Leap years and why we need them – BBC News
In Lebanon, one in five people have been forced to leave their homes since fighting renewed in March.
The BBC’s Middle East correspondent Hugo Bachega joined paramedics on duty in Nabatieh – a city that was once vibrant, but is now abandoned.
Israel say some ambulances and health facilities in Lebanon are being used by Hezbollah – but paramedics say there is no evidence of this claim.
Elsewhere, the Israel Defense Forces said troops had killed more than 20 Hezbollah fighters operating from a hospital compound in Bint Jbeil on Sunday, the site of fierce fighting during the 2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah.
Lebanon’s health ministry denied the claim, accusing Israel of targeting civilians and medical facilities.

Police in Greece have been recruiting migrants to violently push other migrants back across its land border with Turkey, according to wide-ranging evidence uncovered by the BBC.
Pushbacks – forcing migrants and asylum seekers back across borders without due process – are generally considered illegal under international law.
The Greek prime minister told the BBC he was “totally unaware” about allegations of the use of migrants for pushbacks, while the country’s authorities have not responded to our written detailed requests for comment.

US President Donald Trump has accused Iran of doing a “very poor job” in handling oil passing through the Strait of Hormuz, arguing it was “not the agreement we have”.
It comes as the ceasefire between the US and Iran was agreed earlier this week, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu aiming to begin direct talks with Lebanon for peaceful relations.
A US State Department official confirmed it would host a meeting next week in Washington “to discuss ongoing ceasefire negotiations with Israel and Lebanon”.
After Israeli strikes continued in Lebanon throughout Thursday, Trump said that Israel would be “scaling back” its strikes in the country to support peace talks.

Also in the programme, presenter Christian Fraser is joined by leading AI thinker Gary Marcus and Oxford University robotics expert Professor Sara Bernardini to explore what a future shaped by autonomous machines could mean for work, safety and society.
Plus, tech reporter Lara Lewington meets 19‑year‑old student Maeve O’Neil, whose smart ring detected a life‑threatening health issue before it was too late.

If leap years were omitted we could have Christmas during Northern Hemisphere astronomical autumn after 20 years or so
Latest Solstice Date is December 23 so we would need to drop another leap year or two for it to work

when they say "we" they mean the Africans.
What they did was messed up the math in the Calendar.
The Egyptians had calculated that the solar year was actually closer to 3651/4 day. After 1,460 solar years, or four periods of 365 years, 1,461 Egyptian years had passed.
The reason why Western societies use 4 years is because their society don't last for 1460 years.
to have a proper leap year.. you need to have dynasties. dynasties requires LONG peace and stability.
THE 4 year is wrong, the months are wrong as well. Julia Caesar wants a month , a month was put in. Queen Victoria wants a lake, a lake was renamed
Ethiopia has the correct Christian calendar. The new year starts at the longest day of the year.

there must be something wrong at 2:02, the timeline should be 1600, 1700, 1800, 1900, 2000, then 2100 and 2200, but the video shows 2010 and 2020 followed by the 2000.

Technically, Pope Gregory XIII did not actually create the century exceptions. All he did was assign two astronomers, Christopher Clavius and Lilius a job to find a way to reform the calendar. Once they found out what to do, they asked the pope if it was good and he ordered it to be in effect. So yes, it’s named after the pope, but he didn’t actually make the rules, so to speak.
