AfD win, Ukraine, glacier blankets and horse smuggling
About this episode
The episode discusses the AfD's electoral success in Germany, the ongoing Ukraine conflict, a rescue from a glacier disaster in Nepal, research on glacier melt, and horse smuggling on the Texas-Mexico border.
Germany's far-right AfD wins in Saxony-Anhalt, edging closer to state-level power for the first time since World War Two. U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner talk up "new ideas" after shuttling between Moscow and Kyiv, but as winter closes in, hope on the streets wears thin. Rescuers pull a 64-year-old woman alive from the Nepal glacier disaster. Swiss researchers test sheep's wool blankets to slow Alpine glacier melt. And on the Texas-Mexico border, horse smugglers wade the Rio Grande, raising screwworm fears. 📲 Podcasts, breaking news, and video analysis from the source. Download the Reuters app here.
