Every 10 years the government has to count the population. But some people would rather not be counted.

If you heard that there was a piece of technology that could do away with traffic jams, make cities more equitable, and help us solve climate change, you might think about driverless cars, or hyperloops or any of the other new transportation technologies that get lots of hype these days. But there is a much older, much less sexy piece of machinery that could be the key to making our cities more sustainable, more liveable, and more fair: the humble bus. Steven Higashide is a transit expert, bus champion, and author of a new book called Better Buses Better Cities. And the central thesis of the book is that buses have the power to remake our cities for the better. But he says that if we want the bus to reach its potential, we’re going to have to make the experience riding one, a lot more pleasant.

Intelligence. What does it mean? The word "intelligence" has two main meanings in English. First, it can mean "mental capacity" – if you are intelligent, you can think clearly and rationally, for example. But "intelligence" also means information. For example, we can talk about "market intelligence" – and that means, information about what is happening in a market, such as the stock market or the international oil market. Very often, we use "intelligence" to mean information which is secret, or which has been obtained illegally.

Today we visit the Channel Islands. The Channel Islands are a group of islands in the English Channel, close to the north coast of France. But they are not part of France. And they are not really part of Britain either. The British Queen is also ruler of the Channel Islands, and the British government looks after their defence and foreign affairs. But in other respects, the islands are tiny independent states – they have their own Parliaments and governments and their own laws. Until about 100 years ago, most people on the islands spoke a dialect of French, but today the main language is English.

A few years ago there were lots of lightbulb jokes in English. You probably had them in your language too. Here is an example. How many policemen/civil servants/school teachers does it take to change a lightbulb? Five – one to stand on a table holding the lightbulb, and four to pick the table up and turn it round. Some people find these jokes very funny. Other people don't think they are funny at all.

Босни́йский язы́к (также босняцкий, босанский, бошняцкий; самоназвание: bosanski jezik / босански језик) — язык южнославянской группы, традиционно считающийся этнолектом сербохорватского. Это язык мусульманского населения бывшей Югославии, распространённый преимущественно в Боснии и Герцеговине, где имеет официальный статус, в Сербии (главным образом, в области Новопазарский Санджак), в Черногории и в частично признанной Республике Косово. В Республике Сербской язык официально называется језик бошњачког народа. Основные отличия языка от сербского и хорватского заключаются в широко представленных турцизмах, арабизмах и персизмах, закрепившихся здесь во времена господства Османской империи. На боснийском говорит около 1,33 млн человек. Письменность на латинице-гаевице и кириллице-вуковице, ранее применялись также арабское письмо, глаголица и босанчица (местная разновидность кириллицы).
