The latest diplomatic crisis between Israel and Australia is threatening to undermine a 76-year relationship. The Albanese government's decision to recognise a Palestinian state in an upcoming meeting of the United Nations General Assembly, combined with its denial of a visa for an Israeli politician, has led to significant backlash. The Israeli government is accusing the Australian government of inciting antisemitism and has now revoked visas for Australian diplomats in the occupied West Bank.

Folge vom 19.08.2025INTERVIEW: This killer causes a million deaths - and gets a special day?Wednesday August 20th is World Mosquito Day - and it may seem strange to set aside a day for an insect which accounts for around a million deaths a year. Nearly 700 million people contract mosquito-borne illnesses every year. The mosquitoes act as vectors, carrying bacteria, viruses, and parasites that cause illness in humans. Malaria, dengue fever, yellow fever, Zika virus, West Nile virus, and Japanese encephalitis are some of the most prominent diseases spread by mosquitoes. Things have improved, however - according to one survey, nearly half the world population was at significant risk from malaria in the 19th century with a 10% mortality among those infected. Today, it's feared global warming could potentially lead to a wider spread of mosquito-borne diseases due to increased mosquito populations and geographic range.
