped her daughter Alexis would come looking for her; instead she spent a decade searching for Alexis. This mother’s quest for truth and justice has also been made into a Netflix documentary called Into the Fire: The Lost Daughter.

Spain: ‘Liquid gold’ under pressure

Spain is the world’s largest producer of olive oil. But successive, brutal droughts have led to plummeting production, whilst prices have reached record highs. For 2024 / 2025, the weather’s been better - Spain’s predicted to increase the quantity of olives harvested. Even so, this remains a stressed industry. Climate change hasn’t gone away - as we saw so devastatingly last year in Valencia. And in some areas of Spain, the scarcity of water has persisted, with predictions of a near 90% drop in olive production. Critics say super-intensive farming - the rise of the olive ‘mega-farm’ – may also further threaten depleted water resources. Meanwhile, the soaring price of the olives that produce ‘liquid gold’ means rural law enforcement is taken up with cases of theft by criminal gangs targeting this precious commodity.

For Assignment, Linda Pressly and Esperanza Escribano report from the olive groves of Spain at harvest time.

Why do Germans take so much time off sick?

The country’s sick leave policy is one of the most generous in the world.

Employees get full pay for the first six weeks they’re off, after that their health insurance policy will pay them a large portion of their salary for a further 18 months.

This means the culture around taking sick leave is different to other countries, and the average worker takes 20 days off sick each year.

We find out why, and look at the impact on business and the German economy.

Oradour massacre

In June 1944, a village in France was destroyed in just one day. German soldiers entered Oradour-sur-Glane and gathered the villagers together. They separated the men from the women and children and took groups to different locations of the village.

On that day, 642 were killed. Robert Hébras was just a teenager at the time.

Robert’s granddaughter, Agathe Hébras tells Gill Kearsley his powerful story, from the arrival of the soldiers to his escape and then his realisation that he was one of the few survivors of the massacre.

The boy who brought anime to life in Pakistan

Usman Riaz grew up in Karachi with a passion for Japanese cartoons, spending hours drawing out individual frames of Studio Ghibli films every day after school. So while he obsessed over movies like My Neighbour Totoro, Princess Mononoke and Kiki’s Delivery Service, he never dreamed he could become a hand-drawn animator because the industry didn’t exist in Pakistan.

So Usman turned to music, getting a scholarship to Berklee College in the US and found success performing for Coke Studio and NPR’s Tiny Desk. But then an awkward encounter in Tokyo, a traumatising moment at the Boston Marathon bombings, and a leap of faith propelled him to build his own animation studio. He marshalled an unlikely team of animators - including a janitor, former doctors and dentists – to create Pakistan’s first ever hand-drawn animated feature film. The Glassworker, Usman’s homage to the anime films of his childhood, was longlisted for the 2025 Oscars.

Estonia's Defence Minister calls for greater NATO spending

Estonia's Defence Minister Hanno Pevkur tells Will Bain that more countries should up their military spending to five per cent of GDP, in an effort to combat Russian aggression. It follows US President Donald Trump's assertion that too many members of the NATO military alliance rely on America's military might and spending.

China announces retaliatory tariffs against the US after President Trump imposed a ten per cent tax on all Chinese imports. The counter-measures includes tax on coal, gas, oil and cars.

Shooting attack at school in Sweden

According to Swedish media police are saying several people have been killed. The shootings took place in the city of Orebro and people have been asked to stay away from the area.

We'll look at the fallout from President Trump's tariffs on some of America's trade partners. China has fired back at the US with new taxes on some American goods, starting next Monday. This is in retaliation for the 10% tariffs imposed by President Trump on Chinese exports heading to the United States.

And in the Democratic Republic of Congo - the United Nations is calling for the airport in Goma in eastern Congo to be reopened immediately to help address a humanitarian emergency. The city was captured by Rwandan-backed M23 rebels last week and hundreds of people were killed in the fighting.

But Canada also has a list of problems to address from within, such as rising property costs and new rules on immigration.

Can Trump win a trade war with China?

The long-running economic battle between the world's two biggest economies has escalated. This week US President Donald Trump brought tariffs against China in an effort to strongarm the growing superpower into submission and strengthen American markets. But Beijing hit back, raising its own tariffs, escalating a trade war that could have implications for both countries. Trump is betting that tariffs will make America, and American people, richer. But does anyone win in a trade war?

On this episode, Lucy Hockings speaks to the BBC’s Asia Pacific editor Micky Bristow, and Ritika Gupta, a North America business correspondent, about why Trump loves tariffs and what impact a trade war between China and America could have on the global economy.

