Newsday

Available for over a year

A group of well known pro-democracy activists are convicted in Hong Kong - in a trial which is likely to have major consequences for their cause. We'll get the reaction of a prominent politician there. Ukraine is struggling as the pandemic bites. Kiev's mayor is pleading with people to follow the rules - as we will hear live from the city. US President Joe Biden has set out a two trillion dollar plan to boost the economy, improve infrastructure and fight climate change. Our business reporter in Los Angeles will examine that ambitious agenda. And we'll hear why electric cars have led to a rush to mine in the depths of the ocean - and what sort of impact that is having on our environment.
