Bongani Bingwa speaks to Adam Gilchrist about the global stories making headlines today, starting with the devastating high-rise fire in Hong Kong’s Tai Po district where at least 44 people have died, 279 remain missing, and three suspects have been arrested for manslaughter as authorities investigate the blaze that required more than 760 firefighters to contain; then to Germany, where a parking warden in the Bavarian city of Kempten is accused of quietly stealing around €1 million in coins from parking meters over several years, triggering a major money-laundering probe after banks flagged unusual deposits; and finally to the United States, where President Donald Trump continued the traditional Thanksgiving turkey pardons, this year sparing Gobble and Waddle, folding the lighthearted ritual into a politically charged atmosphere shaped by his extensive second-term clemency record.
