The Indian government has raised strong objections to BBC's coverage of the Pahalgam terror attack. BBC's headlines and articles referred to the incident as a 'militant attack' and used terms like 'gunmen' instead of 'terrorists'. The government has sent a stern message to BBC's India head, expressing strong sentiments over the coverage. The dispute centers on the terminology used to describe the attack, where innocent tourists were shot dead. #bbccoverage #pahalgamattack #terrorismreporting #itwebvideos #mediaethics #indiagovt #kashmirtourism #internationalmedia subscribe to India Today for NEW VIDEOS EVERY DAY and make sure to enable Push Notifications so you'll never miss a new video.

Every few years, countries around the world compete in global rankings to see which nation is deemed to have the best school system in the world. Schools in Asia often get the best results, and other countries like Estonia and Canada are also highly praised. But in many parts of the world there are often huge barriers to getting children into the classroom at all, such as poverty, climate change, and war.

On this episode of The Global Story, Lucy Hockings speaks to the BBC's Sean Coughlan and Professor John Jerrim, from University College London, about which countries have the most successful education systems in the world and what others can learn from them.

Two months after Israel closed all crossings to the Gaza Strip, there are warnings that mass starvation could be imminent.

The UN's World Food Programme and Unrwa, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, recently said they have used up all their stocks of food aid.

A few dozen remaining food kitchens are now the only source of a daily meal for hundreds of thousands of people.

Israel shut all crossings to Gaza on 2 March - preventing all goods, including food, fuel and medicines from entering - and resumed its military offensive two weeks later, ending a two-month ceasefire with Hamas.

It said these steps were meant to put pressure on Hamas to release the hostages it still holds.

Israel's fire service says more than 150 teams are continuing to battle what are said to be the worst wildfires in the country's history.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared a national emergency when several blazes broke out on Wednesday outside Jerusalem. He said strong winds and dryness had created "a deadly combination”.

Several towns have been evacuated. However, main roads which were closed into the city have now been reopened to traffic.

Israel has requested international help, including firefighting planes, to help put out the remaining flames.

One of the largest Palestinian refugee camps in the occupied West Bank has become uninhabitable, said the mayor of Jenin.

Before the outbreak of the war in Gaza in October 2023, Israel was already engaged in a military campaign against armed groups in the West Bank.

Israel's defence minister has called the camps "nests of terror" and in January stepped up its campaign against the armed groups operating inside them – entering and blockading a number of refugee camps in the northern West Bank that are home to tens of thousands of Palestinians.

It ordered residents to leave and began a wave of building demolitions, while giving some residents brief opportunities to gather belongings.

The BBC has followed the story of one man who was forced out of the Jenin refugee camp and whose home was identified for demolition by the IDF.

Armed gunmen in Syria who carried out a wave of recent sectarian killings of the country’s Alawite minority were advised and overseen by government forces, according to evidence gathered by the BBC.

One man, Abu Khalid, said he had travelled as a civilian fighter to the Mediterranean coastal village of Sanobar on 7 March, to help battle former regime insurgents.

He filmed himself shooting dead a 64-year-old village resident, Mahmoud Yusef Mohammed, at the entrance to his house. Abu Khalid, who has now been arrested, insisted his victim was an armed insurgent. However video he filmed of the incident does not support his account. He now says he had been told by the government security officials not to harm civilians but only to shoot at insurgents.

Human rights groups estimate that almost 900 civilians, mainly Alawites, were killed by pro-government forces across Syria's coastal region in early March. The Alawite sect is an offshoot of Shia Islam and its followers make up around 10% of Syria's population, which is majority Sunni. Syria’s former President Bashar al-Assad who fled the country last December is an Alawite.

Syria's coastal area - a stronghold of the former regime - has been largely sealed off, but a BBC team gained access, speaking to witnesses and security officials about what happened in Sanobar. The violence came a day after fighters loyal to the country's former President led deadly raids on government security forces.

Syria’s new Sunni Islamist-led government had called for support from various military units and militia groups to respond to those raids – but that escalated into a wave of sectarian anger against Alawite civilians.

Witnesses told the BBC that several different armed groups had targeted Alawites for summary executions. Some also said that government security forces had battled violent and extremist factions in order to protect Alawite villagers from attack.

Clive Myrie presents BBC News at Ten reporting by Lucy Williamson in Sanobar.

When technologist Luis von Ahn was building the popular language-learning platform Duolingo, he faced a big problem: Could an app designed to teach you something ever compete with addictive platforms like Instagram and TikTok? He explains how Duolingo harnesses the psychological techniques of social media and mobile games to get you excited to learn — all while spreading access to education across the world.
