Trump administration officials are talking about more military strikes against suspected drug gangs in the southern Caribbean. This follows a US attack on a small boat from Venezuela that President Donald Trump says killed 11 “narcoterrorists.” Also, a new patient safety initiative dubbed “Martha’s Rule” rolls out across hospitals in England. And, the world’s largest iceberg that’s been drifting in the Antarctic for a decade is disappearing. Plus, elite athletes swim 124 miles of the River Thames to raise awareness for clean bathing waters in the UK.
