GettyImages Big infrastructure projects should be based on the needs of people and communities. Often, they are criticised for benefiting the wealthy only. These projects reflect specific agendas of political and economic elites who are able to advance their interests through the developments. They interplay with existing inequalities and almost inevitably have highly uneven effects. An example is Kenya's Standard Gauge Railway, a massive infrastructure project that connects the port city of Mombasa to the capital, Nairobi. So how can these projects be made beneficial to more people? Civil society groups are crucial to ensuring equity. They have the power to reach marginalised groups and can educate them about projects and about their rights. It is also important to make sure projects don't become a political tool. In today's episode of Pasha, Gediminas Lesutis, a Marie Curie Fellow at the University of Amsterdam, talks about making massive infrastructure projects work for communities.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 15-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East, and the Jewish world, from Sunday through Thursday. Senior analyst Haviv Rettig Gur and health correspondent Nathan Jeffay are on today's podcast, hosted by Raoul Wootliff. On today's show, we assess the decision of FDA advisers to back administering the Pfizer vaccine to US children ages 5-11, paving way for Israel to follow. We look at where Israel currently stands in its fight with the virus and ask what it needs to do now to ensure the fading Delta variant or other variants don't return. With the deadline for the government to pass a budget just two and a half weeks away, the coalition appears to be preoccupied with infighting. We look at the battles between the government's left and right-wing parties and try to predict what might happen after the budget is, possibly, passed. And finally, we hear the latest on the Netanyahu corruption trial and assess the damage the new stage of testimonies could cause to the former prime minister. Discussed articles include: FDA advisers back Pfizer shot for ages 5-11, paving way for Israel to follow After FDA nod, Israel gears up to start vaccinating 5- to 11-year-olds Health officials say Israel could start vaccinating kids 5-11 by mid-November With 1.75 million unvaxxed or not boosted, Israel risks dropping ball – expert Coalition increasingly split on left-right lines as budget deadline looms Opposition drops boycott of Knesset committees after court ruling Netanyahu trial turns to alleged benefits he provided Bezeq telecom company Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on iTunes, Spotify, PlayerFM, Google Play, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Indonesia is the world’s largest Muslim country. There are hundreds of indigenous faiths, practised for centuries. They are not recognised by the State and are viewed as unbelievers. Rebecca Henschke travels through some of the world’s last remaining rainforest to meet the Orang Rimba – people of the jungle. She meets those who are trying to preserve their nomadic way of life and those who, after losing their forest, are being forced by the state to convert.

Has Uganda been accepting more refugees on a daily basis than some European countries manage in an entire year? That is the claim from the Norwegian Refugee Council – and it is a claim we put to the test. Civil war and famine in South Sudan have forced millions to leave their homes, and this has had a colossal impact on neighbouring Uganda. We speak to Gopolang Makou, a researcher at Africa Check who has some startling figures to share.

Manuela Saragosa explores the power food has to evoke memory and how memory impacts the food we eat. Jamie Oliver’s mentor – Italian chef Gennaro Contaldo – cooks up a batch of his most nostalgic dish, his mama’s pasta, and tell us why he prepares it when he is feeling down. A neurologist explains why food and smells have such a powerful impact on our brains. And, find out why ‘brand nostalgia’ is a marketing dream when it comes to getting people to part with their cash. From Tokyo to Moscow via Nairobi we hear stories about your favourite comfort foods and meet the company using nostalgia to help people with dementia regain their appetites. Finally, we travel down under to find out why a humble collection of children’s birthday cake recipes has been dubbed ‘the greatest Australian book ever published.’ (Photo: Children receiving free meals.

Professor Robert Plomin talks to Jim al-Khalili about what makes some people smarter than others and why he is fed up with the genetics of intelligence being ignored. Born and raised in Chicago, Robert sat countless intelligence tests at his inner city Catholic school. College was an attractive option mainly because it seemed to pay well. Now he is one of the most cited psychologists in the world. He specialized in behavioural genetics in the mid '70s when the focus in mainstream psychology was very much on our nurture rather than our nature, and genetics was virtually taboo. But he persisted conducting several large adoption studies and later twin studies. In 1995 he launched the biggest longitudinal twin study in the UK, the TED study of 10,000 pairs of twins which continues to this day. In this study and in his other work, he has shown consistently that genetic influences on intelligence are highly significant, much more so than what school you go to, your teachers or home environment. If only the genetic differences between children were fully acknowledged, he believes education could be transformed and parents might stop giving themselves such a hard time.

Turkey goes to the polls on Sunday in a critical general election. Many of the voters opposed to the ruling party of President Erdogan are putting their hopes in the HDP, which has its roots in Kurdish nationalism. If it gets the 10% of the vote it needed to enter parliament, it could block Erdogan's plans to give the presidency more power. Maria Margaronis visited a run-down area of Istanbul - one of the HDP's strongholds. (Photo: Children in Tarlabaşı, Istanbul, stronghold of the Kurdish People's Democratic Party. BBC Copyright)
