It is a quiet street in a fairly tough part of Sao Paulo, but the sound of high velocity weapons firing and the thud of rounds impacting every few seconds is somewhat disconcerting. We ring the doorbell of an innocuous-looking building; after a few minutes the thick metal door opens, and we are greeted by

The hunger is sharp in Lyman but the instinct to survive, even sharper.

As we followed their route through the village of

The US president is hardly unique in saying the risk of a nuclear “Armageddon” is higher now than it has been since the Cuban missile crisis – or as it is known in Russia, the Caribbean crisis. Anyone who has thought for more than five seconds about Vladimir Putin’s nuclear threats given the geopolitical state

At Udon Thani hospital, we witness an unbearable procession of grief.  We’re standing by a narrow road as a convoy of vehicles arrive.
