Earth influences all life on our planet. The same is true in reverse: Animals, plants, and inanimate matter also shape habitats. But humans are currently changing this dynamic cycle.

Sabine, Clais and Orm were children when their fathers were murdered. The killings, carried out by the far-left German terrorist group the Rote Armee Fraktion ("Red Army Faction”), or RAF, brought an abrupt, violent end to their childhoods. In this film, they share how terrorism changed their lives forever.

Oil markets are swinging wildly as conflict spreads across the Middle East, turning crude into the world's most powerful geopolitical pressure point. We examine the forces pushing prices higher — from tension in the Strait of Hormuz and damage to key Iranian infrastructure, to mounting fears of supply disruptions, fertilizer shortages, and a ripple effect that could drive food prices even higher.

Centuries‑old beliefs protect Ghana's monkeys, but rising tensions and habitat loss now put that bond to the test. Plus: a literal lifeline for South Africa's seabirds and a hand-built amateur EV truck.

The beaches of Zanzibar are heavenly. But there's more to this paradise than white sand and turquoise water. The country is poor and the infrastructure is often inadequate. Nevertheless, people's optimism is tangible.

Finding parking in Vienna is almost impossible, yet the city aims to slash more parking spots. Learn why that could help drivers, too. Plus: How researchers are making cycling safer and test driving the new Peugeot 308.

How does the brain turn experiences into memories? Scientists reveal how two neuron types control learning. Also: lynx rewilding, natural hydrogen, and avalanche risk.

From unnecessary C-sections to poorly healed C-section scars and depression — many women face stressful interventions and emotional crises around childbirth. What can help?

Whether during the game or training: AI supports athletes with real-time analyses, personalized exercises and intelligent recovery strategies. Referees are also increasingly relying on AI systems.

This Berlin neighborhood is loaded with "Plattenbau” - cheap prefab construction thrown up in much of postwar Europe to quench runaway housing demand. Despite their bad rep, some people want to bring them back. Modular construction builds on the principles of prefab and is now introducing new production technology and greener materials.
