U.S. Iran talks cancelled, Inquiry into deaths of Innu children, Columbia's hippo problem, and more
4/25/202629 min
Indirect peace talks between Iran and the U.S. have stalled. Iran's Foreign Minister met with Pakistani mediators today, but a U.S. delegation did not. President Donald Trump abruptly cancelled that trip, throwing fresh uncertainty over the already bumpy efforts to end the war.
Also: In Labrador, a years long inquiry into the deaths of six Innu youth is moving toward its final phases. They died at different times, and from different causes. But they all shared one thing: they were part of the child protection system. And this week, a report presented to the inquiry highlights how that system fails Innu children.
And: With its tropical climate and verdant landscape, Colombia is the perfect breeding ground for coffee, avocados, and...hippos! The amphibious mammals were first brought there by a drug lord decades ago. Now, they're an environmental hazard. You'll hear about the drastic steps the Colombian government is taking to control their hippo problem.
Plus: Ontario agriculture faces flooding risk, Reforming paternity leave in Italy, Akheem Mesidor becomes first round draft pick for the NFL, and more.
