Rachel Townsend travels to Brazil to meet individuals still dealing with the aftermath of the 2015 Fundao Tailings dam collapse. This catastrophic event released 50 million cubic meters of toxic waste into the River Doce, affecting the lives of countless people.
In France, Sam Holder examines the situation facing the country’s Jewish population in the lead-up to the first anniversary of the attack on Israel. Recent election results have left 38% of French Jews contemplating a move to Israel.
