Blue's Clues is an American children's show that premiered on Nickelodeon in 1996, featuring an animated blue dog who leaves paw-print clues for the viewer to solve. Its creators based the format on child development research, using repetition and the same structure in every episode so young children could follow along. The show invited viewers to answer questions aloud, which was unusual for television at the time. It became the highest-rated show for preschoolers on American commercial television and was broadcast in 120 countries.

Israeli reports also say the cabinet directed the military to prepare for a possible new attack on Iran.

Angkor, near Siem Reap in northern Cambodia, was the capital of the Khmer Empire, which ruled much of mainland Southeast Asia between roughly the 9th and 15th centuries. At its height the city spread across about 3,000 square kilometres, making it the largest pre-industrial city on Earth by area. Its growth depended on water: huge reservoirs called barays, along with canals and embankments, stored monsoon rain and carried it to rice fields. That system let farmers harvest more than once a year and fed a very large population through the dry season. The temple complex of Angkor Wat, built in the early 12th century, is the best-known monument and still stands at the heart of the park.
