Kid News This Month: Israel’s shaky ceasefire, India’s 75-day festival, chimp expert passes away, US fat bear competition, Ig-Nobel prize winners
Episode 203
Tuesday, 21 October, 2025

This month in wild world news… Israel and Hamas militants agree to a major ceasefire, though it’s hanging by a thread… So, will it help Donald Trump in his ambitions to get a Nobel Peace Prize? In India festival season is on– but have you heard of the 75-day festival that is the longest-lasting in the world? We have a special on-site report. In science news the world’s leading primatologist (as in a person who studies primates!) passes away – we’ll tell you why Jane Goodall was known as the “chimp whisperer.” And with winter fast approaching in the northern hemisphere, bears in the US are fattening up for hibernation – but which cuddly creature will win the Fat Bear Competition? Lastly, forget about the Nobel prizes – the other ones are perhaps more interesting, or, at least more odd! Confused – well, listen to the end and you’ll be all the wiser.
