Pakistan: hospitals putting children at risk of HIV
Crossing ContinentsOutbreaks of HIV have become regular occurrences in Pakistan. And too frequently it is the children who suffer. In the city of Taunsa, for example, children have tested positive for HIV while their parents have not. So what’s been going on? In Crossing Continents Ghazal Abbasi investigates what and who is to blame. With the help of a staff insider and undercover recording in the city’s main hospital, the BBC finds shocking lapses in medical protocol. Medicine vials and syringes are often re-used for different children. Cross-contamination seems inevitable. But the local authorities deny the hospital is at the centre of the problem.

**There are warnings of gales**
There are warnings of gales
Depending on where you are in relation to the steep white cliffs or the brown dirt hillsides
Depending on the lush green valleys filled with cows and sheep and goats and pigs
Looking out across the wheat fields in the late summer filled with the sway of the long stemmed grasses wishing they were oceans free of human intent for their impending death
Somewhere out in the world
There are warnings of gales
Inner turmoils or extra terrestrial battles
Or arguments in the corner shop over who could have the last packet of plain chocolate digestives
It is all relevant. Everything has its own equivalency. Each strike of potential catastrophe is equivalent to the next.
I recall the storm of 1987, which I slept through like a soft baby in a warm blanket. My mother called the following morning and I had no idea what she was talking about. The gales had swirled around me and might have caused total destruction, yet, I was safe in my swaddling clothes of care and love and a good bedsitter in Earls Court.
But, be aware of warnings of gales. In the end they will get us all.A poem in celebration of the Shipping forecast. (https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006qfvv)

Broadcasting
The BBC's radio Shipping Forecast celebrates it's 100th year in 2025. As a commemoration on New Years' Day, BBC Radio 4 is transmitting programmes themed on the Shipping Forecast , from the serious to the sublime.
One example (which may or may not be included) can be heard here. It includes the line "COW in sea area Shannon, moving eastwards. Sorry, that should be LOW."

@Laplantgenetics Yes! A few weeks ago i turned on #BBCRadio4 and, by chance, there was a programme about what to do in a #Heatwave and what the #UK overall needs to do for #ClimateAdaption. Good of course but hearing BBC voices talking about this made it all so much more real; brought home that this really is it now. I found this atrangely upsetting and surreal, even after years of campaigning and asking for more media coverage.
