Global gas prices soar at the pump
A diesel price of 249.9 pence per liter is displayed on a petrol pump at a petrol station in London, Thursday, June 9, 2022.
Gas prices in the US are at an all-time high, according to the American Automobile Association. But on the other side of the Atlantic in Europe, they’re paying much more. And, earlier this month, the State Department dropped a massive report that looked at the state of religious freedom in some 200 countries. Also, this month in Rome, Pope Francis canonized 10 new saints. He’s named a record number of saints since becoming pope. Plus, no letup in the grueling battles raging in Ukraine’s eastern Donbas region. We hear the story of one Ukrainian soldier shaken by the relentless fighting.
