Until the age of 36, the Argentine Ignacio knew nothing about his real parents. From infancy, he was raised by a foster family. As an adult, Ignacio passed a DNA test. Fortunately, his grandmother was found in the database. All this time she hadn't stopped looking for him.
His mother and father went missing during the military junta of 1976-1983, immediately after the birth of their son. Ignacio was given to another family. Did the meeting with her own grandson make the grandmother happy? See our video.
It contains footage of one of the episodes of our series Argentinian DNA (2019). It shows how the children of political oppositionists were kidnapped and given to other families during the military junta in Argentina. Hundreds of mothers and grandmothers are still looking for their loved ones.

‘I had a two-year-old child. They threw him in the fire and burned him. They beat the five-year-old aтd threw him into the water. They killed my five-year-old, too.’
Myanmar refugee Momtay Begum recounts how the military wiped out her family. She is a Rohingya Muslim, one of the world’s most oppressed ethnic minorities.

These children work as hard as adults.
At the brick factories in Afghanistan, the youngest are five years old. Despite their age, they all carry jerry cans of water, pour the clay into wooden molds and wait for the bricks to dry. Carts take them to the kilns for firing and then pick up the finished bricks. In the smoldering coal, children look for pieces that can be reused. Sometimes they burn their fingers.
There is a food crisis in Afghanistan. Even children have to work around the clock to earn some money for food. They don't know what toys are, and few have ever gone to school.
Children from Bangladesh also go to work in brick factories with adults. It is unhealthy, but brick-making is almost their only source of income. Our documentary Brick Slaves discusses this dire situation. Watch it here.

Footage shows Philippine residents, half in water, attempting to negotiate flooded streets due to typhoon Noru.
Dozens of villages have been submerged under water, and entire provinces have lost electricity. According to authorities, more than 52,000 locals were moved to emergency shelters. Several provinces and cities, including the capital Manila, suspended classes and government work.
Among the victims were five rescuers who were using a boat to help residents trapped in floodwaters. They were hit by a collapsed wall and apparently drowned in the rampaging waters. ‘They were living heroes who were helping save the lives of our countrymen in the calamity. This is really sad,’ said Gov. Daniel Fernando of Bulacan province.
Noru is the most powerful typhoon to hit the country this year. With sustained winds of 121 miles per hour in some areas and strong gusts, forecasters say it's expected to weaken slightly, but will remain dangerously ferocious.

Diving for Gold
The Philippines is considered one of the world’s most disaster-prone countries. About 20 storms and typhoons batter it each year. Also, the archipelago lies in the ‘Pacific Ring of Fire,’ where many volcanic eruptions and earthquakes occur.
Although the locals live in extreme conditions, they can hardly leave the place. The job market is utterly poor. One of the very few opportunities for making money is diving for gold in the local Klondike. The workers face immense risks to their lives when diving: ‘We saw a man who hit his head on a rock and died,’ says one of the gold prospectors in the Philippines.
The inherent risks of the work have not stopped people as they can earn at least some money, enough for a daily serving of food. A common dream for all of the workers is to save something for their children’s education, so they don’t have the same fate as their parents.
Discover more about the Philippines and its life in our documentary Diving for Gold.

Biden Urges Gas Station Owners to Lower Fuel Prices
‘The companies running gas stations – bring down the prices that you’re charging. Do it now, do it now.’ US President Joe Biden warns gas companies at a meeting of the White House Competition Council to lower the prices they are charging to consumers.
The anti-Russian sanctions, which the US imposed right at the beginning of the special military operation have ricocheted against the country itself. For almost 7 months gas prices have been on the rise and are almost unaffordable for many Americans. The cost for food has skyrocketed as well.
Watch our documentary where military analysts and experts explain why and how sanctions target those countries that impose them. Listen to the interviews and see the statistics in Sanctions: Boomerang Effect.

By the middle of the 20th century, there were only 20-30 Amur tigers left in the world. They almost disappeared due to poaching and deforestation. The endangered animals are listed in the Red Books of Russia and of the world.
Now the population of these striped cats is making a comeback. Today, there are about 750 of them in Russia. Specially protected natural areas have been created for them in the Far East.
In China, killing a tiger can bring five to ten years in prison and a hefty fine. The country has created a huge national park on the border with Russia. Only a few dozen animals live there, some of whom are just guests. They constantly cross the border to Russia and return.
Watch our video about the striped cats. For more details, see our documentary In a Siberian Tiger's Footsteps.

Do you believe in shamans’ powers?
They claim to communicate with spirits, predict the weather, and cure illnesses. Once a year, shamans gather for collective prayers on Olkhon Island, the Siberian Republic of Buryatia. Ordinary people can also attend.
During the prayer service shamans feed the spirits and let them in. The strongest ones call on the patrons of the area. For example, the supreme shaman communicates with the spirit of the island.
Watch the film So, You Want to Be a Shaman to have a look at a spectacular blessing ceremony on Baikal.
