podcast
And sadly, not the first attack on a Christmas market in Germany.
And briefly, Germany in political turmoil anyway just now, with an election just weeks away.
Damien McGuinness in Berlin. Officials say the perpetrator was a 50-year-old Saudi doctor who arrived in Germany in 2006 and had indefinite right to remain. The police believe he was acting alone. Our security correspondent Frank Gardner has this assessment of the incident.
Frank Gardner, a senior US diplomat, has said that Washington is scrapping a reward... for the arrest of Syria's new leader, Ahmed al-Sharah. Barbara Leaf was speaking after the first meeting between senior American diplomats and de facto leaders of Syria. It was described as positive. Other Western diplomats have already met officials from the HTS Islamist group which overthrew President Assad.
It's still designated as a terrorist group by Washington, but delisting it would ease the path towards sanctions relief that the new Syrian authorities need. Our correspondent Lina Sinjab is in Damascus. She gave us this update.
And the Americans say they're also hoping there'll be no role for Iran in the new Syria.
What are the Americans hoping to achieve with these talks?
Lina Sinjab. As the new Syria struggles to take shape, old threats are re-emerging. The chaos since the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad is paving the way for the Islamic State group to make a comeback. That's according to a leading Kurdish commander, General Mazum Abdi, who helped defeat the jihadist group in Syria in 2019.
He's told the BBC that IS activity has increased significantly in recent weeks. The general heads the mainly Kurdish SDF, a force backed by the US. They're also responsible for holding around 10,000 IS suspects in Syria's Kurdish northeast. Our senior international correspondent Ola Guerin was given rare access to the largest IS prison there.
That report by Ola Gurin. In a world where we so often hear of the threat to endangered species and of species becoming extinct, it's heartening to hear that new ones are still being discovered. An expedition to Peru's Altamira region has discovered 27 new species, including an amphibious mouse with webbed feet and a blob-headed fish.
Nestling between the Andes and the Amazon, Otamayo is a lush patchwork of jungles, wetlands and mountainous terrain. Trond Larsson was the expedition lead. He's senior director for biodiversity and ecosystem science at Conservation International. Julian Marshall asked him if they knew they might come across something new in the animal world.
Trond Blassen of Conservation International. Still to come... The Chinese President Xi Jinping has been in Macau celebrating the 25th anniversary of its handover from Portugal to Chinese rule.
The Japanese government says it will come up with a plan in the next few months for the disposal of 14 million cubic meters of radioactive soil from Fukushima. The soil is currently stored at a site covering 16 square kilometers. Mickey Bristow reports.
Mickey Bristow. The Chinese President Xi Jinping has been in Macau celebrating the 25th anniversary of its handover from Portugal to Chinese rule. Chinese TV live-streamed the day's event, showing children with flowers lining the streets. There were visits to Macau's Science and Technology University and a Chinese military garrison.
It was also an important day politically, as Macau's new leader, Sam Ho Fai, was inaugurated, and President Xi was keen to point out the success of the city since 1999.
But the special administrative region on the southern tip of mainland China is most famous for its casinos. Millions of Chinese tourists flock there to gamble, and President Xi also called on the city to diversify and cultivate new industries. So could we see Macau change? I spoke to our China media analyst, Kerry Allen.
The phrase many people use to describe Macau is one country, two systems. We've heard that phrase before in the region.
And how well is one country, two systems going down in Macau?
The BBC's China media analyst Kerry Allen. Netflix has secured exclusive rights to show the next two Women's Football World Cup tournaments in the United States. It's the first time the streaming platform has acquired live rights to a sports competition in full. Here's Elettra Naismith.
Elettra Naismith. Stonehenge, the huge stone circle in southern England, has long been thought of as a religious monument. Now a leading archaeologist and authority on the site says he believes it was built for political reasons to unite early farming communities and not specifically for religious worship.
