Murder in the heart of the Amazon

Brazilian Claudelice Silva dos Santos was the youngest of 11 siblings in her forest home, but when her eldest brother was killed trying to protect it, her world fell apart.

Claudelice Silva dos Santos had a dream-like upbringing as the youngest of 11 siblings in her forest home in Brazil, but when her eldest brother Zé was gunned down for trying to protect it from illegal loggers, her world came crashing down. Fleeing to the city heartbroken, she then had a decision to make: retreat at the threats to her life or pick up where her brother left off and take on the fight for justice and for the place she calls home? She’s featured in the new short documentary, The Landless, made in conjunction with Global Witness.

Dr Rahul Mandal won the hearts of baking fans everywhere when he became the winner of the Great British Bake Off, the UK’s most prestigious amateur baking TV show, in 2018. But growing up in Kolkata in India, baking breads and cakes had been an alien concept to Rahul, and to the amazement of the watching public, he’d first tried his hand at it just two years before entering the competition. He told Outlook’s Andrea Kennedy about his unusual rise to cake-baking stardom.