The NYPD cop who gave children a break from the Troubles

Irishman Denis Mulcahy emigrated from County Cork to the United States in 1962 and ended up becoming an expert with the NYPD bomb squad. Watching the Troubles back home in Northern Ireland, Denis and his friends hatched a plan to give children caught up in the violence, six weeks respite in the United States over the summer. Over four decades, the programme known as Project Children, brought together 23,000 Catholic and Protestant kids from either side of the divide, helping to inoculate them from the sectarianism tearing their homeland apart. Among the first group of children brought over to the US in 1975 were nine-year-old Kevin Brady and eleven-year-old John Cheevers. For them, that first visit to upstate New York would not only shape them as individuals but alter the course of their lives. Denis Mulcahy has received numerous awards for his work in bomb disposal and with Project Children, and has been nominated twice for a Nobel Peace Prize.

Germany: Rebellion on the Rhine

After talks in Germany on government spending collapsed, chancellor Olaf Scholz was forced to dissolve his coalition and call for snap elections, to be held on 23 February. The new chancellor looks like a foregone conclusion - opposition leader Friedrich Merz. But there is so much more at stake in these elections than the next few years in the chancellor's seat.

The bigger question is what this vote will tell us about Germany's post-war political "firewall" against anti-democratic parties. Germany has long resisted the influence of the far-right and left in their coalitions, but as politics around the world realigns, could Germany's famously staid political culture be about to get a whole lot less boring overnight? Jeremy Cliffe goes to Ludwigshafen to find out.

The world's oldest restaurants

People have been eating out in restaurants and bars for hundreds of years, and some of those early establishments are still open today.

This week Ruth Alexander meets the people running some of the world’s oldest restaurants. When so many close within the first 12 months of opening, what’s the secret to centuries-old success?

Antonio Gonzales Gomez runs Botin, in the Spanish capital Madrid. The restaurant is judged as the oldest by the Guinness World Records, and he tells us how he and his family have kept it going for so long.

Ruth heads to the east of England to Nottingham, where the battle to claim the title of 'world's oldest pub' is fierce. Buildings archaeologist Dr James Wright explains what evidence he's found to declare the winner.

We hear how a 200-year-old tavern in Missouri, in the United States, has been battling to stay open, and the man who runs the "oldest sausage restaurant in the world" tells us why being located of an historic German town boosts business.

Widespread condemnation of US plan for Gaza

There's been international condemnation of President Trump's plans for Gaza and Arab states have rejected it. Meanwhile the United Nations Secretary General, Antonio Guterres, has warned the US leader against ethnic cleansing. The US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, said Mr Trump only wanted Palestinians to leave temporarily, while Gaza was reconstructed.

A key figure in any future plan for Gaza will be Mr Trump's Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff. We'll take a closer look at the billionaire property developer and friend of the president.

And in another move to exclude women from work and public life, a women run radio station in Afghanistan has been shut down by the Taliban

Warmest January on record

Last month was the world's warmest Jauary on record and the result is puzzling climate scientists who were expecting lower temperatures because of a shift away from a natural weather pattern in the Pacific known as El Nino.

The world is still reacting to Presidet Trump's comments about the future of Gaza. For many his proposal, to move two million people out of Gaza, is simply a non-starter.

And we'll head to the Caucasus where a jailed Georgian based journalist who runs two online independent news organisations and has been on hunger strike is now in hospital.

Where are we in the battle against inflation?

In the decade that followed the Great Financial Crisis, inflation rates remained low and steady, and in some cases even threatened to turn negative, as economies around the world struggled to recover.

This era came to an abrupt end in recent years following the double economic shocks of the Covid pandemic and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Many central banks and senior policymakers were caught on the back foot as inflation rates soared to levels not seen for nearly half a century in some countries.

Although rates have since come down from those highs, they are still proving tricky to completely get under control, causing concern among some observers. We explore what inflation is, where it comes from, what has been happening in recent years and what the outlook might be. Our panel includes
Stephen D. King, author and senior economic adviser at HSBC, Vicky Pryce, chief economic adviser at the Centre for Economics and Business Research, Marieke Blom, chief economist and global head of research at ING and Manoj Pradham, author and chief economist at Talking Heads Macroeconomics.

The first global case of coral bleaching

In 1998, a mysterious phenomenon turned many of the world’s most colourful coral reefs deathly white.

It was the first recorded global coral bleaching event in history, and ecologists blamed it on rising ocean temperatures caused by climate change.

Studies showed that when the oceans get warmer, it stresses the corals, causing them to expel the algae that give them their colour, and so turn white.

Since then there have been four global bleaching events, which have destroyed up to 20% of the world’s reefs, and threatened the economy, tourism and livelihoods of more than 30 countries.

Marine ecologist Clive Wilkinson worked as co-ordinator for the Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network, based in Queensland, Australia. He tells Jane Wilkinson how the first reports of the phenomenon caused shockwaves in 1998.

Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past. We take you to the events that have shaped our world through the eyes of the people who were there. For nine minutes every day, we take you back in time and all over the world, to examine wars, coups, scientific discoveries, cultural moments and much more.

Trump’s Gaza plan: The end of the two-state solution?

President Donald Trump wants to take over Gaza and rebuild it as an international hotspot for business and tourism. The plan could drastically change the future of the Middle East. For decades, US presidents have said that establishing a sovereign Palestinian state, to exist alongside Israel, is the only way to achieve a permanent peace. But can that ever happen if Gazans are moved out of Gaza, as President Trump has suggested?

On this episode, presenter Jonny Dymond speaks to the BBC’s diplomatic correspondent Paul Adams and the longstanding – if distant – diplomatic hopes for two-state solution.

A stroke of insight: A doctor who learnt as her brain failed

Dr Jill Bolte Taylor was a Harvard neuroanatomist researching the brain when in 1996, aged 37, she woke to find she was having a massive stroke. For most people it would be a harrowing, life-threatening experience, but for Jill, it brought about a new insight into the workings of the mind. As her brain functions - motion, speech, and memory - failed her, she felt an overwhelming sense of peace. Once the surgeons had removed a clot the size of a golf ball from the left side of her brain, she began an eight-year recovery. Learning to walk and talk again, she was determined to share with the world what she had glimpsed.

When South African Vuvu Mpofu was a teenager in Port Elizabeth, she saw La Traviata on DVD for the first time and it made her fall in love with opera. At first, her family did not approve of her opera obsession and her friends even mocked her. But Vuvu was determined and started studying opera at university, eventually changing their minds. A year before graduating, her mother died and it was then that opera came to her aid. Rather than counselling sessions, she turned to the art as it “soothed her soul.” Vuvu now performs at some of the world’s most prestigious opera houses. She says that every time she takes to the stage, she thinks of her mother. This was first broadcast in 2019.

We speak to a former foreign minister of Jordan about the idea and an Israeli politician.

Also in the programme: European Union scientists say the world has just experienced the hottest January on record; and reggae legend Bob Marley's birthday. He would have been 80 today.

The presidents of Panama and the US are scheduled to talk later today to discuss tensions over the Panama Canal. The talks follow a war of words about the control of the strategic waterway.

The authorities on the Greek island of Santorini have declared a state of emergency. The measures come after a week of seismic activity which has prompted more than eleven-thousand people to seek safety off the island.

In eastern Democratic Republic of Congo the rebel M23 group have installed a new governing administration. The group are consolidating their position and also threatening other towns in the region.

Impact of freeze on US foreign aid

We look at how President Donald Trump is reshaping American foreign policy with a barrage of executive orders having major implications for many nations and millions of people around the world. We hear from a former USAID director, the humanitarian agency Mr Trump is trying to overhaul or perhaps dismantle. Meanwhile, the US president has signed an executive order sanctioning the International Criminal Court. We ask what practical implications that could have on the operations of the court.

We hear about the mysterious city of Shwe Kokko in Myanmar, accused of being a city built on scams, drugs and human trafficking. Our correspondent was able to visit.

The M23 rebels are moving to consolidate their control over the city of Goma in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo. We speak to our Africa correspondent and the UN peacekeepers in the region.

And we look at the problem of recovering the bodies of tens of thousands of missing people in Syria.

FRI 08:50 Witness History (w3ct5yfv)
Heathers: The making of a cult classic

In 1989, a dark teen comedy exploring self-harm and suicide flopped at cinemas.

Heathers would have to wait years before achieving cult status through home video tape releases.

Its stark portrayal of teenage life launched an age of more radical teen movies.

Actress Lisanne Falk played one of the ‘Heathers’, a titular trio of girls who ruled their school, until someone started taking them down.

She tells Drew Hyndman about Heathers’ journey to cult classic.

FRI 10:06 Unexpected Elements (w3ct5q34)
All by myself

French president Emmanuel Macron recently announced that Leonardo da Vinci’s famous Mona Lisa painting will be moved to her very own room at the Louvre, as part of a plan to renovate the iconic museum.

And that got us thinking. Once the crowds have gone home every night, the Mona Lisa will be all by herself, with no other paintings to smile at enigmatically across the room.

So this week, we are talking all things isolation. We start things off by finding out about a key cognitive skill that may have been impacted by COVID-19 lockdowns.

Next, we discover more about the history of loneliness and the impact it can have on your health, before discussing what evolutionary roads isolated island species will go down.

Plus, we’re joined by Professor Jonathan Harrington from the University of Munich. He reveals how our accents can be affected by isolation.
That, plus many more Unexpected Elements.

FRI 11:32 The Global Story (w3ct6dxk)
Is the working from home era over?

