Pentagon vows to expand Latin America boat bombing campaign inland
About this episode
The US military has been conducting deadly strikes on boats it says are carrying drugs off the coast of Latin America. Now, the US Defense Department says it's expanding that maritime campaign to land. Also, the death of Jason Arday, a Black professor at the University of Cambridge, has sparked a debate in Britain over the media scrutiny he faced in the weeks leading up to his death. And, a new survey shows that some young people across Africa think USAID cuts could be a positive moment of change for the continent. Plus, Afghanistan could see its first woman in space.
