Alfred Lekombe, 29, sits on the water's edge in the ruins of what was his bedroom now destroyed by the rising Lake Bogoria in Marigat sub-county, Baringo county on July 28, 2026. Lake Baringo and other lakes in Kenya's Rift Valley have risen to levels not seen in at least half a century, with scientists attributing the surge to extreme rainfall linked to climate change. Tens of thousands of people have been displaced to higher ground, according to official disaster management data, yet many victims say the lakes keep following them.

A worker annealed metal over a fire at a traditional workshop in Istanbul on July 30, 2026 . First used by Ottoman military "mehter" bands to frighten and demoralise the enemy, cymbals were a useful tool for an empire on the warpath. But it would take the skill of an 17th-century Armenian alchemist called Avedis Zildjian to transform them into a percussion instrument whose exotic sound would first captivate Europe's classical composers and then shape the world of jazz.
