Two years ago, the city of Chernihiv in northern Ukraine faced potential devastation during Russia's full-scale invasion, with citizens enduring a 40-day blockade without basic necessities. Chernihiv is tranquil and green again and some of the damage has been repaired. But the horror runs deep and fears of renewed attacks are mounting as Russian troops advance. In the latest from the dpa trends & features desk, we hear about how life for the residents in Chernihiv is slowly returning to normalcy despite ongoing challenges, including recent missile strikes.

Heidi the Goldendoodle has had just about enough. She has a lot of hair deep in her ears, which first has to be twirled around the tweezers and then plucked out in tufts. The young dog from south-western Germany also has a bad smell coming from her ear. It's possibly an inflammation, says vet Francisco Landines. He tells the owner of the now very indignant Goldendoodle to come back next week. But Heidi is not sitting in a normal veterinary's office. Landines operates a mobile practice from a former ambulance converted into a treatment room. The 39-year-old vet has been operating the van-turned...

The Leipzig native and former drug user who lived in and out of squats, he finally lucked out when he found a job at granola maker Heyho in Lüneburg three years ago. It was a rocky road, he says. "I went cold turkey here." But it was worth it. After having felt numb for 20 or 30 years, "Now I'm clean and still having fun." Boss Timm Duffner, who founded Heyho, a company he says is a granola roastery with a social conscience, is also happy when he looks back at his work with Daniel. "At the s...

Britain's Queen Victoria (1819 - 1901) loved the sea. Her "Bathing Machine," a rolling beach cabin to protect her privacy, can still be seen today on the private beach of her country estate Osborne House on the Isle of Wight. Try taking a dip in the cool waters today though and you may find yourself swimming in raw sewage. Cowes Beach, near Queen Victoria's former home, is the most polluted beach in the country, awash with raw sewage, according to a new analysis. Dirty water flowed into the sea there for almost 5,000 hours last year, official data analysed by environmental campaigners Friends ...

Two years ago, the city of Chernihiv in northern Ukraine was threatened with annihilation as Russian troops seemed set to reduce it to rubble as they did in Mariupol. Russian forces completely surrounded Chernihiv, a regional capital 200 kilometres north of Kiev, from the outset of the Kremlin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, launched on February 24, 2022, right up until April 2022. During that 40-day blockade, citizens were stuck in their city lacking electricity, heat and water. They had little to eat and were in constant fear of being bombed. Chernihiv is tranquil and green again and some ...

Tour guide Kham Dee gestures towards the deceptively idyllic landscape of Xieng Khouang province in north-eastern Laos and says that everything, from oil lamps, cowbells and cooking pots, is made from bombs. As visitors arrive at Ban Napia, dubbed the "war spoon village," the significance of his words unfolds with striking clarity. Fragments of cluster bombs, rusty rocket launchers, stacks of grenades or artillery fire, even the wing of a military aeroplane lean against the walls of houses. The remains of the weapons are melted down and turned into useful items such as as spoons. The so-called...
