'Look at my hands. Are they any different from yours? Eight fingers, two thumbs. No strange marks on the backs of my hands, no devil's kiss, none on the palms. No spreading stains - see little crosses - they mean something. I can't remember what. Lines of my heart, my head, my luck, my life - quite long, my life. And here's my destiny. Fate has something up her sleeve for all of us, but she's a very special trick for me.'

David Attenborough has written and presented an ambitious television series - Life on Earth, which begins tomorrow on BBC2. Shot in locations all over the world, the series tells the story of how the first simple organism that appeared in the sea about 3,500-million years ago, evolved and multiplied into today's complex animal world. On the eve of the first programme, David Attenborough talks to Paul Vaughan about the series and about his life-long passion for natural history.

Yet Turkey, economically weakened by the United States aid embargo and still locked in a major dispute with Greece, is today being wooed by the Soviet Union with a broad array of aid projects and cooperative ventures.
Erik de Mauny was recently the first journalist to be allowed to visit the Arpacay Dam, now under construction on the Soviet-Turkish frontier. Are Turkey's Western allies driving her into Moscow's arms because they misunderstand her plight?
