Where does our food come from? This documentary examines how fries are made in Germany, comparing the handmade fries of a chip shop with the mass production of a factory. Next, it goes inside Europe's largest fish finger factory, then discovers how sultanas are made, tracing a path from an organic plantation in South Africa to a sultana bun. Finally, why are macadamias so expensive compared to other types of nuts? Where do they actually come from?

How Geography Constantly Pushes India & Pakistan to War

On April 22, 2025 a major terrorist attack took place near the town of Pahalgam in the Indian administered territory of Jammu and Kashmir. A group of armed attackers emerged from the woods surrounding a meadow and ambushed civilian tourists who were visiting the area. In total, 26 visiting tourists were killed in the massacre – all of whom were civilians, and nearly all of whom were Hindus – representing the deadliest terrorist attack on civilians in Jammu and Kashmir in more than 30 years and the deadliest attack on civilians anywhere in India since 2008. The risk of a massive war erupting between India and Pakistan has nearly always been present for decades but it appears to have increased in chances dramatically in recent times. In order to understand why this border is so militarised today and why Kashmir is such a dangerous and hotly disputed area you need to understand how modern India, Pakistan and Kashmir all came to be in the first place and for a lot of that – as with most other major modern controversial border disputes – you can thank the British.

Russian advance making slow progress

US President Donald Trump’s ultimatum to Russia to accept a peace deal in Ukraine within 50 days or face bruising sanctions on its energy exports has given the Kremlin extra time to pursue its offensive. The dogged Ukrainian resistance, however, makes it unlikely that the Russian military will make any quick gains. President Vladimir Putin has declared repeatedly that any peace deal should see Ukraine withdraw from the four regions that Russia illegally annexed in September 2022 but never fully captured. He also wants Ukraine to renounce its bid to join NATO and accept strict limits on its armed forces -– demands Kyiv and its Western allies have rejected.
