Bangladesh: Sunken Country | Investigate Asia By 2050, 30% of Bangladesh will be under water. One in three inhabitants, some 60 million people, are threatened by marine flooding. No other country in the world is so at risk from rising waters. The main culprit: global warming. To the south, in the Ganges delta, the salt water that invades the land has disrupted the entire economy of the region. Many farmers have had to convert their rice paddies into shrimp farms, which are much less profitable. The country is also threatened from within by its gigantic rivers. The melting ice of the Himalayas and heavy monsoon rains are dangerously increasing their flow. Every year, the rivers bursts their banks and tens of thousands of homes are washed away. Every year, nearly 15,000 children drown in the rising waters. Due to all these natural disasters, Dhaka, the capital, is facing a massive influx of climate refugees. Having lost everything, they are looking for odd jobs to survive. Korban Ali became a tricycle driver to transport people. He works 12 hours a day

A daring plan, a deadly corridor, and one bridge that changed everything. Step onto the streets of Arnhem as the Allies launch Operation Market Garden, a high-stakes bid to end the war by Christmas. From Joe’s Bridge to the Lower Rhine, witness how flawless planning met fierce resistance: radios fail at critical moments, drop zones lie eight miles from the target, and SS Panzer divisions refit faster than expected. See why John Frost’s 2nd Battalion dug in at the road bridge with dwindling ammo and water, how the stormboat assault at Nijmegen turned the tide there, and why the Polish brigade’s delayed drop mattered more than anyone feared. Tiger tanks, broken tow ropes, lost gliders, and a nighttime evacuation known as Operation Berlin all collide in a battle that still provokes “what if?” Discover the courage, the missteps, and the razor-thin margins that made Arnhem a legend. Watch to uncover the decisive moments you think you know — and the ones history nearly forgot. Watch now for the full story.

From the omen of 1066's long-haired star to Hastings and the Harrowing of the North, this episode charts William the Conqueror's brutal rise. In History Makers, we trace the Norman story from Viking roots to the making of a king. We meet Rolf the Ganger and the birth of Normandy under Charles the Simple, then enter William's perilous childhood: assassination plots, the murder of his guardian Osborne Crepon, and years of anarchy. We see the young duke's iron resolve at Alençon, where taunts of "hides for the tanner" triggered a ruthless reprisal, and his strategic marriage to Matilda of Flanders. With Edward the Confessor's death, rival claims ignite. We examine Harold Godwinson's disputed oath in Normandy, William's papal-backed invasion force, and the contrasting battle doctrines of Norman combined arms of archers, spearmen and cavalry, as shown on the Bayeux Tapestry, versus the Anglo-Saxon shield wall and Dane axes. After Harold's dash north to defeat Harald Hardrada and Tostig at Stamford Bridge, the stage is set at Senlac Hill. At Hastings, arrows, infantry and cavalry grind at the Saxon line. When

From Apollo 11's tense 1202 alarm to SpaceX's early return attempts and ESA's Gaia, this episode traces how spaceflight evolved under pressure and ingenuity. Early on July 16, 1969, more than a million people gathered around Cape Kennedy to witness Apollo 11 lift off, the culmination of a decade aimed at meeting President Kennedy's lunar goal. At the launch center, tension was high as rocket pioneer Werner von Braun and NASA teams prepared the giant Saturn V. Michael Collins, Buzz Aldrin, and mission commander Neil Armstrong brought hard-earned Gemini experience, while unusual simulators and a Langley gantry helped them rehearse lunar gravity. Twelve minutes after liftoff they reached orbit. Trans lunar injection and docking proceeded smoothly as mission control refined navigation alongside the Apollo Guidance Computer. In lunar orbit, the command module became Columbia and the lunar module Eagle. The descent toward a long ellipse in the Sea of Tranquility unfolded in stages. Fuel sloshing muddied guidance, then the computer threw a 1202 alarm. A young software engineer recognized the overload as survivable, and Armstrong used the final phase to

Septimius Severus, a Roman emperor of African descent, ruled during the early 3rd century and led a significant campaign in Britain to unify the island under Roman rule. Severus, born in Leptis Magna (modern Libya), ascended to power in 193 AD after the assassination of his predecessor. He leveraged his wealth and military prowess to seize the throne, becoming Rome's first African emperor. In 208 AD, Severus led the largest Roman invasion force to Britain, aiming to conquer the northern regions (modern Scotland) that had resisted Roman control for centuries. The Roman army faced fierce guerrilla resistance from local tribes who used the rugged terrain to their advantage, attacking Roman supply lines and patrols.
