A Day In The Life of a London Firefighter

One hundred firefighters are mobilised to a massive fire at a garden centre near Heathrow Airport. Things take a dramatic turn when it’s discovered there is a large quantity of highly explosive gas canisters on site, directly in the path of the spreading fire. And things go from bad to worse as the brigade realise they don’t have enough water to keep the canisters cool and fight the fire.

Capability Brown’s Unfinished Garden

Capability Brown is known as the founder of landscape design. Three hundred years ago, he created some of the most magnificent landscapes in England. He travelled the length and breadth of the country, improving more than 200 of the greatest estates in the land, for some of the most influential people in the 18th century. But there is one plan that never got off the drawing board – his own garden.

Why the Fall of Syria Checkmates Russia & Iran

For 54 years, the Assad family dominated Syria’s government, despite a civil war that had raged since 2011. But a renewed rebel offensive against the government that began at the end of November 2024 exposed the Assad regime in the country as an empty house of cards. The Assad family’s rule in the country was decisively overthrown in a matter of only 11 days.

52,000 people killed in Gaza war

Hospitals in the Gaza Strip received the remains of 51 Palestinians killed in Israeli air strikes in the past 24 hours, the local Health Ministry said, bringing the Palestinian death toll from the 18-month-old Israel-Hamas war to 52,243. Israel ended its ceasefire with Hamas by launching a surprise bombardment on March 18, and has been carrying out daily waves of strikes. Ground forces have expanded a buffer zone and encircled the southern city of Rafah, and now control around 50 per cent of the territory. Israel has also sealed off the territory’s 2 million Palestinians from all imports, including food and medicine, for nearly 60 days. Aid groups say supplies will soon run out and that thousands of children are malnourished.
