Did you know that food grown in Ukraine feeds 400 million people around the world?
Since Russia invaded its neighbour three weeks ago, Ukrainians need outside help to keep from going hungry, and that’s where the UN World Food Programme comes in, as we’ll hear.
Away from Europe, earlier this week, we heard UN Secretary-General António Guterres implore donors for funds to help Yemen, where two in three people need aid just to survive.
Myanmar’s been in the spotlight too, one year since Tatmadaw generals staged their coup, with chilling results, as we’ll hear from UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet.
And stay with us for comments from Solange BC, who’s taking us on a literary Odyssey at the end of the show.
