Europe braces to receive tens of thousands of refugees

The World
Refugees leaving to Romania after fleeing from Ukraine, walk at the border crossing in Palanca, Moldova, Thursday, March 17, 2022.

European infrastructure and processes are fast developing to receive tens of thousands of new refugees. We hear about the challenges for Europe as large numbers of refugees arrive from war-torn Ukraine. And the war in Ukraine has threatened to limit Brazil’s supply of fertilizer from Russia. Now, Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro wants mining expanded on Indigenous lands to create a domestic fertilizer source. Plus, architect Diébédo Francis Kéré makes history as the first African to win the esteemed Pritzker Prize — the highest honor in architecture. Kéré, who grew up in Burkina Faso, has dedicated his career to creating structures out of scarce resources with the community in mind.
