Please join me as I explore the surprises coming with Climate Change, the Pandemic and the War in Ukraine from a background of studying development in 40 nations.

Public health officials say the Coronavirus was transmitted to humans from animals in a Chinese market that sells fresh bat meat.
Unemployment and poverty driven by the global Covid-19 pandemic is forcing families to push their young girls into marriage.
