The World

A UNICEF official talks about what humanitarian aid workers are doing in Gaza to help Palestinian civilians. Also, Vladimir Putin met released Russian prisoners on a red carpet at the airport on Thursday. We’ll hear about Moscow’s view of the historic prisoner exchange. And Thailand’s wildlife is fantastically diverse. Its elephants, primates and wild tigers are a source of national pride. But one native species that is not loved is the water monitor. It’s a dog-sized creature with snakelike fangs and is widely despised by Thais. But one group of young people wants to convince society to start loving this four-legged creature. Also, our reporters serve up samples of the food and drink people enjoy across the globe, when weather heats up.
