New Russian airstrikes damage power grids in Kyiv


Listen Later

A day after Russia carried out new airstrikes in Ukraine, which damaged power grids and water systems in the capital, we hear a story about a mother and her children returning home, and a crew of electrical maintenance workers trying to bring power back to Kyiv. And, Belgium is embroiled in a huge controversy after it recently emerged that a 23-year-old survivor of the 2016 Brussels airport bombing had chosen to end her life this May under the country's euthanasia law. Also, a number of videos on social media in recent days have shown hundreds of migrant Chinese laborers in Tibet protesting and clashing with police. After three months of lockdown, they are demanding that they be allowed to go home, and have reportedly gotten their wish. Plus, the Brazilian samba-funk sounds of Rogê goes on the road.
From now through the end of the year, we're aiming to raise $100,000 from 1,000 donors to power our nonprofit newsroom. Donate today so we can continue bringing The World to you! Learn more here.
