Surgeon'became robotic' to treat sheer volume of wounded Lebanese A Lebanese surgeon has described how the sheer volume of severe wounds from two days of exploding device attacks forced him to act robotic just to be able to keep working. Surgeon Elias Jaradeh said he treated women and children but most of the patients he saw were young men. The surgeon said a large proportion were "severely injured" and many had lost the sight in both eyes. The dead and injured in Lebanon include fighters from Hezbollah - the Iranian backed armed group which has been trading cross-border fire with Israel for months and is classed as a terrorist organisation by the UK and the US. But members of their families have also been killed or wounded, along with innocent bystanders.

A large yet tidy refugee camp rises from the desert near the Syrian-Jordanian border. Most people wouldn't think of this as a hub of innovation, but nevertheless, a science and technology show has arrived with cameras and microphones. They're interviewing officials from UNICEF who describe the techniques they developed to safely remove sewage from the camp. Another week, and the cameras arrive in Stockholm to watch a new type of drone make its way through a dark tunnel. The show in question is 4Tech, a program on the BBC Arabic that since 2011 has attracted viewers in a market dominated by glitzy Arab versions of reality shows like "The Voice" and "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire."
