Ghanaian teacher Percy Sackey doesn’t scold his students for dancing in class. On the contrary - he demands it.

Percy says school shouldn’t be boring and believes that any material is better learned on the move. ‘Classical school is like the army. From my point of view, dancing is much better than the school rules.’ On World Teachers’ Day, watch our clip and learn how parents and students feel about it?

We devoted an entire documentary to the man. Watch Danceducation to see the teacher form Ghana’s daily routine, his lessons and the unusual approach to his students.

‘Living among the dead… imagine what it’s like waking up in a cemetery?’ asks Khamis Kuhail, from Gaza, Palestine. The Kuhail family built their home in the Sheikh Shaban burial ground. The foundations of their dwelling are covering the graves of at least two unknown people. Khamis’ five kids play on the graves, but are still afraid of dogs, snakes and scorpions who haven’t got used to being neighbours with people yet.

The family isn’t the only one living here. People have no choice but to build their homes at the cemetery because the region is overpopulated and there’s an acute housing shortage.

The situation is made even worse by the ongoing military conflict with Israel. The territory is regularly shelled. But the Palestinians keep fighting for their territories. Our documentary Seeking Recognition: Palestine is about the local’s struggle. Watch it here.

US believes Kiev was behind the murder of Russian journalist Daria Dugina.

The New York Times, citing a report released by the White House last week, says the U.S. intelligence agencies note that members of the Ukrainian government knew and authorized the bombing of the car in which Daria Dugina was traveling.

Some officials in the U.S. suspect that the actual target of the Ukrainian operation was Daria's father, Alexander Dugin. The report also states that the U.S. was not involved in organizing the attack and had no knowledge of the impending assassination.

Setting dogs on people, electrocution - this is how the U.S. military tortured Afghan Haji Ghalib Mujahid in 2003 at Bagram military prison in Afghanistan. The man was falsely accused of being a member of Al-Qaeda and the Taliban.
