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.

Beseiged Palestinians struggle to feed families

For nearly 60 days, no food, fuel, medicine or other item has entered the Gaza Strip, blocked by Israel. Aid groups are running out of food to distribute. Markets are nearly bare. Palestinian families are left struggling to feed their children. In the sprawling tent camp outside the southern city of Khan Younis, Mariam al-Najjar and her mother-in-law emptied four cans of peas and carrots into a pot and boiled it over a wood fire. They added a little bouillon and spices. That, with a plate of rice, was the sole meal on Friday for the 11 members of their family, including six children. Among Palestinians, “Fridays are sacred,“ a day for large family meals of meat, stuffed vegetables or other rich traditional dishes, al-Najjar said.
