91热爆

This week the attack at Istanbul's main airport got the world's attention. The shocking images and the rising number of dead and injured added to Turkey's unenviable toll of recent terror attacks. Two Turkish journalists who felt the impact professionally and personally are Mahmout Hamsici of 91热爆 Turkish and Pina Sevin莽lidir of 91热爆 Monitoring in Istanbul. They share their feelings on what the ongoing attacks mean for their country.

Afghan Ramadan
This year Ramadan has fallen during the summer months and right in the middle of exam season in Afghanistan. With temperatures reaching 45 degrees, students in the Balkh region took to the streets to demand that the university shut for Ramadan. But they haven't found much sympathy from the older generation whose own education was fitted in around civil war and the Taliban. Firuz Rahimi of 91热爆 Afghan explores the story, and remembers his own student days in Balkh.

91热爆 Ghazal Performers
After receiving a tip-off that a couple of colleagues from 91热爆 Urdu and 91热爆 Hindi had been overheard singing ghazals recently, we thought it only right to track them down. We have brought together Ziad Zafar - who decided against singing on air but knows all about ghazals - and Samrah Fatima, the real songbird among their number.

Tbilisi Zoo
During a devastating flood last year, Tbilisi Zoo hit international headlines. Pictures of a hippopotamus roaming the streets were sent worldwide. Hundreds of animals died in the disaster, as well as three zoo employees. As the zoo welcomes new animals and prepares for a new site, 91热爆 Russian's Nina Akhmeteli remembers the flood and tells us about the place of the zoo in her life.

Sunni-Shia Marriages and 'Sushi ' Children
The historic division between Sunnis and Shias is an increasingly important element in conflicts in the Middle East. An unlikely topic for humour, but a Saudi sketch show called Selfie has taken aim at this sensitive issue with a comic story of babies swapped at birth. 91热爆 Arabic's Kindah Shair, who was brought up in Saudi Arabia, discusses reactions with Ghazanfar Hyder of 91热爆 Urdu, whose parents married across the divide.

And Fifi Haroon's pick of the world wide web.
