1. "Everyone in Mumbai is in a state of acceleration - there is something real here,” says well-known Indian photojournalist Pablo Bartholomew. He is holding an exhibition of black-and-white photographs of Mumbai, formerly called Bombay, taken in the 1970s and '80s. The show is being held in Delhi's PHOTOINK gallery.

2. “I am attracted to people who have a kind of outsider element to them,” says Bartholomew. The pictures in grainy black and white capture the many moods of the city and its people.

3. Bartholomew came to Mumbai in 1976 to "escape his troubled teenage past". “The city has always been an economic refugee’s haven. I too came to Bombay as a refugee to find myself both economically and in my work."

4. "Often I'd wandered aimlessly through the streets hoping to discover its many parts, bit by bit, day by day, month by month, always amazed by the infinite visual joy in each discovery of this place that came to be called home," says Bartholomew.

5. His images show, says Bartholomew, "my outside world in the streets and subcultures of opium dens, red light area, street kids and the city as it was then".

6. "Having escaped bureaucratic Delhi, leaving behind my troubled teenage life, I found acceptance in this city not for whose son I was but for my skills and talents and of what use they could be to others. This propelled me to try to find myself both economically and in my work," says Bartholomew.

7. Bartholomew says the show is a manifestation of his association with the "city and its people, known and unknown".

8. "I look back with warmth and gratitude at what the city offered me. It was with a grudging reluctance that I left the city in the mid ’80s; the death of my father and trouble brewing in the north of the country beckoned me as I entered the world of journalism," says Bartholomew.

9. Bartholomew says his departure from Mumbai "marked the end of the documentary phase of my work as I started to work as a journalist and had to turn to colour, abandoning the world of black and white". The show features more than 100 photographs.

10. Mumbai is India's richest city, but more than half of its people live in slums and on the streets.

11. On display are portraits of ordinary people going about their daily work as well as marginal characters like drug addicts and eunuchs.

12. Here, film extras, who Bartholomew encountered while working as a photographer in Bollywood, take a break in between the shots.

13. "Bombay has many layers - money, showbiz," says Bartholomew. A rare picture of Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan with extras during a film shoot

14. "It is a real city, a hard, intense place," says Bartholomew of Mumbai. "It had a democratic way that it treated many people of different faith, colour, belief; outsiders were absorbed in as long as they had something to offer the city."

1. Thick ice covering the River Danube began to break up on Sunday, bringing chaos to one of Europe's busiest waterways.

2. Boats were damaged, as were structures on pontoons. One boat owner said that out of about 100 boats moored at the Kapetanija marina, "only a handful" escaped unscathed.

3. Several floating restaurants were beached on river banks after the ice snapped anchor lines.

4. Boat owners were advised to constantly monitor their property but not to try to recover it from the water as of Monday morning.

5. The thaw came after a cold snap which lasted several weeks. In parts of Serbia, the snow reached a depth of 2m (6ft 6in).

6. Commercial shipping on the Danube was badly disrupted. These two barges and a ship with 13 sailors on board were frozen into the ice last week.

7. While some came out to assess the damage, others took advantage of the warmer weather to feed the birds on the Danube. Temperatures rose from -20C (-4F) last week to 10C on Sunday.

8. Others just stopped to look at the effects of the coldest weather in Serbia for many years. Ice more than 30cm (11in) thick in places broke up over the weekend as temperatures rose.

1. Revellers partied into Tuesday morning at Rio's colorful Carnival parade on the second night of the "greatest show on earth," with exquisitely decorated floats and lavishly - if skimpily - costumed performers. The night processions at Rio's renovated Sambadrome marked the high point of the pre-Lent festival, a national holiday that has brought the nation of 191 million people to a near-standstill. Sao Clemente, the first of six top samba schools to take centre stage at the Sambadrome, drew inspiration from a selection of popular Broadway musicals such as "The Phantom of the Opera" and "Cabaret". The school, known for its irreverence, had a float displaying a reclining Statue of Liberty in bikini and sandals holding an ice cream.

1. These tiny monsters may look like they are from another planet but they are in fact creatures from our deepest oceans.

2. Known as Polychaetes (bristle worms), they survive intense sea pressures where sunlight never penetrates.

3. Since the 1970s, scientists have revised their ideas about the deep ocean floor.

4. Instead of a barren wasteland, they have discovered diverse communities of creatures that live on and around hydrothermal vents.

5. Hydrothermal vents are cracks in the seafloor, usually found around quake zones, volcanoes and the edges of tectonic plates.

6. They release superheated water and a cocktail of chemicals that provide a home for creatures like the scale worms.

7. Scale worms crawl along the seafloor near a vent, using their vicious-looking teeth to munch on the bacteria and simple organisms that thrive in the hot water and chemical soup.

8. The vent community gets its energy from chemistry rather than photosynthesis, since no light reaches the depths.

9. This leads to some bizarre relationships: the scale worms are hosts to symbiotic bacteria that may be providing them with nutrients.

10. Some scientists believe that the worms may rely on the bacteria to survive.

11. They may be monsters from the deep, but their ability to survive in the deep ocean makes scale worms fascinating to researchers like Daniel Desbruyeres, a senior researcher at Ifremer, France. "The deep sea realm is one of the most diverse habitats on Earth," he says, "yet our perception of it is still in its infancy," he said.
