Premiering Now - #TheAssassination
https://youtu.be/y5YQnEGbIXo

Anwar Sadat was never meant to dominate West Asia’s history.

Yet he expelled Soviet advisers, launched the 1973 war against Israel, crossed into Jerusalem, signed the Camp David Accords, and changed the region’s political trajectory forever.

He also faced protests, economic turmoil, mass arrests and rising Islamist anger.

On October 6, 1981, during a military parade, soldiers opened fire. Sadat was killed in front of cameras.

This episode examines the war, the peace, the backlash, and the assassination that shaped Egypt’s future.

Greenland has shattered temperature records, deepening concerns over the accelerating impact of climate change in the Arctic.

With snowfall declining sharply, traditional dog sledders are struggling to maintain their livelihoods as shorter winters and thinning ice disrupt centuries-old practices.

Hunting, long central to food security and cultural identity, is now in crisis as shifting ice patterns make travel dangerous and wildlife harder to track.

The knock-on effect is economic as well as environmental.

As subsistence activities decline, reliance on costly imported goods rises.

These rapid changes are increasingly threatening not only daily life, but also key pillars of Greenland’s fragile economy.

Spain and Portugal are grappling with the aftermath of three major storms, resulting in floods, landslides, and storm surges that caused multiple fatalities and billions in damages.

Storm Marta's recent impact saw over 26,500 rescue workers deployed in Portugal, with waves reaching 13 meters high and rivers overflowing.

Communities were evacuated, and infrastructure severely affected, particularly in Spain's Andalusia region.

Emergency shelters were established for thousands displaced, with medical support provided.

Financial losses for Portugal may exceed four billion dollars, while farmers face significant crop destruction.

Meteorologists link increased storm intensity to climate change, raising concerns about future preparedness for such extreme weather events in southern Europe.

Cyclone Gezani tore through Madagascar, killing at least 35 people and displacing more than 250,000, just days after another deadly storm struck.

Winds of up to 250 km/h flattened homes, destroyed infrastructure, and triggered flooding and landslides across major cities, including the key port of Toamasina.

Authorities say nearly 75% of the city has been damaged.

Scientists warn climate change is intensifying tropical storms by warming ocean waters and increasing rainfall.

As Madagascar struggles to recover, leaders and aid agencies are urging urgent international assistance and stronger global action to address the accelerating climate crisis.