Many companies are calling staff back to the office for more or all of the working week. When the Covid-19 pandemic upended the usual way of doing business around the world, most firms were forced to change their typical operating practices, allowing employees to work remotely where possible. But what may have looked like a permanent revolution at one stage is becoming a distant memory for some workers.

Host Caitríona Perry talks to the BBC’s employment correspondent Zoe Conway and Stanford University economics professor Nicholas Bloom about whether working remotely for all or part of the week is better for business efficiency, and why some employers are calling time on the practice.

Outlook Mixtape: The museum of memories and dreams

Bosnian Edis Kolar guarded a life-saving tunnel built in the basement of his family home during the siege of Sarajevo. The secret passage provided a safe way to move people and supplies in and out of the surrounded city. Edis tells Outlook's Mariana Des Forges how he lived in the tunnel house for the whole war, helping the thousands who crossed through the passage every day. When the war ended Edis turned his home into a museum to honour the ‘Tunnel of Hope’. This interview was first broadcast in 2020.

At his day job as a security officer at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, Egyptian Armia Malak Khalil spends his time guarding precious artworks, including paintings from great masters like Rubens, Caravaggio and Rembrandt. By night Armia works in a studio in New Jersey making his own artworks – sculptures carved out of wood. One day while at work, Armia thought he was having a conversation with just another museum visitor but this chat would catapult him to an opportunity he could only dream of.

Aparecida Vilaça is a Brazilian anthropologist who spent years in the Amazon recording the stories of Brazil’s indigenous Wari’ people. Many of them were told by the elderly storyteller, Paletó. Aparecida’s original recordings of Paletó were held in Rio de Janeiro in the Indigenous Language collection at the National Museum but were destroyed when the museum burned down in 2018. And Brazilian Beatriz Hörmanseder is a paleontologist who lost all her work in the fire but came up with a unique way to cope with the trauma of that loss. She got a tattoo of the building's facade and set up a project where other students and staff could do the same. Outlook's Maryam Maruf reports. This interview was first broadcast in 2019.

Top criminal court condemns US sanctions on officials

The International Criminal Court has said it will continue to provide justice and hope to the victims of atrocities, after Donald Trump signed an order to impose US sanctions on its staff. The court said it stood firmly by its personnel. Mr Trump signed the order during a visit by the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who faces an ICC arrest warrant for alleged war crimes in Gaza. We hear reaction from the former ICC chief prosecutor Luis Moreno Ocampo.

Also in the programme: we visit the border between Thailand and Myanmar and a strange city built on scams; and what whale song and language learning have in common.

Japan's leader is meeting President Trump

U.S. President Donald Trump hosts the Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba for the first time, as the two allies work to boost business and security ties.

But, given Japan runs a trade defecit with America - can the two stay on friendly economic terms? We hear from one business owner who certainly hopes so...

Also on the programme today we'll be live at a major meeting of those looking to mine critical minerals in Africa.

FRI 20:06 BBC OS Conversations (w3ct5rcx)
Donald Trump and the future of Gaza

Many countries have condemned President Trump in recent days for his proposal to “take over” the Gaza strip while “resettling” Palestinians in neighbouring countries.

In our conversations we hear from two women in Gaza, returning to what’s left of their homes. Weam shares with us an audio diary of her recent experiences and we bring her together with Farida to discuss why they want to stay where they are.

“The people of Gaza have always endured suffering, facing hunger and displacement,” Weam tells host Mark Lowen. “We have never had a say in our fate.”

Donald Trump’s proposal for Gaza would be the largest shift in US policy on the Middle East in decades. Many other nations still support the two-state solution, which would create two separate states – Israel and an independent Palestine – something the Netanyahu government of Israel is against. For our second conversation, we bring together two Israelis who have been involved in past peace talks. What do they think of Donald Trump’s plan?

Why can't I remember my early childhood?

Some of our biggest achievements happen in the first years of our lives. Taking our first steps, picking up a complex language from scratch, and forming relationships with some of the most important people we’ll ever meet. But when we try to remember this period of great change, we often draw a blank.

After losing his Dad aged four, CrowdScience listener Colin has grappled with this. Why can’t he recall memories of such a monumental figure in his life, yet superficial relationships from his teens remain crystal clear in his mind? Colin takes presenter Marnie Chesterton to visit some of the significant locations of his childhood, places he would have spent many hours with his late father; and he recounts his earliest memories.

On this trip down memory lane, Marnie discovers the psychological mechanisms behind our lack of early childhood memories. Sarah Power from the Max Planck Institute for Human Development discusses the evolution of our memory systems, detecting false memories from real ones, and her world-first study exploring how infants form memories in real time. Elaine Reese from the University of Otago digs into the relationship between environment and culture when our earliest experiences solidify into memories. And Tomás Ryan, neuroscientist at Trinity College Dublin, reveals fascinating new insights from animal studies that hint that these memories could still be lurking inside our heads...
