  @BBCRD@social.bbc @BBC_News_Labs@social.bbc The origin of most the problems is TRADE, fix it and most of wasted time of patching trade created problems will diminish, so we would have more time in creating beautiful and useful things- trade-free products and services.

  Forty years ago, the world’s worst nuclear accident took place at Chernobyl, in what was then the Soviet Union. When news of the disaster began to emerge beyond the Iron Curtain, one of those paying close attention was Adi Roche in Ireland. At the time, Adi was working as a peace educator, teaching about nuclear weapons and Cold War tensions. She went on to found Chernobyl Children International, which became one of the most significant and sustained humanitarian responses to the disaster. Over...

  Panagrinėkime, ką kiekvienam iš mūsų reiškia vadovavimas ar pagalba. Ar tai nereiškia individualių sunkumų, skausmų ir kančių išsprendimo? Jei esi dvasinis mokytojas ar gydytojas, aš ateinu pas tave tam, kad man parodytum laimingą gyvenimo kelią arba išgydytum ligą. Mes ieškome gyvenimo būdo iš nušvitusio žmogaus, o žinių ar informacijos — iš išsilavinusiojo. Mes norime pasiekti, norime būti sėkmingi, norime būti laimingi, todėl ieškome gyvenimo modelio, kuris padėtų mums pasiekti tai, ko trokšt...

  Earlier this month, a volcanic eruption, which sent a plume of ash some 10km into the sky, killed three people hiking up Mount Dukono in Indonesia. The tourists had climbed the mountain despite official warnings. It is the latest incident in recent years where tourists have been killed visiting an active volcano. We explore the attraction of volcanoes, as well as hearing about the extreme danger they can pose to visitors and those living nearby. “I think it’s good in life to maybe do something t...

  Mes turėjome gausybę vedimo ir nurodymų. Kiekvienas laikraštis, kiekvienas žurnalas, kiekvienas pamokslininkas, kiekvienas kunigas visame pasaulyje mus veda, sako mums, ką daryti, ko nedaryti, galvoti taip, negalvoti anaip, atsiduoti, neklausyti jo, nes jis reakcionierius, klausyti manęs... Mes nuolat esame vedami, formuojami, lipdomi — sąmoningai ar nesąmoningai. Čia mes nieko nevedame; mes esame tarsi du draugai, kartu besikalbantys apie dalykus. Tai visiškai kas kita. Ir vedimas trukdo supra...

  'Virtual farewells' have become a trend on Russian social media. AI generated videos, depicting soldiers who have been killed in the war and paid for by their families, are being produced by AI artists. They show fantastical scenes of soldiers ascending to heaven; portrayals of their family members as guardian angels hovering over the front line; or sometimes little boys imagining a heroic future fighting in Putin's war in Ukraine. Liza Fokht of BBC Russian has been following the tre...

  The story of former French President Nicolas Sarkozy’s rise and fall has been gripping France. There are allegations of a secret pact with a dictator and unexplained meetings between figures close to government and a known terrorist. And so much cash that party workers do not know what to do with it. The former French President was jailed last year for conspiring to fund his 2007 election campaign with money from the late Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi. He is currently appealing his sentence -...

  Žmogus turi būti laisvas tam, kad visiškai taptų šviesa pačiam sau. Šviesa pačiam sau! Šios šviesos negali suteikti kitas, taip pat negali jos užsidegti nuo kito žvakės. Jei užsidegi ją nuo kito žvakės, tai tėra žvakė; ją galima užpūsti. From This Light in Oneself #Krishnamurti #Meditation #phylosophy #mind #day143 #lt

  Negalite priklausyti nuo nieko. Negalite gauti šviesos iš kito, kad ir kas jis būtų — Dievas, gelbėtojai ar Budos — jos negalima perduoti kitam; žmogus turi visiškai ir pilnai būti šviesa pats sau. Tai nereiškia savanaudiškos ar egocentriškos veiklos; priešingai, būti šviesa pačiam sau reiškia taip visiškai suprasti save, kad tame supratime nebūtų jokio iškraipymo to, kas esi. From Questioning Krishnamurti #Krishnamurti #Meditation #phylosophy #mind #day144 #lt

  In 2017, five men digging in an open pit found the third largest diamond ever unearthed in West Africa. It was dubbed the Peace Diamond, in memory of the brutal civil war that had ravaged large parts of the region in the 1990s – a war driven in part by factions competing for control of the diamond trade. When the Peace Diamond sold for $6.5 million at auction in New York, the government pledged some of the profits would provide solar power, a clinic, a school and a road connection for the Sierra...

  Every year during Brazil’s carnival celebrations, samba schools are tasked with creating elaborate parades based around a unique theme, from which they build huge floats, compose a song, and choreograph an entire visual spectacle. Tom Raine follows one of São Paulo’s oldest samba schools, Águia de Ouro, in the final stages of creating their carnival parade for their most important event of the year - parading in São Paulo’s iconic Sambadrome in the attendance of thousands of people, and millions...
