Challenges for flood early warning systems


Listen Later

Flood disasters around the world continue to grow as climate change fuels intense and erratic rainfall. We look at what hurdles remain in ensuring early warning systems are effective and what disparities exist for those who are and are not warned in time. Also, the 14th Dalai Lama, who just turned 90, has announced that he will be reincarnated and have a successor. And, clashes between Indigenous Sámi reindeer herders and a mining company in Norway. Plus, a festival in Turkey for the ancient sport of oil wrestling.

Listen to today’s Music Heard on Air.
