- Description
- For millions of Moroccans, Eid al-Adha means quality time with your family, eating delicious food - and the tradition of sacrificing sheep.
Click here to subscribe to our channel 👉🏽 https://bbc.in/3VyyriM
But this year, the king of Morocco, Mohammed VI, has banned the practice because of a seven-year drought in the country. Dry pastures have meant that the number of sheep herds has dropped sharply, while the cost of meat rises. King Mohammed says the ban is necessary to prevent “significant harm” to families struggling with high prices - but not all Moroccans are happy with the restriction of their religious practices.
Basma El Atti, a Moroccan journalist based in Rabat, explains why Eid al-Adha is such an important festival and talks us through the reasons for the ban. And BBC Monitoring journalist Samia Hosny tells us more about the long-lasting drought in the region and how it’s affecting daily life there. And we hear from young Mo...

- During the 1970s and 80s, thousands of Chilean babies were illegally kidnapped, trafficked and adopted.

The practice was widespread during the military rule of General Augusto Pinochet, who encouraged overseas adoptions and who mostly targeted poor and indigenous women. A network of adoption brokers, hospital staff, social workers, judges, priests and nuns facilitated this trafficking.
Today many of Chile’s ‘stolen children’ are trying to trace their birth families - and their mothers are also looking for them.
Hundreds of them have been successfully reunited with the help of a small Santiago-based NGO called Nos Buscamos.

They’re mostly found in Canada, but also in Russia, the US, Norway and Greenland. Their main prey is seal, specifically seal blubber, as they need a diet high in fat to survive the freezing Arctic conditions.
Polar bears are great swimmers but they can’t outswim seals. So they hunt them on the Arctic sea ice, waiting for them to come up for air and then pouncing.

In Uganda, proms are often a super lavish event, with couples flying in on helicopters or pulling up in expensive cars, before doing multiple outfit changes through the night. But the government says it’s gone too far — and it’s brought in new rules to curb the celebrations. Uganda’s Ministry of Education has banned what it calls “indecent dressing” and has even introduced a 6PM curfew, arguing that extravagant prom parties put unnecessary financial pressure on parents.
Gloria Achieng, a BBC reporter in Kenya, tells us more about Uganda’s prom culture and what these new rules mean for students. We hear from young people across Uganda, who share their thoughts on the ban with us. And we find out which member of the What in the World team is prom royalty. And how...

People use fashion to express themselves. Many of us think carefully about what we put on and how others will view our outfits, whether we choose an iconic hat or a monochrome look. But for politicians and their spouses, every look is carefully calculated to send a specific message.
South Korea is having a snap election which means that image consultants are quietly shaping the new public faces of leadership, from tie colours to jumpers to hairstyles. Yoon Suk Yeol was removed from office for putting the country under martial law for six hours in December. Polls have placed Lee Jae-myung of the main opposition Democratic Party as the frontrunner among six candidates, followed by Kim Moon-soo from the ruling PPP.

South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa and his delegation went to Washington last week hoping for a boost and a reset after months of bitterness with the Donald Trump administration. Instead they got brutal, high-stakes diplomacy, peppered with insults, which played out to millions across the world in real time. This included Trump showing a video which supposedly proved ‘genocide’ was taking place against white farmers.
BBC journalist Nomsa Maseko breaks down where this false claim came from, how people in South Africa have responded to it, and what impact it could have on the future of relations between the two countries. We also hear why some white Afrikaners are taking up the offer of refugee status in the US.
