  • Why Morocco’s king has banned sheep for Eid
    2025/06/09

    For millions of Moroccans, Eid al-Adha means quality time with your family, eating delicious food - and the tradition of sacrificing sheep. But this year, the king of Morocco, Mohammed VI, has banned the practice because of a seven-year drought in the country. Dry pastures have meant that the number of sheep herds has dropped sharply, while the cost of meat rises. King Mohammed says the ban is necessary to prevent “significant harm” to families struggling with high prices - but not all Moroccans are happy with the restriction of their religious practices.

    Basma El Atti, a Moroccan journalist based in Rabat, explains why Eid al-Adha is such an important festival and talks us through the reasons for the ban. And BBC Monitoring journalist Samia Hosny tells us more about the long-lasting drought in the region and how it’s affecting daily life there. And we hear from young Moroccans celebrating Eid about what they think of the ban.

  • How to hack your flight luggage allowance
    2025/06/06

    Baggage fees have become part and parcel of international travel, with charges taking off in recent years. Globally, passengers spent $150 billion USD last year on added ‘extras’ such as seat selection and baggage fees - that’s 25% more than they spent in 2023. There’s also a growing number of ‘packing hacks’ videos on social media, with more people looking for ways to avoid paying fees for their bags.

    BBC reporter Sam Gruet explains why airlines started charging for luggage in the first place and how it varies around the world. And travel expert and content creator Chelsea Dickenson shares her tips on how to cut costs when travelling.

  • Is it possible to end new cases of HIV by 2030?
    2025/06/05

    World leaders pledged to end the AIDS pandemic as a public health threat by 2030. And the World Health Organisation aims to reduce HIV infections from 1.5 million in 2020 to 335,000 by 2030. The African continent still has the highest number of HIV infections globally.

    How will cuts to the US government's main overseas aid agency, USAID, affect the treatment and prevention of HIV in Africa? And will it make it harder for countries to end new cases of HIV by 2030?

    BBC Africa health correspondent Makuochi Okafor explains what HIV is and how it’s currently treated and prevented. He also breaks down some of the misinformation around HIV and PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) which stops HIV getting into your body. And we discuss what impact the cuts to USAID are having on HIV treatment and prevention programmes.

    BBC journalist Nathalia Jimenez also gives us a brief guide to the cuts to USAID.
