From DW:
People in India are celebrating the arrival of the monsoon season after a long period of drought. But the heavy rain has also spurred doctors to issue a warning about Dengue fever. It is carried by mosquitoes, which like to breed near water.

Boyana Church (UNESCO/NHK)
Located on the outskirts of Sofia, Boyana Church consists of three buildings. The eastern church was built in the 10th century, then enlarged at the beginning of the 13th century by Sebastocrator Kaloyan, who ordered a second two storey building to be erected next to it. The frescoes in this second church, painted in 1259, make it one of the most important collections of medieval paintings. Source: UNESCO TV / © NHK Nippon Hoso Kyokai
