Kritiikki sanovat, että metsäympäristöjä on vahva riski, mutta Aleks ei ole miettinyt, vaikka metsäympäristö oli jo muutama vuosi myöhemmin. Ironiallisesti metsä on paljon paremmin toimittava metsäympäristössä kuin, sanotaanko, kylmä. Kylmä kääntää todennäköisesti 500 C.

Professor de Raica is one of many new foreign arrivals to Portugal, buying up an abandoned plot of land. Locals have been leaving the countryside for decades, and with a shortage of builders, wooden houses are a good option.

Kiitos. Kiitos.

In Sudan there's been an upsurge in drone attacks with deadly consequences. This month alone saw more than 40 people, including children, killed in separate strikes. Now the US has condemned the rival factions for using these unmanned devices. I heard more from our global affairs reporter Richard Kukoi, who's covering the story from Nairobi.

We've seen growing use of drones since the recapture of Hatum, the military from the RSF. And both sides, that's the army and the paramilitary rapid support forces, have been using drones to strike against not just military positions, but we've seen a focus on civilian populated areas like markets, homes, camps for the displaced, and also targeting civilian infrastructure like bridges and also power stations. So that has really been

Tämä on erittäin tärkeä osa. Tämä on erittäin tärkeä osa.

This is inevitable though, isn't it? They've proved what a cheap and effective tool they are in Ukraine, and now they're going to be in every war. It seems so, because as you mentioned, these are widely viewed as low-cost assets, and we have seen an incremental use of drones not just in Sudan, but in other conflicts across Africa. We saw that during the conflict in northern Tigray, in Ethiopia, in Somalia. We've also seen that as well being used in the Sahel region, particularly in West Africa.

Ja se ei ole vain hallituksella, joka tarkoittaa militantteja, mutta me olemme myös nähneet, että jihadistikirjoja käyttävät tätä, jotta he voivat käsitellä hakemuksia maissa kuten Bukina Faso, Mali, Cameroon ja myös Nigeria. Eli hyvin kasvava ja yllättävän trendi, jota voimme sanoa, että olemme nähneet. Joten lyhyesti, Richard, mitä USA haluaa tapahtua ja onko se mahdollisuus?

We heard earlier about US negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner being in Geneva for crucial talks with Iranian officials. But Ukraine is also on their radar, and on Thursday they'll be meeting a Ukrainian team about post-war reconstruction. Kyiv is hoping to attract hundreds of billions of dollars in funding over the next decade to rebuild the country. Paul Adams is in the Ukrainian capital.

This is going to be very much an economic session. This is not a meeting of the full delegations and we're not going to see meetings between the Russians and Ukrainians. They're going to be meeting separately with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, the US mediators, to discuss primarily Ukraine's economic future. Ukraine is looking to secure...

A package of support for the next 10 years. It's thought to be something in the region of 800 billion dollars to try and reconstitute this war-ravaged economy and really put Ukraine back on its feet once a peace agreement is reached. There's an awful lot of elements to thrash out about that, and that will be, I think, the primary focus. There was some

talk also that maybe they will be discussing the next round of prisoner swaps and we might get word on that. Separately, the Kremlin's economic envoy Kirill Dmitriev is also thought to be in Geneva today and he is also going to be meeting the Americans because the Russians are also dangling the prospect of huge economic investments that the United States and Russia could engage in together after the war.

With Kirill Dimitriev talking about trillions of dollars worth of economic advantages and investments, I think a lot of economists regard that as a wildly inflated figure, but it is part of Russia's effort to keep the Americans focused on what Russia would like to see.

Why are some older people's minds as sharp as they were when they were young? Many of us find that our memory and cognition deteriorate as we reach old age. But some people, so-called super-agers, have brains that remain almost perfectly intact. A new study out of the US has found that at the age of 80, these people have about twice the number of new neurons as a typical person. In other words, they're continuing to grow new ones throughout their lives.

Tara Spears-Jones is professor of neurodegeneration at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. She wasn't involved in this piece of research, but she spoke to James Menendez about the findings.

Is it possible that if scientists can identify the genetic differences between super-agers and people who aren't, that that could then at some point lead to genetic treatments for people who develop Alzheimer's or to prevent Alzheimer's? Do you see where I'm going? Is that a possible path?

The more than 10,000 members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will begin marking up their ballots on Thursday to choose next month's Oscar winners for Hollywood's biggest night of the year. For the first time, Norway has secured a nomination for the most prestigious award, Best Picture.
