Attacks on Ukraine, Hurricane Warnings, and Protecting Forests
Leah and Sam explain Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities, civilian protection and rescue work; how Isaias has become a hurricane with new warnings for parts of the US Gulf Coast; and how police in nine Latin American and Caribbean countries cooperated against environmental crime. They separate documented harm, official warnings, forecasts and investigation results from claims that still need checking.
